Whether you attained your music taste through the 1960s or the ’90s, you might have found a major passion within the vast and entirely pleasurable stomping ground of rock music. Rock is an extremely ambiguous term in the modern-day because of its long existence and extensive evolution over that period. In its purest form, rock was born in the 1940s and ’50s with the early rhythm and blues musicians like Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry.
Since then, we’ve had a number of major fractures in the progression of rock music. For example, if you were around in the early 1970s, were you more of a prog-rocker or a glam-rocker? In the ’80s, were you a sucker for the synth-pop groups like OMD or The Human League? Or would you rather spin a Cure or Smiths LP and lament about how much better rock was in the heyday?
The truth is, rock is a very difficult term to define these days, and so naturally, you might wonder what I will be considering as rock and electronic today. When I say “rock lovers”, I simply refer to those who enjoy pop music of the late 20th century and alternative music of the modern-day that centralises itself on electric guitar sounds and manual drum beats.
By essential electronic albums for rock lovers, you might have started to rack your brains for electronic rock albums such as Primal Scream’s 1991 classic, Screamadelica or Radiohead’s Aphex Twin inspired tour de force Kid A. However, for the purposes of this article, I’m going to lump such albums in with “rock” and assume you already know and enjoy them if you’re an avid rock listener.
Instead, I’ve picked out five albums that dress more toward the electronic side, whereby most of the instrumentals are electronically produced or sampled from pre-existing songs. These five albums are essential for all music lovers, even if you fear or loathe electronic music.
Five essential electronic albums for rock music lovers:
Endtroducing….. – DJ Shadow
In 1996, American music producer DJ Shadow (Josh Davis) proved himself to be the Mozart of the MPC sampler in his seminal debut record, Endtroducing….. The album was most certainly one of a kind upon its release and has gone largely unrivalled and unparalleled in its field ever since. The music is solely created from samples that Davis expertly mixed together, and while some struggle to pigeonhole the genre, it sits somewhere between trip-hop, sampledelia and plunderphonics.
If you don’t have much time for electronic music because of its lack of punctuating lyrics or character, then please hold your horses and give this classic a listen. Not only will you be listening to a historical gem that served as the blueprint for countless subsequent artists in all walks of music, but you should also enjoy the unique mix of genres with samples from the likes of Giorgio Moroder, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Grandmaster Flash, Nirvana and A Tribe Called Quest.
Mezzanine – Massive Attack
In 1998, Bristol trip-hop legends Massive Attack dropped their third studio album, Mezzanine. The album is a hit-laden masterpiece wielding four breathtaking singles in ‘Risingson’, ‘Teardrop’, ‘Angel’ (feat. Elizabeth Fraser), and ‘Inertia Creeps’.
The album came as something a little darker after the group’s first two LPs, Blue Lines (1991) and Protection (1994). While remaining within the genre realms of electro, the album is a treat for any rock fans out there with its evocative lyrics and irresistible beats. The album also contains samples from The Velvet Underground, The Cure and Isaac Hayes.
Psyence Fiction – UNKLE
Two years after his breakthrough success in producing the aforementioned Endtroducing….., Josh Davis joined forces with British DJ and producer James Lavelle to release Psyence Fiction under the collaborative outfit UNKLE. The album follows the producers’ tried and mastered passion for instrumental hip-hop sample mixing, but fortunately for the rock lovers among us, they looked to move UNKLE in a more song-oriented musical direction for this album.
“My frustration was that I didn’t want to make weird instrumental hip hop records. We could’ve easily achieved that but I wanted songs,” Lavelle said of the record. “Listening to Richard Ashcroft was a revelation because I thought, ‘If I could bring that ilk of singer in with what I was hearing from Shadow I’ll crack it’.”
Lavelle indeed managed to achieve a song-orientated album with the help of collaborating rock musicians, most notably, The Verve’s Richard Ashcroft (‘Lonely Soul’), Radiohead’s Thom Yorke (‘Rabbit in Your Headlights’), Badly Drawn Boy (‘Nursery Rhyme/Breather’) and The Stone Roses’ Ian Brown (‘Be There’). This album is the essential bridge between rock and electronic music.
Moon Safari – Air
In 1998, the electronic duo Air released their seminal debut album, Moon Safari. I imagine a moon safari to be a calming yet cosmically stunning trip around the lunar landscape in some sort of space Jeep. The music within isn’t far from giving this experience too.
The French electro pair set the bar very high with this debut LP which is studded with dream-pop anthems including: ‘La Femme D’argent’, ‘All I Need’ and ‘Sexy Boy’. The album is essential for everyone, but its encyclopedic blend of genres, including jazz, rock and downtempo electro, makes it a feast for the rock lovers among us.
The Campfire Headphase – Boards of Canada
Scottish electronic duo Boards of Canada made the perfect ambient electro album for rock lovers in 2005 with The Campfire Headphase. The experimental blend of ambient, trip-hop and folktronica evokes vivid imagery despite the lack of words. If you usually shy from electronic music, you might find common ground with this record, thanks to its thumping beat drops and heavy use of acoustic guitar.
One half of the duo, Mike Sandison, once described the making of the album: “We usually imagine our music to have a visual element while we’re writing it, so we were picturing this character losing his mind at the campfire and compressing weeks of events into a few hours, in that time-stretching way that acid fucks with your perception.” | https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/five-electronic-albums-rock-lovers/ | 2022-06-08T11:30:33Z | https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/five-electronic-albums-rock-lovers/ | false | 1 |

The council has been working with stakeholders, partners, and the wider Melton Place Board to develop a draft outlook for the town and the view of local people are now being requested to help shape it further.
One of the ideas put forward in the draft plan is to convert The Bell Centre shopping mall, on Nottingham Street, into a food hub featuring local producers.
There are also plans to make better use of the cattle market site, Pera Business Park, Phoenix House and leisure facilities, with the aim of stimulating the local business and tourism economy.
Views of residents will be used to adapt and refine the future vision later this year.

Top Democratic leaders in Washington and across the country fear that Donald Trump might be running for president again by the time Attorney General Merrick Garland decides whether to prosecute him and others in his orbit for the January 6 insurrection -- and that any action by the Biden Justice Department could be cast by Republicans as little more than a political vendetta.
Two dozen leading Democrats in Washington and across the country tell CNN that Garland may have missed his moment to bring criminal charges against top Trump administration officials before it would get caught up in the 2024 presidential campaign jockeying set to begin later this year, after the midterm elections.
Garland, a longtime federal judge with a quiet demeanor, has vowed to keep politics out of decision-making at the Justice Department, though he says he is not avoiding political cases. And senior aides to the attorney general say they still have plenty of time in President Joe Biden's administration should they decide to bring any prosecutions against Trump or his allies.
The Justice Department has traditionally held to a 60-day window before Election Days to hold off on political prosecutions, which would put a cutoff date in early September. However, that usually has applied only to people who are on the ballot in the upcoming election.
But after months of staying quiet, even members of Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill are letting their frustration with that strategy boil over ahead of the first public hearing of the January 6 committee, scheduled for Thursday evening, charging that the attorney general is too focused on restoring norms.
"None of it makes sense to me," Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina told CNN of Garland's approach. "You can't take politics out of politics. All of these things happening around us are happening within the realm of the political process. You just do your job as best you can, and you can't go around second-guessing what may or may not be political."
Garland's pace, Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego of Arizona told CNN, could come at an enormous cost for the country.
"I'm just not seeing the urgency from the attorney general," said Gallego. "He's thinking more about protecting the institution of the Department of Justice. And I appreciate that, but he has to be thinking about protecting the institution of democracy."
Some Justice officials bristle at that criticism from Democrats, and they tell CNN that it comes off as self-serving and ignorant of important new developments, such as Monday's charges of seditious conspiracy against several Proud Boys members. In recent weeks, there are public indications that the investigation has moved beyond the rioters who attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021, to people who played roles in setting up the rally ahead of the attack and who supported political efforts to stop the certification of the election.
As CNN reported in May, federal criminal investigators have expanded the investigation to gather information about fundraising and organizing for the political rally held immediately before Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, as well as the effort to subvert the Electoral College vote count. The criminal probe into efforts overseen by Trump campaign officials to put forth alternate slates of electors to displace Biden electors also has widened to multiple states.
Justice officials tell CNN they believe that moving slowly and saying little bolsters their credibility, something they'll need as they investigate people associated with the 2020 Trump campaign. Even so, prosecutors have charged more than 800 defendants as part of the largest investigation in US Justice Department history.
Prosecutors are also operating on legal calendars, not election schedules, and the statute of limitations for many of the January 6 offenses is five years -- ending in January 2026. Complex criminal cases take time, and Justice officials say that moving quickly to satisfy critics risks doing even more harm to American democracy. The worst-case scenario would be to bring cases that fall apart at trial.
One of Trump's favorite political moves is to promote whatever he can to suggest he is being victimized, or, even more so, that he has been exonerated.
Getting tangled in political cycles
The longer the investigation stretches on, though, the likelier it is that any potential prosecution gets tangled up in the 2024 political cycle. The last thing prosecutors want to see is their work portrayed as a political witch hunt.
The White House stands behind Garland, saying in a statement to CNN that he has shown competence and dedication "every single day of the administration."
The Justice Department declined to discuss the criticism on the record, but at a news conference last month on an unrelated matter, Garland alluded to the general critique.
"Justice Department investigations typically proceed in relative secrecy," he said. "If we let all possible witnesses know exactly where we are at exactly what moment, it makes it very difficult to do our job of ensuring that the laws are not violated and that those who are accountable are brought to justice."
In a Harvard commencement address last week, Garland said the insurrection was a "direct attack" on democracy.
"We will follow the facts wherever they lead," he said.
A Justice official declined further comment beyond Garland's own words.
For many Democrats, though, the time frame remains their biggest worry. Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat who's a member of the January 6 committee, argues that a long delay risks inadvertently establishing that the president is above the law.
"This seems to be something that goes beyond, 'You have to have more than a reasonable doubt before you indict the king,' to 'You can't even start an investigation into credible allegations of criminality of the king," Schiff said. "I don't think the Founders would have ever countenanced that. In fact, I think they would have been aghast at that."
Schiff said he doesn't know whether to interpret last month's Justice Department request for transcripts of all the committee's interviews as evidence it's being thorough or just getting started. But for all the complaints about Garland's pace, sources familiar tell CNN that the department still hasn't been sent the materials.
Still, Democrats say they're reflecting their own and their constituents' concerns that they hear back in their districts.
"I want it done well, and want it done right, and want it done thoroughly," said Rep. David Cicilline, a Rhode Island Democrat who's a member of the House Judiciary Committee. "But it feels like waiting too long and waiting until it's closer to an election makes it harder for it to be treated as a serious prosecution free from political interference."
Dana Nessel, the attorney general of Michigan, worries that federal prosecutors might run out of time.
"The last message that I want to convey is that if you take action to compromise our system of elections, there will be no accountability, because that will inspire more people to engage in illegal conduct," said Nessel.
Rep. Mondaire Jones of New York, a member of the Judiciary Committee, said he would "never want to tell a prosecutor how to do their job."
"Most Democrats who have been paying attention to the rise of fascism within the Republican Party and the persistence of Donald Trump as a singular powerful figure within that party are surprised," Jones told CNN. "I would never want to tell a prosecutor how to do their job, but what I worry about is a squeamishness and a misguided, presumptuous feeling on behalf of the attorney general that not prosecuting Donald Trump is critical to the survival of civility in American politics."
Critics coming around
Former Assistant US Attorney and Judiciary Committee member Rep. Ted Lieu of California said he wouldn't want to see Garland try to go after Trump with a misdemeanor -- but if that's all the January 6-related evidence points to, the attorney general should at least go after the former President on the obstruction of justice charges that were laid out and untouched in the Mueller report, Lieu said.
The action between the Garland statements, though, has turned some critics around.
Lawrence Tribe, the well-known left-wing Harvard Law professor whose Twitter feed has been a prime source of sniping for much of Garland's term, said he's come around. This week's Proud Boys indictments and the arrest of former Trump aide Peter Navarro, Tribe explained in an email to CNN, "reassure me even further about how methodically, aggressively, and apolitically Merrick Garland is pursuing the attempted coup and the insurrection all the way to the top."
The White House isn't allowing a glimmer of public doubt.
Spokesman Andrew Bates told CNN that Biden had chose Garland "because he would be loyal to the law and our Constitution and not be influenced by politics. The Attorney General has displayed those qualities, as well as his dedication to duty and his competence, every single day of the administration—reinforcing that the President made the right choice for the job."
The White House's extensive statement of support noted Garland's independence and integrity and concluded, "President Biden is immensely proud of the Attorney General's service in this administration, and has no role in investigative priorities or decisions."
Cedric Richmond, who recently departed as a White House adviser, said he believes the Justice Department must balance the speed he knows many want with restoring the attorney general's office from the days when Trump openly talked about viewing the role as his personal lawyer.
"Having a political AG would be a mistake," Richmond said. "When he acts, he will have the credibility of being thoughtful and independent, and following the law."

Kevin Huerter, upon entering the 2018 NBA Draft as a 19-year-old, two years removed from graduating Shenendehowa High School, looked to establish himself in the world's best basketball league as he heard his name called by the Atlanta Hawks with the 19th overall selection.
Four years later, the 6-foot-7 Huerter is now a valuable member of the Atlanta franchise. Proof of that status is the 23-year-old landed a second fully-guaranteed contract with the Hawks that will pay him 65 million dollars over his next four years.
Huerter has entrenched himself as a valuable player in the NBA, averaging 12.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in a 2021-22 campaign where he also earned the Sekou Smith Award from the Atlanta media as the team's most cooperative player to deal with. Huerter is grateful to the people that put him in the position to succeed and now wants to help Capital Region players looking to enhance their basketball aspirations.
In wanting to give back, Huerter has found two different avenues to do just that: by conducting a pair of basketball camps held at Halfmoon's Impact Athletic Center and establishing the Kevin Huerter Foundation to help those in less fortunate situations.
"Bringing relationships and the NBA to upstate New York is big," Huerter said. "Growing up, there wasn't a specific NBA team I followed and there was no one from the area playing to look up to. I thought, 'how can I bring that presence back to the community and have camps that build interest?' It is a lot of fun. As I get older, you meet more and more people. I think having NBA guys working camps, the people there appreciate it getting to see them and hearing different perspectives."
Huerter Basketball Camps will conduct two different camps this summer. The first will be held July 11-15 and the second is set for August 1-5. The morning sessions to be held from 9 a.m. to noon for younger kids and the 1-4 p.m. afternoon time will be reserved for high school athletes.
"It is the whole community engagement thing. For me moving forward, it is starting with the youth and getting high school players from around the area to work with the NBA and college guys that have gone away and have come back," Huerter said. "I think I see that me getting everyone together under one roof. I think it will be a really nice basketball atmosphere if we can get these camps going the way we want them to.
"It is like what your parents tell you, 'you are trying to leave places better than when you found them?' Obviously, we're trying to give back to the community."
As he grew up with his older brother Thomas, the siblings subscribed to Sports Illustrated for Kids and filled a wall with those magazine covers that included shots of their two favorite NBA players Dwayne Wade and LeBron James. Huerter, who played two years at the University of Maryland before declaring for the NBA Draft, understands kids attending his camp will have rooms filled with images of him.
"When we were younger, we went to the Siena camps and we did the (Greg) Koubek overnight camp," Huerter said. "I did the Koubek camps when I was younger and we transitioned into the Siena camp. When I got older, I worked at the Koubek overnight camps.
"There are kids you remember. When I was at the Fast Break Camps working at Shen, Mason Courtney was one of the those kids there as a middle-schooler running around. Now we have seen where he has taken his game going to Siena. Going to the Koubek camp, my brother met his fiancee. They were both counselors. They meet each other there and eight years later, they are getting married."
Koubek, a star player at Shenendehowa who went on to play in four straight Final Fours at Duke University, is currently serving as the General Manager of the Sports Academy (formerly known as the Mamba Sports Academy created by Kobe Bryant). Huerter hopes both his camp and foundation can become impactful parts of the area's hoop community.
"The foundation were putting together is a lot of youth welfare and creating athletic opportunities for underprivileged and economically challenged people," Huerter said.

Woodsist Festival, a two-day music festival at Arrowood Farms in Accord, will return Sept. 24-25 with a typically eclectic lineup announced yesterday. The headliners for this year’s festival are Waxahatchee, Guided by Voices, Sun Ra Arkestra and Woods. Other performers include Laraaji, Les Filles de Illighadad, Mary Lattimore, Myriam Gendron, Medeski and Martin, Bonny Doon, Pachyman, Mind Maintenance, and the Reds, Pinks and Purples.
This will be the third iteration of the festival at Arrowood Farms, which is becoming an increasingly popular venue for outdoor music festivals. The popular farm brewery hosted Dirt Farmer Festival last month and will hold Follow the Arrow on June 18.
“What we’re trying to do with the festivals is connect people back into a sense of community, and back to this sense of agriculture and camaraderie,” Jacob Meglio, co-founder and managing partner of Arrowood Farms, told the Times Union last month.
As with the Dirt Farmer and Follow the Arrow festivals, Woodsist is produced by Ulster County-based Impact Concerts, a booking agency that curates musical events throughout the Hudson Valley and Catskills. This time they are working in partnership with the Woodsist record label and Ground Control Touring. Tickets are available now.

Tottenham have announced the signing of England goalkeeper Fraser Forster on a free transfer from Premier League rivals Southampton.
The 34-year-old will join Spurs on a two-year contract on July 1 following the expiration of his Saints deal.
He is expected to provide back-up for Hugo Lloris in north London and most likely to play in the domestic cup competitions.
Forster made 162 appearances over an eight-year spell at St Mary’s, including 24 outings in all competitions last season.
He has been capped six times by his country, with his most recent call-up coming in March.
Forster travelled to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and was also part of the Three Lions squad for Euro 2016.
Having begun his career with Newcastle, he spent time on loan at Stockport, Bristol Rovers and Norwich before two successful season-long stays with Celtic resulted in a permanent move to the Scottish club in 2012.
He joined Southampton two years later and, after losing his starting role on the south coast, returned to Celtic Park for the 2019-20 campaign before later returning to favour under Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl. | https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/06/08/fraser-forster-to-join-tottenham-on-free-transfer-from-southampton/ | 2022-06-08T11:44:28Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/06/08/fraser-forster-to-join-tottenham-on-free-transfer-from-southampton/ | false | 12 |
TULSA, Okla. — It has now been one week since the tragic shooting at the Natalie Building on the Saint Francis campus, where four people were killed by a gunman.
It took Tulsa police just minutes to arrive on the scene.
In a special interview only on 2 News Oklahoma, Tulsa Police Chief Wendell Franklin sits down with morning anchor Justin Fischer.
Chief Franklin spoke about the day's tragic events, the response from his department and the Tulsa community.
He said, it's impossible to know exactly what would have happened, but he believes those officers that didn't hesitate, and initially went in, saved lives.
"There were officers in the right area at the right time that immediately responded. There was an officer that was on a traffic stop. And I believe he was the first unit arriving there because he was just right down the street," says Chief Franklin. "There were two officers that were off duty had just left work and they were picking up picking up dinner at at one of the restaurants nearby. They responded up there and I believe they were like the third or fourth person into the into the room into the building."
According to officials, officers went onto the second floor and identified themselves before they heard the final gunshot.
Chief Franklin also talked about what goes through the mind of an officer, as they race toward a threat:
"When we respond to that, we know that all of our safeguards that we would normally have to ourselves, we have to throw those out of the window and respond with the intent to engage, it is going to in our minds, it's going to be a violent engagement. It is going to be a bad day to be a police officer. But that is the mindset of every officer that entered that building. There were officers that enter that building that did not have their vest on. Because they were quickly trying to get into that building to save lives. And they disregard the safety of themselves to to engage that person or to change that person's behavior. To save lives."
Chief Franklin said there is probably not a person in his department that didn't have some kind of affiliation with one of the victims.
He said during his follow up with his officers after the shooting, he told them that none of us are promised a tomorrow and to tell those close to you that you love them.
The Saint Francis Tulsa Tough is coming up this weekend.
It's three days of non-stop cycling and plenty of entertainment throughout Tulsa.
It comes, though, at a solemn time in our city.
Chief Franklin, a Tulsa native, talked about the event saying he wants the community to know that the men and women on the Tulsa Police force are here for them during this tough time.
"I think we're resilient community. I think the community wants to commemorate the moment, but also realize how important it is to live. So this is a great event for that."
He also understands that people might be anxious to get out but wants to reassure the community that TPD is in their corner.
"I understand people's anxiety about being out and about in our city. But I hope they realize that they have a lot of great men and women in uniform behind the badge that that are looking out for them and doing all that we can to ensure that everything remains safe," says Chief Franklin.
We'll have much more from that conversation in the coming days here on 2 News. Again, a big thank you to Chief, the Tulsa Police Department and New York Bagel.

Moderna says updated COVID shot boosts omicron protection
(AP) - Moderna’s experimental COVID-19 vaccine that combines its original shot with protection against the omicron variant appears to work, the company announced Wednesday.
COVID-19 vaccine makers are studying updated boosters that might be offered in the fall to better protect people against future coronavirus surges.
Moderna’s preliminary study results show people given the combination shot experienced an eight-fold increase in virus-fighting antibodies capable of targeting the omicron mutant, the company announced.
Today’s COVID-19 vaccines all are based on the original version of the coronavirus. They’re still providing strong protection against severe disease, hospitalization and death even after the appearance of the super-contagious omicron variant -- especially if people have had a booster dose.
But the virus continues to mutate rapidly in ways that let it evade some of the vaccines’ protections and cause milder infections.
So U.S. regulators, and the World Health Organization, are considering whether to order a change in the vaccine recipe for a new round of booster shots in the fall -- when cold weather and kids returning to school are expected to drive yet another surge.
Key questions: How to make that change without losing the continued strong protection against COVID-19′s worst outcomes? And what’s the right variant to target? After the huge winter omicron surge, that mutant’s genetically distinct siblings now are the main threats, including one that’s fueling the current U.S. wave of infections.
The Food and Drug Administration has set a meeting in late June for its scientific advisers to debate those questions and evaluate data from vaccine makers’ tests of potential new formulas. Pfizer also is studying a combination shot, what scientists call a bivalent vaccine.
Moderna said its new study found that a month after the combo shot, recipients harbored higher omicron-fighting antibody levels -- and cross-protection against other prior variants — than the original vaccine triggers. However, antibodies naturally wane so it’s not clear how long the protection against infection will last.
The study was performed in 437 people, and safety was similar to today’s boosters, Moderna said. The results were announced in a press release and haven’t undergone scientific review.

Today, we are going to show you the transformation of a home that time clearly forgot into a modern marvel and we just know that if you are languishing in an old fashioned house that is making you unsure of where to begin, you'll find all the inspiration you need to make a start, right here! To say that the decor here was awful would be a generous understatement, but it's amazing what a talented interior designer with a modern vision can accomplish. We seriously take out hats off to the professional that masterminded this renovation, as the end result is totally unrecognizable. Let's take a look!
We are struggling to find the right words to describe this room, so we think we might just go with atrocious! The split-level floor looks so old fashioned and then there are the colors being used. The wood is way too dark, the patterned red carpet is a nightmare and good grief… just look at those curtains! Literally nothing about this space works!
Now this is a living room full of promise! The split level flooring has been rectified and wonderfully renewed with pale wood and just look at how lovely the balcony here is! We never noticed it before, thanks to those tragic curtains that have, thankfully, been removed. The ceiling lighting is an absolute triumph too, with edge illumination and soft spotlights keeping everything sleek and modern. We had no idea that this space could look so chic!
We honestly can't tell what this area is meant to be! Is it supposed to be somewhere to sit and watch television in comfort? If that is the case, it has failed miserably and looks to have become a dumping ground for awful furniture and a dated fireplace! What's with all the weird walls too? How confusing!
This is a far more usable area now and makes so much more sense than how it used to look! A built-in television and storage unit looks great and helps to smooth and level everything out and is that a new, inset wood burner? What a great way to keep functionality, but with a modern twist! The muted tones everywhere really help to make this apartment feel more cohesive and thought out too!
You don't have to totally negate your more unique ideas when renovating an outdated home, as this bamboo installation shows! We love how this offers a non-opaque method for dividing a room and it looks so tonally perfect with the wooden floor too!
Wow! What a great use of a relatively small space! Using a galley-style layout has really maximized the storage and counter potential here and by sticking to white gloss cabinets, the room looks light and bright too. The contrast with the wooden floor looks beautiful and striking and for an extra splash of color, apple green walls really look amazing! All that under-cabinet lighting will certainly come in handy too!
It seems that green is a much-loved color in this apartment and we are really seeing why! The wet room installation here feels fresh and fun, with small mosaic tiles striving to make the room feel much bigger. It would have been so easy to go with all-white everything in here, but we are really enjoying the bold use of color, as it makes a functional space a lot more interesting!
For another fantastic transformation, take a look at this article: Renovation: a Fifties-style house made fashionable. | https://www.homify.com/ideabooks/2087825/a-miraculous-transformation-of-a-dull-house | 2022-06-08T11:56:21Z | https://www.homify.com/ideabooks/2087825/a-miraculous-transformation-of-a-dull-house | false | 1 |
As the mid-term election season starts to ramp up, locals may start noticing political advertisements popping up around town, and one of the most closely watched Albany County races will be for sheriff.
Five candidates have filed to be the county's next top law enforcement official with Republican and Democrat hopefuls set for an Aug. 16 primary showdown. They are, in alphabetical order:
Aaron Appelhans
Appelhans is the current Albany County sheriff, appointed to the office in 2020. He's running for his first full term as a Democrat. He's the first Black person to serve as a sheriff in Wyoming.
Appelhans also has 10 years experience working with the University of Wyoming Police Department.
Since being appointed sheriff, Appelhans said his top priorities have been to increase transparency, inclusivity and diversity in the Sheriff’s Office. He said that while the department has made progress in these areas, there’s still more work to be done.
“As much as we’ve accomplished, I don’t think I’m finished,” Appelhans said during an interview with the Boomerang.
The largest changes he made to the department so far have been a reimagining of recruitment practices and an overall change in culture, Appelhans said. He made it a point to recruit from traditionally underrepresented groups and has personally approved every new hire.
He also prioritizes working toward a community-based response system that includes collaborations with local mental health advocates and other community groups.
“Sometimes the (Albany County Detention Center) gets to be a catch-all for everybody, and that’s not necessarily a good thing,” Appelhans said. “The detention center is a temporary holding facility. It’s not a hospital, detox facility, substance abuse clinic or mental health clinic.”
Appelhans also said he wants to work toward increasing education and enforcement about traffic violations, especially those involving intoxication — something that has been on the rise in Albany County.
On transparency, Appelhans said he would be willing to consider forming an external complaints process for the Sheriff’s Office, but has some legal concerns about creating a civilian oversight board.
He said one of the favorite parts of his job is building collaborations between the Sheriff’s Office and the community and helping others.
“It’s been a ton of work, but it’s all been for good,” he said.
Rafael Delgadillo
Delgadillo, who has about 30 years experience working in law enforcement in California, is running as a Republican, choosing to come out of retirement to pursue the position of Albany County Sheriff.
During his time in California, there were calls to defund and undermine the authority of police, Delgadillo said. He felt inspired to search for a place to live that better reflects his values, and he settled on Laramie, where he’s been for eight years.
Delgadillo has experience working at various level of law enforcement and has been a deputy sheriff and sergeant. Since moving to Wyoming, Delgadillo has been a precinct and state committeeman for the local Republican Party.
“This is my home,” Delgadillo said of Laramie. “I’ve made the commitment and this community is going to get the benefit of the experience I made elsewhere, here.”
Delgadillo was inspired to run for sheriff after hearing about past issues with use of force and case management.
“I realized that with the experience I have, I could actually improve that environment,” Delgadillo said. “In the environment I grew up in, police were always involved with the community.”
Not every problem requires a law enforcement solution, and the sheriff should work with mental health advocates and other community agencies, Delgadillo said. He believes that instilling values of collaboration and community involvement in deputies would result in a better department overall.
“The sheriff sets the tone for the department,” Delgadillo said. “I believe all people are equal before the law, and all police services are to be made without bias within the law.”
Delgadillo said he encourages direct conversation between law enforcement and residents. While he has concerns about how a civilian oversight board could impact employee privacy, he would be open to forming a group that involves law enforcement and community members.
“People have every civic responsibility to hold their police responsible and we have the responsibility to respond to that,” Delgadillo said.
Zeb Gladney
Gladney is running for sheriff as a Democrat. He works as a patrol deputy with the Albany County Sheriff’s Office and has been with the department for about five years.
Gladney has lived in Laramie for most of his life and said running for sheriff is a way for him to be active in the community and gain campaign experience.
“I see myself being engaged and active in the community for a long time, and I thought this was a good way to share my thoughts with the community and get involved,” Gladney said.
His top priority for the office is to make it as transparent as possible. He expressed a desire to make the department’s services to the community the best they can be by hearing civilian concerns and responding to them effectively.
“I’ve seen this community question law enforcement,” Gladney said. “I would like to bring about absolute full transparency, and I’d like to see full involvement with law enforcement agencies.”
Gladney said he'd hold community forums at least once a month where people could meet with the sheriff and deputies and discuss issues they’re concerned about. He also would like to hold a biannual public meet-and-greet and continuously send out press releases as notable incidents happen.
“(I want to) bring issues to light so we as a community can discuss them, debate them and figure out possible avenues to approach,” Gladney said.
He’s also interested in the idea of an external complaints system for the department. He would be open to a civilian oversight board only if all of the members were fully trained on every aspect of a law enforcement job.
“I think no matter who is running each agency, things can always be better,” Gladney said. “There’s always room to reevaluate what you’re doing and why you’re doing those things."
Curtis Lee Moore
Moore, a Democrat, is a patrol sergeant at the Laramie Police Department.
Originally from the Washington, D.C., area, Moore has been with LPD since he moved to Laramie in 2000. He said he's is running for sheriff with hopes of continuing his career in public service and mentoring young law enforcement professionals.
Prior to the LPD, Moore worked for the Blacksburg Police Department in Virginia. He has experience with crisis intervention, verbal de-escalation, domestic violence and intoxicated driving arrests. His most valuable experience comes from real life situations, he said.
“I have communicated with citizens that have many different backgrounds and feel as though I can talk to anyone and put them at ease no matter their situation,” Moore said.
If elected, Moore’s primary goal would be to increase openness and transparency in the Sheriff’s Office. He also highlighted the importance of continued training.
Allowing the community to see what patrol and detention deputies do on a daily basis would be an important step toward transparency, he said. Inviting residents to trainings when appropriate and creating a ride-along program are some of his ideas to increase this involvement.
“I believe it is paramount for folks to be informed with anything pertaining to safety and the well-being of them and their families,” Moore said. “I am a proponent of the ‘open door' policy and would embrace the chance to talk to any citizens about their concerns.”
Moore declined to comment on what he would change about the Sheriff’s Office, saying he didn’t feel it was appropriate because he does not work there.
Moore is a self-proclaimed proponent of physical and mental wellbeing. He’s been running about 5 miles each day in a different neighborhood with a flag that reads “Moore 2022.”
Joel Senior
Senior is running for sheriff as a Republican and now works as a criminal investigator for the Wyoming Livestock Board, where he trains law enforcement officers to respond to agriculture and livestock-related issues and investigate violations.
Senior worked in the Laramie Police Department for 19 years prior to taking his post at the Livestock Board. During that time, he worked as a patrol officer, field training officer, school resource officer and detective.
His love for Albany County and his community relationship building experience is what inspired him to run for sheriff.
“My roots are in Albany County and I am looking forward to investing multiple terms as sheriff in order to make the Albany County Sheriff’s Office a well-trained, transparent and professional organization,” Senior said.
His primary goal is to increase professionality in the Sheriff’s Office and ensure the department is following the best practices of patrol and detention. If elected, he would start a strong recruiting and vetting process for new hires and provide ongoing training to all deputies. He also wants to encourage employees through a career track and compensation-based approach.
He also said he would review the procedures of the Albany County Detention Center to ensure the facility is operating above federal standards. He is exploring educational and spiritual programs for inmates and would work with community groups to decrease recidivism rates.
“With easy access to multiple social media platforms agencies no longer have an excuse for lack of transparency,” Senior said. “Information shared must be factual regardless of whether it shines a negative or positive light upon the agency or incident.”
Senior said he felt there is a lack of transparency in the Sheriff’s Office, which he would correct by holding monthly public debriefs on happenings within the department and allow the public to provide and document their feedback. | https://www.wyomingnews.com/laramieboomerang/news/primary-features-5-hopefuls-for-sheriff/article_eef105ff-7a18-5d41-9f0c-27885d2f3743.html | 2022-06-08T11:57:59Z | https://www.wyomingnews.com/laramieboomerang/news/primary-features-5-hopefuls-for-sheriff/article_eef105ff-7a18-5d41-9f0c-27885d2f3743.html | false | 2 |

The 26-year-old impressed during a half-season loan with The Magpies last season as he made 16 appearances to help Eddie Howe’s side climb out of relegation danger and finish 11th in the Premier League table.
It was understood that Newcastle had an option to make the loan move permanent for £15million, minus any loan fee paid to Villa back in January.
Following the arrival of Dan Ashworth as the club’s sporting director this week, Newcastle are now pushing through with the deal which will see them pay around £12million to Aston Villa for Targett.
According to The Athletic, Targett is set to travel to Tyneside for a medical despite The Magpies registering an interest in Atletico Madrid left-back Renan Lodi.
A move for the defender was always going to be the most straightforward to complete for Newcastle this summer given that the framework for the deal was already in place and Villa were willing sellers.
Even if you include the loan fee, £15million represents shrewd business for a Premier League proven player who still has his best years ahead of him.
And when discussing his future at Newcastle previously, Targett said: “We’ll see [if I’ll stay], it’s up to the club, the owners have got so much money and I'm sure they could go get anyone they want.
“But it's a very exciting project here and if I'm here next season then brilliant but if I'm not then I'll be looking from afar and hoping the club does well.” | https://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/newcastle-united-close-in-on-first-summer-signing-with-medical-expected-3724018 | 2022-06-08T12:03:42Z | https://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/newcastle-united-close-in-on-first-summer-signing-with-medical-expected-3724018 | false | 2 |

- More than 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers taken prisoner after the siege of Mariupol have been transferred to Russia, a Russian state-news agency reported Wednesday.
- Fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces persisted in the eastern Ukrainian city of Severodonetsk, and the U.K.’s defense ministry said it was unlikely either side had gained significant ground.
- Russian and Turkish officials held talks Wednesday over creating a sea lane to export grain from Ukraine that didn’t yield a significant breakthrough; Ukraine hadn’t agreed to a potential deal.
KYIV, Ukraine—Russia has transferred more than 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers taken prisoner in the southern port city of Mariupol to its territory, Russia’s state news agency TASS reported Wednesday, giving Moscow a powerful bargaining chip as its military campaign makes slow progress in eastern Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this week that the Defense Ministry’s Intelligence Directorate had been tasked with negotiating the return of more than 2,500 Ukrainian soldiers taken captive by Russia after laying down their arms in Mariupol last month.

Our attention has been drawn to a Social Media post made by Hon. Ginger Onwusibe, the Member representing Isiala Ngwa North State Constituency regarding a case of academic misconduct involving him and the Abia State University, and particularly, his constant reference in the said post to the Governor of Abia State and the rather unfortunate attempts to link the Governor to his problems in the University.
Ordinarily, the Office of the Governor of Abia State should not get involved in the relationship between a university and its student but this reaction has become necessary as a result of the tendency of the post under reference to send wrong signals and deceive gullible members of the public.
The Governor of Abia State, by Law, is the Visitor to the Abia State University. By this special designation, the Governor is not involved in the day to day running of the University and he does not, most certainly, give any directives to the University management on how to manage her relationships with her students.
It is therefore disingenuous and outright mischievous for Hon. Onwusibe to drag the name of the Governor into what is clearly a case where the University exercised her rights to discipline her student, simply because it is convenient for him to do so.
The height of it was his claim that the Vice Chancellor of the University informed him that the Governor has instructed him to withdraw the First and Masters Degrees awarded previously to Hon. Onwusibe.
Such claim is rather ridiculous, desperate, mischievous, misleading and a clear display of a surprising lack of understanding of the workings of a University system. Beyond the above, the claim amounts to actionable injurious falsehood with multi-faceted civil and criminal dimensions.
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu came into the business of governance from the University system where he was a Senior Member of the University Community, and as such, has a perfect understanding of how the system operates. He appreciates the sanctity of the process through which universities award their degrees and it is therefore preposterous for anyone to make the wild claim that the Governor would order the Vice Chancellor to withdraw the certificate awarded to a graduate of the University.
As a University Lecturer of many years, a former Head of Department and a statutory Member of the Senate of a University, Governor Ikpeazu detests academic fraud and is firmly of the view that any student indicted for academic fraud should face the consequences of his action. Such student must however be afforded the opportunity of fair hearing. If the student isn’t satisfied with the outcome of the process, he has options available to him.
To be clear, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has no hand whatsoever in whatever travails Hon Ginger Onwusibe is facing in the University.
By his own admission, Hon. Onwusibe appeared before the University Examinations Malpractice Panel and responded to the allegations made against him. If he is not satisfied with the procedure or outcome of the Panel, he should seek professional advice on how next to proceed, instead of recklessly dragging the name and office of the Governor of Abia State into the internal affairs of a University.
The Governor is of the view that people should be sincere enough to pursue degrees and diplomas that they have the capacity and time for and therefore advises Hon. Onwusibe to look elsewhere for the source of his problems.
It has sadly become a favorite past time for several people to abuse and link their self inflicted misfortunes to Governor Okezie Ikpeazu in a bid to seek cheap public relevance. Like similar attempts in the past, this one is dead on arrival.
Let it however be made clear that the habit of treating with disrespect, the person and office of the Governor of Abia State has reached intolerable dimensions. This habit must be brought to an immediate stop.
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu wishes to make it abundantly clear to Hon. Ginger Onwusibe and others whose favorite past time is to mindlessly abuse the person and office of the Governor of Abia State that his peaceful and friendly dispositions should not be misconstrued for weakness.
Onyebuchi Ememanka, lawyer and current Chief Press Secretary, to the Governor of Abia State, writes from Aba, Abia State.

LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson may have survived a no-confidence vote, but his grip on power is far from secure.
Many compare his position to that of his predecessor Theresa May, who won a similar vote by a larger margin than Johnson but was nonetheless ousted six months later.
“The history for prime ministers who survive confidence votes isn’t that great,” said Tim Bale, professor of politics at Queen Mary University of London.
A look at how previous Conservative prime ministers fared after leadership challenges against them:
___
MARGARET THATCHER
Thatcher survived a first leadership challenge in 1989, but a second one the next year spelled her downfall.
In 1989, a little-known lawmaker, Anthony Meyer, launched a challenge against Thatcher, who had been reelected as party leader unopposed every year since 1974. Thatcher won comfortably by 314 votes to 33 but, counting deliberately spoiled ballot papers, about 60 had failed to endorse her — an early indication that her position was shaky.
The next year, former defense secretary Michael Heseltine mounted his own bid to wrest leadership from Thatcher amid serious divisions within the Conservatives.
Thatcher won 204 votes to Heseltine’s 152 in the first round of the leadership election, but the margin wasn’t enough to defeat him outright, forcing a second round.
The “Iron Lady” resigned two days later, and Conservative lawmakers subsequently elected John Major as her successor in a second ballot.
___
JOHN MAJOR
Major took over as Thatcher’s handpicked successor in December 1990.
In June 1995, Major resigned as party leader to force a leadership contest against himself, challenging his party to “put up or shut up” in a bid to quell a persistent group of critics within the Conservative ranks opposed to Britain’s closer integration with the EU.
Major secured a majority of votes in a Conservative leadership contest against rival John Redwood, but a third of the party either voted against him, spoiled their ballot papers or abstained.
Major clung onto power for almost two more years, until the Conservatives lost the 1997 general election in a landslide victory for Labour’s Tony Blair.
___
THERESA MAY
May, who became Britain’s second female prime minister in July 2016, faced severe pressure throughout her tenure over her repeated but ultimately unsuccessful attempts to take Britain out of the European Union.
In December 2018, 48 Conservative lawmakers furious with her Brexit policy triggered a no-confidence vote in her. She won by 200 votes to 117, but the results meant she lost the support of one-third of her lawmakers.
Opposition continued to buffet her leadership and May fought in vain to get lawmakers’ backing to implement the Brexit deal she struck with the EU. Parliament rejected her plan three times, and even previously loyal members of her Cabinet openly criticized her bill.
May was forced to step down in May 2019, saying “it will always remain a matter of deep regret for me” to fail to deliver Brexit.
Bale, the politics professor, believes Johnson is different from Thatcher and May and will not resign voluntarily.
“Many of Boris Johnson’s opponents would say that the only interest he has at heart is his own continuation in the job. So he really will have to be kicked out of Downing Street” by lawmakers, Bale said. | https://www.wcia.com/news/international/past-uk-conservative-leaders-who-faced-leadership-challenges/ | 2022-06-08T12:10:32Z | https://www.wcia.com/news/international/past-uk-conservative-leaders-who-faced-leadership-challenges/ | false | 44 |
NCAA baseball: Michigan downs Oregon, 8-6
Matt Frey hit a two-run homer in the top of the eighth inning, breaking a tie, as Michigan beat Oregon 8-6 Friday in NCAA regional baseball play at Louisville, Kentucky.
Brennan Milone hit a solo homer and had three hits, two RBIs and a run scored for Oregon (35-24).
The Wolverines moved to 33-26.
Jimmy Obertop had two, two-run homers for Michigan.
The Ducks play Southeast Missouri State in regional play at 9 a.m. Saturday.
Said UO coach Mark Wasikowski:
"We're disappointed to lose ballgame tonight. You know Coach Erik Bakich's team plays very, very well. We just we kept fighting back and we just didn't have enough to overcome the deficit."
How do they reset to play Saturday?
The coach said:
"Well, I mean, it's not a lot of room to sit back and turn into a psychiatrist or whatever. The bottom line is you're in a must-win game tomorrow and you need to get a good pitching performance. We need guys that aren't ready to take the uniforms off tomorrow, you know, and that's really what it comes down to and it's no more complicated than that. I don't think there needs to be a big pep talk or anything like that." | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2626159773927/ncaa-baseball-michigan-downs-oregon-8-6 | 2022-06-08T12:13:06Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2626159773927/ncaa-baseball-michigan-downs-oregon-8-6 | false | 1 |

€10 mil. to help businesses fight drug trafficking; "Peanuts", says Aboutaleb
The Cabinet is dedicating 10 million euros per year to help businesses fight undermining crime, Minister Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius of Justice and Security said. Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb of Rotterdam, who deals with large-scale drug trafficking through his city’s port, called the investment far from enough. “Peanuts,” he said to NOS.
The extra money will go to the ten regional Platforms for Safe Entrepreneurship in the Netherlands. The police, Public Prosecution Service (OM), sector organizations, and companies work together in these platforms to fight organized criminals trying to find their way into the upper world. This involves things like criminals looking for farm barns for drug labs or bribing dock workers to let drugs through. Yeşilgöz-Zegerius wants to make entrepreneurs more aware of and resilient against undermining crime.
Rotterdam mayor Aboutaleb thinks it is good that the Cabinet is paying more attention to undermining crime, but the promised 10 million euros per year is far from enough. “In Colombia alone, there are 215 billion euros in the mess. Then 10 million is a fantastically beautiful gesture, but it is not more than a gesture,” he said to NOS.
Unorthodox measures are needed to fight undermining crime, Aboutaleb said. For example, he wants every container of tropical fruit entering the Port of Rotterdam to be checked for hidden drugs instead of random checks. “If we don’t, we have to accept that the cocaine will continue to flow over our feet for years to come.”
Minister Yeşilgöz-Zegerius still thinks that the 10 million euros per year investment will help. “We will never match money with what the criminals have. Never before has so much money been spent on combating. But it remains a fraction of what the criminals earn. So we have to be smart with our money,” she said to the broadcaster. | https://nltimes.nl/2022/06/08/eu10-mil-help-businesses-fight-drug-trafficking-peanuts-says-aboutaleb | 2022-06-08T12:18:20Z | https://nltimes.nl/2022/06/08/eu10-mil-help-businesses-fight-drug-trafficking-peanuts-says-aboutaleb | false | 1 |
SWEENY — Dylan White made some big plays on the football field to get noticed during his three years on the Sweeny Bulldog varsity.
The senior standout landed on the all-District 12-4A D-II first team as a wide receiver, and now will play his favorite sport at the next level.
“It feels real good. It’s always been my dream to go somewhere and make a name for myself,” White said.
That somewhere will be Blinn Junior College in Brenham.
“It was a hard decision because there was a school in Iowa that really wanted me, but I just decided that it was just too far for me,” White said. “I really just wanted to stay close, but also because of the connections that I could make as well to continue on after Blinn.”
His video attracted the Buccaneer coaching staff.
“They were happy to have me there and right away they said that I was a playmaker,” White said. “They also mentioned that I would be someone that I could be good for them.”
In his final season with the Bulldogs, White finished with 42 catches for 637 yards and four touchdowns. He averaged 70.8 yards a game in the nine games he played. White averaged 15.2 yards per catch with his longest going for 58 yards.
“I am someone who can see the game well and understand just as well because I’ve been watching and playing it for quite some time,” he said. “Another thing that I do is pick up things quickly.”
Other programs inquiring about his services were Mount Union Community School in Iowa and Northern American University in Houston.
The Buccaneers were 5-5 overall in 2021, including 3-4 in the Region XIV Conference, finishing tied for fourth place with three other teams.
Just a couple of months away from reporting to his new team, White is staying busy working to improve.
“Every time that I was on the field I made sure to run my routes hard and just trying to do the best I could to help my team,” White said. “But I have teamed up with MJ White and Javorskie Lane and they are helping me to just get better on the football field. In working with MJ White, he is working with me on my backpedal and breaks. He wants me to stay low when I am doing those drills. There is still a lot to learn and I am just there soaking it up.”
White wants to be one of the hardest-working players at Blinn Junior College, he said.
“All I want to do is just go there and work, and since they don’t know much about me, I need to stand out in some ways,” he said.
White remembers his sophomore season on varsity.
“During those days, I was playing with Trey Fields and Justice Clemons and the way they played I just tried to follow there lead,” White said. “Since they were seniors, I just tried to pick up on the things that they worked on, but I knew that I had to be patient.” | https://thefacts.com/wbweekly/article_24d713b9-83ee-5686-bdb0-6aa2472739b9.html | 2022-06-08T12:18:58Z | https://thefacts.com/wbweekly/article_24d713b9-83ee-5686-bdb0-6aa2472739b9.html | false | 2 |

A leading paving and walling manufacturer based in County Derry has been shortlisted in two categories at the Ground Engineering Awards 2022.
The Ground Engineering Awards seek to recognise the geotechnical industry leaders throughout the UK.
Tobermore has been shortlisted in two categories including ‘Specialist Geotechnical Supplier of the Year’ and ‘UK Project with a Geotechnical Value of up to £500k’.
Tobermore has been recognised as a Specialist Geotechnical Supplier for their innovative Secura Segmental Retaining Wall system.
As a finalist, the paving and walling manufacturer has been acknowledged as continually delivering innovation, quality and value, while growing revenue, profits and staff numbers.
Tobermore pride themselves on a collaborative approach to efficient delivery. Through close relationships with the client and supply chain, Tobermore can provide a superior service than what would be expected from a retaining wall block manufacturer and supplier.
Latches Close is an area of social housing built circa 2010 which has been selected as a finalist for UK Project with a Geotechnical Value of up to £500k.
To the rear of the houses there was a 200-year-old masonry retaining wall. The brick wall was built directly on top of soil with no concrete footing.
Due to this, over time the wall became unstable and dangerous. Tobermore’s Secura Grand Retaining Wall was used to strengthen and stabilise the wall.
The judges recognised Latches Close as the project stood out in terms of innovation, quality, sustainability, health, safety and value engineering.
David Henderson, Managing Director and owner of Tobermore, commented:“I am delighted that Tobermore has been shortlisted for two categories at the Ground Engineering Awards.
“While we are widely recognised for our paving products, I believe we are only scratching the surface of our retaining wall potential.”
“I am incredibly proud that Secura Grand is being recognised on a national stage. Aside from being an aesthetically pleasing solution, it also presents fantastic cost savings to contractors and groundworkers throughout the UK and Ireland.
“We look forward to the gala evening later this year and wish all the finalists the best of luck.”
The Ground Engineering Awards ceremony will take place on Tuesday 6 September at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel, London.

With protests planned for Saturday after the mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Buffalo, New York, gun control advocates hope to intensify pressure on Congress to pass laws and additional funding for research to help curb the growing violence.
And they say they’re prepared to use philanthropic money and their own fundraising to support their advocacy until public attention forces meaningful changes.
Noah Lumbantobing, a spokesman for March for Our Lives, says he’s seen the strategy succeed before.
After the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, in 2018, that killed 17, students formed the anti-gun violence group and led mass protests across the country. In response, former President Donald Trump’s administration banned bump stocks, which was the accessory a shooter used to kill scores at a country music festival in Las Vegas the previous year.
“Trump is not our friend — we know that,” Lumbantobing said, speaking through the din of protests outside the National Rifle Association convention in Houston last month. “He’s not our political ally, but the temperature in the country got so high he couldn’t ignore us.”
This time, March for Our Lives and other gun control groups plan to mobilize supporters to push Congress to require universal background checks, pass red flag laws allowing guns to be confiscated in certain cases and raise the age limit to buy certain guns.
All that said, they recognize that political leaders have not delivered meaningful action on gun control in America.
“If it wasn’t for the movement, I would not have any faith in politicians,” Lumbantobing, 26, who is based in New York, told The Associated Press. “But given that the movement is so strong and it’s so clear that it is so strong, I think something will happen.”
In a speech last week, President Joe Biden proposed numerous reforms, including restoring a ban on the sale of assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines, as well as implementing background checks and red flag laws. At the same time, he made clear he recognizes that Republican opposition makes it unlikely that most of those changes will become law.
“I know how hard it is,” he said. “But I’ll never give up. And if Congress fails, I believe this time a majority of the American people won’t give up either.”
Surveys show that the Republican resistance to gun control doesn’t reflect the views of a majority of Americans. Most U.S. adults think mass shootings would occur less often if guns were harder to get and believe that schools and other public places have become less safe than they were two decades ago, polling finds.
Nonprofits, community groups and advocacy organizations say they have gained insight into why gun violence occurs and how to reduce it, including interventions that don’t require legislation.
Increasing funding for research, investing in frontline organizations working to prevent gun violence, donating to advocacy groups and taking part in mass movements, advocates say, can help reduce shooting deaths and injuries.
Though gun violence is among the leading causes of death in the U.S., Congress has allocated little funding over the years to study it. Research about gun violence was effectively halted in 1996 by an amendment to a federal spending bill. That suspension was reversed in 2018 after the Parkland shooting. Congress allocated $25 million to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institutes of Health to fund gun violence research.
That 20-year gap in federal funding means that gun violence has received less study than have other major deadly public health issues like car crashes, smoking or HIV, according to Andrew Morral, director of the National Collaborative on Gun Violence Research.
“We don’t have great data,” said Morral, a senior behavioral scientist at the RAND Corporation. “We don’t have a big cadre of researchers working on this.”
Last year, Arnold Ventures and The Joyce Foundation commissioned an analysis to find out how much it would cost the government to fund research and collect data about gun violence. Their conclusion: $600 million over five years.
“We’re not talking about $10, and we’re not talking about $25 billion; this is a solvable issue,” said Asheley Van Ness, a director at Arnold Ventures who oversees gun violence research. Other donors besides the federal government could help contribute.
“Philanthropy plays a unique role in American public policy as catalysts for change, often laying a path forward that government can follow,” Van Ness said.
Responding to a jump in gun homicides in 2020, the Biden administration allowed municipalities to direct funds from the American Rescue Plan last June toward gun violence reduction strategies, including community violence intervention programs.
The administration also partnered with about a dozen foundations to build the capacity of community violence intervention programs in 15 cities, including Los Angeles, Washington and St. Louis. The Health Alliance for Violence Intervention, which supports shooting victims while they’re recovering and encourages them and their relatives not to retaliate, is providing training and technical help to the initiative.
Jason Corburn, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, has done evaluations for a violence interruption organization, Advance Peace, which started in Richmond, California, and now works in multiple cities across the country.
Advance Peace’s programs rely on mentors who are knowledgeable about their communities and often have been involved in and imprisoned for gun crimes. Their personal histories give them credibility with the people most likely to be involved in gun violence. But it also means that local governments can be reluctant to fund their employment.
“That’s where I think philanthropy can step in and provide that kind of support,” Corburn said.
A decade ago, the Joyce Foundation launched a funding collaborative, the Fund for a Safer Future, which pools resources for reducing gun violence. Scott Moyer, president of the Jacob & Valeria Langeloth Foundation and member of the fund’s executive committee, says it allows foundations or large donors who are interested but don’t have close connections or a deep understanding of gun violence to make an impact.
The fund also donates to organizations that help defend gun regulations and that advocate for policies — something Moyer said is permissible despite restrictions that bar nonprofits from participating in political lobbying.
The fund also allows donors who wish to be anonymous the chance to participate. Still, he suggested, it’s better to speak out against gun violence and visibly support funding solutions.
“Some people see that gun violence issues are too political,” Moyer said. “And I would push back on that and just say, ‘People are dying.’”

New Industrial Gas Complex will be Air Products' Second Build, Own and Operate Onsite Facility in India
LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. and PUNE, India and BARAUNI, India, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Products (NYSE: APD), a world leader in industrial gases and large-scale project development, execution and operation, today announced the signing of a long-term supply agreement with Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), India's flagship national oil company.

In-depth customer journey analytics enables businesses to visualize insights and action empathy for improved experience orchestration, resulting in greater customer loyalty
SAN FRANCISCO, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at Xperience '22, Genesys®, a leader in cloud customer experience orchestration, announced innovation that makes it possible for businesses to operationalize empathy for stronger relationships with their customers. The company is expanding its existing orchestration capabilities with deeper customer journey analytics that enable businesses to become people-centric on a scale unrivaled. Now with Genesys, businesses can evolve from seeing single interactions to visualizing end-to-end customer journeys across multiple channels in real time for dynamic total experience awareness and control.
Consumers want their interactions with brands to be easy and on their terms. But most customer journeys are designed around business processes, not people. Limited data, organizational silos and analytics that deliver weeks-old insights have led brands to become passive participants in the experiences they deliver. They've been along for the ride but have no real view or capability to make them better, leaving their customers feeling unseen and wanting more.
Now available to businesses using the Genesys Cloud CX™ and Genesys Multicloud CX™ platforms, the Pointillist® Contact Center Optimization solution gives the industry a new way to measure, monitor and improve people's journeys across the lifecycle. Through the solution, Genesys is amplifying the insights available to businesses by helping them unlock data from any source so they can better visualize journeys and measure the impact of customer behavior on their outcomes. Leveraging additional context about each customer's current intent and prior experiences, service teams can better understand people's goals and quickly spot and remove roadblocks getting in the way of great experiences within — and beyond — the contact center.
Total Experience Awareness and Control to Drive Customer Loyalty
With the solution, Genesys is giving businesses more visibility into customer behaviors driving operational KPIs for digital and voice channels. This enables companies to increase customer satisfaction while improving business metrics like first contact rate, self-service rate and cost to serve.
For example, a large broadcast and cable television company observed a lower Net Promoter Score and higher call-in rates for customers who suspended their mobile service through the website. A deeper analysis using the solution revealed that customers could suspend — but not resume — mobile services using the website, resulting in higher call volumes. The company improved its self-service functionality to provide a more complete digital experience. The journey analysis projected 10,000 customers per month could restart their service effortlessly via the website without calling in for assistance, which would increase NPS for these customers by 7 points — and save more than $1 million annually.
Powered by artificial intelligence, the solution helps businesses rapidly identify meaningful changes in any customer journey by exposing anomalies, period-over-period changes and trend deviations as they happen. When unusual operational patterns are detected, businesses are automatically notified so they can intervene with a more prescriptive and scalable solution before the problem becomes worse, resulting in higher customer satisfaction and better contact center performance.
This solution was made possible by the company's acquisition of Pointillist last year, which enabled the expansion of its journey management capabilities to help businesses accelerate their delivery of advanced experience orchestration and extend its leadership in the Experience as a Service SM market.
Commenting on the news from Genesys:
- "We're in an experience economy, and companies that fail to deliver great customer experiences will be left behind. Today's leaders are under increasing pressure to create intuitive experiences, developing the journey around individual customers' needs in a real-time environment," said Jim Tincher, Founder, CEO and Journey Mapper-In-Chief of Heart of the Customer. "With its new solution, Genesys is empowering employees with real-time insights to better engage, prioritize and understand people as they shop, buy and need care — enabling businesses to drive better outcomes and create happier, engaged customers."
- "Businesses today are competing on the value they provide customers and the ability to help them achieve their goals," said Olivier Jouve, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Genesys Cloud CX. "By extending our orchestration capability with deeper customer journey analytics, we're making it easier to uncover and employ insights so companies can break down every barrier standing between people and great experiences."
To learn more about experience orchestration capabilities from Genesys, attend Xperience 2022, a live online event held this week from June 8–9. For a deep dive about today's announcement, don't miss this session "Optimize Customer Experience and Contact Center Performance with Customer Journey Measurement," held on day one at 6:45–7:15 AM ET; 2:45–3:15 PM ET; and on-demand following the event.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A new cohort of cadets have begun training to become troopers with the Kentucky State Police.
The 65 cadets reported Sunday to Frankfort where they will go through 24 weeks of intense training that includes classroom and field study in subjects such as law, use of force, weapons training, first aid, criminal investigation and computer literacy, Kentucky State Police said in a statement.
The training will focus on public safety through service, integrity and professionalism, state police Commissioner Phillip Burnett Jr. said.
Justice and Public Safety Secretary Kerry Harvey said the intensity and scope of the training ”ensures our troopers are prepared for any situation that could arise.” | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/65-new-cadets-begin-training-for-Kentucky-State-17226968.php | 2022-06-08T12:28:57Z | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/65-new-cadets-begin-training-for-Kentucky-State-17226968.php | true | null |
It's common knowledge that getting around the capital via the London Underground is the most iconic way to travel. Travelling by Tube is often hailed as the most convenient and speedy way to get from A to B, and most Londoners have a very specific idea about their most and least favourite Underground lines.
Luckily for transport lovers, Transport for London (TfL) has released a new and improved walking Tube map, showing customers how long it takes to get from one station to the next by foot. Along with the map, TfL said: "Walking can be a quick and easy way to get around, particularly when travelling during the busiest times, which are 5:45am-8:15am and 4pm-5:30pm, Monday to Friday. This map shows how much time it takes to walk between stations on the same line."
READ MORE: The 17 unwritten rules of travelling on the London Underground
Perhaps unsurprisingly, a number of stations within Zone 1 of the map are less than a 10 minute walk away from each other, meaning a short stroll could save you precious minutes and spare you a trip on a smelly packed Tube carriage. Of course, some stops further away from the centre of London are more spread out.
For example, the brisk one-stop journey from Highbury & Islington and King's Cross on the Overground would take 35 minutes to walk. A walk from Surrey Quays to Queens Road Peckham would also set you back 38 minutes, though it is only one stop on the Overground.

NEW YORK (AP) — Major U.S. markets slipped before the opening bell Wednesday as broad concerns about interest rates, inflation and the war in Ukraine continue to weigh on investors.
Futures for the Dow Jones industrials ticked down 0.4% and gave up 0.3% on the S&P 500. Most Asian markets finished in positive territory, mimicking U.S. gains Tuesday, while shares in Europe were in decline at midday.
“Equities are drifting lower as the broader narrative remains unchanged, with peak inflation optimism meeting increasingly hawkish pivots from central banks,” Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary.
Britain’s FTSE 100 and Germany's DAX both slipped 0.6%, while the CAC 40 in Paris shed 0.7%.
U.S. stocks gained for the second straight day Tuesday, even as the World Bank sharply cut its forecast for economic growth this year, highlighting Russia’s war against Ukraine and the possibility of food shortages and the potential return of “stagflation,” a toxic mix of high inflation and sluggish growth unseen for more than four decades.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, testifying before the the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday, said she expects inflation to remain elevated and bringing that down is a top priority.
More data on recent price swings arrives Friday when the U.S. reports its consumer price index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices.
The economy’s fragility has been atop Wall Street’s mind this year amid worries about interest-rate hikes coming from the Federal Reserve. The central bank is moving aggressively to stamp out the worst inflation in decades, but it risks choking off the economy if it moves too far or too quickly.
The Fed is widely expected to raise its key short-term interest rate by half a percentage point at its meeting next week. That would be the second straight increase of double the usual amount, and investors expect a third in July.
Treasury yields have largely climbed through this year with expectations for a more aggressive Fed. They moderated a bit on Tuesday, though.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury held just above 3% at 3.01% early Wednesday. The two-year yield, which more closely tracks expectations for Fed action, inched up to 2.75% from 2.73%.
The next big update on inflation arrives Friday, when the U.S. government releases its latest reading on the consumer price index.
In Asian trading, Hong Kong shares surged 2.2% to 22,014.59 on heavy buying of shares in Chinese technology companies after Beijing approved a new batch of video games. That was seen as a sign the business outlook for tech companies is improving after a prolonged regulatory crackdown.
Tokyo's Nikkei 225 gained 1% to 28,234.29 after Japan reported its economy contracted at a lower pace than earlier reported in the January-March quarter, shrinking 0.5% instead of 1%. The latest data showed consumer spending was not as weak as earlier thought.
In India, the Sensex lost 0.4% to 54,905.16 after the Reserve Bank of India raised its key interest rate by 0.5 basis points to 4.9%.
The Kospi in South Korea was little changed at 2,626.15. In Sydney, the S&P/ASX 200 advanced 0.4% to 7,121.10. The Shanghai Composite index reversed early losses, gaining 0.7% to 3,263.79.
In other trading, benchmark U.S. crude oil added $1.12 to $120.53 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, the standard for international trading, picked up $1.04 to $121.61 per barrel.
The U.S. dollar traded at 134.03 Japanese yen, up from 132.61 yen. The euro ticked up to $1.0736 from $1.0705.

Princess Diana's brother Earl Charles Spencer has shared a photo of the Falconry at Althorp, and shared the history of the building
Charles Spencer often shares photos from his family home, Althorp, on social media, and his latest has revealed a previously unseen area of the 550-acre estate.
GALLERY: Princess Diana's regal upbringing at Althorp
The 58-year-old, who grew up at Althorp alongside his late sister Princess Diana, shared a photo of the falconry building located in the grounds of the estate on Wednesday morning, and revealed the fascinating story behind the building with his followers.
WATCH: Charles Spencer reveals magnificent garden at Althorp
"The Falconry was built for one week’s entertainment, in 1613. Guests watched falconry displays from its many windows - which were then unglazed. Amazing that it’s still such a presence in the park at @althorphouse more than four centuries on," Earl Spencer captioned a photo of the building shrouded in mist across the park.
The snap met a positive response from Charles' followers, including one who commented: "Amazing indeed! Beautiful building." Others agreed: "Beautiful."

The Spencer family's ancestral home in Northamptonshire boasts 90 rooms and expansive parkland, and was where Princess Diana grew up with her three siblings, prior to her 1981 marriage to Prince Charles.
Charles Spencer showcased the falconry at Althorp
Charles inherited Althorp following the death of his father in March 1992, at which point he also succeeded as 9th Earl Spencer.
He now resides there with his third wife, Karen Gordon. The couple were married in June 2011 and together share daughter Lady Charlotte Diana, nine.
Earl Spencer grew up at Althorp with Princess Diana
The Earl enjoys sharing photos and details of the estate's rich family history with his followers, and in April he even shared a private glimpse inside the family tomb, where a stone figure with its hands together in prayer gesture was lying in rest.

Vince Russo had nothing but absolute praise for MJF and the latter's dedication to the wrestling business.
Friedman has had issues with AEW since he missed a Fan Fest meet-and-greet before Double or Nothing. The Long-Islander eventually showed up at the pay-per-view but was defeated by Wardlow and immediately left the arena afterward.
A few days later, on Dynamite in Los Angeles, The Salt of the Earth showed up to seemingly address his loss. However, he went on a tirade toward fans, and the company's president, Tony Khan. He even called him a "mark" and dared him to fire him.
During the latest episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing with Russo, Vince lauded the 26-year-old's professionalism towards his character in AEW. The former WWE writer also noted that the latter has an intelligent understanding of the business.
"If you knew anything about MJF the person and if you knew anything about Tony Khan, the first thing you would notice is they were both acting and doing things totally out of character. They were doing things.... MJF has proven one thing bro, from day one, he has proven one thing, he is a professional."
He continued:
"He carries himself as a professional. He looks at the business like a business. This is a smart kid, it's all about the money, he's got his head on straight," Russo said. [From 3:02 - 3:34]
You can watch the latest episode here:
Vince Russo liked the composure of MJF, even outside the ring
Before the Fan Fest no-show, MJF has consistently appeared on meet-and-greets while still in character. Russo took note of this during the same episode and only commended the commitment of the former towards his character.
"This kid is just not gonna show up for a meet and greet, he's not going to do that. He's a pro, he's not gonna be playing on a slot machine while his name is up at a meet and greet. He's not going to do that. He has showed us for years that he acts as a professional." [From 3:37 - 3:56]
Judging by his assessment, Russo was not surprised by Maxwell Jacob Friedman's actions in committing to his work. Like the former, different wrestling personalities have commented on the matter, further adding to the buzz the latter has created recently.

1440 Foods is a newly formed company resulting from 4x4 Capital's acquisition of the sports and active nutrition division of The Bountiful Company.
CPG veteran Andrews will oversee the company's portfolio of health and wellness brands in one of the fastest-growing CPG sectors focused on healthier snacking.
NEW YORK, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 4x4 Capital, a New York-based investment platform focused on building value for companies in the consumer, services, and industrials sectors, has announced Azania Andrews as chief executive officer of 1440 Foods, a new company formed to manage and grow a winning portfolio of sports and active nutrition brands acquired by 4x4 Capital from The Bountiful Company. Andrews will work closely with 4x4 Capital's partners and a team of commercial leaders formerly of The Bountiful Company to increase market share and distribution in a high-potential, $16 billion category growing double-digits.
Andrews is an accomplished business, marketing, and digital leader with a successful track record of establishing and growing iconic brands. In her most recent role as Vice President, Consumer Connections at Anheuser Busch, Andrews oversaw paid media, sports and entertainment partnerships, and experiential marketing for the company's industry-leading portfolio of beverage brands. In her nine-year tenure at Anheuser-Busch, Andrews also led business and commercial strategy for Michelob ULTRA, transforming the beer into the fastest-growing brand in America by repositioning it to focus on active lifestyles and better-for-you choices.
"Azania's track record and reputation as a business and brand builder are unparalleled, and we are thrilled to have her at the helm of 1440 Foods. During our time working together at Anheuser-Busch, Azania successfully evolved Michelob ULTRA's positioning as a healthier beer for active consumers, transforming it into the fastest growing brand in America while the rest of the beer market remains in steady decline. We look forward to supporting her vision and strategic plan for growing 1440 Foods and our portfolio of strong brands," said Alex Medicis, Co-Founder of 4x4 Capital.
In her new role, effective immediately, Andrews will be tasked with building a New York City-based team and executing her strategy to evolve and grow 1440 Foods' portfolio of established, complementary health and wellness brands: Pure Protein® bars, powders, and shakes; Body Fortress® high efficacy protein powders; MET-Rx® high-performance meal replacements; and Balance®, a lifestyle brand focused on balanced nutrition. Pure Protein® is already the #2 ready-to-eat protein bar on the market, and MET-Rx® is the #1 meal replacement bar in the US, according to IRI data.
"I'm incredibly energized to join 1440 Foods as CEO and apply my global CPG experience and consumer insights to the high-potential functional food sector, " said Andrews. "We have before us a unique opportunity to drive differentiation and profitability in a category that is ripe for innovation and growth, and I'm more than up for the challenge. I look forward to building a diverse, talented team and elevating our portfolio of powerhouse brands focused on shaping the future of healthy snacking and fueling a more active world."

A North Carolina man was indicted after allegedly trafficking more than $40,000 worth of guns into Manhattan and selling them to an undercover officer with the New York Police Department, officials announced Tuesday.
"Tyreke Colon is charged with more than 40 criminal counts after selling firearms in bulk to an undercover detective on three separate occasions in Harlem," District Attorney Alvin Bragg said at a news conference Tuesday. "In total, Colon sold 36 guns worth over $40,000."
Bragg described Colon's gun trafficking as brazen, saying the 24-year-old was selling "bags full of guns and made the sales in broad daylight in the middle of bustling Manhattan."
CNN reached out to Mildred Morillo, an attorney representing Colon, for comment but did not hear back at the time of publication.
Colon was arrested in Manhattan on May 19, where he was "in possession of five semi-automatic pistols and an AR-15-style assault rifle with a high-capacity magazine as he got off a bus from North Carolina," according to a news release from the DA's office.
The alleged sales to the undercover officer took place several times between February and April 2022, officials said.
"The charges are the result of a proactive investigation which employed courageous undercovers including undercover gun buys, court-authorized wiretaps and other investigative techniques," Bragg announced.
Wiretaps and investigations revealed Colon came to Manhattan with the purpose of selling firearms in the city, and he allegedly recruited people to obtain gun permits to purchase the firearms he was trafficking into the city, the DA added.
"This case illustrates how the iron pipeline continues to pose a direct and immediate threat to the safety of all New Yorkers," Bragg said in the news release.
"While we are fortunate to have some of the toughest gun laws in the country, they are far too often undermined by the easy availability of guns in many other states," Bragg said.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Republicans picked a seasoned TV broadcaster to take on New Mexico’s incumbent Democratic governor, nominating former network meteorologist Mark Ronchetti on his pledges to rein in state spending, shore up policing and unleash already record-setting oil production.
Ronchetti won by a wide margin in a field of five candidates that included state Rep. Rebecca Dow, a prominent voice among Republicans in the Legislature.
The GOP nominee, a family man joined on the victory stage by his wife and school-aged daughters, pledged to back police officers by restoring immunity from prosecution and blasted Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham for a lengthy suspension of in-person teaching and student proficiency testing during the pandemic.
“Now our children are even further behind, and she has no plan to catch them up,” Ronchetti said. “Every at-risk child deserves to know that they have a chance with a great education.”
He added a jab at new social studies standards that increase instruction related to racial and social identity in a heavily Latino and Native American state.
“We’ll focus on teaching them reading, writing, history, science and math. One thing we won’t teach them is how to hate each other,” Ronchetti said.
New Mexico is home to 23 federally recognized Native American tribes and nations, while nearly half the population claims Hispanic ethnicity.
Separately, the Democratic nomination for attorney general went to Raúl Torrez, a second-term district attorney for Albuquerque and its outskirts.
He defeated State Auditor Brian Colón to vie in an open race against Republican attorney and U.S. Marine veteran Jeremy Michael Gay of Gallup.
New Mexico has alternated between Democratic and Republican governors since the early 1980s. An incumbent governor last lost reelection in 1994.
The November election for New Mexico governor will be a test of Democratic resolve in an oil-producing region with enduring currents of Catholicism and a strong culture of gun ownership.
The GOP in 2020 flipped a congressional district along the U.S. border with Mexico with the election of Republican U.S. Rep. Yvette Herrell, a firm defender of former President Donald Trump.
Ronchetti has pledged to deploy 150 state law enforcement personnel to the remote international border with Mexico to combat illegal migration and drug and human trafficking. The proposal echoes National Guard deployments by Republican governors in Arizona and Texas.
In a nod to his days as a TV personality, Ronchetti cracked some jokes on the victory stage. He ridiculed the governor for lavish public spending at the governor’s mansion on premium beef and liquor, contrasting that with his own offer of chips, salsa and a cash bar for supporters on election night.
Lujan Grisham spent much of Election Day surveying recent destruction from the largest wildfire in recorded New Mexico history. President Joe Biden is scheduled to discuss relief efforts during a planned visit Saturday to Santa Fe.
An incumbent governor hasn’t lost election since 1994. And Republicans have faltered in a string of statewide elections, ceding control of every statewide elected office to Democrats, including the five-seat state Supreme Court.
Since taking office in 2019, Lujan Grisham and the Democratic-led Legislature have enacted reforms to ensure access to abortion, expand government oversight of guns and expand police accountability by lifting immunity from prosecution for misconduct.
The incumbent governor has walked a fine line on the environment with climate change initiatives that rein in methane pollution from oilfield infrastructure, phase out coal-fired power plants and mandate new renewable energy investments without restricting oil production. New Mexico last year surpassed North Dakota in 2021 to become the nation’s No. 2 oil producer behind Texas.
Lujan Grisham has harnessed a surge in state government income to underwrite teacher raises, offer free college education to in-state students, expand preschool and bolster Medicaid coverage across a state with high rates of poverty.
In response to inflation, the state is sending out staggered payments of up to $1,500 per household between June and August.
New Mexico’s most recent Republican governor was Susana Martinez, an El Paso native with family ties in Mexico who served as a district attorney before winning an open race to succeed termed-out Gov. Bill Richardson.
First-term congresswomen were seeking reelection to New Mexico’s three congressional districts, without primary challengers.
In the 2nd District of southern New Mexico, Las Cruces City Councilor Gabe Vasquez won the Democratic nomination to challenge Herrell. He defeated rural physician Darshan Patel.
In the 1st District that includes most of Albuquerque and rural communities to the south, the GOP nomination to challenge Democratic U.S. Rep. Melanie Stansbury was won by former police Detective Michelle Garcia Holmes.
Holmes ran for the same congressional seat in 2020 and was defeated by Democrat Deb Haaland, now serving as U.S. Interior secretary.
In other statewide races, former Sandoval County Treasurer Laura Montoya won the Democratic nomination for state treasurer, defeating former Magistrate Judge and Treasury official Heather Benavidez. Montoya will compete against former Santa Fe County Commissioner Harry Montoya in an open race to replace termed out State Treasurer Tim Eichenberg.
The Democratic nomination for state auditor went to utilities regulator Joseph Maestas, an elected member of the Public Regulation Commission. He'll confront Libertarian write-in candidate Robert Vaillancourt in a general election without a Republican contender.
In state legislative races, state Rep. Roger Montoya of Velarde was ousted in the Democratic primary by Joseph Sanchez of Alcalde, who gave up the seat in 2020 to run unsuccessfully for Congress.

Charlie Blackmon has seen the Colorado Rockies experience a lot of tough moments against the San Francisco Giants over the past few seasons, so he was happy to take matters into his own hands on Tuesday.
The 35-year-old Blackmon was the hero with a go-ahead, three-run homer and will attempt to lead the Rockies to another win over the host Giants on Wednesday night in the middle contest of a three-game series.
The left-handed-hitting Blackmon came off the bench in the sixth inning to hit a pinch-hit blast into McCovey Cove off Giants southpaw Jose Alvarez to pave the way for a 5-3 win.
The victory was Colorado’s second straight against the Giants after losing the previous 12 meetings, including the first five of this season.
Furthermore, it marked just the sixth time the Rockies defeated San Francisco in 26 matchups since the start of the 2021 season.
The homer was the 200th of Blackmon’s career. He is the seventh player in franchise history to reach the milestone.
“It was just really cool to come up in that spot,” Blackmon said in a postgame television interview. “Pinch hit off the bench, kind of cold with the lefty, tight game. It was a really cool memorable spot to do it.”
Blackmon wasn’t the only Colorado standout. Connor Joe led off the game with a homer while reaching base three times on two hits and a walk. Joe has reached safely in his past 33 games, the second-longest streak in the majors.
His streak is the longest by a Colorado player since DJ LeMahieu reached in 38 straight games in 2016.
The victory also snapped a four-game slide and was just the eighth in the past 28 games for the Rockies.
San Francisco has lost 11 of its past 18 games and could play without three-time All-Star shortstop Brandon Crawford on Wednesday.
Crawford departed in the bottom of the fifth inning on Tuesday with right quadriceps tightness. Giants manager Gabe Kapler said afterward that Crawford’s availability will be determined Wednesday.
Crawford said he also is dealing with a sinus infection. He said he felt discomfort in the quad while running to first base when he grounded out in the first inning.
“It wasn’t getting any better as the game went on,” Crawford told reporters. “I mentioned it to the trainers, and we collectively decided to get me out of there.”
San Francisco left-hander Alex Wood (3-5, 4.66 ERA) will oppose Rockies right-hander Antonio Senzatela (2-3, 5.40) for the third time this season.
The 31-year-old Wood beat the Rockies on May 10 when he allowed one unearned run and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings in San Francisco. He started against Colorado six days later in Denver and received a no-decision while allowing three runs and six hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Wood has since dropped three straight starts, allowing 10 runs in 14 innings for a 6.43 ERA during the stretch. He gave up two runs and four hits over 5 1/3 innings in a road loss to the Miami Marlins last Thursday.
Wood is 7-3 with a 5.36 ERA in 21 appearances (18 starts) vs. the Rockies. Blackmon is 14-for-33 with eight RBIs against him.
The struggling Senzatela has allowed 61 hits in just 35 innings.
The 27-year-old sustained a lower back strain in his May 16 start against San Francisco and exited after two scoreless innings. Six days earlier, he was roughed up for five runs and seven hits in 3 2/3 innings by the Giants in defeat.
He returned from his back injury on June 1 and gave up six runs and 13 hits in 5 1/3 innings while losing to the Miami Marlins.
Senzatela is 5-2 with a 4.61 ERA in 12 career appearances (10 starts) against the Giants. He has consistently handled Crawford (3-for-22).

Which KitchenAid cooktop is best?
When space concerns mean that a full-size range isn’t an option, many chefs turn to a cooktop. These function exactly like a range but don’t have the oven to install. This frees up valuable space under the counters.
KitchenAid’s Four-Burner 30-Inch Gas Downdraft Cooktop is sleek, compact and powerful — perfect for skilled home cooks who want a versatile, stylish appliance.
What to know before you buy a KitchenAid cooktop
Electric vs. gas vs. induction
If you’ve decided to install a wall oven and go for a KitchenAid cooktop, the first consideration is whether you want an electric, gas or induction cooktop.
- Gas: KitchenAid has distinct style options for gas cooktops. They have cast iron grates over a smooth glass surface. Some cooks find the smooth surface easier to clean, while others prefer a more traditional appliance. Gas cooktops can be some of the most expensive.
- Electric: This is not the electric you remember. KitchenAid electric cooktops cover the coils in a glass surface. No more digging out from underneath the burner for cleaning. These tend to be more affordable for cooks who want to upgrade on a budget.
- Induction: Induction burners use heated magnets under a glass surface. These are energy efficient and safe, but they can be hard to find. KitchenAid has many sizes to choose from, but finding them in stock can be difficult. Certain types of cookware will also not work on induction burners.
It’s also possible to install a KitchenAid cooktop over and under-counter oven. This gives you the freedom to mix-and-match appliances, choosing the one that works best for you.
Size
KitchenAid cooktops are available in 15, 30 or 36 inches, but commercial-grade versions are available in 48 inches, too. The size you select depends on your available counter space as well as the amount of cooking you intend to do. Larger cooktops have more burners with different power levels and features so you can create more in the kitchen at once.
Power
Power on cooktops is measured in watts for electric and induction burners and British Thermal Units (BTUs) for gas. Some KitchenAid electric and induction cooktops also have additional power in extra coils underneath the larger burners.
You’ll need a good mix of both to perform everything from searing at high heat to simmering or finishing delicate sauces.
What to look for in a quality KitchenAid cooktop
Downdraft
Downdraft KitchenAid cooktops do not require a stove hood. This means you can install them on a kitchen island or away from the wall to suit your kitchen layout.
Continuous burners
For all cooktops, a continuous burner means no lifting heavy pots to move from one side of the stove to the other. This reduces the possibility of spills or accidents as you cook.
Griddle included
For grilled sandwiches and pancake breakfasts, an included griddle is a lifesaver in the KitchenAid gas cooktops. Simply remove one section of the cast-iron grates and insert the griddle as needed.
Conversion to liquid petroleum
KitchenAid offers gas cooktops that can be converted to run on liquid petroleum (LP) for flexibility in your power source. Instead of plumbing directly to natural gas, these can be added to RVs or tiny homes without a dedicated gas line.
Easy cleanup
KitchenAid electric, induction and glass-on-gas cooktops can be easily cleaned with a specialized cleaner or a spray bottle filled with diluted white vinegar.
Stainless steel cooktops and cast iron grates are also easy to care for with a nonabrasive plastic scrubber and a mild abrasive.
How much you can expect to spend on a KitchenAid cooktop
The price varies depending on the size and type of cooktop. Expect to spend $1,000-$3,000.
KitchenAid cooktop FAQ
How challenging is it to install a cooktop?
A. When it comes to a KitchenAid gas cooktop, leave it to the professionals. A certified gas fitter is needed to make sure the connection is secure and safe.
Electric and induction cooktops are a much easier installation and can generally be completed by experienced DIYers. If you’re in doubt, check with the manufacturer for instructions.
Can gas cooktops be used when the power goes out?
A. Yes. Gas cooktops can be manually lit when power is not available. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific cooktop.

NEW YORK — After Richard Rojas was kicked out of the Navy, he began sharing disturbing thoughts that were coursing through his head — that cars were following him, that aircraft were dusting him with chemicals, that his meals were poisoned.
An uncle, Ramon Reyes, said Rojas offered a self-diagnosis: "You know that I'm crazy. And they're not giving me the help that I need."
Whether Rojas was correct about his mental condition is at the crux of a trial in New York, where he mounted a sidewalk in his car in 2017 and mowed down pedestrians in Times Square.
A teen tourist from Michigan died in front of her mother in the attack. More than 20 other people were injured.
Rojas, 31, is fighting murder, assault and other charges at a trial unfolding in the shadow of mass shootings across the country and the political debate in which gun-control opponents have sought to blame the violence on failures in mental health care.
At the outset, state Judge Daniel Conviser floated the possibility of a paradoxical outcome in the Rojas case: Jurors could find Rojas guilty, while at the same time deciding that he "lacked responsibility by reason of mental disease or defect." The judge said the finding would qualify him for an open ended "involuntary mental commitment" instead of a lengthy prison term.
Prosecutors concede Rojas had some mental challenges and that a motive for the attack is not clear cut. But they also argue that the defendant had led a mostly normal life — serving in the military, getting a real estate license, making friends — and that he doesn't meet the insanity standard needed to clear him of responsibility. They say he had several chances to stop his car on a bustling day in Times Squares but ruthlessly kept going until he crashed.
"It was impossible for him not to know exactly what was happening," prosecutor Alfred Peterson told the jury.
A prosecution case that ended late last month focused largely on harrowing accounts of victims who survived the carnage in Times Square. With the trial winding down, the defense has been trying to counter in recent days by drilling down on Rojas' troubled past to try to convince the jury he was too sick to know what he was doing.
Family members, including Reyes, have described the wave of paranoia from the witness stand.
A key defense witness has been Ziv Cohen, a psychiatrist on the faculty at Weill Cornell Medical College and at Columbia University, who diagnosed Rojas as schizophrenic. Unlike more common psychological disorders, schizophrenia is "a brain disease, so it's a chemical imbalance in the brain" that made Rojas prone to hallucinations, Cohen testified.
While in the Navy, Rojas began to hear voices, the doctor said. In particular, he was hearing from "James" — a "supernatural, God-like figure who had special information," he testified.
On the day of the rampage, his imaginary guide told Rojas he needed to crash his car into "spirits" around him in order to send them to heaven and to release Rojas "from the torture that he is experiencing as part of his psychosis," he testified.
"At a certain point, the psychosis becomes so severe that he can't control his behavior anymore," he said.
Family members testified about their despair over seeing Rojas disintegrate after he was discharged from the Navy in 2014 — the result of a court martial stemming from an arrest for beating a cab driver.
A brother, Wilmer Veras, took the witness stand to recall how a delusional Rojas was obsessed with keeping tape over his phone and laptop camera lenses in case he was being watched. When out in the world, he would "look for things that weren't there" and "say people were following him around." He even accused Veras of "doing voodoo on him."
At that point, "I told him he really needed to get help; that he was really losing it," Veras said.
The uncle, Ramon Reyes, recounted a phone call a few days before the Times Square crash in which Rojas asked for help. Reyes told him to come by his home the next day so he could take him to a doctor, but "he never showed up," he said.
When a relative contacted Reyes saying she saw a TV report about an arrest that had images of someone who looked like Rojas, the uncle began frantically calling his nephew hoping it wasn't him, he testified. The uncle was asked if Rojas ever picked up.
"No," the witness responded, then wept. | https://www.startribune.com/testimony-at-times-square-trial-attacker-was-hearing-voices/600180252/ | 2022-06-08T12:49:16Z | https://www.startribune.com/testimony-at-times-square-trial-attacker-was-hearing-voices/600180252/ | false | 41 |
NEW DELHI (AP) — India’s central bank on Wednesday raised its key interest rate to 4.9% from 4.4%, the second such hike in the last three weeks to contain inflation.
Reserve Bank of India Governor Shaktikanta Das said the decision was aimed at curbing price increases and mitigating the impact of geopolitical tensions, like the war in Ukraine.
“Upside risks to inflation … materialized earlier than expected," Das said.
Wednesday’s increase follows a 40 basis points rise in May.
The central bank raised its inflation projection for 2022-23 to 6.7% from 5.7% and kept its forecast for growth this year at 7.2%.
The war in Ukraine is giving rise to "newer challenges each passing day which is accentuating the existing supply chain disruptions. As a result, food, energy and commodity prices remain elevated,” Das said.
The price spikes have impacted consumer spending, which accelerated to an eight-year high of nearly 7.8% in April, according to official data.
India’s economy expanded at a 4.1% annual pace in the January-March quarter, following 5.4% growth in the previous quarter. Overall, the economy grew 8.7% in the 2021-22 financial year, slower than the 8.9% estimated by the government. | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/India-s-central-bank-raises-interest-rate-to-17226974.php | 2022-06-08T12:51:16Z | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/India-s-central-bank-raises-interest-rate-to-17226974.php | true | 21 |
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Michigan Supreme Court turned down an appeal Tuesday by another Republican candidate for governor whose campaign petitions were found to be full of fraudulent signatures.
The court declined to intervene in a decision by the Board of State Canvassers to keep Donna Brandenburg off the Aug. 2 Republican primary ballot.
Brandenburg, an entrepreneur from western Michigan, was one of five GOP candidates barred from the ballot. The state elections bureau told the board that they didn't have at least 15,000 valid signatures because paid circulators submitted thousands of phony ones.
There's been no evidence that the candidates were aware of the rogue work.
Business consultant Perry Johnson, former Detroit police Chief James Craig and investment adviser Michael Markey sued to get on the ballot but failed last week.
Johnson, who was willing to spend millions on his campaign, turned to a federal court Monday, saying his rights were violated during the process. The long shot lawsuit is pending.
Craig, who has wide name recognition in southeastern Michigan, said “it's not over,” but he didn't elaborate on what's next.
Meanwhile, the Aug. 2 ballot was finalized for printing Friday. | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Michigan-court-keeps-another-GOP-candidate-off-17226437.php | 2022-06-08T12:53:40Z | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Michigan-court-keeps-another-GOP-candidate-off-17226437.php | true | 24 |
(WXYZ) — Dozens of sexual abuse survivors at the hands of former U.S Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar have filed a Collective Administrative Claim against the FBI for its alleged mishandling of credible complaints of sexual assaults by Nassar in July 2015.
More than 90 young women and girls are a part of the claim, including Olympic medalists and Team USA gymnasts Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, McKayla Maroney, and Maggie Nichols. Former University of Michigan gymnast Samantha Roy is also part of the group, as is Kaylee Lorincz.
The women claim that the FBI failed to protect them from Nassar's abuse despite having the information and authority.
They are seeking more than $1 billion from the FBI over the mishandling of the investigation.
Under federal law, a government agency has six months to respond to the tort claim. Depending on how the bureau responds, lawsuits could follow. In May, the Justice Department said that it would not pursue criminal charges against former agents who failed to open an investigation quickly.
Last month, 13 Nassar survivors filed a lawsuit against the FBI seeking $10 million each, claiming a bungled investigation by federal agents led to more abuse by the sports doctor.
Nichols, who was the first victim to speak out against Nassar in 2015, says the FBI instead worked to hide the abuse.
“The FBI knew that Larry Nassar was a danger to children when his abuse of me was first reported in September of 2015. For 421 days, they worked with USA Gymnastics and USOPC to hide this information from the public and allowed Nassar to continue molesting young women and girls. It is time for the FBI to be held accountable,” Nichols said.
In sworn testimony to Congress, FBI officials admitted that FBI employees failed to perform their basic duties and ethical obligations properly.
“People at the FBI had their own chance to stop this monster back in 2015 and failed,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said to Congress.
As a result, Nassar continued his predatory behavior, sexually assaulting approximately 90 young women and children between July 28, 2015, and September 12, 2016.
“My fellow survivors and I were betrayed by every institution that was supposed to protect us. The US Olympic Committee, USA Gymnastics, the FBI, and now the Department of Justice. I had some hope that they would keep their word and hold the FBI accountable after we poured out our hearts to the US Senate Judiciary Committee and begged for justice. It is clear that the only path to justice and healing is through the legal process,” Maroney said.
The claimants are represented by Manly Stewart & Finaldi, Pitt McGehee Palmer Bonanni & Rivers, Grewal Law and Drew, Cooper & Anding, and Gruel Mills.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Four Roses Distillery will expand its Kentucky operations by investing more than $23 million to construct more storage warehouses for its spirits, Gov. Andy Beshear said.
Work on the new warehouses at Coxs Creek is expected to be completed by 2024.
Four Roses will build 17 warehouses totaling more than 776,000 square feet (72,092 square meters) to support continued growth of the Lawrenceburg-based distillery, Beshear's office said Tuesday.
“Kentucky’s bourbon and spirits growth continues at an incredible rate, and we welcome this major investment from Four Roses,” Beshear said.
The investment comes in response to increased demand for the company’s bourbon throughout the United States. Four Roses currently employs 137 people in Kentucky, including 20 at an existing warehouse in Coxs Creek.
Since Beshear took office, Kentucky’s spirits industry has had more than 50 new-location or expansion announcements, resulting in more than $1.1 billion in planned investments and more than 900 announced full-time jobs, the governor's office said. | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Four-Roses-adding-warehouses-in-Kentucky-expansion-17226971.php | 2022-06-08T12:54:36Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Four-Roses-adding-warehouses-in-Kentucky-expansion-17226971.php | false | 19 |
Simone Biles, others seek $1B-plus from FBI over Nassar
DETROIT (AP) — Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and dozens of other women who say they were sexually assaulted by Larry Nassar are seeking more than $1 billion from the FBI for failing to stop the sports doctor when the agency first received allegations against him, lawyers said Wednesday.
There’s no dispute that FBI agents in 2015 knew that the now-imprisoned Nassar was accused of assaulting gymnasts, but they failed to act, leaving him free to continue to target young women and girls for more than a year. He pleaded guilty in 2017 and is serving decades in prison.
“It is time for the FBI to be held accountable,” said Maggie Nichols, a national champion gymnast at Oklahoma in 2017-19.
Under federal law, a government agency has six months to respond to the tort claims filed Wednesday. Lawsuits could follow, depending on the FBI’s response.
The approximately 90 claimants include Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney, all Olympic gold medalists, according to Manly, Stewart & Finaldi, a California law firm.
“If the FBI had simply done its job, Nassar would have been stopped before he ever had the chance to abuse hundreds of girls, including me,” said former University of Michigan gymnast Samantha Roy.
An email seeking comment was sent to the FBI.
Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics told local FBI agents in 2015 that three gymnasts said they were assaulted by Nassar, a team doctor. But the FBI did not open a formal investigation or inform federal or state authorities in Michigan, according to the Justice Department’s inspector general, an internal watchdog.
Los Angeles FBI agents in 2016 began a sexual tourism investigation against Nassar and interviewed several victims but also didn’t alert Michigan authorities, the inspector general said.
Nassar wasn’t arrested until fall 2016 during an investigation by Michigan State University police. He was a doctor at Michigan State.
The Michigan attorney general’s office ultimately handled the assault charges against Nassar, while federal prosecutors in Grand Rapids, Michigan, filed a child pornography case.
In remarks to Congress last year, FBI Director Christopher Wray acknowledged major mistakes.
“I’m especially sorry that there were people at the FBI who had their own chance to stop this monster back in 2015 and failed. And that’s inexcusable,” Wray told victims at a Senate hearing.
At that same hearing, Biles, widely considered to be the greatest gymnast of all time, said an “entire system” enabled the abuse. Maroney recalled “dead silence” when she talked to FBI agents about Nassar.
The Justice Department in May said that it would not pursue criminal charges against former agents who were accused of giving inaccurate or incomplete responses during the inspector general’s investigation.
Michigan State University, which was also accused of missing chances over many years to stop Nassar, agreed to pay $500 million to more than 300 women and girls who were assaulted by Nassar. USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee made a $380 million settlement.

Paisley’s Fountain Gardens has been forced to shut after being vandalised.
The historic park has been targeted over a number of weeks and Renfrewshire Council has had to close the play area due to recent damage.
The park, home to the Grand Fountain featuring walruses and other Arctic creatures, is popular with visitors but the gates are now chained.

A council spokesman said: “The safe surface in Fountain Gardens play area has been vandalised over a number of weeks.
“The damage reached a level where the play area had to be closed off to the public on May 30.
“Repairs were carried out over the weekend of June 3 and the park consequently opened up on June 6.
People living near the park are angry that it had to be closed at all due to vandalism.
One woman living in the community told the Paisley Daily Express the vandalism has stopped her from taking her children to the park.
“All the rubber markings were ripped up around where the kids’ play.
“Now they have had to close the park because it isn’t safe.
“I have young children and we were going to go round to the park yesterday, but obviously we couldn’t because it was not safe for them anymore.”
Councillor Ben Smith, Labour’s representative in Paisley Northwest, says the issue has been raised with him.
He said: “The surface of the play area had become unsafe and the damage looked deliberate. One of my constituents pointed out that this was an accident waiting to happen.
As soon as I was aware of this, I contacted the council to try and get it resurfaced. Due to supply issues for that surface, it was closed longer than anticipated”
With the repairs carried out over the weekend, the park subsequently opened on Monday morning for the public to use again.

"We have before us a unique opportunity to drive differentiation and profitability in a category that is ripe for innovation and growth, and I'm more than up for the challenge. I look forward to building a diverse, talented team and elevating our portfolio of powerhouse brands focused on shaping the future of healthy snacking and fueling a more active world."

A memorial concert for country music guitarist Gary Adams will be held Greenfield’s McClain High School Auditorium at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 18.
Adams passed away Jan. 7, 2022, at the age of 78 at Adena Greenfield Medical Center following a bout with COVID-19.
Adams, who played with his brothers Don and Arnie in The Adams Boys, was best known as a founding member of George Jones’ touring band, The Jones Boys, and as a member of Johnny Paycheck’s touring band, The Lovemakers. He also played with a number of other country greats including Merle Haggard, Marty Robbins and Ray Price.
“He was a musician in the true sense of the word, and that’s all he has ever done,” his brother, Arnie Adams, said Tuesday. “I tried to get him to work with me before, and it was fun just watching him try because he couldn’t grasp that manual labor.”
The concert will consist of the remaining Adams brothers and other musicians Adams played with throughout his career. Musicians from Ohio, Tennessee and West Virginia will perform.
Along with Don and Arnie, Gary Adams was featured on two episodes of “Tales From the Tour Bus”, an animated documentary by Mike Judge that premiered on Cinemax in 2017. In the episodes, Adams and his brothers were animated through a technique known as rotoscoping, and they were featured recounting anecdotes about Johnny Paycheck and George Jones.
Gary Adams was a co-writer, along with Don Adams, of “Baby That’s Love” by Marty Robbins. He also wrote “I’m Getting Tired of Loving You” that was performed by Tony Booth and Darrell McCall. Additionally, he wrote “All American Man” with Johnny Paycheck.
Following his career playing and recording music, Adams settled down in his hometown of Greenfield and started a family with his wife, Barbara, who passed away in 2008. In his later years he played live music regularly with The Southern Memories Band and other artists.
Adams and his brothers will be inducted with Johnny Paycheck into The Ohio Country Music Hall of Fame on Saturday, Aug. 20.
Free tickets for the June 18 memorial concert are available at Sitterle Insurance at 315 Jefferson St. in Greenfield or by messaging Don or Arnie Adams on Facebook.

Billy the man: Slater back to haunt Blues in epic Origin upset
By Adam Pengilly
With each passing day, the whispers south of the Tweed this past week have grown to a quiet roar: the bloke now coaching Queensland is pretty damn good at a caper he’d never tried before.
Billy Slater is nothing like the vision a New South Welshman has of a Queenslander. He’s intelligent, articulate, clean cut.
But he still lives in Melbourne, so that makes him eminently qualified for his current role.
And just like the lost decade, the one when every man who wore blue was like a Washington General, the kid who produced State of Origin’s most famous chip-and-chase try is now back - as a man to taunt NSW as a coach.
This was Origin as Slater knew it, and how every NSW fan wished they never knew it, as the Maroons won in Sydney for the first time since when Slater was a player in 2017 with a famous 16-10 victory after Isaah Yeo was dragged down inches from the line on the last play of the night.
Slater only needs one more win - in either game two in Perth or back home in Brisbane in the series finale - and the greatest coaching introduction in Origin history might just be complete.
One of Slater’s best mates, Cameron Smith, was laughing in the commentary box. The other, Johnathan Thurston, was having so much fun relaying messages on the sideline he even threw a paper aeroplane back into the crowd.
At one stage, his team looked like they were going to play with just two reserves for the final 26 minutes when teenage rookie Jeremiah Nanai left the field in agony with an ankle injury.
Slater had Queensland exactly where he wanted them - and then Nanai miraculously reappeared shortly thereafter.
Inspired by the selection of four Origin debutants and memorable performances from Patrick Carrigan and Reuben Cotter, the Maroons suffocated a disjointed NSW, who now face the Herculean task of saving the series across the Nullarbor.
Slater’s star man, Cameron Munster, looks like Justin Bieber these days with his mop of bleached blond hair. He casually jogged out last onto his sport’s biggest stage before kick-off and then, at a moment when the crowd was waiting for the main act, seared his way through a NSW defence early in the second half.
His team scored off the next play through captain Daly Cherry-Evans’ scrum move, and Slater was back in a position he - and Queensland - know all too well.
Brad Fittler, on the other hand, did Brad Fittler things in the lead-up to game one.
He left out Josh Addo-Carr, bamboozling most of the state, and the NRL’s entire marketing department, who had dozens of flags made up of the winger flying outside Accor Stadium on game night. He chose a regular five-eighth in Jack Wighton at centre, and chose on the bench a rookie centre in Stephen Crichton to cover a number of positions ... and put him on to play centre for the hampered Kotoni Staggs (shoulder).
Yet for Freddy, things just seem to work.
Naturally, Wighton scored the first try. He burst through a little bit of space on the left, set up by Penrith teammates Nathan Cleary and Jarome Luai to his inside.
Another Panther, Isaah Yeo, was lucky to stay on the field after the opening hit-up, when he fell awkwardly under Josh Papalii’s charge.
But crucially, he appeared to stumble after getting to his feet, enough for him to be immediately ruled out of the rest of the game.
The NRL employed an independent doctor in a remote bunker for the first time in Origin, and Yeo was cleared to stay on the field.
Origin, hey.
Queensland lost Xavier Coates with a syndesmosis injury midway through the first half, but the other starting winger, 20-year-old rookie Selwyn Cobbo, was the magician for the Maroons’ response.
Cobbo plays with innocence of a kid in a Cherbourg schoolyard, which of course he was a couple of years ago. And when a bouncing ball came his way, he sprinted, kicked off his non-dominant right foot, allowing Dane Gagai to score and Valentine Holmes to give the Maroons an unlikely 6-4 half-time lead, but only after Junior Paulo had a try chalked off for obstruction from Cameron Murray.
Cherry-Evans’ try padded the lead to eight points, and it only prompted Fittler to send on Crichton, who was almost instantly placed on report for a lifting tackle on Munster.
Kalyn Ponga set up the outstanding Holmes, shifted to the wing in lieu of Coates, for breathing space, only for Cameron Murray to haul the Blues back within six with eight minutes left.
But this is Origin, and Slater is back involved.
It only ends one way.
QUEENSLAND 16 (Dane Gagai, Daly Cherry-Evans, Valentine Holmes tries; Valentine Holmes 2 goals) defeated NSW 10 (Jack Wighton, Cameron Murray tries; Nathan Cleary goal) at Accor Stadium. Referee: Ashley Klein. Crowd: 80,512.

Drew Brees is officially done at NBC Sports after one year.
NBC Sports chairman Pete Bevacqua said in a phone interview with The Associated Press that Brees will not be a part of the network's NFL and Notre Dame coverage this year. The New York Post reported last month that the former quarterback would not be coming back as a studio or game analyst.
Following that report, Brees took to social media and said he had not decided his future.
Bevacqua said conversations with Brees have centered around him wanting to spend more time with family.
“The unbelievable busyness of an NFL career and then really not taking a break at all and launching right in with us with both Notre Dame football and the NFL, it was certainly an around-the-clock assignment,” Bevacqua said. “This was definitely a lifestyle choice for him, which is totally understandable.”
Brees signed a multi-year contract with NBC in 2020, before he completed a 20-year NFL career with the San Diego Chargers and New Orleans Saints as the record holder in passing yards and touchdowns. He was an analyst for Notre Dame games with Mike Tirico and was in the studio most Sundays for “Football Night in America.” Brees and Tirico called the wild card round game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Cincinnati Bengals where Brees noticeably struggled.
Many thought Brees would be the heir apparent to Cris Collinsworth as the analyst on “Sunday Night Football,” but Collinsworth will remain in that role as Tirico moves into the play-by-play spot following Al Michaels' move to Amazon Prime Video for “Thursday Night Football.”
“It was a new role and everyone has a learning curve. I think he did an unbelievable job with Notre Dame and improved every week," Bevacqua said. “He was always unbelievably prepared, curious about how things were handled and the work that went into it.”
Even though Brees remains under contract to NBC, Bevacqua said they wouldn't stand in the way if another opportunity came along for Brees. Fox has an opening for an analyst on its No. 2 NFL team, but it is likely Brees will spend the season at home.
When it comes to who will call Notre Dame games and fill Brees' NFL studio spot, Bevacqua said they are closing in on a final decision.

PALMS MOTEL COULD BECOME APARTMENTS: The Palms Motel on North Interstate Avenue, famed for its towering neon sign featuring palm trees, could soon get new tenants staying for longer than a night. The property is likely to be redeveloped into an apartment complex with 223 housing units, including retail and parking space. The seven-story development was first reported by independent real estate reporter Iain MacKenzie, and the property is owned by Green Lotus Investments. The development plan is currently under review by the city. Dirgesh Patel, manager of Green Lotus, tells WW he intends to keep the sign. “I would never take that sign down. I wouldn’t think of it,” he says. The property has been owned by Patel’s family, albeit under a different company until recently, for 30 years. Patel says as of now, the development, if approved, will offer market-rate housing.
NATIONAL REPUBLICANS JUMP INTO GOVERNOR’S RACE: Christine Drazan, the Republican Party’s nominee for Oregon governor, received an early and notable donation May 22 to her general election campaign: $40,000 from the Republican Governors Association. The donation—an in-kind contribution for surveys and polls—is an early indication the group may invest heavily in the race. It’s the earliest the association has given to a Republican nominee in Oregon since at least 2010. In 2018, the group gave $3.4 million to Knute Buehler’s campaign and, in 2010, $2.5 million to Chris Dudley. Says Drazan campaign manager Trey Rosser: “The Republican Governors Association’s early investment in this race is a testament to the strength of Christine Drazan’s candidacy, as well as a reflection of the unique opportunity we have to elect a Republican governor in Oregon this year.”
OFFICIALS SQUANDERED VETERAN HOUSING DOLLARS: Portland City Auditor Mary Hull Caballero slammed the Joint Office of Homeless Services this week for paying a landlord $858,762 to house poor veterans in a squalid, mold-ridden apartment building on Northeast Sandy Boulevard for 16 months. The problem came to light last year after a building inspector discovered bed bugs, roaches, loads of black mold, faulty plumbing, holes in the walls, and a collapsed ceiling. KOIN TV did a special report on the Sandy Studios in April 2021. As is customary with investigations like this, Shannon Singleton, interim director of the Joint Office, responded to the auditor, thanking her for her work. As is less customary, Singleton hammered the report for what she said were glaring errors. “We disagree with some of the statements made regarding the work conducted by our office and provider partners,” Singleton wrote. Case in point: The auditor wrote that “conditions had been devolving for almost two years without action from the Joint Office.” Singleton says the Joint Office started working to relocate the veterans in 2020, before the KOIN story and way before the auditor’s report, work that counts as “action.” Singleton went on to say that accountability can be strengthened in Portland “without the inaccurate statements and inflammatory language used in this hotline report.”
PRIDE AND BLM MURAL DEFACED: A parent of a student at James John Elementary in North Portland noticed June 3 that a Pride and Black Lives Matter mural created by students had been defaced at the school. A brown substance had been smeared across the entire mural, which depicted a rainbow flag and a raised fist. The parent alerted school administrators of the vandalism, but the substance was not cleaned up until Monday afternoon after another parent reported the mural’s condition to the school. On June 6, the principal’s secretary said the school was “investigating” the incident but declined to comment further. June is Pride month.
NONPROFIT SUES OVER OREGON COAST ACCESS: Public access to Oregon’s coastline is a proud state heritage dating back to Gov. Tom McCall. This week, an environmental nonprofit filed suit over it. In March 2021, the lawsuit alleges, barbed wire and a gate installed on Coos Bay property owned by the Jay O’Leary Living Trust made the trail to Lighthouse Beach impassable. The Surfrider Foundation filed a lawsuit June 6 to restore public access to the beach. Mike Sargetakis, an attorney for the foundation, says the nonprofit’s Coos Bay chapter needs access to conduct beach cleanups and monitor water quality. “We’ll get into some talks with them and get the path opened,” Sargetakis tells WW. “But we are fully prepared to litigate this one and get the path opened up for the public to enjoy.” The trust did not respond to a request for comment. | https://www.wweek.com/news/2022/06/08/murmurs-palms-motel-could-become-apartments/ | 2022-06-08T13:05:44Z | https://www.wweek.com/news/2022/06/08/murmurs-palms-motel-could-become-apartments/ | false | 1 |

-- ASC42 has completed Phase I trials in the U.S. and China. This approval from U.S. FDA enables Gannex to complete a critical drug-drug interaction (DDI) study to support upcoming Phase III trials in China, the U.S. and European Union
-- Gannex expects to complete this DDI study at the beginning of Q4, 2022
-- Currently, Phase II clinical trial of FXR agonist ASC 42 in China is in progress. Gannex intends to start Phase III clinical trials in China, the U.S. and European Union after the completion of the Phase II clinical trial which is ongoing in China
SHANGHAI, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Gannex, a wholly owned company of Ascletis Pharma Inc. (HKEX: 1672) today announces that it has obtained the U.S. FDA clearance for its drug candidate, ASC42, to initiate a drug-drug interaction (DDI) study. This important DDI study is designed to provide more evidence to support upcoming Phase III clinical trials in China, the U.S. and European Union for treatment of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).
ASC42 is an in-house developed, novel non-steroidal, selective, potent Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist with best-in-class potential and global intellectual property. Previous Phase I clinical trial in the U.S. (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04679129) demonstrated that ASC42 might be a potentially best-in-class PBC drug candidate as low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were in normal range with no pruritus occurrence, and FXR target engagement biomarker FGF19 increased 1,780% when ASC42 was dosed at 15 mg, once daily (QD) during the 14-day treatment. Currently, Phase II clinical trial of FXR agonist ASC 42 in China is in progress. Gannex intends to start a Phase III trial in China, the U.S. and European Union once the ongoing Phase II clinical trial of ASC42 for PBC in China is completed.
PBC is a chronic autoimmune cholestatic disease and frequently progresses to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis requiring liver transplantation or resulting in death. An epidemiology study indicates that there were approximately 120,000 PBC patients in the U.S. in 2014[1]. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is the standard treatment for PBC, however, approximately 40% PBC patients have an inadequate response to or are unable to tolerate UDCA[2]. For those patients with insufficient UDCA response or intolerance, Obeticholic Acid (OCA) is the only approved medicine in the U.S. while it has not been approved in China yet. Additionally, OCA may significantly cause pruritus and LDL-C levels to rise.
"I'm very excited that we will soon start a drug-drug interaction study on FXR Agonist ASC42 to support upcoming Phase III trials in China, the U.S. and European Union for PBC indication. Together with other 6 NASH/PBC drug candidates, Gannex reaffirms the commitment to address the huge unmet medical needs through bringing more innovative treatment for patients globally." said Dr. Jinzi J. Wu, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Ascletis.

Kairi (Kairi Sane) Reveals why she Left WWE and Joined Stardom
Kairi Sane was a fan favorite and former Champion during her time in WWE, which is why WWE fans were disappointed to see her stop competing in the ring for a while. Sane would end up being an ambassador for WWE in 2020 after returning to Japan, and after her WWE contract expired she would return to active competition as part of Stardom, wrestling her first match in almost two years in March of this year. During a new interview with Entame Next, Kairi revealed why she decided not to return to WWE and what led to her joining Stardom, and it was partly because of promises fulfilled and Stardom reigniting a passion for the ring.
"When I left Japan in 2017, I promised my fans that I would go on a long journey, but that I would come back grown up. I told that to President Rossy Ogawa (now Executive Producer). In the first place, my goal was to learn first-class professional wrestling, and I didn't really intend to live permanently in the US. I thought about retiring from wrestling," Kairi said. "This is a personal story, but I lost my best friend to illness. I made a vow at her graveside and promised to make it happen: I was going to participate in WrestleMania. I wanted to make it happen for sure. Thanks to that, I was able to compete in three WrestleManias, had a title match with Asuka as Kabuki Warriors, became a champion in both NXT and WWE, and even received an award for the NXT overall competitor of the year."
"After I moved to the U.S., my personal life was secondary to my professional life, and I was flying around and competing four times a week without a break, but then the pandemic hit, and I suddenly had time to myself," Kairi said. "Then I took the time to do some introspection. I thought, 'Where am I going to go from here? I had a sense of accomplishment that I had fulfilled my promise to my best friend and that I had done everything I could in my three years with WWE, and after several consultations with WWE, I decided to leave."
Kairi wasn't planning on returning to the ring, but that all changed after Stardom's Budokan, which got her thinking of jumping back into the ring and taking on some new challenges.
"After I returned to Japan, I had not been watching professional wrestling with much enthusiasm. But when I went to Stardom's Budokan last year, the feeling of 'I want to fight with everyone someday' came up from my heart," Kairi said. "However, even if I were to return, it would be the first time in about two years that I would be in the ring. The pacing of the matches and the rules were different from those in WWE, and I wasn't sure if I would be able to adapt quickly. However, I had been training in the gym even when I was not competing, so I was in good physical condition."
"Another aspect of my decision to return was that I was confident in my three years of learning and experiencing wrestling in WWE. I am proud of the fact that I once protected Stardom during a period of stagnation as a player president, and I am proud of the fact that I was at the forefront of WWE women's wrestling during its reform period, and I am proud of the fact that I have overcome both of these challenges," Kairi said.

WASHINGTON (NewsNation) — Parents of victims and survivors of the mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas are set to appear before a House committee Wednesday as lawmakers weigh new measures to curb rampant gun violence.
Ten people were killed when an 18-year-old gunman opened fire in a racist attack on Black shoppers in a Buffalo grocery store. Less than two weeks later, another teenage gunman with a semi-automatic rifle opened fire in Uvalde, killing 19 school children and two teachers.
The panel for Wednesday’s hearing will include testimony from Miah Cerrillo, a fourth-grader who covered herself in her dead classmate’s blood and played dead to survive the shooting rampage in Uvalde.
NewsNation will live stream the hearing in the player above.
The panel will also hear from the mother of a 20-year-old man who was shot in a racist mass shooting last month in a Buffalo supermarket, as well as the parents of a 10-year-old girl shot and killed in a Texas elementary school. The committee said the testimonies will take place either in person or virtually.
The son of Ruth Whitfield, an 86-year-old woman killed in the Buffalo supermarket, challenged Congress Tuesday to act against the “cancer of white supremacy” and the nation’s epidemic of gun violence.
“What are you doing? You were elected to protect us,” Garnell Whitfield Jr. told members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“Is there nothing that you personally are willing to do to stop the cancer of white supremacy and the domestic terrorism it inspires?” he asked. “If there is nothing then, respectfully, senators … you should yield your positions of authority and influence to others that are willing to lead on this issue.”
Senators have been meeting privately in a small bipartisan group headed by Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy and Republican Sen. John Cornyn, trying to hash out a compromise that could actually become law. President Joe Biden has been meeting with the group in an attempt to hash out a deal.
“As a nation, we have to ask when in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?” Biden said last month in the days after the Uvalde shooting. “I am sick and tired of it. We have to act. Don’t tell me we can’t have an impact on this carnage.”
Lawmakers have been here before — unable to pass any substantial gun safety laws in decades in the face of steep objections from Republicans in Congress, some conservative Democrats and the fierce lobby of gun owners and the National Rifle Association. No major legislation has made it into law since the 1994 assault weapons ban, which has since expired.

CASTAIC, Calif. (AP) — Six inmate firefighters suffered burn injuries Tuesday when fire broke out inside a vehicle on a Southern California forest road, authorities said.
Emergency crews responded shortly after 11 a.m. following reports of burned patients on Templin Highway in Angeles National Forest near Castaic, said Esteban Benitez, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
Four people were transported to hospitals in helicopters and two were taken by ambulances, Benitez said.
All six were inmate firefighters from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, county fire officials said. They were all in stable condition after being treated for “mild to moderate” burns, the county fire department said on Twitter.
“A flash fire occurred in the back of an inmate camp crew vehicle,” the department tweeted. “Incident is under investigation.”
Additional details about the fire were not immediately available.
Initial reports were that a county fire crew was taking part in a training exercise in the area, according to Officer Josh Greengard with the California Highway Patrol.
An ABC7 helicopter showed firefighters, fire vehicles and helicopters on the highway, along with a group of about about a dozen people in orange outfits seated on the roadside.
Old Golden State Highway, just west of Interstate 5, was shut down to land rescue helicopters in the area about 45 miles (72 km) northwest of downtown Los Angeles. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/6-people-suffer-burn-injuries-in-forest-north-of-17225706.php | 2022-06-08T13:15:30Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/6-people-suffer-burn-injuries-in-forest-north-of-17225706.php | false | 20 |
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Emergency services used a sonar-equipped boat Tuesday in the hunt for the wreckage of a small airplane that crashed over the weekend in a waterway that is part of the busy port of Rotterdam and two people on board, as police in Norway said the two people missing were Norwegians.
The identities of those on board the plane haven’t been released. Police in Norway told broadcaster NRK in Norway that two Norwegian citizens are missing after the crash. Another broadcaster, TV2, said a school has confirmed that one of those missing was a student living in the Norwegian city of Bergen.
The type of plane that disappeared after the crash Sunday night over a canal between the port and a North Sea beach was not known. Pieces of wreckage and traces of oil were found Sunday, but the remains of the plane and the two people on board haven’t been found despite an intensive search operation.
Broadcaster NRK said that the plane took off Sunday morning from Bergen, is registered in Spain but has Norwegian owners. Dutch authorities have said that it last took off from eastern Germany and was heading for France.
There has been no word on the cause of the crash. Local security authorities said Sunday they believed it was an accident and that police were investigating.

Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and dozens of other women who say they were sexually assaulted by Larry Nassar are seeking more than $1 billion from the FBI for failing to stop the now convicted sports doctor when the agency first received allegations against him, lawyers said Wednesday.
There's no dispute that FBI agents in 2015 knew that Nassar was accused of assaulting gymnasts, but they failed to act, leaving him free to continue to target young women and girls for more than a year.
"It is time for the FBI to be held accountable,” said Maggie Nichols, a national champion gymnast at Oklahoma in 2017-19.
Under federal law, a government agency has six months to respond to the tort claims filed Wednesday. Lawsuits could follow, depending on the FBI’s response.
The approximately 90 claimants include Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney, all Olympic gold medalists, according to Manly, Stewart & Finaldi, a California law firm.
"If the FBI had simply done its job, Nassar would have been stopped before he ever had the chance to abuse hundreds of girls, including me,” said former University of Michigan gymnast Samantha Roy.
An email seeking comment was sent to the FBI.
Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics told local FBI agents in 2015 that three gymnasts said they were assaulted by Nassar, a team doctor. But the FBI did not open a formal investigation or inform federal or state authorities in Michigan, according to the Justice Department's inspector general, an internal watchdog.
Los Angeles FBI agents in 2016 began a sexual tourism investigation against Nassar and interviewed several victims but also didn’t alert Michigan authorities, the inspector general said.
Nassar wasn’t arrested until fall 2016 during an investigation by Michigan State University police. He was a doctor at Michigan State.
The Michigan attorney general’s office ultimately handled the assault charges against Nassar, while federal prosecutors in Grand Rapids, Michigan, filed a child pornography case. He is serving decades in prison.
In remarks to Congress last year, FBI Director Christopher Wray acknowledged major mistakes.
“I’m especially sorry that there were people at the FBI who had their own chance to stop this monster back in 2015 and failed. And that’s inexcusable,” Wray told victims at a Senate hearing.
The Justice Department in May said that it would not pursue criminal charges against former FBI agents who were accused of giving inaccurate or incomplete responses during the inspector general's investigation.
Michigan State University, which was also accused of missing chances over many years to stop Nassar, agreed to pay $500 million to more than 300 women and girls who were assaulted by Nassar. USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee made a $380 million settlement. | https://www.nbcboston.com/news/national-international/biles-raisman-among-victims-seeking-1b-plus-from-fbi-for-failing-to-stop-nassar/2742002/ | 2022-06-08T13:15:41Z | https://www.nbcboston.com/news/national-international/biles-raisman-among-victims-seeking-1b-plus-from-fbi-for-failing-to-stop-nassar/2742002/ | true | 78 |

*****
QB AUSTIN NOVOSAD
Moved up: 110 spots
The strong-armed Baylor commit had a really impressive spring. He's shown that he can deliver passes on time and accurately despite tight coverage or adverse weather conditions.
Novosad checks the boxes when it comes his physical traits as well. He stands tall at 6-foot-3 and has a solid foundation in his footwork, which helps all the other areas of his game. In game situations, Novosad has done well going through his reads and making the right throws, leading to a 4:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
*****
LB TONY ROJAS
Moved up: 99 spots
Rojas is an elite athlete at linebacker that can truly cover sideline to sideline. He has the speed and length to match up with any running back and most tight ends. Rojas is also a very physical hitter despite his lean frame. He should fill out well when he gets to the next level and is expected to be an impact player once he physically matures.
Rojas was just at Clemson for an official visit and he has visits to Georgia, Miami and Penn State coming up this month.
*****
DL BAI JOBE
Moved up: 97 spots
Jobe is an explosive defensive end that can get into the backfield and play in space. He has the frame and length to give offensive linemen problems regardless of the game situation. Jobe's acceleration and overall quickness really stand out on film.
Once he beats his man, Jobe is flying to the ball carrier and laying a big hit. The Oklahoma native has a ton of potential and that's a big reason why he's rising up the rankings and why programs such as Alabama, Oklahoma and many others are pursuing him.
*****
WR MALIK ELZY
Moved up: 87 spots
A big, strong receiver, Elzy has proven to be a mismatch with nearly every defensive back that lines up across from him. At 6-foot-2 and 206 pounds, he is a touch matchup for smaller defensive backs because he is so strong and uses his frame to shield them from the ball. Taller defensive backs have a hard time keeping up with Elzy because of his route running skills and overall speed.
Elzy creates separation in a variety of ways and college coaches around the country are hoping to get him on campus for visits this summer. He visited Illinois this past weekend and has a visit to Cincinnati coming up this weekend.
*****
OL COLTON THOMASSON
Moved up: 87 spots
Even after losing more than 75 pounds, Thomasson is still one of the biggest offensive linemen in this class. Around 6-foot-8, the Texas A&M commit has proven to be a patient and disciplined pass blocker. Thomasson, unsurprisingly, is a devastating run blocker that drives his man off the line of scrimmage and opens huge running lanes for ball carriers.
He's so big and can push around defensive linemen almost at will but continued physical development will have a big hand in determining where he ultimately ends up in the rankings.
*****
WR AYDEN WILLIAMS
Moved up: 82 spots
Williams is another bigger receiver that excels against man coverage. He isn't necessarily a burner but Williams is very physical and has strong hands so he can bring down the ball in traffic. Williams is a savvy route runner who knows what subtle movements can throw defenders off balance.
There are six programs remaining in contention for a commitment from Williams but Ole Miss and LSU seem to have the best shot.
*****
RB QUINTEN JOYNER
Moved up: 80 spots
Joyner is an incredibly productive running back with plenty of speed. The USC commit posted nearly 2,500 rushing yards and more than 30 touchdowns last season and ran a sub-11-second 100m last summer.
Joyner is a patient running back with the strength and size to fight off defenders and break off runs for big gains. He does a great job seeing his running lanes and is a decisive runner that keeps his balance well.
*****
OL AUSTIN SIEREVELD
Moved up: 78 spots
A huge interior offensive lineman, Siereveld is a road grader that opens running lanes and puts defensive linemen on their heels. The Ohio State commit does a good job setting and resetting his hands and feet as defensive linemen try various moves to get around him.
Sierveld does a good job in pass protection as well. His heavy hands and long arms help him keep defenders out of the backfield.
*****
DL EDRIC HILL
Moved up: 73 spots
Hill is a physical, aggressive and active defensive tackle that does a good job disengaging from offensive linemen and chasing down the ball carrier. At 6-foot-2, Hill certainly isn’t a small lineman and there is room for him to continue to add strength and mass to his frame as he gets older.
Hill holds his ground against the run and uses his leverage to keep offensive linemen from moving the line of scrimmage.
Nebraska, Iowa, USC, LSU, Alabama and a few others are in solid position with Hill as the summer visit season begins.
*****
DB MALIK HARTFORD
Moved up: 63 spots
A big, rangy safety, Hartford is a major playmaker in the secondary. The Ohio State commit is a very good run defender and uses his speed to chase down ball carriers. Hartford can read the quarterback’s eyes and cover the deep middle of the field effectively.

But when she ran over it with her trolley it turned out to be an envelope stuffed with thousands of pounds. But rather than pocketing the find she handed the cash over to police saying: "I only did what was right".
Annie, from South Derbyshire, found the envelope containing £3,800 in cash in the car park of Morrisons in Swadlincote. She told Derbyshire Live how she ran over it and as she did it popped open.
She said she noticed money was coming out of the envelope so she took it home then reported it to Derbyshire Police. The money has since been returned to its owner after they came forward to claim it.
Annie has now been given a big thank you from both the grateful owner and officers from the Mercia Safer Neighbourhood Team. The officers visited her and handed her a thank-you letter from Derbyshire police.
They also brought her flowers and a box of chocolates. And to top it all she was given some of the cash she found by the owner.
Responding to the visit from police, Annie said: "When I saw the envelope on the floor, I thought it was a balloon and I pushed my shopping trolley over it to pop it.
"The envelope popped and loads of money fell out. I took the money home and could not rest worrying about the person who had lost it. I only did the right thing."
Sergeant Nizzer, of the Safer Neighbourhood Team, and Officer Bob were quick to praise Annie for her actions. They said: “Words cannot describe Annie. She is a truly amazing lady who deserves the thanks and praise of the whole community. Well done.”

France’s National Cinema Federation (FNCF), which represents exhibitors in the market, has said it “firmly protests” Disney’s decision to bypass French cinemas with animated adventure pic Strange World.
As we reported earlier today, Disney has opted to forego theatrical and will release the movie directly on Disney Plus in France, taking a stance versus the country’s recently revised windowing system which the studio calls “cumbersome” and “anti-consumer.”
Reacting in a statement, the FNCF called Disney’s decision “a losing choice for everyone” that would “seriously undermine the economy of cinemas and the sector as a whole.”
France updated its arcane windows back in January this year, shortening the span between theatrical and the market’s long-held 36-month SVOD waiting period, but Disney was not among the signatories of an agreement between TV channels, streamers and the film industry.
Currently, Disney’s theatrical releases must wait 17 months after their debut in cinemas to go to Disney Plus, and for a period of just five months. At 22 months, they come off the service and go to free-to-air channels for a 14-month exclusive window before reverting to Disney Plus again after 36 months.
The FNCF today said that exhibition was being “instrumentalized” in the matter which it said is “totally unacceptable and terribly unfair.” It invited Disney to participate in meetings to be organized by national film body the CNC within the framework of the clause provided for in the media chronology agreement that was signed in January. It also called on public authorities to allow a rapid resolution of this “major problem… by leading a conciliation between the stakeholders, and by avoiding making spectators and cinemas the collateral victims of these disputes.”

Midland inclusion made after extensive market review, to go into effect from June 2023 cargo deliveries
LONDON, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, today announced that it will reflect cargoes of WTI Midland crude oil in its Dated Brent, Cash BFOE and all related assessments across the Brent complex with effect from June 2023 cargo deliveries. This announcement follows extensive market engagement and consultation and a proposal period in which it received widespread support for including WTI Midland crude oil, a mainstay in the European refining sector and around the world.
The inclusion of WTI Midland crude oil will extend across the Brent complex, including Dated Brent price assessments, the benchmark for North Sea light sweet crude and reference point for around two-thirds of the world's oil trade. With this change, physical cargoes of WTI Midland crude oil could be bid or offered in the Platts Market-On-Close (MOC) price assessment process for Dated Brent from the first publication day in May 2023, and the associated June Cash BFOE value assessed from February 2023. Platts will be finalizing the Cash BFOE methodology in the coming months through dialogue with the marketplace.
Platts' inclusion of WTI Midland comes after a review process that started in December 2020, including market engagement, multiple rounds of feedback, and a joint white paper with the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).
Vera Blei, Global Head of Established Benchmarks, S&P Global Commodity Insights, said: "We are pleased that after an extensive period of consultation and detailed feedback that we identified a clear path forward, built on adding WTI Midland crude oil into the Brent complex. This is the first time that a crude grade from outside of the North Sea will be reflected in the Brent complex, and the inclusion will help ensure a stronger and more robust Brent complex for the decades ahead. Since US crude oil export restrictions were lifted in 2015, WTI Midland crude has established itself as a mainstay in the European refining sector and increasingly reflected seaborne market fundamentals. We are aware of several sets of bilateral contract amendments in the Brent cash forward market being discussed among North Sea market participants. The complexity and variety of these terms mean that no industry standard is yet to emerge so far ahead of implementation, and Platts looks forward to working with market participants to further define the forward mechanism to be included into the Dated Brent complex."
WTI Midland crude oil is produced mainly in the Permian basin of West Texas. The other five crude oil grades included are: Brent, Forties, Oseberg, Ekofisk and Troll. Platts currently publishes assessments of WTI Midland in both Northwest Europe and the Mediterranean on the basis of cost, insurance and freight (CIF) and delivered at place (DAP). These instruments have shown good liquidity in the Platts MOC price assessment process since their inception, providing transparent and robust data points for assessment.
For further information, please see the initial proposal for WTI Midland inclusion, published February 14, 2022, at this link. You can also view the consultation published July 21, 2021, at this link. Market participants are encouraged to send comments, feedback and questions to Platts_Oil_Feedback@spglobal.com and pricegroup@spglobal.com.

- Shah will be focused on building out the supply chain infrastructure for cell feed components and scaling manufacturing to commercial scale
- Shah brings 25 years of experience, including previous roles as Senior Vice President of Product & Operations at Impossible Foods and Chief Operations Officer at Verifone
BERKELEY, Calif., June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- UPSIDE Foods, the leading company in the cultivated meat, poultry and seafood industry, has announced the appointment of Sheetal Shah as Senior Vice President of Supply Chain and Manufacturing. This news comes on the heels of UPSIDE announcing its record-breaking $400 million Series C round that enables the company to unlock the industry's biggest opportunities around scale, supply chain, and consumer adoption.
Shah is joining UPSIDE as the company approaches commercialization and scales production. He will lead the development of UPSIDE's supply chain and strategic sourcing for cell feed and other critical inputs that will reduce costs and enable scale. Shah will also oversee UPSIDE's production facilities – including its existing Engineering, Production and Innovation Center (EPIC) and future larger-scale commercial facilities – and quality functions.
Prior to UPSIDE Foods, Shah served as Senior Vice President of Product & Operations at Impossible Foods, where he managed the supply chain through a period of global turbulence during the COVID-19 pandemic, expanded the product portfolio, enabled retail expansion globally and unlocked manufacturing capacity. He was also formerly the Chief Operations Officer at Verifone, where he managed global supply chains through periods of hypergrowth. Before that, Shah was the Chief Procurement Officer at Google's Motorola division, where he was responsible for end-to-end global supplier management. Shah started his career at Motorola as a DSP software engineer and holds multiple patents in the areas of speech recognition and audio processing.
"Sheetal has everything it takes to be an UPSIDER: a deep commitment to making our favorite foods a force for good, a proven track record of solving seemingly intractable challenges and a passion for human health, animal welfare and the environment," said Dr. Uma Valeti, CEO and Founder of UPSIDE Foods. "I am thrilled to welcome Sheetal to the team as we unlock some of the most critical opportunities for the cultivated meat industry."
UPSIDE Foods recently announced the close of a $400 million Series C funding round, the largest in the industry to date, placing its valuation at over $1 billion. The funding enables UPSIDE to build its commercial-scale facility, develop the supply chain for cell feed and other inputs and invest in consumer education. It will also be used to commercialize UPSIDE's first product – real chicken, grown directly from animal cells – pending regulatory review.
"I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining UPSIDE Foods at such an exciting inflection point. Cultivated meat will transform our food system for the better, and UPSIDE is the clear industry leader," said Sheetal Shah. "Developing a reliable supply chain for making cultivated meat at scale is one of the greatest opportunities for the planet."
Over the past year, the company has rebranded from Memphis Meats to UPSIDE Foods, announced chicken as its first consumer product, partnered with three-Michelin starred chef Dominique Crenn, developed a cell feed that's completely free of animal components, acquired cultivated seafood company Cultured Decadence, and opened its Engineering, Production and Innovation Center (EPIC)—the most advanced production facility and innovation center for cultivated meat in the world.
About UPSIDE Foods
Based in Berkeley, CA, UPSIDE Foods (formerly known as Memphis Meats) is developing a way to grow real meat, poultry and seafood directly from animal cells, without the need to raise and slaughter animals. These products are not vegetarian, plant-based or meat alternatives -- they are real meat, made without the animal. Founded as the world's first cultivated meat company in 2015, UPSIDE Foods has achieved numerous industry-defining milestones, including being the first company to produce multiple species of meat (beef, chicken and duck). The company believes that people shouldn't have to choose between the foods they love and a thriving planet, and is working to build a better food system where everybody has access to delicious, humane, and sustainable meat. UPSIDE Foods has won various industry awards, including New York Times' Good Tech Awards, FastCo's Next Big Thing in Tech, and the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the Nation by the National Association for Business Resources. UPSIDE Foods has raised a total of $608 million. For more information, please visit www.upsidefoods.com.

NATIONAL CITY, Calif. and WALL, N.J., May 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BIO-key International, Inc. ( BKYI), an innovative provider of workforce and customer identity and access management (IAM) solutions featuring Identity-Bound Biometrics (IBB), today announced YYK Enterprises Operations, LLC (YYK), a provider of structural and mechanical repair/preservation services to the military and commercial maritime industries, has selected BIO-key's PortalGuard® IAM platform, including WEB-key biometric authentication, to provide its workforce with strong authentication security to mission-critical applications and data.
YYK sought a new IAM solution to improve authentication security and enhanced support of US Government security requirements for data and its encryption (e.g., NIST, FIPS).

Another win for the YYK team was to sole-source the complete solution from BIO-key, including using PIV-Pro fingerprint readers, which are BIO-key's highly accurate FIPS 201 compliant scanner, providing the best in class biometric fingerprint authentication for its customers.
"Based on our search for an enterprise IAM solution that provided secure passwordless authentication and met US Government compliance requirements, we can validate the significant value provided by the PortalGuard IAM platform and biometric capabilities over other vendor solutions," said William Elks, IT Manager, YYK Enterprises. "We are looking forward to a long, mutually beneficial partnership with BIO-key."
"We are pleased to add YYK to our community of customers that support both military and commercial customers," said Mark Cochran, President of BIO-key - PortalGuard. "Our team has extensive experience enabling government agencies and their contractor partners to meet the challenges of an evolving threat landscape while cost-effectively securing their operations."

The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today has approved the proposal for signing a bilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Cooperation in the field of Industries and Advanced Technologies.
Growing India-UAE economic and commercial relations contribute to the stability and strength of a rapid diversifying and deepening bilateral relationship between the two countries. India-UAE bilateral trade, valued at US$ 180 million (Rs.1373 crore) per annum in the 1970s has increased to US$ 60 billion (Rs.4.57 lakh crore) making the UAE, India's third largest trading partner for the year 2019-20 after China and the US. Moreover, the UAE is the second largest export destination of India (after US) with an export value of US$ 29 billion (Rs.2.21 lakh crore) for the year 2019-2020. The UAE is eighth largest investor in India with an estimated investment of US$ 18 billion (Rs.1.37 lakh crore). Indian investments in the UAE are estimated at around US$ 85 billion (Rs.6.48 lakh crore).
India and the UAE have signed a bilateral "Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement" (CEPA) on 18/02/2022. This agreement has potential to increase trade between India and the UAE from US$ 60 billion (Rs.4.57 lakh crore) to US$ 100 billion (Rs.7.63 lakh crore) in the next five years.
The MoU envisages cooperation on a mutually beneficial basis in the following areas:
a. Strengthening the Supply Chain Resilience of Industries
b. Renewable & Energy Efficiency
c. Health and life sciences
d. Space Systems
e. Artificial Intelligence
f. Industry 4.0 Enabling Technologies
g. Standardization, metrology, conformity assessment, accreditation, and Halal certification.
The MoU aims at strengthening and developing industries in both nations through investments, technology transfer, and the deployment of key technologies in industries. This is likely to generate employment across the economy.
The implementation of MoU may lead to increase in research and innovation in all areas of mutual cooperation, particularly in the areas of Renewable Energy, Artificial Intelligence, Industry Enabling technologies and Health, and Life science. This may lead to growth of these sectors, increased domestic production, enhanced exports, and reduction in imports.
Signing of the MoU will result in fulfilling the goal of Atmanirbhar Bharat, a clarion call given by Hon'ble Prime Minister of India in making India a self-reliant nation.

Unlocked OnePlus 9 5G drops to new all-time low price for one day only
We may earn a commission if you make a purchase from the links on this page.
Seeing as how the "vanilla" OnePlus 10 is not a thing yet and may never become a commercial reality even after almost all of its key specs were purportedly revealed back in April, we definitely won't blame you if you still find the "regular" version of the brand's 2021 flagship appealing.
With a "Fluid AMOLED" 6.55-inch display capable of refreshing your content at a 120Hz rate, as well as a powerful Snapdragon 888 processor that's aged pretty gracefully, not to mention a large 4,500mAh battery equipped with blazing fast 65W charging technology, the OnePlus 9 can certainly be a smart 2022 buy... at $529.
That's obviously not the unlocked handset's list price, but it is how much OnePlus is currently charging for both Astral Black and Winter Mist flavors after a huge $200 discount.
Granted, we've seen this bad boy fetching considerably less than its $729 MSRP several times over the last few months, but as far as we know, this marks a new record low price with no strings attached whatsoever.
The likes of Amazon and Best Buy, mind you, are selling the exact same device in the exact same hues at a significantly higher price of $600 right now, so if you want to save the extra 70 bucks, there's only one option and you have (less than) 24 hours to take advantage of it.
You can even get a sandstone bumper case at no additional charge if you hurry, and although no one can predict the future, something tells us there will be no better OnePlus 9 5G deals offered anytime soon. Not by the phone's manufacturer itself and not by Amazon during the upcoming Prime Day 2022 festival, though bargain hunters willing to open a new line of T-Mobile service can always do that and knock this powerhouse down to $0.

KYIV, Ukraine — Russia drew closer to its goal of fully capturing Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland of coal mines and factories as the Kremlin claimed to have taken control of 97% of one of the two provinces that make up the Donbas region.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Tuesday that Moscow’s forces hold nearly all of Luhansk province. And it appears that Russia now occupies roughly half of Donetsk province, according to Ukrainian officials and military analysts.
After abandoning its bungled attempt to storm Kyiv two months ago, Russia declared that taking the entire Donbas is its main objective. Moscow-backed separatists have been battling Ukrainian government forces in the Donbas since 2014, and the region has borne the brunt of the Russian onslaught in recent weeks.
Early in the war, Russian troops also took control of the entire Kherson region and a large part of the Zaporizhzhia region, both in the south. Russian officials and their local appointees have talked about plans for those regions to either declare their independence or be folded into Russia.
But in what may be the latest instance of anti-Russian sabotage inside Ukraine, Russian state media said Tuesday that an explosion at a cafe in the city of Kherson wounded four people. Tass called the apparent bombing in the Russian-occupied city a “terror act.”
Before the Feb. 24 invasion, Ukrainian officials said Russia controlled some 7% of the country, including the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014, and areas held by the separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk. Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian forces hold 20% of the country.

While Russia has superior firepower, the Ukrainian defenders are entrenched and have shown the ability to counterattack.
Zelenskyy said Russian forces made no significant advances in the eastern Donbas region over the past day.
“The absolutely heroic defense of the Donbas continues,” he said late Tuesday in his nightly video address.
Zelenskyy said the Russians clearly did not expect to meet so much resistance and are now trying to bring in additional troops and equipment. He said the same was true in the Kherson region.
Speaking earlier to a Financial Times conference, Zelenskyy insisted on Ukraine’s need to defeat Russia on the battlefield but also said he is still open to peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
But a former senior U.S. intelligence officer said the time isn’t right.
“You’re not going to get to the negotiating table until neither side feels they have an advantage that they could push,” said Andrea Kendall-Taylor of the Washington-based Center for a New American Security.
The Russians “think they will be able to take the whole of the Donbas and then might use that as the opportunity to call for negotiations,” Kendall-Taylor said at an online seminar organized by Columbia and New York universities.
Shoigu, the Russian defense minister, said Moscow’s forces have seized the residential quarters of Sievierodonetsk and are fighting to take control of an industrial zone on the city’s outskirts and nearby towns.
Sievierodonetsk and nearby Lysychansk have seen heavy fighting in recent weeks. They are among a few cities and towns in the Luhansk region still holding out against the Russian invasion, which is being helped by local pro-Kremlin forces.
Shoigu added that Russian troops were pressing their offensive toward the town of Popasna and have taken control of Lyman and Sviatohirsk and 15 other towns in the region.
Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak urged his people not to be downhearted about the battlefield reverses.
“Don’t let the news that we’ve ceded something scare you,” he said in a video address. “It is clear that tactical maneuvers are ongoing. We cede something, we take something back.”
Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai conceded that Russian forces control the industrial outskirts of Sievierodonetsk.
“The toughest street battles continue, with varying degrees of success,” Haidai said. “The situation constantly changes, but the Ukrainians are repelling attacks.”
Moscow’s forces also kept up their artillery barrage of Lysychansk. Haidai said Russian troops shelled a market, a school and a college building, destroying the latter. At least three people were wounded, he said.
“A total destruction of the city is under way. Russian shelling has intensified significantly over the past 24 hours. Russians are using scorched-earth tactics,” Haidai said.
Meanwhile, the U.S. military has begun training Ukrainian forces on the sophisticated multiple rocket launchers that the Biden administration agreed last week to provide. The Pentagon said the training is going on at a base in Germany and elsewhere in Europe.
The High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, is mounted on a truck and can carry a container with six rockets, which can travel about 45 miles (70 kilometers). Officials said it would take about three weeks of training before they could go to the battlefront.
In other developments, Zelenskyy said Ukraine planned to publish a special “Book of Executioners” next week with information about war crimes committed by the Russian army.
“These are specific facts about specific people who are guilty of specific cruel crimes against Ukrainians,” he said. Those named would include not only people who carried out the crimes but their commanders, he said.
