MULTAN, Pakistan (AP) — Intensive heat will test the fitness of players when Pakistan host the West Indies in the three-match limited-overs international series starting Wednesday.
The temperature is expected to top 45 degrees Celsius (113 F) this week in Multan, and organizers have pushed back the starting time for games to 4:00 pm local time to offer some respite.
Players will be given ice collars and vests during stoppages in play, and extra water breaks to keep them hydrated.
“We’ll try to make the guys understand what they have to do personally to hydrate themselves properly both before, during and after the games,” West Indies coach Phil Simmons said Tuesday.
“The heat is going to be extreme, (but) Pakistan are playing in the heat, too, so it’s going to be an even contest when we start the day. How we deal with it before, during and after is going to help us a lot.”
The Pakistan Cricket Board relocated the series to Multan from Rawalpindi last week because of the uncertain political situation in the country. The opposition, led by former Prime Minister Imran Khan, is planning rallies in the federal capital Islamabad, which is adjacent to Rawalpindi.
West Indies are coming off a 3-0 series win over Netherlands last week at Amstelveen, where their top order scored prolifically. Shamarh Brooks, Shai Hope and Kyle Mayers scored centuries while Brandon King made 91 not out in the second game.
The spinners — Akeal Hosein and Hayden Walsh Jr — took the bulk of the wickets, combining for 12.
West Indies will be strengthened by the return of Rovman Powell and Romario Shepherd, who both missed the series against the Netherlands because of visa issues. Both players were to join the team in Multan late Tuesday.
“That series was good in a way because it gave guys a chance to settle in as a team,” Simmons said. “It’s a young team. It’s a case where we needed to play properly. We needed to keep improving and we did that during the series, so it was a good preparation.”
The ODI series in Pakistan was postponed last year after a COVID-19 outbreak in the West Indies squad during the preceding Twenty20 series.
Pakistan have spent a week in Lahore, where the weather is similar to Multan. Captain Babar Azam hoped the players were well prepared.
“Definitely, it is hot, but we are having a conditioning camp and acclimatising to the weather,” Babar said. “As a professional, you have to handle these situations. We do go out to other countries to play, and even during our time in the UAE, we used to face similar temperatures. I think it won’t be a problem.”
Pakistan have a strong top order with the likes of left-handers Imam-ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman opening the innings. Babar, in the middle order, is in the form of his life and has scored prolifically in all the three formats of the game.
Vice-captain Shadab Khan and allrounder Mohammad Nawaz are returning to the ODI team from injuries. Pakistan also has a formidable fast bowling attack with Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf and Hasan Ali all performing well in the English county championship.
“We already have openers who are doing well and they are the priority, and you always make your best ones your priority,” Babar said. “These games are crucial for us, and to build a team you have to give players consistent chances.”
Squads:
Pakistan: Babar Azam (captain), Shadab Khan, Abdullah Shafique, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imam-ul-Haq, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Haris, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Wasim, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Shahnawaz Dahani, Zahid Mahmood.
West Indies: Nicholas Pooran (captain), Shai Hope, Nkrumah Bonner, Shamarh Brooks, Keacy Carty, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Shermon Lewis, Kyle Mayers, Anderson Phillip, Rovman Powell, Jayden Seales, Romario Shepherd, Hayden Walsh Jr. | https://jamaicainquirer.com/intense-heat-will-test-pakistan-west-indies-in-odi-series-loop-jamaica/ | 2022-06-07T14:39:47Z | https://jamaicainquirer.com/intense-heat-will-test-pakistan-west-indies-in-odi-series-loop-jamaica/ | true | 5 |
The organizations will leverage their expertise in ocean plastics recycling and certification to encourage more responsible sourcing and focus on helping grow the ethically sourced ocean-bound plastics market.
NORTHBROOK, Ill., June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- UL, a global safety science leader, today announced its collaboration with OceanCycle, a leading social enterprise focusing on reducing ocean plastic pollution, on new elevated standards and ethical sourcing criteria for ocean-bound plastics. These strengthened industry standards include critical new social standards, ethical sourcing criteria, third-party, independent validation of all recycled ocean-bound plastics, clear definitions of ocean-bound materials and standards on where coastal collection should happen.
"At UL, we are committed to the highest standards of ethics and believe our collaboration with OceanCycle will help bring greater clarity around what should be ocean and ocean-bound plastics. It's our intent that this clarity around ocean and ocean-bound plastics will lead to more trust for brands and consumers and focus the world's attention on regions most at risk for ocean plastic pollution," said Dr. Bill Hoffman, senior scientist at UL. "We are excited that our collaboration helps to ensure clear standards are accepted by industry at large."
These new elevated standards and ethical sourcing criteria come after two years of close collaboration between UL and OceanCycle to build on each company's initial standards for ocean-bound materials to help counter greenwashing in the industry.
UL and OceanCycle will continue collaborating to drive dialogue on standards and encourage the industry to agree on common definitions and processes — similar to what the Association of Plastic Recyclers achieved for post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics. The companies will leverage their expertise in ocean plastics recycling and certification to encourage more responsible sourcing, focus efforts and resources on countries and coastal regions most at-risk for ocean plastic pollution, and grow the ethically sourced ocean-bound plastics market. While it will take time to establish these new standards, they can immediately serve as a guidepost for brands and companies looking to integrate ethically sourced, ocean-bound plastics into their supply chains and products.
Standards for recycled ocean-bound plastics promote real transparency, traceability and accountability for real change. UL and OceanCycle's collaboration has resulted in an alignment of standards, providing a 100% independent, third-party certification of ocean-bound plastics' recycling supply chains to help ensure that standards meet international quality, ethical, environmental and labor requirements. Purchasers of OceanCycle Certified™ (OCC) materials have end-to-end traceability, from bottle collection through manufacturing.
Purchasers and consumers will know that OCC materials meet the following criteria:
- Coastal collection standards: To maximize the impact on the ocean-bound plastic issue, these new standards clarify collection efforts should focus on areas within 30 miles of a coast or along river banks within 200 miles of the mouth of the water. Additionally, collection efforts should focus on areas that lack an established municipal waste management system.
- Ethically sourced: Must be collected in an ethical manner ensuring no harmful child labor and fair wages to collectors. Every factory, aggregation site and collection center subscribe to a zero-tolerance policy regarding child labor, with a penalty of immediate exclusion from the program for any breach. Landfill collection is excluded due to its inherent risk to collectors and propensity for harmful labor practices.
- Clear standards for acceptable materials: Ensure collection efforts focus on the highest impact areas. Acceptable materials for collection must be post-consumer, and all post-industrial and imported waste must be excluded from certification.
- Documentation: Compliance with OCC end-to-end traceability, documented from bottle collection to final production-ready materials and manufacturing.
OceanCycle also partners with local recyclers to elevate the well-being and livelihoods of the people collecting material in communities. The social audits and surveys help baseline income levels and community needs and give insights to the recyclers, material brokers and brand partners on meeting those needs. In many cases, the people collecting the material are the most vulnerable. However, with proper support, they can collect more material in a better manner that both improves incomes and increases recycling rates.
As recycling rates and quality improve, it helps recyclers deliver large volumes of OCC material to manufacturers for use in new products. The manufacturers' positive experiences in sourcing OCC plastics drive consistent demand that keeps recycling programs operating.
Looking ahead, OceanCycle will work with UL and other industry leaders to help ensure recognition of and adherence to these new standards. The group will collaborate to improve market access to products made from ocean-bound plastics, assisting companies in using more sustainable, responsibly-sourced, recycled materials in their products.
"When we created the first certification for ocean-bound plastics, we leveraged our years of experience building grassroots supply chains in Haiti and developing global programs focused on child protection. As we worked with many of the companies pioneering the use of ocean-bound plastics, we wanted to make sure we had the best procedures and standards in place, which is why we approached UL to collaborate. Learning from the incredible team at UL and sharing our field experiences allowed us to develop better standards that we believe will guide the industry for years to come," said Robert Goodwin, co-founder of OceanCycle."
About Ocean-Bound Plastics
OceanCycle and UL define ocean-bound plastics as post-consumer plastic waste that has not yet reached the ocean but is at risk of entering waterways due to a lack of formal waste management and proximity to oceans. According to the Ocean Conservancy and the Pew Research Center, more than 11 million metric tons of plastics enter oceans each year, and that rate is estimated to triple by 2040. UL and OceanCycle's primary focus is on prevention because more than 80-90 percent of ocean plastic originates on land, and it's difficult to recycle material once it has entered the water. By harvesting ocean-bound plastic waste and recycling it before it enters waterways, companies and municipalities can increase incomes for at-risk communities, reduce ocean plastic pollution and help create a sustainable new revenue stream for local economies.
About OceanCycle
OceanCycle is a social enterprise focused on preventing ocean plastic pollution and improving livelihoods in coastal communities through certification and direct social interventions. OceanCycle created its first certification for ocean-bound plastics in 2018 and works with a network of partners to create sustainable and profitable recycling practices. Their focus is on putting an end to new plastics in the oceans by 2030 and providing transparency and traceability for ocean-bound plastics.

5 Things to Consider Before Buying NFTs
Wondering how to find a good NFT project to invest in? Look for these five important factors before making a purchase.
The non-fungible token sector of the cryptocurrency market was one of the hottest trends in the bull market of 2021 and continues to attract an increasing amount of attention in 2022, despite the bearish environment in the first half of the year.
NFT marketplaces like OpenSea continue to see millions of dollars worth of volumes transacted each day highlighting the fact that there is no shortage of demand for NFTs, even in bear market conditions.
Projects like CryptoPunks and BAYC have risen in prominence to become the blue chips of the NFT ecosystem, but with thousands of other collections available to purchase, it can be a challenge for even the most experienced gem hunter to spot the long term winners.
Here are five things to consider when researching an NFT project:
1. Take a look at the people behind the project
Many consider the people behind a project to be the most important thing to consider when purchasing an NFT because it's often the case that past performance is an indicator of future performance.
Looking at things like what projects they have worked on in the past, the level of success each of those projects had, and experience in the NFT industry can provide valuable insight into the long-term viability of the project.
A scroll through team members' Twitter pages and LinkedIn profiles can also provide more insight into the level of dedication to the project as well as a history of activity in the crypto space.
The ability to interact with team members on apps like Discord is even better because it gives you the opportunity to see how passionate they are about the project and how helpful they are with members of the community. It's really about getting a better sense of the character of team members to determine if they are trustworthy enough for you to invest your hard-earned money in the project.

2. Analyze the project timeline
Having a decent timeline with some of the major developments planned for the future is a positive sign because it shows that there is at least a larger plan for the project.
Many projects today have very generalized "copy and paste" roadmaps that don't offer much depth or substance, so if it looks like at least some effort has been put into carving out a unique long-term vision, that is better than most.
Still, it's best to view roadmaps with some speculation as it is a tricky process with many unforeseen pitfalls that can make even the best of intentions go sideways.
Related: 5 Reasons to Get Started With DeFi3. Check the quality of the NFT art
It's only a small fraction of the available NFT collections that will ever reach a notable valuation and see any significant level of price appreciation for their owners. Keeping that in mind, it's important for you to actually like/love the piece that you are buying because you could very well be its forever owner.
Perception is perhaps one of the most subjective things in the human experience, so assuming a project will do well because you find it aesthetically pleasing is a setup for a letdown. The characteristic price volatility the cryptocurrency market is known for is even more intense in the NFT arena, so being content with the possibility of a long-term hold is crucial.
4. Evaluate the community behind the NFT
The strength of a community is one of the most important factors in the long-term success and viability of any project in the crypto ecosystem but especially with NFTs. Due to the scarcity of each project when compared to the average cryptocurrency, the small group of owners must work together to ensure that their project stands out and remains relevant in an increasingly crowded field.
BAYC has risen from an unknown collection to a multi-billion dollar ecosystem thanks to a dedicated community. But don't come to the conclusion that only huge communities can build good projects. Even a small passionate community can make a big difference. There are plenty of examples for this, take a look at the relatively new project called StarCards on Astar Network, the community has less than 1000 members but the project's already turning heads in the DOT ecosystem.
Getting into NFT discords is a great way to find out why others like a project and also to get deep-dive knowledge without all the leg work. Just remember, when it comes to community, it's really about quality more than quantity because dedicated community members will stick with you through thick and thin. If the Discord group isn't very active or is mainly filled with talk about price floors, take that as a sign it's time to move on to the next project under consideration.

5. Analyze the utility of the NFT
As crypto evolves and NFTs become more than simple JPEGs, a newer factor that needs to be considered is the utility of an NFT.
Does it grant you any special privileges or access to something exclusive? Does it offer a way for you to make money through future projects or other income opportunities?
NFT tech is way beyond mere JPEGs, and people are realizing it. An accurate example is the StarCards project mentioned earlier: The team is building a DEX called StarSwap, the first one with NFT governance, giving the NFT technology a fantastic use case.
Now that the crypto market has entered a bear market and ushered in a new market cycle, the next generation of NFTs are going to have to up the ante to stand out from their predecessors and advance the space forward.
At this point in the game, if an NFT project you are evaluating offers little more than a cool picture that has potential resale value and little else, it's probably best to move along until you find a project that helps bring additional value to your portfolio on top of being a piece of art that you absolutely must-have.

HOPCo Partners with Future Health Works to Acquire Musculoskeletal Patient Engagement and Outcomes Tracking Platform
Partnership aims to create the world's largest integrated MSK data platform
PHOENIX, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthcare Outcomes Performance Company (HOPCo), the US leader in musculoskeletal (MSK) physician practice management, outcomes management, and value-based care solutions, has announced the acquisition of MSK-specific technology platforms developed by London based Future Health Works (FHW), including msk.ai. This partnership will dramatically streamline the rollout of evidence-based protocols, automated clinical decision support, remote care management, and value-based care programs. FHW's innovative software has unique capabilities that include remote patient monitoring (RPM) with real-time patient feedback, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and patented motion capture technology. These platforms, such as myrecovery, have been the preferred patient engagement program for organizations across the UK, including leading Hospitals and Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) within the NHS (National Health Service), provider groups, and implant manufacturers, to provide insights into MSK care, drive improved clinical outcomes, and elevate patient experience and engagement.
"The FHW platforms and their AI capabilities combined with HOPCo's outcomes management infrastructure will make the transition from volume-based to value-based care easier and more predictable," said Dr. Wael Barsoum, President and Chief Transformation Officer of HOPCo. "At the same time, providers require more advanced tools to monitor, track, and report outcomes in real-time as part of their participation in value-based care programs. The myrecovery and msk.ai platforms impressed us because the engagement rates of patients and providers were dramatically higher than any other platforms we have ever studied and tested."
FHW's platforms include a full suite of predictive analytics capabilities that serve as an early identifier of patients at higher risk for adverse outcomes or hospital readmissions. This technology bolsters HOPCo's already robust outcomes management platform, claims analytics, clinical datasets, and IT tools that have successfully improved clinical outcomes, patient experience, and access to care while lowering the total cost of MSK care and decreasing the historic spending trends for payors across wide geographies.
"Over the last 15 years, HOPCo has had unmatched success in value-based MSK care delivery programs and will continue to do so," said Dr. Bryan Wall, CMIO at HOPCo. "This acquisition further accelerates HOPCo's ability to connect patients, providers, and payors, thus enhancing visibility to evidence-based pathways. All of this leads to improved outcomes and savings in a much more meaningful way than other solutions. This also helps HOPCo continue to become the global leader in musculoskeletal complex data management."
HOPCo is currently partnered with health systems and physicians in more than 30 states and continues to partner with payors across the US in advanced value-based care programs, including the country's first statewide MSK-focused population health program in Arizona. With the addition of the FHW platform, HOPCo is creating an unparalleled technology infrastructure that offers comprehensive analytics and care enhancement services to health systems, physician practices, payors, and patients across the US.
"By leveraging HOPCo's infrastructure and proven track record of combining data, technologies, and clinical care delivery expertise that unlocks better outcomes and value in the MSK space, FHW can remain focused on our core competencies and accelerate the further development of patient-centric, value-based, care delivery technology solutions," said Dr. Thomas Harte, CEO and co-founder of FHW. "We are excited to have the support and expertise of HOPCo to ensure we replicate in the US the success we have had in the UK and elsewhere."
This cross-border deal was facilitated and managed by MedWorld Advisors, a leading MedTech/ Healthcare specialized M&A Advisory Firm based in the United States, with offices and partners around the world.

Man Utd ‘are tracking Denzel Dumfries with Erik ten Hag considering transfer for Inter star’ in hint at formation change
MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly tracking Inter Milan right-back Denzel Dumfries.
The Red Devils are expected to completely revamp their squad this summer following a disastrous season.
New boss Erik ten Hag has already put together a list of potential transfer targets, and Dumfries, 26, is said to be at the very top.
The 52-year-old is claimed to be a huge fan of the fellow Dutchman, who registered 12 goal contributions in 45 appearances across all competitions last season for Inter after a stunning Euros for Holland.
And according to Italian outlet Calciomercato, Man Utd have now started to track him in order to prepare for a potential bid.
Dumfries played as a right wing-back for the majority of last season, which could suggest that Ten Hag will try implementing a back five when the next campaign kicks off.
However, the Red Devils may face competition from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich for his signature.
Inter Milan are open to the idea of selling Dumfries as it increases the likelihood of them retaining Italian centre-back Alessandro Bastoni, who is also being targeted by the Red Devils.
Ten Hag and his staff are searching for defensive reinforcements ahead of next season.
Man Utd conceded 57 goals during the 2021/22 campaign - the highest amount since 1978/79 when they let in 63.

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.

Kolkata, Jun 7 (PTI) In a scathing attack against the saffron camp for the controversial comments by two BJP functionaries on Prophet Mohammad, the TMC on Tuesday said its "politics of hatred" has only brought disgrace to the nation and left it facing diplomatic outrage at the world forum for the first time since Independence.

TMC's chief spokesperson Sukhendu Sekhar Ray said that instead of offering an "apology" for the unwarranted comments, the Centre is risking jeopardizing diplomatic ties with Middle East nations on whom the country depends for its crude oil imports.
The comments drew sharp reactions from BJP which said the party and the Centre are well aware of how to tackle the situation.

"A few days ago Prime Minister Narendra Modi had claimed that he has not done or allowed any thing which would put the country to shame. But it was a white lie," Ray said.
Without naming any BJP leader, the TMC leader said a BJP spokesperson made outrageous comments against Prophet Mohammad on national television, bringing shame to India at the international forum.
"For the first time since Independence, India is facing diplomatic outrage from some foreign countries for the comments ... Its envoys in foreign countries are being summoned. BJP's politics of hatred has dented the country's image," Ray told a press conference here.
His comments came in the backdrop of BJP suspending its national spokesperson Nupur Sharma and expelling the party's Delhi media head Naveen Kumar Jindal as the row over their alleged derogatory remarks against Prophet Mohammad escalated with protests from some Middle East countries.
"India's allies are turning their backs to it. From a peace-loving and respectful nation, we are fast turning into one that is hostile to minorities. This is the image that it has now in foreign countries. Is this BJP's idea of 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas'?” Ray asked.
The tension between India and the Gulf nations may cripple the country's business interests and jeopardize the lives and livelihoods of lakhs of Indians living in those countries. It is jeopardizing the crude oil imports, the majority of which comes from Gulf countries, he said.
Wondering why no legal action had been initiated against the duo, he said their suspension was an organisational action.
"What about the legal action by the union home ministry? Why has no action been initiated against them?" the TMC spokesperson asked.
The BJP appoints such "fringe elements" to pursue their political agenda. "What BJP is doing by suspending their spokesperson is nothing but a cover-up. Why is BJP national president J P Nadda, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Prime Minister Modi silent on this issue? India should not be held responsible for irresponsible comments made by the BJP leaders," he said.
Hitting back, BJP national secretary Anupam Hazra said "India has reached a new high in the world order under the Narendra Modi government and TMC should stop lecturing the Centre on what should be done or not. BJP has taken appropriate action which it deemed fit".
India on Monday faced diplomatic heat with strong reactions by Islamic countries to the controversial comments by the two BJP functionaries against Prophet Mohammad even as it slammed the 57-nation OIC for its "motivated" and "mischievous" comments on the matter.
After Kuwait, Qatar and Iran summoned Indian ambassadors over the remarks by Nupur Sharma and Naveen Jindal, several Islamic countries, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Indonesia, Bahrain, Maldives, and Oman, also denounced the comments. Some of them welcomed BJP's punitive action against the duo.

HAVANA, Cuba — Marco put his home up for sale, a concrete, one-bedroom house outside the Cuban capital, just blocks from the beach. He's hoping to sell almost everything he has to fund the journey out of Cuba.
"Everything is for sale. ... Everything," he says.
Marco doesn't want to use his full name because he's afraid he could face government repercussions for talking about his plans to leave the country.
If he gets out, he'll become the latest in the largest wave of Cubans to leave the island in decades. Many are trying to cross by land from Mexico to the United States. In April alone, U.S. authorities recorded more than 35,000 Cuban nationals at the U.S. southwest border — almost as many as the entire 2021 fiscal year, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They're fleeing mainly because Cuba is struggling through a steep economic downturn. And as leaders from the hemisphere meet at this week's Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles, immigration will be a major theme — but communist-controlled Cuba isn't invited.
He lost his job and the economy only got worse
Marco lost his job as an architect during the coronavirus pandemic. He says the economic situation got worse last year when the government nixed the dual currency system and kept only the Cuban peso. Inflation has soared — and so has state control of everything, he says.
He knows starting a new life will be hard, he says, "but at least I'll have tried. Here I can't even do that."
But it hasn't been an easy getaway. Marco was asking $15,000 for his house. Now he says he would even take $8,000.
One real estate broker in Havana describes the housing market as "fishing season," because so much property is up for sale.
He asks to be identified only as Alfredo, so he can speak freely about his work. Alfredo sells everything in U.S. dollars and all transactions take place outside Cuba. He has more than 2,000 listings available.
"If on one block there are 24 houses, 20 of them are for sale. And the other four are considering selling," he says, "no lie!"
Inequality is growing
The Cuban government blames the dismal economy and mass emigration on the U.S. Not just the decades-long U.S. embargo, but also tough economic sanctions imposed by former President Donald Trump that are still in place.
Cuba's all-important tourism sector has tanked, especially during the pandemic, and the country can't find the cash to buy vital goods — everything from basic food to fuel oil. A piece of fruit or meat now cost 1,000% more than last year, according to Cuban economist Omar Everleny.
Inequality in Cuba is growing.
"Now there is a marked distinction in society between those living on a state salary — just raised to about $50 a month — and those who get help from relatives abroad," Everleny says.
Some go to Panama, then north to the U.S.
And those who can, are leaving. Lines outside foreign embassies are long. One woman gets a call from her husband while waiting in a Havana park by the Panamanian Embassy. She wants to be identified only by her first name María because she, too, is afraid to talk about plans to get off the island.
The couple is trying to get a transit visa to Panama. "Then we'll head to Nicaragua and look for work," she says. Visa requirements there were just lifted for Cubans. From there, they head north to the U.S. border.
And leading the exodus are Cuba's youth. In the hallway of a rundown building in Old Havana a group of teens are twerking and rapping before a video camera.
One 18-year-old says he wants more opportunities. He uses the stage name El Chulito and doesn't want to give his real name or talk politics. He says it's about music and the only economy for that is outside Cuba.

Oregon’s very first state park—a modest greenspace on the banks of the Luckiamute River near Monmouth—has been accepted into the National Register of Historic Places. And the honor couldn’t be more perfectly timed: This year, Oregon State Parks is celebrating its centennial.
Sarah Helmick State Recreation Site is named after the woman who donated 5.46 acres of her family homestead to the Oregon State Highway Commission in 1922 so that weary travelers would have a place to rest. Over the next 60 years, other landowners donated adjacent parcels, helping the site grow to 81.72 acres, about 15 of which are open to visitors.
When the recreation area opened in 1924, it marked the official launch of the Oregon State Parks system that today comprises 254 parks and more than 100,000 acres.
Over the years, the agency has made improvements to the site, including the addition of picnic tables and restrooms, the setting has retained a historical feel. Oregon State Parks has even preserved an unpaved footpath leading to the Luckiamute—one of the original features.
“In 2022 we celebrate the places Oregonians hold dear: the viewpoints, the waterfalls, the trails, and the historic landmarks,” Lisa Sumption, director of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, stated in a press release. “The Helmick donation became our first park, so it is fitting that we officially recognize its status by adding it to the National Register.” | https://www.wweek.com/outdoors/2022/06/07/oregons-first-state-park-will-be-listed-in-the-national-register-of-historic-places/ | 2022-06-07T15:03:06Z | https://www.wweek.com/outdoors/2022/06/07/oregons-first-state-park-will-be-listed-in-the-national-register-of-historic-places/ | true | 1 |
South African film editor Eileen de Klerk is making waves overseas as she works on a string of high-end TV series and Hollywood films.
Her most recent accolade being her editorial work on the psychological black comedy-drama, “The Shrink Next Door”, which stars award-winning actors Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd as Marty Markowitz and Dr Herschkopf Ike, respectively.
Kathryn Hahn plays Marty's protective sister Phyllis with Casey Wilson cast as Bonnie.
The eight-episode mini-series is based on a true story of Marty and the therapist, who turned his life around and then took it over.
When Marty, a neurotic patient first meets Dr Ike, he just wants to get better at boundaries; he then learns all about them and what happens when they are crossed.
From the moment the two meet, Dr Ike takes advantage of Marty and continues to do so for the next 30 years as he ingratiates his way into Marty’s life, his finances and his home. Meanwhile, Phyllis who is powerless to do anything is ostracised from their cult of two.
The mini-series is based on a podcast of the same name by investigative journalist Joe Nocera.
Developed by Georgia Pritchett, it tackles the art of brainwashing, the importance of emotional and psychological intelligence as well as the ugliness of personal and social codependency.
The show premiered on Apple TV Network in November last year, receiving great reviews.
Aside from this successful show, the Cape Town AFDA graduate has also worked on a string of filmography and boasts an impressive portfolio, which includes editing credits for “Dark Cargo”, “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter” and “Momentum”. | https://www.iol.co.za/entertainment/tv/streaming/the-shrink-next-door-edited-by-top-sa-film-editor-eileen-de-klerk-b468be1b-1a5b-4e72-95f0-990551873ad4 | 2022-06-07T15:03:17Z | https://www.iol.co.za/entertainment/tv/streaming/the-shrink-next-door-edited-by-top-sa-film-editor-eileen-de-klerk-b468be1b-1a5b-4e72-95f0-990551873ad4 | true | 1 |
During the 2017 All-Star Weekend, Klay Thompson revealed the 4 players on his Mt. Rushmore of three-point shooters.
Players like Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry have truly transformed modern basketball. It is majorly because of the Warriors’ backcourt that the league has become more fast-paced, and why teams have been tossing up more threes than ever.
Truly, Klay is one of the most excellent marksmen in the history of the NBA. Mastering the art of shooting the rock accurately, most of the three-point records either belong to him or his Splash Brother.
Also Read: CJ McCollum points out Klay Thompson is vital to Warriors’ success in the NBA Finals
With 1,912 shots made from beyond the arch in the regular season, and 435 (#2 all-time) 3pt FGM in the postseason, we can easily add Thompson’s name among the best long-distance shooters ever. And while naming the four players on his Mt. Rushmore of three-point shooters, Thompson decided to give himself some validation.
Klay Thompson left out Reggie Miller and Ray Allen from his Mt. Rushmore of 3-point shooters
Back in 2017, during the All-Star Weekend in New Orleans, Thompson was asked to name the players on his Mt. Rushmore of 3-point shooters.
Without any hesitation, he decided to add Steph and himself to the list. After giving it quite a thought, he further showed love to Kyle Korver and Dirk Nowitzki by naming them as well.
While it is beautiful to see Klay give respect to Korver and Dirk, it is very uncommon to see a list of the best 3-point shooters without the inclusion of Reggie Miller as well as Ray Allen.
Throughout the span of his career, Nowitzki knocked down 1,982 3-pointers, which is highly impressive from a big man. However, credits have to be given where due. Miller (#4 on the all-time list with 2,560) and Allen (#2 on the all-time list with 2,973), both have more three-pointers made with better efficiency than the Mavs legend.

The $50,000 grant from the Kendeda Fund and 1Earth Fund is made possible by Journalism Funding Partners
ATLANTA, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has received a $50,000 donation from the Kendeda Fund and 1Earth Fund to expand coverage of climate change in Georgia. The one-year grant, made possible by Journalism Funding Partners, will be used to increase the volume and depth of reporting on how climate change is affecting metro Atlanta and the state.
Georgia is vulnerable and is already experiencing dangerous heat, stronger storms and more frequent flooding. With its diverse landscape from mountains to coastal marshlands, the state is expected to see even more dramatic impacts to its livability and economy as climate change accelerates.
With this funding, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution will be able to go beyond the daily news and take a deeper look at how the changing environment will affect Atlantans' everyday lives. The newspaper currently employs one climate and environmental reporter, Drew Kann, who joined in October 2021 from CNN.
"The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is known for our in-depth reporting and our willingness to pursue complex stories where the stakes are high," said Kevin Riley, editor of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "Climate change is a topic where real, in-depth reporting can make a lasting impact, and we're thankful we've secured partners who also see the clarity credible journalism can bring to this issue."
How Philanthropy is Helping The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Like many newspapers across the country, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is seeking to build partnerships with community and philanthropic organizations to support in-depth journalism for high-impact topics. Along with subscriptions and advertising, donations are another way the community can support the mission of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and ensure the newspaper is able to serve the public for decades to come.
Partners who choose to fund projects with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution understand the value of editorial independence and respect journalistic integrity. As with all community partnerships, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution will retain editorial control of its content.
Journalism Funding Partners is a nonprofit that specializes in connecting donors with news organizations and helped make this grant possible.
"Journalism is vital to the health of our democracy and the overall health of communities," said Rusty Coats, executive director of Journalism Funding Partners. "We believe The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a valuable role to play in helping Georgians understand the threat of climate change and what should be done to mitigate the risks."
Funds provided through this philanthropic initiative will allow the newspaper to hire and assign staff to cover topics it was either unable to cover or cover sufficiently to satisfy the need. The AJC will be transparent about which people or organizations provided support to make special projects like this possible.

(NewsNation) — Children who play team sports are less likely to suffer mental health problems, according to a new study.
Dr. Matt Hoffmann of California State University and his colleagues analyzed data on the sports habits and mental health of 11,235 children. Parents and guardians reported on various aspects of the children’s mental health by filling out the Child Behavior Checklist.
The survey asked parents whether their kids showed any signs of depression, anxiety, or social withdrawal.
Researchers then studied their answers, and in relation to their kids’ participation in sports, found a positive correlation but only for team sports.
Dr. Sue Varma, a board-certified psychiatrist who works with children, said there are several benefits and social skills that children learn while being on a sports team.
“Particularly at a young age — you gain a sense of community, a sense of cohesion, a sense of togetherness, your social skills are better, you have to negotiate, you are relying on other people for your success,” she explained.
Varma continued: “When you don’t do well, you also have a group of people to spread out the blame, so to speak, so that you’re not taking all the individual responsibility for the wins and the losses. We see that there’s less depression, less anxiety, less social withdrawal, in team sports, children that are playing them.”
Meanwhile, researchers also found that kids who participate in individual sports like wrestling, golf or tennis can be less mentally healthy than kids who don’t participate in sports at all.
However, Varma said it’s important to say that this is a correlation and not necessarily causation, and she doesn’t want this to deter students from participating in sports with the idea that they’re not going to do well mentally.
“Individual sport participation, perhaps because there’s more pressure because you are the individual, you’re the sole person responsible for both the success and the losses, and that if you don’t do well, quote, a person feels like, ‘It’s all my fault,'” she said.
“And there’s a lot of pressure, intense pressure. So we did see higher anxiety, depression, social withdrawal, and perhaps less of the benefits of social cohesion and social skills that we saw with the team sports.”
Varma continued: “I want to caution and say that this could be more of a correlation. And it’s possible that people who already have this, perhaps gravitate towards these kinds of sports or that they exacerbate it, we don’t exactly know for sure.” | https://www.wcia.com/news/national/study-kids-in-team-sports-tend-to-be-happier/ | 2022-06-07T15:10:52Z | https://www.wcia.com/news/national/study-kids-in-team-sports-tend-to-be-happier/ | true | 22 |
Gainesville Housing Authority has provided affordable, safe housing for 56 years
The Gainesville Housing Authority was created by an emergency resolution by the City Commission on Aug. 1, 1966, which declared the need for a housing authority in Gainesville and created one. In section 1(b), the resolution states, “There is a shortage of safe and sanitary dwelling accommodations in the City of Gainesville, Florida available to families of low income at rentals they can afford.”
Fifty-six years later, that statement remains true, and the Gainesville Housing Authority (GHA) is still committed to providing affordable, safe and sanitary housing to all of our program participants. GHA operates over 2,100 affordable housing units, of which we administer more than 1,700 Housing Choice vouchers. Governed by our Board of Commissioners, who are appointed by the mayor, the authority has been led by CEO Pamela Davis for the last 10 years.
GHA’s mission is to function as a performance-driven, customer-focused sustainable business, advocating for, preserving and developing quality affordable housing and self-sufficiency opportunities. GHA provides a wide array of supportive services to our residents and was awarded the Job Plus grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2019.
A significant focus of the agency is self-sufficiency with an emphasis on financial literacy, education services, employment services, youth services, and entrepreneurial training and development. Since 2012, GHA has contracted resident-owned businesses to provide services for the authority, allowing economic empowerment for residents and resulting in over $2.3 million in contract business. Currently, GHA is designing the E.L.I.T.E. Force Job Training Center located along East University Avenue to provide our residents and Gainesville community members with access to training for in careers such as the apartment industry.
GHA formed a non-profit, the Gainesville Housing Development and Management Corporation (GHDMC), in 2014 to provide, develop and manage affordable housing opportunities and properties for low- and moderate-income persons and/or families. GHDMC currently owns and operates 10 properties throughout the county, including an 18-unit townhome community, Stone Hill Townhomes, in the city of Alachua.
GHDMC recently completed the new construction of a duplex in southwest Gainesville. These two new affordable housing units are for those with special needs, including the elderly, disabled and veteran individuals.
In 2020, along with our development partner, Pinnacle Housing, we completed the first phase of our Woodland Park redevelopment. The Grove at Sweetwater Preserve is a 96-unit mixed-finance development. The development consists of one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units and was financed with Low Income Housing Tax Credits.
We are focused on completing Phases II & III of the Woodland Park redevelopment; these next two phases have the potential to bring up to 144 new affordable units into our community. The Low Income Housing Tax Credits process is arduous, and we are thankful for the support of the city of Gainesville as we prepare for the next tax credit application process.
The GHA Board of Commissioners adopted a strategic business plan in 2020. This plan outlined the goals and objectives of the authority for the next five years. Among those goals was to increase the number of housing opportunities by 500 units.
To date, we have brought an additional 208 affordable housing opportunities to the Gainesville community through new construction and our voucher program. GHA renewed our commitment to our core purpose through our strategic business plan, which is the exact purpose we were created for 56 years ago.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to solving the affordable housing crises, whether it’s housing for low-to-moderate-income families or providing workforce housing opportunities. We would like to thank the efforts of the city of Gainesville and the Alachua County Commission, as well as all the other non-profit affordable housing practitioners in our community.
GHA will continue to pursue our vision to be the leader in developing affordable housing to ensure that all Gainesville residents have access to high-quality housing, providing a foundation for improving their quality of life and achieving self-sufficiency.
Malcolm Kiner is vice president of real estate development for the Gainesville Housing Authority.

Figure skating minimum age rises to 17 before 2026 Olympics
PHUKET, Thailand (AP) — No 15-year-old figure skaters will be allowed to compete at the 2026 Olympics following the controversy surrounding Russian national champion Kamila Valieva at this year’s Beijing Games.
A new age limit for figure skaters at senior international events was passed Tuesday by the International Skating Union in a 110-16 vote that will raise the minimum age to 17 before the next Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.
“This is a very important decision,” ISU president Jan Dijkema said. “I would say a very historic decision.”
The limit will be phased in with 16-year-olds allowed to compete in the 2023-24 season, rising to 17 the season after, which is the last before the Olympics.
The change was coming even before figure skating at the Beijing Olympics was dominated by the emotional stress put on the 15-year-old Valieva. She was the favorite to take individual gold, after helping the Russians win the team title, before her positive doping test from December was belatedly revealed during the Olympics.
The teenager was allowed to train under intense scrutiny as a Court of Arbitration for Sport hearing was prepared that allowed her to compete pending the full investigation in Russia. That is still ongoing.
However, her main routine was filled with errors and she dropped to fourth place. She was then criticized rink-side by her coach, Eteri Tutberidze.
The ISU drafted an age-limit proposal saying “burnout, disordered eating, and long-term consequences of injury” were a risk to young teenage skaters who are pushed to perform more quadruple jumps.
The governing body said it had “a duty of care to protect the physical and psychological health and safety of all athletes including elite adolescent athlete(s).”

Pope creates, staffs committee to guide future investments
By NICOLE WINFIELD
Associated Press
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has announced the first appointments under his newly reformed Vatican bureaucracy. He has tapped a trusted cardinal, Kevin Farrell, to head a new investment committee. Also named to the committee Tuesday were four outside financial experts from Britain, Germany, Norway and the U.S. Francis’ new reform went into effect Sunday. It calls for the creation of an investment committee to guarantee “the ethical nature of the Holy See’s securities investments according to the church’s social doctrine and at the same time their profitability (and) adequacy.” | https://kesq.com/news/ap-national-business/2022/06/07/pope-creates-staffs-committee-to-guide-future-investments/ | 2022-06-07T15:18:12Z | https://kesq.com/news/ap-national-business/2022/06/07/pope-creates-staffs-committee-to-guide-future-investments/ | false | null |

Which solid colognes for travel are best?
Most users are accustomed to splash and spray when it comes to cologne. Moisture particles fly everywhere, adding haphazard though pleasant fragrances to your wardrobes. Unfortunately, liquid colognes rarely survive travel adventures. If you have trips coming up but still want to smell your best, cut the mess and half the fuss with the best solid cologne for travel.
If you’re looking for a strong scent with a no-mess application, try the Duke Cannon Supply Co. Solid Cologne Balm, Bourbon for your next trip.
What to know before you buy a solid cologne for travel
What is solid cologne?
One of the best ways to boost your aromatic confidence is with quality cologne. However, liquid cologne doesn’t travel well on airplanes with strict restrictions or road trips with continual bumps and bounces. If you don’t want to end up with your expensive cologne confiscated by the TSA or spilled all over your suitcase interior, solid cologne is your solution. Delivering fragrance with waxy bases — typically from oils, beeswax or even shea butter — solid cologne eliminates fragile glass containers and sticky sprays. Not only is solid cologne easier for travel, but since the packaging is simple, it tends to be more eco-friendly.
They aren’t as long-lasting
While a quality solid cologne offers plenty of benefits — especially for frequent travelers — they do have some drawbacks. One of the main downsides is they don’t last as long as typical spray cologne. You can expect a solid cologne to keep its fragrance for two to four hours. This is more effective (and affordable) than your average aftershave and not a problem as long as you remember to top off a couple of times throughout the day.
Availability
The market for solid colognes is growing but not currently overwhelming. That means you may not have as wide of options as you’re accustomed to with your spray cologne. Your favorite spray scent may not be available in solid form. Check with your favorite company to see if it offers solid fragrances.
What to look for in a quality solid cologne for travel
Portability
Solid cologne tends to be small and lightweight. This helps increase their portability since you don’t have a bulky bottle or spray top with a pump. They’re easy to throw in a gym bag, carry-on or even a pocket to use throughout the day. You won’t need to worry about glass breaking or liquids spilling.
Convenient use
It’s easy to go overboard on fragrance when you’re using a bottle with a spray pump. Solid cologne helps you apply your scents precisely. It’s easy to apply without being overpowering.
Skin-friendly
Any product that irritates your skin isn’t worth using, no matter how good it smells. Many aftershaves are high in alcohol while spray colognes are mostly made of fragrance materials. Both of these ingredients can be drying or irritating to the skin. Solid colognes don’t contain alcohol and are made with naturally moisturizing components. Shea butter and essential oils are common ingredients in solid cologne, making them far gentler on most skin types.
Privacy
There’s no need to take out a cumbersome bottle and spray yourself in the middle of the day. Simply rubon a tiny bit of solid cologne without drawing unnecessary attention.
How much you can expect to spend on solid colognes for travel
On the cheaper side, you can get solid cologne for $10-$25. Some of the best, highest-quality solid colognes are $30-$60.
Solid cologne for travel FAQ
How do you use solid cologne?
A. Solid cologne is easy to use. Simply open the container and rub your fingers lightly over the surface a couple of times. When you have a satisfactory amount of fragrance on your fingertips, apply it where desired — usually the wrists, neck or bends of the elbows.
How long do solid colognes last?
A. Solid colognes tend to have a fragrance that lasts two to four hours. If you want a more lasting scent, apply your cologne more than once throughout the day.

Tyrone legend Peter Canavan says the loss of several members of last year's panel played a large role in the failure of the Red Hand to retain their All-Ireland championship.
The loss to Armagh on Sunday means that Tyrone are the first reigning All-Ireland champions to exit the Championship without winning a game since the inception of the back door in 2001.
Tyrone lost several members of last years panel since that August triumph over Mayo. The likes of Tiernan McCann, Paul Donaghy, Ronan O’Neill, Mark Bradley, Lee Brennan, Hugh Pat McGeary and Michael Cassidy all left the panel.
Canvan feels that Tyrone needed to have a stronger panel than last year to compete for the Sam Maguire this year. Writing for Sky Sports he said: "Tyrone needed to have a stronger panel than 2021 to retain their All-Ireland title this year. Not a weaker one.
"If you look back at teams that have successfully defended the Sam Maguire Cup, most recently Dublin, their strength in depth has been remarkable.
"Yes, they had really talented footballers. But they were able to keep a united panel together year after year. That is what's required.
"Tyrone's year got off to a bad start with all the withdrawals from the panel.
"The hunger and cohesiveness that was there last year, they were devoid of that in so many games."
Canavan was part of two Tyrone All-Ireland winning teams which failed to retain their crown. He feels the current panel will now have to live with question marks over their legacy.
"The players will now have to live with the notion that is held by many that they were fortunate All-Ireland champions last year."
It hasn't been all doom and gloom for the Red Hand in 2022, however. Their U20 side, featuring Canavan's son, Ruairí, won the All-Ireland. While their minor side are much vaunted and face Kerry in the All-Ireland quarter-final.
Despite those successes, however, Canavan questions why the county couldn't retain players who had just attained the sport's highest accolade.
"Why can you not keep players together in a panel that has just won an All-Ireland?
"Behind the scenes, there's a bit of planning and restructuring to be done. It's too simple to lay everything at the door of Brian Dooher and Feargal Logan.
"A lot of things happening in Tyrone are happening off the cuff. It's time to sit down and do the bit of restructuring that's required.
"The talent is definitely there. It's a football-mad county. There's great work going on with the minors, and there's a talented bunch coming through.
"There needs to be a bit of work done with planning and a strategic vision, rather than hoping that we get to another All-Ireland final or win another All-Ireland.
"The 2021 success papered over some cracks. They got a bounce from the new management regime."
Canavan sees the work being done on the ground in rival neighbouring counties like Derry and Armagh and feels they will be a threat for the long term.
"Derry and Armagh are on the way up. Tyrone would be naive to think that 2022 is just a one-off year. The age profiles in the Oak Leaf and Orchard counties means these teams will be about for a few years to come.
"It's not a pretty position Tyrone find themselves in at the minute." | https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid-40890200.html | 2022-06-07T15:23:46Z | https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid-40890200.html | false | 1 |
Customers can now easily access Britive's platform to gain continuous visibility and control, policy and governance, and monitoring and protection across all AWS accounts
LOS ANGELES, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Britive, a cloud-native dynamic access management platform, announced today that it has joined the AWS Partner Network (APN). Additionally, Britive is announcing the availability of its platform in AWS Marketplace.
AWS Marketplace is a curated digital catalog that makes it easy for customers to find, buy, deploy and manage third-party software, data and services to build solutions and run their businesses on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Organizations turn to AWS for speed, agility, and scalability, where human and service IDs play important roles in the development process. Service IDs typically outnumber human IDs, which can lead to an increase in standing privileges and a broader attack surface. Since service IDs are built at the speed of automation –– often completing tasks automatically 24/7 –– having an access management strategy that secures human and service IDs is essential. This is why Britive has made its Dynamic Permission platform available to AWS customers today.
"As Head of Cyber Security, I need to understand when developers need privileged access, for how long, and that it is granted to a minimum set of systems and data for a specific period of time," said Dustin Goodwin, Head of Cyber Security at Nayya. "Britive provides AWS visibility through rapid audit and access discovery, enforcement of expanded access privileges, and automated privilege reduction when no longer required. The outcome is reduced risk and the ability to operate with higher confidence through just-in-time, temporarily console and programmatic access, which lets Nayya app development achieve velocity and protect elevated privileges. The solution is a huge advantage for our DevSecOps initiatives."
In the last 12 months, Britive increased ARR by 3x year-over-year. This growth was driven by 100 percent expansion in its customer base and addition of new customers including an industry-leading insurance group, a Fortune 500 international retail organization, and a Fortune 500 data management company.
"We've seen a significant boost in demand in the last year for more robust identity management across AWS services—that's why this new partnership is so critical," said Art Poghosyan, CEO, Britive. "By offering Britive in AWS Marketplace, we can now offer customers Just-In-Time permissioning for human and service IDs, dynamic secrets generations for human and service IDs, and full integration with operation-critical SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, and DaaS services. This is yet another step in fulfilling our mission of helping businesses protect their ever-growing attack surfaces."

The Coretec Group, Inc., (OTCQB: CRTG) developers of a silicon anode for lithium-ion batteries, engineered silicon, and 3D volumetric displays is making the rounds to automotive, electric vehicle, and battery events this summer to discuss how its Endurion battery program can advance the electrification of transportation and increase battery efficiency across industries.
Following participation at the Automotive News Congress on electric vehicles and batteries in May in Nashville and the Mackinac Policy Conference in June in northern Michigan, The Coretec Group is adding several more events to its calendar in the coming months.
Please connect with The Coretec Group at the following events this summer:
June 8: The Connected Vehicle Systems Alliance (COVESA) Networking Reception in Novi, Michigan, associated with AutoTech Detroit
June 8-9: AutoTech Detroit in Novi
July 12-14: Plugvolt Battery Seminar, Plymouth, Michigan
Aug. 2-4: Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars, Traverse City, Michigan
Sept. 13-15: The Battery Show North America in Novi, Michigan
Sept. 14-15: North American International Auto Show Press and Industry Days, Detroit
The Coretec Group plans to leverage the EV and battery industries' top technical, business, and networking events to strengthen and expand its relationships, meet potential partners and clients, and grow awareness of The Coretec Group's Endurion battery development program.
The Coretec Group is applying its decade of experience working in engineered silicon to a problem where advanced battery developers continue to encounter challenges.
The lithium-ion battery industry has acknowledged silicon anodes as the clear next frontier for achieving advancements in battery performance. This is largely because silicon has the capacity to increase energy density, enable longer-running batteries, and improve cycle life.
The silicon anode The Coretec Group is developing in its Endurion program uses nanotechnology to engineer a solution to the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) issue that battery experts have encountered to date when trying to garner the potential 10-times greater lithium storage by using silicon in battery anodes. The SEI-layer issue reduces the charging capacity of a battery by as much as 40% from the first charge-discharge cycle to the second cycle and is an acknowledged industry issue for incorporating silicon into anodes. By using nano-sized silicon molecules in the anode, The Coretec Group is solving this problem.
"At the Automotive News conference, battery chemistry was a hot topic and that's right in our wheelhouse," said Matthew Kappers, CEO of The Coretec Group. "We believe our unique approach to silicon nanoparticles in battery chemistry can unlock silicon's potential to extend battery range, increase cycle life and improve overall battery lifetimes in a way not previously seen.

The Government’s chief scientific adviser has said it is “disappointing” that Downing Street and Whitehall officials did not stick to the rules aimed at preventing Covid.
Sir Patrick Vallance, 62, was one of the key scientists who updated the public through televised Downing Street briefings during the pandemic, sometimes alongside Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
He was speaking after collecting an honour from the Duke of Cambridge at Buckingham Palace for helping to lead the UK’s battle against coronavirus.
He received his honour as Mr Johnson insisted he will survive Conservative critics’ attempts to overthrow him over lockdown breaches.
When asked about the partygate scandal, Sir Patrick said: “It was really important at all stages that everyone stuck to the rules. It works when people stuck to them. It is disappointing that that wasn’t the case.”
Conservative MPs voted 211 to 148 on Monday in support of Mr Johnson following a bruising few months involving the partygate scandal, standards in political life and cost-of-living concerns.
Sir Patrick said the darkest days of the pandemic came amid the “huge uncertainty” about the fast-spreading virus, including when Mr Johnson was struck down with Covid-19.
He recalled those as “difficult” times and said there will be further waves of infection, but the nation should now be in a better place to deal with it.
He said: “The darkest days were in many ways the early days of the pandemic when obviously lots of people became very ill quite quickly – obviously people in the Government fell ill and the Prime Minister was very ill, and those were very difficult days.
“It was mostly about the uncertainty. We did not know much about the virus. We did not know much about exactly how it spread.
“We did not know there were going to be vaccines and treatments.
“We hoped there would be and we were trying to work on them, but we just did not know. There was huge uncertainty at that time and that was most difficult.”
William joked with him that this was “second time lucky” as he presented Sir Patrick, who was originally knighted in the 2019 New Year Honours list, with an upgraded award which makes him a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath.
This recognises the work of senior military officials and civil servants.
Sir Patrick said the most positive time during the pandemic was when the UK became the first place in the world with an approved vaccine.
He said: “It was a real moment where we thought ‘this is going to be a way out of this’ even though it was over a year before it was finally a way to getting out of it.
“It was the thing that changed the course of the pandemic.”
Sir Patrick believes that winter could be a testing time but the NHS leadership is aware of the potential task it may face in dealing with infections and is preparing itself for it.
He said: “We are in a very different position (now) because of the high degree of vaccination and immunity in the population. We will see, I’m afraid, further waves of infection, maybe next winter.”
Sir Patrick believes there will “probably be an annual vaccine for people over a certain age” that could be introduced and eventually the situation will be one where it is “more like a flu wave that we get every winter”.
He added: “It will be difficult because there will be some people who are really affected by it but the key to this is proper vaccination and proper management in the health service.
“Then, gradually over the next two or three years, I think this could settle into a background infection, but we are not quite there yet.”
Sir Patrick praised”the most amazing scientists and experts” who helped to ensure there was evidence-based commentary during the pandemic at a time when people were dealing with some “horrific” things.
He added: “It has been one of those experiences where you realise the importance of other people, humanity and the goodwill, hard work, passion and expertise.
“It is nice to feel trusted and I am grateful for that.
“What I have tried to do, and what others have tried to do, is to make sure we are as honest and straightforward as possible about how we saw the situation at any given moment in the pandemic and to be as realistic as possible – both in terms of treatments and vaccines coming along, but also on what the course of the pandemic was.” | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/06/07/vallance-disappointed-partygate-scandal-officials-did-not-stick-to-covid-rules/ | 2022-06-07T15:32:57Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/06/07/vallance-disappointed-partygate-scandal-officials-did-not-stick-to-covid-rules/ | false | 14 |

Introduces new laboratory supply chain and product standardization solutions
NORTHFIELD, Ill., June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Medline has become the laboratory supplies prime vendor for Ohio-based Dayton Children's Hospital, entering a $10 million, multi-year partnership. The partnership also marks Medline's first pediatric hospital laboratory prime vendor agreement. As Dayton Children's exclusive medical and surgical supplies partner for more than eight years, Medline will now also provide an extensive portfolio of laboratory supplies and solutions for the acute care facility.
During the height of the pandemic, Dayton Children's tapped Medline for new laboratory supply chain and product standardization solutions, focusing on inventory allocations and transparency across ordering, stocking and utilization of testing kits and other laboratory supplies.
"Children's hospitals have different needs than adult hospitals, so it's imperative that we have the right guidance on which products to utilize and the alternatives, and overall visibility into what is and is not attainable," said David Farrall, corporate director of sourcing and supply chain at Dayton Children's Hospital. "Medline has been able to do just that, and more, while being extremely attentive with great follow-up and bringing new ideas to the table."
Medline's supply chain capabilities will help Dayton Children's improve its operational results without compromising quality by streamlining the integration of the laboratory business, which traditionally operated separately, into the hospital's broader supply chain operations. The two organizations will also work together to harmonize internal processes to maintain inventory effectiveness and transparency while providing advisory on product substitutions.
"The unique needs of the pediatrics segment allow us to think outside the box when it comes to delivering the best laboratory solutions," said Rick Hammerly, acute care sales at Medline. "We're thrilled to break into this space and partner with a health system that shares the same values as Medline, which is a commitment to helping healthcare run better for all."
Medline bridges the gap between clinical lab and supply chain efficiency, offering a broad portfolio of 120,000 products covering all major lab categories, including various Medline-branded products, and is rapidly approaching 100 lab prime vendor partnerships.

Infants among 22 worshippers killed in Nigeria church attack
ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Two infants are among the 22 worshippers killed in an attack on a church in southwestern Nigeria that has shocked the West African nation, an emergency official told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
The dead have been taken to the morgue while about 50 wounded people are still being treated in hospital following the attack at the St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo town in Ondo state, said Kadiri Olanrewaju, head of Nigeria’s National Emergency Management Services in Ondo.
The exact number of those killed is not known as some of the dead were taken away by family members for private burials, said residents.
“It is only those at the hospital morgue that I am giving you, not the ones in the church taken home for burial. I don’t have that record,” Olanrewaju with the emergency relief services said.
Ogunmolasuyi Oluwole and Adelegbe Timileyin, both of whom represent Owo at the state and federal legislative houses, told AP earlier that more than 50 were killed in the attack.
Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country with 206 million people, has grappled for more than a decade with an insurgency in the northeast by the Islamic extremist rebels of Boko Haram and its offshoot, the Islamic State West Africa Province. The country now is confronted by growing insecurity problems as separatists and pirates are blamed for attacks in the country’s south while armed groups frequently launch deadly attacks in the northwest.
Before the church attack, Ondo had been considered one of Nigeria’s most peaceful states. But now Owo, a small town of traders and government workers located 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the state capital of Akure, is reeling from the violence of the church attack.
Schools and public gathering spots remained closed on Tuesday and many residents stayed at home, residents said.
The Ondo Police Command has not made any arrests yet nor have they confirmed the identities of the attackers, said to be at least five in number, a spokeswoman said.
“We can only confirm that explosives were used and we found three undetonated IEDs (improvised explosive devices) at the scene,” police spokeswoman Odunlami Funmilayo told the AP.
The attackers “sneaked into” the church premises, said the police. Some of them were “disguised as congregants while other armed men who had positioned themselves around the church premises from different directions, fired into the church,” the police added.
The attackers opened fire on the worshippers just as the Pentecost Mass was ending, survivors said.
“There was no warning, no threat, this place has been peaceful,” said Sunday Adewale, who works in the palace of the local chief. “They just looked for people’s soft spot when people are relaxed.”

Data from RAGNAR, the largest tumor-agnostic study reported for a targeted therapy and the first to evaluate FGFR-driven malignancies, featured in oral presentation at the 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting
CHICAGO, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson today announced initial results from the pivotal Phase 2 RAGNAR study evaluating the investigational use of BALVERSA® (erdafitinib), a fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) kinase inhibitor, in patients with advanced solid tumors with prespecified FGFR alterations. At a planned interim analysis (IA), responses were observed across a variety of FGFR-driven solid tumors for patients who had exhausted standard treatment options prior to being treated with BALVERSA®.1 These results will be featured in an oral presentation (Abstract #3007) today at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting.
RAGNAR (NCT04083976) is a Phase 2 clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BALVERSA® in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors and prespecified FGFR gene alterations, regardless of tumor location or histology (tumor-agnostic). The IA was based on 178 patients with 32 distinct solid tumor histologies.1 Patients in the study were prospectively identified by local molecular testing or central next-generation sequencing (NGS); the most common tumor types were cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) (n=31), high-grade glioma (tumor of the brain or spinal cord) (n=29), breast cancer (n=14), pancreatic cancer (n=13) and squamous non-small cell lung cancer (n=11).1 The study also included tumors that occur less frequently in the real world such as salivary gland and parathyroid carcinomas (rare endocrine malignancies), as well as tumors of unknown primary origin.1 Study participants were heavily pretreated, with 74.7 percent (n=133) having received two or more prior lines of therapy.1
The primary endpoint of the RAGNAR study is the overall response rate (ORR) as assessed by an independent review committee (IRC). At the IA data cutoff, IRC assessed an ORR of 29.2 percent (95 percent confidence interval [CI], 22.7-36.5) and a disease control rate (DCR) of 72.5 percent (95 percent CI, 65.3-78.9) for the overall tumor-agnostic patient population.1 Investigators observed responses in 14 distinct tumor types. This included responses in hard-to-treat malignancies such as salivary gland cancer (100 percent ORR; treated n=5, responders n=5), pancreatic cancer (31 percent ORR; treated n=13, responders n=4) and glioblastoma (21 percent ORR; treated n=29, responders=6).1 Investigators also observed an overall 7.1-month median duration of response (DOR) (95 percent CI, 5.5-9.3)1. At the data cutoff, 51.1 percent (n=24) of patients who had responded to treatment continued to show a response.1 The primary analysis for all patients treated in this RAGNAR cohort, known as the broad panel cohort, is anticipated later this year.
The safety profile of BALVERSA® observed in RAGNAR was consistent with the known safety profile of BALVERSA® in metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). Across tumor types, 44.9 percent of patients experienced adverse events of grade three or above.1 Adverse events were manageable with supportive care and treatment interruptions or reductions, when necessary.1 The discontinuation rate due to drug-related adverse events was 7.3 percent.1
"Diagnostic advances in the identification of FGFR gene alterations have opened the door to targeted, tumor-agnostic treatment approaches for patients," said Yohann Loriot, M.D., Ph.D., Institut Gustave Roussy and University of Paris-Saclay, and principal study investigator.‡ "Results from the RAGNAR study show that, through the targeted inhibition of FGFR receptors, we may be able to tailor treatment for patients with advanced FGFR-driven cancers, regardless of tumor location or histology."
In 2019, BALVERSA® was granted accelerated approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a targeted therapy for adult patients with locally advanced or mUC with susceptible FGFR2 or FGFR3 alterations and who have progressed during or following at least one line of prior platinum-containing chemotherapy, including within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant platinum-containing chemotherapy.2
"Janssen is committed to advancing precision medicine approaches for the treatment of patients with biomarker-driven cancers, an area of clear unmet need," said Kiran Patel, M.D., Vice President, Clinical Development, Solid Tumors, Janssen Research & Development, LLC. "RAGNAR, Janssen's first tumor-agnostic study, demonstrates our commitment to understand the biology of disease, identify new treatment pathways and improve patient outcomes. We look forward to progressing the development of BALVERSA for these patients and sharing additional updates on this program in the future."
About FGFR Alterations
Fibroblast growth factor receptors are a family of receptor tyrosine kinases that help cells grow, survive and multiply; FGFRs play a key role in several biological processes including tissue repair, inflammatory response and metabolism.3,4,5 Fusions or mutations in the genes that control FGFR (known as FGFR1–4 alterations) may lead to the development and progression of certain cancers by increasing tumor cell growth and survival.4 Patients with advanced, FGFR-driven solid tumors who have exhausted standard treatment options typically face a poor prognosis.
About the RAGNAR Study
RAGNAR (NCT04083976) is a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of BALVERSA® in patients with advanced solid tumors, regardless of cancer type or tumor location (tumor-agnostic), driven by FGFR1–4 alterations. Patients in the trial have progressed on or after at least one line of systemic therapy and have no alternative standard treatment options. Following screening by local molecular testing or central NGS, patients are enrolled in four separate cohorts: a broad panel cohort of patients with pathogenic FGFR mutations or gene fusions (tumor histologies evaluated include but are not limited to cholangiocarcinoma [bile duct cancer], high- and low-grade glioma [a tumor type occurring in the brain or spinal cord], breast, pancreatic, squamous and non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal, endometrial, esophageal, salivary gland, ovarian, duodenal [cancer occurring in the first part of the small intestine], thyroid and cancer of unknown primary origin); an exploratory cohort of patients with other FGFR mutations; a cholangiocarcinoma expansion cohort; and a pediatric cohort of patients ages 6 to 17 with FGFR alterations.1
The primary endpoint of RAGNAR is IRC-assessed ORR. Key secondary endpoints include investigator-assessed ORR, DOR, DCR, clinical benefit rate, progression free survival, overall survival and incidence and severity of adverse events.
About BALVERSA®
BALVERSA® (erdafitinib) is a once-daily, oral FGFR kinase inhibitor that is approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of adults with locally advanced or mUC that has susceptible FGFR3 or FGFR2 genetic alterations and has progressed during or following at least one line of platinum-containing chemotherapy, including within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant platinum-containing chemotherapy. Patients are selected for therapy based on an FDA-approved companion diagnostic for BALVERSA®. Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of FGFR genetic alterations in urothelial cancer is available at: http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on tumor response rate. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.2,6
In addition to RAGNAR, BALVERSA® is being studied in clinical trials including the Phase 3 THOR (NCT03390504) study evaluating BALVERSA® versus standard of care, consisting of chemotherapy (docetaxel or vinflunine) or anti-PD-1 agent pembrolizumab, in participants with advanced urothelial cancer and selected FGFR aberrations with disease progression following one or two prior lines of therapy; and the randomized Phase 2 THOR-2 (NCT04172675) study examining BALVERSA® versus investigator choice of intravesical chemotherapy in participants who received Bacillus Calmette-Guérin and recurred with high risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.7,8
In 2008, Janssen Pharmaceutica NV entered into an exclusive worldwide license and collaboration agreement with Astex Pharmaceuticals to develop and commercialize BALVERSA®.

BALVERSA® IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Warnings and Precautions
Ocular Disorders – BALVERSA® can cause ocular disorders, including central serous retinopathy/retinal pigment epithelial detachment (CSR/RPED) resulting in visual field defect.
CSR/RPED was reported in 25% of patients treated with BALVERSA®, with a median time to first onset of 50 days. Grade 3 CSR/RPED, involving central field of vision, was reported in 3% of patients. CSR/RPED resolved in 13% of patients and was ongoing in 13% of patients at the study cutoff. CSR/RPED led to dose interruptions and reductions in 9% and 14% of patients, respectively, and 3% of patients discontinued BALVERSA®. Dry eye symptoms occurred in 28% of patients during treatment with BALVERSA® and were Grade 3 in 6% of patients. All patients should receive dry eye prophylaxis with ocular demulcents as needed.
Perform monthly ophthalmological examinations during the first 4 months of treatment and every 3 months afterwards, and urgently at any time for visual symptoms. Ophthalmological examination should include assessment of visual acuity, slit lamp examination, fundoscopy, and optical coherence tomography. Withhold BALVERSA® when CSR occurs and permanently discontinue if it does not resolve within 4 weeks or if Grade 4 in severity. For ocular adverse reactions, follow the dose modification guidelines [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].
Hyperphosphatemia and Soft Tissue Mineralization – BALVERSA® can cause hyperphosphatemia leading to soft tissue mineralization, cutaneous calcinosis, non-uremic calciphylaxis and vascular calcification. Increases in phosphate levels are a pharmacodynamic effect of BALVERSA® [see Pharmacodynamics (12.2)]. Hyperphosphatemia was reported as adverse reaction in 76% of patients treated with BALVERSA®. The median onset time for any grade event of hyperphosphatemia was 20 days (range: 8–116) after initiating BALVERSA®. Thirty-two percent of patients received phosphate binders during treatment with BALVERSA®. Cutaneous calcinosis, non-uremic calciphylaxis and vascular calcification have been observed in 0.3% of patients treated with BALVERSA®.
Monitor for hyperphosphatemia throughout treatment. In all patients, restrict phosphate intake to 600-800 mg daily. If serum phosphate is above 7.0 mg/dL, consider adding an oral phosphate binder until serum phosphate level returns to <5.5 mg/dL. Withhold, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue BALVERSA® based on duration and severity of hyperphosphatemia [see Dosage and Administration (2.3), Table 2: Dose Modifications for Adverse Reactions].
Embryo-fetal Toxicity – Based on the mechanism of action and findings in animal reproduction studies, BALVERSA® can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In a rat embryo-fetal toxicity study, erdafitinib was embryotoxic and teratogenic at exposures less than the human exposures at all doses studied. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with BALVERSA® and for one month after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with BALVERSA® and for one month after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)].
Most common adverse reactions including laboratory abnormalities ≥20%:
Phosphate increased (76%), stomatitis (56%), fatigue (54%), creatinine increased (52%), diarrhea (47%), dry mouth (45%), onycholysis (41%), alanine aminotransferase increased (41%), alkaline phosphatase increased (41%), sodium decreased (40%), decreased appetite (38%), albumin decreased (37%), dysgeusia (37%), hemoglobin decreased (35%), dry skin (34%), aspartate aminotransferase increased (30%), magnesium decreased (30%), dry eye (28%), alopecia (26%), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (26%), constipation (28%), phosphate decreased (24%), abdominal pain (23%), calcium increased (22%), nausea (21%), and musculoskeletal pain (20%). The most common Grade 3 or greater adverse reactions (>1%) were stomatitis (9%), nail dystrophy*, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (6%), paronychia (3%), nail disorder*, keratitis†, onycholysis* (10%), and hyperphosphatemia.
*Included within onycholysis. †Included within dry eye.
- An adverse reaction with a fatal outcome in 1% of patients was acute myocardial infarction.
- Serious adverse reactions occurred in 41% of patients, including eye disorders (10%).
- Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 13% of patients. The most frequent reasons for permanent discontinuation included eye disorders (6%).
- Dosage interruptions occurred in 68% of patients. The most frequent adverse reactions requiring dosage interruption included hyperphosphatemia (24%), stomatitis (17%), eye disorders (17%), and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (8%).
- Dose reductions occurred in 53% of patients. The most frequent adverse reactions for dose reductions included eye disorders (23%), stomatitis (15%), hyperphosphatemia (7%), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (7%), paronychia (7%), and nail dystrophy (6%).
Drug Interactions
- Moderate CYP2C9 or strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Consider alternative agents or monitor closely for adverse reactions. (7.1)
- Strong CYP2C9 or CYP3A4 inducers: Avoid concomitant use with BALVERSA®. (7.1)
- Moderate CYP2C9 or CYP3A4 inducers: Increase BALVERSA® dose up to 9 mg. (7.1)
- Serum phosphate level-altering agents: Avoid concomitant use with agents that can alter serum phosphate levels before the initial dose modification period. (2.3, 7.1)
- CYP3A4 substrates: Avoid concomitant use with sensitive CYP3A4 substrates with narrow therapeutic indices. (7.2)
- OCT2 substrates: Consider alternative agents or consider reducing the dose of OCT2 substrates based on tolerability. (7.2)
- P-gp substrates: Separate BALVERSA® administration by at least 6 hours before or after administration of P-gp substrates with narrow therapeutic indices. (7.2)
Use in Specific Populations
Lactation – Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions from erdafitinib in a breastfed child, advise lactating women not to breastfeed during treatment with BALVERSA® and for one month following the last dose.

Politics
2023: PDP charges gubernatorial candidates to return party to winning ways
Ahead of next year’s general election, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has charged the party’s gubernatorial candidates across the country to return the party to winning ways.
PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu who gave the charge, Tuesday when he presented certificates of return to the party’s elected, at Wadata Plaza, Abuja also commended candidates for their loyalty.
He acknowledged that the aspirants have contributed immensely to the growth and development party.
The former President of the Senate advised the governorship candidates to work together with those whom they contested the party’s tickets with to emerge victorious in their various states.
He expressed hope, that with the calibre of candidates, PDP will go back to its winning ways in 2023 as it was in 1999, 2003 and 2007 when it had more governors in most states.
He continued “Today we welcome our hard-working gubernatorial candidates to this historic occasion of presenting the certificate of return. This exercise is partly a recognition of your hard work. Many of you have contributed enormously to the growth and development of this party and I want to thank you for your loyalty to the party. I want to congratulate you on this achievement.
“But remember, many are called but few are chosen. A few of you have been chosen to be our flag bearer in the forthcoming elections. Everybody who contested with you is also chosen, you must carry every member of the aspirants’ community along because they contributed to mobilizing and growing our party. I want to sincerely thank you for the work you put in. And we hope you will continue to hard work because this is just the first step.
“We believe that the PDP will go back to its winning ways. When we started in 1999, we were able to produce 21 governors, we grew that number in 2003 to 28 are sustained it at 28 up to 2007.
“Unfortunately, we came through hard times and the number declined. Today we have only 13 governors, for a political party of this nature. That is not good enough. All of you must therefore work very hard to reconcile with whoever opposed you, work with everybody carry everybody along, So that at the end of the day by next year. We should be able to come back to at least 25 governors.
“On behalf of the National Working Committee and the rest of the party nationwide and in the diaspora, I want to promise you all our support, whenever we can, we will give you the necessary support. We hope and pray for you that by this time next year. You will all be referred to as the incoming governor of your respective states.”
On his part, PDP 2023 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, described the PDP as the party that Nigerians are waiting for.
Atiku said “This event is one of those events that clearly shows that our party is the party that Nigerians are waiting for. Therefore, let me use this opportunity to congratulate each gubernatorial representing our party in the forthcoming general elections.
“I want to assure all of you that we will work together as a team and make sure you are all brought back elected as governors in your respective states, and I will ensure we work together as a team in every state of this country, to enthrone a PDP government.
Reacting on behalf of the candidates, the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed thanked the party leadership for enabling credible primaries across States.
He assured the presidential candidate of the party of total support among party members in various states to ensure that he becomes the next Nigerian president.
The governor continued “On behalf of myself and all the candidates of the PDP for the forthcoming election in 2023, we wish to express our deepest appreciation to our dear party and leaders. This moment is a moment of happiness, a moment of accomplishment because we all toiled hard for this.
“Our dear presidential candidate, we want to assure you that the party has gone through all the due diligence to make sure you emerge as candidates and we have seen the internal democracy that had been conducted to ensure peace in the party.
“Mr President, we assure you that there will be no problem in all the states of the Federation and we are going to work with you to make sure you emerge as the president of Nigeria. We assure you there will be synergy. There will be cooperation. And we are going to work assiduously to make sure that our party emerge victorious at the various levels with the party having confidence in us”.
Some of the governorship candidates who attended the certificates’ presentation include, Mohammed Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Ladi Adebutu (Ogun), Kefas Agbo (Taraba), Peter Mba (Enugu) and David Ombugadu (Nasarawa), all will be contesting for the first time.
Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, Ahmad Fintiri of Adamawa State and Seyi Makinde of Oyo State are some of the governors seeking a second term in office. | https://dailypost.ng/2022/06/07/2023-pdp-charges-gubernatorial-candidates-to-return-party-to-winning-ways/ | 2022-06-07T15:49:10Z | https://dailypost.ng/2022/06/07/2023-pdp-charges-gubernatorial-candidates-to-return-party-to-winning-ways/ | true | 1 |

Meesho, an e-commerce company, has issued a legal notice to certain social media influencers and those contacting said influencers who have allegedly orchestrated a smear campaign against the company.
The startup said that on June 2, 2022, Twitter user Ravisutanjani Kumar exposed a concerted campaign against Meesho wherein several influencers put out a series of tweets tagging the company’s investors, with an aim to allegedly malign the company’s reputation by spreading falsehood and lies. “Following the exposé, some influencers acknowledged that said tweets were paid promotions while others deleted their posts.” Meesho added.
Kumar tweeted, “Influencer marketing is the worst thing that has happened on Social Media. Folks are getting paid thousands to defame a startup, tagging the company’s investors, fake likes and retweets on tweets from paid accounts.”
Not the first time
Meesho further said that this is not the first time that it has been targeted by those with vested interests looking to defame the company. Twitter users Udita Pal and Aashima Arora voluntarily came forward to share instances from earlier this year where they were approached to put out negative tweets about the company in lieu of monetary benefits.
However, Pal and Arora refused to participate. Pal in her tweet said, “was offered a huge amount of money to post this exact thing which I refused and later the person took down the WhatsApp messages.”
Meesho said it will continue to monitor the situation and consider strict legal recourse against those spreading misinformation and lies about the company.
Analysts say that coordinated attacks on social media have occurred in the recent past. During the Covid-19 outbreak , campaigns were used to spread misinformation about the disease and bot attacks like these are also carried out in the election seasons to misinform or hide facts from the public. This method is now being used against companies as well.

Apple on Monday provided a peek at upcoming tweaks to the software that powers more than 1 billion iPhones and rolled out two laptops that will be the first available with the next generation of a company-designed microprocessor.
As usual, Apple spent most of the opening day of its annual developers conference touting the next versions of software for the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac computers instead of the sleek devices that established it as a technology trendsetter and the world’s most valuable company.
The iPhone’s next operating system, called iOS 16, will revamp the look of the device’s lock screen and make make mostly minor improvements to the current software. The software updates have become increasingly important in recent years as iPhone owners have started to hold to their existing devices for longer periods of time than they once did.
One of iOS 16’se most noticeable differences will occur on the iPhone lock screen. The new software, which will be released this fall as a free download, will allow users to anchor their favorite apps as small widgets on the lock screen.
The new software also will enable the lock screen to display live notifications, such the status of a Uber ride on its way to pick up a passenger. Other authorized notifications will come in from the bottom of the screen instead of the current distribution from the top in an effort to avoid clutter on the display.
The iPhone’s messaging system will be revamped so texts can be edited after they are sent or even rescinded in their entirety if the sender has a change of heart. Those options will only be available when both users are using Apple’s messaging app for texting.
The Apple Pay service that’s part of the iPhone’s digital wallet is adding a new financing feature likely to be popular as soaring inflation rates squeeze more household budgets. The option will allow consumers to stagger the cost of any purchase made through Apple Pay over four installments completed within a six-week period with no additional fees. Similar financing is already offered through digital services such as Affirm, whose stock price sank by more than 5% Monday after the news about Apple Pay came out.
Several of the new features for Apple’s Macs and iPads are designed to make it easier to sync with the iPhone for things like making video calls. Other tools will enable more apps to run side by side to perform multiple tasks on the same screen.
Helping people toggle from one Apple device to another is one of the main reasons that the company began making Macs that run on the same kind of chips that power the iPhone and iPad in late 2020.
Now Apple in putting the next generation of its Mac chip in it two most popular laptops, the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, which the company said will be available in stores at some point next month. The MacBook Air will sell for $1,200 and the MacBook Pro will sell for $1,300.
The event was held at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, California.

SEATTLE (AP)Washington baseball coach Lindsay Meggs announced his retirement Monday after leading the Huskies for 13 years and to their only College World Series appearance.
The 59-year-old Meggs won 932 games in 29 years as a head coach. He won 317 games and made three NCAA Tournament appearances in 13 seasons at Washington.
”This was a really difficult decision for me and for my family,” Meggs said, ”but we have been thinking about this for a while, and we just feel like now is the right time to retire.”
The Huskies ended the regular season on a 12-game win streak but lost two straight in the Pac-12 Tournament to finish 30-26.
Meggs led the program to NCAA regionals in 2014 and 2016 and then to unprecedented heights in 2018. The Huskies swept through their regional in Conway, South Carolina and won a three-game super regional at Cal State Fullerton to earn their first trip to the CWS, where they went 0-2.
Meggs was instrumental in the development of Husky Ballpark, which opened in 2014, and the construction of an indoor practice and hitting facility.
Meggs coached at Chico State from 1994-2006 and won Division II national titles in 1997 and 1999. He coached Indiana State three seasons before he took the Washington job.

David Marshall: New Hibernian goalkeeper retires from Scotland duty
Last updated on .From the section Scotland
Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall has announced his retirement from international football despite being part of Steve Clarke's current squad.
The 37-year-old, who has been capped 47 times, was one of four goalkeepers named for the World Cup play-offs and three Nations League fixtures.
But he has decided to end his Scotland career ahead of Wednesday's visit by Armenia in Nations League Group B1.
His penalty save in Serbia famously sealed Scotland's Euro 2020 spot.
Marshall signed a two-year contract with Hibernian last month.
- Clarke unsure of future beyond 2024
- Porterfield and Republic warning for Scots
- Scotland 'let very good opportunity go' - Naismith
- Fit-again Patterson uses frustration as motivation
- Who would you pick for Scots against Armenia?
The former Celtic goalkeeper became a Scotland hero due to his shootout heroics in November 2020.
With Scotland and Serbia going to spot kicks in Belgrade to decide who would clinch a place at the European Championship finals, Marshall's save to deny Aleksandar Mitrovic ended the Tartan Army's 23-year wait for a major tournament.
He had signed a six-month deal with Queens Park Rangers in January after losing his place with Championship rivals Derby County, only for his domestic season to be ended by injury in March.
The former Celtic, Norwich City, Cardiff City, Hull City and Wigan Athletic goalkeeper made his full international debut on 18 August 2004 in a friendly against Hungary.
He had a long-standing rivalry with Craig Gordon and Allan McGregor. | https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/61723925 | 2022-06-07T15:56:08Z | https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/61723925 | true | 2 |

South African miner Harmony Gold on Tuesday reported that a worker died on Monday in an engineering-related accident at its Kusasalethu mine, 90 km (55.92 miles) west of Johannesburg. "Our heartfelt condolences go out to those impacted by this loss of life. We are deeply saddened and very concerned by the frequency of incidents, particularly at this mine – it is unacceptable," Harmony Chief Executive Peter Steenkamp said in a statement.
Last month four workers died in a maintenance-related accident at Kusasalethu mine..

Ex Liverpool Star Backs Darwin Nunez to Choose Anfield Over Manchester United
A former Liverpool star has backed Benfica's Darwin Nunez to choose Anfield over Manchester United, if he has a choice, claiming Liverpool have more "Pulling power".
The striker has impressed at his club this season - scoring 34 goals in 41 games last season, including six goals in 10 in the Champions League.
His form has resulted in a number if big clubs being interested, with The Red Devils even reported to have put a bid in for the player earlier today.
An ex full-back for the Merseyside team, Glen Johnson, was speaking on BettingOdds: “You’d think Núñez would head to Anfield if it’s between Liverpool and Manchester United."
"As we know, Manchester United don’t have the same pulling power they once did. There was a time when Manchester United came calling then the answer was ‘yes’."
"That’s not the case at the moment, so if Liverpool and Manchester United are going head to head for him then I’m sure he’d pick Liverpool over United."
United and Newcastle are said to have bid for the player according to the earlier mentioned report, but it is unclear what fee was offered.
“If Liverpool are to pay the £100 million that Benfica supposedly want for him, then that’s against their structure and the way they do business, but that’s the way the game is going."
"If they don’t start opening up to that, then others will capitalise on that."
He finished: "I do like the way Liverpool do their business, but they need to be a bit flexible with it because the other big guns will be willing to pay it, whether it’s against their protocols or not.”

Baz Luhrmann has revealed why Harry Styles wasn’t cast in his Elvis Presley biopic and, honestly, it makes total sense.
The filmmaker reckons the Grammy Award winning musician is just too much of an ‘icon’ to play Presley, which is surely the nicest job rejection you could possibly get.
As It Was hitmaker Styles went for the lead role in Luhrmann’s biopic of The King, but ultimately lost out to Austin Butler.
Although the 59-year-old director would happily work with the former One Direction singer on a different project, he felt he was too recognisable for the musical.
Speaking on Australian Radio show Fitzy and Wippa, he said: ‘I don’t audition. I do these really rich workshops. I’ll talk about Harry only because Harry said it himself just recently.
‘Harry is really talented actor. I would work on something with him. The real issue with Harry is, he’s Harry Styles. He’s already an icon.’
The Australian continued: ‘I think Harry and I came to a place, genuinely I mean, he was just desperate to put the suit on and explore.
‘He’s such a great spirit and I have nothing but great things to say about Harry Styles.’
Luhrmann believes Butler was ‘born’ to play the Jailhouse Rock singer – who died in 1977 – because he had so many connections to the musician.
Luhrmann explained: ‘The thing about Austin was that, he will tell you himself, I didn’t pick him it’s as if he was drawn like the role drew them in because he was almost born to play it.
‘You know, we can talk about it now, he like loses his mom at the same age that Elvis did. He sends a video to me with this thing and he just happened, like two years non stop living and breathing as Elvis.’
Butler eventually got so tied into the role, he’s now going through a ‘deprogramming thing’ to get back to his true self.
Luhrmann claimed it’s ‘been a long time since he’s known who he was’, with fans online pointing out how he’s still talking with Presley’s accent.
Watermelon Sugar singer Styles previously admitted he ‘almost’ didn’t want to audition for the biopic – titled Elvis – because he was always such a big fan of the singer.
He referred to the Can’t Help Falling in Love musician as ‘an icon for me growing up’ and said there’s something ‘almost sacred about him.’
‘It was almost like I didn’t want to touch him. Then I ended up getting into [his life] a bit and I wasn’t disappointed.’
He may have missed out on the Elvis role, but Styles isn’t short of movie offers, as he’s set to take centre screen in Don’t Worry Darling later this year, starring opposite Florence Pugh with the thriller directed by his girlfriend Olivia Wilde.
As if that wasn’t enough, the pop star will also appear in LGBTQ+ drama My Policeman this autumn, a role for which he’s already been tipped for an Oscar.
Who knows, maybe there’ll be a Harry Styles biopic one day?
Elvis hits cinemas on June 24.

Watch: Rutgers football recruit Abram Wright clocks a 4.58 time in the 40 over the weekend
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Rutgers Scarlet KnightsLiveTodayTomorrowvs--|
Abram Wright will be at Rutgers football this weekend for an official visit, just as his recruitment is starting to pick up.
Wright, at 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds from Fleming Island (Orange Park, FL) just picked up an offer from Duke on June 1. And this past weekend, Wright ran a blistering 4.58 time in the 40 at the Wake Forest camp.
Last season, Wright had 76 total tackles and seven sacks in 11 games. This production certainly backs up his recently timed 40.
Duke and Rutgers remain his only Power Five at the present time. But that clocked 40-time run by the class of 2023 linebacker is certainly going to open some eyes.
And it is certainly an imperfect comparison but at the NFL combine in March, Utah linebacker Devin Lloyd ran a 4.66 time in the 40.

It is an imperfect comparison as both players have more bulk and muscle mass than Wright, but it certainly gives an indication of what his speed at his current size can bring to a program.

U.S. Treasury says all buying of Russian debt and equity banned under sanctions
- Country:
- United States
The U.S. Treasury Department has published advice to U.S. money managers that buying any Russian debt or stocks belonging to Russian firms is banned under Washington's sanctions on Moscow, further tightening curbs on the country following its invasion of Ukraine. "Consistent with our goal to deny Russia the financial resources it needs to continue its brutal war against Ukraine, Treasury has made clear that U.S. persons are prohibited from making new investments in the success of Russia, including through purchases on the secondary market," a Treasury spokesperson said.
The Treasury in guidance published on Monday said executive orders imposing sanctions on Russia "prohibit U.S. persons from purchasing both new and existing debt and equity securities issued by an entity in the Russian Federation."

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.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/recommended/best-hiking-boots-women-walking-uk-2022-3084344 | 2022-06-07T16:06:18Z | https://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/recommended/best-hiking-boots-women-walking-uk-2022-3084344 | false | 21 |

A woman looking for her dog that was driven off in a stolen car was met by "unjustifiable" violence. the attack on her while out searching for her pet left her with a lasting disability.
Her boyfriend's parked Nissan X-Trail had that day been stolen in Hugglescote, near Coalville - with their black and ginger pet lurcher, Duke, inside. The couple made inquiries with an appeal on social media the same afternoon, Wednesday December 8, where it was suggested the vehicle may be at a caravan park in Copt Oak Road, Markfield.
Matthew Rowcliffe, prosecuting today at Leicester Crown Court, said the victim borrowed his mother's Vauxhall to drive to the Whitegate Stables site, with his partner and her brother - where they located his purple Nissan. But there was no sign of Duke.
In response to shouts and pleas for the return of the dog, 18-year-old Michael McDonagh emerged from a nearby chalet carrying a fearsome-looking weapon. It was described in court as a two foot long hooked blade on a handle "like an old farming tool used for felling."
The defendant was aggressively yelling: "I'm a McDonagh. Do you know who I am?"
He struck the Nissan owner's girlfriend, who is in her 30s, on the head and left arm, causing severe lacerations, down to the bone and severing muscle and nerves on the limb that required "multiple surgeries." The three terrified visitors escaped in the white Vauxhall that, meanwhile, sustained "considerable damage" caused by other residents at the site.
They sought help at a BP garage on the A50 Shaw Lane in Markfield, as the gravely injured woman was bleeding extensively. The police arrived to administer emergency treatment, before she was taken to Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre.
In a personal impact statement, the victim described having 15 stitches to her scalp wound and multiple sutures to her arm, that was in a cast for three months. Despite extensive physiotherapy, she is unable to clench her left fist, hold implements or do hobbies, such as gardening.
Her thumb is "completely numb with no feeling of hot or cold" and it has affected her "daily life and ability to work". She was too frightened to leave home for several months and still has to be accompanied, due to being in constant fear.
McDonagh was detained by police at Birkenhead on The Wirral the day after the attack, trying to board a ferry to Belfast. He originally denied wounding, with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and only changed his plea to admit guilt after a jury was sworn in at the start of a trial - that was then halted.
Ciara McElvogue, mitigating before sentence, said McDonagh played no part in the theft of the Nissan X-Trail or the dog. She said he had no previous convictions and "lacked maturity" due to his young age.
The barrister added: "He couldn't understand why three individuals were arriving at the site, starting to cause bother. His intention was to protect his grandmother and aunt, who have brought him up since the death of this mother when he was three-years-old.
"He made an ill-considered decision to arm himself with this weapon. He used it, causing substantial injuries and regrets doing so.
"Whilst the vehicle (stolen Nissan) was there, it's an extremely large site, with 300 caravans and chalets. You will be familiar with the culture of what happens at travelling sites and how people sometimes react to strangers arriving - he was raised in a certain way on the travellers' site.
The Nissan X-Trail was later found abandoned in Priory Lane, Ulverscroft. Duke was found safe in Loughborough three days after the incident.
Sentencing, Recorder Cameron Crowe told McDonagh: "You chose to voluntarily attack someone who was already, indirectly, a victim of crime. You chose to use a highly dangerous weapon, without justification, to cause grave and permanent injuries that will remain with her for life.
"It must have been terrifying. You swung the weapon, of some scale, at least twice, causing severe injuries, penetrating through to the bone of the skull and caused a 15 centimetre laceration to the victim's arm, causing not only significant scarring, but she lacks full movement in her arm and it impacts on her daily life.
"I'm told she's never going to fully recover. She's also now fearful and reclusive, she's on medication for the ongoing psychological impact, because of what you did."
McDonagh was sentenced to an eight year and three month detention sentence, of which he was told to expect to serve two thirds.
He was placed on an indefinite restraining order, banning any future contact with the victim, her brother and partner.
Afterwards, officer in the case, Detective Constable James Clayton, of the force's complex investigation team, said: "This was a completely unprovoked attack. The victim and her partner were doing whatever they could to get their dog back, but were confronted by McDonagh - a dangerous and violent individual.
"What happened that evening has had a significant impact on the victim and she's still re-living her ordeal. I can only hope today's outcome - and the fact McDonagh is now behind bars - will provide a degree of closure." | https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-news/traveller-teens-brutal-machete-axe-7176781 | 2022-06-07T16:09:37Z | https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-news/traveller-teens-brutal-machete-axe-7176781 | true | 2 |
LOS ANGELES , June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LaTerra Development, a Los Angeles-based developer, has established a self-storage development platform and formed a joint venture with a fund managed by Macquarie Asset Management to deploy up to $300 million in self-storage developments initially concentrated in Los Angeles and other Southern California markets.
"Self-storage is complementary to our core apartment development business," said Chris Tourtellotte, Managing Director for LaTerra Development, one of the largest multifamily developers in the Los Angeles Metro Area with approximately 3,000 apartments currently in the pipeline.
"Self-storage is part of the neighborhood ecosystem and supports housing density and small businesses, a primary goal for LaTerra," Tourtellotte adds.
LaTerra plans to develop ground-up self-storage facilities. The company is underway with its first three projects: 55,000 square feet in Mar Vista, CA; 63,000 square feet in Van Nuys, CA; and 77,000 square feet in the North Hollywood/Burbank, CA area. The firm is actively seeking other sites, according to Tourtellotte.
"We are delighted to be involved in this platform with one of the leading developers in Southern California with deep market expertise and off market deal sourcing capabilities," said Eric Wurtzebach, Senior Managing Director and Head of Real Estate, The Americas, Macquarie Asset Management. "We believe this represents a stable, long-term investment opportunity with a high-quality partner, with the potential to deploy further capital beyond our initial commitment."
LaTerra hired John Wilson as a Vice President of Asset Management as its first dedicated storage professional. Wilson was previously at Storage West for 12 years and Public Storage for 13 years. LaTerra will continue to build a market-leading self storage team.
"Self-storage continues to demonstrate its resiliency across the cycle," notes Tourtellotte. "The pandemic accelerated demand as people relocated and cleared rooms to make way for home offices while small businesses stored inventory, excess furnishings and other items. Los Angeles has the lowest existing supply of self-storage per capita of almost any city in the United States. We think it's an ideal time to launch this new platform."
LaTerra is a market leading, fully integrated real estate investment and development company headquartered in Los Angeles, CA
LaTerra and its general contractor affiliate, LT Building Corp., are developing and constructing mixed use projects, with more than 3,000 multifamily units and over 1,000,000 square feet of premium commercial space. The estimated value of LaTerra's current projects at completion exceeds $3 billion.
LaTerra favors designs incorporating green building practices and sustainable materials by continuously seeking and implementing the latest in available technologies - cleaner and more efficient buildings, better sound attenuation, smart homes and services.
LaTerra's mission is to create innovative designs infusing new energy and capital into neighborhood communities while remaining consistent with local values. This mission is engrained in and reflected by the company's daily operating culture. By prioritizing the enrichment of people and relationships, LaTerra produces winning results for its residents, tenants, employees and investors.

(The Hill) — The White House is quietly preparing for a Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, a consequential decision expected to come this month that will create immediate pressure to respond and take action.
Members of the administration have held listening sessions with state officials, advocacy groups and other stakeholders on abortion rights regarding the legal barriers to abortion already in place in certain states.
Individuals who participated in those meetings told The Hill they are encouraged by the White House’s attention on the issue but are waiting for concrete details about how it will answer the expected decision.
“I believe that we are at least setting the stage to fight a bigger fight that’s going to happen,” said Marsha Jones, executive director of The Afiya Center, an organization devoted to the health of Black women and girls in Texas. “The White House, at least they are giving the perception that they are willing to fight this fight with us.”
“I do need to see something tangible,” added Jones, who participated in a May 21 meeting with Gender Policy Council Executive Director Jennifer Klein and Vice President Harris’s domestic policy adviser Rohini Kosoglu. “We’re all just sitting on pins and needles.”
Publicly, President Joe Biden has been largely mum on the issue of abortion in the weeks since he expressed outrage at the Supreme Court draft ruling nixing Roe, which leaked at the start of May.
Harris, meanwhile, has become one of the administration’s leading voices on the subject, holding a roundtable on Monday with faith leaders on abortion rights in Los Angeles and releasing a video on social media last week arguing that other rights are at risk if the court overturns the landmark abortion ruling.
Administration officials have been quiet about steps they are weighing in response to the ruling, and the White House is not expected to announce any specific plans until after it comes down.
“Protecting Americans’ constitutional right to make personal decisions about their own bodies and lives is a top priority for the President, and as he has said, the Administration will be ready when any ruling is issued,” said White House spokesperson Alexandra LaManna.
Since the draft decision leaked, White House officials have met with advocates from medical organizations, faith leaders and businesses, as well as elected officials from states that have moved ahead with restrictive abortion laws, such as Texas and Oklahoma, and states that have passed measures to protect abortion rights, including Connecticut and Maryland.
The focus on state and local leaders underscores that without action by Congress, the steps the Biden administration can take are limited and likely to be subject to Republican-led legal challenges.
The leaked draft ruling suggesting the high court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, a landmark 1973 decision found the Constitution protected a woman’s right to have an abortion, sent shock waves through Washington last month and engendered a new sense of urgency in the West Wing.
Advocates for abortion access who have met with the administration told The Hill that the White House has been interested to hear about needs on the ground while it is deciding how to respond.
“They wanted us to let them know how the White House can help in our advocacy and in our battles in our states,” said North Carolina state Rep. Julie von Haefen (D), who along with other state lawmakers participated in a meeting with Klein and White House intergovernmental affairs director Julie Chavez Rodriguez on Friday.
Von Haefen said that questions from White House officials included ones about access to abortion medication and any state bills prohibiting expenses for travel to receive an abortion.
“They’re really curious about what’s on the ground, and I know they’re weighing all of their options,” added Yvonne Hsu, chief policy and government affairs officer of the National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum.
She pointed to areas the White House can focus on immediately to lessen the burden on women that were discussed in the May 21 meeting, including addressing the lack of access to information in languages other than English, squashing disinformation and curtailing fear in immigrant communities.
“What I am thankful to this White House for is not only calling those meetings, but calling them actually to listen, listen to what our concerns were across states,” said Kelly Davis, executive director of New Voices for Reproductive Justice.
She said she expressed a “series of concerns,” including that, compared to other groups, “Black pregnant people are going to experience the majority of health, finance and self-determination consequences.”
Still, other crises have seemed to take precedence at the White House in recent weeks, such as the string of mass shootings and the subsequently renewed push for gun control legislation, leaving some to worry that the abortion fight has taken a back seat.
“I think the moment has kind of passed and it isn’t on the front burner now as far as I can tell. The administration has got consumed with Ukraine, firearms and inflation,” said Lawrence Gostin, a public health law professor at Georgetown University.
“It’s not that they don’t want to do anything, it’s just that they just don’t think there’s anything immediate and powerful that they can do under the law,” he said.
In the immediate wake of the leaked draft opinion, Biden, who is a devout Catholic, used the word “abortion,” which marked a shift from not publicly speaking the word out loud during his presidency. Advocates for abortion access are hopeful that Biden leaning into the issue could mean he is more bullish when a ruling is out.
“I would love to see the White House take the following steps in the coming months, including that linguistically they have managed to actually speak in alignment with movements that talk about the word abortion,” Davis said.
With limited action available now, Democrats are also looking to make abortion an issue on the campaign trail ahead of the looming midterm elections, hoping that the fight will help energize members of the base and bring in swing voters.
Biden has called for voters to mobilize and elect more pro-abortion rights lawmakers to the state and federal levels, a call he reiterated when a vote failed in the 50-50 Senate last month on legislation that would have protected various abortion procedures. Harris has also echoed that message.
The White House has sought to paint Republicans as extreme for enacting abortion restrictions at the state level and opposing the Women’s Health Protection Act, a law that would codify federal abortion rights.
“The Biden-Harris Administration is continuing to speak out as extremist Republican leaders are weaponizing the use of the law in states across the country to punish and control women,” a White House official said. | https://kdvr.com/news/nationalworld-news/white-house-quietly-braces-for-death-of-roe-v-wade/ | 2022-06-07T16:12:07Z | https://kdvr.com/news/nationalworld-news/white-house-quietly-braces-for-death-of-roe-v-wade/ | false | 24 |
StorPool Helps Namecheap Deliver Flawless User Experience to its Customers
SOFIA, Bulgaria, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- StorPool Storage today announced that Namecheap, the world's second-largest domain retailer and global hosting provider, selected its software-defined storage solution as part of a new hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) platform that increases the speed and reliability of Namecheap's services to better retain and attract customers.
With more than 13 million domains managed and a robust roster of services, Namecheap is a trusted partner for businesses worldwide. The company's legacy architecture consisted of a fleet of bare-metal servers with local storage, which occasionally resulted in "noisy neighbor" issues where some users' workloads consumed too much server resources. This led to the potential of service disruptions for other users and additional problems like single points of failure and downtimes during server upgrades.
Wanting to build a next-generation hosting service with improved availability and reliability, Namecheap chose to go with an HCI deployment with StorPool's software running together with compute workloads on Supermicro servers with 64-core AMD EPYC™ 7742 processors and NVMe SSDs.
"Our highest priority is keeping our customers' data safe and secure," said Max Semenyaka, Technical Operations Manager at Namecheap. "That is why we chose the StorPool solution, based on AMD processors, providing high performance combined with impressive fault tolerance and data availability rates."
The new StorPool-powered solution provides a significant boost in performance and accomplishes positive results in key metrics Namecheap was looking for. The solution delivers exceptional IOPS at low latency while consuming very few CPU cores and memory, enabling effective utilization of the hardware resources.
The new cloud infrastructure delivers the reliability and availability crucial for Namecheap to retain its customers and attract new users. StorPool allows Namecheap to perform planned hardware maintenance with no downtime, speeds up new virtual machine deployments, and ensures maximum performance at scale. Additionally, StorPool's operations team provides timely assistance for all aspects of the storage layer at Namecheap so that its technical team no longer has to maintain the storage system.
"We are pleased that one of the world's largest hosting providers chose us to help them achieve fast and reliable primary storage deployed concurrently with shared hosting workloads," said Boyan Ivanov, CEO and co-founder of StorPool Storage. "Namecheap's decision to move to an advanced HCI architecture based on AMD EPYC™ processors and StorPool's agile storage platform enabled them to achieve a plethora of benefits for their customers."

A Virginia man attacked an elderly woman in her Pennsylvania home during a burglary— only to be spotted by a neighbor at a nearby gas station, according to a release by the police.
West Lampeter Township police were called to a report of a woman "in distress" at a home in the 2800 block of Willow Street Pike around 5:20 a.m. on Monday, June 6, as stated in a release by the department.
Upon arrival, the 72-year-old woman who lived in the home, told police that a man entered her residence through an unlocked window and "physically forced her on the floor and pushed her head on the floor repeatedly," police say.
A neighbor heard the commotion and intervened— so the man fled the scene traveling north on Willow Street Pike in a black Acura sedan, the release details.
The same neighbor spot the man's Acura at the Turkey Hill at 863 Village Road, in Lancaster, according to the release.
Police soon went to the Turkey Hill, found the vehicle and arrested the suspect, later identified as Daniel Lorenzo Crews, 41-years-old, of Midlothian, Virginia, the release details.
Crews has been charged with Burglary, Aggravated Assault, DUI, and Terroristic Threats, court records show.
Crews has been held in the Lancaster County Prison in lieu of $500,000 in bail and his preliminary hearing has been scheduled before Magisterial District Judge William E. Benner Jr. at 1:30 p.m. on June 17, according to his court docket.

DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. (XRAY) Securities Fraud Class Action:
The litigation focuses on DENTSPLY's assurances that its financial statements fairly presented in all material respects the financial condition of the company.
The complaint alleges Defendants orchestrated a scheme to inflate DENTSPLY's revenues and earnings by manipulating its accounting for a distributor rebate program so that senior executives became eligible to receive significant cash and stock-based compensation.
Investors began to learn the truth on Apr. 19, 2022, when DENTSPLY announced that it terminated CEO Donald M. Casey Jr. and that he ceased to serve on the company's Board of Directors, both effective immediately.
Then, on May 10, 2022, DENTSPLY announced that, following reports from several whistleblowers, its Audit Committee: (1) had commenced an internal investigation into the company's use of incentives to sell products to distributors during the third and fourth quarter of 2021 and whether those incentives were appropriately accounted for; and, (2) was also investigating allegations that certain former and current senior executives directed the company's use of these incentives and other actions to achieve executive compensation targets in 2021.
These events drove the price of DENTSPLY shares sharply lower.
"We're focused on investors' losses and proving DENTSPLY cooked its books," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

SALEM, Mass. (AP) — In the wiggle of a nose, a man covered the “Bewitched” statue in Salem, Massachusetts with red paint, police said.
Witnesses called police at about 5 p.m. Monday to report someone spray painting the bronze statue, Capt. John Burke said Tuesday. The statue depicts actor Elizabeth Montgomery — as lead character Samantha Stephens in the 1960s sitcom — sitting on a broomstick in front of a crescent moon.
An officer in the area spotted a man fitting witness descriptions of the vandal and after a brief chase arrested a 32-year-old city resident on charges of defacing property, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, Burke said.
His motivation remains unclear.
“In between meetings, was disappointed to hear the Bewitched Samantha statute downtown was vandalized,” Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll tweeted Monday night. “I’m grateful to (Salem police) for their quick work apprehending the individual responsible. We’ll work to get the statue cleaned, as fast as a twitch of Samantha’s nose.”
Red paint on the upper half of the statue has already been cleaned off, Burke said.
The statue was erected in the city famous for the 1692 witch trials in 2005, despite protests from some who said it trivializes the tragedy of the trials. | https://www.ksnt.com/page-2/bewitched-statue-in-salem-vandalized-with-red-paint/ | 2022-06-07T16:18:40Z | https://www.ksnt.com/page-2/bewitched-statue-in-salem-vandalized-with-red-paint/ | true | 49 |
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Tuesday is Election Day, the day that candidates and voters alike have been waiting for. The people of Kern County have their first say in who will represent them in national, state and local offices.

To vote in person, voters must bring their mail-in ballots and surrender them at the polling place so officials can protect against voters casting two ballots.

CINCINNATI, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- KNXV, a Phoenix television station owned by The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ: SSP), has won a Peabody Award in the news category for its original investigative reporting that has since led to significant changes in the local Phoenix justice system and police department.
Through "Politically Charged," a series of 60 reports and an hourlong investigative special, KNXV exposed tactics by the Phoenix justice system to target and frame protestors exercising their First Amendment rights following George Floyd's murder in May 2020. KNXV reporter Dave Biscobing and the ABC15 Investigators spent a year probing the mass-arrest of more than 100 demonstrators and the attempts by the Phoenix Police Department and the Maricopa County Attorney's office to distort facts to grand juries to obtain felony charges against them.
The team's reporting led to the dismissal of every felony protest arrest in the county – 39 in total. Locally, officers and prosecutors have been reassigned – some are under criminal investigation – high-level county attorney's office officials resigned, the police chief was suspended, and multiple class-action lawsuits have been filed. The Phoenix police chief also recently announced her retirement after the team aired additional reporting about the scandal this spring.
"Politically Charged" has triggered a U.S. Department of Justice pattern-or-practice investigation to examine the history of policing policies in Phoenix. Further, when the city of Phoenix tried to subpoena KNXV's raw materials for its police misconduct stories, the newsroom fought back and won in federal court.
The Peabody Awards honor work across the categories of entertainment, documentary, news, podcast/radio, arts, children's and youth, public service and multimedia programming. Chosen unanimously by a board of jurors, annual Peabody winners are a collection of 30 stories that powerfully reflect the pressing social issues and the vibrant emerging voices of our day.
"This is high-impact local journalism at its finest," said Jelani Cobb, dean of the Columbia University School of Journalism, in an announcement presentation on Monday. "For shedding light on unfathomable abuses of power, 'Politically Charged' wins a Peabody Award."
"The Peabody jury represents the fourth national journalism award organization to recognize 'Politically Charged' this year," Local Media President Brian Lawlor said. "This speaks volumes about both the caliber of the station's reporting and the impact it has had in the community it serves. This investigation continues to serve as a poignant reminder of the role local journalism plays in being a watchdog for our communities."
"Politically Charged" also was recently honored with a U.S. Hillman Prize, George Polk Award and an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award, along with KNXV's "Full Disclosure" series, which exposed widespread and systemic problems with Arizona's so-called "Brady" lists of police officers with documented behavioral problems.

(The Hill) — The White House is quietly preparing for a Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, a consequential decision expected to come this month that will create immediate pressure to respond and take action.
Members of the administration have held listening sessions with state officials, advocacy groups and other stakeholders on abortion rights regarding the legal barriers to abortion already in place in certain states.
Individuals who participated in those meetings told The Hill they are encouraged by the White House’s attention on the issue but are waiting for concrete details about how it will answer the expected decision.
“I believe that we are at least setting the stage to fight a bigger fight that’s going to happen,” said Marsha Jones, executive director of The Afiya Center, an organization devoted to the health of Black women and girls in Texas. “The White House, at least they are giving the perception that they are willing to fight this fight with us.”
“I do need to see something tangible,” added Jones, who participated in a May 21 meeting with Gender Policy Council Executive Director Jennifer Klein and Vice President Harris’s domestic policy adviser Rohini Kosoglu. “We’re all just sitting on pins and needles.”
Publicly, President Joe Biden has been largely mum on the issue of abortion in the weeks since he expressed outrage at the Supreme Court draft ruling nixing Roe, which leaked at the start of May.
Harris, meanwhile, has become one of the administration’s leading voices on the subject, holding a roundtable on Monday with faith leaders on abortion rights in Los Angeles and releasing a video on social media last week arguing that other rights are at risk if the court overturns the landmark abortion ruling.
Administration officials have been quiet about steps they are weighing in response to the ruling, and the White House is not expected to announce any specific plans until after it comes down.
“Protecting Americans’ constitutional right to make personal decisions about their own bodies and lives is a top priority for the President, and as he has said, the Administration will be ready when any ruling is issued,” said White House spokesperson Alexandra LaManna.
Since the draft decision leaked, White House officials have met with advocates from medical organizations, faith leaders and businesses, as well as elected officials from states that have moved ahead with restrictive abortion laws, such as Texas and Oklahoma, and states that have passed measures to protect abortion rights, including Connecticut and Maryland.
The focus on state and local leaders underscores that without action by Congress, the steps the Biden administration can take are limited and likely to be subject to Republican-led legal challenges.
The leaked draft ruling suggesting the high court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, a landmark 1973 decision found the Constitution protected a woman’s right to have an abortion, sent shock waves through Washington last month and engendered a new sense of urgency in the West Wing.
Advocates for abortion access who have met with the administration told The Hill that the White House has been interested to hear about needs on the ground while it is deciding how to respond.
“They wanted us to let them know how the White House can help in our advocacy and in our battles in our states,” said North Carolina state Rep. Julie von Haefen (D), who along with other state lawmakers participated in a meeting with Klein and White House intergovernmental affairs director Julie Chavez Rodriguez on Friday.
Von Haefen said that questions from White House officials included ones about access to abortion medication and any state bills prohibiting expenses for travel to receive an abortion.
“They’re really curious about what’s on the ground, and I know they’re weighing all of their options,” added Yvonne Hsu, chief policy and government affairs officer of the National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum.
She pointed to areas the White House can focus on immediately to lessen the burden on women that were discussed in the May 21 meeting, including addressing the lack of access to information in languages other than English, squashing disinformation and curtailing fear in immigrant communities.
“What I am thankful to this White House for is not only calling those meetings, but calling them actually to listen, listen to what our concerns were across states,” said Kelly Davis, executive director of New Voices for Reproductive Justice.
She said she expressed a “series of concerns,” including that, compared to other groups, “Black pregnant people are going to experience the majority of health, finance and self-determination consequences.”
Still, other crises have seemed to take precedence at the White House in recent weeks, such as the string of mass shootings and the subsequently renewed push for gun control legislation, leaving some to worry that the abortion fight has taken a back seat.
“I think the moment has kind of passed and it isn’t on the front burner now as far as I can tell. The administration has got consumed with Ukraine, firearms and inflation,” said Lawrence Gostin, a public health law professor at Georgetown University.
“It’s not that they don’t want to do anything, it’s just that they just don’t think there’s anything immediate and powerful that they can do under the law,” he said.
In the immediate wake of the leaked draft opinion, Biden, who is a devout Catholic, used the word “abortion,” which marked a shift from not publicly speaking the word out loud during his presidency. Advocates for abortion access are hopeful that Biden leaning into the issue could mean he is more bullish when a ruling is out.
“I would love to see the White House take the following steps in the coming months, including that linguistically they have managed to actually speak in alignment with movements that talk about the word abortion,” Davis said.
With limited action available now, Democrats are also looking to make abortion an issue on the campaign trail ahead of the looming midterm elections, hoping that the fight will help energize members of the base and bring in swing voters.
Biden has called for voters to mobilize and elect more pro-abortion rights lawmakers to the state and federal levels, a call he reiterated when a vote failed in the 50-50 Senate last month on legislation that would have protected various abortion procedures. Harris has also echoed that message.
The White House has sought to paint Republicans as extreme for enacting abortion restrictions at the state level and opposing the Women’s Health Protection Act, a law that would codify federal abortion rights.
“The Biden-Harris Administration is continuing to speak out as extremist Republican leaders are weaponizing the use of the law in states across the country to punish and control women,” a White House official said. | https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/national/white-house-quietly-braces-for-death-of-roe-v-wade/ | 2022-06-07T16:26:03Z | https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/national/white-house-quietly-braces-for-death-of-roe-v-wade/ | true | 24 |
One year after the Miami Heat fell apart in the 2011 NBA Finals, they were singularly focused on getting back to the championship stage and completing their unfinished business.
None of their players were more determined to do so than LeBron James, who had an epic meltdown in the 2011 Finals, the likes of which no all-time great had ever experienced.
Buy Lakers TicketsThe Heat made it back to the Eastern Conference Finals versus the Boston Celtics, who were making one final run with their fearsome foursome of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo.
The Celtics were James’ biggest rival back then, and when they took a 3-2 series lead with a 94-90 win in South Florida, it looked like James was in for another rough summer of sorrow and media criticism.
Heading into Boston for Game 6, the Celtics were intent on wrapping up the series right then and there.
But no one told James, who managed to flip the negative narrative that was taking shape around him.
In one of the more inspiring performances in NBA playoff history, he obliterated the men in green with 45 points on 19-of-26 shooting, 15 rebounds and five assists. It was likely his greatest game ever, even a decade later.
That day, Miami took an early lead and never gave it up, as it won rather easily, 98-79.
The Heat went on to take Game 7 to advance to the NBA Finals. This time, there would be no meltdown, as James played brilliantly to capture his first championship. | https://lebronwire.usatoday.com/2022/06/07/on-this-date-heat-take-game-6-of-2012-ecf-lebrons-best-game-ever/ | 2022-06-07T16:26:39Z | https://lebronwire.usatoday.com/2022/06/07/on-this-date-heat-take-game-6-of-2012-ecf-lebrons-best-game-ever/ | false | 1 |
‘Tokyo Vice’ renewed for season 2 on HBO Max
Tokyo Vice fans were in for a treat this Tuesday morning.
In a post on the official Tokyo Vice Instagram account, HBO Max announced that its widely praised new crime drama has been renewed for a second season. Fans largely expected this to be the case, but in an era of constant uncertainty both in and out of the entertainment industry, it was welcome news nonetheless.
Starring Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe, Tokyo Vice follows journalist Jake Adelstein (Elgort) as he works to uncover the shady dealings of a dangerous Japanese crime syndicate called the yakuza. Aided by Watanabe’s detective Hiroto Katagiri, Adelstein digs deeper than his fellow reporters are willing to, ultimately biting off more than he can chew when his work bleeds into his personal life, resulting in physical altercations with yakuza gang members and threats on his family.
Based on the 2009 memoir of the same name, Vice is a loose retelling of what the real-life Adelstein has claimed are true events, though many of his claims have since been brought into question. Showrunner J.T. Rogers has confirmed that while the HBO Max drama is inspired by Adelstein’s story, the end result is completely fictional (despite the protagonist bearing Adelstein’s real name).
The show’s renewal for a second season makes perfect sense given that season one did not end where it began ⏤ namely with a chilling confrontation between Adelstein, Katagiri, and members of the yakuza who, in so many words, ask Adelstein not to write a story about their leader (or else). While season one did end on a major cliffhanger, fans quickly realized that a second season (and maybe even a third) would be necessary in order to bring the story full circle.
While HBO Max has not yet offered an official release date for season two, the network has promised that it’s “coming soon,” hinting that production on the incoming episodes might already be underway. Despite some hiccups during season one’s production ⏤ including but not limited to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and sexual abuse allegations against Elgort ⏤ the show ultimately made its way to HBO Max to the pleasure of fans and critics alike.
We will update you with more information on a season two release date as soon as it becomes available. | https://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/tokyo-vice-renewed-for-season-2-on-hbo-max/ | 2022-06-07T16:28:29Z | https://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/tokyo-vice-renewed-for-season-2-on-hbo-max/ | true | 1 |
After a year-long hiatus, former WWE Champion teases his return to wrestling through his tweets and posts on his social media.
After almost a year of absence from wrestling, Bray Wyatt’s recent activity on Twitter is a clear indication of his fast-approaching comeback. Wyatt first changed his Twitter handle’s name to @Windham6 while serving his 90-day WWE non-compete clause.
Since then, Bray had been posting cryptic messages on his Twitter. He later changed his name to “Red Circle”. On Tuesday, Rotunda changed his Twitter name again to Wyatt 6 which led the fans to speculate about his return. Bray has always stayed in character on his social media exuding the same bizarreness in his posts and Tweets as in the ring.

— WYATT 6 (@Windham6) May 31, 2022
Along with changing his name on Twitter, he changed his profile picture to an image that seems to be an inverted moth with its head scratched in red. Looking closely into the scribbles, you will be able to decipher the face of the Fiend.
Everything good that’s ever happened to me, first came a period horrible suffering. I never ask why, I just wait for the rough part to end. I was chosen for whatever reason. And I’ve got shit to do. It doesn’t hurt anymore, it burns.
I’m ready now⭕️
— WYATT 6 (@Windham6) May 31, 2022
Bray further indicated in his tweets how he persevered after his release from the company and has come to grips with it.
I’m tired of watching. Tired of hearing irrelevant clowns speculate how I’ll be perceived. Tired of hearing about my greed, my desire questioned. Wherever and whenever I decide to return, I’ll remind everyone why they know my name. Again. And again.
Believe in me.#IFoundIt— WYATT 6 (@Windham6) May 31, 2022
Windham tweeted again an hour later, slamming the doubters, referring to them as “irrelevant clowns”.
Patience. It’s almost time
— WYATT 6 (@Windham6) May 31, 2022
In his final tweet, Bray made it conspicuous that he is ready to return.
Will Bray Wyatt return to WWE or debut somewhere else?
Bray Wyatt was released from the WWE on July 31, 2021.
After his release, Bray began working on a horror film project with special effects artist Jason Baker. The new “Face of Fear” spot is currently vacant in the WWE.
As the career of The Undertaker approached its end, WWE developed a new character to strike fear in the hearts of the superstars and the WWE universe. While it is more likely for Windham to return to the WWE, it is still too early to ignore the possibility of Bray debuting as an All Elite. Sources revealed that Bray Wyatt was making a staggering amount of $4 million a year in the WWE before his release. With an asking price so high, will AEW be able to afford Wyatt? | https://thesportsrush.com/wwe-news-patience-its-almost-time-former-wwe-champion-teases-a-possible-comeback-to-wrestling/ | 2022-06-07T16:34:20Z | https://thesportsrush.com/wwe-news-patience-its-almost-time-former-wwe-champion-teases-a-possible-comeback-to-wrestling/ | true | 1 |

SAN FRANCISCO, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hagens Berman urges Enochian Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENOB) investors with significant losses to submit your transactions now.
Visit: www.hbsslaw.com/investor-fraud/ENOB
Contact An Attorney Now: ENOB@hbsslaw.com
844-916-0895
The investigation focuses on: (i) the accuracy of Enochian's pipeline of purported "miracle" disease treatments; and (ii) the adequacy of the Company's disclosures concerning its "scientific founder," "inventor" and largest shareholder, Serhat Gumrukcu – an individual who Enochian admits the Company is highly dependent upon.
Specifically, on May 25, 2022, federal authorities arrested Gumrukcu and another man for their alleged involvement in a "murder-for-hire" conspiracy, which resulted in the death of Vermont resident Gregory Davis. According to prosecutors, the murder was motivated by Davis' threat to inform the FBI that Gumrukcu had defrauded Davis in a multi-million-dollar oil deal.
Then, on June 1, 2022, Hindenburg Research published a scathing report on the Company. Hindenburg observed that Gumrukcu has an extensive criminal past that Enochian's Board and C-Suite have known about for years. Hindenburg also revealed Gumrukcu fabricated his credentials, engaged in the unauthorized practice of medicine, and siphoned $20 million from Enochian shareholders. Hindenburg also reported that a former executive left the Company after he concluded Gumrukcu lied about his work on Enochian's HIV project, lost scientific trust in Enochian's projects, and was fed up with Enochian's "culture of secrecy" discouraging management from questioning "financial movements" and Gumrukcu's credentials.
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether Enochian misrepresented Gumrukcu's background, accomplishments, and its need for him to achieve any semblance of commercial success," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding Enochian should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.

Apple WatchOS 9 Goes Official At WWDC 2022; Supported Devices & Features
Apple introduced watchOS 9, software for its smartwatches, at this year's WWDC event. The new watchOS 9 version comes with a handful of upgrades and new features. The new updated OS brings improvements to the watch faces, new workout app, sleep stages, and medication tracking, among other things. So let's have a look at the new features and supported devices of watchOS 9.
Apple WatchOS 9 Brings Four New Watch Faces
The watchOS 9 version comes with four new watch faces for Apple watches. These include Lunar, Playtime, Metropolitan, and Astronomy. In addition, the new OS version includes updates to the existing watch faces, which you can find in detail here.
WatchOS 9 Brings New Workout App, Health Features
The Workout app on the watchOS 9 has been updated to show more information and metrics. Apple watches will now be able to let the users create a structured workout schedule. The devices can also show new alerts like pace, power, heart rate, and cadence. For health enthusiasts, there's a new Multisport workout mode, which is capable of switching between different activities like swimming, biking, and running.
Apple Watches Will Now Show Improved Sleep Tracking
Apple has updated the watchOS with an improved sleep tracking feature. The watches are now able to provide a breakdown of different activities like REM sleep, core, and deep sleep in the application on their supported devices.

Former Tour de France Champion Reveals Cancer Diagnosis
Late last week, a three-time winner of the Tour de France revealed that he has cancer. Greg LeMond revealed that he's suffering from a treatable form of cancer.
"The purpose of this statement is to let you know I have been diagnosed with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia," LeMond, 60, wrote on his website. "Fortunately, it is a type of cancer that is treatable, and it is a type of leukemia that is not life-threatening or debilitating."
LeMond said he had been experiencing fatigue over the past few weeks. He said he will begin treatment this week.
No one ever wants to hear the word cancer but, admittedly, there is great relief, now, to know why I was feeling poorly. My doctors and I have decided on a treatment which will begin this week. I should be feeling better in a few weeks and for the near future, my daily schedule will be altered only a little and I have been told that in a few months, I should be in remission. The long-term prognosis is very favorable. I am fortunate to have a great team of doctors and the full support of my family, friends and colleagues at LeMond Bicycles.
LeMond won his first Tour de France title in 1986 before posting back-to-back wins in 1989 and 1990.
We wish Greg the best as he undergoes treatment. | https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/former-tour-de-france-champion-reveals-cancer-diagnosis | 2022-06-07T16:47:20Z | https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/former-tour-de-france-champion-reveals-cancer-diagnosis | true | 1 |
(The Hill) – Kim Phuc Phan Thi, the woman from the famous Vietnam War “Napalm Girl” photo, said in an opinion piece published Monday that Americans should not shy away from images showing the effects of gun violence to help them understand the horror of “domestic war.”
“The thought of sharing the images of the carnage, especially of children, may seem unbearable — but we should confront them,” Phan Thi wrote in The New York Times. “It is easier to hide from the realities of war if we don’t see the consequences.”
Phan Thi was captured at the center of a photo that became iconic of the Vietnam War after her village was bombed in 1972, when she was 9 years old. She was captured naked with a scream of terror and pain on her face after experiencing severe burns that still scar Phan Thi 50 years later.
“I know what it is like to have your village bombed, your home devastated, to see family members die and bodies of innocent civilians lying in the street. These are the horrors of war from Vietnam memorialized in countless photographs and newsreels,” she wrote.
Phan Thi added: “Sadly, they are also the images of wars everywhere, of precious human lives being damaged and destroyed today in Ukraine.”
Along with comparing Vietnam with Ukraine, a country that has been under siege from Russia for more than three months, Phan Thi drew a parallel between the carnage of wars abroad and that caused by school shooters domestically.
“We may not see the bodies, as we do with foreign wars, but these attacks are the domestic equivalent of war,” she said.
She specifically addressed last month’s violence in Uvalde, Texas, where a gunman massacred 19 children and their two fourth grade teachers at Robb Elementary School.
Phan Thi said: “I cannot speak for the families in Uvalde, Texas, but I think that showing the world what the aftermath of a gun rampage truly looks like can deliver the awful reality. We must face this violence head-on, and the first step is to look at it.”
Phan Thi also discussed her own evolution from “detesting” the “Napalm Girl” photo as a child to being grateful for the opportunity to play a part in educating the world about the ravages of war.
“It was only in adulthood, after defecting to Canada that I began to find peace and realize my mission in life, with the help of my faith, husband and friends. I helped establish a foundation and began traveling to war-torn countries to provide medical and psychological assistance to children victimized by war, offering, I hope, a sense of possibilities,” she explained.
Phan Thi shared in an interview with PBS News Hour in 2020 that she was full of “hatred, bitterness, and anger” before discovering purpose through her Christian faith and service to others.
“In 1982, I wanted to take my life, because I thought, after I die, no more suffer, no more pain. Eventually, I found the New Testament in the library in Saigon. In Christmas, 1982, I became a Christian. That faith, it helped me a lot,” she recalled.
Phan Thi said that “Forgiveness set my heart free” and that she loves her enemies, adding: “I forgive everyone who caused my suffering, even the pilot, commander, people controlling me.”
“My work with the children who has trauma like me, I know how they have pain, and not only the pain with physical, but nightmare and traumatized…Now I’m working, not because of my duty, not because of my mission, but because of my love,” she shared at the time.
Phan Thi knows “the unspeakable evil of which humanity is capable,” she wrote in the Times.
“Still, I believe that peace, love, hope and forgiveness will always be more powerful than any kind of weapon,” she said. | https://www.woodtv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/woman-from-napalm-girl-photo-says-we-should-confront-what-a-gun-rampage-truly-looks-like/ | 2022-06-07T16:47:48Z | https://www.woodtv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/woman-from-napalm-girl-photo-says-we-should-confront-what-a-gun-rampage-truly-looks-like/ | false | 15 |

During Annual Training 2022, Idaho Army National Guard Soldiers from Charlie Company trained extensively in tactical movements. At the core of those skills is the “buddy rush” where infantry soldiers practice the most basic skills of combat. According to U.S.Army Field Manual for The Infantry Rifle Platoon and Squads;
“ Every Infantryman, from the private enlisted Soldier, to the general officer, is first a rifleman. As such, he must be a master of his basic skills: shoot, move, communicate, survive, and sustain. These basic skills provide the Soldier’s ability to fight. When collectively applied by the fire team, squad, and platoon, these skills translate into combat power. Of all branches in the U.S. Army, the Infantry is unique because its core competency is founded on the individual Soldier — the Infantry rifleman. While other branches tend to focus on weapon systems and platforms to accomplish their mission, the Infantry alone relies almost exclusively on the human dimension of the individual rifleman to close with and destroy the enemy.”
Charlie Company is one of three companies making up the 2-116th Combined Arms Battalion. Combined arms is how Army forces fight, where leadership creatively combine weapons, units, and tactics.
The 2-116th CAB is currently preparing to deploy in support of Operation Spartan Shield

Gestalt-Hamamatsu unified solution will provide end-to-end support to the entire workflow
SPOKANE, Wash., June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Gestalt Diagnostics, Inc., a leading provider of digital pathology solutions, and Hamamatsu Photonics K.K., a leading provider of whole slide imaging systems, announced the implementation of a unified solution at Intermountain Healthcare. This combined solution will facilitate Intermountain Healthcare's adoption of digital pathology* and accelerate implementation across the entire Intermountain Healthcare system.
As laboratories adopt digital pathology, they must leverage complex hardware and software solutions ecosystems to augment their existing workflows. Intermountain Healthcare recognized the complexity of implementation and adoption of digital pathology. To facilitate adoption and help users recognize the value of digital pathology, Intermountain Healthcare opted for an open ecosystem that was genuinely interoperable. As a result, Intermountain Healthcare selected Gestalt and Hamamatsu to drive efficiencies while reducing turnaround times for their clinicians.
Dylan Miller, MD, who co-led the digital pathology implementation strategy at Intermountain Healthcare, noted, "Combining the flexibility, reliability, and durability of Hamamatsu's latest generation scanning technology with Gestalt's highly adaptable and interoperable image management and reporting solution has been an ideal pairing. We are able to meet diverse and dynamic needs across multiple lab sites and pathology groups in our system as we are rolling out digital pathology because of this tremendous partnership."
Don Ariyakumar, Product Manager at Hamamatsu stated, "Enabling customers to select the best-in-class solutions for their organization along with interoperability is critical for the adoption of digital pathology.

PathFlow, our digital pathology solution, streamlines the workflow and case management for Intermountain Healthcare's pathologists through interoperability, increasing efficiency. Our ability to integrate bi-directionally with the LIS and EMRs to provide the right case to the right pathologist both internal to Intermountain Healthcare and to their external clients, regardless of their location, has a positive impact on their operations."

Top website builder Wix has revamped its solution for the hotel industry to offer a full suite of tools for hospitality businesses to launch, manage and grow an online presence.
Currently in beta, the solution will allow users to build a website, manage their property, guests, booking and sales channels from a single platform.
Partnering with cloud-based online sales and digital marketing platform HotelRunner, Wix’s solution will also offer connection capabilities to popular online sales channels and travel agencies such as Booking.com, Expedia, Hotelbeds, and Airbnb.
Manage hospitality online
Wix Hotels by HotelRunner will also provide users with the ability to receive direct reservations and secure payments from websites to its customers.
Other than secure payments, the revised solution also includes real-time inventory updates on all sales channels, and the ability to manage policies and taxes, offer extras, promotions, deals, and coupons.
“We are constantly improving our offering to provide business owners with a complete solution for any type of business, and we’re thrilled to relaunch our hotel solution for the hospitality and tourism industry,” said Ronny Elkayam, SVP Mobile, App Market and Strategic Products at Wix.
“As travel has begun to increase in the post-pandemic era, we’re seeing a rise in the demand for digitalization in the hotel and hospitality industry and we’re proud that we have developed a strong solution for these businesses and grow the addressable market.
“Wix has invested resources into building out the proper infrastructure to support privately owned businesses and large franchises, both for restaurants and hotels, and this new partnership with HotelRunner is another step in creating the go-to solution for businesses to efficiently manage their operations and grow.”
The Wix Hotels solution is set to gradually rollout in English first and then to other languages, and existing users will move to the new solution after the beta.
“Our unique partnership with Wix will be the driving force that will take the hospitality and tourism industries to the next level by accelerating the digital transformation,” said Arden Agopyan, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of HotelRunner.
As it stands, new users are only able to sign up for the beta version. | https://www.techradar.com/news/hotel-businesses-can-now-manage-online-bookings-with-wix | 2022-06-07T16:51:23Z | https://www.techradar.com/news/hotel-businesses-can-now-manage-online-bookings-with-wix | false | 6 |

The Joint Channel Forecast Model presented by the Auto Care Association and the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association details a strong aftermarket recovery coupled with indicators for continued growth
BETHESDA, Md. and RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. , June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The automotive aftermarket continues to demonstrate its market strength with higher-than-expected sales in 2021 in the wake of a slow economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Total U.S. light duty automotive aftermarket sales are forecasted to increase 8.5% in 2022, totaling $356.5 billion, according to the "2022 Joint Channel Forecast Model" produced jointly by the Auto Care Association and the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association (AASA). This data will be examined in a joint, member-exclusive webinar led by Shane Norton of S&P Global Mobility at 1 p.m. EDT on June 9.
An additional 5% growth is expected for 2023 and growth will average more than 3% in 2024, bringing the light-duty aftermarket to $401.5 billion by 2025. The compound average annual growth rate from 2019 to 2022 will be 5.7%, more than making up for losses seen in 2020 due to the pandemic.
"Year after year, the auto care industry continues to show its strength and reliability," said Bill Hanvey, president and CEO, Auto Care Association. "In the midst of the highest gas prices on record and an inflation rate at a 40-year high, coupled with persistent supply chain disruptions and war in Eastern Europe, Vehicle Miles Driven, Vehicles in Operation, and consumer spending all increased in 2021 and are projected to increase into the coming years as well."
"The automotive aftermarket once again shows its resiliency with a stronger than expected recovery from the pandemic," commented Paul McCarthy, president and CEO, AASA. "In fact, the automotive aftermarket rose nearly 25% in the past two years despite ongoing headwinds, and we are excited to see the landmark market size of $400 billion in 2025. But as the industry advances to that landmark number, look for a new challenge to emerge as we may shift from a market supported by high demand and availability to a battle for market share. With that, we'll see one more strength of the aftermarket emerge, collaboration with the right partners to ensure the same pace of success in this next phase of industry dynamics."
Key data in the joint channel forecast model include:
- Market trends influencing the aftermarket;
- A 2021-2025 review of industry growth and forecasts;
- Industry sales by channel including history and forecasts;
- Industry sales by distribution channel;
- And more.
The market sizing and forecast are conducted on behalf of the Auto Care Association and AASA by S&P Global Mobility (formerly the automotive team at IHS Markit), a leading business intelligence firm. The forecast is based on the U.S. Census Bureau's Economic Census; IMR Inc.; and proprietary data, economic analysis and forecasting models from S&P Global Mobility.
The Joint Channel Forecast Model is available in the Auto Care Association's 2023 Auto Care Factbook at digital.autocare.org/2023factbook and in AASA's Aftermarket Size & Forecast Report available at https://www.aftermarketsuppliers.org/resource.
