PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia district attorney's office says an arrest warrant has been approved in the shooting death of one of the three people killed when gunfire broke out in an entertainment district in the city over the weekend.
Prosecutors said Wednesday that no information would be released until the individual was in custody in connection with the homicide of one of the two people believed to have been innocent bystanders hit by gunfire during Saturday night's shooting on South Street that also wounded 11 other people.
Officials lauded cooperation from residents and local businesses and said they hoped to “have a legal and factual basis to issue an arrest warrant for the second homicide in the next several days.”
Police on Tuesday released a photo of a person wanted in connection with the shooting who should be considered armed and dangerous.
Authorities have said the gunfire started with a fight between two people who then began firing a total of 17 shots at each other. One man, 34-year-old Gregory Jackson, was killed, and the other wounded; no charges are planned in that case since both had permits to carry and that shooting is considered self-defense, authorities said.
Authorities have said that the other two people killed, 27-year-old Alexis Quinn and an unidentified 22-year-old man, as well as many of the other people wounded by gunfire — who ranged in age from 17 to 69 — are believed to have been innocent bystanders.
Authorities earlier announced two arrests not connected with any of the deaths.
Quran Garner, 18, is charged with aggravated assault, assault of a law enforcement officer and weapons counts. Authorities allege that he was the person seen firing at others until an officer shot at him, wounding him in the hand, and he dropped his weapon and fled.
Rashaan Vereen, 34, faces charges including attempted murder, aggravated assault and conspiracy. The Defender Association of Philadelphia, representing Garner, declined comment; no attorney is listed for Vereen and a message couldn't be left at a number listed for him.
Officials have said another person who may have fired shots that night is also being sought but have released no information about who that might be or what charges that person might face. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/DA-announces-arrest-warrant-in-fatal-shooting-17228881.php | 2022-06-09T00:23:44Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/DA-announces-arrest-warrant-in-fatal-shooting-17228881.php | false | 11 |
Severe risk this evening... then again on Friday
MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) -
Severe storms have moved into our area from the NW, and they have a history of producing damaging wind. There’s a SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH for areas along and north of I-20 in the WTOK area until 10PM. This means that severe storms are possible, so make sure to have ways of getting an alerts that may be issued.
Thankfully, the storms have been weakening as they roll through our area. Hopefully, that trend continues and the Watch will end early. However, a cold front will cross our area overnight, and it could lead to showers and storms redeveloping by the AM commute time on Thursday. Thankfully, these shouldn’t be severe, but they’ll just lead to a rainy start to the day for some areas. Once the AM showers end, only isolated showers are possible (if any) by the afternoon. Slightly drier and cooler air will move in on a north wind behind the previously mentioned front...so it’ll be a tad cooler Thursday with highs near 90 degrees.
Friday, the front will remain stalled just south of our area, and there will be a potent complex of storms that could form and move into our area from the northwest. So, threatening weather is possible for the last day of the work week, and there’s a Slight Risk for Severe Storms in our area on Friday. Make sure to have ways of getting alerts. Rain cooled air will keep highs in the upper 80s, but that will be short-lived.
Saturday and Sunday, highs will climb back into the low 90s. There will be a chance for a few showers on Saturday, and only spotty showers are possible Sunday.
First Alert: Next week, an upper-level ridge of high pressure (or heat dome) will build over our area. This will mean high heat and humidity for us. Highs will reach the mid 90s, but the heat index values could reach up to 105 or hotter. Stay tuned for updates on this potential for dangerous heat.

Sciwind Biosciences to present Data from its GLP-1 and GIP Receptor Agonist Programs at The International Liver Congress(TM) EASL 2022
Published: Jun. 8, 2022 at 7:00 PM CDT|Updated: 25 minutes ago
HANGZHOU, China and SAN FRANCISCO, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sciwind Biosciences Co., Ltd., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focusing on discovering and developing innovative therapies to treat metabolic disease, today announced that two abstracts have been accepted for poster presentations at The International Liver CongressTM 2022, the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Studies of the Liver (EASL) taking place June 22-26 in London, United Kingdom. During the meeting, data from a combination study of Sciwind's long-lasting GLP-1 peptide analog XW003 and GIP peptide analog XW017 in an obese mouse model and preclinical pharmacology data for the oral small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist XW014 will be featured in two poster presentations.
"We are excited to have an opportunity to present the recent data from our GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist programs at this prestigious international conference," said Xinle Wu, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of Sciwind. "We believe that these data lend strong support to Sciwnd's long-term strategy to develop more efficacious, better tolerated and more convenient treatment options for patients living with metabolic disease."

About XW003
Injectable GLP-1 analogs are effective tools in managing type 2 diabetes, obesity, and have demonstrated clinical potential as a treatment for NASH. XW003 is a novel, biased long-lasting GLP-1 peptide analog optimized for improved biological activity, cost-effective manufacturing, and once weekly dosing. XW003 has been shown to be safe and well tolerated in Phase 1 clinical study. Phase 2 studies are underway to study XW003 as a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
About XW014
XW014 is a small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist with the potential to be dosed orally once a day. Compared with GLP-1 peptide analogs, this small molecule agonist is easier to manufacture and formulate for oral dosing. As a small molecule, XW014 has the potential to be co-formulated with other oral drugs of complementary mechanisms to create more effective combination treatments for obesity, type 2 diabetes, and NASH. XW014 is slated to enter clinical trials in Q3 2022.
About XW017
In combination with GLP-1 analogs, injectable GIP receptor agonists have demonstrated improved glycemic control, as well as more profound weight loss, in clinical trials. XW017 is a novel, long-lasting GIP peptide analog optimized for biological activity and in vivo stability. It has the potential to be co-formulated with GLP-1 analogs to generate more effective combination treatments for obesity, type 2 diabetes, and NASH. XW017 is anticipated to enter clinical trials in 1H 2023.

Protestors wearing 'Free Assange' t-shirts arrested by police on The Mall outside Buckingham Palace moments before start of Queen's Party at the Palace celebrations
Police have arrested protestors wearing 'Free Assange' t-shirts on The Mall just a stone's throw away from Buckingham Palace right before the start of the Queen's Platinum Party at the Palace Jubilee celebrations.
Eight officers surrounded one man who was being held down on the ground while being handcuffed.
Another man wearing a Guy Fawkes mask was seen being apprehended by police officers in the same spot.
A sign could be seen right beside the scuffle, which read 'Free Assange'. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been in maximum-security Belmarsh Prison since April 2019 for conspiracy to commit computer intrusion.
It happened on the side of The Mall, where hundreds of thousands of people have come out to catch a glimpse of the star-studded line-up for the Queen's Platinum Party at the Palace.
Senior royals and many of the country's leaders are in attendance not far from where the arrest was made, sat in the Royal Box as they watch the performances.
The Queen brought the house down at her own Platinum Jubilee party when she was joined for a cream tea by a national treasure - Paddington Bear.
For the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony, James Bond famously made an appearance with the Queen - and now it was the turn of everyone's favourite Peruvian bear - who was filmed alongside the monarch.
The Queen revealed she shares Paddington's love of marmalade sandwiches and keeps an emergency stash in her trademark handbag.
The film was shown as the star-studded party in the shadow of Buckingham Palace began, and the Queen and her furry guest had a novel way of introducing the first act - tapping out the beat of Queen's We Will Rock You on China teacups.
Queen guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor paid tribute to the monarch, who did not attend the party, before they took to the stage, describing her as an 'incredible woman' and hinting at the Paddington moment said she was a 'very good sport'.
Thousands queued in The Mall for much of the day for the musical tribute which will see Alicia Keys, Hans Zimmer, George Ezra, and Eurovision 2022 runner-up Sam Ryder take to the stage.
The Prince of Wales and Duke of Cambridge will also pay tribute to the Queen in front of 22,000 spectators and a television audience of millions.
The concert came at the end of a busy day that saw the royal family travel around the country joining people celebrating the Queen's 70-year reign. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2626621153555/protestors-wearing-free-assange-t-shirts-arrested-by-police-on-the-mall-outside-buckingham-palace-moments-before-start-of-queen-s-party-at-the-palace-celebrations | 2022-06-09T00:27:03Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2626621153555/protestors-wearing-free-assange-t-shirts-arrested-by-police-on-the-mall-outside-buckingham-palace-moments-before-start-of-queen-s-party-at-the-palace-celebrations | true | 3 |

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Nick Bosa spent his offseason away from the San Francisco 49ers enjoying his new boat and getting into even better shape than before rather than worrying about breaking the bank with his next contract.
After spending the voluntary portion of the offseason working out in Florida with his brother Joey and taking his new boat out on the water for his “extracurricular" activity, Bosa's return to the Niners this week for mandatory minicamp was a welcome sight.
Even though coach Kyle Shanahan said the team has not started negotiations on a new long-term deal with Bosa that could top $30 million a year in value, he expects Bosa to remain in San Francisco for the foreseeable future and Bosa has no concerns about the timing of any talks.
“I’ve just been focusing on getting better,” Bosa said. "I’ll let my agent worry about that.”
Bosa's value has only grown after he posted 15 1/2 sacks in the 2021 regular season and four more in the playoffs. The Niners already picked up his $17.9 million fifth-year option for 2023 and Bosa will likely look to come close to Aaron Donald's new $31.7 million a year price tag from his new deal with the Los Angeles Rams.
Bosa said he got leaner this offseason when he was able to focus on working out rather than rehabilitating following reconstructive knee surgery that sidelined him for almost the entire 2020 season.
“It was just a better overall offseason, because I was able to enjoy myself a little bit, because I wasn’t just grinding and then resting like I needed to for my knee," he said. “Now the knee is doing great. I’m able to go about my life normally, which is nice.”
Bosa's return from the knee injury provided a big boost to the Niners last season, giving the team the dominant pass rusher that was missing in 2020.
Bosa built on his Defensive Rookie of the Year season from 2019 when he had nine sacks in the regular season and four more in the playoffs by becoming one of the top defensive players in the game.
So his return to the team this week was a welcome sight.
“It’s great to have him here just around the guys,” defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans said. “That’s the biggest thing for Nick being around the guys, building that camaraderie during this time here in the offseason. It’s about those guys just working together, being out there, going to dinner together, whatever. As much time as they can spend together to become as tight as possible as a defensive unit and as a team, that’s what matters most and Nick is looking great.”
Bosa said he loved the depth the Niners added on the defensive line this offseason by bringing back Kerry Hyder Jr. after a one-year stint in Seattle, and the additions of free agents Kemoko Turay and Hassan Ridgeway.
The Niners also used a second-round pick on Drake Jackson and Bosa said the Niners may need to use a few extra roster spots to keep all the talented linemen.
Jackson has made an immediate impression on his more accomplished teammates and Bosa was particularly impressed by the way he is able to bend around the edges on his pass rushes.
“He’s super talented," Bosa said. "He does things out there that I definitely couldn’t do as a rookie, just the way he moves. He’s definitely got some impressive stuff about him.”

Every year at WWDC, Apple announces new versions of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS. But this is just a taste: The software doesn’t actually ship until fall, three months after the event.
If you’re impatient, you can download and install a developer beta that’s available the same day as the event. But this version of the software is usually a buggy mess, and installing it isn’t as easy as pressing the update button. The idea of using iOS 16, iPadOS 16, watchOS 9, or macOS Ventura three months before anyone else is alluring, but unless you have an Apple Developer account, you probably shouldn’t.
A developer account means business
A public beta is available to anyone who has an Apple account. But to install a developer beta, you need to have to be an Apple developer, an account that costs around $140 per year. That’s a good thing, and a good barrier.
A developer account means business, and so does the developer beta, at least at the beginning of beta testing. While all beta software is risky, since the software is not yet finished, the first developer beta is the riskiest bet of all: It’s the first version of the software available to a limited pool of testers, which means you’ll definitely run into bugs, both big and small. These issues can affect your device’s performance and battery life, and while they often range from amusing to annoying, some could interfere with your ability to use your device at all.
If one of these issues stops you from being able to use your device, you’ll need to restore it to a previous version of the software. Unless you have an archived backup of that software, that usually means a factory reset of your device. Any data that isn’t backed up elsewhere will be lost.
In short, this first beta is meant for a developer to test and create a new version of their app, not for the general public to install on their main iPhones, iPads, or Macs.
Anyone who isn’t a developer should wait for the public beta
The good news is Apple has a public beta program for anyone who isn’t a developer to get in on software testing, which will be available in early July. In that time, the betas’ bigger bugs will be squashed, battery life will (hopefully) stabilise, and the risk of losing all your personal data will be greatly reduced. Plus, you’ll be able to go through Apple’s official beta channels for free.
Only download beta profiles from Apple
That said, not everyone wants to wait for a public beta. If you are a developer, or even a curious soul who doesn’t care about the issues with an initial beta, go ahead and install it, but make sure to take a complete backup of your device first. And if you do install the developer beta, you should do so through an official Apple Developer account.
You’ll find many websites that will provide you with a developer profile as a direct download (or an IPSW file that you can manually restore using the Mac), but we suggest you stay away from them. While they might be legit, there’s no guarantee nor safety check. If the file is corrupted or contains malicious code, both your device and your personal information will be at risk.
According to the iOS Beta community on Reddit, Beta Profiles is a trusted source for beta profiles, but again, we recommend you stick with Apple’s developer website.
Here’s how you can install the iOS 16 or iPadOS 16 beta on your iPhone or iPad and how to install the macOS Ventura beta. You can install the watchOS 9 beta on your Apple Watch, but even with an official Apple account, we strongly discourage it. | https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2022/06/why-you-shouldnt-install-apples-betas-without-a-developer-account-yet/ | 2022-06-09T00:35:31Z | https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2022/06/why-you-shouldnt-install-apples-betas-without-a-developer-account-yet/ | true | 2 |
Knowing where to start when decorating the walls can be a challenge: too many colours, too many styles, and too much choice! It's a familiar problem, and many of us lack the confidence to choose the individual prints and decorations that we love, above the safer and more mainstream options. Now is the time to be brave and take control of your décor: don't be afraid to try something new, and find inspiration in these quirky examples of contemporary wall art.
These bird and plant prints from Witch and Watchman have no intention of fading into the background. Strong, rich hues of green and purple jump out from the stark white background; even the clearly defined blackbirds look confident and full of intent. Witch and Watchman's wallpapers are a fun twist on the farmhouse kitchen prints of the 40s and 50s, and this one is full of feature-wall potential.
This imaginative wallpaper is one of many designs from Graham Brown´s ‘illusions range'. Abandon plain, dreary walls and opt for something a bit more daring: these prints are specifically engineered to turn heads and cause some double takes!
If you're not ready to commit to making such a bold statement, take the more traditional approach and hang prints like these against a white backdrop. You could even frame sections of different wallpapers with prints that catch your eye for an arty, creative feel.
Why settle for a standard shelving unit when you could have a piece of art that doubles up as a bookshelf? This design is an easy way to bring some style to your walls and, even better, it's functional too. The maze-like pattern is simple and effective, and the glossy sheen gives it a contemporary look.
If you're going for a more mellow theme when designing the walls, take a look at this fantastic wall hanging by UK based designer Wendy Morrison. Wall hangings are perfect if you want to hide old, tired walls, or if you have large rooms and open plan spaces that require larger furnishings. Scenes with birds and plants provide an alternative to louder, abstract prints, and with just a few splashes of colour the room is transformed.
For a hint of trendy industrial chic at home, this tactile metal sculpture is what you need. The stretch of distorted diamonds leading off the solid block creates depth and perspective, and is a fun way to give the walls an edge—literally! | https://www.homify.co.uk/ideabooks/14592/creative-wall-art | 2022-06-09T00:37:39Z | https://www.homify.co.uk/ideabooks/14592/creative-wall-art | false | 1 |
Emma Raducanu is expected to be fit for Wimbledon following an injury scare this week.
The US Open winner had to retire from her first round match at the Nottingham Open after just seven games.
It was a blow to her preparations for Wimbledon later this month, but scans have revealed the injury is not serious.
“It was disappointing to go out this week with a side injury and unfortunately I will no longer be able to play in Birmingham,” Raducanu said.
“I’m looking forward to being back on the match court soon though to enjoy the rest of the grass season.”
It is the time time Raducanu has been forced to retire from a match with injury since winning the US Open in September, having also bowed out of matches in Guadalajara in February and Rome in May.
Judy Murray insisted that Raducanu’s body needs time to mature and that the process does not happen overnight.
Writing in The Telegraph, Murray said: “What’s becoming increasingly clear is that Raducanu’s body needs time to mature. If you strip away the fact she was catapulted into this amazing success following her US Open triumph last September, she is no different to any other young player in the sense that her body needs time to fill out, become more robust and resilient.
“It’s a process that simply doesn’t happen overnight, especially when the physical demands on her body are at an all-time high.”
Murray also questioned Raducanu’s team and believes all the marketing and sponsorship deals she has received may be at the detriment to her fitness.
She added: “Raducanu’s team will be mindful of all the savvy sponsorship deals and marketing campaigns she has astutely tapped into over the past eight months. They will no doubt bring her huge financial rewards, but at what cost to her body?
“I say this because as with most young players, it shouldn’t be a case of patching them up and preparing them for the next high-profile event just because a sponsor or a federation wants to ensure their branding is visible.
“I’ve seen it before – a sponsor might have a campaign to activate at the next slam, so they put pressure on the agent, who puts pressure on the coach, who in turn pressurises the fitness trainer to make sure the player is ready. But is that keeping the athlete’s best interests at heart?
“When athletes are so young, you can’t expect them to make those big decisions. They can get sucked into the short-term picture and of course it can be tempting to play in all these lucrative events. What’s more, they have to verbalise everything to a very much older team who are actually reliant on them for their salaries. That’s a really tough situation to be in.”

ATLANTA (AP) — A key aide to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. who helped sustain the civil rights movement in the 1960s says she’s deeply saddened by the hate crimes seeking to terrorize people across America.
But Xernona Clayton has been working for racial harmony since the movement began, and refuses to accept mass killings as routine.
“We’re having too many racial conflicts,” Clayton, 91, told The Associated Press during an interview in her office in Atlanta. “It’s so idiotic that we’ve had that racism in the first place. Because none of us had any say-so about how we got here.”
“My mind always goes back to what Martin Luther King would have said,” she said. “He always said, ‘You know, we CAN love each other.’ He said, ‘There’s just no reason why we can’t.’ And it was hard for him to understand why we don’t.”
King and his wife, Coretta Scott King, recruited Clayton and her first husband, Jet magazine editor Edward Clayton, to bring more money and attention to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an Atlanta-based civil rights organization whose first president was King. Already enlisting movie stars to host SCLC fundraisers, Xernona Clayton was reluctant to leave Southern California.
But the two women bonded as Clayton organized Ms. King’s national singing tour. Soon, she was securing care for bloodied protesters and calling her friends Sidney (Poitier), Harry (Belafonte) and Bill (Cosby) for bail money.
In 1966, Clayton learned that Atlanta’s Black doctors were restricted to one facility, Grady Hospital, and to just one day a week. “Wednesday was the day Black people would have their babies,” she recalled. “So I organized the doctors and told them, ‘We can do something about this.’”
She found a government ally who shared how much federal money was flowing to Atlanta’s segregated hospitals and took the doctors to Washington, scoring a White House visit. President Lyndon Baines Johnson had quietly encouraged such grassroots lobbying, and surprised her by insisting that hospitals nationwide had to desegregate before getting Medicare funding.
“I’m fearless, for the most part. You know, I’m not afraid to tackle an issue,” Clayton said. “I’ll fight for what is right.”
In an era when national news organizations — including the AP — covered civil rights with all-white staffs, her friend Ralph McGill, publisher of the Atlanta Constitution, had her speak to a television industry convention. She took them to task for their hiring. Atlanta’s CBS affiliate WAGA responded in 1967 by making her the first Black talk show host in the South.
While King’s assassination only months later convulsed the nation, Clayton and her guests provided audiences with a model for racial harmony. She even persuaded a Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan to renounce the white terror organization. They too became friends.
Barbara Walters recruited her for a network role, but Ted Turner hired her instead to set a tone of inclusiveness at Turner Broadcasting Service, which launched CNN. She served for years as Turner’s corporate vice president for urban affairs.
Clayton also started the Trumpet Foundation to celebrate African American achievers, and still works there amid mementos from a lifetime of activism when she’s not with her second husband, Paul L. Brady, the nation’s first Black federal administrative law judge. Her first husband died in 1966.
Clayton got her start as an “undercover agent” for the Chicago Urban League in the early 1950s, arranging job interviews only to be turned down when they saw her skin color. Confronted with proof of racism, Marshall Fields hired its first Black store employees.
“There’s something about a victory — winning is fun,” she recalled. “It gave me the assurance that I can make a change. And I still have that today, that I can make change. I CAN make change. I’ve MADE change.”
Born on Aug. 30, 1930, with her twin sister Xenobia, she was raised in segregated Muskogee, Oklahoma. Their father was a minister and Indian Affairs agent, so respected that the white police chief and mayor often came calling for guidance about the Black and Native American communities.
“He was a soft-spoken man, but softly he could make a change in a person’s life. And he did it to the authority: the police, the mayor, whatever. I often wonder if maybe I had some of that in my blood.”
She felt racism’s sting at what would become Tennessee State University, where she and her friends went for hamburgers one night in 1950.
“This guy was standing at the counter, he had a butcher knife, probably 3 feet long. I’d never seen a knife that big. But he said to us as we entered the door, ‘If you n——— don’t get out of here, I’ll cut your heads off! You know you don’t belong here!’ Scared us to death,” she recalled.
“It had a sign outside that says ‘hamburgers for sale,’ and ‘you don’t belong here?’” she said. “I still feel the pain, the embarrassment, the ridicule. I still feel it.”
Clayton earned a master’s in education at the University of Chicago, where marrying the editor of Jet put her at the center of Black culture and politics. She was by Edward Clayton’s side when he heard that the mother of Emmett Till, lynched in Mississippi, wanted the world to see his brutalized body. He stopped the presses to put the image on the cover, shocking the nation’s conscience and drawing widespread support for civil rights.
The couple then moved to Los Angeles, where Clayton said she did something “monumental.” Volunteering to take on 100 school dropouts, she discovered some just needed new clothes or hair curlers to return to class. Others were committing crimes, so she talked her way into gang meetings and urged them to study instead for corporate careers.
“And guess what? To this day, my pride and my chest stand big. Because I took 100 kids and got 82 of them back in school.”
It became her motto: “One person can make a difference. So don’t run away if you see a problem. See if there’s a way you can help,” she said. “I tell people all the time today, look around — there’s something you can do.” | https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/national-news/civil-rights-advocate-xernona-clayton-is-still-fearless/ | 2022-06-09T00:41:43Z | https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/national-news/civil-rights-advocate-xernona-clayton-is-still-fearless/ | false | 47 |

BOSSES at London Luton Airport have been showing the improvements they have made with connectivity to London in mind.
They have hosted Seb Dance, London’s Deputy Mayor for Transport and deputy chair of Transport for London, who met with senior management to discuss the airport’s recovery following the pandemic and its plans for future sustainable growth.
Mr Dance also met the airport’s passenger services, security and operations teams and was given a tour of the Luton DART Direct Air-Rail Transit, an automated people mover that will transport passengers from the terminal to Luton Airport Parkway railway station in under four minutes.
Mr Dance said: “I was pleased to visit Luton and see the new DART, which is a crucial development that is set to deliver vastly improved connectivity to those visiting our city. As London recovers from the pandemic, delivering high quality public transport connections is vital to boosting economic growth and encouraging visitors from around the world back to London.”
The Luton DART, which is due to open later this year, will reduce overall journey times between the airport and 22 stations across Greater London served by Luton Airport Parkway station. Eight trains an hour serve London St Pancras, with an express service every half-hour taking just 22 minutes. The DART project is being delivered by the airport’s owner Luton Rising.
“A sustainable approach is vital to the future success of the aviation industry and the Luton DART will see a significant amount of passenger traffic shifting from road to rail,” said Luton Rising’s chief executive Graham Olver. “This was an important opportunity to reaffirm our environmental commitments and the role the Luton DART will play in helping to deliver the Luton 2040 Carbon Neutral target.”
London Luton’s chief executive Alberto Martin added: “When it opens later this year, the DART will transform the passenger experience and create the fastest rail connection to Central London after Heathrow, helping us in our goal to support more sustainable modes of transport.” | https://businessmk.co.uk/articles/logistics/aviation/a-crucial-development-london-transport-chief-hails-airports-rapid-transit-link-ahead-of-opening/ | 2022-06-09T00:46:17Z | https://businessmk.co.uk/articles/logistics/aviation/a-crucial-development-london-transport-chief-hails-airports-rapid-transit-link-ahead-of-opening/ | true | 2 |

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Democrats on Wednesday braced for renewed Republican attacks on their management of crime across the U.S. after residents in San Francisco voted overwhelmingly to recall the city’s progressive district attorney, suggesting that even the party’s most loyal supporters are frustrated with the way in which violence and social problems are being addressed.
Chesa Boudin was swept into the district attorney’s office pledging to seek alternatives to incarceration, end the racist war on drugs and hold police officers to account. But the city’s longstanding problems with vandalism, open drug use and robberies proved too much for voters, who blamed him for making the situation worse.
While a single city race is hardly a barometer of the national mood, the rejection of Boudin by residents in the nation’s progressive epicenter carried symbolic significance for members of both parties. Republicans were emboldened by the vote, planning to highlight crime in several critical Senate races. At the White House, meanwhile, President Joe Biden acknowledged that the vote sent a “clear message” about public safety.
“Both parties have to step up and do something about crime as well as gun violence,” Biden said ahead of a trip to California, noting he sent “billions of dollars and encouraged them to use it to hire police officers and reforming police departments.”
“It’s time to move,” Biden continued. “It’s time that states and the localities spend the money they have to deal with crime as well as retrain police officers.”
The Democratic president’s tough-on-crime comments come as his party continues to face pointed attacks from Republicans about its commitment to public safety two years after progressive activists responded to the police murder of George Floyd by championing calls to “defund the police.” Biden has rejected such calls, as have the overwhelming majority of Democrats in Congress, yet polling suggests that voters have become increasingly likely to trust Republicans more than Democrats on public safety.
Republicans, pointing to the San Francisco election, signaled that they would continue to hammer vulnerable Democratic candidates in states like North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin for their record on crime or associations with the Black Lives Matter movement. While the economy is widely considered the central issue of this midterm season, Republicans believe a focus on crime will help them this fall, especially among suburban voters.
“The very first thing that I talk about everywhere we go is ending the war on our police, ending the war on cops,” said Andrew Giuliani, a Republican candidate for New York governor.
Public safety remains a potent political issue, even as the numbers suggest a more complicated reality.
Crime statistics for the first quarter of 2022, released by the FBI on Monday, suggest that a rise in violent crime is not the fault of either party’s criminal justice policies. Democratic-led cities such as Detroit, Fort Wayne and South Bend, Indiana, as well as Wichita, Kansas and Portland, Ore., listed fewer murders for the first quarter of 2022 than 2021. The same could be said for several cities with Republican mayors at the helm. The reverse also was true in a number of Democratic and Republican-led cities with several showing rises in violent crime rates and murders.
Still, Republicans have effectively convinced voters, in some cases, that Democrats are more to blame.
In June 2021, a Washington Post-ABC News poll showed that roughly the same number of U.S. adults trusted Democrats and Republicans to handle crime. But in April 2022, the same poll found that 47% trusted the Republican Party to do a better job handling crime, compared with 35% preferring the Democratic Party.
Republican pollster Gene Ulm said the perception that Democrats are weak on crime is pushing swing suburban voters toward the GOP in midterm elections across the country, even if crime is not a defining issue in the campaign.
“The Democrats have basically tattooed themselves with defund the police,” Ulm said. “It’s too late to change it.”
Republicans point to key Senate races in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, where they have already begun to attack Democrats on crime, sometimes relying on false charges.
In North Carolina, the Senate Republican campaign arm already launched two ads against Democratic nominee Cheri Beasley, a former state Supreme Court justice, for failing to protect victims of violent crime. The ads were removed by some local television stations for being inaccurate.
“Sheriffs from across North Carolina condemned these dishonest and despicable attacks because they know Cheri’s record: as a judge and chief justice, she partnered with law enforcement to keep North Carolina communities safe and hold violent offenders accountable,” campaign spokesperson Dory MacMillan said. “Washington Republicans are lying.”
Still, the GOP rhetoric is likely to persist. Republicans are also telegraphing weak-on-crime attacks against Wisconsin Democrat Mandela Barnes, a Senate candidate photographed holding a shirt critical of immigration officers; and Pennsylvania Senate nominee John Fetterman, who used his powers as lieutenant governor to help increase the number of pardons.
Campaign spokesman Joe Calvello noted that Fetterman has a history of confronting crime as the chief law enforcement officer of Braddock, Pa., where he served as mayor.
“Under John’s leadership, Braddock went five and a half years without a gun death,” Calvello said. “John not only has worked hand-in-hand with the police, but he knows what challenges our police force face and how to support them.”
Back in San Francisco, Boudin blamed his loss on “right-wing billionaires” who exploited understandable frustration over a pandemic and city government that has failed to deliver on basics.
Former Mayor Willie Brown also warned against reading too much into the recall, given that Boudin won election in 2019 with 36% of first-place votes in San Francisco’s ranked-choice system. On the same night as the recall, voters statewide overwhelmingly supported progressive state Attorney General Rob Bonta, who earned more than 50% of the vote and now advances to a runoff in November under California’s top-two primary system.
No candidate – Republican or Democrat — can ignore the public’s need to feel safe, Brown said.
“There is an absolute need for people to feel safer, and if they, the public, voter interprets your advocacy as not being sensitive to that component … they will probably not vote for you,” Brown said. “They will vote for somebody that does give them some level of comfort, that safety is as important as all the other factors.”
Beyond San Francisco on Tuesday night, a reform-minded progressive in Contra Costa County was keeping her seat while in Alameda County, which includes Oakland, the progressive favorite heads to a runoff against a long-time prosecutor in November for an open seat being vacated by a more traditional law-and-order district attorney.
Ludovic Blain, executive director of the California Donor Table, which seeks to elect progressive candidates, pointed out that the population of Contra Costa and Alameda counties dwarfs the size of San Francisco, which is under 900,000.
“If we were to look at one election to decide whether Democrats are vulnerable or not, it wouldn’t be the San Francisco one,” he said.

People affected by Britain’s atomic experiments have asked for formal recognition for nuclear test veterans in their first ever official meeting with a prime minister.
A group including a nuclear bomb test veteran, a widow and four descendants told Boris Johnson about their experiences of the tests and the debilitating health problems they suffered as a consequence.
Mr Johnson said the veterans should be recognised for their service and ministers will explore how to mark their dedication.
Alan Owen, founder of the Labrats International charity for atomic test survivors, told the PA news agency: “We met with him and he looked us in the eye and we told him why these men deserve recognition.
“We’re the only country in the world that has not given formal recognition.
“Everybody else has, including the Isle of Man, Fiji, New Zealand, America, France.
“It’s just 70 years of denial by the MoD (Ministry of Defence) to not recognise what happened; it’s not taught in schools, there’s no education”.
The campaigners are also calling for “research into the descendants who suffer lots of genetic problems and birth defects”, Mr Owen said.
Mr Owen’s own father was at Christmas Island during nuclear testing in 1962 and died from heart conditions at the age of 52.
His sister was born blind in one eye, his elder brother died aged 31, and Mr Owen recently suffered a cardiac arrest.
John Morris, the veteran at the meeting, has previously spoken of how he and other low-ranking personnel were used as “human guinea pigs” during Grapple bomb tests at Christmas Island, leaving him to fight prostate cancer and anaemia later in life and lose a child to sudden infant death syndrome.
Mr Morris, 84, who witnessed four nuclear bombs in 1957, and his wife were arrested on suspicion of murder after their son was found dead in his cot. It was later found that the boy had deformed lungs.
Mr Morris, of Rochdale, told the Daily Mirror: “We protected this country by providing the nuclear deterrent, but we’ve been let down by successive governments.
“My wife and I were arrested on suspicion of murder, and I’ve had a lifetime of worry and illness. I had blood and urine taken which his not in my medical records, and I’ve been refused a war pension.”
The newspaper reported that Mr Johnson said that if records had been hidden away “like in The Raiders Of The Lost Ark, or stuff is being stashed in a vault or wherever, by the British government, that needs to be sorted out”.
The Prime Minister said: “These veterans epitomise the true meaning of service, and their selfless commitment has allowed us to enjoy the very freedoms we have today.
“I know I speak for the nation when I express my immense gratitude to those involved in our nuclear testing programme, who have made significant contributions to our national security both then and now.
“It is only right that they are recognised for their service, and I have asked ministers to explore how their dedication can be marked.”
Campaigners gave Mr Johnson a deadline of October to resolve the issue.
Susie Boniface, a journalist who has long reported on the ex-servicemen’s campaign for justice and was at the 40-minute meeting, said the Prime Minister vowed to investigate possible crimes committed by the state against its own servicemen, to open up archives and to reconsider the campaigners’ demand for a medal to mark the Plutonium Jubilee, the 70-year milestone since the first British nuclear test in October 1952.
She told PA: “We’ve been campaigning for a medal since 2018 and they’ve been turned down three times because the medal committee said there was no risk and rigour to their service.”
“We also discussed … the fact that (US President) Joe Biden is giving a medal to America’s nuclear test veterans, including possibly British servicemen who were at the American tests on the instruction of our Government,” she added.
Approximately 20,000 British soldiers, mostly conscripts, witnessed hundreds of atomic tests and were exposed to radiation.
The most notorious was the Operation Grapple Y in 1958 which was over 100 times more powerful than the bombs which levelled Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
There are an estimated 1,500 surviving ex-servicemen of the experiments.
The meeting in Westminster came following a request from Labour MP Rebecca Long-Bailey, with Conservative MP Sir John Hayes, patron of the BNTVA charity for atomic veterans, also participating. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/politics/4390944/nuclear-test-veterans-demand-recognition-at-first-meeting-with-prime-minister/ | 2022-06-09T00:51:51Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/politics/4390944/nuclear-test-veterans-demand-recognition-at-first-meeting-with-prime-minister/ | true | 2 |
JUAREZ, Mexico (Border Report) – The mayor of Juarez on Wednesday invited residents of El Paso and Southern New Mexico to visit his city’s annual arts and entertainment fair, which begins on Thursday night.
He also said “it’s not a priority” of his administration to censor the artists who will perform at the event nor fine them for singing songs alluding to drug traffickers. At least two performers face fines in Chihuahua City for performing the so-called narco-corridos at the recently concluded Santa Rita Fair, local media reported.
The ban is part of efforts by the Mexican government and the state of Chihuahua to reduce drug violence that has reached record levels south of the border in the past three years. But the songs about people of humble beginnings achieving status, getting even with past oppressors and flooding America with drugs have proven resilient. Juarez radio stations still air them and people dunk dollar bills into jukeboxes at bars to hear them.
“It’s not convenient, it’s not realistic to ban certain songs,” Mayor Cruz Perez Cuellar said. “I know there are some laws and authorities at certain levels interested in applying them, but as far as we’re concerned, it’s not a priority.”
The mayor said his main concern is ensuring the safety of the Mexican and foreign visitors to Feria Juarez 2022, and he plans to do that by deploying 300 police and 200 traffic officers to the event that will run from June 9 through July 3.
“If banning these songs were the answer to end insecurity, great. But we want people to enjoy themselves, (we want) each artist to sing whatever they are known for,” Perez Cuellar said. “We respect if state authorities have their own vision on the subject, but it’s not a priority for us. […] We are free.”
Asked by Border Report if he could guarantee the safety of American residents who attend the event at the park with the big red “X” just south of the Bridge of the Americans, the mayor said he would do his best.
“Though we cannot guarantee anything 100 percent, we will commit police, traffic and civil protection officers so that everything goes well,” Perez Cuellar said. “We want to invite people from El Paso and Las Cruces, and the entire region to visit us. It’s going to be a great show.”
Pop artists like Gloria Trevi, Kumbia Kings and Afrojack are scheduled to perform. Most of the other artists are Mexican regional bands.
Roberto Briones, the city’s Civil Defense Office director, said free buses would run nightly from Juarez City Hall, just south and east of the Paso del Norte Bridge, to the fairgrounds. He encouraged people who want to drink to take those buses from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. because Chihuahua just passed a law limiting drivers’ blood-alcohol level to .025. That’s about two beers.
“You can bring a designated driver, you can ask your spouse to drive, because we don’t want to have accidents,” Briones said.
Juarez officials are asking fairgoers to bring a mask to the fair because, even though it’s not mandatory outdoors, the fair has some indoor attractions where it should be worn.
This year’s fair will have a circus and 43 mechanical games including a 45-meter tall (147 feet) Ferris wheel. More than 100 merchants and artisans will be selling their wares; at least 80 food vendors will be on hand.
Admission is $2.50 and parking is free, though rides and concerts are extra. Perez Cuellar said parking attendants would be on hand to guard the vehicles against vandalism. They can be tipped at the vehicle owner’s discretion. | https://fox5sandiego.com/news/border-report/juarez-wont-ban-narco-corridos-at-annual-city-fair/ | 2022-06-09T00:54:13Z | https://fox5sandiego.com/news/border-report/juarez-wont-ban-narco-corridos-at-annual-city-fair/ | false | 18 |

Credit Suisse, together with its subsidiaries, provides various financial services in Switzerland, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Americas, and Asia Pacific. The Company offers private banking and wealth management solutions, including advisory, investment, financial planning, succession planning, and trust services, and financing and lending, and multi-shore platform solutions.
Credit Suisse has a history of business dealings with Russian oligarchs, or ultra-high net worth business leaders possessing significant political influence. For example, an article published by Financial Times on February 7, 2022, entitled "Credit Suisse securitizes yacht loans to oligarchs and tycoons", cited a recent investor presentation for a synthetic securitization deal, in which Credit Suisse sold off $80 million worth of risk related to a $2 billion portfolio of loans backed by assets owned by certain of the bank's ultra-high net worth clients (the "Securitization Deal"), which disclosed that, in 2017 and 2018, Credit Suisse experienced 12 defaults on yacht and aircraft loans, a third of which were related to U.S. sanctions against Russian oligarchs. Press reports at the time indicated that Russian billionaires Oleg Deripaska, Arkady Rotenberg, and Boris Rotenberg had to terminate private jet leases with Credit Suisse in those years.
Beginning in or around October 2021, Russia commenced a major military build-up near the Russo-Ukrainian border, in apparent preparation for an invasion of Ukraine. Although the Russian government repeatedly denied it had plans to invade or attack Ukraine, the U.S. later released intelligence of Russian invasion plans, including satellite photographs showing Russian troops and equipment near the Russo-Ukrainian border.
In November 2021, as Russia's military buildup on the Russo-Ukrainian border continued, the Company entered the Securitization Deal.
Just months later, on February 24, 2022, Russian military forces invaded Ukraine. In the immediate aftermath of the invasion, Western governments including, among others, the U.S., Canada, and the European Union, imposed significant sanctions on Russia. The sanctions included, inter alia, measures targeting Russia's ultrawealthy oligarchs by denying them access to the global financial system and by, in some cases, authorizing the seizure of certain of their high-value assets located outside of Russia.
Barely a week after the commencement of the Russian invasion and the retaliatory sanctions imposed by Western nations, news outlets reported that Credit Suisse had requested non-participating investors who received information about the Company's loan portfolio to destroy and permanently erase any confidential information that Credit Suisse provided to them regarding the Securitization Deal.
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Credit Suisse had deficient disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting; (ii) Credit Suisse's practice of lending money to Russian oligarchs subject to U.S. and international sanctions created a significant risk of violating rules pertaining to those sanctions and future sanctions; (iii) the foregoing conduct subjected the Company to an increased risk of heightened regulatory scrutiny and/or enforcement actions; (iv) the Securitization Deal concerned loans that Credit Suisse made to Russian oligarchs previously sanctioned by the U.S.; (v) the purpose of the Securitization Deal was to offload the risks associated with these loans and mitigate the impact on Credit Suisse of sanctions likely to be implemented by Western nations in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine; (vi) Credit Suisse's request that non-participating investors destroy documents related to the Securitization Deal was intended to conceal the Company's noncompliance with U.S. and international sanctions in its lending practices; (vii) the foregoing, once revealed, was likely to subject the Company to enhanced regulatory scrutiny and significant reputational harm; and (viii) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On March 28, 2022, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Reform sent Credit Suisse a letter asking the Company to turn over information and documents about a portfolio of loans backed by yachts and private jets owned by clients, potentially including sanctioned Russian individuals. In the letter, House Oversight Chair Carolyn Maloney and Rep. Stephen Lynch, chair of the Subcommittee on National Security, questioned Credit Suisse's request that hedge funds and other non-participating investors "destroy documents" related to yachts and private jets owned by the bank's clients. "Given the timing of this request and its subject matter," the House Democrats wrote, "Credit Suisse's action raises significant concerns that it may be concealing information" about whether participants in the deal may be "evading sanctions" imposed by the West after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
On this news, Credit Suisse's stock price fell $0.21 per share, or 2.58%, to close at $7.94 per share on March 28, 2022.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — It was a sight Dwayne Christoffel had longed to see — a van pulling a trailer up to his house.
“That’s awesome,” Christoffels said.
When Christoffels was a kid he had saved enough money to buy a Cutlass 442 similar to this one.
“That’s what I wanted that was my dream car,” Christoffels said.
But his dad said no way, it was too fast.
So Christoffels had to settle for another car.
But in the back of his mind, he always knew a 1972 Cutlass 442 was the car he wanted.
A year ago they located this one.
“My wife found it on the internet, Mesa, Arizona,” Christoffels said.
It wasn’t the right color and needed a little work, but he bought it and had it shipped to a friend of his in Florida who restores old cars. That friend is Dean Gough formerly of Sioux Falls.
“Dean does good work, I mean his cars come out fabulous,” Christoffels said.
But getting the car to Gough’s house in Florida was a story in itself.
“I got a call on Saturday night at 9:30 it was the shipper,” Gough said.
He had some terrible news.
“If you’re calling me at 9:30 on a Saturday night, it’s not good, it’s bad bad,” Gough said.
The shipper had rolled the trailer. Christoffel’s dream car was now his nightmare.
“‘Oh God’ I cried. If you would have seen those pictures that was terrible, that was terrible,” Christoffels said.
“I said just ship it to me, I figured if it’s bad enough we’ll part it out, junk the rest, but I got it home, the frame was nice, it was running good,” Gough said.
So Gough did what he does best. He slowly began to fix it.
“When it comes to rust in these old cars, usually when you take them apart they’re rusting on the inside panels and everything, I was cutting this car apart, there was still red oxide primer from the factory underneath the car where you wouldn’t normally see it, so it was cool it was in that good of shape,” Gough said.
About a year later, Gough had it showroom ready, inside and out and handed over the keys.
“Thanks, buddy,” Christoffels said.
A dream that finally came true 50 years in the making.
“It turned out great, turned out great,” Christoffels said. | https://www.keloland.com/news/local-news/nightmare-turns-into-dream-car-for-sioux-falls-man/ | 2022-06-09T01:03:47Z | https://www.keloland.com/news/local-news/nightmare-turns-into-dream-car-for-sioux-falls-man/ | true | 2 |

NEW YORK, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Bakkt Holdings, Inc. ("Bakkt" or the "Company") f/k/a VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings ("VIH") (NYSE: BKKT) (NYSE: BKKT WS) (NASDAQ: VIHAU) (NASDAQ: VIH) (NASDAQ: VIHAW) and certain of its former officers and directors. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York and docketed under 22-cv-02283, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired: (a) Bakkt securities between March 31, 2021 and November 19, 2021, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"); and/or (b) Bakkt Class A common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the Offering Documents issued in connection with the business combination between the Company and Bakkt Holdings, LLC ("Legacy Bakkt") completed on or about October 15, 2021 (the "Business Combination"). Plaintiff pursues claims against the Defendants under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
If you are a shareholder who purchased or otherwise acquired Bakkt securities during the Class Period, or Bakkt Class A common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the Offering Documents issued in connection with the Business Combination (defined above), you have until June 20, 2022 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of shares purchased.
Bakkt was formerly known as "VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings" and operated as a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), also called a blank-check company, which is a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, other entity, or person.
On January 11, 2021, the Company and Legacy Bakkt announced entry into a definitive agreement for the Business Combination that would result in Legacy Bakkt becoming a publicly traded company with an enterprise value of approximately $2.1 billion.
On March 31, 2021, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in connection with the Business Combination, which, after several amendments, was declared effective by the SEC on September 17, 2021 (the "Registration Statement"). Also on September 17, 2021, the Company filed a proxy statement and prospectus on Form 424B3 with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination, which formed part of the Registration Statement (the "Proxy" and, together with the Registration Statement, the "Offering Documents").
On or about October 15, 2021, the Company and Legacy Bakkt completed the Business Combination pursuant to the Offering Documents. Thereafter, the Company changed its name to "Bakkt Holdings, Inc." and began operating a digital asset platform that enables consumers to buy, sell, convert, and spend digital assets.
The complaint alleges that the Offering Documents were negligently prepared and, as a result, contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and were not prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations governing their preparation, and that throughout the Class Period Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, the Offering Documents and Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company had defective financial controls; (ii) as a result, there were errors in the Company's financial statements related to the misclassification of certain shares issued prior to the Business Combination; (iii) accordingly, the Company would need to restate certain of its financial statements; (iv) the Company downplayed the true scope and severity of these issues; (v) the Company overstated its remediation of its defective financial controls; and (vi) as a result, the Offering Documents and Defendants' public statements throughout the Class Period were materially false and/or misleading and failed to state information required to be stated therein.
On May 17, 2021, Bakkt—then still operating as VIH—notified the SEC of its inability to timely file its quarterly report for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Specifically, the Company advised that, as a result of a statement issued by the SEC, "the Company reevaluated the accounting treatment of its public warrants and private placement warrants" and "is currently determining the extent of the SEC Statement's impact on its financial statements[.]"
On this news, the Company's share price fell $0.13 per share, or 1.26%, to close at $10.18 per share on May 18, 2021.
Then, on October 13, 2021, the Company disclosed in an SEC filing that it had also previously failed to properly account for the classification of its Class A ordinary shares and "adjust[ed] . . . the initial carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A ordinary shares." Notably, the Company revised its balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, including, among other changes, additional paid-in capital that was reduced from $9,860,338 to nil, an accumulated deficit that ballooned from $4,861,190 to $29,250,419, and total shareholders' equity of $5,000,009 that swung to a total shareholders' deficit of $29,249,901.
Following these additional disclosures, the Company's share price fell $0.47 per share, or 4.73%, to close at $9.46 per share on October 14, 2021.
Finally, on November 22, 2021, Bakkt disclosed in another SEC filing that the Company's management "has re-evaluated . . . the accounting classification of the Class A ordinary shares . . . of [VIH] . . . and has identified errors in the historical financial statements of VIH . . . related to the misclassification . . . of the Class A Ordinary Shares prior to the [Business Combination]." Specifically, the Company found that, as a result of errors in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021, Bakkt should "restate certain of VIH's condensed consolidated financial statements from" those periods.
On this news, Bakkt's stock price fell $2.70 per share, or 13.69%, to close at $17.02 per share on November 22, 2021.
As of the time the complaint was filed, Bakkt's Class A common stock was trading between $4 to $5 per share and continues to trade below its initial value from the Business Combination, damaging investors.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp agreed to a three-year contract extension with the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday after a spectacular season in which he led the NFL in every major receiving category.
The Rams announced the deal just two days after signing Aaron Donald to a massive extension. Kupp's new extension is worth $75 million guaranteed, and it brings his total deal to $110 million through 2026 when adding the two years remaining on his first extension, which was signed in September 2020.
Kupp had one of the greatest seasons in football history last year in his first pairing with new Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. Kupp led the NFL with 145 receptions for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns for Los Angeles, earning The Associated Press' Offensive Player of the Year award as only the fourth player since the merger to lead the league in all three categories.
Kupp's catches and yards were both the second-highest totals in NFL history, albeit accomplished in a 17-game season. The first-time All-Pro racked up another 33 catches for 478 yards and four touchdowns in the postseason, capping the season with two TDs in the Super Bowl — including the eventual game-winning 1-yard TD catch with 1:25 to play.
The receiver's extension caps an impressive offseason of deal-making for the Rams and general manager Les Snead, whose front office's maneuvering around the salary cap inspires envy throughout the league. Los Angeles lost a few key players to free agency after winning the franchise's championship in 22 years, but managed to add linebacker Bobby Wagner and receiver Allen Robinson as free agents.
Snead also reached long-term commitments with Donald, Kupp and Stafford, who agreed to a four-year extension through the 2026 season that could be worth $160 million. All three stars expressed their eagerness to do deals with a minimum of fuss and no public negotiations because they value the opportunity to contend for another title with the Rams.
Donald's deal, which was announced Monday, contained a $40 million raise that makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL.
Kupp and Snead both acknowledged their desire for a contract extension several months ago, but Kupp said he didn't care about becoming the NFL's highest-paid receiver despite his peerless statistical achievements last season. He also participated in the Rams' entire offseason program instead of staying home to spur negotiations.
The 2017 third-round draft pick from Eastern Washington said Tuesday he wanted a deal that would allow the Rams to stay competitive.
“I really want this to be a collaboration that we work on,” Kupp said. "That’s my goal. Something that’s great for the team, something that’s great for me and my family as well. That place exists, and it’s just getting there.”

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A masked woman in a hooded shirt set a fire at a planned abortion clinic in Wyoming, according to newly released police video, and federal authorities have offered a $5,000 reward for tips leading to her arrest.
The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives offered the reward Wednesday. The woman was shown in security video released by Casper police that was taken inside the Wellspring Health Access clinic in Casper just before it was burned May 25.
The 30-second video shows a person in a hooded shirt and mask carrying what appears to be a red fuel can through a room. The white woman is around 5 feet, 7 inches (170 centimeters) tall, with a medium build, and apparently acted alone, police said Tuesday in a Facebook post.
Early on the morning of the blaze, firefighters arrived to find a broken window and smoke coming out of a corner of the building. A person who called police said they'd heard glass breaking and seen a person leaving the area carrying a gas can and a black bag, according to police.
Investigators have said they found several areas of the building where accelerant was used.
The clinic was set to open in mid-June as the only facility of its kind in the state. The fire damaged a building that was being renovated and has delayed the clinic’s opening by about six months, organizers said in a statement Wednesday.
“Despite these setbacks, we are undeterred in our mission to give the people of Casper access to comprehensive reproductive health care, including abortion care,” clinic founder Julie Burkhart said in the statement.
The clinic building had been the site of regular anti-abortion protests.
Because of the fire, the clinic might not be able to provide abortions before an expected U.S. Supreme Court ruling that could overturn Roe v. Wade. Wyoming is among 13 states that would ban all or nearly all abortions if the court overturned the 1973 case that made abortion legal nationwide.
A draft of a Supreme Court ruling that was leaked in May would overturn the landmark case.
Under a bill signed into law in March by Gov. Mark Gordon, a Republican, Wyoming would prohibit most abortions should the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade.
Exceptions would include cases of rape, incest or to protect the mother from death or serious medical harm not involving mental health. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Reward-posted-to-find-woman-in-video-of-abortion-17228847.php | 2022-06-09T01:22:25Z | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Reward-posted-to-find-woman-in-video-of-abortion-17228847.php | false | 22 |
NEW YORK, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Oscar Health, Inc. ("Oscar" or the "Company") (NYSE: OSCR) and certain of its officers. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and docketed under 22-cv-04103, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired Oscar Class A common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement and prospectus (collectively, the "Registration Statement") issued in connection with the Company's March 2021 initial public offering ("IPO" or the "Offering"). Plaintiff pursues claims against under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act").
If you are a shareholder who purchased or otherwise acquired Oscar Class A common stock, pursuant and/or traceable to the company's IPO, you have until July 11, 2022 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of shares purchased.
Oscar is a health insurance company that claims to be the first such company "built around a full stack technology platform" which will "allow [Oscar] to continue to innovate like a technology company and not a traditional insurer."
On March 4, 2021, the Company filed its prospectus on Form 424B4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which forms part of the Registration Statement. In the IPO, the Company sold 36,391,946 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $39.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $1.3 billion from the Offering. The proceeds from the IPO were purportedly to be used to repay in full outstanding borrowings, including fees and expenses, under Oscar's Term Loan Facility ($167 million), and the remainder proceeds were to be used for general corporate purposes.
The complaint alleges that, the Registration Statement was materially false and misleading and omitted to state: (1) that Oscar was experiencing growing COVID-19 testing and treatment costs; (2) that Oscar was experiencing growing net COVID costs; (3) that Oscar would be negatively impacted by an unfavorable prior year Risk Adjustment Data Validation ("RADV") result relating to 2019 and 2020; (4) that Oscar was on track to be negatively impacted by significant Special Enrollment Period ("SEP") membership growth; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
On August 12, 2021, Oscar disclosed that the Company's Medical Loss Ratio ("MLR") for the second quarter of 2021 was 82.4%, an increase of 2170 basis points year-over year. The Company claimed that "[t]he MLR increased to 82.4% in 2Q21 from 60.7% in 2Q20, primarily driven by meaningfully lower utilization in 2Q20 as a result of COVID-19, as well as higher COVID-19 testing and treatment costs and a return to more normalized utilization in 2Q21." The Company also disclosed that its net loss for the quarter was $73.1 million, an increase of $32.1 million year-over-year.
On November 10, 2021, Oscar disclosed that its third quarter 2021 MLR increased 920 basis points year-over-year, to 99.7%. The Company claimed that the MLR increase was "primarily driven by higher net COVID costs as compared to the net benefit in 3Q20, an unfavorable prior year Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) result, and the impact of significant SEP membership growth." The Company also disclosed that its net loss for the quarter was $212.7 million, an increase of $133.6 million year-over-year.
During a conference call held the same day, Scott Blackley, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, stated: "We recognized approximately $20 million of risk adjustment expense this quarter related to our risk adjustment data validation audit or RADV results. The RADV exercise is atypical this year due to COVID. It spans two years, 2019 and 2020. The majority of the RADV headwinds relate to the 2019 audit results, which were recently completed."
On this news, Oscar's share price fell $4.05 per share, or 24.5%, to close at 12.47 per share on November 11, 2021.
By the commencement of this action, Oscar stock has traded as low as $5.47 per share, a nearly 86% decline from the $39.00 per share IPO price.

Lisa Lazarus walked around the backstretch at Belmont Park nine days before the final leg of horseracing’s Triple Crown selling as much as observing.
The CEO of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority talked with trainers, riders and other horsemen about the sport's federally mandated new governing body that she has been tabbed to oversee. Lazarus was peppered with questions and complaints about the new rules that are about to become the national standard.
Once she explained what will change — and what won’t — the most common response Lazarus said she got was, “It’s nowhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be.”
One reason for that reaction at the Belmont? New York is among the states that already follow many of the safety regulations, which begin July 1, and the antidoping rules, which go into effect at the start of 2023.
Lazarus said the policies that will become federal law about four weeks after this year's final Triple Crown race closely resemble what’s already in place in California, Kentucky and New York.
Now that Congress has passed the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act, the rules will be the same across thoroughbred tracks in the U.S.
“The biggest that’s going to change is uniformity,” Lazarus said. “Uniformity, really above and beyond: It’s going to be one set of rules for everyone.”
Unlike other sports, horse racing does not have a long-established national governing body, which would make getting every state and track on the same page. With an eye on cleaning up the sport, HISA is the closest thing to that.
Mark Casse, who is set to saddle Golden Glider in the Belmont Stakes on Saturday three years after winning the race with Sir Winston, said he and other trainers are still learning about what’s coming but is relieved rules will be standardized across all jurisdictions.
“It’s a guess everywhere,” Casse said. “You’re like, ‘What can we do here? What can we do here?’ We have a lot of the same rules. A lot of the rules are not changing. I’m just hoping that they can be better enforced.”
The seven rules that go into effect in July encompass jockey safety (including a national concussion protocol), the riding crop and how often riders can use it during a race, racetrack accreditation and reporting of training and veterinary records. Everyone in horseracing must register with the new safety agency by the end of this month.
Medication regulations, including a drug testing policy aimed at getting rid of doping in the aftermath of federal charges brought against 27 people in 2020 for what authorities described as a widespread international scheme to drug horses to make them run faster, take effect Jan. 1. Lazarus said her agency would take an extremely hard stance against banned substances that “should never be in a horse” with transparent processes and strict punishments, and “practical and firm” about therapeutic substances.
“There’s no doubt in my mind that anyone who’s involved in it, or the vast majority, love their horses and care about their horses,” she said. “So, there is genuine and, I believe, principled disagreement over what helps the horse and what doesn’t and what puts a horse at risk.”
Betamethasone, the steroid that can help horses’ joints, which 2021 Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit tested positive for and prompted Bob Baffert’s suspension by Churchill Downs, is considered a therapeutic drug. It is different than the performance-enhancing substances trainers Jason Servis and Jorge Navarro were charged with using.
Casse, who has been among those in the sport calling for stricter regulations, hopes HISA “can have a little better control and identify the bad apples.” A lifetime ban is among the potential punishments.
Lasix, the much-debated anti-bleeding medication that also works as a diuretic to cause horses to urinate and lose 20 to 30 pounds of fluid, which can increase their ability to run faster, will get a close look over the next three years. The new safety agency will start by prohibiting Lasix use on race day while allowing tracks to apply for an exemption.
The three Triple Crown races are in their second year running without Lasix. New York also bans it for 2-year-olds and in all stakes races.
“You almost don’t notice it,” New York Racing Association president and CEO Dave O’Rourke said. “That’s actually the best scenario. You don’t really hear much about it, which I think is great and says something about it.”
NYRA executive Glen Kozak is among those on HISA’s racetrack safety committee. O’Rourke said NYRA has been at the forefront of horse safety issues for a while other than appointing people to specific positions as part of adjustments to the new rules won’t have to change much to get up to code.
“A lot of these best practices — and we haven’t done this alone — now will be adopted across the industry, which we think is great,” O’Rourke said. “It’s great for the sport. It’s great for everyone that participates in the sport, specifically equine athletes and the jockeys.”
Lazarus said success will be judged by the rate of horse fatalities, which has been decreasing, and hopes the authority gains the trust of those in the industry and the general public based on the intense research that went into developing these policies.
“I think you will genuinely see a shift in culture over time because the programs are going to be too robust and the enforcement is going to be robust and it’s going to be national,” she said. “There’ll be a cultural shift once there’s a genuine recognition that doping will not be tolerated in horse racing. It just won’t be."

The loft of a house is an unusual space—for many homes it is a room that is sometimes too small or awkward to use as a proper living space or bedroom, often becoming an area for storing those rarely used items, or other objects we have no use for, but just can't seem to part with. For others, however, the loft room of the home is large enough to be a fully functional room of the house, sometimes reserved as a child's bedroom, or maybe as a guest-room. The lucky owner's of this London home had a loft space that was crying out to be converted into a well loved room, so they decided to turn it into a fully-equipped cinema; sure to please kids and adults alike. Read on to see the project come to fruition.
Before work began, the potential for this to become a loft cinema that would be the favourite room of the house was obvious. With higher ceilings than most, this loft gave Designer Vision and Sound the freedom to create a cinema that wasn't restricted by space. Deciding to divide the loft meant a small space was reserved for storage, still allowing plenty of room for the home cinema.
Raised levels were built to allow for tiered seating, cinema-like black carpet was laid, and the whole room was painted in a fresh tone of pink.
No cinema experience would be complete without the comfiest of seating, so fully motorised leather recliners, complete with cupholders were installed, again adding to the whole cinema experience. Sometimes it is the finer details that make all the difference, and the investment in these seats meant the room would get the use it deserves.
Next, the wall that would be used for the rear projector was finished, with a whopping 132 inch screen used. 9.2 surround sound was also installed for the ultimate cinema audio experience, ensuring those lucky enough to watch movies here feel like they are at a commercial cinema.
Suede walls were also chosen, further enhancing the complete commercial cinema look.
Managing all the technologies in the home can be overwhelming, and there is one company leading the way when it comes to making this task much easier. RTI, or Remove Technologies Incorporated, design and manufacture advanced, yet user-friendly remote control systems. Here, RTI was used to control everything from the sound and audio, to the lighting and even the motorised blinds, ensuring you never have to leave your seat.
The final product is a enviable room that would we are sure anybody would love to call their own. Once the cinema-style LED lighting has gone down, and the popcorn has been readied, this is the ultimate place to spend a cold winters evening, or a lazy Sunday afternoon with friends and family. Designer Vision and Sound have created the ultimate space, having completed the entire project of design and installation from start to finish.

The countdown for the release of one of the most highly anticipated Marvel flick Thor: Love and Thunder has begun. With only a month left, the makers are ramping up the promotion and creating major hype around the venture. The upcoming film will debut Natalie Portman as the God of thunder after Chris Hemsworth's Thor drops his Mjollnir and embarks on a journey of self-exploration.
The trailers were positively received by the fans who especially took notice of Christian Bale's terrifying avatar as Gorr the God Butcher. Recently, the makers dropped a new clip featuring the Guardians of the Galaxy including Chris Pratt's Peter Quill.
Marvel dropped a new clip from the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder featuring the Guardians of the Galaxy squad. In the video, Rocket is seen grunting about their 'relaxing vacation' turning deadly after a surprise attack. On the other hand, fans got another glimpse of the nerve-racking villain Gorr played by Christian Bale causing havoc in pursuit of killing all the Gods.
Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie is seen meeting Natalie Portman's Thor while Thor appears to have realized that it is time for him to team up with his fellow superheroes.
Earlier, another clip from the upcoming Marvel actioner debuted at the MTV Movie & TV Awards 2022 that depicted Thor and Jane’s encounter. The clip showed an electrifying entry of Portman as Thor after Hemsworth's Thor fails to get ahold of his hammer having lost the worthiness to hold it.
The film will mark the return of Taika Waititi returning as director and as Korg. In an interview with Empire Magazine, the director talked about his vision of the film by stating, ''I wanted to embrace this thing that I was always a bit dismissive of, and explore this idea of love, and show characters who do believe in love."
Apart from Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson, and Christian Bale, the film also features Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff and Karen Gillan and more. The film is set for an early release in India as it will open in theatres on July 7, 2022, in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.

The RFDS competition includes a flight aboard a RFDS aircraft and VIP tickets to the Big Red Bash in July at Big Red Dune west of Birdsville.

Winners of the competition will be flown from their closest capital city to Birdsville before being transferred to the Big Red Bash site where they will stay at glamping accommodation.
RFDS Queensland CEO Meredith Staib said they'll also have the chance to take to the sky on a Beechcraft King Air RFDS aircraft for a uniquely Australian scenic flight, the first time that an RFDS flight experience will be made available to the public, outside of medical or retrieval use.
"May marked marks 94 years of the RFDS providing life-saving care to communities across Queensland - including Birdsville, where we first touched down in 1928," she said.
"This trip of a lifetime will allow the winners to experience firsthand what it's like to be onboard with the Flying Doctor as well as take part in all that the Big Red Bash has to offer."
The Big Red Bash from July 5-7 features Australian music artists Jimmy Barnes, Kate Ceberano, Missy Higgins, Kasey Chambers, Sarah McLeod, Jon Stevens, Richard Clapton and many others with the chance to be part of history and join thousands of other concert goers to attempt to break the World Record for the most people dancing The Nutbush of 2878 people.
Performer Kate Ceberano said the event had sold-out, so she was excited the RFDS had launched this competition
"I can't wait to meet the winners there. The help and support that the RFDS provide to our rural communities is extraordinary and this is a wonderful way to support the life-saving work that they do," Ceberano said.
Included in the prize are flights, an RFDS flight experience, glamping accommodation, exclusive VIP tickets, and the chance to meet some of the performers.
To enter, head to www.flyingdoctor.org.au/qld/about/events/competition and tell the RFDS what you love about the Flying Doctor.
The competition closes at midnight June 21 and the winner will be contacted by email on the 24th of June. You must be 18 years of age to enter. Terms and conditions are available to read here.

HOUSTON, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Harris County needs to determine the top 20 most important projects for the Aldine community, and the community's help is needed! A new online survey is available at https://htx-arcs.com that allows respondents to prioritize projects for the Aldine Region Comprehensive Study (ARCS) for Harris County. The survey is accessible in Spanish and English and will be available on the website through the end of June 2022.
Aldine residents can also comment at a round of in-person public meetings scheduled for June:
- Tuesday, June 21, 2022 – 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
- Aldine High School
- 11101 Airline Drive, Houston, TX 77037
- Thursday, June 23, 2022 – 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
- East Aldine Management District
- 2909 E. Aldine Amphitheatre Drive, Houston, TX 77039
- Saturday, June 25, 2022 – 10 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
- James Driver Park Basketball Pavilion (Outdoors)
- 10918 Bentley Street, Houston, TX 77093
- This event will feature several activities for children!
TO REGISTER FOR THIS FREE EVENT, visit https://htx-arcs.com.
This input is vital to reduce the current number of 40 proposed projects down to the final 20.
The ARCS project focuses on consolidating several community improvement recommendations and plans that have been developed over the past 20 years to create a prioritized list of infrastructure projects for Harris County to implement. The project area consists of the Airline Improvement, East Aldine, and North Houston management districts. Although the study is being led by Harris County, recommendations will also be included for parts of the study area that are within the City of Houston. The final report and implementation plan will be submitted to the Harris County Commissioners' Court for a possible vote of approval.
During the first series of public meetings, which were conducted virtually via Zoom in January 2022, the team of county engineers and consultants leading the study project presented a detailed overview of their analysis of existing conditions in Aldine. Citizens who attended the meetings shared their perspectives on living and working in Aldine and offered several ideas for improving local transportation networks, affordable housing opportunities, parks, culture, and the region's overall quality of life. Instant polls during the meetings also enabled attendees to rank recommended goals for the study in real time.
"All of Aldine is important to me. As a result, the Aldine Region Comprehensive Study is going to put all of those plans together so that we can work together to do what's best for all of Aldine," said Harris County Precinct 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia, during the public meetings in January 2022.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A former Dollar General employee in Tampa said she was fired over her TikTok videos.
Mary Gundel posted several videos about the challenges at her job before the company let her go. She knew she was taking a risk, but she also hoped something would change.
In March, the Dollar General store manager was frustrated and felt unappreciated. She said there wasn’t enough money in the budget to give other employees more hours, leaving her to work alone for long stretches, and she believes working conditions were unsafe.
She got on TikTok and started talking about the challenges. Her videos gained momentum, one reaching 1 million views.
“In the beginning, it was just to bring awareness to our everyday customer that, you know, our stores are messy. Yes, our shelves are empty, yes, but it’s not always the employee’s fault,” Gundel said. “We’re only given so much hours to be able to run our stores, and there’s only so much physically one person can do.”
Her videos have garnered widespread attention, but that’s not all she wants.
Gundel said since she’s posted her videos, other Dollar General employees from all over the country have reached out and shared similar experiences.
“Now it’s about holding Dollar General accountable,” Gundel said. “We want them to change.”
Gundel believes she made the right decision, not just for herself, but for Dollar General employees everywhere.
“We want their employees to actually start making a living wage, and we want their buildings to be safe for all employees,” Gundel said.
Dollar General’s full statement is below:
At Dollar General, we are committed to providing an environment where employees can grow their careers and where they feel valued and heard. We are disappointed any time an employee feels that we have not lived up to these goals, and we use those situations as additional opportunities to listen and learn.
Maintaining two-way, open lines of communication with our employees is a priority. We provide many avenues for our teams to make their voices heard, including our open-door policy and routine engagement surveys. We use this feedback to help us identify and address concerns, improve our workplace, and better serve our employees, customers and communities. Additionally, we continually review store staffing needs to best serve the local communities.
While we do not comment on specific employee matters, we disagree with any assertion that Ms. Gundel’s termination was improper. As discussed with Ms. Gundel prior to her termination, her conduct violated the Company’s policy against releasing confidential or proprietary information. | https://www.wate.com/news/florida-dollar-general-store-manager-says-she-was-fired-over-viral-tiktoks/ | 2022-06-09T01:52:53Z | https://www.wate.com/news/florida-dollar-general-store-manager-says-she-was-fired-over-viral-tiktoks/ | false | 22 |
Watch: Netflix unveils NSFW trailer for new animated series ‘Farzar’
Netflix is gearing up to launch its latest adult animation series Farzar next month and now we finally have our first look at this unfiltered, unapologetic intergalactic adventure.
Farzar is the latest work from Brickleberry and Paradise PD creators Roger Black and Waco O’Guin and despite being in a completely different setting, the series would seem to maintain the charm and comedy style of their previous work.
Even in the new footage, the show acknowledges its contemporaries before kicking things up a notch with plenty of adult humor as the show’s plot is revealed. Alongside the footage, a synopsis was also released giving fans an in-depth look at what the show is about.
“Egotistical human warrior Renzo liberated the planet Farzar from the evil alien Bazarack, and then established a human settlement under a huge dome, becoming the Czar of FARZAR. Years later, FARZAR is under attack by the evil aliens once again and Renzo’s well-meaning and not-so-bright son Prince Fichael ventures out with his special crew “S.H.A.T.” (Special Hostile Assault Team!), made up of a human-solider-turned-cyborg, clashing conjoined twins, an unhinged scientist, a highly incapable mutant and a mischievous little alien known as a chaos-celot. As they begin their journey to fight the aliens that want to kill/eat them, Fichael quickly discovers that all is not what it seems and he may be living a lie.”
Fans don’t have long to wait before they can check out this new animated adventure. Farzar is scheduled to arrive on Netflix on July 15. | https://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/watch-netflix-unveils-nsfw-trailer-for-new-animated-series-farzar/ | 2022-06-09T01:58:00Z | https://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/watch-netflix-unveils-nsfw-trailer-for-new-animated-series-farzar/ | true | 1 |
Andre Drummond Discusses Mental Strength Needed to Play for Lakers
The former Lakers center noticed the difference in expectations while playing in Los Angeles.
Andre Drummond’s time with the Lakers was short, playing in only 21 games to finish out the season last year, but it made an impact on him. The center explained that he learned how different it is playing for a team like Los Angeles with such high expectations, even if it wasn’t for long.
“Yeah the Lakers is exactly what you think it is man,” Drummond said, via Jefe Island . “You gotta be built differently to play for that organization. You gotta be mentally strong not even just on the court, but off the court too because there’s so much expectations to being a Laker and putting that purple and gold on.”
Drummond added that Lakers fans are also a unique group, confirming that they get on players who they think aren’t performing to the standard. However, Drummond understands why fans have that mindset.
“If you don’t meet that expectation they will let you know you’re not worthy enough to wear that jersey,” he said. “So you’ve got to play to the best of your ability and play hard each and every night regardless of win, lose or draw. You gotta just play hard. That’s what they respect.”
In his 21 games with Los Angeles, Drummond averaged 11.9 points and 10.2 rebounds. He also played in five playoff games, accumulating nine 9.0 points and 11.0 rebounds during the Lakers first-round loss to Phoenix in 2021.
Drummond signed with the Sixers in the offseason, then was traded to the Nets at the deadline. However, he still would have liked more time in Los Angeles.
“I wish I had a chance to really connect with those guys and really do something,” he said. “But everything happens for a reason. The Lakers situation was fun, though, I had a lot of fun being there.”

Safaricom plan to hide Lipa na M-Pesa details suffers setback
Thursday June 09 2022Safaricom has delayed a plan slated for end of this month to block customer contact details when making payments through Lipa na M-Pesa to curb personal information being traded to advertisers or leaking to fraudsters.
The telco on Wednesday cited technical hitches in the delay for the rollout of the plan which would have seen it start blocking customer contact details when they make payments through Lipa na M-Pesa from end of June.
Under the new regime, Safaricom only displays the first name of subscribers making payments through the platform and a few digits of their phone number, effectively hiding the contact of the customer.
“As an update to our previous communication regarding data minimisation on the M-Pesa API, we will be making adjustments to accommodate several of our partners who are experiencing technical challenges integrating the minimised APIs,” Safaricom told merchants in correspondence seen by Business Daily.

API or application programming interface is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other.
Safaricom did not provide a new date for the rollout of the service but said it was engaging its partners on a new date.
“As such, partners will continue to receive customer phone numbers through the M-Pesa API beyond the earlier communicated deadline of 30th June 2022,” it said.
“This will ensure partners can continue to adequately process payments as we assist them to resolve resulting technical challenges.”
The move was aimed at curbing personal information from being traded to advertisers or leaking to fraudsters in line with data protection legal requirements.
At present, people paying for goods and services leave their numbers and names with thousands of merchants.

With access to consumers’ phone numbers and buying habits, the merchants use personal information to send unsolicited advertising through text messages.
Kopo Kopo, a startup which has a deal with Safaricom to connect SMEs to the Lipa na M-Pesa platform, had explained to vendors how the new platform would work under the new regime.

The US defamation trial has shown us how ‘transparency’ in court translates, which is into a festival of misogyny
When asked about the defeat in Depp v. Heard on CBS, Amber Heard‘s lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft, blamed the courtroom cameras and the brutal climate they created. “It was like a Roman colosseum.”
Actually, it was much nicer than that for the squeamish. Those of us who are watching Depp’s lawyer, Camille Vasquez, dismember Heard could claim to be doing so in the spirit of sober inquiry and debate, driven solely by a desire to increase understanding of US legal procedures.
In between gawp at Heard’s elaborate plaits and Vasquez’s white dresses, I learned that it’s legal in Virginia for cameras to Livestream a celebrity witness giving terrible evidence about sexual abuse, yards from her accused assailant, according to Newsbreak.
Another lesson: in a US court, the dry findings of two UK courts cannot compete with lashings of Technicolor “Darvo” (“deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender,” a popular defense tactic in sexual assault and domestic violence trials).
Another thing: if a celebrity witness knows millions of viewers are scrutinizing her face and body language while opposition experts speculate on the consequences of her alleged personality disorder, it does not conflict with the administration of US justice, particularly the principle that people are equal before the law.
Is it true that Heard cried in court? Her acting coach claimed, according to diligent students, that Heard struggled “acting-wise” to produce real tears when performing. Non-actors, on the other hand – and this seems to have gone unnoticed — the coach often saw Heard in genuine tears.
We now have a good understanding of how such devotion to total courtroom transparency is likely to convert, once online supporters are engaged, into a wave of woman-hating vitriol and memes, thanks to the intensive Heard-Depp course in judicial fairness.
The jury in this instance, according to Bredehoft, must have been aware of this. “They have weekends, they have families, they have social media,” she said.
There was also a 10-day break allowing for further absorption of tribal online feeling before jurors returned to a courtroom besieged by #justiceforJohnny supporters: “How could they not have been influenced?” Bredehoft was duly pilloried for sour grapes, on social media.
In fact, she’d seen it coming. In February, arguing against live broadcasting, Bredehoft prophesied how existing “anti-Amber networks” would use the resulting videos.
“What they’ll do is take anything that’s unfavorable – a look,” she said. “They’ll take out of context a statement and play it over and over and over and over again.”
This is precisely what has happened, as if Heard’s inconsistencies (on charitable donations) were not, without added monstering, enough. Depp’s lawyers, to judge by his fans’ previous efforts during his London libel suit, had more to gain from the harvesting of such material.
“Mr. Depp believes in transparency,” his lawyer said. The judge, Penney Azcarate, whose sole decision it was to Livestream or not, concluded that the public did need more, on this occasion, than old school reporting and illustrations: “I don’t see any good cause not to do it.”
A Stanford Law School lawyer, Professor Michele Dauber, has called Azcarate’s decision “the single worst decision I can think of in the context of intimate partner violence and sexual violence in recent history”.
Perhaps the following misogyny festival would have surprised any judge inexperienced with social media, the manosphere’s tendencies, or the growing ambitions of courtroom broadcasters.
It’s more difficult to understand why a judge would ignore the specific risks of live broadcasting a case involving charges of sexual violence, as well as the potential impact on future witnesses.
The deterrent effect on female victims when reporting a crime doubles as an audition for courtroom broadcasting is only one example of how compelled public performance actually interferes with justice.
With Depp v Heard considered broadcastable, restraint in other courts can be misrepresented, as it was by conspiracy-minded members of the Ghislaine Maxwell audience.
It gives unwarranted power to editors and courtroom broadcasters, whose earnings skyrocketed as their coverage of Heard elicited more online criticism, clicks, and histrionic tweets picturing the case as a battle.
Court TV: “Do YOU think there is going to be a clear winner in the end??” Court TV’s daytime ratings more than doubled thanks to Heard, who claims she is unable to pay the millions she owes in damages. UK viewers discovered a new and less expensive Netflix option.
When British broadcasters first pushed for televised courtrooms, they argued that, in addition to providing cheap content, this innovation would educate viewers and improve openness.
Writing to the prime minister in 2012, representatives of the BBC, ITN, and Sky said: “For too long the UK has lagged behind much of the rest of the world on open justice. The time has come for us to catch up.”
Prior to online death threats and abusive TikTok memes, the biggest admitted risk of court broadcasting was its use by some defendants, such as mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik. However, a Victim Support spokesman predicted that, while the justice system needed to be more transparent, “this does not mean that court cases should become a new form of reality TV.”
Even if the transformation of one celebrity defamation trial via live streaming into the prolonged, one-sided demonization of its female participant does not constitute a case for restriction, Depp v Heard calls into question broadcasters’ claims of increased confidence and transparency.
How can a courtroom be complicit with the values of mass entertainment to help justice? If anything, the live-streaming, along with the associated character assassination, has increased uncertainty among many circusgoers about the relative value of legal argument vs the popularity of the combatants.
Is it right to force civilians, including actor-civilians, to perform for justice? In any case, Amber Heard’s inability to fake crying is a boon to her adversaries. | https://www.womenzmag.com/celebrities/depp-heard-teach-us/ | 2022-06-09T02:11:42Z | https://www.womenzmag.com/celebrities/depp-heard-teach-us/ | false | 1 |

Apple TV has released a trailer for their upcoming crime series Black Bird starring Taron Egerton and Paul Walter Hauser. Based on a true crime book called In With the Devil, Egerton plays a prisoner named Jimmy who tries to get information out of a fellow inmate in return for his freedom. Ray Liotta plays Jimmy’s father, a cop named Big Jim, in one of his final roles.
The synopsis is as follows; “Inspired by actual events, when high school football hero and decorated policeman’s son Jimmy Keene (Taron Egerton) is sentenced to 10 years in a minimum security prison, he is given the choice of a lifetime — enter a maximum-security prison for the criminally insane and befriend suspected serial killer Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser), or stay where he is and serve his full sentence with no possibility of parole.”
“Keene quickly realises his only way out is to elicit a confession and find out where the bodies of several young girls are buried before Hall’s appeal goes through. But is this suspected killer telling the truth? Or is it just another tale from a serial liar?”
The creator of the show is Dennis Lehane, who has had five of his novels adapted into movies – Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone, Shutter Island, The Drop and Live by Night. Lehane has also been involved in several television series, including The Wire and Boardwalk Empire. Black Bird is based on the book In With the Devil – A Fallen Hero, a Serial Killer, and a Dangerous Bargain for Redemption by James Keene (who Egerton plays) and Hillel Levin.
You can watch the trailer for Black Bird below;
Black Bird is Ray Liotta’s last television role, as he sadly passed away at the end of May 2022. He has at least one upcoming film role as well – Cocaine Bear – directed by Elizabeth Banks and also starring O’Shea Jackson Jr, Keri Russell, and Alden Ehrenreich. It’s about a drug runner who crashes a plane, which is full of cocaine, and a black bear who finds the drug stash…and eats it.

Why PPF is one of the most preferred tax saving investments; know the reasons
Photo : iStock
When it comes to tax-saving instruments,
Public Provident Fund (
PPF) is one of those options that is very popular among investors. Take a look at many reasons why the PPF is a preferred fixed income, tax-saving investment option for long-term goals like retirement.
Triple tax exemption
PPF is one of the few investment instruments that has the benefit of triple tax exemptions, i.e., the exempt-exempt-exempt (EEE) status. What this mean is that you get tax exemption at the time of investment, accrual, and withdrawal.
PPF offers up to Rs 1.5 lakh deduction on investment made in each financial year under section 80C of the Income-tax Act, 1961. The interest that is earned each year is also exempted from tax. Thirdly, the total corpus that you get on maturity is also free from tax which makes it a tax-free income.
Highest interest rates among fixed income products
The PPF is an investment product that even self-employed people can invest. The current interest rate on PPF is 7.1%, which is higher than interest rate on other small savings schemes like the
National Savings Certificate (
NSC) and Post Office 5-year Time Deposit.
PPF interest rate is often not far behind the
EPF rate, however, there have only been a few occasions when the PPF interest rate was higher than the EPF rate.
Beneficial as PPF has floating rates
One of the many reasons why the PPF scores over products like the 5-year tax-saving bank FD is that it has floating rates. Unlike fixed deposits, where the interest rate is fixed for the entire investment period, the interest rate of PPF is floating which can change every quarter. Once the overall interest rate in the economy starts increasing the interest rate on PPF will also rise and your investment will start fetching higher returns.
Power of compounding works wonders in long term
If you give your money time to grow, the power of compounding can do wonders for your investment. A PPF account matures in 15 years. After the account matures, you can either withdraw the entire balance and close the account or extend it for five years with or without making further contributions. The extension in blocks of five years can be done indefinitely.
Tax haven for conservative investors
If you are a conservative investor looking for tax saving with assured return and safety of your investment, then PPF is one of the safest and best options. When at present most of the large banks are giving 5.5% or lower interest rate on their 5-year tax saving FDs, the interest rate offered on PPF certainly comes with a good premium.
A must have for investors in highest income tax bracket
The section 80C benefit may not be relevant for most investors in the highest income tax bracket as they have other avenues to utilise such as EPF, children’s education fee, home loan principal, term insurance premium etc. However, the tax exempted nature of return makes PPF a far more appealing option especially when any income is taxed at a rate of 30% or more. | https://www.timesnownews.com/business-economy/why-ppf-is-one-of-the-most-preferred-tax-saving-investments-know-the-reasons-article-92093384 | 2022-06-09T02:22:20Z | https://www.timesnownews.com/business-economy/why-ppf-is-one-of-the-most-preferred-tax-saving-investments-know-the-reasons-article-92093384 | false | 3 |
Saunas have a long and well known history, having been used by Nordic countries, in particular Finland, for many centuries. Their therapeutic properties are many, and they are known to help cleanse the body as well as the mind. Outside of Scandinavian countries, saunas are seen as somewhat of a luxurious item, reserved for wellness clinics, spas, or for the homes of the wealthy. However, a sauna at home might be more affordable than you think. They can be installed as an individual unit in your garden, or can even be incorporated into the shower of your bathroom.
The feeling of a deep sweat is one that is hard to beat. Not only for its health benefits, but also as a means of social interaction, and because of its cultural significance. Some Finnish women still to this day give birth to their children in a sauna, and the sauna forms part of many old Finnish folk tales.
Today, we want to present to you the benefits of using a sauna on your health, and show you how this feeling can be attained, bringing the cleansing feeling into your home bought on by time spent in a sauna.
One of the most beneficial reasons for using a sauna is its ability to relieve stress. When we sweat, endorphins (the body's feel-good chemicals) are released, providing you with that renowned after sauna glow. Stress has such a huge impact on our lives and on our health, with stress being the trigger for many physical and mental conditions. The heat from the sauna relaxes the muscles and improves circulation; two things our bodies need to relax.
Another benefit on the rather long list of advantages of a sauna is the aid in flushing toxins from our systems. By causing the body's core temperature to rise, toxins such as mercury, copper and zinc are expelled through the pores. Detoxifying the body can be done in a number of ways, but it's well known that a sauna is the most effective way to rid our bodies of all the nasties of modern life.
As well as these highly beneficial reasons to run straight for the sauna, saunas can also help those with sleeping problems. Researchers have found those who use saunas regularly sleep better, with the carry on effects of this almost endless.
By exposing the body to steam and heat, more white blood cells are produced in the body, helping the immune system combat the flu, and other viruses. They can also help those with sinus issues or allergies; the steam from traditional Finnish saunas helping to clear the nasal passage. By opening up the pores, heat created from a sauna can also benefit those with skin issues, the deep sweat induced causes old skin cells to be replaced. Modern shower designs can now incorporate a steam room or sauna into their design, making them more accessible than ever, allowing the benefits to be enjoyed by all, in the privacy of your own bathroom.
The cliché image of two old men spending time together in a sauna is not too far from the truth; for those cultures that have always used a sauna, it is a place to socialise and meet up with friends to relax. On top of this, saunas simply make us feel good. They are a relaxing space whether to use alone or with friends, and their warmth is a relief from the bitter winters of those who have always enjoyed their benefits. So if you want to feel better, look better, and sleep better, why not consider a sauna for you and your family?
If we've got you motivated to get on track to good health, take a look at our article on at-home gyms. | https://www.homify.co.uk/ideabooks/21683/why-you-should-own-a-sauna | 2022-06-09T02:25:22Z | https://www.homify.co.uk/ideabooks/21683/why-you-should-own-a-sauna | false | 1 |

Businessman Raj Kundra, on Wednesday, returned to Twitter after almost a year to wish his wife and actor Shilpa Shetty Kundra on her 47th birthday.
Taking to Twitter, Raj captioned a goofy photo of himself with wife Shilpa, "Happy Happy Birthday my soulmate Love you eternally. My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. Love this picture...True to your song...killer killer killer lagdi."

Meanwhile, Shilpa's sister Shamita Shetty, who has reportedly broken up with former Bigg Boss co-contestant and actor Raqesh Bapat, took to her Instagram Story to share a video in which Raj is seen happily standing next to wife Shilpa Shetty as she cuts her birthday cake.
Check out the video which has been on several of Shilpa's fan pages, below:
Raj Kundra's earlier post on Twitter was on July 19 last year and he has apparently not rejoined his Instagram account.
He was arrested in July 2021 for allegedly producing pornographic videos and was granted bail in September. He was booked under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Indecent Representation of Women (Prevention) Act and the Information Technology Act.
Shilpa and Raj have been married since 2009 and have two children together -- son Viaan and daughter Samisha. Viaan was born on May 21 while Samisha was born in 2020 via surrogacy. | https://www.dnaindia.com/bollywood/report-raj-kundra-returns-to-twitter-after-almost-a-year-on-his-wife-shilpa-shetty-s-birthday-2959018 | 2022-06-09T02:26:14Z | https://www.dnaindia.com/bollywood/report-raj-kundra-returns-to-twitter-after-almost-a-year-on-his-wife-shilpa-shetty-s-birthday-2959018 | true | 1 |
The Foo Fighters are coming together to honor their late drummer, Taylor Hawkins, who died in March.
Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear and Rami Jaffee will take the stage in September for two Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts. The first show will take place on Sept. 3 at London's Wembley Stadium and the second is set for Sept. 27 at The Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
The shows "will unite several" artists whom Hawkins idolized along with "the Hawkins family and of course his Foo Fighters brothers in celebration of Taylor’s memory and his legacy as a global rock icon," a press release for the concerts explained on Wednesday. "His bandmates and his inspirations playing the songs that he fell in love with, and the ones he brought to life."
Lineups for the shows along with ticket information will be released soon via the Foo Fighters' website.
Following the announcement of The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts, the drummer's wife, Alison, shared her thanks on Instagram “for the outpouring of love each and every one of you have shown our beloved Taylor."
"Your kindness has been an invaluable comfort for my family and me during this time of unimaginable grief," she continued. "As Taylor's wife, and on behalf of our children, I want to share how much you meant to him and how dedicated he was to 'knocking your socks off' during every performance. Taylor was honored to be a part of The Foo Fighters and valued his dream role every minute of his 25 years with them."
"We consider every band member and the extended Foo Fighters team our family," she added.
Hawkins was found dead at his hotel in Bogotá, Colombia, on March 22, with "the presence of 10 different substances: THC (Marijuana), tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines and opioids, among others," in his system, according to the Attorney General's Office in Colombia at the time. He was 50.
The Foo Fighters confirmed Hawkins death in an emotional statement on Instagram.
"The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins," the band's message read. "His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever. Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family, and we ask that their privacy be treated with the utmost respect in this unimaginably difficult time."

On June 1, 2022, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Department of the Treasury ("OFAC") issued three new FAQs regarding OFAC's Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies ("CMICs") Sanctions program. The new FAQs were issued to coincide with the deadline by which US persons were authorized to divest from the securities of designated CMIC entities ("CMIC Securities").
The previous US administration introduced the CMIC Sanctions Program in November 2020 with the issuance of Executive Order ("EO") 13959 ("Addressing the Threat From Securities Investments That Finance Communist Chinese Military Companies"), which was later amended by EO 14032 ("Addressing the Threat From Securities Investments That Finance Certain Companies of the People's Republic of China") in June 2021 (collectively, "EO 13959").
See 31 C.F.R. Part 586.
The new FAQs reinforce two key points regarding the CMIC Sanctions Program:
- First, US financial institutions may continue to facilitate transactions in CMIC Securities for and on behalf of non-US clients.
- Second, the 365-day divestment window is permissive, not mandatory, meaning that US persons may continue to hold CMIC Securities after the relevant divestment deadline, e.g., June 3, 2022 for entities named in the annex to EO 14032. However, although US persons may continue to hold CMIC Securities outside the divestment window, doing so comes with the practical risk that it will not be possible to sell the position going forward, as long as the CMIC Sanctions Program remains in effect.
We summarize the new FAQs below:
- FAQ 1048
FAQ 1048 asks whether, after the end of the relevant 365-day divestment period authorized pursuant to EO 13959, US financial institutions are required to block the attempted purchase or sale of CMIC Securities.
OFAC advises that blocking is not required under EO 13959. On the other hand, transactions that are prohibited by EO 13959 must be rejected and reported to OFAC within 10 business days. OFAC clarifies that attempts to sell CMIC Securities solely for the purpose of divestment, if such attempts occur outside the 365-day window for divestment, must also be rejected.
On the other hand, OFAC notes that US financial institutions "may continue to intermediate purchases or sales by or from non-U.S. persons to or for non-U.S. persons." See FAQ 863. OFAC's express acknowledgement that US persons may facilitate the purchase and sale of CMIC Securities by non-US persons remains one of the distinguishing features of the CMIC Sanctions Program.
- FAQ 1047
FAQ 1047 asks whether persons holding CMIC Securities may receive stock splits, cash dividends, or dividend reinvestments related to the CMIC Securities, and whether US financial institutions are allowed to process transactions related to such activity.
OFAC advises that US persons may continue to receive passive benefits from holding CMIC Securities such as cash dividends and stock splits, and that US financial institutions may continue to process such transactions.
However, OFAC warns that dividend reinvestment would constitute a "purchase" of CMIC Securities and is therefore prohibited under EO 13959.
Notwithstanding this restriction, OFAC reiterates that US persons may continue to facilitate the distribution of dividend reinvestments for non-US persons after the relevant divestment period.
- FAQ 1046
FAQ 1046 asks whether US persons are required to divest their holdings of CMIC Securities before the end of the relevant 365-day divestment period pursuant to section 1(c) of EO 13959.
OFAC advises that divestment is not required; the 365-day divestment window is an authorization to purchase or sell covered CMIC Securities solely for the purpose of divestment, but does not impose a divestment obligation. On the other hand, US persons would be prohibited from divesting from any holdings of CMIC Securities that they continued to hold after the end of the divestment period.
As a practical matter, given the lack of certainty over how long the CMIC Sanctions Program or the sanctions against individual CMICs will last, US persons and companies would be well-served to consider divesting by the divestment deadline, since their ability to divest following the deadline will effectively depend upon the Program being suspended (or on the sanctions against individual CMICs being terminated).
The divestment deadline varies depending upon when an entity was designated as a CMIC. For those entities named in the annex to EO 14032, the deadline to divest was 12:01 am (EST) on June 3, 2022. For entities designated after that date, it is 12:01 am on the date that is 365 days from the date of designation.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances. | https://www.mondaq.com:443/unitedstates/export-controls-trade-investment-sanctions/1198974/ofac-issues-three-new-faqs-on-chinese-militaryindustry-complex-company-sanctions | 2022-06-09T02:28:29Z | https://www.mondaq.com:443/unitedstates/export-controls-trade-investment-sanctions/1198974/ofac-issues-three-new-faqs-on-chinese-militaryindustry-complex-company-sanctions | false | 1 |

Download: Costume Designer Danny Glicker On The Power of Shape for Peacock’s ‘Angelyne’
There is pink in nearly every frame of Peacock’s fluffy, fame-obsessed limited series, Angelyne. Every time that Emmy Rossum’s title character struts on screen, we are treated to a feast of lace, spandex, and the color pink. With such an iconic and colorful character like Angelyne, dressing Rossum for the role of a lifetime was a dream come true for costume designer, Danny Glicker. He brings the sparkle, respect, and shimmer to the demanding role.
A look that we see throughout the series is Angelyne in the interview chair. She is the gateway for us to understand her side of the story, and, surely, Angelyne wants to look a certain way as she is getting interviewed. Glicker knew it had to be a bold look since we see it in every episode.
“The idea behind that outfit is that it’s covered in pink stars. The stars are a little piece of her soul, and they are there to represent her and the Walk of Fame. Angelyne, as we created her in the show, is very inspired by the real person, but it’s also a fantasy of everything that she represents. In our show, I think she understands the power of image so well, and she presents herself in her talking head that pays respect to the level of iconography that’s she’s embraced her entire billboard career. In a weird way, I imagine that outfit wasn’t given much thought. She intuitively knew the power of the image. I knew that I wanted it to be bold and graphic, and I knew it would pop in the room. These are all things that Angelyne thinks about. And, of course, the sparkle.”
Angelyne briefly mentions Frederick’s of Hollywood while she is driving around Los Angeles with Alex Karpovsky’s Jeff Glasner, and Glicker was eager to talk to me about what the store meant to Los Angeles. Imagine how many hours Angelyne spent scouring the store in order to find dresses. That little line informs us so much of how much the billboard queen love the city of angels.
“Frederick’s of Hollywood, especially in its heyday, represented the fantasy of Hollywood. So much of their power of merchandising was creating these elaborate fantasies. In some ways, more than the clothes that they were selling Angelyne knew the fantasy of what they were selling. The vintage catalogs of Frederick’s were huge influences in my research and mood board. It’s a ton of what I like to call the Jayne Mansfield pink and the leopard. There is a real emphasis on shape and the cinched waist and the torpedo bustline, so I wanted to interpret that into what they were selling. Why is that alluring? Trying to get into Emmy [Rossum] into how those clothes communicate and how they make the wearer feel. One of the central themes of the show, to me, was, ‘What does Angelyne see when Angelyne sees Angelyne?’
If you look at Angelyne’s wardrobe all at once, you might think that she found her silhouette and fabrics at a very early age. She knew how to accentuate her body the way that she wanted, and she immediately knew how to capitalize on her shape. Glicker would always look for that secret nod or wink to give the costumes even more flair.
“One one hand, I let the research drive me, and there are moments where I can create with accuracy the look and feel of something iconic. Just as importantly, it was about understanding the feel of Angelyne as its own language to allow the fabric to expand into vocabulary. There is a retro sense of glamour and sexiness, and that is juxtaposed to a very contemporary sense of splashy, punk, spandex. But it’s always intense pink and intense black. It was always about trying to find a secret wink or Angelyne magic. The dress she wears for her ride with Jeff is a crushed pink velvet, and my favorite thing about it is there are teeny, pink-fused holograms of it. You think you are seeing her in one thing, but there is an intentional, secret sparkly. The most important thing in terms of the world of fabrics was being really transported. There was usually a bold element and a secret element to surprise you when you spent more time with her.”
One of the first times we see Angelyne in all red is when she has a brief interaction with Wendy Wallach before Angelyne goes to shoot Earth Girls Are Easy. It’s a little jarring to see Rossum in a different color, but it’s still romantic, youthful, and sexy. Rossum glows in that dress.
“It was inspired by a real outfit that Angelyne wore for one of her first movies. It was always a fun balance trying to find places where pink doesn’t exist just to give the audience a place for their eyes to rest or to give them something new. That dress is simple, but what I love about that red is that while it’s a departure, I chose a fabric that has a sparkle to it since I knew she was in the sun. She has a fairy quality since it shimmers. We called it the ruffle dress.”
Even with so many gorgeous, feminine pieces of clothing throughout Angelyne, Glicker knew what he would swipe from the set if he had the chance. I revealed that I wanted every button-up shirt worn by Tonatiuh Elizarraraz’s Andre. At the end of the series, Glicker dresses Rossum in a stunning showgirl outfit that shows us how Angelyne wants to present herself to the world.
“It’s a deep question, because when you are dressing a character, you are unlocking their truth. You are always trying to push away from your own objective point of view to get to a character’s authenticity. The outfit that I would keep as a memento is the showgirl dress that Angelyne descends on the pink moon on. It’s a showgirl bodysuit in what I’m calling fleshy neutral silver. When she descends on the moon, she is wearing mirrored, 11-inch platform heels. We knew that she was descending so we mirrored them. She is a goddess being born to the world, and she is stripped of her artifice. She shimmers because of her beauty. Even though it’s very elaborate, Angelyne is in her purest form, and she views herself as a gift to everyone.”
Angelyne is streaming now on Peacock. | https://www.awardsdaily.com/2022/06/08/danny-glicker-interview/ | 2022-06-09T02:35:48Z | https://www.awardsdaily.com/2022/06/08/danny-glicker-interview/ | true | 1 |
(WSVN) - The driver who hit him had insurance, but her insurance company refused to pay for his repairs because their customer refused to talk to them about the accidents. Is that legal? The answer is here, in tonight’s Help Me Howard with Patrick Fraser.
When Marlon has some spare time, he likes to hit the road as an Uber driver.
Marlon Campos, insurance won’t pay: “Just get out there and make some extra money.”
Marlon says most passengers are nice. It’s the drivers on the road that caused his problem.
Marlon Campos: “I had a car in front of me, and then all of a sudden, somebody slammed into my rear, causing me to hit the car in front of me.”
Marlon and his Uber passenger were OK. His vehicle was not.
Marlon Campos: “The car behind me was completely smashed. My car was completely smashed in the back.”
His front end was damaged after being pushed into the car ahead of him, but there was a rarity in the accident for South Florida.
Marlon Campos: “You know, realize that everybody on the scene had insurance, the person that hit me, I had insurance.”
In fact, Marlon and the bad driver have the same insurance, but they refused to pay through the at-fault driver’s policy because — are you ready for this? — they say their client won’t discuss the accident with them.
Marlon Campos: “Because every time they would schedule her to come in and give her side of the story, she wouldn’t show up.”
Marlon then asked them to pay through his policy … and got smashed twice.
Marlon Campos: “They denied my claim with my policy because they said I was driving for Uber.”
And…
Marlon Campos: “‘Because we found out that you work for Uber, we’re not going to renew your policy.'”
Uber’s insurance did agree to pay, but their deductible is $2,500, which Marlon can’t afford.
And Marlon wants the insurance company of the driver who hit him to pay for the damage she caused.
Marlon Campos: “I find it unfair that an insurance company can just deny your claim when their driver is clearly at fault.”
Two people have the same insurance company, which won’t pay through either person’s policy. Needless to say, Marlon feels like he is in another wreck.
Marlon Campos: “Yeah, I’m losing from every side. From every single side, I’m losing.”
Well, Howard, can a car insurance company refuse to pay for the damage their customer caused because that customer won’t talk to them?
Howard Finkelstein, 7News legal expert: “Yes, they can, because it’s in the contract between the at-fault driver and the insurance company, and Marlon has no right to force that insurance company to pay for his damages because he is not a party to their contract.”
We tried to contact the driver who hit Marlon. She treated us like the insurance company and wouldn’t talk to us, either.
We contacted United Automobile Insurance Company, who insured the at-fault driver.
Their rep said, “We did nothing wrong in Mr. Campos’ claim and no further comments.”
So, Howard, as a driver, how do you protect yourself?
Howard Finkelstein: “First of all, have your own insurance to cover your damage. Marlon was driving commercially for Uber, so his personal insurance would not pay. The other option? Sue the at-fault driver in small claims court.”
Marlon Campos: “I mean, shame on the insurance.”
Marlon will now go through Uber’s insurance. He says, after the $2,500 deductible, he gets $1,900 to try to repair his damaged SUV.
Marlon Campos: “It was a very frustrating experience.”
It’s surprising that if the driver who causes an accident refuses to cooperate, then their insurance won’t pay for the damage they caused, but it will cost the woman in this case. Since she won’t cooperate, they don’t have to repair her car, either. It’s why we do Help Me Howard. We learn something new every day.
Feel like a wreck? No one cooperating with you? Smash through to get in touch with us, and let us insure you get the help you need.
With this Help Me Howard, I’m Patrick Fraser, 7News.

LONDON -- US Open champion Emma Raducanu expects to be fit to feature at Wimbledon despite pulling out of the WTA event in Birmingham following her latest injury setback.
Raducanu's Wimbledon preparations suffered a blow when she was forced to retire from her Nottingham first round match against Viktorija Golubic on Tuesday.
The 19-year-old lasted only seven games before a side injury ended her first appearance on home turf in Britain since winning the US Open last year.
Raducanu admitted after the match that she had "no idea" if she would recover in time to play at Wimbledon.
But a scan appears to have allayed those fears and the British number one is confident of making it to the All England Club, even though she won't risk playing in Birmingham next week.
"It was disappointing to go out this week with a side injury and unfortunately will no longer be able to play in Birmingham," Raducanu told lta.org.uk on Wednesday.
"I'm looking forward to being back on the match court soon though to enjoy the rest of the grass season."
While Raducanu will no longer feature in Birmingham, she could enter the Eastbourne event, which takes place a week before Wimbledon starts on June 27.
In Raducanu's opening season on the WTA tour, she has been plagued by a number of fitness issues with hip and back complaints coupled with blisters during the past few months.
Raducanu has been forced to retire from matches three times since her stunning run from the qualifying rounds to US Open glory in New York.

Step Back in Time features news items from The Daily Star 25 and 50 years ago.
25 years ago
June 9, 1997
ALBANY — State environmental officials have agreed to a deal requiring New York City to fund $500,000 of watershed projects to make amends for pollution violations at city-run wastewater treatment plants, including two in Delaware County.
The settlement relates to state environmental permit violations three years ago at treatment plants in Margaretville, Grand Gorge and Tannersville. State Department of Environmental Conservation officials said Friday that the city has agreed to provide money to fund six projects to help protect water quality to the three communities and improve forest management, toxic cleanup training and environmental education throughout the watershed west of the Hudson River.
The deal is in addition to the wider-ranging, billion-dollar watershed pact announced last year.
“It’s an added bonus to us as the people in the watershed,” said Middletown Town Supervisor Alan Rosa, president of the Catskill Watershed Corporation.
50 years ago
June 9, 1972
ALBANY — Governor Rockefeller has signed legislation that apparently paves the way for phasing out state-supported elementary schools on State University campuses, including Bugbee School at Oneonta.
Enactment of the measure fueled speculation that the state would move within a year to close down the so-called campus schools or shift the burden for operating them to local school districts.
The state measure provides for special impact aid to school districts where enrollment increases because of the phasing out or closing of a campus school. Although the aid will vary from district to district, Education Department spokesmen estimated that it would average out to about $60 a year for each student absorbed by a local district.
This payment, according to Education Department spokesmen, will be in addition to regular state aid of about $516 per student in the school district and an incremental increase in growth aid, based on the size of the school district and the number of campus school students it absorbs. | https://www.thedailystar.com/community/step-back-in-time-june-9-2022/article_adf21648-e67c-11ec-9737-17c088fdf663.html | 2022-06-09T02:43:50Z | https://www.thedailystar.com/community/step-back-in-time-june-9-2022/article_adf21648-e67c-11ec-9737-17c088fdf663.html | false | 1 |
The Fenimore Art Museum will host the dedication of a new Wyeth-inspired mural by artist Josh Sarantitis that “celebrates the region’s sense of community.”
According to a media release from the museum, the event will take place at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 11, in Pioneer Park on Main Street in Cooperstown.
The mural is connected to Fenimore’s summer exhibit “Drawn from Life: Three Generations of Wyeth Figure Studies.” Attendees will hear from Sarantitis and others including Victoria Browning Wyeth, granddaughter of well-known American artist Andrew Wyeth and curator of the current Wyeth exhibition at Fenimore, the release said. The dedication will be followed by a variety of family-friendly art activities and plein-air painting demonstrations by local artists throughout the day.
Local youths will participate in the painting of the mural on the days leading up to the dedication, the release said.
“I believe involving people in the creative process can transform lives, which is why participation and collaboration are key elements to my work,” Sarantitis said in the release. “Hands-on experience teaches people what their creative potential can be, connecting them with the creative process and demystifying the barriers to accessing and producing art.
“Through holistic, meditative approaches my work showcases what people can do with their hands to strengthen communities and sustain vibrant neighborhood life. In all of my projects I seek to connect local people to opportunities that enhance their quality of life from teaching hands-on creative skills to providing real job skills in the arts,” he said.
The mural is a collaboration between the village of Cooperstown and Fenimore Art Museum.
Mural paints were donated by Golden Artist Colors. | https://www.thedailystar.com/news/local_news/fenimore-to-dedicate-mural-in-cooperstown/article_2a7a7d5e-e763-11ec-9613-b75178221713.html | 2022-06-09T02:45:10Z | https://www.thedailystar.com/news/local_news/fenimore-to-dedicate-mural-in-cooperstown/article_2a7a7d5e-e763-11ec-9613-b75178221713.html | false | 1 |

Recently, we talked to a number of homeowners and it came out loud and clear that keeping the bathroom clean is the most important as well as difficult part of their daily life.
Well, it's surely tough to maintain the hygiene of washrooms, but its not impossible. Here is how you can step towards a cleaner and better washroom with little efforts.
Closed washrooms develop certain types of smells within and you really need to push it out. Exhausts do this job in a quick manner, keeping the inside air fresh.
The first step towards keeping the area all time organized is by removing the clutter. With the washroom surfaces covered in makeup and hair tools, the place is bound to appear dirty.
In fact, with such placements, it even gets hard to clean the surface. Your goal should be to find an actual space where you can place all your things without creating chaos. The washroom of this house shows you how clean even a small space can be.
Your washroom surely needs a few pair of tools to maintain the cleanliness. The mistake that some of the homeowners do is that they keep these tools in open and you really don’t need to do that.
As we said above, the key to keeping your bathroom clean is keeping less things in the open. What you can do is – get a small toilet brush that can be hidden behind the seat or one that is covered in a nicely designed box. In the same way, wash clothes can be stored inside a box.
The main reason behind developed stains on the pot or the walls is that they are ignored often. A few moments of wiping regularly can lessen your task. Once you do it, only a small attention will be needed for the stains that are tough.
Grab one of the conveniently-placed flushable wipes and wipe it through the seat, lid, and base of the toilet bowl. Even the counters and mirrors need a quick cleaning session on a regular basis.
It's a washroom and water is almost everywhere, every time, and there are times when you need to leave in a hurry. But one day of hurry can add a lot of work for you. To help the water and soap scum roll down on its own, you can opt for water repellents. Just one coat and it will make the entire cleaning task a whole lot easier for you.
The designers of this washroom have put a complete emphasis on colorful shelves. Shelves are going to make your washroom more arranged and this is even suitable for functionality. The shelves are fitted sporadically up to the wall and looks nothing like an enchanting artwork. This is kind of a real charm added to a boring washroom.
Most people try to complete the cleaning of the house in one go. But, this is always considered a wrong approach towards doing a cleaning job. Try to accomplish the job in parts and leave the washroom for a seperate day. Consider this one trick and cleaning the washroom will never be delayed again. | https://www.homify.in/ideabooks/1352883/8-simple-ways-to-keep-your-small-bathroom-tidy | 2022-06-09T02:58:00Z | https://www.homify.in/ideabooks/1352883/8-simple-ways-to-keep-your-small-bathroom-tidy | true | 1 |
A look at what’s happening around baseball today:
___
UNLUCKY 13
Free falling toward a dreadful bit of team history, the Angels fired manager Joe Maddon on Tuesday and appointed third base coach Phil Nevin to the role on an interim basis.
Los Angeles still lost its 13th straight game Tuesday night against Boston, matching a franchise record. The slide comes weeks after the club had one of the best records in the American League and amid an unprecedented slump for star Mike Trout.
Trout left Tuesday’s game with left groin tightness, and the Angels went on to lose 6-5 in 10 innings.
The 68-year-old Maddon went 130-148 with the Angels, who hired him before the coronavirus-shortened 2020 season for his self-described dream job. Maddon spent three decades of his career as a player and coach for the Angels before going on to an impressive managerial career that has included three Manager of the Year awards.
Reid Detmers (2-2, 4.20 ERA), who threw a no-hitter May 10 against Tampa Bay, is set to start against Boston’s Nathan Eovaldi (3-2, 3.41).
CLOSE CALL
The Mets are tenatively feeling fortuante after slugger Pete Alonso got negative X-rays after being hit in the right hand by a pitch.
Alonso was hit by a 96 mph sinker from San Diego starter Yu Darvish early in a 7-0 loss Tuesday night, and Alonso fell awkardly after getting drilled. While X-rays came back negative, New York still planned to send Alonso for additional testing.
The 2019 NL Rookie of the Year is tied for the NL lead with 16 homers and tops the majors with 54 RBIs.
New York is also awaiting word on the status of outfielder Starling Marte, who left Tuesday with left quad tightness. Marte was sent for an MRI.
CORREA CLOSE
The Minnesota Twins are on track to get shortstop Carlos Correa back from his COVID-19 hiatus, and the fact that they’re playing the major league-leading Yankees in a matchup of AL division leaders wasn’t lost on the two-time All-Star.
“Absolutely, this is an important series, and we’re facing a tough team, so I’m going to make sure I’m out there with the boys,” Correa said Tuesday before sitting out for the eighth straight game.
Correa tested positive in Detroit last week and flew on a medical plane back to Minnesota. He said he experienced “pretty strong” symptoms, including a “massive headache,” sore throat, excessive coughing and body chills, but over the last three days he’s fared better during his workouts at Target Field than he expected.
“The first two days it was tough, but it’s been getting better ever since,” said Correa, one of 16 players the Twins had on the injured list or COVID-19 list. “I’m very optimistic about going out there this series.”
FLUSTERED FISH
Marlins players and coaches met for 90-minutes prior to the club’s home series opener against the Nationals on Tuesday night, then went out and routed Washington.
“A lot of people spoke,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. “It was more of a lot of things that the group needed to get out in the open and talk about. It wasn’t designed about wins and losses, honestly. It’s more about the group coming together and trying to reach their potential.”
After a 12-8 start, the Marlins were 7-19 in May. They are fourth in the NL East and 12 1/2 games behind the division-leading Mets.
“It was my idea to get the group together and talk,” Mattingly said. “We have higher expectations for ourselves as a team. On the baseball side, I’m disappointed about that. On the other part, it was really more about to have everybody talk.”
Budding ace Sandy Alcantara (6-2, 1.81 ERA) looks to extend his recent run of dominance when he starts Wednesday.
Alcantara pitched seven innings of three-hit ball last Thursday in a 3-0 win over San Francisco. The 26-year-old right-hander has gone at least seven innings in his last five starts and allowed only three earned runs. The outstanding stretch has featured one complete game, two eight-inning outings and another two that lasted seven.
AGAINST A GREAT
Rays right-hander Corey Kluber (2-2) is slated to face St. Louis, and he has had tremendous success against Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols. The surefire Hall of Famer is 1 for 20 with a single career against Kluber.
“Obviously, when you face a guy like Albert, you’re aware of it, and I wouldn’t say that it’s an at-bat that I have circled or anything,” Kluber said. “I just think that he’s a really good hitter, and for whatever reason, maybe past matchups have gone my way. But I think I’m going to treat him with just as much respect coming into this game as I would have when I was first getting my feet wet.”
The three-game series marks the Cardinals’ first trip to Tropicana Field June 10-11, 2014.
NEW ATHLETIC
Oakland left-hander Jared Koenig is set to make his major league debut in a start against Braves righty Ian Anderson (4-3) in Atlanta. The 28-year-old Koenig has a 2.21 ERA in nine games with Triple-A Las Vegas.
Koenig will try to end the A’s seven-game slide, a tough test against surging Atlanta, which has won six straight.

NEW YORK, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Netflix, Inc. ("Netflix" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NFLX). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 7980.
The investigation concerns whether Netflix and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
On January 20, 2022, after the market closed, Netflix reported that it "slightly overforecasted paid net adds in Q4," adding 8.3 million subscribers compared to the 8.5 million forecast. The Company also stated that, despite "healthy" retention and engagement, it only expected to add 2.5 million net subscribers during first quarter 2022, below the 4.0 million net adds in the prior year period.
On this news, Netflix's stock price fell $110.75 per share, or 21.7%, to close at $397.50 per share on January 21, 2022.
Then, on April 19, 2022, after the market closed, Netflix reported that it lost 200,000 subscribers during the first quarter of 2022, compared to prior guidance expecting the Company to add 2.5 million net subscribers. The Company cited the slowing revenue growth to four factors, including account sharing with an estimated 100 million additional households and competition with other streaming services.
On this news, Netflix's stock price fell $122.42 per share, or over 35%, to close at $226.19 per share on April 20, 2022.

Mindi Hartzog is making adjustments.
The 42-year-old mother of three in Mandeville works as a direct service provider for adults with special needs. She drives to her clients, shuttling between Hammond, Slidell, Abita Springs and points in between.
But with gasoline prices approaching $4.50 per gallon at local pumps, Hartzog is looking to tap the brakes.
"I have to plan out every day I go out and choose routes," she said. "I map out every day strategically so I don't waste gas."
Hartzog has seen her monthly gasoline bill go from about $700 to $1,000, she said. She's started bringing her lunch more days to cut down on restaurant expenses. And in the evenings, she takes her daughter's smaller car on errands because it's more efficient.
Hartzog's challenge is confronting most south Louisiana families this summer, as post-pandemic travel ramps up but uncertainty around the world and restricted gas supplies are driving prices to levels not seen in more than a decade. Since fuel is such a foundational aspect of the nation's economy, the steep rise in gas prices has created an entire constellation of higher prices that are hitting everyone hard.
Climbing oil prices
There is little relief in sight. Earlier this week, investment bank Goldman Sachs predicted that crude oil prices would get to $140 per barrel later this summer, up from their current $120. Unlike earlier this year, when prices briefly approached $140 and then retreated, the markets could see a sustained period of $140 per barrel, the bank said.
The price of crude oil makes up about 60% of what people pay when they gas up their cars, said Eric Smith, with the Tulane Energy Institute. On Monday, gas prices averaged $4.88 per gallon around the nation, up from $4.59 about two weeks ago, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
It's much worse on the West Coast, where averages are well over $5 per gallon. Louisiana residents are in a better place than most areas of the country, Smith said.
"We are sort of fortunate to be at the nexus of where the costs are going to be the least because shipping costs are low," he said. "Louisiana has some of the lowest prices in the country."
The problem, according to Smith, is that domestic energy producers are running at near capacity, but demand is higher than it was even before the pandemic.
"People are so used to the convenience of gasoline and diesel, we are used to getting these things that sometimes we are shocked when it doesn't work out so well."
Smith also pointed to conflicting messages from the Biden administration, which he said wants short-term increases in production while stalling new oil and gas development by refusing to lease lands and delaying pipeline investments from oil companies.
Federal officials "are attempting to get two things that are diametrically opposite," he said.
Summertime impact
The immediate impacts could be felt by Louisiana's tourism sector, said Don Redman of AAA Louisiana. Even though Memorial Day travel was robust -- which normally indicates a big travel summer -- high gas prices could rein in that optimism, he said.
"I think the price has a lot in the travel industry concerned," he said. The last time similar pressures were felt was 2008, when crude approached $150 per barrel and the average gasoline price in Louisiana was around $4 per gallon.
"People just didn't travel as far or as long," Redman said. Many Louisianians, he said, opted to visit state parks or other, closer attractions.
AAA said the statewide average price Wednesday was $4.49 per gallon.
Tim Sandman, a financial planner who lives on the north shore but whose office is in Metairie, said he feels the high prices every time he drives across the Causeway or ferries his children to local baseball tournaments.
But he doesn't plan to change anything for the moment.
"We haven't really changed our habits," he said. "It's just frustrating, but it's kind of a necessary evil." | https://www.nola.com/news/business/article_4c0f8880-e770-11ec-9c95-17e7ea7cd0d7.html | 2022-06-09T03:18:20Z | https://www.nola.com/news/business/article_4c0f8880-e770-11ec-9c95-17e7ea7cd0d7.html | true | 1 |
Logan Gilbert pitches Mariners to series win over Astros
Logan Gilbert produced his fifth consecutive quality start, Cal Raleigh homered for the second time in the series and the visiting Seattle Mariners defeated the Houston Astros 6-3 on Wednesday in the rubber match of the three-game set.
The Mariners won their fourth consecutive series and second over the Astros in that span. Seattle finished a nine-game road trip at 6-3 by snapping a nine-series losing skid in Houston.
Gilbert (6-2) settled in following a rocky start to his outing. He surrendered run-scoring hits to Yordan Alvarez in the first and third inning, the second Alvarez hit part of the two-run uprising that produced a 3-1 Astros lead.
Gilbert allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks with three strikeouts over six innings. The right-hander tossed a season-high 109 pitches, 67 for strikes. Gilbert improved to 2-1 with a 2.73 ERA over his past five starts, with 28 strikeouts against eight walks in that stretch.
The Astros grabbed a two-run lead when Kyle Tucker followed an RBI double from Alvarez with a first-pitch single to right in the third. But Seattle fashioned an immediate reply against Astros right-hander Jose Urquidy (5-3), starting with an Abraham Toro leadoff single in the fourth.
Two batters later, Raleigh mashed his seventh home run out to right-center field, pulling the Mariners even at 3-3. Raleigh clubbed a three-run homer in the Mariners' victory on Monday.
Two batters following the Raleigh blast, Ty France pushed Seattle to a 4-3 lead with his ninth home run, a 370-foot shot to left-center.
The Mariners chased Urquidy with one out in the fifth on an Adam Frazier sacrifice fly that scored J.P. Crawford, who opened the frame with a double.
France, Crawford and Toro produced muti-hit games.
Urquidy endured another ragged start against the Mariners, allowing a career-high four walks while giving up five runs (four earned) on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out three. In three starts vs. Seattle this year, Urquidy is 0-3 with a 10.38 ERA.

(NewsNation) — As home prices hit record highs and mortgage rates increase, the message for prospective buyers is simple — wait if you can.
In recent months, the total number of new homes sold has started to decrease, dropping an estimated 16.6% from March to April, according to census data. The decrease may indicate that surging demand is finally starting to slow down.
It’s just one indication that the housing market may be responding to a flurry of ever-changing macroeconomic forecasts in recent months.
Earlier this week, the World Bank cut its global growth estimate for the year, citing the ongoing damage from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the war in Ukraine.
The report warned that an economic period where prices continue to rise even as growth slows called “stagflation” — not seen since the 1970s — could be looming.
In order to reverse the trend, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates to curb demand with the hope that post-pandemic supply levels rebound and inflation slows.
Those interest rate hikes have pushed 30-year fixed-rate mortgages above 5% for the first time in more than a decade, an increase that may come as good news to some and bad news for others.
Housing slowing
There are some signs that even the red-hot U.S. housing market is beginning to slow down.
Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes fell for the third consecutive month in April amid record home prices and surging mortgage rates, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR).
The number of new homes sold also fell, dropping an estimated 27% from the year prior, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The recent decline suggests rising mortgage rates are starting to slow down the historically high demand seen since the onset of the pandemic.
“It looks like more declines are imminent in the upcoming months, and we’ll likely return to the pre-pandemic home sales activity after the remarkable surge over the past two years,” said NAR’s chief economist Lawrence Yun in a press release.
Despite the recent drop in total homes sold, prices remain near record highs.
The median existing-home price in April was $391,200, almost 15% higher than April 2021. The median sales price for a new home was $450,600 in April.
But that doesn’t mean another great recession is right around the corner. In fact, a drop in demand could help restore supply in a market that has been plagued by record low inventory since the pandemic housing boom began.
As inventory rises, experts say prices should improve for those looking to buy.
“For buyers who have patience and can wait, it’s likely that in just a few months we’re going to see a very different housing market,” said George Ratiu, a senior economist with Realtor.com, in an interview with NewsNation last week.
Renters feeling the pressure
As home buyers wait for market conditions to improve, renters are also feeling the pressure from rising prices.
In April, the median rent in the 50 largest U.S. metropolitan areas climbed to a record $1,827, up 16.7% from the year before, according to a report from Realtor.com.
With cities bouncing back from the pandemic, landlords have had an easier time finding tenants. The national rental vacancy rate has held below 6% for the last three quarters.
Recent data suggests renters in urban centers aren’t the only ones feeling the squeeze. Prices for affordable housing, such as mobile homes, have also increased significantly.
The national sales price for manufactured homes has risen nearly 50% since the start of the pandemic, from $82,900 in March 2020 to $122,500 in January 2022, according to census data.
Although many people own their mobile homes, those same homeowners often pay to rent the land under their property. And while it’s unclear how much those rents have increased, a report from the Washington Post this week found a consistent upward trend over the past year.

Buxton went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs in Wednesday's win over the Yankees.
Buxton singled and scored in the bottom of the fourth frame before launching a solo shot off Nestor Cortes in the following inning. The homer was his 13th of the season and second in his last four contests. The outfielder has notched at least one hit in nine of his last 11 contests, raising his average from .202 to .224 over that stretch while adding two homers, three RBI and six runs. After a very difficult first two months at the plate, Buxton could be turning a corner as the calendar has shifted to June. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/twins-byron-buxton-two-hits-including-homer/ | 2022-06-09T03:23:35Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/twins-byron-buxton-two-hits-including-homer/ | false | null |

Half a century later, no one comes close to Ziggy Stardust
There’s a starman waiting in the sky. The kids are down here hiding from their parents in a million darkened bedrooms, scanning their devices for some hot new pop saviour to set them free, to say “Give me your hands, you’re not alone”. You know, like always.
This being 1972, this particular alien beams down on a morse code signal nicked from the Supremes, leaps a showy octave a la Judy Garland then goes full T-Rex electric boogie. Lady Stardust, as he’s enigmatically identified, cracks the big-time in half a dozen songs flat, then gets killed off by his fans at the end of side two.
Messianic, mercurial and gone in 39 minutes and 29 seconds, Ziggy Stardust left the best-looking corpse in recorded history.
Next week, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, to give the venerable album its full title, turns 50. Impossible, right? With his outrageous shock of red hair, lipstick and blusher and skin-tight jumpsuits, Ziggy still looks fantastic in the trailer to Moonage Daydream, the first estate-sanctioned David Bowie documentary, unveiled at Cannes last month.
That’s because he’s from the future. And outer space. Or anyway some place where time and gravity and the affiliated demands and ravages of show business can kiss his swishy white Kansai Yamamoto kimono.
“Can you imagine anything uglier than a nearly 60-year-old Ziggy Stardust?” Bowie guffawed when I inquired after his most infamous creation in 2002. At the time, he was “running like f---” from a typically mischievous thought bubble about exhuming Ziggy for a stage musical or movie.
“As an idea,” he decided, “I think he works better.” As an idea, Ziggy blew our minds so completely in the glam-tastic 1970s that every rock star since has laboured feebly in his shadow. He came on so loaded, man. A perpetual supernova illuminating Kabuki, Kubrick, Burgess, Brel, Burroughs, Brecht, Lindsay Kemp, Fritz Lang, suffragettes, man-love, pink monkey birds and a hundred other things we had to search out in imported magazines, look up in the school library, or just try to imagine.
On record, Ziggy was half-baked to perfection: a bundle of cyphers and suggestions and made-up words skirting plot holes that demanded unheard-of leaps in teenage intelligence. That was partly because even as he was making the album (10 days, wham bam thank you ma’am), he was a work-in-progress, an expression willing itself into a concept.
On the album cover, for instance, he didn’t even have the iconic haircut together. The arrival story that launched him up the charts, Starman, was a hasty afterthought to appease a record company that didn’t hear a single: a collision of commercial imperative and creative genius that would have made Andy Warhol gasp.
With his futuristic outer-space perspective and all, Ziggy was the one who saw rock for what it was: a big pose. He was the first meta rock star, singing his own stardom into existence; becoming a legend by sheer force of pretending. “So inviting, so enticing to play the part,” he sang. “I could play the wild mutation as a rock’n’roll star.”
For those of us deprived of Mississippi mud between our toes, the role-playing thing was crucial. Not for Ziggy the denim straitjacket of rock in its native (and strictly heterosexual) American habitat, where authenticity was compulsory. “Things to them are black and white. It’s either ‘rawk’ or it’s not,” Bowie wrote in 2001. “We Brits putter around in the grey area. In our minds, it’s ‘a little bit rock, a little bit snigger’.”
A little bit “yikes”, too. Ziggy may have been all smirking and swashbuckling pantomime, but there were no fake flowers in the world he landed in. On track one, Earth had five years left to die in. A TV news guy wept as desperate insanities took hold in bleak streets. Contrary to pop wisdom, love was not all we needed. That idiot notion was slapped down in a triptych of grieving mother, clueless youngsters and deluded priest on track two, a deceptively bitter anti-love song called Soul Love.
“For me and several of my friends, the ’70s were the start of the 21st century,” Bowie wrote in the mainly photographic tome Moonage Daydream (with Mick Rock) in 2005. “There was a distinct feeling that ‘nothing was true any more’ … everything was up for grabs. If we needed any truths, we could construct them ourselves.
“We are the future, now,” was his rather bold assessment. “The one way of celebrating that was to create it with the only means at our disposal … a rock’n’roll band.”
Alas, star gazers, it’s looking increasingly unlikely with every passing year that another rock’n’roll band will beam down from the ether to make all the children boogie. Rock soldiers on in the margins of this century with plenty of noble bravado, but not much ingenuity. Critical mass has passed. Still so inviting, so enticing to play the part, but it’s nobody’s future now. Rock’n’roll was ripe for parody in 1972, for heaven’s sake. Ziggy ticked off the cliches – guitars, groupies, greed, ego, ambition, jealous bandmates, fickle fans, the madness and exhaustion, the whole predictable rise-and-fall engine that keeps the game ticking over – as comprehensively as Spinal Tap a decade later.
In real time, Ziggy even satirised the notion of reinvention. Aladdin Sane, he called himself on the hastily dispatched follow-up album, but the haircut was too bankable to burn and the Spiders toured on to pay the bills through much of 1973. “The girl on the phone wouldn’t leave me alone,” Aladdin sang as another degenerate Los Angeles party spiralled into cocaine-fuelled craziness: “a throwback to someone’s LP”.
“Ziggy was a powerful character,” Spiders drummer Woody Woodmansey told me in 2015. “When you were in a taxi with him it was pretty formidable. You’d say: ‘David, did you see that movie last night?’ and he would look right through you. Plus he would never pay the fare when he was Ziggy.”
From real nobody to fake superstar in 18 months, the trip might well have killed him if he wasn’t so determined to kill himself. He famously made good on his advertised demise at the Hammersmith Odeon in July 1973, as documented by DA Pennebaker’s concert film Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. By the time it hit movie screens, this Bowie character was drying out in Berlin, having cycled through three more alter-egos.
None of them, in the public imagination at least, held a candle to Ziggy. Whether any of the fantastic pop-rock dress-up characters who followed ever did, from Johnny Rotten to Boy George, Prince to Madonna, Marilyn Manson to Lady Gaga to whatever hot new prefab starperson is beaming into a million kids’ bedrooms tonight – well, that’s up to the children to decide. But it’s hard to catch up with a rock star from the future. Especially looking as good as Ziggy Stardust.

ORLANDO, Fla. (WFLA) — A 10-year-old girl has been arrested after she allegedly shot and killed a woman in Orlando on Memorial Day.
The girl was arrested on a second-degree murder charge.
Two women, identified as Lakrisha Isaac, 31, and Lashun Denise Rodgers, 41, began fighting at the barbeque area of the Windsor Cove Apartments just before midnight on Memorial Day, WESH reports.
During the fight, Isaac allegedly handed her backpack to her 10-year-old daughter.
WESH reported witnesses saw the girl searching through the backpack as the two women fought. Then they heard a gunshot.
Deputies told WESH that the girl allegedly yelled, ”You shouldn’t have messed with my mother,” after she fired two rounds.
Rodgers was reportedly shot in the back of the head and later died at a hospital.
Isaac was arrested on multiple charges, including not properly storing a firearm and manslaughter by culpable negligence.
In a statement released Tuesday, State Attorney Monique H. Worrell called it “one of the most tragic cases” she has seen in her 22-year career.
“We encourage the public to remember—no matter your feelings surrounding this tragedy—this is still a child,” she added. “This shooting is an unimaginable tragedy that defies easy solutions.”

Jif recall could cost JM Smucker $125M, company warns
The J.M. Smucker Co. warned Tuesday that the company stands to lose $125 million because of its nationwide Jif peanut butter recall last month.
In its latest earnings report, the company estimated that the "impact of manufacturing downtime, customer returns, and unsaleable inventory, as well as other recall related costs" could result in a $125 million loss for fiscal year 2023.
The company also cautioned that the "ultimate impact from the Jif peanut butter recall could differ materially from these estimates."
On May 20, J.M. Smucker voluntarily recalled select Jif peanut butter products that were sold across the U.S. amid an outbreak of salmonella senftenberg infections.
According to federal health officials, the outbreak, which has left 16 people ill in 12 states, has been linked to certain Jif products produced at the J.M. Smucker facility in Lexington, Kentucky.
Two people have already been hospitalized, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
So far Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, Ohio, North Carolina, New York, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington have reported cases, according to the agency.
SALMONELLA OUTBREAK: SEVERAL COMPANIES PULL PRODUCTS MADE WITH JIF
However, the actual number of people sick is "likely much higher than the number reported, and the outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses," according to the CDC.
Since the recall, over a dozen other companies recalled products that contain J. M. Smucker brand peanut butter, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. | https://www.fox7austin.com/news/jif-recall-could-cost-jm-smucker-125m-company-warns | 2022-06-09T03:49:04Z | https://www.fox7austin.com/news/jif-recall-could-cost-jm-smucker-125m-company-warns | true | 16 |
Dutch appeals court convicts Ethiopian of war 1970s crimes
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — A Dutch appeals court has upheld the conviction and life sentence handed to a 67-year-old Ethiopian-Dutch man who was found guilty in 2017 of war crimes committed under a brutal Marxist regime that ruled Ethiopia in the 1970s. Eshetu Alemu, who was too ill to attend appeal hearings, had sought to have the convictions quashed. But the international crimes section of the Hague Court of Appeal convicted him for his part in a 1977-78 purge by the Dergue regime of former dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam, known as the Red Terror. Some experts say 150,000 university students, intellectuals and politicians were killed in what Human Rights Watch described as “one of the most systematic uses of mass murder by a state ever witnessed in Africa.” | https://kesq.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/06/08/dutch-appeals-court-convicts-ethiopian-of-war-1970s-crimes/ | 2022-06-09T03:50:25Z | https://kesq.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/06/08/dutch-appeals-court-convicts-ethiopian-of-war-1970s-crimes/ | true | 4 |
Gareth Southgate has praised his England players following their draw against Germany in the Nations League on Tuesday (7 June).
Harry Kane’s late penalty ensured the team escaped with a point, while the striker became only the second man to score 50 goals for the Three Lions.
“The core of that team, they put their bodies on the line for each other. And on nights like that you have to do that to get a result,” Southgate said.

Sailor Oyster Bar, a restaurant on West Street near downtown Annapolis, went up in flames Wednesday and forced a section of the street to be shutdown.
Heavy smoke could be seen billowing from the restaurant at 196 West St., as 56 firefighters battled the blaze for about an hour to extinguish the two-alarm fire.
The call came in about approximately 8 p.m. and the fire was under control about 8:55 p.m., said Annapolis Fire Department Lt. Tony Williams, Jr.
West Street between Westgate Circle and Colonial Avenue will be closed for several hours and people should avoid the area, Williams said.
“The two adjacent businesses do have some smoke and water damage,” he said. “We have not confirmed any fire damage to the two adjacent buildings.”
There were no injuries reported. The cause of the fire and where it started is under investigation, Williams said. The estimated cost of damage will also be determined.
Some patrons tweeted that they were drinking at the restaurant when it suddenly caught fire. | https://www.baltimoresun.com/maryland/anne-arundel/annapolis/ac-cn-fire-annapolis-business-firefighters-20220609-resl6bdodbajfofnyzadqjm2la-story.html | 2022-06-09T03:58:47Z | https://www.baltimoresun.com/maryland/anne-arundel/annapolis/ac-cn-fire-annapolis-business-firefighters-20220609-resl6bdodbajfofnyzadqjm2la-story.html | false | 2 |
