SEATTLE (AP) — Jewell Loyd scored 26 points, Breanna Stewart had 19 points and seven rebounds, and the Seattle Storm beat the Atlanta Dream 72-60 on Tuesday night.
Seattle led by as many as 17 points, but Atlanta went on a 13-0 run to get within 64-60 with 3:52 remaining. Stewart, who picked up her fifth foul with 6:01 left, ended Seattle's drought with a 3-pointer from the corner at 3:38. Neither team scored for the next two minutes until Gabby Williams was left open under the basket, and Ezi Magbegor added a 3-pointer as the Storm closed on an 8-0 run.
Magbegor had 12 points, seven rebounds and five blocks for Seattle (6-5). Stewart missed her first six shots before finishing 5 of 15 from the field and 6 of 6 at the stripe.
Loyd scored 13 of Seattle’s opening 17 points and she also beat the third-quarter buzzer with a 3-pointer from the top of the key for a 60-47 lead.
Cheyenne Parker had 13 points and 10 rebounds for Atlanta (7-5). Rookie Kristy Wallace added 12 points before fouling out late and Rhyne Howard scored 11 on 5-of-17 shooting. Erica Wheeler appeared to injure her ankle in the first quarter and did not return after playing three minutes.
After a nine-year career with the Storm, Tanisha Wright returned to Seattle as a first-year coach for Atlanta.

F.P. Report
ISLAMABAD: The everyday coronavirus infections in Pakistan were steady at 64 with no death while in neighbouring India the Covid-19 cases took a big jump during the last 24 hours (Tuesday).
According to the latest statistics released by the National Institute of Health Pakistan on Wednesday morning, the death toll remained the same at 30,379, whereas the number of total infections now stood at 1,530,878 after adding the fresh 64 cases.
During the last 24 hours (Tuesday), 13,493 tests were conducted throughout Pakistan whereas the positivity ratio stood at 0.47 percent. The number of patients in critical care was recorded at 50.
During the last 24 hours (Tuesday), another 36 people recovered from the Covid-19 and the number of total recoveries now stood at 1,497,744. As of Wednesday, the total count of active cases in the country was recorded at 2,755.
As many as 577,728 coronavirus cases have so far been confirmed in Sindh, 507,360 in Punjab, 219,706 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 135,490 in Islamabad, 35,504 in Balochistan, 43,340 in Azad Kashmir and 11,750 in Gilgit-Baltistan.

Nearly 41% jump in daily Covid cases in India
India reported 5,233 new coronavirus cases on Wednesday, 41 percent more than a day ago, as infections soared sharply in some states.
Daily coronavirus infections in India crossed 5,000 after 93 days, taking the total tally of active cases to 28,857, according to the Indian Health Ministry.
The number of deaths climbed to 5,24,715 with seven fresh fatalities, government data stated. India has reported 4.31 crore Covid cases since the beginning of the pandemic.
The surge was led by Maharashtra, which recorded 1,881 new coronavirus cases last evening, a huge 81 percent jump and the highest since February 18.
The state also reported one case of B.A.5 variant, the state health department said. State capital Mumbai alone accounted for 1,242 new cases, almost double the Monday’s count.
US experts recommend Novavax Covid-19 vaccine
A panel of experts convened by the US drug regulator on Tuesday recommended the Novavax Covid-19 shot, a late runner in the fight against the virus that could nonetheless play a role in overcoming vaccine hesitancy.
Three vaccines are currently approved in the United States: Pfizer and Moderna, which are based on messenger RNA, and Johnson and Johnson, which recently received a recommendation against broad use becase of links to a serious form of clotting.
Experts voted 21 in favor of the Novavax vaccine, with none against, and one abstention, despite some concerns it may be linked to rare cases of heart inflammation.
The Food and Drug Administration, which called the meeting, is expected to issue an emergency use authorization soon. Then another agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will weigh in with guidance on how it should best be used.
Maryland-based Novavax was an early frontrunner in the global vaccine race, but fell behind after being hit by manufacturing and regulatory delays.
The US was one of the few major markets where it hasn’t yet received authorization, while the EU, UK, Canada, Australia are among many that have already given it the green light.
Officials hope that the shot, which is based on lab-grown viral proteins, could provide an alternative for people still hesitant of the mRNA technology. It also doesn’t have the same cold storage requirements as Pfizer and Moderna’s shots.
“There really is a population of patients who are willing to take this and not going to take existing vaccines. I think it’s pretty compelling,” said Eric Rubin, an infectious disease specialist who participated in the meeting, explaining his vote in favor.
Of the various vaccine technologies, mRNA has been subject to the most misinformation efforts.
– Possible myocarditis link –
Novavax’s vaccine was found to be more than 90 percent effective against symptomatic cases of the disease. But its trial was conducted long before the currently circulating sub variants of Omicron were dominant, and the company may yet have to add a booster or update its shot.
What’s more, six cases of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, were detected in the group that received the vaccine, against one case in the placebo group, in a trial of around 40,000 people.
Novavax says there is insufficient evidence to establish a causal relationship between the cases of myocarditis and the vaccine.
Such a link has been established with mRNA vaccines, but it only became apparent when they were used on millions of people in the real world, rather than tens of thousands in a trial.
The FDA voiced concern over the myocarditis link on Friday, and a warning is likely to be included on the eventual label. Earlier, trading in Novavax shares on Nasdaq was halted pending the meeting.
Known as a protein subunit vaccine, Novavax is administered in two doses.
It is based on a lab-created version of the spikes that dot the surface of the coronavirus to evoke an immune response.
The company uses a modified spike gene inserted into another kind of virus, called a baculovirus, which is used to infect moth cells, which then produce the spikes on their surface. These spikes are harvested and assembled into nanoparticles, which are injected into patients.
A compound of soapbark tree is added to the vaccine to heighten the response. | https://thefrontierpost.com/pakistan-coronavirus-infections-steady-indian-cases-jump-by-41/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=pakistan-coronavirus-infections-steady-indian-cases-jump-by-41 | 2022-06-08T13:36:17Z | https://thefrontierpost.com/pakistan-coronavirus-infections-steady-indian-cases-jump-by-41/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=pakistan-coronavirus-infections-steady-indian-cases-jump-by-41 | false | 1 |

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Connor Joe homered leading off the game, pinch-hitter Charlie Blackmon connected for a three-run shot and the Colorado Rockies beat the San Francisco Giants 5-3 on Tuesday night.
Germán Márquez shook off a shaky start and struck out seven in six innings for his first road win this season. Yonathan Daza and Randal Grichuk each had two hits to help the Rockies end a four-game losing streak.
Blackmon’s home run was the 200th of his career and it came on the 11th anniversary of his debut in the major leagues.
“It was serendipitous for Chuck but we’ve seen him do this before,” Rockies manager Bud Black said. “How ironic. That was a big swing for us. That was a really good swing. Gave us a huge lift.”
Wilmer Flores hit a two-run homer for the Giants. San Francisco has lost four of six.
Joe homered on the fifth pitch from Carlos Rodón but had to wait to circle the bases. Umpires initially ruled Joe’s hit a double and had him stop at second base before replay overturned the call.
The drive extended Joe’s on-base streak to 33 games, the second-longest active streak in the majors and the longest by a Rockies player since DJ LeMahieu’s 38-game run in 2016.
“When I was watching it, the way Joc (Pederson) went up for it, the way it came back into play so quickly, everything just added up where it was off the top of the wall,” Joe said. “We didn’t hear a sound or anything so I just thought it was a double off the top of the wall and I was pretty pumped about that.”
The Giants led 3-1 following Flores’ home run and Luis Gonzalez’s RBI single.
Colorado pulled to 3-2 in the third, had a runner thrown out at the plate in the fourth, then went ahead when Blackmon homered into McCovey Cove. It came after Jose Iglesias and Grichuk singled off Zack Littell (1-2).
“Charlie’s the leader of this team. We know when he’s not starting he’s going to find his way into the game at some point,” Joe said. “For him to come up in that situation is just Charlie Blackmon being Charlie.”
Márquez (2-5) labored through a 34-pitch first inning but recovered and kept the Giants in check for the next five. Márquez, who lost his first three starts away from home, walked four and allowed three runs and four hits.
“For the most part he kept the ball down,” Black said. “The pitch to Flores, he missed his spot. It was in and a little bit down and Flores went down and dug it out and hit the homer.”
Tyler Kinley and Alex Colomé each retired three batters. Daniel Bard pitched the ninth for his 12th save.
Rodón allowed four hits and two runs but left after throwing 98 pitches in four innings. The left-hander struck out five and walked one.
NEW ADDITION
Rockies third baseman Elehuris Montero went 0 for 4 after being recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque before the game.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Giants: SS Brandon Crawford left in the fifth inning because of right quad tightness. … RHP Alex Cobb was placed on the 15-day injured list with a neck strain. OF/1B Darin Ruf returned from the bereavement list. … LHP Sam Long was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento and INF Jason Vosler was optioned down.
UP NEXT
Rockies RHP Antonio Senzatela (2-3, 5.40 ERA) faces the Giants for the first time since leaving his start against them on May 16 after two innings with a lower back strain. San Francisco LHP Alex Wood (3-5, 4.66) has lost his last three starts, allowing 10 earned runs over 14 innings during that span.

Amazing pet husky learns how to cook meal for owner - and he can even help wash up
A HUSKY has learnt how to cook rice for his owner and can even help with the washing up.
China: Husky turns on cooker while homeowner is away
Pet pooch Lucky went viral in China after a video was posted on social media showing him at work in the kitchen. Owner Zhou from Zhejiang province used a home surveillance system to give his dog commands remotely.
Zhou had washed the grains and placed them in an electric rice cooker before heading to the shops to buy groceries.
He explained that his shopping trip took longer than expected because he decided to go for a COVID-19 test so he tasked Lucky with starting the dinner, Qianjiang Evening News reported.
Zhou can be heard asking his six-year-old hound in the video: "Lucky, it will take me a long time to queue up for the nucleic acid test.
"Can you press the power switch for the electric cooker on?"
Footage shows Lucky lying down, but on hearing his master's request he gets up and uses his front paws to press the on switch where the rice cooker is plugged in.
Zhou then asks Lucky to go to the rice cooker and press its on switch as well to get the rice steaming.
But the dog struggles on the first command so Zhou repeats his order.
He says the instructions a few times, but Lucky eventually understands and turns the appliance on.

Zhou can be heard saying: "Press that button... You didn’t press it correctly. Try again and press it harder."
Soon after, Lucky manages to turn on the rice cooker.
His proud owner then says: "How fabulous! I will prepare delicious food for you when I return home."
According to Zhou, Lucky can perform a number of household chores, including flushing the loo as well as turning off lights and taps.

Zhou said Lucky is a fast learner and was able to learn how to fasten a car seat belt in minutes.
The video of Lucky's culinary exploit was uploaded to Chinese app Douyin and has since received in excess of 134,000 likes, 40,000 comments and 110,000 shares.
Zhou said: "You can see this video is just one minute long. But, to make it I had to spend plenty of time beforehand training the dog so that he could achieve this result."
A full-time video blogger of pet clips, Zhou said he and Lucky share a tacit understanding.
He said: "[Lucky] will understand what I mean through the expression in my eyes or just from a simple hand gesture.
"But Lucky only listens to my orders. He seems unable to understand what my wife says." | https://www.express.co.uk/news/nature/1622551/dog-news-lucky-the-husky-cooks-meal-china-latest | 2022-06-08T13:40:26Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/nature/1622551/dog-news-lucky-the-husky-cooks-meal-china-latest | true | 1 |
(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.)
Matt Harris, Park University
(THE CONVERSATION) As they head to the polls to cast a ballot in primaries, voters may find themselves staring at a long list of candidates. In most cases, these primaries are winner-take-all. Whoever gets the most votes will represent their party in November.
There were seven candidates on the GOP primary ballot in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District on June 7, 2022. Thomas Kean Jr. had 45.4% of the vote when he was declared the winner. In Montana, five candidates competed in the June 7 GOP primary in the 1st Congressional District. With 37% of the ballots counted late election night, Ryan Zinke led the race with 43% of votes.
There was a difference this year from primaries just a decade ago: Data from the Center for Election Science, a nonpartisan nonprofit focused on voting reform, indicates that in contested primaries, the number of candidates has been rising since 2010. That growth has important implications about the quality of the candidates and the views they represent.
Each additional candidate who gets votes lowers the number of votes needed to secure a nomination. The outcomes of primaries with many candidates are unpredictable and may result in extreme, inexperienced or controversial nominees who may not truly represent a majority of voters. And a fringe candidate winning the primary and advancing to the general election can mean a risky candidate for their party.
Flooded field
The average contested primary for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives grew from 5.2 candidates in 2010 to 7.3 candidates in 2020. This flooding of the field can be attributed to several factors, including the role of technology: Getting on the ballot is relatively easy, and candidates can promote themselves and solicit funds via social media.
As a political scientist in Missouri, I’ve been closely following this crowding of the field in our U.S. Senate race. Here, the GOP is reckoning with the presence of disgraced former governor Eric Greitens in a packed primary field of 21 candidates.
The crowding of fields is not limited to congressional candidates. The GOP presidential primary in 2016 featured 17 candidates, while the Democrats fielded 28 presidential candidates in 2020.
While the field began to clear for Joe Biden following February 2020’s South Carolina primary, eight months before the general election, Donald Trump won primaries well into March 2016 while hovering around 40% of the vote.
These crowded fields don’t always lead to the kind of results that prompt fear among party leaders of a general election disaster. For example, scandal-plagued Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina, who failed to get the support of mainstream Republicans in the primary race, was ousted after losing to a candidate who won 33.4% of the vote in an eight-person field.
Competitive versus safe seats
Being an ideologically extreme candidate can be an advantage in partisan primaries. Although there is some dispute in political science as to how representative party primary voters are of their parties, there is no debating that they are ideologically polarized subsets of the general electorate.
Candidate crowding in partisan primaries is more likely to happen in seats where the primary is the only true contest in the election. In these districts, it is a virtual certainty that one party’s nominee will win the general if they can survive the primary. Victorious primary candidates can often walk to a general election victory after winning a third or less of the primary vote.
This happened in Michigan’s 13th Congressional District in 2018.
Incumbent Rep. John Conyers had resigned. A primary election was being held for a Democrat to seek to finish out his term. At the same time, the Democratic candidate to run for a full term in Congress was also being elected.
Both races included Democrats Rashida Tlaib and Brenda Jones, among other candidates. Moderate Jones won the four-way race to compete for the remainder of Conyers’ term. Tlaib, currently a member of the left-wing “Squad,” won the six-way race to become the nominee for the full term. The presence of two additional candidates who were not close to winning had seemingly flipped the results.
National political party organizations may try to steer voters and clear the primary field in competitive districts, but candidates are often left to their own devices in safe seats. National and state parties would prefer to focus on competitive races than ones in which their side will likely win regardless of the nominee.
Where ideological extremists run in competitive districts and win the primary, it can present a different problem. The extremist’s party can be damaged by their candidacy with a lower vote share in the general election.
‘Extreme, inexperienced or controversial’
Several primaries in recent memory have followed the pattern of elevating extreme, inexperienced or controversial primary candidates into party nominees.
In the special election Democratic primary for Florida’s safely Democratic 20th congressional district in November 2021, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick won by just five votes. Cherfilus-McCormick, who had never held elected office before, won 23.8% of the vote in a field with 10 other candidates after spending millions of her own money on the campaign. She won the general election.
This year, in the GOP House primary in Ohio’s 9th congressional district, J.R. Majewski won with 35.8% of the vote. Majewski, a proponent of the QAnon conspiracy theory who has never held political office, defeated two state legislators in the primary.
In the GOP House primary in North Carolina’s 1st congressional district, election conspiracy theorist Sandy Smith won the primary with 31.4% of the vote, defeating seven other candidates. One of her GOP competitors dug up allegations of abuse against Smith by multiple ex-husbands and her daughter. She has denied them.
In perhaps the most extreme example of a crowded primary field, the nonpartisan special primary election to replace Rep. Don Young in Alaska asks voters to wade through 48 candidates, ranging from Sarah Palin to Santa Claus. Yes, Santa Claus. While ranked-choice voting in the general election might lead to a consensus choice, the wide-open primary has led to questions from voters about how to ensure they’ll have one of their top choices make it to that stage.
‘Nothing approaching a majority’
While the quality of a candidate is in the eye of the beholder to some extent, the pattern here is political newcomers, often with strong ideological views, winning their parties’ nominations with nothing approaching a majority.
On one hand, contested primaries can be symbolic of a vibrant democracy. They can indicate that candidates want to get involved and are able to do so. They offer multiple perspectives for voters.
On the other hand, these crowded fields can make choosing more difficult for voters. They have to make decisions with little knowledge of how other like-minded voters will vote. Strategic support for a specific candidate can be hard to coordinate.
With votes split among multiple candidates, a candidate may win with a small plurality while being disliked by, or disconnected from, the larger primary electorate.
Runoff elections that exist in many Southern primaries and ranked-choice voting in Maine can help in requiring candidates to meet a certain threshold of support. In the majority of states, however, 2022 will provide, I believe, countless examples in which primaries are akin to what political scientist Henry E. Brady described as “poorly designed lotteries.” With lots of candidates on the ballot, the winners of those lotteries may not be the voters.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament made a vibrant plea Wednesday for his country to be named a candidate for European Union membership, a move that would bring the war-torn nation closer to the EU without guaranteeing its admittance.
Ruslan Stefanchuk, chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, told EU lawmakers that failing to give Ukraine a sign of an open door would be a clear signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin that “he can be totally going forward without any punishment."
European heads of state and government are expected to consider Ukraine's bid for EU candidate status at the end of June. The European Parliament already passed a resolution in favor of making Ukraine a membership candidate.
“Let’s do everything possible that on the 24th of June we’ll see a watershed day, an important day for us, and our joint great victory,” Stefanchuk said.
The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, is expected to deliver its opinion next week based on Ukraine's answers to a questionnaire. received in April and early May.
Ukraine currently has has an association agreement with the EU, which is aimed at opening Ukraine’s markets and bringing it closer to Europe. It includes a far-reaching free trade pact.
Roberta Mestola, the president of the EU legislature, said lawmakers will continue supporting Ukraine's effort to obtain candidate status. Metsola said reaching the step in the accession process would benefit Ukraine by furthering its integration into the region.
The 27 EU nations have been united in backing Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s invasion, adopting unprecedented economic sanctions against Moscow since the start of the war in February.
However, leaders are divided on how quickly the EU should move to accept Ukraine as a member. Admitting a new member country requires unanimous agreement from the EU's current members.
Before Russia's war in Ukraine, the European Commission repeatedly expressed concern in recent years about corruption in Ukraine and the need for deep political and economic reforms.
The French government has made clear it thinks it’s unrealistic to expect Ukraine to join the EU any time soon, saying the process would take many years, “in fact probably several decades.”
The Ukrainian bid has received warm support in Eastern European countries, but EU officials have stressed the process could take years,
Speaking in Strasbourg on Wednesday, Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin backed Ukraine’s application and said he hoped EU leaders would “send the people of Ukraine a clear and positive message.”
Martin is among the EU leaders meeting at an June 23-24 summit.
But Martin says the EU “should support those looking to join in undertaking the reforms and preparations necessary.” He says Ireland’s experience is that EU “membership is transformative."

Phil Mickelson stressed he does not condone human rights violations ahead of the first Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series event at Centurion Club.
Phil Mickelson stressed he does not condone human rights violations ahead of the first Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series event at Centurion Club.
Mickelson described the Saudis as “scary m************” and said he was well aware of Saudi Arabia’s “horrible record on human rights” – including the murder of Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi – in an interview with the author of a new unauthorised biography.
Yet he added that working with the Saudis was a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates”, also accusing the Tour of “obnoxious greed”.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Mickelson said: “I don’t condone human rights violations at all. I’m certainly aware of what has happened with Jamal Khashoggi and I think it’s terrible.
“I have also seen the good that the game of golf has done throughout history and I believe LIV Golf is going to do a lot of good for the game as well.”
While a number of players have resigned from the PGA Tour in order to compete in the LIV Golf events, Mickelson said he had no intention of following suit.
“I earned my lifetime membership and I don’t want to give that up, I don’t believe I should have to,” the six-time major winner added.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I have earned that (lifetime membership) and I don’t plan on just giving that up.”
Mickelson refused to confirm or deny if he had been suspended, or currently was, from the PGA Tour.
“I choose not to speak publicly on PGA Tour issues at this time,” he said.
He also declined to confirm if he is receiving USD 200million to compete in the LIV Golf events, but his answer indicated that the reported amount may well be accurate.
“I feel that contract agreements should be private,” Mickelson added. “Doesn’t seem to be the case, but it should be.”

For the next half-hour or so my life would take a turn, though not the turn I had expected. I was waiting in traffic at the intersection of Veterans Boulevard and Carrolton Street in Metairie for the left-turn signal. This is a turn I make practically every day, but it was not going to be so easy this day. The turn arrow came on but the car in front of me did not move. I gave it a few seconds and then honked. By this time the drivers behind me had gotten impatient and there was a chorus of honkers. I looked around to see in someone had left the vehicle but saw no one. Then the light changed its cycle back to red. I realized that once the arrow came back, I might have to work myself around the car. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2624748975907/scattered-showers-and-storms-again-this-evening | 2022-06-08T13:46:07Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2624748975907/scattered-showers-and-storms-again-this-evening | true | null |

State of Origin 2022: Queensland give coach Billy Slater the perfect start with 16-10 win over NSW
Maroons legend Billy Slater may not have won his opening Origin game as a player, but his Queensland side have ensured he has began his coaching career on a winning note.
A staunch defensive effort gave Queensland a 16-10 victory as a fervent sell-out crowd of 80,512 at Accor Stadium was silennced by the noisy neighbours from up north.
On a cold, blustery night in Sydney, Queensland weathered an opening half storm to hold off a late Blues surge to claim game one of the 2022 State of Origin Series.
The game came down to the final play, as Isaah Yeo was brought down just metres from the line and the visitors hung on to claim a thrilling victory.
The Blues entered the game as defending champions and got the perfect start when Jack Wighton powered through a pair of attempted tackles on the left edge to cross for the game’s opening score.
Patrick Carrigan almost made his Origin debut even more memorable when the Queenslander muscled his way over the try-line, but some frantic pack defence prevented him from touching the ball down.
While the game was marked by tenacious defence, it burst into life late in the opening period as the racious crowd was kept on tenterhooks in the shadows of half-time.
New South Wales thought they had doubled their lead when Daniel Tupou reeled in a high ball deep in enemy territory and fed captain James Tedesco to cross, but the pass was deemed to be forward.
It proved pivotal moments later, when Selwyn Cobbo found space on the right wing and smartly grubbered a kick for Dane Gagai to chase down and score for Queensland.
Junior Paulo thought he had re-taken the lead for New South Wales when he crashed over from close range, but senior review officer Grant Atkins intervened, ruling Cameron Murray had obstructed the defence in the lead-up.
New South Wales’ previously-stout defence turned to water in the second half, as Melbourne star Cam Munster stormed in behind enemy lines and from the resulting phases, Maroons captain Daly Cherry-Evans skipped across the line untouched to score under the posts.
Then, Kalyn Ponga picked out Holmes five metres out and the centre danced across the line, although his missed conversion left the door ajar slightly for a comeback.
The hosts kept knocking on the door and despite some resolute defence keeping them at bay, Murray reduced the deficit with a concerted try with eight minutes to play, before Yeo fell agonisingly short of a last-gasp try.
New South Wales 10 (Tries: Wighton, Murray. Conversion: Cleary 1-2)
Queensland 16 (Tries: Gagao, Cherry-Evans, Holmes. Conversions: Holmes 2-3)
Referees: Ashley Klein, Phil Henderson, Dave Munro, Grant Atkins
Crowd: 80,512 at Accor Stadium

Adityapur (Jharkhand), Jun 8 (PTI) Three persons have been shot dead in the industrial town of Adityapur in Jharkhand's Seraikela-Kharswan district, with the police suspecting it to be a case of gang rivalry, a senior officer said on Wednesday.
One of the deceased, Ashish Gorai (28), had a criminal record. He was jailed in the past in connection with the murder of a local Congress leader, Superintendent of Police Anand Prakash said.

"We are looking into the matter, trying to identify the killers. Preliminary investigation suggests that the incident was the fallout of a gang rivalry," the SP stated.
Ashish was partying with his friends -- Rajiv Gorai and Subir Chatterjee -- in Adityapur police station area, when two persons arrived in a four-wheeler and fired indiscriminately upon them on Tuesday night, according to locals and his family members.

A good pastry goes a long way, but a bad one can certainly leave a sour taste in your mouth. It's got to have that perfect level of flakiness without falling apart, while also maintaining that beautiful buttery flavour.
A pain au chocolat along with a croissant are two of the most popular go-to's when it comes to choosing a pastry to accompany your morning coffee or tea. But here at MyLondon we heard there's one place in the corner of East London that sells the best almond croissant in the whole city.
Not much is different (or so I thought) from a regular croissant apart from the almonds that layer the top and the sprinkles of sugar that adorn the croissant. I've never felt the need to try an almond croissant in the past as I thought it was another hipster invention that would be overpriced and have too much going on taste-wise, to actually even enjoy it.

As I left St James Street station in Walthamstow, I looked opposite and saw a delightful looking cafe daring me to walk in. Looking at the windows, the words ' Eat, Drink, Shop' piqued my interest.
The aptly named St J's is raved about online, with reviewers hailing the great coffee and snacks on offer. As well as incredible bread (which you can smell as soon as you walk over the threshold), the almond croissant has a lot of interest.
It's also not just a cafe - there is a full-on shop within it. Items such as prints and paintings to cushions as well as ceramics and candles. There was a lot more than a cafe inside these four walls.
Fresh sourdough bread is also on sale as well as baby clothes and locally produced beverages. There's such a range of products in here that you wouldn't expect whatsoever as you walk in.
Once I settled myself and remembered what I came for, I stepped up to the counter and ordered. Sadly, there weren't any almond croissants by the time I got here but there were vegan ones.
I imagined the difference would have been minimal so I hastily said I'd take it as it was the last one. I was determined to make sure this trip wouldn't be wasted. To wash it down I went with an oat hot chocolate and a jam doughnut for the journey home.
As I sat down at the table and admired the croissant, I was impressed. The almond flakes on top sat beautifully, the golden crisp of the croissant glistened in the light and the almond filling hiding inside was a great surprise.
As I bit into the flaky goodness I had to stop myself from drooling. 'This is what a croissant should be', I found myself repeating in my head. There was a burst of flavour in my mouth and I was experiencing something I never got with a pain au chocolat.
I'm usually never full after eating one croissant and it's a short-term relief from the hunger I am experiencing. This was different. Once I had finished I was sat actually feeling content and didn't feel like my belly would be rumbling anytime soon.
Sitting down and watching locals come in and out was also a welcome touch. It looked like everyone enjoyed coming here and there was a range of different people coming through the door I had walked through 20-minutes earlier. People would be coming in for their coffee, picking up a print or in some cases picking up a bottle of wine at 11am in the morning. No judgement from me here.
St J's opened in 2019 and stocks local produce, helping to showcase the talent that lies within the Walthamstow community. The local aspect was clear as people of all ages walked in and ordered with a smile on their faces. The vibe within the store is chilled, people sat at tables working away, parents with their babies or those catching up with friends.
St J's has become a destination for locals but is certainly worth the journey if coming from further out. This was the first almond croissant I've ever tried and it made a believer out of me. London doesn't lack bakeries whatsoever so there is competition everywhere but St J's certainly holds its own. | https://www.mylondon.news/whats-on/reviews/i-went-walthamstow-cafe-best-24174365 | 2022-06-08T13:53:52Z | https://www.mylondon.news/whats-on/reviews/i-went-walthamstow-cafe-best-24174365 | false | 1 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen acknowledged Tuesday that she and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell “could have used a better word” than “transitory” when describing the expected run of inflation in the U.S. economy. She added that she was hopeful it would soon be on the decline.
“I do expect inflation to remain high although I very much hope that it will be coming down now,” Yellen told the Senate Finance Committee during a hearing on the agency’s latest budget request. “I think that bringing inflation down should be our number one priority."
The Federal Reserve and Treasury Department have been increasingly blamed by legislators and the public for allowing inflation to reach record highs — notably an 8.3% leap in consumer prices over the past year.
She told CNN last week that she did not fully understand the impact that unanticipated large shocks and supply bottlenecks would have on the economy.
“Look, I think I was wrong then about the path that inflation would take,” she said.
The hearing was an opportunity for lawmakers to press Yellen on the causes for inflation, when it may decline and the administration's plans to reduce the pain on Americans.
“We now are entering a period of transition from one of historic recovery to one that can be marked by stable and steady growth,” she said. “Making this shift is a central piece of the president’s plan to get inflation under control without sacrificing the economic gains we’ve made.”
As for earlier pronouncements by Yellen and Powell that the U.S. inflation problem was transitory, Yellen allowed, “Both of us could have used a better word than transitory. There’s no question that we have huge inflation pressures. Inflation is really our top economic problem at this point.”
Inflation has shown signs of moderating but is likely to remain far above the Fed’s 2% target through the end of this year.
The Congressional Budget Office released an economic outlook this month saying high inflation will persist into next year, likely causing the federal government to pay higher interest rates on its debt.
The nonpartisan agency expects the consumer price index to rise 6.1% this year and 3.1% in 2023. This forecast suggests that inflation will slow from current annual levels of 8.3%, yet it would still be dramatically above a long-term baseline of 2.3%.
Yellen was asked about her support of last year's American Rescue Plan relief package, also known as ARP, which has come under fire by some economists who claim the $1.9 trillion program has worsened price spikes.
Because inflation is high globally, Yellen said, it “can’t be the case” that ARP is largely to blame for the bulk of U.S. inflation.
Over the weekend, Yellen was forced to defend her support of ARP after Bloomberg wrote about an excerpt from an upcoming biography on the secretary that said she privately agreed with former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers “that too much government money was flowing into the economy too quickly which is why she had sought without success to scale back the $1.9 trillion relief plan by a third early in 2021 before Congress passed the enormous program.”
Yellen said in a statement on Saturday that “I never urged adoption of a smaller American Rescue Plan package, and I believe that ARP played a central role in driving strong growth throughout 2021 and afterwards, with the United States real GDP growth outpacing other advanced economies and our labor market recovering faster relative to historical experience.”
Yellen said during the hearing that Congress also should have a role in bringing down prices through enacting legislation that increases taxes on high-wealth individuals — and by passing language for a global tax deal that has stalled in Congress, previously included in the now-dead Build Back Better plan.
The global tax deal is designed to subject large multinational firms to a 15% tax rate wherever they operate. It also would provide for taxing part of the profits of the largest global companies in countries where they do business online but may have no physical presence.
“As prospects of recession and stagflation rise, this is no time to consider raising taxes or resurrecting reckless spending from the House-passed Build Back Better plan,” Republican Sen. Mike Crapo said. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Yellen-inflation-to-remain-high-hopes-it-s-17225305.php | 2022-06-08T13:55:34Z | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Yellen-inflation-to-remain-high-hopes-it-s-17225305.php | true | 23 |

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The starting pitching has been so dominant for the New York Yankees this year, it has almost overshadowed another potent offense that leads the major leagues in home runs.
With Aaron Judge, Anthony Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton in the heart of the order, well, there's just no hiding this familiarly loaded lineup.
Rizzo hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning to crack open a close game for the Yankees, who brushed off a rare rough start by Jameson Taillon to beat the Minnesota Twins 10-4 on Tuesday night for their seventh straight victory.
“We can win in a lot of different ways, and tonight was just another one of those examples,” said Taillon, who gave up season highs in hits (nine) and runs (four).
Judge and Stanton got the visitors going with first-inning homers, the 23rd time they've gone deep in the same game in five seasons together. The Yankees have only lost once when that happens, in the Field of Dreams game in Iowa last Aug. 12.
“Nobody has to feel like they've got to do everything," said Judge, who leads the majors with 22 home runs. “Hey, if we don’t get a hit or get the job done that time, I know the guy behind me is going to pick it up.”
The Yankees (40-15) lead the majors with the best 55-game record in baseball since Seattle in 2001. That's actually a lower winning percentage than the astounding 110-38 record the Yankees have built, including the playoffs, against the Twins since 2002. They are 32-12 all-time at Target Field, which the Twins opened in 2010.
Taillon, who took a perfect game through seven innings in his last start, was pulled with no outs in the fifth. Jorge Polanco went 4 for 4 with two RBIs, including a homer off Taillon that was the first allowed by a Yankees pitcher in six games. Lucas Luetge (2-2) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings for the awarded victory in relief.
MOUND OF TROUBLE
The Yankees pounded Twins rookie Cole Sands (0-2), a rotation fill-in with seven starting pitchers currently out with either injuries or COVID-19, for eight of their 14 hits over the right-hander's 3 2/3 innings. Every starter had at least one, including three by leadoff man DJ LeMahieu. He also walked twice, once with the bases loaded to force in a run in the fifth.
LeMahieu singled on the first pitch of the game. Judge followed by crushing a 2-2 fastball into the wall of junipers that serves as the batter's eye behind center field, and he drove in a run with a single in the fourth to raise his team-leading RBI total to 43. That's second in the American League behind Cleveland's José Ramírez.
Rizzo hit his 14th homer of the season off Tyler Duffey. Manager Rocco Baldelli was ejected for arguing with home plate umpire Alex Tosi in the seventh, a fitting end to a frustrating night.
“Lately it’s just not happening. Stuff feels great. When it’s on, it’s on. But it’s frustrating, obviously,” said Duffey, who has allowed 11 runs and three homers in his last seven innings.
UH-OH
The Yankees have thrived despite rough stretches at the plate by outfielders Aaron Hicks and Joey Gallo, who went a combined 4 for 7 with three runs, three walks and an RBI.
“They’re capable of big things,” Boone said. “They’re giving us some balance in our lineup, some athleticism obviously, so it's good to see them have those kind of at-bats.”
SWITCHING SIDES
Josh Donaldson had a single, a walk and one of a season-high three errors by the Yankees, getting a mild round of boos each time his name was announced.
The Twins dealt Donaldson and the $50 million and two years remaining on his contract with shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who'd been acquired in a separate trade with Texas the day before, to the Yankees on March 13 for slugging catcher Gary Sánchez and third baseman Gio Urshela.
Donaldson signed with the Twins for $92 million over four years on Jan. 14, 2020, but he was dogged again by leg muscle injuries and ultimately wasn't a fit in the clubhouse with his brash presence and outspoken personality.
“They’re in a good position now, and I’m in a good position here with the New York Yankees,” Donaldson said. “Hindsight is 20/20.”
Sánchez has done well for himself with the fresh start following a couple of rough seasons.
“Everybody’s been very welcoming to me,” he said.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Yankees: Stanton was the DH again, his second start since returning from a nine-game absence because of right ankle inflammation. He last played RF on May 22.
Twins: 1B Luis Arraez left the game with right shoulder tightness. ... OF Kyle Garlick went on the 10-day IL with a strained left hamstring, retroactive to Saturday. He's one of 16 players currently inactive due to injury or COVID-19, and 10 of them have been sidelined in just the last three weeks. This is Garlick's second IL stint. He missed 13 games with a strained right calf last month.
UP NEXT
Yankees: LHP Nortes Cortes (5-1, 1.50 ERA) takes the mound on Wednesday night. Cortes threw seven scoreless innings in his last start and has allowed two or fewer runs in all but one outing.
Twins: RHP Chris Archer (0-2, 3.89 ERA) pitches the middle game of the series, coming off a season-long five-inning turn. Archer has a 3.08 ERA in 19 career starts against the Yankees.

Islamabad, Jun 8 (PTI) In a bid to conserve energy, the cash-strapped Pakistan government has decided to ban wedding functions in Islamabad city after 10 pm, according to media reports on Wednesday.
Pakistan, which is facing a worsening power crisis, has taken various steps to bring down the consumption of electricity to reduce load shedding, will now ban wedding functions after 10 pm in Islamabad with effect from June 8, Geo News reported.

The current power crisis in the country, which has also affected Pakistan's economy, has forced the federal cabinet to restore the Saturday holiday in government offices to curb the use of energy and gradually bring down electricity load shedding to two hours a day by the end of June.
The Daily Times newspaper quoting sources, reported that the restriction on wedding functions in the country's capital is being implemented on the instructions of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
Also Read | Nupur Sharma Remarks on Prophet Muhammad: Al-Qaeda Warns India of Attacks in Delhi, Mumbai, UP & Gujarat.
The Islamabad Police and city administration have been directed to strictly implement the ban, the sources said.
The sources said that in case of violation, strict action will be taken by Islamabad administration.
Geo News also reported that only one dish will be allowed at the wedding functions in the capital.
A notification to this effect will be issued soon, it said.
With the economy in tatters and political instability looming large due to protests by former prime minister Imran Khan, there is increasing threat of Pakistan going the Sri Lankan way if quick measures are not taken.
Prime Minister Sharif said on Tuesday that Pakistan did not have enough money to buy oil and gas, ARY News reported.
Long queues were witnessed outside fuelling stations in Karachi, Rawalpindi and Islamabad as panic stricken citizens, following Finance Minister Miftah Ismail's remarks about a possible hike, queued up at petrol pumps while several filling stations shut down, forcing the finance minister to issue a clarification saying the government was not planning to further increase fuel prices.
While addressing a day-long pre-budget business conference in Islamabad on Tuesday, Sharif said there could be no economic stability without political stability in the country, adding that there was the need for a “Charter of Economy”, which would lead to long-term stability.
Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves are under severe stress and declined by USD 190 million to USD 10.308 billion during the week ended on May 6, according to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).
Pakistan is looking towards the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to restore a USD 6 billion package agreed in 2019. So far half of the promised money had been given. Pakistan would immediately get a USD 1 billion loan tranche from the IMF once the two sides sort out their differences, according to media reports.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Swapping out their manager didn’t change the Los Angeles Angels’ fortunes Tuesday night.
The Halos matched a franchise record with their 13th straight defeat hours after firing manager Joe Maddon, falling 6-5 to the streaking Boston Red Sox on Christian Vázquez’s go-ahead single in the 10th inning.
Interim boss Phil Nevin lost his managerial debut and Angels star Mike Trout exited with left groin tightness as Los Angeles tied the franchise mark for its longest skid set from 1988-89. The Angels dropped the final 12 games on the 1988 schedule — their worst stretch in a single season before this one — and then their 1989 opener.
“I’m not worried about morale at all,” Nevin said. “You saw the effort from everyone. We had good at-bats. I thought there was a lot of great things. It was just a game where we ended up on the wrong side.”
Boston won its sixth straight with a 15-hit effort, including two from Vázquez. Bobby Dalbec had two RBIs.
Trout homered in the first inning and gingerly ran out a double in the third before leaving with the groin issue. He said he felt a little sore but isn’t overly alarmed. There was no scan or MRI done after Trout left the game.
“Coming out of the box, I didn’t feel it and then I felt like a little cramp. Then I got to second base and a little achy and tried to be smart about it. I’ll see how I feel tomorrow,” Trout said. “At least it isn’t nothing crazy.”
With Trevor Story as the automatic runner in the 10th, Vázquez had a one-out base hit through the hole at second base off Jaime Barria (1-1) to drive in the go-ahead run.
“That was a big hole at second base,” Vázquez said “I love those clutch situations. Somebody needs to do it so why not me?”
Jo Adell had an RBI double and scored a tiebreaking run, but Los Angeles blew a lead in the seventh inning or later for the sixth time during this skid.
After Dalbec’s RBI single cut Boston’s deficit to 5-4 in the sixth, Rafael Devers scored the tying run in the seventh when a grounder up the middle by Story deflected off pitcher Ryan Tepera’s glove.
Tanner Houck (4-3) got the win and Matt Strahm retired the side in the bottom of the 10th for his second save.
Strahm retired Kurt Suzuki to end the game on a grounder to shortstop Enrique Hernandez, who began in center field and slid to short after Xander Bogaerts was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the ninth due to left shoulder tightness.
Boston’s bullpen allowed only one run on two hits and struck out nine in six innings.
“The bullpen did an amazing job. We went to them quick,” manager Alex Cora said. “It was a weird game because we put pressure on them the whole game and we were kind of coming up empty. Christian had a great at-bat in the end.”
Nevin, who played 12 major league seasons for six teams, including the Angels in 1998, returned to the franchise this season as third-base coach after four seasons in the same capacity with the New York Yankees.
Angels GM Perry Minasian said Nevin will be the manager for the rest of the season. This is the first time Nevin has managed in the majors. He has seven years of managerial experience in the minors.
Shohei Ohtani got aboard in the first with a double off the wall in left-center. Trout — who came into the game with one hit in his last 29 at-bats — then drove Garrett Whitlock’s sinker over the wall in center field for his 14th home run of the season and a 2-0 advantage.
Boston took the lead with three runs in the second. The Red Sox had four hits and a walk in the frame, including RBI base hits from Dalbec and Enrique Hernandez.
The Angels tied it in the home half of the frame when Juan Lagares scored after first baseman Dalbec booted a slow ground ball hit by Andrew Velazquez. Los Angeles grabbed a 4-3 advantage in the third on Max Stassi’s RBI ground-rule double down the right-field line and extended it in the fifth when Adell drove in Luis Rengifo with a double.
Both teams had runners in scoring position in the ninth inning, but were unable to score.
FOR STARTERS
Whitlock went four innings and allowed four runs on six hits with five strikeouts. It was the first time in seven games a Boston starter has given up two or more runs.
José Suarez made his first start since April 30 and went a season-high five innings. The lefty allowed three runs and seven hits with two walks and three strikeouts.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Red Sox: Chris Sale (right rib stress fracture) did not throw his scheduled bullpen due to a stomach bug. The lefty was originally slated to throw to hitters on Friday before the illness.
Angels: RHP Chase Silseth, who went 1-2 in four starts, was optioned to Double-A Rocket City to make way for Suarez.
UP NEXT
Red Sox: RHP Nathan Eovaldi (3-2, 3.41 ERA) is 2-2 with a 5.02 ERA in 10 career games against the Angels.
Angels: LHP Reid Detmers (2-2, 4.20 ERA) has allowed four home runs and has a 0-1 record in three starts since throwing a no-hitter on May 10 against Tampa Bay.

ST. PAUL, Minn., June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly MN (LBFEMN) has officially changed its name to Friends & Co™. The change will not affect the organization's mission and programs, including the flagship program Visiting Companions, as well as the new phone-based programs – Phone Companions and Coffee Talk.
"The new Friends & Co name, logo, and colors are more welcoming and inclusive for older adults, donors, volunteers, and community partners," said James Falvey, Friends & Co's executive director. "It expresses the essence of who we are: connection, companionship, and community. It provides an ideal springboard for expanding our services and reaching more older adults in more places than ever before."
The change to Friends & Co is a result of a year-long process that involved participation from older adult members, volunteers, donors, partners, as well as our staff and board of directors. More than 30 key stakeholder interviews were conducted to determine what people liked about LBFEMN, its mission, name, and what they found problematic.
"Change has always been a part of our organization as we have grown and adapted over the years to better serve older adults," Falvey said. "This name change is really a continuation of that ongoing change that first started when we opened our doors in Minnesota 50 years ago."
After reviewing more than 1,000 name options, Friends & Co was the clear winner and paid homage to the organization's past while allowing it to build for the future. With the tagline "meaningful connections for older adults," the new name and visual identity will enable the organization to more effectively market its services via this vibrant and eye-catching logo and color scheme.

Martin Lewis has said low-income workers on benefits could get a 50% return on their earnings with a special savings account.
The Money Saving Expert founder explained on Twitter how people claiming Universal Credit or Working Tax Credit could get a bonus of up to £1,200 on their savings with a Help to Save account.
What is a Help to Save bank account?
Help to Save is a type of savings account open to low-income workers claiming Universal Credit or Working Tax Credit.
Through the account the government offers a bonus of 50p for every £1 you save, meaning you get a 50% return on your money. This account lasts for four years with a maximum of £50 being paid in each month.
If you save the maximum amount each month for the four years you have the account, you could end up with a bonus of £1,200.
Even if you save less, you can still get a bonus. For example, if you save £25 a month over two years, you would still get £600 back.
In a tweet, Martin wrote: “Are you, or someone you know on Universal Credits or other benefits? Do look at Help To Save.
“You can put up to £50/mth in, then after 2yrs get a 50% bonus on the most you had in there (even if you’ve taken it all out). Unbeatable!”
How to open a Help to Save account
A Help to Save account can be opened through the Gov.uk website or by calling 0300 322 7093.You could be eligible for a Help to Save account if you live in the UK and:
- Receive Working Tax Credit- Are entitled to Working Tax Credit and receive Child Tax Credit- Claim Universal Credit and you (with your partner if it’s a joint claim) earned £604.56 or more from paid work in your last monthly assessment period
To get double the money in one household, you and your partner each open a separate account, but you will both need to apply individually. However, your benefits could be potentially affected depending on how much money you already have saved elsewhere.
You and your partner must have less than £6,000 in personal savings to make sure your Universal Credit and
Housing Benefit payments are not reduced. This includes any savings in your Help to Buy account - not your bonuses.
Any savings or bonuses you earn via Help to Save will not affect how much Working Tax Credit you get.
The bonus payments are made after two years and at the end of four years, and the money you earn is not subject to tax.
How does Help to Save compare to other savings accounts?
Compared to other accounts, Martin said the Help to Save account is “unbeatable”.
If you are eligible for Help to Save, you get 50% interest back on your cash up to the limits mentioned above.
Elsewhere, the top-paying easy-access account right now is from Virgin Money, paying 1.56% on deposits up to £25,000.
The best-paying notice savings account at the moment is from DF Capital, paying 1.7% and with a withdrawal notice period of 120 days.
The top one-year fixed account pays 2.4% and is from Investec, while a five-year fix from PCF Bank offers a 2.9% interest rate, reports The Mirror. | https://www.thesouthernreporter.co.uk/read-this/martin-lewis-says-millions-of-benefits-claimants-could-get-free-ps1200-3723900 | 2022-06-08T14:08:20Z | https://www.thesouthernreporter.co.uk/read-this/martin-lewis-says-millions-of-benefits-claimants-could-get-free-ps1200-3723900 | false | 20 |
Taiwanese F-16 fighter makes emergency landing in Hawaii
U.S. officials say a Taiwanese F-16 fighter jet made an emergency landing at Daniel K
A Taiwanese F-16 fighter jet made an emergency landing at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Hawaii on Monday afternoon, and the U.S. Air Force pilot who was flying the aircraft was taken to the hospital for treatment, U.S. officials said Tuesday.
According to officials, the aircraft appeared to have problems with its landing gear and the pilot declared an in-flight emergency and landed. A netting barrier was used to slow and stop the plane, and the nose gear collapsed after contact with the net, officials said.
The pilot was not identified and was not seriously injured, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details prior to the completion of the investigation.
The U.S. routinely sells F-16s to Taiwan. Officials said the pilot took off from an Air Force base in the continental U.S., and was scheduled to stop in Hawaii en route to Taiwan.
The U.S. has programs to retrofit and upgrade older models of the F-16 for Taiwan, as well as plans to deliver new models of the aircraft. It wasn't clear if the fighter jet was new or an older version.

The world is in the midst of a monkeypox outbreak. The World Health Organization has recorded more than 500 cases in 30 countries this year – including the United Kingdom, the United States and a number of European nations.
And how do Western media outlets illustrate the story? The BBC, the Independent, CNBC and ABC News are among those that have used a stock photo of a Black person with monkeypox blisters.
It would be as if Nigeria, which has seen 247 cases since 2017 and 66 so far this year, would use photos exclusively of white people with monkeypox in covering its national epidemic.
Absurd, right?
Africans and health equity advocates have been swift in reacting to the Western media's use of Black arms and faces with monkeypox. Nigerian journalist Mercy Abang tweeted, "Here is an example of media bias at its finest; monkeypox has been reported in nations worldwide, but a search shows only [photos of] blacks. Tragic."
Dr. Madhu Pai, professor of epidemiology and global health at McGill University, tweeted, "Journalists and editors of global North media outlets badly need training on how to not be racist & stigmatizing in their reporting Ebola, Covid, monkeypox."
The coverage echoes media reporting following the outbreak in Nigeria in 2017. I was a co-author of a BMJ Global Health Journal review of media coverage of monkeypox. Here's how a story from the publication "Voice from Europe" described the first case of monkeypox in England in 2018: a "horrible Nigerian disease called monkeypox spreads in the United Kingdom for the first time."
The message then and now: Blame Africa for monkeypox.
Here are my suggestions for Western journalists on how to frame the monkeypox story – and advice for public health officials on how to deal with the spread of this disease.
Present the facts.
The World Health Organization describes monkeypox as a zoonosis: a disease transmitted from animals to humans. The virus primarily occurs in Central and West Africa, often in proximity to tropical rainforests. However, it can crop up anywhere in the world.
In 2003, the first outbreak of monkeypox outside Africa was reported in six U.S. states – Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin. That outbreak was caused by human contact with infected prairie dogs kept as pets. Prairie dogs are herbivorous burrowing mammals native to the grasslands of North America; the pets were reportedly infected after an Illinois animal distributor had reportedly housed them near imported small mammals from Ghana.
That outbreak resulted in more than 70 reported cases, all transmitted by contact with an infected prairie dog or with a person who had been infected by a prairie dog.
Genetic evidence shows that the international outbreak likely originated in Nigeria, but the virus has likely been spreading by person-to-person contact in Europe and the U.K. for months.
Investigate the reasons behind the current outbreak.
There has always been a threat of monkeypox spreading internationally. But it hasn't until now. So the job for journalists is to talk to scientists who are trying to see if something changed about the virus and the way it spreads.
Look at how Africa is responding to monkeypox.
There is no need for the affected countries to reinvent the wheel in fighting the spread of this virus. Africa has the expertise to prevent, detect and respond to infectious disease outbreaks. We do this routinely, including for monkeypox. Recently, Ifedayo Adetifa, director-general of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, tweeted about Nigeria's monkeypox experience:
Nigeria's 1st case of #MonkeyPox was identified in 1971 and after a 40-year hiatus, monkeypox revisited in 2017. Since then, we have experienced sporadic cases and managed them. Now that there is increased attention being paid to #Monkeypox, these are @NCDCgov resources on the subject.
The resources Adetifa shared includes the National Monkeypox Public Health Response Guidelines. The document provides important information that would help Western nations in responding to this outbreak as well as improve detection and prevention of future outbreaks. One important lesson from Nigeria is the setting up of a monkeypox emergency operations center to coordinate all aspects of the response, led by a senior staff member of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and supported by other global health agencies working in the country.
In conclusion, here's what I'd tell my kids.
If my two daughters, Yagazie, age 12, and Chimamanda, age 9, were to ask me to explain what's happening with monkeypox, here's what I'd tell them: Monkeypox outbreaks are common in Africa but can happen anywhere. The infection is transmitted from some animals to humans. Human to human transmission happens when one comes into contact with sores and body fluids of those infected. Cases are now being reported in countries outside Africa, and this is scaring people in those countries.
I would also give them some monkeypox prevention advice: Monkeypox is not as deadly as it looks. The strain currently circulating is not typically fatal. However, they must always remember to wash their hands anytime they get back home from an outing, just as their mother and I have taught them to do – that's one of the measures that helps keep you safe from infection
And if they wanted to know why there's biased reporting in Western media, I'd tell them that global health has a colonial history and some Western media outlets are holding on to the vestiges of colonialism by depicting Africa as a backwards, disease-ridden continent.
I would also tell them not to allow the media — or for that matter, anyone — make them feel inferior because they are Black, and they must keep pushing back.

Wooster settles legal battle with fired firefighter as union contract talks drag on
WOOSTER – A firefighter who lost his job last year will get back pay, a year's salary and benefits as part of a legal agreement with the city.
Brandon Hewitt had filed a grievance over his termination from the Wooster Fire Department
The city of Wooster fired Hewitt, also Local 764 union president, after 13 years on the force in early November accusing him of abusing sick leave and violating COVID-19 quarantine policies.
The decision to fire him was one day before contract negotiations were slated to begin.
According to the settlement agreement, the city will rescind his termination and place him on paid administrative leave until June 15, 2023, retaining his position on the force.
Hewitt will also receive full back pay and benefits, including pension payments and health care for the nearly seven months since he was fired.
For Wooster, the settlement was the best option for both the city and fire department, said John Scavelli, city law director.
"When weighing the benefits and costs of continuing with the arbitration of Mr. Hewitt’s grievance, settlement was the most effective and efficient means of resolution," Scavelli said in an email.
This settlement comes as union contract talks enter their seventh month and another round of mediation.
Resolution after six months
For Hewitt, the settlement came as a surprise. The city presented his lawyer with the offer the night before arbitration on March 25.
Initially, they declined, "but it was a good offer," Hewitt said.
During the course of the legal battle from November to March, Hewitt received financial assistance from the International Association of Fire Fighters based in Washington, D.C., he said.
Fire:Arson suspected at house fire on same Wooster property of fatal shooting last Friday
"It was a huge help because our local union voted to pay for the $30,000-plus in legal fees, but the IAFF took on those costs," he said.
The organization also provided free legal advice. They sent Hewitt and his attorney their legal team's opinion on the matter.
Because he was terminated the day before union contract negotiations were scheduled, the IAFF said, "there is enough evidence to suggest that Chief Saley's reason for terminating President Hewitt was due to his union leadership, not his alleged violation of COVID-19 protocols."
The city said he violated COVID-19 quarantine policies on Sept. 29, 2021, when he was on continuous sick leave from Sept. 26 through Oct. 1.
"It is city policy that when an employee is on continuous sick leave, that they follow the health restrictions throughout that continuous leave," Scavelli said.
Addressing past alleged abuse
Two instances of family medical leave were listed as possible abuses in Hewitt's past.
From Oct. 10, 2020, to Dec. 21, 2020, Hewitt requested 17 days of family medical leave of absence. That's 24 on-duty hours each shift, which equals 408 hours of total time off.
In 2013, he took a total of 288 hours off in August or nearly 10 days — 264 hours of which were sick leave
Pay raise:Green school board approves pay raise for teachers in new three-year contract
According to city records, 2013 Fire Chief Robert Eyler said a rumor circulated through the department that Hewitt was training for a bodybuilding competition.
Hewitt, who had declined comment on the matter in November due to the ongoing legal battle, denies that he was training for a competition at that time.
"I was recovering from a torn meniscus I received while on the job; I was going through physical therapy," Hewitt said.
As for 2020, he said, he had major surgery to remove two tumors from his chest.
While he said it felt like the department was out to get him, he still has respect for the city and the fire department.
"I hold no ill will against the city," Hewitt said. "Things worked out for everyone, and I wish the best for the city."
Union contract negotiations ongoing
The city's firefighter contract negotiations remain ongoing despite other contracts having been settled months ago.
Hewitt, who was unanimously voted as the Local 764 union president at the end of December, leads the negotiations with other union representatives.
The city and union have agreed on nearly every issue except one.
Crime:Police deny reports of active shooter in Wooster as 'false,' suspect arrested
"We want firefighters to be paid the same rate as the police department," Hewitt said. "But the city doesn't want that because it would mean fire crews would receive more money because they work more hours than police."
Scavelli said the city has offered a package that is similar to other bargaining contracts, but the union has rejected it.
"However, the union is well within its rights to reject the said offer and continue the negotiation process according to the laws of the State of Ohio," he said. "In this case, the city and union have participated in an unsuccessful mediation, and are scheduled for a fact-finding hearing on June 27, 2022."

Robust first-in-human study of PT-112 monotherapy saw 66 patients with progressing, advanced solid tumors treated
Data previously reported in part at international medical meetings
Full data set shows PT-112 was safe and well-tolerated in heavily pre-treated cancer patients and elicited prolonged responses against thymoma and lung cancers, along with radiographic and serum marker improvement in prostate cancer, including in non-responders to prior chemotherapy and immunotherapy
NEW YORK, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Promontory Therapeutics Inc., a clinical stage pharmaceutical company focused on oncology therapeutics, announced today the peer-reviewed publication of its first-in-human Phase 1 study of lead therapeutic candidate, PT-112 in the July 2022 issue of eClinicalMedicine, part of The Lancet's Discovery Science. The study, entitled "Phase I Study of PT-112, a novel Pyrophosphate-Platinum Immunogenic Cell Death Inducer, in Advanced Solid Tumours," showed that PT-112 was safe and well-tolerated in heavily pre-treated patients with advanced cancers, and demonstrated prolonged responses against thymoma and lung cancers, along with radiographic and serum marker improvement in prostate cancer.
PT-112 has been validated as an immunogenic cell death inducer in pre-clinical models, and is under active Phase 2 clinical development. In the first-in-human dose escalation study PT-112 was given as monotherapy to eligible patients with progressing, advanced solid tumors via intravenous infusion on days 1, 8, 15 of a 28-day cycle in a 3+3 dose-escalation trial. The primary endpoint was to assess safety and pharmacokinetics, and to identify a recommended Phase 2 dose. The secondary objective was exploratory assessment of anti-tumor activity.
Study findings from 66 heavily pre-treated patients treated across 11 dose levels of PT-112 (12-420 mg/m2) include:
- The recommended phase 2 dose was determined to be 360 mg/m2
- The most common treatment-related adverse events included fatigue (35%), nausea (24%), and peripheral neuropathy (21%)
- Treatment-related Grade 3 adverse events were experienced by 27% of patients, with no grade 4-5 events observed.
- Durable, confirmed RECIST partial responses were induced in non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, and thymoma, some of which persisted for prolonged periods even after treatment discontinuation. Two additional unconfirmed RECIST responses were observed.
- Radiographic and serum marker reductions were observed among ten patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer, four of whom survived two years or longer
"We are pleased to publish the results of our first Phase 1 study of PT-112 in The Lancet's eClinicalMedicine," said Matthew Price, Executive VP & COO of Promontory Therapeutics. "The evidence supports our belief that PT-112's immunogenic cell death induction makes it a promising future treatment option in several possible cancer indications, and that its foundational safety allows us to consider numerous ways to deploy it. The experience we gained in this study underlies the direction taken by the company in our current Phase 2 studies of PT-112."
The study is registered under NCT02266745 and the full dose-escalation results are available in eClinicalMedicine and online here.
PT-112 is the first small-molecule conjugate of pyrophosphate in oncology, and possesses a unique pleiotropic mechanism of action that promotes immunogenic cell death (ICD) through the release of damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that bind to dendritic cells and lead to downstream immune effector cell recruitment in the tumor microenvironment. PT-112 represents a highly potent inducer of this immunological form of cancer cell death. Further, PT-112 harbors a property known as osteotropism, or the propensity of the drug to reach its highest concentrations in certain areas of the bone, making it a candidate for treatment of patients with cancers that originate in, or metastasize to, the bone. The first in-human study of PT-112 demonstrated an attractive safety profile and evidence of long-lasting responses among heavily pre-treated patients and won "Best Poster" within the Developmental Therapeutics category at the ESMO Annual Congress. The combination Phase 1b dose escalation study of PT-112 with PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor avelumab in solid tumors was reported in an oral presentation at the ESMO 2020 Virtual Congress. A Phase 1 study in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma was presented at ASH 2020. Monotherapy Phase 2 development is ongoing in mCRPC, and in a Phase 2 proof of concept study in thymic epithelial tumors under the company's formal collaboration with the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
Promontory Therapeutics Inc. is a privately held, clinical stage pharmaceutical company focused on small molecule immunotherapy. The company's lead candidate, PT-112, is the first small molecule conjugate of pyrophosphate in oncology, and possesses a unique pleiotropic mechanism of action that promotes immunogenic cell death (ICD), through the release of damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that bind to pattern recognition receptors on dendritic cells and promote the adaptive immune response in the tumor microenvironment. Clinical data generated across three Phase 1 studies have demonstrated single-agent anti-cancer activity and an attractive tolerability profile, and three Phase 2 studies of PT-112 are underway. The company's research and development work has been conducted in the United States, Europe and Asia, along with a sub-license agreement for the development, commercialization and use of PT-112 in Greater China. The company also sponsors the ongoing clinical study of PT-112 in combination with the PD-L1 inhibitor avelumab under a collaboration agreement with Pfizer and Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany (operating as EMD Serono in the US and Canada), and has an active Phase 2 trial underway with the NCI utilizing PT-112 in thymic epithelial tumors where PT-112 has received Orphan Drug designation.

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 a higher boost in omicron-fighting antibodies than if they just got a fourth dose of the original vaccine.
“We believe strongly that this data supports an update of the vaccine,” Dr. Stephen Hoge, Moderna's president, said Wednesday.
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 an initial 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 relatives 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, with some data expected later this month.
Moderna's new study tested people who'd had three prior vaccinations, giving 377 of them a fourth dose of the original vaccine and another 437 the combo shot.
The study wasn't designed to track how well the updated booster prevented COVID-19 cases and it was tested only against omicron, not the variants dominant now. But the bivalent vaccine sparked a nearly eight-fold rise in levels of antibodies capable of fighting omicron. Importantly, that was 1.75 times better than the antibody jump from simply giving a fourth dose of the original vaccine, Moderna said.
The data hasn't undergone scientific review, and these initial measurements were taken a month after booster shots. Antibodies naturally wane so it's not clear how long that protection could last. Moderna plans to track the levels at three and six months but already is manufacturing doses to be ready if regulators in the U.S. or elsewhere order a change for fall shots.

China, Cambodia breaking ground on joint port project
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Cambodia denied again Tuesday that it will allow any Chinese military presence at a port where it and China are beginning an expansion this week that has prompted concern in the United States and elsewhere that it will be used by Beijing as a naval outpost on the Gulf of Thailand.
Chief government spokesman Phay Siphan described the expansion of the Ream Naval Base as “cooperation between China and Cambodia” and said the Chinese ambassador to Cambodia will preside over the groundbreaking on Wednesday along with Cambodia’s defense minister and other senior military officials.
He denied, however, a report in the Washington Post newspaper citing an anonymous Chinese official that the facility on the northern side of the Cambodian base would be used in part by the Chinese military.
Siphan said it would be a violation of Cambodia’s Constitution to host a foreign military power, and that there had been no change in the terms of his country’s agreement with China on constructing the facility.
“I think that’s a strong accusation,” he said in a telephone interview.
He would not comment on the extent of the Chinese involvement and said the project involved constructing a facility for repairing ships.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian on Tuesday said the work would be a “renovation” of the base which “aims to strengthen the Cambodian navy’s capability to maintain maritime territorial integrity and combat maritime crime.”
Ream faces the Gulf of Thailand, adjacent to the South China Sea, where China has aggressively asserted its claim to virtually the entire strategic waterway. The U.S. has refused to recognize China’s sweeping claim and routinely conducts military maneuvers there to reinforce that they are international waters.
A Chinese base in Cambodia could become a chokepoint in the Gulf of Thailand close to the strategically important Malacca Strait.
State Department spokesman Ned Price said Monday that allegations China intends to establish a military presence at the Ream base are “consistent with credible reporting we’ve seen from the PRC (People’s Republic of China) that the PRC is engaged in a significant ongoing construction project at Ream Naval Base.”
“As we’ve said, an exclusive PRC military presence at Ream could threaten Cambodia’s autonomy and undermine regional security as well,” he said.
China recently signed a security deal with the Solomon Islands that the U.S. and others worry could lead to a military presence there, and Price noted that Beijing has also reached out to a number of other South Pacific islands.
“We have seen the PRC attempt to put forward a series of shadowy, opaque deals that they would like to see signed in the dead of night with no input or transparency,” he said. “This has been a pattern on the part of the PRC.”
The U.S. itself has more foreign military bases than any other country, including multiple facilities in the Asia-Pacific region.
At a regular Foreign Ministry briefing, Zhao accused the U.S. of “bullying” Cambodia and ignoring its denials that Ream would be used for Chinese military purposes, while noting Washington’s own network of bases around the world.
“China and Cambodia are comprehensive strategic partners, and our cooperation in various fields is open, transparent, reasonable and legitimate, which benefits the two countries,” he said.
China so far operates just one acknowledged foreign military base, in the impoverished but strategically important Horn of Africa nation of Djibouti. Many believe that China’s People’s Liberation Army is busy establishing an overseas military network, even if they don’t use the term “base.”
Cambodia’s authoritarian leader, Hun Sen, has long cultivated relations with China, and reportedly signed a secret agreement in 2019 allowing the Chinese to establish a base at Ream.
Though Hun Sen has strongly denied that Cambodia would allow China to set up a military outpost at Ream, China has already been dredging the harbor to allow larger ships to dock, and is building new infrastructure to replace a U.S.-built naval tactical headquarters.
Hun Sen suggested last month that the water would still be too shallow for any warships to dock, and reiterated that it would be a violation of Cambodia’s Constitution to host a Chinese military facility.
“Why would we need foreign forces, for what?” he said. “What Cambodia really needs at the moment is foreign investment, not foreign forces.”
The Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative, established by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank, posted satellite images in January of two “clamshell” dredgers at work in the harbor, and said while the extent of the dredging is unknown, it could mark a “significant upgrade” to the base.
“The shallow waters around Ream mean it is currently only able to host small patrol vessels,” it said. “A deep-water port would make it far more useful to both the Cambodian and Chinese navies.”
Newer images from April analyzed by The Associated Press show the dredgers still on site and at work.

Former Olympic gymnasts, including gold medalist Simone Biles, are among dozens of assault victims who are seeking more than $1-billion from the FBI for failing to stop sports doctor Larry Nassar, lawyers said Wednesday.
There’s no dispute that FBI agents in 2015 knew that Nassar was accused of molesting 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 Justice Department said in May that it would not pursue criminal charges against former FBI agents who failed to quickly open an investigation.
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.
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.
The FBI declined to comment in April when a smaller batch of claims was filed, referring instead to Director Christopher Wray’s remarks to Congress in 2021.
“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.
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. USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee made a $380 million settlement.

"Reformulating to counteract the edible oil crisis requires deep scientific insight," says Sagentia Innovation
CAMBRIDGE, England, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A systematic, science-led approach is needed to overcome complex processing challenges when reformulating foods in response to the current sunflower oil shortage.
This is the advice from specialists in biophysics, biochemistry and food engineering at R&D consultancy Sagentia Innovation. They say the unique functional and nutritional properties of sunflower oil mean that switching to a suitable alternative is not always straightforward.
Sunflower oil is mainly composed of polyunsaturated linoleic acid and monounsaturated oleic acid. The proportions of these unsaturated fatty acids can be controlled through careful cultivation and post-harvest processing. Sunflower oil also has a neutral flavour profile, high vitamin E content and a high smoke point. These properties, along with its relatively low cost and the role it plays in attributes such as shelf-life, underpin its widespread use as an ingredient.
Sagentia Innovation has published guidance on how food manufacturers can tackle this reformulation challenge and avoid market disruption. As well as highlighting the benefits of a structured, methodical approach it includes top-line information on the smoke point, health and flavour characteristics of 20 sunflower oil alternatives. Maria Spinetta, Food and Beverage Sector Manager at Sagentia Innovation, says these three characteristics should be assessed upfront when considering replacement oils.
"Understanding the scientific properties of sunflower oil, and how it functions within food matrices, is essential," Spinetta explains. "When looking at alternatives, you need to consider how they will affect the individual product. For instance, in baked goods oils impact sensory qualities such as texture and mouthfeel whereas in packaged snacks they play a greater role in shelf-life, stability and flavour. The smoke point is especially important in products with high processing temperatures, as using the wrong type of oil may result in rancidity and loss of nutritional value. Allergenicity is another critical consideration."
As well as potentially changing the nutritional and sensory qualities of food products, switching to a different oil has supply chain repercussions. This can impact unit economics and sustainability credentials. In some situations, manufacturers may need to explore different ingredients, such as hydrocolloids, or novel processing technologies which replace the need for baking or frying.
"Reformulating foods always raises a host of technical considerations related to processing, sensory properties and nutritional value," Spinetta explains. "In today's environment, sustainability and cost implications also need to be scrutinised. It is possible to find effective solutions to the sunflower oil shortage, but it requires deep scientific expertise combined with an understanding of the wider food sector ecosystem."

The collection will drop at a private event during NFT.NYC on June 21
BROOKLYN, N.Y., June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Voice, an NFT platform for digital artists, is hosting an art show during NFT.NYC to highlight the Voice x Street Theory NFT Residency collection that is launching on June 21st. The event, held at the EDITION Times Square, will exclusively showcase the first-ever NFTs by 14 of the world's most prolific street and contemporary artists. Attendees will be able to purchase pieces from the collection easily without cryptocurrency, and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Coalition for the Homeless.
The NFT Residency is in partnership with Street Theory, an award-winning creative agency, with over 20 years of experience in large scale public art production, artist management, and more. The Residency is co-curated by Liza Quiñonez, co-founder and CEO of Street Theory, and Kesia Ramos, curator and founder of The Art at the Table.
"Most street art, murals, graffiti and public art are ever changing and temporary in nature," says Quiñonez. "This Residency is important because it introduces street artists to a space where their work can live on and be collected by their supporters and enthusiasts forever… from the block to the blockchain."
The event will display work by Residency artists 123Klan, Alice Mizrachi, Decertor, Don Rimx, El Cekis, Indie184, Jc Rivera, kaNO, Marka27, Nicole Salgar, SEX el niño de las pinturas, Sheefy McFly, UPENDO, and Sydney James.
The Residency has given street artists the opportunity to expand their medium and adapt their traditional practice for an increasingly digital world. For her collection, Nicole Salgar explored ideas that she had for murals and paintings, but through the lens of the digital world. "I've only just begun exploring this facet of my visual art, and I learned how vast this medium is. The possibilities are seemingly endless," she said. "My work always explores the concepts of dimension, reality, nature and perception, and these pieces are no exception."
Voice has established itself as a platform focused on bringing underrepresented creators into the Web3 world through conscientious programming and a platform that lowers the barrier to entry into the space.
"The Voice x Street Theory partnership marks the next phase of bringing physical community artwork to digital experiences," said Eliza Fish, Voice's Director of Partnerships & Creator Relations. "This is the first time street and fine art artists can both offer ephemeral artworks (such as street murals) to be owned by collectors."
The event will open with limited availability to the public. All collections will be publicly displayed and for sale on Voice on June 22, 2022.

"It was like the weight of the world had been taken off his shoulders and I feel that finally after six years he's gotten his life back," Chew told "GMA" co-anchor George Stephanopoulos about Depp.
On June 1, a jury awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages over Heard's 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she alleged to be a victim of domestic abuse, despite her abuser not being named in the piece. Depp will receive a total of $10.35 million due to Virginia state law capping punitive damages at $350,000.
The jury also awarded Heard $2 million in compensatory damages for comments made by Depp's former attorney.

Vasquez said Depp had an opportunity "to speak the truth for the first time" at the trial.
"It was six years in the making, and I think he was able to connect with the jury and the general public and tell what really happened in this relationship," she continued.
When asked about a previously released statement from Heard's spokesperson that said the verdict was "setting back decades of how women can be treated in the courtroom," Vasquez pushed back.
"We're only speaking about what happened in this case, right? And the facts in this case were overwhelmingly positive for Johnny and the verdict speaks for itself," she said.

Vasquez also denied that the verdict was a setback to the #MeToo movement, saying, "I think our response to that is we encourage any victim to come forward -- domestic violence doesn't have a gender."
"I think the jury got to see and the world got to see and hear from Ms. Heard in that relationship on every single topic," she continued.
Chew said there was "a real contrast" between Heard and Depp on the stand.
"Johnny took ownership of a lot of things and it seemed at times, and perhaps it came through to the jury, that she had an answer for everything and she wasn't taking accountability for anything, and I think that made a difference," he said.
Chew also said that he felt that social media "played no role whatsoever" in the verdict. "This was a decision made by the jury on the evidence presented by both sides, and as Camille said, it was overwhelmingly in Mr. Depp's favor," he said.
Chew said the case was about "restoring [Depp's] reputation -- and he's done that."
Both Chew and Vasquez became famous on social media throughout the weekslong trial, something Vasquez said has been both "surreal" and "overwhelming" for her.
She said, "If I'm being honest, a bit overwhelming, but if I can be an inspiration to young women that want to go to law school and study and work hard, then it was all worth it." | https://abc7chicago.com/johnny-depp-trial-lawyer-camille-vasquez-ben-chew-interview-amber-heard/11938422/ | 2022-06-08T14:27:00Z | https://abc7chicago.com/johnny-depp-trial-lawyer-camille-vasquez-ben-chew-interview-amber-heard/11938422/ | false | 8 |

Kangana Ranaut is well known for making headlines for controversial remarks and today is no different. Today, the ‘Queen’ actress is being trolled for taking to social media and calling Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker an “idiot of a man.” Reason? A parody video clip that is making rounds on social media.
For those who don’t know, the now-viral clip is a response to a Twitter user named Vashudev’s video recording appealing to Indians to boycott Qatar Airways following the massive diplomatic blowback India received following a BJP leader’s derogatory remarks toward Prophet Muhammad. So scroll below to first know all that Ms Ranaut had to say, followed by the video’s content and netizens’ reaction to it.

Taking to her Instagram stories, Kangana Ranaut slammed the Qatar Airways chief for his video saying, “All so-called Indians who are cheering this bully for making fun of a poor man remember this is exactly why you all are a big bojh (burden) on this overpopulated country.” In her following story, she added, “This idiot of a man has no shame bullying a poor man, mocking his insignificance and place in the world… “
Trending
In the same story, Kangana Ranaut also wrote, “Vasudev may be poor and insignificant for a rich man like you but he has the right to express his grief, pain and disappointment in whatever context it may be… remember there is a world beyond this world where we all are equal….”
View this post on Instagram
The video, cause of which she slammed the Qatar Airways chief, is a dubbed spoofed video of his to broadcaster Al Jazeera. Laced with sarcastic jibes, the dubbed part makes it sound like Akbar Al Baker is personally appealing to Vasudev to call off his boycott. In the doctored video, the Qatar Airlines chief appears to be saying, “Vashudev is our biggest shareholder with a total investment of ₹ 624.50. We don’t know how to operate anymore. We have grounded all flights. Our operations are not running anymore….” Check out the spoof video here:
So Kangna Ranaut thought this video was real ! She need #brainhealth for real !

Seeing this, netizens have trolled Kangana Ranaut. One wrote, “🤣🤣 Whatsapp University ka gold medalist race mein hai ye..! #KanganaRanaut.” Another added, “#KanganaRanaut did not fall, she is the parody!! , on a serious note she represents the cancer of hate that #bjp has sown in the Indian mindset #india” Another post about it read, “Kangana Ranaut cannot identify the difference between a parody and a real video. She is in the movie industry as an actor and a producer who claims she knows all.”
A user, trolling the actress, commented, “This is beyond bizarre.. Kangana Ranaut on her official Instagram handle thinks that the spoof video is real. I mean she actually believes that an investment of 624 rs is the biggest in an organization worth almost 45 billion dollars. A CEO will troll someone in India! How???”

The CISF, a paramilitary force under MHA, has cited more threats to Rana in its letter sent to the Ministry this week
Navneet Rana (L) and Ravi Rana. File Photo
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has written to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to review the security of Lok Sabha MP Navneet Rana, who has been in controversy over the Hanuman Chalisa issue since April.
The CISF, a paramilitary force under MHA, has cited more threats to Rana in its letter sent to the Ministry this week, said sources.
Rana was accorded armed VIP security cover by the CISF at the end of April this year. The CISF has been providing 'Y' category with all India security cover to her since April 14. She was provided Central security cover after a threat analysis by the MHA.
Rana, a former Indian actress who mainly acted in Telugu cinema, is an elected Member of Parliament from Amravati in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections as an independent candidate.
Rana came into the limelight over the Hanuman Chalisa row followed by her arrest and an alleged 'inhumane treatment' meted out at Khar Police Station in Mumbai in April end.
Rana and her husband Ravi Rana, who is an independent MLA, were arrested in April end from their Mumbai residence after declaring that they would recite the Hanuman Chalisa outside Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's home in Bandra.
Rana was lodged after her arrest at Khar Police Station. She was later moved to the Byculla women's prison on Sunday evening.
The two were booked in two FIRs lodged on charges of sedition, promoting enmity and assaulting a public servant to prevent discharge of duty.
Meanwhile, Navneet had appeared before the Parliamentary Privilege Committee on May 23 over her allegation of "patently illegal arrest and the consequent inhuman treatment meted out to her at Khar Police Station, Mumbai".
Following this, the Privilege Committee summoned Maharashtra Chief Secretary Manu Kumar Srivastava, Director General of Police Rajnish Seth, Mumbai Police Commissioner Sanjay Pandey and Superintendent of Women District Prison, Byculla (Mumbai) Yashwant Bhanudas.

Auburn-Southeastern Louisiana baseball live stream (6/3): How to watch NCAA Regionals online, TV, time
Auburn faces Southeastern Louisiana on Friday, June 3, in the Auburn Regional of the NCAA baseball tournament. The game also will be live streamed on ESPN+. Auburn’s Sonny DiChiara had no problem adjusting to the SEC after transferring from Samford. The senior first baseman is the conference co-player...

The Louisiana Legislature made significant infrastructure investments during the 2022 session, thanks to state surplus and federal dollars.
Capital Region highlights start with a $300 million down payment for a new Mississippi River bridge crossing, along with up to $40 million in additional recurring dollars for the project. The region also will get $12.5 million for passenger rail service from Baton Rouge to Donaldsonville, a first step toward a route to New Orleans, along with the last of the $26 million needed to dredge and clean up the LSU lakes.
“For the Capital Region, when we talk about outcomes for the session, [infrastructure] will always be number one on the list,” says Trey Godfrey, senior vice president of policy with the Baton Rouge Area Chamber.
He says the lakes project will improve Baton Rouge’s “quality of place,” which helps with talent attraction and retention. BRAC also touts the extension of the Quality Jobs and Competitive Projects Payroll Incentive programs, measures to make it easier to transfer college credits, investments in early childhood education, and a bill to promote computer science education, among other measures.
The Louisiana Association of Business and Industry celebrated the defeat of Senate Bill 151, which would have allowed voters to enshrine local approval of Industrial Tax Exemption Program benefits in the state constitution. But local collectors managed to kill a business-backed attempt to hold another statewide vote to centralize sales tax collections.
Though the centralization bill, House Bill 681, had the votes to pass both chambers, local collectors wanted to gut it, and their opposition likely would have doomed the change at the polls, LABI President Stephen Waguespack says, adding that challenging the current system in court might be a viable option.
Waguespack says the unemployment trust fund, tapped out during the pandemic, has been stabilized with a $500 million appropriation, which avoids triggering higher taxes on businesses.
LABI also backed successful bills to create taxpayer-funded education savings accounts for students who are reading below grade level or have other special needs.
“We were proud to be a part of a coordinated effort between the Legislature and the administration to make the most significant infrastructure investment Louisiana has seen in decades,” Waguespack says. | https://www.businessreport.com/business/infrastructure-investments-highlight-just-completed-regular-session | 2022-06-08T14:36:14Z | https://www.businessreport.com/business/infrastructure-investments-highlight-just-completed-regular-session | true | 1 |
This Morning fans were left a bit miffed today as they tuned into the show and saw Alison Hammond holidaying in Dubai.
Presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield introduced the pre-recorded segment as 'Alison in Arabia.'
The footage showed Alison beaming in sunny Dubai as she swam in an infinity pool and promoted the popular holiday destination.
However, many viewers hit out at the show saying that it was "tone deaf" - particularly as money saving expert Martin Lewis had just featured on the ITV show to help people with their financial troubles.
One person tweeted: "Good one #ThisMorning! People are at home unable to make ends meet so you show us your overrated presenters living it up, for free, on 5* holidays. Start reading the room, hey?"
Another said: "Can they not go to nice places in around the UK? This is getting people really annoyed [sic] keep harping on about living Crisis and then sending presenters on mega holidays that a lot of us can't afford. #ThisMorning."
A third person fumed: "This show sending people on holidays that most of us can't afford is TONE DEAF #ThisMorning." And a fourth viewer added: "This morning- deals with a 94 year old who's been given a bill that isn't hers to pay Also this morning- but we've also sent Alison to Dubai?? yeh this show really knows it's priorities #ThisMorning."
Someone else asked: "What's the point in doing an item telling you to only boil a kettle with enough water for one cup of tea so you can afford to pay your energy bills if the next item is Alison lapping up the luxury in Dubai? #ThisMorning."
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV and ITV Hub.

Karan Sharma led from the front with a calm and composed unbeaten 93 as Uttar Pradesh knocked out favourites Karnataka with a five-wicket win in their Ranji Trophy quarterfinals on Wednesday.
This was UP's first-ever win over Karnataka on 13 occasions and it could not have come at a better time. UP are now headed for a semifinal clash against heavyweights Mumbai at the same venue from June 14.
Previously, UP had lost four times and drawn nine times but never won against Karnataka.
Captaining the team in his very first season for UP, the 23-year-old Sharma, playing his fourth first-class match, showed solid temperament in their chase of 213 after Priyam Garg made an elegant 60-ball 52.
Sharma, who scored a second-innings century in their win over Maharashtra that sealed their quarterfinals berth here, once again stood like a rock. The Lucknow Super Giants batter, who faced 163 balls aced his innings brilliantly, especially at the fag end of the day.
That the slow pitch had little to offer for the pacers also played a part as Sharma happily took on Ronit More, pulling him in front of square, even on front foot.
He slammed 13 fours and one six in his knock as UP fashioned a memorable win with two days to spare.
The skipper found an able ally in Prince Yadav who played a patient innings of 33 not out from 73 balls (3x4, 1x6) in their unbroken match-winning partnership of 99 runs.
UP had a jittery start to their chase as they lost Aryan Juyal and Samarth Singh for 28 but thereafter Garg played a counter-attacking knock and reached to his fifty in 57 balls with a six off Vidhwath Kaverappa.
Just when it seemed that UP had the game on their hands, the home side titled the match in their favour after off-spinner Krishnappa Gowtham gave the breakthrough by dismissing Garg.
Bowling superbly to his field, Gowtham foxed Garg with a length ball as the Sunrisers Hyderabad batter gave a simple catch to leg slip.
Rinku Singh (4) and Dhruv Jurel (9) were also dismissed cheaply as UP lost three wickets for 27 runs with 114/5 on board in the second session when the young skipper came to take charge of the proceedings.
Sharma had a solid approach upfront without buckling under pressure and took time to settle down before coming on his own.
Earlier, it was their India 'A' left-arm spinner Saurabh Kumar who returned with a match-haul of seven wickets to turn it around for the Vijay Dahiya-coached UP after they suffered a first-innings batting collapse to concede a 98-run first-innings lead.
Saurabh returned with 3/36 in the second essay which included the prized-scalps of Mayank Agarwal as Karnataka failed to build on their healthy lead and were bundled out for 114 on the third day morning.
Yash Dayal grabbed the last two wickets to complete the formalities as Karnataka, who were overnight 100/8, were bowled out in five overs. On a docile pitch, there was a sheer lack of application from the star-studded Karnataka batting lineup.
Brief Scores:
Karnataka: 253 and 114 in 39 overs; Uttar Pradesh: 155 and 213/5 in 65.2 overs (Karan Sharma 93 not out, Priyam Garg 52, Prince Yadav 33 not out; Vijaykumar Vyshak 3/47)
Result: UP won by 5 wickets.

Prosecutors begin closing arguments in Paris 2015 attacks trial
Issued on:
The trial over the November 2015 attacks in Paris, France's worst-ever terror assault, heard the beginning of closing arguments Wednesday by the three leading prosecutors in the case.
For three days, the prosecutors will detail their version of the events on November 13, 2015, when 130 people died at the Bataclan concert hall and elsewhere in shootings that traumatised the country.
In accordance with French court procedure, the prosecutors will then lay out their assessment of the level of guilt of each accused and finally, on Friday, recommend sentencing.
In the dock is Salah Abdeslam, the only surviving member of the Islamist hit team that opened fire in the packed concert hall and on cafe terraces in adjacent streets, as well as at the Stade de France sports arena.
Also on trial are 19 others accused of various degrees of assistance to the killers.
Twelve, including Abdeslam, risk life in prison, the maximum punishment under French law.
"What will we remember from this trial? What images? What words?" asked prosecutor Camille Hennetier as she delivered her closing remarks in what is France's biggest trial ever, which started in September 2021.
"Your verdict, of course," she said.
"And the names of the dead that were read out in September. The testimony of the survivors. And finally, without a doubt, the cruelty of the terrorists who fired again and again and took pleasure in killing."
The length of the trial, its emotional charge and the number of plaintiffs -- 2,500 -- have made it the most impactful legal proceeding in French history.
Six suspects are being tried in absentia, including five leading Islamic State members presumed dead in Syria.
'Illogical' claim
Abdeslam, a 32-year-old Frenchman who was arrested in Belgium after five months on the run, kept silent during the police investigation but started talking during the trial, explaining how he gave up plans to blow himself up, and apologised to victims.
But his tearful appeal for forgiveness had little impact on the prosecutors, who do not believe that Abdeslam really changed his mind about the attack. Instead, they say, his explosive belt simply malfunctioned.
Prosecutors also said the accused's claim that he was recruited by a jihadist cell only a few days before the attacks was "strange" and "illogical".
They are expected to ask for Abdeslam to be sentenced to life in prison without parole, a verdict pronounced only very rarely in France and which all but rules out any later reduction of his sentence.
Most prisoners on life sentences in France are released after 20 to 25 years.
Closing arguments by the defence lawyers start next week, and the verdicts are scheduled for June 29.

MESA, Ariz., June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlis Motor Vehicles (ATLIS), a start-up mobility technology company, announced today the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with defense vehicle developer Advent Atum, headquartered in Holsworthy, New South Wales, Australia. Under the agreement, Advent Atum will purchase ATLIS's fully electric vehicle platform, the ATLIS XP, to use in the development of its autonomous defense and specialist commercial products.
The ATLIS XP platform is a stand-alone medium to heavy-duty electric platform and is the base for the electric ATLIS XT pickup that will debut in 2024. The standard XP platform consists of two identical modular drive systems located in the front and rear of the vehicle, four traction motors, independent suspension, drive-by-wire technology and an ATLIS battery pack. The XP platform is the only full suite EV skateboard solution to convert a traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle to an EV. ATLIS plans to begin production of the XP by the end of 2022.
Advent Atum is developing products and systems powered by advanced AI, incorporating computer vision, radar, acoustics and deep learning algorithms. The company's core product in development is the HORAS™ (High Order Reinforced Autonomous System), a platform-agnostic AI software and hardware package to support semi and full autonomous operations.
"Advent Atum's mission is to rapidly advance defense and commercial industry capabilities through autonomy and sustainability," said Andrew Wilson, Managing Director, Advent Atum.
"The ATLIS XP will provide the functionality and modular design we need to bring our prototypes to production and deliver the plug-and-play capability needed for off-the-shelf defense and commercial sensor platforms, especially for Proteus," stated Robert O'Donnell, President, Advent Atum.
Additionally, Advent Atum looks to keep its supply chain as sustainable as possible. "Atlis Motor Vehicles is the perfect partner for us in term of other potential supply opportunities such as batteries for HORAS AI system," said Jade Vujevic, CFO, Advent Atum.
"Throughout the XP platform development process, we're working to ensure that an electric vehicle will retain the performance capabilities of an internal combustion engine vehicle," said Mark Hanchett, CEO of Atlis Motor Vehicles. "As the Australian Defence Force looks to reduce its dependence on foreign oil and Advent Atum moves to make sustainable, electric platforms, the XP delivers the capability, durability, and sustainability goals the Armed Forces demands."
The Proteus Autonomous Electric Vehicle concept is a 5–7-ton class protected multi role vehicle with an estimated 700km of electric range at full combat weight. The Proteus is intended to be used in combat reconnaissance type roles and automated logistics tasks. The Proteus is designed to be modular, with a removable crew compartment to allow for additional cargo capacity of the vehicle, to operate autonomously.
This is ATLIS's latest announcement with an Australian company. Earlier this year, ATLIS announced that Australian Manufactured Vehicles (AusMV) became ATLIS's first institutional investor under the entity Boss Global Investments. By 2025, AusMV plans to buy 19,000 ATLIS XT pickups and complete right-hand drive production in Australia for sale in the Oceania and Southeast Asia markets under the ATLIS brand.

Many in India had celebrated the restoration of commercial international flights but it may have been too soon as in many cases they are facing long delays in getting visas for travel to some European countries.
Visa processing time for some nations in the continent and the United Kingdom has risen to four to ten weeks at the moment, which has forced many would-be travellers to cancel flights and bookings.
Last week, the Danish Embassy in India said in a statement that it had temporarily suspended applications for short-stay visas and residence permits to that country.
“Due to shortage of staff, absence and an unforeseen increase in the number of applications, the Embassy of Denmark in New Delhi temporarily suspends all new appointments at VFS,” the Danish Embassy statement read.
There has been some improvement in some cases but not as much as one would have liked. “A standard tourist visa for the UK now takes six weeks to get processed compared to eight weeks just a few months ago. But this is still higher than the two to three weeks it used to take before the pandemic,” Pranav Sinha, head of VFS Global in India and South Asia had told Moneycontrol in May.
VFS Global is a technology company that governments and missions worldwide have outsourced visa facilitation and other services.
What are the biggest reasons why visa processing time has risen significantly in 2022?
Market participants and experts have attributed the rise in visa processing time to four main factors, namely, shortage of staff at embassies, a sudden rise in tourist visa applications, pent-up applications from students and working professionals, and stricter protocol around granting visas by countries.
A surge in tourist visa applications
VFS Global said that it is experiencing high volumes of visa applications coupled with limited appointment availability and stretched visa processing timelines from India.
“On an average, VFS Global is receiving approximately 20,000 applications from India in a day, which is close to the volumes recorded during the pre-pandemic peak season,” the company said.
Shikhar Aggarwal, joint managing director of BLS International, the second-largest visa processing firm in India, also said that visa applications have grown by an average of 60 percent from the pandemic years, especially for Spain and Morocco.
While the sudden rise in visa applications has not been a cause for concern for visa processing firms like VFS Global and BLS International, embassies of different countries are struggling to keep up with the rising numbers.
Short-staffed embassies
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, most embassies in India had temporarily shut down their visa processing centres and professionals working at the missions were flown back to their home countries.
Once they reopened, the embassies found it hard to bring back the professionals who were earlier working with them as a number of them were sceptical about the COVID-19 situation in India and others had found new jobs, multiple officials from missions located in Delhi told Moneycontrol.
“The growing popularity of work-from-home jobs coupled with the uncertainty around new waves of the pandemic has left many former embassy professionals looking to different jobs,” an official from a European embassy told Moneycontrol.
He added that in most embassies only the ambassador or high commissioner assigned to the diplomatic mission along with their personal staff had returned to India in 2021. Even now most embassies in India are working with around 50 percent of the staff compared to pre-COVID levels.
The minister counselor for consular affairs at the US Embassy in New Delhi last month had also said that their embassy was short-staffed and that this year they expect to be at two-thirds of their pre-COVID capacity, and hoped to reach 100 percent by the end of 2023.
Pent-up applications from students and working professionals
Students and working professionals who had returned to India due to the outbreak of COVID-19 have been trying to return to the countries they had been studying or working in after the pandemic started to subside.
However, a number of them are struggling with visa renewal issues with their applications stuck with embassies.
Many students studying in Australia, the US, UK and China have also reached out to the Indian government to help process their visas.
“Let us request again to the authorities. We can’t be just waiting anymore. We must have an update on our return. While other countries are given (such updates), why are we deprived of it,” said a representative group called Indian Students in China on Twitter.
Deepak Chahal, an Indian PhD student at Macquarie University in Australia, said that he applied for the student Subclass 500 visa on January 14, 2021 and has been waiting for it for 17 months.
Travel agents also told Moneycontrol that students they work with are facing delays that are particularly impacting those that had May start dates.
Amar Bahada, director at Meridean Overseas, a foreign education consultancy, is still awaiting visa decisions for 37 students from the UK who were due to start their university courses in May.
Similarly, Hemant Agrawal, CEO at BitTrack, another foreign education consultancy, said approximately 50 students he works with have been waiting for almost 45 days for their visas to the UK. Bahada said he previously advised students to use the government’s “priority” or “super-priority” routes, through which applicants can pay extra to receive a decision after five or two working days, respectively. However, the UK government had suspended these options in March without warning.
Stricter protocol around granting visas
“As an aftermath of COVID-19 pandemic, visa processing now involves a few more verifications and backend processing as the vaccination certificates of customers need to be verified,” another official from a European embassy told Moneycontrol.
He added that visa processing also faces delays due to changing regulations around vaccination and the acceptance of different vaccines by countries.
“Some countries had made it mandatory for travellers to have taken a booster shot before granting a visa, but due to a backlash from the industry had to reconsider. Such uncertainties are adding to the already existing delays in visa processing,” the first official said.
Furthermore, many countries have also increased additional security and background clearances, industry experts said.
“Additional clearance like countries visited in the past 15 days, genuinity of vaccine certificate, and timeline of older visa may take several weeks to several months to process,” a senior official from one visa processing firm said on condition of anonymity.
Market experts and industry professionals also said that countries that are looking to push tourism activities are facing fewer issues in processing visas.
“Thailand and Spain are granting visas in less than five days in India,” Aggarwal of BLS International said, adding that many customers seeking a Schengen visa are now looking to apply for visas from Spain for faster processing. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/explained-why-are-visas-from-some-countries-facing-delays-in-processing-8660081.html | 2022-06-08T14:41:34Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/explained-why-are-visas-from-some-countries-facing-delays-in-processing-8660081.html | true | 2 |

Foo Fighters plan 2 tribute concerts for Taylor Hawkins
NEW YORK (AP) — Foo Fighters will honor the rock band’s late drummer Taylor Hawkins with a pair of tribute concerts in September — one in London and the other in Los Angeles.
The twin shows will take place Sept. 3 at London’s Wembley Stadium and Sept. 27 at The Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, featuring “his bandmates and his inspirations playing the songs that he fell in love with, and the ones he brought to life,” the band said in a statement. Lineups for each show will be announced at a later date.
Hawkins died March 25 during a South American tour with the rock band. He was 50.
Taylor’s wife, Alison, took to social media to thank the band and its fans for their support. “In celebration of his life, is now up to all of us who loved him most to honor Taylor’s legacy and the music he gave us.”
Hawkins was Alanis Morissette’s touring drummer when he joined Foo Fighters in 1997, first appearing with the band on the tour supporting its sophomore album “The Colour & The Shape.”
He made his recording debut with Foo Fighters on 1999′s “There Is Nothing Left To Lose.” Hawkins played on every subsequent band album, including “One by One” and “In Your Honor,” and on hit singles like “Best of You.”
The band canceled its tour after Hawkins’ death. At the Grammy Awards on April 3, an extended tribute to Hawkins played before the show’s In Memoriam segment honoring artists and music industry figures who’ve died. Billie Eilish paid homage to Hawkins during her performance by sporting a black T-shirt with his image.

(NewsNation) — Over the past several weeks, multiple inmates have escaped across the country.
In Florence, Alabama, a jailhouse romance triggered a nationwide manhunt starting April 29 for escaped inmate Casey White and the corrections officer who helped break the capital murder suspect out of jail, Vicky White. U.S. marshals later tracked down the couple, finding them in Indiana. Casey White was captured, and Vicky White died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
On May 12, Gonzalo Lopez, an inmate with ties to the Mexican mafia, escaped a prison transport bus in Texas after stabbing a guard. While on the run, Lopez would go on to kill five members of the same family before eventually being shot and killed by police.
Now, an inmate out of Ohio remains on the run. Investigators say he and four others broke out of the STAR Community Justice Center in Franklin Furnace, Ohio, on Saturday. The sheriff said the inmates escaped by cutting a whole in the fence using a bolt cutter, most likely thrown over a fence by one of the inmate’s fiances. Four of the inmates have been captured. Authorities are still searching for Thomas Charles Comberger. Anyone who spots him is urged to call 911.
How do the escapes keep happening, and what can be done to prevent them? One sheriff says the answer is simple: Hire more guards and make sure they follow the rules.
Lauderdale County, Alabama Sheriff Rick Singleton’s jail was at the center of the nationwide manhunt for escaped inmate Casey White and corrections Officer Vicky White. He joined NewsNation Prime to comment on the jailbreak in Ohio and doesn’t think the escapee has gone far in this case.
“I think it’s [escapes have] always been happening. In our case, the fact that we had an inmate who was awaiting trial for capital murder made it somewhat unique. The escape in Ohio with low-level drug offenders, based on my experience, they are probably there somewhere close. They’re not going to skip out across the country like ours did,” Singleton said.
Singleton said since the Casey White escape, changes have been made at the Lauderdale County Detention Center.
“We put too much responsibility and authority in one person. Vicky White was the assistant director of operations. She coordinated transport from the facility from A to Z. She was the only link in the chain. We have since changed that,” Singleton said.
“We’ve reviewed our policy. We had a good policy. We had a good protocol. They just weren’t followed. That’s because we put too much authority and responsibility in a single person. We’ve now incorporated better checks and balances.”
How do inmates persaude people to help them escape? Singleton says they have a lot of time to think about different persuasive techniques.
“They’re sitting there all day and they’ve got all day to think of ways to persuade people to help them. Including developing a romantic relationship, that happened in our case,” Singleton said.
According to Singleton, the Lauderdale County Detention Center has 12 openings.
“This is a tough job. They’re underpaid, they’re overworked. It’s not a job that anyone can do. It’s not a job that just anyone wants to stay with. We had a resignation today … Our local fast food restaurants now pay about what we pay an entry level corrections officer — $14.92 an hour,” Singleton said.
“It’s a challenge. It always comes down to funding. It’s always a fight to get your share of the budget that you need.” | https://www.cbs17.com/news/national-news/multiple-high-profile-inmate-escapes-in-a-matter-of-weeks/ | 2022-06-08T14:48:26Z | https://www.cbs17.com/news/national-news/multiple-high-profile-inmate-escapes-in-a-matter-of-weeks/ | true | 24 |
78% haven't been tapped to collaborate for branded live shopping opportunities, an overwhelming number of them —86%—said they are ready and willing to partner in this space.
NEW YORK, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- MRM, the leading digital-first marketing agency and Mavrck, the leading all-in-one advanced influencer marketing platform, today released a joint study, "Ask the Creators: Insights on Live Shopping." The study surveyed Mavrck's vast network of influencers to learn more about content creators' perspectives on shoppable live streams.
While not entirely new, social commerce has accelerated in the past couple of years as social platforms have bridged gaps between commerce and content. Live shopping is an organic next step for how consumers are already making their purchases. It combines the ease of online shopping with the in-store experience to create shoppable entertainment at consumers' fingertips. While it will take some time for U.S. shopping to fully advance to where live shopping is in Asia, there are countless opportunities for brands to start experimenting while it's relatively young.
Commenting on the study, MRM Commerce's Head of Social Commerce & Partnerships, Taylor Siegel said "We've been entrenched in the social commerce space for some time now and are excited to see the early signs of it gaining momentum more broadly. We've found an incredible partner in Mavrck through their leadership in influencer marketing platforms and their direct access to a vast network of content creators. There are endless opportunities for brands to leverage within the live shopping space and the time is now to get in early."
Instagram was the go-to social platform that creators said they were utilizing for live shopping experiences, and TikTok was an emerging second, particularly from creators in the 18-34 age cohort. "We see that many creators, especially those who have built their audiences originally on Instagram, are experimenting with Instagram's live shopping capabilities to start," said Sean Naegeli, Chief Creator Officer and Co-Founder of Mavrck. "TikTok is quickly catching up with their livestreaming shopping functionality and we predict this will be a huge opportunity for creators to monetize and for brands to expand their revenue from social commerce. Brands should start their live shopping planning now."
The survey of both full-time and part-time creators revealed a series of insights across social platforms, creator demand, personal shopping habits, and content to highlight key areas where brands can start to fill in gaps.
Influencers Are Eager to Partner with Brands for Live Shopping Content
- 78% of respondents admit they haven't yet been tapped to collaborate for branded live shopping opportunities
- 86% of respondents said they are ready and willing to partner to create branded live shopping content
- 68% of respondents said they had participated in general live streamed brand partnerships that did not include shoppable features
Influencers Share Their Personal Shopping Habits
- 79% of respondents admitted they had never made a live shopping purchase themselves if they were to make a purchase
- 86% of respondents agreed items less than $100 would be a fair price point for live shopping purchases
- When asked what types of items would prompt live shopping purchases, 45% of respondents said they're more likely to purchase fashion apparel from a shoppable livestream; 23% said they'd most likely buy skincare or cosmetics items; and 15% said they'd purchase home decor
The Best Platforms for Live Shopping Experiences
- Out of the content creators who had participated in live shopping, over 65% identified Instagram as their preferred platform for go-live capabilities
- TikTok was the second-preferred platform at 16%, followed by Facebook (8%), Amazon Live (6%), Twitch (3%), and YouTube's beta live shopping (2%)
- Responses aligned with demographic preferences by platform – 81% of respondents who preferred TikTok for live shopping fell into the 18-34 age range, and 55% of respondents who preferred Facebook to go live were between 35-44 years old
The Best Content for Live Shopping Experiences
- 59% of respondents said "how-tos" and tutorials were the most compelling content for live shopping
- Styling livestreams were also notably popular at 20%, followed by "shop with me" livestreams at 14%
- Results of this survey point to a profoundly human experience: for most, showing rather than telling a story is the preferred way to experience a new product or service
Brands operating in the U.S. should begin including live shopping experiments in their overall social strategies while the opportunity is still emerging. Overall, the study has revealed that there's much to learn from content creators when it comes to future success in live shopping as the marketing industry continues to explore the full range of insights and data available within social commerce.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, who has elevated her national prominence through a hands-off approach to pandemic restrictions, won the Republican primary on Tuesday against a former legislative leader who accused her of using the office to mount a 2024 White House bid.
All three Republican incumbents running for reelection to a statewide office — Noem, U.S. Sen. John Thune and U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson — held off primary challengers running to their right. Primary voters also soundly rejected a proposed constitutional amendment that would have made it more difficult to pass citizen-initiated ballot measures that raise taxes or spend significant public funds.
The first-term governor’s primary win against former South Dakota House Speaker Steve Haugaard gives her a commanding advantage as she seeks another term in November against Democratic state Rep. Jamie Smith, who did not face a primary challenger.
In her speech at an election night party, Noem didn’t even mention her Democratic gubernatorial challenger’s name. Instead, she told the crowd, “we’re going to have the chance to go into a November election and make sure we’re pushing back on Joe Biden’s America.”
She then led them in booing and jeering the president’s policies as she drove a comparison between Biden and former President Donald Trump, whose attention she has courted.
“Today, I’m on defense,” she said. “Every time I turn around I’m fighting off Joe Biden and the damage he’s doing to the state of South Dakota.”
Noem has used this election fundraising cycle to collect a record amount of money for a South Dakota gubernatorial candidate — bringing in more than $15 million from a series of fundraisers all over the country.
“She was one of the only governors who stood firm in not using the pandemic to increase government intrusions in our lives,” said Kerry Larson, a Republican voter from Sioux Falls. “It says a lot about her and how she will govern under pressure.”
But Noem has also struggled to manage Statehouse politics at times, publicly clashing with Republican legislators with whom she disagrees.
Haugaard had attempted to turn the tables on Noem’s 2018 campaign promise to increase government transparency. He has pointed to ethics complaints she faces for using state-owned airplanes to attend political events and taking a hands-on role in a state agency while it was evaluating her daughter’s application for a real estate appraiser license.
Thune, the No. 2 Republican in the chamber, also won his primary against two challengers who joined the race after Thune drew Trump’s ire. Trump speculated the senator’s career was “over” after he made public statements dismissing the former president’s lies about widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.
Neither of the challengers was well-funded or well-known in the state, and in a sign that Thune was positioned for victory, Trump steered clear of South Dakota.
Thune is a longtime fixture as the state GOP’s elder statesman, and if he wins reelection to a fourth term, he is a likely pick to succeed Mitch McConnell as Senate Republican leader. He will face Democrat Brian Bengs, an Air Force veteran and college professor, in November’s general election.
The senator alluded to his prominence in Washington in a statement celebrating the primary win, saying he would “continue putting South Dakota’s interests on the national agenda” and labeling Biden’s agenda as a “radical, left-wing crusade.”
Thune’s status in Washington factored into Republican Sandra Pay’s vote, saying it would be “crazy” to vote out someone with Thune’s Senate leadership post.
“He’s got power,” she said.
Republican Johnson defeated state lawmaker Taffy Howard in the Republican primary for the state’s lone House spot. The $300,000 Howard’s campaign raised was dwarfed by Johnson’s $1.8 million, but a number of national political action committees spent money in the race as it began to look competitive.
“It will not be deception and New Jersey attacks that carry the day,” Johnson said, referring to a political action committee called Drain The Swamp that spent $500,000 opposing Johnson. “It will be truth and South Dakota hard work.”
The congressman has taken a measured approach on most issues and has touted his work with a bipartisan group of lawmakers called the Problem Solvers Caucus. Howard has tried to challenge him from the right, creating a primary race that showed some momentum behind the more extreme wing of the Republican Party in South Dakota.
That intraparty conflict has been fought across a slate of legislative primary races where Republicans have launched attack ads against each other. Establishment Republicans are trying to weed out a group of contrarian lawmakers who have pushed the Legislature further right.
However, Republican voter Kim McKoy said Tuesday one thing was on her mind as she cast her vote: “Economy, economy, economy.”
She mostly voted against incumbents.
“I listen to these people talk and I’m like, ‘Do you care that people are struggling?’ I just don’t think they do,” she said. “I think they care about their causes and they’ve lost their minds.”
Primary voters defeated an amendment to the state constitution, proposed by Republican lawmakers, that would have placed a 60% vote threshold on ballot measures to raise taxes or spend more than $10 million within five years of enactment.
Democrat Joshua Matzner said he voted against the proposal because it would erode the power of citizens to change laws through the ballot.
“We prefer to be able to actually make a decision in our government,” he said. | https://wgno.com/news/politics/south-dakotas-noem-thune-repel-gop-challenges-from-right/ | 2022-06-08T14:49:38Z | https://wgno.com/news/politics/south-dakotas-noem-thune-repel-gop-challenges-from-right/ | true | 34 |

"Future Goals" Program Links Sports and Sustainability in Curaçao and Beyond
WILLEMSTAD, Curaçao, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In connection to the recent June 1 opening of the brand new Sandals Royal Curaçao, Sandals Resorts International (SRI) and its philanthropic arm, the Sandals Foundation, joined forces with the Netherlands' AFC Ajax team to launch Future Goals – a program that turns fishing nets sourced from the ocean and recycled plastic waste into soccer goals for children. Expanding opportunities for locals through the power of youth sports, particularly the beloved game known locally as football, the landmark partnership begins at primary schools across the Dutch Caribbean island, where MGR Niewindt College students received the first set of Future Goals last month ahead of the resort's opening.
"When it comes to our communities in the Caribbean, we have a great responsibility to take care of our islands and our people," said Adam Stewart, Executive Chairman of SRI. "Curaçao is a new island for Sandals and a new opportunity to expand our impact — and 'football' is the soul of the Caribbean. If we can give children the tools to play and in the process teach them about protecting our planet — that is a 'goal' in and of itself."
Fishing nets lost at sea, also known as ghost nets, make up nearly half of the world's 'plastic soup' – a term for the accumulation of waste, including plastic, that ends up in the ocean. To help mitigate this global concern, the Sandals Foundation and AFC Ajax have tapped into local Curaçaon plastic recycling company, Limpi, whose creative approach to plastic waste recycling and product development now includes the colorful Future Goals goal posts, which are made almost entirely of fishing nets collected from the sea and recycled plastic waste.
The first phase of the partnership includes plans to outfit four dozen elementary schools throughout the island of Curaçao with close to 100 Future Goals and more than 600 soccer balls provided by Adidas, and is complemented by a unique training program with AFC Ajax coaches at the helm. Coaches will mentor 'Future Coaches' recruited by the local Curaçao life skills program, Favela Street, on a robust eight-week curriculum for the children that will focus as much on technique as it does mindset in order to foster the next generation. Overarching plans for the Future Goals program include an island-wide tournament featuring all participating primary schools, as well as expansion into additional Caribbean islands, with the program to be adapted based on the unique scope of each destination.
"Ajax is on a mission to impact the future of football on a global level, starting with the youth, our next generation," said Edwin van der Sar, CEO AFC Ajax. "Together with Sandals Resorts and the Sandals Foundation, we are eager to facilitate impactful football programs for children in Curaçao and the rest of the Caribbean, realizing tomorrow's opportunities through today's fun."
Since its inception in 1981, Sandals Resorts has taken an unparalleled approach to supporting the communities where it operates. Through its philanthropic arm, the Sandals Foundation, the luxury all-inclusive resort company began its work in Curaçao – Sandals Resorts' seventh and newest Caribbean island – far ahead of Sandals Royal Curaçao's opening.

MOVIE TRAILERS
Paul Feig's Fairy Tale Film 'The School for Good & Evil' Teaser Trailer
by Alex Billington
June 8, 2022
Source: YouTube
"Welcome… we've been expecting you." Netflix has revealed the first teaser trailer for a film adaptation of a book series titled The School for Good & Evil, being directed by filmmaker Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, The Heat, Spy, Ghostbusters, A Simple Favor). The epic fantasy adventure is about a group of boys and girls that are taken to an institution where they are trained to become fairy tale-like heroes and villains. Based on the epic international best-selling series by Soman Chainani. The film stars Kerry Washington, Charlize Theron, Sophia Anne Caruso, Sofia Wylie, Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Flatters, Kit Young, Peter Serafinowicz, Rob Delaney, Mark Heap, Patti LuPone, and Rachel Bloom. The School for Good & Evil follows best friends Sophie and Agatha, who find themselves on opposing sides of a modern fairy tale when they’re swept away into an enchanted school where young heroes and villains are trained to protect the balance of good and evil. Oh yeah this definitely sounds cheesy and the footage doesn't look that exciting so far. It seems a bit like Maleficent mashed up with Harry Potter, for better or worse.
Here's the first teaser trailer (+ poster) for Paul Feig's The School for Good & Evil, from YouTube:
In the village of Gavaldon, two misfits and best friends, Sophie (Sophia Anne Caruso) and Agatha (Sofia Wylie), share the unlikeliest of bonds. Sophie, a lover of fairy tales, dreams of escaping her ordinary village life, while Agatha, with her grim aesthetic, has the makings of a real witch. Then one night under a blood red moon, a powerful force sweeps them away to the School for Good & Evil — where the true story of every great fairy tale begins. Yet something is amiss from the start: Sophie is dropped into the School for Evil, run by the glamorous and acid-tongued Lady Lesso (Charlize Theron), and Agatha in the School for Good, that's overseen by the sunny and kind Professor Dovey (Kerry Washington). According to the Schoolmaster (Laurence Fishburne), only true love's kiss can change the rules and send the girls to their rightful school. But when a dark and dangerous figure (Kit Young) with some mysterious ties to Sophie reemerges and threatens to destroy the school and the rulebook entirely — the only way to a happy ending is to survive the fairytale first. The School for Good & Evil is directed by filmmaker Paul Feig, of the films I Am David, Unaccompanied Minors, Bridesmaids, The Heat, Spy, Ghostbusters, A Simple Favor, and Last Christmas previously. The screenplay is by Vanessa Taylor, David Magee, Paul Feig, adapted from Soman Chainani's book series. Netflix will debut the film streaming starting September later this year. Who's in?

Matalan makes MASSIVE checkout change – and customers are all saying the same thing
BAFFLED shoppers have branded Matalan a shoplifters’ paradise after being told to remove their own security tags.
The clothing and homeware store is getting customers to take off the electronic devices themselves at self-service checkouts.
But punters believe it's an open invitation for thieves.
One confused shopper said: “Why on earth would Matalan want customers to remove their own security tags?
“Doesn’t this completely defeat the point of having security tags on clothes?!”
Another wrote on Twitter: “It appears Matalan now have self service checkouts complete with magnetic tag remover for convenient shoplifting.”
A third added: "In @matalan you have to take the security tags off yourself. FFS!”
And a fourth customer also chimed in: “In @matalan you legit have to take off the security tags and everything!”
Matalan bosses began installing self-service checkouts in its branches after lockdown.
Shoppers must now scan their own barcodes and dispose of coat hangers in a slot.
Most read in Money
A giant round magnet is also installed on the tills with a sign that reads: “Remove security tags here”.
The electronic tags and accompanying metal pins can then be dropped into another hole.
It comes as more than 100,000 signed a petition calling for the removal of self-service tills in Tesco. Disgruntled shoppers want to see the return of cashiers in the supermarket.
And Matalan customers feel the same.
Another angry punter raged: “The Matalan self service checkout makes ZERO sense???
“You’re making me scan, remove hangers, and security seals for FREE whilst an employee stands behind me telling me how to use the scanner?”
A second said: “Felt foxy in my outfit today until someone told me my jacket had the security tag still on. Couldn’t take it off quick enough.
"I blame self serve tills - Matalan give some people jobs you are minted."
Matalan declined to comment.

Methods to Estimate an internet business Valuation Financial
An online business value financial is known as a crucial element of a sale. Various brokers and investors make use of this tool to determine a value for an online business. The multiples connected with an online business fluctuate, depending on the type and strengths. The bigger the multiple, the more beneficial the business is definitely expected to become in the future. straight from the source To be able to calculate an online business’s value, you need to understand how the multiple is normally computed. You can find away more on this method simply by reading this particular article.
Small business owners take pride in the business and are generally often looking to sell. Software businesses normally sell for up to 3x the revenue associated with an affiliate organization. In addition , online business businesses may attract bigger multiples by using streamlined logistics and better relationships with suppliers. Perhaps the company is definitely an e-commerce business or not, its technology can make a huge difference during a economic valuation. Proven software can produce a difference, and coding guidelines can benefit sellers.
Using the discounted cash flow method is another way to approximation an online company value. DCF calculates the value of an investment through the anticipated cash flows later on, then subtracting a discount level. The result is an estimated return on investment designed for an online business. Cheaper cash flow measurements are also changed for pumpiing and period. Using this method, a business’ benefit can be determined quickly. However , it’s prudent used if the business has existed for a time. | http://www.theasian.asia/archives/113137 | 2022-06-08T15:04:33Z | http://www.theasian.asia/archives/113137 | true | 1 |
PRINCETON, N.J., June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Climate Central today announced the publication of a new peer-reviewed study and interactive mapping tool showing American coastal wetlands' resilience to climate change. The maps incorporate the study's findings to reveal precise locations where wetlands might survive rising seas either by migrating upland or by growing higher to stay above rising water levels.
But the study, published in Environmental Research Communications, finds that rising seas threaten to drown most coastal wetlands by 2100—despite their unique abilities to adapt—unless planners preserve enough adjacent land to accommodate migration, and nations reduce greenhouse gas emissions to slow the pace of global warming and sea level rise.
The southern Atlantic and Gulf coasts face the highest risks of wetlands loss by the end of this century. The risks are most acute in Louisiana (home to one-third of America's coastal wetlands), North Carolina, and Texas. Risks in California and Florida are magnified because their wetlands have limited undeveloped land to migrate to. Climate Central maps specifically identify where conservation efforts and climate action can reduce the loss of coastal wetlands, or in some cases allow them to expand, even as sea levels rise.
"Coastal wetlands are racing for survival against climate change. This research and the mapping tools it supports can help residents see where local and global actions can give their valuable wetlands the best chance of winning," Benjamin Strauss, CEO and chief scientist of Climate Central said.
Coastal wetlands reduce flooding and the impacts of storms in residential areas, provide vital wildlife habitat, naturally filter pollution, and store carbon. Tim Dillingham, executive director of the American Littoral Society said, "Rising seas mean more wetlands are giving way to open water, and their important benefits are disappearing with them. But these are resilient, dynamic systems. They can grow higher and even move into new areas, and we must take action to support them."
Counties with the most to gain or lose
Top ten U.S. counties where conserving land for wetlands migration makes the largest difference in the projected change (by percentage) in wetlands area by 2100, under a scenario of high emissions (RCP 8.5) and moderate wetlands growth rate.
For many coastal communities, preserving local wetlands is important to a broad range of stakeholders. Dr. Dale James, Ducks Unlimited director of conservation science and planning said, "Ducks Unlimited's wetland conservation efforts provide ecological, economic and societal benefits. We are making communities more sustainable and resilient by protecting and enhancing natural habitats that support tourism, outdoor recreation, the seafood and energy industries, as well as other important infrastructure vital to our country. These wetland ecosystems provide critical wildlife habitat as well as an improved quality of life for people through connection with nature."

Disney pulls blockbuster from French cinemas in streaming row
Paris – Disney will not release blockbuster animation “Strange World” in French cinemas, it said Wednesday, in protest against the country’s strict streaming rules.
Under French law, the company’s streaming platform, Disney+, would have to wait 17 months to show the movie after its release in cinemas, which had been due in November.
Disney told AFP it would instead send “Strange World” straight to streaming and skip cinemas entirely, confirming reports by movie website Deadline and French paper Les Echos.
Helene Etzi, Disney France president, told Les Echos that France’s rules were “unfair, constraining and poorly adapted to audience demands.”
“Strange World” is one of its most-anticipated releases of the year, with Jake Gyllenhaal voicing the lead character in the English version of the fantasy adventure tale.
France has tried to prevent streaming platforms from undermining its large cinema network and the TV stations — notably Canal Plus — that finance many of its films and get a shorter wait for prime releases.
The National Federation of French Cinemas said it “protested with the greatest vigour against Disney’s desire to deprive the French of its Christmas animated film.”
The debate over how long to wait between cinema and streaming releases has also been fierce in Hollywood — though with much shorter delays being considered.
After trying various strategies at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, the US industry has settled on 45 days as the optimum gap.
Scarlett Johansson sued Disney last year for loss of earnings after it released “Black Widow” simultaneously to cinemas and streamers.
Director Denis Villeneuve said the same move by Warner Bros for his sci-fi blockbuster “Dune” showed “absolutely no love for cinema”.
Even a 45-day window was reportedly not enough for Tom Cruise, who is rumoured to have launched legal action against Paramount to get a longer delay for his next “Mission: Impossible” instalment next year.
So far, Disney has no plans to pull “Lightyear” from French cinemas — the “Toy Story” spin-off is due later this month.
But the fate of other massive productions — including sequels to “Black Panther” and “Avatar” — rests in the balance.
“We continue to evaluate the situation film by film and country by country,” said Disney’s Etzi. | https://www.iraqinews.com/business/disney-pulls-blockbuster-from-french-cinemas-in-streaming-row/ | 2022-06-08T15:21:49Z | https://www.iraqinews.com/business/disney-pulls-blockbuster-from-french-cinemas-in-streaming-row/ | true | 7 |
Here are five key takeaways from the June 7, 2022 primary election:
1) Quality of life issues matter. If voters, no matter how liberal, feel unsafe, they will vote for change.
The biggest national story coming out of Tuesday’s primary election is the landslide recall of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin.
A liberal reformer who sought to reduce incarceration rates, Boudin lost when Democrats decided they had had enough. Boudin was not just recalled in wealthy San Francisco neighborhoods like Pacific Heights and the Marina, but also in Chinatown, Bayview and the Tenderloin, where rampant drug sales, burglaries and homeless encampments have made life miserable for many.
His loss is a setback for progressive justice reform efforts across the nation and a reminder for Democrats heading into a very difficult November election that voters in many areas will support gun safety laws and police reforms, but if they perceive a breakdown in order and a risk to their own safety, they will draw a line.
2) It’s nearly impossible to win office as an independent
Two prominent independents had high hopes for statewide office going into Tuesday’s California primary election. Anne Marie Schubert, Sacramento County’s district attorney, had hoped to finish in the top two in the state attorney general’s race to take on incumbent Democrat Rob Bonta in November. But she finished a distant fourth.
So did Michael Shellenberger, a Berkeley environmentalist and author who raised $1 million. He hoped as an independent to edge out Republican nominee Brian Dahle in the governor’s race and challenge Gavin Newsom in November. He ended the night with 3%.
What’s the problem? The public may not love the Republican and Democratic parties. But the parties have hundreds of volunteers. They have voter lists, budgets, phone banks, pollsters, allies in non-profit groups and name recognition.
It’s nearly impossible to break through that and get noticed by voters in a state as big as California when you aren’t part of either tribe and don’t carry the familiar R or D label.
3) Not so fast on California’s hard turn to the right on law and order.
National pundits will say that Boudin’s resounding loss in San Francisco means that California voters are turning more conservative.
Perhaps, but probably not.
Republicans haven’t won any statewide office in California since 2006. Their standard-bearer, Donald Trump, lost in a 30-point landslide to Joe Biden two years ago. Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-to-1 in party registration. It’s a very blue state.
Polls show Republicans are on the opposite side of most major issues that California voters care about, from guns to immigration to climate change to taxes.
Rob Bonta, a liberal who was appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom as attorney general last year after Xavier Becerra left to join the Biden Administration, easily won the most votes in his race Tuesday.
In Alameda County, progressive reformer and civil rights attorney Pamela Price also won the most votes in the race for district attorney to succeed the retiring Nancy O’Malley.
In the Los Angeles mayor’s race, former Republican Rick Caruso, a billionaire developer and former Republican, edged Democratic congresswoman Karen Bass narrowly in the race for mayor with 40% to 38%.
But that may be a ceiling for him. In the November general election, the other candidates, most of whom were liberal Democrats, are likely to endorse Bass. Despite his success getting to the finals with lots of advertising and promises to add more cops and clean up homeless encampments, Caruso will have to find 10 more points in a largely blue city.
Nearly 20 years ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger showed it can be done. But just like it’s hard for liberals to win in Utah, it’s not easy for conservatives to win in California’s coastal cities.
4) The next election won’t be as boring.
In five months, California voters will face some major ballot issues with tens of millions of dollars in campaigning and ads behind them, from legalizing sports betting to possibly an increase in the minimum wage to $18 to a crackdown on plastic pollution and a ban on flavored tobacco products.
Close congressional races in the Central Valley and Southern California could center on whether the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade.
Control of the House and Senate will be at stake. And if Gavin Newsom wins re-election easily to a second-term as governor, as expected, talk of a presidential run in 2028, or even 2024 will grow.
5) But turnout Tuesday was low and that’s not good for Democrats heading into the midterms in November.
When turnout is low, older, whiter, more conservative voters make up a larger percentage of the electorate than younger, more diverse voters who tend to vote more Democratic.Even though California has passed numerous laws in recent years to make it easier to vote — mailing every registered voter a ballot, allowing same day registration, putting drop boxes all over the state — turnout in today’s election is likely to be so low that three out of four registered voters didn’t bother to participate.
For Republicans looking to take back Congress, that’s good news. Their voters are more loyal and show up more often. For Democrats looking to hold back a red wave in November, something has to change. Because storm clouds are on the horizon.

The sickness absence rate climbed to 3.1% in 2021 – equivalent to 7.3 days per employee – as more than four in 10 UK employers feel sickness absence at their organisation is too high.
The sickness absence rate recorded by XpertHR reached its highest level since 2009, after it fell to 2.2% at the height of the pandemic in 2020 – which was a 15-year low.
Absence per employee costs each employer an annual average of £781 in sick pay and lost productivity, the research found.
The rate of absence varied by industry. In private sector organisations where working from home was more viable, for example in finance and information/communications, the figure was 3%. In more public facing roles such as retail and wholesale the absence rate was 3.3%.
In the public sector, the sickness absence rate in 2021 was notably higher at 4.4%.
XpertHR suggested that the lifting of measures to stem the spread of Covid-19 in the second half of 2021 contributed to an increase in sick days. In 2020, the rate was much lower as homeworking, shielding and furlough reduced infections and sick leave.

Impact of Covid on sickness absence in past year laid bare
Respondents to XpertHR’s survey, which involved 149 employers with a combined workforce of 155,682, were also asked how they felt about the sickness absence rate in their organisation. Forty-three per cent felt their absence levels were too high, and 67% felt unable to gather the data needed to effectively manage absence.
XpertHR’s senior HR practice editor Noelle Murphy said: “High absence rates can have a huge impact on the functioning of a business. It can leave companies under-staffed, often piling on the pressure on those employees who are present which in and of itself is very unhealthy and unsustainable.
“We also know that proactively managing sickness absence can drive down rates of absenteeism. The starting point for this is accurate and robust data. Collecting data will prove useful for identifying trends and helping HR departments manage sickness absence, but many HR professionals have expressed difficulty in doing this.
“Just 54 of the 149 organisations surveyed were able to provide data on absence cost. This is an issue because, where HR departments can help control or reduce the often significant cost of sickness absence, they can demonstrate that they are making a strong strategic contribution to the organisation.
“Data for measuring sickness absence costs needs to be easily accessed, not least to ensure there remains a focus on effectively managing sickness absence rates.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AERO Sustainable Material Technology is proud to announce that their satin-matte finishes are enhancing the newest 2022 Land Rover Defender as well as the 2021 model – winner of the 2021 World Car Design of the Year at the Annual World Car Awards. AERO satin-matte finishes are one of a kind; composed of a unique surface structure that is inherently satin-matte by design, with no additives needed, enabling a lasting quality finish. Traditional, spray-application paints require additives to achieve a matte look, which risks staining and extensive maintenance. AERO enables motor vehicle companies like Jaguar Land Rover to deliver a lasting finish with ultra-durability and self-healing properties, while reducing its environmental impact.
"The Land Rover Defender is known for its all-terrain capabilities and off-road style, and AERO finishes provide earth friendly durability" - Jim McGuire, CEO of AERO Sustainable Material Technology, Inc.
The environmental impact of AERO's product life cycle is radically less damaging than traditional paint.
Manufacturing and application of traditional paint requires significant energy and resources, while generating harmful pollutants, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Additionally, traditional assembly lines use large volumes of water—particularly during exterior decoration.
It is estimated that paint is likely responsible for up to 2.25 million tons of microplastic entering the ocean each year - that's equivalent to 225 billion empty plastic bottles. AERO technology does not particulate, so will not contribute to increasing levels of ocean pollution. AERO finishes produce zero CO2, are free from VOCs, PVC, and solvents, while requiring zero water during manufacturing, application, and usage. Traditional paint is also far heavier than AERO, requiring more fuel usage, which therefore produces higher CO2 emissions still.
By generating lower application costs, while requiring little to no capital expenditure, AERO can accelerate throughput times and enable broader options in custom color and finish, including contrast roof and contrast bonnet options. For companies like Jaguar Land Rover, AERO enhances positioning as an aspirational brand, increases customizability, reduces cost, and reduces environmental impact.
AERO is a game changer in the automotive, marine, motorsports, wind energy, and architectural industries. https://aerotechnology.com/about/

A Place in the Sun’s Scarlette pays tribute to Channel 4 co-star ‘Keeping me going’
A PLACE IN THE SUN PRESENTER Scarlette Douglas has paid a moving tribute to her Channel 4 co-star and brother Stuart Douglas.
Flipping Fast: Couple devastated at profit made from renovation
Scarlette Douglas rose to fame on the travel property programme A Place in the Sun. However, more recently the property expert has teamed up with her brother Stuart Douglas as they launched two very different Channel 4 property programmes. Last month, the dynamic duo made their debut alongside George Clarke with Flipping Fast, and later this year, they will launch another makeover show called Worst House on the Street.
Worst House on the Street will see Scarlette and Stuart helping couples and families to transform and makeover their homes.
The show will see the siblings travel across the UK as they visit the properties at different stages of the transformation.
Not only is Scarlette working on Flipping Fast, Worst House on the Street and A Place in the Sun, but she has also been filming for another solo property show called My Dream Derelict Home in the Sun.
Her work schedule may be hectic, but the 32-year-old admitted that her brother has been keeping her going.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, Scarlette paid a sweet tribute to her brother as she opened up about her gruelling filming schedule.
“Stuart is keeping me going because he's always excited and happy,” she began before adding: “And anytime I'm like, ‘I don't think I can do this,’ he just brings me back up.
“So, it's just kind of having the right people around you that can get you through.
“But it's great, I love what I do, and I love my job. They're all very different but I wouldn't change it for the world, I really wouldn't.”
Stuart may not be used to the limelight like his sister, but he has worked alongside Scarlette as they continue to run their own property business.
When discussing how he is coping with being in the public eye, Scarlette joked: “He’s not letting it go to his head at all.
“But I think what's great for Stuart is that he's come in straight away as a primetime presenter.
“I've obviously done all the daytime stuff and it's a very different ballgame, that's for sure. So, he's just coming in loving it.”

Scarlette went on to discuss the chaos of filming abroad for A Place in the Sun and My Dream Derelict House in the Sun in 2020.
The expert said she spent four months driving across from France and Spain to film for both shows, describing it as the “hardest thing I’ve ever done”.
To make matters worse, the presenter’s schedule was put on hold after she caught coronavirus in Spain.
"To kind of start-up last year, we couldn't really travel because of COVID-19 still and Brexit and all of that sort of stuff," she explained.
"I don't think I got started again until March time, but then when I did start with that I had [to film] A Place in the Sun.
"I also had My Dream Derelict Home in the Sun and Flipping Fast which started in April.
“Then later on we got Love it or List it that we started filming in July, and in August I got stuck in Spain with COVID-19 for two weeks.”
"When I looked at my diary for this year and at the end of last year I had a bit of a burnout," she admitted. "I had a bit of a meltdown.
"I thought I don't know how I'm going do this, but by the grace of God and a lot of vitamins...a lot of water, it is kind of getting me through."
A Place in the Sun airs weekdays at 3pm on Channel 4 and Worst House on the Street is expected to air in September. | https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1622616/A-Place-in-the-Sun-Scarlette-Douglas-tribute-Stuart-Douglas | 2022-06-08T15:26:25Z | https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1622616/A-Place-in-the-Sun-Scarlette-Douglas-tribute-Stuart-Douglas | false | 1 |

Bison produce very lean meat, but they are wild animals that can be difficult to raise on a farm. Cattle are very docile, but their meat can be high in fat and not very healthy.
That's why proponents of a crossbreed — called beefalo — say they have what should be the future of U.S. meat production.
"As we like to say, when they created beefalo, they bred out the meanness but kept the leanness of the bison, so kept the good qualities of the bison," said Kelly Dietsch.
She and her husband, Andrew Dietsch, run A&K Ranch in Raymondville, Mo., where they have about 25 beefalo females that they attempt to calve every year.
The bovine is bred to include more cattle traits than bison. The American Beefalo Association says beefalo with 37.5% bison genes are considered full-blood beefalo and the perfect mix for the breed. But bovines with as low as 18% bison genes are labeled purebred beefalo.
While there was some unintentional cross-breeding between cows and bison over the centuries, it wasn't until the 1970s that a reliable, fertile crossbreed was produced. The intent was to get the lean meat of bison into an animal that could be raised as easily as a cow.
The Dietsches have found that to be the case. They used to raise cattle when they lived in New Jersey, but switched to beefalo when they moved to the Midwest.
"I like doing the beefalo because they are a lot easier to work with," Andrew Dietsch said.
But it's the quality of the meat that will bring more ranchers on board, according to John Fowler, an American Beefalo Association board member.
"If I can get a person who has a crossbred herd and put a beefalo bull in his herd and have him eat some of the meat, he's sold. He'll want to produce the beefalo," he said.
Fowler, who also raises beefalo in northern Missouri, calls it a superior animal compared to cattle. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has certified beefalo as having higher vitamin levels and more protein, while having nearly one-third less cholesterol, 79% less fat and 66% fewer calories than conventional beef.
But beefalo does have its opponents.
"We just don't think there should be beefalo," said Martha McFarland, farmland viability coordinator for the advocacy group Practical Farmers of Iowa. She also raises cattle and bison, but said she would never mix the two.
"Nature did just fine producing bison. It's an excellent animal that also is good to eat, and mixing it with cows is not necessary and weakens the genetic line of the bison."
Yet McFarland does empathize with beefalo producers, who are trying to raise, promote and sell a niche meat, just as she does with bison.
"A lot of times it's hard to find that middleman to get my meat into the grocery store. I'm not part of this huge, mechanized system," she said. "My challenge is your average consumer wants to just, like, go to the grocery store and pick up some food and be done with it."
Kelly and Andrew Dietsch sell most of their beefalo at three farmers markets, where they've gained loyal customers who have come to prefer the lean meat. But beefalo isn't in many grocery stores, and it also costs more than beef, largely because it comes from small producers.
Even so, the Dietsches are optimistic about the future of the specialty meat. Andrew Dietsch points to new leadership on the American Beefalo Board, as well as Americans' growing interest in where their food comes from.
"It's competitive, but it's a lot better than it used to be," he said. "They have some new people [on the board] that have a lot of good ideas. They are really reaching out there. They have a Facebook page, and you can find beefalo all over the country."

PRINCETON, N.J., June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Climate Central today announced the publication of a new peer-reviewed study and interactive mapping tool showing American coastal wetlands' resilience to climate change. The maps incorporate the study's findings to reveal precise locations where wetlands might survive rising seas either by migrating upland or by growing higher to stay above rising water levels.
But the study, published in Environmental Research Communications, finds that rising seas threaten to drown most coastal wetlands by 2100—despite their unique abilities to adapt—unless planners preserve enough adjacent land to accommodate migration, and nations reduce greenhouse gas emissions to slow the pace of global warming and sea level rise.
The southern Atlantic and Gulf coasts face the highest risks of wetlands loss by the end of this century. The risks are most acute in Louisiana (home to one-third of America's coastal wetlands), North Carolina, and Texas. Risks in California and Florida are magnified because their wetlands have limited undeveloped land to migrate to. Climate Central maps specifically identify where conservation efforts and climate action can reduce the loss of coastal wetlands, or in some cases allow them to expand, even as sea levels rise.
"Coastal wetlands are racing for survival against climate change. This research and the mapping tools it supports can help residents see where local and global actions can give their valuable wetlands the best chance of winning," Benjamin Strauss, CEO and chief scientist of Climate Central said.
Coastal wetlands reduce flooding and the impacts of storms in residential areas, provide vital wildlife habitat, naturally filter pollution, and store carbon. Tim Dillingham, executive director of the American Littoral Society said, "Rising seas mean more wetlands are giving way to open water, and their important benefits are disappearing with them. But these are resilient, dynamic systems. They can grow higher and even move into new areas, and we must take action to support them."
Counties with the most to gain or lose
Top ten U.S. counties where conserving land for wetlands migration makes the largest difference in the projected change (by percentage) in wetlands area by 2100, under a scenario of high emissions (RCP 8.5) and moderate wetlands growth rate.
For many coastal communities, preserving local wetlands is important to a broad range of stakeholders. Dr. Dale James, Ducks Unlimited director of conservation science and planning said, "Ducks Unlimited's wetland conservation efforts provide ecological, economic and societal benefits. We are making communities more sustainable and resilient by protecting and enhancing natural habitats that support tourism, outdoor recreation, the seafood and energy industries, as well as other important infrastructure vital to our country. These wetland ecosystems provide critical wildlife habitat as well as an improved quality of life for people through connection with nature."
