RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The General Assembly is tabling for the year legislation intended to lure the Washington Commanders to Virginia, a top state lawmaker said Thursday.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Dick Saslaw said in a brief interview that there were too many issues to be resolved and controversies surrounding the NFL team for the legislation to proceed. It could be reintroduced next year, he said.
The team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The development came a day after an assistant coach for the team issued an apology after initially doubling down on a comparison he made on social media between the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and the protests in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd.

The remarks from Jack Del Rio, a former linebacker who now runs Washington’s defense, prompted a quick backlash. Several key lawmakers from northern Virginia who had previously supported the measure said publicly that they no longer backed the deal.
Legislation that would have offered the team lucrative tax incentives to help finance the stadium cleared both chambers this year, drawing an usual bipartisan mix of supporters. But other defectors had raised concerns even before Del Rio’s remarks, worrying about ongoing investigations into the team by attorneys general and Congress, plus transportation concerns.
“You've got the attorney general's thing, you've got all the congressional stuff, other issues to be answered. We decided that it will just remain in conference,” Saslaw said.
The team has been looking into new stadium possibilities for several years. It currently plays at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland.

MedVanta delivers time-tested, next-generation MSO strategies and solutions for independent orthopaedic and MSK practices to transform business operations
BETHESDA, Md., June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In the midst of soaring costs, industry-wide consolidation and encroachment from outside investors, a coalition of leading independent orthopaedic and musculoskeletal (MSK) specialists today announced the launch of MedVanta as a new path forward for private practices seeking to maintain their independence and preserve high-quality patient care. Now the nation's largest physician-owned and led organization of its kind, MedVanta's suite of solutions go beyond that of a traditional management services organization, and are designed by independent physicians, for independent physicians.
The more than 150 private practice physicians behind MedVanta are the same leaders who pioneered, in 2013, a new model of care with the launch of The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics (CAO), the second largest orthopaedic group in the country. CAO has a proven track record of reducing operating and musculoskeletal costs, improving patient experience and outcomes, and embracing technology to create higher practice efficiency as well as participate and succeed in value-based care payment models. This innovative group is now expanding on its unique model and offering it to private practice MSK groups across the country.
"When we launched CAO, it was in direct response to the headwinds facing private practice medicine, threatening its very survival. Since that point, those challenges have only accelerated," said Dr. Nicholas Grosso, President of MedVanta and CAO. "With the launch of MedVanta, we're offering our proven model to other like-minded physicians who want to remain independent to best serve patients. As a truly physician owned company, we are not beholden to outside investor influence, and our leadership team shares a commitment to enabling superior, patient-first care."
In a national healthcare landscape that is increasingly becoming dominated by corporations and financiers, MedVanta is committed to preserving and revolutionizing independent private practice medicine. Its innovative, scalable and tailored solutions are customized for MSK practices and ancillaries. Private practice clients of MedVanta will have the opportunity to invest in the company.
"The impetus for forming MedVanta was the pivotal question – who should be the caretakers of the future of musculoskeletal care?," said Dr. Louis Levitt, Chief Medical Officer of MedVanta and Vice President and Secretary for CAO. "We feel strongly, and the data reinforces it, that the future of healthcare shouldn't be led by financiers and profit-driven corporations. MedVanta provides a new and bright path forward for independent MSK physicians."
MedVanta fully leverages CAO's successful business model, meticulously developed over a decade. Since CAO launched in 2013, its robust infrastructure and proprietary resources have delivered on its key objectives to:
- Retain independence
- Enhance patient experience and outcomes
- Reduce costs, with 20-30% savings in supply costs and up to 40% malpractice savings
- Increase revenue, with significant growth every year since inception
- Expand market share
- Improve provider quality of life
"MedVanta is the natural evolution of The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics," said Dr. Subir Jossan, Chief Transformation Officer of MedVanta and Treasurer for CAO. "We can now offer our transformative business model to independent MSK providers across the nation, helping to create a new era where private practice medicine will not only survive, but thrive in the ever-changing healthcare landscape. We look forward to collaborating with the full healthcare ecosystem – payers, employers, health systems, primary and urgent care providers, medical device manufacturers, pharma and even MedTech companies – to expand access to high-quality, cost-effective patient care throughout the communities we serve."
MedVanta is the nation's largest physician-owned and operated musculoskeletal management services organization (MSO) designed by independent physicians, for independent physicians. Understanding the future of MSK care lies in independent private practice medicine, MedVanta provides the people, processes, technology and solutions to transform business results and adapt to industry disruption. Founded by the same physicians that successfully pioneered a new model for private practice orthopaedic care, MedVanta offers a better path forward for private practices in a landscape dominated by corporations and financiers.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A longtime juvenile parole officer plans to plead guilty Thursday to possessing child pornography and trying to send a sexually explicit photo to a child, according to court documents.
A plea agreement filed in federal court calls for Jason Ellis, of Derry, to be sentenced to 11 years in prison on the two charges, with prosecutors dropping a third charge of distributing child pornography. A hearing is scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
Ellis was fired from his juvenile parole job in February, a week after his arrest and 2½ years after being placed on suspension. He also had worked at New Hampshire’s state-run youth detention center, where he has been accused in a lawsuit of abusing a teenage boy.
According to an FBI affidavit, Ellis sent online messages in 2020 and 2021 to undercover investigators posing as a 13-year-old girl and her father. Investigators say he expressed interest in having sex with the girl and sent her an explicit photo in February 2021.
According to the plea agreement, Ellis also appeared to have chatted online with children as young as age 14, frequently sending explicit photos and sometimes soliciting nude images.
Ellis began his state employment in 2003 as a counselor at the Youth Development Center in Manchester. In 2005, he became a juvenile probation and parole officer, while also working part time at the youth center from 2011-2012.
In 2017, he was fired over allegations that he used his state computer for personal email and spent “an inordinate amount of time on the internet for personal reasons,” according to the state personnel appeals board. He was reinstated after an appeal.
The timing of Ellis’ suspension coincides with the launching of a broad criminal investigation into the Youth Development Center, now called the Sununu Youth Services Center.
Eleven former workers were arrested last year, and nearly 450 former residents have sued the state based on a llegations involving more than 150 staffers from 1963 to 2018.
Most of the lawsuits are nearly identical and include few specifics other than the timeframe of the alleged abuse and the names of those accused. One of them accuses Ellis and another former employee of unspecified abuse involving a teenage boy between 2003 and 2006. They are not formal defendants in the case, however, but rather are identified within the lawsuit. | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Former-juvenile-parole-officer-to-plead-guilty-to-17230237.php | 2022-06-09T16:29:01Z | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Former-juvenile-parole-officer-to-plead-guilty-to-17230237.php | true | 12 |
Memorabilia Shop Burglarized, Rare MJ Rookie Card Stolen, Surveillance Video Shows
Sports Memorabilia Shop Burglarized, Rare MJ Rookie Card Stolen ... Surveillance Video Shows
6/9/2022 8:45 AM PT
A Chicago memorabilia shop was burglarized on Memorial Day and rare sports cards -- including high-priced 1986 Michael Jordan rookie cards -- were stolen ... and the heist was all caught on camera.
According to the Chicago Police Dept., the store was robbed on May 31 at 3:44 AM when a male suspect removed metal bars from the business and broke in through a back window.
When the suspect made entry, cops say he stole several items and fled on foot.
The business's owner, Ronnie Holloway, released video from inside of the store at the time of the theft this week -- showing a man behind the counter rummaging through a ton of sports cards.
Holloway tells TMZ Sports the suspect got away with over $100k worth of merchandise ... including an unopened Fleer packet of MJ rookie cards -- which he says is worth $25k alone. Holloway added that other rare cards of Babe Ruth, Larry Bird, Jackie Robinson and Walter Payton were also taken.
"These are high-end cards," Holloway said. "Trying to replace it is gonna be hard -- vintage cards can't be replaced."
Holloway tells us he believes the suspect scoped out his place a few days before the heist ... saying, "He knew where they were. He must've planned this out."
"Over the holiday weekend, too, so perfect opportunity. Well-orchestrated."
Holloway -- who's owned the store for 30 years -- has put out a $10,000 reward for "an arrest or conviction of this person."
Police say the investigation is ongoing and no one is in custody at this time. | https://www.tmz.com/2022/06/09/chicago-sports-cards-michael-jordan-stolen-surveillance-video/ | 2022-06-09T16:29:12Z | https://www.tmz.com/2022/06/09/chicago-sports-cards-michael-jordan-stolen-surveillance-video/ | true | 1 |
Case dropped against Canadian bureaucrat accused of leaking secret documents
Crown prosecutor's case fell apart after prime witness testified he could not remember key detail
The Crown has dropped its case against a federal bureaucrat who was accused of leaking secret cabinet documents about a $700-million shipbuilding contract.
Matthew Matchett walked out of an Ottawa courthouse a free man after Justice Hugh McLean informed the jury hearing the breach of trust case about the Crown's decision.
The surprise development came on the fourth day of what was expected to be a four-week trial.
Matchett was charged in 2019, accused of leaking documents related to a shipbuilding deal between Quebec shipyard Chantier Davie and the federal government.
The leak was alleged to have occurred in 2015, when the newly elected Liberal government decided to hold off finalizing a contract with Davie to lease a temporary supply ship for the navy.
The Crown's case fell apart after its prime witness, longtime lobbyist Brian Mersereau, testified that he could not remember if Matchett had provided him with a secret memo to cabinet.
Crown prosecutor Mark Covan's decision to stay the charge today comes more than three years after the Crown's case against vice-admiral Mark Norman was also dropped. | https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/charges-dropped-against-matthew-matchett-1.6482895?cmp=rss | 2022-06-09T16:29:14Z | https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/charges-dropped-against-matthew-matchett-1.6482895?cmp=rss | true | 2 |

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — 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.
In South Africa, the president may be removed from office by a vote of no confidence by Parliament. | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/South-African-president-grilled-in-Parliament-on-17230405.php | 2022-06-09T16:32:03Z | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/South-African-president-grilled-in-Parliament-on-17230405.php | true | 16 |
Britain’s stinkiest cities revealed – where does yours rank?
FORMER deputy PM John Prescott’s home city of Hull is the stinkiest place in the country, according to a smell study.
It has a rank record on CO2 emissions, fly tipping, congestion, smoking, odour complaints and water pollution.
The city has some of the worst traffic delays in the country, with the average journey held up by 83 seconds per mile, contributing to air pollution.
It has seen 66 odour complaints in a year, 23 cases of fly tipping and 24 of water pollution, according to the new data.
The city also boasts a high level of smokers — 17.2 per cent of adults.
Ex-Labour bigwig Prescott, 84, who was nicknamed Two Jags during his time in ministerial office, held the Kingston upon Hull East seat for 40 years until 2010.
Now Baron Prescott, he once caused a stink himself by smothering a veggie curry with baked beans in a Commons canteen.
Maidstone in Kent was the next smelliest place, much of it down to sewage pollution, says money.co.uk, which sent Freedom of Information requests to 71 boroughs.
Third place went to ballroom dancing Mecca Blackpool.
Cheltenham, Middlesbrough, Wolverhampton, Ipswich and York were the best smellers. | https://www.thesun.ie/news/8921587/britains-worst-smelling-city/ | 2022-06-09T16:36:37Z | https://www.thesun.ie/news/8921587/britains-worst-smelling-city/ | true | 4 |

Sue Barker will retire as presenter of the BBC’s Wimbledon coverage at the end of this year’s tournament after 30 years, the broadcaster has announced.
The former French Open winner, 66, said: “What a wonderful time I’ve had working on some of the biggest sporting events around the world.
“I will miss it terribly but after 30 years I feel the time is right for me. I’ve worked with the best of the best.”
Barker was the last British woman to win the French Open in 1976.
BBC director-general Tim Davie said: “Sue Barker has been the face and voice of Wimbledon for three decades.
“Many of our viewers will not know of a summer in SW19 without her. She is a consummate professional, an outstanding presenter and a wonderful colleague, loved by current and former players, all of us at the BBC and audiences across the UK and beyond.
“Her contribution to tennis, the BBC, sports presenting and for blazing a trail for women in broadcasting cannot be overstated. We are looking forward to her leading our coverage, with all the style, warmth and knowledge she has displayed for the last 30 years, and we will say farewell with heavy hearts at the end of the tournament.”
Barbara Slater, director of BBC Sport, added: “Sue is a national treasure and we’d have loved for her to continue in her role for many years to come.
“We do of course respect her decision and understand why, after 30 years of leading Wimbledon presentation, she’s ready to make this year her last. We thank Sue for the remarkable contribution she has made to sports broadcasting during what has been a truly extraordinary and illustrious career.
“A consummate professional who audiences will remember for her skill, authority and warmth on screen, Sue will be equally remembered with fondness and affection by colleagues who had the privilege to work alongside her, experiencing the same professionalism and warmth behind the scenes.” | https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/06/09/sue-barker-announces-retirement-from-wimbledon-coverage-after-30-years/ | 2022-06-09T16:40:32Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/06/09/sue-barker-announces-retirement-from-wimbledon-coverage-after-30-years/ | false | 14 |
Pakistan’s government has finally mustered the courage to raise oil prices in the country. The first hike was announced in May, more than a month after the new government took over, and the next raise came on June 2.
Pakistan is already in political disaster mode and is experiencing a balance-of-payments crisis. Was the government’s fear of raising prices rational? Should the country be more afraid of impending rises in the price of oil or its non-availability or both? Just before its exit, the Imran Khan government had brought down oil prices, a move which the next administration was reluctant to reverse. Should the country feel lucky at this purported benevolence of its leaders?
We do not live in a world of fairy tales. There is no goose laying golden eggs. Oil is extracted after monumental exploration, huge investment and the challenging work of drilling. Often there is a disappointment when no oil is found. When prospectors drill 10 wells, oil or gas is struck in only one. This is the world average.
The country is incredibly lucky as its investors struck oil in one out of four wells. Despite this advantage, Pakistan’s indigenous production of crude oil was only around 77,000 barrels per day during the fiscal year 2020 (the yearly total was 28.1 million barrels). Pakistan imported 6.7 million tonnes of crude oil. Both indigenous and imported crude were processed in Pakistan’s refineries to produce petroleum products of 9.7 million tonnes.
Elite capture
Pakistan’s consumption of petroleum products (diesel, petrol and hi-octane) was 17.3 million tonnes. Pakistan imported 7.5 million tonnes in fiscal year 20 to meet its needs, according to the Pakistan Energy Yearbook 2020. This import quantum was 10.9 million tonnes, according to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, and cost $4.7 billion.
The data discrepancy aside, the crucial point is that the international price of oil varied between $22 to $66 per barrel in fiscal year 20 compared to $78 to $110 per barrel in fiscal year 22 representing a rise of 67% in two years.
Pakistan’s consumption of crude and refined petroleum products has also risen. Consequently, Pakistan’s import bill of petroleum group (crude, refined, LPG, LNG) has already reached $14.5 billion for the period July to April (fiscal year 22) compared with $7.6 billion in the corresponding period in fiscal year 21. Price effect dominates in this bill, but the import quantum that could reveal the exact price and quantum effects has yet to be compiled.
So, Pakistan’s government had until now been buying oil at expensive rates and selling it cheaply. One does not have to be smart to see this folly. By keeping domestic oil prices low, the government had implicitly been doling out its borrowed resources to the comparatively rich consumers of oil.
Indeed, poor consumers also benefited as they indirectly used oil by riding buses, as they owned neither cars nor motorbikes. But the non-poor were receiving needless and shameful charity. In the context of Pakistan’s economy, this is not just the story of subsidy through oil prices, which fuels consumption and benefits the rich, it is also about the direct and indirect subsidies to sugar barons, textile barons, rural barons and real estate barons, creating a robber baron elite which has captured the real surplus value by exploiting human and other resources in Pakistan.
Many ordinary Pakistanis may not have heard the term “elite capture”, but they know what it is as they are the ones who are suffering the most because of it.
How are these surplus values created? Take the example of real estate as this is the predominant system in the capture of surplus value in Pakistan. Poor people have neither land nor money. The not so poor may have some bequeathed land if not money. Shrewd barons buy land lots cheaply and sell them at high rates, producing almost nothing in the process except exorbitant profits for themselves on which taxes are easily evaded.
I need not dwell on who the real estate barons are. Suffice it to say that most of them are the worst among the robber barons because they are unproductive. Even sugar barons seem better because they produce something. The same goes for other industrial barons.
Cutting down dependency
What is noteworthy here is that the prices of goods play a key role in creating value. The rise in sugar price incentivises sugar producers to produce more. The rise in sugar cane incentivises farmers to grow more sugar cane. While the consumers suffer, producers and investors gain because of the rise in prices. Irrespective of whether the price increase is market-driven or manipulated, this is a boon for producers and a bane for consumers.
We need to see the rise in international oil prices in this context also, even as we lament its impact on family and government budgets. Elevated crude oil prices increase the profitability of exploration and drilling. Not only does the likelihood of new investments in the petroleum sector rise, more extraction of oil also becomes possible.
In this way, the price increase gives an opportunity to Pakistan to incrementally move towards self-sufficiency with less dependency on imports. This analysis applies equally to wheat prices. Higher wheat prices are disliked by consumers, but growers like higher prices.
Therefore, the government has a system of support prices to persuade farmers to grow more wheat. Will international oil prices remain elevated in the near future? Had the war in Ukraine not occurred, oil prices would not have risen much. Is the conflict in Ukraine likely to end soon? The history of past conflicts tells us otherwise.
Hence, it would be better to assume elevated future prices of oil and wheat (30% of the world trade in wheat involves Russia and Ukraine). Keeping oil or wheat prices low (through subsidies) in this situation is counterproductive and can reduce the output of oil and wheat.
Moreover, the Pakistani government does not have gold coins to distribute. It has, therefore, wisely though reluctantly, allowed domestic oil prices to rise. It should now focus its energies on ending the remaining subsidies, strengthening the balance-of-payments position and shoring up its reserves.
According to Shakespeare, “Things done well and with a care, exempt themselves from fear.”

"Of Medicine and Miracles" details the journey of a team of doctors and a family who came together on the leading edge of a cancer cure
PHILADELPHIA, June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The behind-the-scenes story detailing the pursuit of a transformative cancer cure will unfold onscreen at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City this weekend. "Of Medicine and Miracles," which will premiere during the renowned international festival, is an emotional journey, revealing decades of research – and one young patient's family's last hopes to save their daughter – that culminated in the world's first CAR T-cell therapy, an approach that reprograms patients' own immune cells to kill their cancer.
From Oscar-winning director Ross Kauffman and Oscar-nominated producer Robin Honan, the documentary follows three paths which come together in what became a pivotal moment in cancer history. The film traces the life and work of physician-scientist Carl June, MD, whose vision laid the path for the revolutionary therapy, and the team of doctors and researchers at Penn Medicine and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) who joined forces over laboratory benches and hospital beds to architect the bold approach to treating patients who'd run out of conventional options. Their paths crossed in 2012 with a six-year-old leukemia patient Emily Whitehead, whose family was hoping for a lifesaving miracle when they joined the clinical trial at CHOP that would make her the first child to receive the experimental treatment, which had previously been tested in just a small handful of adults at Penn Medicine's Abramson Cancer Center.
Told "through bracingly honest interviews and home videos," Tribeca Film Festival Director Cara Cusumano called the film "a tear-jerking, heart-racing record of medical history that honors its subjects and their trauma while empowering future generations to attempt the impossible."
"Of Medicine and Miracles" was 10 years in the making, building on the 2012 short film "Fire with Fire," which went viral after being posted on Upworthy, a website dedicated to positive storytelling.
In addition to Carl June, who is the director of the Center for Cellular Immunotherapies and the Richard W. Vague Professor in Immunotherapy, "Of Medicine and Miracles" also features Penn Medicine's Bruce Levine, PhD, the Barbara and Edward Netter Professor in Cancer Gene Therapy and the Founding Director of the Clinical Cell and Vaccine Production Facility, and David Porter, MD, director of Cell Therapy and Transplantation in the Abramson Cancer Center and the Jodi Fischer Horowitz Professor in Leukemia Care Excellence. Children's Hospital of Philadelphia physicians Stephan Grupp, MD, PhD, Section Chief of the Cellular Therapy and Transplant Section and Inaugural Director of the Susan S. and Stephen P. Kelly Center for Cancer Immunotherapy, and Susan Rheingold, MD, Medical Director of the Oncology Outpatient Clinic are also highlighted.
Kauffman's documentary film credits include the Oscar-winning "Born into Brothels," "E-TEAM," and "Tigerland." Honan received an Oscar nomination for the documentary "Mondays at Racine" and co-produced the Oscar-winning "Freeheld."

The murder of football player Senzo Meyiwa in 2014 and its protracted and controversial police investigation involving high profile figures in the South African music industry continues to make headlines in South Africa. Five men are on trial for allegedly murdering the national team captain and goalkeeper.
Recent events in the criminal trial have shone the spotlight on the use of language from a perspective of legal practitioners, judicial officers, police officers and courtroom interpretation.
Both the advocate for the accused as well as a state witness experienced linguistic challenges – they were seen to be struggling with the language in court. This was no fault of their own but due to a restrictive language policy that favours English as the main language in court. In one instance the judge halted proceedings and urged a state witness – forensic detective Sergeant Thabo Mosia – to ask for a Sesotho language interpreter, which he agreed to. The only interpretation in court had been in the isiZulu language. The country has 11 official languages.
Related article:
Language is the most important component of courtroom proceedings, yet it is assumed that English is the only language through which communication can take place. This is inconsistent with the ideals and rights contained in the South African constitution and the fact that the country is multilingual – an aspect that should be celebrated.
As forensic and legal linguists we focus on the language issues plaguing our legal system, especially when evidence is being imparted. The Meyiwa case is not unique in shedding light on the country’s courtroom language challenges. But through it we see the need for mindful legal practitioners and judicial officers who are sensitive to the language complexities that exist
Language prejudice in courtrooms
It is a human condition that we judge each other based on the use of language vocabulary, accent, tone and language sensitivity. When you open your mouth people naturally make value judgements and attach psychological labels, these being either positive or negative and thereby influencing their response.
In another example from the trial, Advocate Malesela Teffo, the advocate for the accused, was at a loss for English vocabulary which resulted in various types of language prejudice coming into play. It also resulted in Judge Tshifhiwa Maumela laughing when the advocate ran out of words.
This relates to subjective and strictly linguistic inequality: how we judge people based on their lack of words and on the basis of how they speak and their level of speech. Such judgements can often be unreliable.
The country’s Legal Practice Act and Legal Practice Council fail to address the language question for courtroom communication. They don’t address the language qualifications and competencies of South African legal practitioners and future judicial officers. The legislative and policy frameworks reinforce the English only status quo. Legal practitioners and judicial officers who do not speak English as their mother tongue are often required to first think of vocabulary before even posing a question to the witness. This was clearly the case with Advocate Teffo.
We notice the ease with which Advocate Teffo was able to formulate and pose the question in his mother tongue and this should be embraced within courtroom discourse. Instead, policies and legislation dictate otherwise and impose a language on the practitioner without thinking of the consequences. Specifically during examination in chief and cross-examination is the phrasing and use of language important for a witness and could result in an alternative answer being provided.
Cultural and linguistic concepts within the South African context are often not explainable and are often not even translatable in English. An example would be the psychological state of amafufunyana, a state of being inexplicable in Western psychology. Or the word adoption, for which there is no equivalence in the Nguni languages. There is sexual terminology also considered taboo in African culture and creating linguistic challenges in court. You think best and speak best in your mother tongue, where there is a clear link between language and culture.
This should be the point of departure in any legal context, where language is law and law is language.
Problematic language-of-record policy
Policy dictates the use of English as the official language for record purposes. Where an interpreter is used the English interpretation is recorded. The direct words and sentiments of the witness are not recorded. The English only language of record policy was said to have been practical according to the Heads of Courts in 2017.
However, in the Meyiwa case we see that when implemented the policy is questionable. A one size fits all language policy in a multilingual country such as South Africa may not necessarily be practical and definitely not transformative.
The policy also hinders legal practitioners, judicial officers and witnesses from proceeding in a language other than English where it is practical to do so. This places sole reliance on interpretation services in our courts.
The importance of the court interpreter
The Meyiwa case also highlights the needs for interpreters where indigenous languages are to be used. Unfortunately, we have a shortage of skilled, qualified and competent court interpreters in South Africa.
Interpreters are not merely translating words between people for the record of the court, but rather are tasked with finding equivalence between two languages and two cultures in the case of English and an African language. The legal terminology that court interpreters require suggests the need for appropriate academic qualifications and training which are presently lacking.
Police as transpreters (translators + interpreters)
The English language of record policy and the South African Police service language policy dictate that police officers need no language qualifications, competencies or training. Yet they are required to record statements in English where complainants are more than often not English mother tongue speakers.
Related article:
Police officers are therefore interpreting between themselves and complainants and then translating into English for the written statement – acting as a transpreter without the requisite knowledge or qualifications. There are instances where police officers suffer linguistic prejudice, where English vocabulary fails them – as in the case of the state witness and the interpreter in the Meyiwa trial.
A way forward
The first aspect that needs urgent attention and revision is the monolingual language of record policy for courts. It needs to include all official languages on the basis of provincial language demographics to ensure practicality.
Secondly, to empower legal practitioners, judicial officers and police officers through training programmes and other language qualifications. Legislation and policies need to be more inclusive, fostering a multilingual rather than a monolingual approach.
These require the facilitation of forensic and legal linguists to assist government and the judiciary with the aid of new technologies formulated by forensic linguists.
Furthermore, forensic linguists can assist in the retraining of legal practitioners, judicial officers and interpreters to be more mindful of the language complexities in courtroom discourse. The research has been conducted by forensic and legal linguists, with the next step being the implementation of these strategies.

FY23 budget: products to pay more and less for
Staff Correspondent, bdnews24.com
Published: 09 Jun 2022 10:19 PM BdST Updated: 09 Jun 2022 10:19 PM BdST
Prices of some products are set to rise while some others will see a decline with changes in taxes proposed in the budget for the fiscal year 2022-23.
Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal revealed the plan during his budget speech in parliament on Thursday.
PRODUCTS THAT MAY GET CHEAPER
· Sugar and puffed rice: VAT exemption at the trading stage for sugar and puffed rice.
· Wheat gluten: cut in import duty on the product from 25 percent to 15 percent in order to reduce the cost of production in the livestock industry and ensure the supply of protein at low a cost.
· Mobile phone batteries, chargers and interactive displays: VAT exemption at manufacturing stage for mobile phone batteries, chargers and interactive displays for the development of the local information technology and computer industry.
· Power tiller: VAT exemption at manufacturing and trading stage for power tiller.
· Braille: VAT exemption on braille printing materials for visually impaired people.
· Air-zinc battery for hearing aid: reduction of applicable duty on air-zinc battery used in the special device for hearing impaired people.

· Cashew nuts: in order to develop the cashew nut processing industry in the country and to create a new export sector, it has been proposed to reduce the tariff on import of raw cashew nuts.
· Polythene bags: withdrawal of 5 percent supplementary duty on all types of polythene bags, plastic bags (including oven plastic bags) and wrapping materials made of polyethylene.
PRODUCTS THAT MAY GET COSTLIER
· Mobile phone sets: withdrawal of the existing 5 percent VAT exemption at the trading stage of mobile phone sets.
· COVID-19 equipment: withdrawal of VAT exemption at manufacturing and trading stage of COVID-19 test kit, PPE, protective garments, plastic face shields, medical protective gear, protective spectacles, and goggles for medical use and mask.
· GI fittings: 20 percent supplementary duty on imported GI fittings to ensure protection of domestic industry.
· Cheese: 20
percent supplementary duty on import of cheese.
· Wire: Since different types of wires are almost homogeneous, it is difficult during assessment to distinguish between them. Therefore, to bring parity, it has been proposed to increase the existing import duty on the import of both the products from 5 percent to 10 percent.
· Motorcycles: 100 percent supplementary duty in case of import of four stroke and 250 percent supplementary duty in case of import of two stroke motorcycles with engine capacity above 250 cc.
· Electric motor: There is 10 percent import duty on electric motors up to 750 watts. Such motors are now being produced in the country. It has been proposed to increase the import duty from 10 percent to 15 percent for electric motors up to 750 watts to protect the local industry.
· Gas lighter: In order to protect the domestic industry, a proposal has been made to impose 10 percent supplementary duty on the import of gas lighters. Similarly, it has been proposed to increase the import duty on parts of lighter from 10 percent to 25 percent.
· Solar
panel: At present, zero percent import duty is applicable on solar panel
imports. In view of the application of the domestic solar sector, it has been
proposed to increase the existing import duty on imported solar panels from 0
percent to 1 percent.
· Cellular phone battery charger: proposal
to increase the import duty on cellular phone battery charger from 15 percent
to 25 percent in order to further develop the domestic cellular phone
manufacturing industry.

Execution of the MIAT College of Technology program expansion drives growth and diversification, gives students additional training opportunities for in-demand careers
PHOENIX, June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Technical Institute (UTI) is executing on the next phase of its growth and diversification strategy by adding 15 new programs across its campus footprint, including Aviation, HVACR, Robotics, Industrial Maintenance and Wind Energy Technician training to UTI and NASCAR Technical Institute (NTI) branded campuses, and initiating efforts to add Auto and Diesel Essentials to the MIAT Canton, Michigan campus.
With the recent acquisition of the MIAT College of Technology, and the subsequent integration largely completed, the company is implementing its plan to introduce MIAT programs to its UTI and NTI institutions. This will increase the size of UTI's addressable market as the organization evolves into becoming a trusted industry-aligned workforce solutions partner with industry and learners.
"Through the disciplined execution of our growth and diversification strategy we continue to expand access to our industry-aligned programs," said UTI CEO Jerome Grant. "This is a boon for our students, our industry and investment community stakeholders. Expanding the breadth of our career focused training programs will give prospective students more choices in their post high school educational journey and will allow us to serve a broader population of learners and employers seeking strong workforce and training partners and solutions. Universal Technical Institute's longer-term strategic roadmap includes the MIAT program expansions and a more than doubling of the acquired business as a result. This, in addition to our recently announced intent to acquire Concorde Career Colleges, results in substantial increases in our estimated future revenue and profitability. As previously stated, we currently estimate that fiscal 2025 revenue will exceed $700 million with an estimated adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 20%."
UTI has four pillars to its growth and diversification strategy: new campuses, program expansions, inorganic growth, and business model extension. UTI's new blended learning approach, which includes virtual learning and on-campus lab and classroom instruction, has allowed for further optimization or consolidation of its campus footprints to make room for new programs.
Pending all regulatory approvals, the initial planned program additions are projected to begin launching in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, with the final planned programs launching by the end of 2024. At this time, the majority of the programs have received the necessary state and accreditor approvals, with approvals pending from the Department of Education for all programs, and also the Federal Aviation Administration for the aviation programs.
Projected program launches include (listed in alphabetical order by campus):
- UTI-Austin: HVACR
- UTI-Avondale: Aviation
- UTI-Exton: Robotics and Automation

- UTI-Sacramento: Wind Power, Industrial Maintenance, and Robotics and Automation
- NTI-Mooresville: Robotics and Automation
- MIAT-Canton: Auto and Diesel Essentials
"Acquiring MIAT has allowed us to identify substantial growth synergies and accelerated our program and geographic diversification in transportation, renewables and skilled trades," continued Grant. "We have also continued taking other steps in executing our growth and diversification strategy this year. We have begun implementing our electric vehicle strategy, opened a new UTI campus in Austin, Texas, added a new welding program at NASCAR Technical Institute, and announced the agreement to acquire Concorde Career College. This summer, we anticipate opening our 16th campus, located in Miramar, Florida and another welding program at our UTI-Exton campus."
For more information on UTI's growth and diversification strategy, see the most recent presentation on its investor relations website.
Non-GAAP Measures
UTI defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and adjusted for items not considered as part of the company's normal recurring operations. UTI defines estimated adjusted EBITDA margin as estimated adjusted EBITDA over estimated revenue. We choose to disclose this non-GAAP financial measure because it provides an additional performance measure. Since the items excluded from these measures are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance under GAAP, these measures should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance or profitability.

Auction gathers horse-lovers from across divided Libya
Misrata – A trainer walks a mare around a grassy pen under the gaze of potential buyers from across Libya, where passion for horses is undimmed despite years of violence.
The three-day auction in the Mediterranean city of Misrata found homes for 96 of some 150 horses on sale.
And despite years of conflict and division since the fall of dictator Moamer Kadhafi in 2011, breeders and buyers from across Libya were able to attend.
“There were horses from the west, the east and the south — from every city in the country,” said Hussein Shaka, one of the organisers.
Equestrianism has a prominent place in Libya as in other parts of the Arab world, with weekly horse races as well as shows and parades.
Libyan horse-lovers have managed to keep their traditions alive, including the crafts of making saddles and tack — and breeding pedigree chargers.
“I present you with Labaris,” the auctioneer said enthusiastically, as a carefully groomed brown stallion was led around the show pen by a handler in a white T-shirt.
Prospective buyers in the all-male audience held up numbered wooden plaques to place their bids.
The highest price of $8,000 went to an off-white mare who, according to the auctioneer, “has run in 21 races in France, taking first, second and third places”.
Dozens of buyers sat on white plastic chairs around the sun-drenched show pen as the auctioneer extolled the virtues of the beasts on show from a small stage.
The auction was in Misrata, 200 kilometres (125 miles) east of Tripoli and hometown of both interim Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah and his rival Fathi Bashagha, who heads an administration currently based further east in Sirte.
The first day was devoted to ponies and foals, the second to mares and the last to stallions, said Shakan, who wore a traditional black embroidered vest and a white cap.
The auction’s catalogue included both English pedigrees and pure-breed Arabians, famous for their beauty, speed and stamina.
“Auctions should be encouraged in Libya to improve European horse breeds as well as local breeding,” said breeder Ali al-Himaidi. | https://www.iraqinews.com/lifestyle/auction-gathers-horse-lovers-from-across-divided-libya/ | 2022-06-09T17:00:03Z | https://www.iraqinews.com/lifestyle/auction-gathers-horse-lovers-from-across-divided-libya/ | false | 4 |
USC executive senior associate athletic director Brandon Sosna is leaving the athletic department for a front office job with the Detroit Lions, a source confirmed Thursday.
Sosna, 29, arrived at USC in 2019 alongside athletic director Mike Bohn, whom he worked with at Cincinnati. During his tenure at USC, Sosna played a major role in revitalizing the athletic department, including an overhaul of operations and support staff for the football department in an effort to make it competitive with other national programs.
Following the firing of Clay Helton last fall, Sosna ran point alongside Bohn in the coaching search that resulted in the hiring of Lincoln Riley away from Oklahoma.
Sosna interviewed last summer for a position for the Lions, who employ John Dorsey as a senior personnel executive. Sosna worked under Dorsey with the Cleveland Browns from 2017-18 before taking his job at Cincinnati.
Like last summer, USC made an aggressive pitch to keep Sosna in Los Angeles, but the pull of a future in the NFL was too great for him to resist this time around. | https://www.pe.com/2022/06/09/usc-associate-ad-brandon-sosna-leaving-for-detroit-lions/ | 2022-06-09T17:01:25Z | https://www.pe.com/2022/06/09/usc-associate-ad-brandon-sosna-leaving-for-detroit-lions/ | false | 10 |

This is not a rare occurrence on Rajendra Setu bridge. Many robbers hang from the bridge with all the safety measures.

Robbers hanging from railings of the bridge snatch phones from passengers in the blink of an eye and they are not able to do anything from a moving train. | https://www.india.com/viral/viral-video-bihar-begusarai-robber-hanging-from-bridge-snatches-phone-from-train-passenger-5444214/ | 2022-06-09T17:03:53Z | https://www.india.com/viral/viral-video-bihar-begusarai-robber-hanging-from-bridge-snatches-phone-from-train-passenger-5444214/ | false | 1 |

By BERNAT ARMANGUÉ and YURAS KARMANAU
BAKHMUT, Ukraine — Russian forces pounded an eastern Ukrainian city Thursday and the two sides waged pitched street battles that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said could determine the fate of the critical Donbas region.
Meanwhile, Russia claimed that it struck a training facility far from the front lines, west of the capital.
In the wake of a series of setbacks in the 3-month-old war, Russia set its sights on the industrial Donbas region of coal mines and factories, where Moscow-backed separatists have been fighting Ukrainian troops for years and where they already held swaths of territory before the invasion.
But, as elsewhere, the Russian advance has not been as quick as expected, and the plodding battle for control of Sievierodonetsk has devolved into street-to-street fighting that has been relatively rare in the conflict.
“Fierce battles continue in the city itself, street battles are taking place with varied success in city blocks,” Luhansk governor Serhiy Haidai told The Associated Press. “The army of Ukraine is fighting for every street and house.”
Separately Thursday, Russia’s Defense Ministry said it used air-launched missiles against a Ukrainian military base in the Zhytomyr region, to the west of Kyiv, alleging that mercenaries were being trained there.
There was no immediate comment from Ukrainian authorities to the Russian claims. Moscow has repeatedly accused Ukraine of using mercenaries in the fighting. Foreigners have fought as part of Ukraine’s regular military and some have joined volunteer brigades, but it’s unclear whether they’re mercenaries.
Zhytomyr has periodically suffered missile strikes — but the vast majority of fighting and attacks have been concentrated in Ukraine’s east.
Late Wednesday, Zelenskyy called the painstaking, inch-by-inch fight for Sievierodonetsk the “epicenter” of the battle for the Donbas and perhaps one of the most difficult battles of the war. The city is one of the last yet to be taken by the Russians in Luhansk, one of the two regions that make up the Donbas.
“In many ways, it is there that the fate of our Donbas is being decided,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address, which was recorded in the street outside his office in Kyiv.
Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to Zelenskyy’s office, said Tuesday that Russian forces have changed their tactics in the battle, retreating from Sievierodonetsk, while pounding it with artillery and airstrikes — without any particular success.
They are also targeting the neighboring city of Lysychansk with “day and night shelling,” as well as trying to storm the key road connecting Lysychansk and Bakhmut to the southwest, he said.
Evidence of the enormous human cost of the war mounted as workers pulled up to 100 bodies from each smashed building in the devastated city of Mariupol — a gruesome effort that one official described as an “endless caravan of death.”
Petro Andryushchenko, a mayoral aide in the Russian-held port city, said on the Telegram app that the bodies are being taken to a morgue, landfills and other places. At least 21,000 Mariupol civilians were killed during the weeks-long Russian siege, Ukrainian authorities have estimated.
Meanwhile, fears of a global food crisis escalated over Ukraine’s inability to export millions of tons of grain through its blockaded ports.

Blatter too ill to testify
The trial of former FIFA president Sepp Blatter and French soccer legend Michel Platini over alleged corrupt payments ground to a halt on Wednesday when Blatter said he was too ill to testify. Swiss prosecutors accuse the pair of unlawfully arranging a payment of 2 million Swiss francs (US$2.05 million at the current exchange rate) in 2011. Blatter and Platini both deny the charges. However, Blatter, looking frail during the hearing at the Federal Criminal Court in Bellinzona, said he was unable to address the court due to chest pains. Three judges are to hear the trial, which runs until June 22. If convicted, Platini and Blatter face up to five years in jail.
BOXING
Bullets fired at Huni home
The family home of Australian heavyweight boxer Justis Huni was hit by five bullets in a drive-by shooting, but nobody was harmed, his father said yesterday. Rocki Huni, also the boxer’s trainer, said the shooting happened just before 4am while 10 people, including his son, were in the house in Brisbane. “It was crazy because right where one of those shots went through is where we feed the baby early in the morning,” Rocki Huni told broadcaster Nine Network. Justis Huni was to represent Australia at last year’s Tokyo Olympics, but pulled out after injuring his hands in a knockout win over former National Rugby League player Paul Gallen.
FORMULA ONE
Gay driver welcome: Vettel
The sport would welcome an openly gay driver, Germany’s four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel said. There has been a push for diversity and inclusion, with teams showing support for the LGBTQ+ community. Aston Martin driver Vettel last year wore a rainbow-colored T-shirt in Hungary with the message “Same love,” to protest anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. The 34-year-old father of three has also competed with Racing Pride logos on his car. “Now I think a gay Formula One driver would be welcomed, and rightly so,” Vettel said in an interview with LGBTQ+ magazine Attitude that featured him on its cover.
NFL
Trans cheerleader to debut
The first openly transgender cheerleader in the NFL is to make her debut in September. Justine Lindsay, a 29-year-old black trans woman, is to cheer for the Carolina Panthers’ TopCats, BuzzFeed News reported. While there is not an official record of NFL cheerleaders hired throughout the league’s history, Lindsay appears to be the first openly transgender person. She announced her hiring in an Instagram post in March: “This is a moment I will never forget and I cannot wait to show you all what this girl has to bring. Thank you.”

Boxer dies from brain injury
Lightweight boxer Simiso Buthelezi, 24, died after suffering bleeding on the brain following a 10-round World Boxing Federation All-Africa bout against fellow South African Siphesihle Mntungwa in Durban on Sunday, Boxing South Africa said on Wednesday. The fight was halted by the referee when Buthelezi began throwing punches in the air during the final round. He was rushed to a local hospital and placed in an induced coma, but died on Tuesday. Trainer Bheki Mngomezulu said Buthelezi was perfectly healthy during the buildup to the bout.

Come By Chance town council to be reactivated following semi-successful nomination day
Placentia Bay town has been without any elected leadership for nearly 4 months
Come By Chance's town council will be reactivated following a nomination day that saw five residents — including one woman who was dismissed last year for an alleged violation of residency requirements — step forward as candidates, though two vacancies remain.
The town of just over 200 residents on Placentia Bay, on Newfoundland's southeast coast, has not had any elected leadership for nearly four months after the seven-member town council disintegrated amid controversy and dismissals following last September's general election.
A government-appointed administrator has been overseeing the affairs of the town since mid-March, and that will continue until the new council is sworn in, likely next week.
The five nominees who stepped forward Tuesday are Dave Boutcher, Carol Molloy, Mary Hodder, Nadine Baker and Trevor Hodder.
"I just want this community to hopefully get back to where it doesn't have to be in the public eye anymore because it's running properly and smoothly," said Trevor Hodder, a newcomer to municipal politics.
"It's been a great down. A great town to grow up in. It's a fortunate town. We have resources that other small towns don't. And we should be back to where we were in years past," he added.
Since the five town councillors will be acclaimed, an election scheduled for June 28 will not be necessary, though another call for nominations must be held within three months to fill the two remaining vacancies.
Molloy, meanwhile, is one of five town councillors whose seat was vacated in recent months. In her case, she was removed last fall because she did not meet residency requirements, town manager Colin Holloway told CBC News in February.
Under the Municipal Elections Act, a town councillor whose seat is vacated is prohibited from seeking re-election for a period of two years, but that doesn't apply in Molloy's situation, according to the Department of Municipal and Provincial Affairs.
"Vacation of a seat as a result of a councillor not meeting the residency requirement does not carry a two-year ban on running in an election, unlike the vacation of a seat due to conflict of interest," a department official wrote in a statement to CBC News.
Compliance with residency requirements of nominees is determined by the returning officer, said the statement.
"It is the department's understanding that Ms. Molloy now meets the residency requirements set out in the legislation."
Molloy has appealed her dismissal to Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court. She declined an interview request Wednesday and hasn't publicly said whether she plans to pursue that appeal. In a message on the town's Facebook page this week, she wrote that she's "looking forward to working with you all for the best interests of our town and fellow residents."
Come By Chance is located in a heavily industrialized area of the province, and grants in lieu of taxes swell the town's treasury to more than $1.2 million annually, making it one of the most prosperous small towns in the province.
But the normally quiet community has been making headlines for different reasons in recent months, highlighted by an implosion on council in February when four members — then mayor Keith Best, his son Matt Best, deputy mayor Ralph Slade and Lew Baker — were dismissed after an investigation determined they violated conflict of interest rules.
All four former councillors hired a lawyer and launched an appeal of their dismissals, and lobbied unsuccessfully for a waiver of the two-year prohibition rule in order to take part in this week's nomination.
Kim Downey resigned in December after taking up residence in another community, while the last member of council, Kathy Paul, quit amid an uproar on Feb. 15 after delivering the report that recommended the seats of her four fellow councillors be vacated.
"It's sad to see different parts of the town going at each other," said Hodder, who said he stepped forward in hopes of "getting some semblance of normalcy back to the town."
After they are sworn in, the five town councillors will decide among themselves who will serve as mayor. | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/municipal-election-come-by-chance-1.6481330?cmp=rss | 2022-06-09T17:17:05Z | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/municipal-election-come-by-chance-1.6481330?cmp=rss | true | 1 |
Vice President of India M Venkaiah Naidu launched the India-Qatar Startup Bridge at the India-Qatar Business Forum on Sunday (June 5).
The new initiative will connect the startup ecosystems of India and Qatar and help the economies of both countries flourish.
While addressing the event, Naidu highlighted the strength of India-Qatar ties and asked to build an enabling environment. He also mentioned that more collaborations should be formed for mutual benefit.
During the meeting, Naidu and Qatar’s prime minister Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz Al Thani also discussed the growing bilateral ties between the two nations in areas such as trade, investment, economic and security cooperation.
Naidu further talked about India’s commitment to deepen bilateral cooperation in trade, investment, energy, food security, defence, technology, culture, education, health, media and people-to-people contacts.
The three-day India-Qatar Business Forum is organised by FICCI, CII, ASSOCHAM and Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Various industrialists from India and Qatar also attended the event.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that the India-Qatar Business Forum will result in new networking opportunities for trade and investment between both sides. It also said that Qatar’s FDI in India is in excess of $450 Mn and there is great potential for increasing these investments.
The MEA said that the Invest India and Investment Promotion Agency of Qatar have reached an understanding on cooperation to promote two-way investments between both countries, as shared by the ministry.
The bilateral trade between the two countries crossed $15 Bn in FY 2021-22. In the past two years, Qatar has invested over $2 Bn into several Indian companies, according to the statement.

India presently has over 70,000 startups working in diverse sectors of the country, a massive plunge in the count of startups working in 2014 (300-400 startups were recorded in 2014), according to Jitendra Singh, the Union Minister of State and Commerce.
In May, India got its 100th unicorn – neobank startup Open that raised $50 Mn from IIFL, Temasek, Tiger Global, and 3one4 Capital.
According to a report, Indian startups raised $70 Bn in aggregate between 2014 to 2020 while, in the first four months of 2022, the startup ecosystem raised $14.3 Bn in funding that was a 2X rise compared to $7.33 Bn raised by Indian startups in Q1 2021.
In the beginning of 2022, the startup ecosystem saw massive growth however, the sector is plummeting downward owing to a market correction, impending recession, and financial crunch.
Indian startups are also borning the effects of the Russia war, increased federal interest rates and other geopolitical crises.
The new initiative will connect the startup ecosystems of India and Qatar and help the economies of both countries flourish.
While addressing the event, Naidu highlighted the strength of India-Qatar ties and asked to build an enabling environment. He also mentioned that more collaborations should be formed for mutual benefit.
During the meeting, Naidu and Qatar’s prime minister Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz Al Thani also discussed the growing bilateral ties between the two nations in areas such as trade, investment, economic and security cooperation.
Naidu further talked about India’s commitment to deepen bilateral cooperation in trade, investment, energy, food security, defence, technology, culture, education, health, media and people-to-people contacts.
The three-day India-Qatar Business Forum is organised by FICCI, CII, ASSOCHAM and Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Various industrialists from India and Qatar also attended the event.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that the India-Qatar Business Forum will result in new networking opportunities for trade and investment between both sides. It also said that Qatar’s FDI in India is in excess of $450 Mn and there is great potential for increasing these investments.
The MEA said that the Invest India and Investment Promotion Agency of Qatar have reached an understanding on cooperation to promote two-way investments between both countries, as shared by the ministry.

Scotland fans are all saying the same thing after Celtic hero Anthony Ralston enjoys star turn at Hampden
ANTHONY RALSTON made his mark for Scotland last night, bagging the opening goal in the 2-0 Nations League win over Armenia.
The Celtic star was handed his first international start by Steve Clarke and put in a tremendous shift at right back, being named man of the match.
The 23-year old's header on 28 minutes set Clarke's men on their way to victory, going at least a little way to easing the pain after last week's World Cup heartbreak against Ukraine.
His big national team moment caps off a remarkable career resurgence over the past year for Ralston.
After finding himself frozen out at Parkhead and being loaned out elsewhere, it looked like his time in Glasgow's east end could be coming to a close.
But how quickly things can change in football!
Ange Postecoglou quickly identified Ralston as a man who could play in his free-flowing, attack-minded system and the defender has never looked back.
29 appearances, 5 goals, a league title and a League Cup triumph have followed since the Aussie's appointment as Celtic boss.
His club form caught the attention of Scotland boss Clarke, and Ralston was called up for the first time in November, making his debut as a late sub in the crunch qualifier against Denmark.
Before last night, that was his only national team appearance.
Most read in Football
That all changed against Armenia, when he was handed his big moment.
With Nathan Patterson battling back from an injury, a chance opened up in the right back area.
Aaron Hickey was given that responsibility in the Ukraine defeat, and the Bologna youngster struggled.
Against Armenia, however, Ralston excelled, landing the man of the match award after a stellar 76 minutes.
The Celtic man's performance had fans all saying the same thing - he should have been given the nod against Ukraine, too!
Many supporters also reckon his showing was good enough to lay claim to the right back slot long term.
One fan responded to the Scotland tweet naming him man of the match saying: "Best player on the park. Should have played vs. Ukraine. Best right back we have now."
Another added: "Got to be automatic first choice."
A third said: "He was excellent - should keep the jersey now."
Another fan said: "Should have played last week."
A Celtic supporter in the replies couldn't hide their delight at Ralston's showing on the national stage, saying: "What a turnaround for this player. Outstanding performance."
Patterson replaced Ralston for the final 14 minutes at Hampden, and will be in contention to play in the next Nations League clash against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin on Saturday.
After that, it's a trip to once again face Armenia on Wednesday.

House approves ‘red flag’ gun bill unlikely to pass Senate
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House approved a “red flag” bill Thursday that would allow families, police and others to ask federal courts to order the removal of firearms from people at extreme risk of harming themselves or others.
It’s the Democratic-controlled chamber’s latest response to U.S. mass shootings and likely stands little chance in the Senate.
Nineteen states and the District of Columbia currently have such “red flag” laws. Under the House bill, a judge could issue an order to temporarily remove and store the firearms until a hearing can be held, up to two weeks later, to determine whether the firearms should be returned or kept for a specific period. The bill passed on a mostly party-line vote of 224-202.
“We are painfully aware that we cannot do enough to save every life, and there is no one answer that will solve this problem,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the Democratic chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. “But we do know that taking guns out of the hands of people who pose a danger to themselves, or others, would save countless lives.”
The vote came after an emotional week that saw congressional testimony from victims of recent mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York, and came ahead of a planned march Saturday in Washington by groups advocating stronger gun controls.
On Wednesday the House passed a wide-ranging gun control bill that would raise the age limit for purchasing a semi-automatic rifle and prohibit the sale of ammunition magazines with a capacity of more than 15 rounds. It too, has virtually no chance in the Senate.
House Republicans criticized the “red flag” bill as giving the federal government the ability to take a law-abiding person’s guns without them having the ability to contest it beforehand.
“It would allows the courts to take guns away from people without notice and without even the right to appear in the hearing to defend themselves in court,” said Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La.
The Congressional Budget Office projects that the bill would lead to roughly 10,000 emergency petitions being filed annually with the courts.
The bill would also create a grant program at the U.S. Department of Justice to encourage states to adopt “red flag” laws and support the 19 states that have already implemented them.
Five Republican lawmakers voted for the bill: Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio, Chris Jacobs of New York, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and Fred Upton of Michigan. Only Fitzpatrick is seeking reelection. Rep. Jared Golden of Maine was the only Democratic member to vote no.
The lead sponsors of the bill were Democratic Reps. Salud Carbajal of California and Lucy McBath of Georgia, whose son, Jordan Davis, was slain at a Jacksonville, Florida gas station in 2012 by a white man angry over the loud music the Black teenager and his friends had been playing in their car.
President Joe Biden strongly supports the bill. The White House said it would “make significant progress toward keeping guns out of dangerous hands.” However, the legislation is unlikely to advance in the Senate, where at least 10 Republican senators would be needed.
Instead, senators are focusing on incremental policy changes through a system that would send funds and other incentives to states to bolster security at school campuses, provide more mental health services to young people and possibly encourage states to pursue red-flag laws of their own.
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, who is leading negotiations on the Republican side, said one focus is on enhancing the background check system known as NICS, to include young buyers’ criminal records before they turned 18.
“Adding juvenile records to the NICS system is a common sense way to ensure we have a complete picture of the buyer’s history,” Cornyn said.
He voice optimism that senators will be able to reach an agreement.
“Around here, if there’s a will, there is a way, and I believe we do have the will and we will find the way,” Cornyn said.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.., said the House stands ready to consider a gun bill from the Senate “if it’s life-saving and can make a difference.”
But she cautioned: “We cannot have subterfuge. We can’t have them say well, it’s about this and it’s about that. No, it’s about guns.”

Investors in Hershey Company (Symbol: HSY) saw new options become available today, for the July 29th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the HSY options chain for the new July 29th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $210.00 strike price has a current bid of $5.10. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $210.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $204.90 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of HSY, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $211.27/share today.
Because the $210.00 strike represents an approximate 1% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 2.43% return on the cash commitment, or 17.73% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Hershey Company, and highlighting in green where the $210.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $215.00 strike price has a current bid of $3.90. If an investor was to purchase shares of HSY stock at the current price level of $211.27/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $215.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 3.61% if the stock gets called away at the July 29th expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if HSY shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Hershey Company, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing HSY's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $215.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $215.00 strike represents an approximate 2% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 1.85% boost of extra return to the investor, or 13.48% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 253 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $211.27) to be 19%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

Chris Evans Brought His Muscles To The Lightyear Red Carpet And Twitter Is Steamed Up
By Mike Reyes published
Disney's new arms race goes to infinity... and beyond.
For a company that makes family-oriented products, Disney certainly has an arms race going when it comes to premiere carpet thirst traps. Moon Knight's Oscar Isaac heated up some premieres previously this year, and now MCU vet/current Space Ranger Chris Evans is taking the torch. At the big debut of his upcoming movie Lightyear, Evans brought his muscles to the party, and Twitter is steamed up over it all.
The El Capitan Theatre hosted the star studded event honoring Disney/Pixar’s latest motion picture. With the Lightyear cast on hand, the world’s eyes were on Hollywood, though as you’ll see in the photo below, a majority of them were trained on this Evans-centric smoke show.
This man is out of this world. I mean, who looks like this? In no time flat Chris Evans has gone from America's Ass in Avengers: Endgame to America's Astronaut, thanks to Lightyear casting him as the "real" Buzz Lightyear. As for the confident gesture that Evans is giving to the camera? That's a man that's going to defeat Zurg, and then come home to a captive audience to tell the tale.
But seriously, the looks we're seeing from Evans here are reminiscent of that time Oscar Isaac had us all questioning whether loose and casual or formal with a skirt was the better look. If you needed more evidence to fully weigh that debate in your mind, then you're in luck. There's another photo below that shows Chris Evans on the Purple Carpet, making a case for Team Casual Daddy.
Don't take my word for it though, as Lightyear's looks have sent the internet into a bit of a thirsty spiral. User “flaminghotcevans” starts us off with a very specific request for Chris Evans. Looking back at those premiere photos, I can kind of see where this person’s oddly specific request is coming from:
It’s amazing to think back to how just a couple years ago we were just chilling, obsessing over Chris Evans’ Knives Out sweater. Now, one Disney movie later, we’re all going feral with the fact that the gun show is back in town. As user “HoliH1" points out in this next tweet, productivity might be taking a crash landing this morning:
You think this distraction takes away from trying to work? Imagine if this distraction was part of your work? This bombshell from Lightyear’s main event isn’t just a domestic phenomenon. No, this is something that crosses borders, as user “ggiioorrggiia_” tweeted out a message that reads beautifully in both the original Italian, and its English translation:
User “safeforchris” is probably speaking for a lot of Chris Evans fans in this respect. The intensity of the fandom is out in force this morning, and it’s probably not going to go away until after the Lightyear pandemonium has died down. Which, considering the movie opens next week, isn’t going to be any time soon; which makes this next tweet a bit more concerning:
Folks, it’s not going to do you any good to combust at this point. We are at the beginning of the journey for Lightyear, and there’s going to be tons more to cover in terms of Chris Evans. Who knows what charm we’re going to see, or what future outfits Evans will wear, to spark even more crystallic fusion reactions among his stans? The point is, we've got more upcoming Chris Evans movies to enjoy, so pace yourselves Space Rangers.
Disney/Pixar's Lightyear flies into theaters on June 17th, so check out the quick facts to know about this Toy Story spinoff. As for you Chris Evans fans out there, you'll be please to know that those biceps will be squaring off against Ryan Gosling's ripped form in The Gray Man, which is set on the 2022 Netflix movies schedule for a July release. And now that premiere is going to require A LOT more photographers than planned.

Results provide foundational proof-of-concept for a unique target ID in glioblastoma, build further confidence in Mnemo's EnfiniT Discovery Engine
PARIS, June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mnemo Therapeutics, a biotechnology company developing transformational immunotherapies, today announced a publication in Cell Reports that demonstrates peptides derived from transposable elements (TEs) – mobile regions of DNA that move to other areas of the genome – may represent cancer-specific targets for immunotherapy. The article is authored by a team of researchers working under the leadership of Sebastian Amigorena, Ph.D., CNRS research director, scientific co-founder of Mnemo and head of the Immune Responses and Cancer Team at Institut Curie (Immunity and Cancer Unit – Institut Curie/Inserm).
"Mnemo is committed to comprehensively tackling the challenges facing immunotherapies, including the lack of suitable cancer-specific targets," said Mnemo Chief Executive Officer, Robert LaCaze. "We are extremely encouraged by the data put forth in this publication which validates our unique target ID approach and informs the future of Mnemo's science."
Traditionally, the human genome has been broadly broken down into two main categories – the 4%, known to encode for proteins, and the 96%, with elements either noncoding and/or poorly understood, also known as the "dark genome." The data demonstrated in this publication provides compelling evidence to suggest that novel cancer targets can be found outside of the 4%, necessitating the expansion of our definition to include the "grey genome." The "grey genome", which accounts for around 45% of the human genome, is composed of TEs, long non-coding RNAs and a few other non-coding transcripts. Increased transcription of TEs is found to occur in some tumor cells, suggesting they may encode for cancer antigens. The publication, titled, "Single-cell RNA-seq-based proteogenomics identifies glioblastoma-specific transposable elements encoding HLA-I-presented peptides," explored this connection, demonstrating that these DNA features may hold the key to unlocking new targets for immunotherapy.
"Known targets are encoded by a very small percentage of the human genome, leaving vast regions rich with potential tumor-specific targets uncharacterized and unexplored," said Dr. Amigorena. "The research in this publication provides foundational evidence that we can probe the grey genome to identify features with promising potential to encode for cancer-specific targets."
In this study, researchers leveraged a sophisticated proteogenomic approach to explore the grey genome, in a search to uncover TE-derived peptides that can act as suitable cancer targets. Additional results are outlined below.
- The authors obtained single-cell resolution of TEs, distinguishing between different cell populations in the tumor microenvironment.
- Concurrently, the authors demonstrated differential expression of these TEs in glioblastoma over healthy tissue.
- 370 HLA-I-bound peptides derived from TEs were identified, making them visible to the immune system and therefore potential targets for immunotherapies.
- Furthermore, an in vitro experiment leveraging TE-peptide loaded cells and healthy T cells showed an immunogenic response, illustrating the promise of these peptides as possible therapeutic targets.
"While initially tested in glioblastoma, this approach is applicable across cell-types, laying the groundwork for its application in other cancer models for indication-specific antigen identification," Mnemo Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Alain Maiore. "This research further validates Mnemo's EnfiniT Discovery Engine, which aims to overcome the key challenges facing current immunotherapies by enhancing therapeutic precision, durability, and potency."

The last year has been a difficult time for tech, with semiconductor shortages, manufacturing delays and serious supply chain obstacles to be overcome by many makers
Which is why the smorgasbord of quality tech products coming out over the past 12 months has been so astonishing. The quality hasn't dropped one bit and that has led to the tech awards categories this year to be just as competitive as they've ever been.
Indeed, judges for the T3 Awards 2022 had a really tricky time picking between the fantastic shortlisted products in all tech categories, and there's no doubting that superb products have been left un-rewarded this year. That's the way the cookie crumbles, though.
As such, we're pleased to announce the winners of the best phone, best video streaming service, best value phone, best laptop, best gaming laptop, best 4K monitor, best 5G phone, best office chair, best webcam and best VPN awards at the T3 Awards 2022.

The T3 Awards 2022 judges were spoiled for choice this year when it came round to picking a winner for the Best Phone award, with a series of very strong iPhones and Android phones delivering top tier mobile experiences.
In the end, though, the productivity and creativity powerhouse that is the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra won the day. Judges were really impressed by the phone's specs and performance, gorgeous large 6.8-inch Edge QHD+ display, incredible camera system and long-lasting 5,000mAh battery.
These are many of the reasons why the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is currently sat top of T3's best phones buying guide with a perfect 5-star score.
T3 Awards 2022 judges also loved the extra control the S22 Ultra's S Pen digital stylus gave its user, to be both creative and work more efficiently. It remains a unique trait in a market where there aren't many.
Which is why we're happy to announce that the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is the winner of the Best Phone award at the T3 Awards 2022.

Best Video Streaming Service
Disney Plus has had a great year, and it's had an even better year when you consider that many of its major rivals have been losing subscribers in the same period.
The reason why Disney Plus has been so resilient? The same reason why the T3 Awards 2022 judges picked it as the Best Video Streaming Service – content, content and more quality content.
Disney Plus has led the way over the past year in terms of delivering its subscribers quality, original, exclusive content, both in terms of TV show and movies. Big hit shows like Loki, WandaVision, Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett have been joined with celebrated films like Luca, Shang-Chi and, Raya and The Last Dragon and Cruella.
But beyond that the non-exclusive content has also been really strong, with content like Only Murders In The Building and The Eyes of Tammy Faye examples of the brilliant adult as well as child and teen-focussed variety on offer. Disney Plus is now probably the strongest all-round streaming service, in terms of content variety, on the planet.
And Disney Plus continues to offer this great content for a price the T3 Awards 2022 judges thought was affordable, too.
So for its great exclusives, something-for-everything content library and affordable price point, we're pleased to announce that Disney Plus is the winner of the Best Streaming Service award at the T3 Awards 2022.

Best Value Phone
With the cost of living crisis putting pressure on many people's purse strings like never before, the importance of value in consumer technology has become even more important. And in the phone market, this is especially true, and has seen a marked shift away from flagship to mid-range and budget in terms of focus for many manufacturers.
And that has been great for consumers as there's been more great affordable phones on the market than ever before. But that, of course, made it harder for the T3 Awards 2022 judges to pick a winner for this year's Best Value Phone award. Pick a winner it did, though.
The OnePlus Nord 2 is that winner, with the 5-star handset being praised by the judges for its very strong battery life, fast performance, good-sized screen and robust camera system. All features of course delivered at a price point that is far from flagship levels.
The OnePlus Nord 2 also felt like a classic OnePlus release to the T3 Awards 2022 judges, delivering that flagship rivalling performance the brand became so known for, and doing it in style, which a handset that is great to look at and hold.
Despite its more mid-tier price point, as T3's review points out, the OnePlus Nord 2 has everything from style to speed, and for that reason it is the winner of the Best Value Phone at the T3 Awards 2022.
Best Value Phone shortlist
Apple iPhone SE (2022), OnePlus Nord 2, Samsung Galaxy A53 5G, Poco F3, Moto G31
Best Laptop
Dell makes some of the very finest Windows laptops in the world, and it's XPS line of laptops is year-after-year very impressive, often taking design, features and performance to a new level.
Which is why it is no surprise to see that the T3 Awards 2022 judges picked the stunning Dell XPS 13 OLED as the winner of the Best Laptop award.
As detailed in T3's Dell XPS 13 OLED review, this laptop combines "excellent design and build quality" with a "gorgeous OLED display" and "comfortable keyboard and touchpad". It also features a stunning thin and light design that makes carrying it around on the go a pleasure.
The judges saw the OLED panel as the cherry on top of the cake, though, which makes anything displayed on the screen just look fantastic, from films to games to images. Color pops off the screen and when watching Dolby Vision HDR content, you'd be forgiven for forgetting that you're watching on a laptop and not a high-end TV.
This is why the Dell XPS 13 OLED is currently listed in T3's best laptop buying guides as the "best premium Windows laptop".
Quite simply, for its specs, design, performance, screen and more, the Dell XPS 13 OLED is a worthy winner of the Best Laptop award at the T3 Awards 2022.
Best Laptop shortlist
Apple MacBook Air, Dell XPS 13 OLED, Microsoft Surface Laptop 4, HP Spectre X360, Apple MacBook Pro, Lenovo Yoga 9i 14
Best Gaming Laptop
For a certain age of gamers there will always be something a big special about a gaming laptop – a feeling that it shouldn't really be possible, all that pixel-pushing power in something so thin, light and portable, and not in a monstrously large and heavy tower case.
But in 2022 the state of gaming laptops is better and healthier than ever before, with top-rated systems loaded with advanced gaming components letting gamers play the most demanding AAA new PC games at high resolutions and frame rates with all the graphical bells and whistles turned on.
And the system that the T3 Awards 2022 judges felt exemplified that most was the Razer Blade 17 (2022), which is a system that T3's reviewer said "will blow you away with its power".
And, one look at this gaming laptops specs sheet and you can see what the reviewer means, with an Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti graphics card tucked inside this system. That's incredible, top, top tier gaming power contained within a laptop that weighs in at 2.75kg and measures in at 395 mm x 260 mm x 19.9 mm.
That graphics card is then partnered with a stonkingly fast CPU and buckets of RAM, as well as a large 17-inch, 240Hz display. Seriously, playing games on the Razer Blade 17 (2022) is a magical experience.
And the T3 Awards 2022 judges agreed, awarding it the Best Gaming Laptop award this year.
Best Gaming Laptop shortlist
Razer Blade 17 (2022), Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, MSI GE66 Raider, Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition, Acer Predator Triton 500
Best 4K Monitor
There's plenty of 4K monitors on the market today, but as T3's 5-star LG 27GP950-B review states, this 4K monitor is hard to beat. And, after evaluating a really strong roster of 4K monitors in the shortlist this year, the T3 Awards 2022 judges agreed, awarding the LG 27GP950-B the Best 4K Monitor award.
Reasons for the LG 27GP950-B's win included its manageable for most desks 27-inch sizing, beautiful 4K picture, 144Hz refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 connectivity, customisable RGB lighting and simple but effective cable management system. From a design point of view the judges also though the monitor boasted an understated elegance.
The monitor also boasts a grey-to-grey response time of 1 millisecond and support for VESA DisplayHDR 600, Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync – so it can cater to gamers, too, adding to its value. This is monitor that you can both work and play on.
Congratulations therefore to LG, who has won the Best 4K Monitor award at the T3 Awards 2022 with its LG 27GP950-B.
Best 4K Monitor shortlist

Best 5G Phone
The best 5G phone needs to not just deliver a great phone but also one that excels in terms of tapping into the world's most advanced 5G network bands. And, after evaluating the Best 5G Phone award shortlist this year, the T3 Awards 2022 judges thought the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max exemplified those two things best.
The Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max is a stunning flagship phone and a 5G master, with a huge amount of 5G bands capable of being tapped into.
Right now 5G networks are still not as widespread as they should be, but our reviewer of the iPhone 13 Pro Max found that:
"Using T-Mobile's Ultra Capacity 5G – which is it's name for the mmWave 5G band – I was able to get download speeds of almost 500Mbps and upload speeds of over 40Mbps. This makes anything from video calls to movie streaming a breeze and feels like you're on Wi-Fi."
This, in partnership with the phone's 5-star hardware and software package, was enough to win the judges over. Congratulations therefore to Apple, who bags the Best 5G Phone award at the T3 Awards 2022 with its Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Best Office Chair
As many people have found themselves working from home a lot more over the past few years than before, the importance of a good office chair has elevated significantly. Prolonged periods of time sat on a hard, wooden kitchen table is a quick way of generating serious back, shoulder and leg pain.
Which is why T3 spends so long each year reviewing and rating the best office chairs – we want to highlight the best seats for offices and home offices that will help their owner be healthier and work better.
And, among the best office chairs on the market today, the T3 Awards 2022 judges felt one chair stood out in really delivering superb ergonomics, buckets of style, and a robust, future-proofed build quality. The judges picked the Herman Miller Mirra 2.
In T3's 5-star Herman Miller Mirra 2 office chair review the reviewer praised its "drool-worthy looks", "adaptive cooling mesh material" and wide variety of different seating positions. The reviewer, as too the judges, was also impressed with the Mirra 2's 12-year warranty, which spoke to the confidence the maker has in it as a product.
The Herman Miller Mirra 2 isn't cheap, but the judges were swayed by the top-tier package it delivers and the idea that if you buy right, you do so once – with that product proceeding to serve its owner for years to come.
As such, we're proud to announce that the winner of the Best Office Chair award at the T3 Awards 2022 is the Herman Miller Mirra 2.

Best Webcam
Owning a good webcam was always important, as video meetings, video calls and livestream events have long now become ingrained in work and private life. However, over the past few years - during the pandemic - they became absolutely critical. Suddenly everyone was working and streaming from home and needed to stay in touch remotely.
In terms of streamers and those who needed to live stream from a variety of locations, this need for robust hardware that could deliver was even more pressing. Which is why it was a joy to see a number of products aimed at streamers hit the market over the past few years, products just like the Logitech Mevo Start.
The Logitech Mevo Start is a completely wireless streaming-focussed webcam that the T3 Awards 2022 judges just thought was fantastically well designed and executed, with its intuitive design and simple ease of use winning them over.
The camera lets its owner stream over Wi-Fi or a mobile data network (LTE), and as it weighs just 232 grams and measures in at 8.7 x 3.4 x 7.5cm, too, means it can be used in the home, office or quickly thrown in a backpack for a streaming session in the park or, well, anywhere.
Despite its simple design, though, the Logitech Mevo Start allows its owner plenty of manual control over things like ISO, exposure, brightness, saturation and orientation, and its strong companion app lets its owner select a variety of pre-sets. It delivers the best of both worlds, ease of use but plenty of customisation.
For all these reasons and more, we're pleased to announce that the Logitech Mevo Start is the winner of the Best Webcam award at the T3 Awards 2022.
Best Webcam shortlist

Best VPN
The internet today is in many ways a safer place than it was 20 years ago, but then again in others, such as the ability to have your personal data mined by hackers, it is not. Protecting your privacy is actually now harder than ever, with not just hackers but private companies actively looking to pry into people's private lives for financial gain.
That's why having a personal VPN is so important, and also why the winner of this year's Best VPN award is ExpressVPN, who the T3 Awards 2022 judges thought offered the best all-round VPN package to help the average person stay safe online. This makes sense, too, as in T3's best VPN guide ExpressVPN is currently in the number one position.
The judges voted for ExpressVPN due to its ease of use, rapid speeds and ability to run on basically any device, including some routers for whole home coverage.
Congratulations to ExpressVPN.

After a spectacular performance by the Boston Celtics in Game 3, Chris Broussard praised Celtics guard Jaylen Brown.
Touching upon the importance of his scoring prowess, Broussard highlighted Brown's overall contributions.
Chris Broussard spoke about the Celtics' 116-100 blowout win against the Golden State Warriors on "First Things First."
Although his segment started off by praising Boston's approach to Game 3, it transitioned into praising Brown's performance. Having played a major role in the C's success in the finals, Chris Broussard had this to say about the forward:
"We know that Tatum's the best player. But Jaylen Brown is a legitimate star. Not a superstar, but a legitimate star. He is Finals MVP right now. I thought he was even going into the game for the Celtics. But he definitely is right now.
"Whenever their backs against the wall and they need something done, Jaylen Brown steps up. Game 1 - you're down 12 after a horrible third quarter. He sparked the fourth quarter rally with 10 points and two assists early in the quarter."
Chris Broussard then shed light on Brown's performance in Game 3 with a hilarious analogy. He said:
"Then last night, comes out, sets the tone, goes directly at Draymond Green. It's like the dude walking in jail who doesn't want to be messed with.
"And says, 'You know what? Let me pick out the biggest, baddest inmate and beat him down to show everybody else don't mess with me.' That's what Jaylen Brown did in the first quarter."
Having entered a mild altercation with Draymond Green in Game 2, Brown came out guns blazing in Game 3. Going at Green after a slight exchange, the Boston Celtics guard shone in the win.
Jaylen Brown's performance for the Celtics in the NBA Finals
Often seen leading the scoring effort, Jaylen Brown displayed his value in Game 3. Taking on the burden of the offense and establishing a scoring rhythm, Brown emerged as a one-man wrecking crew.
Coming off a 27-point performance on Wednesday night, the Celtics guard led Boston in scoring. Combining for a total of 53 points alongside Jayson Tatum, the duo had a rare occasion where both played up to their potential as a tandem.
Brown functions as a bit of an anomaly in Boston's machinery. While Tatum's smooth brand of basketball blends into the team's identity, Brown tends to act as a bit of an outsider.
However, this has worked well for Boston as Brown single-handedly produces scoring runs for the team.
In this regard, Brown has done a fantastic job in picking up the offensive load from Tatum. With the latter practically running as a passing middleman, the scoring punch from Brown has done wonders for Boston.
With Game 3 in the bag, Boston continued their undefeated streak coming off a loss. But with a 2-5 record coming off a win in the playoffs, Boston will have to secure a win before heading back to the Bay Area. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/news-he-finals-mvp-right-now-chris-broussard-showers-celtics-forward-high-praise-stellar-performance-game-3-calls-legitimate-star | 2022-06-09T17:34:21Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/news-he-finals-mvp-right-now-chris-broussard-showers-celtics-forward-high-praise-stellar-performance-game-3-calls-legitimate-star | true | 1 |
How to enable and customize your Chromebook's screensaver
By Andrew Myrick published
Turn your Chromebook into a portable smart display.
Google continues to implement new and useful features for your various Chrome OS devices. Some of these are features that have been available on other platforms forever, while others help to create a completely different experience. One such example is being able to customize your Chromebook's screensaver and turn it into a smart display when it's not actively being used.
How to enable and customize your Chromebook's screensaver
With the release of Chrome OS 88 (opens in new tab), Google introduced the ability to use a screensaver on your Chromebook. Surprisingly, this was not already available, as it can definitely drain your battery more-quickly compared to if it wasn't enabled. But instead of just being stuck with boring pre-populated wallpapers, you also have the ability to customize what photos are used.
1. In the bottom right corner, click the Time.
2. From the pop-up menu, click the Settings in the top right corner.
3. In the sidebar on the left, click Personalization.
4. Tap Screen saver.
5. At the top of the page below the description, tap the toggle to enable Screen saver.
6. Under Background, tap Google Photos or Art gallery.
7. If selecting Google Photos, select that album(s) you want to be used.
8. If selecting Art Gallery, tap either Earth and space or Featured photos.
9. Tap the back arrow in the top left corner.
10. Under Weather, select either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
With the new-and-improved Screen saver enabled, you'll essentially be able to turn your Chromebook into a Nest Hub (opens in new tab) of sorts when it's not being used. As for the Google Photos integration, we suggest creating an album (opens in new tab) dedicated to photos that you want to be shown, or you can just pick one from the albums that are already available.
When will your screen saver appear?
At this point, you might be wondering how long your Chromebook will be idle before the screensaver will appear. By default, Chrome OS is designed to keep your Chromebook's display on for three minutes without any input before it will go into idle mode. But there's a catch with this, as you won't actually see the screensaver without making one more tweak to the settings.
1. Open the Settings app on your Chromebook.
2. In the sidebar on the left, click Device.
3. Click Power.
4. Under the When idle section, click the drop-down box next to While charging.
5. Select Sleep.
6. Click the drop-down box next to While on battery.
7. Select Sleep.
8. Close the Settings app.
Now, your display won't automatically turn itself off whenever the Chromebook goes into Idle mode. Unfortunately, there is no way to extend or shorten the length of time before Idle mode is activated. Three minutes is the default, and it doesn't seem as though Google currently has plans to change that.
Don't keep it running all of the time
It's really great to be able to basically turn the best Chromebooks (opens in new tab) into smart displays on your desk. This is especially true if you are using one as a secondary device, such as the Chromebook Duet 5 (opens in new tab) or HP Chromebook x2 11 (opens in new tab). However, you'll want to fine-tune the "when idle" settings, so you don't end up draining too much battery life if you have the screensaver showing when your Chromebook is running on battery power.
Lenovo Duet 5 Chromebook
A great all-around Chromebook experience
The Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 may not be the most powerful Chromebook on the market. But it arguably offers the best experience for those who want to enjoy Chrome OS on a tablet.

2023 Polls: Igbos under attack in Lagos – Ohanaeze tells Tinubu, Sanwo-Olu
Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has condemned the reported attack on the people of South-East resident in Lagos.
DAILY POST reports that several videos currently circulating on social media show several youths being attacked by thugs where they had gone to obtain their Permanent Voters’ Cards, PVCs.
They could be heard wailing in the video that despite closing shops for that purpose, some hired thugs had prevented them from obtaining the card.
Some Igbo youths sustained injuries in the process.
Reacting through a statement by its President-General, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide said Ndigbo should not be pushed beyond the walls.
“We have already been pushed to the walls, what they are doing now amounts to pushing Ndigbo beyond the walls and the consequences could be drastic.
“The two major political parties in the country cannot deny the South-East presidential ticket and at the same time deny them the opportunity to exercise their franchise. This is a call for total anarchy in the land and we are urging the security agencies to rise to the occasion,” Okwu said.
He called on the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu and the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu “to call their people to order.”
“We are saying this because Bola Tinubu has serious hatred for Ndigbo which he demonstrated by shunning the entire South-East during his consultations with delegates ahead of his party’s primary election.
“We do not begrudge him as it is within his right to choose who to interact with. However, what we will not condone is the mindless and unprovoked attack on Igbos resident in Lagos State.
“If those behind this mayhem are not doing his bidding, he should come out and condemn their actions in strong terms. The same goes for the Lagos State Governor, who is the Chief Security Officer. He must ensure the protection of every resident of Lagos State no matter where the person comes from,” he cautioned.
“We also call on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to deploy registration materials to churches and other public places in Lagos in order to give Nigerians free access,” Okwu further stated. | https://dailypost.ng/2022/06/09/2023-polls-igbos-under-attack-in-lagos-ohanaeze-tells-tinubu-sanwo-olu/ | 2022-06-09T17:38:02Z | https://dailypost.ng/2022/06/09/2023-polls-igbos-under-attack-in-lagos-ohanaeze-tells-tinubu-sanwo-olu/ | true | 2 |
VIENNA, Austria — Iran has started removing 27 surveillance cameras from nuclear sites across the country, the head of the U.N. atomic watchdog said Thursday, warning this could deal a “fatal blow” to the tattered nuclear deal as Tehran enriches uranium closer than ever to weapons-grade levels.
The development comes a day after the International Atomic Energy Agency's board of governors censured Tehran for failing to provide “credible information” over man-made nuclear material found at three undeclared sites in the country.
It also follows months of deadlocked over stalled talks aimed at restoring the Islamic Republic's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. Tensions remain high across the wider Middle East over the accord's collapse as U.S. sanctions and rising global food prices choke Iran's ailing economy, putting further pressure on its government and its people.
“This, of course, poses a serious challenge to our ability to continue working there," warned Rafael Mariano Grossi, the IAEA's director-general.
He added that if an agreement cannot be reached to restore the cameras in three to four weeks, “this would be a fatal blow” to Iran's tattered nuclear deal. Already, Grossi warned that without the cameras, Iran could make centrifuges and divert them to unknown locations.
”When we lose this, then it’s anybody’s guess,” he added.
Iran did not immediately acknowledge it was removing the 27 cameras, though it earlier threatened it could take more punitive steps. State media aired footage Thursday of workers disconnected two IAEA cameras from power.
“We hope that they come to their senses and respond to Iran’s cooperation with cooperation,” Behrouz Kamalvandi, an Iranian nuclear program spokesman, said Wednesday of the IAEA officials. “It is not acceptable that they show inappropriate behavior while Iran continues to cooperate.”
Iran's hard-line President Ebrahim Raisi struck a much more combative tone Thursday while visiting the central city of Shahr-e Kord.
"Do you assume that we withdraw because of resolutions?” he asked. “In the name of God and in the name of the nation, Iran will not withdraw from its stance a single step.”
Grossi made the comments at a suddenly called news conference in Vienna, standing next to an example of the cameras installed across Iran. Iran will remove IAEA cameras from sites, including in Tehran, the underground Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, the facility in Isfahan and the Arak heavy water reactor in Khondab, he said.
“Forty-something” IAEA cameras would remain active in Iran, Grossi said, though Tehran already has been withholding IAEA footage since February 2021 as a pressure tactic to restore the atomic accord.
“We are in a very tense situation with the negotiations on the revival of the (nuclear deal) at a low ebb,” Grossi added. “Now we are adding this to the picture; so, as you can see, it’s not a very nice one.”
On Wednesday, Iran said it shut off two devices that the IAEA uses to monitor enrichment at Natanz. Grossi acknowledged that Thursday, saying that among the devices being removed was the Online Enrichment Monitor and flowmeter. Those watch the enrichment of uranium gas through piping at enrichment facilities and allowed inspectors to remotely track its work.
Meanwhile, the IAEA earlier Thursday said Iran informed the agency that it planned to install two new cascades of the IR-6 at Natanz. A cascade is a series of centrifuges hooked together to rapidly spin uranium gas to enrich it.
An IR-6 centrifuge spins uranium 10 times faster than the first-generation centrifuges that Iran was once limited to under its nuclear deal with world powers. As of February, Iran already had been spinning a cascade of IR-6s at its underground facility at Fordo, according to the IAEA.
Iran earlier said it planned to install one cascade of IR-6s at Natanz. The IAEA said it “verified” the ongoing installation of that cascade Monday, while the installing of the newly promised two other cascades had yet to begin.
Iran and world powers agreed in 2015 to the nuclear deal, which saw Tehran drastically limit its enrichment of uranium in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. In 2018, then-President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew America from the accord, raising tensions across the wider Middle East and sparking a series of attacks and incidents.
Talks in Vienna about reviving the deal have been stalled since April. Since the deal’s collapse, Iran has been running advanced centrifuges and rapidly growing stockpile of enriched uranium.
Nonproliferation experts warn Iran has enriched enough up to 60% purity — a short technical step from weapons-grade levels of 90% — to make one nuclear weapon should it decide to do so.
Iran insists its program is for peaceful purposes, though U.N. experts and Western intelligence agencies say Iran had an organized military nuclear program through 2003.
Building a nuclear bomb would still take Iran more time if it pursued a weapon, analysts say, though they warn Tehran’s advances make the program more dangerous. Israel has threatened in the past that it would carry out a preemptive strike to stop Iran — and already is suspected in a series of recent killings targeting Iranian officials.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett praised Wednesday's IAEA board vote to censure Tehran as “a significant decision that exposes Iran’s true face.”
The “IAEA vote is a clear warning light to Iran: If Iran continues its activity, the leading countries must bring the matter back to the U.N. Security Council,” said Bennett, who made an unannounced trip Thursday to the United Arab Emirates.
The crisis risks escalating further, however.
On Wednesday night, a drone exploded in the northern Iraqi city of Irbil in the northern Kurdish region, slightly wounding three people and damaging cars and a nearby restaurant, officials said. The Iraqi Kurdish region’s directorate-general of counterterrorism alleged on Thursday that the Iran-backed militia Kataeb Hezbollah, or Hezbollah Brigades, launched the drone.
The militia later denied launching the drone attack.

NEW YORK, June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Stronghold Digital Mining, Inc. (NASDAQ: SDIG) pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement and prospectus (collectively, the "Registration Statement") issued in connection with the Company's October 2021 initial public offering ("IPO") of the important June 13, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Stronghold Digital Mining securities pursuant and/or traceable to the Registration Statement you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Stronghold Digital Mining class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5313 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 13, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, the IPO Registration Statement was materially false and misleading and omitted to state: (1) contracted suppliers, including MinerVa, were reasonably likely to miss anticipated delivery quantities and deadlines; (2) due to strong demand and pre-sold supply of mining equipment in the industry, Stronghold Digital Mining would experience difficulties obtaining miners outside of confirmed purchase orders; (3) as a result of the foregoing, there was a significant risk that Stronghold Digital Mining could not expand its mining capacity as expected; (4) as a result, Stronghold Digital Mining would likely experience significant losses; and (5) as a result, defendants' statements about Stronghold Digital Mining's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Stronghold Digital Mining class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5313 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

In meeting the crisis of youth unemployment head-on, we need to contemplate the lived experiences of our youth. Our desire to create opportunity and employment for young people must reflect our desire to ensure that young people have full, and tangible, access to the rights and freedoms afforded to them by our Constitution.
This overarching goal requires us to understand the lived experiences of our youth so that we can use the task of creating employment to simultaneously ensure that young people enter into forms of work that are characteristic of existing within a truly equal, just, non-racial, non-sexist and of course, secure and inhabitable society.
As it stands, youth in South Africa are perpetually bombarded by all manner of social ills.
We find ourselves immersed in a brutally violent, uncaring, exclusionary, and increasingly unstable and insecure context. Due to the interlinked nature of our crises — be they gender-based violence and femicide, climate change, inequality, hunger, homelessness, intergenerational trauma, academic exclusion, spatial apartheid, mental health-related issues, poverty and/or youth unemployment — we cannot separate the need to create employment and opportunity from the need to transcend all the other issues which also work to unravel the fabric of our society.
Against this backdrop — one which is rooted in relentless profiteering, dispossession, exploitation, and the destruction caused by extractive industry — young people need to mobilise and organise to ensure that the crisis of youth unemployment is transcended alongside the widespread upliftment of substantive freedoms and significantly improved climate stability.
If we are complacent, and if we do not centre the qualitative experiences of young people nor vigorously measure the real-life impacts of policy interventions, we risk job creation becoming a meagre check-box activity and numbers game that is played on inaccessible platforms by those who neither understand nor empathise with the reality of being young, systemically uncared for, and excluded in South Africa.
Through organisation and struggle, however, we will be able to achieve collective and democratic ownership of an economy that is underpinned by sustainable, participatory, and meaningful forms of work that serve the common good, aid the mending of our institutions, support the healing of our people, and realise material abundance for all.
Unfortunately, blissful ignorance is no longer an option for young people in our world today. The unravelling of our society and the proliferation of hardship is a direct result of the corruption, ingenuine leadership, clout-chasing, money-grabbing, and divisive politics that typify the realms of governance and development in South Africa.
Existing forms of politicking are outdated and unhelpful.
Likewise, our economic orientation is flawed and cannot be sustained. Both are narrowly focussed and are beholden to the sinister and destructive desires of profit and competition. For this reason, neither can attend to the intersecting needs of our people. After all, both polity and economy fail to contemplate, with understanding and empathy, the lived experiences and aspirations of millions.
Looking to the future
Following the failures of many who came before us, it has become the task of young people to provide an alternative and to save ourselves and each other from a disaster we did not create. We are legitimate stakeholders in the developmental, governance, and justice agendas and we must conscientise, organise, and mobilise one another in simultaneous pursuit of each.
Youth unemployment is a crisis as much as it is an opportunity.
Collectively, we can use it to fight for jobs and opportunities that do better, and which are qualitatively better. As it stands, we are noticeably neglected and have yet to be put to work in defining and creating these jobs and opportunities. Let us then put ourselves to work in pursuit of a wholly just society!
We must see the interlinked crises I have described above as an opportunity to rid ourselves of failed policies and ingenuine leadership. If anything, our crises are spurring movement and action from all manner of invested organisations, groups, and individuals. Thus, we find ourselves presented with a unique and special opportunity to build a society that we will be proud to call home. One in which all persons have access to social protections, meaningful forms of work, healthcare, education, shelter, opportunity, nutrition, safety, and a sense of belonging.
Ultimately, this is the only way in which the true development of our society can be measured. Unfortunately, our current cohort of powerful elites, tenderpreneurs, and multi-national corporations equate their profits to social growth. Young people need then to realise our collective power to force a paradigm shift that rethinks the ways in which society is organised and how wealth is distributed in an effort to meet our shared needs and collective development.
We have begun the process of organising a critical mass of young people in pursuit of justice, equality, and higher forms of freedom. The Youth Day Parade for Justice and Change, convened by the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation’s Youth Activism Programme, has brought together over 80 organisations (and counting) to converge on the Union Buildings on 16 June. Through this process, we — the youth — seek to reignite the courage and spirit of 1976 within the hearts of the youth today. We must unite in our call on government to realign itself with the needs of our people and to seriously rethink its priorities. The reality of our crises has left us with no other option.
Forward we move, to a society we will be proud to call home.

MUMBAI: 'Elevate', then 'Resonate', and now, 'Unify', the guys in GRAMMY-nominated funk sextet Lettuce have been sending not-so-subliminal messages with their music (and album titles) for going on three decades now. Their newest effort, 'Unify', however, showcases exactly what the band has been working towards all these years; not just the unification of humanity through music, but also the coming together of each member to take the band’s most powerful, funkiest form to date. Fans can stream the album here orcd.co/lettuceunify and watch the brand new video for "Keep That Funk Alive" here!
From the fit-for-the-times “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright”, which Parade Magazine called “a mantra for moving out of dark days and into the light,” to the classic Lettuce vibes of “Gravy Train”, to the stamp of approval from funkmaster general Bootsy Collins on “Keep That Funk Alive”, the band-Adam Deitch (drums), Ryan Zoidis (saxophone), Adam ‘Shmeeans’ Smirnoff (guitar), Erick ‘Jesus’ Coomes (bass), Nigel Hall (keyboards/vocals), Eric ‘Benny’ Bloom (trumpet)-have cemented their role as groove disciples for the next generation with 'Unify'; proudly becoming funk’s torchbearers for all booty shakers, young and old.
The band also shares the brand new music video for "Keep That Funk Alive", a collaborative effort with legendary funk innovator Bootsy Collins. “Linking up organically with one of the inventors of funk music, eternally iconic bassist and vocalist Bootsy Collins, still feels like a dream,” says Deitch. “Bootsy wants to keep the Funk alive…and we wholeheartedly agree with that statement. Major props to Bootzilla for believing in us!”
“Dealing with the pandemic, being in separate places, trying to survive without our best friends, without touring, not to mention the political divide in this country,” says Deitch on creating 'Unify'. “We really needed to unify.” Zoidis recalls, “This album came together at a time when we were away from each other longer than we had been in years.” Although the band was able to do a lot of writing and pre-production from their respective home studios, they hadn’t been in the same room or on the same stage together since their European tour was cut short in March 2021, so the first song on 'Unify' captures the raw energy of a much-needed reunion at Colorado Sound Studios—though, that’s not exactly where the story begins.
The roots of 'Unify' took hold several years back when Lettuce assembled at Colorado Sound to begin work on 'Elevate'. Armed with dozens of songs, the band tracked enough material for that record, its successor, and then some. Combined with some stellar pre-existing tracks held over from the prior two albums, Lettuce was now primed for a third. The group decamped to the Denver studio and reunited with its esteemed engineer, Jesse O’Brien, mixing alongside O’Brien, and, once again, self-producing the finished work. And, rather than extensively road-testing the songs, fleshing out the repertoire in countless performances on tour before being recorded, this time the band discovered the music as much as made it; essentially debuting the new material as they tracked it live in the studio.
A totally collaborative effort, there were exciting cuts full of brilliant lyrics and arrangements from Hall (whom Coomes calls “one of the greatest singers ever”) and fiery horn parts from Bloom, not to mention the tantalizing prospect of unveiling it all on the upcoming tour. “It’s very, very exciting. Our audiences are going to hear how we end up interpreting these songs for the first time, in the live form, and then for the 300th time; they’ll get to hear right along with us how the songs will morph and evolve,” says Smirnoff. Adds Coomes, “We’re just getting tighter and tighter. Really, these are the first records made with the six of us as a team, and it’s the best the band has ever been: live and in the studio; the funkiest and the most fun.”
Lettuce will take their plethora of brand new material out on the road (and across the pond) for the Unify World Tour.

Virginia General Assembly abandons Commanders stadium bill
Published: Jun. 9, 2022 at 12:49 PM EDT|Updated: 50 minutes ago
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The General Assembly is abandoning for the year legislation intended to lure the Washington Commanders to Virginia.
That’s according to a top state lawmaker who sponsored one version of the legislation.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Dick Saslaw said in a brief interview that there were too many issues to be resolved and controversies surrounding the NFL team for the legislation to proceed.
He says it could be reintroduced next year.
The team said in a statement that it supported the legislature’s decision to “more deeply examine this issue.”

Travelling with young children is never easy, and it can feel nigh-on impossible when you're attempting a long haul flight that can be uncomfortable for a fully grown adult, let alone a child.
But for parents who might be dreading an upcoming trip, one mum has shared a handy trick which may just provide you with some much-needed comfort and relief.
Adele Barbaro, a blogger known as The Real Mumma, flew from Melbourne in Australia to Los Angeles in the US with her husband and their two children and had been feeling anxious about the flight.
But by spending an extra £104 on their economy seats - which is much cheaper than upgrading to business class - she managed to provide her brood with a giant comfy bed, allowing them to sleep or play in comfort.
Get the news you want straight to your inbox. Sign up for a Mirror newsletter here.
The mum-of-two snagged her family a Sky Couch as part of an upgrade offered by Air New Zealand, which transforms a row of seats into a fully flat bed that offers more room to move around and lay down.
Essentially the same as economy seats, the Sky Couch seats come with an additional footrest which can fold upwards to form a bed-like surface - which will come as welcome news to any parents planning on flying with Air New Zealand.
In a Facebook post, Adele explained: "If there is two of you travelling, you can purchase a third seat at half price and you will get the entire row to yourself.
"The leg rests all rise to meet the chair in front and create a completely flat, large play or sleep area. Paul and Harvey had a bed and so did Chloe and I.
"It’s the next best thing to business (but way cheaper) and perfect for long haul flights with young families. And we all slept."
Other parents were quick to join in the debate in the comments section too, with many saying they swore by the bed-like seats that make travelling so much more comfortable.
One person said: "It was just us and one baby – a MUCH better option than the bassinet seats as I could lie down and feed and both me and baby could sleep (while his dad binge-watched movies! Haha!)."
The Sky Couch premiered in 2010 on Air New Zealand, but since then a number of other airlines have created their own Sky Couch style seats.
All Nippon Airways (ANA) which operates out of Japan, has introduced the ANA COUCHii – where economy passengers can combine three or four seats to make a bed.
However, Brits may have to wait longer as it's not currently an option for UK airlines, although Thomas Cook had announced plans for Sleeper Seats on long haul flights before it collapsed.

WEST ALLIS, Wis. — A new coffee shop in Wisconsin is on a mission to employ as many people with disabilities as possible to give them job training and normalize those who have differences.
Kindly Coffee employs three people with mental disabilities and has three other employees that act as peer mentors. Plus, there are three other people with disabilities who didn't want to be employees, but instead are volunteering at the coffee shop.
"There’s not enough opportunities. There's not enough people that want to employ people with disabilities, and I don’t think that’s okay, because I think people with disabilities can do just as much, or even more as people without disabilities, especially in the workplace," Sydney Tucker, the co-founder and CEO of Kindly Coffee said.
She was inspired to open the coffee shop after her own experiences with her sister Emma. Tucker said that her sister died when she was 16, but cognitively she was about 4 years old. Tucker believes that all people should have the chance to work and gain job experience regardless of their abilities.
"But I don’t want to ignore the fact that they have disabilities. When people say I don’t see color or I don’t see disability, well, why not? Because people have disabilities. People have differences, and if you’re going to ignore it, you’re kind of just ignoring a big part of who they are as a person," Tucker said.
It's all about normalizing people with differences.
For 25-year-old Kacey Briggs, she was just excited to start her first job. She has a mental disability and having this opportunity meant a lot to her.
"I was so happy," she said.
Plus, her family was proud for what she had accomplished.
"(My sister) say she was so proud of me, and I gave her some drinks," Briggs said.
She gets individualized training from Tucker, as well as her teenage peers who don't have disabilities. It's a way for both peers and mentors to learn something new.
"Getting to meet them. Getting to talk to them. It's like I don’t see a lot of people with disabilities, so it's like you get a different experience working with them, and seeing them, and talking to them, and it's actually really nice. They’re just like us," 16-year-old Corey Smith said.
Kindly Coffee is a small step in the right direction, Tucker said. Her ultimate goal is that hotels, restaurants, and other businesses follow the same model.
"I figured I can’t change the whole world, but I can take this little part of my world, and change just this part, and hopefully we can just expand and do better," she said.
She's not the first person to open a cafe like this or employ people with disabilities with a similar goal. However, it's not about being first. It's about contributing to change.
"Kindly Coffee is not the only place that can do this. There are other coffee shops that are doing this. You don’t have to be a coffee shop either."
On top of the cafe's mission to employ people with disabilities, Tucker is also hoping to spread a religious message too.
Kindly Coffee is also a Christian cafe. For Tucker, that means putting bible verses on the wall, having bibles for people to read in the cafe, and also having children's books about Jesus. But she doesn't want to overwhelm people with religion either.
"But it's not going to be like, 'Oh do you know Jesus?' Because that's weird, and that's not getting anyone anywhere."
It's more so about exposing people to other ideas. Just like she wants to get people more familiar and comfortable to those with disabilities.

We have enjoyed all of our experiences with Uniworld until now. On the plus side: The ship was very clean and well attended. the Ports were as described and the local tour guides were excellent especially in Versailles and Normandy. (note that in Rouen the art museum is not open on Tuesdays...I brought it to the attention of the local tour guide, who recommended it, (even though it was closed) ...
We were picked up from our Hotel in Paris and driven South 2.5 hours to the location of our barge on the Du Nivernais canal NIN Burgundy. Our driver was also the Barge Captain and Cruise Director. There were 3 more crew members including the Pilot, Chef and Chief Steward/Server/Wine and Cheese educator.
L’Art de Vivre is a classic barge redesigned with 4 small cabins with separate space for ...
A beautiful ship with a excellent staff. We were in a suite. Although by necessity small, the room is very well thought out. Large windows make up for the lack of a balcony. You can control just about everything (tv, lights, windows) from your bed. Very comfortable bed. Excellent shower.
Service was top notch. Plenty of staff around and always willing to help. There were only 56 guests on our ...
La Belle Époque was our first barge cruise and we have already booked another one! The crew was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive. Service was just outstanding! The food and wines were first class with a chef that always amazed us with his creativity. With only 8 guests, all aspects (touring, dinning, etc) of the barging experience could be personalized. We were also fortunate ...
We traveled on the barge La Belle Epoque owned by European Waterways from August 8th through August 14th. On this trip we travel from Tanly to Venary-Les-Laumes. From the time we were picked up in Paris on Sunday morning at about 1300 until we were dropped back off in Paris on Saturday afternoon the whole trip was absolutely fantastic. We were met in Paris by our tour guide Mathias who drove ...
My husband and I gave our travel agent an impossible list of criteria for a special vacation to celebrate our 20th anniversary. (We are both in our 70s but very active and fit.) Chip suggested Uniworld’s SS Joie de Vivre… lots of activity and history for my husband, lots of glamour and luxury for me, excellent food and service for us both. I was delighted to go to Paris (my husband not so ...
Everything is possible on this cruise. The officers and crew on board are very friendly and helpful. The drinks and food are all very good. The outings are thoughtfully planned with consideration of the capabilities of the guests. While most of the guests are retired and generally senior in nature, many are very friendly and became friends towards the end of the trip. The most interesting nature ...
We have just returned from Scenic Tours’ Spectacular South of France river cruise. This was our fourth river cruise with Scenic and it was every bit as enjoyable as the previous three.
The crew on the Scenic Sapphire could not have been more accommodating and helpful. Our room was cleaned perfectly every morning and every evening by our wonderful room maid, Gabi.
The waiters in the lounge ...
Travel agent recommended.
Everything was wonderful.
We enjoyed the room very much except for the septic odour that was prevalent on a number of occasions and the lighting, which was not very good, especially for the application of make-up. The cleaning staff did an excellent job of taking care of any requests we had and tried on a number of occasions to get rid of the door, with some success ...
I had done the Rhine River Cruise before and thoroughly enjoyed it. This one was equally as brilliant but maybe a little less “hectic”. A joy from beginning to end. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and professional. The food was exceptional. The scenery and tours were all first class, five star all the way! Everything was so well organised that you knew every day exactly what time to ... | https://www.cruisecritic.com/paris-luxury-cruises_dp123-cs22/mra/ | 2022-06-09T17:49:02Z | https://www.cruisecritic.com/paris-luxury-cruises_dp123-cs22/mra/ | true | 3 |
Pretrained transformer models have grown dramatically in recent years and now reach hundreds of billions of parameters. Although these behemoths are achieving unprecedented performance on natural language processing (NLP) tasks, their ever-expanding size has limited their real-world deployment on resource-constrained edge or embedded devices.
In the new paper Extreme Compression for Pre-trained Transformers Made Simple and Efficient, a Microsoft research team proposes XTC, a simple yet effective extreme compression pipeline for pre-trained transformers. XTC can skip the compute-heavy pretraining knowledge distillation (KD) process to obtain a 5-layer BERT model with better performance than previous state-of-the-art distillation methods, and its extreme quantization and layer reduction can cut model sizes by 50x.
The team summarizes their main contributions as:
- We present a systematic study of extreme quantization methods by fine-tuning ≥1000 pre-trained transformer models, which includes a careful evaluation of the effects of hyperparameters and several methods introduced in extreme quantization.
- We find that previous extreme quantization studies overlooked certain design choices, which lead to under-trained binarized networks and unnecessarily complex optimizations. Instead, we derive a celebrating recipe for extreme quantization, which is not only simpler but also allows us to achieve an even larger compression ratio and higher accuracy than existing methods.
- We find that extreme quantization can be effectively combined with lightweight layer reduction, which allows us to achieve greater compression rates for pretrained transformers with better accuracy than prior methods while enjoying the additional benefits of flexibly adjusting the size of the student model for each use-case individually, without the expensive pretraining distillation.
The proposed XTC pipeline comprises two steps: 1) Lightweight layer reduction. Instead of adopting computationally expensive pretraining distillation, the researchers first employ a subset of the fine-tuned teacher weights as a lightweight layer reduction method to initialize a layer-reduced model. When combined with the team’s other training strategies, this lightweight approach reduces computational cost and achieves a much higher compression ratio than other existing methods. 2) 1-bit quantization by applying 1S-KD with DA and long training. The team applies quantize-aware 1S-KD (one-step knowledge distillation), using an ultra-low bit (1-bit/2-bit) quantizer to compress the layer-reduced model weights obtained in step 1 for a forward pass, then uses a straight-through estimator (STE) in a backward pass for passing gradients. The team minimizes the single-stage deep KD objective with data augmentation (DA) and longer training, such that the training loss is close to zero.
In their empirical study, the team applied their novel compression approach to the BERT large language model, using the standard General Language Understanding Evaluation (GLUE) benchmark.
The experimental results show that the proposed XTC can compress BERTbase to a 5-layer BERTbase while outperforming previous state-of-the-art distillation methods such as the 6-layer TinyBERT without incurring the computationally expensive pretraining distillation. The method’s robust extreme quantization can also reduce model size by 50x with better accuracy than prior extreme quantization methods; and achieve state-of-the-art results on GLUE tasks.
Overall, this work introduces a simple yet effective compression pipeline for extreme compression in pretrained transformers, providing a possible solution for deploying such models on resource-constrained devices.
The code will be released on the Microsoft DeepSpeed GitHub. The paper Extreme Compression for Pre-trained Transformers Made Simple and Efficient is on arXiv.

SANTA BARBARA — Construction work will continue for another two or three weeks on De la Vina Street in the vicinity of De la Guerra and Ortega streets.
The work involves installing “new pedestrian access ramps, curb extensions and lighting and then the city will be repaving,” Derrick Bailey, the city of Santa Barbara’s principal transportation engineer, told the News-Press Wednesday.
“The work will be completed in the next two to three weeks,” Mr. Bailey said. “A few weeks after that work concludes, pavement markings, crosswalk markings and new bike lanes will be added.”
Road work is also taking place elsewhere on De la Vina Street in the area around Micheltorena Street.

True Community-wide Academic Health Partnership Will Transform Health Care for South Florida Residents
BOCA RATON, Fla., June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Three South Florida counties that collectively are home to the largest metropolitan population in the state will soon be served by an academic health network that is a true collaboration of the region's leading public and private academic and medical leaders.
More than 3 million residents currently live in the three-county region, with the numbers growing daily. Florida has an estimated shortage of 60,000 nurses, and a shortage of more than 17,000 doctors is anticipated. The FAU Health Network will not only meet these growing patient-care needs, but also will address these workforce challenges.
"This partnership marks the beginning of a transformative health network for our region," said Brad Levine, chair of the FAU Board of Trustees. "I am thrilled to see all our partners come together to meet these vitally important needs. The time is now because the need is now."
The region's partners in Broward, Palm Beach and Martin counties offer an outstanding opportunity for dynamic faculty and learner experiences and will provide connectivity to the local health care community, ensuring the recruitment and retention of skilled health care professionals.
"This collaboration will transcend the competitive landscape and help us all work toward augmenting South Florida's existing health care infrastructure to reach our common goal: 'Best-in-class patient care,'" said Shane Strum, president and chief executive officer of Broward Health.
This all-encompassing partnership also will enhance clinical trials and provide access to these medical innovations to the local population, focused health care needs matched to the region's population, and provide localized solutions that will eliminate the need for travel for services only available outside the region.
"As keen collaborators, we at Memorial recognize that when medical research is combined with the patient care providers, the long-term benefits for the region's growing -- and aging -- population can't be understated," said Douglas A. Harrison, chair of the Board of Commissioners of Memorial Healthcare System.
While patient care needs are paramount, expanding the region's health-related teaching and research infrastructure is vital.
"This network is essential for the future of our community," said Ava Parker, president of Palm Beach State College. "The migration to Florida has led to a critical shortage in health care professionals. Coming together to address the workforce challenge is critically important."
These academic endeavors will allow for the innovative solutions necessary to tackle the workforce crisis. The goal is to expand annual enrollments to graduate more than 300 nurses, 104 medical doctors, and 150 social workers a year. Resident training programs also will expand to address the doctor shortage.
"This collaboration will bring together the vital health components that exist separately across the region," said Darcy J. Davis, chief executive officer of the Health Care District of Palm Beach County. "The growing patient population in our community will benefit from expanded access to innovative care."
Initial partners include: FAU, Broward College, Palm Beach State College, Memorial Healthcare System, Health District of Palm Beach County and Broward Health. More details will be provided as the partnership develops.

Recent massacres have again drawn attention to the tragedies enabled by the Second Amendment, as interpreted by the courts.
This amendment is one of the most problematical parts of the Constitution: "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
In 2008, downplaying "well-regulated" and "militia," and reversing precedents, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the amendment protects individuals' right to have guns. Abusing this right, a few people have used military style "assault" weapons, rapidly firing hundreds of shots, to kill hundreds of people including many young children.
Attempts to prohibit owning these weapons have been stymied by legislators claiming devout allegiance to the Second Amendment.
The Second Amendment diverts attention from the costs and benefits of legislation attempting to make gun ownership "well-regulated." Instead of focusing on proposals' merits, it sidetracks us into arguments about constitutionality.
If there were no Second Amendment, legislators could focus on the benefits and costs of proposed legislation. But repeal is impossible. People wanting guns for self-defense or hunting fear that repeal would "let the camel's nose into the tent" — a "slippery slope" argument. What if legislatures decided to ban all guns?
Some gun owners, however, now believe that we should ban assault weapons. This would become possible if, rather than trying to repeal the Second Amendment, we amend it. A tightly drafted change could protect the right to own hunting rifles and handguns for self-protection, subject to reasonable regulations, but leave regulation or prohibition of more powerful weapons completely up to legislatures.
An amended Second Amendment would guarantee that the whole camel could not get into the tent. It would eliminate the danger that future Supreme Court majorities might uphold legislation banning handguns and hunting rifles. And it would allow proposals to prohibit ownership of assault weapons to be considered on their merits.
Such an amendment — unequivocally protecting the right to own handguns and hunting rifles — could not be dismissed as anti-gun. True, these kill a lot more people than assault weapons, but they do it in many small daily episodes (rather like car accident fatalities) rather than in a small number of mass slaughters (like passenger plane crashes).
They destroy many lives, but do not enable unhappy people to gain attention by committing large-scale atrocities. They don't inflict comparable damage to the national psyche.
Amending the Constitution is usually harder than merely enacting laws. But here the opposite could be true. Meaningful legislation is now impossible. But opposition to amending the amendment should be minimal since the changes would eliminate fears of legislation or court decisions banning handguns and hunting rifles.
Opponents of revising the Second Amendment may argue that banning assault weapons would not reduce the number of mass shootings, but this is refuted by recent experience in Australia, the United Kingdom, and other countries.
They might also argue that we need better treatment for mental illness, which is an excellent idea in its own right but a distraction here. There is just as much mental illness in countries with far fewer mass atrocities. The availability of assault weapons in the U.S. is obviously the critical variable here.
A few might argue that privately owned military-scale weapons are needed so we can overthrow our government if it becomes tyrannical, but this idea is terribly misguided. Regimes resulting from forcefully overthrowing a government are invariably worse than their predecessors.
And for those who are concerned, there are effective ways to protect ourselves from tyranny, at much lower cost, nipping bad tendencies in the bud: civic education, widespread attention to and participation in public affairs.
We shouldn't let a vital part of public policy depend on the whims of future Supreme Court majorities. Amending the Second Amendment could be a win-win, protecting schools, home security, and hunters.

Black people less likely than white to get Parkinson’s surgery in US
Researchers analysed more than 50,000 deep brain stimulation procedures carried out in the US and found that Black people were five times less likely to have the surgery than their white counterparts
Black people in the US may be five times less likely to be treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease than white people.
DBS is a surgical procedure used in people with Parkinson’s for whom medication is no longer effective. It involves stimulating parts of the brain to control abnormal brain activity, which can lessen the tremors associated with the condition.

All Black Dalton Papalii has sidestepped a court charge after police accused him of driving at "extremely excessive" speeds on an Auckland motorway.
Papalii, 24, was set to be charged by police for driving in excess of the 100km/h posted limit on the Southern Motorway at Takanini in the early hours of Wednesday last week, a court document viewed by the Herald shows.
Police say they were unable to proceed with the charge due to a "technicality," understood to be an issue with the speed detection equipment.
The charge they were to lay was a category 1 traffic offence, meaning police would have alleged he was driving more than 50km/h above the posted limit.

Advertise with NZME.It carries a maximum penalty of a $1000 fine if convicted. There were no other charges.
The Blues captain was due to appear in the Manukau District Court in the days after he was pulled over.
Because Papalii required surgery for appendicitis, his lawyer had his first appearance deferred to July 22 at the Papakura District Court.
This week, police contacted the loose forward's representatives to tell them the charge was being withdrawn.
The Manukau District Court said yesterday afternoon the charge was no longer active.
A police spokesman described the speed the car was travelling at as "extremely excessive".
"Police can confirm a vehicle was stopped on the Southern Motorway in the early hours of 1 June after it was allegedly travelling at an extremely excessive speed.
"The driver was spoken to on the roadside and was remorseful for the situation."

Advertise with NZME.He was summonsed to appear in court on a speeding charge, the spokesman said.
"Regrettably, police has had to withdraw the matter from the court due to a technicality."
It is understood the unspecified technicality related to an issue with speed detection equipment, which meant the reading may have been ruled inadmissible in court.
A representative for Papalii confirmed he was now facing misconduct proceedings from NZ Rugby's integrity unit.
It is understood Papalii has recently addressed his Blues teammates and senior leadership group regarding the incident.
He is said to have been contrite and embarrassed and expressed regret at the distraction from the team's preparation ahead of tomorrow's Super Rugby Pacific semi-final against the Brumbies.

Advertise with NZME.Papalii was named this year as the Blues captain for the 2022 season.
He has had a dream run as skipper, leading his team to 13 unbeaten matches.
The flanker has made 12 appearances for the All Blacks since 2018.
Papalii has a well-known love of cars.
A magazine profile from last year said Papalii has a 1971 Jaguar XJ6 with a 350 (5.7 L) Chevrolet V8 engine.
But he usually drives a Toyota Hilux ute to training from his home in Papakura, the profile said.

Advertise with NZME.Another profile said his alternative career choices would be a mechanic or an arborist.
He missed his franchise's quarter-final victory over the Highlanders last Saturday due to the appendicitis surgery.
In his early years he played rugby league, following in the footsteps of his family, but made the switch to union, which he played for St Kentigern's College in Pakuranga.
He debuted for the All Blacks a few weeks after turning 21 and has scored 20 points from four tries in the black jersey. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/all-black-and-blues-rugby-star-sidesteps-charge-due-to-technicality-after-extremely-excessive-speed/MQVW2K2YFAU3UQNVMYED234G7U/ | 2022-06-09T17:59:03Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/all-black-and-blues-rugby-star-sidesteps-charge-due-to-technicality-after-extremely-excessive-speed/MQVW2K2YFAU3UQNVMYED234G7U/ | false | 6 |
Asda Stores Ltd Selects TrueCommerce to Manage its Business Transformation Initiative as It Separates from Walmart
COVENTRY, United Kingdom, June 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TrueCommerce, a leading global cloud provider of supply chain and trading partner connectivity, integration and omnichannel solutions, announced today that Asda is now using TrueCommerce’s EDI-based supplier enablement solution to manage supplier communications.
As the third-largest supermarket chain in the UK, Asda operates over 600 retail stores. The brand also offers their products online via Asda.com, which serves 98% of UK homes. To do so, Asda is supported by 37 distribution and fulfilment centres and thousands of suppliers.
In February 2021, Asda was sold by Walmart to the Issa Brothers and TDR Capital. That sale led the company to choose a new EDI provider that would support its future as a standalone business: TrueCommerce.
“TrueCommerce was part of a comprehensive RFP process and was selected on the basis of four key factors: its ability to understand and meet the Asda capability requirements, its confidence in adhering to programme timelines, its deep knowledge and expertise, and its overall commercial competitiveness,” said Jenny Hopkins, Senior Director at Asda.
As part of the agreement, TrueCommerce will implement a supplier enablement platform catering to the needs of the over 2,000 suppliers that make up Asda’s entire supplier community, with integration into the business’s SAP ERP system. As an SAP Silver Partner, TrueCommerce’s solution offers the highest level of integration and automation with the SAP system.
The solution offered by TrueCommerce features key capabilities that will enable thousands of Asda suppliers, regardless of their size or technical maturity, to easily communicate with the retailer. In addition to supporting EDI transactions, the supplier enablement platform also includes a web-EDI portal for use by non-EDI capable vendors. TrueCommerce’s platform also includes fully managed supplier onboarding and communications management for EDI-related supplier queries.
TrueCommerce’s expertise in the market and experience in managing complex supply chain communications for enterprise-grade businesses will enable a seamless transition for Asda and its supplier community. It will encourage higher rates of adoption that will, in turn, underpin the company’s ongoing supplier communication efforts.
Jenny highlighted that, “By partnering with TrueCommerce, Asda will offer a strong, stable, fully reliable and excellently managed EDI programme to our highly valued Asda suppliers, no matter how big or small they are!”
David Grosvenor, Managing Director, TrueCommerce Europe said, “I’d like to thank Jenny and the team at Asda for their cooperation in this process. Our teams at TrueCommerce are delighted to begin working with Asda and help further strengthen their business in the UK retail landscape.”

The European Central Bank has paved the way for a rate hike of a quarter point in July and a potentially larger increase in September, which will push up the cost of servicing a mortgage for many thousands of Irish households this summer.
Following its Thursday gathering, the central banker led by president Christine Lagarde definitively put an end to the era of ultra-low interest rates as they forced to react as the Ukraine war drives energy and food prices to multi-decades highs in most of the eurozone.
Compared with its influential peers such as the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England, the central bank has long delayed hiking rates.
It is now facing a delicate balancing act between controlling inflation, while not over-reacting as has occurred in the past by increasing interest rates, that could potentially choke off economic growth in some European countries.
There will be no escaping the ECB rate hikes in July and September for the 460,000 mortgage borrowers in Ireland who are on variable or tracker home loans, mortgage analysts have said.
In time, almost all the 740,000 Irish mortgaged households will be affected as they drop off their short-term fixed rates and revert to higher borrowing rates.
Financial markets have upped their bets on the pace of official rate increases and now predict increases totaling 150 basis points, or 1.5%, by the end of the year.
Any ECB rate hikes amounting to even 1% would add almost €2,000 a year to the annual cost of servicing a €300,000 mortgage.
“The ECB has brought more clarity to the outlook than expected, signaling it will raise its main policy rates in July and September," said analysts at Bloomberg Economics.
"Bloomberg Economics thinks gradual moves of 25 basis points (a quarter point) in September and October are more likely to avoid creating panic in the peripheral bond markets,” the analysts said.
President Lagarde told a press briefing that inflation was “primarily on the upside”. The ECB now sees price growth averaging just over 2% in the eurozone in 2024, exceeding the 2% medium-term target.
It reached 8.1% in the eurozone in May and may top 7% for this year as a whole.
In Ireland, new figures showed consumer price inflation climbed to 7.8% in May, the highest rate for 38 years.
May’s figures again showed the effect of the war on Irish utility bills, as gas and electricity prices rose by annual rates of 57% and 41%, respectively, and other prices which are not related to the war in Ukraine such as home rents have now risen by over 11% since May 2021.
“This generally reads as the ECB finally realising they need to be in catch-up mode with rate hikes, at least out the gate,” economists led by James Rossiter at TD Securities said in a report.
“Once rates have reached positive territory, the pace of tightening can slow,” the analysts said.

PDSA is the UK’s largest vet charity, on a mission to improve pet wellbeing through prevention, education and treatment. Support from players of People’s Postcode Lottery helps us reach even more pet owners with vital advice and information.www.pdsa.org.uk
April was Stress Awareness Month when many of us took time to evaluate our mental health and well-being ... but what about the mental health of our pets?
PDSA Vet nurse Nina Downing said: “We know how important it is to monitor our own wellbeing, but our pets can also be affected by stress and anxiety. Though our furry friends can’t talk to us about how they’re feeling, there are many other ways we can spot signs of stress, and lots of things we can do to ensure our pets live a happy, heathy life."
Look for signs of pet stress
Spotting the signs of stress in pets – The most common signs of stress are changes in behaviour, low energy or a lack of appetite. If your dog is stressed, you may see them hiding, panting or licking their lips even though they’re not warm, exercising or eating. Their body may appear tense or they may yawn when not tired.
In some cases, they may start displaying unwelcome, destructive behaviour or toilet in strange places. Cats can also behave differently, hiding away, seeming tense, and toileting in places other than their litter tray. Cats can even become physically unwell as a result of stress, with some developing stress induced cystitis and other conditions.
Rabbits and other small pets aren’t immune to this either, so whatever pet you have, make sure you’re meeting their five welfare needs to help reduce chances of becoming stressed.
Spend quality time with pets
Quality time – “Companionship is one of a pet’s five welfare needs and an essential part of our pets’ overall wellbeing, so we must take some time each day to give them our love and attention in a way which our pet enjoys.
"It can be difficult to prioritise quality time in between busy schedules but walks and playtime are so important – this helps your pet to burn built up energy and keeps them mentally stimulated, in turn leaving them relaxed and happy.
Keep things happy and stress free
Create a safe space – “Just like we may have a favourite place to relax, our pets need their own space where they feel safe and secure, especially when we’re out of the house.
"This could be a den, crate (if crate trained), box or bed, just ensure it’s in a quiet place with access to food and water and plenty of room to move around. Cats will often prefer a safe spot somewhere high up.
Help pets to chill out
“Leaving on background noise such as a radio can also help some pets to feel more relaxed if you have to leave them alone for longer periods, but remember that dogs shouldn’t be left alone for any longer than four hours at a time.
Consistency is key – “Sticking to routine is great way to reduce pets’ stress, so stick to regular feeding and exercise routines if possible. It’s best to gradually implement any big changes, such as a new job schedule, to allow your pet to adjust to the shift in their daily lives.
Ask our expert
PDSA Vet Nurse Nina Downing answers all your pet questions
Dear PDSA vet, I'm thinking of buying a budgie for my children – where is the best place to buy one from? Saskia
Dear Saskia, budgies are very social birds who need the company of their own kind, so you’ll have to include this in your budget.
Pre-purchase research is vital so you can be sure that you can meet their welfare needs and fund their lifestyle and veterinary needs comfortably.
Your budgies will need plenty of space to fly and stretch their wings – an aviary or ‘indoor flight’ (a large cage with lots of flying space) is ideal.
Contact rehoming centres as they may have budgies needing a nice home.
Breeders and reputable pet shops should be your next step after this.
Make sure that anywhere you consider is clean and hygienic, that the birds look healthy, well cared for and the staff are knowledgeable. Visit www.pdsa.org.uk/budgiewelfare for more.
Dear PDSA Vet, How do I know when my hamster’s nails need trimming? Richie
Dear Richie, hamsters are busy animals who spend most of their waking hours scurrying around, which is usually enough to wear down their nails.
However, if your hamster’s nails seem to be growing at an odd angle, or are very long and curling round, they may need to be trimmed by your vet. Older hamsters sometimes need regular nail clipping, but you must take care not to cut into the quick (the blood vessel that runs through the middle of their nail).
Your vet or vet nurse can show you how to do this properly and recommend a suitable pair of nail clippers if you feel confident to do this yourself.
Dear PDSA Vet, I’ve noticed my rabbit is starting to get a bit chubby recently. She has a run but doesn’t like to go out much, and I’m concerned she’s getting overweight. How can I manage her weight? Harriette
Dear Harriette, rabbits need companionship from other rabbits for many reasons, including stimulation to move!
A lonely rabbit often stays still to not attract attention, so slowly introduce and bond neutered companion and you’ll find them enjoying life and exploring their run.
Rabbits’ daily diet should consist of at least their own body size in fresh hay, a handful of fresh, rabbit safe vegetables morning and evening, and a tablespoon of rabbit nuggets to supplement their hay.
Feeding the right diet and urging activity and weight loss with friends and toys aids weight loss and a vet can give you a safe weight loss programme. | https://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/read-this/pdsa-vets-advice-remember-to-look-after-your-pets-mental-health-3726503 | 2022-06-09T18:02:06Z | https://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/read-this/pdsa-vets-advice-remember-to-look-after-your-pets-mental-health-3726503 | true | 21 |
COLCHESTER, Vt., June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bia Diagnostics, an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory and global leader in food and nutraceutical analysis since 2007, has become the first analytical lab in the state of Vermont to be licensed for adult use cannabis, and is currently accepting samples at their 480 Hercules Drive, Colchester, Vermont location.

New Big Rock Blue Marlin director inherits soaring growth at annual fishing tournament
Madison Struyk didn’t hesitate when asked if she has already had an “oh snap” moment since taking over as director of the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament.
“The whole transition has been super bittersweet because everything I know and everything that I have learned came from Crystal (Hesmer),” Struyk said. “She was the most incredible boss and knowing that she built the Big Rock to what it is today, that made things a little easier.
"When I first started, I thought to myself, ‘This won’t be so bad.' But obviously there is a lot more responsibility on my part now and that can be a little scary. But I am taking it one day at a time.”
Winning team:WideSpread wins 63rd Big Rock Blue Marlin tournament
Teen vaults into podium position:Teen angler Cole Pirrung reels in 656.5-pound marlin at 2021 Big Rock Blue Marlin
Struyk was named director in October, after Hesmer stepped down following 24 years in the role. Struyk, a 2011 West Carteret graduate who later coached cheerleading at Croatan, had been director of the Keli Wagner Lady Angler Tournament since 2017.
This year’s lady angler tournament starts Friday. The main event of the Morehead City fishing tournament, a six-day shootout out in the Atlantic Ocean, kicks off Monday.
“We are excited every year, but this year seems to be a little more special, especially coming off our best year last year,” Struyk said. “To be in this position, it is exciting.”
Struyk started her Big Rock journey as a high school intern, selling T-shirts at the old weigh station. She returned during her time as a student at N.C. State, and later became a full-time retail assistant and social media coordinator.
“Growing up, I knew the Big Rock as a lot of people fishing and a lot of money being given away,” she said. “The older I got, and now that I have gotten married and created a life of my own, I see all the other entities of what the Big Rock provides. I see the bigger picture.”
WideSpread, a 51-foot Marine that ports in Oregon Inlet, is the defending champion after boarding a 656.5-pound marlin on the penultimate day. WideSpread won $1,678,250 from the tournament-record $4,749,200 purse.
From 2020 Big Rock:Jordan, Catch 23 make for memorable day in Morehead City
Last year’s event continued the trend of Big Rock growth. In addition to a record purse, 270 boats participated in 2021, also an all-time high. The 2020 tournament, in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic, had 205 boats and a $3,352,475 purse. In 2019, 184 boats fished for a purse of $2,869,050.
Struyk hopes for another big tournament this year, which will include Michael Jordan’s Catch 23, an 80-foot Viking, for the third straight year.
“Talking around town, all the marinas and slips are accounted for and that is usually a good indication of a lot of people being here,” she said. “A lot of people credit the growth to (former UNC and NBA star) Michael Jordan participating, but it is so much more than that. People are excited that we have added some new rules, have brought back the captain’s party. Social media has helped us grow and the charity donations have been bigger. Everybody wants to be a part of it all.”

Baby Formula Price Gauging: Over 30 New York Stores Warned by Attorney General
The New York State Attorney General has had to step in to combat the worst response to the current nationwide baby formula shortage: price gauging. Warnings have already been sent to over 30 stores over dramatic increases in many types of baby formulas as parents scramble to find ways to feed their young children.
Baby Formula Shortage in the Hudson Valley, NY
It's no secret that consumers are on high alert for any available formula. A recent local Facebook post shared the news that a Target store in Poughkeepsie had been restocked with formula, but within hours it was reportedly sold out. Unfortunately, many stores across the state have allegedly been taking advantage of the rising demand by raising their prices, with examples coming in from all over the state.
Baby Formula Price Gauging in New York State
In a press release, the office of the Attorney General shared that stores from Erie County to New York City had been sent warnings over price gouging after complaints were registered by New York State residents. "One consumer reported that a 19.8 ounce can of Enfamil Nutramigen formula, which typically sells for $44.99, was being sold by an Erie County retailer for $59.99. Another consumer reported that a 32-ounce ready-to-feed bottle of Enfamil NeuroPro was being sold by a Bronx retailer for $17.99 when it previously sold for $11.99", shared the press release. If you believe a store is price gauging, there are certain steps you can take.
Reporting Price Gauging in New York State
To report price gauging, be specific. Details such as dates of your attempted purchase, location of the store, as well as the brand and usual price of the product are all important details to include. Taking pictures of listed prices as well as including receipts if the product was purchased are also helpful pieces of documentation. You can report suspected price gauging here or by calling 800-771-7755. | https://hudsonvalleypost.com/baby-formula-price-gauging-ny/ | 2022-06-09T18:12:40Z | https://hudsonvalleypost.com/baby-formula-price-gauging-ny/ | true | 2 |
Stitch Fix is laying off 15% of salaried positions within its workforce, mostly in corporate roles and styling leadership positions, according to an internal memo that was seen by CNBC.
"We've taken a renewed look at our business and what is required to build our future," Stitch Fix CEO Elizabeth Spaulding said in the memo. "While this was an incredibly difficult decision, it was one needed to make to position ourselves for profitable growth."
The roughly 330 people were notified of the cuts on Thursday morning, the memo said. That number represents about 4% of the company's overall workforce.
The move comes three months after Stitch Fix cut its guidance for the year.
Stitch Fix's business is entirely online, was seen as a bright spot during earlier stages of the Covid pandemic, as spending shifted online. Now the company is facing higher transportation costs among other issues as consumers turn more to physical stores while pandemic restrictions ease.
Stitch Fix is set to report fiscal second-quarter results after the market close.
Shares of the company were down about 5.4% Thursday. It's market cap has fallen below $1 billion, as the stock has fallen about 55% this year.

Sales Revenue Of Homewares Market To Substantially Increase During Forecast Period Owing To Rapid Adoption Across Key Industries : Fact.MR
The global canned cocktails market is progressing at breakneck speed and is anticipated to surpass a valuation of US$ 146 billion in 2030. The introduction of novel features such as interlocking cans and threaded cans is boding well for market growth. However, the spread of COVID-19 is compelling consumers to stay indoors, which eventually diminishes the demand for canned cocktails. The shutdown of hotels, restaurants, and eateries combined with a decrease in production capacity is also adversely affecting the canned cocktails market. However, the market will bounce back with the resuming of food establishments around the world.

- The canned cocktails market in South Asia and Oceania is likely to experience high growth in the future, owing to the increasing demand for alcoholic beverages in the region.
- Regional cocktails with primary ingredients other than spirits, wine, and malts are likely to experience high growth in the future, owing to increasing demand for regional alcoholic beverages across the world.
- Non-alcoholic additive ingredients hold a major share of over 70% in the global market and are likely to continue to maintain their dominating position throughout the forecast period as well.
- Canned cocktails sold through retail stores hold a major share in the global canned cocktails market but are likely to lose their dominating position to hypermarkets/ supermarkets during the forecast period.

Most investors don’t have major gainers like TSLA or NVDA on their radar from the start.
The profusion of opinions on social media and financial blogs makes it impossible to distinguish between real growth potential and pure hype.
For the past decade, we have developed and perfected technology designed to help private investors, just like you, find the best opportunities, with the greatest upside potential, in any financial climate. | https://www.tipranks.com/news/article/intel-stock-buy-the-dip-or-bail-morgan-stanley-weighs-in/ | 2022-06-09T18:25:17Z | https://www.tipranks.com/news/article/intel-stock-buy-the-dip-or-bail-morgan-stanley-weighs-in/ | true | null |
How we nurtured our love through the campus chaos
What you need to know:
- The dating culture in university is often viewed as frivolous, filled with fleeting hookups and devoid of commitment
- Some, however, manage to forge relationships that outlast college and lead to marriage
As they dart from one lecture to the next, chase their assignments and do all that appertain academics, students find time to kick back and relax, to party, and also date.
Campus is the literal home of character development, and if most adults would open up on their experiences, you will hear tales of untold heartbreaks, funny circumstances of falling in and out of love, swapping of partners and other relationship dilemmas that can at best be used as cautionary tales.
As a result, quite a number of relationships never make it beyond university.
But there are always exceptions. There are friendships that graduate to courtship and pass the test of time to see marriage vows exchanged. Four such couples talk about how they managed to protect their love through the stormy campus life, to end up tying a knot with their spouses.
Antony Kamano, 30, and Lydia Mwathi, 29
When Antony met Lydia, now his wife, in the company of a friend 11 years ago, it was love at first sight.
Although he did not make his first move then, he sought her contacts from a mutual friend with a mind to call her later that day.
His first call to Lydia, however, came with disappointments. She got furious and demanded to know where he had gotten her contacts before hanging up on him.
But as fate would have it, the two would bump into each other after a couple of days in a church choir where they got to know each other. That marked the beginning of a relationship that ushered them into a happily-ever-after story.
"I played the piano while she sang in the praise and worship team, we would meet often after the church service, making our bond stronger," says Antony.
While Lydia was attracted by Antony's love and zeal for the gospel, he was awestruck by her physical beauty, humility and God-fearing nature.
The two studied different courses: a bachelor’s degree in science general for Lydia and business administration for Antony. They, however, had information technology as a common unit.
A few months into their relationship, Lydia was involved in a motorcycle accident that had her hospitalised for over a month and Antony moved into the ward to take care of her.
"My boyfriend, now husband, called and assured my mother that he would take good care of me. By doing so, he won my parents’ hearts," Lydia recalls.
Two years later, Antony introduced Lydia to his parents, who welcomed and checked on her frequently. "They sent shopping for two and called Lydia every time to ensure she received her package," says Antony.
The relationship, just like any other, came with its fair share of challenges, including the common disagreements. The couple admits that it takes deliberate effort of both parties to make a campus relationship work.
Antony, who was then a student leader, had a number of admirers eying him, something that made his girlfriend feel insecure. On several occasions, Lydia would pack and leave their room with a note behind explaining her whereabouts.
To make the relationship work, the couple made a habit of settling their differences each day before going to bed.
"Forgiveness is one big lesson I have learnt over the years. Mistakes will always happen, but it’s only proper if couples learn to understand and let go of some issues," Lydia offers.
Her husband adds: "A relationship will also survive if a couple is patient and transparent with each other, not forgetting to put God first."
According to Antony, campus relationships also need a couple to be committed and learn how to balance time and class work.
"One key secret to making a relationship work is effective communication. I remember we would call and text more than 10 times in a day, despite being in the same institution," Lydia reveals. To date, she says Antony remains the most loving, understanding, supportive, God-fearing man.
"Lydia is the best wife and mother of our children, the family pillar that’s supportive in every aspect," says Antony.
In April 2018, the couple had a colourful wedding in Nairobi and are now blessed with two children, three years and six months. The two have also established a music production company called Lyton Productions, where they both work.
The couple’s advice those in college or univeristy to learn how to settle their issues amicably, understand their partners, learn to forgive and understand that no one is perfect.
Cleophas Oluoch and Nicole Omollo, both are 26
In an effort to protect their young love, Cleophas and Nicole had to edit their friends list to eliminate “negative energy”.
While their focus was to grow old together, a number of naysayers thought that the relationship would not outlive the campus circus, so they killed some friendships, and so far, their relationship is six years old.
"We got to a point of keeping only friends who gave us positive energy while focusing on ourselves and listening to our hearts’ desires,” says Cleophas.
The duo met in 2017 while pursuing their degrees at Moi University, Eldoret. Cleophas studied information sciences while Nicole studied linguistics, media and communication.
Thanks to technology, the couple found themselves in a common WhatsApp group where, upon noticing her, Cleophas decided to make the first move.
"A single WhatsApp message changed everything, things have been flowing smoothly with us since then," he says. "We had similar interests and that was the spark. We both wanted something that would last beyond campus," says Cleophas.
To balance their social and academic life, the two, who were in their second year, decided to focus their energy on studies during the week and catch up on weekends.
"We had grades to protect, classes to attend as well as a healthy relationship to keep. At the end of the day, where would our love take us without good grades?" Nicole posed. The couple graduated in December 2020, each performing well.
The two, who graduated in 2020, got engaged this year, and made their parents aware of the relationship a week later. The wedding bells are soon sounding.
Cleophas best describes Nicole as a hardworking, prayerful, loving and decisive woman, who fully compliments him.
"Nicole is silent, and in that lies great reasoning. She is a good listener too, which makes us avoid unnecessary exchanges as I talk a lot," he says.
Nicole describes Cleophas as a loving, caring and visionary partner with a lot of potential, besides being supportive, quick to forgive and the best company.
Nicole is of the view that for a campus relationship to blossom, it is important for a couple to learn how to solve their problems without involving a third party or going to bed while holding a grudge.
"Saying sorry is not a weakness but a sign of greatness. We have learnt to forgive as soon as we start an argument," says Nicole, adding that prayer, faithfulness, patience and trust are the pillars of their relationship.
The couple also shares that it is also important for students to stay focused in their academic work while dating.
Irene Olwande, 28, and Boaz Ongote, 30
Irene, a communication and media technology student at Maseno University city campus in Kisumu, reached a decision alongside her parents to acquire additional skills to make up for her free daytime.
She chose to take up French language classes at the Alliance Françoise. Here, she met another student, Boaz.
Boaz had deferred his university studies due to financial difficulties. They both attended French classes in the morning and spent their afternoons rehearsing with a theater production group, Laser Arts Ensemble, that was incubated at the school.
At the time, Boaz harboured a dream to become a Disc Jockey, and his desire came to pass. Irene, however, a natural dancer, took part in the musical productions that incorporated contemporary dance, acting and music.
Boaz, found her beautiful, and so made the first move, one that the reserved Irene turned down as she disliked his loud group of friends. But he wasn’t the type to give up easily.
Six months later, after staging their productions, the team held a party to celebrate their hard work and milestones. As they walked home after the event, Boaz threw in a rather strange pick-up line.
He cheekily asked for Sh20 from Irene, which sparked their first hearty conversation that would lead to a relationship and marriage and two handsome boys. By the time they were staging their next production, the two had become an item.
Then Irene moved out of the girls’ hostels into her own space, where she habitually played host to her theatre group friends. Most of them lived with their parents and chose to relax at her house after rigorous rehearsal sessions. Boaz was one of them.
And when Irene raised concerns over insecurity in the area, Boaz moved in to protect her. That’s how the couple moved in together.
A dilemma then presented itself on how they’d inform their parents of their relationship. Already, friends had advised Irene against dating a man who was yet to attend college. Another fear was that they were of different tribes, which they feared their parents would not be happy about.
Looking back, they’re happy to have gained the acceptance of their parents back in 2013.
When they had dated for four years, the two felt they were ready to have a child.
Boaz ventured fully into dj'ying at nightclubs, something that brought a lot of friction to the young marriage. They weathered the turbulence.
He has since graduated with a bachelor in Sociology from Maseno University and no longer works in clubs. He now focuses on corporate functions, which offer more flexible timelines. As for Irene, she is a digital marketer and communication specialist.
The couple, who believe in the mantra, “never say quit”, advises young campus couples to learn to take time to understand and solve their issues and the need to draw boundaries on friendships that can threaten their union.
They duo say they’re at a better place in life because of supporting and appreciating each other, and fighting for their love.
“The bond we have created over time has been cemented by our children, the products of our love. We have invested in this to make it work and worth it,” Boaz says.
Carolyne Omwamba Bosibori,31, and Duncan Abuga,32
A Multimedia University students’ strike that saw the learners sent packing for nearly a month was a blessing in disguise for Duncan and Caroline. Their love story blossomed into a beautiful marriage of close to a decade now.
The two, who studied mass communication at the institution, were also neighbours living in the same compound off-campus. While Carolyne lived alone, Duncan shared a house with two collegemates. The four often converged at Duncan’s to while away their evenings telling stories, and many a times sharing a meal.
Duncan had the privilege to be the campus head of the institution’s radio station and he used the priviledge to teach Carolyne the ropes of radio production.
This camaraderie would go on for a while until a mutual friend let the cat out the bag, informing Carolyne that Duncan had a liking for her.
She didn’t think much of it as she was seeing someone else at the time. Weeks later, Duncan approached Carolyne and laid bare his intention of having her as his girlfriend, an overture that she respectfully turned down.
This, however, did not dent their friendship. Their routine evening wind downs continued, and months later, , she parted ways with the boyfriend.
Around the same time, the school administration sent the students away for nearly a month due to a strike.
With a lot of time in their hands, the four neighbours and friends spent a lot of time together. Slowly, the embers of love that had been suppressed sparked into a flame.
In the beginning of 2016, the couple moved in together when Carolyne got pregnant. It was too late for them to argue whether it was too early to bear children when both were young and jobless. Duncan had graduated the previous year while Carolyne was in her final year at the university.
The couple took up online writing jobs to keep their young family afloat. Fumbling through and picking life-lessons first-hand cemented their bond and the resolve to get married.
Like most students, the duo dreaded opening up to their parents about their decision. Duncan went first at it, but Carolyne only revealed their situation five months into the pregnancy.
For Duncan, it came easy as his family, through his sisters, had known about the relationship from way back. They had occasionally paid visits to the couple’s place in Rongai.
The couple now has two children, with the last born turning three in September. They advise dating college students that are hoping to get married to be patient with each other because the phrase that marriage is not a bed of roses is the reality.
Respect and compromise, they say, are necessary in the face of hardship.
As they plan to celebrate a decade together, the couple stays focused on their life’s goals, which they say have kept them together. The two reminisced how in the early stages of their relationships, they had a book in which they dutifully wrote down their dreams and aspirations, and worked towards meeting them. | https://nation.africa/kenya/life-and-style/mynetwork/how-we-nurtured-our-love-through-the-campus-chaos-3843782 | 2022-06-09T18:26:37Z | https://nation.africa/kenya/life-and-style/mynetwork/how-we-nurtured-our-love-through-the-campus-chaos-3843782 | true | 1 |
African swine fever detected in pig livestock near Rome for first time
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
ROME (Reuters) - Two cases of swine fever have been found in pigs at a farm near Rome, local media quoted health authorities as saying on Thursday, the first time in Italy that the African disease has spread from wild boar to livestock.
Alessio D'Amato, a health official of the Lazio region of which Rome is the capital, was quoted as telling La Repubblica newspaper that pigs on the farm will be culled.
African swine fever is harmless to humans but often fatal to pigs, leading to financial losses for farmers. It originated in Africa before spreading to Europe and Asia and has killed hundreds of millions of pigs worldwide.
China suspended pork imports from Italy in January after the illness was detected in a wild boar in the north-western Piedmont region.
The Italian government subsequently appointed a special commissioner to coordinate measures aimed at eliminating the disease.

Refugees are one of the most overlooked talent pools when it comes to recruitment, despite an abundance of skills, qualifications, experience and a multitude of other attributes desperately sought after in the increasingly competitive war for talent.
One of the key issues that impacts refugees’ employment prospects is employers’ misconceptions about refugees and the process of recruiting from this group of candidates.
Below, we list a number of misconceptions that often prevent HR managers from considering refugees as a valuable source of talent.
1. Refugees lack skills
War, prosecution, violence or conflict do not choose their victims. They are not discriminatory and could affect anyone. For this reason, refugees are a highly diverse cohort, coming from all stages of life and professional backgrounds.
They could be doctors, engineers or carpenters. Consequently, with refugees’ diverse educational and occupational backgrounds, every employer could potentially find talent relevant to their industry.
2. Refugees do not have relevant working rights
Refugees’ legal status differs from country to country, with many receiving states assigning full working rights to refugees. Resettlement agencies that support refugees and labour agencies that facilitate their employment will be able to advise whether a refugee candidate has valid working rights.
3. Refugees do not have the local language skills that are needed on the job
Many employers assume that the receiving country’s language proficiency is a precondition for securing employment in their organisation. While there are undoubtedly professions where such proficiency will be required, there are many others where it is not.
Proactive employers adjust their recruitment practices to allow employees of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds to demonstrate their skillsets in practice and during on-the-job trials, instead of asking them to explain what they can do.
Research shows that employees from CALD backgrounds can perform to the highest workplace standards despite language barriers.
Research shows that employees from CALD backgrounds have already proven their capacity to perform to the highest standard in workplaces where their language capabilities might not be on par with that of the local workforce.
4. We do not get any refugee applicants, so we cannot hire them
Many refugees hide their backgrounds – including their foreign qualifications – to avoid the stigma that might come with their humanitarian status or prejudice against the country of their ethnic origin.
Other refugees might not stand a chance to get through traditional recruitment processes that could differ significantly from those in their home countries. To this end, much refugee talent is wasted due to implicit (and explicit) biases and ethnocentric recruitment processes.
5. Refugee recruitment is primarily a corporate social responsibility activity
There is a strong business case for refugee recruitment. Companies such as IKEA and Woolworths, which engaged in large scale refugee employment programmes in Australia, consistently report the positive outcomes this engagement has had for their business.
Recent research shows that companies that hire refugees are reporting both high productivity and retention rates among this talent group. In addition, these companies have highlighted the positive organisational outcomes that refugee recruitment brings by increasing employee morale and work engagement.
6. Refugee recruitment requires huge resource commitment
Refugee recruitment can start small and take different forms of engagement, such as internships, traineeships, and short-term and part-time contracting. In fact, many support organisations that facilitate refugee employment recommend companies to begin with small steps by hiring one or two refugees and gradually increasing engagement.
Each company has a different recruitment process and corporate culture. To this end, workforce diversification is a step that will assume a unique shape depending on the size, industry and current levels of diversity within the firm.
7. Even if we are keen to hire refugees, there is nobody that could help us to start on this journey
Many employers assume that they are on their own when it comes to refugee recruitment. Despite good intentions, they do not know where to find refugee talent or access the right support to pursue refugee employment initiatives.
There are multiple non-governmental organisations and social enterprises that specialise in refugee recruitment. They can help in finding, screening and onboarding suitable job candidates. These organisations could also assist the employers in creating an inclusive workplace for the new and existing employees.
Refugee recruitment can be a win-win for the employer, the refugee, and society at large.
Collaborative approaches can take various forms, and there are numerous resources, such as an Employers Guide to Refugee Employment, that could help employers take the first step.
Refugee recruitment can be a win-win for the employer, the refugee, and society at large. While many misconceptions prevent corporate engagement, research shows that these are often unfounded.
To change the status quo, employers need to open their minds and hearts to refugee job seekers. | https://www.hrzone.com/talent/acquisition/the-overlooked-talent-seven-misconceptions-hindering-refugee-recruitment | 2022-06-09T18:32:05Z | https://www.hrzone.com/talent/acquisition/the-overlooked-talent-seven-misconceptions-hindering-refugee-recruitment | true | 1 |

Daley Blind has admitted it was a dream to play for Manchester United.
Blind signed for United for £13.8m in the summer of 2014 and he spent four years at the club, playing under Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho. Blind won the FA Cup, the League Cup and the Europa League at Old Trafford and he started in two of those finals.
United have won just three trophies since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club and Blind won all three pieces of silverware. The popular and versatile defender was eventually sold by Mourinho in 2018 and he re-signed for Ajax, where he's played since.

Blind, 32, has enjoyed success since leaving Old Trafford, most notably winning three Eredivisie titles with Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman was recently back in Manchester and he reflected on his time at United, admitting that it was a dream to play for the club.
"I only have good memories here," Blind told United's in-house media.
"Winning titles, winning trophies with this club was an amazing feeling and I was playing in those finals and being part of that team, so they are moments in my career that I will never forget.
"But all the experience of being a player at Manchester United was an amazing journey. It sounds a bit cheap to say, but it was a dream come true to play for a club like this. It's good memories here and I really enjoyed my four years at the club."

You need to make $87K a year to afford average home in Phoenix
You need to make at least $87,026 a year to afford a median-priced home, according to the latest analysis by real estate company Redfin.
- That's $27,302 more than was needed a year ago.
Why it matters: The annual income needed to buy a house in Phoenix increased by nearly 46% while Valley wages only grew by about 6.4% in the past year.
- Out of the cities included in Redfin's report, the needed income jump is the second highest behind Tampa Bay, Florida.
The big picture: Housing prices in metro Phoenix began climbing quickly at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and have soared to a record median price of about $470,000.
- A recent analysis from Florida Atlantic University researchers shows metro Phoenix housing prices are about 58% over the historic trend line — making the Valley the sixth-most overpriced real estate market in the country.
- Boise, Idaho; Austin, Texas; Ogden, Utah; Las Vegas and Atlanta were the only cities more overpriced.
Details: Ken Johnson, report co-author and a FAU economics professor, said when a market gets as overpriced as Phoenix', one of two things will happen: Dramatic price decreases — like the 2008 housing bubble burst — or a long, sustained period of unaffordability.
- The city is likely headed for the latter because the Valley has a severe shortage of housing and is expected to increase in population by at least 16% in the next 10 years, Johnson said.
What he's saying: Johnson said the average person in metro Phoenix buying a home right now would have to spend about 40% of their income on their mortgage. That should be closer to 28%.
- "There's no way out of this without some pain," Johnson said. "Until you can get back to the trend and incomes catch up you're going to be experiencing some pretty unaffordable rent and home prices in the Phoenix area."
What's next: The good news is that the market is starting to show signs of softening, and record-high monthly price spikes will likely be replaced with more gradual growth, Mark Stapp, executive director of the Master of Real Estate Development program at Arizona State University, told Axios.
- Federal interest rate increases have decreased buyer demand, which has led to a slight uptick in supply and stopped the hyper-competitive home buying we've seen in the past two years.
Yes, but: "The bad news is [home prices] are still going up and with interest rates rising you're pushing more people out of buying and you're keeping them in the rental market and you're seeing the same supply issue there," Stapp said.
- "That's really where there's a huge affordability concern," he said.

Workers at a Trader Joe's in western Massachusetts have filed for a union election, following the lead of workers at other companies across the U.S. If the vote is successful, the grocery store in Hadley, Mass., would become the first unionized store in the nationwide chain of more than 500 locations.
The past year has seen a wave of unionizing across industries, including at large companies such as Starbucks, REI and Amazon, as the pandemic worsened working conditions for service workers. Maeg Yosef, a crew member and union organizer at the Hadley store, said the unionizations at Starbucks partly inspired the push for a union at the Trader Joe's location.
"Our benefits and our pay were just less supportive than they had been previously," she said. "We saw a lot of changes to our retirement and our health care. We saw our wages not keeping up with increased cost of living and then the pandemic just added to that sense of feeling undervalued and unappreciated."
Yosef said concerns about health and safety along with changes in health care and retirement benefits motivated the unionization campaign.
According to Yosef, retirement benefits for employees — called "crew members" — have decreased dramatically over the 18 years she has worked at Trader Joe's. When she started, crew members were guaranteed a 15% retirement contribution from the company each year. While Yosef worked at the store, that decreased to a 10% guarantee, until last summer, when the company changed the language in its handbook to state that employees were no longer guaranteed a retirement contribution.
Crew members were also required to work more hours a week to maintain health insurance, from around 20 to 30. Yosef, who is currently recovering from COVID-19, said pandemic restrictions were robust at the beginning of the pandemic but were lifted "as soon as possible," causing concern among employees about health and safety.
Trader Joe's did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The first push for a union at the store happened earlier in the pandemic, Yosef said. It wasn't successful, and in the beginning of this year, she and other crew members began discussing the possibility again.
In May, a majority of workers voiced their support for a union and gave the company 72 hours to voluntarily recognize the organization. That didn't happen, which led to the workers filing for an election with the National Labor Relations Board this week. Rather than joining an existing organization, the filing would create an independent union specifically for Trader Joe's employees.
The union filing is part of a wave of unionization efforts across the nation over the past year, with successes at big-name companies such as Starbucks and Amazon. Union election petitions were up 57% in the first half of the 2022 fiscal year compared to the year before, according to the NLRB.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Jabari Smith didn’t even attempt to minimize the significance of what was happening. He was in an NBA gym, wearing NBA apparel, getting guidance from NBA coaches.
It was a big moment for him.
It’ll lead to a big decision for the Orlando Magic.
Smith did the first of his two planned pre-NBA draft workouts on Thursday, the former Auburn All-American going through drills for the Magic — the team that holds the No. 1 pick for the June 23 draft. His other workout will be for Oklahoma City, the team that has the No. 2 selection.
“If I said I wasn’t nervous, I’d be lying,” Smith said. “Coming into it, I was nervous. But everybody talking to me and getting me through it just kind of relaxed me a little bit. And then, just have some fun with it — that’s what I tried to do.”
The workout at the AdventHealth Practice Facility at Amway Center, the team’s home arena, was closed to everyone except Magic personnel. But a few fans, so to speak, got in anyway: As Smith’s workout went on, the doors on one end of the court kept opening as interested parties kept arriving — Magic players, including Cole Anthony, Mo Bamba and Jonathan Isaac.
There was applause at times, even a few audible cheers. Clearly, at least some of the onlookers were enjoying the show. Smith said he was getting help from the players who were watching, even if it just meant a few handshakes and a quick bit of praise.
“It was my first workout, so the first experience that I’ll never forget, really,” said the 19-year-old Smith. “It was it was fun to get out here and push myself and get through it.”
The consensus is that there are three players above most others in the draft — Smith, Gonzaga’s Chet Holmgren and Duke’s Paolo Banchero. All are forwards, all at least 6-foot-10 (Holmgren is a 7-footer), all played one year of college ball and all figure to be meriting serious consideration for the No. 1 spot.
Smith averaged 16.9 points and 7.4 rebounds in his lone season at Auburn, shooting 43% from the field and 42% from 3-point range. Against teams that were ranked in the AP Top 25 when facing Auburn, Smith averaged 20.8 points and 6.4 rebounds. But it’s the two-way game — Smith excels defensively — that might rate him the edge in the race to be the No. 1 selection.
“I just think it’s my will to win that sets me apart,” Smith said. “I don’t really care about stats and glamour and all that. I just want to really win and play to win every game.”
When it was over and the workout was done, Smith looked around for a moment at the gym, taking it all in. On Thursday, he was a guest, auditioning.
In a couple weeks, the same gym might become home.
“I think I can fit in it really well,” Smith said. “Seeing the guys and seeing the players, this is a young team, one of the youngest in the league. So, adding me would just add another young player who was hungry and got a lot left in the tank. So, I’ll add some energy and just another person wants to come in and work and get this organization where it needs to be.”

BALTIMORE (AP) — An investigation has found that a former Maryland State Police employee created a challenge coin inscribed with the agency logo along with graphic imagery and offensive language, officials announced.
Col. Woodrow W. Jones III, the superintendent, said in a statement Wednesday that he was “disgusted” that anyone who wore the state police uniform would create something that “demeans others and disregards our core values.”
The Baltimore Sun reported last week that photos of the coin obtained by the newspaper show the state police insignia with images of female anatomy and references to people being offended. Challenge coins are tokens that people in organizations such as law enforcement collect to commemorate events or membership.
The department said last week that leaders became aware of this coin in January but they had not determined who was responsible. The former employee left the agency in 2012.
The Coalition of Black Maryland State Troopers, the National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives and others questioned what the coin said about the agency’s culture and whether the coin was a message to Black troopers who raised issues about racism.
Sgt. Anthony Alexander, the coalition's president, said last week that the coin showed more change is needed to the agency's culture.
“This action has disrupted our efforts to improve relationships among all our employees and with the citizens we serve,” Jones said in the statement. | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Official-State-police-ex-employee-created-17230998.php | 2022-06-09T18:47:06Z | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Official-State-police-ex-employee-created-17230998.php | true | 20 |

New Delhi: Delhi Police and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have joined hands to evolve and impart comprehensive disaster management skills at all levels of basic police training, officials said on Thursday.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to this effect was signed by Satyendra Garg, Special Commissioner of Police (Training) and Atul Karwal, DG, NDRF at police headquarters in the presence of Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana, they said.
According to the police, the partnership aims to disseminate practical knowledge and procedures among police personnel and to make them aware about their role in the event of disaster through certificate course comprising live demonstrations, lectures, workshops and group discussions to imbibe skills of disaster management.
Speaking on the occasion, Asthana underlined the need for a dedicated unit of Delhi Police for disaster management on the lines of State Disaster Response Force as building such a force for Delhi is a necessity.
“During disasters, police is the first agency to respond and hence there is an urgent need to equip them with the logistical and technical know how of Disaster Management considering last month’s horrific fire incident in Mundka and recent incident of rain and storm that saw high winds and uprooting of trees leading to traffic jams in various parts of cities,” he said.
“There is a need for training of basic techniques of Disaster management for local police as well and this MoU is an excellent initiative in that direction,” he added. | https://www.siasat.com/delhi-police-signs-mou-with-ndrf-to-train-cops-in-disaster-management-2345754/ | 2022-06-09T18:53:54Z | https://www.siasat.com/delhi-police-signs-mou-with-ndrf-to-train-cops-in-disaster-management-2345754/ | true | 2 |

VILLA COMALTITLÁN, Mexico (AP) — A group of migrants that once numbered as many as 5,000 split on Thursday about whether to keeping walking through southern Mexico toward the U.S. border.
A group of about 2,000 mainly younger male migrants set out walking Thursday from the southern town of Huixtla.
But throngs of families with children decided to wait in Huixtla to see if they could get some sort of temporary exit visa. The families were tired after walking some 25 miles since departing the city of Tapachula, near the Guatemalan border, on Monday.
The goal of almost all the migrants is to reach the U.S. border. But none of the migrant caravans that have crossed Mexico starting in 2018 have ever walked all the way to the border, which is over 1,000 miles to the north.
While some caravan participants reached the border in the past, it was due to bus or car rides — which the government now tries to prevent.
Venezuelan migrant Junior Ramírez waited for papers with about 15 members of his extended family at a National Immigration Institute post outside Huixtla, where the migrants slept in the open air on Tuesday and Wednesday.
“Up to now they haven't told us whether they are going to give them to us,” Ramírez said. “Other migrants have gotten them and left. All we want to do is keep going.”
Luis García Villagrán, a migrant advocate traveling with the caravan, said Mexican authorities have been giving out the equivalent of exit visas, which give migrants between one and three months to leave the country.
Theoretically, a migrant carrying such papers will either request asylum or leave Mexico — presumably over the U.S. border — and wouldn't be sent back to their home country.
Josué Mendoza Rojas and Josmar de Nazaret Cárdenas, two other Venezuelan migrants, were in the same situation in Huixtla, trying to decide whether to keep walking.
“It's all confused,” said Mendoza Rojas said, referring to the fact that migrants had tried to draw up their own lists of who would be in line to get papers. “There are about 40 lists, and some people left without papers.”
The couple left Venezuela two months ago with their 1-year-old child and applied for an asylum appointment in Tapachula. But they couldn't get an appointment until August, and without enough money to wait until then, they decided to leave and start walking north.
“We don't know what we're going to do yet,” he said.
Venezuelans make up a large proportion of this caravan, the biggest of the year, in contrast to previous ones. A factor appears to be a policy change implemented by Mexico in January requiring Venezuelans to acquire a visa to enter the country.
Before that change, Venezuelans had flown to Mexico City or Cancun as tourists and then made their way comfortably to the border. Many made it from home to the U.S. border in as little as four days.
Encounters with Venezuelans at the southwest border plunged from 22,779 in January to 3,073 in February, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. In April, the most recent month available, there were 4,103 encounters.
But the flow of Venezuelan migrants has continued. Since January, more than half of the 34,000 migrants who crossed the treacherous Darien Gap between Colombia and Panama were Venezuelans, according to Panama’s National Migration Service.
The visa requirement drove the flow of Venezuelans into the shadows. Those traveling in the caravan are just the visible sign of who is traveling through Mexico out of public view. Many other Venezuelans have likely turned to smugglers.
Recently, the Mexican government has dissolved other caravans by offering to move migrants to other cities where they could legalize their status more quickly. In some cases, the government has tried to tire the migrants out by preventing passing trucks and buses from giving them rides.
Finding consensus on managing migration flows in the region was a top priority for representatives meeting this week at the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles. | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Migrants-split-on-whether-to-keep-walking-through-17230959.php | 2022-06-09T18:57:08Z | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Migrants-split-on-whether-to-keep-walking-through-17230959.php | false | 30 |
Prosecutors cannot use digital cameras seized from an accused U.S. Capitol rioter seen boasting on YouTube about “fighting cops and shit,” a federal judge ruled on Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb, a Joe Biden appointee, was among the slate of judicial nominees with a legal background as public defender, as part of the 46th president’s effort to promote diversity on the federal bench.
Now that sensitivity to the due process rights of the accused has redounded to the benefit of Paul Russell Johnson, a Virginia man whom the government identifies as having had a key role in the failed effort to block the certification of Biden’s victory.
“The defendant opened the floodgates to the January 6 riot,” the Justice Department wrote in a 31-page brief that opposed Johnson’s motion to suppress that evidence. “What followed were hours of terror, violence, and destruction as thousands of rioters made their way onto the Capitol grounds and inside the U.S. Capitol Building.”
Johnson is now being prosecuted together with Ryan Samsel, James Tate Grant, Stephen Chase Randolph, and Jason Benjamin Blythe, who all allegedly worked together to overturn the barrier, knocking officers to the ground.
Samsel is alleged to be the attacker of U.S. Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards, the first witness expected to testify at tonight’s debut hearing of the Jan. 6 Committee.
In his recent motion, Johnson claims that he never entered the Capitol and left when it got “unruly.” He disputed the admission of evidence authorities obtained during a pre-dawn raid on April 13, 2021, which his defense attorney asserts “deeply traumatized the kids and parents of a family” with assault weapons and an armored vehicle.
“That unreasonable pre-dawn raid is paradigmatic of the unreasonable search and seizure of
Mr. Johnson’s electronic devices,” his defense attorney Kobie Flowers, from the Washington-based firm Brown Goldstein and Levy, wrote in a 19-page brief. “That excessive show of force of that pre-dawn raid is a metaphor for the overbreadth of the search warrant in this case.”
Johnson argued that the search warrant did not authorize the seizure of certain electronic devices, including a a desktop computer, two digital cameras, and four walkie-talkies.
But Johnson’s limited victory was decidedly mixed.
“I’m granting Mr. Johnson’s motion with respect to the cameras and denying with respect to the other issues,” Cobb announced at the start of the proceedings.
The judge said that there is not much evidence suggesting that Johnson used the walkie-talkies, but the warrant specifically referred to them as an item to be seized. She ultimately found that this met the deferential standard for evidence at this stage.
“I find this affidavit to be quite detailed and lengthy,” Cobb said, finding the officers acted in “good faith” by seizing them.
Whether the walkie-talkies are relevant and admissible at trial is a separate issue, Cobb added.
As for the portion of the ruling in Johnson’s favor, Cobb said: “I don’t believe a digital camera is a ‘mobile device,'” at least not as is “commonly understood.”
“I thought that was a bit strange,” the judge said, noting that the phrase is typically defined as smartphones and tablets.
The Jan. 6 Committee’s first public hearing will start at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. Congress members are expected to make the case that former President Donald Trump was “at the center” of a “coordinated, multi-step effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election,” culminating in the attack on the Capitol.

The James Webb Space telescope is expected to give NASA its clearest view into deep space. But before the telescope beams back its first photos, it is already encountering issues in space.
NASA reported this week that a small meteoroid struck the telescope sometime between May 23-25. The object smacked one of the primary mirror segments, which will cause NASA to realign the mirror to reduce distortion caused by the impact.
The space agency said it anticipated the telescope would be bombarded with dust-sized particles, and the strike was larger than anticipated.
“We always knew that Webb would have to weather the space environment, which includes harsh ultraviolet light and charged particles from the Sun, cosmic rays from exotic sources in the galaxy, and occasional strikes by micrometeoroids within our solar system,” said Paul Geithner, technical deputy project manager at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. “We designed and built Webb with performance margin – optical, thermal, electrical, mechanical – to ensure it can perform its ambitious science mission even after many years in space.”
NASA said that the telescope’s beginning-of-life performance is still well above expectations, and the observatory is fully capable of performing the science it was designed to achieve.
The Webb telescope is expected to essentially replace the Hubble telescope as NASA’s primary view into deep space. The agency expects Webb to send back its first images July 12.
“As we near the end of preparing the observatory for science, we are on the precipice of an incredibly exciting period of discovery about our universe. The release of Webb’s first full-color images will offer a unique moment for us all to stop and marvel at a view humanity has never seen before,” said Eric Smith, Webb program scientist at NASA Headquarters. “These images will be the culmination of decades of dedication, talent, and dreams – but they will also be just the beginning.” | https://www.kgun9.com/news/national/brand-new-nasa-telescope-struck-by-meteoroid | 2022-06-09T19:02:46Z | https://www.kgun9.com/news/national/brand-new-nasa-telescope-struck-by-meteoroid | false | 20 |
