It’s currently been 12 hours since I left the Garrick theatre and my sides still hurt from laughing. I warn you now, Young Frankenstein is beyond hilarious and you’ll probably leave the theatre with considerably stronger abdominal strength than you entered with. So, if you’re sore the day after, you can’t say you weren’t warned. It’s clear what I think the main reason you should see this wonderful musical is, but the reasons don’t stop there. | https://wwww.paristheatredirect.com/news/5-reasons-to-see-young-frankenstein | 2022-06-07T16:58:57Z | https://wwww.paristheatredirect.com/news/5-reasons-to-see-young-frankenstein | false | null |
TUCSON, Ariz., June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In an 8-to-1 decision, the Texas Supreme Court agreed with the amicus brief filed by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), by ruling that the Texas Medical Board should have voided its report in the Data Bank against a good physician.
"More than 100,000 physicians have disparaging reports against them in this federal database," observed AAPS General Counsel Andrew Schlafly. "Many of those reports should be voided as the Texas Supreme Court just held with respect to this physician."
Robert Van Boven, M.D., D.D.S., valiantly fought for nearly a decade to obtain justice amid false accusations against him. "The Board's findings and conclusions in its Final Order negated the factual basis for the allegations against Van Boven," the Texas Supreme Court found, yet the Texas Medical Board had refused to void its prior adverse action report to the Data Bank against the physician.
Mr. Schlafly states, "This decision by the Texas Supreme Court establishes a cause of action for physicians to obtain justice for outdated and inaccurate reports about accusations that were never proven."
When a physician ultimately prevails against false accusations, as Dr. Van Boven did, there should not be a "scarlet letter" that remains forever in the federally maintained Data Bank. This new decision establishes appropriate liability for entities when they fail to void false accusations in the Data Bank once the physician is exonerated.
The Texas Supreme Court held that "the Board was required to file a Void Report with the Data Bank. Officials' actions to the contrary were therefore ultra vires, and the officials are not immune from Van Boven's claims."
"The era of smearing physicians with impunity by not voiding false accusations from the Data Bank is over," Mr. Schlafly states.
The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is a national organization representing physicians in all specialties since 1943. Its motto is omnia pro aegroto (everything for the patient).

Musk threatens to walk away from Twitter deal
DETROIT (AP) — Elon Musk is threatening to end his $44 billion agreement to buy Twitter, accusing the company of refusing to give him information about its spam bot accounts.
Lawyers for the Tesla and SpaceX CEO made the threat in a letter to Twitter dated Monday that the social platform included in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The letter says Musk has repeatedly asked for the information since May 9, about a month after his offer to buy the company, so he could evaluate how many of the company’s 229 million accounts are fake.
A message was left early Monday seeking comment from Twitter.
The lawyers say in the letter that Twitter has offered only to provide details about the company’s testing methods. But they contend that’s “tantamount to refusing Mr. Musk’s data requests.” Musk wants data so he can do his own verification of what he says are Twitter’s lax methodologies.
The lawyers say that based on Twitter’s latest correspondence, Musk believes the company is resisting and thwarting his information rights under the April merger agreement.
“This is a clear material breach of Twitter’s obligations under the merger agreement and Mr. Musk reserves all rights resulting therefrom, including his right not to consummate the transaction and his right to terminate the merger agreement,” the letter says. | https://www.kwhl.com/musk-threatens-to-walk-away-from-twitter-deal/ | 2022-06-07T17:00:39Z | https://www.kwhl.com/musk-threatens-to-walk-away-from-twitter-deal/ | false | 8 |
(Reuters) - The BA.4 and BA.5 sub-variants of Omicron are estimated to make up nearly 5% and 8% of the coronavirus variants in the United States as of June 4, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Tuesday.
The two sublineages, which were added to the World Health Organization's monitoring list in March and designated as variants of concern by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), were present in all U.S. regions.
Last month, South African scientists found that the sublineages of the Omicron coronavirus variant can dodge antibodies from earlier infection well enough to trigger a new wave.
BA.4 made up 5.4% of the variants in the country for the week ending June 4, according to CDC estimates, while BA.5 made up 7.6% of the variants during the same time.
The seven-day moving average of U.S. COVID-19 cases stood at 98,010 as of June 4.

CHICAGO, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Against a backdrop of skyrocketing gas prices, ongoing concerns about climate change and an unprecedented push by the auto industry to launch more electric vehicles, consumer interest in Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) is also on the rise. According to the most recent Ipsos Mobility Navigator Study, almost one-half of potential buyers in the U.S. say they will consider a fully electric vehicle for their next purchase. That is an increase of almost 400% since 2018, when only 13% indicated they would consider a BEV for their next purchase.
Despite this surge in consumer interest, sales of fully electric vehicles remain a stubbornly small part of the overall light vehicle market. According to recent vehicle sales data obtained from Marklines, battery electric vehicles made up just 5% of light vehicle sales in the first quarter of 2022 despite volume being up over 70% from the same quarter in 2021.
And despite high-profile launches of electric vehicle models from traditional automakers, Tesla remains the dominate force in EVs: its share of battery electric vehicle sales has actually increased from 70% in the first quarter of 2021 to 76% in the first quarter of 2022. Questions abound. Why aren't EV sales higher? Why can't traditional brands close the gap with Tesla?
Insights from the 2022 Mobility Navigator suggest a dramatic difference in how older buyers view EVs vs. their younger counterparts.
Almost three-quarters of Generation Y/Z consumers say they are willing to consider a battery electric vehicle for their next purchase. In stark contrast, less than 30% of Boomers share this same sentiment. To complicate matters further, interest among Gen Y/Z buyers has actually grown more in the past three years than for Boomers. In other words, this gap between younger and older buyers is widening.
Not surprisingly, this gap in interest is driven by very different perceptions about battery electric vehicles, particularly views about the overall cost of ownership. Most Gen Y/Z consumers (63%) agree that the overall cost of ownership for a BEV is less than for a traditional gas/diesel vehicle. Among Boomers, only 24% feel the same way.
There are some areas where older and younger consumers share common ground regarding BEVs, including battery life, recharging time and range. These are the most common reasons both groups give for avoiding BEVs altogether. These same issues are also the top reasons both groups give for ultimately deciding not to purchase a BEV after considering one initially. OEMs must continue to address these overarching concerns through communication and product development efforts.
Boomers represent a much larger share of new vehicle sales than Gen Y/Z. According to Statista.com, Boomers represented 41% of light vehicle sales in 2020 while Gen Y/Z only represented 23%. Conversely, Boomers make up only 7% of those that actually considered a BEV during their last new vehicle purchase, whereas Gen Y/Z represent two-thirds of that group.
Boomers also tend to be more able to afford the higher prices of most of today's BEVs. According to Kelly Blue Book, the average transaction price for an electric vehicle is $56,437 — roughly $10,000 higher than the overall industry average of $46,329. Boomers also tend to favor more mature brands when it comes to future consideration of BEVs. Although both age groups show high levels of interest in Tesla, Boomers are much more likely to mention brands like Toyota, Honda, and Ford. In contrast, Gen Y/Z are much more likely to mention brands like BMW, Audi, and even Apple.
Ultimately, Boomers have the potential to be either a secret weapon, or an Achilles heel, for the more traditional auto brands as they try to shift their business to electric vehicles. Because Boomers are a large group of buyers with an affinity for more established, mainstream brands, converting them to the BEV cause could pay huge dividends. On the other hand, if Boomers remain BEV-resistant, brands that depend on them for a large chunk of their sales may face an uphill battle in achieving an electrified future.
The Ipsos Mobility Navigator Study/Program will provide further insights through 2022, which automotive insiders can immediately use to capitalize on new consumer behaviors such as electrification perceptions and shared mobility usage.
Look for our next installment when we focus on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving Technology in July, 2022. The final installment focusing on Shared Mobility will follow in October 2022.
About the Study
For this survey, Ipsos interviewed a total of 6,000 new vehicle owners aged 18-74 in the United States of America n=2,000 and n=1,000 for the following countries: China, Japan, Brazil and Germany.
Data collected are weighted so that each country's sample composition best reflects the demographic profile of the adult population according to the country's most recent census data. Data collected are also weighted to give each country an equal weight in the total "global" sample. Online surveys can be taken as representative of the general working age population in Germany, Japan and the United States. Online samples in Brazil and mainland China are more urban, educated, and/or affluent than the general population and the results should be viewed as reflecting the views of a more "connected" population.
Additional data is available through a subscription to the offering.

HEAT WAVE Kicks-Off June 7 with DAYA and includes Rock, Pop, R&B, Country and Metal Musical Acts
JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md., June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate the summer season, Armed Forces Entertainment (AFE) has a hot lineup of talented musical entertainment for U.S. military personnel serving overseas as part of their global music concert series, Heat Wave that kicks off June 7 – July 5, 2022.
Pop superstar DAYA (born Grace Martine Tandon), known for her magnetic vocals, released her first song, "Hide Away," in 2015 at the age of 16 to strong online support. When she debuted the song on Today with Kathie Lee and Hoda just a few months later, her fate as a full-blown pop star was set in motion. "Hide Away" shot to number 40 on the Billboard Pop Songs chart, peaking at 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2017, Daya received a Grammy for her featured performance on The Chainsmokers' song "Don't Let Me Down." She brings her enchanting energy and driving beats to Europe: June 7 - RAF Lakenheath, UK; June 8 - RAF Alconbury, UK; June 10 - USAG Benelux-Chièvres, Germany and June 11 - USAG Wiesbaden, Germany.
Next up is Sweet Siren, a popular show band that covers the hottest Top 40 hits, classic rock and country favorites, with the added flare of custom arrangements. Band members Carolyn Burgoyne (lead & harmony vocals), Jeff Schreiner (guitar, lead harmony vocals), Jethro Arola (bass guitar, vocals) and drummer Kent Christen dominate the stage with energy and top-notch performances. They will be performing June 25 - RAF Croughton, UK; June 26 - RAF Lakenheath, UK; June 28 - Volkel AB, Germany; June 30 - Kleine Brogel AB, Belgium; July 1 USAG RP – Kaiserslautern, Germany; July 2 - 3 USAG Wiesbaden, Germany and July 4 - USAG Grafenwoehr, Germany.
Heat Wave RIMPAC will present four back-to-back live acts in Hawaii for an awesome concert experience. Country star Chase Rice, known for his "Eyes on You" single that spent two weeks at #1 on Country Radio, will headline. Pop artist MAX, known for "Blueberry Eyes," a collaboration with SUGA, which has already received 250 million+ streams and 40 million YouTube views since its release, will warm up the crowd. Rock band The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, widely known for their song "Face Down" released on Virgin records in 2006, took another direction in 2011, and independently hit #1 seven times on Billboard's Christian Rock Radio charts. Marc E. Bassy, whose work includes the double-platinum certified song "You and Me" featuring G-Eazy, gold-certified song "Morning," Charlie Puth's platinum album "Nine Track Mind," and G-Eazy's double-platinum song "Some Kind of Drug," will enchant the crowd with his creative pop/R&B sounds. Together, these amazing artists create an all-day, festival-inspired live show event that will travel to three bases in Hawaii June 30 – July 4. First stop for RIMPAC is June 30 - Marine Corps Base, HI; July 2 - Schofield Barracks, HI and July 4 - Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, HI.
Singer-songwriter Jerrod Niemann is heading to Europe in July, bringing smart lyrics, human insights and a love of history to his pure Country music. He has released six albums since his Long Hard Road debuted in 1999, and in 2001, he began to collaborate on songs for Garth Brooks. His own five chart topping songs are "Drink to That All Night," "Lover, Lover," "What Do You Want," "Shinin' on Me," and "One More Drinkin' Song." This Platinum-certified star will be performing July 1 - USAG Benelux-Brunssum, Netherlands; July 2 - Spangdahlem AB, Germany; July 3 - Ramstein AB, Germany and July 4 - USAG Stuttgart, Germany.
Kat Perkins is a singer/songwriter who delivers strong vocals with fearless conviction. Perkins entered the public eye after a three-chair turn on The Voice. During the show, her first single, "Fearless," placed in the top five on the iTunes rock chart in 2014, and qualified for the first round of Grammy Awards for "Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance." Today Perkins continues to tour, especially to overseas military venues, and remains a popular opening act for major rock bands. She will be in Southwest Asia from July 1-5.
Metal returns to AFE stages in Southwest Asia when Drowning Pool amps up the night with their heavy-duty original tunes. This four-member hardcore headbanger band from Dallas is an AFE audience favorite, and just one of the must-see 2022 Heat Wave shows. On this tour, Drowning Pool is celebrating the 20th anniversary of their best-selling platinum debut album, Sinner. They will be performing July 2 – July 4.
SuperUnknown is quickly becoming the premier tribute band for the music of Chris Cornell, an alternative rock and grunge standout who rose in stature from the late 1980s to the 2000s in the bands Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple of the Dog. SuperUnknown covers all eras of Cornell's music, which earned top honors from Rolling Stone Magazine, reaching #9 for "Best Lead Singers of All Time." Unfortunately, Cornell took his own life in 2017, but his music lives on through SuperUnknown. Begun in 2018 as a solo act by vocalist/guitarist Jason Reed (who uncannily recreates the howling vocals of Cornell), SuperUnknown now consists of a full band also featuring Louis Graff (guitar), Tom Laskas (bass), Ron DiSilvestro (drums) and Pete Hefley (guitar). The group will be performing at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay July 2 and July 4.
Echosmith, an indie pop band of four siblings, brings its vintage sounds with the only female member, Sydney Sierota, heading up vocals. When the band released their trendy song "Cool Kids," it reached number 13 on Billboard Hot 100, and was certified double platinum in the U.S. and Australia. They are bringing their upbeat music to Europe, performing Jun 29 - Lajes AB, Portugal; July 2, Incirlik AB, Turkey and July 4 at Aviano AB, Italy.
Another sibling act, Aly & AJ, is two sisters in an energetic pop duo. Into the Rush, their debut album, was certified gold in 2005. From that album, the song "No One" was featured in the soundtrack of Walt Disney's Ice Princess. Both talented guitarists and vocalists, they bring encouraging messages and positive energy to the stage and will perform June 30 - USAG Vicenza, Italy; July 2, NSA Naples, Italy and July 4 at NS Rota, Spain.
"The full music spectrum is represented in this summer's Heat Wave lineup of talent," said AFE Marketing & Business Analyst Brian Burke. "And the musical performers are super excited to be out on the road touring at live events for our service members. AFE is grateful to them for bringing their high spirits and energetic sounds to service members serving far away," he said.
About Armed Forces Entertainment: Armed Forces Entertainment (AFE) is the official agency of the Department of Defense providing quality entertainment to U.S. military personnel serving overseas, primarily at contingency operations and in remote and isolated locations.

Leeds United have already made one signing from Austrian football this summer and Sporting Director Victor Orta looks to be dipping into the same market again for their second summer addition. Brenden Aaronson arrived from RB Salzburg for just under £30m, reuniting with former manager Jesse Marsch, who will attempt to strengthen the defence with another former charge.
The right-back in question is Danish international Rasmus Kristensen. Aged 24, Kristensen moved from Ajax three years ago for a not insignificant £4.5m fee given his stature at the time. It appears he has come good on his promise though, with a Premier League move likely to bring in a decent margin of profit for Salzburg.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the transfer to Leeds is a case of finishing off the details, although he didn’t reveal the figures involved. This Is Futbol quoted Romano from his Here We Go podcast.
“Rasmus Kristensen, this full-back will be a new Leeds player. Just a matter of final details, they will have to complete the medical, to sign the contracts, but he will join Leeds and will be the new right-back.”
After heavily relying on Luke Ayling and at time Stuart Dallas, Leeds will be grateful for a source of competition and depth at the club. One of the frequent criticisms of Leeds last season was their poor depth contributing to the slump in form last season. | https://www.caughtoffside.com/2022/06/07/will-be-a-new-leeds-player-journalist-confirms-orta-has-agreed-deal-for-24-year-old/ | 2022-06-07T17:10:04Z | https://www.caughtoffside.com/2022/06/07/will-be-a-new-leeds-player-journalist-confirms-orta-has-agreed-deal-for-24-year-old/ | false | 1 |

NEW YORK, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- San Francisco-based fine jewelry brand Cast is excited to welcome neighboring Bay Area designer Lauren Harwell Godfrey as their latest guest designer to create an exclusive collection for Cast to add to their growing roster of all-female collaborators. Godfrey's collection, titled "Spellbound" is a celebration of cool and collected California style featuring natural turquoise in hex shaped stacks, 14K gold, diamonds and blue zircon.
The Collection launch supports Cast's mission to bring more discovery, wonder and joy to the fine jewelry shopping experience. Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer Rachel Skelly partners with a variety of designers to craft and curate exclusive collections. Every artful piece is distinct yet each can be paired together for layered and unexpected looks. With her unique partnership approach, Skelly has crafted a remarkable global roster of some of the most innovative designers in the jewelry business including Alice Ciccolini, Francesca Villa, Kristy Ford, Stacy Nolan and now Lauren Harwell Godfrey.
"Working with Cast was a collaborative experience that required trust and a lot of care. Rachel has a great love for innovative, eye-catching fine jewelry and I knew that my designs would be in good hands with her and the entire Cast team," says Godfrey. Godfrey's Spellbound Collection captures her signature style using gemstones and figurative references from cultures long ago.
Skelly explains, "It's been a thrill to work with Lauren on this collection. Given my roots in graphic design I've always been so drawn to Lauren's striking graphic style. Her aptitude for design along with her use of bold gemstones, color and geometric patterns drew me in and I knew immediately that I wanted to work with her. It's been an honor working beside her to bring to life this special collection that is infused with the rich symbolism that is so signature to her style."
The Spellbound collection celebrates the power of turquoise, known for its ability to captivate and calm. The true beauty lies in the combination of raw meets refined. The natural matrix marbling of this powerful stone stacked against rich 14K reclaimed gold and a radiating pattern of Canadian pavé diamonds create a striking balance. Keeping to the calming blue tones, blue zircon brings an added sparkle and the bold hex shapes bring a graphic structure to the design that is synonymous with Godfrey's own collection.
Cast's Spellbound collection ranges in price from $1,100 to $5,500 and is currently available for purchase on www.castjewelry.com.

A defrocked Oblate priest who has been convicted of dozens of horrendous sexual crimes against Inuit children is now out on parole.
Eric Dejaeger had been sentenced to 19 years for crimes committed between 1978 and 1982 that included indecent assault, unlawful confinement, buggery, unlawful sexual intercourse and bestiality.
He had been in custody for four years before his 2015 trial, which stirred up so much emotion that the Nunavut government sent counsellors to the hamlet where Dejaeger had been stationed.
His parole comes with a long list of restrictions, including that he must live in a residence run by the Oblate order and return to it every night.
Dejaeger, now 75, can’t be around children without the presence of a guardian and must continue therapy for his sexual deviance.
Dejaeger’s trial introduced evidence so graphic and disturbing that the judge’s written verdict came with a content warning.
At the end of the trial, Justice Robert Kilpatrick pleaded with the victims to find a way to trust again and to find the good in other people.

A remark by President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) on Monday that the government hopes to continue raising the nation’s monthly minimum wage every year drew mixed reactions from labor unions and trade groups yesterday, from expectations about a steeper increase next year to concerns over adverse effects on businesses already affected by COVID-19 restrictions.
Taiwan Labour Front secretary-general Son Yu-liam (孫友聯) said he welcomed Tsai’s announcement and expected that a wage hike next year would be larger than the increase this year, the state-run Central News Agency (CNA) quoted Son as saying.
This year, the monthly minimum wage was raised by 5.21 percent from NT$24,000 to NT$25,250 (US$813 to US$856), and the hourly minimum wage lifted from NT$160 to NT$168, with 2.45 million workers estimated to benefit from the increases, the Ministry of Labor said.

Son said that since Tsai took office in 2016, the government has raised the minimum wage every year for six consecutive years.
As the nation’s GDP has maintained steady growth over the past six years, so the government’s actions prove that those who regard wage increases as harmful to the economy are wrong, he said.
For many workers, this is also their only chance to receive a raise, he said.
During her speech at the annual assembly of the Taiwan Confederation of Trade Unions, Tsai said that the government plans to raise the minimum wage every year and is determined to overcome every obstacle to carry out the goal.
However, Tsai said that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have been hurt by a surge in COVID-19 cases in the past few months, which could make absorbing a minimum wage hike in the coming year difficult for them.
The government would provide assistance to smaller businesses to help them overcome any obstacles they encounter, she said.
Chiang Chien-hsin (江健興), who heads the confederation of unions, said he hoped the government would continue raising the minimum wage to keep paychecks from being eroded by rising inflation.
Lawmakers should pass a formal minimum wage bill as soon as possible to set up a mechanism for annual wage hikes, Chiang said.
However, the National Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (中小企業協會) and the General Chamber of Commerce (全國商總) expressed concerns about a continued increase in the minimum wage next year, saying that while some sectors might have weathered the impact of COVID-19 this year, others have not fared so well.
Association chairman Lee Yu-chia (李育家) said that while semiconductor firms and shipping companies have posted robust sales, some SMEs have been badly hit by the pandemic and are unable to offer higher wages.
The government should provide support to businesses that cannot afford a hike in the minimum wage, such as through tax reductions and delayed payments, Lee said.
General Chamber of Commerce chairman Paul Hsu (許舒博) said any plan to increase the minimum wage must take the situation in different industries into account, with appropriate subsidies for affected businesses, such as those in the services industry.
Otherwise, firms would resort to layoffs or cutting working hours to reduce costs if their business has not been good this year, especially in the service sector, where the pandemic has had a huge impact, Hsu said.
The ministry’s Minimum Wage Review Committee, which comprises government officials and representatives of unions and the private sector, as well as academics, is required to meet in the third quarter of every year to discuss wage adjustments for the next year.

Global smartphone shipments are expected to fall 3.5 percent to 1.31 billion units this year, market research firm International Data Corp (IDC) said in a report yesterday, as it reversed downward its previous forecast of an annual 1.6 percent increase. IDC attributed the downward projection to three consecutive quarters of decline in shipments, and increasing supply and demand challenges, the report said. However, the market researcher expects the decline to be a “short-term setback” and retained its five-year compound annual growth rate projection of 1.9 percent through 2026, as it expects the market to rebound next year, it said. “The smartphone industry is
RESERVED OPTIMISM: Automakers are filling backlogged orders, as concerns now turn to how demand might hold up amid inflation and higher interest rates The global semiconductor shortage that has bogged down the auto industry for almost two years is showing signs of easing, at least for now. Mercedes-Benz AG, Daimler Truck Holding AG and BMW AG are among automakers now getting enough of the high-tech components to produce at full capacity after experiencing crippling outages for months. The breakthrough comes earlier than the companies predicted and marks a bright spot for an industry facing a deteriorating economy and inflation while managing a historic transition to electric-vehicle production. Manufacturers are cheering the chip-supply improvement but are not declaring victory yet. “We’re still monitoring it week to week,

The TGA in November last year gave the Medigen vaccine a provisional determination, the first step to provisional approval, corporate data showed. The step allows for provisional registration of medicines on the basis of preliminary clinical data. The TGA said it requires comprehensive non-clinical
Taiwanese smartphone IC designer MediaTek Inc (聯發科) and US rival Qualcomm Inc felt the sting of China’s COVID-19 lockdowns as their smartphone IC shipments from the country fell in April, market advisory firm CINNO Research said. Strict COVID-19 measures in major cities such as Shanghai, Kunshan and Suzhou dampened demand for smartphones in China, the firm said. CINNO Research was founded by semiconductor and flat-panel experts from Taiwan and China.

Seventy-three percent of nursing homes in the U.S. are concerned they will have to close over staffing shortages, a new survey published June 6 from the American Healthcare Association and National Center for Assisted Living found.
"Lawmakers across the country must prioritize long term care residents and staff and that begins with providing resources to address workforce challenges," said Mark Parkinson, president and CEO of the American Healthcare Association. "As a provider that uniquely relies on government funding, policymakers must help nursing homes better compete for nurses and nurse aides, as well as build up the pipeline to incentivize more people to pursue a career in long term care."
Four key findings:
- Sixty percent of facilities said their workforce situation has worsened since January.
- Ninety-nine percent of facilities are asking staff to work overtime or extra shifts.
- Eighty-seven percent are currently experiencing moderate to high staffing shortages. Of those, 48 percent are at a high level.
- Ninety-eight percent are experiencing difficulty hiring staff.

Uncertainty among recent graduates regarding whether their college credential or trade certification truly indicates that they have the skills employers seek could be swaying roughly half of them from even applying for entry-level jobs in their field because they don’t feel prepared for them, according to a new report.
The Cengage Group’s research on traditional degree graduates ( associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees) and non-degree graduates (vocational and certification programs) found that confusion about the marketability around their skills creates a barrier to their employability.
“Graduates in both streams are self-selecting out of potential entry-level opportunities, with 53% of traditional degree graduates and 49% of non-degree graduates saying they had not applied to an entry-level job in their field because they felt underqualified,” the report says.
The findings are based on a Cengage survey last month of 1,000 U.S. respondents ages 18-54+ with a household income level up to $150,000.
Stigma on multiple fronts
Among grads with traditional degrees, just two out of every five (41%) think a college degree signals they have or will have the skills needed by employers, the report says. Among non-degree grads, 49% felt a skills training credential adequately indicates the skills they have. In addition, one-third of all grads said they didn’t know their program’s placement rate.
The cost of traditional college, coupled with the stigma associated with not attaining a traditional degree, could be fueling much of the confusion, the report notes. There’s the stigma felt among parents and educators toward career and technical education, even though a growing number of Generation Z believe there are other ways to get a good education besides a traditional degree, it says, adding that better outreach and awareness about alternative education approaches would help.
Employers themselves often play into the stigma, the report continues.
“There’s employer legacy bias of requiring candidates to have traditional degrees regardless of how relevant it is to the role,” the report says, noting that employers could play a critical role in educating and influencing the conversation about postsecondary education and workplace preparedness.
A chance to draw more applicants
The report observes that employers could draw more interest and job applicants if they provided and paid for training.
“Graduates are interested in workforce development, with 95% saying that if their employer covered the cost of online training and credential programs, they would pursue it, creating a significant and currently underleveraged talent pool,” it says.
This is notable as the report cites that some job descriptions may be discouraging new grads for applying. Nearly four in 10 grads (39%) felt underqualified because they had some but not all the skills listed in a job description. About one-quarter (23%) indicated it was because they didn’t have relevant real-world work experience or employability skills related to the role.
“As employers struggle to fill roles, this presents a sizeable opportunity for employers to upskill potential candidates who might have a good base of skills but need further development,” the report says. | https://www.ccdaily.com/2022/06/confusion-about-credentials-and-work-readiness/ | 2022-06-07T17:18:06Z | https://www.ccdaily.com/2022/06/confusion-about-credentials-and-work-readiness/ | true | 1 |

Which ‘Beauty and the Beast’ purses are best?
“Beauty and the Beast” has been capturing the imaginations of children and adults alike for over 20 years now and continues to be an enchanting Disney favorite all over the world. Whether it’s the castle, the clothing, the music or the books, one thing is certain: The fairytale of Beauty and the Beast is much beloved and the legacy continues to expand with a merchandising line of gorgeous accessories and purses for fans.
The Loungefly Disney Beauty and the Beast shoulder-bag purse is a beautiful double-strap faux-leather purse with soft, subtle colors, a zippered front pocket and two side pockets with a top handle for convenient carrying.
What to know before you buy a ‘Beauty and the Beast’ purse
Shoulder bag
For shorter distances and commutes, the shoulder bag is a fabulous and timeless look. Shoulder bags usually have slightly more classic or higher-end vibes, hold your necessities easily and allow for quick access to credit cards or cosmetics.
Backpack
For longer excursions and day trips, backpack purses and mini backpack purses are better. They allow you to be hands-free; they distribute the weight of what you’re carrying more evenly across your shoulders and back; they often have more storage space; and are fully enclosed at the top, which prevents the loss of personal items and keeps your things from getting wet during light rain.
Dress-up and cosplay
Some Disney Beauty and the Beast purses are less about the print and more about being on theme in a way that feels totally authentic, as though you’re in the world rather than representing it. These purses are ideal for dressing up as Belle for costume parties or Halloween, for cosplaying at conventions or for trips to Disney world as a must-have accessory. Dress your kids up in these Disney costumes to match for a whole family event.
What to look for in a quality ‘Beauty and the Beast’ purse
Material
Purses can be made from a number of materials and fabrics, from leather and vegan leather to denim, cotton canvas, nylon, neoprene and more. Faux- or vegan-leather purses are excellent choices in fabric for durable purses that can withstand longer use. Faux leather is more weather resistant than fabrics such as cotton or denim, can generally carry heavier items and also looks higher-end than other popular purse materials.
Dimensions
If you’re intending to wear your Beauty and the Beast purse to Disney World or to a convention, you might need a little extra room for carrying your belongings than a smaller purse can handle. Look for a height of at least 10 inches, with 10.5 or 11 inches being more ideal for greater storage capacity.
Additional accessories
Many Disney Beauty and the Beast purses, particularly by Loungefly, have matching or coordinated wallets you can purchase separately to complete the look. If you are planning to store banking cards, cash and IDs in your new Beauty and the Beast purse, purchasing the wallet is a good idea to keep things safe and organized.
How much you can expect to spend on a ‘Beauty and the Beast’ purse
Beauty and the Beast purses are made of faux leather, are fully lined and have gorgeous print work. As such, they are slightly more of a cost investment. Expect to spend $75-$95 at least for most officially licensed Belle purses.
‘Beauty and the Beast’ purse FAQ
Are Disney purses waterproof for rain or rides at Disney World?
A. They are not advertised as being fully waterproof; however, due to their faux leather exterior, they should provide a measure of protection for your clothing and devices against rain. Never submerge or machine wash these purses.
Can mini backpack purses fit a tablet? How much can they hold?
A. While these purses aren’t designed for carrying a large tablet, they could accommodate smaller devices. Beauty and the Beast shoulder-bag or mini-backpack purses should comfortably fit your smartphone, cosmetics, wallet, a small water bottle in the side pocket, some personal items and even a light T-shirt if you need a change of clothes.

Which kava teas are best?
While it might be new to you, Pacific Islanders have been drinking kava tea for thousands of years. This ancient beverage, derived from the roots of the Piper methysticum plant, is typically consumed to produce sedative and euphoric effects that might increase sociability and reduce anxiety.
You can find high-quality kava root in the form of a ground powder, liquid extract or a box of teabags. Wakacon Kava Fijian Waka Noble Powder is the top pick because it’s traditional, natural and easy to prepare.
What to know before you buy kava tea
Benefits of drinking kava tea
Like other herbal stress support supplements, kava has grown in popularity over the last few years because it is a natural way to relieve stress and encourage sleep without medication. Several studies have shown that drinking kava is an effective treatment for anxiety in adults, and others have indicated that it may be a useful supplement for treating insomnia. Ingesting kavalactones, the active ingredient in kava tea, has even shown promise as a potential cancer prevention method.
Side effects
Despite its established usefulness as a sedative and relaxant, there are some negative side effects associated with drinking kava. The United States Food and Drug Administration has noted a link between kava consumption and rare instances of liver damage, so moderation is recommended. Heavy, long-term consumption of kava has also been linked to a temporary skin condition that causes dry, scaly skin on certain body parts. If you take prescription medication, talk with your doctor before drinking kava tea, especially if you’ve had liver issues.
Kava tea powder preparation
Preparing a simple cup of ground kava root is not that different than brewing traditional tea leaves. First, add the recommended serving of powder to a fine strainer bag and pour in hot water. Let the infusion brew for about ten minutes, then squeeze and knead the bag so that all of the water ends up in your container. Once the resulting liquid looks opaque and light brown, your kava will be ready to drink.
What to look for in quality kava tea
Form
While traditional kava is sold as a powder, you can also find the root in small extract bottles, tea bags and capsules. These alternative forms can be helpful if you don’t enjoy the earthy taste.
Accessories
If you decide to buy kava tea in powder form, you’re going to need some kind of fine muslin or cheesecloth bag in which to brew it. There are specialized straining bags for this exact purpose and other accessories like kava drinking bowls to make your experience more authentic.
Noble vs. tudei kava
The vast majority of kava tea sold is known as noble kava. This type of tea has more kavalactones than other varieties and is grown slowly, resulting in a high-quality beverage that provides all desired health benefits. The other variety of kava, known as tudei, is cheaper and more potent but may contain compounds that may produce negative side effects. Look for kava tea that’s advertised as completely noble.
Blends
Due to the unpleasant taste of kava, many companies will blend their kava tea with other ingredients to add flavor and additional relaxing effects. Chamomile, lavender and valerian root are other common ingredients that you can mix into your kava tea blend.
How much you can expect to spend on kava tea
In powder form, kava tea is typically sold by weight. Most ground kava is about $2-$6 per ounce, while a box of tea bags is usually $5-$10.
Kava tea FAQ
What does kava tea taste like?
A. Pure ground kava root has a strong, earthy and bitter flavor that many people liken to the taste of dirt. Because of this unpleasant flavor, many users choose to mix their tea with drinks like chocolate milk or combine it with a chaser.
Does kava tea contain caffeine?
A. No. Despite the name, kava tea contains no actual tea leaves and doesn’t have the stimulating effect of caffeine. On the contrary, drinking kava makes the user feel relaxed and even sleepy.
What are the best kava teas to buy?

Wakacon Kava Fijian Waka Noble Powder
What you need to know: This popular kava tea is sold in powder form and is all-natural and gluten-free.
What you’ll love: This ground kava root is completely noble and only uses the lateral root, which is said to be more potent than other parts. The company also emphasizes a commitment to sustainability by planting five new kava plants for every harvested plant.
What you should consider: Some users reported that their ground kava was too chunky.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Top kava tea for the money
What you need to know: These kava tea bags are affordable and perfect for the curious beginner who just wants to try the beverage.
What you’ll love: Compared with other kava teas, these tea bags produce a beverage that is light and pleasant-tasting, with additional ingredients like cinnamon and carob to add flavor. The teabags are also compostable.
What you should consider: This soothing kava tea isn’t as potent as other products.

What you’ll love: The organic tea blend contains natural relaxants like chamomile, lavender and passionflower, in addition to generous amounts of kava. Many users have reported that it helps them sleep better and longer.
What you should consider: It’s a bit more expensive than other blends, and it isn’t the most traditional choice if you want the authentic kava experience.

20 years of pride! Carson Kressley and Thom Filicia are gearing up to celebrate two decades of the original Queer Eye series — and they still can’t believe how much the show means to longtime fans.
When asked about the importance of being big role models within the LGBTQ+ community, Filicia, 53, exclusively joked during a joint interview with Us Weekly, “That’s why I switched to a light beer, so I could be a smaller role model.”
Kressley, 52, also had a lighthearted reply. “You know, we’re coming up on the 20th anniversary of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, which is incredible ’cause we’re only 19,” he teased. “But I think, you know, none of us really thought we were gonna be role models. I just wanted to get rid of mullets and pleated khakis, you know? … [But] reality TV — especially places where you’re visible and you’re just being who you are and doing your job and moving through the world the way that you move through the world — can be very impactful.”
The duo rose to stardom on the Bravo hit, which debuted in 2003. Along with Kressley and Filicia, whose expertise were in fashion and interior design, respectively, the original “Fab Five” included food guru Ted Allen, hair and grooming pro Kyan Douglas and “culture vulture” Jai Rodriguez. The reality show aired for five seasons and inspired a wildly popular Netflix revival, which premiered in 2018.
Especially during Pride Month, the Celebrity Big Brother alum is aware of just how important representation can be to those at home. “People watched as a family. Young people could have discussions and say, ‘Oh, what is gay?’ [or] ‘Oh, I didn’t know any gay people before I saw them on the show,’ and ‘Of course they should have the same rights as us, of course they should be able to get married or adopt,'” Kressley told Us. “It wound up being way more powerful than we realized, but the power is really just in being yourself and being your authentic person and showing other people out there that it’s OK to be exactly who you are.”
Filicia, for his part, reflected on being out and proud on TV in a much different era than this generation’s “Fab Five,” adding, “We were one part of a bigger wheel [of change] that was happening at that moment. And I think we had a great hand in sort of helping move that forward.”
The American Beauty author continued, “I think what’s really important is also [being] approachable. … It’s just amazing to me the stories that we’ve heard along the way with [how] young people are now … and they tell us about their journey and how important we were to them. … It’s like opening that door and leaving it open for the next person.”
Next year will officially mark the 20th anniversary of the premiere of Bravo’s Queer Eye — and planning is already underway to celebrate the milestone. “We’ll put it out into the ether and the universe that we would love to do something … and we’ll see what it is,” Kressley teased. “We might just all get together at Shady Pines and push Ted around.”
Along with reminiscing on their past, the Get a Room stars are teaming up with Polywood this summer, showing off the brand’s all-weather outdoor furniture made from ocean-bound and landfill-bound plastic. “This is truly most authentic, sustainable story that I’ve seen of a product,” Filicia raved. “There is this sustainable component, there’s the made in America component. There’s also the American dream of starting this [company] in [a] garage. So there’s so many amazing story lines. … It’s cute and good for the planet.”

Brennan Johnson believes playing Premier League football at Nottingham Forest will boost his ambition of starting for Wales at the World Cup.
Johnson scored 19 goals last season to help fire Forest into the top flight and is one of the most exciting talents to emerge in Welsh football for several years.
But the 21-year-old has yet to establish himself as a regular starter for the national team, again appearing as a late substitute on Sunday as Wales beat Ukraine to qualify for a first World Cup since 1958.
“Seeing the boys who are in the Premier League and doing well, it puts them in good stead to play in these big games,” said Johnson, who is expected to start Wales’ Nations League game against Holland in Cardiff on Wednesday.
“Now I’ll be doing it, I will be testing myself against good players every week in the Premier League.
“So when I come into these Wales games I’ll have better experience of playing at the highest level.
“The more club games I can impress in, it makes you want to start. It only helps.”
Johnson was the subject of a reported £18million bid from Brentford in January, but chose to stay at his hometown club for whom his father David played for between 2001 and 2006.
He was named the Championship’s Young Player of the Season at the EFL awards and had been tipped for a Premier League move even if Forest had failed to beat Huddersfield in the play-off final at Wembley.
Johnson said: “There were a lot of games in January and I didn’t have too much time to think about it (his future).
“There was a short period when it did become a thing, what I was going to do, but in my head I always wanted to stay.
“I believed in the team, that we had a real good chance of going up.
“Even when we weren’t too high in the league I knew we had the players to really push on. I’m happy I made that decision.
“I knew this season I had the capabilities to play in the Premier League.
“To do it with Forest is so much better and it’s definitely going to help me in terms of my Wales career as well.”
Johnson says his personal development has benefited from sharing training sessions with Wales captain Gareth Bale.
“He’s such a good player and I pick up little things from him daily from every session,” said Johnson.
“When I’m on the bench, I’m watching little things he does in games.
“The way he gets past people is something I want to do in my game.” | https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/06/07/brennan-johnson-premier-league-football-with-forest-will-aid-my-world-cup-hopes/ | 2022-06-07T17:26:52Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/06/07/brennan-johnson-premier-league-football-with-forest-will-aid-my-world-cup-hopes/ | true | 12 |

Former NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Petty is about to sit down for some deep conversations with special guests. “Dinner Drive with Kyle Petty” is back for a star-studded second season, which features some racing legends.
Circle All Access has released the new trailer for Petty’s interview show. The brief clip shows him talking to Joe Gibbs and Darrell Waltrip, along with multiple prominent names from other industries. Additionally, a press release confirmed that Jeff Gordon will also make an appearance during the seventh episode of the season.
“After a successful premiere season of ‘Dinner Drive with Kyle Petty,’ we’re really excited to bring our viewers a fresh season of the show,” said Evan Haiman, SVP of Content at Circle Network, in a press release. “Circle viewers that are fans of everything from NASCAR to country music will find an episode that’s right up their alley.”
The second season of “Dinner Drive with Kyle Petty” will debut on Circle on Thursday, June 16, with an episode focused on country star John Oates. Circle is available on many satellite and cable providers, as well as on certain digital antennas.

The Second Season Features 12 Episodes
The second season of “Dinner Drive with Kyle Petty” will feature numerous guests that take Petty to local restaurants and discuss their respective careers. There will be 12 episodes set in North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia.
Two particular episodes feature championship-winning organizations. The Gordon episode will feature a tour of Hendrick Motorsports before the two former drivers also visit Charlotte Motor Speedway and zMAX Dragway while driving a 2022 Chevrolet Corvette.
The episode focused on Gibbs, for comparison, features an in-depth tour of Joe Gibbs Racing and an extensive discussion about the 2019 Daytona 500 that Denny Hamlin won a month after JD Gibbs passed away.
The episode highlighting Darrell Waltrip takes place far from the home of NASCAR. Petty actually travels to Franklin, Tenn., to meet with the Hall of Fame driver and tour his Honda dealership before heading to a local restaurant to continue the conversation.
The rest of the season will feature chats with former Atlanta Braves star Chipper Jones, country star John Rich, songwriter/actor Lyle Lovett, musicians Scott and Seth Avett, and Shawn Johnson and Andrew East.
Season 1 Turned Heads With the Guest List
The new season continues a trend that began in 2021. The first season of “Dinner Drive with Kyle Petty” turned heads with its laundry list of special guests, starting with the pilot that featured Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Petty’s first list of guests also crossed multiple industries. He talked to country singer Darius Rucker, professional wrestler Ric Flair, golfer Davis Love III, racing legend Mario Andretti, Trackhouse Racing co-owner Pitbull, and former NFL player-turned-politician Herschel Walker.
A very special episode from the inaugural season was a family affair. Petty spent time with his father, Richard Petty, and he toured the Petty Museum in North Carolina. The two drivers also went for a ride in the 1970 Plymouth Superbird that won 18 out of 40 races.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Low voter turnout and some political gamesmanship may decide which of three challengers emerges Tuesday to take on California Attorney General Rob Bonta in the November election.
Bonta, the only Democrat in the race, is running in his first statewide election after Gov. Gavin Newsom appointed the former state assemblyman to the post last year.
He faces two Republicans: Nathan Hochman, a former federal prosecutor and former assistant U.S. attorney general endorsed by the state party, and private attorney Eric Early, legal counsel for the unsuccessful effort to recall Newsom last year.
But the wildcard is Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert, who gave up her Republican affiliation four years ago and is running as an independent. Schubert has portrayed herself as a tough-on-crime career prosecutor but is both openly gay and pro-choice, leaving her difficult to pigeonhole on social issues.
Also running is Green Party candidate Dan Kapelovitz.
The office of California attorney general has long provided both a national stage and a stepping stone to higher office, including recently for Vice President Kamala Harris, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and former Gov. Jerry Brown.
Becerra used the office to fight then-President Donald Trump at every turn, while Bonta has championed reproductive and LTGBQ rights and the state’s gun control efforts at the national level.
Two groups that support Bonta are trying to tip the scales in his favor under California’s primary system, which advances the top two vote-getters to the general election no matter their party affiliation. They have poured more than $1 million into targeted messaging advising Republican voters that Early is a Trump supporter, recall leader and defender of Second Amendment rights.
Early finished last in a four-way primary election for attorney general in 2018 and is far behind in campaign fundraising.
The radio ads and mailers position Early as the true conservative choice to Bonta. If Republican voters agree, that would edge out the more moderate Hochman and Schubert, who might have greater appeal to centrist voters and thus pose a greater risk to Bonta in a general election.
“Bonta and Early are the only choices for anyone who has an opinion about gun violence, legal abortion, or Donald Trump,” said Dan Newman, spokesman for one of the groups, backed by the state’s prison guard union that endorsed Bonta. He criticized the other candidates “who refuse to take positions or reveal their party preference.”
The state Republican Party called the tactic “dirty tricks” and the nonpartisan California Target Book, which tracks campaigns, labeled it “skullduggery” while noting that it has become a common and legal means of candidate-shopping.
“They want me out of the race because I’m the biggest threat,” said Schubert. “They’re focusing on Early because they want a trouncing in the general election. Eric Early is the most conservative, right-leaning candidate, that’s true, in a state that is very, very blue.”
Hochman has meanwhile tried to tie Bonta to liberal San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, who faces a recall election on Tuesday, and to Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón.
Hochman labeled them “the let ’em go guys,” noting that he represented Gascón’s own deputy prosecutors in a successful lawsuit that still left the district attorney with some discretion in prosecuting repeat offenders. | https://www.thereporter.com/2022/06/07/3-challengers-square-off-in-california-attorney-general-race/ | 2022-06-07T17:30:38Z | https://www.thereporter.com/2022/06/07/3-challengers-square-off-in-california-attorney-general-race/ | true | 25 |

Here is the tweet made by Vijayasai Reddy.
టెన్త్ లో ఉత్తీర్ణత శాతం తగ్గడానికి ‘నారాయణ’ ప్రశ్న పత్రాలను లీక్ చేయడమే కారణం పప్పు నాయుడూ. పిల్లల్ని అయోమయంలోకి నెట్టి మానసికంగా డిస్టర్బ్ చేసిన పాపం మీదే. దిగజారి ఆరోపణలు చేయడంలో ముందుంటావు. చదువు’కొన్న’వాడివి. నువ్వు రిజల్ట్ గురించి మాట్లాడటం ఏమిటి?

Jets’ Michael Carter on NFL running backs: ‘They’re underpaid’
It will be a while before Jets running back Michael Carter is in the market for a new contract, but the 23-year-old already has some opinions about how backs are paid in the NFL.
“They’re underpaid, but we’ll talk about that later,” Carter said, midway into an answer on another topic this week.
When reporters revisited the subject, Carter had some interesting thoughts.
“To say that pay them as running backs, you label them as running backs, you should pay them as offensive weapons,” Carter said. “Where you’re going to give Davante Adams a $100 million or whatever he got [$140 million], but Aaron Jones is really doing great, too. I’m not pocket watching. He got paid, but not even half [$48 million] of what Adams got paid. Now I get there’s a market for receivers and it goes up every time someone gets signed and it goes up, goes up and goes up. But the same way they look at Tyreek Hill and the same way they look at [Stefon] Diggs and those guys are really great receivers, but Derrick Henry is a staple on his team. Jonathan Taylor is a staple on his team. Them guys deserve those big deals, too, and then from there the market can rise.”
Running backs have become viewed in the NFL as expendable and easily replaced. It has led to them falling in the NFL draft and to hesitation from teams to give them big-money deals.
“I don’t like that because I’m just going to be honest, you’re not replacing Alvin Kamara. You’re not replacing [Christian] McCaffrey right now,” Carter said. “Not that the players behind them can’t do it because I’m friends with a lot of those guys. But the value that they add from the locker room and then … how many running backs have had a thousand and a thousand? You’ve got like McCaffrey, Marshall Faulk, Matt Forte, a few. You’re not going to just go get the next guy and expect them to do that. Dalvin Cook is not necessarily the most replaceable guy in the world right now.
“There’s no reason the running back market should be at $64 million, 16 a year, 15 a year when they do more than that. We block, run and catch.”
The Jets are counting on Carter to do all those things this year and if he keeps doing it, maybe Carter can land a big payday in a few years.
Carter led the Jets in rushing as a rookie last year with 639 yards on 147 carries. He proved to be tough to tackle, bouncing off defenders and showing remarkable balance. Now, he’ll have to fight for his touches after the team drafted running back Breece Hall in the second round. But Carter showed maturity in how he handled the Hall selection.
“There’s enough for all of us to eat,” Carter said this week.
Carter also corrected a reporter who only asked about him and Hall as a 1-2 punch, pointing out there are more running backs on the team who can contribute. Carter believes the Jets’ offense has great potential, but the key is everyone contributing and staying on the field and no one should be worried about how many touches they’re getting.
“I think it comes to a point where beggars can’t be choosers,” Carter said. “We won four games last year. We’ve got to do whatever it takes. Whenever we get the ball in our hand, we’ve got to do what we’ve got to do with it.
“But when the ball’s not in our hand, football has a life of its own. If Elijah [Moore] gets the ball on a speed sweep and I go block for him and I do a good job blocking, the game is going to reward me for that. I’m going to get the ball soon because we’re moving the ball down the field. As long as we stay on the field, the more people can get the ball, we can do more stuff and expand our playbook. If we’re on the field for 35 plays a game, it doesn’t matter the potential we have.” | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2624948056291/jets-michael-carter-on-nfl-running-backs-they-re-underpaid | 2022-06-07T17:41:20Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2624948056291/jets-michael-carter-on-nfl-running-backs-they-re-underpaid | false | 3 |

Qatar picks Exxon, Total for mega-LNG expansion project - sources
By Sabrina Valle, Marwa Rashad and Ron Bousso
HOUSTON, June 6 (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp XOM and TotalEnergies SE TTEF.PA are among the companies awarded with a piece of the expansion of the world's largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, in Qatar, people with knowledge of the matter said.
Exxon, Total, Royal Dutch Shell SHEL.L and ConocoPhillips COP.N, which are part of Qatar's existing LNG production, were joined by new entrants Chevron Corp CVX.N and Italy's Eni ENI.MI in submitting bids in May 2021 for the expansion project.
The $30 billion-dollar North Field expansion will boost Qatar's LNG output by 64% to 126 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) by 2027, strengthening its position as the world's top exporter of the super-chilled fuel and help guarantee long term supply of gas to Europe which has been disrupted by sanctions on Russia due to the Ukraine invasion.
State-owned Qatar Energy (QE) had decided to make a final investment decision alone to develop the North Field expansion project, but opened a bid to seek partners to share the financial risk of the development.
Although a decision has been made, a formal announcement with the winners might not be made until later this month, one of the sources said. Exxon Chief Executive Darren Woods will attend an energy conference with QE later in June.
QE said it will hold a press conference and a signing ceremony on June 12, without specifying the subject.
Exxon and Total declined to comment. Chevron, Cococo, Shell and Eni did not immediately reply a request for comment.

Gardening tips 2022 — $1 kitchen item will keep your lawn healthy this summer – and you already have it in your fridge
A NORMAL item you can find at any grocery store or in your fridge can help keep your lawn and garden healthy this summer.
If you need an inexpensive way to water your flowers and lawn, find an old plastic milk jug in your recycling and poke holes in the lid.
You just need to use a skewer or nail to make the holes and fill the container with water and you'll have a $1 watering can in no time.
Other items you can find around your house or for cheap at stores like Dollar Tree can be recycled for use in your gardening, too.
Saving old cardboard tissue tubes are a great way to plant seeds, for example. Yogurt jars, coffee cans, and other containers can be used to grow plants as well, long as they have sufficient holes for water to drain out.
Old sponges can also be used as a way to keep the soil at the bottom of any pot moist for a longer period of time.

Himalayan poppy flowers
A Twitter gardener shared a photo of a flowering Himalayan poppy in their garden.
Some plants need to be left alone
If your plants are in your garden or lawn, it will be harder to inspect their roots, so you'll need to do something much more difficult: wait.
Remember that cold snaps and heat waves can impact your plants for weeks to come.
If something in your garden isn't blooming, it might be a later season plant that needs a little grace period.
Summer bloomers may have no signs of life on top, despite sturdy stalks and leaves, or you may have plants that don't show signs of growth until July.
The best thing to do is to keep watering and feeding plants regularly and leave the plants alone.
How to inspect roots
If you have a plant that's yet to bloom, it could be tempting to write it off as dead and rip it out of the ground.
But if you can check on the plant's roots, you'll have a little more information to work with before you toss it out by looking at its roots.
You're looking for plump, healthy-looking roots and if you see slime or mushy textures, that's an indicator of root rot.
You can sometimes cut root rot away or treat it with a tincture of hydrogen peroxide, but if you don't intervene soon enough, that might be a death knell.
Save your toilet paper tubes
You can use paper towel tubes and toilet paper tubes in your garden, according to a tip from Family Handyman.
Save the tubes and cut them into two-inch lengths before placing them in a waterproof tray.
Then simply fill the tubes with potting soil and start planting your seeds.
According to the site, when you're ready to move them into the garden, they can be planted right in the tubes and, because it's cardboard, they'll decompose organically.
You can start your seeds inside
Buying seeds from the Dollar Tree or the clearance section in stores is a great way to save money because they come for as low as 25 cents a pack.
Aspiring gardeners can use common household items to plant the seeds indoors, instead of buying new pots.
Items like used plastic cups, egg cartons, apple sauce, and yogurt containers are perfect for housing seeds.
Organize with a storage shed
Installing some form of storage, such as a shed, is essential in keeping your garden clean and tidy and it’s the first step to achieving a stylish look.
If you already have a shed, don’t forget to give it a fresh coat of paint by choosing a color that will match the rest of your garden furniture.
Aerating your lawn can be fun
If you have $20 to spare, you can purchase a pair of aerator shoes that make it easy to poke holes in your lawn.
Aeration allows water, air, and nutrients to reach the grass roots in your lawn, making for healthier grass.
Slip your feet into a pair of aerator shoes and go for a walk around the lawn to get some cardio in and improve your grass's condition.
Give your lawn a quick fix
Gardening experts say that you can use a rake to dethatch the surface of your lawn.
Dragging the rake across your grass will loosen a layer of dead grass from under the new growth - that dried-up grass is known as thatch.
"The goal is to remove a thick layer of built-up, dead plant material, and allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the soil again," said Blythe Yost, co-founder and CEO of landscape design company Tilly.
"It’s one of the best ways to stimulate lawn growth quickly and naturally."
Gardening interests spiked during Covid-19
During the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic, spikes in an interest in gardening were reported by many media outlets, according to The Ecological Society of America (ESA)
The exact reason for the spikes has not been determined, but the ESA reported that the spikes are being investigated further.
Gardener shares Astrantia Major bloom
A gardener on Twitter shared the flower of an Astrantia Major, which bloomed in her garden.
"The flowers are so intricate and delicate looking but it's a tough plant that is easy to grow and self seeds readily in my garden," she wrote.
How to stop cats from going on your lawn
A gardening expert outlined their top tips for preventing neighborhood cats from defecating in your garden, including using odor repellent, a motion-activated sprinkler, or an outdoor litter tray.
Cats also don't like the smell of bananas or citrus peels, which could be an option to leave on your lawn.
Mulching makes a healthy garden
Mulch is an organic covering for the top of your soil and it helps keep it moist by protecting the surface of the soil.
Mulching reduces the amount that you should water your plants, so it’s important to get it right.
When you make a raised bed or any type of bed, you should always add mulch.
You can use a shredded straw or composted wood chips.
Save money with vegetable gardens
With a packet of seeds costing just a few cents on average, growing your own produce can save you a considerable amount of money on groceries.
For those who do not have the backyard space for garden beds, container gardening on a porch or balcony is also a possibility.
Light levels explained
Each light level is determined based on the hours of sun or shade the area receives.
Below are the number of sunlight hours each light level receives, according to Almanac:
- Full sun - six to eight or more hours of direct sunlight
- Partial sun - three to six hours of direct sunlight
- Partial shade - three hours of direct sunlight
- Light shade - bright sun filtered through leaves
- Full shade - less than three hours of direct sunlight
- Deep shade - no sunlight
Light levels revealed
When growing a garden, it is important to keep in mind the light requirements for each plant.
The gardening website, Almanac laid out the common terms for light levels:
- Full sun
- Partial sun
- Partial shade
- Light shade
- Full shade
- Deep shade
What is corn gluten?
Corn gluten is the by-product of corn processing and it's great for killing weeds.
Corn gluten contains proteins that inhibit root growth during seed germination for a number of small-seeded annual and perennial weeds that frequent lawns.
Not only does it act as a natural herbicidal alternative to toxic “weed and feed” lawn products, but it also contains a significant amount of nitrogen that full-grown turf grass loves.
Natural weed killer has narrow window
Corn gluten, which you can get on Amazon, is a winning formula for eliminating weeds, according to Midwest Grows Green.
However, there's a narrow window of opportunity to use the powder because if you apply it too soon, you'll allow dormant weed seeds to dodge the corn gluten's preventative effects.
If it's applied to established weeds, they'll just build resilience to its pre-emergency herbicidal effects.
The key is to apply the corn gluten when it attacks a weed just before germination or sprouting.
'Lupins reaching for the sky!'
Another Twitter gardener shared a photograph of several lupins standing tall.
"Stunning lupins reaching for the sky!" he wrote.
Foxglove photographed
A Twitter gardener shared a photo of a blooming foxglove plant from her garden.
Best time to remove weeds revealed
De-weeding after a spell of rain could save you a lot of time and hassle and lead to a healthier garden, according to One Good Thing.
You'll have a much easier time removing weeds when the ground is wet because damp soil is more flexible and should allow you to rip out the root of a weed intact.
Yes, there is an extra mess but it's much easier than trying to dislodge weeds when the ground is rock hard.
It also minimizes ripping the body from the stem, getting a clean sweep instead.
How to make cut flowers last longer
Cut flowers can last for weeks with just three simple household items: sugar, bleach, and optional fresh lemon juice.
It's also important to change the water often and trim the stems.
About a teaspoon of sugar and a drop of two or bleach will combine with the flower's water to help the plants stay fresh.
Hanging a water bottle
You could create another slow-release watering system by hanging a plastic bottle over your plants.
Simply take a bottle, pierce tiny holes in the bottom half and then enclose the bottle in a sock - other fabric should work just as fine.
You can then hang this above your plant by securing it to a stick that rests inside of your plant pot - but make sure it's done so securely.
Just like with the 'magic' burying method, the plants will have a steady flow of water.
Water your plants with 'magic' water bottle trick
Gardening experts have said that a cheap, plastic water bottle can be an eco-friendly watering tool for gardeners.
“Using a plastic water bottle to create a simple, yet effective, watering system is a great solution to repurpose an item that could otherwise end up in a landfill," expert Sara Dixon said.
To make the irrigation system, simply poke holes in the water bottle and cover it with a sock or another piece of fabric before burying it inside of the planter - with the opening visible at the top of the soil.
The small holes mean the bottle will act as a slow-release watering system.
Be aware of fungus gnats
Fungus gnat infestations are common for gardeners in the summer, but there are plenty of DIY solutions to get them out of the house or garden.
Fungus gnats will infest soil, potting mix, other container media, and other sources of organic decomposition.
Their larvae primarily feed on fungi and organic matter in the soil, but also chew roots and can be a problem in greenhouses, nurseries, potted plants, and interior plantscapes.
How to get gnats out of your house
You can get pesky bugs out of your house this summer by making a simple solution with four ingredients that you probably already have lying around the house.
A plant expert named Amyrah shared on social media that she got rid of her fungus gnat infestation with the simple concoction of honey, vinegar, sugar, and dish soap.
Amyrah left a plate of the mixture out near her plants and found a dish full of dead gnats the next day.
The honey, vinegar, and sugar will attract the insects but the dish soap kills them on the spot. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/fabulous/8951446/gardening-tips-live/ | 2022-06-07T17:44:45Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/fabulous/8951446/gardening-tips-live/ | true | 1 |

Who was Jack and Kristina Wagner’s son, Harrison?
JACK and Kristina Wagner are known for their roles in various soap operas and famously played power couple Frisco and Felicia on General Hospital.
On June 7, 2022, it was announced that their younger son, Harrison Wagner, had passed away.
Who was Jack and Kristina Wagner's son, Harrison?
Born December 1, 1994, Harrison Wagner was famously known as the son of Jack and Kristina.
Despite having high-profile parents, little information is available on Harrison's personal life, as he tended to stay out of the spotlight.
However, he would often post about his life on Instagram to over 4,800 followers.
"Focus. YOU are left with YOU and your thoughts," he wrote on Instagram just days before his death.
What was Harrison Wagner's cause of death?
Harrison was found dead in a parking lot in Los Angeles on June 6, 2022.
Despite being confirmed by the LA County Medical Examiner, a cause was not released.
His death is still under investigation by local police.
Harrison's death comes just six years after he went missing amid an addiction struggle.
At the time, Jack took to Twitter to update fans.
"I fear for my youngest son’s safety. Harrison has struggled with drugs and alcohol just as I did when I was younger," he wrote.
"He’s relapsed and is MIA five days.”
Despite the concern, he was later returned to his family.

Zendaya says she was ‘a little concerned’ about all the ‘Euphoria’ memes
Zendaya and Andrew Garfield are featured in a Variety cover story for its “Actors on Actors” issue, in which the two Spider-Man: No Way Home co-stars waxed philosophical in an open, candid coversation about acting. But naturally, it didn’t take long for the subject of Euphoria to come up, as Garfield — like the rest of the world — is a huge fan of the hit HBO series.
“I haven’t said it to you yet, and I’ve been saving it,” Garfield told Zendaya, right out of the gate. “Having seen season 2 of your show Euphoria with our friend Sam Levinson — the brilliant creator, showrunner, director extraordinaire — I do want to make you very uncomfortable and say that it is one of the most remarkable things I’ve seen an actor do in recent memory.”
After some back and forth about the frenetic, jaw-dropping fifth episode of season 2, “Stand Still Like the Hummingbird,” Garfield brought up the subject of memes. As it stands, an indicator of any good pop culture phenomenon worth its salt is by the ensuing memes, and as we all know, Euphoria needs no help in that department.
The second season, in particular, was a measure trove of meme material, from Maddy’s (Alexa Demie) “Bitch you better be joking” line to Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) hiding in the bathroom. However, when asked about the memes, Zendaya expressed both concern and support for fans.
“GARFIELD: Tell me about the memes. Because I noticed this.
ZENDAYA: It was ‘Euphoria’ Sundays. It became a sporting event. I think it’s hilarious. So many people — I was like, ‘Wow, you guys are so creative.’ Also, I was a little concerned. Are you guys watching? How are you typing and staying on time with the episode at the same time?
GARFIELD: Pay attention.
ZENDAYA: It was cool in the sense that there was a collective. It’s people coming and being able to enjoy something together, have discourse together. But also, I got really nervous too because we were still in the middle of editing. So while Episode 5 was coming out, I was literally in the studio, writing — rewriting — a version of ‘I’m Tired’ with Lab to put in the finale.”
With Euphoria renewed for a third season by HBO, it seems safe to say that the memes aren’t going anywhere. But Garfield is not incorrect — make sure to pay attention to the show! The memes can always wait. | https://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/zendaya-euphoria-memes/ | 2022-06-07T18:00:05Z | https://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/zendaya-euphoria-memes/ | false | 1 |
NASA rockets will lift off from the Northern Territory in the US space agency's first launch from a commercial launchpad on foreign soil.
The launch will be used to investigate heliophysics - the nature and influence of the sun - and astrophysics and planetary science only observable from the southern hemisphere.
Three suborbital sounding rockets will ascend from the Arnhem Space Centre between June 26 and July 12 in NASA's first Australian launch since 1995 in Woomera, South Australia.
Around 75 NASA personnel will be in Australia for the launch from the remote space centre, which is owned and operated by commercial space launch company Equatorial Launch Australia.
NASA's clean range policy means everything involved in the launch will be removed from the site and any motor cases and payloads will be recovered and returned to the US.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says Australia needs to continue building on the legacy of the country's space industry.
"We can trace Australia's celebrated connection to the space industry back to the 1950s," he said.
"This project will bring together global and local industry to take Australia's space sector into a new era."
Australian Space Agency head Enrico Palermo says the launch will help expand Australia's space sector, resulting in more local jobs.
"This is another signal that Australia is go for launch and will further cement our reputation as a nation that global space players want to do business with," he said.
"The growth of launch related activities in Australia is helping to open up the full value chain of space activities, which will grow the sector and create new businesses and job opportunities here at home."
The launches also extend the country's cooperation with the US as the countries work to maintain the peaceful use of outer space, Mr Palermo said.
The announcement comes after Mr Palermo this year told an air and space conference in Canberra that Australia's unique geography, climate and political landscape made it attractive for countries like the US to co-invest in space infrastructure.
Backup launch sites can also be stationed in Australia if allies' facilities go down to ensure continued access to space, he told the conference.

One of the female presidential aspirants on the platform of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Khadijat Okunnu-Lamidi, has been disqualified by the party’s Screening Committee.
Okunnu-Lamidi could not make the list of recommended aspirants by the Professor Tunde Adeniran-led panel on Friday ahead of the party’s presidential primary election.
Described as ‘enthusiastic’, Okunnu-Lamidi aspired for the number one seat in the country on the platform of the party it could not make the list of the cleared aspirants.
However, the Prof. Tunde Adeniran-led panel encouraged her to vie for any other position such as chairmanship of a local government area or as a lawmaker in the State House of Assembly or National Assembly.
“She exudes confidence, high communication skills, pleasant personality, charisma, and enthusiasm, but she is, however, limited by experience,” the panel said.
The party’s primary is scheduled to hold on Wednesday, June 8 at International Conference Centre, Abuja.
Those screened were Khadijat Okunnu-Lamidi, Prince Adewole Adebayo and Cesnabmihilo Dorathy.

‘Tiger King’ star ‘Doc’ Antle booked into South Carolina jail
HORRY COUNTY, S.C. ( WBTW ) — “Tiger King” star Bhagavan “Doc” Antle has been arrested in South Carolina, according to jail records.
Antle, 62, who does not have charges listed, was booked Friday at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center at about 5:40 p.m. by the FBI, according to jail records.
Authorities didn’t immediately explain why he was arrested. Kevin Wheeler with the FBI told Nexstar’s WBTW that he didn’t have any details to provide at this time, but confirmed he was arrested Friday. TMZ reports that, according to a source close to the investigation, the charges are related to alleged money laundering.
Antle owns Myrtle Beach Safari in Horry County. He told WBTW in December that allegations made against him in “Tiger King: The Doc Antle Story” were “absolutely false.”
California court says bees are fishInformation in the documentary accused him of having a sexual relationship with multiple minors while he was an adult — as well as forging the signature of a 15-year-old’s father so they could be legally married. He was also accused of physically abusing women and using deceptive financial practices as it relates to a fundraising organization.
In the docuseries, allegations are made about how money that Antle has raised for the Rare Species Fund has been spent and whether much of the money goes back into his pocket. The Myrtle Beach Safari website says the fund was established in 1983 and “is a grassroots organization that provides financial support and practical training to wildlife conservation initiatives in situ.” The website goes on to say that fund’s support has primarily focused on projects in South America, Africa and Thailand.
One woman referred to Antle on the show as the “ Harvey Weinstein of the animal training business”. The T.I.G.E.R.S. facility at Barefoot Landing was also mentioned several times in the new docuseries.
In January, Antle waived his right to appear in court on various wildlife trafficking charges stemming from an investigation tied to a Virginia animal park . His trial is scheduled to begin Oct. 31. His motions to dismiss the charges have been denied.
This is a developing story.

Analysis of gun purchase data from 2017 shows that the chances of being prosecuted for trying to buy a gun illegally are one in 10,000, National Review reported Monday.
A report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that 112,000 prohibited people attempted to buy a firearm in 2017 through licensed dealers. It is illegal for prohibited people to attempt to buy a firearm in any way, including through licensed dealers, who have to submit a background check form.
Those prohibited individuals who attempt to buy a firearm through legal means often lie on the background check form, Form 4473, according to National Review’s Kevin Williamson. Lying on Form 4473 is a felony offense and can bring 10 years in prison if convicted, Williamson noted.
In 2017, the GAO found that of those 112,000 people who were stopped by the background check system for violating this federal law, only 12,700 were investigated. Of those 12,700 who were investigated, only 12 were prosecuted, the report uncovered. (RELATED: STUDY: Burglaries Drop In Areas With High Gun Permits)
Of those 112,000 who were denied firearms, 36% were convicted felons, according to the GAO report. Thirty percent of those were subjects of protective ordeals, and a further 16% were convicted of disqualifying domestic-violence misdemeanors, the GAO continued.

Roughly 30% of people who failed the background check were arrested on another criminal charge within five years, National Review reported. Instead of prosecuting these individuals, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives decided to send them text messages because it’s “less intimidating,” according to another GAO report.
So while there’s been a 30% increase in homicides between 2019 and 2020, according to the CDC, those tasked with mitigating gun crime have chosen to prosecute 12 out of 112,000 people they know were trying to purchase a gun illegally. | https://dailycaller.com/2022/06/07/atf-doj-gao-gun-laws-background-checks/ | 2022-06-07T18:05:18Z | https://dailycaller.com/2022/06/07/atf-doj-gao-gun-laws-background-checks/ | false | 1 |
Tehran meeting to commemorate Islamic scholar Wilferd Madelung
TEHRAN – The Iranian Society of Cultural Works and Luminaries has arranged an online program to commemorate German author and scholar of Islamic history Wilferd Ferdinand Madelung, ILNA reported on Tuesday.
Several Islamic scholars, researchers as well as members of the association including its director Hassan Bolkhari are scheduled to attend the program set for Wednesday, the report added.
Born in 1930, Madelung specializes in Islam and Shia studies and has written about 200 books and essays about these subjects throughout his career. “The Succession to Muhammad (s)” is one of his major works in which Shia’s view of succession after the Holy Prophet (s) is affirmed. His introduction of Shia to the West is also noteworthy.
His view in comparison with other orientalists is more knowledgeable and fair but due to his cultural, political, and social limitations, he was not able to explain the problem completely.
Madelung has referred to the Holy Quran’s view in regards to the prophet’s successorship at the beginning of his book and believes that the Quran has no verse in regards to this matter, however, it has many recommendations for looking after the family and relatives of the Prophet.
Also, he has mentioned the approach of previous prophets in choosing the successor which states that they usually tend to choose one among their relatives as their successor and had this idea that through those verses it could be concluded that the Holy Prophet was concerned with the severity of this matter and had liked to choose a person among his family to be his successor, but before he was able to do so, his death arrived suddenly and he was not able to complete his task.
Making the balance between concision and loyalty to texts and traditions was one of the goals Madelung had when writing the book. He argued that most Western historians mistrust Islamic sources of early Islam, which have been characterized as old myths. He sought to review the analysis of these events based on the most relevant sources of the period while maintaining a balance between concision and loyalty to texts and traditions.
“Religious Trends in Early Islamic Iran”, “Religious and Ethnic Movements in Medieval Islam”, “An Ismaili Heresiography”, “The Advent of the Fatimids: A Contemporary Shi'i Witness”, and “Religious School and Sects in Medieval Islam” are among his credits.

Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey will speak at Tuesday’s White House press briefing about the slaughter of 21 people at an elementary school in his hometown of Uvalde, Texas.
It’s unclear if the “Magic Mike” and “Killer Joe” actor will take questions or simply hand over the podium to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. The latter happened last week during a visit by South Korean boy band BTS.
The briefing is scheduled to begin at 1:45 p.m., but it often starts late.
In a statement to the press pool, the White House described McConaughey as “a native of Uvalde, father, and gun owner.”
The A-list actor also visited the Capitol on Monday, but his handlers shielded him from reporter questions.
McConaughey, 52, decided last year against running for Texas governor as a centrist after flirting with the possibility.
The White House briefing room cameo comes after President Biden on Tuesday morning met with Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) to discuss the status of bipartisan gun control talks.
Biden has called for a ban on AR-15-style weapons, but it’s possible there could be enough support for narrower restrictions, such as an increased age limit for semi-automatic guns.
The Uvalde massacre on May 24 was committed by 18-year-old Salvador Ramos with a legally purchased AR-15-style rifle. Just 10 days earlier, 18-year-old Payton Gendron allegedly murdered 10 people at a Buffalo, NY, grocery store with an AR-15-style rifle that he legally purchased.
Then-President Donald Trump in 2018 endorsed raising the AR-15 age limit after 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz used a legally purchased AR-15 to murder 17 people at a high school in Parkland, Fla. | https://nypost.com/2022/06/07/matthew-mcconaughey-to-talk-gun-violence-at-white-house/ | 2022-06-07T18:06:35Z | https://nypost.com/2022/06/07/matthew-mcconaughey-to-talk-gun-violence-at-white-house/ | true | 2 |
Young black bear found in yard in Cuyama
A young black bear was removed from a yard in Cuyama on Friday.
According to the Santa Barbara County Fire Department, the bear was tranquilized and taken to the nearby hills to be released.
Fire officials say the bear was seen playing in a water sprinkler at a nearby church before settling down in someone's yard.
Firefighters reportedly assisted California Fish and Wildlife officials with the removal of the bear. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2624953652141/young-black-bear-found-in-yard-in-cuyama | 2022-06-07T18:07:18Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2624953652141/young-black-bear-found-in-yard-in-cuyama | false | null |

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union’s chief executive vowed Tuesday that Poland would get no money from the bloc’s vast pandemic relief fund until the right-wing government rolls back measures deemed to limit the independence of the country’s judiciary.
Poland is line to receive nearly 36 billion euros ($38.5 billion) to help its economy recover from the impact of measures introduced to limit the spread of the coronavirus. But the EU has frozen its access to the funds amid concern about political interference with the judiciary.
The European Commission, which proposes EU laws and supervises the way they are enacted, insists that a disciplinary chamber for Polish judges be abolished, that its rulebook be rewritten and that judges sanctioned by the chamber have their cases reviewed.
“Let me be very clear. These three commitments, translated into milestones, must be fulfilled before any payment can be made,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told EU lawmakers in Strasbourg, France.
The European Parliament has also launched action against Poland over democratic backsliding. The lawmakers have criticized von der Leyen and her commission for being too slow to act. Some are calling for a no-confidence vote on her should the commission release any funds too early.
“I know that some of you are skeptical, but let me assure that no money will be disbursed until these reforms are undertaken,” von der Leyen said. “A first payment will only be possible when a new law is in force that ticks all the boxes under this contract,” she said of a plan for Poland to access the funds.
Von der Leyen added that “Poland must demonstrate by the end of 2023 that all unlawfully dismissed judges have been reinstated. If this is not the case there cannot be any further disbursement.”
Poland’s lawmakers are still working on changing Supreme Court regulations to abolish the disciplinary chamber. Only one of the dozens of suspended judges has been reinstated, but to a different section in his court, and has been ordered to go on leave.
Many EU lawmakers argued that Poland should have met the conditions before its action plan for access to the recovery fund was submitted. Even some senior members of von der Leyen’s own commission had reservations about the Polish plan.
Dutch liberal parliamentarian, Sophia In’t Veld, said the commission's conditions are merely “a smokescreen.” Facing von der Leyen, she said: “If you make any payment to Poland without all the criteria having been fully met, you lose my confidence. It’s democracy.”
Poland’s pandemic recovery plan must still be endorsed by the other 26 EU member states before the end of the month. It would pave the way for government to eventually gain access to 23.9 billion euros ($25.4 billion) in grants and 11.5 billion euros ($11.7 billion) in loans.
EU officials have said that Poland is unlikely to win access to any of the money for several months.
7 ESG Stocks that are Leading the Way to a Better WorldIt's becoming increasingly popular for investors to "vote their values." One way they do this is by investing in companies that make a demonstrable effort to improve the world. This is creating a category of stocks known as ESG stocks.
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance and it covers a broad range of issues. The environmental component is relatively straightforward. This analyzes and measures how companies address issues such as carbon emissions, deforestation, and green energy initiatives including sustainability efforts built into their supply chain.
The social component covers issues such as an organization's commitment to issues like the gender pay gap and diversity but also areas such as data security, sexual harassment policies, and fair labor practices. The governance component touches on areas like diversity within the corporate board of directors and executive pay.
The focus of this presentation is to give you seven companies that are giving more than just lip service to ESG initiatives. One of the criteria used in selecting the stocks in this presentation was the company's Net Impact Ratio. This is calculated from data produced by the Upright Project's Net Impact Model.
The Net Impact Model is a mathematical model of the economy that produces continuously updated estimates of the net impact of companies by means of an information integration algorithm. MarketBeat captures key insights and presents them under the "Sustainability" tab on the company's profile page.

The popular Pirates of the Caribbean attraction that has been closed for months while Disneyland prepared for the return of the “Fantasmic” nighttime spectacular is set to return in a few weeks after a seasonal refurbishment.
The Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at Disneyland is scheduled to return from refurbishment in early July, according to Disneyland officials.

Pirates of the Caribbean could return as soon as July 1, according to the Disneyland website.
The New Orleans Square attraction will be closed for a seasonal refurbishment through June 30, according to the Disneyland website. The park’s website shows no operating hours for Pirates of the Caribbean through July 18 — the last date available on the calendar.
Pirates of the Caribbean closed in mid-March as Disneyland began widening walkways in New Orleans Square along the Rivers of America in preparation for the return of “Fantasmic.”
The New Orleans Square walkway work was completed in time for the return of “Fantasmic” on May 28 after a two-year pandemic hiatus.
Changes to the Pirates of the Caribbean queue route will help traffic flow around the attraction and New Orleans Square. The extended queue that ran along the waterfront walkway will be modified and flow into a separate area when the attraction returns.
The removal of the tree stump entrance for Tarzan’s Treehouse next to the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction queue should help with traffic flow in the chronically crowded area of Disneyland.

PFF’s offseason rankings continued on Monday with Conor McQuiston ranking the league’s head coaches. For this exercise, coaches were placed into four tiers. The first tier was labeled as “Hall of Fame coaches” and consisted of only three names, including Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots, John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens, and Andy Reid of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Harbaugh ranked second on the list, only behind Belichick. With six Super Bowl titles under his belt as head coach of the Patriots, Belichick is widely considered to be the greatest of all time, so it comes as no surprise that he tops the list. What may come as a surprise for some though, is Harbaugh ranking ahead of Reid, his former mentor with the Philadelphia Eagles. Both coaches have been staples of consistency for their respected franchises and both have won a Super Bowl, but PFF gives the edge to Harbaugh.
“Harbaugh’s head coaching career includes many iterations of offenses helmed by the typically solid yet unspectacular Joe Flacco that generally lacked upper-echelon talent,” McQuiston wrote. “Despite this, the Ravens have always fielded above-average offenses — and tremendous defenses.”
It is true that the majority of Harbaugh’s tenure in Baltimore has been built around top-notch defenses and excellent special teams. However, since shifting to quarterback Lamar Jackson during the 2018 season, the Ravens have become one of the league’s most exciting offenses, and Harbaugh deserves some of the credit for such a radical shift.
While Harbaugh’s lack of postseason success following Super Bowl XLVII has been used as criticism, the fact remains that any NFL organization would be lucky to have such a coach at the helm. | https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/2022/6/7/23157225/john-harbaugh-ranked-among-elite-head-coaches-by-pff-bill-belichick-andy-reid | 2022-06-07T18:09:38Z | https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/2022/6/7/23157225/john-harbaugh-ranked-among-elite-head-coaches-by-pff-bill-belichick-andy-reid | false | 1 |
SINT MAARTEN (CAY HILL) - Two psychologists of the Mental Health Foundation (MHF) graduated as Geestelijke Gezondheidszorg (GGZ) psychologists on June 3rd, in Bonaire as part of the first batch of graduates of the two-year GZ- psychology program spearheaded by Mental Health Caribbean (MHC).
Both Mrs. Zuleima Violenus-Salmon of the White and Yellow Cross and Ms. Stephanie Hasseth of MHF were among the 17 graduating psychologists of the Dutch Caribbean islands at the ceremony, which was held in Bonaire during the Mental Health Caribbean 10 Year anniversary celebration. The graduating professionals earned their BIG registration, which is the legal online and public register for Professionals in Individual Health Care in the Netherlands that clarifies care provider’s qualifications and entitlement to practice. In accordance with their achievements, these professionals are now able and authorized to diagnose and treat a wide variety of psychiatric illnesses and exercise their skills in varied organizations including nursing homes, revalidation centers, disabled care, forensic care and relationship therapy.
The initiative, which was realized in 2019, was made possible through the efforts of MHC who sealed an agreement with Rino Zuid, an education institution in the Netherlands to make the program available in the Dutch Caribbean. This initiative was one of great importance because it expanded specialization opportunities in psychology for Dutch Caribbean based professionals that were previously only possible by relocating to the Netherlands
Through the fostered a partnership of MHF and MHC and other institutes in the Dutch Caribbean, MHF became an accredited health care facility for professional training, which benefitted the two participants of the program. Mrs. Violenus-Salmon was employed at MHF once a week along with fulltime employee Ms. Hasseth to obtained practical training at MHF. The success of this monumental moment took immense cooperation between all parties in the midst of the pandemic to provide continuity and maintain quality of the program.
MHF noted the organization was very proud and commends their graduates for their dedication and notable success. MHF also extended sincere gratitude to their kingdom partners and all individuals involved for their immense efforts and support in realizing this achievement. The Foundation is most pleased that Mental Health needs on St. Maarten can benefit from the professional development of their staff.

Near the end of her incandescent 1976 memoir, The Woman Warrior, Maxine Hong Kingston tells the story of a knot-maker in China who tied a knot so complicated that it made him blind. In response, the emperor outlawed the knot. "If I had lived in China," Kingston tells us, "I would have been an outlaw knot-maker."
Instead, she put her defiant love of complication into knotty books that tie together biography, history, myth, movies and fiction to show us an America that is too often overlooked. Born to Chinese immigrants who ran a laundromat in Stockton, Calif., the 81-year-old Kingston is at once an Asian American writer, a feminist storyteller, a chronicler of immigrant experience and a literary innovator. One of those rare figures who shifted American culture, and who keeps on being relevant, she belongs on the same shelf as James Baldwin, Joan Didion and Kurt Vonnegut.
She's now been placed alongside them in the prestigious Library of America, which has just released a volume that collects, among other great things, her three most famous works: The Woman Warrior, China Men and Tripmaster Monkey: His Fake Book. She tells stories about creating your own identity, not settling for the one the world tries to give you.
This was clear from her first book, The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts, which begins with one of the killer opening lines in American literature: "'You must not tell anyone,' my mother said, 'what I'm about to tell you.'" Naturally, the narrator does tell us. We learn that Maxine's father had a sister who got pregnant out of wedlock, killed herself and her baby in disgrace, and her whole family simply pretended she never existed.
In telling this story she's not supposed to tell us, Kingston underscores a cruel truth about traditional Chinese culture — its oppression of women. She also asserts her right, as an act of self-liberation, to scrutinize her mother's dictates, the ghosts that haunt the Chinese past, and the American values that surround her.
Kingston continued that search for freedom in her more expansive and angrier second book, China Men, which focuses on the experience of the Chinese men who came to the U.S. in search of prosperity only to encounter a racism as ghastly as the misogyny highlighted in The Woman Warrior.
Unlike most writers who tackle such volatile material, Kingston never simplifies. She offers no tear-jerking melodrama, no sentimental clichés about immigrants, no grind-you-down realism. Too original for that, she offers her personal version of storytelling — what the Chinese call "talk-story." She explores the ideas of "Chineseness" and "Americanness" by weaving together far-ranging elements, be it an indelible evocation of her family's laundry, a haunting, movie-laced reverie on her brother heading off to Vietnam, or the inspirational myth of the woman warrior Mulan, whose now-Hollywoodized story first became well known in the West because Kingston wrote about it.
Writing as she damn well pleased, she followed these first two brilliant books with a novel Tripmaster Monkey, which is probably too brilliant. Set in a marvelously evoked early-'60s Bay Area, the book focuses on Wittman Ah Sing, a writer seeking to cook up a workable Chinese American identity from a postmodern salad of influences, tossing together the Beats, the poet Rilke, Hollywood movies, the Chinese epic Journey to the West, and countless other things. While it proved too hip for the room of 1989 America, Tripmaster Monkey crackles with an ambition and brio that's still dazzling.
Although Kingston had her detractors, her transgressive willingness to go for broke made her a pioneering inspiration for the scads of wonderful writers who began mapping the territory she first opened. You can find her footprints in, among others, Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club, Junot Diaz's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Charles Yu's Interior Chinatown and The Sympathizer, by Viet Thanh Nguyen, who edited this collection.
She opened up new territory for readers like me, too. Re-reading these books today, I've been struck by how much of what I now think of as conventional wisdom became so because of her unconventional work. In a way, Maxine Hong Kingston truly is an outlaw knot-maker, but her work doesn't make anyone go blind — it helps us to see.

DHS Chief Mayorkas on the ‘threat landscape’ facing the nation
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - Jon Decker interviewed Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas about threats facing the nation. They also discussed the role of Homeland Security in preventing mass shootings.
Decker asked Sec. Mayorkas about potential Russian cyber threats since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. Sec. Mayorkas explained, “So, we have not experienced them in the United States, but we are very alert to the potential. We’ve been concerned about Russian cyber retaliation in light of our support for the Ukrainian people.”
Secretary Mayorkas has issued five cyber threat warnings since his tenure began. A new warning is forthcoming. He explained, “The information bulletin that we’re going to be releasing covers not just cyber but the threat landscape as a whole that our nation is facing. We call it an NTAS, National Terrorism Advisory System, bulletin, and we speak of the threat landscape.”
That threat landscape includes mass shootings, like the recent tragedies in Uvalde and Buffalo. Says Mayorkas, “Remember the threat predominantly mostly comes from lone actors or loose affiliations of groups. When you see somebody behaving in an unusual manner, don’t just let it slide by. It could actually mean something very significant.” He added, “When you see somebody behaving in a way that gives you concern about their mental stability, their mental health, they’re starting to exhibit signs that may reflect a tendency to become violent, there are things that we can do. That you can call people whom you trust, who have access to resources and intervene and prevent a threat from materializing and protect our schools, our homes, our neighborhoods, our communities. That’s what we’re speaking about.”

- Over 35 distilleries produce hundreds of bourbons along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
- I spent 5 days on the Trail and toured 8 of the most famous distilleries, including Buffalo Trace.
- I tried dozens of whiskeys, and my favorite was Eagle Rare, with its complex yet smooth flavors.
When my editor assigned me an article about the best bourbon, my research quickly made one fact clear: I needed to spend some serious time in Kentucky. After all, 95% of the world's bourbon comes from the state, according to the Kentucky Distillers' Association.
So, I fine-tuned my bourbon palate, talked to all of the experts I could find, packed my bags, and headed to the Bluegrass State. Below are my experiences at a diverse collection of distilleries along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and my favorite whiskeys from each.
MGP of Indiana/Ross & Squibb, Lawrenceburg, Indiana
The distillery
Ross & Squibb Distillery states that it's been around since 1847, but that's a slight exaggeration. Situated on a mile-long campus near the Ohio River, the property owned by MGP of Indiana is built where the town's first distilleries stood beginning in 1847. The property has changed hands several times in the last 175 years, and only starting in the fall of 2021 did it take on the moniker Ross & Squibb Distillery.
MGP has owned the operation since 2013, and it's best known in the bourbon industry for supplying high-quality bourbons to craft distilleries to blend and sell under their own label. MGP doesn't share who its clients are due to non-disclosure agreements, but some distilleries readily advertise that they use MGP bourbon. Though master distiller Ian Stirsman wouldn't give us numbers, he said MGP is one of the four largest bourbon producers in the world.
The tour
MGP doesn't offer public tours, and its campus is not open to the public. Stirsman showed us different parts of the whiskey-making process, from the grain coming off the trucks and the hammer mill breaking the grain down for cooking to the fermenters and the stills. We also got to look around one of the vast warehouses where bourbon barrels are stored to age, called a rickhouse.
The best bourbons and whiskeys
Due to a tight schedule, I couldn't do a tasting on-premises, but Ross & Squibb sent me three of its rye whiskeys to try: Alias (yet to be released), Rossville Union, and Rossville Union Barrel Proof. My favorite was Rossville Union Barrel Proof. The mash bill is similar to some bourbons (51% rye, 45% corn, 4% malted barley.) It had intense baking spice aromas and flavors, especially anise and nutmeg. The caramel sweetness and hints of cocoa just added to the beautiful complexity. And, the finish was long and mellow.
Stirsman's favorite Ross & Squibb bourbon is the Remus Repeal Reserve Series V. Unfortunately, I didn't get samples of it before this was published.
Buffalo Trace, Frankfort
The distillery
Ever heard of Pappy Van Winkle? Or, Blanton's? Eagle Rare? Stagg? All of these highly sought-after bourbons are made by Buffalo Trace Distillery. The distillery has roots dating back to the 1850s and is a National Historic Landmark.
Today, the campus is massive and ever-expanding. And, all of its bourbons are "allocated," meaning bars and retailers only get a limited allotment of each expression. Consequently, there's a good chance you can't just pop into your local liquor store and find Buffalo Trace brands on the shelf. The scarcity makes it a favorite distillery for bourbon hunters. Each morning, there is a long line of people hoping to pick up that day's allotment of Blanton's or other hard-to-find expressions.
The tour
I went on the Behind the Scenes tour, which isn't open to the public but is similar to the Hard Hat Tour (currently unavailable due to construction). However, there are five other Buffalo Trace tours you can book. Tours are free, but you need reservations, which fill up quickly.
Buffalo Trace's tour was my favorite, and it's because of the tour guide. Freddie Johnson is a superstar tour guide. He is a third-generation Buffalo Trace employee and stars in the documentary "Neat: The Story of Bourbon." He told us about the storied history of the distillery and his philosophy on enjoying bourbon. He also showed us through the distillery, including the recently excavated fermenter leftover from when Taylor owned the distillery in the 1870s.
The best bourbons and whiskeys
The final part of the tour is a tasting led by Johnson. The six Buffalo Trace products we tasted were Wheatley Vodka, Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, Blanton's, Bourbon Cream, and Freddie's Root Beer, named after the tour guide.
Blanton's bourbon was the first single barrel bourbon on the market and is a favorite among bourbon lovers. However, my favorite was Eagle Rare. I liked how sweet it is with a toffee aroma and chocolate flavor notes. It coats the tongue and has a long, mild finish. The complex flavor profile made Eagle Rare my favorite bourbon overall. Unfortunately, it wasn't available in the gift shop.
Old Forester, Louisville
The distillery
Old Forester's location on Whiskey Row in Louisville was designed and built with the tourist in mind. Brown-Forman, the maker of Old Forester, doesn't rely on this location for much production. Instead, it's there to provide tours of their process, from fermentation to bottling.
The tour
The Old Forester Tour costs $32 per person. You don't get the raw industrial experience of bourbon production during the guided tour. Instead, you see the process in a slick, made-for-the-public environment with plenty of infographics. My wife liked that she could wear her sandals and a dress for the experience, unlike MGP, where pants, closed-toe shoes, and a hard hat were required wear.
The best bourbons and whiskeys
The final stop on the tour is a guided tasting of Old Forester 1870, 1897, 1910, and 1920. The 1897 was my personal favorite, though the group tended to prefer the 1910. The 1920 is widely regarded as Old Forester's top offering.
1897 was light in color and had a sweet, banana odor evocative of Bananas Foster. The banana flavoring didn't come through on the palate as much as caramel and spice. The smoothness worked its way back along my palate, ending with a long, warm finish.
Heaven Hill Bernheim Distillery, Louisville
The distillery
While you may not recognize Heaven Hill's name, you're likely familiar with its most popular brands: Evan Williams, Elijah Craig, Larceny, Mellow Corn, Henry McKenna, Old Fitzgerald, and more.
The distillery is one of the largest globally, producing 1,300 barrels a day. However, it isn't open to the public. Master distiller Conor O'Driscoll showed us around the operation. There are 17 fermenters of about 124,000 gallons. From 10 mash bills, the company makes more than 100 products of different proofs and ages. There are surprisingly few workers on campus. Instead, much of the work is automated in a state-of-the-art control room.
The tour
O'Driscoll showed us every step of the distilling process. Unlike anywhere else we went on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, we got to taste the ingredients along the way. For instance, the distillate before it goes into the barrel, known as "white dog," was incredibly sweet for how high the alcohol content was. I also sampled the mash as it made its way into the fermenter. It reminded me of porridge.
While Heaven Hill doesn't offer public tours of its Bernheim facility, the Bardstown location does. We toured Bardstown as well (more on that below.)
The best bourbons and whiskeys
Since the Heaven Hill Bernheim location isn't open to the public, they also don't offer tastings. O'Driscoll recommended checking out Expo, a gritty bar on Louisville's Whiskey Row, that makes $5 Old Fashioneds using Mellow Corn. So, I did. It was the best Old Fashioned I've ever had, smooth and refreshing.
Also, ahead of the trip, Heaven Hill sent me nine expressions to sample. My favorite is Henry McKenna Bottled-in-Bond Single Barrel. Aged 10 years, it has a tawny hue to it. Vanilla and oak come through in the nose. Charred oak carries through to the taste and complements the smooth, sweet, honey-like palate. The finish is long and spicy.
Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience, Bardstown
The distillery
Heaven Hill trucks its distillate from the Bernheim location to Bardstown, where it's put in barrels, aged, and bottled. Bardstown is where Heaven Hill started and originally distilled its whiskey until a fire in 1996 destroyed much of the operation.
The tour
The bourbon boom is most apparent in many of the distilleries' slick new visitor centers, such as the Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience. Launched in the fall of 2021, the You Do Bourbon tasting costs $40 per person. A guide leads you through the tasting of three or four exclusive offerings. Afterward, you can choose which you like, bottle and label it yourself, and buy the bottle for an additional fee (prices ranged from $50 to $85 per bottle.)
I wouldn't recommend choosing the You Do Bourbon tour if you don't plan on buying a bottle, since Heaven Hill offers two other tastings that cost less and include more whiskeys. All the tasting options include access to a self-guided tour and a film presentation of the distillery's history.
The best bourbons and whiskeys
We sampled Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey (125 proof), Elijah Craig Bourbon (133.2 proof), and Larceny Bourbon (127.8 proof). All three were barrel proof and small-batch, made from 10 barrels each exclusively for the You Do Bourbon tour. At the end of the tasting, most of the 20 participants chose to bottle and purchase the Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey, my favorite.
The Bernheim had a mash bill of 51% wheat, 37% corn, and 12% barley malt. It was the darkest of the whiskeys, dark mahogany. The nose featured strong wafts of caramel with cinnamon spice that translated to a sweet toffee taste with a bit of fruitiness and a creamy texture. The full-tongue finish was long and warm. A barrel-proof Bernheim Original Wheat isn't on the shelves yet, but it should be available soon. And, non-barrel-proof Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey is widely available.
Castle & Key, Frankfort
The distillery
Castle & Key was the most beautiful distillery I visited. It's no wonder it's a popular wedding venue. Built in 1887 by Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr., Castle & Key was the first distillery designed for tourism. After the distillery closed during Prohibition, it changed hands several times. It fell into ruins until purchased by a lawyer, who the tour guide claimed discovered it after a Google search for "distilleries for sale." In 2014, it cost him under $1 million, though he needed much more money to make it operational again.
Today, Castle & Key is a relatively small operation, producing vodka, gin, and rye American whiskey in addition to bourbon. Much of its rickhouse space is contracted out to other distillers. In March 2022, Castle & Key released its first batch of bourbon (barreled in 2016.)
The tour
I learned all of the above during the 45-minute "The Distillery Experience" tour, a guided tour through the old distillery with much equipment dating back to the 1930s. The tour also covers the grounds, including the gardens and a close-up look at the exterior of a rickhouse. The tour costs $30 and includes tickets for a cocktail and a sample, but the tasting isn't guided.
The best bourbons and whiskeys
Due to the popularity of the distillery and the limited production, Castle & Key bourbon is hard to find, and samples weren't available while I was there. I found it at Vault Liquors & Smokes in Louisville for $130 per bottle. And, down the road from the distillery, The Stave restaurant offered pours.
Castle & Key sent me a sample of its second batch to try. Aged 4 years, it features a mash bill of 73% white corn, 10% rye, and 17% malted barley and has a lighter, golden color. Spices come through in the nose, especially cinnamon, and I could also detect notes of oak and rye. The flavor is complex, smooth, and sugary. It reminded me of sticky toffee pudding. The finish was mild and didn't stick around long. It's a good sipper.
More widely available is Castle & Key Restoration Rye Whiskey. While at the distillery, I tasted the Restoration Rye 2021 Batch 3 and appreciated the orange peel aroma, clove flavoring, and long, warm finish. It was incredibly delicious in the Old Fashioned I ordered with my cocktail ticket.
Four Roses, Lawrenceburg, Kentucky
The distillery
Four Roses started selling bourbon in 1888, and in 1910, it built its Spanish Mission-style distillery. Since then, the brand has traded hands several times and was even discontinued in the United States for several decades. Instead, the brand focused on European and Asian markets. Four Roses made it back to the US in the late 1990s. The mid-size distillery only produces bourbon and no other spirits.
Four Roses uses two high-rye bourbon mash bills and five yeast strains to produce 10 recipes. It makes all of its bourbons from a combination of these recipes.
The tour
Like Heaven Hill, Four Roses recently expanded and opened its visitor center. It includes a gift shop, bar, and interactive display highlighting the distillery's history. Four Roses offers one tour with a tasting and two tasting-only experiences. I went on the Distillery Legacy Tour, costing $22. The tour showed each step of the distillation process. It was a hot, muggy day, and the inside of the distillery was even hotter, so I was dripping sweat by the end. Fortunately, the guided tasting was in the air-conditioned visitor center.
The best bourbons and whiskeys
The tasting featured Four Roses' four primary expressions: its flagship bourbon, Small Batch, Single Barrel, and Small Batch Select, in ascending order of price and proof. I'm not usually a high-end guy, but the Small Batch Select was my favorite. It's made with a blend of 6- and 7-year-old barrels and four Four Roses' recipes. The Small Batch Select was the darkest of the bourbons we tested and had a strong vanilla aroma. The palate was complex with a distinct oak flavoring and notes of chocolate and campfire. The mild finish lingered.
Bardstown Bourbon Company, Bardstown
The distillery
Opening in 2016, Bardstown Bourbon Company is the newest distillery I visited and had the most modern appearance. The campus features 13 rickhouses with more being built. Over 400,000 barrels of whiskey are stored on-premises, with 80% stored for other distilleries. The first whiskeys Bardstown distilled are just now reaching maturity.
The tour
Bardstown Bourbon Company offers 10 different tours, ranging from a facility tour with master distiller Steve Nally to bourbon and food pairings in the snazzy restaurant. I went on the Rickhouse Barrel Thieving tour, which costs $30 per person.
Taking place in a massive, glass-faced rickhouse, the tour was more of a fancy tasting. The guide used a "whiskey thief," a stick that draws samples straight from the barrel, like putting your finger on the end of a drinking straw to extract a beverage. The tasting is unique because most of the bourbon you get in the stores has been filtered and proofed down. These samples were around 125 proof, and you could see sediment floating around.
The best bourbons and whiskeys
We tried a 5-year bottled-in-bond wheated bourbon, 5-year rye bourbon, and 4-year rye whiskey from the barrel. My favorite of these was the wheated bourbon. Mahogany in color, it had oak and banana aromas and a pungent alcohol odor. The bourbon was strong but not unpleasant. It melted on my tongue with a sweet caramel flavor. The finish was surprisingly mellow for such a high-proof bourbon.
None of the whiskeys we tried from the barrel are available for purchase yet. They will be filtered, proofed down (with filtered water), and released in 2023 as part of the distillery's Origin series.
The tasting ended with a sample of Bardstown Bourbon Fusion Series #7 from the bottle. This bourbon is widely available and was lighter in color than the whiskeys out of the barrel but much smoother. It had a sweet caramel nose and palate, similar to the wheated bourbon. The finish was short and mild.
The bottom line
This was my first trip to Kentucky, and I'm already plotting ways to get Insider to send me back. The state is gorgeous, and there's so much to see. We just scratched the surface. And, I have a new favorite bourbon. Since returning to Michigan, I check every liquor store I come across to see if I can find Eagle Rare. So far, no luck. But, in a way, my search is just a continuation of one of the best trips I've been on.

Hanoi (VNA) - The Vietnam Union of Friendship
Organisations (VUFO) on June 7 bestowed its “For peace and friendship among
nations” insignia upon outgoing Australian Ambassador to Vietnam Robyn Mudie for
her contribution to promoting mutual understanding, friendship, and cooperation
between the two nations.Presenting the honour to the diplomat, VUFO President Ambassador Nguyen Phuong Nga said during her second tenure in Vietnam, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Mudie has played a pivotal role in strengthening all-round relations between Vietnam and Australia.
The three-year period saw many visits, interactions, and talks between the two nations’ leaders taking place; and various high-level agreements, including the plan of action for the Vietnam – Australia strategic partnership for 2020-2023, signed and implemented. Notably, their bilateral trade grew strongly to hit 12.4 billion USD in 2021. As of December last year, Australia had 550 investment projects worth nearly 2 billion USD in Vietnam, ranking 19th out of 140 countries and territories investing in the Southeast Asian country.
According to Nga, Mudie has made a very important contribution to promoting the bilateral cooperation in COVID-19 prevention and control. As of December 2021, Australia had committed to provide a comprehensive support package worth 60 million AUD and more than 4.1 million doses of vaccine, becoming Vietnam's second largest vaccine donor.
The Australian ambassador has also dedicated to the countries’ collaboration in increasing Vietnam’s engagement in UN peacekeeping activities, gender equality promotion, and women empowerment, Nga said.
She hoped Mudie will continue such significant contributions to Vietnam-Australia ties in her future posts.
Expressing her honour, the diplomat said she is grateful for the assistance she received while in Vietnam.
She wished the two nations’ relations will grow robustly in the future./. | https://en.vietnamplus.vn/peace-friendship-insignia-conferred-upon-australian-ambassador/229803.vnp | 2022-06-07T18:23:42Z | https://en.vietnamplus.vn/peace-friendship-insignia-conferred-upon-australian-ambassador/229803.vnp | true | 1 |
One Surrey ballpark will benefit from a legacy endowment fund created in memory of Caroline Schellekens, an executive member of Surrey Canadian Baseball Association (SCBA).
The new Lionel Courchene Park Legacy Endowment Fund aims to raise $10,000 for improvements to the Guildford-area park.
The purpose of the fund “is to serve the needs of a growing community and to support minor baseball play in Guildford/Fleetwood communities,” according to a post on surreycares.org.
Schellekens was a registrar with the SCBA, and helped manage teams that involved her son Kyle and husband Craig Joncas, who coached.
At age 53, Schellekens died April 28 after a two-year battle with lung cancer.
“Caroline was loved by all that knew her and she was passionate about giving back to her community,” Joncas stated. “As a lifetime ball player, she enjoyed nothing more than being at the Lionel Courchene park watching our son Kyle play baseball. Being part of the Surrey Canadian Baseball executive brought her great pride, and with the Lionel Courchene Park Legacy Fund she will be able to keep giving back to the community for years to come.”

BJP alleges MVA Govt Is hatching a conspiracy against OBCs
BJP leader Gopichand Padalkar said that MVA is purposely dilly-dallying things to deny reservation to OBCs in local body polls. OBC reservation for local body elections in Maharashtra has still not got the green signal from the Supreme Court. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar had said that he state will follow the example of Madhya Pradesh

Mumbai: BJP leader Gopichand Padalkar has launched a scathing attack on the Maharashtra Government over the long-pending issue of the OBC reservation.
The BJP MLC expressed his disappointment claiming that the Maha Vikas Aghadi government has been purposely delaying OBC's rights due to their inaction.
“Maharashtra Government has been purposely dilly-dallying things when it comes to OBC reservation in local body polls. It is because of their inaction that people from the OBC community are forced to suffer so much. It is not only suppressing the voice of OBCs but also depriving them of their rights," Padalkar said.

“In the last 105 local body elections at least 4 OBC corporators used to get elected per Zila Parishad but now you can calculate how many OBCs will get representations. With OBC reservation not been granted, the number of OBC representatives will be very low. If the OBC representation is reduced then who will voice the issues related to the community," he added.
OBC reservation for local body elections in Maharashtra has still not got the green signal from the Honourable Supreme Court. On the contrary, neighbouring Madhya Pradesh has got the nod for OBC reservation in local body polls because they complied with the SC set formalities.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar had said that the state will follow the example of Madhya Pradesh to get the reservation for OBCs in local body polls.

"Madhya Pradesh has shown us the way to protect reservation for OBCs. We have set up Banthia Committee to collate empirical data on OBCs. Once the report is received in June, we will present our opinion in the court on the lines of the MP government," Pawar said.

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).”

TORONTO, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Tenstorrent is excited to announce that David Bennett is joining the team as Chief Customer Officer. Bennett brings more than a decade and a half of industry experience to the hardware start-up, which is developing next generation computers and AI software.
"Robert Heinlein famously said: 'A human being should be able to change a diaper, conn a ship, set a bone, cook a tasty meal, program a computer, ... etc.' David embodies this philosophy: over the last decade he has started a family, written a book, taught at a Japanese university, started a successful crypto company, and served on the board of Sanrio (the Hello Kitty company) all the while growing his expertise in computing and being a standout sales leader at Lenovo, NEC, and AMD." said Tenstorrent CEO Ljubisa Bajic. "One of the greatest challenges in a tech company's formative years is the transition from being focused on R&D to success in the global marketplace. David's extensive experience will help build Tenstorrent's community of developers and customers and his energy and breadth will help us serve that community well."
Tenstorrent's mission is to bring unique solutions to the problems facing AI and machine learning. Bennett joins the Tenstorrent team at an exciting time in its trajectory as the company expands its team globally to Belgrade and Bangalore.
"What excites me most about Tenstorrent is that its technology scales from a single chip to a thousand chips, and from low power all the way up to megawatt data centers. $1,000 cards to $1m high density racks are powered by a single software stack that supports inference and training and a wide range of models which is a game changer," said Bennett. "I've spoken with Ljubisa and Jim, and we intend to open source the compiler software stack so that our AI developer community can add functionality and also see the inner workings of the stack. We want developers to be able to solve their own problems rather than being blocked by opaque and proprietary solutions."
Being developer focused is core to Tenstorrent's strategy which has expanded to include hardware, open source software and cloud services.
"Tenstorrent has built AI hardware and software that works. We also built an AI cloud so our customers can prototype the product and run production," said Tenstorrent President and CTO Jim Keller. "Additionally, we are now building high performance RISC-V processors to complement AI and advance CPU technology. We're really happy to have David join the team and bring this to market."
Prior to joining Tenstorrent, Bennett served as the President of Lenovo Japan, Japan's largest PC manufacturer. He also served as the CEO of NEC Personal Computers, and as a Global Vice President at Lenovo. He drove Lenovo Legion to the #1 gaming PC OEM in Japan, and oversaw the in-house development of numerous PC products. Before joining Lenovo, he spent twelve years at AMD, finishing his tenure there as the Corporate Vice President and General Manager of AMD's Asia Pacific and Japan region. He ran the worldwide Enterprise and Commercial business for AMD's largest OEM customers including HP, Lenovo, Samsung, NEC and Fujitsu.
While based in Japan, Bennett co-founded and operated Morgenrot KK, a distributed GPU computing company that containerized high density servers in partnership with energy companies around the world to provide cheap and green compute to rendering, machine learning and crypto workloads. He also serves on the board of Sanrio Company Ltd (the Hello Kitty company) and D4 Enterprises, Japan's renowned retro gaming and emulation programming house.
Tenstorrent is a next-generation computing company with the mission of addressing the rapidly growing compute demands for software 2.0.
Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, with U.S. offices in Austin, Texas, and Silicon Valley, and global offices in Belgrade and Bangalore, Tenstorrent brings together experts in the field of computer architecture, ASIC design, advanced systems, and neural network compilers. Tenstorrent is backed by Eclipse Ventures and Real Ventures, among others.

New Denials Management Feature in Remit AI Software Adds Speed, Efficiency To Dental Insurance Verification Process
SAN FRANCISCO, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The denials management feature in Zentist's Remit AI software revolutionizes the way dental support organizations (DSOs) and dental practices utilize Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) while meeting the crucial challenge of dealing with denials.
Claims are commonly returned to dental practices unpaid and under a 'pending' status because they were submitted with insufficient information.While eligibility and coverage issues render some claims unpayable, many more are closed prematurely, leaving hundreds of millions of dollars on the table. This money goes unpaid, to the benefit of the insurance company instead of the patient. According to the National Association of Dental Plans, just 4% of insurance company revenue is used to pay patient benefits.
"Our goal is to help dental practices minimize denials to almost 0 by providing actionable data that improves eligibility and benefit verification and eliminate blind spots in revenue cycle management" said Ato Kasymov, CEO and Co-founder of Zentist.
Remit AI decreases the level of accounts receivable (AR) by cleaning the claims coming from payment information. The software automatically filters all ERAs and Explanations of Benefits (EOBs), gathering and categorizing denials. Remit AI identifies any further actions to be taken before a denial can be resubmitted.
In addition to categorizing denials, users can view denial cause and other data, running analytic reports for any day or month
"We have an enormous ability to control our revenue cycle management process with Remit AI and are excited with the results we achieved with Denials Management. Our team's efficiency to manage claims has at least quadrupled and we have clear data as to how we can improve and drastically reduce claim denials pretty fast," said Semira Avanessian, Director of Revenue Cycle Management for Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Boston Pediatric Dental Group.
"When Remit AI is able to identify the cause of an unpaid claim and solve that problem, preventing other claims from being returned for the same reason, the software pays for itself – eventually tenfold," said Mr. Kasymov.
For more information, please visit https://www.zentist.io/remitai
Zentist is a platform that uses advanced technology to simplify and automate insurance revenue cycle management (RCM) for dental practices. At a time when dental businesses lose an estimated $2.1 billion due to legacy billing systems, Zentist leverages robotic process automation (RPA) and machine learning to place otherwise tedious billing tasks on autopilot. Zentist's platform is fully and easily scalable to meet the more complex billing needs of the modern dental industry—which has been marked by aggressive consolidation and unprecedented pressures for scaling RCM. Its software minimizes human error, maximizes insurance payout, provides advanced analytics on revenue, and improves the patient-provider relationship.

(LifeSiteNews) – A new poll shows that most Canadians have become increasingly concerned that political leaders and media are “purposely trying to mislead people.”
Recently, the global communications firm Edelman released their 2022 Trust Barometer recording public responses to societal institutions and issues, which shows most Canadians distrust mainstream media.
A majority of Canadians believe ‘societal leaders’ are misleading them, with seventy-one percent expressing concern over “fake news being used as a weapon.”
Regarding news and information, more than half of Canadians distrust traditional media, while from forty-nine to twenty-one percent respectively distrust search engines, owned media, and social media.
The report also asked Canadians if they believe certain groups “are purposely trying to mislead people by saying things they know are false or gross exaggerations.”
Sixty-one percent of Canadians agreed regarding journalists, a jump of twelve percent from 2021. Similarly, business and government leaders are distrusted by sixty and fifty-eight percent of Canadian respectively.
Additionally, more than half of Canadians agreed with the statement that Canadians “lack the ability to have constructive and civil debates about issues they disagree on.”
This time last year, Justin Trudeau and his media allies were at the forefront of falsely accusing Catholic institutions of having buried Indigenous children in mass graves at various residential schools across Canada.
There was and is no credible evidence to support these wild accusations, but many Canadians are still unaware of the facts.
SIGN to demand an apology from Justin Trudeau for promoting the "mass grave" smear
The anger generated by the media at home and abroad saw over twenty Canadian churches burned, and extensive damage done to many more, but the record has never been set straight in what amounts to a disinformation campaign.
Terry Glavin at the National Post recently wrote a masterful piece that may go down in history as the definitive “debunking” of the assertions about the mass graves that never were.
Glavin points out that “nothing new was added to the public record” concerning the history of residential schools in Canada.
“The legacy of the schools had already been exhaustively explored in the testimony of hundreds of elders and a series of inquiries, public hearings, criminal cases, settlements and federal investigations going back decades. Most important of these efforts were the widely publicized undertakings of the 2008-2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC), and the content of its voluminous findings,” Glavin wrote.
“…[N]ot a single mass grave was discovered in Canada last year,” he added.
“The several sites of unmarked graves that captured international headlines were either already-known cemeteries, or they remain sites of speculation even now, unverified as genuine grave sites.”
“Not a single child” accounted for during the extensively researched commission “was located in any of these places,” Glavin underscored.
“In none of these places were any human remains unearthed.”
SIGN and SHARE the petition calling on Justin Trudeau to set the record straight.
Even Trudeau's kneeling at what was reported upon as a just-discovered residential school burial ground was a lie - it was actually a well-known Catholic cemetery, but the media didn't let these details get in the way of reinforcing their narrative.
Trudeau also called on Pope Francis to come to Canada and apologize for what had happened, as outlets like Reuters, the New York Times and scores more told the world that “nearly 1000 bodies” had been found in two mass graves.
Those online articles were quietly edited from "mass graves" to "unmarked graves", but we still have the Twitter posts from major outlets like Reuters to prove the staggering level of misinformation.
SIGN: Justin Trudeau must tell Canadians the truth - there were no mass graves
According to an extensive investigation by Professor Emeritus Jacques Rouillard from the Université de Montréal: “The ‘discovery’ was first reported last May 27 (2021) by Tk’emlúps te secwépemc First Nation Chief Rosanne Casimir after an anthropologist, Sarah Beaulieu, used ground-penetrating radar in a search for the remains of children alleged by some to be buried there.”
“Her preliminary report is actually based on depressions and abnormalities in the soil of an apple orchard near the school – not on exhumed remains.”
Professor Rouillard opined that the unverifiable narrative of what could have amounted to child-murder has led to the false assertion of genocide, an assertion without any supporting evidence.
“By never pointing out that it is only a matter of speculation or potentiality, and that no remains have yet been found, governments and the media are simply granting credence to what is really a thesis: the thesis of the ‘disappearance’ of children from residential schools,” Rouillard wrote.
“And all of this is based only on soil abnormalities that could easily be caused by root movements, as the anthropologist herself cautioned in the July 15 press conference.”
The vast majority of Canadians have been misled by the media and Mr. Trudeau, believing the most incredible smears imaginable, leading to scores of attacks on churches around the country.
It's time we heard the truth.
Please sign the petition today.
We are also cc'ing Canada's Catholic bishops on this petition - they must also demand the record be corrected, lest Canadians continue believing the mainstream media's disinformation.

Regarding institutions, Canadians place the most trust in their employers, followed by NGOs, business, government, and finally media.
However, on an individual level, Canadians most trust scientists; journalists, government leaders, and CEOs are last.
Many mainstream media outlets, financially supported in part by the Trudeau government, misrepresented the Freedom Convoy this January. While mainstream media trumpeted claims of the protest being ‘violent,’ evidence showed that this was incorrect.
In February, Canadian and American media outlets, including the left-wing Washington Post, were condemned for using hacked information to allegedly harass individuals who donated to participants of the Freedom Convoy
Additionally, mainstream media routinely ignores or downplays the annual National March for Life in downtown Ottawa. | https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/new-poll-shows-majority-of-canadians-think-journalists-are-purposely-trying-to-mislead-people/ | 2022-06-07T18:30:49Z | https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/new-poll-shows-majority-of-canadians-think-journalists-are-purposely-trying-to-mislead-people/ | false | 7 |
The busiest times of day for security checks at 10 major US airports
(Stacker) - Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or a newbie to flying, everyone can agree that the airport security check line is “hit or miss.” Some travelers arrive when the security lines are packed with flyers anxiously watching the time pass closer to their departure. Others may arrive early to play it safe but end up tediously waiting at their gate for hours.
Although it is never a bad idea to play it safe, knowing the busiest times of the day to go through security can help improve the overall airport experience. Common mistakes that tend to slow flyers down at airport security can be as simple as flying at peak times, choosing the wrong line, or not utilizing apps that can show wait times in real time. Even staying calm and asking staff for help can save you some time.
Stacker ranked the the busiest times of day at 10 major U.S. airports by their maximum average reported wait time in 2022, according to TSA Wait Times, using a combination of government data and traveler-submitted experiences. The busiest airports were identified with FAA data based on total operations from January through April 2022.

NEW YORK – Fertility benefits provider Kindbody said Tuesday that it has acquired genetic testing firm Phosphorus Labs. Under the agreement, the Phosphorus team will join Kindbody to form its new KindLabs division.
According to Kindbody, which owns and operates 28 US fertility clinics, Phosphorus' 8,000-square-foot New Jersey facility will allow it to begin offering its own in-house fertility-oriented genetic tests. Prior to the acquisition, Kindbody had outsourced preimplantation genetic testing and expanded carrier screening.
"With KindLabs, our patients will experience a seamless integration of high-quality genetic testing services," Kindbody CSO Dean Morbeck said in a statement. "In addition to providing an opportunity to bring existing diagnostic testing in house, KindLabs enables us to further our mission to control costs and improve patient experience and outcomes by developing and integrating new diagnostic solutions," he added.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, and the companies did not detail whether Phosphorus' consumer genomics testing will continue. The firm launched an assay last year, called GeneCompass, which covers alterations in more than 400 genes related to cancer and other disease risk, drug response, and traits associated with personal health, and "wellness." | https://www.genomeweb.com/business-news/kindbody-acquires-phosphorus-plans-adapt-lab-fertility-testing | 2022-06-07T18:35:43Z | https://www.genomeweb.com/business-news/kindbody-acquires-phosphorus-plans-adapt-lab-fertility-testing | false | 1 |

A native of West Virginia, Strange was a late-riser on the recruiting scene, not picking up the majority of his offers until the summer before his senior season. He dominated the camp scene, landing offers from Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Penn State all while on visits to the school. Eventually, Strange made the call for the Nittany Lions after officially visiting for the 2018 White Out game against the Buckeyes.
Strange redshirted his first year in Happy Valley, but then broke into the tight end rotation — partly due to Pat Freiermuth’s season-ending surgery — as a redshirt freshman, hauling in 17 receptions in just 7 games. He earned the starting job in 2021, but being part of a trio along with Theo Johnson and Tyler Warren, his stats were limited. He finished his redshirt sophomore year with 20 receptions for 225 yards and 3 touchdowns.

President Biden hosts the Summit of the Americas with top priority of stemming illegal immigration
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - The US is hosting the Summit of the Americas, back after a four year hiatus. The summit brings together leaders from the Western Hemisphere to discuss issues facing the region. Gray White House Correspondent Jon Decker met with Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas before he left for the event.
Decker asked Sec. Mayorkas about President Biden’s top priority of the summit, addressing illegal immigration. Said Mayorkas, “The promise of America is something that shines throughout the world. But most people don’t want to leave their homes.” He added, “They feel they must do so because of economic despair, because of corruption, because of violence... That is what we’re trying to address, together, with the countries throughout the region.”
Sec. Mayorkas has been working directly with Panama and Costa Rica over the last two months to secure cooperation in managing borders and providing humanitarian relief.
Meanwhile in the United States a legal battle is raging over Title 42. Enacted at the urging of the Center for Disease Control at the beginning of the pandemic, Title 42 allowed federal workers to turn back migrants and asylum seekers to prevent the spread of COVID. President Biden now wishes to roll it back. Opponents are concerned this would clog US borders with increased immigrants.
Mayorkas answered the concerns with a plan to have asylum officers hear cases instead of immigration judges. He said, “There are about 1.6 million, 1.7 million cases ending in immigration court. It takes about six to eight years between the time of an asylum claim and the time an immigration judge actually is able to make a final ruling. This would allow immigration officers, people in the Department of Homeland Security to make those judgments, and we could make them in less than a year. It’s really a dramatic change, and one that frankly will improve the system and its efficiency.”
Biden is expected to release a signed declaration of immigration with the support of hemisphere leaders by the end of the summit, which will wrap June 10th.

Gas expected to spike above $5 as experts forecast higher crude oil prices
Published: Jun. 7, 2022 at 12:08 PM CDT|Updated: 1 hours ago
(CNN) - You may want to budget a little more for that summer road trip.
As prices at gas pumps climb near $5 a gallon in most of the United States, the worst may still be to come.
Oil prices are the biggest component affecting gas prices, and Goldman Sachs is now forecasting crude oil will average $140 a barrel this summer.
Oil is currently about $120 a barrel.
It would mean that gas prices would spike even higher, in order to incentivize new production and discourage consumption.
Oil analysts expect the national average price of gas to rise above $5 a gallon in the next week or so.

The network is one of the most significant components of the modern information technology infrastructure. When your computer is connected to a network, other devices can communicate with your computer using the computer name, which is also known as the hostname. If your computer does not have a unique hostname in the network, then you must change it.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to change the hostname in the Ubuntu Linux system.
Table of Contents
Prerequisites
- A computer running Ubuntu Linux distribution.
- A user account with either the root user or the sudo privileges.
- Use a unique system hostname for each computer in the same network. The same hostname for multiple computers can cause problems.
What is a System Hostname
A hostname is a unique name or label of your machine that is used for device identification and network communication. It is assigned automatically when you install your Ubuntu operating system and dynamically assigned to a VM. It is a name by which other machines identify your device. Do not use the same hostname for more than one computer in the same network.
When you work on a command prompt, the hostname reminds you which computer you are working on. You do not have to remember the machine IP address, which may change due to updates in network configuration. You can change the hostname to assign a descriptive name to your device, such as ubuntu-desktop.
The hostnames are classified in the following three categories:
- Static hostname is defined by the user and stored in the /etc/hostname file.
- Pretty hostname is a user-friendly descriptive name that provides more details about the system type and configuration.
- Transient hostname is maintained by the Linux kernel. This hostname can be changed at run time by DHCP or nDNS servers. The default transient hostname is the same as the static hostname.
You should always use a fully-qualified domain name, for example, hostname.example.com.
Display Current Hostname on Ubuntu System
Check the current hostname of your device before you decide to change it. Ubuntu provides hostname
and hostnamectl
commands to check the current hostname.
To display only the hostname of your device, use the hostname command:
hostname
To display hostname along with other important information, such as VM machine ID, computer laptop chassis, Kernel version, and OS architecture, type:
hostnamectl
You can temporarily change the hostname using the following command:
sudo hostname ubuntu-desktop
Change Hostname on Ubuntu (Without Reboot)
To change the hostname permanently on your Ubuntu computer without a system reboot, use the hostnamectl command. Follow these steps to change the hostname on ubuntu:
1. Change the hostname using the set-hostname option as follows:
hostnamectl set-hostname ubuntu-linux
When using hostnamectl set-hostname command you don't need to open and edit /etc/hostname file.
2. Check the new hostname using the hostnamectl command because the hostnamectl does not display any output like the hostname command:
hostnamectl
If you are using a systemd based Ubuntu distribution, such as Ubuntu Linux 16.04 or later, then you can just use the hostnamectl command for changing the hostname.
The basic syntax of the hostnamectl command is as follows:
hostnamectl set-hostname new-hostname
Where new-hostname is the new name that you want to assign to your computer.
To change the hostname from ubuntu-linux to ubuntu-laptop, type:
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname ubuntu-laptop
Change Hostname on Ubuntu (Reboot Required)
You can also change the hostname permanently, by editing the /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts configuration files. However, this procedure requires that you reboot your Ubuntu computer. Follow these steps to change your hostname on Ubuntu by editing the /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts configuration files:
1. Edit the /etc/hostname file using a text editor of your choice:
sudo nano /etc/hostname
2. Replace the old hostname with the new hostname.
3. Edit the /etc/hosts file using an editor of your choice:
sudo nano /etc/hosts
4. Replace the old hostname with the new hostname.
5. Reboot your Ubuntu computer:
reboot
6. Check if the hostname is updated after the reboot:
hostnamectl
Note: If your Ubuntu operating system is installed on a cloud instance and the cloud-init tool is installed, then you also need to edit the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg configuration file. Set the preserve_hostname parameter to true in the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg file before rebooting your computer.
Change the Pretty Hostname
The static hostname is the only hostname that is used for network communication. However, the pretty hostname is displayed only to the user. If you have multiple Ubuntu systems, then the pretty hostname comes in handy. Use the following command to change the pretty hostname on your Ubuntu Linux computer:
hostnamectl set-hostname "My Ubuntu Linux laptop" --pretty
Change Hostname on Ubuntu Using GUI
You can also change the Ubuntu hostname using the Graphical User Interface (GUI) if you are not comfortable with the command-line interface. Follow these steps to change the Ubuntu hostname using GUI:
1. Open Settings and click About.
2. Locate and click the Device Name field:
3. Replace the current hostname with the new hostname:
4. Click Rename.
We are using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS in this tutorial. The screens may be different in other versions of the Ubuntu Linux operating system.
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we learned to change the hostname in Ubuntu Linux. We have described three different methods that you can use to change the hostname- using commands, editing configuration file, and using GUI. You can use any of these procedures based on your requirement. If you do not want to use the command-line interface, then you can use the GUI mode. | https://linuxopsys.com/topics/ubuntu-change-hostname | 2022-06-07T18:43:48Z | https://linuxopsys.com/topics/ubuntu-change-hostname | true | 1 |
I don't know if you've noticed, but the DoJ is slowly drawing the line between Trump and his supporters on charges of seditious conspiracy. Hmm, who did they conspire with? Maybe there are more indictments to come? Oh, I forgot. I'm supposed to wring my hands and gnash my teeth, saying no one will ever be held accountable! Via the Washington Post:
Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, the former longtime chairman of the extremist group Proud Boys, was indicted on a new federal charge of seditious conspiracy with four top lieutenants on Monday. The charges expand the Justice Department’s allegations of organized plotting to oppose through violence the certification of President Biden’s election victory, culminating in the attack on the Capitol by a mob on Jan. 6, 2021.
Tarrio, 38, was not in the District that day but allegedly guided activities from nearby Baltimore as Proud Boys members engaged in the earliest and most aggressive attacks to confront and overwhelm police at several critical points on restricted Capitol grounds. Another defendant, Dominic Pezzola of Rochester, N.Y., broke through the first window of the building at 2:13 p.m. with a stolen police riot shield, authorities said.
A 10-count superseding indictment returned Monday morning charges Tarrio, Pezzola and three other existing defendants — Ethan Nordean of Washington state, Joe Biggs of Florida and Zachary Rehl of Pennsylvania — with “opposing the lawful transfer of presidential power by force,” eventually mustering and coordinating the movements of as many as 300 people around the Capitol that day. The defendants are accused of fomenting and spearheading a riot that stormed the Capitol, eventually forcing the evacuation of Congress as it met to confirm the 2020 election results. | https://crooksandliars.com/2022/06/proud-boys-indicted-doj-charge-seditious | 2022-06-07T18:43:59Z | https://crooksandliars.com/2022/06/proud-boys-indicted-doj-charge-seditious | false | 2 |

VBC’s Propst Arena receives exterior enhancements
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - The Von Braun Center’s (VBC) Propst Arena received exterior enhancements with the completion of a recent construction project.
The project began in December 2021 and finished May 2022, costing $1.4 million.
The first part of the project was cleaning, painting and sanding metal wall panels and trim, textured cement panels, sills, beams, columns, doors and frames of the façade. The exterior color is now the same as the exterior of Rhythm on Monroe and Mars Music Hall.
The second part of the project was the installation of a Lumenpulse LED lighting system. The new lights are located along the beams of the circular bowl, the main entry lobby façade and the interior light boxes inside the lobby.
The work on the exterior walls was the first major maintenance project since 1973.
VBC Executive Director, Steve Maples, said the VBC is a significant contributing factor to Huntsville’s high quality of life.
“With Huntsville being ranked the No. 1 Best Place to Live by U.S. News & World Report, people and businesses are relocating to the area in droves and all eyes are on our fantastic city,” Maples said. “We take our role at the VBC as a large contributing factor for Huntsville’s high quality of life very seriously and will continue to always make sure we’re delivering the highest-quality product in the nicest facility that we can.”

Neighbours star Rob Mills has hinted that fans could be about to see a mystery return for his character Finn Kelly in the final ever episode of the soap.
Speaking as part of an interview on Australian talk show Studio 10, the actor teased that he was on the Neighbours set when they filmed the final ever scene, suggesting that Finn Kelly could be returning in some form before the end of the soap.
"So you were down there yesterday, you shot the last scenes, what happened?" Mills was asked by the talk show hosts.
"Yeah we shot the scenes," Mills teased. "I am absolutely sworn to secrecy [...] but I can say it ends very heartfelt, it ends very beautifully."
Related: Channel 5 planning more Australia-filmed dramas after Neighbours axing
Presenter Sarah Harris then asked Mills if it was difficult to be on set during the filming of the final scene, with Mills replying that it was, especially as some of the crew have worked on the soap for so long.
"There was a celebration with all the crew, some of the crew have been working there for 30, 40 years some of them," he noted.
"Everyone came out for a big photo, we had a big drone show. There were cheers, there were tears."

While Finn Kelly was killed on-screen in 2020, the actor previously reprised his role last year when he appeared as a vision after Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne) used a visualisation technique in order to come to terms with the ordeal she had endured at Finn's hands.
There's no word yet on how Finn Kelly could be making another on-screen return but if he does appear in the final episode he won't be the only familiar face as the soap has already confirmed that its final episode is set to feature 23 returning characters from Neighbours past and present.
"Whether the eighties, nineties, naughties or teens is your favourite decade, we will be delivering something for everyone as Neighbours draws to a close," executive producer Jason Herbison shared in a statement.
"Alongside the current cast we will be celebrating the most memorable characters from across many eras, with a few surprises up our sleeve."
Neighbours will come to an end in early August after 37 years on the air. Channel 5 became its home in the UK after it left the BBC in 2008.
Although the soap has filmed its final scene, production on Neighbours isn't set to come to an official end until Friday (June 10) as scenes are not filmed in order.
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 6pm on Channel 5 and streams on My5. In Australia, the show airs Mondays to Thursdays at 6.30pm on 10 Peach and streams on 10 Play.

Milliman 100 PFI funded status surplus surpasses $100 billion
SEATTLE, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Milliman, Inc., a premier global consulting and actuarial firm, today released the results of its latest Milliman 100 Pension Funding Index (PFI), which analyzes the 100 largest U.S. corporate pension plans.
As of May 31, the Milliman 100 PFI funded ratio rose to 107.0%, from 106.4% at the end of April. The PFI funded ratio has been at least 95% for the last fifteen months.
PFI liabilities decreased for the month, representing a gain of $10 billion for May, while the market value of assets fell by $2 billion as a result of the modest investment return of 0.33%. Overall, these corporate pensions experienced an $8 billion funded status improvement in May, propelling the funded status surplus to $104 billion.
"Corporate pensions crossed the $100 billion funded status surplus mark, a stunning contrast to the past several years when the funding deficit measured several hundred billion dollars," said Zorast Wadia, co-author of the PFI. "Despite down financial markets, discount rates continue their assent and pension plan sponsor balance sheets continue to improve, paving the way for newer risk management strategies."
Looking forward, under an optimistic forecast with rising interest rates (reaching 4.69% by the end of 2022 and 5.29% by the end of 2023) and asset gains (9.9% annual returns), the funded ratio would climb to 115% by the end of 2022 and 131% by the end of 2023. Under a pessimistic forecast (3.99% discount rate at the end of 2022 and 3.39% by the end of 2023 and 1.9% annual returns), the funded ratio would decline to 101% by the end of 2022 and 92% by the end of 2023.

CHARLESTOWN, NEVIS, June 6, 2022 (MMS-SKN) — Federation’s oldest credit union, the Charlestown-based Nevis Co-operative Credit Union (NCCU) Limited has significantly contributed to the country’s financial services sector in the fifty years it has been serving the people of Nevis
President of the Nevis Co-operative Credit Union (NCCU) Limited Mrs. Vernesia Walters made the remarks when she addressed members and other invited guests at its 49th Annual General Meeting that was held at the Nevis Perfuming Arts Centre (NEPAC) at Pinney’s Industrial Site in St. Thomas Parish on Thursday June 2
“The year 2022 is a significant time in our history when we cast our gaze at the birth, growth, development and maturity of the Nevis Co-operative Credit Union Limited and its impact over the past 50 years on the lives of our members and their families,” said President Mrs Vernesia Walters. “It is a time when we come into greater recognition that this indigenous institution is a significant contributor to the financial services sector in St. Kitts and Nevis, and more specifically, the Nevisian economy.
The Credit Union, which was registered on July 25, 1972, is observing year-long celebrations under the theme ‘Consistency, Financial Security & Serving the Community – 50 years of Development and Prosperity’, which kicked off at the beginning of the year.
Treasurer, Mr Brian Carey, announced that even as Covid-19 continued to negatively impact the economy of St. Kitts and Nevis the credit union had recorded a modest financial performance in 2021, with positive growth occurring in all key areas, returning a net operating surplus of $1,672,046.
Members, who last year enjoyed a 5% dividend pay-out on their shares, sat keenly in anticipation waiting to hear the amount of dividend that would be offered to them this year taking into consideration that the net operating surplus in 2021 was slightly lower than that recorded in 2020.
Assistant Treasurer, Mrs Alexa Pemberton, did not disappoint the members: “The Board has decided even though we did not achieve the net income that we were hoping for – the surplus that we were hoping for – but considering that we are in our 50th year and we are celebrating, we have decided to just give a slight increase over last year’s dividend and add fifty percentage point, so this year our recommended dividend for our members is 5.5%.”
When the motion was put to the floor for approval of the payment of the 5.5% dividend, it was quickly moved by member, Mrs Brenda Fyfield, and seconded by another member, Mrs Naomi Brookes, who were both in attendance. Many members who were following the proceedings virtually also participated in all the voting that was done on the floor.
Present at the Annual General Meeting included secondary school students in Nevis and who are sponsored by the Nevis Co-operative Credit Union Limited. They were first introduced to the members by General Manager Mr Sydney Newton who chaired the meeting.
“Thank you for coming and I hope that this experience would be a good one for you,” said President Walters as she asked them to stand to be recognised by the members present and those following the proceedings virtually. “You will learn a little bit more about the Credit Union and it will spark your interest in terms of where we are going, who we are and what we have to offer.”
She added: “The NCCU has proven to be an exemplary corporate citizen offering annual sponsorships and donations to numerous social programmes of public sector institutions and community-based organizations, as well as financing a scholarship programme for the Charlestown and Gingerland Secondary Schools; and subsequently the Nevis Sixth Form College, and CFB College on St. Kitts for the past 35 years, from which sixty-eight students have benefited since its inception in 1986.”
Giving a historical background of the credit union’s growth, the President explained that the co-operative idea, in its infancy (1965 – 1972) struggled to get acceptance and support. She however advised that as at December 31, 2021, the Credit Union had on record a Membership of 6,464; Assets of $164.4 million; Savings Deposits of $137.3 million; Share Capital of $8.7 million; Loans of $104.4 million; and Reserves of $17.7 million.
“So, as we celebrate our Golden Jubilee Anniversary, let us embrace the journey and renew our commitment to the Vision: ‘To be the premier financial institution of members’, and the Mission: ‘Delivering financial products and services that consistently exceed members’ expectations’ of our great institution, and pray God’s guidance and continued blessings on all of our future undertakings,” concluded Mrs Walters. | https://www.thestkittsnevisobserver.com/nccu-continues-to-contribute-to-financial-services-sector-declares-5-5-dividend-on-shares/ | 2022-06-07T18:48:58Z | https://www.thestkittsnevisobserver.com/nccu-continues-to-contribute-to-financial-services-sector-declares-5-5-dividend-on-shares/ | false | 2 |
3 ways the Protestant Reformation reshaped Christianity
“Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” That was the desperate question cried out by the Philippian jailer in Acts 16 after Paul, Silas, and the other prisoners had been miraculously freed by a divine earthquake. Approximately 1,500 years later, it was the exact same question that drove Martin Luther — a Roman Catholic German monk tortured by the weight of his sins before a righteous God — to Romans 1:17. There, finally, he found the glorious doctrine of justification by faith alone.
Luther’s self-wrought chains of perpetual guilt finally fell away. He exclaimed: “I began to understand that the ‘justice of God’ meant justice by which the man lives through God’s gift, namely by faith … Here I felt that I was altogether born again and entered paradise itself through open gates” (Timothy George, Theology of the Reformers, 63).
Yet this soothing balm for Luther’s troubled soul — the biblical teaching that forgiveness and salvation are the free gifts of God, not earned by human merit — would not be constrained to the life and times of one man. No, it would prove to be the spark of the Reformation, lighting what Richard Sibbes called “that fire which all the world shall never be able to quench” (Michael Reeves, The Unquenchable Flame: Discovering the Heart of the Reformation, 191).
By questioning the method of securing God’s grace unto salvation in the life of a Christian, Luther — and subsequent Reformers — struck at the core of the entire Catholic religious and political system. If sinners were made right by God on the basis of His free gift of grace, what need was there to participate in the costly and convoluted system of confession, penance, prayers, pilgrimages, and the purchase of indulgences?
Now, over 500 years after the start of the Reformation, the big picture results are obvious. Part of better appreciating our heritage is understanding how it continues to play out in our lives today. So, let’s take a moment to zoom in and explore how the Reformation specifically reshaped our understanding of:
- The Church
- The role of the pastor
- The administration of the sacraments (baptism and the Lord’s Supper)
How the reformation reshaped the Church
The Reformation reshaped our understanding of the Church in at least two substantial ways. First, it reordered the hierarchy of authority between God’s Word and the Church. Roman Catholic practice and tradition held that the Church, and ultimately the pope, was the highest authority in the life of a Christian, even over Scripture.
But Reformers, like Luther, came to understand that the truth was actually the other way around: “The church, far from having priority over the Scripture, is really the creation of Scripture, born in the womb of Scripture” (George, 82). It was from this doctrine of sola scriptura that Luther and others were able to slowly recover the New Testament vision of the Church as a body of believers, who join together in submission to God’s Word.
A second way the Reformation reshaped our understanding of the Church was by exploring this fundamental question: Who gets to be a part of the local, visible church? Prior to the Reformation, national identity and church membership went hand in hand. Though Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli broke with Rome, they did not dispense with infant baptism as being an acceptable entryway into the life of the Church. And while we have records that Calvin did seek to exclude notable profligates from the Lord’s Supper — “I will die sooner than this hand shall stretch forth the sacred things of the Lord to those who have been judged despisers.”
The belief and practice of believer’s baptism was, in large measure, initially brought into the Reformation mix through figures like Felix Manz, who was drowned for his support of believer’s baptism, and notable Anabaptist leaders like Menno Simons. By preaching and practicing regenerate church membership, along with the belief that “faith does not follow from baptism but baptism from faith,” the Anabaptists placed themselves in the crosshairs of both the mainstream Reformers and the Catholics, suffering severe persecution because of it.
How the Reformation reshaped the role of the pastor
The principle of sola fide (faith alone) dispensed with the need of priestly practices for the absolution of sins. This led to jettisoning the observation of the Catholic Mass as the main purpose for gathering. Thus, the Reformers came to understand that preaching God’s Word rightly to the people in a language they could understand was the primary responsibility of the pastor.
Few Reformers embodied this better than John Calvin. After laboring in Geneva for less than two years, Calvin was, for a time, expelled. Yet just three years later, Geneva asked for him to return. Calvin reluctantly agreed, and in 1541, resumed his role as pastor and walked back into his pulpit. Reeves writes that “the congregation braced themselves for the torrent of anathemas that must surely come from an embittered deportee now given a public voice. Instead, Calvin simply took up the exposition of the next verse which followed his previous passage, from three-and-a-half years before.” Calvin returned with no personal agenda but had come as a preacher of God’s Word. In fact, “Calvin preached more than 200 times per year and lectured through nearly the entire Bible” (Jon Balserak, Calvinism: A Very Short Introduction, 4).
Calvin was no exception amongst the early Reformers, as Zwingli equally prioritized preaching as the primary function of a pastor, claiming, “Lo, here you have the Scripture as master and teacher and guide, not the Fathers, not the misunderstood Church of certain people” (George, 131).
This understanding of the primary role of a pastor continued on through the Puritans, in the likes of Richard Sibbes in the 17th century, to Jonathan Edwards in the 18th century, Charles Spurgeon in the 19th, Martin Lloyd Jones in the 20th, and now to us today, with men like John MacArthur.
How the Reformation reshaped the sacraments
The Roman Catholic Church taught that were seven sacraments: baptism, confirmation, the Mass, penance, marriage, ordination, and last rites, which functioned as “taps of grace” administered by the priests into the life of the Christian (Reeves, 18).
But, with almost universal agreement, the Reformers rejected all but baptism and the Lord’s Supper as authentic sacraments. In their retention of these two, they advocated for a fundamentally different understanding of the nature and purpose of both. Baptism and the Lord’s Supper were no longer a means of receiving faith but rather the expression of a faith already confessed. Luther argued that “You can believe even though you are not baptized, for baptism is nothing more than an eternal sign which reminds us of the divine promise” (George, 93).
Regarding the Lord’s Supper, the Reformers made a radical change in advocating for the masses to receive both the bread and the wine, and on a regular basis. Previously, the practice of the Catholic Church was to perform the sacrament in front of the people, only allowing participation once a year, and even then, just to receive the bread. More significantly, the Reformers rejected the Catholic teaching of transubstantiation, the idea that the bread and wine were transformed in their essence into the literal body and blood of Christ.
Conclusion
The Reformation didn’t just reshape our understandings of the Church, the pastor, and the sacraments, but rather it gave birth to a new ecclesiological and theological tradition. This tradition is one that prioritizes the authority of Scripture over human tradition, God’s divine initiative in salvation over human effort, and the sufficiency of Christ’s saving work over any human works to merit saving grace. I say “new,” but, in fact, it is as old as Christianity itself.
We teach that the Church is under submission to the authority of God’s Word. We prioritize the role of a pastor as an expositor of God’s Word. And we properly administer the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, not as means of saving grace but as “tall guideposts along life’s highway” (George, 94). These Reformation recoveries, this reshaping of our lives and teaching as Christians, have served as guideposts for over 500 years so far. And should the Lord tarry, we trust that they will continue to guide the way for 500 more years yet to come.

Long lines at Madrid airport prompt hiring spree to deal with tourist surge
The long lines in Madrid are similar to problems at airports in Britain, Amsterdam and elsewhere in Europe due to travel resuming as the pandemic eases. To further ease pressure on arrivals, a separate queue will be set up for British tourists, the biggest group of foreign visitors to Spain, so they can use electronic passport gates, a police source said.
Long lines at the Madrid Barajas Airport in recent weeks should ease as the Spanish police work on hiring more staff to deal with the surge in tourism from the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, the government said on Tuesday.
With a reinforcement of 500 new hires, more than 1,700 officials will work at Spain's busiest airports, including in Madrid and Barcelona, to control the flow of foreign tourists that has increased markedly in the past weeks. The long lines in Madrid are similar to problems at airports in Britain, Amsterdam and elsewhere in Europe due to travel resuming as the pandemic eases.
To further ease pressure on arrivals, a separate queue will be set up for British tourists, the biggest group of foreign visitors to Spain, so they can use electronic passport gates, a police source said. British travellers will still need to get their passports stamped after using the electronic gates, the source added.
International Airlines Group's Spanish unit Iberia complained on Monday about delays and chaos at Madrid's Barajas Airport passport control and said around 15,000 of its passengers had missed their flight since March 1. Spanish Interior Ministry denied anyone had missed a flight at the airport, which is operated by Aena SME.
"In recent months the National Police has not registered a single complaint for missed flights," the ministry said in a statement. "There are no queues or delays that go beyond punctual situations generated by the coincidence of several flights from outside the Schengen area," the statement said.
People from within the Schengen area, a group of 26 European countries, which includes Spain, can travel freely without presenting passports. According to the Interior Ministry, around 18.7 million travellers will transit Madrid's Airport in June this year.

The court stenographer in the Johnny Depp defamation lawsuit against the actor’s ex-wife Amber Heard said she witnessed several members of the jury “dozing off” during court proceedings.
In an interview with Law & Crime Network, Judy Bellinger said that at points throughout the six-week trial, jurors in both the front and back rows were falling asleep.
“It was tough because there was a lot of video deposition,” Bellinger said in the interview.
Both Depp and Heard called over a dozen witnesses each, many of whom testified via web video or pre-recorded depositions. Bellinger seemed to imply that these testimonies were often harder to pay attention to than witnesses who spoke live in court.

Bellinger said that when she observed the seven-person jury, she would occasionally see certain members’ “head drop,” as if sleeping.
Otherwise, she said the jury was “very intent” and “listening intently” during the trial.
She also spoke of an alternate jury member who did not join the jury for deliberations, but who Bellinger claimed was more enthusiastic than the rest.
“The one alternate was probably the one that listened the most,” she said. “I watched her facial expressions. She was very deeply into every word that was being said. I thought she would’ve made a great juror but she did not get to see it to the end.”
Bellinger continued, claiming the alternate jury member “was paying close attention” and “never dozed off.”
On June 1, a jury in Fairfax, Va., ruled in favour of Depp, 58, deciding he had in fact been defamed by Heard, 36, on three counts, awarding him US$15 million in damages. This amount was later reduced by the judge to $10.35 million due to state law.
Heard was also awarded a partial win, receiving $2 million on a claim that Depp’s former lawyer and press agent defamed her when he called her domestic abuse allegations against the Pirates of the Caribbean actor “an abuse hoax” designed to capitalize on the #MeToo movement.
Last week, Heard’s lawyer, Elaine Charlson Bredehoft, claimed the Aquaman actor would be appealing the verdict from this trial, adding that she “has some excellent grounds for it.” She said Heard is “absolutely not” able to pay the $10-million judgment. | https://globalnews.ca/news/8902556/johnny-depp-amber-heard-court-stenographer-jury-sleeping/ | 2022-06-07T18:57:22Z | https://globalnews.ca/news/8902556/johnny-depp-amber-heard-court-stenographer-jury-sleeping/ | true | 1 |

DALLAS , June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Office of Career Services at Southern University and A&M College recently partnered with social media screening service, Filtari, to assist students with "cleaning up" their social media profiles before applying for employment. Southern is the first historically Black university in the U.S. to enter into this partnership, taking an active approach in helping students to present a professional look online.
"We understand the impact social media can have on potential career opportunities," said Tamara Montgomery, executive director of career services at Southern. "We invest in our students by providing access to Filtari to help scholars understand the impact that social media can have on their careers and future employment opportunities."
During Southern's Spring Commencement rehearsal in May, 50 graduating seniors were able to participate in the pilot program with Filtari.
According to a 2020 survey from The Harris Poll, 71 percent of U.S. hiring decision-makers agree that looking at candidates' social media profiles is an effective way to screen applicants. Additionally, for those that use social media to vet candidates, 55 percent have found content that caused them to not hire the applicant.
"Everyone makes mistakes on social media," said Spencer Cheng, CEO of Filtari. "It is important for students to understand that those mistakes can have a lasting impact on their future careers. We want to make sure that each student is presenting their best self to prospective employers."
According to the company, "Filtari looks for content that recruiters say are the biggest red flags when reviewing candidates. Filtari's AI-trained system looks for photos and posts containing references to alcohol, drugs, toxic speech, NSFW content, and weapons on the platforms of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Students opt in to authorize their social media profiles and let Filtari's software do the rest."

PMLS, which houses one of the largest variant tracing platforms in the country, can conduct a process called Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) on up to 40,000 samples per week to identify novel variants. That capability allowed their findings of some of the first BA.2, or "Stealth Omicron," variant cases in the states of Florida and South Carolina in February of 2022. The NGS data that PMLS has provided Florida and other states throughout the nation is instrumental in understanding COVID-19 transmission throughout each phase of the pandemic.
While there is another surge in COVID-19 cases due to BA.4 and BA.5, health experts are not expecting an increase in the severity of infections or resulting deaths. But, Columbia University professor of microbiology and immunology, Dr. David Ho warns, "It's a serious threat" due to its transmissibility. He said, "Only a month ago, it was .02 percent," meaning that BA.4 and BA.5 represented just .02 percent of COVID-19 cases in the nation, and now they already make up about 7 % of cases in the US.
One reason for the variants' higher infection rate is that they are more able to evade vaccines and boosters for the virus than previous strains. Dr. Ho recently conducted a study on antibodies present in those who have been vaccinated and boosted, as well as the antibodies of those presenting a natural immune response to BA.4 and BA.5 variants. In this study, they found that that BA.4 and BA.5 viruses are more than four more times likely to penetrate the COVID-19 vaccines and boosters when compared with the highly transmissible BA.2 viruses.
BA.4 and BA.5 originated in South Africa. As of the end of May, BA.4 was identified in 30 countries and BA.5 was detected in 32 countries. Because laboratories like PMLS conduct Next Generation sequencing, scientists, researchers, state health departments, and entities like the Centers of Disease Control can better understand the virus so that vaccines and boosters can be adequately altered to remain effective against the virus.
The BA.4 and BA.5 cases found by PMLS are deidentified, meaning that the names of the patients from which the samples were collected cannot be provided. PMLS will continue to conduct surveillance to help gather vital data on this new omicron subvariant and others and will report any further findings to respective state health departments.
