Summer is the most difficult time to survive in the entire year. One of the main reasons why we find it unbearable is because the interiors of our house are often warmer and more humid than the outdoors. One of the best ways to deal with this situation is by trying to reduce the indoor temperature.
If you too want to know how you can reduce your home's temperature then here are 6 great tips that you must follow.
Good insulation is another thing that is essential when it comes to maintaining a low temperature indoors. After a long night when the entire house cools down, it is important that there is proper insulation to protect the house from the outside heat.
Another must consider while you are trying to reduce that indoor temperature of your house is switching the devices off during the day. Home appliances like television, refrigerator, and microwave are known for radiating heat which can be a massive reason why the temperature of your home is always high.
You should always remember to open the doors and windows of your home during the evening. This will allow fresher air and proper ventilation in the house making it cooler and less humid. You must also make sure that these doors are closed during the day.
Incorporating plants within your house can be one of the simplest ways of reducing the indoor temperature. These plant can be added to your galleries, living room, and even your bedroom so that you get as much oxygen and fresh air as possible.
While designing windows and doors, it is important that you use the reflective material so that the sunlight does not enter your house. Materials like tinted glass and fiber are best for diverting direct sunlight. | https://www.homify.in/ideabooks/3390428/6-ideas-to-make-your-home-cooler-this-summer | 2022-06-09T13:48:54Z | https://www.homify.in/ideabooks/3390428/6-ideas-to-make-your-home-cooler-this-summer | true | 1 |
Delhi Police files FIRs against Sharma, Jindal and Owaisi for inciting people on divisive lines
- Country:
- India
Delhi Police has registered two FIRs - one against former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma and the other against 31 people, including AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and controversial priest Yati Narsinghanand - for allegedly spreading hate and hurting religious sentiments, officials said on Thursday.
The two FIRs were registered on Wednesday after an analysis of social media, they said.
Former Delhi BJP media unit head Naveen Kumar Jindal, who was expelled from the party over alleged remarks against Prophet Mohammad, and journalist Saba Naqvi, are among the people named in the second FIR.
''The cases have been registered against those who were posting and sharing messages against the maintenance of public tranquility and were inciting people based on divisive lines,'' a senior police officer said.
The cases have been registered under sections 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot), 295 (injuring or defiling a place of worship with intent to insult the religion of any class), and 505 (statements conducing to public mischief) of the Indian Penal Code, he said.
Reacting to the FIR, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Owaisi said that he will not be intimidated by these tactics, asserting that criticizing hate speech and giving hate speeches cannot be equated.
Owaisi attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that if he were sincere, he would have stamped out hate speech without indulging in ''fake balance-and''.
The AIMIM chief alleged that Delhi Police is suffering from ''both sides'' or ''balance-and'' syndrome. "One side has openly insulted our Prophet while the other side has been named to assuage BJP supporters and make it look like there was the hate speech on both sides," he said.
According to police, one case has been registered against Sharma and another against multiple social media entities, including Owaisi, Jindal, Narsinghanand, Shadab Chauhan, Saba Naqvi, Maulana Mufti Nadeem, Abdur Rehman, and Gulzar Ansari, based on the analysis.
Notices will be sent to the social media intermediaries for the details, the police officer.
According to the FIR, 31 people named in it were also using hate-worthy languages intentionally or having complete knowledge that the use of such type of language, claim, and the assertion is not only discriminatory but more than sufficient to create a situation of animosity amongst different groups of persons having faith in different religions.
This will certainly be a serious threat to public tranquility and maintenance of public order in our country wherein people have been living peacefully, it stated.
Transmission and publication of such language have been done through electronic media which are filthy and appeal to prurient interest and sufficient to deprave and corrupt any person who sees it or hears the objectionable words, the FIR said.
''We have registered two FIRs under appropriate sections based on social media analysis against those trying to disrupt public tranquility and inciting people on divisive lines. One pertains to Ms. Nupur Sharma and the other against multiple social media entities," Delhi Police tweeted.
''Even as Notices are being sent to social media intermediaries for details of those behind these accounts/entities, #DelhiPolice appeals to everyone to desist from posting anything that may disrupt social and communal harmony,'' it added.
The FIRs have been registered by the Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operation (IFSO) unit of the Special Cell, police said.
On Wednesday, police said the unit would investigate the roles of various social media entities in promoting false and wrong information to create unrest in cyberspace, which has ramifications on the physical space thereby compromising the social fabric of the country.
Earlier, Delhi Police had provided security to Sharma and her family after an FIR was registered on a complaint that she was getting death threats over her controversial remarks on Prophet Mohammad.
She had requested the police to provide security citing harassment and threats she had been receiving.
The BJP on June 5 had suspended Sharma and expelled its Delhi unit media head Jindal as the row over their alleged derogatory remarks against Prophet Mohammad escalated with protests from many Muslim countries.
In a series of tweets, AIMIM chief Owaisi said that he will consult his lawyers and address it as and when required.
''I've received an excerpt of the FIR. This is the first FIR I've seen that's not specifying what the crime is. Imagine an FIR about a murder where cops don't mention the weapon or that the victim bled to death. I don't know which specific remarks of mine have attracted the FIR,'' Owaisi tweeted.
''It appears that Delhi Police lacks the courage to pursue cases against Yati, Nupur Sharma & Naveen Jindal, etc. This is why the delayed & weak response,'' he alleged.
The AIMIM chief alleged that in fact, controversial Yati has violated his bail conditions repeatedly by inciting genocide against Muslims and insulting Islam.
''Delhi Police were probably trying to think of a way of registering an FIR against these people without offending Hindutvadi fanboys/girls,'' he alleged.

June 9, 1897: One hundred and twenty-five years ago today, the Chattanooga Daily Times reported news with a Johnson City dateline and a date of June 8.
Readers learned, “The board of education met yesterday afternoon and elected a superintendent and teachers of the public schools for the ensuing year, as follows: S. C. Brown, of Knoxville, superintendent; W. C. Crouch and J. F. Templin, principals; Miss Mattie Johnston, teacher of high school; Leroy Reeves, Misses Nora Cunningham, Clara Cloyd, Kate Simpson, Helen Patterson and Ruth Pugh, of Shelbyville, and Emma Burleson, of Milligan, teachers. All except the superintendent and last two named teachers have taught in the schools here.”
The Chattanooga Daily Times is now published online as the Chattanooga Times Free Press. Johnson City did not have a daily newspaper in 1897; however, The Comet was published on a weekly basis.
June 9, 1922: Exactly a century ago today, the Johnson City Chronicle informed readers of a train wreck in Johnson City. “Two freight trains collided on the main line of the Southern Railway near the E. T. and W. N. C. railroad depot this morning between two and three o’clock, completely demolishing one box car loaded with coal tar; derailing and damaging another box car, and taking the pilot off one of the engines and otherwise damaging it.”
“From the meagre information obtainable just before going to press, it seems that there was a mix-up as to the place of meeting of the two trains. The east bound train was coming into Johnson City evidently intending to (indecipherable) one of the (indecipherable) tracks in the city, while the west bound train apparently intended to use the lower side-track near the Model Mill, or probably the ‘Y’ beyond the Soldiers Home. The west bound engine was backing, pulling the cars and was struck by the east bound through freight. The damaged cars were in the east-bound train immediately back of the engine, and it is thought that the telescoping of these cars was due to the impact of the heavy train behind them.”
“Local railroad officials and workmen came to the scene of the wreck within a few minutes and began clearing the track, stating that it would be cleared within a few hours. The track does not appear to be damaged. The line is not blocked, however, as the wreck occurred near a side track which ran (several indecipherable words) used by trains going in either direction.”
The Model Mill now houses the Johnson City Chamber of Commerce, as well as several businesses.
The Soldiers Home is now known as the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center.
June 9, 1947: Seventy-five years ago today, the Elizabethton Star reported several news items of interest regarding area residents. “Dr. E. L. Caudill, Sr., is in Atlantic City, N. J., where he is attending the 100th annual convention of the American Medical Association. He is expected to return home Saturday.”
“James A. Ray, seaman second class, USN, son of Mrs. Callie Ray, of 416 Field Road, has visited Glasgow, Scotland and Bergen, Norway, recently while serving aboard the USS Wilkes-Barre, his mother has been advised.”
“Two members of Dashiell Lodge of F & AM, Walter Jack and Millard Burleson, will leave tomorrow for Knoxville where they will take the Scottish Rite degrees of the East Tennessee Consistory from the fourth through the 32nd degree. The ceremonies will last three days. Nathaniel C. Burfield, Nat Birchfield and other 32 degree Masons will attend the reunion.”
“George Crowe, Jr., who was involved in a fight in a Carter County joint last week, is in Carter County jail awaiting his return to the state penitentiary at Petros, Tenn. Crowe had been released on parole before completing a sentence of two to ten years for manslaughter. Judge Vines revoked the payroll (parole) this morning and Crowe will be sent back to finish his sentence.”
“Five Daily Vacation Bible Schools opened today in Elizabethton. The First Baptist church, reported an enrollment of 199 children, the First Christian an enrollment of 113 children and 24 faculty members, making a grand total of 137, the Grace Baptist Church enrolled 54 children and the Immanuel Baptist 76 children. The First Methodist Church, which is also having its Bible School, made no report on the enrollment.”
The Elizabethton Star is still in publication. The Johnson City Press-Chronicle was not published on Mondays in 1947; June 9 of 1947 fell upon a Monday.
June 9, 1972: Fifty years ago today, the Johnson City Press-Chronicle, in an article with the byline of Mildred Dalton and a dateline from Abingdon, Virginia, reported, “’Last Of The Red Hot Lovers’ currently on the boards of Barter Theatre is a winner from the opening line to the final curtain call?”
“A sure-fire recipe for a hit production is a script by Neil Simon, a producer of the caliber of Rex Partington, a director with the touch of deft genius like Owen Phillips, and a superb cast. This play has them all.”
“’Last Of The Red Hot Lovers’ is a must for lovers of legitimate theatre, an experience not to be missed.”
“The play may be seen through June 18. Curtain times are 8:15 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, with a matinee at 2 p.m. Wednesday and special showings at 5 and 9 p.m. Saturdays and 7 p.m. Sundays, except this coming Saturday when Barter’s 40th Anniversary Special will be at 2 p.m.”
June 9, 1997: Twenty-five years ago today, strawberries were in the news. In an article with the byline of Michael Joslin, and a dateline of Bakersville, N.C., the Johnson City Press reported, “Wild strawberries — they are the Southern Appalachians’ first you-pick-um crop. While they are difficult to gather, the price is always right.’
“From late May through August, you can find the small red nuggets of sweetness. While snow and ice still cover the highest peaks, the white flowers of the wild strawberry dot the pastures and fields of the valleys. Throughout the spring and summer the cheerful blossoms climb the mountain sides, as the red fruit replaces them lower down.”
“Ripening first in the valleys, the berries climax on the mountaintops. The grasses on the balds of the Roan Highlands wave over an abundant crop late in the summer, providing hikers as well as rabbits, deer, possums, ground squirrels and other beasts a fortifying feast.”
Bakersville, North Carolina, is about 37 miles from Johnson City. | https://www.johnsoncitypress.com/living/today-in-johnson-city-history-june-9/article_a861edb6-e767-11ec-bc91-4fa63a123bf9.html | 2022-06-09T13:52:45Z | https://www.johnsoncitypress.com/living/today-in-johnson-city-history-june-9/article_a861edb6-e767-11ec-bc91-4fa63a123bf9.html | true | 1 |
Mother-daughter duo fined Rs 1 lakh by HC for suppressing facts in plea
A mother-daughter duo, who moved the Karnataka High Court with a petition seeking quashing of a First Information Report and case pending in a Magistrate court have been fined Rs one lakh for concealing facts about it. The mother and daughter obtained bail from the Magistrate and then approached the High Court for quashing of the case.
- Country:
- India
A mother-daughter duo, who moved the Karnataka High Court with a petition seeking quashing of a First Information Report and case pending in a Magistrate court have been fined Rs one lakh for concealing facts about it. The two had filed the petition through a general power-of-attorney (GPA) contending that they were in the United Kingdom and could not travel due to COVID restrictions at the time. However, they had suppressed the fact that they had returned to India and even travelled to Bengaluru to obtain bail from the Magistrate court. The complainant in the case is Syed Ali Hindustani, from Bengaluru who married Samantha Christina Delfina Willis on June 6, 2021. It is alleged that the wife left him within five days of marriage to her parents' home in Kolkata with all the jewels belonging to the husband’s mother allegedly for a photo shoot. She along with her mother Shakila Willis then flew to the UK. They returned in November 2021 seeking annulment of the marriage. It is alleged that while in the UK, they forced Hindustani to part with Rs 7.5 crore to buy a property. Based on the husband's complaint a case was registered for cheating, criminal intimidation and other charges. The mother and daughter obtained bail from the Magistrate and then approached the High Court for quashing of the case. Dismissing their petition, the HC said, ''If there is no candid disclosure of relevant and material facts or the petitioners are guilty of misleading the Court, the petition is to be dismissed at the threshold without considering the merit of the claim.'' The cost has to be paid to the High Court Legal Services Authority within four weeks the court ordered, observing that, ''There can be no doubt that the petitioners are guilty of approaching this Court with unclean hands and such petitions should be thrown to the winds by imposition of exemplary costs.'' The Court did not consider the merits of the case as it held that filing a writ petition in amalgamation with Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking quashing of the case in the lower court was not even maintainable. Such a petition was filed through a GPA holder who was not even aware of the facts of the case, the court said. Secondly, the petition suffered from suppression of material facts entailing its dismissal. Due to these two points, the ''merits of the matter need not be gone into, as both the points act as a threshold bar for entertaining the petition and the doors of this Court cannot be considered to be open or even ajar to the petitioners, but they are closed.''

Oleksandr Petrakov ‘truly moved’ by the reception his team received in Dublin
By PA Staff published
Ukraine boss Oleksandr Petrakov was ‘truly moved’ by the welcome his team received for the Nations League match in Dublin.
The 64-year-old guided his side to a 1-0 victory over the Republic at the Aviva Stadium on Wednesday evening, with around 3,500 Ukrainian refugees among the crowd.
However, it was the response he received before the game which humbled him.
Petrakov said: “I was walking in the morning and the Irish people were approaching me, wishing me all the best.
“I was truly moved by the Irish attitude towards the Ukrainians and I want to wish all the best not only to the Irish team, but to the whole of Ireland.
“We’ll see the Irish on the 14th of this month in Lodz in Poland.”
The sides will reconvene on Tuesday evening for the return fixture with Ukraine hoping to have added to their points tally in the meantime against Armenia on Saturday as Ireland attempt to belatedly open their account against Scotland at the Aviva.
Petrakov chose to rest 10 of the men who had started Sunday’s 1-0 defeat in Wales which ended their hopes of World Cup qualification, and revealed he would have changed all 11 had Eduard Sobol not been struck by illness.
In the event, only Everton’s Vitaliy Mykolenko was retained and seven men were handed competitive debuts at senior international level.
Petrakov said: “I spoke to Vitaliy, who I have known since he was a boy, and despite the fact that he played that extremely difficult game in Cardiff he said, ‘I’ll help the team. Not to worry, I’ll be playing with those new players’.
“He did and clearly he added performance and confidence to the national team debutants.
“In order not to harm the boys who left everything on the football pitch back in Wales, I decided to field young players who needed to get some first-hand experience of big games.
“I’m very happy happy they debuted and they debuted with a win. We’ll look into some mistakes, clearly, which we had, but overall I’m happy with the result, I’m happy with their attitude and performance.
“It’s a very positive thing that happened to our team, especially after a bitter result in Wales. We tuned the page, we’re going forward and we’ll look forward to our future.”

Earlier this year, the news of multi-factor authentication attacks began to surface. MFA is supposed to be a technique to limit attacks. If someone gets hold of a password, an MFA request usually prevents them from getting any further, but this year’s attacks showed that even MFA can be vulnerable under the right circumstances.
Xage (pronounced Zage) is a startup that has been working for several years to build security around critical infrastructure like oil and gas pipelines and water supplies that have proved vulnerable to hackers in recent years.
Today, the company announced a new tool designed to help these kinds of customers to defend against the MFA bombing attacks we have been seeing.
Roman Arutyunov, co-founder and VP of products at Xage says in most instances MFA is highly effective, but these attackers were able to find a vulnerability.
“The way this particular attack works is that it creates multiple MFA requests to a secondary device, basically in the middle of the night, so that an operator will just be so frustrated that they will just hit the approved button and therefore grant access for the attacker into that particular environment or application,” he explained.
Once inside, Arutyunov says the hackers typically launch malware, and attempt to make their way deeper into the company’s systems and find some valuable assets to steal. In the case of an electronic grid, water supply or oil and gas pipeline, that could be access to systems that run these critical assets to wreak havoc.
He said that when you are using a single layer of MFA, that can leave a company vulnerable to these types of attacks. In order to battle this, Xage has built a multi-layer, multi-factor authentication tool. This puts up a series of gates, so that if an attacker makes their way into the first level, they won’t be able to get to the organization’s more critical technology.
The product works with the rest of the Xage fabric to help prevent attacks. As CEO Duncan Greatwood told me earlier this year, the fabric is designed to protect these systems more broadly:
“The fabric is a mesh of software nodes that overlays the operation to provide granular control of every digital interaction. It provides zero trust protection that spans operations, IT and the cloud, underpinning both cybersecurity and digital transformation,” he said.
In conjunction with this fabric, a hacker, who is trying to find a vulnerability as quickly as possible, would be presented with another MFA request to get into the next level of technology. By putting up these additional obstacles, it reduces the likelihood of success, Arutyunov says.
“Now the power of this is that now the probability of a successful compromise is reduced by orders of magnitude. So these MFA bombing attacks are essentially impossible using this multi layer approach,” he said.
The new feature is available to users of the broader Xage fabric starting today. The company claims that it is the first to use this technique to help prevent these types of attacks. | https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/09/xage-releases-new-tool-to-battle-mfa-bombing-in-critical-infrastructure/ | 2022-06-09T14:01:50Z | https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/09/xage-releases-new-tool-to-battle-mfa-bombing-in-critical-infrastructure/ | false | 2 |
A MUM has revealed the many annoying things her partner did while she was in labour.
Ashleigh, who is from the US, shared a video on YouTube where she explained she was 8cm dilated when doctors tried to insert a catheter to ease the pain - only to realise the epidural had failed.
She was 38 weeks pregnant when she went into labour and explained: “I woke Ramon up straight away… he was so confused, he wasn’t expecting it either. He kept saying 'are you serious?'”
But it may be surprising to hear that it wasn't Ashleigh complaining about being in discomfort...it was in fact, her partner Ramon.
Taking to TikTok, she revealed how he said: “I can’t get comfortable in this chair."
Amusingly, Ashleigh quipped: “Sir, I am having contractions”.
However that didn't stop Ramon's remarks, as he also moaned about being "tired" and "hungry" during the duration of the labour.
He said: “I wonder when he’ll make his appearance,” to which Ashleigh joked: “you and me both”.
The mum-of-two captioned the post: "When your in a labour any little thing gets under your skin lol."

A second quipped: "I already warned my husband... I don't eat, he doesn't eat, I don't sleep, he doesn't sleep."
A third commented: "I felt this. Mine complained the WHOLE time. Asked my nurses for medicine bc he had a headache and was in pain."
Meanwhile, another added: "Mine ate all day, slept all day, complained he was cold, then asked if they were short staffed bc they wanted him to hold my leg when I pushed."

BERLIN (AP) — Authorities in Germany should prepare for several possible pandemic scenarios this fall that would likely strain the country’s health system and critical infrastructure, an expert panel said Wednesday.
The government-appointed panel said the country continues to have immunity gaps in the population, and it recommended promoting vaccines against the coronavirus and making them more easily available.
The panel advised authorities to ensure that testing facilities can be scaled up quickly in the fall and also said COVID-19 patients also should get earlier access to antiviral drugs.
The experts urged the German government to provide a clear legal foundation for any public health restrictions it might decide to put in place, especially if a dangerous new variant emerges.
They also recommended developing a “fundamental strategy” for dealing with infection-related disruptions to schools. The experts noted chaotic efforts to keep students learning despite school closures during the early stages of the pandemic.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said last week that the government would try to avoid closing schools and child care facilities if there were another surge in COVID-19 cases.
Germany on Wednesday reported 84,655 new daily cases and 145 virus deaths. | https://www.wjbf.com/health-2/ap-health/experts-urge-germanys-govt-to-prepare-for-fall-covid-wave/ | 2022-06-09T14:14:59Z | https://www.wjbf.com/health-2/ap-health/experts-urge-germanys-govt-to-prepare-for-fall-covid-wave/ | false | 34 |
Offering a compact form factor, high channel density, ease of use, and high-quality, Haivision's Makito X4 video encoder and decoder pair bring fans closer to the action
MONTREAL, June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Haivision Systems Inc. ("Haivision") (TSX: HAI), a leading global provider of mission-critical, real-time video streaming and networking solutions, today announced that the Philadelphia Eagles are leveraging its ultra-low latency Makito X4 video encoder and decoder pair to stream synchronized multi-camera live video feeds from remote venues back to their broadcast studio to produce unique and engaging pre-and post-game content for fans.
When the team travels to away games, Philadelphia Eagles live stream content to audiences watching on YouTube and Facebook, as well as to the philadelphiaeagles.com website and their mobile app. When working at remote venues, there are many complexities to overcome to achieve the low latency required to enable two-way audio communications between the production studio and to give fans the experience of being alongside their team while they're on the road.
On-field, sideline, and end-zone cameras need to be set up, and there are logistics involved in managing frequencies and wiring, often in an unfamiliar stadium. Once the cameras are in place, video signals need to be synchronized and brought back at sub-second latency to their studio in Philadelphia. This used to mean transporting a large amount of broadcast gear as well as the logistical challenges involved when traveling with up to seven staff members needed to operate the equipment.
With a focus on reducing setup time, costs, and logistical complexity, the Philadelphia Eagles turned to Haivision's compact Makito X4 Encoder to encode four HD video inputs simultaneously at very low latency while keeping the outgoing streams in sync.
"No other company offers the compact form factor of the Makito X4 encoder, which allows us to simultaneously send streams from four cameras in sync back to our studio in 200 milliseconds," said David Sullivan, Senior Broadcast & Media Engineer, Philadelphia Eagles. "It's been a total game-changer. We turned it on and immediately saw the benefits. Not only has the Makito X4 made our workflows easier and faster to set up, but it has also made our overall production look better."
Brian Henry, Haivision's Senior Vice President, Sales, comments: "We're pleased to see that the Makito X4 is providing the Eagles' media team with a stellar solution to streamline its workflows and deliver a wider range of content to fans. With its exceptional video quality, low latency SRT streaming, along with the highest available 4K UHD and HD encoding density, we're extremely proud of the powerful potential that the Makito X4 offers for broadcast and remote production applications."
By using the Makito X4 encoder, the Eagles have been able to reduce the number of staff needed to travel to away games as everything can be managed remotely, providing significant time and cost efficiencies as well as peace of mind when it comes to reliability and ease of use.

Star Trek's Borg Queen star Alice Krige addresses possible return to Picard
STAR TREK actress Alice Krige is no stranger to screens, she was immortalised for her role as the Borg Queen in the 1996 film Star Trek: First Contact starring opposite Sir Patrick Stewart. In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, the South African-born actress spoke about the character, coming back to the franchise, whether she could appear in the final season of Picard, and her other projects.
Star Trek: Picard season 3 teaser
Krige has returned to Star Trek as the Borg Queen before several times over the years, including appearing in the Star Trek video game Armada II and the Star Trek: Voyager in 2001. Since her debut as the character, the role of the Borg Queen has also been played by Susanna Thompson and most recently on Picard by Annie Wersching. But how would she feel about a return opposite Sir Patrick?
“I’ve not spoken to them, so I’m not sure whether I am or not,” she said.
The news is likely to sadden fans who may have hoped for her return with most of the original cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation making a comeback for the third and final season of Picard.
Nonetheless, Krige recently revisited the franchise, reprising her role as a spoof of the Borg Queen in the animated series Lower Decks.
The actress revealed how she recorded her voice parts for Lower Decks in a clothes cupboard during lockdown.

She said of going back to the Borg Queen: “Well, it was very odd because they wanted me to take the p*** out it.
“It wasn’t meant to be seriously the Borg Queen. It was a very sly, tongue-in-cheek take on the whole thing, really. It was sly and just slightly satirical and amused really.
“So it was a completely different reading of the character but it was different and it was fun and a challenge. We did it during lockdown and I was in a cupboard with a mic.”
Krige went on to say: “But it’s perfect soundproofing for a sound studio, it’s all fabric. Adding: “So I did Lower Decks inside my cupboard with a mic and it was fun.”
Krige reflected about the sustained appeal of Star Trek, saying the scriptwriting was “very interesting” and the franchise “deal in ideas” which interested people.
Speaking about why the Borg Queen continued to compel Star Trek fans, she said: “The character is very interesting. I’m not sure they understood how much of an archetype they’d written, quite how iconic the character would become. Maybe they knew? I don’t know.
“But she certainly became an enigma that it seems to be me, people come up to me to talk about the character, and unto which people project their fears.
“She is a character that seems to hold people’s deepest anxieties and the fact that she was both horrifying but somehow compelling at the same time is enormously disconcerting to people. They don’t quite know how to do about it.
Krige continued: “I think the character was very disquieting and for some people it’s about sexuality, for some people it’s about mechanisation, for other people it’s about AI.
“Everyone seems to interpret who she was or what she represented in a slightly different way but it’s never comfortable.”

Krige has gone on to star in many films and television programmes over the years, counting credits in the cult Netflix hit The OA, Thor: The Dark World, Amazon Prime Video’s Carnival Row, and The Alienist.
She will next be starring in the movie She Will, a supernatural thriller which also stars Malcolm McDowell and see her portraying Veronica, an aged actress recovering from a double masectomy at a rehabilitation clinic at the insistence of her insurance company.
While Veronica is convalescing, she confronts past trauma and abuse at the hands of a director on one of the first movies and rights the wrongs inflicted upon her through her subconscious.
Veronica also forms a close friendship with her nurse Desi (Kota Eberhardt) as both women find strength to overcome the pain from their past.
The remote setting in the Scottish Highlands also has a part to play, Veronica is recovering at the home of the last two women in the country to be burnt at the stake as a witch.
Krige said: “Women were being burnt left, right and centre for being witches and Scotland burned more than any other country.
“The presence of these two women and all the burned women enter into the storyline and become a driving force in the storyline. But there’s another element to this story that fascinated me was this sense of a cosmic hole.”
She added of starring in She Will: “There was so much to be intrigued by and to explore. I was overjoyed to be offered it.”
She Will will be released in cinemas on July 15 | https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1623116/Star-Trek-Borg-Queen-Alice-Krige-Picard-series-return | 2022-06-09T14:18:50Z | https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1623116/Star-Trek-Borg-Queen-Alice-Krige-Picard-series-return | true | 1 |

Good news: A star NFC West wide receiver has gotten his contract extension.
Bad news: It’s not DK Metcalf.
Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp has joined teammate Aaron Donald in securing the bag from the Los Angeles Rams front office. It’s a three-year extension with $75 million guaranteed (and a total of $80 million as part of the deal), making it the largest guarantee for a wide receiver in NFL history.
But hey! These big paydays and extensions come at a cost. Travin Howard, who made the game-winning interception to send the Rams to the Super Bowl, was released as part of this monumental deal for Kupp.
It was a good day for the #Rams. But big-money extensions aren't without consequences. The team released RFA LB Travin Howard -- and his $2.54M salary -- earlier today to create room for the Cooper Kupp extension. https://t.co/ipawChHcmk
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) June 9, 2022
So here we are in this offseason dominated in part by wide receivers getting traded and/or securing big contracts, and still nothing on Metcalf. Kupp obviously just landed a deserved huge pay raise, Tyreek Hill got one from the Miami Dolphins after the Kansas City Chiefs wouldn’t give him one, Davante Adams has a new deal after his trade to the Las Vegas Raiders, and Stefon Diggs inked a new contract with the Buffalo Bills that includes $70 million in guarantees. Oh, and more Metcalf relevant given they’re from the same draft class, A.J. Brown was dealt to the Tennessee Titans and his contract with the Philadelphia Eagles nets him an average of $25 million per year.
“The price of the brick going up,” Marlo Stanfield once said on The Wire.
Of course, the disgruntled Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin are both up for their own extensions, so Metcalf is hardly the only one within his own draft class still waiting, but he’s seemingly getting costlier by the day.
Welp, the price to retain DK Metcalf just went up now that Cooper Kupp is inking a 3-year extension paying an average of ~$26M per year in new money (according to reports). The longer DK and his agent wait, the richer they’ll be. https://t.co/FcmyBRFxjx

Novak Djokovic 'not playing before Wimbledon' to 'recover mentally' from French Open loss
NOVAK DJOKOVIC will not be playing a grass-court warm-up event.
Novak Djokovic will not be playing a grass court warm-up event following his quarter-final exit from the French Open and is instead set to come straight to Wimbledon. The Serb has not been in action since losing to Rafael Nadal in Paris and will not be getting any competition in before the next Grand Slam tournament, according to his coach.
Djokovic is the defending champion at Wimbledon but, with the ATP removing ranking points, is primed to take a blow to his ranking when his 2,000 points for last year’s victory are removed. He is already set to drop to world No 3 on Monday as a result of his early exit from the French Open and could earn crucial points by competing in the grass-court warm-up events.
But the 20-time Grand Slam champion has opted to take a break in Montenegro instead, where he flew after losing to his long-time rival Nadal in the French Open quarter-final, with his coach admitting he needs time to “recover mentally” from the 6-2 4-6 6-2 7-6(4) loss. “Probably nothing (before Wimbledon). We will see more, but now is the time to recover mentally,” Goran Ivanisevic told SportKlub.
Despite Djokovic’s disappointment at failing to defend his French Open title, the retired former world No 1 claimed his charge would be ready to go in Wimbledon - where he is a six-time champion and has won the last three editions of the tournament. “As I said before, people like Novak are geniuses with a different way of thinking - they need a little time to come back and put some things together in their head, but it still takes time,” he continued.
JUST IN: Zverev told how he could have prevented horror French Open injury
“Then that is it, and even before experiencing disappointments, I know that he will be ready for the grass.” Ivanisevic has been open about the blow of Djokovic’s defeat in Paris, previously admitting he “couldn’t sleep” after watching the Serb’s negative body language on court.
Asked about the 35-year-old’s on-court demeanour during his loss to Nadal, the former Wimbledon champion told Tennis Majors: “Yes, everyone noticed. I do not know [why], we have not spoken yet. That is why I am so troubled by this match, I can’t sleep.”

BARCELONA, Spain -- The European Union on Thursday urged Algeria to reverse its decision a day after the gas-rich north African country ordered the suspension of a two-decade-old friendship treaty with Spain.
The move was the latest by Algeria to ratchet up pressure on Madrid after Spain’s government changed is long-standing policy regarding the contested territory of Western Sahara, whose independence movement from Morocco is supported by rival Algeria.
Algeria recalled its ambassador to Spain in March after Madrid came out in support of Morocco’s pretensions to keep Western Sahara under its rule.
Spain was the former colonial power in Western Sahara until it was annexed by Morocco in 1975. Since then, Algeria and neighboring Morocco have had tense ties over the fate of the Western Sahara, at one point fighting a desert war.
Algeria’s now openly hostile turn against a member of the 27-country EU bloc comes while Spain and the rest of the continent is hustling to find alternatives to Russian energy imports in retaliation to its invasion of Ukraine.
European Commission spokeswoman Nabila Massrali told reporters Thursday that the decision is “deeply worrying, and we therefore call on the Algerian authorities to review their decision.
“Algeria is an important European Union partner in the Mediterranean (region), and a key actor for regional stability,” Massrali said. “We are evaluating the impact of the decision, and solutions must be found through dialogue and diplomatic means.
“We hope that Algeria will reverse its decision and work with Spain to overcome the current disagreement.”
The true impact of the diplomatic move is yet to be seen, although Algeria has reportedly ordered its national bank to stop facilitating payments with Spain, which could disrupt trade.
The Spanish government quickly moved to assuage fears that Algeria’s important supply of natural gas that it pumps and ships across the Mediterranean could be at risk.
Spanish Foreign Minister José Albares said that so far no Spanish companies working with Algeria have reported any “inconveniences.”
And, he added, “what the gas companies are telling us is that the decision has not caused any difficulties.”
Algeria’s Sonatrach was Spain’s leading supplier of natural gas last year with more than 40% of its imports. Coinciding with the fraying of relations with Algeria, Spain has since pivoted to the United States, which has become its leading supplier of gas in recent months ahead of Algeria.
Algeria, whose fragile economy depends heavily on its energy exports, signed a new deal with Italy in April to increase the gas flow through the pipeline connecting the two countries.
Spain imports large amounts of fertilizers in addition to gas from Algeria, while Spanish companies send primarily soy oil and meat products the other way.
While thousands of migrants from Africa leave from the coasts of Morocco for Spain each year, Algeria also plays an important role in controlling unauthorized migration from its coasts.
Spain, Morocco and Algeria have been caught in a three-way diplomatic tug-of-war over Western Sahara for the past year.
Trouble started when Spain allowed the leader of Western Sahara's separatist movement enter Spain to receive treatment for COVID-19 in May 2020. Morocco responded by dropping its border controls around the Spain's north Africa enclave of Ceuta, which was quickly overwhelmed by thousands of migrants including many young Moroccans.
Relations only normalized between Madrid and Rabat after Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez took the unpopular decision at home to back Morocco's plan to keep Western Sahara under its control as an autonomous area.
But that, in turn, has pushed Algiers away.
The crisis with Algeria comes with Sánchez’s government facing intense criticism at home for its siding with Morocco and with Spain’s economy struggling with high energy prices driven by global inflation.

The List Boasts 275 of the Country's Leading Dermatologists
NEW YORK , June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Newsweek has released the 2022 America's Best Dermatologists List in partnership with Statista. Due to the significant difference in services provided, the list is split into two categories - cosmetic and medical - resulting in a total of 275 dermatologists (125 cosmetic and 150 medical) awarded to make up the leading dermatologists in the U.S.
The Top Five Medical Dermatologists in America are:
- Aaron Coulon, MD (Miami)
- Mark G. Lebwohl, MD (Los Angeles)
- David J. Goldberg, MD (Aventura, FL)
- Amy S. Paller, MD (Northbrook, IL)
- Misha Rosenbach, MD (Philadelphia)
The Top Five Cosmetic Dermatologists in America are:
- Mitchel P. Goldman, MD (San Diego)
- Rebecca Fitzgerald, MD (Los Angeles)
- Doris Day, MD (New York)
- Jill S. Waibel, MD (Miami)
- Kimberly J. Butterwick, MD (San Diego)
To review the entire list, go to www.Newsweek.com/bder-2022.
"Skincare is vital to overall health," said Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief, Newsweek. "We are proud to once again partner with Statista to provide readers with a guide to the best dermatologists who have been recognized by their peers for the level of care they provide patients."
"Our long-standing partnership with Newsweek has produced a stellar roster of the leading dermatologists in the U.S.," said Evan Tobias, Director of Licensing, Statista. "We are pleased to be able to provide this resource and look forward to continuing this practice of recognizing the medical professionals who go above and beyond to provide quality care."
The survey found that the highest-ranking dermatologists work primarily in an outpatient setting where patients can schedule direct appointments with the respective dermatologists as opposed to in patient settings.
Methodology
The 2022 America's Top Dermatologists lists the highest-scoring dermatologists in the 20 most populous U.S. states. During the survey period from February to April 2022, over 2,200 dermatologists, medical professionals, administrators, and managers who work in outpatient practices, were invited to an online survey via Newsweek.com.
From the survey, a score was calculated for each dermatologist based on the number of recommendations and a quality score (as assessed by the peer survey). In-state recommendations were weighted higher than out-of-state recommendations and the quality score. For cosmetic dermatologists, participants were also able to specify a standout treatment (Laser, Injectables, Body contouring) for the recommended dermatologists. Doctors who have received several recommendations for one of the two standout treatments received an additional designation.

MONTREAL, June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Circular Plastic Taskforce (CPT) is proud to announce a partnership with Digimarc Corporation (Nasdaq: DMRC), creator of Digimarc watermarks that are driving the next generation of digital identification and detection-based solutions, to test Digimarc® Recycle for optimizing the sortation of flexible plastic packaging in Canada, a first in North America. This project marks the start of Phase II of the CPT, which aims to carry out or support projects to improve the recycling of all plastic packaging within the evolving Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) landscape in Quebec and Canada.
Digimarc Recycle represents a revolution in the sortation, and thus the recycling, of plastic waste. Digital watermarks are applied within the package artwork, no special inks or print process required, and are visible to specialized sorting equipment but imperceptible to consumers. The watermarks, when scanned by machine cameras, connect to a cloud-based database containing unlimited (and extensible) characteristics of the package, such as the manufacturer and specific product, prior use (food versus non-food), additives or the presence of components that are problematic for recycling. As such, it can help facilitate flexible packaging sortation.
"We are thrilled to launch such a forward-looking project and get our Phase II underway", says the Circular Plastics Taskforce Steering Committee. "The results from our Phase I study show that even if flexible plastic packaging represents a significant portion of plastic packaging used in Quebec and Canada, their recovery rates remain low. One of the reasons is that today's sortation equipment cannot distinguish between mono-material recyclable packaging and multi-material structures, therefore lowering bale quality. We believe Digimarc Recycle can help solve this challenge."
"We are excited to bring Digimarc Recycle to North America and to help the Circular Plastic Taskforce achieve their circularity-driven objectives," adds Emily Stolarcyk, Sustainability Program Director for Business Development at Digimarc Corporation. "Digimarc's digital watermarks, a key component of Digimarc Recycle, have proven to be a truly innovative way to correctly identify each unique package. Connecting watermarks to an extensible database of product and packaging attributes ensures we can help enable a more circular economy now and in the future. This will benefit facilities and brands in meeting their recycling goals, in both the increase of volume and the purity of recycled material."
The first part of the project consists of testing the ability of specialized optical sorters to adequately capture flexible packaging with digital watermarks in a controlled environment. This test will be performed at the Pellenc R&D Center in Pertuis, France, with various flexible packaging samples manufactured Balcan Innovations, TC Transcontinental (co-founder of the CPT,) and Winpak Ltd. Following the results of this initial test, the second part of the project, which should begin in 2023, will aim at testing this solution in a real-life environment and at a much larger scale, with the goal of producing film bales meeting the high-quality specifications of recyclers. To do so, specialized sorting equipment will be installed in sorting centers and recyclers in Quebec and Ontario to capture flexible packaging with digital watermarking put on the market by our retail and brand partners.
The project also seeks to confirm the effectiveness of Digimarc Recycle to provide traceability of packaging. Traceability is a prerequisite to produce food-grade recycled resin and will be key to comply with upcoming regulations that will be implemented to accelerate the transition to a circular economy for plastics.
About the Circular Plastics Taskforce (CPT)
The CPT's objective is to promote the implementation of a circular economy for post-consumer plastics in Quebec and Canada. The CPT aims to improve the alignment between end markets' needs for recycled resins and the recycling value chain, by identifying and implementing concrete optimization solutions that can be deployed in the short and medium term. The members of the CPT steering committee are Cascades, Danone Canada, Dyne-a-pak, Keurig Dr Pepper Canada, TC Transcontinental, the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada (CIAC) and Éco Entreprises Québec (ÉEQ).

There are a bunch of hidden Google Maps features you probably didn’t know about, and more are being added all the time. The latest one can help you find the highest quality oxygen in your area, and improve your breathing in the process.
No we don’t mean directions towards the best scuba diving shop, though Google Maps can do that as well if you want it to. The bigwigs over at Google have just added a brand new layer to the map, letting you see just how good the air quality is (opens in new tab) across the United States.
This feature is available on iOS and Android devices right now, and shows you the local Air Quality Index (AQI) over the standard map interface.
This layer utilizes data from government agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as PurpleAir. PurpleAir has a low-cost sensor network that offers Google Maps hyperlocal data, so you can see just how good (or bad) the air is in quite a small area.
Here’s how to check air quality in Google Maps:
1. Open Google Maps and tap the Layer button, it can be found at the bottom right of the search bar (right below the search terms such as 'Restaurants' and 'Hotels').
2. Choose the Air Quality option at the bottom right of the pop-up menu.
3. You’ll notice two changes: A pop-up menu showing the general air quality for the area in view, and a series of dots on the map itself.
4. Tapping a dot gives you more localized data for a specific spot, including information on how much risk you are of pollution.
Green dots mean the air quality is generally good, yellow is moderate, orange is unhealthy, red is very unhealthy, and darker shades are deemed ‘hazardous’.
Google has also taken this opportunity to remind users that it also has a dedicated wildfire layer, featuring reported fires and the area they pose a risk to. Wildfires have become increasingly common across the world, especially in the warmer summer months.
If you live in an area at risk of wildfire, you can access this layer the same way you’d find Air Quality.
The Air Quality layer is currently available in the United States, India and parts of Australia. This data can be accessed in the Google maps app, or through Nest speakers and displays. | https://www.tomsguide.com/news/google-maps-just-got-a-great-new-feature-to-help-you-find-clean-air | 2022-06-09T14:32:10Z | https://www.tomsguide.com/news/google-maps-just-got-a-great-new-feature-to-help-you-find-clean-air | false | 2 |

FIA president forced to release statement after slamming Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen over human rights stance
UNDER-FIRE FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has issued a statement on Twitter - just days after hitting out at drivers for speaking about human rights and mental health.
Ben Sulayem was only appointed in December.
But he has already driven a wedge between the sport's governing body and F1's owner's, Liberty Media.
And his comments will also alarm drivers such as Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton, who have spoken about social issues, and Lando Norris, who addressed mental health.
Ben Sulayem was quoted as saying: "Niki Lauda and Alain Prost only cared about driving.
"Now, Vettel drives a rainbow bicycle, Lewis is passionate about human rights and Norris addresses mental health.
"Everybody has the right to think.
"To me, it is about deciding whether we should impose our beliefs in [sic] something over the sport all the time."
The interview had sparked much anger across social media but he has now tried to clarify his comments.
And he insisted he DOES support drivers trying to help "progress in society".

He wrote on Twitter: "As a driver, I have always believed in sport as a catalyst of progress in society.
"That is why promoting sustainability, diversity and inclusion is a key priority of my mandate.
"In the same way, I value the commitment of all drivers and champions for a better future." | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18835093/formula-one-fia-president-statement-human-rights/ | 2022-06-09T14:37:44Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18835093/formula-one-fia-president-statement-human-rights/ | true | 6 |
Every gas station is essentially the same -- the nozzle fits every vehicle, the pump takes common credit cards and the price is posted on a big sign. The Biden administration wants to make electric vehicle charging stations a lot more like that.
Its new proposed rule would require the half-million electric vehicle chargers it plans to fund to be interoperable, similar to the way a gas pump works with any vehicle.
Charging stations funded under the federal program would also be open to anyone -- prohibiting any membership requirements -- and set a common standard for payment and other technologies. The charging stations would be built along America's highways.
The proposal, which came from the Department of Transportation and the Department of Energy on Thursday, comes as consumers at the pump continue to pay record high gas prices. As CNN previously reported, the US average for the price of a gallon of regular gas hit $4.96 according to the most recent reading from AAA Wednesday. It marked the 12th straight day, and the 29th time in the last 30 that gas has set a record in America.
Though President Joe Biden recently acknowledged there was nothing he can do to bring down gas prices in the near term, his electric vehicle push is a part of his plan to address the climate crisis. In August of last year, the President announced a target that half of vehicles sold in the country by 2030 will be battery electric, fuel-cell electric or plug-in hybrid.
The new initiative is part of the administration's effort to ensure electric charging accessibility for all Americans and to target the key concerns preventing drivers from buying electric vehicles. Key among them is range anxiety, a driver's fear that he or she may not have enough charge to reach the next plug-in station.
The Biden administration is also targeting other concerns by requiring standardized pricing and payment systems, and pouring billions into other efforts like fast charging battery technology.
If finalized as drafted, the rule would apply to chargers funded by the federal infrastructure law signed last November. It includes about $5 billion that will go to states to build the charging networks, including funding that targets chargers along interstates and other major routes.
"To support the transition to electric vehicles, we must build a national charging network that makes finding a charge as easy as filling up at a gas station," said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Perched atop one of London's most famous Victorian cemeteries—Highgate Cemetery— with views towards London's skyline and set over four floors, eldridge london's latest project is both cutting-edge and stylish.
The site's preexisting house—dating from the 1970’s—was Winter House, a house designed by noted British Architect John Winter. Taking on such a responsibility, eldridge london first looked into the the possibility of restoring the previous house's corroding retaining steel structure, or even replacing it. However, such a task would have actually required a complete reconstruction and in the end the decision to build new was so that the clients could benefit the most from such a high potential and unique site.
Surrounded by a wealth of Gothic tombs and buildings—and even where Karl Marx is buried—the four storey House in Highgate Cemetery is imposing as well as it is mysterious. The cemetery, which is now a designated nature reserve, provides the clients with a calming yet unnerving atmosphere. Translucent glass windows wrap almost around all facades of the house, allowing for natural light to filter into all of those dark and unseen spaces.
In the main atrium, the striking hanging fireplace is linked vertically through the heavy loading concrete floors; like both a piece of art and watchful eye, protecting the residents from any astray and wandering unknown spirits. The slow heat responses of the concrete frame, which slows down heat gain in summer and restricts heat loss in winter, was an environmental initiative by the architects to make the house more sustainable and ensure it produces less energy usage than the original.
The expansive and modern contemporary kitchen fitted out with modern furnishing's and fittings is a welcome addition to the added top floor. A retractable sliding roof-light filters in an abundance of natural light enabling the top floor to literally become an open-air court allowing the expanse of light to filter through and penetrate all floors of the house.
Large, modern balconies and terraces hover directly over the property's boundary and act as viewing platforms for the clients and their guests to look over towards the cemetery and beyond. The house's high-tech design is a combination of a sturdy modern concrete frame, steel paneling and an abundance of transluscent glass.
As expected, the bathroom is simple, elegant and contemporary. Each bathroom—situated on every floor of the house—is lined with white corian and white marble flooring. Mirrored cabinets and an opaque glass shower screen enlarge the space making it airy, open and light.
The central stairwell is an engineering delight. Cantilevered pre-cast concrete stair treads protruding from either side of the concrete walls are supported with a stainless steel handrail that is resin bonded to the glass. Two four-metre-high sheets of tough laminated stair fins were so heavy and large that they were craned into position through a open slot created in the roof.
When the air is still and the sun is down, the house becomes alive and shines like a beacon in the night. The predominately all glass exterior illuminates the internal spaces and gives the house life in a somewhat lifeless necropolis.

NEW YORK (AP) — Brian Selznick’s next book was inspired in part by a famous friend, Steven Spielberg.
Billed by publisher Scholastic as a “love letter to the natural world,” Selznick’s “Big Tree” tells the story of two sycamore seeds and their quest across time and space to save the world. The 528-page book, featuring nearly 300 pages of illustrations by Selznick, comes out April 4, 2023. He began working on “Big Tree” after Spielberg suggested he write a story of nature, from nature’s point of view.
“’Big Tree’ is about a kind of hope that can be found in nature,” Selznick said in a statement released Thursday. “It’s about surviving by working together to create a community. It’s about moving forward, planning for the future, and growing — even in the face of destruction. The natural world offers so many beautiful metaphors to help us live. Trees need each other to survive in the same way people need each other to survive. And like nature, we need to be adaptable as we grow.”
In a statement about the book, Spielberg said, “The tale of the natural world is the greatest story we have to tell, and Brian delivers a brilliant chapter of it in the pages of ‘Big Tree.’”
Selznick’s previous books include “Wonderstruck,” “The Marvels” and “Invention of Hugo Cabret,” winner in 2008 of the Caldecott medal for illustration of a children’s story and the basis of Martin Scorsese’s film “Hugo.” | https://wgno.com/news/entertainment/brian-selznicks-big-tree-to-be-published-next-spring/ | 2022-06-09T14:42:31Z | https://wgno.com/news/entertainment/brian-selznicks-big-tree-to-be-published-next-spring/ | true | 33 |

Dubai’s tourism sector continues to recover fast after the Covid-19 pandemic as the emirate recorded a massive increase in tourist arrivals in the first four months of this year.
According to Dubai Media Office, the number of visitors to the city reached 5.1 million during January-April 2022, registering a major increase of 203 per cent.
The increased flow of tourists helped improve hotel occupancy across the emirate, which reached 76 per cent during the period.
Dubai received almost four million international overnight visitors between January and March 2022, a huge year-on-year growth of 214 per cent. The city also ranked No.1 globally in hotel occupancy in the first quarter of 2022, with 82 per cent.
Foreign tourists’ trust on the UAE and Dubai has further improved after successful handling of the pandemic and also due to its status as a one of the world’s safest cities. Recently, Dubai was rated the third safest city to travel for females solo travellers, thanks to a very low crime rate, according to a study by InsureMyTrip, a UK-based travel insurance company.
STR Global’s preliminary data has revealed that Dubai hotels recorded occupancy and average daily rates (ADR) that exceeded the 2019 Eid Al Fitr comparables, according to preliminary data. Similarly, Dubai’s occupancy came in at 75.4 per cent during the Eid, which was 19.7 per cent higher than the pre-pandemic comparable.
Philip Wooller, STR’s senior director for the Middle East and Africa, said Dubai saw rates over Dh700, which was up from Dh400 in 2019.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration on Wednesday accused three U.S. companies of sending to China blueprints and technical drawings for satellite and rocket technology and other defense prototypes.
The Commerce Department leveled the allegations as it blocked the three companies from exporting items to foreign countries for 180 days. That punishment, known as a temporary denial order, is regarded as among the most severe civil sanctions available to the department.
The companies — Quicksilver Manufacturing Inc., Rapid Cut LLC, and U.S. Prototype Inc. — provide 3-D printing services to customers that include manufacturers of space and defense technology. The Commerce Department says the customers would send blueprints and drawings to the companies that they wanted printed — and that the companies in turn would send that work to China, presumably as a way to cut costs.
That transaction would have required U.S. government approval, but no permission was requested, the Commerce Department said.
“Outsourcing 3-D printing of space and defense prototypes to China harms U.S. national security,” Matthew Axelrod, an assistant secretary of commerce for export enforcement, said in a statement. “By sending their customers’ technical drawings and blueprints to China, these companies may have saved a few bucks — but they did so at the collective expense of protecting U.S. military technology.”
The 11-page Commerce Department order does not allege that the blueprints wound up being exploited by the Chinese military, but it does say the actions present “serious national security concerns.” U.S. officials have warned in the past about blurred lines between the military and private industry.
The Commerce Department used customers of the companies to check their records to ensure that their intellectual property was not compromised.
The companies use the same rental mailbox in Wilmington, North Carolina. Requests for comments sent through the websites of Quicksilver Manufacturing Inc. and Rapid Cut LLC were not immediately returned.

With the eclectic decorating style being all the rage in 2016, we thought it would be a great idea to bring you one of the best examples of a home makeover in this exciting style.
Paris based interior architects, Dmesure, are absolute masters of eclectic home furnishing and decorating as you will soon see from their latest project, which we're going to take a tour of today.
Sometimes an eclectic style can be an overload to the senses due to so many pieces of furniture, finishes and various decorations all screaming for attention with their bold colours and contrasting patterns. Thankfully in this case, the experts at Dmesure have found a perfect balance where everything is in the right place and each item has a reason for being there.
Let's begin our look around…
This is the home that boasts an amazing eclectic interior by Dmesure. It's probably not the type of home you would imagine to flaunt such a style but, as we all know, looks can be deceiving!
This rural homestead, built from beautiful limestone blocks, is over a century old and has been preserved by a number of thoughtful interventions. Stone blocks and tiles that were once crumbling have been replaced, while new plumbing and new drainage has been installed to ensure the building stands for another century or longer.
Now we see the spectacular home during daylight hours, which is typical structure of the architectural style found in this region.
What sets this particular home apart from its neighbours is a strong sense of modern beauty, which can be seen with that lavish swimming pool and stylish loungers located a hop and a skip away from the main house.
One of the most overlooked aspects of a home is the entrance. It's the space where one greets guests and is where you want to make a good impression. Our emotional response to this hallway is of pure astonishment. This isn't a fleeting emotion either, with the more time we spend observing it all, the more impressed we become.
The exposed stone walls, tile flooring and crisp white walls provide a gorgeous backdrop for the decorating style to be best expressed. None of the pieces here can be considered 'big statements', but rather each piece uniquely settles into their context.
In every good home there should always be a big table for people to gather around to share a meal. Dmesure got this memo and here is the result. A timber dining table sits centrally with ten (yes, ten!) dining chairs to match.
Lighting in this dining room plays an important role in the look and feel of the space, influencing the mood of those dining. By dimming the funky cooking-pot hanging lights, a particular mood can be created underneath this grand dining table at dinnertime.
Just as important as ensuring your guests are comfortable for their meal is providing tasty food to satisfy their hunger. Don't be fooled because concealed behind traditional style cabinets is the latest in gadgetry and top-of-the-line cookware to help those in the kitchen.
A prominent feature found in the living room are the exposed timber beams that reveal the embedded history of the building. Appearing to be inspired by the rustic nature of the space, we can see that the décor takes a more subdued appearance and reflects rustic charm.
The couches and seats found in the lounge look both comfortable to sit in and charming to the eye. Sitting low against the rear wall, below the window, is a sofa that can seat just as many as the dining table.
It's not surprising that there is a wine cellar in this home as a wine collection such as this is best kept together in uniformity. Filled to the brim (pun intended) are the full-height wine racks that line one of the walls.
Here you'll find the best wine the region has to offer, which will pair wonderfully with the meals being prepared upstairs.
This bedroom adopts a genuine homely feel. It's a space where the interior designers haven't gone for stylistic statements.
Instead they have focused on maintaining a clean and simple room with a scheme consisting of creams, white and sky blue, which come together to create a calming space where the grown ups love to retreat to every night.
Attached to the bedroom is a personal en suite. The bright setting is an undeniable mood-booster, making this bathroom the best place to help one wake up and get ready for the day ahead.
Every piece in here has been considered for its luxurious appeal and quality. If you're looking for inspiration for a bathroom sink, then look no further than the one found here with its chiselled stone design.
Despite being the domain for the little ones, this children's bedroom looks suspiciously neat and tidy. There are two bunk beds found in the room, meaning there could be up to four mischievous children sleeping here, yet everything looks perfect!
Storing toys, spare blankets and books are the many drawers and shelves that have been built into the design of the bunk beds. They are a source of satisfaction for the adults since they make cleaning up quick and their lives so much easier.

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

"We hope XIAOWEI can make a family's daily life easier", states Dr. Tang Jian, IEEE Fellow, ACM Distinguished Scientist, CIE Fellow, and General Manager of Midea AI Innovation Center.
XIAOWEI is able to access smart home appliances and IoT devices; for example, when XIAOWEI detects a family member is coming home, it can turn on the lights and air conditioner in advance to set a comfortable temperature and humidity for their arrival.
XIAOWEI is able to identify family members through the use of face and body tracking technology, making the versatile robot a reliable AI housekeeper that can also deliver effective all-around security. you can direct the robot to visit every corner of the house to keep an eye on happenings and to help deliver household items, remote monitoring and safety patrol.
It's worth noting that XIAOWEI is also an excellent playmate; utilizing its built-in projector and other advanced technologies it's able to create a mobile theater, entertainment center, and interactive play area at home to keep the entire family amused.
XIAOWEI robot is able to scan the home in all directions through its built-in 3D camera, perform autonomous exploration and mapping, identify object attributes, and compile semantic information through its 3D Semantic mapping. For example, through this technology, the robot XIAOWEI knows which is the sofa and where the sofa is, and then you tell him "go to the sofa", and XIAOWEI will go to the sofa by himself using its navigation functions by responding to a voice command.
"Looking to the future, the household robot brings multiple possibilities." Dr. Tang Jian highlighted that household robots, just like smartphones and new energy vehicles, are already changing people's lifestyles and will become a basic must-have for families.

Complicated picture emerges of Orlando nightclub shooter
ORLANDO, Fla. - A complicated picture has emerged of 29-year-old Omar Mateen, who opened fire in a gay Orlando nightclub. The attack left 49 dead and dozens more wounded in the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
___
CONFLICT WITH SEXUALITY?
While many have condemned the attack as a hate crime against the gay community, and his own father suggested Mateen may have acted out of anti-gay hatred, reports have surfaced that Mateen himself was a regular there.
"He was trying to pick up people. Men," Jim Van Horn, 71, told The Associated Press. "He would walk up to them and then he would maybe put his arm around them or something and maybe try to get them to dance. ... and buy a drink .... That's what people do at gay bars."
The FBI is investigating reports that Mateen was a Pulse regular and had used gay dating apps, according to a U.S. official who had been briefed on the investigation but wasn't authorized to discuss it publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Asked Tuesday whether his son was gay, Mateen's father, Seddique Mateen, replied: 'No. No"
Trending News
___
BORN IN AMERICA
The son of Afghan immigrants, Mateen spent most of his childhood on Florida's Atlantic coast and lived there as an adult, not far from his parents. Born in the New York City borough of Queens in 1986, he moved with his family to the Long Island town of Westbury two years later and then in 1991 to Port Saint Lucie, Florida, about 125 miles southeast of Orlando.
___
JOBS
Like many young men, Mateen worked a series of unremarkable jobs after high school. He eventually found stability as a security guard in South Florida. He still held the job when he attacked the nightclub and was killed.
___
CO-WORKER TENSION?
A one-time co-worker with security company G4S remembered Mateen as an angry man who used slurs for gay people, blacks, Jews and women, and threatened violence.
Daniel Gilroy said Mateen badgered him and sending him dozens of text messages daily, and that he reported Mateen's behavior to his bosses.
"I kind of feel a little guilty that I didn't fight harder," Gilroy said. "If I didn't walk away and I fought, then maybe 50 people would still be alive today."
Gilroy told The New York Times that Mateen "talked about killing people all the time." Of the massacre, Gilroy said, "I saw it coming."
___
UNSUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE
An early marriage faltered. Mateen's ex-wife, Sitora Yusufiy, told reporters she believed he suffered from mental illness. Yusiufiy said she was with Mateen for only four months because he was abusive. They divorced two years after their 2009 marriage.
Asked during a CNN interview whether she thinks her ex-husband was gay, Yusufiy said: "I don't know. He never personally or physically made any indications while we were together of that. But he did feel very strongly about homosexuality." She said he acknowledged enjoying clubs and nightlife and that it's possible he hid feelings about being gay.
___
MARRIED AGAIN
It's unclear when Mateen married his second wife, Noor Salman, but an Aug. 30, 2013, property deed in Saint Lucie County identified them as a married couple. Family members said the pair had a young son about 3 years old.
FBI Director James Comey said the agency was trying to determine whether Mateen had recently scouted Disney World as a potential target, as reported by People.com, which cited an unidentified federal law enforcement source. The report said he visited with his wife.
___
FBI SCRUTINY
The FBI became aware of Mateen in 2013 when co-workers reported that he claimed to have family connections to al-Qaida and to be a member of Hezbollah, too, FBI Director James Comey said. The agency conducted a 10-month preliminary investigation, following Mateen, reviewing his communications and questioning him, the FBI chief said. Mateen claimed he made the remarks in anger because co-workers were teasing him and discriminating against him as a Muslim. The FBI eventually closed the case, Comey said.
His name surfaced again as part of another investigation into a suicide bomber from the Syrian rebel group Nusra Front. The FBI found Mateen and the man had attended the same mosque and knew each other casually, but the investigation turned up "no ties of any consequence," Comey said.
___
HIS GUNS
Mateen bought at least two firearms legally within a week or so before the attack, according to Trevor Velinor of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
He bought them at the St. Lucie Shooting Center. Store owner Ed Henson said Mateen passed a full background check and that if he hadn't bought the guns there, he would've gone somewhere else. Henson said he's sorry this "evil person" bought the guns from his business.
___
HIS APARTMENT
Univision News reported that it entered the unlocked home of Mateen and his wife in Fort Pierce after the FBI swept for evidence. Family photos, drawings, blackboard messages, a Quran and books on Islam decorate the apartment. On the living room table was a document listing items investigators removed: 9 mm cartridges, an iPad mini, a Samsung phone, a Dell computer, a CD labeled with Mateen's name.

14.6 overs (1 Run) A single to end the over! Short one on middle. Pant pulls it behind square on the leg side for a single.
14.5 overs (1 Run) This is banged in a bit short and over middle. Shreyas Iyer pulls it down to wide long for a single.
14.4 overs (0 Run) On a length and on off. Iyer steps across and tucks it to mid-wicket.
14.3 overs (1 Run) Length and a fair bit outside off, Pant hangs back and cuts it towards deep backward point for a run.
14.2 overs (1 Run) Length and on off, pushed to long on for a single.
14.1 overs (1 Run) Full and on middle. Pant flicks it in front of square leg for a single.
13.6 overs (0 Run) This is on a length and on off. Iyer tries to block it but the ball goes off the gloves and lobs over to backward point. 8 runs off the over.
13.6 overs (1 Run) Wide! Short but down the leg side. Iyer misses his pull.
13.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Good shot! Shreyas Iyer shuffles in his crease and Rabada bangs a bouncer on middle. Iyer slaps it uppishly and over mid off for a boundary. Shreyas Iyer doesn't love to hang in his crease. He is always busy.
13.4 overs (0 Run) A length ball, outside off at 137 clicks. Iyer steps across and looks to push but misses.
13.3 overs (1 Run) Rishabh Pant is underway with an inside edge. Length again, angled across the left-hander. Pant looks to drive away from the body but gets an inside edge past the leg stump. The ball goes towards fine leg and they get a single.
13.2 overs (1 Run) Uppish but safe! Length again, on off. Shreyas Iyer hangs deep and plays a checked lofted on-drive that goes on the bounce to the fielder at wide long on. Single taken.
13.2 overs (1 Run) WIDE! An attempted slower down, on a length and down the leg side. Wided.
13.1 overs (0 Run) A comedy of errors! South Africa have missed a run out chance though! Length and on middle. Iyer hops and bloks it on the right side of the bowler. Pant is on his way for a quick run but is sent back off the halfway mark. Rabada comes across and gets across to Pant. Tristan Stubbs meanwhile, runs across and has an easy throw to give at the bowler's end but instead goes for the over-arm throw and lobs it over Keshav Maharaj who was waiting to just whip off the stumps. A chance goes begging.
The skipper, Rishabh Pant is in at number 4. Also, Kagiso Rabada is brought back into the attack.
12.6 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! 20 runs of the over but Keshav Maharaj has the last laugh! A much much needed breakthrough for South Africa as Ishan Kishan was changing the gears at a quick rate. Maharaj serves another full ball, on leg. Kishan gets low but not quite underneath the ball. He still goes with the swing and Tristan Stubbs at long on takes it.
12.5 overs (0 Run) Not out it is! Brilliant review from Ishan Kishan! Keshav Maharaj serves a very full ball, angling down leg. Kishan fails to fend it away and gets hit on the toes. A huge appeal for LBW and up goes the finger! Ishan Kishan takes the review. UltraEdge shows a spike and the decision has been changed.
12.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! 20 already of the over! Floated ball, outside off. Kishan hangs on the back foot and muscles it to long off for a boundary.
12.3 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! This is pure power! Flatter, quicker and around off. Kishan rocks back and thumps it to long on for a boundary.
12.2 overs (6 Runs) SIX! AND AGAIN! Maharaj drags his length back but Kishan is in mood right now. He gets back and pulls it over square leg for yet another maximum.
12.1 overs (6 Runs) SIX! DISPATCHED! Spinners are going for runs! Too many runs, precisely! Tossed up, on off. Kishan gets low and slogs it over mid-wicket for a biggie.
11.6 overs (1 Run) That will sting late...Pretorius! Full and outside off. Kishan gets low and smashes it straight back to Dwaine Pretorius who gets his leg out and stops it. The ball deflects it to mid-wicket. A single.
11.5 overs (1 Run) Full and on middle, Iyer forces it to long off for a single.
11.4 overs (1 Run) A slower ball, on a length and on middle. Kishan skips down and tries to clear long off but fails to power and the man there collects it on a bounce. A single.
11.3 overs (1 Run) On a length and on middle. Iyer shuffles across and pushes it to deep mid-wicket for a run.
11.2 overs (1 Run) Full and outside off. Kishan works it to backward point for a single.
11.1 overs (0 Run) Outside off. Kishan fails to cut.
Dwaine Pretorius (1-0-12-0) is back on.
10.6 overs (1 Run) In the air...safe! Kishan again goes for the slog-sweep to this full ball but does not time it well. The ball goes high in the night sky and towards the mid on region. Three fielders converge towards the ball but can't get to it. Single taken.
10.5 overs (6 Runs) SIX! FIFTY FOR KISHAN! His 3rd fifty in T20I! Full and in the slot, on middle. Kishan steps down and slog-sweeps with the spin, all the way over mid-wicket for a biggie. The 50-stand is also up.
10.4 overs (1 Run) On middle, worked to deep mid-wicket for a single.
10.3 overs (0 Run) CHANCE! What a chance for Quinton de Kock but he makes a mess of it. This is short and on middle, spinning away. Iyer comes down the track and looks to defend but the spin takes away and Quinton de Kock fumbles to collect it cleanly, giving a chance to Iyer to get back with a dive.
10.2 overs (1 Run) Shorter but does not bounce much. Kishan goes through his pull shot to deep mid-wicket for a single.
10.1 overs (1 Run) Flatter and on middle, flicked to deep mid-wicket for one. | https://sports.ndtv.com/india-vs-south-africa-2022/india-vs-south-africa-live-score-over-1st-t20i-t20-11-15-updates-3053337 | 2022-06-09T14:59:58Z | https://sports.ndtv.com/india-vs-south-africa-2022/india-vs-south-africa-live-score-over-1st-t20i-t20-11-15-updates-3053337 | true | 1 |
Grantham photographer climbs four peaks in less than two days for Don't Lose Hope Bourne
More news, no ads
LEARN MOREA photographer and two friends climbed four peaks in less than 48 hours this week to raise money for a mental health charity.
Toby Roberts took on a challenge of climbing four peaks, including the tallest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales, as well as The Cheviot, an extinct volcano in Northumberland.
He did this for Don't Lose Hope in Bourne, an organisation that supports people in the community, with over £3,700 raised so far.
Joined by Don't Lose Hope's Dom Brister, and Chris Meads, the trio scaled the four peaks in rapid time, climbing for a total of 19 hours and 15 minutes.
Beginning on Monday at 3.45am, the three of them scaled The Cheviot in under two hours, finishing by 7am after completing 17,548 steps.
Next up for the trio was Ben Nevis in Scotland, the tallest mountain the UK. They began their climb at 1pm and reached the summit just over four hours later.
Over 33,000 steps later and the group were back at the bottom by 8.45pm.
By 5am the next day, they had arrived in the Lake District to take on Scafell Pike, getting up and down the mountain in four and a half hours.
Last on the list was Snowden in Wales. The group began their climb at 3.15pm and had reached their fourth and final summit just over two hours later.
The trio were back at ground level by 7pm, having racked up a total step count of 106,173.
Toby said: “I knew it would be a hard challenge, but I had no idea just how hard!
"There were points I thought it was too much, but we all stuck together and made it to the end.”

10-year-old’s mission to rescue dogs earns him a TV show
UPDATED: Wed., June 8, 2022
Roman McConn poses with Roscoe, 4-year-old lab mix, at the Burke County Animal Shelter in Georgia on May 28. Roman doesn’t choose the cutest puppies to profile in his show. Instead he picks dogs that might be passed over and highlights their good qualities. MUST CREDIT: Family photo (Family photo/Family photo)
Asher is a three-legged shepherd who loves splashing in water bowls and chewing on tree branches. Miss Kitty is a black Chihuahua mix who races around the yard at the speed of a cheetah. Layla, who is part pit bull, prefers licking human faces to chasing tennis balls.
All three shelter dogs have different personalities, but they have one thing – or, more specifically, one person – in common: Roman McConn. The 10-year-old helped them find their forever “kid” on his new Disney XD series, “Roman to the Rescue.”
“I just love working with dogs,” said the rising sixth-grader who lives in Georgia with his mom, dad, four dogs and various fostered animals. “I want to give them a second chance.”
Roman was 4 years old and living in Texas when he learned about the tragic fate of some shelter dogs. During a trip to a pet store, he saw dogs in crates waiting to be adopted. His parents explained to him that, because of overcrowding at shelters, the animals that could not find families quickly enough were at risk of being “put down,” or euthanized. That means they are given medicine that quickly kills them. This heartbreaking reality motivated Roman to act.
“I dove in head first,” he said of his new mission to find every shelter dog in the United States a home.
To accomplish his goal, Roman creates playful videos of individual dogs at local shelters, which his mom shares on social media. When choosing his stars, he doesn’t look for the pups with the fluffiest fur or floppiest ears. He spotlights the underdogs.
“We pick ones that have been there the longest and have the saddest story and are less likely to get adopted, like pit bulls, labs and other big dogs,” said Roman, who hosted a YouTube show about rescues on the Dodo Kids network when he was 8 years old.
About a year after Roman started making the videos, he and his mom founded Project Freedom Ride. The nonprofit organization transports unwanted dogs from Texas, where their survival rate is often low, to northern states, where their chances of adoption are higher. Since 2016, Project Freedom Ride has saved more than 4,200 dogs, including the 17 that appear on “Roman to the Rescue.” (The network released the first seven episodes in February; the other 10 will become available this summer.)
“Roman has had a positive impact on the lives of thousands of animals for over half his life,” said YuJung Kim, group publisher at the Dodo, which produces the series for Disney. “While being just a normal kid at the end of the day – he loves Legos, ‘Star Wars’ and playing with his friends – Roman shows us that it’s possible to channel a passion for animals into meaningful change at any age.”
In each episode, Roman focuses on one dog. First, he determines the pup’s character (athletic, shy or clingy) and favorite activities (belly rubs, swimming or giving kisses). Then he tosses around filmmaking ideas with a creative team of young celebrities, such as Issac Ryan Brown from “Raven’s Home.”
After the video is posted, Roman and Aziza Glass, a veterinarian, sort through the applications and select the best kid for that dog. Before handing the pooch over to its new family, he gives his four-legged friend a final cuddle – a bittersweet experience.
“I feel so happy when the dog gets adopted,” he said, “but sometimes it’s so hard to let the dog go.” However, there was one he was eager to bid farewell to: a terrier named Honey who, Roman said, “would stare at you and poop.”

A data management platform (DMP) is a group of tools designed to help organizations collect and manage data from a wide array of sources and to create reports that help explain what is happening in those data streams. Deploying a DMP can be a great way for companies to navigate a business world dominated by data.
The name “data management platform” can be confusing because it comes across as a generalized product that works with all forms of data for all types of data scientists. Lately, however, the term has been adopted by marketing teams, and many of the data management platforms vendors currently offer are tuned to their needs. In these instances, data feeds come largely from various advertising channels, and the reports they generate are designed to help marketers spend wisely.
This market shift is emerging because modern, data-driven marketing teams must navigate a web of connected data sources and formats, including ad marketplaces that dump statistics about audience engagement and click-through rates, sales software systems that report on customer purchases, and websites — and even storeroom floors — that track engagement. All this data arrives by the terabyte, and a data management platform can help marketers make sense of it all.
Marketing-focused or not, DMPs excel at negotiating with a wide array of databases, data lakes, or data warehouses, ingesting their streams of data and then cleaning, sorting, and unifying the information therein. Some are general tools that can be used for any job where data may be gathered, including scientific labs, manufacturing plants, or government offices, as well as sales divisions. Others are more focused on serving marketing teams, offering many common integrations to ad platforms out of the box.
Some DMPs specialize in producing reports with elaborate infographics. Others aim simply to manage the collection and integration of data, leaving the analysis and presentation work to other tools that specialize in data science and statistics.
Some major advertising platforms offer DMPs that house elaborate tools for squeezing the best performance out of their channels.
Lately a cousin of DMP has evolved, called the customer data platform (CDP). These tools are designed to track individual customers, often using third-party data sources for identifying individuals viewing ads or visiting websites. These may use personally identifiable information and create profiles to track potential customers through the sales funnel.
Some vendors and industry observers make the distinction between CDPs and DMPs by suggesting that CDPs focus on following individuals whereas DMPs provide more general and anonymous answers about market segments or large blocks of potential customers. Others believe that this distinction is disappearing and that platforms should be able to answer both types of questions.
Here are some of the best data management platforms available today, arranged in alphabetical order. Many are focused on delivering the best returns for marketing teams but some are more general tools that can handle any data science task.
Adobe Audience Manager
Any company relying on Adobe and its various advertising platforms, such as the Experience Cloud, can also use its Audience management software to gain up-to-the-minute insights into how various ads or promotions are performing. The deep integration begins with first-party sources, including storefronts, CMS-based web channels, or email campaigns, and moves on to second- and third-party sources from Adobe and others.
BidTheatre
Advertisers and their agencies can use what BidTheatre calls a “demand side platform,” a fun name for a system that enables organizations to build and then distribute banner, video, and native ads through their own CDN. The reports BidTheatre generates compares the channels to provide data-driven insight into performance. It’s an integrated solution that both nurtures the creation of the ads and watches their performance.
Google Audience Center
Anyone targeting Google, YouTube, or its ad networks can use Google Audience Center to track performance of the various ads in all of the channels. The reporting capabilities enable users to drill down into individual numbers for greater insight using the Analytics 360 platform. They’ve also integrated the tool with Studio, their portal for creating new advertising campaigns.
Lotame
The goal for the Lotame data management platform is to track marketing performance in the face of increasing concerns for privacy and cookie usage. Lotame’s platform absorbs first-party data and merges it with other background information from second and third parties. Its Panorama identity management system tags and tracks location and activity around the world. Lotame also runs a marketplace that matches buyers and sellers of digital audiences so companies can build relationships that lead to sales.
Microsoft Customer Insights and Marketing
Dynamics 365 is a large collection of business intelligence products from Microsoft, and two parts, Customer Insights and Marketing, can deliver much of the marketing intelligence found in a CDP and a DMP. It will connect with a wide selection of first-, second-, and third-party data sources, inlcuding the major advertising platforms, to track potential customers and can merge this information to deliver a continuous, end-to-end experience that’s often customized for individual buyers. Microsoft also leverages much of its deep experience with AI to improve targeting and classification in these tools.
OnAudience
Advertisers use OnAudience to build an understanding of their audience from data collected from multiple sources. The GDPR- and CCPA-compliant tool creates custom segments based on shared demographics, interests, and demonstrated intents or purchase plans. This precise process creates opportunities for marketing directly to those with similar needs. OnAudience also maintains a readymade set of audience segments, such as “design lovers” or “summer sports fans,” to help get you started.
Oracle Advertising and Customer Experience
Oracle’s entry has been growing over the years as the company merges together technology from BlueKai, Moat, AddThis, and other Oracle products. What began as a relatively simple data management tool has grown to be a portal for tracking the performance of digital advertising across channels. So Oracle renamed it Oracle Advertising and Customer Experience. It integrates data across a wide arrange of sources to help optimize the value of ad dollar spending.
Pega
Pega builds a low-code platform for designing and executing digital marketing campaigns. Its cloud-hosted tool manages customer communications to deliver the right messages at times when they can be absorbed. The platform enables your team to customize a sales workflow and analyze which steps are delivering the best return. Background tasks such as order management can be delegated to robotic process automation tools to simplify life for customers and the fulfillment team.
Permutive
The DMP from Permutive is designed to be ready for the shift in ad tracking as rules abouprivacy grow stronger. Its platform supports both publishers and advertisers so both can understand which creative work delivers the best results. Publishers find a privacy-safe way to deliver first-party information to advertisers while advertisers get the information they need to track performance across all of the publishing platforms in the open web.
Roku OneView
The brand name may be more familiar as a streaming video device manufacturer, but Roku also places ads. The company brought Dataxu under the brand umbrella and dubbed it OneView. Now advertisers can use the data management platform to track how their campaigns are performing. The system uses access to the streaming services identity information to track users across multiple devices in one coordinated reporting mechanism.
SAS Data Management
The Data Management tool from SAS is designed to be heavily integrated with many data sources, be they data lakes, data pipes such as Hadoop, data fabrics, or mere databases. Its Integrated Process Designer is a visual tool to create data flows that integrate data to produce concise reports. Along the way, metadata is collected, organized, and maintained to help debug and ensure data integrity.
Simpli.fi
Agencies and ad buyers for large clients turn to Simpli.fi for a workflow management tool that unifies purchasing and tracking across media. The platform is integrated across digital venues such as search and social media and older markets such as print, cable TV, radio, and broadcast. The goal is to make it simpler for larger advertisers to launch and coordinate large campaigns across multiple media channels. The platform also juggles invoicing and payment to keep accounting software coordinated with ad buying.
Snowflake
This general platform wants to be a data warehouse and data lake for any general data stream. The company offers the service to a broad range of companies from the financial sector to manufacturing to retail. Of course, marketing also works. Snowflake also maintains a large data marketplace where third parties sell the data that can fill out your reports.
Survey CTO
One common way to test market sentiment is to gather information directly from customers. Survey CTO is a platform that organizes and automates many of the details for distributing questionnaires and collecting their responses. These may be online or offline through devices like tablets or smartphones. Once the data is collected, the system can produce reports and infographics or share the data with other tools such as Zapier, Stata, or SPSS.
TruAudience
TransUnion, the credit scoring company, also runs TruAudience (formerly Signal) to help marketing teams unlock their “identity resolution capabilities.” The product merges this data with the information it gathers from third parties such as streaming audio or video providers. The goal is to create various “audiences” defined by particular characteristics or habits and then target them across multiple platforms. | https://www.cio.com/article/400684/top-15-data-management-platforms.html | 2022-06-09T15:07:49Z | https://www.cio.com/article/400684/top-15-data-management-platforms.html | true | 1 |
Witness threatened
Statements that a woman witness had been threatened and was afraid to come to the court were made by Sergeant Caban, police prosecutor, at the Central Police Court yesterday. The case was one in which John Reidy, 43, a dealer, was charged with having maliciously wounded Elizabeth Jones on May 7 and with having attempted to commit suicide on the same date. Sergeant Caban said that a woman witness was not in court.
The long ride
Mrs McDermid, a well-known rider at the Royal Show, will set out to ride on horseback from Sydney to Brisbane, accompanied by her daughter, Peggy, aged 10, and her son, Colin, aged 8. Mrs McDermid will take four horses with her, and expects to complete the journey within two months. The trip is primarily intended to direct attention to the revival of the use of the horse. She will depart from the Sydney Town Hall at noon to-day.
Sentimental welcome
The Lord Mayor of Sydney, Alderman S. R. Walder, accorded Messrs C. J. Dennis, author of The Sentimental Bloke, and Mr. F. W. Thring, who has made a talkie film of the subject, a civic welcome at Sydney Town Hall yesterday. The Lord Mayor said that all good Australians knew something of Mr. Dennis’s creation, The Sentimental Bloke. He believed a copy was a cherished possession in almost every home. | https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/nsw/in-the-herald-june-10-1932-20220530-p5apmk.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | 2022-06-09T15:08:05Z | https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/nsw/in-the-herald-june-10-1932-20220530-p5apmk.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | true | 9 |
(NEXSTAR) – As health departments around the country start to report cases of monkeypox, some are getting flashbacks to early 2020 before the coronavirus spread like wildfire. With more than 30 cases across 13 states, will the virus start a new pandemic?
Key differences between the viruses make that unlikely. In a media briefing Tuesday, Dr. Tom Inglesby, director of The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, outlined some of those differences.
While monkeypox can spread through respiratory droplets, Inglesby explained, evidence suggests spread is happening through close contact.
“It’s not spreading across a room or greater distance,” Inglesby said. In addition to respiratory droplets at close range, the virus can also be spread through bodily contact, or through contact with someone’s bedding or clothing, he said.
Monkeypox does pose a serious danger to those who get it. It results in death for as many as 10% of people who contract it in Africa, where the virus is endemic, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, the way it spreads can make it easier to control outbreaks.
“It is not acting in a way like a disease that spreads through respiratory droplets or airborne dominantly does,” Inglesby said. “So it’s not acting like influenza or covid or chickenpox or measles – things that spread quickly in an unvaccinated community. It is acting more like a disease that is spreading by close contact.”
We also have a vaccine that works against the virus, the smallpox vaccine.
“If we all react quickly and we all work together, we will be able to stop this,” said the World Health Organization’s Dr. Rosamund Lewis. “We will be able to stop it before it reaches more vulnerable people and before it establishes itself as a replacement for smallpox.”
“It’s really important to do everything we can to try and control it,” Inglesby agreed, “but we’re not going to see the same kinds of early numbers we did as COVID because it’s spreading in different ways.”

Michelin-starred chef and restaurateur brings Australia's fastest growing private chef and catering platform to the US
LOS ANGELES, June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fronted by Michelin-starred Aussie chef and LA-based restaurateur Curtis Stone as US co-founder, Gathar is a private chef and catering platform offering one-of-a-kind dining experiences where highly skilled chefs come to you. Perfect for date nights, dinner parties, corporate events, weddings, and more, Gathar, which has already taken off in Australia, now lands in the United States, kicking off first in the Los Angeles market with plans to expand across California and other US locations in the coming months.
How it works is simple. Customers of Gathar simply choose or create their desired menu and the Culinarian (cook, chef, or caterer) arrives with everything needed to cook, serve, and clean up afterwards. A dedicated Gathar concierge takes care of every delicious detail from start to finish, so all hosts need to do is handle the invites.
For those thinking the private chef experience is an unattainable luxury, Gathar is a game-changer making once-in-a-lifetime meals and experiences available on demand with charcuterie tables and appetizer packages starting from $50 per person, and sit-down menus from $150 per person.
"What differentiates Gathar from any competitors in the marketplace is the quality. We go through painstaking detail to vet and select the best chefs, who source only fresh, local ingredients to deliver a truly 5-star restaurant experience anywhere and anytime you want it," said Stone.
Gathar was founded in Australia in 2018 by a passionate team of foodies from tech, marketing, and hospitality backgrounds. Led by Gathar CEO and Co-founder, Jodie Mlikota, the company's vision is to be the number one global destination to book amazing private culinary experiences.
Gathar's US expansion comes on the back of the startup securing $AUD 1 million in post-seed funding led by investment firm ACAC Innovation, alongside new investors including Up Bank co-founder, Dominic Pym. After the company firmly establishes its foothold in Los Angeles, other US locations will quickly follow.
"As a result of the Covid pandemic, many Americans have discovered the freedom of working from home – and they like it. With Gathar, they can now enjoy on-demand, at home fine dining, as well!" explained Jodie Mlikota. "Gathar also delivers a new avenue of income for chefs, many of whom have been displaced because of Covid. We're certainly not trying to replace the restaurant experience, only to complement it, and to offer something different and unique – and based on our success in Australia, we're confident Los Angeles is in for a treat!"
Gathar is on a mission to change the way the world gathers by creating amazing dining experiences wherever you are. Gathar takes the hard work out of entertaining, seamlessly connecting those who love to cook with those who love to entertain (but don't love the hard work that comes with it!), giving you more time to enjoy the good times. Gathar was founded in 2018 by a passionate team of foodies from tech, marketing, and hospitality backgrounds. Our vision is to be the number one global destination to book amazing culinary experiences. For more information, please visit: www.gathar.com or via Instagram or LinkedIn

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb plans to return $1 billion of funds to Hoosier taxpayers thanks to a fiscal year with higher-than-expected revenue.
In a news release Thursday, Holcomb's office said each Indiana taxpayer would receive about $225 on top of the $125 already coming from the automatic taxpayer refund (ATR). Together, each individual would receive about $350, and married couples filing jointly would receive about $700.
"Hoosiers have real needs right now during this period of high inflation, from the gas pump to buying groceries, and everyone should benefit from the state’s success," Holcomb said in a news release. "I’ve met with Speaker Huston and Senator Bray and have asked them to discuss getting a billion dollars back into Hoosier hands with their colleagues. "I’ve committed to work with them to call a special session before the end of June to take action to align this second round of returns with our current ATR."
For 11 months of the last fiscal year, Holcomb's office said revenue came in $1.075 billion above the forecasted total.
The money would go to Hoosiers the same as the annual ATR payments — bank account or paper check.

CLEVELAND, June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Like many other industries, the global pumps market was affected by supply chain disruptions associated with the pandemic. A new Freedonia Group analysis finds that supply shortages and rising raw materials prices led to pump suppliers hiking prices, which contributed to very strong sales growth in value terms as markets began to recover in 2021.
While the pumps market achieved double-digit growth in 2021, even faster gains were prevented by difficulties meeting orders. Many firms reported order intake well in excess of revenues as they struggled to keep up with demand. Supply chain issues are expected to persist through 2022, with China's attempts to implement zero-COVID policies leading to ongoing disruption in manufacturing and logistics. Those firms that are able to cut through these issues and provide timely deliveries will have significant opportunities for sales.
While the global pumps market includes a variety of general-purpose products, much of the market consists of relatively specialized products that are mainly used in a particular target market. As a result, firms in the industry vary greatly in their level of exposure to different markets. Most of the global pumps market leaders pursue a strategy of market diversification and make pumps for a wide variety of applications. However, the industry includes a number of firms that have chosen to heavily emphasize the oil and gas market, and these companies underperformed in 2020 as the global oil and gas industry contracted. Market losses have contributed to further consolidation, as companies that participated in oil and gas as a non-primary market (e.g., Weir Group) reduced their participation.
For more information about solar pumps and the global pump industry in general, see Global Pumps, now available from The Freedonia Group. This study presents historical data (2011, 2016, and 2021) and forecasts for 2022, 2026 and 2031 for demand in the global fluid handling pumps industry by product and market in US dollars.
Products:
- Centrifugal
- positive displacement (rotary, reciprocating, diaphragm)
- specialty and other pumps, which includes pumps with designs that are uniquely specialized for specific applications, such as domestic water system pumps, turbine, drilling mud pumps, sump pumps, beverage service pumps, microfluidic laboratory pumps, and others
- associated drivers, parts, and accessories
Pump demand is also segmented by market:
- process manufacturing
- water infrastructure
- construction
- oil and gas
- electricity generation
- other, which includes healthcare, marine, mining, and other manufacturing industries

It looks like developer Playground Games has once again teamed up with one of our favourite toy brands to bring us Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels DLC, at least if the latest leak is anything to go by. This would be the first expansion for the best racing game and the second time the two companies have come together in a gravity-defying collaboration.
The Forza Horizon 5 DLC first appeared online as half of a banner image on Steam, showing off the iconic windy tracks we’ve come to expect from Hot Wheels. It’s still live at the time of writing, but Wario64 has immortalised the slip of the finger in a screenshot just in case it gets taken down.
Currently, details are a little thin on the ground. It’ll presumably debut at Summer Game Fest beginning June 9, but we’re not yet sure of a release date. We do know the price, though, as it’ll be one half of the Forza Horizon 5 Expansions Bundle for $34.99 / £26.99. Alternatively, you can nab the DLC as a part of the Forza Horizon 5 Premium Add-ons Bundle on Steam for $47.66 / £37.59, complete with the VIP pass, Welcome Pack, Car Pass, and Expansions Bundle.
From the looks of the image, the expansion will likely follow in the footsteps of the fan favourite Forza Horizon 3 Hot Wheels DLC, which you can see in action below. Simply trade out the sandy Southern Australia backdrop for the sun-kissed Mexico countryside.
Keep your eyes peeled for the announcement during Summer Game Fest. Our bet is on June 12 when the Microsoft and Bethesda showcase kicks off. Check out the best steering wheel in the meantime, as you’ll want to prepare for this joyride. | https://www.pcgamesn.com/forza-horizon-5/hot-weels-dlc-leak | 2022-06-09T15:16:47Z | https://www.pcgamesn.com/forza-horizon-5/hot-weels-dlc-leak | true | 1 |
A mother-daughter duo, who moved the Karnataka High Court with a petition seeking quashing of a First Information Report and case pending in a Magistrate court have been fined Rs one lakh for concealing facts about it.
The two had filed the petition through a general power-of-attorney (GPA) contending that they were in the United Kingdom and could not travel due to COVID restrictions at the time.
However, they had suppressed the fact that they had returned to India and even travelled to Bengaluru to obtain bail from the Magistrate court. The complainant in the case is Syed Ali Hindustani, from Bengaluru who married Samantha Christina Delfina Willis on June 6, 2021.
It is alleged that the wife left him within five days of marriage to her parents' home in Kolkata with all the jewels belonging to the husband’s mother allegedly for a photo shoot. She along with her mother Shakila Willis then flew to the UK. They returned in November 2021 seeking annulment of the marriage.
It is alleged that while in the UK, they forced Hindustani to part with Rs 7.5 crore to buy a property. Based on the husband's complaint a case was registered for cheating, criminal intimidation and other charges.
The mother and daughter obtained bail from the Magistrate and then approached the High Court for quashing of the case. Dismissing their petition, the HC said, "If there is no candid disclosure of relevant and material facts or the petitioners are guilty of misleading the Court, the petition is to be dismissed at the threshold without considering the merit of the claim."
The cost has to be paid to the High Court Legal Services Authority within four weeks the court ordered, observing that, "There can be no doubt that the petitioners are guilty of approaching this Court with unclean hands and such petitions should be thrown to the winds by imposition of exemplary costs."
The Court did not consider the merits of the case as it held that filing a writ petition in amalgamation with Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking quashing of the case in the lower court was not even maintainable.
Such a petition was filed through a GPA holder who was not even aware of the facts of the case, the court said. Secondly, the petition suffered from suppression of material facts entailing its dismissal.
Due to these two points, the "merits of the matter need not be gone into, as both the points act as a threshold bar for entertaining the petition and the doors of this Court cannot be considered to be open or even ajar to the petitioners, but they are closed."

Missing baby found alive more than 40 years after parents found killed in woods
HOUSTON (Gray News) – A baby girl who went missing in 1981 after her parents were found dead in a wooded area of Houston, Texas has been located alive and well, according to the Texas Attorney General’s Office.
Investigators were unable to identify the couple when they were discovered, almost two months after they were killed.
In 2021, Identifinders International used genetic genealogy to positively identify them as Tina Gail Linn Clouse and Harold Dean Clouse Jr., a couple from Florida.
They had an infant daughter named Holly Marie who was not found with the remains of the Clouses.
Officials say Baby Holly, who is now 42 years old, has been found. She’s been notified of the identities of her biological parents and has been in contact with her extended biological family.
“We are thrilled that Holly will now have the chance to connect with her biological family who has been searching for her for so long,” said John Bischoff, vice president of the Missing Children Division at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
“We hope that this is source of encouragement for other families who have missing loved ones and reminds us all to never give up.”
According to NCMEC, Holly hopes to meet her biological family in person soon.
“Although she realizes that so many people are interested in hearing more about her and her story, she is asking for privacy at this time,” the NCMEC wrote.
No other information was released on the circumstances of Holly’s disappearance.
The Linn and Clouse families have been looking for answers as to what happened to her and the deaths of the Clouses.
The investigation into the couple’s killings is ongoing.
According to KWTX, police said Harold was beaten, bound and gagged. His wife was found strangled.
The Texas Attorney General’s Office Cold Case and Missing Persons Unit collaborated with several agencies in different states to find Holly.

Newswise — Kyoto, Japan -- Being odd can be a good thing, particularly when you are a microscopic cellular organism trying to go places.
Swimming may be the first form of motility that emerged on Earth. The act of swimming for tiny animals, however, is not necessarily easy. Macroswimmers such as scallops even have a theorem named after them which prohibits reciprocal swimming in the microscale.
In other words, theory says that microscopic scallops shouldn't be able to swim at all. Here scallops are used as an analogy to help describe a single-hinged object.
KyotoU researchers have now discovered a new formula for swimming based on their study of odd elasticity, or non-reciprocating behavior by microswimmers. The scientists began their study by running computer models of swimmers.
"Our first model swam unexpectedly well and with beautiful self-generated strokes," explains author Clément Moreau.
Microrobots are making headlines for their potential to safely deliver drugs or perform non-intrusive surgery. But while these move according to pre-programmed instructions, Moreau and his team's microswimmers are autonomous. Their underlying technology is based on odd elasticity, which exhibits self-oscillations of active materials.
KyotoU scientists from varied backgrounds together envisioned a simple model of self-propelled materials. Using computer simulations combining fluid dynamics, mathematics, and statistical physics, microswimming behavior was observed to demonstrate autonomously directional and deterministic motion by an odd-elastic filament.
The team used Purcell's swimmer model -- considered a minimal model of microswimming with two degrees of freedom -- to study efficiency, stability, control, and other aspects of biological swimmers and artificial robots. This three-link model consists of three slender rods of specific lengths connected by two hinges.
Further, the researchers found a new mathematical swimming formula, demonstrating that any odd elastic micromaterial can spontaneously generate locomotion in a fluid, creating directional motion from random fluctuations.
The team's next goal is to quantitatively estimate the value of odd elasticity of actual active materials including biological cells, chemically active enzymes, and synthetic microrobots.
"We believe that our research on odd elasticity is helping to bridge classical descriptions of automated microswimmers with our new autonomous-motion model," concludes Moreau.
###
The paper "Self-organized swimming with odd elasticity" appeared 6 June 2022 in Physical Review E , with doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.105.064603

We all know it’s important to stay hydrated. Keeping up with your water intake helps every system in your body — from the cellular level on up.
Your body weight is 50-70% water, after all, and proper hydration just keeps everything running smoothly. So if you’re trying to make changes for your health, drinking more H2O is a great place to start.
The trouble is, water is kind of boring. With all the other beverage choices we have, from elaborate coffee drinks and sugar-loaded sodas to fancy fruit juices, plain old water can easily fall by the wayside.
And that’s why “motivational” water bottles are a thing. There are lots of different styles, but they all work by keeping tabs on your water intake throughout the day.
According to Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, women should shoot for about 11 cups (2.6 liters) per day; men’s goal should be 16 cups (about 3.8 liters). That’s a lot of sips! A motivational water bottle helps you track what you’ve already ingested each day, and peps you up to drink your recommended amount.
Here are a couple of motivational Amazon finds that will help increase your hydration:
Arc Bottle with Time Marker, $16.45 (With Coupon)
At 32 ounces, this little guy doesn’t hold enough water for the entire day. But, for women, drinking and filling it twice will get you really close to that 11-cup intake goal.
Marks along the side show where the water level should be as the day goes on. And if you want all your daily water in one place, it also comes in a burly 74-ounce size priced regularly at $22.99.
Amazon users have nice things to say about this bottle, too: With more than 5,300 ratings, 76% of buyers gave it a 5-star rating.
Reviewer Joseph J. Castiner echoes many of the positive reviews in explaining his 5-star rating.
“Not only does this bottle feel and look great, it actually fits in all of my cup holders which is key so I can bring it with me everywhere I go,” Castiner, who bought the 32-ounce size, wrote. ”If you also find yourself forgetting to drink enough water, this is the bottle for you.”
Amazon customer @pencilskirt also gave a 5-star review, saying, “I am actually drinking water because it’s pretty and I can track my intake by time. I had kidney stones and chronic dehydration headaches that I think will be resolved finally by the good habits this little $25 investment has spawned.”
The 32-ounce size is currently on sale for $21.99 from its original $24.99 price. Plus there’s a $7 coupon attached to both sizes, meaning you can actually obtain this helpful hydration tool for $16.45 (for the 32-ounce size) and $17.55 (for the 74-ounce).

Prosecutors: R. Kelly should get at least 25 years in prison
NEW YORK (AP) — R. Kelly, the R&B superstar known for his anthem “I Believe I Can Fly,” deserves at least 25 years behind bars for sexually abusing women and girls, prosecutors said in a memo filed Wednesday in advance of his sentencing later this month.
A New York City jury found Kelly guilty of racketeering and multiple other counts last year at a sex-trafficking trial that was seen as a signature moment in the #MeToo movement. Prosecutors alleged that the entourage of managers and aides who helped Kelly meet girls — and keep them obedient — amounted to a criminal enterprise.
Several accusers testified in lurid detail during the trial, alleging that Kelly subjected his victims to perverse and sadistic whims when they were underage.
Kelly used his “fame, money and popularity” to systematically “prey upon children and young women for his own sexual gratification,” prosecutors wrote in the filing.
“He continued his crimes and avoided punishment for them for almost 30 years and must now be held to account,” prosecutors wrote.
Kelly’s lawyers have argued that he deserves only a maximum of about 17 years in prison under federal sentencing guidelines.
Among multiple sordid allegations, jurors heard testimony about a fraudulent marriage scheme hatched to protect Kelly after he feared he had impregnated R&B phenom Aaliyah in 1994 when she was just 15. Witnesses said they were married in matching jogging suits using a license falsely listing her age as 18; he was 27 at the time.
Aaliyah worked with Kelly, who wrote and produced her 1994 debut album, “Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number.” She died in a plane crash in 2001 at age 22.
The competing defense memo suggested prosecutors’ arguments for a higher sentence overreached by falsely claiming Kelly participated in the bribery of “a public aid officer to produce an identification card” that allowed the sham marriage to go forward.
Kelly’s lawyers also said it was wrong to assert he should get more time because he sexually abused one of his victims — referred to in court as “Jane” — after her parents innocently entrusted him to help her with her musical career.
“The record shows that Jane’s parents directed Jane to lie to the defendant about her age and then encouraged her to seduce him,” the papers say.
Kelly, 55, is set to be sentenced on June 29.

BOSTON (AP) — One person died in a construction accident in Boston on Thursday morning and a second person was taken to the hospital, police said.
Officers responded to the city's Seaport District at about 5:30 a.m. for reports of an accident, Officer Andre Watson said.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Injuries to the other person are not considered life-threatening, he said.
No information about the victim was made public.
The death is under investigation by police, the Suffolk district attorney's office and the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The fatality is the latest workplace death in the Boston area recently, and comes the day after a 60-year-old contracted overnight security worker at The Country Club in Brookline was found dead by coworkers after apparently falling from a decking area, authorities said.
A worker was killed in March when a floor deck gave way at the Government Center Garage in Boston. Another worker died in October at an under-construction apartment building in East Boston.
Of the 62 workers in Massachusetts who lost their lives on the job in 2021, 15 worked in construction, according to a report released in April by the Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Construction-worker-death-in-Boston-under-17230334.php | 2022-06-09T15:34:41Z | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Construction-worker-death-in-Boston-under-17230334.php | true | 13 |

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Basil Rajapaksa, the younger brother of Sri Lanka's president and the country's former finance minister, said he resigned from Parliament on Thursday amid mounting criticism of his role in the island nation's economic crisis, as the United Nations launched an appeal for $47.2 million in emergency aid.
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has said Sri Lanka needs about $6 billion to pay for vital imports and stay afloat for the next six months.
Rajapaksa said he submitted a letter to give up his Parliament seat but insisted that he was not solely responsible for the country's economic hardships.
“The crisis was there even when I took over,” he said at a news conference. “I did my best with all my strength.”
He served as finance minister from July last year until April, when he resigned with other ministers over the government’s failure to resolve the economic situation.
His resignation from Parliament is seen as a severe blow to his family's dynasty, which has faced growing public outrage. The powerful Rajapaksa family has ruled Sri Lanka for much of the past two decades.

For months, Sri Lankans have endured severe shortages of food, fuel and medicines, power outages and other difficulties because of an acute foreign currency shortage that prevents the country from buying needed imported goods and repaying its debts.
The United Nations said it launched the appeal on Thursday in response to a government request for assistance focusing on healthcare, food and agriculture, safe drinking water and protection of livelihoods.
It said 5.7 million Sri Lankans are in need of humanitarian assistance, but that the appeal will focus on 1.7 million who are most at risk and in need of urgent help.
“If we don’t act now, many families will be unable to meet their basic food needs,” the U.N resident coordinator in Sri Lanka, Hanaa Singer-Hamdy, said in a statement.
“Sri Lanka’s once-strong healthcare system is now in jeopardy, livelihoods are suffering and the most vulnerable are facing the greatest impact. Now is the time for the international community to show solidarity with the people of Sri Lanka,” she said.
Rajapaksa said Thursday that successive governments that ruled Sri Lanka since the 1950s also deserve blame because “they took loans and spent them” without taking steps to avert a crisis. He said he would not be involved in the government anymore but vowed to “continue political work.”
Protesters have occupied the entrance to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's office for more than 50 days demanding his resignation, saying the primary responsibility for the economic crisis rests with him and his family, whom they accuse of corruption and mismanagement.
The protests drove another family member, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, from office last month amid nationwide violence in which his supporters attacked peaceful protesters. Another of the president’s siblings and a nephew also resigned from their Cabinet posts but still serve as lawmakers. Mahinda Rajapaksa was Sri Lanka’s president from 2005 to 2015.
Demonstrations continued Thursday, with police using tear gas to prevent protesters from breaking into the police headquarters to demand action against the Rajapaksa supporters involved in the attacks. They also demanded the release of people they said had been unfairly detained in relation to retaliatory attacks in which nine people, including a lawmaker, were killed and dozens of homes of officials and ruling party supporters were burned.
Sri Lanka is nearly bankrupt. The government announced last month that it is suspending nearly $7 billion in foreign debt repayments due this year out of about $25 billion due by 2026. Sri Lanka’s total foreign debt stands at $51 billion.
Authorities have started discussions with the International Monetary Fund for a bailout package and have asked it to lead a conference to unite Sri Lanka’s lenders.

A two-storey house will always need one thing, regardless of its size: stairs. This might not sound like big news but when you start thinking about how much room a staircase can take up, you start to see how cumbersome and invasive they are in a smaller property. There is, however, a solution!
Small home stairs can be just as beautiful and functional as any others if you take the time to think about where they are going to be placed and how you can free up as much surrounding room as possible. We think we have found some of the most fantastic options for bijou properties so come with us as we scale new architectural heights.
It can't only be us that love spiral staircases! We have always secretly wanted one as they seem so wildly outrageous, mysterious and, let's be honest, cool. What's even better is that because of their design, they are the perfect small home stairs.
Fontanot have created what we think is one of the prettiest spiral staircases that we have seen as it is so unfussy, elegant and chic. The skinny design paired with polished elements and pale natural wood all look phenomenal and have impacted on the room so little, size-wise.
If the idea of a spiral staircase is driving you round the bend there are plenty of more 'standard' options available to you, such as this lovely linear number. By keeping the angle a little steeper it takes up less room, making it the perfect small home stairs option.
We think this looks great and are a little surprised by how well the almost industrial styling of the stairs goes with more rustic touches throughout the rest of the room but therein lies the genius of integrated design; if you can dream it, it can work!
When you can't reduce the size of the staircase that you need but you still want to maximise the perceived space in your home, we think it's time to get serious about materials. Small home stairs need to be as non-invasive as possible so what better way to ensure that than with see-through steps?
In a small hallway we can picture stairs like this simply melting into the background and disappearing, thereby minimising the impact they have on more demure and modest areas. It doesn't hurt that when you do take the time to drink them in, they look amazing too!
For small home stairs that are as exciting as the rest of the décor scheme, cantilevered is the only way to go. It doesn't matter how many sets we see, we always love these floating masterpieces and our first step is always a little tentative. It makes functionality just that bit more exciting!
We think these stairs are the perfect addition for a small home as while they look great and serve a function, by keeping them colour matched to the walls they don't detract from more deliberate flights of fancy, such as retro sideboards or artistic vases.
We know that there are some of you out there that don't like the idea of having something that anyone else could too, so for a more exclusive option why not consider commissioning your very own set of small home stairs? There are more benefits to be had than mere bragging rights!
A custom design would allow you to be very specific about how much living space you sacrifice for your staircase and if it comes at a real premium in your property, this is something worth thinking about. You can also let your creative side run a little wild too.
For the ultimate in space-saving small home stairs innovations, we present to you… the retractable loft ladder! No longer only being used to access infrequently used areas, these handy little installations make it easy to get to your upper floors without having to invest in expensive, large staircases. Of course, this would not be ideal for older residents but as a temporary solution, we think it's a lot of fun!

Gun legislation talks move forward in U.S. Senate; Schumer pledges quick action
By David Morgan
WASHINGTON, June 9 (Reuters) - A rare bipartisan effort in the U.S. Senate to agree on legislation to address a wave of mass shootings drew a pledge for quick action on Thursday as lawmakers continued to report progress toward a deal.
About a dozen lawmakers led by Democratic Senator Chris Murphy and Republican Senator John Cornyn are trying to find common ground on a plan that would bolster school security, address gaps in the U.S. mental health system and keep guns out of the hands of criminals and individuals deemed to be a danger to the public or themselves.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the chamber's top Democrat, said the talks were making "good progress" and could reach agreement "very soon."
"As soon as the bipartisan group comes to agreement, I want to bring a measure to the floor for a vote as quickly as possible," Schumer said in a floor speech.
Negotiators and aides said there was a chance of reaching an agreement in principle later on Thursday. But short of that, lawmakers would have a clearer sense of the scope for further discussions before leaving Washington for the weekend.
"We'll have a better idea of whether we still have momentum, which I believe we do right now," Cornyn told reporters on Wednesday.
Murphy told reporters that his aim was to pass legislation that can stem the tide of shooting deaths in America before the Senate breaks for the July 4 holiday at the end of the month. "This would be a big, historic deal, and we need to get it right," he said.
The effort follows recent mass shootings in Buffalo, New York; Uvalde, Texas; Tulsa, Oklahoma; and elsewhere.
Democrats including President Joe Biden have called for new limits on gun ownership, including a ban on semi-automatic, assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines, and for raising the minimum age to buy those weapons from 18 to 21.
Late on Wednesday, the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives voted largely along party lines to approve a sweeping gun-control package.
But that legislation has no chance of clearing the Senate, which is evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans. As a party, Republicans consistently defend gun ownership rights.
Instead, lawmakers there are considering relatively modest changes that could attract the 60 votes needed for passage in the 100-seat chamber.
Talks on bolstering mental health assistance and incentivizing state "red flag" laws to keep guns from disturbed individuals have turned to the question of how to provide potentially billions of dollars in funding without increasing the federal deficit.
Lawmakers are also discussing provisions to enhance the physical security of schools, including more on-campus security officers, and proposals to add juvenile records to national background check databases.

Despite his many showbiz credentials, Nick Cannon, in recent years, has better come to be known for rapidly growing family.
As it currently stands, Nick is father to twins Moroccan and Monroe, whom he shares with ex-wife, Mariah Carey; son Golden and daughter Powerful Queen, shared with model Brittany Bell; and a second set of twins named Zion and Zillion with DJ Abby De La Rosa.
Within the same month that Zion and Zillion were born in June last year, Nick also welcomed a baby boy named Zen with model Alyssa Scott. However, just five months later in December, Zen tragically died of brain cancer.
After having previously vowed to embark on a celibacy journey, Nick recently shared that a period of severe depression in the wake of his son’s death caused him to break his short-lived sex ban — meaning another pregnancy was pretty much imminent.
And, in January, Nick confirmed that he and model Bre Tiesi are set to welcome their first child together later this year, marking his eighth arrival.
Now, it seems that Bre won’t be the only woman contributing to Nick’s expanding brood in the coming months.
Late last week, DJ Abby De La Rosa — with whom Nick already shares twins Zion and Zillion — seemingly took the total of children up to nine by announcing that she too is pregnant. Abby did not share the identity of the father. However, TMZ reported that the baby — rumored to arrive in October — is indeed Nick’s.
As of right now, Nick is yet to directly comment on Abby’s pregnancy announcement, though he did recently suggest that he’s looking forward to welcoming more than one child by the end of the year.
“Let's just put it this way … the stork is on the way,” he told the hosts of Angela Yee’sLip Service podcast this week.
Without getting into specifics, Nick also teased that he could be on track to break his personal record of three new arrivals in 2021, hinting: “If you thought it was a lot of kids last year….”
Given that the TV host has long been vocal about his thoughts on monogamy and unprotected sex — once admitting he believes monogamous relationships to be unhealthy — it should hardly come as a surprise to hear that his family is expanding once again.
Nevertheless, each time Nick announces that he’s having another child, the internet can’t help but erupt into jokes, with many fans calling for him to go completely celibate or get a vasectomy.
In fact, just last month, Nick himself revealed he’d recently gone for a vasectomy consultation, assuring fans that he wasn't planning to “populate the Earth completely.”
And now, contributing to the commentary in the best way he knows how, Ryan Reynolds has entered the chat.
Ryan, who has been praised for his creative marketing skills, cleverly called upon Nick to star in a new commercial for Aviation Gin in the runup to Father’s Day.
In the short clip, which was shared on social media on Wednesday, Nick — an individual who certainly knows a thing or two about fatherhood — teaches viewers how to whip up a special Father’s Day cocktail, aptly named “The Vasectomy.”
“Lord knows I need one,” Nick quipped, before leaping into a hilarious cocktail-making demonstration, offering some heartfelt insight into fatherhood in the process.
First filling a glass with ice, in the same way “that children fill our lives with so much joy,” Nick proceeds to add a shot of cranberry juice, equating its sweetness to his kids’ “little smiles.”
He next moves on to tonic water. “So bubbly, just like I feel every day after I wake up from a long, full night’s sleep,” he says with a grimace before adding some freshly squeezed lemon.
After topping off the glass with a generous helping of gin and a fruity garnish, Ryan enters the shot and eagerly takes the beverage off Nick’s hands.
“I’ll take it from here Nick. I have three kids,” Ryan says, taking a huge gulp from the cocktail.
In response, Nick proceeds to subtly remind his costar that keeping track of three little ones is nothing compared to his own lively household.
“I have eight,” Nick says shortly, prompting Ryan to spit his drink out of his mouth and across the countertop.
And so, after years of public ridicule, it’s certainly nice to see Nick poking a bit of fun at his unconventional attitude to parenthood. This Father’s Day is sure to be a busy one for him!

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- At 32 years old, Navy dentist Lu Wang has over $750,000 saved and is planning to retire in 10 years.
"We don't tend to discuss finances, it's a little on the taboo side; I don't know why," said Wang.
Her path to savings started as a child watching her parents.
"I saw them struggle quite a bit growing up and knew I didn't want to live that way. It was so much stress at the end of the month to see if we could put food on the table or pay the rent," Wang described.
She said her dad always stressed the importance of saving and investing.
By the time college came around, scholarships were a must because Wang didn't want to carry debt.
"My family wasn't well off at the time, so I didn't want to put additional pressure on them worrying about how to pay for college," Wang said.
She applied and received a few scholarships, including a full ride thanks to her academic achievements.
Wang was studying to be a dentist when a military representative spoke to her class urging students to take advantage of dental graduate school in the Navy. Wang signed up shortly after.
"I utilized the GI Bill to pay for school, and then I invested the salary,” said Wang.
That's when the savings piled up and she began researching stocks and ETFs (exchange-traded funds). She's now a Naval dentist sitting close to $1 million, with her sights set to retire by 42.
Budgeting, she described, has also been a key player.
Wang spends about $250 a month on food, and she explained, "What's the dollar average per meal for me … so if I have a nice steak dinner, then I know for the next couple meals I need to eat cheaply to balance it out.”
About 90 percent of her clothing is second-hand, and as far as subscriptions like Hulu or Netflix go, you can count those out.
"I always thought I don't spend much on entertainment, but the numbers don't lie,” Wang said.
A recent survey by Lending Club Corporation stated close to one-third of Americans earning six figures live paycheck to paycheck.
Wang can proudly say that with hard work, budgeting, and sacrificing the small things, she and others don't have to be part of that statistic.
"Saving is a great habit but it won't take you far in the long haul if you're trying to reach a hard number to retire on," Wang concluded. | https://www.10news.com/news/making-it-in-san-diego/navy-dentist-32-saves-750-000-aims-to-retire-by-age-42 | 2022-06-09T15:46:40Z | https://www.10news.com/news/making-it-in-san-diego/navy-dentist-32-saves-750-000-aims-to-retire-by-age-42 | false | 1 |

Leeds drop major Kalvin Phillips transfer hint amid Man City interest
LEEDS UNITED are in the market for a new central midfielder amid interest in Kalvin Phillips.
Kalvin Phillips is 'an exceptional talent' says pundit
Leeds are looking to reinforce their central midfield amid the uncertain future of Manchester City target Kalvin Phillips. It has been reported that director of football Victor Orta wants to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Marc Roca this summer, with the Spaniard either providing competition for a place in midfield or acting as a replacement for the England star.
Manchester City are reportedly ready to launch a bid for Phillips after the international break, with the England international eyed as a replacement for Fernandinho. But it seems the Whites have no intention of letting him go. According to The Athletic, Roca has been identified as cover to the England international should he stay put at Elland Road, allowing Jesse Marsch to play a deeper midfield two.
Bayern are said to be willing to negotiate his fee of around £10m, but Leeds face competition with West Ham. The Spaniard still has three years left on his current deal, but the German champions are believed to want to offload the player after he has struggled to establish himself in the team.
Phillips, meanwhile, is still under contract until 2024, and Leeds are expected to attempt to secure his long-term future with a new contract. But Pep Guardiola may have different plans however, as he believes the England midfielder has the “perfect profile” to replace Fernandinho.
JUST IN: Karius' incredible new look as Liverpool confirm keeper can leave
The 26-year-old is a keen admirer of Guardiola, having heaped praise on the Spaniard after playing against him for the first time. Speaking in 2020, Phillips said: "I was more mesmerised by Pep Guardiola giving me a handshake, and saying, 'Congratulations, well done.' That was nice."
Manchester United have also been emerged as a potential destination for Phillips but the midfielder would be more inclined to a move to the Etihad other than Old Trafford. City have already wrapped up the signings of Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland, and will make the middle of midfield their top priority when the window opens on Friday.

Phillips was expected to leave if Leeds were relegated to the Championship due to a release clause in his contract, which would have allowed him to depart for just £25m.
But after their last-ditch survival, Leeds can now ask for whatever they want for the midfielder, who isn't expected to push for a move away. | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1623180/Man-City-Kalvin-Phillips-Leeds-Transfer-SNT | 2022-06-09T15:49:47Z | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1623180/Man-City-Kalvin-Phillips-Leeds-Transfer-SNT | false | 1 |

Company offers tips for customers to manage rising temperatures and energy costs
FAIRMONT, W.Va., June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In anticipation of increased electric use along with the potential for seasonal storms, Mon Power, a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE), has completed inspections and equipment maintenance across its West Virginia service territory to enhance service reliability for customers during the summer months.
Helicopter patrols have completed inspections of more than 2,100 miles of high-voltage transmission lines located in Mon Power's service territory. The inspections are designed to look for damaged wire, broken cross arms, failed insulators and other hardware problems not visible from the ground. Potential reliability issues identified during the inspection will be prioritized and addressed.
On the ground, Mon Power personnel inspected its more than 250 substations and completed needed repairs prior to the summer. The inspections included using thermovision cameras to capture infrared images that can reveal potential problems with equipment. By identifying hot spots, maintenance and repairs can be completed before a power outage occurs.
Crews also conducted inspections of distribution circuits, focusing on more than 580 line capacitors that maintain proper electric voltage. These devices are especially useful in remote locations because they automatically adjust voltage levels to accommodate changing system conditions.
"During the summer months, our electrical system faces increased demand as our customers use their fans and air conditioning to stay cool," said Jim Myers, president of FirstEnergy's West Virginia operations. "The inspections and maintenance we conduct are essential in enhancing service reliability and keeping our customers comfortable as temperatures climb."
At its regulated power plants, Fort Martin Power Station and Harrison Power Station, Mon Power has cleaned and inspected generation equipment – including main turbines, boiler feed pumps, pulverizers and condensers – to ensure optimal performance during the summer months.
In addition, Mon Power recently completed its annual storm restoration exercise as part of preparations for hurricane season and potential severe storms that commonly occur during the summer months. Storm drills are becoming more common in the utility industry in the wake of severe weather over the last several years.
For more information on preparing for severe weather, or for updates if storms do cause power outages, visit the 24/7 Power Center at www.firstenergycorp.com/outages.
With the summer storm season also comes higher-than-usual temperatures and rising energy costs. Customers can take steps to beat the heat while also managing their electricity bill this summer. The following tips can help customers use electricity wisely during this period of high demand:
- Set thermostats as high as comfort will allow. Every degree a customer can increase the temperature in their home will result in using about 3 percent less energy during the summer.
- Use fans – moving air cools skin faster, resulting in greater comfort on hot days.
- During sunny weather, close drapes or blinds on windows facing the sun to prevent direct radiant heating from impacting interior temperatures.
- Use a programmable or smart thermostat to keep temperatures higher when no one is home and to reduce the temperature before arrival back home.
- Seal any leaks with caulk or weather stripping to prevent hot air from sneaking into your home.
- Check air conditioner and furnace fan filters. Clogged filters waste energy and money by forcing HVAC systems to work harder than necessary.
- Avoid using heat-producing appliances during the hottest hours of the day. The less heat produced at home, the less work the air conditioner must do.
- Payment arrangements and assistance programs are available for customers who need help with their electric bills. For more information, visit www.firstenergycorp.com/billassist.
Summer is also a time when contractors and homeowners spend more time outdoors completing projects. Important outdoor electrical safety tips are available at www.firstenergycorp.com/publicsafety.
Mon Power serves about 395,000 customers in 34 West Virginia counties. Follow Mon Power at www.mon-power.com, on Twitter @MonPowerWV, and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/MonPowerWV.
FirstEnergy is dedicated to integrity safety, reliability and operational excellence. Its 10 electric distribution companies form one of the nation's largest investor-owned electric systems, serving customers in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Maryland and New York. The company's transmission subsidiaries operate approximately 24,000 miles of transmission lines that connect the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions.

Patna, June 9: After the announcement of the presidential poll, Bihar Rural Development Minister Shrawon kumar on Thursday said that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has all the ability to hold the office of President.
"Being a Bihari, I wish that Nitish Kumar will become President of India. He has brought extremely backward Bihar on the track and if he would be given a chance to work as a President of India, he will give his efforts to bring the country forward in the world," the minister, who belongs to Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal-United, said. President Election 2022: EC Announces Schedule, Nominations Till June 29, Voting on July 18, Results on July 21
"Nitish Kumar is not in the race for the post of President but every person would want him to become the President of the country. He is a better candidate for the post and he can hold the responsibility well," he added.
The statement of Shrawon kumar came at a time when the political relationship of JD-U and BJP are improving in Bihar these days. Recently, Nitish Kumar appreciated the job of Industry Minister and BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain during two public events.
Meanwhile, BJP leaders, including its state President Sanjay Jaiswal, who were critical of the Nitish Kumar government in the past are silent these days.
Even the JD-U and BJP leaders have shown unity during the nominations for Rajya Sabha and MLC candidates. Nitish Kumar, his deputies Tar K

FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – Millerton Lake has a presence in both Fresno County and Madera County, just north of the town of Friant. But those new to the area may not know that underneath the waters of Millerton Lake was the original town of Millerton.
According to the California Department of Parks and Recreation, Millerton Lake was created following the construction of the Friant Dam. But to create the lake, the town underneath had to be flooded.
State-provided documents show that the town of Millerton was originally founded in 1852, then known as Rootville. The California gold rush brought miners into the area and the town continued to do well until the railroad reached what is now Fresno.
Other state-provided documents detail what led to the residents to leave the town of Millerton. A flood on Christmas Eve 1867 struck the town when landslides that had previously blocked the flow of water upriver broke away – sending a cascade of water down into the town. The strong flowing water is said to have destroyed everything in its path.
Fortunately, no lives were lost in the incident. Records show that the people of Millerton had been warned ahead of time about the impending danger and had taken some of their belongings to higher ground. The value of the mine that started the town was not worth as much anymore – leaving little money to rebuild the town following the water damage.
An election in 1874 established that the county offices should be moved – and then the population also voted to move everything from Millerton to Fresno station. The town’s courthouse was moved as well and eventually rebuilt in its current location in 1966.
Work on what we now know as Friant Dam began in the late 1930s, and by the mid-1940s Millerton Lake had inundated the town below. In 1957, Millerton Lake State Recreation Area was established as a part of the State Park system.
Millerton isn’t the only California town whose remnants are sitting at the bottom of a lake. Under Lexington Reservoir in the Bay Area, there used to be two towns called Lexington and Alma, writes SFGate.
Several Gold Rush towns were also flooded by the creation of Folsom Lake near Sacramento. One of them became exposed last year when drought caused water levels to drop particularly low. | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/the-forgotten-underwater-town-at-the-bottom-of-a-california-lake/ | 2022-06-09T15:59:14Z | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/the-forgotten-underwater-town-at-the-bottom-of-a-california-lake/ | true | 9 |
It's the end of an era – the Jurassic Era. After six "Jurassic Park" and "Jurassic World" movies and almost 30 years, it's apparently the end of the line for the creature feature franchise that left an oversized footprint on pop culture. "Jurassic World" director Colin Trevorrow returns to helm "Jurassic World Dominion," the final film of the legacy trilogy, and a trio of favorite actors from the "Jurassic Park" movies have returned to bid adieu to the dinosaurs as well. It's laden with nostalgia, made up of nods to the original films and other action-adventure classics, and as a goodbye note to the franchise, it's heartfelt, if a bit limpid, giving preference to references over storytelling.
If Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" was a slasher movie where Michael Myers was a velociraptor, "Jurassic World Dominion" is a swashbuckling action-adventure picture in the style of "Indiana Jones," but with huge, murderous reptiles. After the dip into gothic haunted house horror that was J.A. Bayona's "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom," the dinosaurs are officially free of the park and out into the world, and we've been promised a film about dinosaurs inhabiting the same space humans and other animals do: stampeding across the prairies, invading city parks, rampaging through the oceans, etc.
There is some of that, to be sure, but "Dominion," written by Trevorrow, Derek Connolly and Emily Carmichael, quickly brings the story back into "Park" mode, after a couple of international detours in the style of Indy or James Bond or even Jason Bourne. Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) find themselves plunged into the dinosaur black market in Malta while tracking down their adoptive daughter, Maisie (Isabella Sermon), a human clone of a brilliant genetic scientist who has been kidnapped for her very valuable DNA.
With the help of a swaggering pilot-for-hire, Kayla (DeWanda Wise), cut from the same cloth as Han Solo, Owen and Claire head for the the Dolomite Mountains in Italy, the headquarters of Biosyn, a genetics research company/dinosaur sanctuary headed up by oddball tech mogul Lewis Dodgson (Campbell Scott). Already at Biosyn are "Jurassic" fan favorites Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), who are looking to investigate a plague of locusts that suspiciously don't eat Biosyn crops. Yep, things are getting biblical.
The film's best, and most innovative, set piece is a motorcycle chase through the streets of Malta with some weaponized murder-saurs, but once things converge on the contained location of Biosyn, it starts to follow the "Jurassic" blueprint faithfully, and consciously, delivering what we all expect. The humans interface with the dinosaurs up close, Ripley and Xenomorph style, and enjoy a front row seat to the kaiju big battle that is T-Rex vs. Giganotosaurus.
If it all sounds like a lot of references to a lot of other movies, well, that's exactly what "Jurassic World Dominion" is, and there are some pleasures to be found in remembering the greatest hits of the major action-adventure and monster movies of the past 40 years. But all of those other films were groundbreaking, inventive and original, while "Dominion" merely rides their coattails, or, perhaps, more nefariously, steals their valor, offering up a rewarmed version of "Jurassic Park" jazzed up with nods to "Godzilla," "Apocalypse Now" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
Sometimes leftovers can hit the spot – the cast is game, the new additions like Wise and Mamoudou Athie are great, and Howard gets a chance to shine. But while "Jurassic World Dominion" offers up some lightweight summer fun, it's not exactly satisfying, lacking in true suspense, tension and the kind of thrilling spectacle that Spielberg so effortlessly mastered in the first "Jurassic Park," a cinematic high that we'll be chasing forever. | https://www.postguam.com/entertainment/movies/jurassic-world-dominion-a-nostalgia-filled-romp-that-fails-to-entirely-satisfy/article_a8a8180a-e7bb-11ec-ba9d-b3660c8d821c.html | 2022-06-09T15:59:26Z | https://www.postguam.com/entertainment/movies/jurassic-world-dominion-a-nostalgia-filled-romp-that-fails-to-entirely-satisfy/article_a8a8180a-e7bb-11ec-ba9d-b3660c8d821c.html | true | 5 |
Internal audit and finance leaders need to modernize their SOX compliance approaches to mitigate costs and retain talent
MENLO PARK, Calif., June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The thirteenth annual Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Compliance Survey, conducted by global consulting firm Protiviti, finds that hours devoted to SOX compliance increased for 53% of companies across most industries, company sizes and reporting types. Coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the passage of the U.S Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act, the 2022 survey results illustrate the need for companies to explore alternative delivery models and automation for SOX compliance to drive a more effective and efficient execution strategy in the face of continued cost pressures, intensifying scrutiny from external auditors (due to guidance from the U.S. PCAOB), labor shortages, remote and hybrid working models, and other challenges.
The survey found that for companies that are beyond their second year of SOX compliance, average annual costs for SOX compliance went up 18% from 2021 to 2022. Thirty percent of surveyed companies beyond their second year of SOX compliance spent more than $2 million in their most recent fiscal year, versus 24% the prior year. While companies are increasing their use of automation and external resources, there is still significant opportunity to moderate cost increases for SOX compliance.
"Today internal audit and finance leaders have a menu of options available to innovate and streamline their SOX compliance programs and lessen internal burdens, from technology tools that support automation, provide workflow capabilities and support document management, to alternative delivery models, such as centers of excellence managed internally or by an external outsourcing partner," said Andrew Struthers-Kennedy, a Protiviti managing director and global leader of the firm's Internal Audit and Financial Advisory practice. "The ongoing war for talent underscores the urgency for internal audit leaders to explore the staffing and retention advantages that alternative service delivery models can yield. Delivery center organizational structures offer internal audit teams the ability to focus on strategic contributions and avoid burnout and turnover related to certain repetitive and routine SOX program activities."
To demonstrate the potential for savings from automation, for an organization with 200 controls, a reduction of one hour in, for example, testing for operating control effectiveness can result in 200 saved person hours and yield significant benefits in effectiveness and population coverage.
In addition to increasing their investment in supporting automation, survey respondents signaled increasing interest in leveraging internal shared services models and partnerships with third parties that operate external centers of excellence for controls testing. On average, 41% of surveyed organizations' SOX compliance costs are for outsourced resources, either onshore or offshore, up from 37% in 2021. Fifty-four percent of surveyed companies are leveraging audit management and GRC platforms; two out of five organizations are using data analytics and visualization platforms; and one in three are using segregation of duties analysis tools and continuous monitoring. However, companies utilize technology tools on an average of 25% of their overall SOX compliance program activities, leaving significant room for improvement.
The Protiviti report, titled "SOX Compliance Amid Rising Costs, Labor Shortages and Other Post-Pandemic Challenges," is based on a survey of more than 560 audit, compliance and finance leaders and professionals, representing a wide range of industries. The survey was conducted with support from AuditBoard, a leading cloud-based audit, risk and security compliance management platform, in March and April of 2022.
Survey Resources Available
The annual Protiviti SOX Compliance Survey benchmarks compliance costs, hours, processes and improvements, including how these areas are affected by current business conditions. The survey report is available for complimentary download here. Additionally, an infographic and a podcast featuring Protiviti Managing Directors Clint McPherson and Seth Schrank discussing the advantages of alternative delivery models are available on the web page. Protiviti and AuditBoard will conduct a free one-hour webinar on June 16 at 10:00 a.m. PDT with Struthers-Kennedy and Scott Madenburg, market advisor, AuditBoard, along with Protiviti's Keith Kawashima, a managing director, and Kristen Kelly, director, to further explore the study's results and implications.

The PGA Tour says members who are playing in the Saudi-funded league in London are no longer eligible to play tour events.
Commissioner Jay Monahan has sent out a memo indicating the sanctions against Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson and 15 other players. The memo went out a short time after the LIV Golf Invitational outside London began with a 48-player field.
The decision includes the Presidents Cup. Monahan says even if players resigned their membership, they are not eligible as nonmembers to get sponsor exemptions to tournaments. The USGA has said players can still play the U.S. Open next week.
Mickelson and Johnson were among a number of former major champions to leave the PGA Tour behind for the LIV Golf Invitational, which is offering mammoth purses.
While Johnson said he voluntarily resigned from the PGA Tour, Mickelson was essentially fired from the circuit.
“I've also worked really hard to contribute and try to build and add value to the TOUR during my time there, and I worked really hard to earn a lifetime exemption,” Mickelson said. “And I -- I don't want to give that up. I don't believe I should have to. I don't know what that means for a future, but I don't know what's going to happen. But I've earned that, and I don't plan on just giving it up.”
Several other former major champions appear to be joining the league. The Daily Telegraph is reporting that Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed will announce they too are joining the circuit. The outlet reported they will play at LIV Golf’s first American event later this month.
Players said that LIV Golf’s lucrative purses and appearance fees contributed to their decision to leave behind the PGA Tour.
“I hope there's a few more years left in the tank but there are no promises left on the PGA TOUR. And an opportunity like this comes along where you can play the last three or four years of your career, in a very financially lucrative environment, it would be crazy to walk away from that as a businessman,” said Graeme McDowell, past U.S. Open champion. | https://www.ktnv.com/news/national/mickelson-johnson-15-others-suspended-off-pga-tour | 2022-06-09T16:04:02Z | https://www.ktnv.com/news/national/mickelson-johnson-15-others-suspended-off-pga-tour | false | 11 |
Manchester United are reportedly considering a shock move for out-of-favor Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, with the player keen to leave Anfield.
Oxlade-Chamberlain, 28, has found game time hard to come by in recent seasons. The likes of Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alcantara and Naby Keita are all ahead of him.
The midfielder seems to be pushing for an exit from Liverpool and could make a shock move to fierce rivals Manchester United.
According to Alex Crook, the Red Devils are weighing up a move for the English midfielder, who could be available for £10 million.
Crook wrote for talkSPORT:
"Manchester United are contemplating a surprise raid on bitter rivals Liverpool for want-away Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. (He) is desperate to leave Anfield having started only nine Premier League games last season."
He added:
"If Liverpool are willing to accept a knockdown fee of £10m, the Red Devils would be seriously interested in bringing Oxlade-Chamberlain across the north west."
No player has moved from the Reds to Old Trafford or vice versa since 1964 when Phil Chisnall joined the Anfield side from United.
It would be a real shock to see Oxlade-Chamberlain make the move to the Red Devils, as Jurgen Klopp will likely not be keen to aid Erik ten Hag's rebuild.
The English midfielder made 29 appearances for Klopp's side last season, scoring three goals and contributing three assists. But he could offer Erik ten Hag versatility as he can play both as a central-midfielder and as a winger.
Oxlade-Chamberlain found success in the wide forward role at former club Arsenal, where he developed into one of England's most promising talents.
He has failed to live up to expectations ever since Klopp sanctioned a £34.2 million move for the midfielder back in 2017. The Englishman has made 133 appearances for the Reds, scoring 17 goals and contributing 15 assists.
Manchester United are not alone in their interest in Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Manchester United aren't the only side reportedly interested in Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Crook also reports that Southampton are keen on reuniting with their former academy graduate.
Meanwhile, The Athletic reports that West Ham United and Aston Villa are also considering a move for the midfielder.
Jurgen Klopp has previously touched on the potential loss of the likes of Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer (via LiverpoolWorld):
“I don't want to see anyone leave but that's life and the situation. No-one has told me they want to leave. No agent called and said: 'If he's not playing more (he wants to leave)'." | https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/rumor-manchester-united-plot-surprise-move-sign-liverpool-star-tipped-leave-anfield-reports | 2022-06-09T16:04:07Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/rumor-manchester-united-plot-surprise-move-sign-liverpool-star-tipped-leave-anfield-reports | false | 1 |

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Sen. Raphael G. Warnock will have a children’s book out this fall, a picture story based on his being one of 12 siblings.
Philomel Books, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers, announced Thursday that Warnock’s “Put On Your Shoes and Get Ready!” will be published Nov. 15.
“Growing up, my father told me and my siblings, every day, that we had to put on our shoes and get ready for what was in store,” Warnock, a Georgia Democrat who is running for re-election, said in a statement. Whether it was church shoes on Sundays or basketball shoes for my brother, cheerleading shoes for my sister, or marching band shoes for me, no matter what else was going on, we put on our shoes and went out into the world and made things happen.”
TeMika Grooms will provide illustrations for the book.
Warnock, senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, is Georgia’s first Black senator. His memoir “A Way Out of No Way” will be released next week. | https://www.8newsnow.com/entertainment-news/picture-book-by-sen-raphael-warnock-coming-in-november/ | 2022-06-09T16:04:36Z | https://www.8newsnow.com/entertainment-news/picture-book-by-sen-raphael-warnock-coming-in-november/ | true | 34 |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Grammys are adding a special song for social change award and five new categories including songwriter of the year, giving the Recording Academy an avenue to honor music’s best composer.
The academy announced Thursday that the new non-classical songwriter category will recognize one individual who was the “most prolific” non-performing and non-producing songwriter for a body of new work during an eligibility year. The category is taking a different approach than song of the year, which awards the songwriter or songwriters who wrote the lyrics or melodies to one song.
“This new category is truly for an expert person at the songwriting craft," Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr told The Associated Press. Songwriters must have written a minimum of five songs in which they are credited “solely” as a songwriter or co-writer.
“Somebody who writes their own music and records it would not be eligible,” he said. "They would have to be doing songs for others. We want to highlight the craft of writing songs professionally for artists.”
“Songwriters are at the heart of our business and industry," he said. "Nothing happens without songwriters. For us, this was a no brainer. It’s in alignment with all the changes. We thought, ‘How can we do more? Showcase more people and be more inclusive to different genres?’”
The new category is another huge step for songwriters. Last year, a rule update allowed that any songwriter, producer, engineer or featured artist on an album nominated for album of the year could ultimately earn a nomination.
The four other categories include best spoken word poetry album, alternative music performance, Americana music performance and score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media.
The academy created a special merit award that determines best song for social change. The award will be based on lyrical content that addresses a timely social issue and promotes “understanding, peacebuilding and empathy.”
“It's always the right time to recognize music that's changing the world,” he said. “I think it deserves a special recognition. These songs are important and impactful. We want to make sure we're honoring and celebrating that artform. This is a great way to do that."
Mason said it was yearlong process of accepting proposals to make changes, additions and updates from music creators and professionals that make up the membership body. | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Grammys-add-new-categories-including-songwriter-17230117.php | 2022-06-09T16:06:01Z | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Grammys-add-new-categories-including-songwriter-17230117.php | false | 35 |
Transaction Is Silicon Valley's Largest Ever Investment Sale, According to Newmark
SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tishman Speyer today announced the sale of the Sunnyvale office campus in California to CommonWealth Partners, a national commercial real estate developer, investor and operator.
Tishman Speyer acquired the campus, located on Crossman Drive in the desirable Moffett Park neighborhood, from NetApp in April 2021 for $356 million. Just seven months later, the company leased the entire property to Meta, the year's largest new private sector office lease in the U.S. Meta's 719,037 square foot lease includes four modern office buildings, two parking structures, and ample outdoor recreational space.
This acquisition brings CommonWealth Partners' holdings in the Moffett Park/Sunnyvale market to over 1.25 million square feet of LEED Gold/Platinum Trophy office space. Established in California in 1995, CommonWealth Partners has a long and successful history of ownership in Silicon Valley and strong local ties in the market, as illustrated by its recently executed lease renewal of international law firm Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati at 650 Page Mill Road in Palo Alto.
Tishman Speyer CEO Rob Speyer said, "Sunnyvale is a great success story. We are pleased that CommonWealth Partners has agreed to buy the campus, now fully leased to Meta. The sale and the lease demonstrate that Silicon Valley remains a global center of innovation. Moreover, this deal demonstrates that the market for highly collaborative, well-designed office space with accessible green space and top-level amenities is still strong."
The Sunnyvale campus features an array of modern amenities, including a gym with basketball court, lockers, showers, outdoor volleyball court, executive briefing center, a full-service cafeteria, multiple kitchens, break centers, phone rooms and other common areas.
"This was a compelling investment for CommonWealth Partners, increasing our presence in this strategic, high growth submarket of Silicon Valley to more than a million square-feet in the Moffett/Sunnyvale area," said Brett Munger, CEO and Managing Partner of CommonWealth Partners. "The acquisition of a top-quality asset in this dynamic submarket that has become a hotbed for expansion by Google, Amazon, Meta and other high credit tech companies diversifies our portfolio's tenant mix and reinforces our commitment to being a leading provider of high-quality office space in the region."
Tishman Speyer Senior Managing Director Carl Shannon added, "During a period of significant uncertainty, we seized on a rare opportunity to purchase and reposition an emptying office campus in one of the world's foremost technology and innovation hubs. We are grateful to our co-investors for their confidence in us – and to reward that faith with an outstanding return in just over one year's time."
Kevin Shannon, Steven Golubchik, Phil Mahoney, Jonathan Schaefler and Darren Hollak of Newmark represented Tishman Speyer in the sale.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland's government announced Thursday that it will lift a state of emergency on July 1 along its border with Belarus as it completes the construction of a wall aimed at stopping migrants and refugees.
However, it will still ban people from getting within 200 meters of the border as workers install electronics onto the 5.5-meter (18-foot) high steel wall.
Poland began building the wall and restricted the rights of most people to enter the border area after large number of migrants, most of them from the Middle East, began crossing from Belarus into European Union nations Poland, Lithuania and Latvia.
The EU accused the Moscow-allied government of Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko of encouraging the migration to punish those countries for EU sanctions on his government and to create chaos and disunity within the bloc.
As the new migration route was born, tens of thousands of people from Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, African nations and even Cuba began trying to enter the EU from Belarus.
Thousands made it across and made their way to Germany or elsewhere in Western Europe. But Polish border guards and police have also pushed migrants back across the border into Belarus, a practice that has led to some deaths. The pushbacks of migrants are considered illegal under international law, but Poland changed its own laws to allow them.
There have been reports of over 20 deaths, but refugee rights activists believe the death toll is far higher.
Poland's state of emergency, which restricts the movements of most people in the border area, had prevented journalists, human rights workers and other citizens from going there, making it more difficult to get a clear picture of the situation.
Human rights groups have condemned the pushbacks and accused Poland's government of having double standards — wholeheartedly welcoming Ukrainian war refugees while allowing dark-skinned asylum-seekers to die along the border.
The Interior Ministry said it does not need the border zone restrictions any longer “due to the progress of works on the construction of the barrier.”
Poland's steel border wall topped with barbed wire will run more than 180 kilometers (115 miles) next to Belarus. The border also includes the Bug River, and at least one migrant has already drowned trying to cross it.

NEW YORK (AP) — Shirley Jackson had a gift for evoking the depths of anxiety in the space it might take to summarize a baseball game.
Two very brief and previously unreleased stories, “Charlie Roberts” and “Only Stand and Wait,” were published this week in the summer issue of The Strand Magazine, which has featured obscure works by William Faulkner, Mark Twain and many others. “Charlie Roberts” is a tense conversation between a married couple over plans for a dinner party, while in “Only Stand and Wait” a blind man has surgery and soon will be able to see, but wonders if he made the right decision.
“Like many of Jackson’s works, both of these stories carry weighty, unspoken insecurities," Strand managing editor Andrew F. Gulli wrote in the new issue.
Jackson's son and literary executor, Laurence Hyman, calls the two undated stories “vignettes” she likely dashed off in her 20s during one of her daily writing sessions. Jackson, who died in 1965 at age 48, was a prolific writer who completed eight novels and hundreds of stories, most famously “The Lottery." She left behind a substantial amount of unfinished and/or unpublished work, some of which Hyman and his sister Sarah Hyman Stewart helped compile for the posthumous collections “Just an Ordinary Day” and “Let Me Tell You.”
It was a household dedicated to the production of words; Jackson's husband, Stanley Edgar Hyman, was himself an author and New Yorker staff writer. Laurence Hyman has vivid memories of returning home and hearing his parents at work.
“She was a very rapid typist, and when the two of them were on their typewriters the sound was really percussive. It was like machine gun fire,” he said. “You would hear a flurry of typing, then a brief pause, then another flurry.”
Jackson scholar Darryl Hattenhauer, an associate professor of American Studies and English at Arizona State University West, believes the two pieces could have been starting points for longer narratives. But each work as stories in their own right, with a common theme of the outside world as perhaps best kept at a distance.
In “Charlie Porter,” the title character is never seen, but has left a pocket knife behind at the home of an unnamed couple. In just a few hundred words, during a dialogue about whom to invite for dinner, Jackson suggests a background of infidelity and mistrust, briefly alludes to a previous separation in the marriage and has the husband wonder about the need to have guests at all.
“Why do we have to know people anyway? Can’t we just be contented all alone?”
“We never are contented all alone,” the wife responds with a laugh. “We have to have people to annoy us.”
The title of “Only Stand and Wait” comes from a poem by John Milton, who laments his blindness — “my days in this dark world” — but accepts his fate and concludes "they also serve who only stand and wait.”
In Jackson's story, an unnamed man sits in his doctor's office, his eyes bandaged. Blind since birth, he is on the verge of seeing for the first time. But instead of feeling joy and gratitude, he worries that his lack of sight had somehow protected him.
“I’ll be right out in the world,” said the man. “I’ll be with everyone else, living with them, and seeing them too.”
Not even the doctor's promise to proceed slowly can reassure him.
“Don’t take the bandages off yet, doctor. Let me be for a little longer," he says. "Please, doctor. I think I want to be blind for a little longer.”

'You can't really do anything': Manitoba shoppers brace for possibility of second milk price hike
Dairy farmers in Manitoba say the pandemic, drought, flood, and the war in Ukraine have left them scrambling to make ends meet – prompting a call for a rare mid-year price hike on milk. It's a move some Winnipeg shoppers are concerned will be yet another blow to their rising grocery bill.
David Wiens, chair of the Dairy Farmers of Manitoba, says farmers are struggling.
"We've been experiencing a lot of volatility over the past, I would say about a year especially, having come out of the pandemic," he said. "We had a drought, floods this spring, and to top it off, war in Ukraine, and all of those things are impacting milk prices."
He said farmers are seeing their input costs rising, with price of fertilizer up 44 per cent, the price of fuel up 32 per cent, and the price of feed up eight per cent.
"We're feeling it on the farm," Wiens said. "It becomes increasingly difficult to make all ends meet."
It's prompted the Dairy Farmers of Canada to make a rare request – a mid-year price hike.
The Canadian Dairy Commission said it received the request for an increase to the farm gate price of milk. The price already rose six cents per litre in February. Though prices are usually reviewed only once a year, the industry lobby group said its seeking the price hike due to inflation.
Wiens said the farm gate price does not necessarily correlate with the price shoppers see at the grocery store.
"Exactly how it will impact retail prices can't be known with any precision at this point," Wiens told CTV News.
However, the request is not sitting well with Munther Zied, the owner and manager of the grocery chain Food Fare.
"I think that's insane. I'm trying to justify it in my mind of why these increases are happening," he said. "Prices are already high as it is. Milk, a four-litre jug, is ridiculously priced."
He said while some stores try to lower the price of milk to bring in customers, it is ultimately the consumer that will be paying if the increase is approved.
"With the price of milk the way it is, I mean people are actually looking at alternate milks right now. Whether it be the soy milk, or whatever," he said. "But even that's going up. With everything going on in this world, it's causing costs to go up ridiculously."
In a statement to CTV News, the Retail Council of Canada said it doesn't know yet what dairy farmers' input cost pressures will be to substantiate the demand for a second increase this year.
"Regardless, this points to another example of how retailers continue to face multiple price increases and/or demands from suppliers which is the primary reason why consumers’ grocery costs are increasing," the statement reads.
For some resigned grocery shoppers in Winnipeg, the news of another price hike is not surprising.
"It sort of runs up the chain. If milk producers have to increase their costs, it is going to go up the chain to consumers. You can't really do anything," grocery shopper Val told CTV News while walking out of the Downtown Family Foods store on Wednesday. She said a price hike in milk would be just one more expense added to an already expensive cost of living.
"Everything else is going up, why not that too?" said Andrew, who had just picked up a carton of milk at the grocery store on Wednesday.
Andrew said he's noticed his grocery bill has been getting higher recently, and he's concerned.
"I think everybody is. You'd have to pretty blind not to see what is going on and how it is affecting everybody," he said. "I don't think there is a lot the average person can do. Do your best, try to save where you can."
The request called for the increase to take effect at the beginning of September. The commission will be consulting stakeholders about the request from June 12 to 15, and will announce its decision in the following days.

JOHANNESBURG – South African President Cyril Ramaphosa was confronted in Parliament Thursday by opposition politicians who pressed him to step down from office pending a criminal investigation into allegations that he covered up a theft from his rural game farm.
Parliament members from the Economic Freedom Fighters were forcibly removed from the legislature's session for repeatedly interrupting Ramaphosa as he presented the annual budget for his office.
“We can’t be addressed by a money launderer and a criminal," shouted Natasha Ntlangwini, an EFF member of parliament. “We can’t be addressed by a person that ... is accused of serious crimes.” She was later ejected from the session by security guards.
The theft in 2020 of a large amount of cash in U.S. dollars from his ranch in the northern Limpopo province was alleged in a criminal complaint filed this month by former intelligence chief Arthur Fraser.
Ramaphosa later confirmed the burglary and said the cash was from selling game animals on his farm. The president said that he reported it to the head of his personal protection unit but not to the police.
The scandal is a major blow to Ramaphosa’s image as a leader committed to stamping out corruption in South Africa. His strong stance against corruption propelled him to power in 2018 when former President Jacob Zuma was forced to step down from power amid widespread graft allegations. Ramaphosa again vowed to root out corruption in the 2019 election when he won a five-year term as the country's president.
The questions surrounding the theft come as Ramaphosa seeks re-election as the leader of the ruling party, the African National Congress, at its national conference in December this year.
Some of the questions Ramaphosa has been asked include: How much money in U.S. dollars was stolen from his farm? Where did the money come from? Was the foreign exchange declared to the South African Revenue Service?
The populist Economic Freedom Fighters, the second-largest opposition party in Parliament, said it has briefed its lawyers to launch legal proceedings to force Ramaphosa to step down pending the criminal investigation.
Another opposition party, the United Democratic Movement, has formally requested Parliament to launch its own probe into the matter and for Ramaphosa to appear before it.

Company offers tips for customers to manage rising temperatures and energy costs
AKRON, Ohio, June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With the hot summer months likely to produce higher electric usage and potentially severe weather, FirstEnergy Corp.'s (NYSE: FE) Ohio electric companies – Ohio Edison, The Illuminating Company and Toledo Edison – recently completed inspections and conducted equipment maintenance expected to enhance service reliability for customers. The work builds upon vast equipment and technology upgrades FirstEnergy has made to its electric grid in Ohio over the past two years to help prevent power outages and reduce many interruptions to just a brief or momentary outage.
"We proactively inspect, maintain and upgrade our equipment to help minimize the length and impact of service interruptions," said Ed Shuttleworth, president of FirstEnergy's Ohio operations. "Since 2020, FirstEnergy has invested more than $300 million in new automated equipment and technology across its Ohio service area to help keep power flowing to our customers in all types of weather conditions."
Proactive equipment inspections include using thermovision cameras to capture infrared images of electrical equipment, helping detect potential problems within substations and on power lines that cannot be observed during regular visual inspections. The infrared technology shows heat on a color scale, with brighter colors or "hot spots" indicating areas that could need repairs. These images can identify equipment issues such as loose connections, corrosion and load imbalances, and utility workers are able to make repairs to prevent potential power outages in the future.
Other utility work being done by FirstEnergy utility personnel includes inspecting electrical equipment, like transformers, located along neighborhood power lines and within substations to ensure the infrastructure is ready to perform efficiently when demand for electricity increases during the summer, typically due to air conditioning usage.
In addition, helicopter patrols have completed inspections of more than 7,200 miles of transmission lines owned by American Transmission Systems, Inc. (ATSI), a FirstEnergy subsidiary, across the company's Ohio footprint. The inspections are designed to look for damaged wire, broken cross arms and other hardware problems not visible from the ground. Any potential reliability issues identified during the inspections are addressed as quickly as possible.
Beyond infrastructure work, FirstEnergy's utility employees participate in readiness exercises and drills throughout the year to test the company's restoration process used to address storm-related power outages. Storm drills are becoming more common in the utility industry in the wake of severe weather over the last several years.
Customers can get tips to prepare in advance of severe weather, and view restoration updates if storms do cause power outages, by visiting FirstEnergy's 24/7 Power Center at www.firstenergycorp.com/outages.
With the summer storm season also comes higher-than-usual temperatures and rising energy costs. Customers can take steps to beat the heat while also managing their electricity bill this summer. The following tips can help customers use electricity wisely during this period of high demand:
- Set thermostats as high as comfort will allow. Every degree a customer can increase the temperature in their home will result in using about 3 percent less energy during the summer.
- Use fans – moving air cools skin faster, resulting in greater comfort on hot days.
- During sunny weather, close drapes or blinds on windows facing the sun to prevent direct radiant heating from impacting interior temperatures.
- Use a programmable or smart thermostat to keep temperatures higher when no one is home and to reduce the temperature before arrival back home.
- Seal any leaks with caulk or weather stripping to prevent hot air from sneaking into your home.
- Check air conditioner and furnace fan filters. Clogged filters waste energy and money by forcing HVAC systems to work harder than necessary.
- Avoid using heat-producing appliances during the hottest hours of the day. The less heat produced at home, the less work the air conditioner must do.
- Payment arrangements and assistance programs are available for customers who need help with their electric bills. For more information, visit www.firstenergycorp.com/billassist.

The Mumbai Police commissioner, Sanjay Pandey issued an order on Thursday to file cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act only after the approval of the deputy commissioner. In response to the commissioner's order, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) wrote to the Maharashtra Police and asked for the order to be withdrawn.
WHAT DID THE COMMISSIONER SAY?
According to Mumbai police commissioner Sanjay Pandey, several false cases are being registered due to personal disputes over property and financial matters. The directive issued by him said that in such cases, the accused is arrested immediately without verification of facts. He said the order was issued so that such false accusations are avoided.
It also added that the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) should follow the Supreme Court's judgement in the Lalita Kumari case. In the 2013 `Lalita Kumari versus Govt of UP and others' case, a three-member bench of the top court set out guidelines as to when the registration of an FIR is mandatory.

NCPCR’S LETTER TO MUMBAI POLICE
The NCPCR’s letter to the Director General of Police (DGP) of the Mumbai Police said the commissioner’s order “will cause a serious infringement upon the right of victims of sexual abuse and cause undue delay for victims to their access to justice.” It also said the order is in violation of “the true objective and spirit of the POCSO Act.”
It further said certain offences under the POCSO Act are cognisable offences and an FIR has to be filed immediately as per the procedure given under the Criminal Procedure Code.
The NCPCR asked for the order to be withdrawn after the DGP’s office reviews it. It also asked for an action taken report to be sent to the commission in the next seven days.

NEW YORK (AP) — Shirley Jackson had a gift for evoking the depths of anxiety in the space it might take to summarize a baseball game.
Two very brief and previously unreleased stories, “Charlie Roberts” and “Only Stand and Wait,” were published this week in the summer issue of The Strand Magazine, which has featured obscure works by William Faulkner, Mark Twain and many others. “Charlie Roberts” is a tense conversation between a married couple over plans for a dinner party, while in “Only Stand and Wait” a blind man has surgery and soon will be able to see, but wonders if he made the right decision.
“Like many of Jackson’s works, both of these stories carry weighty, unspoken insecurities," Strand managing editor Andrew F. Gulli wrote in the new issue.
Jackson's son and literary executor, Laurence Hyman, calls the two undated stories “vignettes” she likely dashed off in her 20s during one of her daily writing sessions. Jackson, who died in 1965 at age 48, was a prolific writer who completed eight novels and hundreds of stories, most famously “The Lottery." She left behind a substantial amount of unfinished and/or unpublished work, some of which Hyman and his sister Sarah Hyman Stewart helped compile for the posthumous collections “Just an Ordinary Day” and “Let Me Tell You.”
It was a household dedicated to the production of words; Jackson's husband, Stanley Edgar Hyman, was himself an author and New Yorker staff writer. Laurence Hyman has vivid memories of returning home and hearing his parents at work.
“She was a very rapid typist, and when the two of them were on their typewriters the sound was really percussive. It was like machine gun fire,” he said. “You would hear a flurry of typing, then a brief pause, then another flurry.”
Jackson scholar Darryl Hattenhauer, an associate professor of American Studies and English at Arizona State University West, believes the two pieces could have been starting points for longer narratives. But each work as stories in their own right, with a common theme of the outside world as perhaps best kept at a distance.
In “Charlie Porter,” the title character is never seen, but has left a pocket knife behind at the home of an unnamed couple. In just a few hundred words, during a dialogue about whom to invite for dinner, Jackson suggests a background of infidelity and mistrust, briefly alludes to a previous separation in the marriage and has the husband wonder about the need to have guests at all.
“Why do we have to know people anyway? Can’t we just be contented all alone?”
“We never are contented all alone,” the wife responds with a laugh. “We have to have people to annoy us.”
The title of “Only Stand and Wait” comes from a poem by John Milton, who laments his blindness — “my days in this dark world” — but accepts his fate and concludes "they also serve who only stand and wait.”
In Jackson's story, an unnamed man sits in his doctor's office, his eyes bandaged. Blind since birth, he is on the verge of seeing for the first time. But instead of feeling joy and gratitude, he worries that his lack of sight had somehow protected him.
“I’ll be right out in the world,” said the man. “I’ll be with everyone else, living with them, and seeing them too.”
Not even the doctor's promise to proceed slowly can reassure him.
“Don’t take the bandages off yet, doctor. Let me be for a little longer," he says. "Please, doctor. I think I want to be blind for a little longer.”
