Citizen TV news presenter-turned-president Lulu Hassan has addressed the people of Tanzania for the first time after Stevo Simple Boy “swore her in” as their Head of State.
Stevo Simple Boy has lit the internet these last couple of days following his guest appearance on comedian Oga Obinna’s KulaCoolerShow posted to YouTube on Monday, June 6.
In fact, one would be mistaken to think Simple Boy is a comedian. Like I’ve always said, Stevo Simple Boy is a legend.
Short clips of the hilarious 46-minute interview have been spreading like wildfire on social media, one of which sees Stevo Simple Boy wrongly identify Tanzania President Samia Suluhu Hassan as Lulu Hassan.
And when asked what is the name of Rashid Abdalla’s wife, Stevo said he didn’t know.
It did not take long before Lulu Hassan and her husband Rashid Abdalla joined in on the fun. The news-anchoring couple reshared the clip on their socials on Wednesday and helped spread the cheer that Stevo Simple Boy started.
Rashid Abdalla on his part wrote: “Chairman @ogaobinna hii imenimaliza. @stevosimpleboy8 😂😂😂 sisemikitu bro. #kulacoolershow #aminakwadua #raisnisamiasuluhuhassan.”
While Lulu Hassan accepted the presidency and sent out her regards to her citizens.
“Ni mimi Rais Wenu, Nawasalimu sana😂😂 #justforgags” she joked. | https://nairobiwire.com/2022/06/lulu-hassan-addresses-the-nation-after-stevo-simple-boy-named-her-president-of-tanzania.html | 2022-06-09T03:59:44Z | https://nairobiwire.com/2022/06/lulu-hassan-addresses-the-nation-after-stevo-simple-boy-named-her-president-of-tanzania.html | true | 1 |
Undeniably, a manicured lawn is the best option for enjoying the outdoors, but it might not be feasible in every home. Patios are a good alternative as they require less maintenance, since one doesn’t have to worry about frequently mowing the grass to keep it looking perfect.
However, while designing a patio, significant thought needs to be given to the type of flooring that is best suited for the area to keep it looking beautiful for years. Additionally, the material needs to be permeable, offering good drainage. In this ideabook, we’ve put together some of the best flooring options to consider for patios.
Wooden decks have unmatched sophistication and give the patio the look and feel of a resort. Whether you use deck tiles or planks, wood has a natural charm and can fit into either a rustic or a luxury design theme. While it isn’t as popular for the outdoors as the indoors, with a few coats of waterproofing material, it can be perfect for a patio.
Stone offers versatility for patio flooring, besides lending a natural and rustic air to the setting. You can use stone tiles for a modern feel or rough paved stones for a rustic finish. The advantage of using stone is that you will have a long-lasting floor.
In addition to being suitable for the outdoors, terra cotta is a traditional local material in India and is preferred by home owners who want to build environment-friendly homes. The lovely orange-brown tone adds a rustic look to any patio.
Having the patio entirely covered with concrete might not be suitable for an Indian home, especially in summer, as the material gets heated up quickly under the sun and continues to radiate heat in the evenings. Instead, using concrete tiles bordered with grass is a good alternative. It also breaks the monotony of having a single material covering the entire patio.
Slate is another recommended material for patio flooring as it’s perfect for the outdoors. Whether you use uneven tiles to create a mosaic effect or slabs, slate comes in a mix of tones, which add a charming effect to the outdoor area.
While some think that brick is a bit too plain for a patio, others argue that the material is perfect for the outdoors as its porous property ensures good drainage. It’s a practical option for patio flooring and brings a rustic touch – ideal for rural homes or ones with a rustic or country theme.
Gravel adds a stunning element to a patio because of its texture. It’s a maintenance-free option as it prevents weeds from growing underneath, saving the trouble of removing weeds to keep the area neat and tidy. It provides excellent drainage too.
Resins can be bound together with chemicals to present an alternate solution to traditional stone, wood and tiled patio flooring. It’s a great option for large areas and offers good drainage too.

The Interior Department said Wednesday it will phase out sales of plastic water bottles and other single-use products at national parks and on other public lands over the next decade, targeting a major source of U.S. pollution.
An order issued by Interior Secretary Deb Haaland calls for the department to reduce the purchase, sale and distribution of single-use plastic products and packaging on 480 million acres of federally managed lands, with a goal of phasing out the products by 2032. The order directs the department to identify alternatives to single-use plastics, such as compostable or biodegradable materials or 100% recycled materials.
“As the steward of the nation’s public lands, including national parks and national wildlife refuges, and as the agency responsible for the conservation and management of fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats,” the Interior Department is “uniquely positioned to do better for our Earth,” Haaland said in a statement.
The order essentially reverses a 2017 Trump administration policy that prevented national parks from banning plastic water bottle sales. Only a fraction of the more than 400 national parks, but some of the most popular ones like the Grand Canyon, had implemented such a ban.
Environmental groups hailed the Biden administration’s announcement, which advocates and some Democratic lawmakers have been urging for years.
“Our national parks, by definition, are protected areas — ones that Americans have loved for their natural beauty and history for over a century — and yet we have failed to protect them from plastic for far too long,” said Christy Leavitt, plastics campaign director for the conservation group Oceana.
Haaland’s order “will curb millions of pounds of unnecessary disposable plastic in our national parks and other public lands, where it can end up polluting these special areas,” Leavitt said. The group urged Interior to move swiftly to carry out changes in reducing single-use plastics.
Oceana said a national poll conducted by Ipsos in November 2021 found that more than 80% of American voters would support a decision by the National Park Service to stop selling and distributing single-use plastics at national parks.
Haaland said the plastics order was especially important because less than 10% of plastics ever produced have been recycled, and U.S. recycling rates are falling as China and other countries have stopped accepting U.S. waste.
Interior-managed lands generated nearly 80,000 tons of municipal solid waste in fiscal year 2020, the department said, much of it plastics.
Of the more than 300 million tons of plastic produced every year for use in a wide variety of applications, at least 14 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean every year, and plastic makes up 80% of all marine debris found from surface waters to deep-sea sediments, the department said.
Many marine species ingest or are entangled by plastic debris, causing severe injuries or death, and plastic pollution threatens food safety and quality, human health, coastal tourism and contributes to climate change, the department said.

Caught on camera: Flying wheel hits multiple vehicles along Highway 1 in Metro Vancouver
Multiple vehicles were struck and a man was taken to hospital with serious injuries after a loose wheel flew down Highway 1 over the weekend.
The incident, which was caught on dash-cam video, happened near Burnaby Sunday. Drivers travelling at high speed were forced to react quickly after a pickup truck lost one of its wheels.
Burnaby RCMP said it was contacted at about 2:30 p.m. after the wheel came off the truck, which was heading east. The wheel went over the median, hitting several vehicles in the westbound lane near the Kensington Avenue exit.
Video of the incident shows the wheel bouncing off one vehicle and it appears a windshield shatters. Other drivers can be seen swerving to avoid the wheel as it flies through the air.
A grey minivan was one of the vehicles hit, with its hood, windshield and interior dashboard damaged. A man who was inside the vehicle was taken to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Mounties said the driver of the pickup truck, who the wheel belonged to, was located and is co-operating with the investigation.

Johnny Depp’s lawyer says claims by Amber Heard’s representatives that jurors had been “tainted” by the case’s publicity when reaching their verdicts in the case are “baseless”.
Benjamin Chew, who was part of the actor’s legal team, said aspersions cast on juror integrity by Elaine Bredehoft in a recent interview were “really disappointing” to hear.
Ms Bredehoft made the remarks during an interview with US news programme Today shortly after verdicts were returned in the multi-million dollar defamation case.
Mr Depp sued his former partner over a 2018 op-ed written in the Washington Post, which his lawyers said falsely accused him of being physically and sexually violent towards her.
Discussing Ms Bredehoft’s claims during the interview Mr Chew told Law and Crime Network: “I was really disappointed to hear that because she’s a very good lawyer, very experienced.
“It seemed to cast aspersions on the jurors’ integrity because, as you know, they took an oath not to watch social media and there’s no reason to believe that they did.
“So to hear such a baseless claim was disappointing.”
During her interview Ms Bredehoft also told Today there were “a number of evidentiary issues”, which Mr Chew said was “absurd”.
“There are rules of evidence and both sides had evidence that were excluded for proper evidentiary reasons,” he said.
Ms Heard will “absolutely” be appealing the verdict and has “excellent grounds” to do so, Ms Bredehoft has said. | https://www.shropshirestar.com/entertainment/showbiz/2022/06/09/depp-lawyer-claims-jurors-were-tainted-by-trial-publicity-are-baseless/ | 2022-06-09T04:14:01Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/entertainment/showbiz/2022/06/09/depp-lawyer-claims-jurors-were-tainted-by-trial-publicity-are-baseless/ | false | 7 |

The Chief Press Secretary to Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State, Mr Christian Aburime, has issued an official statement debunking reports that the just concluded teachers’ recruitment computer-based test was a scam.
Aburime, in the statement, made it categorically clear that the computer-based test was not a charade and that the governor, being a man of impeccable character and integrity, would not engage in anything inimical and detrimental to Ndi-Anambra.
The statement reads thus: “The attention of Anambra State Governor, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, has been drawn to the reports and insinuations making the rounds on the teachers recruitment examinations held in the state on Saturday, June 4, 2022.
“The test was conducted in line with the cardinal objective of Professor Soludo and his administration on strengthening and repositioning the education sector in the state. This tallies with the conviction of the Governor that education remains equipment for an enhanced living and building a better society.
“To ensure transparency in the exercise, the Ministry of Education, charged with the responsibility, received the registration of over 40,000 applications.
“The ministry listed about 31,800 qualified applicants after a series of reviews. Applicants that were considered too old for civil service, graduates without NYSC discharge certificate or exemption letter and other deficiencies were disqualified.
“Against the proposed 5000 qualified applicants to be shortlisted for the CBT examination, the Governor directed that all the over 31,000 listed applicants should be given equal chance to participate in a preliminary online examination, before short-listing the successful applicants for the second phase of the CBT examination.

“Other measures necessary to attain the reliability and credibility of the test were taken. The reported mix-up arising from the online examinations site was not intended.
“The Honourable Commissioner for Education, Professor Ngozi Chuma Udeh, has made necessary explanations on the matter and has submitted her reports on the exercise to the governor.
“It is uncharitable to refer to any shortcoming in the examination, as ‘Soludo 419,’ as reported in some quarters. Anambra State and indeed, Igbo land, are known for according respect to leaders and people elected to offices. We should endeavour to keep to that commendable standard.
“Professor Soludo is a product of sincere and transparent background in all his academic endeavour and career undertakings. He will not engage in any attempt to short-change the good people of Anambra State, and indeed anybody, for that matter.
“Efforts are being made to look into the incident that occured during the examinations to ensure that candidates with genuine cases are given another opportunity to make up.
“We ask the candidates and other people who were affected by the development to remain calm while the government sorts out the issues and takes the necessary actions.”
“The Governor pledges fairness to all, at all times.” | https://tribuneonlineng.com/anambra-teachers-recruitment-not-a-scam-cps/ | 2022-06-09T04:16:10Z | https://tribuneonlineng.com/anambra-teachers-recruitment-not-a-scam-cps/ | false | 1 |

NEW YORK, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of IronNet, Inc. ("IronNet" or the "Company") (NYSE: IRNT). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 7980.
The investigation concerns whether IronNet and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
On December 15, 2021, IronNet announced its financial results for the third quarter ended October 31, 2021 and issued revenue guidance for the coming year. For 2022, IronNet advised that the Company expected revenue of approximately $26 million, down sharply from previous guidance, issued in September 2021, in the range of $43 million to $45 million. On an earnings call later that day, the Company stated that "we and Sean Foster, our Chief Revenue Officer, have mutually agreed that he will depart our company at the end of December to pursue other opportunities." IronNet also admitted on the earnings call that, despite having first publicly issued IronNet's fiscal year 2022 guidance in March 2021, the Company did not have any confidence as to when substantial revenues underlying the guidance would actually come in.
On this news, IronNet's stock price fell $2.14 per share, or 31.47%, to close at $4.66 per share on December 16, 2021.
Pomerantz LLP, with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Paris, and Tel Aviv, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation.

Should You Invest in Nvidia Right Now?
It has been a trying time for investors across the technology space, even those holding shares of best-in-class, profitable companies like Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). Nvidia pioneered the use of graphics processing units (GPUs), and not just for high-end gaming and visualization. It also adapted the parallel-processing capabilities of GPUs to help accelerate artificial intelligence applications, which require huge amounts of extremely fast processing power.While macroeconomic headwinds have taken down the stock from its peak in November, there are still a lot of positive things going on at Nvidia, and it has an exciting pipeline of innovation. So after a steep decline that has it trading more than 40% below its high -- and with a bit of bounce underway in recent weeks -- is now the time to buy this all-star chip stock? During a challenging quarter for the economy, Nvidia continued to shine. Its first quarter revenue rose 46% year over year to $8.29 billion, and adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings gained 49% to $1.36 per share. Both figures beat analysts' consensus expectations. However, Nvidia did guide for a sequential revenue decline due to a $500 million headwind caused by the latest COVID-19 lockdowns in China (which it expects to sap $400 million in gaming revenue) and sales not being made in Russia ($100 million in data center revenue). While the lost revenue from Russia may never be recovered, the missing sales to customers in China should reappear as the country lifts restrictions in Shanghai and Beijing.Continue reading

The Herald
Crime Reporter
The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) said they had noted with concern that there is group of criminals masquerading as officers from the commission, targeting cross-border buses, demanding various amounts of bribes.
This comes after at least four buses were approached by these criminals in separate incidents especially along the Harare-Beitbridge Highway on Tuesday.
The bus crews were made to pay bribes ranging between US$100 and US$400.
In a statement, Zacc confirmed the incidents and warned bus crews to be wary of these criminals.
“ZACC wishes to warn members of the public that there is a syndicate of criminals purporting to be ZACC officers and demanding bribes from cross-border bus crews. On the 7th of June, a six-men gang using an unidentified white pick-up truck intercepted a Jasto Luxury Coaches bus travelling from South Africa between Harare and Beatrice.
“Claiming to be ZACC officers carrying out an anti-smuggling operation, the gang demanded a USD$400 bribe which the bus crew paid. ZACC understands that the gang also stopped three more buses travelling from South Africa and forced the crew to pay US$100 bribes,” Zacc said.
The commission added, “We wish to advise cross-border bus crews and members of the public that ZACC officers do not demand bribes when executing their duties. On the other hand, the bus crews and other members of the public must refuse to pay bribes when asked to do so.
“Instead, when approached by anyone claiming to be from ZACC carrying out their duties, members of the public must demand positive identification.”
Meanwhile, members of the National Taskforce deployed in Beitbridge under operation, “No to cross border crimes,” have arrested a conductor, Given Siwela (24) for bribery at Nottingham Turn off roadblock along Bulawayo-Beitbridge Road.
The suspect offered police R100 bribe, after the driver of a Toyota Hiace he was travelling in was arrested for failure to register a trailer and failure to have current vehicle licence. | https://www.herald.co.zw/zacc-warns-bus-crews-to-be-wary-of-bogus-officers/ | 2022-06-09T04:28:59Z | https://www.herald.co.zw/zacc-warns-bus-crews-to-be-wary-of-bogus-officers/ | false | 3 |

Achieva Becomes Florida’s First Credit Union To Allow Customers To Buy Bitcoin
Achieva Credit Union released a new application that allows customers to buy and sell bitcoin, becoming the first of its kind in Florida to do so.
- Achieva Credit Union has become the first of its kind in Florida to allow customers to purchase bitcoin.
- The functionality was released in a new application on Tuesday.
- Customer curiosity for bitcoin rose once the credit union allowed third-party services to enable bitcoin purchases.
Florida-based Achieva Credit Union became the first credit union to offer customers the ability to buy and sell bitcoin through a new app, according to a report from the Tampa Bay Times.
The app reportedly went live this past Tuesday through a partnership with bitcoin bank NYDIG, which specializes in connecting traditional financial infrastructure to the bitcoin ecosystem.
Previously, Achieva customers were only capable of making bitcoin trades through third-party applications. Tracy Ingram, chief digital and infrastructure officer at Achieva, explained that integrating the service into the credit union’s proprietary app would give a greater level of access to its customers.
In fact, in the past year Achieva watched as $2.6 million of third-party bitcoin transactions took place, according to Ingram. Customer curiosity since the enabling of these extended services has widely grown for the credit union.
“They’ll come in, they’ll call and ask, ‘What are we doing? What should we look at?’” Ingram explained. “There’s a lot of consumers out there who are crypto-curious, and that’s no different for our members. They’re really looking for information and education about, ‘What is cryptocurrency? How does it all work?’”
Prior to the release of the new app, the credit union reportedly gave $10 to each of its employees to buy bitcoin for educational purposes, both personally and for a training exercise in the application. NYDIG upped the ante by providing another $5 per employee.
Transactions with bitcoin on the application will incur a 2% service fee and Achieva made it very clear that bitcoin deposits are not backed up or insured by the National Credit Union Administration.
On the subject of regulation, Ingram stated:
“From a compliance regulation standpoint, that’s always part of our focus, of really ensuring that we are working with those experts who know what’s coming.”

The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) continues to be the best ranking Indian universities, so much so that it is regarded as one of the fastest growing higher educational institutes in Asia, according to the 19th QS University Ranking. This year, as many as three India institutes have managed to gain spot in top 200, however, most of the popular colleges across country including DU, JNU, Jamia, University of Hyderabad and others have shown a decline in performance.
According to the rankings, 13 Indian universities have improved their research impact relative to global competitors, seeing a rise in the Citations per Faculty (CpF)score. However, Indian universities continue to struggle with QS’ measure of institutional teaching capacity. As many as 10 of the 41 universities featured in the ranking have shown a decline in their positions. This year’s QS World University Rankings is the largest ever, with 1,418 institutions across one hundred locations, up from 1,300 last year.
Globally, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) continues to retain the top spot. In the top 5 spots as many as three are secured by US-based colleges ad two by UK. China too has shown better performance than India with five universities in top 50 and eight in top 200.

Even though Delhi University is 10th best Indian university in India, internationally, it has slipped to the 521-530 category from 501-510 bracket earlier. JNU’s ranking which was between 561-570 earlier declined to figure in the 601-650 bracket. Jamia Millia Islamia which was between 751-800 last year is now between 801-1000. The rankings showed that Jamia Hamdard has declined to figure in the 1201-1400 bracket from being ranked between 1001-1200 in the last edition.
Other popular Indian universities including University of Hyderabad (from 651-700 to 751-800), Jadavpur University (from 651-700 to 701-750) and IIT-Bhubaneswar (from 701-750 to 801-1000) too have lost their spots. Indian universities struggle with QS’ measure of institutional teaching capacity and faculty and student ratio (FSR) indicator.
QS University Ranking 2022: World’s Top 10
“This edition of the QS World University Rankings reflects the excellent work that several Indian universities are doing to improve their research footprint, with positive consequences for their reputation on the global stage. Conversely, our dataset also suggests that the Indian higher education sector still struggles to provide adequate teaching capacity. Further expansion of provision both within universities and across the sector as a whole will be necessary if India is to continue reaching new heights,” said Ben Sowter, QS Senior Vice President.

Foreigners' net stock selling continues for 4th month in May
SEOUL, June 9 (Yonhap) -- Foreigners withdrew more money than they injected into South Korea's stock markets for the fourth straight month in May amid worries over economic slowdowns in major countries and the fallout from the ongoing war in Ukraine, central bank data showed Thursday.
Net foreign money outflows from the main bourse, KOSPI, and secondary tech-heavy KOSDAQ markets, came to $1.29 billion last month, according to the data from the Bank of Korea (BOK).
This represented the fourth straight month that foreigners had pulled out more money than they parked in local equities. But the figure was much smaller than the previous month's net outflows of $4.26 billion.
South Korea's stock markets have been weighed down by worries over tightening monetary policy in advanced countries and corresponding economic slowdowns.
Market woes have also been amplified by the protracted war in Ukraine, which has propelled oil and key commodity prices even higher and added to inflation woes.

Malaika Arora Recalls Son Arhaan's Reaction After Her Road Accident; 'He Was Howling On The Phone'
In April this year, Malaika Arora met with a road accident near Khopoli on Mumbai-Pune Expressway when she was returning back home after attending an event. The actress was hospitalised for a brief period as she sustained minor injuries.
Malaika in her recent interview with ETimes, recalled her son Arhaan's reaction to her road accident. She revealed that Arhaan who is currently studying in the US, was howling on the phone and wanted to immediately fly back to India. She further added that though everyone assured him about her well being, he refused to believe them. He pacified only after Malaika spoke to him.
The Kaante actress told ETimes, "I had just come back after seeing Arhaan. It had just been 48 hours and the incident happened. I was on work in the US and he had a spring break. So we also spent a lot of time together. After my accident, he was howling on the phone, and he was worried and just ready to hop on to the next flight. What do you expect from a kid in such a situation, especially when he's miles away from home?"
She further added, "Everyone was talking to him but he didn't want to believe anyone. His friends had called and told him things. He had no clue of the extent of damage that I had suffered. He only wanted to be sure that I was fine. Although he was told everything about my surgery and recovery, he didn't believe anyone. He thought everyone was merely pacifying him. We were both not at peace till we hadn't spoken. I knew he was aware of what had happened, and once I got off sedation, I spoke to him and assured him that I was okay. Life is so fragile and weird. One minute, you are bouncing and the next minute, you can come that close to death."
Arhaan is the son of Malaika and her ex-husband Arbaaz Khan. He is currently pursuing his higher education in a university in the US. Previously, Malaika had taken to her social media handle to pen a touching note to describe how she has been missing Arhaan after he flew abroad. | https://www.filmibeat.com/bollywood/news/2022/malaika-arora-recalls-son-arhaan-s-reaction-after-her-road-accident-he-was-howling-on-the-phone-335904.html | 2022-06-09T04:58:27Z | https://www.filmibeat.com/bollywood/news/2022/malaika-arora-recalls-son-arhaan-s-reaction-after-her-road-accident-he-was-howling-on-the-phone-335904.html | false | 1 |

Triangle eyes production boost after well workover
Triangle Energy Global hopes to increase production from its Cliff Head platform by replacing a downhole electrical pump that failed last year after 12 years in operation at the field, the only offshore producing facility in the prolific Perth Basin. The well was closed in September. The phased workover is expected to bring an extra 130 barrels a day from Cliff Head 10.
The average life of an electrical submersible pump, or “ESP” is about four years. To get 12 years operation in a harsh marine environment is an excellent performance. When it failed in September last year, its absence was sorely felt by Cliff Head joint venture partners. The workover operations on the CH-10 well started today.
The replacement work on the failed ESP will be phased in over the coming months.
In addition, the JV expects to increase oil production by isolating a deeper water producing reservoir.
Triangle hopes the extra 130 barrels of oil per day will lift daily production from the ageing field back above the 800 barrel mark whilst the oil price remains above US$115 per barrel.
The JV recently announced a lifting from the field that brought in about A$21 million – the last tranche of Cliff Head oil to be sold through BP Kwinana before the venture trucks its product to Geraldton and onto south-east Asian markets.
The 500 tonne Cliff Head A platform was installed in December 2005 after the 2001 Cliff Head-1 discovery well and three subsequent appraisal wells. Crude oil is piped 14km onshore to the dedicated Arrowsmith processing plant and will be transported by trucks to the port of Geraldton for export to south-east Asian markets now that BP has shut its Kwinana refinery.
In October 2020, BP stunned WA producers when it announced it would shut the Kwinana refinery after 65 years of operation, affecting virtually every onshore oil producer in the state.
Securing alternate export channels has been a challenge for the industry. The Cliff Head partners decided to increase capacity by refurbishing storage tanks at the Arrowsmith Stabilisation Plant and use Geraldton as an export route.
The CH-10 well workover will allow the CHJV to restore the production lost due to failure of the downhole pump and furthermore to increase production by shutting of water from a deeper reservoir.
As Triangle shifts its focus onshore and into gas exploration, the company will revert from 78.75 per cent ownership to a 42.5 per cent stake in a move that will slash Triangle’s abandonment liabilities for the offshore oil field and associated assets.
The company has its sights on deeper gas fields along the route of the Dampier-to-Bunbury natural gas pipeline in the Perth Basin such as the large Waitsia, Senecio, Walyering, West Erregulla and Lockyer Deep gas fields. The 117 million cubic feet per day flow rates from Lockyer Deep were among the highest recorded in Australia.

New Delhi: The Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, is the fastest rising South Asian university among the coveted QS World University Rankings top 200 varsities, having gained 31 places while four IITs have also figured in the category attaining a higher rank compared to the previous edition.
Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), London based global higher education analyst, on Thursday released the 19th edition of the world’s most consulted international university ranking.
The Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, which has bagged the 172nd position, is India’s second best institution, rising five places while IIT Delhi has risen eleven places to bag 174th rank.
The IIT Kanpur has risen thirteen places to its highest position (264) in the history of these rankings, while the IIT Roorkee rose 31 places to its highest rank ever (369).
The rankings revealed that IIT Guwahati has gained eleven places, reaching its best result of all the editions of the QS World University Rankings while IIT Indore is the highest-ranking debutant in this edition, placed 396th globally.
OP Jindal Global University is the highest ranked private university for the third year in a row, according to the rankings.
A total of 41 Indian universities have featured in the ranking of which 12 have improved, 12 remained stable, 10 declined while seven universities are new entries.
According to the rankings, 13 Indian universities have improved their research impact relative to global competitors, seeing a rise in the Citations per Faculty (CpF)score.
Conversely, Indian universities continue to struggle with QS’ measure of institutional teaching capacity. Thirty of India’s 41 ranked universities have suffered declines in QS’ Faculty and Student Ratio (FSR) indicator, with only four recording improvements, it showed.
However, on an encouraging note, now two Indian universities rank among the top 250 for faculty and student ratio, compared to none in previous editions.
The highest performing in this metric is Savitribai Phule Pune University (225th for FSR) and OP Jindal Global University (235th for FSR), followed by IISc Bengaluru (276th for FSR).
“This edition of the QS World University Rankings reflects the excellent work that several Indian universities are doing to improve their research footprint, with positive consequences for their reputation on the global stage.
“Conversely, our dataset also suggests that the Indian higher education sector still struggles to provide adequate teaching capacity. Further expansion of provision both within universities and across the sector as a whole will be necessary if India is to continue reaching new heights,” said Ben Sowter, QS Senior Vice President.
“The National Education Policy (NEP), 2020 aims to achieve equity, inclusivity, and quality across the education sector. Prime Minister Modi, his ministers, and the University Grants Commission (UGC) are implementing new frameworks which should radically transform India’s higher education.
“Among these, the multi-modal education framework is instrumental in taking education to remote and inaccessible parts of the country and partially addressing the exponentially rising demand for university places in the largest democracy in the world,” he added.
QS surveyed 99,000 employers and hiring managers globally, whose opinions inform the QS’ Employer Reputation (AR) metric. IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi are the only two national universities to feature among the world’s top-100 in this crucial metric, ranking 59th and 72nd respectively and improving their rank year-on-year, it showed.
India struggles also in the QS’ internationalisation metrics. For example,Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham (1001-1200) is the best-performing local institution for the proportion of International Faculty, ranking 411th globally.
On the other hand, Amity University (1001-1200) is the national leader for the proportion of International students, ranking 542nd globally.
This year’s QS World University Rankings is the largest ever, with 1,418 institutions across one hundred locations, up from 1,300 last year. | https://www.siasat.com/qs-ranking-iisc-bengaluru-emerges-as-fastest-rising-south-asian-university-2345080/ | 2022-06-09T05:09:17Z | https://www.siasat.com/qs-ranking-iisc-bengaluru-emerges-as-fastest-rising-south-asian-university-2345080/ | true | 11 |
A bid for £50million of government cash to boost Lancashire – with the focus on the east of the county – is set for approval on Thursday.
Lancashire County Council’s cabinet will discuss the draft of its submission to the national £4.8billion ‘Levelling Up’ fund covering its 12 districts.
The bid has to be in Whitehall on July 6. Outside of the county council remit, Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council is submitting a separate ‘Levelling Up’ bid worth £40million.

The fund is designed to invest in infrastructure that improves everyday life across the UK. The £4.8bn fund will support town centre and high street regeneration, local transport projects, and cultural and heritage assets. The bid will prioritise levels of employment, health, physical activity, air quality, car ownership, road accidents, walking and cycling, and bus and rail services.
Officials have assessed that parts of East Lancashire will be the most likely to benefit and have the greatest potential to meet the fund’s objectives. They have proposed three thematic interventions for the districts of Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle and Rossendale.
They are:
- Creating ‘Liveable Neighbourhoods’ by making places attractive to investors, by connecting places and communities, providing access to jobs, and boosting high streets and residential areas;
- Improving public transport by upgrading its infrastructure cutting and journey times to boost economic opportunities; and
- Promoting active travel by connecting existing and proposed routes for leisure purposes, increasing walking and cycling footfall, to improve health and well-being.
Lancashire County Council’s economic development boss Cllr Aidy Riggott said: “A huge amount of work has been undertaken to identify the areas that would benefit the most from the Levelling Up Fund, and in determining the most effective way to use this money. Crucially, whatever we include in our bid must be deliverable and must also meet the fund’s core objectives.”
Hyndburn Borough Council leader Cllr Miles Parkinson said: “We welcome Lancashire County Council’s levelling up bid. This shows how councils can work together to apply for funding to government to make improvements for our residents and businesses.”
A Rossendale Council spokeswoman said: “The council is working up its bid to the Levelling Up Fund and intends to submit its bid in July. The bid will comprise an exciting package of proposals to improve Rossendale’s town centres.” | https://www.lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/lancashires-50m-levelling-up-bid-24174709 | 2022-06-09T05:11:30Z | https://www.lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/lancashires-50m-levelling-up-bid-24174709 | true | 1 |

CleanCarbon converts waste into syngas, hydrogen, heat and electricity, chemicals, and liquid fuels by applying the latest in Europe patented technology in the field of waste conversion. CleanCarbon’s facility and operation provide its investors with sound revenue streams resulting from the production and use of hydrogen. Besides revenue from waste disposal for local governments and enterprises, CleanCarbon monetizes black carbon. The project's UHTG installation produces black carbon as a by-product of its gasification process.
Syngas produced by CleanCarbon contains between 40-75% hydrogen. The range of CleanCarbon’s products from its waste-to-energy conversion plant is high in demand across the industry.
CleanCarbon raised about 2 million dollars in two presale rounds in April/May 2022. Investors accumulated 28.7M tokens in the first presale round in April, plus another 15M CARBO tokens in just a few days in May 2022.
The platform launch is planned for the same day the CARBO token starts trading on PancakeSwap on the 12th of June 2022, 13:00 UTC. The launch price on PancakeSwap will be the same as during the presale periods.
The token is a real asset-backed utility token aiming to provide significant incentives to cultivate a hold-to-earn culture. As a sign of commitment, the team has locked its tokens for 25 months, and only 4% of the locked CARBOs will be released monthly. For the marketing department, tokens are also partially locked and will be used to promote CARBO.
The CARBO token has a deflationary design. The total supply of CARBO is 500,000,000. There will never be more tokens minted and added to the circulation. All CARBO tokens purchased during the presale have a vesting period. A limit of 4000 CARBO tokens per day will be released to "every" holder. The CARBO token is paired to BUSD, a stablecoin on Binance Exchange, and designed to provide resilience against wild market fluctuations.
CARBO token holders are rewarded with sustainable financial incentives, such as staking rewards in BUSD, accumulating native reflections in CARBO, and bonuses from the different CARBO scores on CARBO's platform.
The reward mechanism functions through a buy and sells tax from every transaction on PanCakeSwap. The CARBO treasury will collect a 5% buyer's tax on every PancakeSwap transaction, and a 5% seller"s tax will increase the liquidity pool on PancakeSwap.
The platform contains multiple token utilities collected in one place for users' convenience. Interactions with the Smart Contract, CARBO score, and airdrops are just some of the present utilities for investors' convenience. Lately, CleanCarbon's management has started intensified two-way communication with well known motor corporation. Talks are about the profitable usage of hydrogen in rental cars in CleanCarbon's first geographical holiday location, Fuerteventura.
The strategic part of the company (CleanCarbon FZCO) is registered in Dubai and funded with an initial capital of $200,000 in the Digital Silicon Oasis Zone. Responsible for the project's physical installations on Fuerteventura is CleanCarbon Solutions SL, the operational headquarter for Spain.
In the first quarter of 2022, CleanCarbon applied for subsidies managed by the national and regional authorities in Spain and Fuerteventura. CleanCarbon Solutions SL ticks multiple boxes in the current geopolitical landscape and is entitled to receive subventions in various specified categories of European Union funding.
CleanCarbon’s subvention partner, Finnova, ensures CleanCarbon fulfills all requirements to receive subventions directly from the EU funds. Finnova and CleanCarbon will apply for the complete large-scale subvention package that includes CleanCarbon’s Research and Development facilities and the first project's expansions.
CleanCarbon’s social media exposure has rapidly increased from March until the end of May. The community is experiencing strong growth in the numbers of its members and investors, going from zero to 28,000 organic members in just 80 days.

BEIJING (AP) — China’s trade growth rebounded in May after anti-virus restrictions that shut down Shanghai and other industrial centers began to ease.
Exports surged 16.9% over a year ago to $308.3 billion, up from April’s 3.7% growth, a customs agency statement said Thursday. Imports rose gained 4.1% to $229.5 billion, accelerating from the previous month’s 0.7%.
China’s trade has been dampened this year by weak export demand and curbs imposed to fight outbreaks in Shanghai, site of the world’s busiest port, and other cities. Consumer demand for imports was crushed by rules that confined millions of families to their homes.
Forecasters have cut estimates for China’s economic growth to as low as 2% this year due to the Shanghai shutdown, well below the ruling Communist Party’s target of 5.5%. Some expect activity to shrink in the quarter ending in June before a gradual recovery begins.
Most factories, shops and other businesses in Shanghai, Beijing and other cities have been allowed to reopen but are expected to need weeks or months to return to normal activity levels.
“Exports showed considerable resilience in May despite the impact of the protracted lockdown in Shanghai,” said Rajiv Biswas of S&P Global Market Intelligence in a report. “The outlook for the second half of 2022 is for a stronger rebound in imports as domestic demand recovers.”
China’s politically sensitive global trade surplus widened by 82.3% over a year earlier to $78.8 billion. That was among the highest monthly trade gaps but below December’s record $94.4 billion.
China’s “zero-COVID” strategy that confined Shanghai’s 25 million people to their homes starting in late March helped to keep case numbers low but disrupted manufacturing and trade and crushed consumer demand.
The Port of Shanghai says the number of cargo containers handled each day returned to 95% of normal by late May. However, a backlog of tens of thousands of containers is likely to cause delays that will be felt around the world.
Import figures got a boost from higher global prices for oil and other commodities while the volume of foreign goods bought grew less strongly.
Authorities responded to complaints about the soaring cost of “zero-COVID” by switching to a more targeted approach of isolating buildings or neighborhoods with cases instead of cities. But some areas covered by restrictions that have closed shops, factories and offices for weeks at a time have millions of inhabitants.
China’s economy grew by a weak 4.8% over a year earlier in the quarter ending in March. That was an improvement over the 4% rate in the final three months of 2021, but the current quarter's economic indicators in the current quarter are dismal.
Auto sales in April fell by almost half from a year earlier. Retail spending was off by a worse-than-forecast 11%.
The ruling party is trying to shore up growth with tax refunds to entrepreneurs, easier credit and spending on building public works. The World Bank warned this week that the “old playbook” policies might delay efforts to encourage growth based on consumption instead of debt-fueled investment.
High debts “store up further risks down the line,” the bank’s chief China economist, Ibrahim Chowdhury, said in a statement.
As Shanghai reopens, many factories plan to split workforces into two groups, with only one on the job at any time, to limit disruptions if there are more outbreaks and quarantines, according to foreign business groups.
“It will be months at least, and possibly years, before all the people who were working get back to work,” Carl B. Weinberg of High-Frequency Economics said in a report this week. | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/China-s-trade-rebounds-in-May-as-anti-virus-curbs-17229552.php | 2022-06-09T05:26:26Z | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/China-s-trade-rebounds-in-May-as-anti-virus-curbs-17229552.php | true | 21 |
Arizonans with HOA’s now have more options when it comes to flying flags on property
PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) - Thanks to Governor Ducey signing HB 2010 on Monday, Arizonans living in HOA communities will soon get the chance to fly a wider variety of flags on their property.
Flags supporting first responders, law enforcement, and the military were included in the bill. But other popular flags, like pride flags and BLM flags, remain subject to HOA approval. “This is just another example to me and to members of our community of the good-old boys system,” Peoria resident Nickole Langston said.
Langston ran into issues last year with her HOA when she had flags supporting her black heritage in her front yard. But she doesn’t plan on taking those flags down anytime soon. “I’m going to display my flags as I have displayed them proudly,” she said. “If you don’t like my flag, come and take it.”
When Governor Ducey signed HB 2010 into law, Rep. John Kavanagh, who sponsored the bill, felt a sense of justice being served. “There are a small number of HOAs that are very unreasonable and very abusive,” he said.
Both Republicans and Democrats supported the bill, a bill Kavanagh says is another step towards protecting First Amendment rights. “The legislature created these HOAs or at least gave the authority to builders to create these HOAs,” Kavanagh said. “And we’re not going to allow them to run wild.”
Degnan Law Group attorney David Degnan says HOA’s determining what’s ok and what’s not is a slippery slope. “The association could be sued for selective discriminatory enforcement by targeting one selective group or flag, and not the other,” Degnan said. “And so, the association has to really walk a tightrope.”
If Kavanagh had his way, all flags would be acceptable as long as they are not obscene or promoting illegal activity. But he says such a bill would be too broad to be passed by both the House and Senate. “There are some members who believe that because people voluntarily agree to join an HOA when they purchase their property, that they should be civilly bound by the contract they sign,” Kavanagh said. “And that it’s not the job of government to interfere with a private contract.”
A spokesperson for Governor Ducey told Arizona’s Family that the governor is a strong supporter of first responders, so signing this bill was an easy decision.

LOS ANGELES, June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Yuki He, founder and CEO of LiveMe, recently discussed the development of LiveMe and its latest trends with Samsung. LiveMe was awarded the 2021 Samsung Galaxy Store Best Entertainment App among the top performing apps in 2021.
Recognition Motivates
As the company has grown, LiveMe has been recognized by multiple influential media and organizations. When asked what it meant to win this award, Yuki said, "we take this award very seriously and especially thank Samsung for the recognition. With Galaxy Store being one of the largest platforms in the world, being recognized by Samsung also gives us great motivation to continue creating even better products for our users".
LiveMe just celebrated its 6th birthday in April 2022, and from day one, providing the best products to users has been the pursuit of LiveMe. Yuki mentioned the recognition always motivates LiveMe to continue doing what we do best: give our users and the entertainment community the best service.
Diversify More and Include More
DEI represents diversity, equity and inclusion, and has become more widely discussed in the workplace and society. LiveMe has expanded its reach into many countries and serves millions of users, with offices located in the US, Brazil, Egypt, Singapore, China, etc. LiveMe faces challenges related to DEI.
"LiveMe supports multiple languages and is available in many countries, so focusing on content localization based on local culture, trends, and holidays is essential. We are committed to meeting the needs of our diverse users and respecting different cultures and religions. Our goal is to create a supportive community that includes all races, religions, and cultures to connect users in the various regions. As for our management team, it is 40% to 50% women; some of them have been with me for more than five years, building a good relationship with each other. We also have offices in eight countries with different nationalities and cultures, all working together." Yuki replied.
And this female founder mentioned one of her previous speeches at the UN, "At the Women's Entrepreneurship Day (WED) Summit, I encouraged women and girls to become active participants in the economy by becoming leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs. It gave me an opportunity to share my story with young women from all over the world and highlight how LiveMe is empowering women to share their talents and follow their passions".
Bring Income to the Community
Broadcasters can earn money by presenting engaging content in their livestream channel. Yuki explained more, "some broadcasters see this as a hobby, but some make it their professional career. We are not talking about famous celebrities who have their own channels but rather the Uber driver, bar singer or amateur dancer. They can use LiveMe as an entertainment channel and make money doing it as a living. We help 300,000 broadcasters earn money in the U.S. Globally, we have a million broadcasters that are making good money via LiveMe. It's a very powerful story. Not only do they receive gifts from their fans, but they also get benefits from LiveMe. We also give the broadcasters gifts depending on the volume and activity of their fan base. It helps encourage broadcasters to generate new content."
Every month, LiveMe gives several millions of U.S. dollars to the broadcasters. LiveMe has an ongoing plan with a $60 million investment to support its broadcasters and creators.
Yuki added, "everyone is facing different obstacles in life under the influence of the pandemic, so I hope we can create products that give more companionship, happiness, and love to bring our global users together".

A kid with crayons will draw a car with a boot. That’s probably the easiest way to describe how important sedans are. And while we can all agree that, in the past decade or so, SUVs have eaten up into its popularity, and dominated the sales charts and garages, sedans still matter. Luckily, we are seeing that trend on the rise. Sedans, like the underdog getting up in 12th round after a menacing beating, is making a comeback and the products are making us grin. Volkswagen obeyed the regime and decided to bring to India, the Virtus. The replacement to the Vento and a sibling to the Skoda Slavia. So what does it hold at heart, does it have what it takes to bear the burden making a forgotten segment great again? We dig in.
Design
During our drive, we managed to get our hands on both the 1.0-litre TSI and the top-spec 1.5-litre GT variant.
The GT
The Virtus’ overall design language speaks volumes in terms of road presence. For a sedan, the car comes with prominent muscular lines along the shoulder, combine this with the beefed-up bonnet and bumpers and the result is a sedan that will definitely turn a few heads. The GT variant gets blacked out alloys and red brake callipers. Also, a blacked-out roof and who has ever complained about a blacked-out roof? There are a bunch of very attractive paint schemes including the Cherry Red that you see here that looks just beautiful.
Now, the Virtus is the same as Slavia in the bone. But from the sides, Volkswagen has managed to keep the silhouette distinctive and unique. We appreciate that. The Virtus comes as the longest car in its segment with an impressive ground clearance of 179mm, a bonus point for rough city rides and slightly off-the tarmac tales.
At the rear, the sporty elements continue in the form of smoked taillights and a blacked-out spoiler. The sporty elements does more than just distinguish the GT from the lesser Virtus. It gives a sense of speed that will appeal greatly to an enthusiast.
The TSI
The TSI variant stands as the entry point and the more accessible area of the Virtus lineup. In terms of design, the car is everything that the GT is minus the blacked out and the red bits. However, it is a great thing to note, whether a GT or not, the Virtus does manage to impress you from every and any angle possible.
Interiors
It has been said before and I will say it again, Volkswagen interiors never fail to impress. The interior of the Virtus is no different from the previous Volkswagen cars that we have seen. The tale is still German, with superior fit and finish and easy on the eyes.
Volkswagen’s decision to depart from the current fad of the layered dash and a floating infotainment system must be called bold. Instead, the car gets neatly squared-off AC vents, a neat-looking dash with piano finish elements and a neatly integrated infotainment system tilted towards the driver. Speaking of which, getting the techno stuff out of the way, the car gets a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment screen that comes with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. For the driver, there is a fully-digital instrument cluster that reads out the vitals without any unnecessary clutter.
The Virtus gets a hefty amount of features as well. A few of which must be mentioned are wireless charging and an automatic sunroof. Also ventilated seats, which we thought could have been a bit more powerful. But the story of a typical sedan doesn’t end at the first row of seats. At the back, the Virtus fails us a sedan punching into the SUV segment in terms of space. The legroom is generous and the headroom proves to be more than sufficient as well.
Performance and Drive Quality
Now the Polo was a favourite for the enthusiasts and the Vento precedes Virtus. Hence, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that it has got multiple shoes to fill. Beginning with the GT variant that comes with the top-rung 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine at its heart outputting 150hp and 250Nm of torque. However, the engine aside, this variant solely comes with the 7-speed DSG that petrolheads have adored before. We have seen the same engine in the Polo and the Vento and the characters that made it such a darling has been retained in the Virtus as well. The 7-speed DSG proved to be an enthusiastic unit that prefers staying up in the higher gears. At 80kmph, the car quickly climbs up to the seventh gear keeping the revs at as low as 1600-1700rpm. However, the rubber-band effect at low speeds that we used to see in its predecessors has been ironed out and the car is much more forgiving at low speeds. The spread of power is linear and the 190kmph top-speed does not seem like a distant claim.
Now the 1.0-litre TSI is the more accessible variant and it comes with an option of manual and a torque converter. In our time, we drove the torque converter, considering that’s where the brand expectations lie as well. In itself, the 1.0-litre TSI proves to be a serine engine. Picture this, after grinding for 12 hours at your office desk, the 1.0-litre Virtus will make the tedious commute into something enjoyable. This is also the best variant to be chauffeured around in. Now in comparison to the GT, the TSI might be a tad bit slower but is as quick as any other car on the road.
On an open stretch of road, the 1.0-litre might not keep the rest at its tail, but it proves to be the perfect cruising machine where you can smoothly surf on the thick spread of mid-range torque. Combine this with the torque converter that doesn’t mind pushing the revs to the redline and coming down a few cogs, you have yourself an exciting car.
The Virtus feels plush in most conditions, but on deeper potholes, the thud is audible but not evident. the steering, both the in GT and the 1.0-litre proved to be a bit light for my taste and would have inspired a little more confidence if it were a little heavier.
Verdict
Going against a heavy tide is not a thing that can be taken lightly. The SUV tide is reigning no doubt. But the fact that it came at a cost of the decline of sedans might soon be history. Sedans are coming back. And if the Virtus is any indicator of what we can expect from experience brands like Volkswagen, then count me happy.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Ryan Jeffers unleashed a long swing on a cutter from New York’s Nestor Cortes low in the strike zone, then stood at the plate for a second to admire its flight into the third deck.
Two batters later, Byron Buxton sent a down-the-middle slider sailing over the wall and celebrated it by fiercely pounding his chest as he sprinted around first base.
The Minnesota Twins can’t help but enjoy beating the Yankees, especially when it comes against one of the best pitchers in baseball.
Jeffers and Buxton each hit home runs in the fifth inning to force an early exit for Cortes, and the Twins cruised to an 8-1 victory Wednesday that stopped the Yankees’ seven-game winning streak.
The Twins scored one more run than the Yankees allowed combined over the last seven games, handing their longtime nemesis their most lopsided of 16 losses this season.
“We needed a lot of things to go right to score runs like that against Nestor Cortes. He’s a good pitcher. You could see it early in the game, some really odd-looking swings,” manager Rocco Baldelli said. “He has different stuff, but we made great adjustments tonight.”
Cortes (5-2) allowed season highs in hits (seven) and runs (four) in 4 2/3 innings, his shortest appearance of the year that knocked him out of the major league ERA lead with a still-stellar 1.96 mark. This was the first time in 20 starts since Aug. 10, 2021, that he failed to keep the opposition to three runs or fewer. That left him one short of the longest such streak in team history.
“I was commanding all my pitches, throwing them to the right areas. There was a few that got away from me in the fourth and fifth inning I wish I could get back,” Cortes said, “but they’re a good hitting team and they made me battle all night.”
After the Twins went nine up and nine down, they had seven hits in 10 at-bats until Buxton’s 13th homer of the season brought Yankees manager Aaron Boone out of the dugout to pull Cortes.
“He’s having a really good year,” said Twins third baseman Gio Urshela. “Just trying to hit the ball in the zone.”
Chris Archer (1-2) picked up his first victory for the Twins in his team-leading 11th start, completing five innings with only two hits allowed. Archer allowed four walks, but DJ LeMahieu’s sacrifice fly in the fifth was the only damage done by a Yankees lineup that totaled 14 hits the night before.
“They’re tough,” Baldelli said, “but so is he.”
Carlos Correa returned from COVID-19 to give the Twins a big lift, scoring twice, and Buxton reached base three times. Rookie Jose Miranda had a career-high three hits and matched his previous best with three RBIs, contributing one of the five singles in the fourth inning the Twins used to get Cortes off track. Miranda is 8 for 16 with seven RBIs in his last four starts.
“We’re asking a lot out of everyone, and for the most part, we’ve been stepping up,” Archer said.
STANTON’S ADVENTURE
Giancarlo Stanton, who recently returned to the Yankees from a nine-game absence due to inflammation in his ankle, played right field for the first time in 17 days. Stanton had a tough time with two tricky-but-catchable fly balls by Urshela going over his head and hitting the wall.
The first one went for an RBI single in the fourth. The second one was a leadoff double in the sixth that preceded a double by Miranda, when a blooper just inside the line eluded him after first baseman Anthony Rizzo peeled off to yield to Stanton.
Boone, whose versatile outfielders have allowed him extra lineup flexibility, expressed his confidence before the game in Stanton’s ability with the glove. Afterward, Stanton was angry at himself.
“I haven’t had a day like that in a long time, if ever,” he said.
STILL SHORT-HANDED
The return of Correa put another regular back on the active roster for the Twins, but leading hitter Luis Arraez was on the bench with tightness in his throwing shoulder that forced him out in the seventh inning of the game Tuesday.
Arraez was on track to play Thursday, Baldelli said. The Twins have 13 players on the injured list. Starting pitcher Joe Ryan remains on the COVID-19 list.
UP NEXT
Yankees: RHP Gerrit Cole (5-1, 2.78 ERA) pitches Thursday night. He gave up only two hits over seven scoreless innings with nine strikeouts in his last start to beat Detroit.
Twins: RHP Dylan Bundy (3-3, 5.57 ERA) takes the mound in the final game as the Twins try to win their first series against the Yankees since Sept. 10-12, 2018, at Target Field.

Tuesday: Rivals250 released | Biggest risers | Gorney goes position-by-position
Wednesday: Offensive position rankings released | Five teams that should pleased with new Rivals250
Thursday: Defensive position rankings released
Friday: Final state rankings released
*****
NO. 1 AT THE POSITION: Rueben Owens II
There is a cluster of backs all in the top 33 nationally but it’s Owens who is ranked the highest at No. 20 overall and the first player outside of five-star status. The El Campo, Texas, standout was discussed as a five-star candidate in this rankings release but it was decided to hold off until we see more of him against national competition in the coming months.
High four-stars Justice Haynes from Buford, Ga., and Lehigh Acres (Fla.) Lehigh’s Richard Young are also very highly thought of in the rankings but Owens holds a slight edge at this point.
Owens’ recruitment could get really interesting – or not at all. Many believe Texas is the program to beat and he has given numerous indications that the Longhorns are high on the list. But Texas A&M is right there as well and has probably closed the gap, he just visited TCU and Louisville rumors have been swirling recently.
*****
TWO PROGRAMS TO WATCH: Georgia and Texas
Georgia has no problems recruiting running backs and unless a serious surprise is in store, the Bulldogs should land Haynes even though Florida and others are pushing hard. Haynes is a legacy, he’s been high on Georgia for a long time and his relationship with position coach Dell McGree is very strong.
From there, it gets interesting for the Bulldogs. They had been in the mix for Owens but that looks like it’s fallen off. A riser in the rankings, Jeremiyah Love had a phenomenal recent visit to Athens so they could be moving up the list but it seems Michigan and Notre Dame have the edge there. One back in this class might be enough because Haynes is that good but a second isn’t out of the question.
Like so much in this recruiting class, Arch Manning could have influence on his final destination, too, as it refers to running backs. If Manning ends up with the Longhorns then it would be a shock if Owens goes anywhere else. If Manning goes to Georgia, then maybe the Bulldogs get back in the Owens sweepstakes.
Either way, Texas is a team to watch. Owens is a top target but the Longhorns are also bringing in four-star Cedric Baxter from Orlando (Fla.) Edgewater on a visit as they’re one of the finalists in his recruitment. All-purpose back Tre Wisner is already committed to Texas.
*****
THREE PROSPECTS TO WATCH: Richard Young, Jeremiyah Love, Kaleb Jackson
Richard Young might be the best running back in this class – he’s definitely an impressive physical specimen – and only time will tell where he lands in the rankings. Alabama looks to have a healthy advantage in his recruitment. But Georgia, Florida and now especially Oregon is making a serious run at him after a visit to Eugene and the expectation he could return. Still, it would be a surprise to see him anywhere other than Tuscaloosa.
Up to No. 3 at running back, Jeremiyah Love did not have insane statistics last season only because he had to share the ball with other running backs but in some ways that’s a positive for his long-term outlook since he should have some of the freshest legs among this running back crop. He loved his Georgia trip but my sense is that the St. Louis (Mo.) Christian Brothers recruit is most serious about Notre Dame and Michigan.
When it comes to Kaleb Jackson, things could go one of two ways it seems. LSU came in late but now that the Tigers have offered it could be appealing enough for the four-star running back from right down the road at Baton Rouge (La.) Liberty Magnet to pull the trigger and stay home. Being a running back in coach Brian Kelly’s offenses has made for big paydays before. The second option would be for Jackson to head to Texas A&M where he’s received more attention and earlier in his recruitment. The Aggies are building a monster and Jackson could thrive in College Station as well. | https://oregon.rivals.com/news/rivals-rankings-week-breaking-down-the-2023-rbs-1 | 2022-06-09T05:54:59Z | https://oregon.rivals.com/news/rivals-rankings-week-breaking-down-the-2023-rbs-1 | false | 1 |
LOS ANGELES, June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Yuki He, founder and CEO of LiveMe, recently discussed the development of LiveMe and its latest trends with Samsung. LiveMe was awarded the 2021 Samsung Galaxy Store Best Entertainment App among the top performing apps in 2021.
Recognition Motivates
As the company has grown, LiveMe has been recognized by multiple influential media and organizations. When asked what it meant to win this award, Yuki said, "we take this award very seriously and especially thank Samsung for the recognition. With Galaxy Store being one of the largest platforms in the world, being recognized by Samsung also gives us great motivation to continue creating even better products for our users".
LiveMe just celebrated its 6th birthday in April 2022, and from day one, providing the best products to users has been the pursuit of LiveMe. Yuki mentioned the recognition always motivates LiveMe to continue doing what we do best: give our users and the entertainment community the best service.
Diversify More and Include More
DEI represents diversity, equity and inclusion, and has become more widely discussed in the workplace and society. LiveMe has expanded its reach into many countries and serves millions of users, with offices located in the US, Brazil, Egypt, Singapore, China, etc. LiveMe faces challenges related to DEI.
"LiveMe supports multiple languages and is available in many countries, so focusing on content localization based on local culture, trends, and holidays is essential. We are committed to meeting the needs of our diverse users and respecting different cultures and religions. Our goal is to create a supportive community that includes all races, religions, and cultures to connect users in the various regions. As for our management team, it is 40% to 50% women; some of them have been with me for more than five years, building a good relationship with each other. We also have offices in eight countries with different nationalities and cultures, all working together." Yuki replied.
And this female founder mentioned one of her previous speeches at the UN, "At the Women's Entrepreneurship Day (WED) Summit, I encouraged women and girls to become active participants in the economy by becoming leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs. It gave me an opportunity to share my story with young women from all over the world and highlight how LiveMe is empowering women to share their talents and follow their passions".
Bring Income to the Community
Broadcasters can earn money by presenting engaging content in their livestream channel. Yuki explained more, "some broadcasters see this as a hobby, but some make it their professional career. We are not talking about famous celebrities who have their own channels but rather the Uber driver, bar singer or amateur dancer. They can use LiveMe as an entertainment channel and make money doing it as a living. We help 300,000 broadcasters earn money in the U.S. Globally, we have a million broadcasters that are making good money via LiveMe. It's a very powerful story. Not only do they receive gifts from their fans, but they also get benefits from LiveMe. We also give the broadcasters gifts depending on the volume and activity of their fan base. It helps encourage broadcasters to generate new content."
Every month, LiveMe gives several millions of U.S. dollars to the broadcasters. LiveMe has an ongoing plan with a $60 million investment to support its broadcasters and creators.
Yuki added, "everyone is facing different obstacles in life under the influence of the pandemic, so I hope we can create products that give more companionship, happiness, and love to bring our global users together".

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — When Rich Strike bolted into horse racing's spotlight in a little over two minutes with his Kentucky Derby upset victory, he shared the stage with his handler, who has long toiled in the shadows constantly tending to the champion colt.
Rich Strike's attention stems for winning as a nearly 81-1 long shot, but groom Jerry Dixon Jr.’s new-found recognition comes from being one of few Black horsemen left in the sport once dominated by people who look like him.
“I totally understand it because I was looking at something about the Derby and I saw how there were Blacks in the beginning,” said Dixon, 31 and a fourth-generation horseman who works with his father — trainer Jerry Sr. — for Eric Reed, who trains Rich Strike.
“And then years afterward, you can see the change, like we were slowly fading away.”
A lack of diversity is one of the biggest obstacles to growth in horse racing, along with inconsistent safety and medication standards. The government stepped in to address safety and doping concerns, but there is no national program to increase diversity — by gender or race — in the industry.
That wasn’t always the case for African-Americans, who were a key part of early Derby history and thoroughbred racing.
Black jockeys won 15 of the first 28 Derbys with Isaac Murphy winning the marquee race three times from 1884-91 before Willie Simms and Jimmy Winkfield each won twice between 1986 to 1902. Black people also owned and trained thoroughbreds through the early 20th century before segregation and Jim Crow laws in the South pushed many away from horse racing by restricting jockey licensing and ownership.
That history is fairly well known, but what's new is how the few members of the Black community still engaged in the sport seems to be shrinking.
A handful of Black horsemen can be seen around the backside barns of tracks working as trainers, grooms and hot walkers, but their numbers are scarce compared to the overwhelming presence of Latino workers.
With no governing body in horse racing, exact numbers are not available. However, no one disputes the shift in demographics.
“What the racism did in America, Caucasian people didn’t want to see Black people have stuff like that,” said historian and horseman John Taylor Jr.
“And as time went by and Blacks stopped taking an interest in the sport and stopped working on the backside, that’s when you started seeing the (Latinos) coming in. The jobs that they’re doing now, we used to do.”
Economics and the time demands of tending to horses are factors often cited in the low number of Black and white people working in the barns. But while Saturday’s Belmont Stakes — the last leg of the Triple Crown — pays a prize purse of $1.5 million, everyday races are much less lucrative with smaller payouts that must be divided multiple ways among owners, trainers and workers.
It does not make for a lavish lifestyle.
Many backside workers at Churchill Downs live in dormitories near the barns or above them. Compared to other industries that pay higher wages and offer set hours with health benefits, horse racing is a daily job that requires getting up well before sunrise to train and care for horses. Then, coming back in the afternoon to do it again. Days off are hard to come by.
Horsemen interviewed for this story declined to discuss wage rates, pay scales and benefits — which can vary. They are quick to point out that horse racing is not for everybody.
Horsemen such as the Dixons and trainer Mark Simms Jr. say they do it for love of the animals and the sport. Not to mention, it’s in their blood.
“My grandpa would have told you that I learned how to walk walking over towards the barn,” said Simms, whose great-grandfather, grandfather and uncle are among several relatives in racing.
“You can go to Target and can probably make 15 bucks an hour or something like that. And you work for five days a week," Simms said. “This really is something that you have to have a passion for to do, to get up and do it every day.”
The stables are an entry point into horse racing, but Greg Harbut is working to increase the involvement of Black people in all phases of the sport, including thoroughbred ownership and management.
The third-generation horseman and partner Ray Daniels comprise leadership of the Ed Brown Society and Living The Dream Stables, a thoroughbred syndicate comprised of minority ownership. The two partnered on colt Necker Island, who finished ninth in the 2020 Kentucky Derby.
EBS recently partnered with Churchill Downs for an internship program to follow up a previous pairing with the Stronach Group that owns Baltimore’s Pimlico Race Course and Santa Anita Park in California. The Society has two college interns currently working at Santa Anita and looks to introduce current and future generations to horse racing.
“When you look at a lot of minorities, they’ve got two to three generations removed where they couldn’t even go to someone to get the history, the horsemanship or have a mentor to come up with,” said Harbut, whose great-grandfather, Will Harbut, was a groom to legendary thoroughbred Man o’War.
“And that’s really what’s missing," Harbut said. “The horsemanship has not been passed down from generation to generation as it once was."
But the involvement of the Dixons, Harbut and Simms demonstrate it's still there. And they hope their dedication to the sport in different capacities helps raise awareness in the Black community.
Rich Strike's stunning Derby win has certainly provided a payoff for Jerry Dixon Jr. on many levels.
“I know it’s big for our culture because we need a different way, a different view of things to try something that most people don’t like to step out of the comfort zone for," said Dixon, who aims to be a trainer like his dad.
"Horse racing saved my life. I don’t know where I would be without horse racing and to top if off, to be involved with a Derby winner is a dream come true.”

Edison grad Xander Burch threw two innings of work and surrendered two runs in the loss but did register one strikeout.
In the New York Collegiate Baseball League (NYCBL), the Mansfield Destroyers surged past Genesee on the road 8-4.

ST. BONAVENTURE — After losing 10 scholarship players and a staggering 99.5 percent of its scoring from last season — tied for most in the country — the St. Bonaventure men’s basketball team has, quite literally, had to build from scratch.
Of course, with that will come more questions than ever before in the 15-year Mark Schmidt era.
Every starting spot will presumably be up for grabs, as will those 3-4 key rotational spots off the bench. Indeed, it will be a preseason defined by those queries: Who plays and who doesn’t? Which of these myriad transfers pan out, and which don’t? Does Bona now have the depth that has eluded it the last few seasons?
Is this roster good enough to keep Bona at, or near, the top tier of the Atlantic 10?
And while the answers to each remain to be seen, its probably fair to say this much: Schmidt and his assistants have done an admirable job of constructing almost an entirely new, and both capable and intriguing, roster over the last six weeks. The latest addition to underscore that sentiment came Tuesday.
ANQUAN Hill, a 6-foot-9 Fairleigh Dickinson transfer and the reigning Northeast Conference Rookie of the Year, has committed to Bona, the fan account SBUnfurled reported and Hill confirmed on social media Tuesday. The ninth member of the Bonnies’ 2022 recruiting class, and the seventh Division I transfer, he’ll have three years of eligibility beginning next season.
Hill appeared in 26 games, initially coming off the bench before making 17 starts, for a Fairleigh Dickinson team that went 4-22 last season. He averaged eight points, five rebounds and nearly one block in 24 minutes per contest while shooting 45 percent from the field en route to NEC top rookie honors.
Hill had previously starred at Archbishop Carroll in Philadelphia. As a senior in 2020-21, he averaged 17 points, nine rebounds and over two blocks while helping the Patriots to the PIAA Class AAAA quarterfinals, where they lost to eventual champion Allentown Central Catholic. He elevated his game toward the end of that season, averaging 29 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks in consecutive wins over Archbishop Ryan, Conwell-Egan and Martin Luther King in the District 12 Class AAAA championship game.
Hill held offers from Bryant, Mount St. Marys, Bowling Green, Drexel and Saint Jospeh’s before committing to Fairleight Dickinson in March of 2021.
FOR BONA, the 6-9, 195-pound forward/center represents another element to the compelling smorgasbord that has become the 2022-23 roster. Schmidt has now added two 2022 league Rookies of the Year in Hill and former Holy Cross guard Kyrell Luc (Patriot League). He’s also brought in an America East Third Team selection (guard Moses Flowers), an NCAA Tournament star (former Saint Peter’s guard Daryl Banks III), a four-star prep prospect (Yann Farell), a 6-foot-11 shooter from Detroit Mercy (Noah Waterman) and a former Pittsburgh big man in Max Amadasun, among others.
Hill also makes for another offseason addition to the frontcourt, which should create plenty of competition for the starting power forward and center positions in the fall.
With the Philly native on board, eight of Bona’s 12 players for next season stand 6-foot-7 or taller, including one each at 6-8 (Anouar Mellouk) and 6-9 (Hill), two at 6-10 (Amadasun and Morgan State transfer Chad Venning) and one at 6-11 (Waterman). According to SBUnfurled, that gives Bona an average height of 78.5 inches (6-foot-6 and a half inch) — the tallest overall roster in 16 seasons under Schmidt (the previous tallest came in both 2020 and 2014 at 77.8 inches).
The average Division I height last year was 77 inches.
Hill figures to mostly vye for time at the No. 5 spot with Amadasun and Venning, with Waterman and Mellouk at the 4 and Farell, Putnam product Barry Evans and rising sophomore Justin Ndjock-Tadjore competing at small forward, with perhaps a bit of power forward mixed in. The guards will be Luc, Flowers, Banks III and redshirt freshman Brett Rumpel.
That gives Bona 12 total scholarship players for next season, with one available should Schmidt decide to use it over the summer months. | https://www.oleantimesherald.com/sports/bona-lands-fairleigh-dickinson-transfer-hill/article_474d0ad5-a14e-5885-a7ea-65ef2f3ce0e8.html | 2022-06-09T05:59:30Z | https://www.oleantimesherald.com/sports/bona-lands-fairleigh-dickinson-transfer-hill/article_474d0ad5-a14e-5885-a7ea-65ef2f3ce0e8.html | false | 1 |

Evolving conditions will guide future policy actions: RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das
The governor said that the RBI has changed the policy stance to drop the phrase 'remains accommodative' and instead opted for 'withdrawal of accommodation' for guiding its future moves.

MUMBAI: After hiking the repo rate by 0.50 per cent, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das on Wednesday said future policy actions by the central bank will be guided by the evolving conditions.
Addressing a press conference, the governor said that the RBI has changed the policy stance to drop the phrase "remains accommodative", and instead opted for "withdrawal of accommodation" for guiding its future moves.
The central bank did not hike the cash reserve ratio contrary to speculation, he said, adding that the liquidity withdrawal will be calibrated and measured. He assured that adequate liquidity will be available for banks to lend for economic growth.
The Indian economy continues to be resilient and is well placed to deal with challenges emerging from the global worries and will be supported by a banking system having strong capital buffers, low non-performing assets and higher provisioning coverage, Das said.
At a time when the RBI upped its inflation expectation to 6.7 per cent, the governor said he is confident that the actions being taken by the central bank will help reduce inflation and also inflationary expectations among the people.
He assured that the RBI does not want to take any abrupt or rough action that will be detrimental to inflation and the markets. Das also said that the credit offtake has improved, and the number is over 12 per cent now.
To a question on what happens when the central bank misses its target of containing inflation with the headline number overshooting for three consecutive quarters, he said the central bank will deal with it as and when the situation arises.
When asked if the government should initiate more measures on the supply side, he said the government is "mindful" of the realities and will take appropriate measures. The governor said the RBI is in constant dialogue with the government on many issues, including cryptocurrencies, and will be awaiting the discussion paper to be floated by the Centre soon. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2022/jun/08/evolving-conditions-will-guide-future-policy-actions-rbi-governor-shaktikanta-das-2463232.html | 2022-06-09T06:07:41Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2022/jun/08/evolving-conditions-will-guide-future-policy-actions-rbi-governor-shaktikanta-das-2463232.html | false | 5 |
Chennai: On the road to responsible sex-education
Work in the realm of sexual and reproductive health and rights has only gotten more difficult over the years. NGOs in the field debate ways out of this quagmire.
Published: 08th June 2022 03:44 AM | Last Updated: 08th June 2022 03:44 AM | A+A A-
CHENNAI: On a regular Tuesday morning, the conference halls at Asha Nivas were abuzz with activity. Amid workshops and lectures, members of the Centre for Women’s Development and Research (CWDR) gathered to map a future for their work in the region of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). After two pandemic years and several government-orchestrated restrictions later, the network was slowly limping back to normalcy, with uncertainty writ large in their agenda. They had to start from scratch, it looked like. And it all came back to the state of sex education in schools today.
Children at The School KFI are introduced to safety education — good touch-bad touch, physical safety — in class 2. A formal sex education programme starts in class 5 and is carried through till the child leaves school. Besides exploring menstruation, contraception, consequences of sexual involvement and prevention of sexual abuse, the programme also engages students in the matters of attraction, gender stereotypes, masturbation, ‘dirty words’, sex and marriage. Boys and girls are encouraged to join in and learn in a mutually enriching environment. While such a programme has clearly had a great impact on the students, this is far from the norm in schools in the city.
Many private schools have a two-day sex-ed programme for students of classes 9-10 and end it right there. Often, this is either restricted to the girl students or held separately for girls and boys. While these students do have far greater avenues of access and information (which are not always accurate and healthy) otherwise, it is the government schools that miss out on such an effort all together. As per the mandate, government schools are required to only put up pictures and information on safety education all around the school campus; what some schools do beyond this is of their own volition, informs a government primary school headmistress.
A voluntary vocation
Quite a few schools take the initiative to engage NGOs working in SRHR. CWDR has been holding extensive sexuality education programmes for years. So has organisations like Bloom Trust, Asha Nivas, Pasumai Trust, Thozhamai and Mottukal. But, it has not been without enormous challenges. “When I first started sex-ed classes in a government school, the next day I had parents lining up to ask me if I was teaching their children to have sex,” recounts KR Renuka, executive director of CWDR.
A few teachers who did their part were also subject to insult and censure. It was by informing parents that children are being taught about the consequences of ‘fooling around’ that they were able to win them over. Slowly, parents started sending their kids to these programmes in the hopes of keeping them out of trouble. But the more these organisations engaged with students, the more they realised the disturbing dearth of information and awareness.
“Children don’t even wear underwear to school. If they get their first period while in school, it’s the teachers who fetch these things and help them. Because the parents are often daily wage labourers who leave home early in the morning and have little time to instruct the children on these subjects,” Vanitha, programme coordinator at CWDR, notes.
Basics and beyond
Programmes like this cover everything from how to keep their private parts clean, how to wash underwear, how to use different menstruation products, the side effects of menstruation, need for a healthy diet, to busting superstitions around menstruation and puberty, teaching them to dispel the shame forced upon the process, and the need to get comfortable with one’s own body. That menstruation and the female anatomy, in general, is considered taboo is one of the reasons children are unable to register that they are being sexually abused; there are numerous accounts of teenagers getting pregnant even when they barely comprehend what sex entails.
Renuka recalls a child who was being sexually abused by her father from when she was two years old. “When she was older, she tried talking about it to her friends. They told her that fathers are like that. None of them knew better,” she points out.
While this is the extreme manifestation of such ignorance, the lack of open and honest conversation around sexuality and reproduction has many people living through life without any understanding of their body (believing the vagina and urethra have a common opening), or developing a certain level of disgust for everything below the belt. “Children tell us that they don’t go to the toilet when they have their period because they they find their blood disgusting to touch or clean.
Because of the idea of impurity we associate with it,” says Vanitha. She has had women, after having had children, confess that they don’t know what the ‘wings’ in the sanitary napkins are for. For this reason, Vanitha begins all her classes with a model of the female reproductive system and makes sure that every child gets comfortable looking at and touching them. It’s only by the third session that she managed to get through to everyone, she says.
Of policy and provisions
While generations of parents have passed on the torch of ignorance to their children, teachers are no different. Renuka recalls being asked “Enna neenga vaai koosama itha pathi pesite poreenga?” by one of the teachers after her sex-ed class. The norm, until then, had been to let the students read the portions on menstruation themselves. In 2017, a child in Pudukkottai died of suicide, reportedly, after her teacher shamed her for staining her clothes (and the bench) with period blood in front of her fellow students. “Teachers consider this a matter of intimacy that should not be talked about. It’s the teachers who we need to train first, make them comfortable with the subject, to begin with,” she says.
While NGOs have been working towards accessible and comprehensive sex-ed for students and adults as well, they are but a drop in the sea given their scale of operations and the enormous gap they are trying to fill. Even that has been made more difficult by the recent Central government orders that have introduced many a restriction upon NGOs. CWDR and the organisations in its small network gathered together last week to discuss the way forward amid such constraints.
“Our network was working well for three years. Then, because of the Centre’s amendments, none of us is in a position to network with each other. The very fact that one NGO cannot transfer money to another NGO for network purposes affects all our work. Many of us have still not been able to renew our FCRA licence (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act). It should have come by March, now they are saying it will come in June but we don’t know if it will. Till we get the renewal, we can’t use the money we’ve already received so far. If we don’t get the renewal, having the money in our accounts will also become illegal. So, how do we keep up our work against all these challenges,” asks Renuka.
While the organisations are still working their way through the constraints, the only way to effectively bridge the gap is to make the process streamlined through the government and make sex education not only mandatory but robust in all schools. Government infrastructure should go beyond providing a sex education syllabus and material and fulfil the practical needs of women and girls, points out Renuka. “It must start with clean toilets in government schools; many children don’t use the toilet while in school because of how dirty it is.
Used sanitary napkins are simply tossed aside in one corner of the campus; over time, there is a smelly mountain of napkins rotting away near the toilets, discouraging students from using the place further. A government initiative brought incinerators into many schools and in several public spaces but students and teachers barely know how to use them. Children tend to stuff it with the used napkins, rendering them unusable,” she details. The upkeep of public toilets is another vital component, she notes. It is no secret that public toilets are often too dirty and too dilapidated to use. They have little to no light facility, making them far more unsafe.
Yet, for many people living in slums and colonies, this is the only option. Pointing out how much policymakers don’t take into account the needs of women, Renuka recalled how women’s access to public toilets was cut off during the lockdown. It was after many requests that the public restrooms were opened up again. Another vital requirement is the availability of clean water in these establishments. Like the many toilets constructed under the Swachh Bharath scheme, many public toilets are left without a functional water connection; this barely gets addressed in time.
Period poverty is yet another matter of policy interest that the government has accorded little attention. Though government schools are supposed to have napkins available for its students, it is made possible only through the benevolence of a few teachers who spend their money on a need-only basis. It’s important to make biodegradable and reusable napkins (perhaps menstrual cups too) available for free in schools and through Public Distribution System shops. “It is only in the recent planning commission that for the first time the government consulted several organisations like us for public policy relating to women and SRHR. This has us hopeful about future efforts,” says Renuka. There’s much to be done, anyway. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/chennai/2022/jun/08/chennai-on-the-roadto-responsiblesex-education-2462952.html | 2022-06-09T06:12:51Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/chennai/2022/jun/08/chennai-on-the-roadto-responsiblesex-education-2462952.html | true | 2 |
Trade ministers head to WTO for talks
Australia is seeking to breathe new life into global agriculture market reform as well as set new international rules to limit subsidies which undermine fish stocks.
Trade Minister Don Farrell and assistant minister Tim Ayres will travel to Geneva to lead Australia's delegation to the 12th World Trade Organisation (WTO) ministerial conference from June 12 to 15.
Senator Ayres is also leading Australia's delegation to the annual OECD ministerial council meeting in Paris on June 9 and 10.
Senator Farrell said key issues would be dealing with the impacts of COVID-19 and Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine in terms of access to vaccines and other medical products, as well as the promotion of digital trade and food security.
"We will also seek to tackle important longer-term challenges, including by agreeing new rules to limit subsidies that undermine fish stocks, and reinvigorating discussions to reform global agriculture markets," Senator Farrell said.
Senator Ayres will follow up recent launch of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework with counterparts from other IPEF members to discuss next steps. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-10899339/Trade-ministers-head-WTO-talks.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-06-09T06:13:44Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-10899339/Trade-ministers-head-WTO-talks.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 2 |
Hyderabad gangrape case: Total six apprehended
Amid allegations of involvement of children of influential persons, Commissioner said the gangrape happened in a Multi Purpose Vehicle. It "seems to be" an official vehicle, he said.

HYDERABAD: The city police on Tuesday said six persons have been apprehended in connection with the gangrape of a teenage girl here last month.
"Six accused have been arrested in this case. Out of six, one is a major," Hyderabad Police Commissioner C V Anand told reporters Tuesday night.
The rest are juveniles, including one just one month short of 18 years of age, he said. Five of the arrested persons were involved in the rape of the teenage girl on May 28.
One juvenile was allegedly seen in videos misbehaving with the girl, but was not involved in rape. Anand said stringent sections of law have been invoked against those involved in the heinous crime.
The punishment under the sections could be imprisonment for life till death or even death penalty, he said. The case would be tried in a special court.
Amid allegations of involvement of children of influential persons, he said the gangrape happened in a Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV). It "seems to be" an official vehicle, he said. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderabad/2022/jun/08/hyderabad-gangrape-case-total-six-apprehended-2462964.html | 2022-06-09T06:17:18Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderabad/2022/jun/08/hyderabad-gangrape-case-total-six-apprehended-2462964.html | true | 4 |
Since the selectors have yet to choose a successor for KL Rahul, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan are the only designated openers in the Indian team against South Africa in the upcoming T20I series. Venkatesh Iyer has never opened for India and is regarded as a finisher at this level.
Rishabh Pant, India's captain for the T20I series against South Africa, gave a significant clue to the openers for the first T20I, which begins on June 9 in New Delhi. In the series opener on Thursday, Pant intimated that Ruturaj Gaikwad will likely replace the injured KL Rahul at the top of the order and join Ishan Kishan.
Selection Committee has not named any replacement, both KL Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav will go to NCA for further medical attention.
— Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns) June 8, 2022
Pant learned that he will lead India for the first time on Wednesday evening when it was revealed that KL Rahul, the series' designated stand-in captain, would be ruled out due to a right groyne injury.
"I think there would not be many changes in the batting order as KL would have opened. There will be one change for sure, we do not have many openers... You guys can guess. We will discuss the team after some time," Pant remarked ahead of the first T20I in New Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium.
However, since the BCCI haven’t officially announced any replacements, Pant’s hands are tired. Nonetheless, fans are not happy with this decision and continue tp bat for Sanju Samson to get the spot:
Sanju Samson will be a best Replacement for KL Rahul.#KLRahul
— The Critical (@thenileshkolage) June 8, 2022
With KL Rahul ruled out, the Indian selectors have a good chance here to name either of Sanju Samson or Rahul Tripathi as his replacement. Can even name both as Kuldeep is also ruled out. India have spinners like Chahal, Axar and Bishnoi in the squad already.#INDvSA

Gaikwad and Kishan are the only designated openers in the Indian team because the selectors have yet to name a successor for Rahul. Venkatesh Iyer is known as a finisher at this level and has never opened for India.
Ruturaj Gaikwad had a poor IPL season with the Chennai Super Kings, but the Maharashtra right-hander has been pounding on the door for a while.
How did Rishabh Pant respond to becoming the Indian captain in KL Rahul’s absence?
"It’s a very good feeling although it didn’t come in good circumstances. The news just came in for me as well an hour back so I’m also processing it. I haven’t even digested the information yet. It is a great feeling getting this opportunity, especially in my hometown,” the Delhi cricketer said.
Pant has led the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League for the past two seasons. Pant experimented with his batting position in the last finished season of the league.
Hello Everyone. This is your captain speaking, The captain ‘Rishabh Pant’. #CricketTwitter #IndianCricketTeam #INDvSA pic.twitter.com/UNAzSGj5HP
— sher singh / Captain Pant's Era (@SherCricFan) June 8, 2022
"My batting order will depend on the weather," he replied when asked if he'll keep shifting his lineup. We can't have a floating batting line in these conditions because we play spinners every day.
As a captain, the 24-year-old feels that this chance will be quite beneficial. When a player repeats the same actions over time, he tends to improve and learn from them, and Pant believes that this will help him advance.
The Men in Blue will be hosting the touring South African side for a five-match T20I series with the first match taking place in Delhi on Thursday. Team India has won 12 straight T20 Internationals since losing to New Zealand in the T20 World Cup, equaling Afghanistan's record for most consecutive T20I wins by a Test-playing nation. If they win the first T20I of the five-match series against South Africa, they will have a chance to make history. | https://www.mensxp.com/sports/cricket/109391-rishabh-pant-hints-kl-rahul-replacement-as-opener-vs-south-africa.html | 2022-06-09T06:23:33Z | https://www.mensxp.com/sports/cricket/109391-rishabh-pant-hints-kl-rahul-replacement-as-opener-vs-south-africa.html | false | 1 |
Citroen C3 to go on sale on July 20, here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming crossover
Citroen will be launching the C3 on the 20th of July this year. Because the car will be made in India, with 90 per cent localised parts, the French automaker has a great opportunity to price the car very competitively when they finally enter the highly competitive Indian mass market.
The French automobile manufacturer Citroen entered the Indian car market with the C5 Aircross, an SUV that was aimed at a niche crowd. Because of the way the Aircross was priced, Citroen was limited to the luxury car market. Now, it seems that it is all set to enter India’s mass market, one of the most competitive car markets in the world.
Citroen will be launching its C3 in India on the 20th of July. The C3 was launched globally in September 2021. Citroen will be making the new India bound C3 entirely in India at the CK Birla Group’s Tamil Nadu facility, which will allow them to launch the car at a very competitive price.
Despite its tall boy design and boxy dimensions, Citroen has refused to label the car an SUV and is actually going with the correct nomenclature of a crossover.
The India bound C3 is not that radically different from its international counterpart, at least in design. Potential customers will still get a funky and charming design with the bulky front end, chunky fenders, and, if they opt for it, an orange contrast-coloured roof.
The C3 will be launched in India with two trim variants, Live & Feel. Potential customers also get to choose between two engines. The one that we know of is a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine, that produces about 110bhp, and 190Nm of torque.
There are chances of Citroen to bring in another engine, that will be slightly underpowered. It will be a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine that is capable of producing 82bhp of maximum power and 115 Nm of peak torque.
As for the transmission, we are likely to see a 5 or 6-speed manual as well as a 7-speed DCT unit. The DCT unit will most likely be reserved for the turbocharged engine.
In India, it will be going up against the likes of Maruti Suzuki Ignis, Tata Punch, Renault Kiger and the Nissan Magnite. In some ways, it will also be taking on the Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon and the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza.
Industry experts are speculating that the base variant, with the lower level trim, will start at around Rs 6-8 Lakhs, and will go up from that depending on the trim and the engine and transmission option one goes for.
Because Citroen will be using up to 90 per cent localised parts for the C3, the auto manufacturer will be in a great position to price the car in a very competitive manner.

Wales could ban energy drinks for under-16s to curb obesity
Banning the sale of energy drinks to under-16s and limiting hot food takeaways near schools are among the ideas being floated by the Welsh Government to reduce rising obesity in Wales.
The country currently has around 1.5 million overweight adults with 600,000 of those people deemed obese – just under half of the entire population.
One in four of children are also overweight or obese by the time they start primary school.
The cost of the obesity is estimated to be costing the NHS £6.1 billion per year across the UK.
The latest National Diet and Nutrition Survey has shown that young people aged between 11 and 18-years-old are consuming up to three times the recommended maximum amount of sugar.
Some energy drinks have 21 teaspoons of sugar and the same caffeine as three cups of coffee, with research showing that children who drink at least one energy drink per week are more likely to report symptoms such as headaches, sleep problems and stomach problems as well as low mood and irritability.
There is also evidence to link regular energy drink consumption with low educational engagement and concerns have been raised that these high-caffeinated drinks are impacting students’ learning.
Deputy minister for mental health Lynne Neagle said: “We want to hear people’s views on how we can support the nation to be healthier and to reduce the number of people who are obese or overweight.
“Often, foods that are sugary or high in fat or salt are more readily available and promoted, making it harder for people to make the healthy choice.
“We know this is a difficult time for people with the growing cost of living crisis putting huge pressure on people financially. However we also know If current obesity trends continue, more people in Wales will die prematurely from cancer, heart disease, liver disease and type 2 diabetes.
“We need an open and frank conversation about how we can create a step change in our choices and behaviours. We are talking about reversing significant issues which have built up over generations in our food environment.”
The UK Government announced plans to ban sales of energy drinks to children in 2019 but have still not placed it into legislation.
Meanwhile, several supermarkets, including Tesco and Adsa, joined a voluntary ban on sales however, reports have since claimed retailers are not enforcing the self-imposed ban.
A consultation launched on Thursday which will continue until September 1 will ask people to give their thoughts on banning the sale of energy drinks to young people under 16.
It will also hear people’s views on restricting the promotion of foods high in fat, sugar or salt, ending free refills on sugary drinks and expanding the publication of calories on menus.
And whether planning for new hot food takeaways should take into account how close they are to schools and colleges, ensuring factors such as existing saturation, local obesity rates and social demographics are considered. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10899331/Wales-ban-energy-drinks-16s-curb-obesity.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-06-09T06:24:29Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10899331/Wales-ban-energy-drinks-16s-curb-obesity.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 9 |

MARK ANTHONY LANHAM, 63, of Saint Albans, WV, crossed the River to rest in the arms of Jesus on Friday, June 3, 2022, at Ruby Memorial Hospital after a brave battle with a short illness following complications from surgery.
Waiting on the shores of Heaven to welcome him Home were his mother, Betty Lanham; father, Eugene Lanham; sister, Beverly McGhee; brother, Greg Lanham; stepmother, Irene Lanham; father and mother-in-law, Rev. Eldon and Ella Fitzwater; best friends, George McCune and Mousie Smithson; and countless other family, friends, and lives he had touched along the way.
Left behind to cherish the memories and long for their Heavenly reunion are his wife of almost 37 years, Jackie Fitzwater Lanham; son, Matthew (Alexandra) Lanham; brother, Steve (Becky) Lanham; his niece who was like his sister, Lisa McGhee; stepbrother, Gary (Sandy) Hess; and numerous family and friends including his brothers and sisters-in-law and his nieces and nephews that he loved like his own children.
He was a small business owner in the Kanawha Valley for over 40 years having owned and operated Adept Cleaning Agency as well as several other business ventures over the years. Most recently, he could be found at the Somewhere in Time Antique Mall in Nitro, WV, where he sold antiques with his wife Jackie for the last several years.
Most importantly, he loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and served Him faithfully for over 40 years as a deacon, Sunday school teacher, and soul winner. He was a member of Faith Baptist Church of Jefferson, WV. Those who knew him remember him as one of the kindest and most generous people you could ever hope to encounter. He would do anything to share the Love of God to help those in need, whether it was a meal, a tank of gas, a place to stay, or just a kind word and a prayer. This world will truly not be as bright without his smiling face, contagious laugh, quick wit, and loving heart in it.
A celebration of life will be held at 1 p.m. Friday, June 10, 2022, at Curry Funeral Home in Alum Creek, WV, with his son, USAF Chaplain, Captain Matthew Lanham, officiating. Cemetery service will follow immediately after at
Graceland Memorial Park chapel, South Charleston, WV. Family and friends may gather from 6 - 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 9, 2022 for visitation at the funeral home.
Special thanks to the incredible medical teams and staff at Ruby Memorial Hospital and Thomas Memorial Hospital who provided him the best care possible, ensuring he was comfortable and cared for until his battle was fought.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Mark's memory to the Rosenbaum Family House at Ruby Memorial Hospital, Morgantown, WV.
Condolences may be expressed to the family by visiting www.curryfuneralhome.org.
Curry Funeral Home, 2097 Childress Road, Alum Creek, WV has been caring for families since 1950. | https://www.wvgazettemail.com/obituaries/mark-anthony-lanham/article_a37166e4-4dd3-5fe5-8d40-96336bae001b.html | 2022-06-09T06:30:33Z | https://www.wvgazettemail.com/obituaries/mark-anthony-lanham/article_a37166e4-4dd3-5fe5-8d40-96336bae001b.html | false | 1 |

Protester, 30, is arrested after pro-choice group marches into Michigan House chamber and interrupts session to demand the state strike down abortion ban which would come into effect if Roe vs Wade is repealed
- Police briefly detained one protester while clearing out the legislature
- The protest lasted for about two hours in total but the focus has come on the 10 minutes in which they broke into a legislative session
- Activists cited that Michigan has a 91-year-old law on the books that bans abortion in the state that would come into effect if Roe vs. Wade is repealed
- The law bans women from having an abortion unless it is 'necessary to preserve the life of such woman'
Several dozen pro-abortion protesters marched into the Michigan State House chambers Wednesday to demand action in the wake of the draft opinion from the Supreme Court that could overturn Roe vs. Wade.
The event was organized by the Michigan Coalition for Reproductive Liberation. Police briefly detained one protester while clearing out the legislature, according to the Lansing State Journal.
The protest lasted for about two hours in total but the focus has come on the 10 minutes in which they broke into a legislative session with pro-abortion chants.
Activists cited that Michigan has a 91-year-old law on the books that bans abortion in the state that would come into effect should Roe vs. Wade be repealed.
The law bans women from having an abortion unless it is 'necessary to preserve the life of such woman.'
Demonstrator Cameron Lee, of Detroit, is taken into custody by Jon Priebe, Chief of Police for the Michigan House of Representatives Sergeant-at-Arms Police Agency
Several dozen pro-abortion protesters barged into the Michigan State House chambers Wednesday to demand action in the wake of the draft opinion from the Supreme Court that could overturn Roe vs. Wade
The event was organized by the Michigan Coalition for Reproductive Liberation
Rep. Cynthia Johnson, middle, and Rep. Sarah Anthony, right, reacted with cheers for the protesters
While Michigan has a Democratic governor in Gretchen Whitmer, the state's two legislative chambers have slim but solid Republican majorities. Both houses are up for re-election in November.
Cameron Lee, 30, was taken away in handcuffs by multiple police officers.
Lee was released within an hour, having been given a citation for trespassing. He was the only person brought into custody or ticketed.
He says that he was attempting to leave after police had started dispersing protesters when an officer grabbed him and he grabbed back.
Pro choice activists said that lawmakers have not listened to their protests in the wake of the draft opinion leak.
'If they're not gonna listen to us in the streets, we take it to them,' 24-year-old Zora Monico said.

The group demands that the state pass legislation codifying Roe v. Wade into state law.
Democratic Rep. Cynthia Johnson and Rep. Sarah Anthony reacted with cheers for the protesters
The leaked SCOTUS draft was obtained by Politico in May. Written by Justice Samuel Alito, one of the six justices appointed by a Republican president who sit on the court, it repudiated both Roe v Wade and the 1992 Planned Parenthood vs Casey Decision.
If and when the draft is made final, the decision removes the federal right to abortion in America, leaving it up to elected officials in each state to decide whether or not women should have access to abortions.
Twenty-six states are likely to ban it if Roe v. Wade is formally overturned, essentially outlawing abortion in more than half of the country. Eighteen states already have restrictive abortion laws in place.
The news sent shock waves throughout Washington D.C. with Democrats vowing to codify the legal right to an abortion into law and Republicans demanding an investigation into the leak, claiming it was done to try and influence the high court ahead of its formal ruling.
Republican appointed-Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett all voted to strike down Roe with Samuel Alito, Politico noted

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — The childhood friend accused of fatally shooting the Dominican Republic’s Minister of Environment and Natural Resources this week allegedly did so because he was denied environmental permits he was seeking on behalf of various companies, according to judicial documents obtained Wednesday.
One of the permits that slain former minister Orlando Jorge had denied had been submitted by his longtime friend and now suspect, Fausto Miguel de Jesús Cruz de la Mota, who served as intermediary between the companies and the ministry. That particular permit involved a request to export 5,000 tons (4,500 metric tons) of used batteries, according to the documents obtained by The Associated Press.
Those permits and others were found inside a briefcase the suspect was carrying when the minister, who is the son of a former president, was shot six times at his office on Monday, the documents state.
Authorities wrote that the suspect was bothered by that particular permit: “It had been denied, but they had resubmitted it.”
They also described Cruz as a “cold and calculating murderer” and are seeking one year of preventive prison as the investigation continues.
It was not immediately clear if Cruz had an attorney.
Shortly after Monday’s killing, police arrested Cruz at a church dozens of blocks away after telling a priest he committed a crime and handed over a gun to him.
Authorities also state in the documents that Cruz allegedly took advantage of his ties with Jorge to seek environmental permits given his support during the 2020 campaign for the minister’s Modern Revolutionary Party. Jorge, who was a founding member of that party, was appointed minister in August 2020.
“I campaigned, and they’re not helping me,” exclaimed Cruz when he arrived at the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources before the shooting on the morning of June 6, according to the documents.
“The evidence shows that the accused had been trying to obtain multiple permits but complained angrily that no one was helping him solve anything,” the Dominican Republic’s Department of Justice said in a statement.
It also accused Cruz of threatening the legal adviser of the ministry less than a month ago.
Authorities stated that after the shooting, they seized Cruz’s car and found a 9 mm Uzi with two 30-round magazines each and $2,000 in cash, among other things.
Cruz is the son of Maj. General Fausto Miguel Cruz, who served as commander of the Dominican Republic’s Air Force from 1988 to 1990, a spokeswoman told the AP.
He is also a shareholder of a construction company and an armory.
Meanwhile, Jorge, the slain minister, comes from a well-known political family. He is the son of former Dominican President Salvador Jorge Blanco and his sister is a vice minister in Abinader’s administration. Jorge’s son is a lawmaker for the Modern Revolutionary Party.
Jorge’s family held a two-day wake for him that drew multiple mourners, including David Ortiz, former Red Sox slugger and a Hall of Famer. He was quoted by newspaper Listín Diario as saying: “This is horrible. … Let’s stop all this violence.” | https://www.abc4.com/news/documents-dominican-minister-slain-over-denied-permits/ | 2022-06-09T06:35:05Z | https://www.abc4.com/news/documents-dominican-minister-slain-over-denied-permits/ | true | 35 |

Elon Musk put the Twitter acquisition on hold after the latter declined to share the user’s data with him. We thought it would become a stalemate because Twitter wasn’t interested in sharing the data on bot accounts and spam.
But Twitter agreed to conform to Musk’s requests for complete information on bot accounts. The Washington Post reported that Twitter will share its full ‘firehose’, a database that contains details of everything posted on the platform.
For your reference, over 500 million tweets find a home on the platform every day.
Why did Twitter agree to Elon Musk’s demands?
The agreement between both parties clearly states that Musk is entitled to the information. It includes information “for any reasonable business purpose related to the consummation of the transaction”. Twitter earlier published a report and disclosed that the number of bit accounts was well below 5%. It is an acceptable range for any social media platform.
But Elon Musk wasn’t content with the report and asked for direct access to the Twitter data. Parag Agrawal explained in a Twitter thread citing the reasons why he couldn’t share the data.
But that didn’t have any effect on Musk and the recent developments showcase that the deal wouldn’t move forward unless demands are met.
Find your dream job
“Mr. Musk believes Twitter is transparently refusing to comply with its obligations under the merger agreement, which is causing further suspicion that the company is withholding the requested data due to concern for what Mr. Musk’s own analysis of that data will uncover,” Musk’s legal team said in a letter (Source: ArsTechnica).
Twitter’s spam estimations failed to convince Musk but this new decision will set the deal back on track. This year hasn’t been generous to Twitter as the social media platform faces many hurdles.
With declining ad revenue due to Apple’s ATT measures, employees exposing the left-oriented thought process of company policies, a decrease in hiring, and tanking share prices, the $44 billion deal needs to go through. Twitter also mentioned that it shared the internal database only with two dozen companies that pay a lot of money to get access to the data treasure trove. | https://fossbytes.com/twitter-will-give-musk-access-to-firehose-database/ | 2022-06-09T06:40:43Z | https://fossbytes.com/twitter-will-give-musk-access-to-firehose-database/ | true | 1 |

WARANGAL: The students of two private medical colleges in the State whose admissions have been cancelled by the National Medical Commission (NMC), are in a state of limbo, not knowing what the future lay in store for them. The two colleges are TRR Institute of Medical Science, Patancheru and Mahavir Institute of Medical Sciences, Vikarabad. Neither the Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) nor the State government has so far addressed their problem.
On May 31, a day after the news of the cancellation of seats was posted on NMC’s site, the students of one college visited the KNRUHS and staged a protest but the Vice-Chancellor (VC) Dr B Karunakar Reddy could not respond properly to their demands, stating that the university had not yet received orders from the NMC.
But on May 17, the NMC had communicated to the KNRUHS that the Medical Assessment and Rating Board of the NMC has cancelled the 520 admissions to undergraduate and postgraduate medical courses in two colleges in the State. The NMC informed the university that the students whose admissions have been cancelled may be reallocated to other medical colleges by the State government.
The catch is that for reallotment of the students, the colleges which can take them should have necessary infrastructure commensurate with the new strength of the students. Another rider is that the number of students after taking the new admissions, should not cross 250 in any college. The post-graduate students may be permitted to work for three months in district hospitals against the seats available for the district resident programme, the NMC said.
Dr B Karunakar Reddy, however, said that he was waiting for an order from the State government on which colleges the students who lost admissions have to be admitted to. Meanwhile, the anxiety of the affected students continues as they are losing valuable time with no hope in sight for an early resolution of the muddle. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/telangana/2022/jun/08/absence-of-official-action-puts-two-medicalstudents-of-telangana-in-trouble-2463095.html | 2022-06-09T06:44:29Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/telangana/2022/jun/08/absence-of-official-action-puts-two-medicalstudents-of-telangana-in-trouble-2463095.html | true | 2 |
Rome: The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is working with Uber Technologies Inc, a global mobility and delivery platform, to transport emergency assistance to people in need in urban areas across Ukraine through the use of a custom-built version of Uber’s platform.
With larger vehicles facing issues reaching those in need in built-up areas, collaboration with Uber allows WFP to better coordinate, dispatch and track a fleet of smaller vehicles delivering relief items from warehouses to people in need in densely populated areas of Ukraine.
Through this platform, WFP can get its food closer to those people needing its support, dispatching deliveries in various sizes of vehicle, tracking each trip to its destination, and confirming deliveries have been made safely.
Through this collaboration, WFP has already delivered food from its warehouse in Dnipro to other parts of the city, ready for distribution. Further deliveries are also ongoing in other parts of the country, including Lviv, Vinnytsia, Kyiv and Chernivtsi. The progress of deliveries can be tracked in real-time through the platform.
"WFP is playing a critical role in providing food and cash assistance to those most affected by the war in Ukraine. This technology helps WFP facilitate its response and improves how we serve communities in Ukraine that rely on us," said Matthew Hollingworth, WFP’s Emergency Coordinator in Ukraine, in a press release on Wednesday.
"It enhances our access to Ukrainian businesses within Uber’s network, making our operations more efficient while also harnessing local capacities," he added.
This work is in addition to a US$250,000 donation made by Uber to World Food Program USA to support the emergency response in Ukraine.
WFP has rapidly scaled up its operations in and around Ukraine over the past three months. By the end of June, WFP will be providing food and cash to more than 3 million people per month in the country.
"Uber is thrilled to be working with WFP to help them more efficiently distribute emergency food relief across Ukraine, by providing free access to a customised version of the Uber platform," said Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber.
"Using our technology, WFP can now schedule, dispatch, track, and manage deliveries by a network of cars and small vans to final distribution points within a 100km radius of WFP warehouses across the country," the Uber CEO added. | https://www.medcom.id/english/tech/JKR3m1pN-wfp-uber-cooperate-to-facilitate-aid-delivery-in-ukraine | 2022-06-09T06:58:23Z | https://www.medcom.id/english/tech/JKR3m1pN-wfp-uber-cooperate-to-facilitate-aid-delivery-in-ukraine | true | 2 |
21 Savage says Meek Mill was integral in getting Jay-Z to help freed him from ICE custody.
The Atlanta rapper in an interview published on Wednesday, shared that Jay-Z did not hitch after Meek Mill asked the Roc Nation CEO to intervene and help him.
In 2019, 21 Savage was arrested by the United States Immigration and Customs enforcement organization for overstaying his time as a British citizen. He was pending deportation before Jay-Z hired attorney Alex Spiro to assist with his case.
21 Savage was released on bond a week after his arrest and has not been deported to the United Kingdom, but his case is ongoing. Since then, Jay-Z, along with Spiro and Meek Mill, have been advocating and working hard to effect criminal justice reform and even trying to change the laws that criminalize rap music lyrics.
When asked about his ICE case, 21 Savage revealed that Jay-Z treated him as one of his own.
“It was one of them ‘he like us’ type of sh**. I don’t feel like he doing that for no anybody,” he began. “Yo, I ain’t rock nation or none of that sh** so he really did that sh*t off the strength.”
When asked about his reactions at the time, the rapper said he was concerned about being arrested.
“I wasn’t really nervous. I just wanted to get out. You know how that [goes]. I wasn’t nervous though cause I know I don’t do sh**. I [have] been here since I was 7 where the hell yall want me to go? I lost my virginity here, I probably got my first cut on my knee here…I wasn’t nervous I just was like why I gotta sit in this mother******,” he added.
Meanwhile, 21 Savage, whose real name is She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, says he believed that he was targeted as a rapper.
“Hell, yea for sure, I feel like any rapper a target, like if you rap about certain shit you automatically a target,” the Georgia rapper said. | https://bahamasspectator.com/21-savage-credits-meek-mill-for-getting-jay-z-to-help-with-his-ice-case/ | 2022-06-09T07:01:15Z | https://bahamasspectator.com/21-savage-credits-meek-mill-for-getting-jay-z-to-help-with-his-ice-case/ | false | 11 |
In France, antipathy for all things German lasted a generation or more. Only in 1984 — four decades after Nazi Germany's capitulation — were French and German leaders Francois Mitterrand and Helmut Kohl able to stand hand-in-hand in reconciliation at a WWI monument in France filled with bones of the dead.
In Ukraine, the young generation born after the country's declaration of independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 likewise say they cannot imagine feeling anything but disgust for Russia for the duration of their lifetimes.
Otoy's lyrics, with choice expletives directed at Russia and stark descriptions of Russian war dead, speak from the heart — he lost his older brother, a soldier, in the siege of the Azovstal steel mill in the devastated port city of Mariupol.
But they also give voice to the cold fury shared by many of his peers, now pouring out in song, in art and tattoos, online in hashtags proclaiming, “death to the enemies,” and memes targeting Putin, and in fundraising activism for the war effort.
In “Enemy,” one of four new tracks that Otoy penned between and during stints on the battlefield driving ammunition and weaponry to front-line troops, he snarls of Russian soldiers: “We’re not scared but we are nauseous, because you smell stale even when your heart still beats. Bullets await you, you sinners.”
He imagines a taunting conversation with the widow of a dead Russian soldier, singing: “Well, Natasha, where is your husband? He’s a layer in a swamp, face-down. Natasha, he won’t come home."
Others are riffing off the war, too.
In the furious heavy metal track “We will kill you all," the band Surface Tension screams: “We will dance on your bones. Your mom won't come for you." The expletive-laced track has accumulated more than 59,000 views since its April 5 release on Youtube.
Iryna Osypenko, 25, was among concertgoers at a fundraising music festival last weekend in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, where Otoy gave a fiery performance. She broke down in tears as she explained how the growing reservations she'd had about Russia before the invasion have scaled up into rage.
“I hate them and, I'm sorry, it will never change," she said. “I will explain it to my children and I hope that my children will explain to their children."
Otoy says that if he has kids, he'll do likewise, telling them, "the Russians were killing my family, killing my brothers, my sisters, bombing our theaters, hospitals."
“It's not just that I don’t like Russia, I hate this country, and I hate Russian people as much as I can,” he said in an interview in his Kyiv apartment, where he records and stores his guns and combat gear.
”If I had the ability to save the life of a dog or the ability to save the life of a Russian soldier, I would pick the dog."
His older brother, Dmitry Lisen, is missing, believed dead in the bombed-out ruins of Mariupol's Azovstal steelworks. He was a fighter with the Azov Regiment, among the units that clung doggedly to the surrounded plant for nearly three months, becoming an enduring symbol of Ukrainian resistance.
Otoy dedicated his song, "Find My Country," to Azovstal's defenders — rapping in English with the aim, he says, of reaching "people all around the world."
“This is my lands, you boys should leave," he sings, holding a rifle and dressed in combat gear in the track's video on YouTube. “Miss those Fridays we used to have, kisses, twilights, refuse to sleep. Now we soldiers.”
His duties of late have included helping at a military hospital with the triage of bodies from Azovstal, turned over by Russian forces in an exchange. His brother's remains are still missing.
He's also working on his collection of songs largely penned during repeated ammunition runs to troops in the east, where fighting has raged since Russian forces were pushed back in their initial assault on Kyiv.
Themes include life on the front and the camaraderie of soldiers, war-time life for civilians, enmity and fighting for Ukrainian freedom. He says the mini-album reeks of "the smell of war dust.”
"I was actually lying on the ground under the airstrikes and bomb shelling,” he said. “You can actually the feel the smell of, you know, like bombs, dead bodies, and dust, blood and other stuff.”
“This is the best way to show your hate, I think.”

The next June Primary elections vote update for Nevada County is expected to be out Friday afternoon, according to Clerk-Recorder Greg Diaz. And, as of Wednesday morning, he said they’d been deluged with over 16-thousand mail-in ballots on election day. So that meant they couldn’t be counted election night. Around 20-thousand were counted that night. There were only around five-thousand uncounted ballots for the Presidential election in November of 2020…

And although voter participation dropped below 50-percent, Diaz says it’s still the eighth-best rate of any county. He also points out that nine of the top ten counties participate in the Voters Choice Act, the all mail-in ballot system. Nevada County was one of the pilot counties in 2018. Meanwhile, Diaz also notes the voting climate appeared to be more normal, compared to the aftermath of the last Presidential election, when former President Trump sparked concerns about fraud and the fixing of results…

Meanwhile, Diaz predicts that at least half of the uncounted ballots will be tallied by Friday. He also says it’s rare that the outcomes of races change after election night. The vote canvass must be completed no later than 30 days after an election. | https://knco.com/lots-of-uncounted-june-primary-ballots/ | 2022-06-09T07:09:15Z | https://knco.com/lots-of-uncounted-june-primary-ballots/ | false | 1 |
Two Longtime House Democrats Locked in Heated Clash After Redistricting Efforts Backfire
Two of New York’s longest-serving members of Congress have turned from allies to rivals after a court redrew the state’s congressional maps, scrambling the favorable landscape Democrats hoped to set for themselves this election year.
Rep. Jerry Nadler, a major figure in former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment, and Rep. Carolyn Maloney, a champion of 9/11 rescue and recovery workers, are now running against each other in a Democratic primary to represent a reconfigured district in Manhattan.
The intra-party battle is not the result Democrats envisioned for the once-a-decade redistricting in a state where they control the governor’s mansion and the Legislature.
Nadler, 74, and Maloney, 76, were first elected to Congress 30 years ago and have risen to chair the powerful House Judiciary and Oversight committees, respectively.
Nadler has long represented the Upper West Side and areas stretching down to Wall Street and parts of Brooklyn, while Maloney’s longtime turf was on the other side of Central Park: the Upper East Side, along with parts of Brooklyn and Queens.
But when a state court unveiled the new maps on May 16, merging the Upper East Side and Upper West Side into one congressional district — the 12th — the veteran lawmakers huddled on the House floor. Each tried to persuade the other to run somewhere else.
“I said that I thought that if we ran against each other in the 12th, I’d probably win, so she should run in the 10th. Why didn’t she run in the 10th? She would clear the field and no one else would run, in all likelihood,” Nadler recounted.
“She said, ‘No, no, no.’ She thought she’d win, and why didn’t I run in the 10th? And I said no, I didn’t want to do that. And it was an impasse and we left it at that. … We’ve known each other for a long, long time and since that, we really haven’t talked,” Nadler said.
Maloney, whose campaign did not respond to multiple interview requests from The Associated Press, recounted their conversation similarly in an interview with the New York Post.
“My whole life people have told me I shouldn’t be where I am so I am not surprised he told me to step aside,” she said. “The time for women stepping aside is over.”
Democrat Suraj Patel, a 38-year-old who has unsuccessfully challenged Maloney in the past, is also running and declared in a statement: “There are no incumbents in this race, just two career politicians — but no one is entitled to any congressional seat.”
For Democrats, New York was supposed to be one of the party’s few opportunities to draw new district lines in their favor and possibly limit losses in November’s elections.
But then the wheels came off.
After a successful legal challenge from Republicans produced new court-drawn congressional maps, Democrats were left with tougher battles against Republicans and among themselves.
Now that Nadler and Maloney are facing each other in the 12th District, along with Patel, there’s an open seat just to the south that wraps in parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
That’s drawn a crowded field of at least 10 Democrats, including former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and U.S. Rep. Mondaire Jones, who decided to leapfrog from his Hudson Valley district after the new maps put him on a collision path with another Democrat, U.S. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney.
The lines of Sean Patrick Maloney’s district, the 18th, were also changed under the court’s rewrite, cutting his home in Cold Spring into the reconfigured 17th District. He quickly declared he would run in the 17th, a move that angered some other New York Democrats who saw it as unfair to Jones, who represents that district now.
It even drew him a primary challenge from progressive state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi, who announced she would take him on in the 17th, even though she does not live there.
Biaggi won the backing on Tuesday of progressive star U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who had been among those critical of Sean Patrick Maloney.
Maloney defended his decision, noting that no other incumbent Democrat lived in the 17th District — because Jones’ home was swept into the new 16th District, much of which is held by another Democrat, U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman.
“From my point of view, I’m just running where I landed,” Maloney said at a news conference last month.
Jones told the AP he considered running in the 17th, “but at the end of the day, it was important to me, as someone in the leader of the fight to defend our democracy against the threats of the far-right, not to be in a primary with either of my two colleagues in the Hudson Valley, and to focus on making my case in a district I feel a deep connection to.”
His case is that a gay man should represent the new 10th District, which includes the West Village and the Stonewall Inn, an underground gay bar where a police raid in 1969 sparked a backlash that drove the LGBT movement.
“It was through my visits to the West Village that I summoned the courage to come out as an openly gay man,” Jones said. “It’s wild that the place where Stonewell happened, a movement for LGBTQ liberation, birthed by queer people of color, has never had a gay representative in congress.”
The new maps didn’t just upend political careers and collegial relationships for New York Democrats. They also upset national plans for the party to expand its chances of keeping power in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Before they were struck down by a state court, congressional district maps initially drawn by the state Legislature would have given Democrats a strong majority in 22 of 26 congressional districts.
“Democrats decided to roll the dice and it didn’t come up their way,” said Brennan Center for Justice redistricting expert Michael Li, who called the Legislature’s maps “one of the more aggressive gerrymanders” among the states this year.
Democrats currently hold 19 of New York’s 27 districts, but the state is losing one as a result of the 2020 census.
The new maps, drawn by a court-appointed expert, give Democrats an edge in 21 of 26 districts, but some of those will be much more competitive and could be won by Republicans.
Ultimately, they are fairer, Li said.
“If they’re unhappy with the maps,” he said of Democrats, “one of the places that they need look if they need to cast blame is with themselves.”

Could it be more than a day or two before all the best dinner parties in the loftier postcodes feature iceberg lettuce on a silver platter where once was displayed a bowl of beluga caviar?
In-house chefs will surely be instructed, urgently, on the return of the prawn cocktail as the society entrée du jour, the prawns nestled oh so gently on a bed of crisp and giddily extortionate iceberg.
Kids will be reduced to sighing with envy as young Master Ritchie Rich withdraws from his lunchbox a sandwich of egg and – oh, my – lettuce!
Imagine the swagger required by a hipster to order a vegetarian burger with the lot … and extra lettuce.
Former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce’s threatened $100 Sunday roast – the result, he predicted in the dark days of 2012, of a carbon tax – may never be realised.
But the $10 iceberg lettuce has snuck up on us all.
Who will be the first to inform Nationals senator Matt Canavan, champion of coal, that the iceberg lettuce market is leaving mining stocks in its dust?
At the time of writing, just 24 lettuces were worth a tonne of the black stuff dug out of Australia. Truly.
Why, KFC, the cuisine of the nation’s tradies, has been forced to add cabbage to its burgers, causing an intervention on Thursday by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
“This is a crisis,” he declared on morning radio, chuckling.
“Cabbage isn’t the same as lettuce. That’s just wrong.
“I’ll put it on the list for the cabinet meeting today. Cabbage-gate.”
It clean blindsided the Reserve Bank, too.
As it dithered about taking action to slow the march of inflation, the bank seemed unaware that the formerly humble iceberg was lurking, waiting to put a nasty gash in the hull of what had been celebrated by the previous prime minister as the Titanic of economies.
Comparisons with the great Dutch tulip bulb market bubble of the 1600s cannot be far away. We barely dare think of the pain should there be an iceberg crash of such proportions as tulip mania.
The iceberg, however, doesn’t have the – shall we say – aesthetic attraction of a rare tulip.
This may yet prove to be salvation for the whole flipped-out dizziness.
The $10 iceberg seems unlikely to remain a brisk seller, whatever the best dinner party hosts might decide.
Slow-selling icebergs tend to grow less desirable by the day. The hearts of the poor little things grow soggy. The leaves wilt.
Allow us to predict that faced with such a prospect, hard-pressed shoppers are about to deliver a comeback to alternative varieties of salad ingredients. Wild weed, foraged from the nature strip, is beginning to sound appetising.

Arsenal are preparing for another important transfer window as Mikel Arteta continues to strengthen his ranks ahead of the 2022/23 season.
The Gunners narrowly missed out on Champions League football after finishing fifth in the Premier League last campaign. However, Arsenal are expected to have another major reshuffle to their squad as they try and make that next step and qualify for the top tier of European football.
A number of players have already been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium this summer, including Gabriel Jesus and Youri Tielemans. The Gunners could also call on a couple of players who have either struggled for game time or been out on loan in recent times - but are now ready for their opportunity to impress. William Saliba, Reiss Nelson, Lucas Toreirra Hector Bellerin all spent time out on loan last term, but only two feature in this list.
So, with that in mind, here is a look at four fringe players who could be key for Arteta's side next season.
William Saliba
The 20-year-old was named the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year after putting in a string of excellent performances as Marseille finished second in the French top tier behind runaway champions Paris Saint-Germain. Saliba made 52 appearances across all competitions and became a firm fans' favourite at Les Phoceens.
He was also rewarded with a place in the Ligue 1 Team of the Season for his efforts alongside the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Achraf Hakimi and Marquinhos. After a mixed loan spell at Nice during the 2020/21 season, Saliba needed a much-improved stint out with Marseille to impress Arteta, and he did just that.
Although Gabriel and Ben White have both impressed at the heart of the Gunners defence, Saliba could give the Spaniard another headache. Confident with the ball at his feet, Saliba broke the record for the most-ever passes in a season in the history of Ligue 1, completing a staggering 2834. There is no doubt he showed qualities to suggest why he could be a regular starter for Arsenal next term.
Reiss Nelson
Like Saliba, Nelson spent the entirety of last season out on loan to gain some first-team experience. The talented winger joined Feyenoord and enjoyed a successful campaign in the Eredivisie, scoring four goals and grabbing seven assists in 33 matches across all competitions.
The 22-year-old also provided a number of important moments as Feyenoord reached the final of the Europa Conference League, eventually losing out to Roma in Albania. Nelson will come back to Arsenal as a more senior figure and ready to fight for a regular senior spot.
Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka both impressed for the Gunners last term which could make it difficult for Nelson to break into the team immediately. But with European football and more matches to play next term, Arteta will need to rely on some of the fringe players and Nelson could prove to be key for the Gunners.
Eddie Nketiah
It was revealed last month that Nketiah is set to sign a new Arsenal contract until 2027 despite turning down a number of previous new contract offers. The 22-year-old started in each of Arsenal's final six matches after replacing the outgoing Alexandre Lacazette as the lone striker.
Nketiah impressed in when given his opportunity, scoring five times in the process including a brace in an emphatic win over Chelsea back in April. However, with the potential arrival of Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City, the Arsenal academy graduate could slip back down the pecking order.
He spent the first-half of the campaign as third fiddle to Lacazette and Pierre Emerick-Aubamayeng but is expected to force himself closer to a regular starting place next season. If Nketiah can replicate similar performances to the ones he produced at the back end of last term, he will no doubt be an important player for Arteta both domestically and in Europe.
Albert Sambi Lokonga
The last 'fringe' player who could be key for Arteta is Lokonga, who was in and out of the side during his maiden campaign in English football. The 22-year-old made 13 Premier League starts in total with Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey often preferred as the midfield pivot.
Lokonga was a reliable asset when called upon, though, with the midfielder looking confident in possession and tidy when it comes to the defensive work. The Belgian will likely get more opportunities with the Europa League coming up and Granit Xhaka coming to the latter stages of his career at the Gunners.

ICICI Bank hikes MCLR: How does it compare with other private banks?
4 min read . 11:19 AM IST- The MCLR (Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate) has been raised by leading private sector lender ICICI Bank.
The MCLR (Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate) has been raised by leading private sector lender ICICI Bank. According to the bank's statement on June 1, 2022, and based on the revision, the bank's overnight and one-month MCLR sits at 7.30 per cent, three-month MCLR stands at 7.35 per cent, six-month MCLR stands at 7.50 per cent, and one-year MCLR is at 7.55 per cent.

By commenting on the repo rate hike Mr. Umesh Revankar, Vice Chairman & MD, Shriram Transport Finance has said “The RBI, largely on expected lines, hiked the repo rate by 50 bps with the MPC focussing on ‘withdrawal of accommodation’ to ensure inflation remains around the medium-term inflation target, while supporting growth. As the inflationary expectations have been rising, the RBI hiked the FY23 inflation forecast to 6.7%, but retained the FY23 GDP forecast at 7.2%. The rise in inflation is largely attributable to global crude oil prices and the geo-political environment. The RBI has been taking measures to tame excess system liquidity while the Government is managing inflation by reducing tax on petroleum products and restricting exports of essential commodities. We believe the regulator may not hikes rates very aggressively hereon, and will continue to monitor the evolving growth-inflation dynamics. While surplus system liquidity has come down, the RBI has said they will ensure adequate system liquidity for productive purposes. As a result, we do expect borrowing cost to go up gradually. It was heartening to see that RBI expects a pick-up in investment activity and an improvement in both urban and rural demand conditions. There continue to be some challenges, but we do expect to see a pick- up in new vehicle sales as investment activity and government capex spend in the economy while used vehicle demand continue to be robust."

Lacazette returns to Lyon on a free transfer after Arsenal release striker
Alexandre Lacazette has completed a move back to Lyon, returning on a free transfer after leaving Arsenal.
The French striker's contract at the Gunners was set to expire on June 30 and he has been allowed to leave the club.
Lacazette said in April that he had been in talks with "a lot of clubs" and Lyon were seen as the front-runners to sign him for some time.

What contract has Lacazette signed at Lyon?
Lacazette has penned a three-year contract to return to the Ligue 1 side until 2025.
The France international came through Lyon's youth system to make 275 appearances for the senior team before he was signed by Arsenal in 2017.
Did Arsenal get value for money from £46.5m Lacazette?
By Charles Watts, GOAL Arsenal Correspondent
It’s difficult to really sum up Lacazette’s time at Arsenal.
There were plenty of good moments for the striker, and his form in the 2018-19 season deservedly saw him voted the club's Player of the Year.
Yet there will always be a sense that the Frenchman failed to really live up the hype.
His highest scoring tally in the Premier League was just 14 and that came in his first ever season in north London. For someone who cost what was then a club-record fee of £46.5m, that’s not really high enough.
What the past season has shown is that Lacazette is now some way past his best, with the 30-year-old scoring just four goals in the league, three of which were from the penalty spot.
It’s been clear for some time now that Arsenal need a major shake-up in the striker department and a changing of the guard up front has to take place this summer.
Lacazette has been a popular member of the squad and I’m sure Arsenal will now give him a nice send off as he makes his return to Lyon, but no-one will be shedding any tears that he has gone.
If the Gunners are going to get back competing alongside the very best, then they need a world-class striker to lead them. Lacazette, unfortunately, has shown he is far from that level nowadays.
Who will Arsenal sign to replace Lacazette?
Arsenal are due a shake-up in attack this summer. The Gunners saw Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leave for Barcelona in January, and now Lacazette heads for the exit.
Meanwhile, Eddie Nketiah's contract is due to expire at the end of June, but he is now close to penning a fresh deal at Emirates Stadium after his strong end to the season.
Regardless of Nketiah's future, Arsenal will look to invest in new forwards ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
GOAL reported recently they have held talks with the agent of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and discussed a potential deal with Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus.
Another possible addition to the Gunners' front line is Paulo Dybala, who is available on a free and admitted that he would be interested in making a move to the Premier League. | https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/lacazette-returns-lyon-free-transfer-arsenal/bltf033553cd6624ba2 | 2022-06-09T07:30:05Z | https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/lacazette-returns-lyon-free-transfer-arsenal/bltf033553cd6624ba2 | true | 10 |
Suspect in Kavanaugh Assassination Attempt Identified, Officially Charged
A California man who allegedly arrived in Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s neighborhood with a plan to assassinate the justice is facing a federal charge of attempted murder against a Supreme Court justice.
A Department of Justice news release identified the suspect as Nicholas John Roske. Previous reports named Kavanaugh as his target.
According to court documents, Roske arrived in a cab outside of the justice’s Maryland home just after 1 a.m. on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old man was armed with a Glock handgun with two magazines, a knife, a hammer, a crowbar, pepper spray and other equipment.
He was seen by two deputy U.S. Marshals on the scene and proceeded to walk down the street from Kavanaugh’s residence.
The plot was halted when Roske himself called 911, revealing his intentions to local law enforcement.
In interviews with law enforcement, Roske said he was upset about the recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, according to the criminal complaint. He said he believed his target would side with Supreme Court decisions protecting the Second Amendment.
According to the complaint, Roske sought to “give his life a purpose” through the act and intended to kill himself after the assassination.
The suspect was expected to appear in federal court on Wednesday. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.
Personal information on Roske is scarce.
A LinkedIn account belonging to a Nicholas Roske identifies him as an employee of a pest control company in Simi Valley, California.
Kavanaugh’s home has recently been targeted by pro-abortion protesters, some of whom leaked his address on the internet.
Attorney General Merrick Garland condemned Roske’s actions, insisting that he would use his powers to guarantee the safety of Supreme Court justices.
“This kind of behavior is obviously behavior that we will not tolerate,” he said, according to CNBC.
“Threats of violence and actual violence against the justices of course strike at the heart of our democracy, and we will do everything we can to prevent them and hold the people who do them accountable for that reason.”

The stream-wise success rate in the Mumbai division stood at 95.52%, 82.93% and 98.33% for science, arts and commerce respectively.
By February this year, the state government had clarified that all board exams will be held offline. “The last physical exam was my class 10 board exam, and then two years later, I was suddenly preparing for another physical exam. I was unsure at first but eventually our teachers helped us by conducting multiple tests. Solving previous years’ question papers also worked in my favour,” said Rishab Shah, student of HR College, who scored 96.67% in the commerce stream.
While students were still worried about the sudden transition to offline exams after completing over 90% of their curriculum online, college teachers too were a worried lot. “We ensured our students are prepared for exams no matter the format. Prelims were kept offline and while students were protesting against it, they are now seeing the benefit of appearing for a physical exam before the actual board exams,” said Anushree Lokur, principal of Ramnarain Ruia College, Matunga.
Other than home and college practice, many students felt the advantage of extra 30-minutes awarded to students for all papers this year was a big boost. “Our three-hour papers lasted for an extra 30-minutes, which helped me complete. Lack of writing practice was a big challenge, so I would spend a lot of time solving papers before the board exams,” said Nishi Thakkar, student of Mithibai College, who scored 94.33% in the Arts stream.

The Dolly Blues concluded their NPL Premier Division campaign on April 23, since when the manager has been busy off the field putting plans in place for the season ahead.
Signings have been made and contracts offered as the club looks to build upon last season’s 11th-placed finish in 2022/23.
After spending the last few weeks focusing on signings, retentions and departures, the manager is ready to switch his attention to on-field matters.
Fell admitted: “I’m really keen to get back now.
“It was tough last year, it took me 10 days to get over it, but I’m keen to get back going again.
“I hate this time of year, having to talk with my players and deciding who to keep: they are hard discussions to have because they’re trying to get the best for themselves as well.
“Negotiations aren’t nice, they aren’t something I enjoy doing, but we’re well on the way now.
“It’s just a case now of getting the best option available to us – and then seeing whether trialists come in and impress because there’s always one or two that can surprise you.”
Pre-season fixtures get underway next month with a number of matches having been arranged in the build-up to the new season.
A Blackburn Rovers XI and Preston North End’s U23s visit Giant Axe on July 8 and August 2 respectively.
There is also a trip to NPL West club Widnes booked in for July 30: a match which aids City’s preparations in more ways than one.
Fell explained: “We’ve got a decent mix of games planned for pre-season.
“There’s a good balance with the games against Blackburn and Preston but we’ve also got Widnes who play on a 3G pitch.
“We know that when we play three or four sides in our division next season, those games are going to be on 3G and 4G.
“We wanted to get a bit of an indication as to what that was like.” | https://www.lep.co.uk/sport/football/lancaster-city-boss-cannot-wait-to-play-matches-again-3724863 | 2022-06-09T07:33:22Z | https://www.lep.co.uk/sport/football/lancaster-city-boss-cannot-wait-to-play-matches-again-3724863 | false | 2 |

A father and son from Wirlinga who committed assaults in the same pub just minutes apart have each escaped conviction.
Albury Local Court has heard that one of the assaults resulted from the son taking umbrage at a man who he suspected was a drug dealer.
Advertisement
The incident played-out soon after Jayden Styles, 22, and Kade Michael Styles, 45, arrived at the Kinross Woolshed Hotel on the evening of December 10.
IN OTHER NEWS:
At one point, magistrate Sally McLaughlin heard, Kade Styles walked up to the same man his son earlier assaulted, pushed aside a plastic chair and grabbed at him.
"The accused," police said, "was set upon by a group of people before falling to the ground."
The men pleaded guilty to assault, after prosecutor Sergeant Andrew Pike withdrew charges against each of them of affray.
On sentencing Jayden Styles, Ms McLaughlin said she was taking into account the fact that "any assault is a serious matter".
"It was with such force that (the victim) fell on to the ground," she said.
Nevertheless, she said, he "appeared to be very forthcoming" with police when they arrived at the pub 15 minutes after the incident took place.
"It does appear to be out-of-character for you," she said.
Ms McLaughlin, who placed each man on a 12-month conditional release order, said being charged would be "a salient reminder to not drink to excess and not act in such a way".
She noted that Kade Styles' involvement in the offending came later.
"I'm not sure what caused you to go over and re-engage things; clearly you should not have," Ms McLaughlin said.
The court was told the pair entered the hotel together.
Police said Jayden Styles began talking to a man in the main bar about 9pm.

After the conversation continued for some time, he suddenly pushed the man to his chest, causing him to fall to the floor.
The victim stood up and pushed back, then they wrestled for about 30 seconds before staff intervened and separated them.

Sometimes there’s nothing better than flying home to Sydney after a long trip and seeing it all lit up beautifully by sunrise.
As Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz said oh so wisely, “There’s no place like home.” This statement rings so true, especially when Australians experience flying home just as the sun rises.
Aussie journalist Melissa Hoyer reminded me of this fact when she shared on LinkedIn a stunning video of her flight from Los Angeles to Sydney landing during sunrise.
Melissa captioned the video with, “No matter where in the world, there is something about flying into Sydney as the sun rises – that image of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House & the surrounding bays & beaches actually bring happy tears to your eyes…”
While there are scientific reasons that explain why people cry on planes, I completely agree that coming home at sunrise and seeing Sydney in all its glory would definitely make any proud Aussie tear up.
Although, there’s something rather magical about flying out of Sydney at sunset too. I was lucky enough to go to Cairns a few weeks ago and my plane took off right at sundown, and boy, the view was spectacular.
If anything, the beautiful views of Sydney lit up with the last rays of sunshine for the day – that my pictures do not do justice – made me more excited about my trip.
So to my fellow Australians, if you’re lucky enough to be flying away on a holiday anytime soon, try and book a flight that either takes off from Sydney at sunset or lands in Sydney at sunrise.
Because it’s truly a sight that has to be seen.

Remodelling or creating a beautiful setting on a terrace is an important part of home design since it’s an area that is used by the family for relaxing or getting together with friends. The remodelling process should include planning the space so that it adds more interest to the area, besides suiting the needs of the family and meeting the budget.
When you’re remodelling the terrace in an apartment building, you need to ensure that the plan doesn’t drastically modify the façade of the building. In a condominium, it’s best to leave the walls as they are, in order to prevent problems and complaints, since most condos have regulations regarding the exteriors of houses.
Today, we take you on a tour of a remodelled terrace to show you what a great result they achieved with just a few changes.
It was already covered and partially furnished, but it still lacked something.
You can see that the terrace flooring had a combination of wooden deck tiles in one half and smooth cement in the rest of the area. A high white wall stood in the background of the portable barbeque, while a lower wall along the edge of the terrace kept it open. The large area was divided into two sections by the furniture, as you can see in the picture, with the dining table and the chairs standing on the wooden floor.
First, electrical installation is completed in the wall of the terrace to add lamps as a part of the remodelling. A special coating is applied before continuing the rest of the work, as we will see in the next photos.
It’s a wise choice to coat the background wall with stone. This cladding is a lovely element that brings a cosier ambiance to the terrace, making it a perfect place to get together. The lower portion is left uncoated to provide space for a planter.
In front of the elegant wall covered with rustic stone in natural colours, the concrete planter holds bamboo plants. The planter is painted white, to provide contrast to the wall and the plants. With this, the terrace already looks like it is completely renovated with a new look and lovely plants.
Unlike when you sow plants indoors, where have to move it out into the sun occasionally, in this terrace the plants get sun during the day, allowing for photosynthesis so that they are well fed. The planter is built to handle drainage and irrigation to prevent water and soil from spilling into the rest of the area.
The floorboards near the protective wall were temporarily removed to make space for the electrical installation in the wall. The red pipe travels along the edge of the floor and up the wall until the point where the light will be placed – almost at two thirds the total height of the wall.
The dining area in the new terrace uses the same wooden floor boards. A lamp is installed on the ceiling to complement the style of the terrace and the furniture. See the renovated wall in the background with the planter and plants. The terrace is transformed into a well-designed space with an atmosphere that is perfect for meeting up with friends or enjoying the company of the family.
Now, the terrace renovation is finished with new dining furniture and a completely changed atmosphere. It is designed so that it can be used during the day as well as at night with the addition of ceiling lamps as well as lights along the wall bordering the terrace.

Autistic boy, 15, and his mother are trapped in the Caribbean for THREE WEEKS after he had meltdown on plane and airlines refused to fly him him home: Family is rescued by Carnival Cruises who diverted their ship to pick them up and bring them home
- Jamie Greene and her boyfriend Carlos Pacheco left their home in Toms River, New Jersey, for a vacation with their three children on May 10
- The family of five were traveling to Aruba for a week, and on May 17 arrived at the airport to board their United Airlines flight back to Newark
- Greene's son Elijah Kapatos, 15, who she described as having 'low-functioning, non-verbal autism', had an episode on the plane, and United refused to fly them
- Pacheco and their two younger children, aged 12 and 7, flew home on May 24 but no airline would take the teenager
- Greene's friends and family fundraised for a medical evacuation flight, but that refused to take them: she made a desperate appeal on Facebook
- A charity, seeing her post, reached out and began making connections: Greene and her son eventually boarded a Carnival Cruise ship to Miami on June 5
- Greene and Elijah eventually returned home to New Jersey on Monday, having driven from the port in Miami with volunteers from autism charity Kulture City
An autistic teen and his mother were stranded in the Caribbean for three weeks after airlines refused to fly him home.
Jamie Greene set off from her home in Toms River, New Jersey - 50 miles east of Philadelphia - for a vacation in Aruba with her son Elijah Kapatos, 15, who has 'low-functioning, non-verbal autism,' as well as her two younger kids Brandon and Brice, aged seven and 12, and her boyfriend Carlos Pacheco.
The family of five had flown to Disney last year, without any event - and enjoyed their week-long vacation.
But when they arrived at Oranjestad Airport, Aruba, for their return flight to Newark, on United Airlines, on May 17, Elijah became startled.
Jamie Greene is seen with her son Elijah Kapatos (far right), boyfriend Carlos Pacheco (far left), and their two children Brandon and Brice, aged 12 and seven. The family were reunited on Monday after an eventful month
Elijah, 15, is pictured on the Carnival Cruises ship that took him from Aruba to Miami, after he and his mother were stranded in Aruba
The teenager stopped at the doorway and began to scream 'toilet,' explained Pacheco - which was his way of saying something was wrong.
'I gave him gentle nudge and we made it to our seats, then he lost control,' Pacheco told NJ.com.
'He refused to sit, and Jamie and I had to hold him down.
Greene, a mother of three, said it was scandalous that airlines were unable to accommodate those with invisible disabilities, like her son
'Something caused him to be overwhelmed, and he began to hit his mother and me and continued screaming.'
The captain of the flight said they needed to disembark, and so the five of them left the plane.
Elijah was given his emergency medicine, but it failed to calm him.
'You think you have all your ducks in a row, Elijah's flown before, we have sedation medicine on hand just in case and we made it to Aruba without incident,' Greene explained on Facebook.
'On the flight home, he became scared and violent and we were asked to leave the plane. What we didn't know was there is no policy in place for when this kind of situation arises.'
Greene and Pacheco then contacted an emergency medical evacuation company, but they were unable to help.
'Even the U.S. Consulate in Aruba ran out of ideas, and I had to get our two other children back to school at Toms River, so Brandon, Brice, and I flew back,' Pacheco said, saying they returned home on May 24.
Elijah is seen on the deck of Carnival's ship, taking him back to the U.S.
Elijah and his mother, Jamie Greene, spent almost a month away from home, having left for a week
Greene and the teenager remained on the island, posting desperate appeals for help on social media.
One of their messages was seen by Julian Maha, an ER physician and the Alabama-based founder of KultureCity, which helps those with nonverbal disabilities like PTSD, strokes and autism.
He got in touch with his contacts at Carnival Cruises, and the company agreed to redirect one of their ships to pick Greene and Elijah up.
'It takes a family,' he said on Facebook.
The pair left Aruba on June 5, bound for Miami.
On arrival in Florida, two KultureCity volunteers drove them home to New Jersey - where they arrived on Monday.
'It's hard to describe the last month - it's heartbreaking, sad and beautiful all wrapped up into one,' wrote Greene on Facebook.
'It's strength, and panic and support.'
Greene told NJ.com that the system needed to change, so no other family was abandoned like they were.
'Policies have to change. I understand that airlines must follow safety protocols, but something like this should have never happened,' Greene said.
'Airlines should treat invisible disabilities the same way they treat visible disabilities.
'Invisible disabilities include autism, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, anxiety, ADHD, strokes and other mental health challenges.'
She added: 'We never thought this could happen to us. We now plan to be involved with KultureCity and the autism community.
'I'm seeing the silver lining, just the chance that a policy might change as a result of our story is enough for me.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10899171/Autistic-boy-15-mother-trapped-Caribbean-THREE-WEEKS-meltdown-plane.html | 2022-06-09T08:03:41Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10899171/Autistic-boy-15-mother-trapped-Caribbean-THREE-WEEKS-meltdown-plane.html | false | 3 |
LUND, Sweden, June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Alfa Laval joined the International Energy Agency's annual global conference on energy efficiency on 7-9 June 2022. During the conference, which was hosted in Sønderborg, Denmark, Alfa Laval CEO and President Tom Erixon was one of the participants along with international politicians and other business leaders discussing how to increase global energy efficiency, which is one of the pillars of the Paris Agreement.
The IEA's annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency brings together decision-makers from government, industry, and broader society to explore how international ambitions on energy efficiency can be translated into faster and stronger real-world progress. The focus has been on implementation over the next 5-10 years, and how to achieve the gains that are needed on the global path to net zero.
Energy efficiency is a key part of the Paris Agreement and could deliver more than 40 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions savings over the next 20 years, with 50 percent of those savings coming from industry. Efficiency can either be achieved by implementing innovative technologies that reduce energy consumption compared with traditional solutions or by adding technology to existing processes that captures and reuses waste heat for other purposes. Alfa Laval has solutions for both energy savings and reuse.
"Energy efficiency is a key enabler for decarbonization with a remaining untapped potential, across sectors. We need to accelerate the implementation of these solutions to be on track for a Net Zero 2050. The industry needs to take the lead, setting ambitious targets, but also to foster collaboration and partnerships. During the conference we have had very constructive and promising discussions on how to take energy efficiency to the next level, from talk to action," says Tom Erixon, President and CEO of Alfa Laval.
Did you know… Every year, Alfa Laval heat exchangers installed in energy efficiency applications enable a reduced capacity need of 50GW! That is equivalent to the energy needed to heat up 10 million homes in Europe.
This is Alfa Laval
Alfa Laval is a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling, and is active in the areas of Energy, Marine, and Food & Water, offering its expertise, products, and service to a wide range of industries in some 100 countries.

Season eight of Love Island is well underway in Mallorca with millions tuning in to ITV and Virgin Media to get to know this year’s singletons.
After sieving through thousands of applications, producers have compiled a short list of contestants who are looking for love this season.
If you’ve ever wondered what that application process is like, or are simply looking for new ways to find love, get a tan, and potentially win 50k, here’s what you need to know.

The online application page starts by saying: "How do you fancy finding love in the sun? We're now on the lookout for lively singles from across the country to take part. ITV2 is looking for vibrant singles from across the UK who want to head to the sun, in search of love!
“The chosen cast will spend time in a luxury villa, getting to know one another, but to remain in paradise they must win the hearts of the public and their fellow Islanders who ultimately decide their fate on Love Island.
“If you think you’ve got what it takes, then we want to hear from you straight away."
Love Island bosses have some strict rules for any future hopefuls around their age, relationship status, and passport rules.
One of the most important is that you are over 18 before the closing date for entries.
The official website also says you must be single before the show begins, you have to have a valid passport with at least 6 months left of validity, and be available for 10 weeks to film.
The show’s casting producer for the show Lewis Evans also told Cosmopolitan it’s not just about what you put on paper: “We also cast our net far and wide by looking at social media profiles (Twitter and Instagram) as it’s always quite easy to gauge on there people who are popular, aren’t afraid to show themselves off and have a big following.
“We also attend events and hold street castings for prospective Islanders. The key is that they are over 18, single, and looking for love.”
Once you’ve chosen to advance on from the written application stages, you then are subjected to a series of interviews, where producers look for unique personality traits that will keep the public entertained.
“It’s all about having a great mix of desirable, aspirational singletons who have interesting and engaging personalities to keep our viewers glued and entertained by what’s going on in the villa,” Lewis says.
Applications for the next series will likely open before the end of the year, but be quick because there were over 85,000 applications sent in for the 2018 run.

Motoring experts have said some families will have to cut their mileage or stop driving altogether as the cost of petrol continues to soar across the region. Despite households already being squeezed financially in every direction due to the cost of living crisis, fuel prices are shooting up again.
The average cost of petrol in the UK is now 177p - and is expected to rise further. Diesel, meanwhile, has hit a record average of 185p, as prices climb towards £2-a-litre.
Drivers worried about how much they are spending on fuel are being encouraged to keep their eyes open for the cheapest prices. Luke Bodset, from the AA, said: "There is a lot of price variation in and around Birmingham. That is because supermarkets take longer to pass on cost increases than non-supermarket rivals.

"Even among supermarkets there are marked differences between areas, depending on which supermarkets are present in a locality. Drivers need to keep their eyes open to spot the cheaper forecourts, or use fuel price search engines such as the AA App or petrolprices.com."
According to petrolprices.com, these are the cheapest petrol stations for unleaded within a ten miles radium of Birmingham city centre. These prices were recorded between June 1 and June 8.
- Costco Heartlands Parkway, 166.9p
- Coleshill Fuel Express Automat, 169.7p
- Sainsbury's Selly Oak, 170.9p
- Sainsbury's Oldbury, 170.9p
- Sainsbury's Blackheath, 170.9p
- Sainsbury's Amblecote, 170.9p
- Applegreen Small Heath Highway, 171.8p
- Shell Tyburn Road, 171.9p
- BP Barnes Hill, 171.9p
- Esso Church Hill, 171.9p
- Esso Dudley Port, 171.9p
- Texaco Willenhall Road Bilston, 171.9p
Alex Kindred, from Confused.com, said: "It’s clear to see that rising costs are having an impact on drivers. Our research found that two in five UK drivers are making a conscious effort to drive less to save on fuel. However, it’s not always possible for all motorists to reduce their driving, so are having to look for ways to make their tanks last a bit longer.
"By shopping around regularly, you could save money in the long run and ensure you’re not paying over the odds."
Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove said the Chancellor was keeping "under review all the measures" to tackle the rising cost of energy bills and fuel. He told Sky News: "The situation is difficult for many people and of course it's all a consequence of the war in Ukraine, and we don't know how the shockwaves of that war will continue to affect the energy market and the price of petrol for people who are hard-pressed."
