- Novavax COVID-19 vaccine receives positive vote from U.S. Food and Drug Administration Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee
- If Emergency Use Authorization is granted by the FDA, the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine would become the first protein-based COVID-19 vaccine available in the U.S.
GAITHERSBURG, Md., June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Novavax, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVAX), a biotechnology company dedicated to developing and commercializing next-generation vaccines for serious infectious diseases, today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) voted 21 to 0, with one abstention, to recommend that the FDA grant Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine (NVX-CoV2373) for individuals aged 18 years and over.
"The advisory committee's positive recommendation acknowledges the strength of our data and the importance of a protein-based COVID-19 vaccine developed using an innovative approach to traditional vaccine technology," said Stanley C. Erck, President and Chief Executive Officer, Novavax. "In today's VRBPAC meeting, we heard the overwhelming support for our vaccine from physicians, healthcare organizations, and consumers who are eagerly anticipating a protein-based vaccine option. Consistent with submissions to regulatory authorities worldwide, we have already submitted an amendment with updated manufacturing information for the EUA to the FDA for review. We look forward to collaborating with the FDA as it makes its final decision."
The VRBPAC considered data from the pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial, PREVENT-19, which enrolled approximately 30,000 participants aged 18 years and older in the U.S. and Mexico and was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. In the trial, the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine demonstrated 90.4% efficacy (95% confidence interval [CI], 82.9 to 94.6; P<0.001) with a reassuring safety profile. Serious and severe adverse events were low in number and balanced between vaccine and placebo groups. The most common adverse reactions observed during the trial (frequency category of very common ≥1/10) were headache, nausea or vomiting, myalgia, arthralgia, injection site tenderness/pain, fatigue, and malaise. The data showed that overall the rate of myocarditis was balanced between the vaccine and placebo arms (0.007% and 0.005%) and in the post-crossover portions of Novavax trials the observed cases were all within the expected rate.
The FDA considers the recommendations of VRBPAC when making decisions on EUA.
The Novavax COVID-19 vaccine has received authorization for use in individuals aged 18 and over from more than 40 countries in addition to Emergency Use Listing from the World Health Organization.
Authorization in the U.S.
The Novavax COVID-19 vaccine (NVX-CoV2373) has not yet been authorized for use in the U.S.
About NVX-CoV2373
NVX-CoV2373 is a protein-based vaccine engineered from the genetic sequence of the first strain of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease. The vaccine was created using Novavax' recombinant nanoparticle technology to generate antigen derived from the coronavirus spike (S) protein and is formulated with Novavax' patented saponin-based Matrix-M™ adjuvant to enhance the immune response and stimulate high levels of neutralizing antibodies. NVX-CoV2373 contains purified protein antigen and can neither replicate, nor can it cause COVID-19.
The Novavax COVID-19 vaccine is packaged as a ready-to-use liquid formulation in a vial containing ten doses. The vaccination regimen calls for two 0.5 ml doses (5 mcg antigen and 50 mcg Matrix-M adjuvant) given intramuscularly 21 days apart. The vaccine is stored at 2°- 8° Celsius, enabling the use of existing vaccine supply and cold chain channels. Use of the vaccine should be in accordance with official recommendations.
Novavax has established partnerships for the manufacture, commercialization and distribution of NVX-CoV2373 worldwide. Existing authorizations leverage Novavax' manufacturing partnership with Serum Institute of India, the world's largest vaccine manufacturer by volume. They will later be supplemented with data from additional manufacturing sites throughout Novavax' global supply chain.
About the NVX-CoV2373 Phase 3 Trials
NVX-CoV2373 continues being evaluated in two pivotal Phase 3 trials.
PREVENT-19 (the PRE-fusion protein subunit Vaccine Efficacy Novavax Trial | COVID-19) is a 2:1 randomized, placebo-controlled, observer-blinded trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of NVX-CoV2373 with Matrix-M adjuvant in 29,960 participants 18 years of age and over in 119 locations in the U.S. and Mexico. The primary endpoint for PREVENT-19 was the first occurrence of PCR-confirmed symptomatic (mild, moderate or severe) COVID-19 with onset at least seven days after the second dose in serologically negative (to SARS-CoV-2) adult participants at baseline. The statistical success criterion included a lower bound of 95% CI >30%. A secondary endpoint was the prevention of PCR-confirmed, symptomatic moderate or severe COVID-19. Both endpoints were assessed at least seven days after the second study vaccination in volunteers who had not been previously infected with SARS-CoV-2. In the trial, NVX-CoV2373 achieved 90.4% efficacy overall. It was generally well-tolerated and elicited a robust antibody response after the second dose in both studies. Full results of the trial were published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
The pediatric expansion of PREVENT-19 is a 2:1 randomized, placebo-controlled, observer-blinded trial to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and efficacy of NVX-CoV2373 with Matrix-M adjuvant in 2,247 adolescent participants 12 to 17 years of age in 73 locations in the United States, compared with placebo. In the pediatric trial, NVX-CoV2373 achieved its primary effectiveness endpoint (non-inferiority of the neutralizing antibody response compared to young adult participants 18 through 25 years of age from PREVENT-19) and demonstrated 80% efficacy overall at a time when the Delta variant of concern was the predominant circulating strain in the U.S. Additionally, immune responses were about two-to-three-fold higher in adolescents than in adults against all variants studied.
PREVENT-19 is being conducted with support from the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health at HHS. BARDA is providing up to $1.75 billion under a Department of Defense agreement (# MCDC2011-001).
Additionally, a trial conducted in the U.K. with 14,039 participants aged 18 years and over was designed as a randomized, placebo-controlled, observer-blinded study and achieved overall efficacy of 89.7%. The primary endpoint was based on the first occurrence of PCR-confirmed symptomatic (mild, moderate or severe) COVID-19 with onset at least seven days after the second study vaccination in serologically negative (to SARS-CoV-2) adult participants at baseline. Full results of the trial were published in NEJM.
About Matrix-M™ Adjuvant
Novavax' patented saponin-based Matrix-M adjuvant has demonstrated a potent and well-tolerated effect by stimulating the entry of antigen-presenting cells into the injection site and enhancing antigen presentation in local lymph nodes, boosting immune response.

MCU fans name the one thing they’d change about ‘Avengers: Endgame’
Avengers: Endgame might be the biggest movie of all time, but that doesn’t mean fans unconditionally adore it. It would’ve been impossible for Marvel Studios to match the cosmically high bar MCU lovers had set for the final chapter of the Infinity Saga, so it’s no surprise that many elements of the Russo Brothers’ three-hour epic proved to be controversial when the movie dropped in spring 2019. And they’re still controversial three years later.
Redditor Officialwashere reawakened the fandom’s frustrations with Endgame by asking the denizens of the Marvel Studios subreddit to name the one thing they would want to change about the film. For instance, the OP suggested some further use of Past Thanos and switching Hawkeye and Black Widow’s fates.
As fans have so many things they’d love to change about Endgame, however, practically every comment that followed went with a different suggestion. For starters, one Redditor wishes Drax got to battle Thanos.
Having the OG Ant-Man and Wasp in the final fight would’ve been cool, right?
Some are still smarting from the lack of a funeral for Natasha.
And the hurt of Smart Hulk’s transformation happening off-screen has never gone away.
A bigger role for the Black Order would’ve been good, too.
Why did they make Chris Evans whisper the line we’d been waiting 10 years to hear?
Some TV crossovers would’ve been the icing on the cake.
Steve’s decision to retire and remain in the past will never not wind up a lot of fans.
While there’s a whole lot that folks might’ve wished had been done differently, then, we should be thankful that Marvel still managed to pull off such a satisfying spectacle of a movie, as Avengers: Endgame could’ve easily gone down as infamously as, say, the Game of Thrones finale or Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Even so, it’s clear that fans are going to be holding on to these bug bears for a long while yet. | https://wegotthiscovered.com/news/mcu-fans-name-the-one-thing-theyd-change-about-avengers-endgame/ | 2022-06-07T22:33:02Z | https://wegotthiscovered.com/news/mcu-fans-name-the-one-thing-theyd-change-about-avengers-endgame/ | false | 1 |

(NEXSTAR) — A drag show at a Dallas-area gay bar over the weekend is causing a stir and discussion over whether or not kids should be around drag events – it’s the latest in a storied battle.
Viral videos circulated on Monday appear to show a few children with adult guardians at a club while a drag queen danced to an Ariana Grande song. The event, held at the Mr. Misster club in Cedar Springs, Texas, was called “Drag Your Kids to Pride” and was advertised as a “family friendly” edition of its weekly drag queen brunch events, NBC News explains.
The event was met with protesters outside the venue and many took issue with a neon sign seen behind the dancers reading, “It’s Not Gonna Lick Itself.” Protesters held signs reading “Stop Grooming the Kids,” LGBTQ+ news outlet Them reports. Mr. Misster did not immediately respond for comment.
On Monday, Texas Rep. Bryan Slaton (R-Mineola) said he will introduce legislation that will ban minors from drag shows. In a letter, Slaton called parents who take their kids to events with drag queens “perverted adults” who are “obsessed with sexualizing young children.”
Several non-Texan Republican leaders spoke out about the event, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, the latter of whom urged taking children to church. Meanwhile, LGBTQ and equality advocates have condemned Slaton’s comments as targeted harassment.
In a statement to the Advocate, Equality Texas CEO Ricardo Martinez said in part: “In a state that has a history of being openly hostile to LGBTQ+ people, drag shows have been creating safe places for our community for nearly a century. As early as the 1930s there was a thriving drag scene in San Antonio.”
Many have taken issue with certain lawmakers’ seemingly prioritizing drag queen shows over gun legislation in the wake of the Robb Elementary School mass shooting in Uvalde just weeks ago. The shooting left 19 children and two teachers dead and reignited calls for lawmakers to do more about guns – particularly members of the Republican party, who have highlighted mental health and school security instead.
In a tweet on Monday, Texas Democrats tweeted: “Seems like there are a few more pressing things we should be doing to actually look out for the well-being of Texas children.”
Transgender activist and writer Charlotte Clymer, in a satiric tweet, wrote: “My kid is never going to a drag show. It’s inappropriate for fully-clothed drag artists to dance in front of kids. Instead, I’m taking him to an NFL game where he can sit beside me as I drink and watch a cheerleader twerk in her cowgirl boots at midfield.”
The intersection of drag queens and children has been a hot topic nationwide for years, in particular, “Drag Queen Story Hour,” which are typically library-set reading times hosted by a drag queen. As recently as Monday, the mayor of Apex, North Carolina, ordered the cancelation of one such event at the city’s Pride Festival after alleged complaints.
Drag Queen Story Hour is a chapter-led organization that says it aims to “capture the imagination and play of gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive and unabashedly queer role models.”
Questions about drag have arisen in conversations around transgender identities, as the two are often conflated, despite having two different meanings. In its most basic sense, “drag” typically refers to an art form of men (either heterosexual or queer) dressing as women for theater – a tradition that dates back to Shakespearean days, BBC reports.
Trans people have been integral to the development of drag, particularly American performers like activist and Gay Liberation Front co-founder Marsha P. Johnson, who were at the forefront of LGBTQ+ civil rights in 1970s New York City
Often, drag queens use their drag for more serious activism and even light-hearted comedy. It’s important to note that the art form of drag is not inherently sexual or tied to any one sexual orientation or identity.
As Metro reports, “transvestic fetishism” is the practice of a person dressing as the opposite sex for arousal. The sexualities and gender identities of people who participate in the activity are wide and not generally tied to drag. In the mainstream, TV shows like “RuPaul’s Drag Race” have helped dispel previous notions of drag queens to wide audiences.
Many of these different terms and concepts have been used interchangeably amid recent legislation across the U.S.
In March, Florida passed its House Bill 1557, referred to as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which not only prevents teachers from discussing LGBTQ+ issues in classrooms, but allows parents/guardians to sue teachers and/or schools who discuss these topics. In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott previously directed the state’s Department of Family and Protect Services to investigate parents who help their kids get gender-affirming care.
Meanwhile, Louisiana’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act became law, despite opposition and lack of signature by Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards. The act requires K-12 schools to assign sports teams based on biological sex assigned at birth. | https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/national-news/dallas-drag-queen-event-for-kids-sparks-outrage-defense/ | 2022-06-07T22:40:05Z | https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/national-news/dallas-drag-queen-event-for-kids-sparks-outrage-defense/ | false | 23 |
The Steelers have not yet made an offer to receiver Diontae Johnson, Aditi Kinkhabwala of 93.7 The Fan reports. But Johnson is participating in the team’s mandatory minicamp this week anyway after working during the voluntary organized team activities last week.
“I’m just here to work, do what I’m told and get the job done. That’s pretty much my focus,” Johnson said in video from the team.
Johnson, 25, enters the final year of his four-year rookie deal scheduled to make $2.79 million for his final season. Chase Claypool becomes eligible for a contract extension after the 2022 season, so the Steelers could have a decision to make between the receivers after receiver contracts skyrocketed this offseason.
In 2012, the Steelers went through something similar. Receiver Mike Wallace rejected a five-year, $50 million contract from the Steelers, and they instead signed Antonio Brown to a five-year, $42.5 million deal later that summer.
Johnson said he will “hope for the best.”
“If the contract comes this year, it comes. If it don’t, it don’t,” he said. “I’m just ready to play football.”
The Dolphins made Tyreek Hill the highest-paid wide receiver this offseason with a deal that averages $30 million per year with $52.5 million fully guaranteed. Davante Adams received a deal worth $28 million per year with $22.7 million fully guaranteed after the trade to the Raiders.
Ten receivers now have deals that average more than $20 million a season, including seven that signed this offseason.
“It’s not like you don’t see it,” Johnson said. “You see it. A bell rings in your head like, such and such got this and such and such got that. I try not to look at that or pocket watch. Whoever gets the contract, they deserve it. They obviously put in the time and work. My time is going to come. Just being patient. If it comes this year, it’s a blessing. If it don’t, keep working.”
The Steelers’ policy is not to negotiate contracts once the season begins, so three months remain to get an extension completed with Johnson if they have intentions of signing him to one before 2023.
Johnson, 25, earned his first Pro Bowl last season, and in three seasons, he has 254 receptions for 2,764 yards and 20 touchdowns. Johnson said “film don’t lie” but insists he is patient.
“I’m not really worried about that,” Johnson said. “There’s a lot of stuff going on out there saying certain stuff about me, but at the end of the day, I can only move forward and control what I can control. I want to be here. I’m patient. I’m going to keep working. My agent is going to do what he do with that situation. I’m not trying to focus on that.” | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/06/07/diontae-johnson-unconcerned-about-contract-but-hopes-to-stay-in-pittsburgh-long-term/ | 2022-06-07T22:41:04Z | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/06/07/diontae-johnson-unconcerned-about-contract-but-hopes-to-stay-in-pittsburgh-long-term/ | true | 1 |

Cloud data protection and management technology developer Rubrik Monday introduced Chris Krebs, the former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, as the chairperson of the company’s new Chief Information Security Officer Advisory Board.
Rubrik’s newly formed CISO Advisory Board is aimed at helping private and public sector organizations find better ways to protect themselves from cyberattacks, said Bipul Sinha, co-founder and CEO of the Palo Alto, Calif.-based company.
Krebs, who headed the CISA from 2018 to 2020 and who last year helped SolarWinds in its recovery from a Russian hacking campaign, brings the kind of expertise to Rubrik to help advance the company’s cybersecurity capabilities, particularly against ransomware, which has become the biggest threat to the economy and to users’ digital lives, Sinha told CRN US.
“We are very fortunate to have Chris Krebs as the chairman of the CISO Advisory Board that we are putting together,” he said. “The goal of this Advisory Board is to facilitate information exchange around best practices in data security to advance the cybersecurity space overall, and provide thought leadership in advancing data security market product road maps, and also provide input to the Rubrik product team on where we should put more energy and time.”
Krebs, as a former director of the CISA, brings a very wide perspective around cybersecurity, with experience in protecting the U.S. and its elections, Sinha said. Krebs knows the importance of bringing together the private and public sectors, which is important because cybersecurity is critical in protecting against things like cyberwarfare and industrial espionage, he said.
Rubrik and Krebs will build this Advisory Board to look at new technologies that can be applied to cybersecurity, including machine intelligence and artificial intelligence to derive security intelligence, and from there to build resiliency, recovery and observability, Sinha said.
“So there’s a lot of new thinking,” he said. “And coming from the vantage point that Chris comes from, it is a tremendous advantage to Rubrik and to also the marketplace and the industry.”
Krebs told CRN that he has deliberately avoided taking on too many roles since he left the U.S. government in November 2020 despite being approached by a large number of companies, although he does serve as a board advisor with SentinelOne.
Krebs met Sinha at an event last year after hearing from friends who told him to keep an eye on Rubrik.
“As I was continuing to think about what do I want to do when I grow up, what do I want to do in my post-CISA life, I really started thinking about, where do I see the gaps in the marketplace?” he said.
Every organisation needs a strong identity solution, whether it’s multifactor authentication, identity and access management, privileged access management, vulnerability management, the ability to monitor networks ,and incident response, he said.
“It’s a highly saturated market, constantly evolving, constantly acquiring and re-acquiring,” he said.
“The last piece is data recovery, the ability to recover after a ransomware event, or any other significant catastrophic data destruction or data deletion attack,” he said. “And there was this dearth of innovation. It wasn’t the place that we saw a bunch of companies flowing into. So as I continued to learn more and more about Rubrik, it really made sense to me that there’s a security-focused solution here that’s threat informed by what’s happened over the last five years with the increase in ransomware.”
Rubrik’s ransomware approach is unique in its focus on more than data recovery, Krebs said. The company is also focusing on developing digital twins technology to enhance resiliency so that updates and patches can be done without taking a system down, as well as its approach to DataOps and data observability, he said.
“The ability to look into your data and your operations and see what’s happening to detect leaks, to detect any sort of underperforming operations, this all just goes back to a point that Bipul really started to stress about the resilience of an organisation,” he said. “So moving away from that perimeter base, the moats and walls, to more of a layered defence, assume a breach [happened]. It’s really pulling it down to the crown jewel level of the data you’re seeking to protect, data the bad guys are going after.”
Rubrik’s new CISO Advisory Board will take the company beyond the industry’s traditional cybersecurity focus on infrastructure security, Sinha said.
“When you’re doing pioneering new work in a new market or new space, you can’t be totally internally focused,” he said. “You need to bring in leaders who have broader perspectives outside-in, and who is a better leader, who is a better expert, who has a better background, than Chris Krebs?”
Krebs said that as he starts his new role at Rubrik, he will first look broadly at what industry sectors and segments the company will focus on, and they will likely include industrial automation, hospitals, schools, state and local government agencies, all of which are ransomware and cyberattack targets.
“So we have objectives,” he said. “We have intended outcomes we’re trying to seek here. So the unknowns right now, or at least the questions that we remain to have to answer are, what is the complexion of the board? What is our international makeup? And what are the sectors and segments? ... As Bipul said, this is not just for internal analysis. This is really trying to get a sense of where are CISOs’ challenges? What are the gaps that they have in the market? What can we do to make products easier for them to deploy and to use?” | https://www.crn.com.au/news/former-white-house-official-chris-krebs-to-advise-rubrik-on-cybersecurity-580999?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=crn+ | 2022-06-07T22:42:07Z | https://www.crn.com.au/news/former-white-house-official-chris-krebs-to-advise-rubrik-on-cybersecurity-580999?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=crn+ | true | 2 |

PHOENIX (AP) — A Phoenix suburb is reviewing how it handles water rescues, in response to public outcry over a video showing three police officers declining to help as a homeless man drowns.
The Tempe Police Department says the officers are on paid administrative leave after last month’s drowning in a city lake.
An uproar arose Friday after Tempe police released edited footage from officers’ body cameras as well as a transcript of the May 28 incident.
The video shows Sean Bickings, 34, climb over a 4-foot fence along Tempe Town Lake. An officer tells him swimming is not permitted. Bickings then goes into the water and starts swimming. Another officer tells police to watch him while he goes to get a boat.
The video ends there. But the transcript shows two officers repeatedly tell Bickings to swim to a pylon and “hold on.” Bickings continuously says “I can’t” and pleads for help.
At one point, one of the officers says: “I’m not jumping in after you.”
Bickings swam roughly 40 yards under a pedestrian bridge, city officials said.
The Tempe Officers Association said the public needs to understand officers are not trained for water rescues. Instead, the officers followed their training and went to get a boat.
In a news release Monday, the city said officials will reevaluate the protocols around water rescues. They will also look at where rescue equipment such as life preservers should be placed relative to the lake or any body of water.
Police were originally responding to reports of a fight just after 5 a.m. between Bickings and a female companion. When questioned, both denied any physical altercation had taken place. But officers ran their names through a background check and found Bickings had three outstanding warrants.
Authorities say that is when Bickings climbed over the fence. According to the transcript, his companion, who said Bickings was her husband, tried to go after him but officers kept her back.
Firefighters recovered Bickings’ body and pronounced him dead.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety and police in the neighboring suburb of Scottsdale are investigating the police response.
Police Chief Jeff Glover met with Bickings’ mother last week. She had asked for any video to be released, the city said.
Tempe Town Lake is more than 2 miles long and was built in 1999 by damming a portion of the Salt River. It is a popular spot for jogging, biking, kayaking and other recreational activities. | https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/southwest/arizona-officers-inaction-during-drowning-spurs-probe/ | 2022-06-07T22:45:01Z | https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/southwest/arizona-officers-inaction-during-drowning-spurs-probe/ | true | 31 |

Love Island fans spotted a very awkward moment in the villa during Tuesday night's episode of the ITV2 dating show.
The Islanders have only been in the villa for a matter of days but it seems like a love triangle is already forming between Tasha Ghouri, Andrew Le Page and Luca Bish.
Thanks to the voting public, Tasha and Andrew were coupled up together during Monday night's opening episode - with Tasha not too impressed with the matchmaking skills of Love Island viewers at first.
But the reality TV star has seemingly had a change of heart, with Tuesday night's episode showing her cuddling up with Andrew in bed and laying on his chest.
Eagle-eyed viewers spotted an awkward onlooker during the tender moment, with Andrew's love rival Luca Bish - who is coupled up with Paige Thorne - was watching on from the other side of the room with a gloomy look across his face.
"Luca did NOT wanna be in that bed with Paige, he was staring at Tasha," one fan joked on Twitter as the show aired, with another noting: "luca sat up in bed watching tasha getting cuddles from someone else."
After spending the night with estate agent Andrew, Tasha seemed to be considering giving things a go with the partner the public picked for her
"I woke up and he was awake as well. He had a little smile and then he put his arm around me and we started cuddling," she confessed in the Beach Hut.
"It felt so nice. I was like a Cheshire cat, I needed to stop grinning!"
However, after a chat with Luca later on in the episode, the blonde beauty admitted her head could be turned.
"Andrew is giving me good vibes and good energy. But Luca seems very sweet," Tasha mused to the cameras on Tuesday night.
Luca seems to agree the pair could make a good match, telling the Beach Hut cameras: "I think there could be something there."
The fishmonger went on to confront Tasha about her cosy night in bed with her partner, joking: "Did you have a nice spoon last night, did you?"
Tasha went on to hit back with a cheeky: "You don't wish it was you?"
Elsewhere on Tuesday night's episode, things got dramatic when bombshell Davide Sanclimenti picked Gemma Owen to couple up with - leaving Liam Llewellyn single and at risk of going home early.
New villa arrival Davide entered the show later than the others on the first night, with the public already having selected who they wanted to partner up to start off the series. Gemma was paired with Liam, but when Davide entered, he made no secret of the fact he liked her.
Following an intense day of flirting, Davide set his sights on one of three girls - Gemma, Tasha Ghouri and Paige Thorne - but ultimately he decided to go with Gemma and a new couple was formed.
But drama didn't end there, with the episode closing by revealing Afia and Ekin-Su will be heading into the villa, with the public tasked with choosing who they want them to go on a date with.

Iran has carried out a mass execution of 12 inmates at a prison in the southeast part of the country, an NGO said on Tuesday, as concern grows over the rising number of executions in the Islamic republic.
The 11 men and one woman, convicted either on drug-related or murder charges, were hanged on Monday morning in the main prison of Zahedan in Sistan-Baluchestan province close to the borders with Afghanistan and Pakistan, Norway-based Iran Human Rights (IHR) said.
They were all members of the Baluch ethnic minority who mainly adhere to the Sunni strain of Islam rather than the Shiism that is dominant in Iran, it added.
Of the 12, six were sentenced to death for drug-related charges and six were sentenced for murder. None of the executions had been reported by domestic media or confirmed by officials in Iran, it said.
The woman who was executed, identified only by her surname Gargij, was sentenced for the murder of her husband and arrested in 2019, it said.
Activists have long expressed concern that executions in Iran disproportionately target members of Iran's ethnic and religious minorities, notably Kurds in the northwest, Arabs in the southwest and Baluch in the southeast.
"Data gathered by Iran Human Rights shows that Baluch prisoners accounted for 21% of all executions in 2021, while only representing 2-6% of Iran's population," IHR added.
There has also been concern over a recent upsurge of executions in Iran, as the country's leaders are confronted with protests over the increase in prices for basic goods.
According to IHR, at least 333 people were executed in Iran in 2021, a 25% increase compared with 2020.
Amnesty International, in its annual report on use of the death penalty worldwide, said executions in 2021 rose by 28% in Iran compared to the previous year to 314 but warned that the figure was likely an underestimate.
"Death sentences were used disproportionately against members of ethnic minorities for vague charges … and as a tool of political repression," Amnesty charged. | https://www.voanews.com/a/iran-executes-12-prisoners-rights-group-says/6607359.html | 2022-06-07T22:47:53Z | https://www.voanews.com/a/iran-executes-12-prisoners-rights-group-says/6607359.html | true | 8 |
Sunday shows preview: Lawmakers debate gun control measures
The ongoing debate over gun control is expected to dominate this week’s Sunday show circuit, with lawmakers from both parties set to appear on the networks as Congress attempts to reach a deal on gun reform.
High-profile shootings at a supermarket in Buffalo, N.Y., an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas and a hospital in Tulsa, Okla., have reignited discussions about how to prevent future gun violence. The gunman at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde killed 19 students and two teachers in the deadliest school shooting since the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Connecticut in 2012.
Congressional Democrats have renewed their push to pass additional regulations on firearms as two major pieces of legislation that would expand background checks have stalled in the Senate after passing the House last year. Members of both chambers of Congress have been working on potential gun legislation in recent days. The conversations center around expanding background checks and passing red flag laws, which would allow others to petition for an individual’s firearms to be temporarily removed if they might pose a threat to themselves or others.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), who previously represented the district where the Sandy Hook shooting occurred in the House before joining the Senate, has been a prominent voice in the push for gun legislation. Murphy, who will appear on CNN’s “State of the Union,” has said there is “growing momentum” for gun violence legislation based on conversations he has had as part of a bipartisan group of nine senators working on a deal.
Murphy scolded his colleagues last month for their inaction following the Uvalde shooting, saying that these types of incidents “only happens in this country.”
“I’m here on this floor to beg — to literally get down on my hands and knees and beg my colleagues — find a path forward here. Work with us to find a way to pass laws that make this less likely,” Murphy said the day the shooting happened.
Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), who is also a member of the bipartisan group seeking an agreement, worked with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) after the Sandy Hook shooting to craft a bill to expand background checks in advance of gun sales, but the bill did not get the necessary 60 votes in the Senate necessary to overcome a Republican-led filibuster.
“I strongly believe that requiring background checks on all commercial sales of firearms is a completely reasonable policy that does not infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of law abiding citizens,” Toomey tweeted last month.
He will appear on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) will also be on the show. Schiff introduced the Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act in 2019 to remove civil liability from gun manufacturers when their products are used in crimes.
Schiff called on Congress to act on gun legislation last month after a gunman shot multiple people at a church in California, one day after the Buffalo shooting.
Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) said last month following the Uvalde shooting that these mass shootings are “an American problem that it seems many lawmakers refuse to solve.” The congressional district that Escobar represents includes El Paso, which was the site of a mass shooting at a Walmart in 2019 that killed 23 and injured more than 20 others.
“And the problem is that firearm homicides have increased 40 percent for people between the ages 10 and 24 years old in America. Those are the stats for 2020. It’s unacceptable, and I can’t believe lawmakers refuse to act,” Escobar said in an interview with CNN.
She will appear on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
On the other side of the political aisle, Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.) has said the United States should “absolutely” expand background checks to keep weapons out of the hands of potential shooters. Rice, who will be on ABC’s “This Week,” said in an interview with The Sun News, a newspaper in Myrtle Beach, S.C., that he supports giving law enforcement officials more access to an FBI database that notes when individuals have interacted with police.
“Our country needs to come together and do everything we can to stop this from happening again,” he tweeted after the Uvalde shooting. “Our children deserve better.”
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) has remained a staunch supporter of gun rights after being shot at a congressional baseball game in 2017. He will appear on “Fox News Sunday.”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who will appear on “Sunday Morning Features,” has rejected Democrats’ calls for passing gun control legislation.
Below is the full list of guests scheduled to appear on this week’s Sunday talk shows:
ABC’s “This Week” — Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg; Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C).
CBS’s “Face the Nation” — Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.); Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.); Dr. Walter Koroshetz, director of the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

“We can’t truly be leaders if we are only living for reelection,” said Matthew McConaughey at Tuesday’s White House briefing.
A native of Uvadale, Texas, Matthew McConaughey was on hand to plea for gun reform during Washington’s daily briefing in the White House’s James S. Brady Press Briefing Room June 7.
“We’ve got to look in the mirror, lead with humility and acknowledge the values that are inherent to but also above politics,” the actor, activist, and almost-Texas-gubernatorial candidate offered. “We got to make choices, make stands, embrace new ideas, and preserve the traditions that can create true, true progress for the next generation.”
McConaughey didn’t hold back, tearing up as he spoke of the victims in his hometown’s Robb Elementary School. “We got to get some real courage and honor our mortal obligations instead of our party affiliations and enough with the counterpunching.” he continued. “We can’t truly be leaders if we’re only live in for reelection.”
As the national debate over gun reform takes center stage once more, McConaughey is urging lawmakers to give Americans “good reason to believe that the American dream is not an illusion.”

“We need to restore our family values. We need to restore our American values. And we need responsible gun ownership,” he adds, saying lawmakers can only do so if both sides of the aisle “work together.”
“This should be a non-partisan issue. There is not a Democratic or Republican value in one single act of the shooters. There is not. But people in power have failed to act. We are asking you, I’m asking you, will you please ask yourselves, can both sides rise above? Can both sides see beyond the political problem at hand and admit that we have a life preservation problem on our hands?” the actor continues.
McConaughey held several powerful visual aids during his emotional plea. Two featured 10-year-old Alithea Ramirez, a victim of the mass shooting. Alithea was an artist, he said as he held one of her drawings with permission from her parents. Alithea “dreamed of going to art school in Paris,” a dream that was cut short by the massacre.
“My wife and I, Camila, we spent most of last week on the ground with the families in Uvalde, Texas. We shared stories, tears and memories, the common thread, independent of the anger and the confusion, sadness … How can these families continue to honor these deaths by keeping the dreams of these children and teachers alive? How can a loss of these lives matter?” he asked.
‘We need background checks. We need to raise the minimum age to purchase an ar-15 rifle to 21.
McConaughey also calls for more mental health programs alongside background checks. Raising the age to buy assault weapons to 21, and red flag laws, he says are also crucial steps.
‘We need background checks. We need to raise the minimum age to purchase an ar-15 rifle to 21,” he pleaded. In addition, a “waiting period for those rifles … And red flag laws and consequences for those who abused them,” he continues.
For McConaughey’s part, “Responsible gun owners are fed up with the Second Amendment being abused and hijacked by some deranged individuals. These regulations are not a step back. They’re a step forward for civil society and and the Second Amendment.”
In the end, the actor believes “something is different” this time. “There is a sense that perhaps there’s a viable path forward. Responsible parties in this debate seem to at least be committed to sitting down and having a real conversation about a new and improved path forward.” | https://outsider.com/news/watch-matthew-mcconaughey-tears-up-during-white-house-speech-guns-following-uvalde-texas-shooting/ | 2022-06-07T22:48:40Z | https://outsider.com/news/watch-matthew-mcconaughey-tears-up-during-white-house-speech-guns-following-uvalde-texas-shooting/ | false | 1 |
BESSEMER, Ala., June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- American Pharmacy Cooperative, Inc. (APCI) applauds the decision by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to launch a study into the anticompetitive practices of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and they harm they cause to patients, taxpayers, and pharmacies.
The commission voted 5-0 on Tuesday in favor of launching the inquiry and will send a compulsory Order to File a Special Report to the six largest PBMs to provide information and records related to their business practices.
According to a release from the FTC announcing the study, "[T]he inquiry is aimed at shedding light on several practices that have drawn scrutiny in recent years" and will address practices such as fees and clawbacks charged to pharmacies; "steering" of patients to PBM-owned pharmacies; how pharmacy reimbursements are determined; how manufacturer rebates affect which drugs are covered, and related issues.
APCI has long advocated for federal oversight of PBMs and raised many of the issues the study proposes to investigate.
"APCI and our member community pharmacists are beyond pleased with the decision by the FTC to launch this study into how PBM practices increase drug prices and restrict access to lifesaving drugs," said APCI CEO Tim Hamrick. "We want to thank FTC chair Lina Khan and the rest of the commissioners for their unanimous vote to investigate an industry that has been in dire need of significant oversight for years.
"As an organization, APCI and its members have advocated aggressively for the federal government to investigate anticompetitive PBM practices," Hamrick added. "APCI offered testimony to the FTC in February of this year and submitted written comments in May regarding anti-competitive PBM practices. We very much look forward to working with the FTC, Congress, and other stakeholders to rein in these problematic issues that are detrimental to patients, taxpayers, and small businesses."
The FTC's order requests a wide range of information from the PBMs and should provide the commission with a wealth of data, said Greg Reybold, APCI's Director of Healthcare Policy and General Counsel.
"We are extremely pleased with the depth and scope of the information the FTC is requesting from these middlemen," Reybold said. "For years, PBMs have operated in a black box and FTC scrutiny of PBM practices that restrict patient access to care and raise prescription drug costs falls squarely within the commission's twin missions of protecting consumers and competition."
The decision to launch the study comes after the commission deadlocked on an earlier vote in February to investigate PBMs. Following that vote, the FTC issued a Request for Information about PBM practices and received a staggering number of public comments on the issue – more than 24,000 to date.
Commissioners Noah Joshua Phillips and Christine S. Wilson, who voted against the earlier study, issued a concurring statement in support of the new study.
"This 6(b) study was prepared with input and leadership from our PBM team. It is scoped to study the competitive impact of PBM practices, including – critically – how those practices might impact out-of-pocket costs for consumers," the statement reads. "The study will examine relationships between PBMs and pharmacies and also PBMs and pharmaceutical manufacturers, a matter of much public interest. This is a study we can support."
Bill Eley, APCI's Director of Legislative Affairs, added that he was pleased with unanimous vote by the commission.
"It is encouraging to see that the concerns about the previous proposal raised by commissioners Wilson and Phillips have been addressed in the design of the new study," he said. "It is crucial that the FTC ask the right questions when dealing with these middlemen."
APCI is a member-owned cooperative of more than 1,600 member pharmacies in 30 states. Established in 1984 and headquartered in Bessemer, Ala., APCI is proud to lead the fight for prescription drug pricing transparency and reform.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — After running unopposed in Iowa’s primary election, Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds holds a huge fundraising edge over Democrat Deidre DeJear in a state that has become increasingly friendly to conservative candidates.
DeJear, a 36-year-old businesswoman who also faced no primary opposition, is seeking to become the first Democrat elected governor of Iowa in 16 years.
She will face a tough challenger in Reynolds, whose campaign has raised eight-times more money than the Democrat as she seeks a second full term.
Since becoming governor, Reynolds has ticked through a long list of conservative accomplishments. | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/your-local-election-hq/democrat-dejear-faces-challenge-to-unseat-iowa-gov-reynolds/ | 2022-06-07T22:50:47Z | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/your-local-election-hq/democrat-dejear-faces-challenge-to-unseat-iowa-gov-reynolds/ | true | null |
GHENT, Belgium, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ghent-based Sensolus, specialized in connected asset management, is entering into a partnership with Tosca, the global player in reusable plastic containers, pallets and bins. The Sensolus platform will be used to map the tens of thousands of reusables pooled among its customers in the US. This digitalization allows Tosca to optimize its supply chain to ensure asset availability while reducing its carbon footprint. Tosca will also share these logistics insights with customers, giving more transparency into the journey goods take from source to store shelves. In turn, Tosca's active input will allow Sensolus to better tailor its platform to the consumer goods industry. The partnership was officially signed in Atlanta during Princess Astrid's trade tour of the United States.
In 2020 Tosca, with headquarters in Atlanta and Belgium, acquired European pallet pooling market leader Contraload, who was already in partnership with Sensolus to provide IoT. With 100 years of combined experience, Tosca is making supply chains more sustainable by replacing cardboard and wooden packaging with a reusable plastic alternative, from crates for sensitive products such as fruit or eggs to full pallets for heavy loads. Tosca is one of the largest poolers in the world, meaning that major players in consumer goods rely on the market leader to replace their old packaging and manage their entire inbound, outbound and intralogistics flows of reusable packaging, thus saving costs and reducing their carbon footprint.
"The more data you have as a pooler about the locations and condition of your packaging, the better you can optimize your flows and processes, save costs and reduce your footprint," says Kristoff Van Rattinghe, CEO of Sensolus. "Tosca is now also using the Sensolus platform for this purpose. In it, data from thousands of packages is collected and translated into valuable supply chain insights. In addition, Tosca also shares this data with its customers. In this way, they can meet the desire of consumers who increasingly expect transparency into the logistics and production processes behind the items on store shelves."
Another determining factor in Tosca's choice of Sensolus was the hardware independence of the Ghent platform. "In a few hours or days, we can integrate new flows and data from tens of thousands of trackers, regardless of the vendor. That makes our solution extremely scalable and means that, as a Belgian scale-up, we can still support a global player like Tosca in a market as immense as the U.S."
"By relying on Sensolus, their proven technology and user-friendly platform, we can map the supply chain and unify our network of customers," says Jesse Sels, president EMEA at Tosca. "Therein lies the unique complementarity of Tosca and Sensolus. We share a common goal, which helps us take the next step together and make our vision of optimization and a circular economy a reality faster."
Tosca has a broad experience in packaging and supply chain in the retail and food industry. Sensolus has a deep knowledge of IoT and how data and insights can be made available in a centralized platform. "In that sense, in this partnership we combine the best of both worlds and learn from each other to take a unique position in the ecosystem of supply chain optimization and reusable packaging for the entire food chain, from farm to fork," says Kristoff Van Rattinghe.
The new partnership was officially signed in Atlanta on June 6. The ceremony took place in the presence of, among others, Princess Astrid, Jan Jambon, Minister-President of the Flemish Government and Flemish Minister of Foreign Affairs and Willy Borsus, Vice-President of Wallonia and Walloon Minister of Foreign Trade and Economy. The delegation, along with 300 delegates from Belgian companies, is currently on a trade tour of the United States. "That says enough about the strength of this partnership and clearly demonstrates the potential that lies in the cooperation between major American players and promising Belgian companies. With Sensolus, moreover, we will not stop here. The supply chain is a global challenge. We will therefore increasingly focus on the American market in order to support our customers there as a software supplier," concludes Kristoff Van Rattinghe.
Sensolus is an industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) company that tracks non-powered assets such as trailers, containers, etc. through an end-to-end solution, helping companies make better, data-driven business decisions. The company has years of expertise in telecom, low-power networks, wireless sensor design and cloud-based analytics. Sensolus' plug-and-play IoT solution includes wireless trackers and an open IoT platform that enables value creation and cost reduction by linking it to enterprise data. In this way, supply chains and logistics processes in which non-powered assets play an important role are optimized.
The Belgian scale-up was founded in 2013 by four IoT enthusiasts and already employs 35 people. It is active in various industries, ranging from aerospace, automotive and logistics to industrial manufacturing and the waste industry. Customers such as Airbus, Atlas Copco and AB InBev call on Sensolus' IoT solution on a daily basis. More than 150.000 assets are tracked in real time on the platform.

MUSKEGON, Mich. — The welcome wagon turned out in full force in Muskegon Tuesday to welcome a significant ‘moving’ milestone: the return of cruise ships to Muskegon Lake.
The stop marked the first such appearance in more than two years.
The Pearl Mist tied up at Heritage Landing around 9 on Tuesday morning, inbound from Mackinac Island.
“Just being able to share these experiences, not only with the guests, but the community, it's a huge deal,” Kristen Lambert, Pearl Sea Cruise’s manager of guest programs relayed.
Nearing the end of their circuit around the Great Lakes, it was all smiles from disembarking passengers.
“Many of our guests have rescheduled their cruise a number of times just to be with us.”
And crew as well.
“This is their lives,” Lambert said. “They've been on board with us, the majority of them since 2014. And many of them had waited out the pandemic just to sail with the Pearl Mist again.”
The 210 guest ship got underway in Canada, departing the shores of Lake Ontario days earlier, before making its way into Georgian Bay and later, into the Straits.
The stop in Muskegon Lake marked one of the final calls of the cruise.
“The first call of the year is always a big day,” Bob Lukens of Visit Muskegon said. “The people that are visiting have no idea or perception of what Muskegon is like or West Michigan in general… So it's pretty amazing when they come here.”
Those visits began with the Pearl Mist back in 2015.
The ship marked another milestone when it became the first cruise liner to dock in Muskegon since the pandemic mothballed the industry.
“We’re just excited that the ships are here again after a two year hiatus,” Lukens said.
The appearance makes dollars and cents for local businesses, many of which were just as eager for the return as disembarking passengers.
“It's great for our economy, of course, and certainly it's great for public relations, because everybody likes to come down and take a look at the cruise ships and see these beautiful vessels,” Cindy Larsen, president of the Muskegon Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce explained.
The Pearl Mist was scheduled to depart for Wisconsin Tuesday evening and return Thursday.
There are 17 cruises scheduled to stop in Muskegon throughout the 2022 season, several more than in 2019.

Many of the most popular, genre-defining games trace their heritage to what are called “mods”—player-made modifications to existing games. The mods are built from developer tools within the game so that players can create new levels, maps, and even new game mechanics. Take Warcraft 3, for example, which sold millions of copies and encouraged players to create mods with tools shipped inside the game. Famously, one of the mods was called Defense of the Ancients which facilitated powerful sets of heroes to battle each other in the first version of what became the popular MOBA genre—the genre that later spawned the groundbreaking League of Legends. And this isn’t the only example of mods supercharging the gameplay experience and player communities. The widely played shooter, PUBG, was derived from Arma and Counter-Strike was originally a mod of Half Life. The list goes on.
The liberating and powerful forces behind modding are two-fold: user-generated content (UGC) and extensibility.
- UGC is a persistent feature of our world’s most popular platforms. Think Twitter for text, Instagram for images, Tiktok + Youtube for video, Clubhouse for audio, or Roblox for games. For games in particular, UGC turns what are siloed content monoliths into platforms that aggregate and distribute a perennially increasing content supply designed by other players, not just the game designers.
- The second force is extensibility, or the idea of building atop the work of others. Extensibility augments UGC, because instead of starting from a blank canvas, creators can leverage other’s work. The prime example of extensibility is open source code—where users fork, edit, and release code that gets forked and edited again until entire ecosystems are built. Not only is extensibility in code, but it is seen all around us from TikTok duets, to remixes of songs, or paper references in academia. Each consecutive creation adds to the work before it—building a foundation of knowledge that can only grow.
Mods embody both of these features—UGC by giving devs the tools and platform to freely create; extensibility by turning what was once a siloed, rigid world into a scaffold that can be built upon.
It’s because we believe in mods that it is with great pleasure that we are announcing our Series A investment into Omni Creator Products (OCP). OCP is building simple, yet powerful creation tools to facilitate modding, as well as the scaffold through a game codenamed Muse.
Muse takes inspiration from some of the industry’s most successful titles. They plan to make a highly social, highly replayable game with lots of variety. It is intentionally designed to be a great scaffold for people to remix and create from.
Alongside their game, OCP is building ‘Creator Lab’ where players can remix Muse or games created by other UGC creators. Muse will be the scaffold for creation, but from there, anything can happen. Creator Lab will be simple enough to let anyone build a basic world, but also enable complex mechanics that invite mods to change the game entirely.
Cofounders Mike and Nick Atamas are truly spectacular. The two brothers hail from Epic, where they were advertised as beacons of success to new hires. Mike was originally in legal leading Unreal Engine licensing and global privacy, but would often weigh in on Epic’s most important strategy decisions. After the leadership team took notice, Mike transitioned to Senior Director of Strategy and Operations. Nick was one of the best engineers at Epic, working on many of the company’s key projects and was eventually given special projects from Tim Sweeney to pursue individually. The two have also recruited one of the strongest teams, mixing the best out of Epic–like Fortnite Creative’s former dev relations lead, Deepak Nair–with veterans from leading companies across the games industry. The two brothers are similarly hard working, passionate, and intelligent, but differ in their demeanors. As a whole, they augment each other’s greatest strengths and are a perfect duo for this ambitious endeavor.
As we look to the future, we are excited to see how the right modding systems can turn siloed games into platforms, and how the next generation of indie developers can leverage the work of developers before them. We believe the OCP team is leading the charge here, and we’re ecstatic to support them on the next phase of their journey!

The truth about Diablo Immortal is that it's a Diablo game for people who pick all the M&Ms out of the trail mix. It's built around the dopamine that comes from whacking demon piñatas for loot, meticulously designed to give you a jolt of satisfaction every 30 seconds—and then, when that's not enough anymore, it charges you for it. For Diablo Immortal and games like it, the fun parts of games are money extraction devices (opens in new tab).
Diablo Immortal started first as a mobile game, and its PC beta makes little effort to hide that. The buttons are big, there are almost no graphics options, the camera is way too zoomed in on your character, and the levels are empty. Despite all that, it plays just like you'd expect Diablo to. You click or WASD through sprawling levels and poke demons until they pop into loot. And then you do that over and over while accumulating weapon and armor upgrades.
I played as a Wizard and a Necromancer that echo the classes already available in Diablo 3. Wizards can channel frost beams and energy beams and Necromancers can send their undead minions out into the fray as they set corpses off like bombs. Immortal replaces mana with ability cooldowns, which simplifies things a little. It's still satisfying to blast through hordes of demons in exactly the same way it is in the other Diablo games. There are even some neat spell interactions in here: Wizards can plop down an ice crystal that makes any channeled beams sent into it reflect in the direction of nearby enemies.
It's interesting stuff in a game that's so focused on MMO-like cooperation: Other players pass by as you complete quests in the open world, and every dungeon can be played with others. You're rewarded for working together and quickly cleaning out dungeons with extra loot. I was nowhere near seeing the endgame dungeons, but I could see a version of this game where people have to work together and rotate their abilities to defeat tough monsters.
But right now, Diablo Immortal's multiplayer dungeons are mostly about your group of players colliding with groups of demons and cleaning up the gold afterward. Everyone is running the same rifts and dungeons over and over to counteract the extremely slow leveling speed once you reach about level 35—which, to me, seems like a soft cap aimed at getting you to engage with daily battle pass activities and the like. The game funnels everyone into a desire to get to max level to start the slog toward the real game: gem grinding.
A loot box by any other name...
This Diablo game revolves around gems, little crystals that give your gear special perks, like transforming a charged spell into an instant one or giving you some sort of lifesteal. On paper, it sounds like a normal sort of Diablo upgrade path. The goal of collecting these loot-based games is to equip yourself from head to toe with the best little knickknacks you can get. But Diablo Immortal has been designed around the grind for gems to the point that it's hard not to see the ways this game wants you to spend either loads of time or loads of money.
Since Diablo Immortal's release, people have been picking apart its monetization scheme, and it seems pretty bad (opens in new tab). Its Elder Rifts are essentially loot boxes. They're randomized levels stuffed with enemies that may or may not drop the rare gem you want, and you can increase your chances or guarantee that you'll get a rare drop by spending money on Crests or Legendary Crests.
The only thing going for Rifts is that you technically have to play a little bit of the game before finding out if you were lucky. The endgame grind is about farming for little invisible gems to slot into your gear and not the gear itself, because the best-looking stuff is reserved for the real money store. Diablo Immortal feels like it was designed to exploit people's love for Diablo rather than to be a great Diablo game.
The shoddy PC release reinforces that perception. Even small quality-of-life additions that were in previous Diablos are gone here: You can't use multi-key keybinds, you can't overlay a minimap onto the screen, and you can't even dye your gear. All of my friends that gave Diablo Immortal a shot stopped playing once they landed on the same conclusion: The 10-year-old Diablo 3 is much better than any of this.
What's funny is that Diablo 3 is also about spending loads and loads of time trying to get better stuff. The difference is that it's trying to make itself satisfying enough to justify all the time it eats up rather than trying to get me to put money down by stymying progression.
Diablo Immortal takes the parts of Diablo that already felt addictive and makes them explicitly exploitative. It's hard to see how updates down the road can erase that. And even if you were to cut out the monetization (which obviously wouldn't happen), Immortal can't compete with any modern action RPGs like Lost Ark or Path of Exile. It's shamelessly trying to survive off of love for an established series, adding nothing but a way to tie gear power to wallet opening. Here's hoping Diablo 4 shares almost nothing in common with it. | https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/diablo-immortal-is-a-game-designed-to-exploit-your-love-of-diablo/ | 2022-06-07T23:03:33Z | https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/diablo-immortal-is-a-game-designed-to-exploit-your-love-of-diablo/ | false | 3 |
2nd person in custody in deadly weekend Philadelphia gunfire
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Authorities say a second person is in custody in connection with shootings that killed three people and wounded 11 in a Philadelphia entertainment district over the weekend. But no charges have yet been filed in any of the shooting deaths. Federal marshals said Tuesday that 34-year-old Rashaan Vereen faces attempted murder and other charges. Authorities have said an altercation on busy South Street led to an exchange of gunfire and other shooting along the street. Police say two of the people killed and many of those wounded are believed to have been innocent bystanders. It’s unclear whether Vereen has an attorney to speak on his behalf. | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/06/07/2nd-person-in-custody-in-deadly-weekend-philadelphia-gunfire/ | 2022-06-07T23:04:18Z | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/06/07/2nd-person-in-custody-in-deadly-weekend-philadelphia-gunfire/ | true | null |
DALLAS, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vertical Capital Income Fund (NYSE: VCIF) today announced a distribution of $0.0721 per share pursuant to the Fund's managed distribution plan (the "Plan"), payable as follows:
Declaration – 6/7/2022 Ex-Date – 6/16/2022 Record Date – 6/17/2022 Payable – 6/30/2022
Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund pays a minimum monthly distribution to shareholders at a stated annual rate as a percentage of the 3-month average net asset value ("NAV") of the Fund's shares prior to the month of distribution. The distribution is calculated as 8% of the previous three-month average NAV, divided by 12. The primary purpose of the Plan is to provide investors with consistent, but not guaranteed, periodic distributions from the Fund, regardless of when or whether income is earned or capital gains are realized. Distributions under the Plan may consist of (i) net investment income, (ii) net realized short-term capital gains, (iii) net realized long-term capital gains and, to the extent necessary, (iv) return of capital (or other capital sources). With each distribution that does not consist solely of net investment income, the Fund will issue a notice to shareholders and an accompanying press release that will provide detailed information regarding the amount and composition of the distribution, as well as certain other related information. The Fund expects to issue any such notice and press release on or about the distribution payment date.
The Fund had approximately $2.3 million in cash as of May 31, 2022. A new monthly net asset value per share of $10.78 was produced on May 31, 2022. For information on the Fund's current net asset value per share, please visit the Fund's website at vcif.us.
The Plan will be subject to periodic review by the Board, and the Board may amend the terms of the Plan including amending the annual rate of payment or may terminate the Plan at any time without prior notice to the Fund's shareholders. The Fund's distribution rate may be affected by numerous factors, including changes in realized and projected market returns, Fund performance, and other factors. There can be no assurance that an unanticipated change in market conditions or other unforeseen factors will not result in a change in the Fund's distribution rate at a future time. The amendment or termination of the Plan could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund's shares. The public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to which the Fund is exposed. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects cannot be determined with certainty. In order to comply with the requirements of Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and an exemptive order received by the Fund from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund will provide its shareholders of record on each distribution date with a 19(a) Notice and issue an accompanying press release disclosing the sources of its distribution payment when a distribution includes anything other than net investment income. This information will be forthcoming later this month.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported in 19(a) Notices are only estimates and are not provided for tax reporting purposes.

Did you lose money on investments in Teladoc Health? If so, please visit Teladoc Health, Inc. Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit or contact Peter Allocco at (212) 951-2030 or pallocco@bernlieb.com to discuss your rights.
NEW YORK, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bernstein Liebhard LLP announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired the securities of Teladoc Health, Inc. ("Teladoc" or the "Company") (NYSE: TDOC) between October 28, 2021 and April 27, 2022, inclusive (the "Class Period"). The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Teladoc provides virtual healthcare services in the U.S. and internationally through Business-to-Business ("B2B") and Direct-to-Consumer ("D2C") distribution channels. The Company offers its customers various virtual products and services addressing, among other medical issues, mental health through its BetterHelp D2C product, and chronic conditions.
Teladoc touts itself as "the first and only company to provide a comprehensive and integrated whole person virtual healthcare solution that both provides and enables care for a full spectrum of clinical conditions[.]" Despite recent market concerns over new entrants to the telehealth field, such Amazon.com, Inc. ("Amazon") and Walmart Inc. ("Walmart"), the Company has continued to assure investors of the Company's dominant market position in the industry.
Plaintiff alleges that Defendants made materially false and misleading statements throughout the Class Period. Specifically, Plaintiff alleges that Defendants failed to disclose that: (i) increased competition, among other factors, was negatively impacting Teladoc's BetterHelp and chronic care businesses; (ii) the growth of those businesses was less sustainable than Defendants had led investors to believe; (iii) as a result, Teladoc's revenue and adjusted EBITDA projections for FY 2022 were unrealistic; and (iv) as a result of all the foregoing, Teladoc would be forced to recognize a significant non-cash goodwill impairment charge.
On April 27, 2022, Teladoc announced its first quarter ("Q1") 2022 financial results, including revenue of $565.4 million, which missed consensus estimates by $3.23 million, and "[n]et loss per share of $41.58, primarily driven by [a] non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $6.6 billion or $41.11 per share[.]" Additionally, the Company revised its FY 2022 revenue guidance to $2.4 - $2.5 billion and adjusted EBITDA guidance to $240 - $265 million "to reflect dynamics we are currently experiencing in the [D2C] mental health and chronic condition markets." On a conference call with investors and analysts that day to discuss Teladoc's Q1 2022 results, Defendants largely attributed the Company's poor performance, revised FY 2022 guidance, and $6.6 billion non-cash goodwill impairment charge to increased competition in its BetterHelp and chronic care businesses.
On this news, the Company's stock price fell over 40% to close at $33.51 per share on April 28, 2022.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 5, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as lead plaintiff. If you choose to take no action, you may remain an absent class member.

Newswise — A University of Houston biomedical engineer is expanding the study of wireless electrodes to treat hypertension and is reporting that blood pressure and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) is controlled by bioelectronic treatment. RSNA is often increased in hypertension and renal disease.
Using a custom-wired electrode, Mario Romero-Ortega, Cullen Endowed Professor of biomedical engineering, previously reported that deep peroneal nerve stimulation (DPNS) elicits an acute reduction in blood pressure. The current study, published in Frontiers in Neuroscience, advances that work, focusing on his development of a small implantable wireless neural stimulation system and exploration of different stimulation parameters to achieve a maximum lowered response.
Romero-Ortega integrated a sub-millimeter nerve stimulation circuit with a novel nerve attachment microchannel electrode that facilitates implantation into small nerves and allows external power and DPNS modulation control.
Using this implantable device, his team demonstrated that systolic blood pressure can be lowered 10% in one hour and 16% two hours after nerve stimulation.
“Our results indicate that DPNS consistently induces an immediate and reproducible arterial depressor effect in response to electrical stimulation of the deep peroneal nerve,” reports Romero-Ortega.
Hypertension, often called the ‘silent killer’ speaks loudly in statistics. In the United States, it is the number one cause of death. Globally it is the number one risk factor for death, impacting more than 1 billion people and is to blame for about half of all stroke and heart related deaths. The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association 2018 guidelines classified average systolic blood pressure as greater than 130 mmHg and diastolic BP greater than 80 mmHg, on at least two separate occasions, as hypertension.
While pharmacological treatments are effective, blood pressure remains uncontrolled in 50–60% of resistant hypertensive subjects. Unfortunately, despite the use of multiple antihypertensive drugs in combination, blood pressure remains poorly controlled in 50–60% of the hypertensive population and approximately 12–18% of them develop resistant hypertension, defined as blood pressure greater than 140/90 mmHg despite the use of antihypertensive drugs.
“In this study, DPNS induced an initial increase in RSNA during the first 2–3 seconds, followed by a reduction in renal activity and mean arterial pressure, despite the increase in heart rate,” said Romero-Ortega. The observed activation of the RSNA during the DPNS was not expected since its activity is associated with hypertension.” | https://www.newswise.com/articles/deep-nerve-stimulation-consistently-reduces-blood-pressure | 2022-06-07T23:10:31Z | https://www.newswise.com/articles/deep-nerve-stimulation-consistently-reduces-blood-pressure | true | 2 |
Boxed beef cutout values this afternoon were higher on Choice and lower on Select, the USDA said.
- Choice up 1.84 to $271.42/cwt.
- Select down 1.53 to $249.56/cwt.
In negotiated cash sales in Nebraska, the USDA reported none sold live or dressed. In negotiated cash sales in Iowa/Minnesota, the USDA reported none sold live or dressed.
The jump in the beef market this week may be enough to stabilize the cash market, according to The Hightower Report.
USDA estimated FI cattle slaughter at 125k head for Monday. That does not compare to last week, and is up 8k head from the same Monday last year, according to Alan Brugler of Barchart. | https://www.agupdate.com/iowafarmertoday/mwo/livestock/cattle/cattle/article_edd0ee3e-e6a3-11ec-94ff-dfae678b03d4.html | 2022-06-07T23:13:17Z | https://www.agupdate.com/iowafarmertoday/mwo/livestock/cattle/cattle/article_edd0ee3e-e6a3-11ec-94ff-dfae678b03d4.html | false | null |
(CBS4) – The Colorado Avalanche are headed back to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since winning it all in 2001. In that time, a whole new generation of hockey fans has grown up in our state, but spurred on by the Avs’ Cup run, many are coming to the game for the first time.
When those new fans tune in, they may hear a lot of new hockey terms. So what does it all mean? Here’s a Hockey 101 breakdown of what you might hear.
Faceoff
A faceoff happens at the beginning of each period and after stoppages in play. The referee drops the puck between two offensive players, who then fight for possession of the puck.
Offside
This is called when players on the attacking team cross the blue line of the offensive zone before the puck gets there. There is no penalty, but play is stopped and a faceoff is held.
Icing
The term used when a team shoots the puck from its side of the center red line across the opposing goal line.
Checking
There are several types of checking in a hockey game, but generally speaking, a check is the use of the body or stick with the intent to disrupt an opponent’s possession of the puck, or to separate him entirely from the puck. Most are clean, legal plays. Charging, which is hitting from behind, and boarding, which is shoving a player into the walls of the rink, are both illegal types of checking and are quite dangerous.
Power Play
When a team commits and penalty, and a player from that team is sent to the Penalty Box, that team then loses one of their five offensive players on the ice for the duration of the penalty. The opposing team continues to play with all five offensive players.
Penalty Kill
The term used when the team with a player in the penalty box does not allow a goal while down a player. When the player returns, that team is then back at Full Strength.
Crease
The crease is the blue-shaded area of the ice immediately in front of the goal where the goalie plays his position. The goalie is protected from most types of contact while inside the crease.
Pipes
A colloquial term used to describe the goal. Announcers will sometimes describe goalies as “between the pipes.”
Sweater
A colloquial term for hockey jerseys. In the early days of hockey, players would wear actual sweaters on the ice.
Hat Trick
The term used when a player scores three goals in a game. If that player scores three consecutive goals in a game, it’s called a Natural Hat Trick. If a player records a goal, an assist, and participates in a fight, the unofficial stat is called a Gordie Howe Hat Trick, named for one of the greatest hockey players of all time.
Forwards vs. Defensemen
Hockey teams field six players on the ice at a time – three forwards, two defenseman, and a goalie. The forwards, comprised of a Center, a Right Winger, and a Left Winger, play the most offensive. Defensemen play defense when the opposing team is on offense, and usually play close to the goal. When their team is on offense, they play closer to the blue line.
Why can players fight in hockey?
Fighting is an accepted in hockey to a point. Seemingly barbaric, players sometimes take policing of the game into their own hands if they feel referees are not calling penalties properly and to “penalize” opposing players for committing infractions that may not have been properly called by referees. Hockey players abide by a “code” to prevent injuries and keep fighting regulated. For example, fighting is to stop when a player hits the ice or if asked. Most fights result in a two-minute minor penalty, though some larger fights involving multiple players may result in a five-minute major penalty or a game misconduct penalty.
PENALTIES
Delayed Penalty
The term used when a penalty is called but play is not stopped until the team that committed the violation controls the puck.
Minor Penalty
Most penalties in hockey are classified as minor penalties. Players who commit a minor penalty (outlined below) must serve two minutes in the Penalty Box and the other team is awarded a two-minute Power Play.
Major Penalty
A major penalty is assessed for severe penalties that present danger to players, most commonly boarding and charging. The guilty player must serve five minutes in the Penalty Box, and the other team is awarded a five-minute Power Play.
Game Misconduct
A ten-minute penalty assessed for excessive poor sportsmanship.
Penalty Shot
A penalty shot is awarded when a player who has the puck in either the neutral zone or attacking zone, and does not have an opponent to pass except the goalie, is fouled from behind and thus prevented from having a clear shot on goal.
Delay of Game
This minor penalty can be assessed against a player who causes the game to be paused, such as causing the goal to come off its moorings, a player holding an airborne puck and not dropping it to the ice immediately, a puck intentionally shot out of play, or a player or goalie keeping the puck behind the net for more than a minute. Referees may assess a delay of game penalty against the bench for engaging in activities that postpone play or if fans throw objects onto the ice to disrupt the game. Starting in the 2017-2018 season, delay of game penalties are now also assessed against teams for unsuccessful coach’s challenges.
High-Sticking
The term used for any stick contact of an opponent above the shoulders.
Boarding
The term used when a player pushes, checks, or trips another player causing them to fall or slide dangerously into the boards, or walls of the rink. This is a Major Penalty.
Charging
The term used when a player takes more than two strides or “travels an excessive distance” to gain speed for a check against an opposing player. This is a Major Penalty.
Cross-Checking
The term used when a player uses the shaft of his stick to forcefully check an opponent.
Holding
The term used when a player uses his arms to restrain his opponent.
Hooking
The term used when a player uses his stick to restrain his opponent.
Interference
The term used when a player interferes with or impedes the progress of his opponent who does not have possession of the puck.
Roughing
The term used when a player uses a punching motion directed at an opponent’s head, or after a small fight between two players deemed not worthy of a major penalty to either player.
Slashing
The term used when a player chops his opponent’s body with a stick or hands that is not an attempt to make a play on the puck.
Tripping
The term used when a player uses his stick, knee, foot, arm, hand, or elbow to cause an opponent to trip and fall. | https://denver.cbslocal.com/2022/06/07/colorado-avalanche-hockey-rules-terms-stanley-cup/ | 2022-06-07T23:16:02Z | https://denver.cbslocal.com/2022/06/07/colorado-avalanche-hockey-rules-terms-stanley-cup/ | false | 2 |
Ascension Parish sheriff, council discuss license plate recognition cameras, gunshot spotting technology
Ascension Parish Sheriff Bobby Webre discussed the possibility of adding license plate recognition cameras and gunfire detection technology during the Ascension Parish Council's finance committee meeting held June 6 in Gonzales.
The discussion included potentially upgrading lighting, adding stationary license plate recognition (known as LPR) cameras, and ShotSpotters, which listen for the sound of gunfire then alerts law enforcement on the location.
Many law enforcement agencies around the country have used license plate readers, which can be mounted to stationary poles, moving vehicles, or handheld devices. The information gathered can then be checked against databases such as those of stolen vehicles or missing persons.
In 2019, the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office implemented two LPR systems in patrol vehicles. At the time, Webre said LPRs were a valuable tool in law enforcement to battle crime.
"An LPR reads a license plate as it passes and then automatically runs this plate through a national database to check if this license plate is wanted in connection with a crime or stolen," Webre said in 2019.
Ascension Parish Chief Administrative Officer John Diez led off the meeting discussion by pointing out the parish has up to $6 million combined in the seven lighting districts.
Council member Travis Turner said he was in favor of the ShotSpotter technology but was "not too big on" the license plate readers.
The sheriff said everything in law enforcement has changed with technology, pointing to the department's investment in Motorola body-worn cameras, which was announced in late 2020 and rolled out throughout Ascension Parish in 2021.
"Cameras are not cheap, but they're not as expensive as they once were," Webre said to committee members.
He added that license plate readers have helped solve more crimes than almost anything else in the last two years.
"These cameras are not taking pictures of people inside cars, just getting us a description of a car and a license plate. We've solved more crime by doing that," Webre said.
License plate reading technology has not come without controversy, as some have raised concerns over mass surveillance in public places. Organizations, such as the American Civil Liberties Union, have called for legislation and law enforcement agency policies aimed at maintaining innocent citizens' privacy.
"The tracking of people’s location constitutes a significant invasion of privacy, which can reveal many things about their lives, such as what friends, doctors, protests, political events, or churches a person may visit," the ACLU states in an article on its website.
"In our society, it is a core principle that the government does not invade people’s privacy and collect information about citizens’ innocent activities just in case they do something wrong," the article continues.
Some have argued license plate readers could be misused to track individuals who are not involved in criminal activity.
In one audit conducted in California, 99.9 percent of vehicle images stored by the Los Angeles Police Department were of vehicles not on any so-called hot list at the time it was scanned.
Several states have statutes expressly addressing the use of license plate readers and how long data can be retained.
The committee agreed to continue the discussion at its next meeting. | https://www.weeklycitizen.com/story/news/2022/06/07/ascension-parish-sheriff-council-discuss-license-plate-recognition-cameras-gunshot-spotting-technolo/7541019001/ | 2022-06-07T23:20:05Z | https://www.weeklycitizen.com/story/news/2022/06/07/ascension-parish-sheriff-council-discuss-license-plate-recognition-cameras-gunshot-spotting-technolo/7541019001/ | true | 1 |

Mum expecting to be reunited with her captured soldier son sent his mutilated corpse instead
A MUM expecting to be reunited with her captured soldier son was sent his mutilated corpse instead.
Denis Mironova, 43, was tied up, beaten and given electric shocks for weeks by Russian FSB agents.
They beat the dad of one beyond recognition before killing him by smashing his ribs into his lungs.
He was then put in a coffin and included in a prisoner-swap deal — while waiting mum Natalya, 66, was unaware he was dead.
She said: “It’s impossible to describe what my son turned into.
“They had so much ‘fun’ with him.

Gary Lyons wasn't flipping, jumping out of a plane or rock climbing when he crushed spine on May 25.
He was just going up to catch a pass during his umpteenth routine game of basketball.
The 32-year-old Philadelphia 76ers Dunk Squad performer was weeks away from graduating the fire academy and going on to become one of Camden County's bravest, like his uncle.
It was a devastating blow for Lyons, whose life is a constant flow of activity and movement.
But, he said from Magee Rehabilitation, giving up isn't in the cards.
"Staying positive and being optimistic will be the keys for my success," he said.
"The support from my family and friends have been on another level, the amount of love and prayers you all have sent have been a blessing. I’m extremely grateful and I thank you for being on this journey with me."
More than $12,000 had been raised on a GoFundMe page launched for his recovery as of Tuesday, June 7.
Strength, endurance, and adventure are what [Lyons] thrives on. On a weekly basis, he flipped his body around like an acrobat, performing at half-time in front of thousands of fans as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers Dunk Squad," the page reads.
"On vacations, he left no rocky terrain unclimbed and jumped at the opportunity to dive off cliffs into the ocean. He has a thirst for life and adventure beyond anything most people could fathom, so hearing that his injury was sustained when he jumped up to grab a pass and fell seems like it could only be fate - God’s plan."
Lyons knows life has more in store for him. So he keeps his chin up.
"No matter what it takes, I will push boundaries and work my absolute hardest," he said. "It’s a marathon, not a race. BRB 🙏🏾❤️🤞🏾"

(NEXSTAR) – Michael Lowe says he was celebrating Fourth of July with friends in New Mexico last year when the cops showed up to investigate a disturbance. Before he knew it, Lowe says he was being taken away and booked into jail. But his alleged crimes had nothing to do with the party – there was a warrant for his arrest out of Tarrant County, Texas.
“Mr. Lowe’s confusion was profound – he did not know where Tarrant County, Texas was and could not even remember the last time he was in the state,” the lawsuit, filed Monday, says. Tarrant County, located west of Dallas, includes the cities of Fort Worth and Arlington.
Lowe says no one bothered to explain to him what was going on for 17 “excruciating” days and nights at the Quay County Detention Center. It wasn’t until later Lowe realized he had technically been to Tarrant County, on a layover flight through Dallas/Forth Worth International Airport.
Now, Lowe is suing American Airlines, saying the company is the reason he ended up in jail.
It all started back in May 2020, the lawsuit shared with Nexstar explains. A duty-free store at the airport was burglarized and surveillance cameras showed the suspect boarding American Airlines Flight No. 2248, according to the suit.
That’s the same flight Lowe was on, flying to Reno, Nevada. Lowe lives in Arizona and was going to visit a friend. But Lowe says he wasn’t the one who burglarized the airport shop. Surveillance photos included in the lawsuit show the suspect wearing different clothing and with a different hairstyle than Lowe.
Yet when airport police asked American Airlines for a list of passengers on board the flight, the lawsuit claims the airline instead offered up just one name: Michael Lowe’s.
American Airlines told Nexstar it is “reviewing the matter.” The airline didn’t provide further comment.
“American Airlines could have provided its entire manifest for the flight or a list of all individuals who matched a certain description (ex: all white males over eighteen and under 65). American Airlines also could have performed an adequate search to identify the correct suspect and provide his information to law enforcement. Instead, American Airlines affirmatively and wrongfully identified Mr. Lowe as the single suspect of the DFW Airport PD’s felony investigation which foreseeably led to Mr. Lowe being arrested and imprisoned for a crime he was innocent of,” the lawsuit reads in part.
In the court document, Lowe describes an “excruciating” stay at the New Mexico detention center, in which he feared violence from other inmates and the threat of catching COVID-19 in a crowded cell.
“With only a fraction of the cots necessary to keep the inmates from having to resort to sleeping on the concrete floor, and with no means to keep and maintain a space of one’s own, there was no shared solidarity between the men in the quarantine pod, but rather a palpable sense of menace,” the lawsuit reads.
After 17 days, a guard told him he was being released. It took him two days of bus trips to get home to Arizona, the suit says. It wasn’t until he was home and started making calls to authorities in Texas, including an officer identified as Detective Torres, that he understood what had landed him in jail. He started contacting lawyers to try and help prove his innocence.
“Sometime after Mr. Lowe’s release from jail, Detective Torres obtained Mr. Lowe’s mug shot from Quay County and compared it to the photos of the culprit; it was obvious that American Airlines had the wrong person,” the lawsuit states.
The charges were dismissed but the lawsuit describes Lowe as a “changed man.”
“While Mr. Lowe understands that the likelihood of something like this happening again to him is minimal, the fear cannot be rationalized away, and it infects virtually his every decision and action,” the suit says.
Scott Palmer, Lowe’s attorney, told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram he places the blame on the airline. “I blame American,” he said. “Without American doing what they did, (the detective) never would have issued a warrant. It all starts with the disclosure of his name and his name only.”
Lowe is seeking damages for the emotional distress, as well as his lost wages and income as a result of his detainment. | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/national-news/man-says-excruciating-17-days-in-jail-was-caused-by-airlines-mistake/ | 2022-06-07T23:31:32Z | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/national-news/man-says-excruciating-17-days-in-jail-was-caused-by-airlines-mistake/ | true | 24 |

Shortly after the World Cup in Russia, Antoine Griezmann was a world champion and being talked about in the same breath as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. In the period between that World Cup and the upcoming tournament in Qatar, it’s been a long and painful descent from the top for Griezmann.
After three seasons at Barcelona which felt like a permanent struggle, he returned to Atletico Madrid this summer with the hope of reigniting the flame. Although there were brief flickers, he finished the season without certainty over his place in the team.
He’s also gone 21 games without a goal, including international matches. Following another weak performance for France, fans began to get on his back against Croatia in a 1-1 draw.
His national manager Didier Deschamps was honest about his morale in a press conference following that match, as was reported by Sport.
“His state of mind is not the best and he isn’t going to leave it all behind him with a click of the fingers.”
“Antoine can go through a period in which things aren’t going well. Including here at the national team, where he usually has a big influence. These are difficult situations for many players.”
Griezmann technically still belongs to Barcelona and is currently midway through a two-year loan at Atleti. Los Colchoneros have an option to buy the player at the end of both seasons and although nothing has been confirmed officially, President Enrique Cerezo did state that he would be staying in Madrid next season.
Griezmann’s struggles were part of troubled season for all of Atletico Madrid. There’s little doubt though that Diego Simeone will have to work magic in order to return Griezmann to the level he was at previously, which looks ever more distant. | https://www.football-espana.net/2022/06/07/didier-deschamps-blunt-about-antoine-griezmann-following-criticism | 2022-06-07T23:40:01Z | https://www.football-espana.net/2022/06/07/didier-deschamps-blunt-about-antoine-griezmann-following-criticism | false | 1 |
After a year-long property battle involving multiple city departments, citations and hundreds of emails, Tiffany Thomas felt a trailer-sized weight lift from her shoulders Monday morning.
The District F council member's relief was in response to a photo sent to her by a constituent showing a truck hauling away a trailer she and other Alief Super Neighborhood Council leaders have spent the last 12 months working to have removed from its wobbly perch at the corner of Alief Clodine Road and West Houston Center Boulevard.
"I feel like the end of 'The Wiz' when they kill the bad queen," Thomas said. "It's a new day."
The trailer, owned by Houston resident Dr. Ramesh Kapur, had sat at the busy intersection since May 2021, garnering citations and the ire of local residents for its state of disrepair in a prominent location. On Tuesday, Thomas shared the image with her Twitter followers showing the trailer's removal.
Thomas said Kapur reached out and offered to move the structure following an April news story about the ongoing property battle. Kapur, however, denied this when reached for comment on Tuesday, claiming the trailer has been "stolen" or removed by locals working against him.
"They stole it. It’s most likely stolen," Kapur said. "Somebody played a game...I personally think someone in the neighborhood did something."
Kapur said he was in the process of hiring help and gathering materials to renovate the trailer when it disappeared Monday. Local officials disagree with his assessment.
"He’s insane," said Alief Super Neighborhood Council Treasurer Doug Smith. "That’s all there is to it. Nobody would want to steal that piece of junk."
As of this writing, it remains unclear who moved the trailer and a call to the city of Houston Department of Neighborhoods, which has been in contact with Kapur regarding the property, was not returned Tuesday afternoon. In the meantime, Alief residents and leaders are celebrating the trailer's removal as a hard-won victory of the people.
"We escalated through different government entities, but it really came down to public pressure," Thomas said. "If it wasn’t for the people, it would’ve sat there."
Thomas said shame and the unified demands of the Alief community ultimately weighed heavier on Kupar than city fines.
"You can pull citations off a door, but when your name is in the newspaper, that’s a whole different thing. A small little neighborhood out in the west said 'no' to being ignored."

AUSTIN, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) — Officials with the office of Governor Greg Abbott announced Tuesday that Abbott directed companies to expand and accelerate the implementation of the iWatch Texas Program to report suspicious activity.
According to a press release from Abbott’s office, Abbott directed Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Director Steve McCraw, Texas Education Agency (TEA) Commissioner Mike Morath, and Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) Commissioner Harrison Keller. Officials said Abbott aimed to expand and accelerate their efforts to promote the ability to report suspicious activity known to students, staff, and families through the iWatchTexas reporting system.
Officials said iWatchTexas is a partnership between communities and law enforcement that makes it easier for the public to report suspicious activity in the state, including criminal, terroristic, or school safety-related threats.
“One recommendation provided by the Secret Service to stem the tide of school violence is for individuals who witness alarming behavior to report it to the appropriate authorities so that interventions may occur before a mass attack is carried out,” reads the letter. “The State of Texas began to implement this recommendation after the tragic attack in El Paso on September 5, 2019, when I issued Executive Order GA-07, relating to the prevention of mass attacks. We must accelerate these efforts to build a network of schools that are well-versed in suspicious activity reporting. That requires redoubling our efforts on the important work outlined in GA-07 and providing a robust rollout of the iWatch program that reaches communities and school districts across the state. To achieve that goal, I am directing DPS, TEA, and THECB to enhance and expedite your efforts to make widely known and easily accessible the ability to report suspicious activity known to students, staff, and families into iWatch..”
According to the office of the governor, Abbott said he has taken significant action to provide all available resources to support the Uvalde community following the tragic shooting at Robb Elementary School. Those actions include:
- Initiating the State of Texas’ comprehensive plan to assist and support members of the community, including co-locating state agency representatives to the Family Assistance Center for on-hand assistance in finding benefits.
- Issuing a disaster declaration at the request of local leaders to accelerate all available state and local resources to assist the Uvalde community.
- Requesting Texas legislative leaders convene special legislative committees to begin examining and developing legislative recommendations on school safety, mental health, social media, police training, firearm safety, and more.
- Directing the Texas School Safety Center (TxSSC) to begin immediately conducting comprehensive school safety reviews to ensure all Texas public schools are following the appropriate procedures to maximize school safety.
- Directing the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to provide strategies to make Texas public schools safer through heightened safety standards.
- Instructing the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) programs to provide training to all school districts across the state, prioritizing school-based law enforcement.
- Investing an initial $5 million into establishing a long-term Family Resiliency Center (FRC) in Uvalde County to serve as a hub for community services, including access to critical mental health resources.
- Working with the OneStar Foundation to create a one-stop webpage for donations to support the victims’ families, teachers, and the Uvalde community.
According to officials, Texans can report suspicious activity by, visiting here. Officials said reporting through any of these channels can be anonymous. | https://www.myhighplains.com/news/texas-politics/gov-abbott-directs-dps-tea-thecb-to-improve-iwatch-texas-program/ | 2022-06-07T23:45:03Z | https://www.myhighplains.com/news/texas-politics/gov-abbott-directs-dps-tea-thecb-to-improve-iwatch-texas-program/ | true | 3 |

Ronn Torossian Discusses Reaching Customers on Twitter
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, June 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Companies that want to engage the target audience in an authentic manner and even build a loyal community of customers on Twitter, need to utilize very important strategies. With these types of strategies, companies can improve the brand presence, as well as the audience perception on the platform. That's why the social media platform released a report that showed how users on the platform are perceiving the behavior of companies, as well as how those behaviors have evolved throughout the years. This report from Twitter was made to help companies understand what their customers expect from them on the platform, and how they can create a presence that's going to be on brand and authentic at the same time.
Brand Tone
Most businesses understand the need to have a unique brand voice to differentiate themselves in the market. To figure out whether companies are all saying the same thing or are doing distinct things, Twitter created a test where it took tweets from several different big brands. Then, the platform removed any identifying elements from those tweets and asked people to guess which company had created the original ones. Very few people managed to guess successfully. According to the research from Twitter, in the last few years, most companies have started using similar keywords and number of characters, and the content they share on the platform, which made them sound very similar to each other. To combat this, companies should develop a great sense of who they are and what they stand for, so they can feel more confident about sharing their values and mission statements with the target audience. This is what can distinguish companies from the rest of their competitors and generate a lot more attention from the target audience.
Topics
Most users on Twitter have started to expect companies to start joining important conversations and supporting social causes. However, it's not always easy for companies to figure out whether they need to speak up, or if what they have to say isn't going to be relevant to the overall conversation. In most cases, more specifically 60%, it's smart for companies to speak up about health, political, economic, or socio-political issues. It's important to remember that customers don't want to see companies repeating the same message repeatedly or sharing any statements that might sound insincere. Additionally, companies need to remember that they shouldn't be turning any of those topics into a sales pitch. That's why companies should think about their target audiences and what they are interested in, as well as what the brand stands for, and how both of those factors are able to relate to current topics. This is how companies can figure out when they should contribute to a conversation and then create a message that's going to be worthwhile for everyone involved.

What is the best sports bra?
When you’re exercising, not just any bra can provide you with the level of support you need to stay comfortable. A quality sports bra is an essential. And unlike the bra you wear every day, most sports bras also feature moisture-wicking fabric to keep you dry.
Choosing the best one for you means first considering the intensity of the workout you have planned, the amount of support you need and your cup size. Here’s how to find the right one for your needs.
Sports bra style
There are three main types of sports bras.
- Compression: These are built for smaller cup sizes and are typically put on by pulling them over your head. They compress your breasts against your chest and minimize bounce during movement.
- Encapsulated: For a big chest or high-intensity workout, separate cups are created for each breast. They encircle the breast individually for support from all angles, securing them in place.
- Combo: You can use this bra style for a range of cup sizes and levels of workout. You can use a combo as your go-to sports bra since it will encapsulate and compress your chest, having you ready for any physical activity.
Strap design
Most quality sports bras will have adjustable straps, which are essential to ensure a good fit, but there is more to consider.
Wide vs. thin
Your strap thickness can make a difference in the comfort of your bra. Thicker straps are better for larger cup sizes because they cover more area and are sometimes padded for extra comfort. Thinner straps, however, can be more comfortable for smaller cup sizes. They can also be used for detailed strappy designs.
Strap style
- Racerback: Racerback (or cross-back) straps connect in the center of the back, providing you with even support. They are often put on by pulling them over the head and shoulders.
- Scoopback: This looks more like a regular bra from the back and sometimes connects similarly by clipping together. The straps follow the shoulder blades straight down to meet the rib band, creating a scoop look in the back.
Fasteners
- Clasp: Some sports bras have a clasp that clips together in the back, similar to everyday bras, and others come with clasps in the front for easier removal.
- Closure: Clasps close in a couple of ways. There is the hook-and-eye closure, or you can also find zipper closures.
- Pullover: If you don’t want to deal with a clasp, you can purchase low-impact sports bras that you can pull over your head.
Cups
Size
Fitting the size of your cup is essential to ensure you have proper support. Cups A to C can typically use low or moderate support. However, if you’re bigger than a 34 C, it’s recommended to use a high-impact bra for the best support. Proper support saves you back pain down the line.
Support
Not all sports bras work for every type of activity. They are designed for different levels of intensity and are often labeled accordingly.
- Low impact: This level is great for exercises like yoga or walking that don’t require quick movements.
- Moderate impact: Choose this level for weight training or cycling.
- High impact: Running, horseback riding or other exercises that involve bouncing require maximum support.
Structure
- Built-in: High-intensity sports bras will have built-in cups to ensure proper placement and great support.
- Removable: Some bras have pads or cups that you can take out and put back in to suit your comfort level.
- Non-padded: Low impact sports bras may not have padding and are intended for smaller cup sizes.
How to check the fit of your sports bra
If you’re trying on sports bras, there are a few ways you can check to see if it will work for you. The bra’s main components are the bands that support your breasts underneath and the panels which hold them in on the sides. You can grip the cups or the straps from either side to stretch them to ensure proper support.
Ultimately, when you try on your sports bra, there should be:
- No spillage
- No squeezing of the shoulders or ribs
- No band rolling up your breasts
- No puckering or wrinkled cups

(KXAN) — The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is reviewing its inmate transportation procedures after a capital murder inmate escaped from a bus on May 12 and stayed out of reach of authorities for more than three weeks.
There will also be an independent investigation.
The search for Gonzalo Lopez ended when he was shot and killed after a shootout June 2 in Atascosa County, south of San Antonio. Law enforcement believe Lopez killed five people, a grandfather and his four grandsons, earlier that day at a home in Leon County while hiding out from authorities.
Lopez was serving a life sentence for capital murder.
The TDCJ said it has “temporarily suspended the transport of inmates” as the agency reviews its policies.
“If it becomes necessary to do a transport such as releasing or an emergency medical appointment, additional security measures will be implemented,” TDCJ release said.
Inmates in TDCJ custody are usually transported for at least a dozen different reasons:
- Unit-to-Unit
- Medical
- County Jail
- ISF Intake
- State and Federal Court
- Regional Releases
- Interstate Compact
- Handicap Transports
- Off-site Medical Offender Tracking
- Out-of-State Extraditions
- Emergency response or evacuations
TDCJ said it will still be transporting prisoners into its custody.
Lopez was being transported for a medical appointment from a school-bus style bus.
The U.S. Marshals said Lopez was with 15 other inmates and two guards from Gatesville to Huntsville when he was able to get free of his restraints near Leon County.
At the time of his escape, federal law enforcement said Lopez used “an object” to stab the bus driver, Officer Randy Smith, who is expected to survive. He was then able to “briefly” get ahold of Smith’s handgun, but was not able to free it from the holster, the U.S. Marshals said in a release. At some point, the guards and Lopez ended up outside of the bus.
The second guard, Officer Jimmie Brinegar shot the back tires of the bus before Lopez jumped back in and attempted to drive off, they said. He then drove roughly a mile before crashing and continuing on foot.
A spokesman for TDCJ told KWTX they believed Lopez was still near Centerville right after his escape.
The family of five killed at the home in Leon County arrived earlier on June 2. The home wasn’t a permanent home, the Chief of Staff for TDCJ Jason Clark said.
Clark said Lopez was hiding in wooded areas and had been inside the home to get water and change clothes. Authorities believe Lopez stole the guns used in the shootout from the property.
Law enforcement started to tail a Chevrolet Silverado that matched the description of a vehicle stolen from a home near Centerville where the family Lopez is suspected of killing was visiting.
Clark said law enforcement used spike strips on the pickup to disable it and Lopez crashed. He got out and started firing at responding law enforcement, but Clark said he didn’t hit anyone. Clark said Lopez had an AR-15 rifle and a pistol.
While many are still wondering how the situation escalated, TDCJ pledges to make the transport process more secure. According to the agency, there could have been three officers there during Lopez’s transport, instead of two.
“That will be part of us going backwards to determine how that escape happened,” TDCJ Chief of Staff, Jason Clark said. “And taking any precautions necessary in order to prevent that from happening in the future.”
There are prisoners in TDCJ custody, who may have court cases that could be delayed because of transports now being limited. It’s not clear how many are currently impacted by this. | https://www.ktsm.com/news/tdcj-suspending-inmate-transport-for-review-after-texas-inmate-escape/ | 2022-06-07T23:51:22Z | https://www.ktsm.com/news/tdcj-suspending-inmate-transport-for-review-after-texas-inmate-escape/ | false | 9 |
High prices are here for long term, householders warned
Consumers should prepare for an extended period of high prices even when inflation starts to ease, a Scottish economist has warned.
Professor David Ulph said that trend would have an impact on the cost of living for many people. Prices for petrol are expected to reach new highs in Britain this week while the cap on energy bills will rise to £2,800 from October.
Food prices are also rising sharply as companies deal with higher costs.
Wages are rising but they are not likely to keep pace with inflation, which hit a 40-year peak of 9 per cent last month. It means that people are experiencing a real-terms cut in their spending power. Some economic forecasters expect inflation to peak this year before falling | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/high-prices-are-here-for-long-term-householders-warned-8qf6t5jj3 | 2022-06-07T23:52:47Z | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/high-prices-are-here-for-long-term-householders-warned-8qf6t5jj3 | true | null |

Mom warns parents to be vigilant after 13-year-old paralyzed by pool accident
BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR/Gray News) - A North Dakota mother is imploring parents to be extra vigilant this summer after a teen she was supervising was left paralyzed at a pool.
It was supposed to be a day of fun when Saunda Cheek brought her children and their friend, 13-year-old Lillyana, to a pool party at Ramkota in Bismarck in April.
“Everything was normal, and kids were swimming, having fun,” Cheek told KFYR. “I was walking by the slide and I saw Lillyana standing up on the slide.”
All of a sudden Lillyana dove off of the slide, straight down into three feet of water, Cheek said. After the impact, Lillyana was floating face down in the water.
“I know she can’t hold her breath that long. So, I lifted her head and right away, I could see the fear in her eyes,” Cheek said. “And she was like, ‘I can’t move.’”
The 13-year-old was airlifted to a hospital and placed on a ventilator. While she has made great strides over the past two months, she still remains completely paralyzed on the right side of her body.
“A lot of guilt, you know, for being the one responsible at that time,” Cheek said.
Cheek is now raising money to help the family. Lillyana’s mom already works three jobs.
“She’s not even going to be able to bathe her at home because her wheelchair is not going to be able to make it into the shower,” Cheek said. “And a shower chair cannot even fit in their bathtub. So, she’s already trying to make arrangements to take her to hotels, you know, just to bathe her.”
As the weather heats up, Cheek implores all parents to have a pool safety chat with their children and always watch them in the pool.
“Things like this can happen in a matter of seconds, and it can change a lot of lives,” Cheek said.

TAMPA -- As the Tampa Bay Lightning try to become the first NHL team to win three straight Stanley Cups since 1983, they felt they needed all the good fortune they could muster. So they asked for "the ultimate act of fandom" from the Lightning faithful: lending their personal lucky charms to the team.
Which is quite a request, given how superstitious everyone is during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
They called it "A Call To Charms." The Lightning collected everything from jewelry to dolls to jerseys to a cardboard cutout of Bernie Lomax from the film "Weekend at Bernie's," and had fans place them inside a large transparent lightning bolt. At home games, the good luck charms are displayed in the concourse of the 300 level. The bolt is packed into a large trunk and travels with the team when they hit the road.
The fans who submitted their trinkets were spotlighted on the Lightning's official website. They include:
Raymond Bonn, "Barry the Stress Relief Cow" -- "During the five-overtime game [in 2020], he got trotted out and we just started squeezing. Of course, coincidentally, the moment he was squeezed, Brayden Point scores the overtime game-winning goal. Barry is a legend now," Bonn told the Lightning.
Stanton Family, "Lightning Tikis" -- The family created a Lightning-theme tiki heading into the playoffs, watched the team win the Cup, and then felt obligated to do one again this season for good luck.
Paul Driscoll, "Nikita Chiquita shirt" -- Driscoll ate a plum before every Lightning playoff game in 2020. In 2021, he switched to bananas. To honor the return of star winger Nikita Kucherov from surgery, he created a T-shirt with the Russian star as a banana that read "Nikita Chiquita."
RJ & Luly Martin, "Plastic Goal Light" -- "It was my mom's. She was a huge Lightning fan and she passed away three years ago. It just means a lot to be able to share our luck with the team, and now that she's still a part of the Lightning," Martin told the team.
So far, the Lightning have lived a charmed postseason life, advancing to the 2022 Eastern Conference Final -- further than any of the previous five teams that attempted a three-peat since the early 1980s. | https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/34054640/a-call-charms-mementos-fueling-tampa-bay-lightning-stanley-cup-run | 2022-06-07T23:59:49Z | https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/34054640/a-call-charms-mementos-fueling-tampa-bay-lightning-stanley-cup-run | true | 1 |
Cancer vaccine could stop tumours growing back after surgery
A GROUND-BREAKING cancer vaccine could stop tumours growing back after surgery, according to a study.
Scientists used technology from Pfizer’s Covid jab to target pancreatic cancer and found it boosts tumour-busting immune cells.
In a world-first trial by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, half of patients were still cancer-free 18 months later.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of the disease and three in four patients die within a year.
Dr Chris MacDonald, head of research at Pancreatic Cancer UK, said: “It is genuinely thrilling to see this progress in a cancer so under-served for so long.
“This is a very early, small scale trial but the results are certainly promising.
“We desperately need more treatment options for pancreatic cancer and a vaccine such as this would be a vital new weapon against the deadliest common cancer.”
Professor Özlem Türeci, chief medical officer at the vaccine-maker BioNTech, added: “We are trying to break new ground in the treatment of these hard-to-treat tumours and the results of this study are encouraging.”
The nine-dose vaccine uses technology called mRNA, which injects genetic code to make immune cells that target cancerous cells.
Scientists designed the mRNA in a lab to make the body attack mutant cells which normally slip under the radar and spread.
Most read in Health News
In the trial, the vaccine triggered an immune response in eight out of 16 pancreatic cancer patients, scientists revealed at the American Society of Clinical Oncology conference.
Their bodies produced killer white blood cells that kept cancer relapse at bay for more than 18 months.
Cancer grew back in six out of eight patients who the vaccine did not work for, with an average relapse time of 13.4 months.
Scientists do not know why the vaccine only worked for half of people, but hope they can make it work for all surgery patients - up to one in five cases.
Study author Dr Vinod Balachandran said: “These mRNA vaccines do appear to stimulate immune responses so we're very excited about that.
“The early results suggest that if you have an immune response, you may have a better outcome.
“The patients are, as of this moment, cancer-free and in active surveillance.”
Around 10,500 Brits get pancreatic cancer each year and treatment nearly always fails.
Actors Patrick Swayze and Alan Rickman both died of the condition within 18 months of being diagnosed.
BioNTech’s vaccine was given to patients with a type of cancer which accounts for 95 per cent of all pancreatic tumours.

Each vaccine is given by IV drip instead of a jab and is custom-made based on the DNA in the patient’s tumour.
Dr Balachandran added: “We hope these results can allow us to now test this mRNA technology in other cancers more broadly.” | https://www.the-sun.com/health/5513089/cancer-vaccine-could-stop-tumours-growing-back-after-surgery/ | 2022-06-08T00:01:11Z | https://www.the-sun.com/health/5513089/cancer-vaccine-could-stop-tumours-growing-back-after-surgery/ | true | 3 |
Modica – revenge. Thirteen years after a searing defeat in the kitchen, McDonald’s returns to Modica and returns to challenge Modica, who won the first half of a street food match.
McDonald’s will open soon in Modica Bassa, in the historic center, and will be in a pedestrian and car transit area.
In the first decade of the 2000s, the virtual Mac experience in the Sorda neighborhood caused quite a stir, in a place inaccessible to students, many of whom were not motorized and accustomed to snacking in places close to their school.
Realizing the error, this time American sandwich managers have located a strategic location that could force high-traffic for people who can get to a Mac on foot.
In 2009, Modica’s Kitchen, with its strength, was said to have defeated the international and unknown foodie of McDonald’s. Perhaps that is the case. But perhaps the location of the place also affected the sinking of that experience.
In a few weeks, the Mac opens in low Modica and the second half is played: Double Cheesburger, or scaccia di onion and tomato?

ABUJA, June 7 — An emergency management official on Tuesday confirmed at least 22 worshippers were killed and 50 others injured following an attack on a church in the country’s southwestern state of Ondo on Sunday.
The attack took place at the St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, a town in Ondo state, as many worshippers gathered at the church during the morning mass on Sunday.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said while conducting an on-the-spot assessment at the place, rescue workers had learned that about 700 people attended the church service and about 150 were feared to have been affected by the attack.
“So far, we have recorded 72 casualties. I can confirm to you that 22 bodies have been deposited in a morgue and 50 others are injured and receiving medicare at three hospitals in Owo. Two are government hospitals, and one is a private facility,” Kadiri Olanrewaju, who oversees the rescue operation of NEMA in Ondo, told Xinhua.
According to him, there might be more casualties, as it is believed that some of the victims might have been sent to other health facilities to receive treatment.
Ondo state governor Arakunrin Akeredolu on Monday declared seven-day mourning of the dead and ordered that flags be flown at half-mast at all public buildings in honour of the victims.
In a statement released by the presidency on Sunday in Abuja, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari condemned the heinous killing of worshippers. While mourning the dead and condoling with their families, the Nigerian leader charged emergency agencies to swing into action, and bring succour to the wounded.

Those in the European Union won't have to spend much more time rummaging around for a charger.
Cellphones and handheld electronic devices in the European Union will now be required to have a USB-C charging port, according to an agreement reached Tuesday by the European Commission, the EU's executive branch.
As of 2024, tablets, digital cameras, video game consoles, headphones, portable speakers, e-readers, portable navigation systems, keyboards, mice and earbuds will need to be equipped with the port.
Laptop manufacturers have until 2026 to implement the universal charging port in their products.
"No more bundles of different chargers in our drawers," Margrethe Vestager, executive vice president for A Europe Fit for the Digital Age, said in a statement.
"One common charger is a real benefit to us as consumers."
The EU hopes a universal charger will reduce carbon dioxide emissions and prevent waste, while also eliminating the costs of buying multiple chargers for different devices.
"The deal we struck this morning will bring around 250 million euros of savings to consumers annually," Thierry Breton, an EU commissioner for the bloc's Internal Market, said in a statement.
Chargers that were either unused or disposed contribute to roughly 11,000 tons of e-waste each year, according to the commission.
The universal charging requirement could impact major tech companies such as Apple, which has a unique "Lightning" connector for iPhones, iPads and other mobile products.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but the company has previously spoken against the move.
"We remain concerned that strict regulation mandating just one type of connector stifles innovation rather than encouraging it, which in turn will harm consumers in Europe and around the world," a company spokesperson said in a statement last September.

A payday loan can be a lifesaver when you get into a tight financial spot. It’s a short-term, unsecured loan that you can easily avail for quick cash. You don't have to worry about your credit score or complicated paperwork to get a payday loan, and you can use the money for whatever you want.
You can apply online to get the money you need right away. What's more? Payday loans are available in most states and can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
Making a Down Payment
One common use of a payday loan is to make a down payment for a car or home. So if you're short on cash and need to buy a house or car soon, a payday loan can help bridge the gap.
It’s especially helpful if you don't have time to wait for a personal loan from your bank. Within a few hours, you can get the cash you need to make the down payment. So you won't have to worry about missing out on a great deal because you don't have the money.
Buying Groceries
Nowadays, several online lending platforms offer payday loans, but every lender's view on payday loans is different. Some of them consider payday loans only a last resort for people in emergencies.
For example, CreditNinja.com online loans not only help people cover emergency funds but also everyday expenses, like groceries. So, they opt to offer you not just secured transactions but also quick and easy approvals. That way, you're not left waiting for a long time to receive the cash you need.
But be sure to budget your payday loan carefully so you can pay it back quickly.
Paying Emergency Medical Bills
If a medical emergency hit you, a payday loan can help you pay for the medical bills. You can use the money to fund the costs of your stay in the hospital and any treatments or procedures that your insurance might not cover.
Bridging a Gap Between Paychecks
If you're in between paychecks, a payday loan can help you cover your expenses until your next paycheck arrives. It’s an excellent option if you don't want to use a credit card or borrow money from friends or family.
You just need to be sure that you can pay back the loan when you receive your next salary. Otherwise, you could end up in even more debt. So make sure you budget carefully and only borrow what you need.
Paying Off Credit Cards
Having high credit card bills can be stressful and expensive. It might feel like you'll never be able to get out from under them. But a payday loan can help! If you take out a payday loan and use it to pay off your credit cards, you can start to get your debt under control.
You'll need to be careful, though, and make sure you don't fall back into the credit card debt trap. So make a plan to pay off your loan as quickly as possible. You don't want to add more interest and fees to what you already owe because some lenders will usually give you only two weeks to pay it off.
Paying Utility Bills
A payday loan can help you catch up if you're behind on your bills. You can use the money to pay for past-due utility bills, including water, gas, and electricity. It will help you avoid late fees and penalties and get your life back on track.
But don't let yourself get too far behind on your bills. If you do, the interest and fees on your payday loan will only add to your debt. Instead, try to stay ahead of your bills so you don't have to take out a loan.
Replacing a Car or Home Appliance
Living with an old car or home appliance can be frustrating. You might need a new one but don't have the money to buy it. But what if you could borrow the money and pay it back over time? A payday loan can help you do just that.
You can use the money to buy a new car or appliance and spread the payments out over a few months. It’ll help you avoid putting the purchase on your credit card. And you won't have to wait long for the money to arrive.
Final Thoughts There are many reasons why people might need a payday loan. But no matter what your reason is, it's important to borrow only what you need and can afford to pay back. So, be smart about using your payday loan and get the most out of it. | https://www.capemaycountyherald.com/7-common-payday-loan-uses-get-your-short-term-financial-needs-covered/article_f4014b78-e685-11ec-af44-07b1fd4c3664.html | 2022-06-08T00:11:48Z | https://www.capemaycountyherald.com/7-common-payday-loan-uses-get-your-short-term-financial-needs-covered/article_f4014b78-e685-11ec-af44-07b1fd4c3664.html | false | 1 |

Two arrested after passing out with drugs in car and kids in back seat, police say
BUTLER COUNTY, Ohio (WXIX/Gray News) - Authorities in Ohio are investigating a man and a woman after officers said they found two children in the back seat of their car in deplorable conditions.
The Monroe Police Department reports Justin Simpson and Stephanie Sandlin have been arrested after officers found the two passed out in a car with Sandlin’s kids in the back seat on Monday.
According to court documents, WXIX reports Simpson was slumped over the steering wheel of the car, and Sandlin was passed out in the passenger seat.
Sandlin’s twins, an 18-month-old boy and girl, were extremely hot and very sweaty in the back seat, according to police. They were also thirsty and filthy.
Police said the children were found sitting in old fast-food scraps with diapers that had not been changed.
Simpson allegedly had a small rock-like substance wrapped in plastic in his lap, which police said he later admitted was crack.
Sandlin, who had extremely dilated pupils and was very lethargic, had a crack pipe next to her, according to police.
Monroe police said Simpson faces a drug possession charge in addition to a child endangerment charge. The two were booked in Butler County.

NEW CANAAN — Victor Alvarez, a Democrat from New Canaan, will be opposing incumbent Republican Rep. Tom O’Dea in the upcoming race for the 125th District — one that includes New Canaan, Darien and North Stamford.
Alvarez, who rode his bicycle up to Mead Memorial Park for an interview on his campaign, illustrated how important he feels environmental awareness is and noted that he is keenly focused on being “fiscally prudent.”The first-time candidate has worked in finance for 32 years and currently works as a controller for a major publishing company.
“Most people don't align perfectly with their political parties,” Alvarez said. “I really like a lot of things about the Democratic Party. However, coming from a financial background, I consider myself to be fiscally prudent.”
Alvarez will be just the second candidate endorsed by the Democratic Town Committeee to oppose O’Dea in five elections. The last Democrat to oppose him was Ross Tartell, of Wilton, in 2018. The incumbent said he believed the trend was “indicative of my broad support across party line.”
Altough O’Dea said he would have preferred “to earn the ‘unofficial’ endorsement of the Democratic Town Committees in my district by not having an opponent, as I have in the past,” he said he welcome the opportunity to debate the issues. “I look forward to running on my record, reputation for bipartisanship and my priorities for the next session.”
He joined the Board of Finance last year because he supports “balancing your budget, not spending more than you're bringing in in revenue, and not incurring a lot of unnecessary debt,” he said.
He also considers himself a “constitutional enthusiast,” having studied the United States Constitution, the federalist papers and biographies of founding fathers, Alvarez said. “I believe that our system of government is a great system of government, but it’s messy.”
Above all, “I would want to focus on the issues and try to fix the issues that impact people's lives,” he said.
He advocates for local control and considers Connecticut’s affordable housing 8-30g statute “very imperfect.” There is “a good reason for the (affordable housing) law to exist, but let's make it more reasonable, more achievable,” he said.
The town would need to build nearly 20 buildings similar to the 102-unit development being proposed on 751 Weed St. with 30 percent affordable units to meet that goal. Instead of 10 percent, he would like to see the laws changed to have a goal of five or six percent. He would also like to make it easier to apply for a 8-30g affordable housing moratoriums.
If elected, he would like to be on the environment, transportation and energy technology committees.
“I'm a bike rider. I want to educate drivers about how to drive around more safely around bikes,” which he would do if he served on the Transportation Committee. He is also an advocate for creating incentives for using public transportation and educating people about its benefits. He hopes to significantly alleviate the congestion on I-95 and the Merritt Parkway and improve service on Metro North.
On the Energy and Technology Committee, he would work on improving the technology around transmission and distribution of energy. “Connecticut has a lot of wind resources that are untapped,” he said.
He hopes to improve the economy while “improving our prospects on climate change.” With an aim to create high-paying jobs “with dignity” in Connecticut, he would support attracting more renewable energy businesses. The state could “start taking jobs away from the fracking companies in the Midwest, and oil companies in Texas” because “the jobs are better here.”
As representative, he wants to curtail the distribution of health and election misinformation online, calling it “is extremely damaging.” The Connecticut State Legislature is a “laboratory of democracy,” he said, and he envisions taking the lead on gun laws, similar to passing the Red Flag Law, which 18 other states have enacted since.
Alvarez would like to expand background checks needed to purchase a firearm and enact ways to prevent individuals from owning a gun if they are battling mental illness; have been involved in domestic violence; were convicted of a violent crime, including misdemeanors; and have engaged in xenophobic content online. He would also support moving the age of being able to buy a gun from 18 to 21.
Alvarez supports “women’s rights to make their own decisions about their reproductive health care” and said that women’s reproductive rights were “under attack nationally.” | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/New-Canaan-s-Alvarez-running-opposite-O-Dea-17222461.php | 2022-06-08T00:39:43Z | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/New-Canaan-s-Alvarez-running-opposite-O-Dea-17222461.php | true | 1 |

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@squadperfect.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one squadperfect.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon
- Google Maps - Web mapping service from Google
Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

Many things have been said about Tom Brady’s departure from New England in 2020. One of the biggest rumors behind his exit was an alleged bad relationship with longtime Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
Together, they’ve built one of the greatest dynasties not only in football but in sports history, winning six Super Bowl rings during their time in Foxborough. So, to hear that they didn’t get along took many NFL fans by surprise.
However, publicly they have shown nothing but respect for each other. That hasn’t changed thus far, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback even heaped unexpected praise on his former coach recently.
Tom Brady’s comments on Bill Belichick should quell feud rumors
When talking about his future as an NFL analyst for Fox Sports once he hangs up his cleats, Brady reflected on his experience in football and gave Belichick a lot of credit for the way his playing career has gone.
“I love football and I care a lot about football, too. I’m always going to be involved in it one way or the other,” Brady said, via CBS Sports. “I was thinking about the opportunity to travel around and see these guys on different Friday afternoons and watching them practice and saying, ‘Hey, here’s a couple of things that worked for me.’
“[Talking to] different coaches. I was around the most amazing coach, in Coach Belichick, the most amazing coaches over a period of time. I played with Hall of Famers, Randy Moss to Ty Law to Richard Seymour. I feel like I have a lot of knowledge.”
It’s not the first time Brady shares public praise for Belichick, with whom he worked for more than two decades before taking separate ways. It would be safe to think they wouldn’t have accomplished what they did without each other, so it’s great to see there's respect between them. | https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-tom-brady-reveals-real-thoughts-on-patriots-coach-bill-belichick-20220607-0031.html | 2022-06-08T01:09:14Z | https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-tom-brady-reveals-real-thoughts-on-patriots-coach-bill-belichick-20220607-0031.html | true | 1 |
One of the largest residential development projects proposed for Penticton in recent memory is heading to a public hearing June 20.
The so-called North Wiltse Block development, which contemplates 686 residential units – 475 multi-family homes, 183 single-family homes and 28 duplex units – on Tuesday received preliminary approval from city council for the required zoning and Official Community Plan amendments.
Council’s unanimous decision was informed by the results of a preliminary public consultation process carried out April 5 through May 8 to determine if the project had enough support to merit further consideration.
The developer’s plans, which were tweaked slightly following the earlier consultation, call for a new collector road between Wiltse Boulevard and Partridge Drive, three crescent roads, several cul-de-sacs and two rear lanes. Neighbourhood parks, a park corridor and numerous wildlife trails and walkways are also included.
The new development would cover about a third of the 317-acre North Wiltse Block, which consists of two parcels at 850 Wiltse Blvd. and 160 Crow Pl.
Council also directed staff to work on cost-sharing agreements that will see the city cover 15% of the price of the required water system extension, estimated to cost taxpayers $300,000. All other infrastructure costs would be covered by the developer. | https://www.pentictonherald.ca/news/article_c317848e-e6b5-11ec-b889-9b73943953bf.html | 2022-06-08T01:13:00Z | https://www.pentictonherald.ca/news/article_c317848e-e6b5-11ec-b889-9b73943953bf.html | false | 1 |
Taco Bell opens first restaurant with high-tech drive-thru experience
Taco Bell opened its first high-tech restaurant location in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, under its new Defy concept, which aims to reduce service times to two minutes or less while providing a fun, easy and seamless drive-thru experience.
TACO BELL TO MAKE MEXICAN PIZZA A PERMANENT MENU ITEM AS SHORTAGES TEMPORARILY REMOVE IT
The two-story location, which broke ground last summer, features four drive-thru lanes, digital check-in screens for mobile order customers' unique QR codes, two-way audio and video technology for customers to talk to Taco Bell employees and a proprietary vertical lift designed by Minneapolis-based Vertical Works Inc. to transport customers' favorite menu items.
Three of the Defy concept's lanes will be dedicated to mobile and third-party delivery orders. Meanwhile, the fast food chain's fourth new lane will be dedicated to customers looking for the traditional drive-thru experience.

The location will be operated by local franchisee Border Foods, which has more than 230 Taco Bell locations across the Upper Midwest.
"Taco Bell Defy embodies the innovative, entrepreneurial spirit of Minnesota businesses and franchisees," Border Foods co-founder and CEO Lee Engler said in a statement. "It is a creative, technological solution for a faster, contactless experience for as many Taco Bell fans as possible and is poised to be the future of quick-service dining."
Taco Bell teased that many features of the Defy concept could show up at its restaurants across the U.S. in the future. The company's team is currently working with Border Foods to consider potential retrofits that could be made to several of Taco Bell Defy's neighboring restaurants.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants are going to be without starting pitcher Alex Cobb for the duration of their nine-game homestand and it remains unclear as to when first baseman Brandon Belt will be able to return.
The Giants on Tuesday placed Cobb on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Saturday, with a neck strain. Manager Gabe Kapler said the Giants are hoping Cobb can return during the team’s series June 17-19 in Pittsburgh.
Belt remains out indefinitely with inflammation in his right knee, although Kapler said the two-time World Series champion has not had a setback. Tuesday, Belt began running outside and taking ground balls.
Belt was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 22 and was not with the team during its 10-game road trip through Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and Miami.
“It’s about as significant as we thought it was,” Kapler said of Belt’s injury before the Giants opened a three-game series with the Colorado Rockies at Oracle Park. “Things are not perfectly predictable and swelling is not perfectly predictable. The strengthening of the (quadriceps) doesn’t happen as fast as you want it to happen sometimes.”
The Giants went 7-7 in Belt’s absence and entered Tuesday in third place in the National League West, 5½ games back of the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Giants’ series with the Rockies continues Wednesday and Thursday and a three-game set with the Dodgers starts Friday. The homestand ends with three games against Kansas City Royals from Monday to Wednesday.
“I’ve definitely gotten better,” Belt said, “but I don’t know where the endpoint is.”
Cobb’s last start came May 29 when he threw six innings in a 6-4 Giants win over Cincinnati. He’s recently had discomfort in both his back and hamstring and Kapler said as Cobb was dealing with those maladies, he began to have stiffness in his neck, prompting a stay on the IL.
“I guess that’s not all that unusual when it comes to like backs and necks,” Kapler said. “Just wake up stiff and you’re not able to get through it. So I don’t know what to make of it. He’s pretty frustrated, and rightfully so.”
Cobb had some mixed results before the neck injury.
He had a 2-1 record in his previous four starts, which included a solid performance against Colorado on May 11, when he allowed one earned run in 5 1/3 innings. He was lit up for a combined 13 earned runs in starts against the Rockies in Denver and at home against the New York Mets but had eight strikeouts in six innings against the Reds.
“He’s had some of the best stuff that he’s had in his career and he just wants his body to cooperate,” Kapler said.
RUF RETURNS: Outfielder Darin Ruf was activated from the bereavement list Tuesday after he attended his father’s funeral. Bill Ruf, 87, died May 30 and his service was held on June 3. He was survived by his wife, Mary, two sisters, five children, and six grandchildren.
“I can’t imagine losing my father, let alone in the middle of the season, trying to grind through a Major League season,” Giants third baseman Evan Longoria said. “I’m sure that it’s been very emotional.”
WADE UPDATE: The Giants’ injury situation isn’t all dour as outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. is set to start a rehab assignment Thursday in Sacramento. Wade, on the IL since May 30 with left knee inflammation, is participating in full baseball activities, including baserunning.
OTHER INJURIES: The Giants said left-hander Matthew Boyd (elbow) will throw his next bullpen Thursday in San Francisco. Anthony DeSclafani (right ankle inflammation) threw a bullpen Tuesday and is scheduled to start a rehab game this weekend. Steven Duggar (left oblique strain) remains on his rehab assignment in Sacramento. | https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/06/07/injuries-catch-up-to-sf-giants-starting-pitcher-who-lands-on-injured-list/ | 2022-06-08T01:15:11Z | https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/06/07/injuries-catch-up-to-sf-giants-starting-pitcher-who-lands-on-injured-list/ | true | 9 |

Patiala MP and wife of former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, Preneet Kaur visited the family of Sidhu Moosewala, and blamed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for Moosewala's death. Congress leader and Punjabi Singer and rapper Shubhdeep Singh also known by his screen name Sidhu Moosewala was murdered on May 29 in the district of Mansa by unidentified assailants.
Earlier, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Sachin Pilot also visited and expressed their condolences to the family of the deceased singer.
"The passing away of such a promising life is very saddening and unfortunate. As a mother myself, I can feel the pain and anguish of his parents and today, I have come here to share their pain," she told the media after offering her condolences to the late singer's family.

— Preneet Kaur (@preneet_kaur) June 7, 2022
The Patiala MP further stated that Moosewala couldn't be brought back but the state government can cooperate with central agencies and arrest the culprits at the earliest possible, which will bring solace to the family. The former minister of state in the Ministry of External Affairs also said that she wasn't visiting the kin of Moosewala in her capacity as a politician but as an individual.
"I am here as an individual not as a politician or from any political party. I am here as Preneet Kaur and also as the wife of Captain Amarinder Singh who couldn't come here due to some health issues," she said.
Lashing out at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Kaur blamed the state government for the murder and said that 'had the security not been withdrawn, followed by the decision's promotion in the media for cheap PR, Moosewala would have been alive.'
Punjabi rapper Sidhu Moosewala was assassinated on May 29 in his car by unidentified assailants, who covered his car from both sides and fired indiscriminately. The incident took place in Mansa, a day after his security along with that of 423 other VIP's was downgraded by the state government.
According to the post-mortem report, Moosewala's body had 19 bullet injuries and the Singer died in under 15 minutes after he was shot. The cause of his death was attributed to "haemorrhage shock" due to antemortem firearm injuries.
In a recent development, the Punjab police made changes to and reconstituted the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to speed up the investigation in the case. | https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/politics/congress-mp-preneet-kaur-visits-sidhu-moosewalas-family-blames-aap-for-singers-murder-articleshow.html | 2022-06-08T01:27:12Z | https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/politics/congress-mp-preneet-kaur-visits-sidhu-moosewalas-family-blames-aap-for-singers-murder-articleshow.html | true | 1 |
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has pledged to offer relevant support to the Ondo State government to help it recover from the effect of last Sunday’s terror attack on St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State.
It has sent emergency trauma kits and other support materials, including emergency medical personnel, to the state.
The WHO Country Representative and Head of Mission, Nigeria, Dr. Walter Mulombo, stated this when he led a team of the global agency on a condolence visit to Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu in Akure, the state capital.
Dr. Mulombo, who applauded Akeredolu for his prompt response to the situation, despite being outside the state when the attack happened, described the attack as unspeakable.
The WHO chief said the global body was trying to engage other UN agencies to come together and see how they could support Ondo State to recover from the unfortunate incident.

He said: “I have been engaged in many response emergencies and I can count on my fingers the number of time I saw a governor like that in the field going round, making sure things are right. I’m very encouraged and impressed.
“The WHO is committed to support your state to respond to all hazards and emergencies, including following up such unfortunate incident.
“I have come with my colleagues and also those working in the emergency departments, some specialists who can help in dealing with the situation, and our colleagues who will give social support.
“We also came with some emergency trauma kits and some other support materials. This is just a contribution and solidarity. We will remain available for any additional support as Ondo State might require to deal with this difficult situation.”
Akeredolu promised that such terror attack would never happen in the Southwest.
The governor said the terrorists “came to maim and kill” and not to kidnap anybody.
He said public places and religious centres were advised to install Close Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras in strategic places to enhance security.
“Where else is safe, if that sanctuary is not safe? In a war situation, even soldiers could run into church for safety. These are mad people. I’m not too sure they are human beings. They have lost their own humanity and there is no way you can regard them as human beings. I think they are animals in human skin.
“Initially, it was rumoured that the parish priest was probably kidnapped. But when we got there, the parish priest showed up and said nobody was kidnapped. Nobody. They did not go for the Sunday collection, and nothing was taken. Clearly, they were there to maim and kill,” Akeredolu said.

Head Coach Mike McDaniel met with the media prior to today's OTA. Check out the top quotes from his media availability.
(On the offseason program ending later this week)
"This is a cool, cool opportunity that's unchartered thus far, and I talk to these guys a lot and have put a lot of thought into this. We've had an offseason that we've been fully committed. We've learned a lot. We've gotten better. I think that the coaches have done a great job and the players have really attacked this offseason, which I guess I would equate to the first quarter of a game. I'm comfortable to say the way they've worked – I feel like we have a lead in the first quarter. What does that mean? Nothing. How many games are you winning in the first quarter that you lose and vice versa. So we've positioned ourselves to compete at a standard that we've said from the beginning that we want to compete at."
(On his positivity as a coach)
"I'd say I'm just a positive person only because the way I see the world is you're about the things you can affect moving forward and about being present. I wouldn't say that I was really approaching it like, 'hey, I want to be the positive coach' because I don't necessarily think that I am. I know that's how people take it from afar, but really I just want players' sole focus to be getting better at their craft and being the best player they can be. So I feel as though if you're able to be yourself, that's one less thing you're thinking about that's not getting better and perfecting your craft. So that opportunity cost is something that's important to me, so I want players to feel like they can be themselves. I also think that a concerted effort in a group forum – hence team sports, just that collective venture – is fun. The grind is fun, although in the present sometimes it doesn't feel like it is. But more than any of that, I know and I think the players would attest that the most important thing is that they feel like they have an honest coach because I can't help them if I can't give them honest critiques; and don't get it twisted, there are plenty of times in my own way that I'm very, very direct because that's what players are depending on. But it's not really about the positive. It's more about whatever the elixir is to try to maximize a given player's ability to perform which is a coach's job."
(On his coaching style)
"My style – I think I've learned a great deal from every situation. I think that's kind of the onus on the learner when you're in a situation. You're not necessarily mimicking your behavior towards a person. You notice what happens when A happens or B happens. For me, I just want there to be no question from any player what my intent, objective and where my motivation is coming from. So you don't really pattern yourself after anyone. You get used to that when you grow up as an only child with a single mom. I didn't really have an example on like, how to be a dude or whatever that is and that's kind of manifested itself in my professional life where you take things from each and every walk of life that you have. I would say that's probably different just because I've never really patterned myself after anybody. I just kind of – I'm honest with very deliberate intent and a genuine purpose to help players get better and I think you create a culture, not because this guy acts a certain way, but because you're really a group of people and the people that you employ and the people that you work with, if allowed, they dictate the terms of what the culture is. And that's what I think you're seeing on a day-in, day-out basis. I'm not like, 'Hey guys, have fun.' It's more like, 'Hey, this is your guys' team. Understand that now, own it and how far do you want to take it?' And the results are a collection of young hungry individuals that it's June, so we haven't played a game. But for where we're at right now and the way they're coming together, I'm very pleased at this part of the process."
(On where the offense is at near the end of the offseason program)
"This being the sixth different team that I've been in the same offense my whole career and we've just evolved it – this being the sixth different stop, you gain a little wisdom in that. There are compounding variables that you try to weigh. How good is the existing defense? Is everyone starting from the same starting point? Are they taking calculus courses while we're learning algebra? This is an extreme case relative to the other stops in my career because the defense was very, very productive and returning a lot of talented players. We also had an inordinate amount of additions, so it was a bunch of people learning to play together. With all of those circumstances that my career has afforded me, I feel extremely happy and confident where we're at. We have just enough taste of what we're good at and what we need to work on. We have a lot of deliberate pros that when guys are all in it and are thinking about it over the break and spending their summer getting away and recharging, but at the same time, revisiting all of the stuff that they've learned, there is a huge leap in those first couple of days of (training camp). Realistically, if I go play by play, player by player, I'm not looking for touchdowns or how many negative plays. I'm looking at how people are progressing and getting better each day against a defense that's refining their skills. I'm very happy with where we're at right now, which means absolutely nothing. There are a couple of plays I wish we would make here or there, but overall as an offense, I'm very comfortable and confident going into summer with what we've had an opportunity to do and who we're going against. It's a tremendous challenge and on both sides of the ball, I think we've gotten better this offseason because guys come to work and challenge each other, are talented, high expectations, competitive and try to win the day." | https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/top-quotes-coach-mcdaniel-media-availability-june-7 | 2022-06-08T01:29:45Z | https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/top-quotes-coach-mcdaniel-media-availability-june-7 | false | 1 |

Following his BET Awards snub, Lil Nas X suggests "this is about the bigger problem of homophobia in the black community."
Despite "Industry Baby" taking over the charts and being played just about everywhere you go, the BET Awards didn't quite think that Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow's fan-favorite was deserving of a nomination. We previously reported on Lil Nas X expressing his disappointment—and ire—about the BET powers that be snubbing him this go-'round, and he didn't mince words for the longstanding network.
"Thank you BET Awards. An outstanding zero nominations again. Black excellence," he tweeted when the nominations were released. "I try to be humble so bad but it's really f*ck you to a lot of you n***as."
Amy Sussman / Staff / Getty Images
It doesn't look like Lil Nas X is letting his foot up off of BET's neck, because he's continued to speak about the lack of acknowledgment by both trolling the network and speaking seriously about the topic of gay artists in the media.
A fan tweeted the singer-rapper, saying Nas X won a Grammy, suggesting BET not nominating him was a missed opportunity.
"This is my point exactly how can i get acknowledged by the most acclaimed award show in the world and then not even just 1 nomination from my own people? is that not crazy? am i really tripping," the rapper replied. Someone else told him he needed to address his team because they didn't release the right song.
"Talk to my team about what? industry baby is the 2nd longest running #1 song on the billboard rap charts of all time and didn’t get a single nomination," he flexed.

He recalled being at the club when Diddy made the demand and Cassie saying "whatever Sean wants, I'm gonna do it."
After defending himself against T-Pain's "cap" reaction to his last VladTV clip, another Yung Joc moment from his lengthy interview has gone viral. Joc has been dropping off tales pulled from memorable career moments, and in one story, he claimed that at Diddy's request, Cassie shaved her head after he told her to do it while out at a club. Diddy and Cassie dated for 11 years before calling it quits and within months, she had moved on to her now-husband Alex Fine.
"Me and Cassie sitting next to each other, my wife right here, Cassie right here," Joc explained. "The n*gga jumped off the bar, came over, and said, 'Yo, yo Cassie, tomorrow I want you to shave the side of your head."

"I was like, 'What the f*ck kinda request is that?'" the rapper recalled. "So, when I looked up there, this white woman had the side of her head shaved and the b*tch looked good with it. I said, 'Cass, you not 'bout to do that, are you?' She said, 'Well, whatever Sean wants, I'm gonna do it.'"
The singer's head-shaved cut became her signature look for years as she sported the style from one red carpet to the next with Diddy on her arm. It is unclear why Cassie and her longtime media mogul beau decided to pull the plug on their romance, but they've both bounced back. Diddy is now reportedly seeing City Girls hitmaker Yung Miami while Cassie and her husband Alex welcomed two children since 2019.

It’s already possible to record your screen on a Chromebook, but the built-in screen recorder is fairly basic. Google has now released an upgraded recorder that you can try out on your Chromebook.
Screencast is a new screen recorder for Chrome OS, with more options and features than the built-in recorder that has been available for a while. A camera feed appears at the bottom right corner of the recording, with your face and voice, and you can draw on the screen as you record. When the recording is finished, Screencast transcribes your words into text, and can upload the file to Google Drive for easy sharing.
The new app is mainly intended as a presentation tool for use in schools, but it can come in handy for other use cases too. For example, you could make a recording to show a friend or family member how to do a certain task on their computer, or use it to create a tech guide for publishing to YouTube and other sites.
You can try out Screencast by updating your Chromebook to Chrome OS 103, which is currently rolling out to all (supported) models. You can also just keep using the built-in screen recorder, which is accessible from the quick settings panel.

Madison City commissioners had many topics to go through Monday night during their regular meeting. They did the following:
- acknowledged an application for temporary retail (on-off sale) malt beverage license for DownTown in MadTown
- approved a corrected agreement with Flock Service Group for the police department. The previous agreement had a mistake on the recurring total, so it was fixed and the correct agreement approved.
- gave an update on the Madison Aquatic Center. This will be the last update the commission gives on the center, as things are now up and running smoothly. They are still looking for more lifeguards. They currently have 16 active and 6 in training, and would like 25 to 30 trained lifeguards to open for full hours.
- gave an update on recovery from the May 12 storm. Crews are nearly done with the first loop around town to pick up trees. They will do a second lap for trees, but no more. After they are done, they will only take another lap to pick up construction storm debris. The commission asks to be sure debris is placed on boulevards. The mayor also revealed that the trees that are taken away are ground up and go to help produce ethanol.
- authorized the mayor to sign an agreement regarding the City Hall and police station construction. This agreement removed a termination fee, meaning if the city pulls out of the project, they will not get charged for doing so.
- approved roof repairs for the Community Center at an estimated cost of $60,000 to come from the CC-MRR.
The commissioners adopted and authorized a number of measures regarding street projects:
- adopted Resolution No. 2022-26 to designate city administrator Jameson Berreth and Mayor Roy Lindsay as signatories.
- authorized the mayor to sign 2022G-ARP-163 and 2022G-ARP-164, grant agreements between the state of South Dakota and the city of Madison. The money will go towards replacing or repairing the sewer system and the water system.
- adopted Resolution No. 2022-27, which moves forward with the issuance and sale of the waste water bond.
- adopted Resolution No. 2022-28, which moves forward with the issuance and sale of the drinking water bond.
- adopted Resolution No. 2022-29, which set the water, sewer and sewage disposal fees, rates and charges. A surcharge of $11.45 will be implemented for each customer of the city’s system who receives or benefits from the services of the project financed by 2022-Drinking Water SRF loan with the borrower bond. Collection of the surcharge will begin on Jan. 1, 2024. The commission saids this will not cost people more.
- authorized the mayor to sign a Letter of Understanding with the First District Association of Local Governments, which establishes the district will assist with various activities regarding the street projects at no cost to the city.
The commission also discussed a few things regarding the planned assisted living project:
- adopted Resolution No. 2022-30, which adopted a tax incremental financing (TIF) district plan.
- authorized the mayor to sign the Project Plan Tax Increment Number Three and the Developer’s Agreement. | https://www.madisondailyleader.com/news/article_908924a2-e67c-11ec-9f59-1b69dda65df3.html | 2022-06-08T01:48:48Z | https://www.madisondailyleader.com/news/article_908924a2-e67c-11ec-9f59-1b69dda65df3.html | true | 1 |
French company Thales has completed the retrofitting of a modern European Train Control System (ETCS) on three of Porterbrook’s Class 43 high speed train vehicles, as part of the UK Digital Railway Programme.
Designed to be in-line with the latest UNISIG baseline (B3R2), the ETCS in-cab signalling technology will help improve performance, stated Thales.
It is also expected to minimise delays besides offering more safety and lowering expenses by removing trackside signalling.
Thales stated that ‘the project marks the first time that the firm has fitted the ETCS On-Board System in the UK’.
The company secured the retrofitting contract from Porterbrook in 2018.
The units are being prepared for full testing following successful level two testing at Network Rail’s Melton Rail Innovation & Development Centre over the last two weeks.
It will help reach ‘Approval to Place Into Service’ by the end of this year.
Thales onboard portfolio head Mark Newill said: “This milestone proves Thales’s capability to modify existing cabs with the new system so they can be ETCS-compatible.
“The multiple stakeholders involved all adopted a collaborative approach to get to the point where we can trial the system on an operational track.”
Last month, Thales supported the delivery of Tanta, Sedfa, and Al Ousayrat stations for the Egyptian National Railways (ENR).
These stations are within the rail corridor, spanning from Alexandria to Aswan through Cairo. | https://www.railway-technology.com/news/thales-etcs-porterbrook-class-trains/ | 2022-06-08T01:49:09Z | https://www.railway-technology.com/news/thales-etcs-porterbrook-class-trains/ | true | 1 |
SHANGHAI and HONG KONG, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Antengene Corporation Limited ("Antengene" SEHK: 6996.HK), a leading innovative, commercial-stage global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering, developing and commercializing first-in-class and/or best-in-class therapeutics in hematology and oncology, today announced that the first patient has been dosed in the Phase I STAMINA-001 trial to evaluate ATG-037 as a monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors in Australia.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, recommended Phase II dose and preliminary antitumor efficacy of ATG-037 as a monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab. Secondary objectives include characterization of the pharmacology of ATG-037.
ATG-037 is an orally available, small molecule CD73 inhibitor. CD73 is an "immune checkpoint mediator"1 that interferes with anti-tumor immune responses by generating adenosine, which leads to immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment. ATG-037 can reverse adenosine-mediated immunosuppression2. It has demonstrated promising preclinical efficacy as a monotherapy and in combination with ICIs and chemotherapy agents. In preclinical studies, this compound overcomes the "hook effect" that is common in anti-CD73 antibodies. In addition, GLP toxicology studies indicate the compound has a potentially wide therapeutic window.
"While ICIs are widely used in the treatment of various cancers, many patients have resistant or refractory disease, which has created a large unmet need," said Dr. Ganessan Kichenadasse, principal investigator, Southern Oncology Clinical Research Unit in Adelaide, Australia. "Mounting evidence suggests that adenosine plays a critical role in suppressing anti-tumor immunoactivity. CD73 can convert adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to adenosine. ATG-037, an orally available, small molecule CD73 inhibitor, can block the generation of adenosine. We are excited to be a part of the STAMINA-001 Trial. This Phase I study brings together a group of highly experienced Australian investigators to collaborate with Antengene. We are excited to assess the therapeutic potential of ATG-037 for patients with solid tumors as a single agent as well the exploring the opportunity for benefit with the addition of an ICIs."
"Developing agents that can act in the tumor microenvironment to reverse immunosuppression is one of the key focus areas for Antengene, " said Dr. Kevin Lynch, Antengene's Chief Medical Officer. "Preclinical data presented at the 2022 American Association of Cancer Research Annual Meeting (AACR 2022) showed that ATG-037 had a stronger ability to restore T-cell function in higher-AMP environments compared with anti-CD73 monoclonal antibodies. These data highlighted the potential therapeutic advantages of small molecule inhibitors of CD73 over blocking antibodies, either as a monotherapy, or in combination with other immune-oncological treatments. We have been very pleased with the drug's performance in preclinical studies and are hopeful that in this Phase I study ATG-037 can demonstrate the tolerability and signals of activity that will allow us to move forward into a broader development program. We are very excited about the start of this first in human clinical trial and look forward to next steps with ATG-037."
About the STAMINA-001 Trial
The STAMINA-001 trial is a Phase I multi-center, open-label, dose finding study of ATG-037 monotherapy or combination therapy with pembrolizumab in patients with locally advanced and metastatic solid tumors. Subjects will begin with two monotherapy cycles and then be allowed to receive the addition of pembrolizumab. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ATG-037 and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) and/or optimal biological dose of ATG-037 monotherapy and preliminary efficacy. Secondary objectives include characterization of the pharmacology of ATG-037. As a Phase I study, there will be intensive safety monitoring throughout the trial.
About ATG-037
ATG-037 is an orally-available, highly selective small molecule that completely blocks the activity of CD73. CD73, an ecto-5'-nucleotidase, catalyzes the conversion of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to adenosine. Adenosine production leads to significant immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment, now recognized as one of the most important immunomodulatory pathways in the tumor microenvironment.
Many human tumors overexpress CD73 and this expression is frequently associated with poor prognosis. Blocking CD73 has been shown to be effective in controlling tumor growth and metastases and CD73 inhibitors may increase the therapeutic activity of ICIs and chemotherapy agents. Clinical data so far indicate that CD73 inhibitors add little additional toxicity to standard of care treatments.

THERE IS something about hurling that keeps on bringing John Meyler back to the game time and time again.
s Wexford look ahead to their All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final with Kerry in Tralee on Saturday, who better to throw light on the challenge facing the Model county than our former player and manager?
Meyler has enjoyed quite a chequered managerial career, having been at the helm with Kerry, Wexford and Carlow along with Cork, whom he guided to an All-Ireland semi-final, only to lose out in a dramatic finish to the current Limerick outfit.
Born in 1956 in Our Lady’s Island, Meyler played both hurling and football for his native county, before moving on to study in Cork where he joined up with the great St. Finbarr’s club whom he captained to an All-Ireland Senior football title.
And a close affinity with Kilmoyley keeps Meyler involved in Kerry hurling, since he has brought the club on an incredible journey, coaching at one of the most progressive outfits in the county.
“I have been involved for 22 years with Kilmoyley,” he said. “They are doing so much for hurling in the county, but demographics are currently affecting such rural clubs, with people having to build or buy houses outside their areas.
“The club is confined with numbers, they have to amalgamate with another club for under-age.
“That’s the reality of the situation. It’s a huge issue when it comes to determining numbers in clubs,” Meyler added.
In the recent book, ‘Meyler: A Family Memoir’, John explained the appeal of Kerry hurling and Kilmoyley in particular.
“I have my favourite pitstop just outside Tralee and on summer afternoons will head to Banna Strand,” he wrote.
“A walk on the beach followed by a swim in the sea, dive around in the waves for ten minutes and when I come out of the water, I am energised for the evening.
“When I get to the pitch for training, I can unwind in a place where no one is going to pester me over the match the previous weekend, and I get to work with a group of willing people.
“It’s the only job in hurling I’ve totally enjoyed. No matter how bad things got, I always wanted to keep coming back to Kilmoyley. It feels like home.”
From this extract from an excellent book, that also details the soccer career of his son David, readers can understand why Meyler kept on returning to Kerry hurling and Kilmoyley in particular.
“On a general level, hurling in Kerry appears to be in a progressive place right now,” Meyler said.
“Traditionally hurling is confined to north Kerry. There are eight clubs there along with Kilgarvan down south, while in more recent years, the bigger population areas in the county of Killarney and Tralee Parnells have generated a strong interest.
“There’s also great work in Kenmare and Dr. Crokes in Killarney. They are achieving a lot.
“I have been 22 years with Kilmoyley. We defeated the Cork side Courcey Rovers last year to become the first-ever Kerry club to win the Munster Intermediate hurling championship.”
Given that hurling means so much to those involved, Meyler feels they will bounce back from their Joe McDonagh final disappointment.
“This will be a third week in a row for Kerry, having played Antrim over the past two weekends, enjoying a victory up north followed by that final defeat.
“But still it has all been positive with manager Stephen Molumphy doing so much for the team. This is a project so you can expect them to put up a serious challenge.
“This is a once-off game for Kerry. They have been in those situations in the past. I can go back to May 1993 when I managed the side to that shock championship victory over Waterford in Walsh Park.
“I can recall the day. Waterford were there in their suits, getting their photographs taken, but we had other ideas and pulled off a huge shock.
“It was massive for Kerry hurling despite losing our next game with Tipperary in Thurles.
“That’s the way Kerry will approach Wexford. It’s a once-off and they’ll have a right cut at it. Once they return to training this week they will look more towards recovery, and prepare for the game ahead.
“They have proved against Antrim they are capable of mixing it up there. For Kerry, the longer they are left in the game the more dangerous they can be.
“They got off to a dreadful start against Antrim but made an amazing recovery. Little calls went against them that could have seen them force extra-time. It was small margins in the end.
“The start against Wexford will be crucial. Wexford will try to gain early control as it will have become apparent to them that Kerry will not go away should they be left in the game.
“Wexford kept their championship alive with a victory over Kilkenny so they will be determined to deliver a repeat display. Lee Chin was back in top form, a huge plus, while Damien Reck has been dominant in defence in all games,” Meyler said.
“But the two recent games have shown the character of this Kerry side. While no doubt disappointed with a third McDonagh Cup final defeat in a row, they will still make Tralee a difficult venue for Wexford.
“Look, Kerry hurling is coming off a much smaller base than Wexford given the number of hurling clubs. However, the small group of clubs have put Kerry hurling on the map.
“As I’ve said, it’s a once-off and I expect Kerry to give it a real lash. We’ll see where that takes them.
“I expect a big north Kerry following in Tralee so the players will be determined not to disappoint them. The visit of Wexford is huge for the game of hurling in the county.”
As I spoke with Meyler on Monday morning, he had just completed a training session with Cork’s Under-15 hurlers.
“I am still involved at under-age level in Cork, still looking forward to Saturday and Tralee. I hope to meet up with you there for what could be a marvellous evening of hurling,” he said. | https://www.independent.ie/regionals/wexford/sport/gaa/john-meyler-has-a-foot-in-both-camps-having-been-at-the-helm-in-wexford-and-kerry-41729219.html | 2022-06-08T01:58:44Z | https://www.independent.ie/regionals/wexford/sport/gaa/john-meyler-has-a-foot-in-both-camps-having-been-at-the-helm-in-wexford-and-kerry-41729219.html | false | 1 |

The downstairs floor was rented out in recent years to various businesses, but previously housed the space for late owner and haberdasher Peter Dee’s clothing store, Peter Dee Co.
Mr Dee’s wife Joanna still lives upstairs and is selling the home.
“They’ve owned it since about 1985,” said Nelson Alexander auctioneer Arch Staver.
“After (Peter) closed his business he leased the downstairs space to an acupuncturist and a beautician.”
The ground floor also has two bedrooms, in addition to a bathroom, kitchen and plenty of storage space. Another kitchen is located upstairs.
Mr Staver believed the home was built around the 1800s as a pub, with the numbers 1876 marked at the top of the building a potential nod to its origin.
A basement cellar is also evidence of its former life as a pub, as is the “stunning” Victorian facade.
“I guess what make this a bit special is the rooftop terrace and garden,” Mr Staver added.
A number of potted plants are seen growing on the roof in the listing photos, next to the quaint courtyard which offers stunning views across the city.
Mr Staver said the home would likely attract someone who wants to work from home or run an enterprise on the ground floor.
“It would make a nice little office or home for any enterprise,” he said.
“It could also suit an investor.”

Honda has fully revealed the 2023 HR-V, the second generation of its subcompact crossover, with funky new styling and larger dimensions. This is thanks to the HR-V ditching its Fit hatchback underpinnings to instead borrow the latest Civic’s platform, and all 2023 HR-Vs are powered by the Civic’s naturally aspirated 2.0-liter inline-four making 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque. While there is only one engine option in the new HR-V, the crossover comes in three trim levels—LX, Sport, and EX-L—so we asked our editors to each pick one of the trims and spec it to their liking. Using Honda’s online configurator, here’s what we ended up choosing.
Tony Quiroga's $26,790 2023 HR-V LX
A Honda HR-V is a value play. With that in mind, my goal is to make the most of every dollar which is why I’m choosing the HR-V LX. At $24,895, the LX is the least expensive way to get an HR-V. Okay, so it doesn’t have heated or power seats and my front-seat passenger will be at my mercy since there’s only single-zone climate control. I won’t miss any of those things. I also don’t want an automatically dimming rearview mirror. I can dim my own rearview mirror, thank you. And I’m of the belief that ambient lighting makes cars look like cheap nightclubs, so I’m more than happy that the LX does without. I prefer extra headroom to moonroofs. The only bit I’ll miss in my basic LX is the leather-wrapped steering wheel. Every time I touch the plastic steering wheel rim I’ll be reminded of my cheap ways.
To help inattentive drivers, even the most basic HR-V comes with forward-collision warning, collision-mitigation braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assistance. I don’t particularly want any of those things, but the HR-V comes very well equipped should you be prone to zoning out when you’re driving. Since I know how to adjust my mirrors to avoid blind spots, I won’t miss the Sport and EX-L’s blind-spot monitoring system.
No matter the trim level, every new HR-V gets the same 158-hp 2.0-liter four and CVT automatic. In the interest of being able to accelerate from a stop without any wheelspin, my sole factory extra will be all-wheel drive for $1500. All-wheel drive might help resale value too, maybe. Probably.
All HR-Vs have identical LED headlights, the same four-wheel disc brakes, and even the suspension setup is identical from the base LX to the top-dog EX-L. Clearly, the best value is in the base version. Too bad there aren’t more colors available. The LX offers two whites, black, gray, and a very light green called Nordic Forest Pearl for $395 to bring the total to $26,790. I’m willing to pay to put a little color in my life and maybe for someone to wrap the steering wheel in leather. —Tony Quiroga
Austin Irwin's $27,480 2023 HR-V Sport
I’d be ecstatic if the new HR-V ended up being as fun to drive as the 11th-generation Civic it shares a platform with, but until we’ve driven one, we can’t say for certain. Admittedly, the use of the Civic’s base 158-hp powertrain and a CVT doesn’t give us much hope, but where other equipment is concerned, the HR-V Sport is like a Civic with extra real estate. At least on paper. The HR-V Sport starts at $26,895 (just $250 more than the similarly equipped Civic EX) and comes standard with black 18-inch wheels, remote start, and heated front seats. I don’t think all-wheel drive is necessary here. For the $1500 it costs to add all-wheel drive, I’d put that cash toward a set of Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 winter tires that would be more effective where traction is needed. Front-wheel-drive HR-Vs get an EPA-estimated 32 mpg on the highway, which is a 2-mpg advantage over the all-wheel-drive model, but far from the efficiency of a Civic hatchback or sedan with the same engine and transmission. The HR-V Sport is only available with black wheels, which go really well with the Nordic Forest Pearl paint ($395). Why choose a black cloth interior? Simple, it’s the only choice. Unlike both the cheaper LX and top-trim EX-L, the Sport comes with a chrome exhaust tip, giving it some much-needed zest to an otherwise very normal and polite-looking subcompact crossover. For $27,480, my HR-V is a less efficient yet more practical Civic. —Austin Irwin
Caleb Miller's $35,614 2023 HR-V EX-L
The HR-V’s exterior design doesn’t exactly appeal to me with its dowdy, overbite front fascia, so the only way to make the HR-V palatable was to throw all of the options at it. I started with the top EX-L trim at $27,450, which includes goodies like an eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat, nine-inch touchscreen, leather-trimmed seats, wireless Apple CarPlay, and an eight-speaker sound system. I spent $1500 for all-wheel drive and $358 for the All-Season Protection package II, necessities for the harsh Michigan winters.
I then went for the most outdoorsy look possible, choosing the Nordic Forest Pearl paint ($395) and the 17-inch HPD bronze wheels ($1400). I then added the $1402 HPD package, which includes silver trim around the base of the car, HPD badges, and a decal on the rear fender. I also specced the Rugged package for extra “ruggedness,” spending $1100 for chunky fender flares, door trim, and a grille surround trim piece. I blacked out the badges for $105, and spent $395 on a roof rack and $264 on a kayak attachment for the weekend adventures that I’ll probably be too lazy to take. At least I’ll look like I have an “active lifestyle.” After destination and handling, my HR-V came out to a total of $35,614. —Caleb Miller | https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a40218531/2023-honda-hr-v-build-spec-price/ | 2022-06-08T02:04:21Z | https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a40218531/2023-honda-hr-v-build-spec-price/ | false | 1 |
