New executive brings commercialization expertise to ground-breaking digital therapeutics company
KIRKLAND, Wash., June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Freespira, Inc., maker of the first FDA-cleared digital therapeutic treatment for panic attacks, panic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), today announced the appointment of Joseph Perekupka as Chief Executive Officer.
With nearly 20 years of established commercial leadership, Perekupka will oversee the next stage of growth for Freespira. Perekupka previously held executive roles in digital health and life science organizations, including serving as the Senior Vice President of North America for Brainsway, a global leader in advanced noninvasive neurostimulation for mental health disorders. At Brainsway, Perekupka was responsible for building out the company's U.S. subsidiary and leading a successful sales operation to four years of consistent revenue growth, as well as playing a critical role in completing Brainsway's U.S. initial public offering in 2019.
"Freespira's mission – to provide relief for people suffering from the life-impairing symptoms of panic disorder and PTSD – has never been more urgent," said Perekupka. "I'm thrilled to lead the team as we accelerate Freespira's growth and ensure that our clinically proven, life-changing digital therapeutic reaches more patients and empowers millions to live the better, fuller lives they deserve."
Most recently, Perekupka served as Chief Commercial Officer at Eversana, a pioneer in next generation commercial services for the global life sciences industry. "Their Complete Commercialization program provides a unique partnership with startup organizations to create a successful launch strategy," Perekupka said. Perekupka has also served in contributing roles for the Digital Therapeutics Alliance and DTx societies.
"Joe is an innovation-focused leader with a track record of success in behavioral health, medical device and digital therapeutics commercialization," said Russell Siegelman, Chairman of the Board, Freespira. "His industry knowledge, combined with his passion for the work that we do, will help us reach our goal of making Freespira more broadly accessible to patients seeking an effective, medication-free approach to address their panic disorder and PTSD symptoms."
Freespira is transforming the treatment of panic disorder and PTSD by addressing the underlying physiological cause of these conditions. As an alternative to medications and therapy, the treatment normalizes breathing irregularities developed in response to underlying carbon dioxide (CO2) hypersensitivity, which contributes to the symptoms of panic disorder and PTSD. Freespira provides users with real-time physiological feedback-based training to regulate their respiration rate and exhaled CO2 levels. Telehealth coaching also guides patients through the care journey to deliver maximum benefit from the twice-daily treatment, which is completed in 28 days.
Freespira, Inc. is the maker of Freespira, the only FDA-cleared digital therapeutic proven to significantly reduce or eliminate symptoms of panic attacks, panic disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in just 28 days by training users to normalize respiratory irregularities.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — When the last out of his first shutout in five years was secured, Michael Wacha pumped his fist and sought out catcher Christian Vázquez for a congratulatory embrace.
Wacha pitched a three-hitter and the streaking Boston Red Sox beat Los Angeles 1-0 on Monday night to hand the Angels their 12th straight defeat.
“Wins like this, yeah, Michael was the star, he was amazing for us,” Boston manager Alex Cora said. “But this was a total team effort. A 1-0 game, nine innings, nowadays you don’t see that. I’m just glad that I’m part of it.”
Vázquez hit an RBI single in the second as the Red Sox won their fifth in a row.
The Angels matched their longest slide in a single season, last done to end the 1988 schedule.
Los Angeles star Mike Trout had a first-inning single off Wacha to end an 0-for-26 drought, the longest hitless run of his career.
Wacha, who hadn’t worked into the eighth inning since 2018, threw 105 pitches for his second career complete game in 190 starts and first since a three-hit shutout for St. Louis at the New York Mets on July 18, 2017.
It was the first complete-game shutout by a Boston pitcher in three years. The veteran right-hander outdueled Noah Syndergaard, who went six strong innings for Los Angeles, and lowered his ERA to 1.99 in his first season with the Red Sox.
“You’ve got to have confidence in this game to get it done,” Wacha said. “I feel like with what my pitches are doing right now, and how it’s playing against certain hitters, I felt like if we can get early outs and get the strikeout whenever we need it, things like this can happen.”
The gem came in Wacha’s fourth start since returning from a stint on the injured list because of soreness in his left side.
“My last start, things were coming out how I was used to it and just continue to build off those previous starts after coming off the IL,” Wacha said. “That is what I was more satisfied with. Now continue to build off this one and take some stuff from here and work on it.”
Trout snapped his slump his first time up, but the Los Angeles offense mustered little else in the opener of a seven-game homestand.
“He’s arguably one of the best players, top three, and maybe the best by the end of time,” Angels manager Joe Maddon said about Trout. “And today he was taking (batting practice) at 12:30 against guys we had to bring in to throw to him. That tells you about the motivation.”
Wacha (4-1) issued one walk and had six strikeouts in his second scoreless outing against the Angels this season. The former Cardinals standout went 5 2/3 shutout innings against Los Angeles at home on May 3.
Syndergaard (4-4) gave up five hits with one walk and three strikeouts. The former New York Mets star also matched up against Wacha on May 3, giving up three runs on eight hits over seven innings while taking the loss.
The Angels appeared to be in business in the first inning, getting consecutive one-out singles from Shohei Ohtani and Trout. But then Ohtani was doubled off second base to end the threat after Jared Walsh lined out to first baseman Franchy Cordero.
“I obviously think we’re playing hard. We’re not winning games right now,” Maddon said. “But I’m not going to denigrate the effort by the guys.”
The Red Sox used Alex Verdugo’s speed to score in the second. Verdugo singled leading off the inning and was attempting to steal second with two outs when Vázquez singled toward the gap in left-center. Trout cut off the ball but Verdugo scored anyway ahead of the throw home.
Wacha threw a pair of 96 mph fastballs while striking out Ohtani in the sixth inning and a 94 mph fastball while striking out Jo Adell to end the eighth.
“Anytime (Ohtani) steps in the box, you’re on full awareness out there on the mound and you have to make really, really quality pitches to him,” Wacha said.
He completed the outing by getting Ohtani on a grounder to second base before greeting Vázquez near the first-base line.
“That was fun. It was awesome tonight,” Vázquez said. “A complete-game shutout is very special for everybody. That helps the team and the bullpen guys a lot more. We started the right way this series.”
HIDDEN FIGURES
Wacha tossed just the 10th complete game in the majors this season, fifth that was a shutout. Boston has three complete games, most for the Red Sox since throwing five in 2017. Nathan Eovaldi and Nick Pivetta pitched one apiece this season.
It was Boston’s first complete-game shutout since Chris Sale’s three-hitter at Kansas City on June 5, 2019. Wacha’s 105 pitches were his most since throwing 113 for the Cardinals against Colorado on Aug 25, 2019.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Red Sox: Sale remains on schedule to throw a bullpen Tuesday in Florida before facing hitters in batting practice Friday. … LHP James Paxton played catch after throwing from 120 feet over the weekend and is in line to throw off a mound by next week, according to Cora.
Angels: 3B Anthony Rendon (wrist), eligible to come off the injured list, fielded grounders before batting practice but there is no timetable for his return.
UP NEXT
Red Sox: RHP Garrett Whitlock (2-1, 3.02 ERA), who had a career-best nine strikeouts against the Angels on May 4, will start Tuesday in Anaheim.
Angels: Had not yet announced a starter for Tuesday.

Employers of dreams.
It's no secret that working in hospitality is a tough trudge at the best of times, with the post-pandemic hangover only making things more difficult. Staff shortages and rising costs of food and pretty much everything else needed to run a restaurant are making things increasingly harder for workers, with potential Karens ready and waiting to pounce at any given moment.
So, naturally, this good news story came as a pleasant surprise of a post-bank holiday Tuesday.
Kakilang on Bachelors Walk, known for their bubble tea, Taiwanese fried chicken steak and soufflé pancakes are treating their staff to a trip away this week, as a way of celebrating all the hard work they do.
(the pancakes in question:)
In 2021, the Taiwanese eatery treated their staff to a staycation around this time, and now they're continuing the tradition with a day trip to Milan in sunny Italia for their team - just before their peak busy season kicks in.
In a post on Instagram, the directors said that the tradition was about team bonding, and "giving back a little something to our hard working employees" for maintaining product standards and handling the stress of peak hours in a busy Dublin restaurant.
Kakilang will close tomorrow (June 8th) for their day trip, and also teased some "exciting news to announce" in their recent post. Possibly a second location? We'll have our eyes peeled for more info.

London’s underground club scene has long fostered some of Britain’s most underrated talent when it comes to creating banging parties with big cult followings. Depending on your interests – whether you love jazz and want to vibe out every Monday at Orii Jam, or jump about to the skittish beats of drum and bass, house and more at Keep Hush – there are many niche places to have fun around London.
Many of the city’s clubbers find their tribes at these events, tucked away in venues as disparate as swanky hotel rooftops and industrial, subterranean venues. But, despite the range of events on offer, there’s always been a problem – especially for POCs, women, queer and non-binary people – in finding parties and spaces where you can truly, and safely, let your hair down.
In a city where we champion diversity, it’s surprisingly hard to find nights that reflect that representation musically. Hop into any club on the Soho strip and you’ll likely hear a higgledy-piggledy collection of pop tunes, new and old, while the continued rise of rap’s popularity has produced an outpouring of club nights designed for those fans. If you’re looking to dance the night away to other genres, though, you’ll have to dig much deeper.
Luton-born Sikh-Punjabi Sukhchain Sohal is a huge fan of commercial club hits, but also the energetic bhangra he grew up around, inheriting his love for the genre from his older brother. There has only been one time when he’s heard the latter played on a night out – at a club night called Milkshake while he was at university at Aston University in Birmingham. That experience finally made Sohal feel seen in a club setting.
“Being a Sikh who wears a turban makes me distinctively different visually; therefore when growing up I never really fitted in and got used to [that],” the content creator (and avid clubber) tells NME. But going to university in Birmingham, he entered the underground club circuit, finding small parties with his friends that showed him the power of his culture.
Sohal praises multi-genre DJ and fellow South Asian Yung Singh, who has been a force for cultural change in London’s club scene. Known more for their Asian-fusion mixes blending popular underground club genres (dancehall, house, trap, amapiano and more), he’s a part of a wider collective called the Daytimers with Gracie T and DJ Priya, who are forcing space for Asian music in the everyday club scene.
“Yung Singh [performing] was extremely inspiring, and the events [I found] definitely helped me fit into spaces that I thought I was alien to previously,” Sohal explains. “I felt like there was a big shift after the Yung Singh presents Daytimes Boiler Room [event], which allowed the first [edition of the] South Asian festival [Dialled In] to happen.”
The 28-year-old also credits Singh with revitalising the kind of songs from his culture that gets played at parties: “He’s been able to replace the overplayed ‘Mundian To Bach Ke’ by Panjabi MC with an arsenal of Punjabi bangers, and also provided inspiration of how these could be blended into the contemporary club hits.”
DJing can have a powerful effect on a crowd, but getting behind the decks can be daunting – especially if you don’t fit the status quo. For women, in particular, there are difficulties in being noticed or being taken seriously, as Brixton multi-genre DJ EllaDHC found when she diverted her career as a photographer to learn how to blend dancehall tunes with timeless ‘90s and ‘00s feel-good classics, invoking mind-boggling reactions every time.
Initially inspired by “a comment that the scene needs more female dancehall DJs”, Ella has rapidly gained notoriety within the underground circuit. After practicing throughout the pandemic, she’s already opened for seasoned DJs like Shaun Sky and AAA, and packed out Boxpark Croydon with the prolific music platform, re.cess (known for its viral No Signal Radio spawned in the pandemic that she has also DJed for). Soon to stand toe-to-toe with her peers, she hopes to fill a void for fans looking for more female selectors at their raves and show that aspiring DJs of all genders can be taken seriously. Her first opportunity to do this, of course, is at this year’s Glastonbury Festival with the DJ collective Sensational Sounds.
“I have received a lot of support – even some unexpected support,” she tells NME. “I do [see more women being on the decks] but not enough. It is still a very male-dominated industry and selective [with regards to] who you know rather than your talent. But there have been communities made [such as female-led live events company, Set Pace] that focus on inclusivity, so within those spaces, it is definitely safe to DJ as a woman. Anywhere else? It varies – I’ve had men assume they can come on the decks during my set and play because they’re men. That’s very weird.”
All that changes in a womxn-only event. Considering the increased visibility of gay bars across central London – especially Soho – it’s shocking that there is currently only one lesbian-only bar in the city. After being sacked from that club, SHE Soho, event founder Teddy Edwardes started up her own womxn-only event, LICK. The monthly night is designed to give womxn – no matter what orientation – a safe haven and has become renowned for its fun, friendly atmosphere.
“I enjoy seeing people having a good time and feeling comfortable dressing and behaving how they like. Having no men completely changes the energy,” says Edwardes, before detailing her own troubling clubbing experiences. “So many venues still majorly fail at [being inclusive]. And a lot of gay bars in London don’t like to let women in, full stop. I’ve been told I have to kiss my partner before as ‘proof’ of why I should be allowed in, and even been told that they’re only letting gay men in because lesbians ‘cause trouble’. The last time I went to a club, a man pulled me by my hair across the room to try and buy me a drink – when I complained, it was me that had to leave.”
That’s why it’s super important to Teddy to create a space where womxn will be safe and able to come as they are. With the success of LICK’s events in London, she’s expanding her vision across the country, “launching in 10 cities in the UK and Ireland over the next few months”. Hopefully, LICK’s carefree culture will thrive and create more clubbing hubs that give many more womxn the chance to enjoy a safe night out.
“There have been communities made that focus on inclusivity. Within those spaces, it is definitely safe to DJ as a woman” – EllaDHC
The infamous and raunchy sweat-fest of Pxssy Palace, meanwhile, offers a similar safe space for POC in London wanting to attend queer events. Dubbed the beating heart of the city’s queer scene, the event’s founders and DJs Skye Barr and Nadine Noor unapologetically make space in the club scene for Black and Indigenous queer women and trans and non-binary people. If the night sounds familiar, you might remember its viral moment when it came under fire for charging cis-gendered heterosexual men £100 for tickets to one party, while BIPOC queer women and trans and non-binary people paid much cheaper admission fees.
Regardless of the ingenious ticketing system designed to ensure their mission – providing a safe clubbing experience for BIPOC queer womxn and non-binary people – is met all the time, Pxssy Palace has carved out its position as a central hub for queer culture in the UK. Barr and Artois are really stepping up for the underrepresented BIPOC LGBTQIA+ community and their events have drawn big names, like New Orleans’ loud and proud rap star Big Freedia, who celebrated International Women’s Day in 2020 with the DJing duo.
There are still challenges ahead for the inclusivity of London’s club scene. Queer non-binary clubber Zinzi Caine says they feel like “a lot of the POC queer places to party have been whitewashed”, undermining their aims of creating places for marginalised communities to feel comfortable. “It’s to such a degree that it almost strips their integrity away,” they tell NME.
“It’s quite easy to make friends when you dress nice and have high-energy” – Zinzi Caine
“There are very few places to party with POC queers that aren’t also catered to white queers too. Places such as Pxssy Palace and OriiJam have been overtaken by white people that don’t really respect the fact that it’s a space to centre POCs, which makes many of us uncomfortable.”
Caine, who is in their 20s, has been clubbing in London since they turned 18 and initially found their tribe at the Ace Hotel Shoreditch, which is now permanently closed due to the coronavirus outbreak. There, they and their friends would attend free events, like the self-proclaimed “secret favourite party” *Birdnoise*, in its snug basement.
“It was a community I’d never experienced before,” they say, reminiscing on their early experiences. “I was quite nervous to meet new people and find my way around but I found out it was quite easy to make friends when you dress nice and have high energy. It was eye-opening to see how many other young Black people were out and about like me.”
When they first started going out, though, they struggled to find many events where they felt represented, a feeling that still persists sometimes: “I absolutely did not feel represented in any way. It was extremely heteronormative at most times; homophobic actually. There was a great divide between self-expression and sexuality back then. I didn’t feel like I fit in with the straightness of it all.”
“I want [the future of clubbing] to be community and culturally-led. [I’m] hoping monetary exploitation is minimal” – Sukhchain Sohal
Caine hopes that the future of clubbing in the city features more “community” and “culture-based” events, allowing spaces to maintain importance to the groups they were created for. “[Events need to be] way more inclusive [in] detail [and focus on] more community, love, and open-mindedness, with less fear of judgment and harassment,” they explain. In addition, they’re wary of the potential elitism that could spring from the introduction of guestlist-only parties and how that could impact the scene. “Those events prioritise clout rather than free tickets that everyone can [access],” they tell NME. “Sometimes it’s beneficial but, most of the time, it’s just unfair on most people.”
Sohal, meanwhile, is all for the cultural significance of spaces being the main focus of events – as long as the communities involved aren’t subjected to exploitation. “I want it to be community and culturally-led; [I’m] hoping monetary exploitation is minimal,” he says. “Unfortunately, as these spaces and collectives start to strive, it becomes desirable for institutions and gatekeepers to take their slice. I think the initial step has occurred where communities have been built from the ground up. The next circuit looks to be more diverse and collaborative across communities.”
While there’s still a way to go for London’s clubbing scene to be absolutely inclusive, promoters, DJs and clubbers alike are all taking steps in the right direction. The continued growth of the city’s party circuit shows there is a place in the clubbing world for everyone, giving hope that one day soon there’ll be a time where everyone – regardless of gender, sexuality, or race – can get sweaty in total harmony. | https://www.nme.com/features/music-features/how-londons-club-scene-became-more-inclusive-pxssy-palace-lick-set-pace-3240640 | 2022-06-07T12:42:15Z | https://www.nme.com/features/music-features/how-londons-club-scene-became-more-inclusive-pxssy-palace-lick-set-pace-3240640 | false | 2 |
A TIKTOK tech guru has showcased a nifty iPhone trick that not many people know about.
User @betimm_b showed their 700,000 followers on the Chinese platform how to turn their iPhone keyboard into a trackpad.
The trick requires you to tap and hold the spacebar when typing using the iPhone's default keyboard.
It makes life easier by providing a handy way to quickly edit text when typing something out in a hurry.
How to access hidden iPhone trackpad
If you've ever used an iPhone to type, you'll know that going back to correct or add parts can sometimes be difficult.
That's especially true if you're trying to edit mid-way through a word, due to the difficulty of placing the cursor.

How to watch Apple's WWDC keynote today as firm unveils major iPhone update
Well there's a precision cursor trick hidden in the Apple keyboard, if you know where to look.
Simply hold down the space bar when you've typed some text, and the keyboard will turn blank.
You should see the cursor on the screen enlarge.
You can move your finger on the blank keyboard to drag the cursor to the point you want to edit.
Most read in Tech
The trick effectively turns your keyboard into a laptop-style trackpad.
It allows you to precisely move between characters in text without furiously tapping the display.
That's not all...
Tapping out full stops might not seem like a burden, but it does slow you down.
That's why Apple has built a cheeky shortcut into iOS to make it even easier to end a sentence.
If you tap the space bar twice after a word, the first space will convert into a full stop.
That way you can keep typing using only letters and the space bar, without ever having to reach down for the full stop.
And if you're trying to type a web link, it can be frustrating to tap out the .org or .edu.
A better solution is to long-press on the full stop, which will bring up shortcuts for many popular website endings.
This should make it easier to quickly write a website's address.

- Miles Taylor, a former Trump DHS official, discussed what he believes were Trump's plans on Jan. 6.
- Taylor said he believes Trump tried to incite an insurrection to impose martial law and strengthen his grip on power.
- The House committee investigating the Capitol riot is set to begin its public hearings this Thursday.
Former President Donald Trump was likely seeking to provoke an insurrection on January 6, 2021, so he could impose martial law and strengthen his grip on power, said Miles Taylor, a former administration official.
Taylor is a former Department of Homeland Security official known for writing an anonymous op-ed describing a "resistance" in the Trump administration.
In a Monday tweet, he addressed what he believes to have been the president's ultimate plan on January 6, when a mob of Trump supporters attacked the US Capitol and delayed Joe Biden's certification as president.
"I believe Trump intended to incite an insurrection as a pretext for declaring some form of marshal law. He mused about invoking the Insurrection Act YEARS before Jan 6 — calling it a 'magic power' — in convos I witnessed & was briefed on," said Taylor.
The Insurrection Act of 1807 gives the president broad powers to deploy the military domestically in response to what he or she deems to be emergency situations.
Representatives for Trump did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
The former president has always denied seeking to provoke violence on January 6, when the riot erupted after he delivered a speech at a rally in which he groundlessly claimed the 2020 election had been stolen from him.
The House committee investigating the riot is set to hold its first public hearing on Thursday evening. Committee members have said that they will lay out evidence of a broad conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election.
Prominent allies of Trump, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, had called for Trump to use his powers to declare martial law ahead of January 6, The Washington Post reported. The newspaper reported that the January 6 committee was investigating communications about invoking emergency powers.
Legal experts say using the Insurrection Act to contest an election would a gross violation of precedent, and that the law needs sharpening to prevent abuse.
Taylor revealed that he was the author of the New York Times op-ed in 2020, after resigning from DHS. He later published a book, titled "A Warning," which claimed that officials were worried about Trump's mental acuity and had discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office.
The White House at the time dismissed the book as a "work of fiction." | https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-likely-tried-impose-martial-law-jan-6-miles-taylor-2022-6 | 2022-06-07T12:52:34Z | https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-likely-tried-impose-martial-law-jan-6-miles-taylor-2022-6 | false | 3 |
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Dubai police said Tuesday they arrested two brothers from the Gupta family, wanted over allegedly looting state money with former South African President Jacob Zuma.
The arrest of Atul and Rajesh Gupta, who had lived for years in the sheikhdom, was the latest major extradition arrest by authorities in the United Arab Emirates. Dubai in particular has long welcomed the wealthy with little question into its luxury neighborhoods.
With the UAE now heading the international policing body Interpol, the country has faced renewed questioning over its lax checks on money laundering and reluctance to extradite suspects. That has only increased as Russian money flows into the Arabian Peninsula nation amid Moscow’s war on Ukraine.
Police issued a statement saying they arrested the brothers “in connection with money laundering and criminal charges in South Africa.”
The two, as well as their brother Ajay, had been suspected of hiding out in Dubai since fleeing South Africa around the same time Zuma resigned in 2018 amid allegations he had overseen massive levels of corruption at state-owned companies.
The family has denied the allegations previously. It wasn’t immediately clear if the two had a local lawyer.
South Africa’s City Press newspaper reported in 2016 that the Gupta family had purchased a $30 million residence in Dubai’s Emirates Hills neighborhood, which had 10 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, nine reception rooms, a double grand staircase, a hand-painted dome, space for 11 cars, and chandeliers in virtually every room.
Dubai police said they made the arrest after receiving an Interpol “red notice” warrant for the two.
“The arrest reflects the continuous efforts of the UAE in combating money laundering crimes through local cooperation among the competent authorities,” police said.
Dubai police did not immediately acknowledge Ajay Gupta’s whereabouts. The Gupta family is originally from India.
Authorities in South Africa late Monday said the two brothers had been arrested after discussions between them and Dubai officials. However, Emirati authorities did not confirm the arrests until Tuesday.
South Africa’s National Prosecuting Authority said Tuesday it had assigned “an experienced team of internal and external experts” who were working to extradite the two men to South Africa.
The arrests come nearly one year after the UAE ratified the extradition treaty with South Africa. It came into effect in June 2021, just as Interpol issued the red notice against the two Gupta brothers and their accomplices.
The Guptas are accused of using their association with Zuma to cash in on huge government contracts and kickbacks, and were believed to be so influential they had a say in Zuma’s appointment of Cabinet ministers. Their names burst into public view in 2016, when an official said the Guptas allegedly offered him a $44 million bribe to become the finance minister in exchange for favors.
The U.S. Treasury Department placed the three Gupta brothers on a sanctions list in 2019, accusing them of being “members of a significant corruption network.” That forbids U.S entities from conducting business with them or handling their assets.
“Until they are in front of a South African court, we need to be cautious but what has happened to date should be applauded,” said Karam Singh, the executive director of the activist group Corruption Watch.
Zuma, 80, was president from 2009 until he was forced to step down by his African National Congress Party in 2018 amid the graft scandal. He faces corruption charges over a state arms purchase and went to prison in July 2021 for refusing a court order to testify before a judicial inquiry.
Zuma’s incarceration sparked weekslong riots in parts of South Africa that killed over 300 people and saw 25,000 soldiers deployed in the worst violence since the end of the apartheid era. Zuma has been out of prison on a medical parole that was later revoked, a decision now being challenged in the courts.
Dubai’s boom-and-bust real estate market, open to foreigners, has attracted investors and those fleeing conflicts from years. Just as long, war profiteers, terror financiers and drug traffickers sanctioned by the U.S. have used Dubai’s real-estate market as a haven for their assets.
Scrutiny also has increased after the Financial Action Task Force, a global anti-money-laundering body, placed the UAE on its “grey list” earlier this year, escalating its monitoring of the country’s efforts to crack down on illicit financial flows.
Over the last year, Dubai police have announced several major extradition-related arrests, typically involving suspected drug dealers and gangsters. The extraditions now appear to have stepped up into other crimes. Last week, Dubai police similarly arrested a British man wanted in Denmark over an alleged $1.7 billion tax fraud case. Sanjay Shah, who maintains his innocence, similarly had been living in Dubai for years amid court cases targeting him over allegedly masterminding the scam.
However, there’s a renewed focus on Russian money flowing in as Moscow faces Western sanctions over the Ukraine war. In the northern emirate of Ras al-Khaimah, a sanctioned Russian oligarch’s megayacht now hides from possible Western seizure. That vessel, the Motor Yacht A, is owned by Andrey Melnichenko, a European Union-sanctioned oligarch worth some $23.5 billion, according to Forbes. Melnichenko has rejected the sanctions and denied being close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Beijing on Tuesday accused Australia and Canada of “spreading disinformation" over allegedly dangerous manoeuvres by Chinese military pilots in international airspace.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a day earlier hit out at “irresponsible and provocative" actions by Beijing’s air force after Canadian aircraft deployed in Japan narrowly avoided a collision with Chinese jets late last month.
The incident has again heightened tensions between Beijing and Ottawa, just as a lengthy crisis over Canada’s 2018 arrest of a Chinese tech executive subsides.
China responded to Trudeau’s comments by calling on Canada to “respect the facts (and) stop spreading disinformation".
“Canadian fighter jets’ enemy reconnaissance of China is out-and-out irresponsible and provocative behaviour," said foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian at a press briefing Tuesday.
“China resolutely opposes actions that threaten China’s state sovereignty and security under any pretext."
The Canadian aircraft were deployed in Japan for a multinational effort to enforce United Nations sanctions against North Korea over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes.
They were forced to quickly modify their flight path to “avoid a potential collision with the intercepting aircraft", the Canadian military said.
In a separate row, Australia claimed last week that Chinese fighter planes intercepted one of its jets over the South China Sea during a routine operation.
Australia argued it is not unusual for it to undertake surveillance flights over the strategic waterway, which Beijing insists comes under its domain despite a 2016 Hague ruling that dismissed its claim.
But China said earlier Tuesday that an Australian P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft came near the airspace of the disputed Paracel Islands — known as Xisha in China — on May 26.
The aircraft “approached for reconnaissance, ignoring repeated warnings from the Chinese side", said defence ministry spokesman Tan Kefei.
The People’s Liberation Army organised naval and air forces to identify the military aircraft, “issuing a warning to drive it away", Tan added.
“The Australian military plane seriously threatened China’s sovereignty and security, and the measures taken by the Chinese military were professional, safe, reasonable and legal," he said.
Tan accused Australia of spreading “false information" and called the actions of the Australian pilots “dangerous and provocative".
In February Canberra accused the Chinese military of shining a military-grade laser at one of its defence planes over waters north of Australia, labelling it an “act of intimidation".

- SUSE shares its vision to strengthen security for enterprises through new open source cloud-native solutions
- Industry-first partnerships with AMD, Google and NVIDIA will drive a secure software supply chain
- Major updates to SUSE Linux Enterprise, SUSE Manager, Rancher and NeuVector technologies to be unveiled at SUSECON Digital 2022
NUREMBERG, Germany, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SUSE, a global leader in innovative, reliable and secure enterprise-grade open source solutions, today unveils new innovations alongside its vision to create highly secure infrastructure solutions to enable business' digital transformation. The announcements at this week's SUSECON Digital underscore the company's ambition to harness the power of open source innovation to build the most secure enterprise environments possible.
Innovations to bolster security throughout the entire stack
The latest technology upgrades from SUSE will drive automation and focus on increasing security, everywhere - across its three core solution areas: Business-critical Linux (BCL), Enterprise Container Management (ECM) and Edge.
Facing an increase in supply chain security attacks and rising concerns about container security, companies need to innovate without disruption. Further, with the Industrial Internet of Things emerging as a major segment, the rise of the edge deployments introduces a broader attack surface. The increase in potential attacks – whether in the data center, cloud or at the edge - requires companies to reassess and enforce increased security across their infrastructure solutions.
"Consumers are demanding more robust software solutions due to the scale and breadth of security attacks," said Melissa Di Donato, CEO of SUSE. "Our customers need comprehensive and secure solutions to support every stage of their digital transformation: they're calling for multi-cluster, multi-cloud solutions to support their entire business. Today's announcements highlight our ability to address the critical needs of our customers whilst delivering solutions they can rely on now and in the future."
Business-critical Linux: Championing a secure and compliant software supply chain
SUSE introduces a new release of its Linux code base, SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 Service Pack 4 (SLE 15 SP4), which provides customers with the advantages of using one of the world's most secure enterprise Linux platforms.
Highlights of SLE 15 SP4 include:
- Adding SLSA 4 compliance to existing security certifications: SLE 15 SP4 is the first Linux distribution to deliver packages under the demanding Google SLSA standard distinctly adding a SLSA Level 4 Compliant Supply Chain which helps to protect against the increasing software security and supply chain threats customers face today.
- Confidential computing changes data protection in the cloud: New with SLE 15 SP4 is the protection of data that is in use, including in main memory or CPU registers, which allows users to safely process sensitive data in the cloud. Building on a long history of upstream collaboration, SLE 15 SP4 is the first Linux distribution to support AMD SEV-ES (Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Encrypted State) host and guest modes, enabling customers to select additional security-strengthening VM isolation. With confidential computing for the cloud, SUSE, AMD and Google Cloud give customers the ability to safely process data, accelerate their migration and ensure their cloud workloads are protected against remote attacks, privilege escalation and malicious insiders. This extends to the workloads that require the most stringent security and compliance.
- Expansion into the cloud-native world: For cloud-native and edge environments, SUSE collaborates with NVIDIA to deliver maximum performance and availability. With NVIDIA's recent release of its open sourced GPU kernel-mode driver, SLE 15 SP4 is the first major Linux distribution to deliver it, streamlining GPU-accelerated computing across cloud, data center and edge with a secure software supply chain and excellence in support.
- Resilience with smarter management for Linux estates: SUSE Manager 4.3 delivers the ability to simplify management of any mixed Linux clients, providing centralized reporting, management and monitoring from a single console, including resource-constrained environments such as edge deployments.
- Designed for SAP service management: SUSE presents Trento, designed to reduce complexity and safeguard workloads in the cloud, as part of the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications. Trento assures the integrity and security of a customer's SAP Applications environment by continuously enforcing best practices and validating system configurations, on the major hyperscalers like Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud Platform.
Enterprise Container Management: Providing enterprises with governance, security and operational reliability through container management
Building on last month's availability of SUSE NeuVector 5.0 and SUSE Rancher 2.6.5, which together enable enterprises to easily secure their hybrid cloud applications, SUSE continues to invest in its container solutions with updates that enhance and secure the capabilities of SUSE Rancher, including:
- Developer-focused solutions: Rancher Desktop adoption has grown over 300% since its 1.0 release in January. The 1.6 release provides customers with new dashboard capabilities, including easy-to-use drop-down features and a new command line tool called rdctl that enables command line access to GUI features. These help users with tasks such as scripting (for automation, CI/CD), troubleshooting and remote management, as well as improved functionality for the user experience.
- Robust container storage: Longhorn 1.3 delivers enhanced API using Kubernetes CRDs, which allows Longhorn settings to be customized via kubectl and GitOps-based tools. Customers also benefit from the new storage area network, which accelerates storage replication performance through dedicated NICs, volume cloning support that duplicates environments, and persistent data for scaling, testing and validating cloud-native apps.
- Expanded partner solutions: SUSE Rancher now supports IBM Z environments, which enables IBM Z customers to benefit from the latest cloud-native innovation. SUSE Rancher is also available on Microsoft Azure and GCP Marketplaces, which allows customers and partners to streamline their procurement processes.
- Enterprise grade security and certifications: Building on the security enhancements announced today and recently at KubeCon, SUSE intends to release later this year a new Rancher edition with additional enterprise security and compliance capabilities to directly serve the evolving needs of regulated enterprise customers as well as government organizations.
EDGE: Enabling business applications to run securely where they run best (at the Edge)
With a projected 75 billion devices expected to be online by 2025, SUSE is addressing the need for companies to deploy at the edge with new advancements to SUSE Edge, a 100% open source solution that leverages K3s, SLE Micro, and other storage and container security elements that are purpose-built for challenging edge environments.
SUSE Edge seamlessly integrates security across the three management layers needed for a reliable and scalable solution (application lifecycle, Kubernetes lifecycle and operating system). Highlights include:
- Management at scale: SUSE Edge supports every industry and streamlines operations for customers to be able to adapt and manage thousands of hospitals, restaurants and retail stores as independent edge locations from one centralized location.
- Addressing future of Industrial IoT: SUSE Edge allows manufacturing and industrial companies to deploy edge applications that support predictive maintenance and analytics value, alongside providing the auto industry with critical edge support necessary to bring intelligent vehicles to the next frontier.
- Simple and easy operating system deployment: SUSE Edge provides customers with the ability to manage ongoing security with live patching. Customers can also leverage new feature-and-functionality updates that are crucial for keeping the competitive edge for business-critical applications, as well as increasing the competitive wedge.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. (AP) — The body of a Kennewick man was discovered in the Walla Walla River by fisherman Sunday afternoon, two weeks after he disappeared.
The body of Eswin Danilo Reyes Gonzalez, 36, was found by fishermen about 1 p.m. Sunday, said Walla Walla County officials. Walla Walla deputies, county fire and Columbia Basin Dive Rescue responded and recovered the body, the sheriff’s office reported, according to the Tri-City Herald.
The coroner’s office took the body and an autopsy was conducted Monday morning. While the cause of his death hasn’t been officially determined, there isn’t any suspicion of foul play, Undersheriff Joe Klundt said in a news release.
Reyes Gonzalez had been missing since May 22, after he was fishing with friends and reportedly went in for a swim in the Walla Walla River at Madame Dorian Memorial Park.
He never resurfaced and rescue divers searched several times and could not find him. The water in the Walla Walla, Snake and Columbia rivers was in the low 50s, said sheriff’s officials. Those temperatures can cause people to develop hypothermia quickly. | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/Kennewick-man-s-body-found-in-Walla-Walla-River-17224427.php | 2022-06-07T12:55:18Z | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/Kennewick-man-s-body-found-in-Walla-Walla-River-17224427.php | false | 13 |

Leading U.S. independent provider of behavioral health care acquires Acacia Counseling to help meet the surging demand for mental health services on campuses across America
DENVER, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mindpath Health, a leading independent U.S. provider of high-quality outpatient mental health services, today announced the acquisition of Acacia Counseling and Wellness, a leading provider of accessible and specialized therapy, psychiatry, and telehealth for college students and their communities. Acacia's executive team, including co-founders Dr. Keith Higginbotham and Dr. Brett Donnelly, will join Mindpath Health to help transform mental health care for college students.
"Research shows that up to three-quarters of college students have experienced heightened stress and anxiety the past two years and many have developed life-altering mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety as a result," said Mindpath Health CEO, Christopher Brengard. "Our acquisition of Acacia Counseling and Wellness will increase access to affordable, quality mental health care for college communities nationwide to help transform their world through better overall health and wellness."

After surgery, some cancer patients can safely skip radiation or chemotherapy, according to two studies exploring shorter, gentler cancer care.
Researchers are looking for ways to precisely predict which cancer patients can avoid unneeded treatment to cut down on harmful side effects and unnecessary costs.
One new study used a blood test to determine which colon cancer patients could skip chemotherapy after surgery. Another suggests some low-risk breast cancer patients can omit radiation after lumpectomy.
The research was discussed at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, which wrapped up Tuesday in Chicago. The colon cancer study, funded by the Australian and U.S. governments and nonprofit groups, was published Saturday by the New England Journal of Medicine.
The findings could allow doctors to “focus on the patients we think would truly benefit from chemotherapy and avoid the side effects for patients for whom it’s likely unnecessary,” said Dr. Stacey Cohen of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, who reviewed the colon cancer findings and was not involved in the research.
COLON CANCER
Many colon cancer patients are given chemotherapy after surgery, even though they may be cured. The drugs can come with side effects such as nausea, anemia and memory problems.
But pinpointing which patients might not need further treatment has been tricky. Scientists studied whether a blood test could help doctors make the call.
The study involved 455 patients who had surgery because cancer had spread into the colon wall. After surgery, one group received a blood test, customized to their tumor’s genetic profile, to detect any remaining bits of cancer DNA.
Their care was guided by the blood test: If it showed no signs of remaining cancer, the patients did not get chemotherapy. Meanwhile, doctors made chemo decisions for the rest of the patients in the usual way, guided by analysis of the tumor and nearby tissue.
Fewer patients in the blood test group got chemo — 15% vs. 28%. But about 93% of both groups were still free of cancer after two years. In other words, the blood test group fared equally well with less chemotherapy.
“In patients where cancer DNA is not detected after surgery, the chance of cancer relapse is very low, suggesting that chemotherapy is very unlikely to benefit these patients,” said Dr. Jeanne Tie of the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Australia, who led the research.
Skipping chemo makes “a big difference in a person’s quality of life if that can be done without having to put them at jeopardy for recurrence,” said ASCO president Dr. Everett Vokes, who specializes in head and neck and lung cancer at University of Chicago Medicine.
BREAST CANCER
The other study followed 500 older women with a common form of early-stage breast cancer and low levels of a protein known as Ki67, a marker for fast-growing cancer.
After surgery, the women took hormone-blocking pills, a standard treatment for this type of cancer, but they did not get radiation treatment.
After five years, 10 of the women saw cancer return in the same breast, and there was one breast cancer death. There was no comparison group, but researchers said the results compare favorably to historical data for similar patients who had radiation.
“We estimate the benefits of radiation would be very small in this population compared to the side effects,” said Dr. Timothy Whelan of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, who led the study, which was supported by the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society.
Radiation can cause skin problems, fatigue and, less commonly, long-term heart problems and second cancers.
The study is a “feel-good” message for patients with low-risk tumors and will help doctors understand which of their patients they “can comfortably, with confidence” omit radiation, said Dr. Deborah Axelrod of NYU Langone Health, who was not involved in the research.

Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, have released a new photo of their daughter Lilibet, after celebrating her 1st birthday on Saturday at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor in the UK, a spokesperson for the family said.
The couple "remain incredibly touched by the countless birthday wishes for their daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor," the spokesperson said, adding that they were "amazed to learn" that donations in her honor for the World Central Kitchen (WCK) amounted to more than $100,000.
The couple have shared a new image of their 1-year-old daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.

"WCK is first on the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate and community crisis. They build resilient food systems with locally led solutions. Most recently, they provided support in Uvalde, TX and Ukraine," according to the spokesperson, who said that the organization is "especially near to their hearts."
In the photo, Lilibet sits in the grass of her family's UK home, wearing a blue dress and a white bow in her hair.
Like her brother Archie, Lilbet appears to have inherited her father's red hair.
"Close family friend and guest, Misan Harriman, who attended Lilibet's special day with his wife and children, took the candid, spontaneous photograph that The Duke and Duchess are pleased to share today," the spokesperson said.
Additional details on Lilibet's birthday celebrations were also revealed, including that the baker who made her birthday cake, Claire Ptak, is the same who created the Duke and Duchess's wedding cake in 2018.
Lilibet is named after her great grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Harry and Meghan had traveled to the UK to celebrate the Queen's jubilee , a four-day holiday weekend to mark the Queen's unprecedented 70-year-reign. Friday marked the couple's first public appearance at a royal event in more than two years, when they attended a thanksgiving service for the monarch in in the hallowed surroundings of St Paul's Cathedral.

NEW YORK (AP) — Oprah Winfrey has chosen 19-year-old Leila Mottley's “Nightcrawling,” a debut novel about a young Black woman from East Oakland and her battles with poverty, racism and the police, for next book club pick.
A spokesperson for Winfrey said Mottley is the youngest author ever selected for Oprah’s Book Club, founded in 1996.
“It brings me great joy to introduce readers to new authors, and this young poet Leila Mottley wrote a soul-searching portrait of survival and hope,” Winfrey said in a statement Tuesday.
Mottley, born and raised in Oakland, served as the city's youth poet laureate in 2018. Her book was published Tuesday and has been praised by James McBride and Tommy Orange among others. Kirkus Reviews called “Nightcrawling” a “lovely and poetic" evocation of an “underclass and the disposable women just trying to survive.”
Mottley said in a statement that she was “absolutely floored when Ms. Winfrey popped up” during what she thought was an ordinary publishing meeting.
“It was the surprise of a lifetime!" she added.
Winfrey will speak with Mottley on June 30 for an interactive book club event on OprahDaily.com. Since starting her book club, Winfrey has often alternated between such established authors Toni Morrison and Richard Powers and such first-time authors as Mottley, Imbolo Mbue and Cynthia Bond. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Winfrey-picks-Leila-Mottley-s-Nightcrawling-for-17224426.php | 2022-06-07T12:58:24Z | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Winfrey-picks-Leila-Mottley-s-Nightcrawling-for-17224426.php | false | 42 |
Russia deploys more troops, claims progress in east Ukraine
Russia claimed Tuesday it has occupied large swathes of eastern Ukraine after a relentless, weeks-long barrage and the recent deployment of more troops.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Moscow's forces have "liberated" 97 percent of the Luhansk region.
Russia appears bent on capturing the entire eastern Donbas part of Ukraine, which is made up of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. That goal appears to be its most immediate ambition in Ukraine.
But while the Kremlin's forces have superior firepower, the Ukrainian defenders — among them the country's most well-trained forces — are entrenched and have shown the capability to counterattack.
Shoigu claimed that Russian forces have seized the residential quarters of Sievierodonetsk and are fighting to take control of an industrial zone on its outskirts and the nearby towns.
Sievierodonetsk, the administrative center of the Luhansk region, has recently been the focus of the Russian offensive. Sievierodonetsk and nearby Lysychansk are the only two Donbas cities holding out against the Russian invasion, which is being helped by local pro-Kremlin forces.
Shoigu added that the Russian troops were pressing their offensive toward the town of Popasna and noted that they have taken control of Lyman and Sviatohirsk and 15 other towns in the region.
Popasna is a town with a pre-war population of 20,000 located about 30 kilometers (nearly 20 miles) south of Sievierodonetsk.
A Ukrainian official said Tuesday that Moscow is deploying troop reinforcements in eastern Ukraine as a Russian artillery barrage aimed to grind down Ukrainian defenses.
Luhansk governor Serhiy Haidai conceded that Russian forces control the industrial outskirts of Sievierodonetsk, one of two cities in the Luhansk region still in Ukrainian hands.
"Toughest street battles continue, with varying degrees of success," Haidai told The Associated Press. "The situation constantly changes, but the Ukrainians are repelling attacks." Moscow's strategy has suffered numerous setbacks, however, since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, including a failed attempt to take Kyiv, the capital.
Moscow's forces also kept up an artillery barrage on Lysychansk, a city close to Sievierodonetsk which is almost fully controlled by Russian troops.
Haida said Russian troops shelled a local market, a school, and a college building, destroying the latter. Three wounded people were sent to hospitals in other parts of Ukraine, he said.
"A destruction of the city is underway, Russian shelling has intensified significantly over the past 24 hours. Russians are using scorched earth tactics," Haida said.
In all, Ukrainian forces had repelled 10 Russian attacks over the previous 24 hours, according to Haida. His report couldn't be independently verified.
Ukraine is receiving weapons and ammunition from the West to help fend off relentless Russian attacks. That assistance has become a target for Russian artillery and warplanes.
Russia claimed Tuesday its forces took out two artillery systems given by the United States and a howitzer supplied by Norway.
Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said the Russian artillery barrage destroyed other Ukrainian equipment in the country's east while the Russian air force hit Ukrainian troops and equipment concentrations and artillery positions. Konashenkov's claims couldn't be independently confirmed.
In Kyiv, meanwhile, autopsies were planned on dozens of Ukrainian fighters killed at the Azovstal steelworks.
The bodies were returned to Ukraine by the Russian occupiers of the fortress-like plant in the destroyed city of Mariupol, where their last-ditch stand became a symbol of resistance against Moscow's invasion.
The Azov Regiment was among the Ukrainian units that defended the steelworks for nearly three months before surrendering in May under relentless Russian attacks from the ground, sea, and air.
It was unclear how many bodies might remain at the plant.

After surgery, some cancer patients can safely skip radiation or chemotherapy, according to two studies exploring shorter, gentler cancer care.
Researchers are looking for ways to precisely predict which cancer patients can avoid unneeded treatment to cut down on harmful side effects and unnecessary costs.
One new study used a blood test to determine which colon cancer patients could skip chemotherapy after surgery. Another suggests some low-risk breast cancer patients can omit radiation after lumpectomy.
The research was discussed at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, which wrapped up Tuesday in Chicago. The colon cancer study, funded by the Australian and U.S. governments and nonprofit groups, was published Saturday by the New England Journal of Medicine.
The findings could allow doctors to “focus on the patients we think would truly benefit from chemotherapy and avoid the side effects for patients for whom it’s likely unnecessary,” said Dr. Stacey Cohen of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, who reviewed the colon cancer findings and was not involved in the research.
COLON CANCER
Many colon cancer patients are given chemotherapy after surgery, even though they may be cured. The drugs can come with side effects such as nausea, anemia and memory problems.
But pinpointing which patients might not need further treatment has been tricky. Scientists studied whether a blood test could help doctors make the call.
The study involved 455 patients who had surgery because cancer had spread into the colon wall. After surgery, one group received a blood test, customized to their tumor’s genetic profile, to detect any remaining bits of cancer DNA.
Their care was guided by the blood test: If it showed no signs of remaining cancer, the patients did not get chemotherapy. Meanwhile, doctors made chemo decisions for the rest of the patients in the usual way, guided by analysis of the tumor and nearby tissue.
Fewer patients in the blood test group got chemo — 15% vs. 28%. But about 93% of both groups were still free of cancer after two years. In other words, the blood test group fared equally well with less chemotherapy.
“In patients where cancer DNA is not detected after surgery, the chance of cancer relapse is very low, suggesting that chemotherapy is very unlikely to benefit these patients,” said Dr. Jeanne Tie of the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Australia, who led the research.
Skipping chemo makes “a big difference in a person’s quality of life if that can be done without having to put them at jeopardy for recurrence,” said ASCO president Dr. Everett Vokes, who specializes in head and neck and lung cancer at University of Chicago Medicine.
BREAST CANCER
The other study followed 500 older women with a common form of early-stage breast cancer and low levels of a protein known as Ki67, a marker for fast-growing cancer.
After surgery, the women took hormone-blocking pills, a standard treatment for this type of cancer, but they did not get radiation treatment.
After five years, 10 of the women saw cancer return in the same breast, and there was one breast cancer death. There was no comparison group, but researchers said the results compare favorably to historical data for similar patients who had radiation.
“We estimate the benefits of radiation would be very small in this population compared to the side effects,” said Dr. Timothy Whelan of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, who led the study, which was supported by the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society.
Radiation can cause skin problems, fatigue and, less commonly, long-term heart problems and second cancers.
The study is a “feel-good” message for patients with low-risk tumors and will help doctors understand which of their patients they “can comfortably, with confidence” omit radiation, said Dr. Deborah Axelrod of NYU Langone Health, who was not involved in the research. | https://ktla.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/which-patients-can-skip-cancer-treatments-studies-provide-answers/ | 2022-06-07T13:18:00Z | https://ktla.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/which-patients-can-skip-cancer-treatments-studies-provide-answers/ | true | 72 |

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Miss Michigan Teen USA and Cedar Springs native Isabella Mosqueda joined 13 ON YOUR SIDE Tuesday morning to discuss her recent win, her career aspirations and her passions.
19-year-old Mosqueda was crowned Miss Michigan Teen USA on May 28, beating out 40 other competitors. She said hearing her name called as she was crowned was a surprise she'd worked hard for.
"I was honestly in shock, it took me about a day or so to realize I had actually won," she said. "I'd been working so hard for this title for many months."
Mosqueda plans to attend Wayne State University to pursue a career in medicine this fall. She said competitors in pageants are often reduced to their appearance, and that she and other participants are working to fight that and pursue their dream careers.
"We're not just a pretty face, we are anesthesiologists, which is what I want to be, we're entrepreneurs, lawyers, much more than just a pretty face like people say," Mosqueda said.
Along with studying medicine, Mosqueda is interested in advocating for people with "invisible disabilities"—something that has touched her life on a personal level.
"Growing up, I had two disabled parents and you can't notice if you just look at them. That's why I call them invisible disabilities," she said. "Even with myself, not many people know I can't hear out of one of my ears. A lot of people struggle with things behind the scenes, and I really want people to be more aware and just knowledgeable about those things so when they meet someone they don't just judge a book by its cover."
This wasn't Mosqueda's first time in the 13 ON YOUR SIDE building, either! She visited previously with the Cedar Springs cheerleading team for a feature on 13 On Your Sidelines.
Mosqueda will compete next in the Miss Teen USA national competition later this year. In order for Mosqueda to do so, fees and high travel costs must be covered. If you're interested in donating to the Mosqueda family's GoFundMe to help cover those costs, click here.

AKRON, Ohio, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Signet Jewelers Limited, the world's largest retailer of diamond jewelry, released its Fiscal 2022 Corporate Citizenship and Sustainability Report highlighting progress the company is making towards its 10-year Corporate Sustainability Goals. Signet's holistic focus on its Three Loves—Team Members, People, Planet and Products—includes comprehensive environmental, social and governance (ESG) data leveraging the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards.
"I am proud of the strong progress we are consistently making toward our 2030 goals," said Signet Jewelers CEO Virginia C. Drosos. "As we continue to elevate our sustainability efforts, our Purpose of Inspiring Love and our Three Loves continue to be not only sources of pride, but also drivers of action and impact." She added, "Our progress on DEI over the past four years is particularly notable with 76% of Signet's store assistant managers and above being women as well as 42% of Signet's VPs and above, the cornerstone for our recognition in Bloomberg's Gender-Equality Index four years running."
In addition to its own framework, Signet is a member of the UN Global Compact, which affirms the company's long-standing dedication to responsible, ethical business practices and upholding the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact on human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption.
"Our Purpose – our whole reason for being – is Inspiring Love. That focus ignites our entire team and guides our Corporate Sustainability Goals.

Background and Progress
In 2021, Signet announced its 2030 Corporate Sustainability Goals, which deepened the company's commitment to leading as a purpose-driven and sustainability-focused organization. Signet established a total of 44 Corporate Sustainability Goals with the goal of accomplishing three in the past year as follows:
- Establishing the Signet Love Inspires Foundation, focused on underserved women and children, and social change advocacy;
- Aligning the Signet Love Inspires Foundation grant-making policy with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to meaningful measure Signet's impact toward solving the world's most pressing problems; and
- Increasing Signet's base wage to $15/hour by Spring 2022 in the US. (Completed ahead of schedule in Q3 FY22)
Signet organizes its sustainability efforts through a framework it refers to as its "Three Loves": Love for All People, Love for Our Team and Love for Our Planet and Products. Over the past year, Signet has made meaningful progress and strengthened the company's impact in all three of these pillars:
- Love for All People: Inspiring Love into the world through marketing, charitable donations, and participation in social advocacy as Signet and through its ten consumer-facing banners. Since the start of their 23-year partnership with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®, Signet has raised nearly $89 million for the organization. Signet also recently announced that it was suspending business interaction with Russian-owned entities in response to the crisis in Ukraine.
- Love for Our Team: Amplifying its focus on being an employer of choice for all, including underrepresented populations and highlighting the significant presence women have within Signet's leadership team. Signet is a twice awarded Great Place to Work-Certified™ Company and has also been listed on the Bloomberg Gender-Equity Index for four consecutive years – the only specialty jewelry retailer on the Index. In addition, Signet reports using the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Corporate Equity Index, the national benchmarking tool on corporate policies, practices and benefits pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer employees.
- Love for Our Planet and Products: Defining Signet's commitment to business practices and policies to address human rights, climate change and committing to further developing the circular economy. In 2021, Signet recovered and resold over 120,000 carats of diamonds, and 89% of all Signet Jewelry was sourced from Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) members.

One of two cannabis bills that gets green light
The N.C. House voted Wednesday 86-25 to remove hemp from the state’s controlled substance list. Bill sponsors say House Bill 455, keeps state law in step with federal treatment of hemp. By moving it off the State Controlled Substances Act, it allows for the legal selling and transporting of the hemp substance.
A similar measure is also included in the N.C. Farm Act of 2022, unanimously approved by the Senate on Tuesday. The votes come ahead of the June 30 expiration date of the state law that allows farmers to grow hemp on a temporary basis.
“What we are doing is saving an industry that has spent millions upon millions of dollars already,” said Sen. Brent Jackson, R-Sampson, one of the primary co-sponsors of the Farm Act in the Senate. “If we don’t conform to federal law, they are going to be outlawed. They will be illegally transporting, and if we don’t conform to federal law, our retailers will be illegally selling products and our growers will, for the most part, be illegal and wipe out this industry.”
The Farm Act spells out the differences between hemp and marijuana cannabis. Hemp is cannabis that has less than 0.3% delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration which is the chemical that makes a marijuana user experience a “high.” Legal production of hemp products under this act would include rope, textiles, oils, and other products.
There are currently 1,500 licensed hemp growers in N.C. Starting this year, industry producers must comply with the federal USDA Domestic Hemp Production Rule.
Each bill would now go to the other chamber for approval.
Compassionate Care Act
Meantime, a N.C. Senate committee passed a bill on Wednesday by voice vote that would legalize the use of medical marijuana with more than 0.3% of THC, a Schedule 6 controlled substance under the N.C. Controlled Substances Act. The N.C. Compassionate Care Act now goes to the Senate floor for a full vote, possibly as early as Thursday, given Senate Leader Phil Berger’s indication earlier this week that he wants to bring it for a full chamber vote.
Senate Bill 711 would allow cannabis with higher levels of THC to treat “debilitating” conditions such as cancer and post-traumatic stress disorder. The Senate Rules Committee has had the measure since the long session as lawmakers try to gauge the political appetitive for medicinal legalization. The bill offers extensive regulations on everything from advertising, to testing, licensing, and packaging.
If passed by both chambers and signed into law, N.C. would join 36 states and four territories that allow for the medical use of cannabis products, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Sen Bill Rabon, R-Brunswick, is a primary sponsor of S.B. 711, and is a cancer survivor. He says that he and bill writers spent much time researching how other states legalized medical marijuana, and where they may have gone wrong. He told lawmakers that this bill has proper safeguards.
“It is nothing more than trying to help people with the care that they need and augment their treatments as decided upon by a patient and by a physician,” Rabon said.
The bill as amended in committee during the long session adds patients in hospice or with less than six months to live as those allowed to use medical cannabis under the guidance of a doctor. Prescribing physicians must take a 10-hour class on how to dose and use medicinal marijuana, must see the patient in person, and conduct annual reviews to ensure they remain qualifying. The bill also limits “the number of written certifications a physician may issue at any given time.” Patients could possess 1.5 ounces at a time.
The bill establishes a Compassionate Use Advisory Board, with members to include doctors and pharmacists, and appointed by the governor and the N.C. General Assembly. The board would set limits on where and how medicinal marijuana could be used, including bans on it within 1,000 feet of churches, schools, or childcare facilities. It would also offer require law enforcement and employers to treat it similarly to other prescribed products. Growing it at home would remain illegal. The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services will maintain a registry of prescriptions and patients and issue tamper-proof registry ID cards.
“It is the intent of the General Assembly to prioritize the protection of public health and safety in the creation of a system for the cultivation, processing, and selling of medical cannabis,” the bill reads.
The president of the N.C. Family Research Council, Jere Royall, spoke to the committee in opposition to the measure, pointing out that medical cannabis use has not been approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration, and voiced concerns that legalizing it for medical use could lead to legalizing it for recreational use.
The bill also directs that a Medical Cannabis Production Commission be established to approve producer licenses, set penalties for violations, and oversee other parts of the production industry. The Commission would develop a “seed-to-sale” tracking system and be responsible for recalls, and other regulatory functions.
From here, the Compassionate Care Act goes to the full Senate for approval and, if passed, on to the House committees, where it may face resistance as members try to push it to a long-session issue. | https://www.clintonnc.com/news/59874/medical-marijuana-okd-by-nc-lawmakers | 2022-06-07T13:26:13Z | https://www.clintonnc.com/news/59874/medical-marijuana-okd-by-nc-lawmakers | false | 2 |

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.)
Terrence Guay, Penn State
(THE CONVERSATION) Russia’s war in Ukraine is upending the global arms industry.
As the U.S. and its allies pour significant sums of money into arming Ukraine and Russia bleeds tanks and personnel, countries across the world are rethinking defense budgets, materiel needs and military relationships. Countries that historically have had low levels of defense spending such as Japan and Germany are bulking up, while nations that purchase most of their weapons from Russia are questioning their reliability and future delivery.
My research in this area suggests that, however this war eventually ends, the repercussions for the global defense industry, and for the countries whose companies dominate this sector, will be enormous. Here are four takeaways.
1. Russia will be the biggest loser
Russia’s general sales pitch for its weapons has been they’re “cheaper and easier to maintain than Western alternatives.” This is why Russia accounted for 19% of the world’s arms exports from 2017 to 2021, second only to the U.S., which had 39% of the market.
However, this pitch may no longer be effective for many countries that have seen Russian equipment losses and failures in Ukraine.
To date, the U.S. estimates Russia has lost almost a thousand tanks, at least 50 helicopters, 36 fighter-bombers and 350 artillery pieces, according to Business Insider. Thousands of Russian soldiers have been killed, with estimates ranging from about 15,000 to as high as 30,000, and Russia is still unable to control Ukraine’s airspace.
The situation has become so dire that there are reports that commanders are trying to preserve equipment by forbidding troops from using them to evacuate wounded soldiers or to support units that have advanced too far.
Russia’s offensive weapons have also proved disappointing. Its missile failure rate – the share that either failed to launch, malfunctioned mid-flight or missed their target – may be as high as 50% to 60% due to design flaws and outdated or inferior equipment.
These problems, along with the Russian military’s slow progress achieving any of President Vladimir Putin’s stated objectives, have raised serious doubts among the country’s traditional customers for weapons exports. Russia sells almost 90% of its weapons to just 10 countries, including India, Egypt and China.
What’s more, Russia’s ability to replace these equipment losses has been hampered by economic sanctions, which bars key foreign components like circuit boards. And Russia will almost certainly need to replace its own military hardware before it exports anything abroad.
That means that even countries that want to keep buying Russian tanks and fighter jets will have to wait in line or turn elsewhere to fulfill their defense needs.
2. Russia’s loss is China’s gain
The country that will likely see the greatest gains from Russia’s displacement as a major arms supplier is China.
In recent years, the country has taken a 4.6% share of the global arms trade, putting it in fourth place behind France’s 11%. At the same time, seven of the top 20 global defense companies in terms of revenues earned from defense sales are Chinese, signaling the sector’s big ambitions.
Currently, the Chinese government buys most of its weapons and vehicles from these domestic arms makers, but China has the capacity to export more military products abroad.
For example, China is already the world’s largest shipbuilder, so exporting more naval ships is a natural next step. The country is expanding its niche role in drone technology and attempting to leverage modernizing its air force with domestically built aircraft to increase exports.
At the moment, only three of the world’s 40 biggest arms importers – Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar – buy a majority of their weapons from China. That could change if China takes advantage of Russian weakness to position itself as a reliable national security, economic and political partner – a core feature of its Belt and Road Initiative.
China is not capable of supplanting U.S. and European weapons, which are considered “top shelf” because of their high quality and price. But China may well fill the market niche that Russian arms makers dominated, thereby increasing Beijing’s role as a major weapons exporter – and gaining the political and economic benefits that accompany that.
One of China’s biggest challenges will involve proving that its weapons work well in live combat situations.
3. American arms makers will also be big winners
U.S. weapons manufactures dominate the global arms industry. The Ukraine war will likely ensure this stays that way for some time.
The world’s five largest arms companies are all American: Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics. In fact, half of the top 100 producers of arms are based in the U.S. Twenty are European. Only two are Russian – despite the country being the world’s second-largest source of arms.
The massive amounts of weapons being transferred from the U.S. to Ukraine will keep American arms makers busy for some time to come. For example, the U.S. has transferred about one-third of its stock of Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine, and it will take three to four years for the Raytheon-Lockheed Martin joint venture to replace them. The US$40 billion aid package recently signed by President Joe Biden includes $8.7 billion to replenish U.S. weapons stocks.
The companies’ soaring stock prices are a sign investors believe profitable days are ahead. Lockheed Martin’s stock price is up over 12% since the invasion began – with most of the gains occurring in its immediate aftermath. Northrop Grumman has jumped 20%. At the same time, the broader stock market as measured by the S&P 500 has slumped about 4%.
4. More countries will become arms makers
The flipside to this is that some countries that relied on others for their defense needs may seek to become more self-sufficient.
India, which relied on Russia for almost half of its weapons imports in recent years, is realizing that Russia will need most or all of its production capacity to replace tanks, missiles, aircraft and other weapons used or lost in Ukraine, with less leftover for export.
That means India will need to either source spare parts for vehicles and weapons from other former Russia arms customers such as Bulgaria, Georgia and Poland, or build up its own defense industry. In April, India announced it would ramp up production of helicopters, tank engines, missiles and early airborne warning systems to offset any potential reduction in Russian exports.
Concerns about Russian reliability are also growing. In May, India canceled a $520 billion helicopter deal with Russia. While there are reports U.S. pressure played a role, it also seems to be part of the government’s strategy over the past few years to build its own domestic defense industrial base.
Brazil, Turkey and other emerging market countries have also been developing their own defense industries over the past two decades to reduce their reliance on arms imports. The Ukraine war will accelerate this process.
Putin likely didn’t expect to shake up the global arms market with his effort to annex Ukraine – or cause the decline of his country’s weapons sector. But that’s just one more way his war is causing a geopolitical earthquake.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Police in North Carolina's largest city say they've broken a 7-year-old record for the number of guns seized by officers in a month in May.
A news release from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said 413 firearms related to criminal investigations were seized last month, including a number of guns connected to a person apprehended with the help of a tracking device.
According to police, officers reported multiple locations were targeted by someone breaking into cars and seizing items. The suspect had broken into 14 cars, the news release said. One of the victims told police he had a GPS device attached to his stolen backpack, which officers traced to a home on the north side of the city.
The suspect ran from officers and sped away in a car, but using the tracking device, officers caught him and took him into custody. The suspect faces multiple charges, including felony larceny and possession of a stolen firearm.
So far this year, CMPD says it has seized 1,230 guns, up 11% from 2021. The number of guns seized this year is 40% higher than the average over the last five years, police said. | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/NC-police-department-breaks-gun-seizure-record-in-17224548.php | 2022-06-07T13:32:19Z | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/NC-police-department-breaks-gun-seizure-record-in-17224548.php | false | 14 |
ROCK HILL, S.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Two parents in Rock Hill were arrested Tuesday after police said their five children tested positive for illegal drugs, according to the Rock Hill Police Department.
Authorities said the Department of Social Services forwarded a case to Rock Hill Police on June 2 after an incident at a home in the 1000 block of Glenarden Drive.
During the investigation, detectives said they discovered that the children in the home, ages one to five, had tested positive for illegal narcotics.
26-year-old Adrienne Knuckles and 44-year-old Demitrius Baxter, the parents of the children, were arrested Tuesday and charged with five counts each of Unlawful Conduct Towards a Child.
Police said the charges stem from the parents exposing the children to the drugs that placed them at an “unreasonable risk of harm.” | https://www.fox46.com/crime-and-public-safety/5-kids-ages-1-to-5-test-positive-for-drugs-parents-charged-rock-hill-police-say/ | 2022-06-07T13:32:27Z | https://www.fox46.com/crime-and-public-safety/5-kids-ages-1-to-5-test-positive-for-drugs-parents-charged-rock-hill-police-say/ | true | null |
Red Ventures saves more than $500k a year through increased engineer productivity with Astro
SAN FRANCISCO and CINCINNATI, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Astronomer today announced the release of Astro, a modern data orchestration platform powered by Apache® Airflow™, on Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud, with Microsoft Azure support slated for this summer. The platform improves the open-source Airflow experience to help teams make sense of their data ecosystem, build faster, and reduce their operational management and risk.
"Data engineers have one of the hardest jobs in a company, as the demand for timely, trusted data only increases each day," said Joe Otto, Astronomer CEO. "As the commercial steward of the Apache Airflow project for more than four years, we've seen thousands of Airflow environments and deeply understand the challenges that teams face when integrating and managing data at scale. We have taken those learnings to build Astro, a product that is as easy to use as it is to get started."
Astro empowers data teams of all sizes and at every stage of their data orchestration journey. Data orchestration seeks to break down silos to make data accessible across an entire organization, enabling teams to make critical business decisions with trusted data. Early data orchestration practices rely on disconnected, error-prone processes that result in considerable time and financial losses. Astro automates and simplifies every step of data orchestration, deployed as a fully managed service in your cloud.
Red Ventures, a global media company that has built a portfolio of influential brands including CNET, Healthline, and Lonely Planet, uses Astro in its Red Digital group to power the flow of data and understand and optimize customer journeys on behalf of its customers.
"I want our engineers to focus on data pipelines that benefit our customers, not managing Airflow or building an orchestration platform," said Jason Rich, director of data engineering at Red Ventures. "When I consider the alternatives, the productivity they get with Astro and the Airflow experts at Astronomer saves Red Ventures more than $500k each year."
Astro is cloud-optimized for security, reliability, efficiency and performance. The platform provides end-to-end observability across environments, regions and clouds, with these notable features and capabilities:
- Eliminate 80% of upfront, manual boilerplate code through a next generation pipeline authoring experience
- Astro software development kit (SDK), providing a set of building blocks to bring data awareness into users' pipelines
- A differentiated, auto-scaling Runtime that takes the guesswork out of configuring Airflow to achieve optimal performance
- In-place Airflow upgrades with Day-1 support on the latest releases, which no other solution can offer
- A central user interface that displays the health and resource consumption of deployments in a single place
- Enterprise-grade access management, connectivity and hardening
- Global support and customer success programs, including training and professional services, backed by the core developers of Airflow
Astronomer recently raised a $213 million Series C round and is backed by leading venture capital firms Bain Capital Ventures, Insight Partners, J.P. Morgan, K5 Global, Meritech Capital, Salesforce Ventures, Sierra Ventures, Sutter Hill Ventures and Venrock.

RALEIGH — A couple of months ago, the University of North Carolina Board of Governors voted to keep the system’s admissions process “test optional” through the fall of 2024. University leaders said that to do otherwise in the aftermath of COVID-19 would be unfair to students and harmful to UNC’s constituent campuses.
If you squint really hard, you may detect some validity to this claim. But I recommend going into the next two years with eyes wide open. Political activists have been trying for decades to get rid of standardized testing as a major factor in college admissions. They will pressure UNC to make what is now a four-year suspension of the test-score requirement into a permanent abolition.
Critics of requiring SAT or ACT scores from prospective students have long made two arguments. First, they argue that standardized tests are biased against non-white and low-income students. Second, they argue that test scores aren’t necessary to make good admissions decisions because grade-point average (GPA) is the best predictor of college success.
The first argument is incorrect. There are significant gaps in average scores between low-income test-takers and other students, and among various racial and ethnic groups. But these gaps are not by themselves evidence that the tests are biased. By high school, there are very real differences in academic preparation across these categories. For the most part, standardized tests are reporting these differences, not causing them.
That’s what the preponderance of the empirical evidence shows. It’s also a logical conclusion to draw from the fact that students of Asian descent, for example, tend to have significantly higher average test scores than white students do. Are the SAT and ACT culturally biased in favor of Asians, including many who are first- or second-generation Americans? Of course not.
There’s stronger support for the second argument against standardized tests, that GPAs are better at predicting performance in college. Research findings differ, but generally speaking the correlation between GPAs and college success is a bit stronger than the one between test scores and college success. That may well be because GPAs reflect years of study, writing, and test-taking while an ACT or SAT score reflects student performance at a single (often stressful) point in time.
Still, if the goal is accurately to predict how high-school students will fare in college, there’s a better option that just relying on GPAs, which may in some cases be skewed by school location or grade inflation. What’s that option? Combining GPAs and test scores together, as admissions offices have been doing for decades.
Consider the findings of a 2019 study in the American Educational Research Journal. The authors concluded that grades were a good predictor because they signified forms of self-discipline likely to boost student success in both high school and college. “Affirmation of the relevance of teacher-assigned grades, however, is not an indictment of standardized admissions tests,” they stated. “In our investigation, test scores added unique predictive power, over and above grades and demographic characteristics, for college graduation.”
A 2021 study published in the journal Educational Assessment also found that “institutions could better predict undergraduate academic performance when using [GPA] and standardized test scores together than when using [GPA] alone.”
As American Enterprise Institute scholar Rick Hess points out, the elimination of test scores from the admissions process is unlikely to result in a laser-like focus on grades, anyway. What would happen instead is a rise in the importance of other factors — essays, letters of recommendations, and lists of extracurricular activities — that can be difficult to compare fairly and that may even work to the advantage of well-off students with comparatively poor study habits.
COVID-19 certainly did disrupt both schooling and test preparation for many young North Carolinians. So I can understand why university leaders proposed the original suspension of test-score requirements in 2020, and why some think the suspension should last until 2024. But setting the precedent was itself risky. The rigor of the UNC system merits defense.

Russell's leadership, passion and business acumen have resulted in assembling an impressive and diverse portfolio of business ventures. A graduate of NC State University with a master's degree from the University of Wisconsin, he has landed major endorsements and global ambassadorships with companies including Nike, Microsoft, Wilson, Bose, Amazon, Verizon and Fanatics, among others.

In 2020, Ciara, along with husband Russell Wilson, launched The House of LR&C, a new concept in retail built upon the principles of Love, Respect, and Care, with a focus on doing good.
Wilson and Ciara are committed philanthropists. The Wilsons co-founded the Why Not You Foundation with a focus on pediatric cancer, fighting poverty and education. Since 2014, they have raised more than $10 million for pediatric cancer research. Recently they became New York Times Bestselling authors with the release of their first children's book "Why Not You" (Random House) which was inspired by the work they do through their foundation. Through the foundation, the Wilsons also funded a charter school in Seattle, which opened in late 2021.

Under her leadership, Disney transformed its advertising strategy and influenced the industry at large, resulting in a consultative and insights-led sales approach that allows clients to drive maximum growth in their businesses.

In 2018, she was named to Variety's Power of Women New York Impact list, honoring women across all aspects of the entertainment industry who are making an impact.
Buster Posey is a former Major League Baseball player who is a seven-time All-Star, three-time World Series champion, and 2012 National League MVP. He spent his entire 12-year career as the catcher for the San Francisco Giants. Prior to being drafted, Posey attended Florida State University. In 2016, Buster and his wife Kristen, launched the BP28 Foundation, which is focused on changing the outcomes for pediatric cancer patients by raising funds for pioneering research and treatment. To date, BP28 has raised more than $5.5 million; the Poseys have also spent hundreds of hours supporting patients and their families in their many hospital visits and hosting them at Giants games. The BP28 Foundation has partnered with the V Foundation to fund lifesaving research for young cancer patients.
Jeff Berry is an attorney, sports agent, and the longtime co-head of CAA Sports' baseball division. A graduate of UNC Charlotte, Berry played one season in the minor leagues before attending Oklahoma City University School of Law where he received his Juris Doctor in 1998. Berry has been an agent for over two decades, and Forbes Magazine has repeatedly recognized him as one of The World's Most Powerful Sports Agents. Known as a fierce player advocate, Berry has negotiated multiple record setting contracts and been an outspoken voice on labor issues and rule changes within the baseball industry.
"The V Foundation is adding five exceptional leaders to our board of directors," said Evan Goldberg, chair of the V Foundation board. "There has been tremendous progress in cancer research, but there is more work to be done. Led by a strong board and fueled by Jim Valvano's call to action, the V Foundation is committed to accelerating the research that will lead to cures for cancer."
The V Foundation Board of Directors provides guidance to ensure the sustainability and long-term effectiveness of the organization while upholding its core principles.

Lettuce shortage forces KFC to offer cabbage in Australia
By Michelle Toh, CNN Business
KFC has been forced to make menu changes again in Australia, as the fast food chain is hit with shortages of key ingredients. This time it’s lettuce.
The company posted a notice on its local website this week telling customers it would add cabbage to some of its products because lettuce crops around the country had been destroyed by recent floods.
“We’re using a lettuce and cabbage blend on all products containing lettuce until further notice,” it said, citing a shortage following high waters in New South Wales and Queensland.
The change will affect KFC restaurants in those states, as well as Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania, and is expected to cover items such as its Zinger Burgers and Crunch Twister wraps.
Customers who prefer not to have the substitution can opt out, the chain said.
Food producers all over the world are grappling with shortages of various kinds as supplies continue to be diminished or delayed by a series of crises, including a pandemic-related lack of labor, adverse weather and Russia’s war with Ukraine.
Earlier this year, KFC in Australia even struggled to secure its most important ingredient: fresh chicken.
It temporarily removed some items from the menu at certain locations around the country as its suppliers were affected by staff shortages related to Covid-19.
Meanwhile, in Japan, McDonald’s was also temporarily forced to stop selling medium and large portions of fries after delays in potato shipments to the country.
Last summer, milkshakes were temporarily unavailable at McDonald’s in the United Kingdom because of similar issues.
And Nando’s, the popular British chain, was forced to take the drastic step of closing some of its restaurants in August after running low on chicken for its signature peri peri dish.
In the United States, chains such as Taco Bell and Chick-fil-A were also hit by ingredient shortages during the pandemic, forcing them to temporarily pull back on certain offerings for customers.

The Health Secretary has likened the NHS to a now-defunct video rental store in a world dominated by streaming services, saying the country has a “Blockbuster healthcare system in the age of Netflix”.
Downing Street said Sajid Javid told a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday that it is “no longer simply an option to stick to the status quo”, and the Government had set the NHS a target of “dramatically improving productivity” to save £4.5 billion per year.
But the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said there was no new money to cover the reforms, beyond what had already been set out by Chancellor Rishi Sunak.
He told reporters: “The Health and Social Care Secretary updated Cabinet on the scale of the challenge post-pandemic, saying we had the Blockbuster healthcare system in the age of Netflix. He said it was no longer simply an option to stick to the status quo.
“He said large-scale changes were needed in areas such as the use of technology and data to help frontline workers deliver the high-quality service the public expects.
Netflix
“He said the Government had set the NHS a target of dramatically improving productivity to save £4.5 billion a year.”
Asked what was meant by the Blockbuster and Netflix analogy, the PM’s spokesman said the Health Secretary was making the point that some of the “structures and systems” within the healthcare system were “designed for a different age”.
Mr Javid is of the view that there needs to be “big and bold changes to the NHS and care system so the public can get the level of service they expect”, he said.
But asked if there would be any new funds to cover the cost, the spokesman said: “There is no further investment beyond obviously … the funding envelope already set out by the Chancellor.”
Blockbuster closed its remaining stores in the UK in December 2013, after administrators were unable to find a buyer for the chain.
It had been hit hard by intense competition from supermarkets, as well as the shift from physical rental and sales to online games, music and films.
Downing Street said Boris Johnson told his Cabinet the Government was “rightly investing massive sums into the NHS and social care system” and that “the public will want to see further improvements in the service they receive as a result”.

Rajya Sabha polls: After ACB, Raj Congress writes to CEC fearing horse-trading
The ruling Congress on Tuesday approached the chief electoral officer here and requested him to maintain extra vigilance due to the possibility of MLAs' horse-trading during the Rajya Sabha polls to be held on June 10.
Jaipur: The ruling Congress on Tuesday approached the chief electoral officer here and requested him to maintain extra vigilance due to the possibility of MLAs' horse-trading during the Rajya Sabha polls to be held on June 10.
The Rajasthan government's chief whip and cabinet minister Mahesh Joshi, in a letter to the Chief Election Commissioner, said that the election department needs to keep a watch on the people involved in horse-trading and if caught, strict action should be taken against such people.
He met the chief electoral officer and handed over the letter addressed to the Chief Election Commissioner.
Joshi recently approached the Anti-Corruption Bureau, expressing apprehensions of horse-trading. He went to the ACB office on Sunday and gave a written complaint to DG-ACB, B.L. Soni, requesting him that a watch be kept on the people involved in horse-trading.
Congress and BJP MLAs have been kept in private hotels to check horse-trading in the run-up to the Rajya Sabha polls for four seats.
While the Congress MLAs have been shifted to Udaipur, the BJP MLAs have camped in Jaipur near Jamdoli.
The Rashtriya Loktantrik Party has announced to support Independent candidate Subhash Chandra, who is being backed by the BJP. This support gave a little relief to the BJP, while the Congress has been successful in placating BSP-turned Congress MLAs who were dissatisfied with the ruling party's style of working.
The Congress has fielded three candidates, Mukul Wasnik, Randeep Surjewala and Pramod Tiwar while the BJP has fielded Ghanshyam Tiwari as its official candidate besides backing Chandra who is contesting as an Independent.
The Congress is anticipating a smooth win in three seats with 108 MLAs while 13 Independents had already supported it earlier. Besides, it has one MLA from ally RLD and two MLAs each from BTP and CPM.
The BJP has 71 seats and needs 11 votes to touch 82 to win two seats. | https://www.thehansindia.com/news/national/rajya-sabha-polls-after-acb-raj-congress-writes-to-cec-fearing-horse-trading-747310 | 2022-06-07T13:47:43Z | https://www.thehansindia.com/news/national/rajya-sabha-polls-after-acb-raj-congress-writes-to-cec-fearing-horse-trading-747310 | false | 3 |

The BP28 Foundation has partnered with the V Foundation to fund lifesaving research for young cancer patients.

NAN also reports that no fewer than 2,322 delegates from the 774 local government areas of the country are expected to vote at the presidential primary, including the six area councils of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
APC Presidential Primary: Delegates go through accreditation amid tight security
Delegate accreditation for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Special Convention for presidential primary election is currently ongoing at the Abuja International Conference Centre amid tight security, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
The delegates, three from each local government area, were seen in different uniforms popularly called “aso-ebi”, especially those from Western and Southern region.
The delegates on queue would cast their votes for their preferred aspirant that would emerge as the party’s 2023 presidential candidate.
Although 23 presidential aspirants bought the party’s presidential Expression of Interest and Nomination forms to contest the presidency, 13 were cleared by the Chief John Odigie-Oyegun Presidential Screening Committee.
President Muhammadu Buhari at a dinner with the party’s presidential aspirants on Saturday backed the rotation of power to the southern part of the country in 2023.
This limited the number of aspirants that would be contesting the presidential ticket at the primary to those from the South if a consensus candidate was not picked.
NAN also reports that 11 governors from the North had in a statement on Saturday, announced their decision to support power shift to the South after Buhari’s tenure.
The governors, while urging presidential aspirants from the northern part of the country to step down from the 2023 presidential race, said “the decision to support power shift to the south is in the best interest of the country.”
Meanwhile, there is watertight security at the Abuja Eagle Square located in the Central Business District, venue of the APC special convention, as vehicular and human traffic had been restricted.
All roads leading to the Eagle Square had been cordoned off, with mobile policemen positioned at strategic positions.
There is also gridlock in most parts of the city, including Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent, Ibrahim Babangida Way and other areas, as commuters are seen trekking to cover some distance.
Some residents of the FCT said the day should have been declared a public holiday, while journalists slated to cover the event struggle to get accreditation tags from the convention accreditation committee as they are seen hanging around.
Meanwhile, the APC presidential primary election is expected to run through the night.

Premier luxury watch platform to enter new markets and expand services in key geographies for luxury collectibles
PHILADELPHIA, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WatchBox, the global leader in collectible luxury timepieces, today revealed renderings for its New York Collector's Lounge and presented the roadmap for its next phase of expansion. As WatchBox enters its fifth year, it continues to grow its international footprint, opening in Zurich and Riyadh in Q1 2022, and announcing its forthcoming presence in London and Shanghai within the next six months.
"WatchBox's expansion strategy targets regions with a strong growth forecast for the luxury watch segment," said Justin Reis, Global CEO and co-founder of WatchBox. "We're excited to expand our physical footprint in the United Kingdom and China, two of the top five global watch markets, where we will introduce our curated inventory and client advisory model. Both London and Shanghai have strong local watch cultures, and as leading destinations for international business, we aspire to be the home away from home for watch collectors around the world."
Since its 2017 founding, WatchBox has developed a presence in the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland, and the Middle East, where a joint venture with Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons has established the company in Dubai and Riyadh. The next phase of growth will bring the Collector's Lounge concept to key U.S. markets.
Conceptualized with acclaimed design firm Studio Mellone, WatchBox is cultivating a distinctive experience through Andre Mellone's vision. The Brazilian designer has earned a reputation for creating spaces that are contemporary, chic, and inviting; and noted projects include designs for Thom Browne, Carolina Herrera, Jason Wu, and 25 Park Row's spa-like amenities floor. Mellone's concept for WatchBox will come to life in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and Boca Raton. The New York Collector's Lounge will be a flagship for the company, scheduled to open in Q3 2022.
"Old concepts of retail, residential, and hospitality are all merging into one. Stores look like homes; homes look like hotels…it's all about warmth and excitement and appreciation for design," shared Andre Mellone. "Spaces should be impactful and exciting, but feel comfortable, and have a staying power." On his inspiration for the WatchBox spaces, Mellone added, "I've always been a fan of the design aspects of early James Bond films. There's a cool, un-self-conscious, playful sexiness to them that I felt would perfectly match the concept for WatchBox."
Mellone's signature style will encompass a 5,000 square foot space on the fourth floor of the landmark Fuller Building at 57th Street and Madison Avenue in Midtown, Manhattan. The lounge will merge event space with private showrooms, a boardroom, video and digital media studios, and a hands-on "watch lab," where visitors can examine, learn, and work with WatchBox's dedicated advisory team as they explore the company's curated watch collections. A vibrant agenda of events and programming will accompany the opening later this year.
"As we amplify the WatchBox experience globally, a community-driven philosophy guides the way," Reis shared. "Our clients and client advisors are drawn together by a common passion for collecting and fascination with horology. With Andre's influence, we sought to design immersive environments, combining retail with entertainment, personalized service, and social connection; and of course, watches will be a centerpiece of this experience."
Locations in Miami's Design District, The Boca Raton resort, and an expansive lounge, showroom, and event space in West Hollywood will open later this year.

LOS ANGELES: An unreleased song by music icon Freddie Mercury, recorded for his band Queen's 13th studio album 'The Miracle', will come out in September this year.
Founding members of Queen -- Brian May and Roger Taylor -- shared the details about the song in an interview with BBC Radio 2.
"We did find a little gem from Freddie, that we'd kind of forgotten about. It's wonderful, actually. It was a real discovery. It's from The Miracle sessions, and I think it's going to be out in September," Taylor said.
May added that the song was kind of hiding in plain sight.
"We looked at it many times and thought, oh no, we can't really rescue that. But in fact, we went in there again and our wonderful engineering team went, okay, we can do this and this. It's like kind of stitching bits together. But it's a beautiful and touching piece."
'The Miracle' was released in 1989 and during a radio interview with DJ Mike Read, Mercury stated that they had recorded 30 songs while working on the album. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/english/2022/jun/07/queen-band-to-drop-unreleased-freddie-mercury-song-in-september-2462761.html | 2022-06-07T13:52:41Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/english/2022/jun/07/queen-band-to-drop-unreleased-freddie-mercury-song-in-september-2462761.html | false | 2 |
Three arrested in connection to a 2017 quadruple murder in Washington state
KITSAP COUNTY, Wash. (KING) - After five years, a family in Washington state finally has some answers after three people were arrested in connection to a quadruple murder in 2017.
“It’s been rough, it’s been extremely rough. It’s been tough,” family member Terry Schapp said.
In January 2017, Christale Careaga, Jonathon Higgins and Hunter Schapp were all killed and their bodies were found inside their burned-out home. Two days later, Christale Careaga’s husband, John Careaga was found shot to death inside his burned Ford F-150 truck.
Lt. Ken Dickinson of the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office says investigators have been working to find the perpetrators ever since.
“Our detectives have never given up. If our community suffers a loss like this one, we’re gonna run down every lead, go to every end that we can possibly go to, to hold people that need to be held accountable, accountable,” Dickinson said.
That work finally led to three arrests this week.
Two of the men were arrested in Bremerton, Washington. The third was arrested in Gig Harbor, Washington.
Each suspect was booked for 16 different charges each. Their bail was set at $20 million.
“In my 28 years, I’ve never seen an arrest that had that many criminal charges, to be booked into jail. I’ve never seen one where the judge set bail at $20 million, so this is new territory for us. This is unprecedented,” Dickinson said.
The Careaga family continues to mourn, but they hope for a silver lining that the ones responsible may still face justice.
“I know it’s far from over, but I’m happy that today’s here,” Schapp said.
The suspects are expected to be arraigned Tuesday.

Best hiking boots for women UK 2022: what to look for, and ladies’ walking boots from Keen, Jack Wolfskin, On
This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement.
Get kitted up to tackle any kind of trail – and any weather conditions – in a great pair of hikingboots.
There’s a huge range of choice on the market when shopping for walking boots, and the biggest decision is whether to go for leather or fabric boots.
Leather, fabric, or both?
Leather is naturally waterproof but can be stiff and heavy, and takes a while to break in and mould comfortably to your feet.
Fabric boots tend to be lighter and can feel more like wearing comfortable trainers straight out of the box, but are less durable and less warm than leather.
Leather is best for winter and mountain walks, while fabric is ideal for travelling and more casual use in spring and summer. If you can afford to, it’s a good idea to own a pair of each.
Best women’s walking boots at a glance
- Best style, comfort, sustainability: Cloudrock Edge Raw
- Best for cushioning footfall: Hoka One One Tennine Boot
- Best for hiking in colder climes: Keen Karraig Boot
- Best for comfort: Giesswein Wool Cross X Alpine boot
- Best for cold weather: Le Chameau Lite LCX® Low 7” Boot
- Best for trekking: Jack Wolfskin Wilderness Lite
- Best for those on a budget: Regatta Highton Stretch Boot
- Best for casual walking: Sorel Kinetic Boots
- Best for summer hiking: Salomon Vaya Boot
- Best for quality: Hanwag Banks Lady Boot
What to look for in a boot
Your boots must be waterproof (for wet weather) and breathable (for warm temperatures). Look for boots with built-in waterproofing technology such as Gore-Tex and with thick, bouncy soles with deep lugs (the indentation that help give good grip) – we always rate Vibram soles on test.
Good boots should include a breathable membrane to wick away sweat and keep your feet from overheating.
Check that your new boots feel comfortable when tightly laced, with plenty of wiggle room for toes and without too much room to move your heel. If the boots have a high ankle, your ankle should feel nicely supported without any rubbing.
Wider feet? Look for boots that specify a wide fit, especially if you have bunions. Expect to pay around the £150 mark for a great pair of boots, although we’ve also included a great option for tighter budgets. Look after your new boots well and you’ll get many seasons of wear out of them.
Get kitted out for your hiking and backpacking adventures.
We have detailed guides to the best backpacking tents for your adventures here. Want to steady your stride? These are the best walking poles for hiking.
Keep it comfy with the best camping folding chairs, and sleep on the best air beds around, as listed here. And keep things illuminated with a great camping head torch.
On Cloudrock Edge Raw Boot
Key specs – Material: Synthetic; Waterproof technology: Polyurethane waterproof membrane; Weight: 390g; Colour options: 1
These beautiful pale boots look a little different from your average hiking boots for good reason – they’re totally undyed and are made with recycled materials to minimise their environmental impact.
The Edge Raw is fully waterproofed, and we liked the high narrow ankle and tight lacing system, which give great support. Impressively deep lugs also offer great grip, even in wet weather.
Each boot weighs just 390g, and the Edge Raw offers trainer-like comfort even on longer walks.
The only downside to this smart and sustainably-designed boot is that it does look dirty very quickly.
Hoka One One Tennine Boot
Key specs – Material: Synthetic; Waterproof technology: Gore-Tex; Weight: 416g; Colour options: 1
Hoka describe these rather bonkers boots as ‘part hovercraft, part hiking boot’, and we’d have to agree.
Those massive soles really do make you feel a little like you’re walking on air - the Tennines definitely do feel deliciously light and comfy, even if you’re clocking up the miles.
There’s lots of substance as well as style here – the Tennines have reliably Gore-Tex waterproofing and tough Vibram soles.
The look of these futuristic boots is a bit like Marmite, but if you love them then you’ll definitely stand out from the hiking crowd.
Keen Karraig Boot
Key specs – Material: Leather; Waterproof technology: Keen.Dry; Weight: 600g; Colour options: 1
Love to go off the beaten track? Keen’s Karraig could be your new best friend. This high-performing leather hiking boot is warm, waterproof and instantly comfortable.
We loved the high, supportive and well-padded ankle, which doesn’t let rain in, the protected toe box and the thick soles, which offer great grip even on slippery surfaces.
Karraigs aren’t lightweight, and thus are best suited for cooler weather – take them outdoors from autumn to spring and they’ll do you proud.
Giesswein Wool Cross X Alpine boot
Key specs – Material: Merino wool; Waterproof technology: Water resistant; Weight: 430g; Colour options: 1
We’ve always been fans of Giesswein’s butter-soft Merino wool trainers, so we were excited to try their new foray into hiking boots, the Cross X Alpine.
Merino wool has properties that make it perfect for hiking boots – it wicks away sweat, regulates temperature and doesn’t smell, plus it’s light weight.
The Alpine boots sport a tough sole with decent grip and a soft, fleecy inner lining, and they’re pleasingly light on the feet at 430g. These boots may be made with wool but they’re still water repellent enough to deal with a sudden shower.
That said, we’d recommend picking a fully waterproofed boot if you’re heading out into stormy weather.
Chameau-Lite LCX 7” Boot
Key specs – Material: Leather; Waterproof technology: Le Chameau LCX® technology; Weight: 625g; Colour options: 1
Le Chameau specialise in tough hunting boots and smart wellingtons, but their rugged and weatherproof boot designs are also perfect for hikers.
The LCX boot isn’t the lightest we tested at 625g, but what it loses in the weight stakes it more than makes up for in performance.
It’s fully waterproofed and can deal with the foulest weather you throw at it, and great soles with deep lugs offer excellent grip on all surfaces.
The boots are also surprisingly breathable, and their dark leather finish looks very smart, too. Expensive, but brilliant quality that should last you for years.
Jack Wolfskin Wilderness Lite Texapore Boot
Key specs – Material: Synthetic; Waterproof technology: Texapore; Weight: 535g; Colour options: 1
If you’re heading into the wilderness you’re going to need a boot that can keep up.
Jack Wolfskin’s Wilderness Lite got top marks from us on test – it’s comfortable, waterproof, highly breathable and has a thick grippy Vibram sole that can deal with pretty much any surface you decide to hike over.
A tough toe cap protects your feet in challenging terrain and the lacing system keeps your foot well supported. If you’re more into mountain treks than country walks, this is a high-performing choice.
Regatta Highton Stretch Boot
Key specs – Material: Synthetic; Waterproof technology: Isotex; Weight: 379g; Colour options: 2
Our top pick on a budget is Regatta’s Highton Stretch boot, which definitely punches above its £60 price tag.
These fabric boots are lightweight at 379g each, and feel very comfortable to wear straight out of the box.
Regatta’s own-brand Isotex waterproofing can withstand any sudden rainfall, and the rubber outsoles offer decent grip. The Highton Stretch boots are also suitable for vegans (many mainstream hiking boots aren’t).
A great first hiking boot.
Sorel Kinetic Conquest Boot
Key specs – Material: leather, suede; Waterproof technology: Waterproofed leather; Weight: 460g; Colour options: 3
Meet Sorel’s Kinetic Conquest, which feels like you’re wearing your favourite trainers but has the looks of a retro hiking boot.
The Kinetic is made with very supple, comfortable suede leather and feels pleasingly light underfoot - those big wave-like soles are very bouncy and, combined with well-cushioned inner soles, make these boots feel great to wear all day long.
An insulated lining also means the Kinetic Conquests stay cosy even when the temperature drops.
We love the soft suede outer and the fleece-y tongue of these boots, but they aren’t really suitable for the toughest (or the muddiest) conditions – save them for more casual walks.
Salomon Vaya Boot
Key specs – Material: Synthetic; Waterproof technology: Gore-Tex; Weight: 330g; Colour options: 2
While Salomon’s light-as-a-feather Vaya boot works well for hiking year-round, it really stands out in warmer weather – it’s so highly breathable and lightweight, you’ll barely feel like you’re wearing boots at all, even on the dog days of summer.
The flexible fabric feels comfortable even on all-day hikes, and is fully waterproofed with Gore-Tex. The Vayas do have rather wide-cut ankles, so you’ll need to lace them tightly for a snug fit.
A great choice for walking holidays, travelling and backpacking.
Hanwag Banks Lady Boot
Key specs – Material: Nubuck leather; Waterproof technology; Gore-Tex; Weight: 525g; Colour options: 4
There’s a lot to like in Hanwag’s classic Banks boot. It combines our tried-and-tested combination of Vibram soles and Gore-Tex waterproofing, and can tackle tough, rocky terrain and very wet weather without any problems.
We also rate the high cut of the ankle, which offers great support and makes these boots ideal for wearing on more challenging trails.
The Banks are on the stiff and heavy side, but they do become more flexible with use. A narrow and a wider version of the boot are also available, to help you get the perfect fit. | https://www.lutontoday.co.uk/recommended/best-hiking-boots-women-walking-uk-2022-3084344 | 2022-06-07T13:54:11Z | https://www.lutontoday.co.uk/recommended/best-hiking-boots-women-walking-uk-2022-3084344 | true | 21 |
What happened
Shares of data center operator Switch (NYSE: SWCH) jumped 13% in May, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. While the company reported strong first-quarter results last month, the big driver was its agreement to a buyout transaction with two infrastructure investors.
So what
First-quarter results, reported in early May, showed $164.6 million in revenue, up 26% from the year-ago quarter. That's due to the recent acquisition of Data Foundry and strong organic growth as customers secure more capacity in its data centers.
Switch also noted that demand for space in its data centers remains strong. CEO Rob Roy stated that "our longer-term sales funnel remains at or above record levels as we continue to see high levels of customer interest for Switch Tier 5 data center capacity scheduled to come online in 2023 and 2024."
The strong market conditions in the data center industry have caught the attention of data-focused infrastructure investors. That's caused a wave of acquisitions in the sector, with several data center REITs agreeing to buyout deals over the last year. Switch is the latest data center company joining the consolidation wave, agreeing to be taken private in an $11 billion all-cash deal last month.
Infrastructure investors DigitalBridge Group (NYSE: DBRG) and IFM Investors agreed to acquire all the outstanding shares of Switch for $34.25 apiece. That's an 11% premium to its trading price the day before the deal announcement and 66% above where shares traded last August when an activist investor pressed the company to consider converting into a REIT. Switch expects the deal to close in the second half of 2022.
Now what
Switch's rally following the buyout announcement has shares currently trading within 2% of the agreed-upon price. While a higher offer could emerge (there were reports of a bidding war for the company), that seems less likely given that a few weeks have passed since Switch announced its deal. Because of that, investors seeking exposure to the data center sector might want to consider one of the two remaining data center REITs instead of Switch.
Industry leaders Digital Realty Trust (NYSE: DLR) and Equinix (NASDAQ: EQIX) have long histories of creating value for their shareholders by building and buying new data centers to support steady dividend growth. Both REITs also have excellent growth prospects, including several data centers under development. Those features make them look like attractive long-term investment opportunities.

GENEVA — Investigators commissioned by the U.N.'s top human rights body say tensions between Palestinians and Israelis are underpinned by Israel's "perpetual occupation" of Palestinian areas with no apparent intention of ending it.
The findings came Tuesday in the first report by a Commission of Inquiry, headed by a three-person team of human rights experts. It was set up last year by the U.N.-backed Human Rights Council following an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. The U.N. human rights office says the war killed at least 261 people – including 67 children – in Gaza, and 14 people, including two children, in Israel.
The commission, headed by former U.N. human rights chief Navi Pillay, is the first to have an "ongoing" mandate from the U.N. rights body. Critics allege that permanent scrutiny testifies to an anti-Israel bias in the 47-member-state council and other U.N. bodies. Proponents say the commission is needed to keep tabs on persistent injustices faced by Palestinians under decades of Israeli rule.
The report largely recaps efforts by U.N. investigators over the years to grapple with the causes of Mideast violence and the authors acknowledged it was in part a "review" of previous U.N. findings.
"What has become a situation of perpetual occupation was cited by Palestinian and Israeli stakeholders to the commission as the one common issue" that amounts to the "underlying root cause" of recurrent tensions, instability and protracted conflict, the authors wrote. They said "impunity" for perpetrators of violence was feeding resentment among Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem.
Israel's government, which opposed the creation of the commission, refused to grant its members access to Israel or Palestinian territories, and testimonies from Palestinians and Israelis were collected from Geneva and Jordan.
Israel's Foreign Ministry rejected the report as "part and parcel of the witch hunt carried out by the Human Rights Council against Israel."
It called the report biased and one-sided and accused the commission members of ignoring Palestinian violence, incitement and antisemitism. "The Commission members, who claim to be objective, were only appointed to their roles because of their public and well-known anti-Israel stances, in direct opposition to the rules set out by the United Nations," it said.
The report's authors cited "credible" evidence that "convincingly indicates that Israel has no intention of ending the occupation" and has plans to ensure complete control of Palestinian areas. Israel's government, it added, has been "acting to alter the demography through the maintenance of a repressive environment for Palestinians and a favorable environment for Israeli settlers."
They also voiced criticism of Palestinian leaders, saying the Palestinian Authority, which administers autonomous areas in parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, frequently refers to the occupation as a justification for its own human rights violations. It also points to the occupation as the core reason for failure to hold legislative and presidential elections, the authors said. The PA is widely criticized for corruption and intolerance for dissent.
As for Hamas authorities in Gaza, the commission said they show little commitment toward upholding human rights and little adherence to international law. Since seizing control of Gaza in 2007, Hamas has shown little tolerance for political dissent and been accused of torturing opponents.
Israel captured the West Bank and east Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Gaza Strip from Egypt in the 1967 Mideast war.
It has annexed east Jerusalem and claims the area — home to the city's most important holy sites — as part of its capital. It considers the West Bank to be "disputed" territory and has built scores of Jewish settlements there. Over 700,000 Israeli settlers now live in the two areas.
The internationally recognized Palestinian Authority seeks the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza for an independent state. The international community overwhelmingly considers all three areas to be occupied by Israel.
Rights groups have accused both Israel and Hamas of committing war crimes during last year's fighting. Israel vehemently denies the allegations, accusing Hamas of endangering civilians by using residential areas for cover during military operations.

The final stage of a local Aboriginal art project at Back Creek South West Rocks has finished up with a beautifully mosaiced timber seat installed at the significant location.
Kempsey Shire Council has collaborated with South West Rocks Figtree Descendants Aboriginal Corporation and the Out There Collective, to create a culturally symbolic mosaic and resin artwork for a timber seat in Back Creek reserve.

This project came about following discussions with the local Aboriginal community to have more cultural representation in this significant area and connect the residents to Aboriginal culture of the area.
Kempsey Shire Council Acting Coordinator Community Development, Paul Koch, said finishing the project off with such a detailed masterpiece has been the cherry on top of a wonderful joint project.
"Exploring opportunities to appreciate and celebrate local Dunghutti and Thunggutti culture in everyday life is one of the ways Council is making stronger relationships with our local Aboriginal communities," said Mr Koch.
"Like bollard wraps installed during stage one, the same three totem sea creatures are featured on the seat as well as beautifully coloured resin artwork representing the ocean."
South West Rocks Figtree Descendants Aboriginal Corporation, Nancy Pattison, said the inspiration behind the artwork was stunning and cultural significance of Back Beach.
"The resin artwork represents reminds me of my connection to saltwater as well as the healing and connectedness the oceans bring to us all," said Ms Pattison.
At the May Meeting, Council historically adopted it's first Reconciliation Action Plan which outlines the steps Council will take to make the Kempsey Shire more united and celebrate our rich Aboriginal heritage. You can view the plan at Reconciliation Action Plan.

Good morning, folks!
Starting the morning with temps in the 60s and 70s. Partly cloudy skies have taken over and will continue through midday. More sunshine by the afternoon with seasonal temps and light winds. Isolated storms will begin to move in from SE Colorado by this evening. Storms will become more scattered as the move closer to the interstate. These storms have the possibility of going severe with a slight risk of severe weather across the top half of the area. Our main threats will be damaging winds and large hail. Precipitation will continue across the area for the next two days as scattered storms will be possible on Thursday and isolated on Friday. For both days there is a marginal risk of severe weather.
Temps will be on the rise through the seven day as temps look to reach triple digits by the weekend. A few disturbances will try to bring some isolated storms into the area for the weekend. More details to come.
Have a great day,

The Cleveland Browns and QB Baker Mayfield seem headed for a divorce but that has been true since the team acquired QB Deshaun Watson over two months ago. Since then, the NFL draft has come and gone with a majority of major moves in the NFL having also been completed.
Yet, a week into June, Mayfield remains on the Browns roster and we are no closer to knowing what the conclusion of this saga will be. The simplest solution, a trade with the Carolina Panthers, fizzled out on draft night leaving very limited simple options.
That brings us to another quarterback whose future is up in the air: Jimmy Garoppolo. The San Fransisco 49ers traded up (using a similar trade package as the one used by the Browns to acquire Watson) to acquire Trey Lance in the 2021 draft. With one season left on his contract and coming off surgery, Garoppolo’s future in the Bay area is in doubt.
Ben Volin of the Boston Globe suggested a simple swap of the two in-limbo quarterbacks:
Putting on my GM hat for a minute: Baker for Garoppolo straight up. Who says no?
Browns get one year of Watson insurance, Niners get a veteran backup for Lance, each team gets rid of a contract it doesn’t want
— Ben Volin (@BenVolin) June 6, 2022
For the Niners, acquiring a solid backup that can start while saving about $7 million to use toward a Deebo Samuel contract makes sense. Acquiring a quarterback who has hopes for starting but would be expected to begin as Lance’s backup could be concerning.
For the Browns, losing cap space to bring in a quarterback expected to be the backup doesn’t make a ton of sense unless the team believes Watson will be suspended for most or all of the 2022 season.
Mayfield for Garoppolo would end two of the biggest quarterback questions from this offseason while giving Cleveland more insurance but seems unlikely on both sides even if it is interesting. | https://brownswire.usatoday.com/2022/06/07/baker-mayfield-jimmy-garoppolo-rumor-trade-browns-niners/ | 2022-06-07T13:58:39Z | https://brownswire.usatoday.com/2022/06/07/baker-mayfield-jimmy-garoppolo-rumor-trade-browns-niners/ | false | 3 |
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited the UK last week to take part in the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, and a royal expert thinks they actually paid a herd of supporters to cheer them along.
Talking to GB News, author and socialite Lady Colin Campbell weighed in on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s presence at the Jubilee thanksgiving service at St Paul’s Cathedral on Friday, and their subsequent absence at the reception that followed.
As per Campbell: “They didn't bother to show up because they could not contain their rage.”
She continued: “When they arrived and they were booed, and they expected a possibility of boos, so they had their paid clack of supporters there to cheer them along, that was sort of alright-ish.”
“They didn't like that they were booed, but they walked into the cathedral and absolutely everyone cold-shouldered them, in a way that only civilised people can do when they are cold-shouldering people.”
Prince Harry and Meghan were pictured walking into the cathedral hand in hand, and were seated far away from the rest of the senior royal family members; they were seated next to Prince Andrew’s daughters, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, and their husbands.

It’s said that if you dream of train travel, it means you are moving in the right direction towards your goals and achievements. While there don’t seem to be dream interpretations specifically for those brought on by the gentle rocking of a train in motion, it’s safe to say that in that case, you’re probably already on the right track. Board the Seven Stars in Kyushu to imbue your dreams with dynamic landscapes and artisanal crafts through three new itineraries, starting this autumn.
On Board with Service
Guests can expect first-class service even before they set foot on the Seven Stars in Kyushu, which wraps luxurious accommodation, exquisite cuisine and immersive experiences into one convenient package. Passenger capacity has recently been reduced to further ensure guests enjoy exclusive and personalized service. Outside of the suites, guests can enjoy shared spaces crafted by acclaimed artisans in the on-board salon, tea room and shop. At The Blue Moon, a sumptuous bar lounge car with live piano performances and a broad selection of tipples, guests can while away the evening hours as they gaze out at the beautiful Kyushu landscape passing by.
Charismatic Kirishima
This extensive journey begins in Hita, famed for its pottery and woodwork, before moving south along the Hisatsu Orange Railway to southern Kyushu. An excursion option to the Satsuma-ware kiln Chin Jukan awaits for those wanting a firsthand exploration of one of Kyushu’s famed ceramics regions.
After spending the night in the peaceful Kirishima Onsen hot spring resort, guests are transported along the Kitto Line — a new route on the Seven Stars repertoire — offering unprecedented sights of the Kirishima mountain range. With nary a tunnel on this track, the seasonal rural landscapes of Kagoshima and Miyazaki spread out like a canvas beyond the window. The final day proffers a visit to the temple grounds of Fuko-ji, where Japan’s largest Magaibutsu (Buddha carved into a rockface) resides. In Taketa, guests can try their hand at bamboo crafts or explore the historic remains of Oka Castle.
Journey details: 4 days and 3 nights, with one night’s stay at a traditional inn.
Crossing Kyushu
Take in the changing scenery of Kyushu’s diverse natural environment with this journey that takes passengers from north to south, and back again. Day one gifts views of the azure Ariake Bay and Yatsushiro Sea as the train follows the coast down Kagoshima. Enjoy the sun setting over the horizon when the train makes a short stop at Ushinohama Station at dusk. Inside the carriages, too, visual experiences await as the intricate Okawa kumiko wooden latticework decorating the walls showcases the creative talent of Kyushu’s craftspeople.
After a relaxing overnight stay inside the train, the final day’s adventure starts in Nobeoka, home of the original chicken nanban dish. Also famed for its athletic residents, it’s a great place to go for a run before the train sets off. In Saiki City, stroll around the historic and literary streets and shop some local wares at the station-side market. Hop on for a relaxing final leg back to Hakata on the Kyudai Main Line, with verdant forests and glimpses of the imposing Mount Yufu.
Journey details: 2 days and 1 night.
Unrivaled Unzen
Explore the dynamic beauty of northern Kyushu on this adventure through historic health resorts and natural treasures. Day one begins with a walk around traditional hot spring town Yufuin unveils its charming cafés, museums and tranquil inns. Learn about Hosokawa-ryu Bonseki — a technique that uses natural stones and white stand on black lacquered trays to create miniature landscapes — on an excursion on day two. Originating in ancient stone worship, it is now a meditative and creative experience for artists and laymen alike. This tour includes a ferry trip from Kumamoto to Shimabara, which finishes with a night at Ryotei Hanzuiryo in Unzen, one of Japan’s premier hot spring resorts. Guests can soak in the famed soothing waters of the region and explore the inn’s expansive grounds.
The following day offers a choice of traveling along the Shimabara Railway, or a longer stay in Unzen’s enchanting onsen. The evening boasts a unique encounter with Kenban geisha and Nagasaki’s multicultural culinary craft before turning in for the night. The final day immerses guests in the world of the Kunisaki Peninsula’s agricultural heritage, which produces fascinating produce like log-grown shiitake mushrooms and artistic chrysanthemum charcoal. As the train approaches its final destination, views of the towering Mount Yufu on the Kyudai Main Line and deep forests float by, allowing for quiet reflection of the past days’ journey across northern Kyushu.
Journey details: 4 days and 3 nights, with one night’s stay at a traditional inn.

Owner of division two football team Rences FC, Francis Mensah Afotey, has encouraged the government and the Ghana Football Association to invest more in the local league to bring more revenue.
In a chat on SVTV Africa, Mr Afotey mentioned that sports could bring the country more revenue than agriculture if the government and the leaders give it the needed attention.
“We must make it attractive for people to want to play or associate with football. Let’s give it hope. We are appealing to the government to invest in it. We can be serious with sports just as we are serious with agriculture.
Sports could bring in more than what agriculture brings in because when we have the facilities teams will come here, and for pre-seasons, hotels will make money. Imagine the forex exchange.”
Rences FC has won against Ebony FC to qualify for the Middle League. At the final game, there were very few spectators at the Tema Sports Stadium. Moreover, there was no ambulance on site for the team players.
Mr Francis mentioned that it is not only the division two league that lacks material or equipment for the sports. According to him, the “powers that be must make the logistics available because it is the same with the other leagues as well.” | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/SportsArchive/Government-can-earn-more-from-Sports-than-Agriculture-Rences-FC-owner-1555205 | 2022-06-07T14:05:52Z | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/SportsArchive/Government-can-earn-more-from-Sports-than-Agriculture-Rences-FC-owner-1555205 | true | 2 |

Sonia Gandhi.
(Photo: Facebook/Rajiv Gandhi Foundation)
Congress Party chief Sonia Gandhi has sought more time to appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) as she is still recovering from COVID-19, multiple reports said on Tuesday, 7 June. She had been asked to appear before the central agency on 8 June in connection with a money laundering case.
Gandhi had tested positive for the infection on 2 June, and her latest test report was not negative, PTI reported party sources as saying.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has also been summoned in connection with the National Herald money laundering case on 13 June.
Earlier, Gandhi had said that she would appear before the ED on the designated date if she recovered from COVID-19.
The ED had said that it wanted to record the statements of Rahul and Sonia Gandhi under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The ED had filed a fresh case into the matter under the PMLA's criminal provisions after a court took notice of a probe conducted by the Income Tax Department against Young India Pvt Ltd, which owns National Herald, after BJP MP Subramanian Swamy filed a criminal complaint in connection with the matter.

Ports of Indiana-Jeffersonville completes new infrastructure projects
Written by Marine Log StaffThe Ports of Indiana-Jeffersonville has completed $24 million in infrastructure enhancement projects. The port received a $10 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant in 2015 initiating big changes in Jeffersonville. All projects were completed in 2022.
The new infrastructure improvements will increase maritime commerce through domestic barge service. Combined with the two new Ohio River interstate bridges and new heavy haul transportation corridor leading into the port, the region can further attract new cargoes and large-scale industrial projects that require multimodal transportation connections.
The grant provided partial funding for $24 million in infrastructure enhancements that has added four miles to the port’s existing 11-mile rail network.In addition to the $10 million TIGER grant, funding included $3 million from the private-sector and $11 million from the Ports of Indiana.
The projects have enhanced and overhauled the railroad infrastructure and intermodal capabilities throughout the entire port. The projects included:
- Waterfront intermodal facility that more than doubles the capacity of bulk commodities transferred from rail cars or trucks to barges.
- New conveyor belt that can run more than 2,000 tons in one hour or one rail car to barge in less than 3 minutes.
- Four miles of additional rail track to accommodate unit train delivery to and from the port, along with two new rail loops connected to the waterfront facility.
- Railyard can now accommodate 200 rail cars.
- Enhanced unit train handling; new capacity and improved velocity.
“The completion of the TIGER project is the result of the commitment that the Ports of Indiana has to best-in-class infrastructure and making our Indiana network bigger, better, faster,” said Vanta E. Coda II, Ports of Indiana chief executive officer. “This infrastructure will allow our current and future customers to grow for the next 50 years.” | https://www.marinelog.com/inland-coastal/inland/ports-of-indiana-jeffersonville-completes-new-infrastructure-projects/ | 2022-06-07T14:10:35Z | https://www.marinelog.com/inland-coastal/inland/ports-of-indiana-jeffersonville-completes-new-infrastructure-projects/ | false | 1 |
A 2-year-old boy fatally shot his father in an accident after finding a gun, and the boy's mother is now facing criminal charges, authorities in Florida said Monday.
Reggie Mabry, 26, was fatally shot late last month while he was playing a video game. The gun was fired by his 2-year-old son in the home Mabry, his wife Marie Ayala, and their three young children shared in metro Orlando, according to an Orange County Sheriff's Office report.
“The gun was not properly stored," Orange County Sheriff John Mina said at a news conference. “In fact, it was easily accessible, even to a 2-year-old, and the result is a tragedy that no one in this community can really comprehend."
Ayala, 28, was charged with manslaughter by culpable negligence, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of ammunition by a convicted felon and violation of probation, Mina said.
Both Ayala and Mabry had been on probation for child neglect and narcotics possession.
Ayala remained in jail on no bond Monday, according to an online jail record. Online court records showed she was being represented by the public defender's office but no further details were provided.
Ayala told detectives that her 5-year-old son told her that his 2-year-old brother had fired the gun, but the older brother couldn't explain how his younger brother had gotten hold of the weapon, the arrest report said.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The children weren't harmed and have been placed in the custody of the Florida Department of Children and Families.
The tragedy could have been prevented if the gun had been properly stored, the sheriff said.
“Now these young children have effectively lost both of their parents,” Mina said. “And a young child has to live his life knowing he shot his father." | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/national-international/mother-charged-after-florida-toddler-fatally-shoots-father-inside-home/2911366/ | 2022-06-07T14:10:53Z | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/national-international/mother-charged-after-florida-toddler-fatally-shoots-father-inside-home/2911366/ | false | 24 |
US sees heightened extremist threat heading into midterms
WASHINGTON (AP) — A looming Supreme Court decision on abortion, an increase of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border and the midterm elections are potential triggers for extremist violence over the next six months, the Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday.
The U.S. was in a “heightened threat environment” already, and these factors may worsen the situation, DHS said in the latest National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin.
“In the coming months, we expect the threat environment to become more dynamic as several high-profile events could be exploited to justify acts of violence against a range of possible targets,” DHS said.
It’s the latest attempt by Homeland Security to draw attention to the threat posed by domestic violent extremism, a shift from alerts about international terrorism that were a hallmark of the agency following its creation after the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Indeed, the threats from overseas rate only passing mentions in this bulletin. It notes that al-Qaida supporters celebrated the January standoff at a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas. And it mentions that the Islamic State group called on supporters to carry out attacks in the United States to avenge the killings of the group’s leader and spokesman.
DHS also warns that China, Russia, Iran and other nations seek to foment divisions within the U.S. to weaken the country and its standing in the world. In part, they do this by amplifying conspiracy theories and false reports that proliferate in American society.
Domestic violent extremists, however, present the most pressing and potentially violent threat, the agency said, citing, for example, the racist attack in which a white gunman killed 10 Black people at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket in May.
The bulletin, which is scheduled to expire Nov. 30, said calls for violence by domestic extremists directed at democratic institutions, candidates and election workers will likely increase through the fall.
A senior DHS official, speaking to reporters ahead of the release of the bulletin, said it describes the situation as “dynamic” because authorities are seeing a wider variety of people motivated by a broader range of grievances and incidents than in the past.
The upcoming decision from the Supreme Court, which could overturn Roe v. Wade, could lead to violence from either extremist supporters or opponents of abortion rights depending on the outcome, said the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss some factors that went into the preparation of the bulletin.
Racial extremists may be motivated by immigration enforcement or whether the government continues to rely on Title 42, the public health order that has been used since the start of the coronavirus pandemic to prevent people from seeking asylum at the southwest border, DHS said.
The agency and the FBI are working with state and local law enforcement to raise awareness of the threat, and DHS has increased grant funding to local governments and religious organizations to improve security, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas said in a statement released with the bulletin.

A bakery in Kyiv has named created and named a pastry in honour of Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The highlight of the delicacy is that it carries the signature hairdo of Mr Johnson.
"Boris Johnson is not just a prime minister but is also now a croissant," Zavertailo Cafe bakery announced in an Instagram post on May 6.
"This is dedicated to our British friends in tribute for their support in the war against Russia," an English translation of the Instagram post further revealed. It has received more than 2,200 likes.
The bakery explained that the pastry is inspired by the English apple pie and the charming haircut of the British Prime Minister.
The tasty snack is on sale for 3 euros and has caught the attention of many social media users.
"Now Boris Johnson just has to come to visit you for a croissant," one user commented.
"Boris is just simply obliged to come and try one of your croissants," said another user. They are also enjoying the pastry's uncanny resemblance to Mr Johnson's haircut.
The Telegraph sent one of its correspondents to the bakery, who reported that the popular pastry had already sold out.
The UK has helped Ukraine in war against Russia by supplying weapons for its soldiers. The Ukrainian armed forces have been posting videos on their social media channels describing the success they received after using these weapons.
Mr Johnson, meanwhile, secured a narrow win in a no-confidence vote on Monday over revelations that he and his staff held parties that broke the COVID-19 lockdown rules their government imposed across the UK.
The British Prime Minister held his first cabinet meeting on Tuesday, a day after the victory. Mr Johnson, 57, is rallying his Cabinet ministers, who largely backed him quite publicly and even called upon the angry backbench members of Parliament leading the rebellion to line up behind his leadership for the greater good of the country.
The Opposition Labour, however, was keen to keep up the attack on a bruised Prime Minister, with the party's Deputy Leader saying he's now on borrowed time. | https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/kyiv-bakery-names-pastry-after-british-pm-boris-johnson-it-resembles-his-unruly-hair-3046399 | 2022-06-07T14:11:49Z | https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/kyiv-bakery-names-pastry-after-british-pm-boris-johnson-it-resembles-his-unruly-hair-3046399 | true | 1 |

Premier luxury watch platform to enter new markets and expand services in key geographies for luxury collectibles
PHILADELPHIA, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WatchBox, the global leader in collectible luxury timepieces, today revealed renderings for its New York Collector's Lounge and presented the roadmap for its next phase of expansion. As WatchBox enters its fifth year, it continues to grow its international footprint, opening in Zurich and Riyadh in Q1 2022, and announcing its forthcoming presence in London and Shanghai within the next six months.
"WatchBox's expansion strategy targets regions with a strong growth forecast for the luxury watch segment," said Justin Reis, Global CEO and co-founder of WatchBox. "We're excited to expand our physical footprint in the United Kingdom and China, two of the top five global watch markets, where we will introduce our curated inventory and client advisory model. Both London and Shanghai have strong local watch cultures, and as leading destinations for international business, we aspire to be the home away from home for watch collectors around the world."
Since its 2017 founding, WatchBox has developed a presence in the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland, and the Middle East, where a joint venture with Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons has established the company in Dubai and Riyadh. The next phase of growth will bring the Collector's Lounge concept to key U.S. markets.
Conceptualized with acclaimed design firm Studio Mellone, WatchBox is cultivating a distinctive experience through Andre Mellone's vision. The Brazilian designer has earned a reputation for creating spaces that are contemporary, chic, and inviting; and noted projects include designs for Thom Browne, Carolina Herrera, Jason Wu, and 25 Park Row's spa-like amenities floor. Mellone's concept for WatchBox will come to life in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and Boca Raton. The New York Collector's Lounge will be a flagship for the company, scheduled to open in Q3 2022.
"Old concepts of retail, residential, and hospitality are all merging into one. Stores look like homes; homes look like hotels…it's all about warmth and excitement and appreciation for design," shared Andre Mellone. "Spaces should be impactful and exciting, but feel comfortable, and have a staying power." On his inspiration for the WatchBox spaces, Mellone added, "I've always been a fan of the design aspects of early James Bond films. There's a cool, un-self-conscious, playful sexiness to them that I felt would perfectly match the concept for WatchBox."
Mellone's signature style will encompass a 5,000 square foot space on the fourth floor of the landmark Fuller Building at 57th Street and Madison Avenue in Midtown, Manhattan. The lounge will merge event space with private showrooms, a boardroom, video and digital media studios, and a hands-on "watch lab," where visitors can examine, learn, and work with WatchBox's dedicated advisory team as they explore the company's curated watch collections. A vibrant agenda of events and programming will accompany the opening later this year.
"As we amplify the WatchBox experience globally, a community-driven philosophy guides the way," Reis shared. "Our clients and client advisors are drawn together by a common passion for collecting and fascination with horology. With Andre's influence, we sought to design immersive environments, combining retail with entertainment, personalized service, and social connection; and of course, watches will be a centerpiece of this experience."
Locations in Miami's Design District, The Boca Raton resort, and an expansive lounge, showroom, and event space in West Hollywood will open later this year.

(NewsNation) — A man accused of faking his own death to avoid a rape charge is facing extradition this week and reportedly making claims about the prosecutor trying to bring him back to the United States from Scotland.
Nicholas Alahverdian has a lengthy rap sheet. The man identified by authorities as Alahverdian, who claims he is a different man, was arrested in December for a 2008 sexual assault allegation in Orem, Utah. According to prosecutors, he invited a woman to whom he owed money to his home, saying he would pay her back but instead brutally raped her.
The registered sex offender is under investigation in four states for sexual assault and kidnapping. He also faces charges for fraudulently obtaining credit cards in his foster father’s name, amassing $200,000 in debt.
Many people in Rhode Island, including reporters, local politicians and members of his own family, believed Alahverdian died in February 2020 from cancer. Someone claiming to be his wife confirmed the reported death and had an obituary published for him. His life was even eulogized at the Rhode Island State House, where he was praised for his work on behalf of children. But it turns out, authorities say, he was alive.
Law enforcement officers say they tracked Alahverdian down in December. They say he was in a Scottish hospital on a ventilator being treated for COVID-19. Scottish investigators and staff at the Glasgow hospital reportedly worked with the Utah County Attorney’s Office to identify Alahverdian based on tattoos and DNA evidence.
While it may seem like the case was nearly closed, they soon learned it was just the beginning.
The man identified by authorities as Alahverdian claims his name is actually Arthur Knight and that the entire ordeal is a big misunderstanding. The man saying he is Knight insists he has never even been to the United States and a woman claiming to be his wife backs up his story.
Still, the man claiming to be Knight has not been able to produce a birth certificate to authorities. His attorney says there is no DNA to support the prosecution’s claims.
Now, Knight is turning the attention to Utah County Prosecutor David Leavitt, reportedly saying the prosecutor has ties to cannibalism and a sex trafficking ring.
According to the Salt Lake Tribune, the sheriff’s office announced it is investigating a “ritualistic child sexual abuse and child sex trafficking” case that happened in Utah, Juab and Sanpete counties between 1990 and 2010. They asked potential victims to come forward, but did not share many other details.
Leavitt released an investigative report to the Tribune that consisted of decades-old accusations involving 15 people, including Leavitt and his wife.
While appearing Monday on NewsNation’s “Dan Abrams Live,” Leavitt denied allegations that he was a cannibal or murderer. He said he was running for a position on a checks and balances campaign that angered the local sheriff in Utah County.
“We received a tip that the sheriff, in fact, was working with Alahverdian to accuse me of cannibalizing and murdering children in a ritualistic abuse ring,” Leavitt said.
“Quite frankly, Dan, that was all I was going to stand. So I stood and said we need to have the sheriff open his office for an open independent investigation. If the sheriff is truly using the power of his office to try and take out an elected prosecutor, who is his check, then the sheriff needs to resign.”
NewsNation reached out to the sheriff for details and did not receive a response.
Even as Knight fights back, maintains his innocence, and insists police have the wrong guy, Leavitt says they are not backing down from the case. He is confident they have the right guy and in the international collaboration of the investigation.
“You don’t simply extradite someone from a foreign country unless lots of agencies have looked into it and used their limited resources to get someone back. Every governmental agency is short on resources, so when you decide you’re going to go after someone, you have to really be certain that that’s who it is.
“In this case, we had to make ourselves certain, the state bureau of investigation, the state of Utah had to do the same, the United States Department of Justice and the Scottish authorities, so you have four governmental agencies from two countries who have all satisfied themselves that this is the guy,” Leavitt said.
Knight’s extradition hearing is slated for Thursday. It will be up to a Scottish judge whether or not he is extradited to the U.S. | https://www.wavy.com/news/national/man-accused-of-faking-own-death-faces-extradition-hearing/ | 2022-06-07T14:15:07Z | https://www.wavy.com/news/national/man-accused-of-faking-own-death-faces-extradition-hearing/ | true | 22 |
Nine ways to get the best bum ever – without a Brazilian butt lift
NOT all of us are blessed with the curves of Kim K or Beyoncé, but the good news is you can still achieve the butt of your dreams, without resorting to the surgeon’s knife.
The glutes are three sets of muscles that make up your bottom.
They include the gluteus maximus – the largest and one of the most powerful muscles in your body.
Boosting your glutes will not just give you a curvy derrière – it’ll have health benefits, too.
Vanessa Gebhardt, a training specialist at Freeletics, explains: “The glutes affect your ability to sit, stand, climb stairs, walk up and down hills, and pick up heavy objects safely off the floor.”
They also support posture and help you avoid knee and ankle problems, and joint issues, such as tightness, stiffness, limited movement and pain.
“Building and maintaining strong glutes will have a positive impact on athletics performance, while also reducing the risk of injury,” adds Vanessa.
Here are nine ways to get your best bum ever (no Brazilian butt lift required!).
1. Brush That Booty
The lymphatic system is a huge network of tubes and vessels that help us get rid of waste and toxins from the body, but it doesn’t always work smoothly – which is where body brushing comes in.
Though it won’t get rid of fat (if only it were that simple!), body brushing can help flush bacteria and toxins out of the lymphatic system, which can lessen cellulite and improve the tone of your bottom.
Most read in Fabulous
Kate Shapland, founder of leg care brand Legology, says you need a good body brush (try Botanics Exfoliating Body Brush, £6.50) to use before, during or after a shower.
“Body brushing should be done in quick flicks all over the body – always in an upwards movement towards the heart and the lymph nodes. It should be swift and light,” says Kate.
“The bristles do the work – gentle sweeps pushing the lymph along without much effort.” It should never be uncomfortable or painful, so if it is, go lighter or try using a different brush.
2. Get Squatting!
The squat is a classic bum-builder, but they are great for developing power, too.
“Squat jumps encourage you to focus on generating stability and force, both of which require muscular strength,” says Vanessa.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Push your hips back and drop down into a squat by bending the knees, before pushing up through your feet and jumping as high as possible off the floor.
Aim to keep your eyes fixed on a point directly in front of you to ensure your back stays upright, and try to land in the same spot you took off from, then repeat.
“You want to develop power, so really explode up from the floor with as much strength and speed as you can, and remember, plyometrics (jumping movements) should be seen and not heard, so keep your landing soft,” adds Vanessa.
“Focus on driving upwards with as much power as possible in each repetition to really get your muscles burning and heart pounding.”
3. Combine cardio and strength
If you want to build your bum’s muscle tone, then you must incorporate strength training into your exercise routine.
Purely a cardio bunny? It’s time to step back from the treadmill.
“Too much cardio could hold you back from gaining curves, but to ensure a full-body training regime, it should be included alongside resistance training,” says Vanessa.
“For maximum benefit, do cardio and strength training on different days, but if you’re combining them in the same workout, do your strength training first.”
This is so your muscles aren’t fatigued. You want all the power to go into the strength section of your workout for the best results in terms of muscle growth.
4. Lunge Around
“One of the most effective exercises is lunges,” says Vanessa.
“If you’re new to fitness, start with a stationary lunge or lunge walk. If you’re a more seasoned athlete, go with jump lunges. Try to jump as high as possible to really maximise the movement.”
To perform a basic lunge, stand tall, then take a large forward step with your left leg.
Bend at both knees and drop down, ensuring the front knee doesn’t go in front of the left ankle. Your back knee should be hovering just above the ground.
Pause at the bottom, then push up through the front heel to rise.
That’s one rep. Try 10 reps on each leg. Next, add a dumb-bell in each hand for the resistance you need to really feel the burn in your butt!
“The glutes are a big muscle group and they can take a lot – likely more than you think you can handle,” says Vanessa.
“Make sure you’re pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. If you’re using more resistance, don’t be alarmed if you can complete fewer reps – in the long term, this approach will help you to see a difference.”
5. Switch up your diet
We’re never one to turn down a potato, but it turns out they could help give you an amazing butt, too.
David Wiener, training and nutrition specialist at Freeletics, says: “You need to focus on building lean muscle, which requires two things: energy and recovery.
"Eating sweet potato will help. It’s a complex carbohydrate with a high glycemic index and produces sustainable energy so you can lift heavy weights and build a booty.
"Other brilliant foods for energy include oats, brown rice and bananas.
“To build lean muscle, protein is key, with some of the best foods including white meat, lean steak, seeds, pulses and high-quality protein shakes.”
For best results, combine these foods with lower-body resistance workouts, such as lunges.
6. Dress to impress
Choosing the right trousers or leggings can help create the appearance of a rounder booty.
Nataly Komova, registered dietician and fitness expert for JustCBD (justcbdstore.uk), says to opt for bottom halves where the waistline is level with your belly, and adds:
“For an even easier boost, wearing heels when you’re out can also lift the butt and make your bum appear rounder as the leg muscles are tightened up.”
7. Feed your muscles
Nataly says including fatty fish, such as salmon, sardines and mackerel, plus low-fat fish like tilapia, in your diet can speed up results.
“They are high in protein and vitamins that promote the development of muscles and tissues,” she says.
“Salmon also contains healthy omega-3 fats that hasten muscle recovery after intense exercise and increase muscle volume.”
8. Step To It!
One of the easiest things you can do to work your glutes and make them stronger and perkier is to take the stairs.
Online trainer Diren Kartal says we should get climbing those escalators, too: “Think of it as a free workout. Your behind will thank you for it!”
He adds: “If you work in an office with steps, or at home and you have stairs, add in some step-ups to your day-to-day routine.
"Choose steps or stairs that are high enough so your knee is at a 90° angle when it’s bent. Place your right foot on the step, press into your heel, step up and touch your left toes to the step.
"Do as many reps as you can, then swap sides.”
9. Walk This Way
Diren also recommends a brisk power walk to get the glutes fired-up.

Wigan Warriors have confirmed they have signed England prop Mike Cooper from rivals Warrington Wolves for the 2023 season.
Cooper, 33, joins the Challenge Cup winners on an initial 12-month deal with a further 12-month option. His Wolves contract is up at the end of the season and the switch to their Super League neighbours brings an end to a 14-year career with his hometown club over two spells. In between, Cooper played 69 NRL games with St George Illawarra Dragons from 2014 to 2016.
He has eight England caps and said: “To be offered the opportunity to join Wigan is a huge honour for me. Once I’d spoke to Matty [Peet] I knew straight away this was the right move. I have plenty left in the tank and I will join this great club with a huge drive to be successful and win trophies.
“First of all, I want to earn the respect of all players, staff and supporters and I’ll do everything I can to add to the fantastic culture that runs throughout the club.”
Wigan head coach Peet said: “Mike is a player we have always admired, and we will be pleased to welcome him next season. He will strengthen our options through the middle of the field and brings with him a wealth of experience.”

The $8.2 million Brand Home expansion adds 13,000 square feet and doubles annual guest capacity at ANGEL'S ENVY's distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.
From June 14, National Bourbon Day, through June 20, fans can visit the ANGEL'S ENVY Meta Distillery virtual pop-up for a gamified bourbon-making experience, interactive cocktail quest, POAP token, NFT wearable giveaways and more
LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ANGEL'S ENVY®, the Kentucky-based craft distiller that produces finished whiskeys, today unveiled its completed $8.2 million Brand Home expansion at 500 E. Main St. in Louisville, Kentucky, U.S. The expansion, which adds 13,000 square feet to the facility, will allow ANGEL'S ENVY to welcome an additional 64,000 visitors each year, doubling annual guest capacity. To celebrate, ANGEL'S ENVY, the super-premium whiskey owned by Bacardi Limited, is inviting fans to plan an in-person visit or experience the Brand Home virtually via the ANGEL'S ENVY Meta Distillery, the first-ever distillery experience in Decentraland. The ANGEL'S ENVY Meta Distillery – which includes a gamified and educational distillery production tour and bourbon-making experience, interactive cocktail challenge, Proof of Attendance Protocol (POAP) token, non-fungible token (NFT) wearable giveaways and more – will launch in Decentraland on June 14, National Bourbon Day, and remain open through June 20.
"ANGEL'S ENVY has seen significant growth over the past several years, and that will only be amplified with our Brand Home expansion as we can now better meet the incredible demand from visitors who want to tour our facilities and experience our distillery. We're proud to be part of such a strong community in Louisville and will continue to invest in our hometown," said Gigi DaDan, ANGEL'S ENVY General Manager. "We're thrilled to launch the ANGEL'S ENVY Meta Distillery on National Bourbon Day and look forward to engaging and celebrating bourbon with new audiences from all over the world through the virtual experience."
The expansion to the ANGEL'S ENVY Brand Home will create approximately 20 new jobs in Louisville and includes new spaces and experiences for guests, such as: a larger retail area, five new tasting rooms, an additional bar space, an event space and full catering kitchen and a designated room for ANGEL'S ENVY's "Bottle Your Own" experience, which will now offer guests the chance to fill their own bottles of a distillery-exclusive Single Barrel offering. ANGEL'S ENVY worked with Joseph & Joseph, Contagious and Sullivan & Cozart on the design and build for the expansion; construction began in late 2020. Visitors can now learn more about distillery experiences, book tours and inquire about private events at angelsenvy.com/distillery.
With the launch of the ANGEL'S ENVY Meta Distillery, the super-premium bourbon brand becomes the first in the Bacardi portfolio of brands to create a Brand Home in the metaverse. Users (age 21+) are taken on a series of gamified experiences such as a mash bill challenge, cask personalization in the barreling room and an ingredient quest to create cocktails. In addition, users have the opportunity to plant virtual white oak trees around the distillery, correlating to trees planted in real life through ANGEL'S ENVY's "Toast the Trees" initiative – a program created in 2014 to raise awareness about the importance of a healthy white oak tree population to preserve the future of bourbon. ANGEL'S ENVY partnered with Terrazero Technologies Inc., a metaverse products and services technology firm and experience development studio, to create the ANGEL'S ENVY Meta Distillery.
"We are excited to welcome the first distillery in Decentraland with the ANGEL'S ENVY Meta Distillery," said Adam de Cata, Head of Partnerships for Decentraland Foundation. "As we have seen over the past several months, people want to engage in the metaverse with activities and goods that they can relate to from this reality. The ANGEL'S ENVY Meta Distillery creates a new way for people to engage and celebrate in the metaverse."
Throughout the experience, which is easily accessible for first-time or established users of Decentraland, users will earn virtual badges, a POAP token and free customized NFT wearables. Users within the U.S. will be able to purchase physical items from the ANGEL'S ENVY web shop and a metaverse cocktail delivered to their door via Cocktail Courier. They can also enter to win an ANGEL'S ENVY mixology kit. More information about how to access and engage with the experience can be found here.

Russia's Aeroflot to raise up to $3 billion via new share issue
During the pandemic, the government bought Aeroflot shares worth 80 billion roubles using the NWF.
Russian state flagship Aeroflot airline, struggling from western sanctions which blocked it from most of the flights abroad, plans to raise up to 185.2 billion roubles ($3 billion) from new share issue, it said on Tuesday. Aeroflot, controlled by the Russian state which promised to inject capital to cope with the sanctions, said that its annual shareholders meeting approved issuance of 5.42 billion of new shares which could be bought at a price of 34.29 roubles each under an open subscription.
For Aeroflot, which only started to recover from the two-year-long coronavirus pandemic, sanctions also meant inability to receive airplane parts and conduct maintenance, with the government promising to inject 107 billion roubles ($1.83 billion) in support. The injection was to come from the National Wealth Fund (NWF), Russia's rainy-day fund initially tasked with supporting large-scale infrastructure projects on a refundable basis and to cover for the budget deficit.
In its statement on Tuesday, Aeroflot did not provide details how much of the new share issue the state may buy. Neither Aeroflot, nor the finance ministry replied to a Reuters request for a comment. During the pandemic, the government bought Aeroflot shares worth 80 billion roubles using the NWF. ($1 = 60.9600 roubles) ($1 = 58.5000 roubles)

SAN FRANCISCO - In California, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is seeking a second four-year term, less than a year after he decisively defeated an effort to recall him from office.
Last September, 62% of California voters voted "No" on the recall, essentially identical to the 62% who voted for Newsom over Republican challenger John Cox in the 2018 gubernatorial election.
Like elected officials at all levels in the state, Newsom is facing headwinds from the pandemic, gas prices and inflation, in addition to voter concerns about quality of life issues including homelessness and public safety. But Newsom's campaign ads remained mostly positive, like one touting his "Courage Through Crisis" where he focused on California's resilience, with a promise to reflect the state's values, like diversity protecting the environment and following science.
Under California's "top two" primary, the top two finishers in Tuesday's election will face off in November, no matter their political party. Pre-election polls showed Newsom easily overcoming any lingering unhappiness with his handling of the pandemic and other problems, notably the Employment Development Department's epic mishandling of the federally-funded Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program, where EDD paid some $20 billion in fraudulent unemployment claims and gummed up payments to those in need while investigations took place.
Newsom's challengers
His main challengers are Republican state Sen. Brian Dahle, who represents a sprawling state senate district that includes all, or part, of 11 mostly rural counties. He won the endorsement of the state Republican Party and is in sync with many of its positions — including opposition to abortion, saying climate change is not the primary cause of California's wildfires and blaming voter-approved ballot measures for the recent uptick in property crime. His positions and campaign slogan, "Restoring California," may appeal to the 24% of voters registered as Republican, but he is unlikely to approach the percentage needed to win in November.
Also running is activist Michael Shellenberger, a former Democrat who has been extremely critical of what he sees as liberal policy solutions on issues like homelessness and mental illness that don't work.
As the incumbent in a solidly Democratic state, Newsom has also benefited from an overwhelming financial advantage over his rivals. Through May, the Newsom for Governor campaign had $23 million cash on hand, most of it raised last year when Newsom faced a recall. By comparison, Sen. Dahle had just $392,485 in the bank at the end of May, while Shellenberger had a total of $320,114.

GENEVA (AP) — Investigators commissioned by the U.N.’s top human rights body say tensions between Palestinians and Israelis are underpinned by Israel's “perpetual occupation” of Palestinian areas with no apparent intention of ending it.
The findings came Tuesday in the first report by a Commission of Inquiry, headed by a three-person team of human rights experts. It was set up last year by the U.N.-backed Human Rights Council following an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. The U.N. human rights office says the war killed at least 261 people – including 67 children – in Gaza, and 14 people, including two children, in Israel.
The commission, headed by former U.N. human rights chief Navi Pillay, is the first to have an “ongoing” mandate from the U.N. rights body. Critics allege that permanent scrutiny testifies to an anti-Israel bias in the 47-member-state council and other U.N. bodies. Proponents say the commission is needed to keep tabs on persistent injustices faced by Palestinians under decades of Israeli rule.
The report largely recaps efforts by U.N. investigators over the years to grapple with the causes of Mideast violence and the authors acknowledged it was in part a “review” of previous U.N. findings.
“What has become a situation of perpetual occupation was cited by Palestinian and Israeli stakeholders to the commission as the one common issue” that amounts to the “underlying root cause” of recurrent tensions, instability and protracted conflict, the authors wrote. They said “impunity” for perpetrators of violence was feeding resentment among Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem.
Israel’s government, which opposed the creation of the commission, refused to grant its members access to Israel or Palestinian territories, and testimonies from Palestinians and Israelis were collected from Geneva and Jordan.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry rejected the report as “part and parcel of the witch hunt carried out by the Human Rights Council against Israel.”
It called the report biased and one-sided and accused the commission members of ignoring Palestinian violence, incitement and antisemitism. “The Commission members, who claim to be objective, were only appointed to their roles because of their public and well-known anti-Israel stances, in direct opposition to the rules set out by the United Nations,” it said.
The report's authors cited “credible” evidence that “convincingly indicates that Israel has no intention of ending the occupation” and has plans to ensure complete control of Palestinian areas. Israel’s government, it added, has been “acting to alter the demography through the maintenance of a repressive environment for Palestinians and a favorable environment for Israeli settlers.”
They also voiced criticism of Palestinian leaders, saying the Palestinian Authority, which administers autonomous areas in parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, frequently refers to the occupation as a justification for its own human rights violations. It also points to the occupation as the core reason for failure to hold legislative and presidential elections, the authors said. The PA is widely criticized for corruption and intolerance for dissent.
As for Hamas authorities in Gaza, the commission said they show little commitment toward upholding human rights and little adherence to international law. Since seizing control of Gaza in 2007, Hamas has shown little tolerance for political dissent and been accused of torturing opponents.
Israel captured the West Bank and east Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Gaza Strip from Egypt in the 1967 Mideast war.
It has annexed east Jerusalem and claims the area — home to the city’s most important holy sites — as part of its capital. It considers the West Bank to be “disputed” territory and has built scores of Jewish settlements there. Over 700,000 Israeli settlers now live in the two areas.
The internationally recognized Palestinian Authority seeks the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza for an independent state. The international community overwhelmingly considers all three areas to be occupied by Israel.
Rights groups have accused both Israel and Hamas of committing war crimes during last year's fighting. Israel vehemently denies the allegations, accusing Hamas of endangering civilians by using residential areas for cover during military operations.

After missing all of last fall due to injury, Anthony Sweeney is excited to return to the field as a redshirt junior defensive back for Northern Arizona University.
Sweeney, who is from American Canyon, suffered a season-ending injury while lifting during fall camp last year, Northern Arizona University Athletics reported in a story at nauathletics.com on May 23.
“Excited is an understatement,” Sweeney said in a report at nauathletics.com. “Being back out there with my team, wearing my helmet again, it’s the little things.”
Sweeney is a former De La Salle High School-Concord star. He started five games for Northern Arizona during the spring 2021 season and was named All-Big Sky Conference second team at defensive back after recording 24 tackles, with an interception and two pass breakups.
He has been working and preparing very hard to continue his career for the Lumberjacks.
“I told myself that I had like two days to sulk and complain about it, and then after that it’s back to work,” said Sweeney. “It was tough, but I had to turn all of my focus on to what it takes to get back in the best shape possible.”

Sweeney has received support from those around him, including family, teammates, and coaches, he said in the report.
“The positive thoughts and all of the great energy that was around me kind of forced me to keep my head up,” he said.
“I had to understand that my role as a leader didn’t go away, it just changed. I needed to learn how to constantly support my teammates and be there in different ways.”
Sweeney was a two-year captain at De La Salle and played on three state championship teams with the Spartans at quarterback. He helped lead the Spartans to a 28-21 win over Centennial-Corona in the CIF Open Division state bowl game in Sacramento in 2015, throwing a touchdown pass and scoring on a run.
After a redshirt season in 2017, he saw his first playing time, registering 35 tackles during the 2018 season for Northern Arizona.
He led NAU with 83 tackles during the 2019 season.
He graduated with a degree in sociology with minors in psychology and ethnic studies in the spring of 2020, and is in a master’s program for applied sociology with an emphasis on culture and community, according to nauathletics.com.
Sweeney is a three-time Big Sky All-Academic honoree and a five-time Golden Eagle Scholar-Athlete Award recipient.
In the report about Sweeney, Northern Arizona’s Morgan Vest, a redshirt senior defensive back who is from Leander, Texas, said:
“Having him around not only makes me better, but he makes this team better. The guys just gravitate towards him, they trust him, they listen to him, and they respect him.
“Having that type of leader back out on the field is going to pay dividends.”
Vest, named second-team All-Big Sky in 2021 and unanimous first team 2021 Spring All-Big Sky, added:
“He’s the type of player that guys can count on day in and day out, and on every play for every single game.”
