WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk is threatening to walk away from his $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter Inc. (TWTR) if the social media network fails to provide data on spam and fake accounts.
In a letter to Twitter's Chief Legal Officer Vijaya Gadde, which was disclosed in an SEC filing, Musk's legal team Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, has claimed that Twitter was in a 'clear material breach' of its obligations and that Musk reserves all rights to terminate the merger agreement.
'Twitter has, in fact, refused to provide the information that Mr. Musk has repeatedly requested since May 9, 2022 to facilitate his evaluation of spam and fake accounts on the company's platform,' the letter reads.
'Mr. Musk has made it clear that he does not believe the company's lax testing methodologies are adequate so he must conduct his own analysis. The data he has requested is necessary to do so,' it added.
Twitter has previously claimed that only less than 5 percent of its daily active users are bots. However, Musk has asked Twitter to provide him with information about its testing methodologies to support its claims about bots and fake accounts. Musk has also called for doing his own independent assessment based on Twitter data. He has alleged that the actual number of spam accounts could be much more than 5%, even reaching as high as 90%.
'Based on Twitter's behavior to date, and the company's latest correspondence in particular, Mr. Musk believes the company is actively resisting and thwarting his information rights (and the company's corresponding obligations) under the merger agreement,' the letter continues.
'This is a clear material breach of Twitter's obligations under the merger agreement and Mr. Musk reserves all rights resulting therefrom, including his right not to consummate the transaction and his right to terminate the merger agreement.'
However, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal continues to stand by his company's longtime spam metric. In a statement, the company said: 'Twitter has and will continue to cooperatively share information with Mr. Musk to consummate the transaction in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement.'
The company also said it intends to 'close the transaction and enforce the merger agreement at the agreed price and terms.'

About Preterm Birth
Preterm birth is defined as any birth before 37 weeks' gestation and is the leading cause of illness and death in newborns. The 2021 March of Dimes Report Card shows that more than one in ten infants is born prematurely. Prematurity is associated with a significantly increased risk of major long-term medical complications, including learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, chronic respiratory illness, intellectual disability, seizures, and vision and hearing loss, and can generate significant costs throughout the lives of affected children. The annual health care costs to manage short- and long-term complications of prematurity in the United States were estimated to be approximately $25 billion for 2016.
About the PreTRM® Test

Those who have been eagerly waiting for the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake are unfortunately facing a bit of bad news today, as the title has been delayed once again it would seem.
This announcement comes from a Ubisoft representative, who when speaking with PC Gamer stated, "We're proud of the work achieved by Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai, and Ubisoft Montreal will benefit from their learnings as the new team will continue the work to deliver a great remake. As a consequence, we are no longer targeting a FY23 release anymore and the game has been delisted."
The statement went a step further to add, "If players wish to cancel their preorder they are invited to contact their retailer. They will be updated on the project as the development is moving along."
It should be noted that a fiscal year isn't the same as a calendar year, meaning there is still a chance that Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake releases before 2024, as the Ubisoft 2023 fiscal year officially ends on March 31, 2023. | https://www.gamereactor.eu/prince-of-persia-the-sands-of-time-remake-has-been-delayed-again-1088313/ | 2022-06-06T18:31:09Z | https://www.gamereactor.eu/prince-of-persia-the-sands-of-time-remake-has-been-delayed-again-1088313/ | true | 1 |
- First Trust has become a top ETF moneymaker, inching close to Vanguard's annual ETF revenues.
- The firm runs some of the most expensive products in the industry as competitors are slashing fees.
- Some of its top executives post inflammatory tweets at a time when other firms are embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
Tucked away in a Chicago suburb and managing a relatively modest $216 billion in assets, the investment firm First Trust has quietly transformed from a small ETF player into a moneymaking machine.
Its exchange-traded-fund revenues are now within striking distance of the passive-investment giant Vanguard, and the firm has secured a steady flow of assets through financial-advisor channels. Eric Balchunas, a Bloomberg ETF analyst, has referred to First Trust as the "quiet baller," and a trade publication called its CEO, Jim Bowen, a "silent ETF kingmaker" and perhaps "the richest man no one has ever heard of."
The firm has pulled off its stealthy rise while doing the opposite of its peers. As most ETF managers are slashing fees on their products to compete on cost, First Trust charges some of the most expensive prices in the industry.
"Whenever I do any fee analysis, they tend to throw the analysis off because their fees are so expensive," Athanasios Psarofagis, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, told Insider.
And while other money managers are cranking out thought leadership and marketing materials about social and governance issues, First Trust's top executives proudly thumb their nose at mainstream views.
At least two First Trust executives have gone much further than that, posting comments on social media that industry experts told Insider could turn off investors.
Brian Wesbury, the firm's chief economist, writes for the company blog, "The Antidote to Conventional Wisdom," delivering economic analysis and outlooks followed by many in the industry. Wesbury's public Twitter page is a different story.
Tweeting under the handle @wesbury, with his company and job title in his bio, Wesbury has likened COVID-19 restrictions to slavery and expressed views on COVID-19 that he said got him barred from the platform for a time.
Meanwhile, Bob Stein, First Trust's deputy chief economist, tweeted at the New York Yankees, mocking the team's official Twitter account for tweeting facts about gun violence in the wake of back-to-back mass shootings in the US. The Antidote to Conventional Wisdom blog prominently links to Wesbury's and Stein's Twitter profiles and other social-media pages.
First Trust did not respond to multiple requests for comment for this story.
Apart from some angry Twitter replies, Wesbury's and Stein's comments haven't seemed to get them in trouble with the company or its clients. Its longer-term performance has likely helped: For instance, its second-largest ETF, the $8.8 billion First Trust Rising Dividend Achievers fund, produced double-digit returns over the three- and five-year periods ending in mid-May, outperforming most of the ETFs in its category, Morningstar data showed.
For years, First Trust has also had strong relationships with wirehouses and registered investment advisors — and an adept distribution team that has aggressively, and successfully, marketed the firm's offerings and boosted its growth, analysts at Morningstar and Bloomberg told Insider.
"If there's one thing that sets First Trust apart from many of its peers in the ETF universe, it's the effectiveness of its sales force," Ben Johnson, the director of global ETF research for Morningstar, said. "They could sell buggy whips to Tesla owners."
Those factors have seemingly overshadowed the online activities of its top executives, who have been posting antagonistic tweets at a time when the larger finance industry is increasingly focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Many asset-management CEOs have publicly supported these moves, in part to attract a younger clientele and shed an old boys-club image that has dogged the industry for decades.
CEOs and senior executives in finance have publicly called for a zero-tolerance policy on racism, denouncing divisive rhetoric and social injustices amid a surge in hate crimes against Black Americans and Asian Americans, as well as mass shootings that rocked Black, Asian, and Latino communities within two weeks in May.
Executives at the ETF manager have likely evaded more blowback because First Trust is a private company, unlike some of its peers, Psarofagis, the Bloomberg analyst, said.
Investment firms that are privately held, like First Trust, "tend to be much more bold on what they are doing on social media," he said, adding that their corporate policy could be more lax. On the other hand, employees at a public money manager "could get fired for doing something like that," he said.
First Trust's CEO seems well aware of the buffer the company has as a private firm — and its appeal to advisor clients. In 2017, Bowen jokingly told an admiring crowd at the Fearless Investing Summit that his company was "privately held, so if you hate me, I could care less."
But one consultant interviewed by Insider said the tweets from First Trust executives were off-putting enough to be a liability.
Paul Olschwanger, the founder and chief inspiration officer of Wendell Rhoads Consulting, an organizational-consulting firm in the asset-management industry, said Wesbury's social-media exploits could eventually hurt the firm.
"It's almost like he's got carte blanche to say what he wants to say," Olschwanger said of the chief economist. "I don't know that Brian truly has been called out enough. It kind of becomes a moral thing. I don't care how good they are or how much they charge — is this a company I want to allocate my money to?"
High fees, controversial tweets
First Trust is in Wheaton, Illinois, an unlikely hotbed of ETF activity. Wheaton College, a Christian liberal-arts school in the town, has been dubbed the "Harvard of Christian Schools" and spawned some of the ETF industry's biggest names, including Bowen.
Other graduates of Wheaton College include John Southard, a PowerShares cofounder, and Robert D. Van Kampen, who founded mutual fund pioneer Van Kampen Funds. Bowen bought First Trust from the Van Kampen family in a management buyout in 2010.
Since then, the firm has employed a take-it-or-leave-it approach that seems to have worked. First Trust's ETFs have amassed $102.6 billion in net new money in the 10 years that ended in April, according to Morningstar. At that time, total assets under management in its ETF offerings had reached nearly $140 billion.
That's a small fraction of Vanguard's nearly $2 trillion in ETF assets. But the estimated annual revenues from First Trust's ETF lineup are just $90 million shy of Vanguard's roughly $1 billion, according to May 30 figures from the information provider VettaFi.
First Trust's largest ETF is its Value Line Dividend fund, which managed $12.3 billion in assets as of mid-May and returned 1.6% year over year. In the five- and 10-year period ended May 16, it returned 9.28% and 12.01%, respectively, according to Morningstar data. The fund outperformed nearly 70% of ETFs in its Morningstar category for the 10-year period, according to late-May figures.
The funds don't come cheap. Across First Trust's investment lineup of nearly 200 ETFs, the average net expense ratio , or fee, is 75 basis points (or 0.75%), according to May data provided by Morningstar. This is compared with a noticeably lower industry average as of 2020, the most recent figures available, when the average fee paid by mutual-fund and ETF investors was 41 basis points, Morningstar research showed.
But the firm has differentiated itself from its much-larger competitors through its product offerings and subadvisory relationships, enabling it to charge premium prices.
"They have unique strategies that you can't get elsewhere," said Dan Sondhelm, the CEO and founder of Sondhelm Partners, an asset-management consulting firm. "They are very innovative in terms of their product development."
Its private ownership and primary focus on marketing to financial advisors, rather than direct to retail or institutional investors, has also set it apart — and enabled it to avoid much public criticism for its executives' social-media activity, even in the era of environmental, social, and governance initiatives.
In his Fearless Investing Summit keynote, Bowen seemed to enjoy making light of his right-aligned political views.
"I'm politically to the right of Attila, so out here in left land, I'm an alien," Bowen said in a speech that occasionally poked fun at both parties. (In October 2020, Bowen donated $1 million to Preserve America, a super PAC launched to support Trump in the final months of his reelection campaign.)
'Someone has to beat the slaves'
While First Trust's chief economist, Wesbury, does not share his boss' alma mater — he received his bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Montana and his MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg Graduate School of Management — he has served as an adjunct professor of economics at Wheaton College. In 1995 and 1996, Wesbury also served as the chief economist for the US Congress Joint Economic Committee.
Wesbury, who joined First Trust in 2006, is a frequent speaker at industry events and conferences. He's also an avid tweeter who has attracted more than 46,000 followers.
Some of Wesbury's tweets center on more predictable material from an economist. But he also frequently wades into politics and current events.
In one recent tweet, he decried the leak of the draft opinion from the Supreme Court that would overturn Roe v. Wade.
"I think they should fire every clerk. Everyone. And I hope the FBI is at the court faster than they went to the NASCAR track," Wesbury wrote in an apparent reference to the FBI's investigation of the professional race-car driver Bubba Wallace's complaints that he found a noose in his garage.
But Wesbury didn't start there.
Two years earlier — as many CEOs and senior executives across Wall Street publicly condemned the murder of George Floyd and called for systemic change to address racial inequities in the country — Wesbury struck a starkly different tone.
"I have friends all over this country who are really scared by these riots," Wesbury wrote in a June 2020 tweet. "My hope is when this is over, they vote their bum leaders out. Just awful leadership, which hollowed out the police and then forced them to enforce COVID distancing, then have them stand down to THUGS."
The tweet drew some backlash, with peers in finance among those pushing back in Twitter replies.
—Brian Wesbury (@wesbury) June 2, 2020
One financial advisor responded: "This is SUCH a bad look for you and your company Brian. Coming on here and crying about we white people being 'scared' while Black people live it every day is just beyond comprehension."
Wesbury was not the only executive at First Trust to address Floyd's murder on Twitter. In September, one Twitter user published a poll asking, "What's the most accurate term for the hundreds of melees that followed George Floyd's death on 5/25/20 in which Black and/or Antifa mobs engaged in looting, arson, and/or violence?"
First Trust's deputy chief economist, Stein, responded "pogroms," a reference to organized killings targeting an ethnic or religious group and a term often associated with the Holocaust.
On May 26, when the New York Yankees' official Twitter account began posting facts about the effects of gun violence in lieu of game coverage after mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, Stein promptly shared his displeasure.
—Robert Stein (@BobStein_FT) May 27, 2022
Sharing one stat, the Yankees tweeted, "Every three hours, a young Black man dies by gun homicide," to which Stein quickly responded: "I like the Yankees better when they're winning World Series's, not lecturing me with factoids designed for middle schoolers."
After a reporter at Insider reached out to Stein about his comments on Twitter, he blocked them on the platform but did not respond to a request for comment.
Wesbury, who also shared on Twitter that he used the app Parler, wrote in late December that he had been temporarily suspended from Twitter, in part, for "questioning our government's response to Covid." Wesbury later clarified that he was suspended for 12 hours and called the temporary ban "a cultural merit badge."
Twitter did not respond to a request for comment for this story.
In a tweet in September, Wesbury compared the enforcement of COVID-19 vaccine mandates to slavery.
—Brian Wesbury (@wesbury) September 11, 2021
"Someone has to beat the slaves…unfortunately there seem to be a lot of people signing up for that job. Sickening," Wesbury wrote.
"Comparing a vaccine mandate to slavery is one of the worst takes I've heard yet," one Twitter user responded.
Sondhelm said that Wesbury "can be controversial" on social media and take "extreme positions."
"He gets a lot of attention, whether it's good or bad, in many cases," Sondhelm said. "Are there advisors and investors that are turned off and going to stop using them, or prospects that do due diligence and say they aren't going to work with these guys? Probably."
But Sondhelm also thinks the First Trust executive's social-media image may well result in First Trust "screening out those investors that would be offended and not want to work with them," he said.
In other words, for some clients, the comments may be a feature and not a bug.
"I'm sure the company is well aware of what he is doing," Sondhelm said.
"Will he cross the line? Probably," he added. "But First Trust seems to be OK with it. If First Trust wanted him to stop, they'd say, 'Stop.' And that's not what seems to be the case here."
Buffered by advisors
Psarofagis, the Bloomberg analyst, said the firm had gotten support from a loyal bench of advisors in the Midwest, where clients "tend to have a high opinion of First Trust."
"I always found that the advisors that were based in Chicago were much bigger users of First Trust products," Psarofagis said. "They are big on going to meetings and taking clients out. I would have thought that post-COVID, that would be a problem for them. It hasn't really impacted them. Their flows are still pretty consistent."
Because First Trust's distribution is primarily focused on wirehouses and individual registered investment advisors, those middlemen may also act as a buffer that keeps the First Trust executives' tweets from being noticed by end investors, Olschwanger of Wendell Rhoads Consulting said.
With advisors having to keep track of so many different products, strategies, and firms, individual Twitter profiles like Wesbury's may not even come up in due-diligence processes.
"Because it's an ETF, I'm not sure if the scrutiny is at that level," he said.
For companies with a more public-facing profile, the consequences for employees who create social-media firestorms have been clear. Olschwanger said it's not a foregone conclusion that executives' online comments would have no bearing on First Trust, whose end clients are ultimately investors.
"I don't think, a lot of times, people realize that they are one sentence away from losing all the things they built up. I'd like to think Brian and his team aren't immune to that," he said. "I think it can take a lifetime to build up trust and a short second to lose it. And once you lose it, it's hard to get it back."

After a year-long hiatus, the "King of Clay" reigns once more in Paris.
Rafael Nadal claimed a record-extending 14th title at the French Open as he defeated Norwegian Casper Ruud 6-3 6-3 6-0.
The Spaniard dominated Sunday's final and won 11 consecutive games across the second and third sets to wrap up a 22nd grand slam title -- two ahead of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic at the top of the men's all-time list.
The victory also means the 36-year-old Nadal, who won his first French Open title 17 years ago, becomes the oldest men's singles champion at Roland Garros.
"For me personally, it's very difficult to describe the feelings that I have," Nadal said in his on-court interview after the game. "It's something that I for sure never believed I'd be here at 36, being competitive again, playing in the most important court of my career one more final -- it means a lot to me."

It was a case of the master against the apprentice at Roland Garros on Sunday with Ruud, who has trained at the Rafael Nadal Academy in Mallorca since 2018 and admired Nadal when he progressed through the tennis ranks, appearing in his first grand slam final.
But the 23-year-old was outclassed by Nadal in what was the first time the two had faced each other.
Having led 3-1 at the start of the second set, Ruud saw the contest slip away from him and failed to register a game in the final set.
He later paid tribute to Nadal, saying in his on-court interview: "We all know what a champion you are and today I got to feel how it is to play against you in the final. It's not easy and I'm not the first victim -- I know that there have been many before."
Nadal was defeated by Djokovic in the semifinals of last year's French Open -- ending a run of four consecutive titles -- but defeated his rival in the quarters this year before a walkover against Alexander Zverev in the semis.
The win against Ruud backs up the Australian Open title he won in January, the first time in his career Nadal has won the first two grand slams in the calendar year.
He got off to a fast start in Sunday's final and took a commanding 4-1 lead in the first set after twice breaking Ruud's serve.
Nadal's tactic of targeting Ruud's backhand proved effective, but he wobbled at the start of the second set -- first as he squandered break points in the opening game, then when he was broken to love in the fourth game.
However, any momentum Ruud could gain was short-lived as his afternoon unraveled.
Nadal, who was hampered by an ongoing foot injury in the buildup to the tournament, appeared to move well around the court throughout the match and began to exert his dominance to take the next five games in the second set.
Then in the third set, which lasted just 30 minutes, Ruud hardly got a look-in.
A thumping, down-the-line backhand from Nadal completed the victory -- and an historic 14th title at Roland Garros.
But will it be his last?
"I don't know what can happen in the future, but I'm going to keep fighting to try to keep going," Nadal told the crowd on Court Philippe-Chatrier to rapturous applause.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- First Federal Bank, a Florida-based bank, is celebrating the opening of new Interactive Teller Machines (ITM) at both 9700 Touchton Rd in Jacksonville, FL and in the Wildlight community, located at 40 Floco Ave in Yulee, FL. These new ITMs provide convenient, full-service drive-thru banking for consumers and businesses in Jacksonville beginning June 3rd. Interactive Teller Machines allow customers to utilize a single terminal to conduct either routine ATM transactions 24/7, or teller-assisted transactions with live video interaction during normal banking hours. Customers can do cash and check deposits, cash withdrawals, deposits with cash back, loan payments and account inquiries at the ITM.
The Jacksonville ITM is located in a building First Federal Bank purchased several years ago as a mortgage banking center. The renovated offices serve as a central location for Jacksonville customers who seek a community-based mutual bank. An opening celebration is being held throughout the day on June 8th; local employees and customers are welcome.
"This location underscores First Federal's continued commitment to support and invest in the communities we serve," said John Medina, President and CEO.

Apple unveiled a new feature on Monday that will allow iPhone users to edit and un-send regrettable iMessages.
In the moments after an iMessage is sent, users will be able to click either the “edit” or “undo send” buttons to modify their messages, Apple revealed at the company’s annual WWDC conference on its campus in Cupertino, Calif.
The features will be made available with the new version of its iOS. Apple has yet to announce the release date for the new operating system, which will be called iOS 16.
Craig Federighi, an Apple executive, said the “edit” and “undo send” buttons were one of the “most requested features to Messages.”
Apple also unveiled an overhaul of the iPhone lockscreen during the conference. Users will now be able to create their own lockscreens with custom fonts and add widgets for everything from the weather to NBA game scores.
Notifications will now “roll in” through a compact bar at the bottom of the lockscreen rather than dominating the entire display, Apple said.
Apple shares were up 0.2% at $145.66 on Monday.
Apple also announced new privacy features as well as new upgrades to its Apple Pay system, including an “Apple Pay Later” system that will break up purchases into several interest-free payments.
The feature will compete with similar offerings from “buy now pay later” companies like Klarna, Affirm and Afterpay.
Elsewhere in the presentation, Apple unveiled a new version of “CarPlay,” the interactive display system that pairs with in-vehicle display systems. In addition to displaying traditional information like maps and music, the new version of CarPlay will display information including speed and car temperature.
Apple said a slate of carmakers including Ford, Mercedes and Porsche were “excited” about the feature — although Elon Musk’s Tesla was noticeably absent from the list. | https://nypost.com/2022/06/06/apple-adds-edit-and-undo-send-features-to-imessage/ | 2022-06-06T18:37:32Z | https://nypost.com/2022/06/06/apple-adds-edit-and-undo-send-features-to-imessage/ | false | 2 |
By KIM TONG-HYUNG
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The U.S. and South Korean militaries launched eight ballistic missiles into the sea Monday in a show of force matching a North Korean missile display a day earlier that extended a provocative streak in weapons demonstrations.
The allies’ live-fire exercise involved eight Army Tactical Missile System missiles — one American and seven South Korean — that were fired into South Korea’s eastern waters across 10 minutes following notifications for air and maritime safety, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff and U.S. Forces Korea.
The tit-for-tat missile launches were aimed at demonstrating the ability to respond swiftly and accurately to North Korean attacks, the South Korean military said.
The South’s military on Sunday detected North Korea firing eight short-range missiles over 35 minutes from at least four different locations, including from western and eastern coastal areas and two inland areas north of and near the capital, Pyongyang, in what appeared to be a single-day record for the country’s ballistic launches.
It was North Korea’s 18th round of missile tests in 2022 alone — a streak that included the country’s first launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles in nearly five years. South Korean and U.S. officials also say North Korea is preparing to conduct its first nuclear test since September 2017 as leader Kim Jong Un pushes a brinkmanship aimed at cementing the North’s status as a nuclear power and negotiating economic and security concessions from a position of strength.
U.S. and South Korean forces conducted a similar live-fire exercise following North Korea’s previous ballistic launches on May 25, which South Korea’s military said involved an ICBM flown on medium-range trajectory and two short-range weapons. Those tests came as Biden wrapped up his trip to South Korea and Japan, where he reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to defend both allies.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol during a speech marking the country’s Memorial Day on Monday said his government would pursue “fundamental and practical security capabilities” to counter North Korea’s growing nuclear weapons and missile threat.
“North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missile programs have grown to a point where they are not only a threat to the Korean Peninsula, but to Northeast Asia and world peace,” Yoon said at the National Cemetery in Seoul, saying his government would “sternly respond to any kind of North Korean provocation.”
Yoon, a conservative who took office in May, has vowed to strengthen the South’s defense in conjunction with its alliance with the United States. His goals include enhancing missile strike and interception capabilities and resuming large-scale military exercises with the United States, which were suspended or downsized in recent years to create space for diplomacy with Pyongyang or because of COVID-19.
Yoon’s dovish predecessor, Moon Jae-in, who had staked his five-year term on inter-Korean engagement, refrained from missile counter-drills after North Korea resumed ballistic missile tests in 2019 as its diplomacy with the United States fizzled.
North Korean state media have yet to comment on Sunday’s launches. They came after the U.S. aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan concluded a three-day naval drill with South Korea in the Philippine Sea on Saturday, apparently their first joint drill involving a carrier since November 2017, as the countries move to upgrade their defense exercises in the face of North Korean threats.
North Korea has long condemned the allies’ combined military exercises as invasion rehearsals and often countered with its own missile drills, including short-range launches in 2016 and 2017 that simulated nuclear attacks on South Korean ports and U.S. military facilities in Japan.
Hours after the North Korean launches, Japan and the United States conducted a joint ballistic missile exercise aimed at showing their “rapid response capability” and “strong determination” to counter threats, Japan’s Defense Ministry said.
The United States has vowed to push for additional international sanctions if North Korea conducts a nuclear test, but the prospects for meaningful new punitive measures are dim with the U.N. Security Council’s permanent members divided.
Russia and China vetoed a U.S.-sponsored resolution that would have imposed additional sanctions on North Korea over its latest ballistic tests on May 25, insisting that Washington should instead focus on reviving negotiations with Pyongyang.
Addressing the brewing animosity, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian called for related nations to “maintain calm and exercise restraint, and avoid any actions that may aggravate tensions.”
Nuclear talks between Washington and Pyongyang have stalled since 2019 over disagreements in exchanging the release of crippling U.S.-led sanctions for the North’s disarmament steps.
Despite facing harsh challenges at home, including a decaying economy and a COVID-19 outbreak, Kim has shown no willingness to fully surrender an arsenal he sees as his strongest guarantee of survival.
His government has so far rejected the Biden administration’s offers for open-ended talks and is clearly intent on converting the dormant denuclearization negotiations into a mutual arms-reduction process, experts say.

NEW YORK (AP) — The projected field for the Belmont Stakes is down to eight after two withdrawals the day before the post position draw.
Neither Ethereal Road nor Howling Time will run in the third leg of the Triple Crown on Saturday, which is set to feature Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike.
Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas on Monday said Ethereal Road has a quarter crack in one of his hooves, which will keep him out of the Belmont. Ethereal Road, the horse whose withdrawal from the Derby paved the way for Rich Strike’s upset victory at odds of 80-1, won the $100,000 Sir Barton Stakes on the Preakness undercard May 21.
Instead of going to Belmont Park, Howling Time will remain in Louisville and run in a race at Churchill Downs on Saturday, according to trainer Dale Romans.
Rich Strike did not run in the Preakness two weeks after the Derby, with owner Rick Dawson citing the need for extra rest.
The plan was to target the 1½-mile Belmont, and Rich Strike has been at the track in New York since last week.
Preakness third-place finisher Creative Minister and fifth-place finisher Skippylongstocking are still set to run in the Belmont. The trainer and owner of Preakness winner Early Voting never considered the Belmont as the colt's next race.
Back from the Derby along with Rich Strike are Mo Donegal, who finished fifth, and Barber Road, who was sixth. No horses are set to run in all three Triple Crown races this year.
Rounding out the expected field is Todd Pletcher-trained filly Nest, who was the Kentucky Oaks favorite and finished second behind Secret Oath; and We the People and Golden Glider, who ran first and second in the Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont Park on June 14.

Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay has a magnetic personality, a breath of fresh air that his Philadelphia Eagles teammates love to breathe in. Rookie Jordan Davis didn’t flinch when asked to name the funniest guy in the locker room. Slay, all day. He lightens the mood and keeps things moving.
“Slay, man, I’d say Slay. He’s a one-of-a-kind personality,” Davis told reporters on June 3. “He’s a guy you want to be around. He’s always keeping things light. You know, football is a hard game, it’s a hard sport, but just having those people that can keep things light, keep things moving, and keeping your mind off the football and the grind is really important.”
That’s not to say Slay isn’t serious out there. He is constantly trying to improve his own game while mentoring the younger guys and challenging his peers. That includes talking a little trash to the receivers lining up across from him during intrasquad 7-on-7 drills at OTAs. Friendly trash, of course.
“Every day is a rivalry. I’m out here trying to whoop their a** every day,” Slay told reporters on June 3. “But like I said it’s a battle, that’s why we practice, to get each other better.”

Bet On It: Players, Coaches Get Competitive
The NFL isn’t too keen on gambling, at least when money is involved. The league suspended Calvin Ridley for the 2022 season after he was caught betting on a game. That’s a whole can of worms.
Meanwhile, Slay revealed that there has been some legal wagering going on at OTAs between players and coaches. No money. They are betting on physical challenges, like pushups and sprints.
“We bet with the coaches against each other,” Slay said. “We bet sometimes, pushups on command, whatever coach doesn’t want to do, we just bet on it all the time to make it competitive. We like the pressure.
“It builds chemistry and that’s one thing coach [Nick Sirianni] is about. He loves us having chemistry. He loves us being close together, being friends, being more than friends outside of football so that’s what we’re doing, building that great relationship that coach be doing.”
Slay Not Giving Up on Jalen Reagor
While fans and media continue to beat Jalen Reagor up for failing to live up to expectations, his teammates have the young receiver’s back. The additions of veterans A.J. Brown and Zach Pascal should provide extra sounding boards. Remember, Reagor just turned 23 years old on January 2.
“He’s just been working consistently hard,” Slay said. “He’s been grinding. He’s still young. Reag is only 23 years old and going into his third year in the league, that was my second year in the league — so he’s still learning, he got high hopes. He’s a good kid, he works hard, and we just got to get him going. That’s it. We all got to be behind him, one train.”
It should be noted that Reagor recently buried one of his best friends, Jeff Gladney. He served as a pallbearer at the funeral and posted an emotional Twitter tribute to his former college teammate and roommate. The kid has been through a lot. Let’s cut him some slack. | https://heavy.com/sports/philadelphia-eagles/darius-slay-whoop-their-ass/ | 2022-06-06T18:40:27Z | https://heavy.com/sports/philadelphia-eagles/darius-slay-whoop-their-ass/ | false | 1 |

During a friendly soccer match against Uruguay on Sunday, the U.S. men's national team wore orange armbands to raise awareness of gun violence and call on elected leaders in the United States to pass further restrictions on gun ownership.
In addition to the on-field display, the team also sent a letter to all members of Congress urging them to support stricter gun legislation in the aftermath of several recent mass shootings across the country.
"Our ability to affect change is limited, but yours is not," the letter from the players and staff reads. "You could vote this week to address gun violence in America, and in fact, you will be given that opportunity."
The House is expected to take up a package of gun bills in the coming days, and a bipartisan group of Senators is also negotiating over potential firearms legislation in that chamber.
The team's demonstration came during a particularly violent weekend. At least 15 people were killed and another 60 were wounded by gunfire in eight states, which followed closely behind two recent mass shootings in Buffalo, N.Y., and Uvalde, Texas.
Players wore orange as part of a national effort championed by the group Everytown for Gun Safety to raise awareness of the ongoing gun violence across the U.S. The vibrant color is a nod to the orange apparel worn by hunters to keep themselves and others safe in the woods.
"Everyone's just tired of it. And it's good that this group is asking for action and asking people to make change," U.S. men's national team head coach Gregg Berhalter said.
"It's not only about the mass shootings that you see every day," he added, "but it's just about the needless gun violence and the kids and the people that are dying every day."

The bodies of an elderly couple was found in South Kolkata on Monday evening, police said.
The couple -- identified as businessman Ashok Shah and his wife Rashmita Shah – was found dead at the entrance of their flat on Harish Mukherjee Road near the locality of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's residence, they said.
A huge team of Kolkata Police has been posted in the area as Commissioner of Police Vineet Goyal reached the spot.
''Both the bodies bear several injuries. It seems jewellery is missing from the woman's body. Probably they were murdered when they resisted a burglary attempt. An investigation has been initiated,'' a senior police officer said.
Sniffer dogs have been deployed to trace the accused.
City Mayor Firhad Hakim and local councillor Kajari Banerjee visited the spot.

THESE past four days have been a wonderful celebration of our wonderful Queen, with memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime.
The Platinum Jubilee showed the absolute best of Britain — the likes of which we may never see again.
And what a grand finale, seeing Her Majesty on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with Prince Charles and Camilla, Prince William, Kate and their children.
It was the icing on the cake of an extraordinary few days.
I was there for the Silver and Golden Jubilees which were fantastic events, but out of the three, this one has gone above and beyond.
We’ve had so many fantastic moments over this long weekend, starting with four-year-old Prince Louis acting up at the Trooping of the Colour and nearly stealing the show.
We’ve had every kind of celebration, from the ceremonial to the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s, that phenomenal concert outside Buckingham Palace to the people’s procession with that fantastic Jubilee Pageant yesterday. And we even had Paddington Bear.
Whoever came up with the idea of Paddington having tea with the Queen is a genius. She surprised us in 2012 with a sketch with James Bond for the London Olympics opening ceremony and she did it again with this brilliant way of introducing the concert to the world.
For decades, royal experts have wondered what she keeps in her handbag and now we know — it’s marmalade sandwiches!
What a great sense of humour Her Majesty has, and didn’t she look absolutely beautiful? The concert on Saturday night, with the light display on the Palace and the graphics in the sky, was spectacular.
Most read in Fabulous
And Diana Ross closing the show was pure magic.
On Sunday, during that unforgettable Pageant, we had everything from “Dames in Jags” to those who worked on the frontline during the pandemic.
We’ve seen tributes pouring in from world leaders like US President Joe Biden and France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, who have such high regard for our monarch.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama talked of the Queen’s warmth and extraordinary kindness while her husband Barack said her life has been a “gift for the world”.
We hoped Prince Harry and Meghan wouldn’t overshadow events, and they didn’t. In fact, we barely saw them.
It was disappointing the Queen didn’t make it to St Paul’s, and the Epsom Derby wasn’t the same without her.
But we had her in our hearts and minds throughout.
The Jubilee showed just how much she is loved and admired. So thank you ma’am, for your 70 years of service and for a weekend — and a monarch — we will never forget. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/fabulous/8969891/queen-jubilee-best-of-britain-arthur-edwards/ | 2022-06-06T18:42:26Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/fabulous/8969891/queen-jubilee-best-of-britain-arthur-edwards/ | false | 4 |

With the back-to-back punch of COVID-19 and Hurricane Ida, chef Jarred I. Zeringue decided it was time to shake things up — and finally get out the cookbook he had been working on for several years.
Zeringue’s “Southern and Smoked: Cajun Cooking through the Seasons” was released last month by Pelican Publishing.
He said the cookbook is coming out at the perfect time — he’s just getting his restaurant, Wayne Jacob’s Smokehouse and Restaurant, in LaPlace, back up and running after the building was devastated by Ida.
“We started serving plate lunches again in April,” Zeringue said. “A lot of locals come in and say, ‘I wish my house was this far along. I’m so glad you’re doing home cooking. I haven’t had home cooking since August because I still don’t have a kitchen.’ It’s humbling.”
Wayne Jacob’s Smokehouse, a long-standing stop even before there was an Andouille Trail, is a 72-year-old business in St. John the Baptist Parish.
Prior to COVID-19, Zeringue had other restaurants in the French Quarter, including Eat New Orleans, which closed during the pandemic. The lack of tourists forced Zeringue, a Vacherie native, to focus his energies closer to his roots and create the comfort food he believed people were craving.
Zeringue’s family has lived, worked and farmed in the River Parishes and nearby New Orleans since the early 1700s.
His new cookbook also celebrates those same roots. With beautiful images (taken by Denny Culbert and Joseph Vidrine) on nearly every page, the 208-page full-color cookbook has the feel of a coffee-table book and features more than 80 recipes.
“I wrote the cookbook in seasons — winter, spring, summer and fall,” Zeringue said. “I tried to highlight seasonal dishes and why we eat what we eat when we eat it. I explain the traditions of why we eat gumbo at Christmas and crawfish for Easter for people who may not be from here or haven’t put two and two together.”
But Zeringue goes beyond the most obvious of Louisiana cuisine.
Whether it’s deer hunting, picking blackberries on the side of the road or the bounty of Creole tomatoes in late spring and early summer, he takes a deep dive at what’s available in the River Parishes that stretch along the levees of the Mississippi between Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
“Beyond looking at just when these things are available, I also worked to give you something to do with the ingredients beyond what you’ve always done,” he said.
Take for example the guy who sells Creole tomatoes across the street from Zeringue’s smoke shop and restaurant.
“I give a few alternative recipes on what to do with okra and Creole tomatoes, and other ingredients as well,” he said.
Additionally, he looks at the diverse mix of people beyond Cajun and Creole, including the German, French, Spanish, African and Native Americans, whose heritages have mingled in the heat and humidity of Louisiana for more than 300 years to produce deliciousness from the largesse that the land and water offers.
In doing so, he draws on his own family history and its traditions, including boucheries.
“My cousin came and brought pictures of my family at a boucherie in 1950. My grandparents were on a date that day,” he said. “I had never seen those pictures before. Creating this cookbook helped me to research where my own family came from and when they arrived here.”
The cookbook is priced at $35 and is widely available.

Inflo, the reigning BRIT Awards Producer Of The Year, has been absolutely on fire as of late with his work as the creative force behind Sault, producing tracks for Adele’s latest album, 30, and for British R&B singer Cleo Sol. But as the London producer (whose real name is Dean Josiah Cover) sees his success skyrocketing, he has his mind on protecting the interests of aspiring creatives who are looking to follow in his footsteps.
In a recent Instagram post, Inflo indicated that he and Nathan Burke, his partner on the Forever Living Originals label (that releases Sault and Cleo Sol’s music), are trying to establish a base rate and royalty structure for up and coming producers in the UK. Inflo said that they’ve been engaged in talks with music industry leaders in hopes of changing the paradigm.
“This will ensure young producers are protected on any major label releases and have a code of conduct to go by,” he said.
He acknowledged the significance of being the first Black person since 1977 to win the Producer Of The Year award at the BRITs and notes, “Most young producers, especially young black producers, come into the business really pure, with friends as management and no real guidance, protection or understanding.”
You can read the entire statement from Inflo below and power to him and this effort.
“Nathan & I have been on a mission to introduce a base rate and royalty for young producers in the UK.
This will ensure young producers are protected on any major label releases and have a code of conduct to go by.
We’ve been having conversations with producers, artists, labels and lawyers to see what that rate can be. Everyone agrees no young or upcoming producers should be exploited, and the artist shouldn’t have to give up any further royalty share than they already have been.
Most young producers, especially young black producers, come into the business really pure, with friends as management and no real guidance, protection or understanding. They’re often eager for placements and would sign without fully understanding contracts, in desperation of life-changing opportunities.
I honestly feel most of us have come into the music business to make it a better place creatively and economically, for the opportunity to leave a legacy that our children and children’s children can be proud of.
I didn’t want to speak on my award without any real progress being made, but we are now at the halfway point and I wanted to acknowledge the moment.
Thanks to the Brits for acknowledging me as Producer of the Year. I feel very humbled and grateful to be the first black producer to win in this category since 1977. Big up all the Black British producers before I & I and killing it right now everywhere, so inspiring!!
Love to Nathan & my Forever Living Originals team for supporting me in every way.
Love to Mummy, DD Cleo & Little Man
Love to God.” | https://uproxx.com/music/inflo-producers-royalty/ | 2022-06-06T18:44:59Z | https://uproxx.com/music/inflo-producers-royalty/ | true | 1 |

RICHMOND, Calif. (WXIN) — An organic tea has been recalled over its possible connection to strawberries potentially contaminated with Hepatitis A.
The Food and Drug Administration announced the company Urban Remedy is voluntarily recalling Organic Revitalizing Tea Tonic Strawberry Hibiscus Rose.
According to Urban Remedy, it contracts with Youngstown Grape Distributors Inc. to co-manufacture the organic tea. Youngstown may have used the FreshKampo organic strawberries that are believed to be the source of the Hepatitis A outbreak that’s under investigation by the FDA, according to Thrillist.
“Currently, the potentially affected FreshKampo and HEB products are past shelf life. People who purchased FreshKampo and HEB fresh organic strawberries between March 5, 2022, and April 25, 2022, and then froze those strawberries for later consumption should not eat them,” the FDA said in late May.
The organic tea was sold in 12 oz. bottles in stores in 23 states — Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming — between May 17 and May 29 of this year.
Urban Remedy says anyone who bought the product should not drink it. If you do consume the tea, the company recommends you “consult your health care provider or local health department to determine if a vaccination is appropriate.”
No illnesses have been reported in connection with the tea to date.
Hepatitis A is a contagious virus that can cause liver disease, according to the FDA. In rare cases, it can progress to liver failure.
According to the FDA, illness usually occurs within 15 to 50 days after eating or drinking contaminated food or water. Symptoms of Hepatitis A infection include fever, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, jaundice, dark urine or pale stool. In some instances, particularly in children under the age of six, Hepatitis A infection may be asymptomatic. | https://wgno.com/news/nmw/strawberry-tea-possibly-linked-to-hepatitis-a-outbreak-recalled/ | 2022-06-06T18:51:15Z | https://wgno.com/news/nmw/strawberry-tea-possibly-linked-to-hepatitis-a-outbreak-recalled/ | true | 18 |
Minister would back legal challenge to council’s call on Northbridge drop-in centre
Homelessness Minister John Carey says he would support a legal challenge by a not-for-profit community services organisation if it sought to appeal a decision by the Perth council to block the relocation of a drop-in centre in Northbridge.
The move by the City of Perth council to stop the relocation of Ruah Community Services’ drop-in centre to a location 200 metres from its current home has raised questions about where homelessness program providers can be based in the CBD under the council’s planning rules.
Carey has accused the city of talking the talk but not walking the walk on addressing homelessness just two years on from a local government election where the issue was one of the most prominent talking points.
Ruah runs one of two drop-in centres in the Perth CBD for people experiencing homelessness – there are an estimated 700 in the greater metropolitan area – that provides a place to rest during weekdays as well as drug and alcohol, mental, legal and health services. It works with about 120 clients each day.
The organisation wants to move its drop-in centre from Shenton Street, across the road from Russell Square, which is used for the annual Fringe Festival, to James Street, next to the Northbridge police station, to make way for a $15 million seven-storey facility for women and children escaping family and domestic violence it will also run.
The new women and children’s facility is due to start construction in the next few months but now Ruah, which also runs the City of Perth-funded women’s overnight safe space, is uncertain over where it will locate its drop-in services, which have been at Shenton Street since 1959.
Last week, the City of Perth council voted unanimously to knock back Ruah’s proposed move to James Street, where it had found a willing landlord to give it a lease, because of resident and business owner concerns about personal safety and antisocial behaviour.
Three councillors elevated the application by Ruah to use a James Street site as a community centre, which was filed in February and set to be green-lit by the administration without elected member input, to be decided at a council meeting after 64 objections were registered.
This was in contrast to the council’s administration, which believed there was no appropriate planning reason for refusing the application given community centres are encouraged under the local government’s planning framework for the Northbridge area.
Several objectors and councillors have argued there should be a different interpretation of Northbridge’s planning framework.
At an earlier council meeting, a representative for several neighbouring properties, Nik Hidding, said the relocation of the drop-in centre had one of his clients reconsidering the development of a 16-level mixed-use building a few doors down.
He said under the local planning scheme a community centre was supposed to be for the “primary” benefit of people who lived or worked in the surrounding locality.
“Clearly the services provided by the proposed operator are not for the benefit of those who live and work in the locality but in fact for those who do not live and work in the locality because they are in fact homeless or seeking accommodation,” Hidding said.
Rosanna Ciccotosto owns two commercial units near the proposed drop-in centre and in the same meeting said her tenants had told her they would not renew their lease if the Ruah facility opened across the road.
“What is this all going to mean for the future of Northbridge?” she said.
“Just because parts of Northbridge looks like a ghetto, just because businesses are leaving in droves because they have lost their appetite in dealing with lawlessness and loitering, should we just allow Ruah to move into James Street because it’s already around the corner, regardless of the negative impact it already presents?
“Or do we actually try to make Northbridge the entertainment district it used to be and can again?”
Several objectors believed it was the existence of the homelessness services that meant people sleeping rough gravitated to the west end of Northbridge and resulted in existing anti-social issues.
There were also concerns about where people who used the services went when the Ruah centre was not operating, outside the hours of 8.30am to 2pm.
Ruah chief executive Debra Zanella said it was incorrect and misleading to suggest people experiencing homelessness were coming into the city just because of its service centre.
Carey said he was deeply concerned and the idea homeless services drew in homeless people, rather than simply service an existing cohort, was rubbish.
“It’s not shown by any evidence around the world, whether or not you have homeless services in the city, you will still have rough sleepers,” he said.
“Rough sleepers go to where there is activity and people because there is safety in numbers.”
But Perth councillor Brent Fleeton is not convinced by the argument put forward by service providers and put up the motion to block Ruah’s relocation.
He told last week’s council meeting councillors should not blindly accept interpretations or advice from the administration as black-and-white when staff suggested there were no grounds to block the move.
“It’s our job to ask questions. There are gray areas in planning, that’s why our policy allows us to do what we’re doing,” Fleeton said.
“We’ve heard loud and clear from investors, residents, business owners and they’re saying ... that approving this centre is not adding to the attractiveness of this destination, in fact it’s taking from it.
“We’ve also heard from female business owners that safety is a real concern.”
Fleeton’s motion relied on the state government regulations for local government planning schemes which has a clause relating to issue councils can take into consideration when making a decision on development approvals.
Whereas the administration says there were no reasons under the clause which could provide a reasonable basis to refuse the relocation, Fleeton said the Ruah centre proposal did not address community concerns, would impact amenity and was inconsistent with the aims of the Northbridge precinct – to be a diverse inner-city precinct that was an attractive destination for tourists.
City of Perth planning and economic development general manager Dale Page told the council perceptions of anti-social behaviour would be difficult to justify in terms of planning refusal.
Minister scathing of council position
Carey says he thinks the decision by the council will end up costing ratepayers if Ruah appealed the decision at the State Administrative Tribunal.
“Council’s position is already weak because they’ve gone against the planning advice of their own administration,” he said.
“If the matter does become before SAT I will be very pleased as the local member and minister for homelessness to provide support.
“If you can’t put a homelessness hub within 100 metres of a major police station ... where do you put it?”
The minister said the local government should have done a better job getting stakeholders around the table early for what was going to be a contentious issue.
“The City of Perth has to get real, it has a moral responsibility as the planning authority and capital city to step up and resolve this issue,” Carey said.
There had been a level of engagement between Ruah and the local government around appropriate locations for the drop-in centre, but the not-for-profit decided to pursue the James Street property after an extensive search in the suburb for suitable facilities came up short.
Zanella will meet with the City of Perth administration this week to restart talks on alternative solutions, even though this was not mandated by the council in its decision so the local government is not required to achieve a resolution.
She did not rule out going to the SAT in the near future, and said regardless of the outcome the drop-in centre services would not stop even though its current home had to close for the women’s centre construction in July or August.
“That effectively is my question, if not here, where else and will you [City of Perth] help us find one?” Zanella said.
“Or are you saying to us there is nowhere in the city you would approve?”

ŁASK AIR BASE, Poland - U.S. Marines and KC-130J Super Hercules from Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron (VMGR) 252, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW), deployed to Łask Air Base, Poland, under the command of U.S. Air Forces in Europe and as a key enabler to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 312.
VMFA-312, also a subordinate unit to 2nd MAW, deployed to Łask Air Base to conduct NATO’s enhanced Air Policing (eAP) mission. The goal of NATO eAP is to demonstrate the collective resolve of Allies, demonstrate the defensive nature of NATO, and deter aggression or the threat of aggression in the region. VMFA-312’s F/A-18 Hornets are flying patrols over Polish airspace as part of a joint effort to increase the readiness and responsiveness of NATO.
The KC-130J Super Hercules from VMGR-252 increase the distance and endurance of VMFA-312 and Allied air power. The KC-130J provides aerial refueling, allowing the F/A-18s to fly for longer durations without having to land to refuel. The KC-130Js are an organic asset to the Marine Corps and a vital component of VMFA-312’s success in NATO eAP.
In addition to its aerial-refueling capabilities, the KC-130J provides air assault transport of troops, equipment and supplies. This capability contributed greatly to the rapid and expeditious redeployment of 2nd MAW units from Norway, where they participated in Exercise Cold Response 2022, to Poland’s Łask Air Base and Lithuania’s Šiauliai Air Base.
Since the start of Exercise Cold Response 2022, VMGR-252 transported 623 passengers, approximately 400,000 pounds of cargo, and provided approximately 1,130,000 pounds of fuel in the air to multiple types of aircraft. The squadron’s flown 460.7 hours and 169 sorties within 71 days. The squadron has conducted continuous operations, alternating between aerial refueling and logistical support in Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Germany, Lithuania, and Poland. VMGR-252 demonstrates 2nd MAW’s expeditionary nature and alignment with the commandant’s force design initiatives to be capable of supporting joint and Allied operations.
Multiple elements within 2nd MAW rapidly repositioned from the Arctic to Eastern Europe to reinforce the Allied defensive posture and to support NATO eAP. The deployments have been conducted in coordination with host nations and military authorities, and although temporary in nature, they are prudent measures to increase readiness and enhance Eastern Europe’s collective defense. The deployment of U.S. Marine Corps forces is evidence of the Marine Corps’ readiness and strong commitment to NATO Allies and partners.

A Step in the ‘Right Direction’: Latinos Make Up Record Share of New US Priests
Among the priests ordained this year in the U.S., 22% are Latinos, though the figure is still considerably lower than the overall proportion of U.S. Catholics who are Latino.
Among the men being ordained to the priesthood this year in the United States, 22% are Latinos — the highest recorded percentage of any given year.
That’s according to a survey of this year’s ordination class conducted by Georgetown’s Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate, or CARA. The organization has conducted this study every year for the past 20 years. Last year, 16% of new priests in the U.S. were Latinos, and 10 years ago the figure was 15% of the total.
The jump to 22% is not indicative of a statistically significant, sustained increase, reports CARA, but it represents a positive and symbolic milestone, given the large population of Hispanics in the U.S. — and the historic lack of representation of Latinos in the U.S. presbyterate.
According to professor Hosffman Ospino of Boston College, a professor of religious education and expert on Hispanic Catholics in America, only 8.5% of all priests serving in the United States are Latino. Other recent reports have pegged that figure as low as 3%. Yet the group makes up as much as 45% of the country’s present-day Catholic population.
Ospino said that figure jumps to 60% when considering Catholics in the U.S. who are under 18 years of age, which makes the corresponding uptick in the percentage of Latinos among this year’s ordination class welcome news.
“There is a growing group of Hispanic seminarians, and it is yielding more priests,” Ospino told the Register. “This is a trend in the right direction.”
Homegrown and Foreign-Born
According to the CARA survey, Latinos among this year’s priestly ordination class come from a variety of backgrounds.
“This 22% number is a mix of homegrown and foreign-born vocations,” said Jesuit Father Thomas Gaunt, executive director of CARA. “The foreign-born group [includes] men who immigrated with their families as children up to those who came to the U.S. as adults to be in seminary.”
This diversity is well illustrated in the six Latinos who, along with two other men, were ordained to the priesthood in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles on June 4. Four of the new Latino priests were born and grew up in the United States, while the two others were born in Mexico.
The number of foreign-born Latinos among the ordination class is also part of another trend revealed in the CARA study: 26% of all men ordained to the priesthood in the U.S. this year are foreign-born, with countries like Mexico, Brazil and Colombia among the most common places of birth, but also countries such as Vietnam and India.
According to Ospino, the profile of Latinos who enter seminary in the U.S. is different from that of newer immigrants.
“Immigrants tend to be older, while those Latinos who enter seminary are in their 20s and 30s,” said Ospino. He added that while most newly immigrated Latinos tend not to have legal status in the U.S., Latinos who enter seminary are not only legal U.S. citizens or immigrants with visas, but they also have a stronger educational background.
In some dioceses where the bishop or vocation director has a strong connection with a counterpart in Latin America, it’s also a common practice to identify Latino seminarians from abroad and invite them to serve in the U.S. Their seminary formation is then sponsored by the inviting diocese, and these men serve as a diocesan priest after ordination.
The rise in Latino priestly vocations in the U.S. may also be connected to the continued growth of U.S.-born Latinos, who are sometimes generations removed from immigration.
“Though many people think of Latinos as being immigrants, only 26% of Latinos in the U.S. are foreign-born. [Only] 20% of Latinos are not fluent in English,” said Ospino, adding that 94% of Hispanics under 18 in the U.S. are natural-born citizens and speak English.
Encouraging Latino Vocations
Ospino said that Catholic bishops across the U.S. are concerned with fostering more Latinos vocations to the priesthood.
“One way to do that is to have Latino priests working in vocations offices,” he said. “Another way is to increase the number of Hispanic children going to Catholic schools. This helps people grow up Catholic and discern a path to the priesthood.”
A CARA study from several years ago looked at ways in which pastoral outreach was done for specific groups, including Hispanics.
“Out of 17,000 parishes, 6,000 parishes had pastoral outreach to Spanish-speaking populations,” said Father Gaunt. Despite the fact that the majority of young Latinos in the U.S. speak English, Spanish-language Masses may also be an important part of fostering Latino vocations to the priesthood, given the familial and cultural significance these liturgies have even for non-immigrant Latinos.
Ospino also believes that all archbishops and cardinals should be fluent in Spanish in light of the fact that most major cities in the U.S. have significant Hispanic populations.
Anecdotally, immigrant families tend to have very strong familial and cultural religiosity.
“The practical elements of the faith are reinforced in the family,” said Father Gaunt. “This is a contribution to the American Church.”
Conversely, non-immigrant Catholics tend not to have a strong Catholic culture in the home.
“A grandmother living at home and blessing the children in the morning tends to happen in the immigrant house,” said Father Gaunt.
During the height of COVID lockdowns, when people could not go to Mass, Catholic devotions kept the faith growing in immigrant families, he added.
Cultural and Legal Challenges
Half of the 1.3 million Catholics in the Diocese of Orange, California, are Latino. While forming priests who can serve this population is important — about 70% of diocesan parishes offer a Spanish Mass — the proportion of recently ordained priests who are Latino is still considerably lower than the overall representation of Latinos in the diocese.
“We have had 41 men ordained in the last 10 years; 13 to 15 of them can speak or read in Spanish,” said Father Brandon Dang. “Five of these men are of Latino descent, and they were either born here or born abroad.”
Father Dang believes that the reason that vocations are not higher among Latinos has to do with family culture.
“We see this across all families, Anglos as well as Latinos. Families will say to focus on the career or focus on having a family. Poverty can be another factor, whereby families need their sons to help them out financially,” said Father Dang.
While a strong family culture means that Latino families can be strongly practicing the Catholic faith, it may not translate into vocations because of the emphasis on getting married and having children.
Bishop Luis Zarama of the Diocese of Raleigh, North Carolina, is the first Colombian-born bishop in the U.S. He arrived in the U.S. in 1991 and was ordained to the priesthood in the Archdiocese of Atlanta.
Despite half of the diocese’s 500,000 Catholics being Latino, only a quarter of Raleigh’s current seminarians are from a Latino background.
Legal status is a significant factor holding back more Latino vocations in the diocese.
“When it comes to promoting vocations among Latinos, one of the first questions that need to be asked is: ‘Are you legal?’ If someone is illegal, they cannot go to seminary,” said Bishop Zamara. “Most of the 250,000 Latino Catholics in Raleigh are illegal.”
The process for becoming legal is very long and complicated. If someone is over the age of 18, they need to go back to their country of origin and apply for legal residency in the U.S. from there.
“But if they leave the country, it cannot be assured that they will be able to come back,” the bishop said.
Bishop Zamara also suggested that there can be some cultural challenges in fostering vocations among young Latino men.
“Sometimes they think that seminary/the priesthood is an easy path, but then they see that it is a difficult path, and they quit,” said Bishop Zamara.
In some cases, Latinos from other countries contact dioceses in the U.S. to inquire about entering seminary. Other times, they have already been living in the U.S. for a few years. Most dioceses make an effort to get homegrown vocations because they do not want to “poach” vocations from other countries.
“It is really case by case. Some men call us from out of the blue from a Latin American country,” said Father Dang “Sometimes they know a priest from the diocese, and there is a connection. Other times, it is random. Some men in seminary are being sponsored by a diocese in Latin America. We had one gentleman from Mexico who went to seminary there, left and then felt the tug to come back to seminary in the U.S. He had family connections in the Diocese of Orange.”
The Diocese of Orange has a policy that anyone who enters seminary for the diocese must have a family or friend connection.
In addition to other factors, COVID has hurt vocations across the board for all ethnic groups.
“We could not interact with candidates. It could only be done by Zoom, which is not the best way. In some ways, COVID slowed down the process. Now we need to catch up,” said Bishop Zamara.
The real challenge is to increase vocation numbers across the board, not just for Latinos, but to serve the entire Church.
As Bishop Zamara said, “We need men who are open to serve everyone in the Church — Anglos, Hispanics — and in any language.”

The Fed Has A 'Goldilocks' Problem With Inflation
Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog,
New Prosperity Magazine: Goldilocks and the Crack-Up Boom
For everyone left out of the Fed's hyper-financialized, hyper-globalized, hyper-inequality "new prosperity," there's always the bargain salmon casserole.
The latest issue of New Prosperity Magazine addresses the Fed's "Goldilocks" inflation and the coming crack-up boom. New Prosperity Magazine's maiden issue was published back in 2009, shortly after the Global Financial Meltdown had temporarily disrupted the trajectory of prosperity. (The May 2009 cover is below.)
Interestingly, the magazine updated a favorite cost-saving recipe for salmon casserole from the May 2009 issue. Financial meltdowns hurt everyone who owns any of the assets being repriced lower, of course, but they have a way of hurting those living paycheck to paycheck even harder via rampant inflation of essentials and / or mass layoffs.
The Federal Reserve has a "Goldilocks" problem with inflation: inflation was too cold for the Fed's taste for the past decade, and now suddenly it's too hot. The Fed won't let anything like the financial well-being of the bottom 90% of American households get in te way of its implicit goal, which is protecting the wealth of the top 10% and especially the top 0.01%.
To do that, the Fed will have to recover all the ground lost to 2022's spot of bother in stocks and bonds, and restore the trajectory of market gains toward ever-richer valuations. To accomplish that, the Fed will need a crack-up boom: a hybrid inflation which eviscerates labor's modest gains in purchasing power while massively inflating asset valuations.
Higher interest rates are a headwind, to be sure, but a crack-up boom can still be managed if Corporate America can restore the Global-Sweatshop-to-landfill conveyor belt that's boosted profits for decades.
The Fed will lend a hand by herding all the cash sloshing around into equities. The primary feature of the "new prosperity" that began in 2009 is the inequality of its distribution: those with the most wealth and access to low-cost credit corralled the majority of the gains, while those who already owned the assets that ballooned (housing and equities) did well simply by being older than the generations entering the workforce in the 21st century.
For everyone left out of the Fed's hyper-financialized, hyper-globalized, hyper-inequality "new prosperity," there's always the bargain salmon casserole.
Move over, Kitty-Cat, the whole family is sharing your supper.
Here's the current issue:

Apple warning: New iPhone hack could save you from abusive stalker
NEW privacy features may help iPhone users escape abusive relationships.
Apple just announced a suite of new privacy and personal safety features at its annual WWDC event.
The new tools fall under 'Safety Check' in Settings and let iPhone users quickly review who can see their location.
Within the tool, there are customizable sharing and access settings, as well as an emergency button that can reset all permissions you may have given to anyone.
Included in this "access reset" are messages, app access, location tracking, and others.
Users are also automatically signed out of iCloud on all devices, while texts and calls are limited to their iPhones.
Apple developed the tool as a way to combat online stalking and help people exit abusive relationships easier.
The tech giant worked closely with the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV), the National Center for Victims of Crime (NCVC), and the Women’s Services Network (WESNET) to create the tools.

In a story that has enthralled many Italians, the pretender to the Italian throne, Victor Emmanuel, has been jailed over his alleged involvement in a sex scandal.
The prince prefers to stay in jail rather than be granted house arrest in a nearby rented villa -- because, he says, there is no air conditioning.
The lead investigator in the case, Henry John Woodcock, has become a minor celebrity. He is a Neapolitan with an English father.
Transcribed wiretaps that have been published by the media reveal an underworld of right-wing politicians promising showgirls jobs in TV in exchange for sex -- which is said to take place inside the foreign ministry.

The At a Glance widget is one of the Pixel's signature features, offering a quick summary of important information on the home and lock screen. With this latest update, it'll be able to display a video feed from a connected Nest Doorbell directly on the lock screen, so you won't have to open a notification to see who's calling, reported the outlet.
It'll also be able to remind you to turn off your phone's flashlight if it's left on, and Google adds that it's working on an update to offer air quality alerts when you're in a polluted area. These join other recently added At a Glance features, like earthquake alerts and improved battery info for Bluetooth devices.

Vaccine cards stored on Pixel phones are also easier to access, with a new option to add a shortcut to view screenshots of them on the homescreen. Vaccine information can already be added to Android devices and accessed via a shortcut where supported, but the new feature should work across any vaccine card that can be screenshotted, meaning support should be much broader.
Next up, Pocket Operator for Pixel is a new app that's designed to let Pixel owners remix video content by layering sounds and adding visual effects to create beats and patterns. It's been designed in collaboration with Teenage Engineering and named after the Swedish electronics company's lineup of pocket synthesizers. There are also a couple of more minor additions, as per The Verge. (ANI)

Working as a nurse over the years, I was occasionally present in that solemn moment when a terminally ill patient took their last breath and the spirit was released from their mortal bodies.
But now, this was my dad, a strong, stoic, but loving man.
My brother and his wife had just left the ICU room in Sacramento’s Mercy Hospital. They’d said their goodbyes and told him how much they loved him. He was on life support and apparently in a coma, but we told him anyway. Evidently, out of all the senses, hearing is the last to go. Maybe, just maybe, he could hear us or sense our presence.
Shortly before they left, my brother and I had given permission for the nurse who was caring for him to remove his life support, as he would have wished. He and I were finally alone together in the room I sat in a chair near the end of the bed, facing him.
I thought about all that is lost with each generation that passes away. I thought about my parents, aunts and uncles who were present in my young life, their unconditional love and affection for each other that spilled over to me, their laughter, and the sound of their voices that flowed over and around me.
In his early 20s my dad was a pilot in World War II. He had fortunately returned home in one piece, put his war memories behind him and married my mother. He was a good father, watching over my brother and me, and working hard until his retirement. I was determined not to leave him until he’d taken his last breath. I didn’t want him to die alone and knew he would have done the same for me.
At some point, when his breathing was so slow and death was near, I sensed the presence of my mother, who’d died five years previously. She was next to me at the end of the bed. I felt her nearness, though I didn’t see her and didn’t dare turn my head, in fear she’d disappear. In the silence of that room, she somehow communicated to me just a few words:
“I am not here for you.”
And then, when my dad took his last breath, more like a sigh, they were both gone. I believed it was my dad who’d summoned her. She was the love of his life. I felt she was also there for me, to let me know not to worry, that I could leave now.
I picked up my jacket and purse and left the room. It was time for me to return to my life. He was with my mom again, or so I told myself and wanted to believe.
But, where were we in that wavering point in time between life on earth and the beyond? It was a disquieting experience, but at the same time, I felt comforted and privileged to have witnessed those few precious moments.

Lifeboat training with SV Tenacious
Subscribe newsletter
Tall ship Tenacious sailed into Dartmouth last week, and the opportunity was used to conduct a RNLI training exercise.
Measuring 27.5m tall and 54m in length, Tenacious is the largest wooden tall ship of her kind. She was crewed by cadets from University Royal Naval Units when she visited the port on May 24. The ship is run by the Jubilee Sailing Trust and has a permanent crew of nine, with the capacity for up to 44 trainee crew onboard. She’s been adapted to be accessible for wheelchair users and also features a speaking compass for blind crew, as well as state-of-the-art navigation instruments. No paper charts are required.
A RNLI spokesperson said: “The crew disembarked at Dartmouth and visited Dart RNLI Lifeboat Station for a tour and to learn about being a volunteer lifeboat crew member. They watched videos of some recent rescues, including the whale at Blackpool Sands and big ship rescues with local all-weather lifeboats from Torbay and Salcombe.
“They were then shown round both of Dart’s boats: the D-Class, a five-metre inshore lifeboat kept in the boathouse on the trailer of Thomas the tractor, and the Atlantic, an 8.5-metre inshore lifeboat moored on an aqua-dock at the end of the walk-on pontoon. The crew of Tenacious asked lots of questions and hopefully we’ve inspired some future Lifeboat crew. Later that day, Tenacious set sail from Dartmouth, on route for Alderney.”
The spokesperson said the RNLI used the visit as an opportunity to conduct a training exercise.
They said: “The Atlantic B-Class, helmed by Captain Rich Eggleton, came alongside Tenacious past the river mouth to practice a crew transfer. Maintaining the same steady speed as the tall ship of around 3.5 knots, they kept the lifeboat close enough to Tenacious for trainee crew member Tatty Pettigrew to climb up the ship’s ladder and onto the deck.
“In a real-life scenario, the lifeboat may have to do this if there was a medical emergency onboard and we needed to get a trained casualty carer onto the vessel. Tatty was welcomed by the crew, who she’d met earlier at the lifeboat station tour and was given a quick tour of their helm and navigation station. She was then back down the ladder to re-join the lifeboat.
“The crew of Tenacious waved goodbye as the lifeboat crew returned to Dartmouth to complete their training exercise and Tenacious disappeared over the horizon on her way to Alderney.”

A small house doesn’t necessarily mean that it has few possibilities. And this passive, energy-efficient abode that you will tour today will prove that for sure. Rendered by the home builders at House Habitat, this charming little house is both bright and visually appealing. It was constructed using renewable materials to keep the energy consumption at a minimum. The sunny patio, white facade, cosy interiors and stylish furniture of this home will give you the design inspiration you are looking for!
Locally sourced wood has been used to build this adorable white house with its pretty windows, slanted roof and spacious patio. The sleek wooden columns enhance the country style look, while the elegant outdoor furniture promises ample leisure under the sun.
Lavish use of white and smooth surfaces make the interiors look vintage as well as modern. Strategically placed windows bring in loads of natural light, which the white environment reflects nicely. This way, the use of artificial lights is reduced and everything feels natural. The dark wooden steps of the staircase and the cane chairs break the monotony of white and add warmth.
This classic style living room is rendered in white mostly and gets ample natural light through the pretty window. The furniture is modern yet cosy and decked with printed cushions and colourful throws for a lively and warm look. The bold black fireplace also keeps things toasty and the floor is insulated against cold and humidity as well.
Generous use of white makes this classic kitchen inviting and bright. The large glass window brings in the sun easily, while the neat counters and island ensure convenience while cooking or serving. There is ample space to store essentials and the appliances are very trendy. The dining table is simple yet breaks the monotony of white very effectively.
Though the house enjoys an area of only 170sqm, it features a living space, a kitchen and dining, an office, two bedrooms and three bathrooms. This is one of the pretty and cosy bedrooms we included in the tour. The bed with its patchwork linen and plump cushions looks immensely inviting. And though it is placed right in front of the window, the house is thermally insulated to prevent heat loss. The side tables are very quaint too.
A classic pristine white sink unit contrasts the grey tiles of the walls beautifully in this compact bathroom. Modern fixtures and trendy lamps add to the cosy vibe, while the round mirror reflects natural light effectively for a bright look.

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Cyprus will lodge a complaint with the United Nations over Turkey’s new financial assistance deal with breakaway Turkish Cypriots that demonstrates Ankara’s “complete control” over them, the president of the ethnically divided island nation said Monday.
President Nicos Anastasiades, a Greek Cypriot, told state broadcaster CyBC that he would also include in the protest letter Turkey’s move to designate the Turkish Cypriots’ unrecognized, main airport as a domestic flight route, effectively turning it into a Turkish one.
Many liberal Turkish Cypriots fear that both the financial deal and the airport designation are the clearest signals yet that Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan wants to eventually annex breakaway northern Cyprus.
“I will proceed with the complaint again with the United Nations relative to the airport which ... in essence is being integrated and considered a Turkish airport,” Anastasiades said. “Secondly, (financial) protocol clearly demonstrates Ankara’s complete control of the Turkish Cypriots.”
Turkish officials reportedly said the designation aims to make flights to and from northern Cyprus cheaper.
Turkish Cypriots declared independence in the island nation’s northern third nearly a decade after Turkey invaded in 1974 following a coup by supporters of union with Greece. Only Turkey recognizes the Turkish Cypriots’ independence. Numerous rounds of U.N.-facilitated talks over nearly a half century to reunify Cyprus as a federation composed of Greek and Turkish speaking sectors have led nowhere.
Turkish Cypriots fault a Greek Cypriot denial to equitably share power in a federated Cyprus. Greek Cypriots fear a Turkish Cypriot insistence for Turkish military intervention rights, a permanent Turkish troop presence and veto power for the minority Turkish Cypriots.
Citing the failed peace talks, Ankara and hardline Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar say the only feasible way now to break the deadlock is an accord based on two sovereign states — something that Greek Cypriots reject as formalizing permanent partition of the Mediterranean island.
Many Turkish Cypriots are up in arms over the financial agreement, about 240 million euros worth of grants and loans this year, or about a third of annual revenues.
Although the north has always been dependent on Turkish economic aid, the peace group United Cyprus Now says this deal compels Turkish Cypriots to introduce measures curbing freedom of speech, making it easier for Turkish citizens to buy up property and cedes more power to religious authorities.
“These measures constitute a direct threat to the will, identity, culture, way of life and heritage of Turkish Cypriots,” the group said.
The leader of the leftist opposition Republican Turkish Party Tufan Erhurman called the deal a “protocol for the abandonment of the will” of Turkish Cypriots to govern themselves. | https://www.thestar.com/news/world/europe/2022/06/06/cyprus-to-un-turkey-seeks-full-control-of-breakaway-north.html | 2022-06-06T19:18:31Z | https://www.thestar.com/news/world/europe/2022/06/06/cyprus-to-un-turkey-seeks-full-control-of-breakaway-north.html | true | 32 |
NEW YORK (AP) — The projected field for the Belmont Stakes is down to eight after two withdrawals the day before the post position draw.
Neither Ethereal Road nor Howling Time will run in the third leg of the Triple Crown on Saturday, which is set to feature Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike.
Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas on Monday said Ethereal Road has a quarter crack in one of his hooves, which will keep him out of the Belmont. Ethereal Road, the horse whose withdrawal from the Derby paved the way for Rich Strike’s upset victory at odds of 80-1, won the $100,000 Sir Barton Stakes on the Preakness undercard May 21.
Instead of going to Belmont Park, Howling Time will remain in Louisville and run in a race at Churchill Downs on Saturday, according to trainer Dale Romans.
Rich Strike did not run in the Preakness two weeks after the Derby, with owner Rick Dawson citing the need for extra rest.
The plan was to target the 1½-mile Belmont, and Rich Strike has been at the track in New York since last week.
Preakness third-place finisher Creative Minister and fifth-place finisher Skippylongstocking are still set to run in the Belmont. The trainer and owner of Preakness winner Early Voting never considered the Belmont as the colt's next race.
Back from the Derby along with Rich Strike are Mo Donegal, who finished fifth, and Barber Road, who was sixth. No horses are set to run in all three Triple Crown races this year.
Rounding out the expected field is Todd Pletcher-trained filly Nest, who was the Kentucky Oaks favorite and finished second behind Secret Oath; and We the People and Golden Glider, who ran first and second in the Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont Park on June 14.

Patrice Bergeron is the Selke Trophy winner as the NHL’s best defensive forward for a record-breaking fifth time.
The big question now is whether the Boston Bruins captain will go for a sixth.
Bergeron accepted the award Sunday in the aftermath of surgery for a tendon in his left elbow and still unsure whether he’ll return for a 19th season. He turns 37 in July.
“I still think I have a lot of time in front of me, I guess, to make that decision,” Bergeron said. “I want to make sure that I take all the time that I need to make the right one.”
Bergeron wouldn’t be calling it a career because of diminished performance. He is still on top of his game.
At 36, Bergeron led the league with 991 faceoff wins and a winning percentage of .619 and had the best puck possession numbers among players who skated at least 50 games. He put up 65 points in 73 games, trailing only longtime linemates Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak in scoring for the Bruins.
Not having a contract for next season is the primary rationale behind Bergeron’s indecision.
“My whole career I’ve had contract extensions or I’ve had long-term contracts,” he said. “I would head into the summers I guess with that in the back of my mind, meaning that I know what I’m doing next year and all that stuff. And now I’m 36 and I don’t have a contract and I can actually take a step back for the first time in my career, the first time in my life that I can just reflect on what I do want looking forward for the future.”
Bergeron winning the Selke for a fifth time broke a tie with Montreal Canadiens Hall of Famer Bob Gainey, who won the award in its first four years of existence. This was his 11th consecutive season as a finalist — the longest streak in league history, surpassing Wayne Gretzky’s 10-year run finishing in the top three in voting for the Hart Trophy as NHL MVP from 1980-89.
“The 11th in a row, as a player I think you want to be a consistent player,” Bergeron said. “You want to be known as a consistent player, so, yeah, it is nice to be recognized that way.”
Florida’s Aleksander Barkov and Calgary’s Elias Lindholm were the other finalists as voted by members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association. Bergeron was a runaway winner with 160 of 195 first-place votes, with Lindholm second and Barkov third.
Bergeron likely has fewer years left playing hockey than Lindholm and Barkov, though next season could be a major task for the dedicated center who helped Boston win the Stanley Cup in 2011 and make the final in 2013 and ‘19. Marchand and top defenseman Charlie McAvoy are expected to miss at least the first couple of months after undergoing surgery, and others won’t be ready for opening night.
“I think it’s one of those things you have to ride the wave,” Bergeron said. “I guess it comes down to another challenge. This organization and this team have seen many challenges for the past whatever years — even decades.”
Bergeron has been a part of overcoming those challenges since making his NHL debut in 2003. He said the elbow surgery, which requires a 10 to 12-week recovery period, won’t affect his looming decision.
Playing through the injury for almost two years does make his latest accomplishment cementing his legacy as one of hockey’s best two-way players even more impressive. Naturally, Bergeron credits his teammates and the organization for the individual honor.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to play on great teams and to win five Selkes,” he said. “The structure of the way that we play as team, that we’ve played for a long time in Boston, has helped me tremendously.”

In response to a statement by ex-Lagos governor Bola Tinubu who said he helped President Muhammadu Buhari emerge president in 2015, the presidency said millions of Nigerians brought Mr Buhari into power and not just one person.
Garba Shehu, Mr Buhari’s spokesperson, said Monday that many people played parts, large and small, in Mr Buhari’s “historic election in 2015;” thus making history as the first opposition candidate to defeat a sitting president “with power changing hands peacefully at the ballot box.”
PREMIUM TIMES reported that Mr Tinubu had said he brought the president out of retirement and helped him to win the election in 2015.
He was addressing delegates in Ogun State when he said Mr Buhari, after losing the 2003, 2007 and 2011 presidential elections, vowed not to contest again but he (Mr Tinubu) went to Katsina to persuade him to contest and subsequently supported him to win in 2015.
Mr Tinubu later released a statement saying he did not mean to disparage the president.
At the Ogun meeting, Mr Tinubu also said he nominated Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as the president’s running mate.
But a statement by presidential media aide, Garba Shehu, described Mr Tinubu’s utterances as unsurprising.
“There are those who advised the president to run again; those who decided to build a political party – the APC – that could finally be the political vehicle capable of delivering victory where all other opposition parties and alliances before it had failed,” he said.
“Those decisions may have been agreed upon by a few. But they were delivered by thousands and voted for by tens of millions. No one can or should claim to have made the possible.”

Mr Shehu said as important as that moment was, it is not what should decide the next general election and what matters is the future: the policy platforms, the ideas, the drive, and the determination to take over the president’s stewardship.
“The person most demonstrable in those qualities is the one to lead our party and our country forward,” he said.
Mr Shehu’s statement came hours before the presidential primary of the All Progressives Congress.
So far, the president has been meeting with different groups with the aim of encouraging aspirants to come up with a consensus candidate.
Mr Tinubu is one of the 23 aspirants seeking to be the presidential candidate of the APC. Others include Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello and ex-transportation minister Rotimi Amaechi.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — The United States sanctioned two prominent Bosnian officials Monday, accusing them of threatening the peace, stability and prosperity in their country which has never fully recovered from its brutal inter-ethnic war in the 1990s.
The U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Marinko Cavara and Alen Seranic, alleging the pair have sought “to pursue ethno-nationalist and political agendas at the expense of the democratic institutions and citizens” of Bosnia.
Marinko Cavara, in his capacity as the president of one of Bosnia’s two post-war administrative parts, the Bosniak-Croat Federation, has refused to nominate the judges to the region’s constitutional court and otherwise “directly or indirectly engaged in actions or policies that undermine democratic processes and institutions,” the Treasury Department said in a statement.
It added that Cavara, who is a member of the strongest Bosnian Croat political party, the nationalist HDZ, has done so to further “his and his party’s political interests.”
Alen Seranic, the health and social welfare minister in the government of Bosnia’s other administrative part, Republika Srpska, has been sanctioned for “furthering the secessionist efforts” over his ministry’s work on forming an exclusively Serb drugs and medicinal products administration.
The move was interpreted by the Treasury Department as part of a drive by the ruling Bosnian Serb nationalist party, SNSD, of which Seranic is a member, to separate Republika Srpska — which covers about half of Bosnia’s territory — from the rest of the country, including by unilaterally withdrawing from its shared multi-ethnic institutions.
The Treasury Department accused both officials of undermining the U.S.-sponsored 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement, which ended Bosnia’s more than 3½ years of interethnic bloodshed and established the two separate governing entities in the country.
The two entities were given wide autonomy, but are linked by shared, state-wide institutions, including a drugs and medicinal products agency, and all actions at a national level require consensus from all three ethnic groups.
The work of the shared but also of some regional institutions has for long been obstructed by the dominant Bosnian Croat and Bosnian Serb nationalist parties over their continued desire to either completely dismantle or further ethnically divide the country.
Welcoming the announcement of sanctions by the Treasury Department, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken tweeted Monday that Bosnia’s future “cannot be compromised by ethno-nationalist parties at the expense of its citizens.”
The Bosnian war pitted the country’s three main ethnic factions — Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks — against each other after the breakup of Yugoslavia. More than 100,000 people were killed in the conflict before a peace deal was brokered in 1995. | https://www.kxan.com/news/political-news/us-sanctions-2-bosnian-officials-for-undermining-peace/ | 2022-06-06T19:32:36Z | https://www.kxan.com/news/political-news/us-sanctions-2-bosnian-officials-for-undermining-peace/ | true | 31 |
TEXAS, USA — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is directing an active shooter training center to provide training to all Texas school districts before the next school year.
Editorial note: The above video is from a previous story.
The directive comes after the Uvalde school shooting that left 19 students and two teachers dead at Robb Elementary School.
In a letter to the ALERRT Center at Texas State University, Abbott said the state can benefit from the center's expertise.
In 2013, ALERRT was named the gold standard in active shooter response training by the FBI.
"We sadly recognize we cannot do anything to bring back previous lives that were taken," Abbott wrote in the letter. "However, we must do everything in our power to prevent the same tragic ending from happening again."
RELATED: Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick pushing to provide every school police officer with a bulletproof shield
Abbott requests that ALERRT debrief school administrators, law enforcement personnel and other school safety decision-makers to prioritize school-based law enforcement training.
Abbott also said the training must start before the next school year begins.
ALERRT is designed for first responders to use effective strategies in response to active attacks, according to their website.
They've trained over 200,000 first responders nationwide with their 16-hour program. The training includes team movement, room entry techniques, shooting and moving, and how to approach the crisis.
The letter to ALERRT comes days after Abbott requested state leaders form a special legislative committee, but stopped short of calling for a special legislative session.
"I request that these committees review what steps previous legislatures have enacted, what resources the State has made available to local school districts, and make recommendations to the Legislature and the Executive Branch so that meaningful action can be made on, among other things, the following topics to prevent future school shootings:
- School safety
- Mental health
- Social media
- Police training
- Firearm safety
It is important the process begins immediately," Abbott wrote.
Abbott recently requested a complete safety review of Texas public schools -- including random, unannounced security checks -- in the wake of the Uvalde school shooting. | https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/texas/gov-abbott-requests-texas-school-districts-complete-active-shooter-training/285-abe87cec-8498-4bea-a40f-a32b5505ead7 | 2022-06-06T19:33:04Z | https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/texas/gov-abbott-requests-texas-school-districts-complete-active-shooter-training/285-abe87cec-8498-4bea-a40f-a32b5505ead7 | false | 6 |
Marjorie Taylor Greene keeps retelling her own school ‘lockdown’ story to attack gun control advocates. What really happened?
Greene called on Hogg to discuss ‘common sense’ gun reform with her
Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has repeatedly invoked her own experience during a 1990 hostage situation as she takes aim at advocates for gun control. But a closer look at that incident, at South Forsyth County High School, reveals holes in Ms Greene’s account.
The most recent instance came as she targeted activist and Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg in the wake of the Uvalde school shooting that left 19 students and two faculty members of Robb Elementary School dead.
Ms Greene recently wrote a tweet claiming that as “someone who has also been on lockdown as a student when the only madman with a gun is another student who wants to kill people,” Mr Hogg should be open to discussing “common sense” solutions with her.
She also accused him of bullying her “weak RINO colleagues.”
Mr Hogg fired back, telling her he would not help her go viral by talking with her about gun laws.
Ms Greene — who once bolstered conspiracy theories that the Parkland shooting was a false flag operation — has a long history of targeting Mr Hogg for his advocacy, often citing her involvement in the 1990 hostage situation in which a gunman entered the school South Forsyth County High School and took two classrooms of students hostage.
While Ms Greene was in the building, she was not among the students who were taken hostage, according to a school communications director.
Still, she has frequently referenced that experience when arguing against "gun-free zones" in schools.
"There was no adult there with a gun in our school because our schools had turned into gun-free zones," she said during an interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson earlier this year. "This is because of Joe Biden and the crime bill that they passed back in 1990."
According to reports from the Atlanta Journal Constitution at the time, the culprit of the 1990 incident took 40 students hostage. The 17-year-old faced 90 felony counts of kidnapping and and aggravated assault. In 1991, the individual was sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty.
The paper reported that the 17-year-old held nine students hostage for five hours and claimed they did not want to hurt anyone, but was trying to die at the hands of the police.
Ms Greene invoked the memory to explain her position on gun control.
“I truly believe that children at school should never be left unprotected. I believe they should be just as protected as we were with 30,000 National Guardsmen,” she said, likely referencing the influx of military personnel to the Capitol in the wake of the Capitol riot. “Our children are our future and they’re our most precious resource."
Ms Greene has also cited her legitimate past trauma when undermining the trauma of her political opponents, as she once did with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez following the Capitol riot.
“I was in the chamber, unlike AOC, Representative Ocasio-Cortez, that faked her outrage with another hoax, just another hoax that gets shared everywhere,” The Hill reported Ms Greene said at the time, downplaying the Democrat’s trauma.
The Independent has reached out to Ms Greene for comment.
At the time, Ms Ocasio-Cortez had livestreamed herself on Instagram and recounted her experiences during the Capitol insurrection, saying she was fearful that she might die.
Conservatives – Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace in particular – latched onto Ms Ocasio-Cortez's account of the event to claim that she was lying and playing up the drama of the event to garner sympathy and demonise some Republican lawmakers who are considered by some as complicit in the attack.
Ms Mace misrepresented Ms Ocasio-Cortez's story by claiming that her office is "two doors down" from hers and that "no insurrectionists stormed our hallway".
Ms Ocasio-Cortez did not claim insurrections stormed their hallway. She said she was hiding in an office and heard someone outside banging on her door that seemed angry. The individual was a Capitol police officer, but Ms Ocasio-Cortez did not know that in the moment.
Ms Mace said Ms Ocasio-Cortez's account "waters down everyone's trauma".
In response, Ms Ocasio-Cortez claimed Ms Mace was trying to undermine her experience for Fox News "clicks," and cited the congresswoman's tweets from the day of the event to prove she was scared as well.
"Just evacuated my office in Cannon due to a nearby threat. Now we’re seeing protesters assaulting Capitol Police," Ms Mace tweeted the day of the insurrection. "This is wrong. This is not who we are. I’m heartbroken for our nation today."
Ms Mace was among the Republicans who supported Ms Greene when the House voted to strip her of her committee seats.

At WWDC 2022 on Monday, Apple announced a new feature in iOS 16 called Safety Check that centers on the privacy (and safety) of victims of domestic abuse.
iPhone users can quickly review who they've shared access with and what they're sharing, such as location, calendar, and specific apps with Safety Check. Users can also quickly revoke access to others to protect their privacy.
Safety Check displays a list of contacts a user has shared access with and a rundown of what is being shared with them. For example, users can stop sharing their location with an individual user from this list.
This new security feature also comes with an emergency reset option, which immediately resets access for all people and apps you've shared with. This includes resetting system privacy permissions on all apps, stopping location sharing, and protecting access to messages which may be going to multiple devices.
In the age of the cloud, privacy and security issues are paramount. And Safety Check actually seems very well thought out so far.
If you've experienced domestic or intimate partner violence, you can call the National Domestic Violence hotline at 1−800−799−7233. Additional resources are available on its website. | https://mashable.com/article/apple-wwdc-safety-check | 2022-06-06T19:37:57Z | https://mashable.com/article/apple-wwdc-safety-check | true | 1 |

So, How Much Does A Tattoo Really Hurt? Let's Discuss
Spoiler alert: Tattoos hurt a lot, especially in certain places on your body.
Inking your body is one of the most beautiful ways to express yourself. Not only can you tell stories through tattoos, but you can catalog memories that will last a lifetime, all right there on your skin. But as appealing as tattoos are, they can be prohibitive for a couple of reasons. For one, tattoos are understandably expensive. Not only are you paying an artist to create literal art for you, but then you’re paying for them to put it on your body. Tattoos are something you don’t want to skimp on price with, either, because the quality of the work and the cleanliness of the tattoo studio are paramount. The other literal pain point of tattooing is how much it will hurt to get done. Have you ever seen a tattoo pain chart? Depending on where on your body your tattoo is, your pain level will differ — but you can expect pretty much anywhere to hurt at least a little.
Of course, different people have different pain thresholds. Still, while everyone’s experience with tattooing will be unique, there are certain areas of the body that you can count on to be more painful than others. Check out this helpful tattoo pain chart, as well as everything else you need to know about managing tattoo pain.
What does a tattoo pain chart look like?
This tattoo body pain chart will give you a visual example of where you can generally expect to experience more or less pain while getting tattooed.
What is the most painful tattoo spot?
Generally speaking, there are a few areas of the body that are typically more painful than others. Anywhere you’re tattooing right on a bone tends to be pretty uncomfortable. This includes the spine, knees, ribs, chest, and feet. Because there isn’t much fat between the skin and the bone, the needlework feels more intense.
Places on the body where the skin is generally thin or sensitive can also be painful — places like breasts, inner elbows, and the butt. The skin in these areas isn’t toughened up, which makes a tattoo more painful. However, keep in mind that everyone experiences pain at different levels. So, someone might rate a foot tattoo at an incredibly high pain level, and someone else might find it only mildly uncomfortable.
What is the least painful place to get a tattoo?
Your back and arms are usually the easiest places to get tattoos when it comes to pain. In these areas, the skin is a bit thicker, meaning there is fat and muscle below the skin to cushion the pressure of the needle. Certain areas of your legs are also far less painful, like your thighs. Some places are hit or miss, though. Wrists can be dreadful for some people since a wrist is so bony, but smaller tattoos may not be so bad.
What does tattoo pain feel like?
Even though needles produce tattoos, it doesn’t feel like you’re getting stabbed. It’s nothing like getting a shot, either. The artist is actually drawing on your skin, so it feels like that — but more burn-y. You’ll feel pressure from the artist holding your skin in place and from the needles pressing down, too. For tattoos on skin that’s right on top of a bone, it may feel like the needles are scraping your bones. (We know, it sounds awful, but it’s honestly not so bad.)
The size and scope of a tattoo make a big difference in how painful it is. Tattoos with a lot of line work or shading are more painful than a small tattoo with just an outline. Larger tattoos may also take multiple sessions, and coming back when the first round has just barely healed may make the second session more painful than the first.
The pain also depends on your artist and their skills. Someone who isn’t quite as proficient may not be as gentle on your skin. This is why researching your artist and studio beforehand is a no-brainer. But just remember — the pain doesn’t last. Once the appointment is over, you may have some discomfort for a few days while your skin starts to heal. As long as the tattoo was done properly, the pain won’t last much longer than that.
How do I prepare for tattoo pain?
Though you might feel inclined to take a painkiller before a tattoo appointment, you really shouldn’t. Some painkillers — like aspirin — are blood thinners, which can be dangerous while you have needles going in and out of your skin. Instead, try the following tips.
- Make sure you’re well-rested before your appointment and have had enough to eat and drink. Depending on how long you’ll be in the chair, you may also want to bring water with you to sip on while you’re getting the work done.
- You also want to just talk to your artist. Feeling comfortable with the person doing the work will help you stay more relaxed during your session. And don’t be afraid to say something if it at any point hurts beyond what you can tolerate. Your artist doesn’t want to hurt you, so keep those lines of communication open for maximum tattoo pain relief.
- To help minimize soreness once your tattoo is complete, make sure you wear loose-fitting clothing. For example, if you know you’re getting a tattoo on your thigh, avoid a pencil skirt or jeans and wear a flowy skirt instead.
- If you’re thinking about numbing the pain by going to your appointment drunk, it’s actually a really lousy idea. One, most tattoo artists refuse to work on drunk people, and two, alcohol thins your blood, which causes you to bleed even more during the process.
- Do not take any blood-thinning pills like aspirin or ibuprofen for up to two days before getting your tattoo. This will make you bleed more during the session and make it harder for your tattoo artist to see what they’re doing.
- Stay away from dairy or sugar a few days before your session. Sugar and dairy can make the healing process take longer. These kinds of treats may also make your stomach bloat a bit, which can mess up a tummy tatt — it may come out differently on bloated skin compared to your regular stomach.
What should you not do after a tattoo?
Once you’ve gotten a tattoo, there are also a few things to avoid so that your new ink stays clean, visible, and uninfected. You should:
- Come to your tattoo appointments in loose clothing and continue to wear baggy clothes until it’s fully healed.
- Avoid direct exposure to the sun. But if you need to spend time outside, make sure to put on sunblock.
- Avoid going swimming or submerging in the bath tub.
- Do not scratch or pick at your tattoo as it could lead to infection or mess up your tattoo.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Plenette Pierson is returning to Texas Tech to be an assistant coach at her alma mater after spending most of the past 20 years in the WNBA, where she was played on three championship teams.
Texas Tech said Monday that Pierson, an assistant for the Minnesota Lynx for three years, will join coach Krista Gerlich's staff in time for summer workouts in Lubbock.
“She is one of the greatest players to come through the Lady Raider program and she has a significant toughness about her that I thoroughly enjoyed watching when she played,” Gerlich said. “What she’s done at the professional level the last 20 years has been remarkable. She will add a lot of credibility to our program and staff due to her knowledge and experience in the professional game.”
Pierson graduated from Texas Tech in 2003, after four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances that included two Elite Eight appearances and two other Sweet 16s. She was the fourth overall pick by Phoenix in the 2003 WNBA draft and went on to play 15 seasons with the Mercury, Detroit Shock/Tulsa Shock, New York Liberty and Dallas Wings. She was part of WNBA titles with the Shock in 2006 and 2008 and the Lynx during her final year as a player in 2017.
The Lady Raiders were 102-30 overall during Pierson's four seasons as a player. She is still ranked in the top 10 at the school in points (1,602), points per game (15.4), field goals made (602), free throws made (398) and blocked shots (116).

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (AP) — At least 15 people who attended a public affairs conference last week on Michigan's Mackinac Island have tested positive for COVID-19, including U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
The gathering is put on each year by a business group, the Detroit Regional Chamber, and attracts more than 1,000 public officials, journalists and others who discuss a variety of political and policy issues. Four Republican candidates for governor held a debate.
Participants were required to show proof of a COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test.
The Chamber said at least 15 people tested positive immediately following the event, The Detroit News reported. Buttigieg disclosed his infection Monday on Twitter, saying he had mild symptoms.
Mackinac Island's wastewater tested “fairly high” for evidence of COVID-19 just before Memorial Day, said Kerry Ott, spokeswoman for the local health department.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer tested negative Monday, spokesman Bobby Leddy said.
David Eggert, a reporter at Crain's Detroit Business, said on Twitter that “very few people” wore masks. He, too, was infected. | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/COVID-hits-Buttigieg-others-who-attended-17222887.php | 2022-06-06T19:43:23Z | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/COVID-hits-Buttigieg-others-who-attended-17222887.php | false | 13 |

- Golden Ray Shipwreck is largest salvage operation since Exxon-Valdez Alaska Oil Spill
- Albert Dai's surviving dependents file wrongful death lawsuit against salvage operators, T&T Salvage, LLC and Teichman Group, LLC
- Lawsuit claims T&T Salvage won bid to salvage Golden Ray in Georgia based on reckless plan, resulting in millions of dollars in excess cost, delays, environmental damage, and the death of Albert Dai, Plaintiff
AUSTIN, Texas , June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Harris-county family represented by law firm Muery & Farrell has filed a lawsuit against Galveston-based T&T Salvage for the death of employee Albert Dai, husband and father. Teichman Group, LLC is also named as a defendant.
Wenijan (Albert) Dai had been employed by T&T Salvage as a specialized naval architect and salvage engineer from 2012 until his death. In 2019, Defendant bid on a complex salvage project off the coast of Georgia, following the capsize of the Golden Ray.
The Golden Ray shipwreck is the largest salvage operation in the history of the United States. The lawsuit claims Dai, who had over two decades of experience in marine salvage, warned T&T Salvage that its salvage plan was "not achievable" and posed "significant risks".
T&T Salvage won the bid, causing an extraordinary workload on Dai, including during the first half of 2020 as COVID-19 caused global lockdowns. His widow, Yuan Zhou, claims that Dai worked "around the clock" under extraordinary pressure. He died on June 29, 2020, and Plaintiffs make claims for gross negligence.
The Golden Ray salvage incident was, according to one U.S. Coast Guard Commander, the "largest wreck removal in U.S. history." T&T Salvage is also named as a defendant in a lawsuit by Glynn County, Georgia, where the capsize took place, which alleges that negligent salvage operations caused environmental damage, including several fires, oil spills, and allowed "debris and hazardous fluids to get into the sound, estuary and marshlands."
Maureen Farrell, Counsel for Plaintiffs, "T&T Salvage ignored warnings, and pursued a reckless salvage plan that cost about $800 million, caused environmental destruction to the Georgia coast, and cost Albert Dai his life. Companies should not work employees to death in pursuit of profits at any price."
The lawsuit is ongoing. Houston-based firm Nguyen & Chen is serving as plaintiffs' co-counsel in the case.

ESSINGTON, Pa., June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The wait for the re-opening of PHL's most convenient, safe, professional, and courteous customer centric airport parking facility is over! Expresspark- South Lot, is a privately-owned, Certified Woman-Owned and Operated off-site PHL Airport Parking Lot and has re-opened its doors after being closed over 2 years due to the COVID-19 Virus and government mandates. Expresspark-South Lot is part of the Smart Park Airport Parking Group of family operated airport parking facilities serving the Philadelphia International Airport.
Over the past year, Expresspark's Management Team has been working hard growing and training their staff to serve its newly expanded 825-car facility. Owner, Stephanie Kozak Allen, sees Expresspark-South Lot's re-opening as a milestone for the parking group since it faced many obstacles not only over the past two years, over the last decade. Expresspark-South Lot started construction in 2007, opened its doors in July of 2010 and immediately started the approval process for the expansion of 350 spaces. With approvals received and in hand by the end of August 2019, Expresspark-South Lot broke ground for the additional parking spaces and subsequently faced additional delays, i.e., the unforeseen permanent closure of Expresspark-North Lot due to airport mandate, and the wait on additional approvals requested from governing authorities. Stephanie and her expansion team stayed the course re-opening its doors on April 13, 2022, with 250 additional parking spots. The remaining 100 parking spots are earmarked to be completed by August 2022.
Expresspark and Smart Park Airport Parking Facilities have been providing award-winning customer service to its parking patrons since 1994. Stephanie and her team of 108 reinstated and/or newly hired service-motivated individuals are eager to get back to business at Expresspark-South Lot doing what they do best, providing safe and secure off-site airport parking and transportation to/from the Philadelphia International Airport for individuals traveling by air around the world from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware's Tri-State area. Expresspark-South Lot is grateful it stayed the course re-opening in the community, is very grateful to its staff and management team for their efforts; and, is extremely grateful to its customers and can't wait to see them soon to serve their PHL Airport Parking needs!

Gayle King is asked to LEAVE the CBS studios after testing positive for COVID - but continues chatting with her UNMASKED colleagues having already presented the morning show alongside her co-hosts
- The talk show host, 68, shared the news on Monday morning via an Instagram video, which was taken in the lobby of the CBS building
- The clip showed her wearing two masks as she talked about her diagnosis, revealing that she had been asked to exit the premise and quarantine at home
- Throughout the 35-second video, King chatted with various CBS crew members and stopped to talk to co-anchor Nate Burleson, 40, who wasn't wearing a mask
- A worker then had to ask King to leave the studios, to which she replied, 'I'm leaving. I'm leaving'

Gayle King had to be 'asked to leave' the CBS studios on Monday morning after she tested positive for COVID - but continued to chat with her unmasked colleagues, having already presented the morning show alongside her co-hosts.
The talk show host, 68, shared the news of her positive test result in an Instagram video, which was taken in the lobby of the CBS building.
In the clip, the CBS Mornings anchor can be seen wearing two face masks as she talks to the camera about her diagnosis, admitting that she had been asked to immediately leave the building and quarantine at home.
But despite being told to exit the premises, Gayle continued to hang around the studios filming herself chatting about her test result, before speaking to one of her unmasked co-anchors.
'The thing I've been dreading has finally happened. I just tested positive for - I got the 'rona,' she says in the video. 'They ran a test, and we're gonna take one more just to be sure but in the meantime, I've been asked to leave the building and go home.'

The talk show host (pictured during the show on Monday), 68, shared the news via an Instagram video, which was taken in the lobby of the CBS building
Throughout the 35-second video, the journalist chatted with various CBS crew members and at one point, she even greeted her fellow anchor Nate Burleson, 40, who didn't wear a mask.
The clip showed her wearing two masks as she talked to the camera about her diagnosis, revealing that she had been asked to exit the premise and quarantine at home
'Hi Gayle,' he said to her as he walked right up to her without wearing a face covering. 'You good?'
Someone from behind the camera quickly said, 'You shouldn't - keep walking Nate, you don't have a mask on.'
A CBS worker then asked King to get out of the studio, to which she replied, 'I'm leaving. I'm leaving.'
She added, '[It] finally happened to me, I'm double vaxxed and boosted. Go figure,' before ending the video.
'My turn...' she captioned the post.
King hosted Monday morning's episode of the CBS talk show before finding out that she had the virus, during which she was joined by Burleson, Tony Dokoupil, and Vladimir Duthiers as they discussed Duthiers' band Sound on Tape.
In a second video, King added, 'It looks like I've got to accept the reality. I've had three PCR tests, all positive. Then I came home and took an at home test - two lines which means it's positive.

Her diagnosis comes four months after King suffered from a COVID-19 scare when she received a false positive test back in February. She is pictured the day of the scare
At the time, King announced that she had to host the show from the back of a van after she tested positive for the illness, but revealed she later received 'multiple' negative tests
'It's not good. I've had four tests that all say positive. I was hoping that this would be a false alarm because I've had two of those before.'
King explained that she gets tested 'all the time' at CBS and that she was negative on Friday.
In a second video, King explained that she developed a 'slight cold' over the weekend - which she said didn't make her 'overly concerned' since she's had them before
However, after developing a 'slight cold' over the weekend - which she said didn't make her 'overly concerned' since she's had them before - she took a test on Monday and it came back positive.
It's unclear where she picked up the virus, but last week, the mom-of-two went for a extracorporeal pulse activation therapy appointment with Doctor Nad Far Lev, which she shared on her Instagram.
She also attended Katy Perry's show in Las Vegas, Nevada, one week before her positive test, posting some snaps from backstage with the singer.
'I'm trying to think about where I've been and what I've done, and right now nothing really comes to mind for me,' she added in the video.
'But I can say that the 'rona finally got me and I've been trying really hard to try and avoid it. But I'm so glad I'm double boosted and double vaxxed.
'And let's just hope that my symptoms stay mild because right now, it really does just feel like a cold - a slight cold.'
But she revealed that she took four PCR tests and one at-home test on Monday, and they all came back positive
King revealed that her symptoms were mild, explaining that it still felt like she had a 'slight cold,' adding, 'I'm so glad I'm double boosted and double vaxxed'

Back in February, King announced that she had to host the show from the back of a van outside of the studio after she tested positive for the illness, adding at the time that she was completely stunned - since she is 'so freaking careful.'
The reporter said she fell to the floor when she tested positive, revealing she had to 'literally be picked up' off the ground by CBS executive producer Shawna Thomas.
However, the 68-year-old then revealed that she went on to receive 'multiple' negative tests and was still heading off on her 'long planned' vacation to Los Angeles, California, the next day.
She said she decided to film from a van outside, out of an 'abundance of caution.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10890057/Gayle-King-test-positive-COVID-hosting-CBS-Mornings-alongside-colleagues.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-06-06T19:48:05Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10890057/Gayle-King-test-positive-COVID-hosting-CBS-Mornings-alongside-colleagues.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 3 |

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Phio Pharmaceuticals Corp. (Nasdaq: PHIO), a clinical stage biotechnology company developing the next generation of therapeutics based on its proprietary self-delivering RNAi (INTASYL™) therapeutic platform, today presented a trial-in-progress poster describing the study outline of its Phase 1b clinical trial of PH-762, a self-delivering RNAi targeting PD-1, for the treatment of advanced melanoma at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting, which is being held June 3-7, 2022 in Chicago, IL.

Immunotherapy with antibodies targeting immune checkpoints, such as PD-1, has shown significant benefit in late stage melanoma patients. However, further improvements in therapeutic options are still needed. Treatment given as a first step prior to surgery, or neoadjuvant treatment, and local intratumoral (IT) injection are two alternative approaches for improving the outcome of immunotherapy for melanoma patients.
"We are pleased to share the details for the ongoing clinical trial of our lead product, PH-762. As the first-in-human study for an INTASYL immunotherapy compound, the initiation of this study earlier this year marks an important milestone for our broader pipeline and platform," said Dr. Simon Fricker, Phio's VP of Research and Development. "Neoadjuvant therapy may stimulate significant responses that appear to be associated with a decrease in the risk of relapse after surgery. As there is currently no neoadjuvant standard of care for resectable advanced melanoma patients, neoadjuvant treatment with PH-762 provides an alternative therapeutic option to treat these patients."
IT administration of PH-762 to the tumor can stimulate a local immune response in the tumor microenvironment by silencing PD-1 and generating an immune response in distant untreated tumors. Studies conducted by the Company have shown potent silencing of PD-1 and a robust, dose-dependent inhibition of tumor growth. Further, IT injection of PH-762 also has the potential to minimize systemic effects and off-target toxicity, which has been seen with the use of antibodies.
The poster presented at ASCO outlines the design of the Phase 1b study with PH-762 for the treatment of patients with advanced melanoma. The clinical study is being conducted at the Gustave Roussy Institute, one of the largest cancer centers in Europe. The purpose of this study is three-fold: to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of neoadjuvant use of PH-762 administered by IT injection in subjects with resectable advanced melanoma; to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose; and to determine the potential immunologic and pathologic tumor responses. Study treatment will feature a dose escalation of once weekly IT injections of PH-762 for four weeks prior to surgical excision of tumor lesion(s) after treatment with PH-762. Up to five dose levels will be tested in a serial fashion in cohorts of three or more subjects. A Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design will be employed to evaluate escalating doses of PH-762 to determine the maximum tolerated dose level and the dose of PH-762 will be normalized to tumor volume to ensure an equivalent local dose (tumor tissue concentration). Tumor changes will be evaluated per RECIST criteria, adapted for use with IT therapy, and by pathological response.
The poster being presented at ASCO, titled, "A First-in-Human, Phase 1b Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Anti-Tumor Activity of Neoadjuvant Use of PH-762 Administered Intratumorally in Subjects with Advanced Melanoma" will be made available on the "Investors – Events and Presentations" section of the Company's website (click here).
About PH-762
PH-762 activates immune cells to better recognize and kill cancer cells. It does so by reducing the expression of PD-1, a clinically validated target for immunotherapy. PD-1 is expressed by T cells and prevents them from killing cancer cells. When PH-762 reduces PD-1 expression, the "brakes" on the immune system are released and activates the T cells to kill the cancer cells. PH-762 is being developed as a standalone drug therapy with local IT administration to a tumor. In addition, it is also being developed as a critical component of cellular immunotherapy, more specifically to improve tumor cell killing capability of adoptively transferred tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy.

(Nasdaq: PHIO) is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing the next generation of immuno-oncology therapeutics based on its self-delivering RNAi (INTASYL™) therapeutic platform. The Company's efforts are focused on silencing tumor-induced suppression of the immune system through its proprietary INTASYL platform with utility in immune cells and the tumor microenvironment. Our goal is to develop powerful INTASYL therapeutic compounds that can weaponize immune effector cells to overcome tumor immune escape, thereby providing patients a powerful new treatment option that goes beyond current treatment modalities.

PAMPLONA : Argentina forward Lionel Messi scored five goals in a 5-0 friendly win over Estonia on Sunday, an effort which helped him overtake Hungary great Ferenc Puskas in the all-time men’s international top-scorers list.
The former Barcelona player got to shine once more on Spanish soil, in a match played at the El Sadar Stadium in the northern city of Pamplona. Messi, who has now netted 86 times in 162 matches on international duty, opened the scoring with a penalty kick in the eighth minute. He waited for Estonia goalkeeper Matvei Igonen to commit before firing the ball into the bottom right corner.
The 34-year-old Messi (45’) doubled Argentina’s lead just before half-time, adding another goal two minutes into the second half. He completed the rout with two more strikes in the 71st and 76th minute. On the night, the Argentina captain caught up and left behind former Hungary and Spain forward Puskas, who scored 84 goals in 89 matches.
Messi is three goals behind former Malaysia forward Mokhtar Dahari (89), who is third. Iran’s Ali Daei (109) is second in the list while Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo tops the chart with 117 goals.
RESULT: Argentina 5 (L Messi 8(P), 45, 47, 71, 76) bt Estonia 0

The former top leader of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group and other members have been charged with seditious conspiracy for what federal prosecutors say was a coordinated attack on the U.S. Capitol to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory, authorities said Monday.
Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, the former Proud Boys chairman, and four others linked to the group are charged in the latest indictment against them. All five were previously charged with different conspiracy counts.
Tarrio, the group’s top leader, wasn’t in Washington, D.C., when the riot erupted on Jan. 6, 2021. Police arrested Tarrio in Washington two days before the riot and charged him with vandalizing a Black Lives Matter banner at a historic Black church during a protest in December 2020. Tarrio was released from jail on Jan. 14 after serving his five-month sentence for that case.
The new riot-related indictments against Proud Boys members are among the most serious filed so far, but they aren’t the first of their kind.
Eleven members or associates of the anti-government Oath Keepers militia group, including its founder and leader Stewart Rhodes, were indicted in January on seditious conspiracy charges in the Capitol attack.
More than three dozen people charged in the Capitol siege have been identified by federal authorities as Proud Boys leaders, members or associates.

As SC vote nears, Mace has double Arrington's campaign cash
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace is beefing up her campaign coffers in an effort to stave off GOP challenger Katie Arrington in the closing days of the Republican primary race for South Carolina's 1st District.
The freshman Mace has consistently topped the contest for dollars in the 1st Congressional District, which she won back from Democrats in 2020. Mace has taken in more than $4.1 million in contributions through May 25, the deadline for pre-primary fundraising reports, and has $1.4 million cash on hand.
The pre-primary receipts for Arrington, a former state lawmaker who also sought the seat in 2018, amounted to more than $909,000, according to federal filings. More than half of that amount came via a personal loan of $525,000, and Arrington had $607,000 on hand as of May 25.
As they vie for their party’s nomination, both women have been making their case to voters who are either still mulling which of them to pick, or who are already casting ballots. Early voting in South Carolina has been underway since May 31, and more than 28,000 people have already cast primary ballots overall, according to state officials.
Arrington, who went to work at the Department of Defense after her 2018 loss, has largely portrayed herself as a “servant leader” loyal to former President Donald Trump, who is supporting her current bid. Trump backed Mace in 2020 but soured on her following the freshman congresswoman's critical statements about Trump's role in the Capitol violence. The former president campaigned for Arrington this spring and reiterated his support for her last month.
To kick off the GOP primary's only debate, third candidate Lynz Piper-Loomis also threw her support behind Arrington, stripped off her microphone and left the debate stage, whittling down the contest to a head-to-head match.
Additionally, Arrington is backed by Ric Grenell, who served as Trump’s ambassador to Germany. Breaking with his delegation member Mace, U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson has endorsed Arrington, whom he said would be “a tireless advocate for our veterans and the military.”
Along with groups including the National Rifle Association and Club for Growth, Mace is backed by former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who also served as Trump's U.N. ambassador, and helped Mace raise $300,000 during an event earlier this year. Mace also has support from Mick Mulvaney, who served as Trump’s chief of staff, budget director and special envoy to Northern Ireland, as well as GOP congressional leaders including U.S. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and U.S. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise.
A new television ad from Mace wonders if voters can “trust Katie Arrington to keep America safe,” pointing to the suspension of Arrington's security clearance during a Pentagon probe into the exposure of classified information.
Arrington has disputed Mace's characterization of the clearance issue, arguing she had been politically targeted as a Trump supporter after the Democratic administration of President Joe Biden took over the Pentagon.
Another new spot from a political action committee backing Mace points toward Arrington's support of South Carolina's 2017 gas tax overhaul — a stair-step increase aimed at repairing the state's crumbling roads and bridges — during her single term as a state lawmaker.
A recent ad from Arrington featured voters — as customers — seeking a “refund” on their choice of Mace because “she turned her back” on Trump, among other characterizations.
The winner of the GOP contest will go on to face Dr. Annie Andrews in the general election.
With no primary opposition, the Democrat Andrews has been able to continue raising money — more than $920,000, with more than $568,000 on hand as of pre-primary federal filings — and let the GOP contenders feud with each other.

California has gone out of its way to boost voter turnout, with everything from automatic registration at the DMV to jungle primaries with ballots not restricted by political party, and most recently the ultra-convenience of mailing every registered voter in the state a ballot to fill out in their PJs.
But heading into Election Day on Tuesday, none of that seemed to be motivating Californians to vote.
Only about 10% of ballots had been returned as of late last week, and election officials aren’t expecting a late surge of voting in what’s become more of an Election month than day. So even if voters end up returning another 15% of the ballots mailed out last month, Tuesday’s primary could end up claiming the distinction of the Golden State’s lowest primary turnout in 106 years.
For now, the 2014 primary — in a year Gov. Jerry Brown easily won re-election — stands as the lowest, when just 25% of voters statewide bothered to cast a ballot. Gov. Gavin Newsom is up for re-election this year, but after he handily beat back a recall effort just last year, there’s little drama at the top of the ticket.
Paul Mitchell, vice president of voter data firm Political Data Inc., said the trends in returned ballots suggest the state’s effort to boost election turnout for this primary is like an abysmal sports franchise trying to attract fans during a losing streak.
“You can have free parking and lower ticket prices, but if the team isn’t interesting, people aren’t going to show up, and that’s what’s happening here,” Mitchell said. “We came off this really cathartic election cycle in 2020, where voters turned out in large numbers, and the recall where voters turned out in large numbers, and now people are looking at it and they’re, like, ‘meh.’”
Primaries don’t automatically translate to voter apathy. California primary turnout peaked at 73% in June 1976, amid the first post-Watergate presidential race. The state’s highest primary turnout outside a presidential race was for the June 1978 primary when 69% cast ballots in an election that marked voters’ Proposition 13 property tax revolt.
But statewide primary turnout hasn’t topped 60% since 1980, with the highest at 58% in the 2008 presidential primary, the year President Barack Obama was elected. Just 38% of registered voters cast ballots in the state’s last gubernatorial primary in June 2018, the year Newsom was first elected.
That was before the COVID-19 pandemic spurred the Golden State to conduct elections by mail statewide, starting with the November 2020 Biden-Trump presidential election, in which eight out of 10 registered voters cast ballots, the highest turnout since 1976.
California’s second go at an all-mail election was just last fall, when 58% voted in the Sept. 14 special recall election, which Newsom survived with 62% support.
That was the same margin that put Newsom in office in 2018, enough to chase top Republicans like Larry Elder, Kevin Faulconer and John Cox — who ran as replacement candidates in the recall — out of this year’s primary, leaving little sense of serious competition in what would ordinarily be this election’s main attraction.
The GOP’s endorsed alternative to Newsom is state Sen. Brian Dahle, a Lassen County farmer. Among the 24 other contenders, the only candidate with any buzz is Michael Shellenberger, a Bay Area author with no party affiliation who got just 0.5% of the vote running as a Democrat in the 2018 primary.
But turnout looks depressed even where local elections loom large. In Santa Clara County, where San Jose voters have an open race for mayor, just 12% had returned ballots late last week.
Voter interest seemed tepid even in San Francisco, where thefts have spurred an effort to recall District Attorney Chesa Boudin, a far-left former public defender and criminal justice reformer. Matthew Selby, campaign services division manager for the city’s elections department, said less than a week before the election just 13% of ballots had been returned, less than the 17% at the same time in June 2018, suggesting lower turnout.
Nationally, the big event is this year’s congressional mid-term election, where Republicans are hoping to regain control from Democrats, who are on the ropes over runaway inflation and soaring gas prices. A handful of House seats in California are in play.
While voter enthusiasm will undoubtedly grow for November’s general election, statewide turnout for the primary so far is the same with both Democrats and Republicans, at 11%, and just 7% for other voters, according to Political Data. And it’s no better in those competitive districts, such as those held by Republican Reps. David Valadao and Michelle Steel.
California began tinkering with its primary format back in the 1990s to counter trends in party activists electing candidates far to the left or right of most voters. That led to the current “top two” or “jungle” primary enacted 10 years ago for most partisan races where the two candidates with the most votes advance to November, even if they’re from the same party. That happened in 2018 when U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein and fellow Democrat Kevin De Leon were the primary winners.
But polls suggest no such serious competition against an incumbent this year. A Berkeley IGS poll Friday indicated solid leads for Democratic incumbents and no traction for rivals running with no party affiliation. In the governor’s race, Newsom has five times the support of Dahle, who has twice the support of Shellenberger. Likewise, incumbent Attorney General Rob Bonta has a comfortable lead over Republican rivals with no-party prosecutor Anne Marie Schubert far behind.
Mitchell said late last week that he’s not anticipating a last-minute rush to return ballots or an Election Day surge. And to the extent that there is one, it will likely be more Republicans, many of whom don’t trust voting by mail and are more likely to show up at vote centers on Election Day to cast ballots in person.
That is ironic, Mitchell said, “because Democrats used to be the ones who voted late.”
How to Vote
All registered Californians should already have received a ballot in the mail. No stamp or postage is required to mail in the ballot. They must be postmarked no later than June 7 and received by June 14. Ballots also may be dropped off at vote centers and drop boxes. They can be located online at https://caearlyvoting.sos.ca.gov/
Santa Clara, Alameda, San Mateo, Marin and Santa Cruz are among California’s “Voter’s Choice Act” counties that on May 28 opened up additional vote centers where voters can vote in person, drop off their ballot, get a replacement ballot, use an accessible voting machine, get help and voting material in multiple languages and register to vote.
Though the voter registration deadline officially ended May 23, Californians still can conditionally register at election offices and vote centers and cast a provisional ballot on Election Day. Registration status can be checked online at https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/

HOUSTON – On the same day where the Astros announced his six-year contract extension, Yordan Alvarez was named American League Player of the Week.
The honor is for games played the week of May 30-June 5. This is Alvarez’s first time winning this award in his career.
Over that stretch of games, Alvarez batted .565 with four home runs and eight RBI. He also led the major leagues in slugging percentage (1.217) and OPS (1.847) over that time. For the season, Alvarez is currently hitting .295 with 16 home runs, which ranks second in the AL, and 34 RBI, with a 1.015 OPS, which ranks third in the league.
Alvarez becomes the second Astros player to earn the Player of the Week honors this season, joining Alex Bregman, who was honored after the season’s opening week from April 7-10. | https://www.click2houston.com/sports/local/2022/06/06/houston-astros-yordan-alvarez-named-american-league-player-of-the-week/ | 2022-06-06T20:11:37Z | https://www.click2houston.com/sports/local/2022/06/06/houston-astros-yordan-alvarez-named-american-league-player-of-the-week/ | true | null |

The coronavirus pandemic has affected many artists in Jamaica negatively, including the veterans in the business. For example, reggae and dancehall stalwart Sanchez hasn’t graced a local stage for quite some time.
Thankfully, that is about to end soon as he is carded to perform on June 25 at the Jamaica Rum Festival, which is expected to take place at The Aqueduct at Rose Hall, just outside of Montego Bay.
The “Fall in Love” singer is the featured headliner for the event, which also includes a star-studded cast with the likes of Capleton, Romain Virgo, Tessanne Chin, Sevana, and more touching the stage.
Sanchez has been in the game for about four decades now, and even though he is well known, he believes that he still does not get the type of recognition he truly deserves. He recently spoke with the Jamaica Observer about the issue.
“I know that the people of Jamaica love my music because everywhere I go, they show me a lot of love and support. However, I cannot understand why after more than 30 years of success, my country has never seen fit to honour me for the work that I’ve done in reggae music,” he explained.
Even so, he added that despite the lack of recognition for his work in Jamaica, he would continue to represent Jamaica wherever he goes. The “Oh How Sweet” singer said that he believes that God has blessed him with the talent to sing and that he will keep on singing for his fans at home and abroad.
The talented singer, who recently lost his mother, also recently released new music, which is a gospel hit called the “Goodness of God.” The track was produced by Raw Vue Music and was originally recorded by Bethel Music and Jenn Johnson.
It was released in 2019 and peaked at number 19 on the Billboard Christian Airplay Chart and number 15 on the Christian Songs Chart. The track continues to do well and has already been certified gold for sales of more than 500,000 units in the United States.
He explained that when he recorded the track, it was to remind everyone to keep giving thanks to God because God has always been there for them, especially when people need him the most. The “Amazing Grace” singer is also hoping to do a number of overseas shows soon.
Sanchez is one of the greatest singers in reggae/dancehall of all time. With a unique voice and a vast catalog of timeless hits, the singer remains a staple in Jamaican music. | https://stvincenttribune.com/reggae-singer-sanchez-wants-more-respect-from-jamaicans/ | 2022-06-06T20:12:26Z | https://stvincenttribune.com/reggae-singer-sanchez-wants-more-respect-from-jamaicans/ | true | 11 |

Octavia Spencer, 52, says she is 'gutted' as she announces her nephew has died... before asking for 'prayers' for her sister
Hollywood actress Octavia Spencer is mourning the death of her beloved nephew.
The 52-year-old Self Made star shared the heartbreaking news on what she dubbed 'the second-worst day of my life.'
The screen icon uploaded a snapshot of a pink floral arrangement in a jar on her Instagram account alongside a caption that read: 'Grief. You wouldn't know it by this picture that today was the second-worst day of my life.'
'My family lost the first of the next generation of us, and we're gutted. Grief is the most terrifying of emotions because I can't laugh my way out of it.
'I have to feel. Right now, I'm feeling for my sister who lost her only son. Her only child. If you're praying people, pray for her and my brother in law.'
The Hidden Figures star opted to turn the comments section off in respect to her family as they contend with the devastating loss.
The star has six siblings which includes her sisters Rosa and Areka.
They were born in Montgomery, Alabama to mom Dellsena Spencer (1945–1988), who worked as a maid.
Her father died when she was 13.
Octavia - who was born Octavia Lenora Spencer - did not share which sister lost her son, and she did not add the name of her nephew or any additional details about his death.
The tragic news comes just days after the Oscar winner celebrated her 52nd birthday last Wednesday.
Her bitter sweet post, which showed a picture of three balloons caught in her neighbor's tree, acknowledged the happy birthday comments she received and also touched on the tragedies of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and the supermarket shooting in Buffalo, New York.
The Shape Of Water star showed her support and highlighted the importance of needing gun control legislation in the US.
She wrote: 'Thank you all for the outpouring of well wishes and love on my 50th (IMBD age [winky face]) birthday. It's bittersweet.
'This picture was taken on my actual birthday. Some friends stopped by to surprise me with balloons and the wind took them to a neighbor's tree.
'The good Lord knew we needed the laugh considering the terrifying week.
'The tragedies in Buffalo and Uvalde are emblematic of a greater problem in this nation: apathy. We've become desensitized to the evil genie that is gun violence. Clearly, the genie is out of the bottle but it can be stopped. How?
'Well, we have to take its power!! A genie with no magic is just a puff of smoke. Change the damn gun laws. My thoughts and prayers are with those who lost family members this week.' | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2622129717353/octavia-spencer-52-says-she-is-gutted-as-she-announces-her-nephew-has-died-before-asking-for-prayers-for-her-sister | 2022-06-06T20:22:55Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2622129717353/octavia-spencer-52-says-she-is-gutted-as-she-announces-her-nephew-has-died-before-asking-for-prayers-for-her-sister | false | 5 |
There’s nothing quite like a fresh makeover / upgrade to treat your home to a gorgeous new look, especially when the room you’re renovating is the heart of your home: the kitchen. And even though there are a million different things you can do to give your kitchen a fresh new look (countertops, flooring, window treatment, a new island… ), nothing quite beats upgraded kitchen cupboards and cabinetry. How so? Because they are the first things you see upon walking into the space!
But before you rush out and pick out the first cabinets you spot, have you considered your budget? How about those new cupboard sizes, their style and quality, or the construction process? Will you be making use of professional interior designers or exercising your DIY skills instead?
Let’s discover what you need to know before buying new kitchen cupboards.
Did you know that those new kitchen cupboards will eat up about 40 to 50% of your kitchen remodelling project? That means putting some decent thought into what you can spend before buying so much as a cabinet knob!
Knowing exactly how much width and height you have available for your new kitchen cupboards will allow you to give more accurate information to the salesperson at the home centre or kitchen store. True, a professional will come to your home to look at your space, but with the right measurements in hand, you can already start scoping out possible options for your kitchen.
What are the differences between these three?
• Stock cabinets are the least expensive, are constructed in standard shapes and sizes, and are available in a limited number of woods or styles.
• Semi-custom cabinets are factory-built in standard sizes and provide many options for storage, design, and style.
• Custom cabinets is the dream – they are constructed either in a workroom to designer specifications, or on site in any style and finish. However, they also come with a hefty price tag.
Stock cabinets may provide few options beyond drawers and cupboards, yet semi-custom and custom designs offer endless solutions to any space’s storage needs.
Which of these would look great (and offer extra functionality, plus work with your available budget) in your new kitchen: pull-out shelves for pans, a built-in lazy Susan, a wine rack, vertical dividers for trays and cookie sheets..?
If you’re planning on selling your home shortly, you can select a basic style of cabinets (though not too basic that they’ll negatively impact your house’s selling price). However, if this is your forever home and dream kitchen, opt for top-quality construction.
Your kitchen cupboards should have solid frames, door- and drawer fronts, reinforced corners, plus closed backs. Since those cabinet- and cupboard doors will be opened and closed multiple times a day, they need to operate smoothly and quietly.
And the finish on the wood? Super smooth!
You need to walk into that kitchen store (or meet with that professional kitchen planner) with a clear plan in place. Do your research by browsing through homify’s kitchens, looking at interior design magazines and websites, scoping out kitchen designs on Pinterest, etc.
Make sure you pick a style that blends in well with the architecture of your home, as well as the interior design of the other rooms (especially if it’s an open-plan kitchen).
Remember you have options! Your kitchen cupboards can flaunt a number of different designs, colours, woods, textures, patterns, finishes, etc.
For a deluxe kitchen look, consider Linken Designs. Although based in Durban, their portfolio stretches along a number of cities, including Johannesburg and even Sub-Saharan Africa.
Their professional services commence with an initial client consultation – a site visit to gather all information, listen to the client’s requests, measure the work space, etc. Before any construction starts, 3D photo-realistic images of the client’s home are drawn up, giving the client an opportunity to make crucial design changes before any materials are purchased.
These pros even assist with shopping by creating a spec sheet that highlights all the information about where to source the required things to furnish the new space, along with quotations, product codes, etc.
A professional in the interior design industry, Linken Designs ensures full commitment to each project, abide by set deadlines right from the start, and top-notch, tailor-made results as per each client’s requests.

NEC will collaborate with NTT Docomo and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) on 6th generation mobile communication system (6G) experimental trials.
6G will require dramatic advances in communications technology to achieve 10 to 100 times higher speeds and capacities than the 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), with ultra-low power consumption of 1/100 and coverage that reaches from the depths of the ocean to the heights of outer space.
NEC will work with Docomo and NTT on a distributed MIMO technology for utilising the midband of 6GHz or higher to the sub-terahertz band, and OAM multiplex transmission technology that realizes large capacity by spatial multiplexing of high-frequency band radio waves.
NEC will also conduct R&D on device technologies for reducing size and power consumption, as well as high-precision beamforming technologies, transmission methods and propagation models suitable for high-frequency bands.
This is in addition to the development of optimisation and signal processing technologies utilising artificial intelligence (AI).
NEC aims to develop and realize these technologies for supporting the start of 6G services by Docomo and NTT near 2030.
Naoki Tani, executive vice-president and chief technology officer at Docomo, says: “NEC and Docomo have been collaborating since 2014 to verify wireless technologies and create new use cases for commercial launch of 5G. We are delighted to collaborate with NEC as a partner in these trials of 6G technology. Docomo and NTT will now start verification of technologies that enable stable communication in new frequency bands, such as sub-terahertz bands, realize large capacity and contribute to 6G commercialization with vertical industry partners.” | https://it-online.co.za/2022/06/06/6g-experimental-trials-underway-planned/ | 2022-06-06T20:27:02Z | https://it-online.co.za/2022/06/06/6g-experimental-trials-underway-planned/ | false | 1 |
At an event recently, N R Narayana Murthy, the founder of technology services giant Infosys Technologies, said that it is not prudent for businesses to look at initial public offerings or IPOs as a financing round.
A lot of companies go public, creating high expectations before delivering profits. That is because they overestimate the market size for their products or services. Investors read about the company’s market assessment in the draft red herring prospectus, if at all. You would find the company management crowing about prospects in a positive light. A lot of new investors buy into that only to suffer a loss.
Companies like Zomato and One97 Communications, the parent of Paytm, the payment service, are prime examples. Other new-age technology companies too make no profit but hope to have a sky-high market value. Modern-day technology companies should take a leaf out of how Murthy and his founding team took their company public. Managing a business is a lot about managing the expectations of stakeholders.
These include shareholders, bondholders, employees and society. You cannot be on a path of losses and expect investors to support your business. Similarly, you cannot default on loan payments and be a successful bond issuer. You need to do good to employees and society and maintain a credible financial performance.
As an investor, you may wonder about your ability to judge all of that in a business. You are just a minority investor, and it is very little you can do about upholding ‘prudence’ in the company you invest in. However, when investing, you can avoid being reckless. That can be prudence to some extent. Managing risk is a skill that you need to hone to manage your finances.
Risk diversification
You want to create wealth to ensure the financial security of you and your family. If you are responsible for managing the money in your house, you have a responsibility.
You are also dealing with the expectations of family members. Your children may be in school for now, but they would want to pursue a professional career. As a parent, you would like to support their endeavour. You could be living in a big metropolitan city but aspire to move to a bigger living space than now. You need your money to work for you.
The only way you can create wealth for yourselves, in the long run, is by investing in equity assets. They are your only chance to beat inflation over the next 10 to 15 years. Diversification of risk is possible through a portfolio of assets. If you are already into finance, you are aware of asset allocation. You probably may also have a financial advisor for support. They would advise you to spread your risk by putting money across asset classes. When investing in equity, you got an option of buying shares directly or investing through mutual funds or index funds.
If you are new to investing, you must know that taking risks is needed for creating long-term wealth. At the same time, you do not have to research or indulge in stock picking. Investing in gossip is the last thing you need.
The simplest way for you to take risks but diversify simultaneously is to invest through equity mutual funds or index funds. There is no shortcut to wealth. You have to set aside your investible surplus and stay invested regularly.
When to take the risk
Your risk appetite is based on your ability to generate income. If you are confident about that and have a steady income, there is no reason why you cannot invest regularly and create wealth. Prudence suggests avoiding risks when you have income uncertainty. Your priority should be to protect yourself and your loved ones from any financial risk. Building an emergency fund is more than just prudence.
The pandemic of 2020-21 and subsequent lockdowns have proved that an emergency fund should exist in your bank account and be much more than previously thought. Saving money at every step is prudence. Investing is a risk, but it is prudence when done with the proper asset allocation.
When to be Prudent
Your risk appetite is based on your ability to generate income. If you are confident about that and have a steady income, there is no reason why you cannot invest regularly and create wealth. Prudence suggests avoiding risks when you have income uncertainty. Your priority should be to protect yourself and your loved ones from any financial risk.

Oscar Johnson: Dad’s fears for son, 16, missing since ‘going out with mates’ on Saturday
A DEVASTATED father says he's "worried sick" about his son after the teen vanished during a night out with pals.
Oscar Johnson had been for lunch with dad Paul on Saturday before heading out to see friends in Offerton, Greater Manchester.
The 16-year-old, who lives in Stockport, messaged Paul at 10pm to say he wasn't ready to come home yet - but he hasn't been heard from since.
Paul told the Manchester Evening News he's desperate to find out what happened to the teen.
"It's totally out of character," he said.
"I spoke to him on Saturday evening and he wasn't ready to come home. That was about 10pm.
"I said that was fine, I'd speak to him at about 11pm and pick him up then.
"That's the last I heard off him. It's an absolute mystery to us.
"Right now we're absolutely worried sick.
"His phone is off, there are no social media messages that have been read.
Most read in The Sun
"We've been ringing him constantly every few minutes, right through the day and into the night."
Oscar, who took on an apprenticeship after leaving school, had been in good spirits before he disappeared, Paul says.
The youngster is 6ft 2ins tall and of slim build.
He is believed to have been wearing grey tracksuit bottoms and a black jacket when he vanished.
Paul said: "He can be a bit of a grumpy teenager but he's content, he's happy with his job, he really likes the lads he works with.
"We had been for a bit of lunch on Saturday and he was having a laugh and looking forward to his birthday next month. He was just happy.
'SICK WITH WORRY'
"On Saturday night his mum was beside herself. I was just calming her down.
"I said maybe he has just fallen asleep and we'll pick him up in the morning - he wouldn't do this."
Paul repeatedly returned to Oscar's mum's house throughout the evening to see if he'd turned up - but there were "no signs" of him.
"I went back the following morning and as the hours and days have gone on, that's when I rang the police," he said.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed it received a report on Oscar's disappearance on Sunday.

SRINAGAR: Though the Centre has started shifting Kashmiri Pandit staffers under the PM job scheme in the Valley to various district headquarters in Kashmir in the wake of the recent targeted killings, it has now emerged that about 60-70% of them fled to Jammu in recent weeks. The Pandits wanted transfers to Jammu but the Centre rejected the demand.
Some Pandits say the security situation is worse today than it was in 1990.“This fear was not prevalent in 1990 when the first migration of Pandits took place,” said Ranjan, a Kashmiri Pandit employee in Anantnag district. “Due to fear, we are unable to move out from our locations.” He said in the 1990s, it was clear who the terrorists were.
But today, the situation has changed due to hybrid terrorists—radicalised civilians who carry out attacks while leading normal lives. He claimed about 60-70% of 5,500 Pandits have left Kashmir. Jagti Tenement Committee Jammu president Shadi Lal confirmed 60-70% of Pandit employees have reached Jammu. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/jun/06/amid-targeted-killings-70-per-centkashmiri-pandit-employees-flee-valley-2462250.html | 2022-06-06T20:37:28Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/jun/06/amid-targeted-killings-70-per-centkashmiri-pandit-employees-flee-valley-2462250.html | false | 1 |

US men’s soccer team calls for Congress to address gun violence
The U.S. men’s national team (USMNT) is calling on lawmakers to address the scourge of gun violence following the recent string of mass shootings in the U.S.
In a letter sent on Sunday, the soccer team’s players and staff called on Congress to vote for gun reforms, noting that most of them play professionally overseas and are often asked why America can’t take any action to address this issue.
“As athletes who have the privilege of traveling the globe representing the greatest country in the world, we are often asked how in a place like the United States there can be such horrific gun violence. We are also asked why the representatives of the people do nothing even though most Americans want them to take action,” the letter reads.
“Those of us who play professionally abroad experience none of these things in our daily lives, yet we return home to a place where mass shootings are frighteningly common and the victims are often defenseless children,” it adds.
The USMNT also said in its letter that gun violence has created a mental health strain on children, parents and educators who wonder if they or someone they love will be the next victim of a mass shooting. It added that not using its platform to talk about this issue would be “irresponsible,” saying that it was doing so due to lawmakers’ neglect of the matter.
“Our ability to affect change is limited, but yours is not. You could vote this week to address gun violence in America, and in fact, you will be given that opportunity. In the coming days, the U.S. House of Representatives is voting on several bills that would address this serious issue,” the letter reads. “Please vote yes on all the bills being considered.”
The letter comes as the U.S. has seen a recent wave of mass shootings in the past few weeks, with major incidents occurring in Uvalde, Texas; Buffalo, N.Y.; and Philadelphia.
President Biden pleaded to Congress last week to address this issue urgently, asking them to pass laws expanding background checks, implementing a national “red flag” law system and banning assault rifles.
A bipartisan group of senators has already started discussions on creating gun reform legislation in response to the mass shootings.
Other professional sports teams and leagues such as the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles have also used their platform to call for gun reform.
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation.

$315 Million in Medicine and Medical Supplies, $14.7 Million in Direct Financial Assistance Provided in First Three Months of War
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In the three months since Russian forces began their invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, Direct Relief has been one of the largest charitable providers of medical aid to Ukraine, delivering more than 650 tons (1.3 million pounds) of medicines and supplies with a wholesale value of more than $315 million.
The medical aid includes 101 million defined daily doses of medicine, including antibiotics, insulin, mental health medicines, cancer treatments, chemical weapons antidotes, COVID-19 treatment and more.
Direct Relief has also provided over $14.7 million in direct financial assistance to other organizations in the region. The cash assistance has included direct payments for Ukrainian refugees in Poland to cover prescription medication copays, as well as operating funds for health facilities providing care in Ukraine.
"Direct Relief's three-month report on humanitarian assistance to Ukraine reflects the generosity of an extensive private coalition of individuals and businesses globally," said Direct Relief President and CEO Thomas Tighe.
As the war continues, Direct Relief is approaching the response along two parallel tracks – supporting people experiencing the conflict inside Ukraine, and for who have fled Ukraine to neighboring countries.
Direct Relief last week published a report detailing the medicine, supplies and financial assistance donated, as well as a summary of financial contributions received from individuals, corporations and others.
As of May 24, Direct Relief has received 117,611 Ukraine-designated financial contributions totaling $79,624,504 from individuals, foundations, businesses, and organizations located in 79 countries (including Ukraine, the Russian Federation, and Belarus as well as all U.S. states and territories). The contributions came from 91,822 donors, some of which were aggregations of donations from countless individuals. For example, millions of individuals who play Fortnite contributed to these efforts through in-game purchases and subscriptions, which were aggregated and donated to Direct Relief by Epic Games.
Consistent with Direct Relief's Donation Policies, 100 percent of funds received for specific emergency situations are devoted entirely to those situations, and none of these funds are used for fundraising.
Thus far, of the total Ukraine-designated cash contributions received to date, Direct Relief has expended or committed $21.1 million to improve the health and lives of people affected by the war. Among the uses of funds are $14.7 million in financial assistance to organizations supporting Ukrainians and Ukrainian refugees (including $10 million for prescription medication costs for refugees in Poland) and $2.4 million on procurement of oxygen concentrators, emergency medic packs, and other supplies.
When the war erupted, Direct Relief quickly established contact with the Ministries of Health of Moldova, Poland, Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia, as well as nonprofits in these countries, in order to provide support for the health-related needs of refugee populations.
Direct Relief expects it will take years for Ukraine's health systems and its people to recover from the war's destruction, and the organization is planning for a multi-year response.
"Direct Relief will continue to provide assistance to the Ukrainian people, both those who remain in Ukraine as well as those who have fled the country and may be unable to return for years to come," Tighe said.
Corporate Support
Direct Relief's ability to furnish a large portion of the extensive medical material support without the expenditure of donor funds was due to the in-kind donations from healthcare manufacturers and distributors, many of which Direct Relief works with on an ongoing basis.
Healthcare company donors responded expansively to requests for their participation. Included among them are 3M, Abbott, AbbVie, Accord Healthcare, Ajanta Pharma, Alvogen, Amgen, Apotex, AstraZeneca, Baxter International, Bayer, Becton Dickerson, Boehringer Ingelheim Cares, Covidien, Eli Lilly & Company, GSK, Hikma, ICU Medical, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, LifeScan, McKesson Medical-Surgical, Medtronic, Merck & Co., Merck KGaA, MSD, Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, Sanofi, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Unilever, and Viatris.
In addition, the State of California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) donated seven Field Hospital Content Kits. Each kit contains the equipment needed to set up a 50-bed field hospital, and the hospitals have been deployed to high conflict areas.
Information Assistance
In addition to the provision of medical material and financial aid in response to the crisis, Direct Relief has been a critical supplier of information. Within Ukraine, Direct Relief assisted with crowdsource data collection on the needs of internally displaced persons, including their origins and destinations, and access to key services and goods including health care, food, water, shelter, and livelihoods.
At the same time, Direct Relief has also collected data on the needs and goods availability of over 950 private pharmacies throughout Ukraine over the past 2.5 months, including many located in areas of significant conflict. The pharmacy data has been incorporated into the cross-validation of MOH needs lists. Important insights were shared with first responders, healthcare partners, and Ukrainian health officials, as well as with United Nations agencies and international assistance organizations to help them determine how to best prioritize and deploy their respective resources. Key analysis sharing partners include the World Bank, UNICEF, UNHCR, IOM, the Health Cluster, Mercy Corps, and others.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Vehicles traveling in funeral processions no longer have to pay tolls on New Hampshire highways.
Gov. Chris Sununu signed an executive order Monday exempting vehicles that are part of a funeral procession from tolls. He said the idea came from representatives from the Veterans of Foreign Wars as a way to ease the pain of grieving families traveling to pay final respects.
Under the order, the lead car in any funeral procession must stop, identify themselves and inform the toll attendant of how many vehicles are part of the procession. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Executive-order-exempts-funeral-processions-from-17223150.php | 2022-06-06T20:51:48Z | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Executive-order-exempts-funeral-processions-from-17223150.php | true | null |
- Informative guide by The Michael J. Fox Foundation offers simple tips for boosting brain health, misconceptions about taking care of the brain and symptoms to monitor as you get older.
- New resource also breaks down what it means to be at risk for brain disease, including definitions and personal profiles outlining the risk factors for Parkinson's.
- Access the free guide at michaeljfox.org/brainhealth
NEW YORK, June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF) launches a comprehensive and expert guide on protecting and preserving brain health and how to manage risk factors for brain disease, including Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease. "Better Brain Health — A Guide to Caring for Your Magnificent Brain at Every Age" was created in response to a growing body of scientific evidence that there is so much an individual can do today to better care for their brain and limit their risk for disease. Full of practical tips and expert advice, the free guide (michaeljfox.org/brainhealth) is aimed at educating anyone, at any age on boosting brain health.
"As someone who cared for their mother who lived with Parkinson's, I know firsthand the many questions and concerns family members have about our own brain health," said Jaronda Little, 51, fine arts school outreach officer of Birmingham, Alabama, guide contributor and research volunteer. "We can only find a cure for this disease if we participate in research and educate ourselves on what we can do today to boost our own brain health. My advice to people and families with or without a Parkinson's connection is to use this guide as a place to start and empower each other to care for our brain."
Written by MJFF Senior Vice President of Medical Communications and board-certified neurologist Rachel Dolhun, MD, the in-depth guide contains diverse personal reflections from people and families with and without PD, and those who are currently managing their own risk for disease. This new resource also offers practical information on understanding every aspect of brain health, including:
- Learning the complexity of the brain, age-related brain conditions, and what to ask your doctor about your own brain health;
- Exploring simple and effective ways to boost brain health through everyday activities and behaviors;
- Acknowledging how to limit and live with personal risk factors for brain disease; and
- Sharing the latest research speeding Parkinson's disease understanding, improved therapies and prevention.
"Many people and families — both with and without Parkinson's — think about brain health for different reasons. Whether you simply want to keep your brain as healthy as possible or you worry about the potential for disease, such as Parkinson's, there are easy and effective steps you can take in your everyday life to care for your brain," said Rachel Dolhun, MD. "The Michael J. Fox Foundation's latest resource provides information and tools to empower everyone, no matter your age or whether you live with disease, to learn more about and support brain health."
The free guide is available to download at michaeljfox.org/brainhealth.
Increased understanding of Parkinson's biology could transform the future of brain disease research and would help set the groundwork for preventive therapies and better treatments. Scientists know that age is the biggest risk factor for developing brain diseases, including Parkinson's. Today, an estimated six million people worldwide live with Parkinson's, a number that is expected to double by the year 2040 due to an aging population. With the number of people impacted by Parkinson's increasing, resources to better understand how to protect our brain health and limit risk are urgently needed.
It is estimated that as many as 80 percent of cells producing dopamine — a brain chemical that fuels movement, mood, motivation and more — may be damaged by the time of an official Parkinson's diagnosis. Studying people who have not received a Parkinson's diagnosis and who do not display the common movement symptoms of the disease but who live with certain risk factors are invaluable to researchers and drug developers working toward preventive treatments. These risk factors include: being a man over age 60; ongoing smell loss; genetic mutations in LRRK2 and/or GBA; diagnosis of REM sleep behavior disorder (acting out dreams while asleep); veteran service in the military; and having a first-degree family member (parent, brother or sister, child) with Parkinson's disease.
In December 2021, MJFF announced a major expansion of its landmark study, the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI). It aims to characterize Parkinson's risk by studying cohorts representative of the full spectrum of disease — those not diagnosed but living with risk factors; those recently diagnosed; and those with progressing disease. The $450-million study aims to triple its enrollment to include the largest cohort ever assembled of individuals "at risk" for Parkinson's disease. Educational resources for individuals — young or old, living with disease or not — to feel empowered to take steps today to care for their brain and understand how research like PPMI is bringing the field one step closer to a cure and even disease prevention are urgently needed.
"If I told you a simple action you take today could change everything about how Parkinson's disease is diagnosed, managed and treated — not decades from now, but in the near future — would you do it?" said Michael J. Fox in his authored opinion piece, "We Can Help Prevent Parkinson's Disease," in USA Today and featured in the guide. "We're on a mission to solidify our early understanding of who's at risk for Parkinson's, who gets it, who doesn't and why. But this requires a new level of public participation."
As the world's largest nonprofit funder of Parkinson's research, The Michael J.

Doctor 'traumatised' woman with request to remove veil
- Published
A doctor who left a female patient "traumatised" when he told her to remove her veil has an "impaired" fitness to practise, a tribunal ruled.
Dr Keith Wolverson was dishonest in his response to the woman's complaint and also wrote inappropriate comments about several patient's language skills, it was concluded.
At the time, in 2018, he was working as a locum in Derby and Stoke-on-Trent.
Dr Wolverson had denied his actions had impaired his fitness to practise.
Sanctions may now be imposed on his registration by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS).
The medic had been working in urgent care centres in the cities, having qualified as a GP in 1999.
He admitted recording inappropriate comments about patients' English language skills between January and April 2018, the tribunal said.
They included "I do not understand a word these parents are saying" and "absolutely abysmal English".
While the tribunal found there was no evidence the doctor let his personal views affect his treatment, it decided the patients would have been shocked and upset if they read the notes.
'Traumatised'
Dr Wolverson admitted asking the woman to remove her veil, that he caused her to do so and apologised during the MPTS for any upset he caused her.
The tribunal ruled he made the request despite her objections and knowing her English was not poor but in an email dishonestly claimed he struggled to understand her.
The woman, who wore the veil for religious reasons, said in her evidence the doctor's actions had left her "traumatised".
Several of the allegations amounted to serious misconduct and brought the medical profession into disrepute, the MPTS decided.
They also concluded there was a risk of Dr Wolverson might have repeated his actions.

Apple just debuted watchOS 9 during the company's WWDC 2022 keynote speech, and lots of fitness features were announced as part of the reveal -- including a new triathlon-focused multisport mode.
This new mode allows your Apple Watch to seamlessly switch between swimming, cycling, and running during your race or training.
This new feature is in addition to a series of other advanced fitness features, including a new Power metric that detects the amount of effort you're generating. This can be measured across lots of different sports, and you can set yourself a target of beating your previous efforts, with each workout's Power level automatically saved.
Other new stats include three new running metrics made possible via machine learning, which isolates your torso's movements from your arm swing. These metrics are vertical oscillation, stride length, and ground contact time, which work together to provide a complete picture of your run, Apple says.
In the future, you might be able to use this information to purchase the right pair of running shoes for you.
Analysis: The Apple Watch 8 could move into Garmin's territory
The Apple Watch, in all its iterations, has set the gold standard for everyday-use smartwatches. If you're out and about, checking emails and messages as well as fitting lots of workouts into your week, it's hard to beat (providing you're already invested in the Apple economy).
Serious triathletes and trail-runners have always opted for specialist GPS sports watches, however, and Garmin is by far the biggest name here.
The option of a dedicated triathlon multi-sport mode, and more advanced metrics tailor-made for those deadly serious about their workouts, is intriguing. Your average park-runner isn't going to care about their vertical oscillation ... but someone gunning for their best-ever sprint tri race time certainly might.
The recent launch of the Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar and 255 has set the standard for multi-sport watches. If Apple Watch 8 is coming down the pipeline in September, it might be geared as much towards dedicated athletes as it is desk-bound weekend warriors. And if that's the case, Garmin better be ready for a fight. | https://www.techradar.com/nz/news/apple-takes-on-garmin-with-new-watchos-9-triathlon-fitness-features | 2022-06-06T20:58:13Z | https://www.techradar.com/nz/news/apple-takes-on-garmin-with-new-watchos-9-triathlon-fitness-features | true | 1 |
Mickelson the last to sign up for Saudi-funded golf league
By DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
Phil Mickelson, a chief recruiter for a Saudi-funded rival league to the PGA Tour, is ending his four-month hiatus by adding his name to the 48-man field for the LIV Golf Invitational that starts Friday outside London.
Mickelson will be joining Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia and three other former major champions in a 54-hole tournament at Centurion Golf Club with $25 million in prize money and $4 million going to the individual winner.
“I am ready to come back to play the game I love but after 32 years this new path is a fresh start, one that is exciting for me at this stage of my career,” Mickelson said in a statement posted on social media.
Mickelson also said he would be playing the last two majors, starting June 16 in the U.S. Open at The Country Club outside Boston.
He said the “transformative” new league would allow him to focus on a healthier approach to life on and off the course. Mickelson did not mention the signing fee, which is likely to be every bit of the $125 million or more reportedly paid to Johnson.
It will be Mickelson’s first time playing since Feb. 6 at the Saudi International, where he first began to draw attention to how he was leaning when he accused the PGA Tour of “obnoxious greed” in an interview with Golf Digest.
Two weeks later, Alan Shipnuck published excerpts from his unauthorized biography on Mickelson in which the six-time major champion acknowledged Saudi Arabia’s human rights atrocities, including the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, but said it was worth getting involved if it meant gaining leverage to make changes on the PGA Tour.
Mickelson also said he and three other top players paid attorneys to write the operating agreement of the new league. He later apologized for what he said were reckless comments, without mentioning the PGA Tour.
But then he was out of view for four months, skipping the Masters and the PGA Championship, which he had won the year before at age 50 to become the oldest major champion in history.
Mickelson apologized again in Monday’s statement, adding that he “empathizes” with those who disagree with his decision to leave the PGA Tour for a league funded primarily by the Public Investment Fund in Saudi Arabia.
“His contributions to the sport and connection to fans around the globe cannot be overstated and we are grateful to have him,” said Greg Norman, the CEO and commissioner of LIV Golf Investments. “He strengthens an exciting field for London where we’re proud to launch a new era for golf.”
The PGA Tour did not grant releases for any of its 14 members who have signed up for the rival series, a list that also includes Louis Oosthuizen, Martin Kaymer and Charl Schwartzel.
Five other players from the Asian Tour were added as exemptions.
Even as Mickelson was the leader in trying to get players to join, his name was left off the original field list that was released on Tuesday. The Daily Telegraph reported Johnson, at No. 15 the highest-ranked player in the world, received upward of $125 million to join.
The decision likely means the end of Mickelson’s career on the PGA Tour because players who defect are likely to face suspensions for violating tour regulations by playing overseas without a release.
Mickelson has 45 career PGA Tour victories and has amassed nearly $100 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour and PGA Tour Champions. He won his first tour event in 1991 when he was an amateur at Arizona State and his most recent title last year at the PGA.
The LIV Golf Invitational is the first of eight such tournaments, with five of them scheduled for the United States, two of them on courses owned by former President Donald Trump.
At least six players in the field already have resigned their PGA Tour memberships. Kevin Na announced his decision on social media. The manager for Garcia, Oosthuizen, Schwartzel and Branden Grace said they have resigned, too.
As much as he was promoting a new concept, Mickelson appeared to be the one who caused the Saudi league to lose momentum with his interviews in February that disparaged the Saudis (“scary mother-(expletives)”) and the PGA Tour (“A dictatorship. They divide and conquer.”)
All the top players — including Johnson — initially pledged their support for the PGA Tour. Johnson later changed his mind.

ITV2 Love Island viewers complained about the show's new public vote format as the 2022 series began on Monday night.
In a change to the usual structure, for the new series instead of having men pick the bikini babes themselves before heading into the villa, the public has been asked to pair up the couples in a national vote.
And the pairings, as revealed at the start of the ITV2 show, have left a lot of viewers feeling put out.

That's because two black women were immediately paired up with two black men and a lot of people watching felt that the public did it deliberately in a form of racism.
@ayeshamarie said: "Not the public voting the black guys with the black girls"
@fikayoA said: "The way all the black people will recouple so fast lmaooo"
@kxmolo said: "The public hates Black people. You couldn’t have paired Dami with Indiyah ?"
@UTDryanxx said: "is so predictable, the two black boys coupled up with two black girls, voted by the public. Deffo racially motivated"
@JDsuker said: "Public are like, right, we’ll couple the 2 black lads with the 2 black girls, jobs a gooden!"
@narcography said: "This is the definition of reverse racism. We don’t want this black love"
@nalaalalaa said: "If you guys was gonna group the black ppl with eachother, you could’ve put my sis Indiyah with Dami instead. She is not feeling this man and his ‘ah yeah’"
@233babe said: "Na cause why did the public pair the black people with other blacks somethings not right"
@miss_bavu said: "Of course the British put the black people together. Can’t trust them with anything"
And it even led some fans to accuse ITV2 of changing the format to the new public vote only because of the issue of 'black girls being picked last' in previous series, and show bosses trying to avoid that situation again. If that was the reason, viewers saw right through it.
@_slaylo said: "they did this coupling this way so that we couldn’t complain the black girls got picked last"
@monb_music said: "I just realised why love island changed it to this way…. So that the black women don’t get picked last anymore and that theirs no complaints… they tried to be slick"
@J_eauxan said: "This whole public choosing was just to avoid the bad press on the black girl always being picked last. They ain’t slick"

Abortion wasn't always controversial. In fact, in colonial America it would have been considered a fairly common practice. But in the mid-1800s, a small group of physicians set out to change that.

1899 Teaser: A High-Seas Horror Series From Dark Duo Jantje Friese And Baran Bo Odar
If you've been missing "Dark" since the series ended its Netflix run in 2020, good news: creators Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar are back with what looks to be an ultra-creepy, mystery-horror follow-up in "1899."
Inspired by the ongoing European migrant crisis, the show is set at the turn of the twentieth century on a steamship heading from London to New York City. The passengers are fleeing a variety of untenable situations in their home countries, hoping to build a new life for themselves in America. But their crossing goes awry when they encounter another migrant ship making its way across the Atlantic. That's when things go well and truly bonkers.
Just how bonkers? Take a look at this just-released teaser...
A hellish Atlantic crossing
Rather than cleanly lay out the premise, Friese and bo Odar are looking to hook potential viewers on dread-inducing mood and nightmarish imagery. Thus far, we're buying what they're selling. It appears Moira Franklin (Emma Beecham) will serve as the ensemble series' lead. We don't see much, but judging from the bruises on her wrists and that quick cut to her being strapped into a chair, she's definitely carrying more than a little psychic baggage with her to the Big Apple. There's also a hint of a supernatural presence on at least one of the ships, and a culturally diverse cast that, according to Friese, will speak their native language (rather than default to English).
In a 2021 interview with Deadline, Friese explained, "It really had to be a European collaboration, not just cast but also crew. We felt that with the past years of Europe being on the decline, we wanted to give a counterpoint to Brexit, and to nationalism rising in different countries, to go back to that idea of Europe and Europeans working and creating together." This sounds both ambitious and awesome! Cap it off with the teaser's final shot of a ship swirling around the rim of a massive whirlpool, and "1899" looks like another can't-miss series from two of the most exciting television producers working today.
"1899" is currently slated to debut this autumn/winter. If you somehow missed Friese and bo Odar's "Dark," all three seasons are waiting to blow your mind right this moment on Netflix.
Get on it!
A visually stunning Odyssee where nothing is as it seems. The makers of the internationally acclaimed series "Dark", take us to the year "1899" aboard the Kerberos.
