India among 12 economies on currency ‘Monitoring List’ of US treasury
- Country:
- United States
India on Friday remained on the US treasury department’s currency “Monitoring List” of major trading partners as Washington placed India along with 11 other major economies that merit close attention to their currency practices and macroeconomic policies.
The countries are China, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Italy, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam and Mexico, said the US Department of Treasury in its semi-annual Report to Congress on Macroeconomic and Foreign Exchange Policies of Major Trading Partners of the United States.
All except Taiwan and Vietnam (which were subject to enhanced engagement) were on the Monitoring List in the December 2021 Report, a media release said.
“The Administration continues to strongly advocate for our major trading partners to carefully calibrate policy tools to support a strong and sustainable global recovery. An uneven global recovery is not a resilient recovery. It intensifies inequality, exacerbates global imbalances and heightens risks to the global economy,'' said Secretary of the Treasury Janet L Yellen.
Explaining its decision to keep India on the list, the Treasury said that India met two of the three criteria in the December 2021 and the April 2021 Reports, having a significant bilateral trade surplus with the US and engaged in persistent, one-sided intervention over the reporting period.
“India met only the significant bilateral trade surplus threshold in this Report,” the Treasury said, adding that India will remain on the Monitoring List until it meets fewer than two criteria for two consecutive Reports.
According to the report, India (with USD 569.9 billion) has the fourth largest foreign exchange after China (USD 3.2 trillion), Japan (USD 1.2 trillion) and Switzerland (USD 1 trillion).
“RBI foreign exchange purchases in recent years have resulted in an elevated level of reserves. As of December 2021, foreign exchange reserves totalled USD 570 billion, equivalent to 18 per cent of GDP and 209 per cent of short-term external debt at remaining maturity,” it said.
In the 2021 External Sector Report, the IMF judged that India’s reserves at the time stood at 197 per cent of the IMF’s reserve adequacy metric as of end-2020.
The Treasury said that similar to many Asian emerging market peer currencies, the rupee weakened against the US dollar over the course of 2021, depreciating by 1.9 per cent.
Rupee volatility was pronounced during the first half of 2021 as the economy contended with the large, second COVID-19 outbreak; subsequently, the rupee depreciated steadily against the dollar during most of the second half of the year, it said.
“By contrast, the rupee held up relatively well compared to the currencies of many India’s regional trading partners -- on a nominal effective and real effective basis, the rupee appreciated 0.8 per cent and 2.2 per cent over 2021, respectively,” said the report.
The Indian authorities, it said, should allow the exchange rate to move flexibly to reflect economic fundamentals, limit foreign exchange intervention to circumstances of disorderly market conditions, and refrain from further significant reserve accumulation.
“As the economic recovery progresses, the authorities should continue to pursue structural reforms that can help lift productivity and living standards, while supporting an inclusive and green recovery,” the Treasury added.

Sweden seeks constructive progress with Turkey over NATO bid
While not referring directly to Turkey, Linde said Swedish membership in NATO could "change the conditions for arms exports within our national regulatory framework". The minister said talks between representatives of Sweden, Finland, Turkey and NATO were being held in a constructive spirit.
Sweden seeks to make constructive progress in talks with Turkey on Ankara's objections to the Nordic country's application to join the NATO defence alliance, Foreign Minister Ann Linde said on Friday.
Finland and Sweden applied to join NATO last month in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine but face opposition from Turkey, which accuses them of supporting and harbouring Kurdish militants and other groups it deems terrorists. The objections caught Finnish, Swedish and many NATO officials by surprise and have dimmed prospects for rapid progress on the membership bids ahead of a NATO summit in Madrid later this month.
"Our application has received broad support among NATO members," Linde said in a foreign policy declaration in the Swedish parliament. "Our ambition is to, in a constructive spirit, make progress on the questions that Turkey has raised." Linde added that there should be no doubts that Sweden stood together with allies against terrorism.
"We take Turkey's security very seriously and we will as a NATO member contribute to security for all NATO members, Turkey included," she told a news conference later in the day. Sweden's government survived a no-confidence vote on Tuesday with the help of a lawmaker whose demands for support for Kurds in Northern Syria could complicate its attempts to join NATO, all of whose members must approve any new entrants.
Ankara has also hit out at Swedish authorities for halting arms exports to Turkey in 2019 as the country launched a military operation in northern Syria. While not referring directly to Turkey, Linde said Swedish membership in NATO could "change the conditions for arms exports within our national regulatory framework".
The minister said talks between representatives of Sweden, Finland, Turkey and NATO were being held in a constructive spirit. Asked at the news conference in what way talks were constructive she replied: "They are not called off." She said she had been very surprised by Turkey's objections, which were first voiced publicly shortly after applications were handed in.
"We had had talks (before) with Turkey where they had said that 'we certainly have views on various things that we can discuss where we aren't of the same opinion, but we welcome Sweden and Finland'," she said.

Try the meatless Plant-Based Mandu available in Gochujang, sweet and spicy fermented condiment popular in Korean cooking or opt for the savory flavors of K-BBQ.
"In recent years, consumers are increasingly seeking food adventures, particularly ethnic foods that have for years received less recognition in the US, such as Korean foods; Gochujang, Kimchi, and others. Mandu are these fantastic Korean style dumplings and now is a great time to bring them to market with these same authentic flavors" said Brian Tompkins, Vice President of Sales.
Packed with Korean-inspired flavors, these dumpling provide an answer to a void in the freezer aisle - hearty, satisfying meals that consumers can feel good about enjoying. O'Food dumplings offer 10 or more grams of protein, delivering meals bursting with flavor.

A public policy analyst says Tuesday’s recall of a liberal, soft-on-crime district attorney proves that even residents of “bluest of blue” San Francisco can reach a breaking point when it comes to out-of-control crime in their city.
Sixty percent of San Francisco voters booted District Attorney Chesa Boudin from office earlier this week following a heated campaign that captivated the country and bitterly divided Democrats over crime, policing, and public safety reform in the overwhelmingly liberal city. The “City by the Bay” has been suffering from increased homicides and gun crimes and witnessing highly publicized “smash-and-grab” robberies from department stores.
Abraham Hamilton III is General Counsel and public policy analyst for American Family Association. During an appearance Wednesday on American Family Radio, the former criminal prosecutor said it’s clear San Franciscans have received a dose of reality from Boudin’s actions.
“[They argue] there’s no such thing as a sin nature, there’s no such thing as criminals, there’s no such thing as violent criminals,” he mused. “But oh, wait a minute – yes, there are. Twenty-percent increase in crimes, upticks in homicides, upticks in random violence against elderly citizens on the street. [Then] they realize: We made a horrible mistake.”
He observed: “You don’t get any bluer than San Francisco – and San Franciscans are saying Listen, this regressivism is too far … even for us.”
But despite Boudin’s ouster, Hamilton emphasized, the city remains quite liberal.
“They elected these people – but they’re realizing that putting them in office [and] actually allowing them access to the levers of power has detrimental, real-world consequences,” he added. “They suffer when they put these types of people in power.”
Hamilton expects two things will happen moving forward.
“[I hope] this is a trend in these ‘bluest of blue’ places – and that they realize that these elections have real-world consequences,” said the attorney. “[When] you put these people in power, this is what you can expect to follow when they implement their radical Orwellian vision for living.”
Boudin was one of dozens of very liberal district attorneys and attorneys general bought with George Soros money who have been notoriously soft on crime (e.g., Philadelphia’s Larry Krasner and Chicago’s Kim Foxx). Hamilton argues that even the most liberal of radical liberals want to be safe in their own community.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed, who had backed a more moderate Democrat in the 2019 district attorney race, will name Boudin’s replacement.

Two Ireland stars have been ruled out of the UEFA Nations League clash against Scotland, Stephen Kenny has confirmed ahead of the game.
The Ireland manager is under pressure after disappointing back-to-back defeats to Armenia and Ukraine to open the campaign, and needs a result at the Aviva Stadium to get things back on track.
However Kenny will be once against without his captain Seamus Coleman, while fellow defender John Egan has also been ruled out after picking up an injury in Tuesday’s 1-0 defeat to Ukraine, while Ireland sweating over the fitness of two further players.
Speaking in his press conference on Friday, Kenny said: ‘Seamus Coleman has been ruled out. He’s obviously come in with the groin injury that he had at the end of the season so he’s been ruled out and has left the camp so it out of the games.
‘John Egan has been ruled out as well with an ankle injury. And we’ve one or two late fitness tests on one or two players but, hopefully, everyone else will be okay.’
Ireland took an eight-match unbeaten streak into the Nations League, but back-to-back defeats means Kenny is winless in eight matches in the competition.
Asked what he can do to change things, Kenny — who has vowed to ‘freshen up’ his side against Scotland — said: ‘We just have to get ourselves ready, there’s changes in the team.
‘Players who are regulars, Seamus Coleman, John Egan, Matt Doherty are missing tomorrow against Scotland. There are opportunities for other players to come in and make their claim.
‘The atmosphere in the team is always good, there’s a good attitude, but we are disappointed we haven’t got any points. We have lost two games without hardly conceding a chance in the two games. I think the back three last night were really on top of their opponents.
‘Ukraine had a really good midfield two and played well on the night. We are going into the game against Scotland tomorrow with a home crowd, it will be a passionate home crowd.
‘Scotland have been on a great run of results apart from their game against Ukraine. They have a strong squad. From our point of view it’s a full house and we want to go and try to win the game.
‘We are at home with a passionate crowd, we want to be positive in our approach and we just want to get better in the final third than we have been.’ | https://extra.ie/2022/06/10/sport/soccernews/ireland-scotland-injuries-stephen-kenny | 2022-06-10T14:32:21Z | https://extra.ie/2022/06/10/sport/soccernews/ireland-scotland-injuries-stephen-kenny | false | 1 |

Researchers reveal secret find of 340-year-old sunken royal warship
By Farouq Suleiman
LONDON, June 10 (Reuters) - A royal warship that sank off the east coast of Britain more than 300 years ago while carrying a future king was unveiled by researchers on Friday who kept the discovery secret for 15 years to protect the wreck from damage.
In 1682, King James II of England, who was the Duke of York at the time, managed to narrowly escape the sinking ship named "The Gloucester" which went down off the coast of eastern England after hitting a sandbank. He became king of England, and King James VII of Scotland three years later.
"The discovery promises to fundamentally change understanding of 17th-century social, maritime and political history," said Claire Jowitt, Professor of Early Modern Cultural History at University of East Anglia.
"It is an outstanding example of underwater cultural heritage of national and international importance."
Its final location, some 45km (28 miles) off the coast from Great Yarmouth, was a mystery until it was discovered by diving brothers Julian and Lincoln Barnwell in 2007 after a four-year search.
"On my descent to the seabed the first thing I spotted were large cannon laying on white sand, it was awe-inspiring and really beautiful," said Lincoln Barnwell.
The shipwreck revealed various historical artefacts, including a bottle bearing a glass seal with the crest of the Legge family - ancestors of the first U.S. President George Washington.
"Because the ship sank so quickly, nobody would have rescued anything," Jowitt said, describing it as "a fantastic time capsule".
Other artefacts include navigational equipment, personal possessions, clothes and wine bottles - some with their contents intact.
The university estimated that between 130 to 250 people might have died in the incident, which they said had threatened to change the course of history.

"When I Close My Eyes" Launches with Request for Listeners to Perform Random Acts of Kindness on June 10th
CINCINNATI, June 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Sister Accord, the organization that is changing the way girls and women treat, support, and interact with each other, announced today two efforts in honor of the late Nella D. Jackson, the mother of The Sister Accord Founder and CEO, Sonia Jackson Myles. The first is the release of the single "When I Close My Eyes," and the second is an announcement of this year's winners of The Sister Accord Foundation's Nella D. Jackson Memorial Scholarship, which gives three deserving female students $5,000 each towards their college education.
"My mother, Nella D. Jackson, was an incredible person and an inspiration to so many," said Jackson Myles. "I have chosen June 10th, the day that she transitioned in 2019, to honor her with the release of "When I Close My Eyes," a tribute to her and the challenge of losing a loved one. When I originally wrote the lyrics for this song, it was to help me through my own grief, but it quickly became apparent that during these times with the millions of deaths due to Covid-19, violence, mental health issues, and other causes, this message of hope is for everyone. I've also chosen this time to celebrate three amazing young women who consistently uphold the three pillars of The Sister Accord. As my mother instilled in me, it is through education that we will truly change the world."
"When I Close My Eyes" was released globally today and is being heard in 100+ countries, on six continents. Listeners around the world will be asked to perform random acts of kindness in what Jackson Myles has titled "The Global Love Release." Lyrics for "When I Close My Eyes" were written by Jackson Myles and Grammy-nominated musician, singer, songwriter, and producer, Paul Randolph, and aim to inspire those suffering from the loss of loved ones to persevere through the stages of grief which can bring a multitude of feelings – from sadness to joy – as felt in this song. Listen to the song here.
Faith Daniels, Program Director, WROU Dayton, and Host of Community Focus, shared her love for the song, saying, "I wanted to extend the invitation to people who have lost loved ones from Covid-19, gun violence, domestic violence, abuse, or suicide. There are so many people that will find joy in this music, and today we will celebrate this beautiful song and random acts of kindness."
"The FM OMNI-CHANNEL is excited to add new house music, "When I Close My Eyes," to our playlist. For all new adds, we look for music with a 'heartbeat' – a combination of message, rhythm, and beat. When it's there, as it is with "When I Close My Eyes," you feel it. And, no pun intended, I expect House Heads all over the world to be pumping it," said Tracey V. Bell, President and CEO, The FM Omni-Channel.
Jackson Myles today also announced the 2022 recipients of The Sister Accord Foundation's annual Nella D. Jackson Memorial Scholarships which were made possible by the ongoing generosity and support of The 7 Principles Foundation as well as entrepreneur Daymond John and philanthropists Paul and Annette Venables. Winners are:

Jayda was the inaugural Founder and President of The Sister Accord student organization at The Ohio State University and will be furthering her education at Case Western Reserve University School of Law in the fall.
- Sameera Shields, a graduate of St. Timothy's School, where she was on the school's honor roll and participated in various musicals. Sameera will be attending Norfolk State University this fall, majoring in Drama and Theatre.
- Victoria Colon Lopez, a rising junior at Agnes Scott College with a double major in Psychology and Public Health. Victoria hopes to positively impact public health policy to establish equitable regulations that address the needs of marginalized communities.
These are just the latest initiatives from The Sister Accord, LLC, an organization dedicated to empowering girls and women with the mission of teaching one billion girls and women how to love themselves and each other. Now in its eighth year, The Sister Accord has never been stronger or its work more necessary. Since late 2019, between The Sister Accord and The Sister Accord Foundation (a 501c3 organization), over $190,000 in grants, scholarships, and financial support has been given to individuals to pay rent, mortgage, and other bills. The Sister Accord Foundation also celebrated its move to become an official global organization with the launch of a Sister Accord chapter in Harare, Zimbabwe in 2021. The Sister A.C.C.O.R.D.

Rea says Lowes crew way of working "hard to understand"
Jonathan Rea has questioned why there is such a big difference in the set-up philosophies within the Kawasaki World Superbike garage, amid teammate Alex Lowes' struggles to match the established frontrunners.
Rea and Lowes are now in their third season as teammates at Kawasaki, and while the latter's spell with the Japanese manufacturer started well with a win at Phillip Island in 2020, since then he hasn't been a match for Rea.
While Rea won his sixth WSBK title in 2020 and finished a close runner-up to Toprak Razgatlioglu last year, Lowes slipped from an early lead to sixth in 2020 and concluded an injury-ridden '21 campaign eighth.
So far in 2022, Rea has won five races to sit second in the points behind Ducati's Alvaro Bautista, Lowes lies seventh in the standings with a best finish of fourth.
Discussing Lowes' failure to get on terms with the WSBK 'big three' of himself, Razgatlioglu and Bautista, Rea pointed out that the ZX-10RR his teammate rides is set-up with a different philosophy to his own.
He suggested that Lowes' results would improve if the #22 bike's crew worked in a similar technical direction to his own.
"I speak with Alex quite a bit, but I don’t really understand what they are doing on his side of the garage," Rea told Motorsport.com's German edition.
"They work quite differently from us in terms of fundamentals on the bike... it’s hard to understand why. I see life is difficult for him there.
"It would be nice if Alex could ride my bike, just sit on my bike with his [riding] position and see how he feels, because the bikes are quite different.
"He rides in a different way, we develop the bike in different ways with our crew chiefs and electronics engineers… it’s hard to say what’s the right way or wrong way, but I would feel much better if we could work together more technically."
When it was put to him that Leon Haslam likewise struggled during his single season as Rea's teammate in 2019, the Ulsterman made an implied swipe at Lowes' crew chief Marcel Duinker, who likewise worked with Haslam and, previous to that, 2013 world champion Tom Sykes.
"Riders change, but the thing that hasn’t changed are the crew chiefs," Rea said. "Ideally we should all work much better together."
While insistent that the start to his season isn't as bad as it appears on paper after an encouraging ride to fourth in the final race at Estoril, Lowes admitted that adopting a more similar approach to Rea would pay dividends.
“There would be some benefit I guess if the crews were to work together a bit better to improve the package, because the other guys are improving a lot,” said Lowes when asked about the differences between his bike and Rea's.
“We need each other’s help to push each other forward. But the setting of the bike is quite different, and it’s not my request. The team decided to go in a different way."
Pressed further on whether this state of affairs was on Duinker’s insistence, Lowes replied: “The team has a different idea to the other side of the garage. I don’t know what else to say!”

FLOWOOD, Miss., June 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Zavation Medical Products ("Zavation" or the "Company"), an innovative designer and manufacturer of high-quality spinal implants, instruments, MIS procedural kits, and biologics headquartered in Flowood, MS, announced the FDA 510K Clearance of eZspand™ Lateral, an expandable lumbar interbody fusion device.
The eZspand™ Lateral, part of the Zavation eZspand™ Interbody System, features unmatched expandable precision paired with continual expansion to provide an optimized fit for each patient. This optimized fit allows for enhancement of structural stability and improved sagittal balance. eZspand™ Lateral does not require secondary locking, minimizing procedural steps. The cage has up to 15° lordosis and the ability to back fill with bone graft. Each implant expands to 6mm from the insertion height to create a large graft window that facilitates fusion. The benefits of continuous height adjustment, up to 6mm expansion paired with no secondary locking step, separate eZspand™ Lateral from its competitors.
Zavation's market share and active surgeon base continues to rapidly grow given the Company's ability to adapt to surgeon/patient needs, consistently upgrade its instruments, and engineer devices with incomparable simplicity and precision. Zavation's sustained investment in research and development will further enhance its expandable technologies and accelerate market share and active surgeon base gains.
"Our product development team's dedication to creatively blending simplicity and precision in a robust product design has produced an expandable product that we believe is the new gold standard in facilitating patient fusion in a seamless and simplified procedure," said Jeffrey Johnson, Chief Executive Officer. "With restoration of alignment being of critical importance, the eZspand™ Lateral was developed to help surgeons address stability and sagittal alignment, while maximizing lordotic correction. This product is an example of Zavation's commitment to offering innovative and differentiated products in conjunction with market leading customer service to best serve our surgeons and distributor network."
The Zavation eZspand™ Interbody System implants are indicated for spinal fusion procedures to be used with autogenous bone graft in skeletally mature patients. The Zavation eZspand™ Interbody System implants are intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1, for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The device is intended to be used in patients who have had six months of non-operative treatment.
The Zavation eZspand™ Interbody System implants are intended to be used with supplemental internal fixation appropriate for the implanted level, including the Zavation Spinal System.
Based in Flowood, MS, Zavation designs, engineers, and manufactures a portfolio of spinal hardware and biologics covering key areas including cervical, thoracolumbar, interbody fusion, interventional spine, and minimally invasive surgery. Founded in 2012, Zavation has experienced exceptional growth and created a national network of numerous distributors across the United States. The Company has commercialized over 25 product families since inception. Zavation operates a newly constructed 75,000 square foot vertically integrated facility in Flowood, MS.

Tori Spelling’s Daughter Stella McDermott Is Her Mini-Me: See Photos of What She Looks Like Today
Beverly Hills 90210 alum Tori Spelling and husband Dean McDermott’s daughter Stella was once a twin to her dad, but a recent Instagram post shows she is beginning to take after her mom.
“My girl graduated from middle school today,” the mom of five captioned her post on June 8. “Bittersweet. So proud of how hard she fought to graduate amongst bullying, COVID, adversity, migraines, severe anxiety, and sadly teachers and counselors who didn’t believe she could do it all in time to graduate…she proved them all wrong!”
In the photo, Stella is dressed in graduation garb including a blue gown and white orchid lei and is holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers. She looks just like her mom with her light blonde locks and big brown eyes.
“So beyond proud but I still look up at that stage and see my tiny little buggy running around,” her mom continued in her caption. “You have such drive and such a kind spirit! You can do absolutely anything you want to do! love you @stella_mcdermott08 with all my heart and soul bff.”
Who Does Stella McDermott Look Like?
While Stella previously looked more like her father, Tori’s Instagram post shows that Stella has morphed into a copy of her mom.
It’s clear the two share a strong bond, as Tori has gushed in the past about her love for her daughter. While celebrating Stella’s 12th birthday in June 2020, the A Friend to Die For actress shared a social media tribute discussing the impact her sweet daughter has made on her life.
“I blinked and she grew up. She is perhaps the wisest human I know. She feels, she creates, she listens and she understands. Sometimes, I have to remind myself that I’m her mom and not [her] best friend. But, ultimately she IS,” the House of Yes star wrote on her Instagram at the time. “We hug, kiss and hold hands daily, and I look forward to doing that forever with her. She taught me how to be a mom to a daughter. She, in many ways, is my teacher. She is my fashion muse, or am I hers? Either way, it’s a beautiful, creative and special relationship.”
Where Was Stella McDermott Born?
Stella was born in Los Angeles on June 9, 2008.
Who Are Stella McDermott’s Siblings?
Stella is one of Tori and Dean’s five children. The pair welcomed their oldest, Liam, one year after they wed in 2006. Stella came along in 2008 followed by Hattie in 2011 and Finn in 2012. The actress gave birth to her fifth child, Beau, in 2017. Dean also has an adult son named Jack McDermott with ex-wife Mary Jo Eustace, to whom he was married from 1996 to 2006.
What Is Stella McDermott’s Style?
Tori has shared many photos of Stella through the years, offering glimpses into her daughter’s personal style. Stella is often pictured wearing sweaters, flannels, chunky boots and skirts. Having just graduated middle school, Stella will surely continue to grow in the years to come. | https://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/what-tori-spellings-daughter-stella-mcdermott-look-like-today/ | 2022-06-10T14:46:30Z | https://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/what-tori-spellings-daughter-stella-mcdermott-look-like-today/ | true | 1 |

Clay Watkins loves LaCroix brand sparkling water — especially the watermelon flavor.
So the suburban Chicago school teacher was excited when he spotted it on sale at his local grocery store: two packages for $8.
"I went to grab the package and I was like, 'Wait a second,'" Watkins recalls.
He was surprised to find a package that once held 12 cans of sparkling water had been downsized to 8 — with no change in price — a common practice known as "shrinkflation."
"I'm not a mathematician," he says. "I teach science. But I think that's a 33% price increase."
Frustrated, Watkins put the LaCroix water back and fired off a tweet. Later, he bought store-brand sparkling water at Trader Joe's for 79 cents a liter.
Hey @lacroixwater what gives? Three weeks ago a 12 pack went for $4.99… did you think I wouldn’t notice? #repackage #groceryprices pic.twitter.com/Y2N2Lnxd46

Many people are facing much more painful decisions as inflation hovers near a 40-year high.
The Labor Department said Friday that consumer prices in May were 8.6% higher than a year ago — the largest increase since December of 1981. Prices rose 1% between April and May, led by jumps in the price of gasoline, groceries and rent.
Shoppers who swallowed price increases for much of the pandemic without batting an eye are starting to blink now that gasoline prices have topped $5 a gallon in much of the country and grocery prices continue to climb at a rapid rate.
Cutting back — except for a beloved pet
"The Ukraine war — February, March — was the turning point," says KK Davey, who tracks shoppers' behavior at the market research firm IRI.
Davey says since that Russia's invasion of Ukraine pushed gasoline prices through the roof even middle-income consumers have begun pushing back against price hikes. They're increasingly turning to discount stores and opting for cheaper generic products.
Joanne Lee buys regular eggs now, not the more-expensive, free-range kind she prefers. She's traded down on her salad toppings as well.
"There's a certain crouton that I like. But that is like $1.50 more than the generic Kroger brand, so I've switched over," Lee says. "They're not bad. But they're not the quality that I usually like."
Lee, who lives in West Lafayette, Ind., does not cut corners, though, when it comes to her dog, Potato. The golden doodle still gets name brand pet food.
"She'd still spoiled," Lee says with a laugh. "She eats the most expensive food out of all of us."
Still, many are willing to splurge for meals and travel
Davey says it's not unusual for shoppers to scrimp on some items while splurging on others. They might try to stretch a tube of toothpaste or a bottle of ketchup longer, but when products like toilet paper or baby formula are in short supply, price is no object.
"If you've got to have it, you've got to have it," Davey says.
While consumers may be watching their pennies at the gas station and grocery store, they're still opening their wallets for pricey restaurant meals, airline tickets and hotel rooms. Overall consumer spending has grown faster than inflation every month this year.
When it comes to travel and entertainment, many people are making up for lost time.
"For this summer, there is a mindset of, 'We're going on vacation and we're not putting it off,'" says economist Tim Quinlan of Wells Fargo. "While consumers aren't happy about prices, they're sort of willing to pay it to have those experiences for a while."
The spending can't last forever, though
But with inflation outpacing income, many people are having to dip into savings to finance that spending, or put it on the credit card. The personal savings rate dipped to a 14-year low in April, while revolving credit grew at an annual rate of nearly 20%.
Quinlan says that can keep spending afloat for a few months, but not indefinitely.
"Come Labor Day, when all these credit card bills come due, everybody will be back on a budget again. And that's why we expect growth to slow as we head into the end of the year."
Ultimately, Quinlan says, it will likely take a slowdown in consumer spending to bring prices back under control.
The Federal Reserve is working to accelerate that by raising interest rates and making it more expensive for people to borrow money.
The Fed's actions may help bring down inflation, but some worry they could trigger a recession.
And Watkins, the teacher who switched to cheaper sparkling water when LaCroix got too expensive, knows not everyone can adjust his spending so easily.
Watkins volunteers at a Chicago-area food pantry where he's seen a huge spike in traffic over the last six months.
"The people who are really being hurt by gas prices and food prices are the people who don't have a lot of margin," he says. "They don't know where to cut."
So long as prices keep climbing, more people may have to make difficult choices about what they can live without.

(AP) – There were quite a few big names missing from the ice for Colorado’s practice on Thursday: Captain Gabriel Landeskog, defensemen Devon Toews and Josh Manson, forward Andre Burakovsky.
No need for concern, though. Just a maintenance day for that particular group of Avalanche players as they rest up — and wait — to face either the New York Rangers or two-time defending champion Tampa Bay in the Stanley Cup Final.
Maybe of some concern were two more missing forwards: Nazem Kadri (thumb) and Andrew Cogliano (hand), who both recently underwent surgery. But they haven’t been ruled out from playing in the final, whenever that may be. This time off could be just the window they need to return to health.
“It’s good to get a little bit of rest,” forward J.T. Compher said of a break that could extend as long as nearly two weeks. “It’s just keeping your mind in it. You have a little time to relax, but it’s just mentally making sure you’re refreshed and focused on the goal ahead.”
The Avalanche started their preliminary preparations Thursday even as they remain in a holding pattern. They kept things condensed in front of fans — and kids attending a summer camp — during practice at their training facility, which houses laser tag, a climbing wall and arcade games on the other side of the rink.
“When we come to work, we’re going to work. When we give them rest, we’ll give them rest,” coach Jared Bednar explained. “If they need anything extra, then it’s up to them to go and get what they need on their own.”
This was a practice session dedicated to getting back up to speed on the heels of a travel day back from Edmonton — finishing a sweep of Connor McDavid and the Oilers — and an off day. They talked some strategy before taking shots on goaltenders Pavel Francouz and Darcy Kuemper. Bednar was mum on which one would be in net for Game 1.
Kuemper was the starter before exiting the first game against Edmonton with an upper-body injury. Francouz was in net the rest of the series as the Avalanche earned a spot in the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2001.
“It’s a tough decision,” Bednar said. “There will be conversations about it.”
Kuemper wouldn’t divulge the precise nature of his injury. He did say he was seeing the puck “really good.” In the Nashville series, Kuemper was poked through his mask with a stick that caught him near his eye. He was back for the St. Louis series, which the Avalanche won in six games.
He applauded Francouz’s performance.
“Super happy for him,” Kuemper said. “It was great for the team.”
A blow to the team would be the potential loss of Kadri and Cogliano. Kadri left Game 3 after taking a cross-check from Evander Kane, who drew a one-game suspension for the hit. Cogliano was hurt after blocking a shot with his right hand in Game 4. Cogliano went through the post-series handshake line extending his left hand.
Kadri has six goals and eight assist in these playoffs, while Cogliano plays a primary role on the penalty-kill unit.
“We’ll see how it goes when they get playing and whatnot,” Bednar said. “We’re hopeful they could be an option for us.”
One thing’s for sure: The Avalanche will be well-rested. They’re used to long layoffs, though, going a week between games after sweeping Nashville.
Bednar wasn’t concerned with the lengthy break even though Tampa Bay’s Jon Cooper mentioned rust in losing two straight to the Rangers to start the Eastern Conference Final. The Lightning have rallied at home.
“I’m worried about what we do with our (breaks), what we’ve deemed to be successful and that’s it,” Bednar said. “I don’t know how they handled it or what they did — nor do I care.”
Nor was Bednar about to take a moment to reflect on what they’ve accomplished so far.
“We still have work to do. That’s my approach,” Bednar said. “We’ll breathe when it’s over.”

Rock legends to headline Rock, Ribs & Ridges Festival
Enjoy classic and country rock stars like Don Felder and Molly Hatchet along with a side of ribs.
Three Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees — Dave Mason, legendary singer-songwriter Don Felder, and Artimus Pyle — will be joined by country rock pioneer Jim Messina at the 12th annual Rock, Ribs & Ridges festival at the Sussex County Fairgrounds (37 Plains Road, Augusta) on June 24, 25, and 26.
Southern rock stalwarts Molly Hatchet and Duane Betts will also headline this year’s annual summer bash, which features 11 artists over the three-day weekend.
“We’re proud to continue to attract the biggest stars to our stage and this year feature Jim Messina, a legendary artist who created country rock, and our largest lineup of Rock & Roll Hall of Famers ever,” said Festival Executive Producer Howard Freeman, of Promo1. “It’s going to be a great weekend and the place to be this summer.”
Messina’s legacy spans five decades, three super groups, a solo career and scores of producing and engineering credits (“House At Pooh Corner,” “Your Mama Don’t Dance,” “Kind Woman,” “You Better Think Twice”).
Following his time with Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Buffalo Springfield, Messina and fellow bandmate Richie Furay formed Poco and defined a new musical genre, country rock.
He then went to work with a then unknown Kenny Loggins; their album Kenny Loggins with Jim Messina “Sittin’ In” launched an accidental duo that over the next seven years would enjoy eight hit albums, have scores of hit songs and sell over 16 million albums with Loggins & Messina becoming one of the most successful duos of the 1970s.
Dave Mason (“Feelin’ Alright,” “We Just Disagree”) was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 as a founding member of Traffic. During his lengthy solo career, he has written over 100 songs, has three gold albums, and one platinum album, and has collaborated with a list of the who’s who in the music industry.
Don Felder is a legendary singer-songwriter, and a 1998 inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with the Eagles. Felder spent 27 years with the Eagles, who own the distinction of recording the top-selling album of all time — their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) — which has sold over 38 million copies (and counting). He co-wrote some of the band’s biggest hits, including “Hotel California” and “Victim of Love.”
Continuing to give the people what they want, fan favorite Artimus Pyle of Lynyrd Skynyrd fame returns for an encore performance (“Sweet Home Alabama,” “Freebird,” “What’s Your Name,” “Gimme Three Steps”).
Molly Hatchet and Duane Betts also headline, with Revisiting Creedence, Jessica Lynn, 49 Winchester, The Matt Coffy Band, and Sugar Mountain rounding out the lineup.
Attendees can also enjoy barbecue served up from top competitive barbecue rib chefs from around the country, craft beers and more, as they soak up legendary music and the great outdoors.
Cowboys BBQ & Rib Co. of Ft. Worth, Texas, is the two-time defending “Best Ribs” champion. Blazin Bronco BBQ of Port St. Lucie, Fl., Fossil Farms Market and Kitchen of Boonton, NJ, and Joe Smoke Bar-B-Que of Hightstown, NJ, round at the field of award-winning pitmasters who will be firing up the smokers and also competing for the coveted titles of “Best Ribs,” “Best Sauce” and “People’s Choice.”
VIP shaded seating, Miller Mezzanine reserved group table seating, camping and on-site RV stay options add to the festival’s unique atmosphere.
Ticket prices range from $55 to $155, depending on whether or not you want a VIP experience. For tickets and additional information, including the full concert lineup, visit rockribsandridges.com.

STOCKHOLM, June 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- XNK Therapeutics AB ("XNK") today announced that an abstract on the long-term follow-up of the Phase I/II clinical trial ACP-001 with its leading candidate drug was presented at European Hematology Association's hybrid conference EHA2022, which is held in Vienna, Austria, on June 9th-12th.
The abstract, titled "Autologous NK Cells as Consolidation After Front-Line Stem Cell Transplantation in Multiple Myeloma: A Long-Term Follow-Up", was presented at a poster session by Dr Johan Aschan on Friday, June 10th, 16:30 - 17:45 CEST. Co-authors include Johan Lund, Hareth Nahi, Stephan Meinke, Per-Henrik Holmqvist, Hans-Gustaf Ljunggren, Johan Aschan and Evren Alici.
Initial data from XNK's first in human trial in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) showed good safety with no serious adverse events (SAE), and the only significant treatment related adverse event (grade 2) being reactivation of varicella-zoster virus. With a substantial follow-up period, clinical long-term data including safety, second line treatment including MM efficacy and PFS2 are now presented.
"The data show that autologous NK-cell treatment in first line did not negatively impact the possibility to administer, or the outcome of, later anti-myeloma treatments. Additional data on the efficacy of the NK cell product are urgently needed to fully evaluate the risk-benefit, and a phase II trial is currently ongoing," said the lead author Dr Johan Lund.
"We are happy to present results from this long-term follow-up which confirm the safety and feasibility of autologous NK cell therapy as consolidation after front line ASCT in MM. This will be one additional building block in our clinical development of our autologous NK-cell treatment," said XNK's CMO Johan Aschan.

About ACP-001
First-in-human Phase I/II clinical trial was conducted at the Hematology Center, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden, in a setting of consolidation treatment following high dose autologous stem cell transplantation in patients newly diagnosed with Multiple myeloma. The clinical study was an open, single-arm, triple escalating dose/patient study with the primary objective of studying the safety and tolerability of the product. The product demonstrated a high degree of safety, and no severe adverse events (SAE) were reported. The secondary objectives included deepening in the response, i.e., further decrease in serum Ig level (M-protein) in patients who did not achieve complete remission and deepening of minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients achieving complete remission. Four out of six patients had measurable disease following autologous SCT. Out of these four patients, all showed objective measurable responses to NK cell infusion in terms of reduction in M-component and/or MRD. The explorative analysis allowed extensive characterization of infused NK cells in patients. The treatment strategy opens for the usage of autologous NK cells in clinical settings.

American automaker Buick will produce only electric vehicles in years to come, starting in 2024.
The company announced June 1 that the new Electra series will be its first foray into electric cars. Named after a classic 20th-century Buick, the Electra name will cover more than one model of the new electric Buicks. Meanwhile, the Buick badge and brand identity have been refreshed as well, with a new emblem rolling out on vehicles next year.
“The Buick brand is committed to an all-electric future by the end of this decade,” said Duncan Aldred, global vice president of Buick and GMC, in a press release. “Buick’s new logo, use of the Electra naming series and a new design look for our future products will transform the brand.”
The line of all-electric Buicks is part of General Motors’ ambitious “Everybody In” initiative. The auto giant is planning to make all of its “light-duty” vehicles emission-free by 2035.
According to Car and Driver, the new Electras incorporate elements from other GM vehicles, and are expected to sell starting at around $50,000. They’ll be built on the foundation of Cadillac’s new Lyriq electric car, and the sleek design is based on a Buick concept car revealed in early June.
The “Wildcat” concept won’t enter production, but Buick executives say its super-sporty design is a clue to the brand’s future look.
“Buick has always been forward-looking and this expression is a glimpse of where we’re going, and the optimism we have for the limitless possibilities of an electric future,” said Sharon Gauci, executive director of global Buick and GMC design, in a press release showcasing the Wildcat.
It’s a far cry from your grandpa’s big, boaty Buick from back in the day.
The exact details of the Electra’s new look are under wraps for now, but Buick expects to debut an Electra SUV in 2023, according to Car and Driver. It’ll hit North American markets in 2025. So, if you’re thinking of making the switch to electric, keep your eyes peeled!

The cold Bard truth: Scientist brands Shakespeare's death scenes 'unrealistic' as poison killed Cleopatra 'too quickly' and Juliet would have had 'some side effects' after 42 hours without breathing
- A British chemist has deemed Shakespeare's iconic death scenes as 'unrealistic'
- She claims heroine Cleopatra died too quickly after being bitten by a snake
- Juliet would have 'some side effects' had she spent 42 hours without breathing
- However, she admits that poison from a puffer fish could achieve this effect
He killed more than 70 of his characters on stage, including stabbings, snakebites and beheadings, but even Shakespeare got it wrong sometimes.
Scientific analysis of the Complete Works of Shakespeare has revealed that Cleopatra died unrealistically quickly after choosing death by snake.
The murder of Hamlet's father made little sense, as pouring poison in someone's ear accesses few blood vessels to get it into their system.
And Juliet could not have taken anything which would make her appear dead for a full 42 hours, although a toxin from a puffer fish could have had a similar effect.
Dr Kathryn Harkup, the scientist who closely examined the deaths of Shakespeare, told Cheltenham Science Festival: 'He's good at observation, but without necessarily understanding the science of what's going on.'
Dr Harkup described scientific issues with a number of deaths in Shakespeare's plays
Juliet fakes her own death with a potion which leads her apparently dead for 'two and forty hours'. A chemical called tetrodoxin, found in pufferfish, could make someone appear as if they have stopped breathing and slow their pulse (stock image)
During Shakespeare's time, when the average life expectancy in England was the age of 35, hangings were held in public for most crimes, and traitors' decapitated heads were displayed on spikes south of the River Thames, people were very interested in death, according to Dr Harkup.
It meant Shakespeare's plays had to be gory and grisly to keep audiences entertained, with two men killed, baked in a pie and fed to their mother in Titus Andronicus, the poet Cinna in Julius Caesar murdered by a baying mob, and the character Antigonus killed offstage by a bear in The Winter's Tale.
Dr Harkup described scientific issues with a number of deaths in the plays however, based on her book Death By Shakespeare.
These include the death of Hamlet's father, killed by his brother Claudius, who poured poison into his ear.
The name of the poison, 'hebenon' or 'hebona', is not real, and it would not work well, according to Dr Harkup, because ear wax and cartilage would block the substance from getting into the body.
Cleopatra speaks only a few lines after clasping a snake to her breast, to bite her, and then another to her arm, and then apparently dies relatively peacefully. That is unrealistic, according to Dr Harkup, who said 'this is not a gentle death - this is painful.'
In the tragedy Antony and Cleopatra, Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt, has lost the love of her life and is about to lose her empire so arranges to have a poisonous snake, or 'asp' delivered to her in a basket of figs.
Dr Harkup points out that a lethal Egyptian cobra would need to be up to 1.5 metres, or almost five feet, in length, making it very hard to smuggle in a basket of figs.
Cleopatra speaks only a few lines after clasping a snake to her breast, to bite her, and then another to her arm, and then apparently dies relatively peacefully.
That is unrealistic, according to Dr Harkup, who said of the snake venom: 'It will hurt like hell en route. This is not a gentle death - this is painful.'
Snake venom will indeed cause death by respiratory collapse, but Dr Harkup said: 'It takes time to suffocate - she's got a bit of writhing around on her imperial bed to get through.
'She's got more than a few lines, in reality.'
Cleopatra's choice of where the first snake would bite her, on the breast, is one of the most painful parts of the body, according to a study on bee stings.
The murder of Hamlet's father made little sense, according to a scientific expert, as pouring poison in someone's ear accesses few blood vessels to get it into their system (stock image)
In Romeo and Juliet, the female lead fakes her own death, with a potion which leads her apparently dead for 'two and forty hours' - almost two days -stopping her pulse and breathing.
A chemical called tetrodoxin, found in pufferfish, could make someone appear as if they have stopped breathing and dramatically slow their pulse.
Shakespeare may have heard of it through traders from Japan, who ate fugu - the pufferfish - and risked paralysis and death if it was not prepared properly to remove the poisonous parts.
But, Dr Harkup, said, the play suggests there would be no medical issues from taking such a toxin, to which she said: 'If you don't breathe for 42 hours, I suggest that there might be some side effects.'
A bear killing someone, as in The Winter's Tale, would be pretty unlikely in the general way of things, according to the scientist.
But this is something Shakespeare likely got right, as bears brought to London for entertainment were chained up, made to dance, or involved in bear-baiting, where dogs attacked a captive bear.
These bears would have 'a few scores to settle', according to Dr Harkup, who said: 'The idea of a bear getting loose and attacking someone and eating them was probably a very realistic and well-known event.
'It certainly would have got talked about in Shakespeare's day.
'So what seems very odd today was probably the least odd bit about that play.'
Finally, deaths from a broken heart are also plausible, although Dr Harkup says this is Shakespeare 'stretching things a bit'.
Mamillius, the child in The Winter's Tale who apparently dies of a broken heart after learning his father has cruelly jailed his mother, may have had a genetic disorder affecting his heart, which a sudden shock made fatal.
Lady Capulet, who died of a broken heart after hearing of her son Romeo's banishment, may have suffered 'broken heart syndrome' which is caused by extreme stressful events and can rapidly weaken the heart muscle. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-10903947/Science-expert-brands-Shakespeares-death-scenes-unrealistic-poison-killed-Cleopatra-fast.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-06-10T14:59:16Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-10903947/Science-expert-brands-Shakespeares-death-scenes-unrealistic-poison-killed-Cleopatra-fast.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true | 3 |
Michigan officer charged in Lyoya shooting set for hearing
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan police officer who killed Patrick Lyoya, a Black man who was on the ground when he was shot in the back of the head following a traffic stop captured on a bystander’s phone, was expected to have an initial court hearing Friday on a charge of second-degree murder.
Kent County prosecutor Chris Becker announced his decision Thursday to file the charge against Grand Rapids Officer Christopher Schurr, who killed Lyoya minutes after a traffic stop on April 4. Video from a passenger in the car captured the final chilling moments.
Schurr fired the fatal shot while Lyoya was on the ground, demanding that the 26-year-old refugee from Congo “let go” of the officer’s Taser.
“The death was not justified or excused, for example, by self-defense,” the prosecutor said, reciting the elements of second-degree murder.
Schurr, who is white, told Lyoya that he stopped his car because the license plate didn’t match the vehicle. Roughly a minute later, Lyoya began to run after he was asked to produce a driver’s license.
Schurr caught him quickly, and the two struggled across a front lawn in the rain before the fatal shot.
Defense lawyers said the shooting was not “murder but an unfortunate tragedy” during a volatile situation.
“Mr. Lyoya gained full control of a police officer’s weapon while resisting arrest, placing Officer Schurr in fear of great bodily harm or death,” Matt Borgula and Mark Dodge said in a written statement.
Grand Rapids Police Chief Eric Winstrom said he would recommend Schurr be fired, though he is entitled to a hearing and the ultimate decision would be up to the city manager. Schurr has been on leave since the shooting.
Becker said he consulted experts from outside Michigan about the use of force in the case. He informed Lyoya’s parents about the charge before holding a news conference and also sent a letter in Swahili, their native language.
Across the state in Detroit, Peter Lyoya watched the announcement with his lawyer, Ven Johnson, and said he was pleased with the decision.
“We strongly believed there was no justice in America, until today,” Peter Lyoya said. “What I want is the final justice for my son.”
Schurr turned himself in and was being held at a jail outside Kent County.
His personnel file shows no complaints of excessive force but much praise for traffic stops and foot chases that led to arrests and the seizure of guns and drugs.
Black community activists had accused Becker, a Republican, of being too close to police and urged him to give the case to the Michigan attorney general, a Democrat, to avoid even the appearance of a conflict. But the prosecutor declined.
“Everybody thinks prosecutors are an arm or just a branch of police. And we’re not,” Becker told reporters. “We are our own entity. We have a duty to enforce the law. We work a lot with them but we don’t work for them.”
Grand Rapids, population about 200,000, is 160 miles (260 kilometers) west of Detroit.
The shooting turned into an immediate crisis for Winstrom, who was a commander in Chicago before taking charge in Grand Rapids early in March. Over Becker’s objections, he released video from four different sources on April 13.
“This is going to be a difficult time for the police department,” he said after the murder charge was announced. “We’ll get through it.”
Lyoya’s killing by an officer came after numerous others in recent years involving Black people, including George Floyd, whose killing in Minneapolis sparked a national reckoning on race;Daunte Wright, who was shot during a traffic stop in suburban Minneapolis; Andre Hill, who was killed in Columbus, Ohio; and Andrew Brown Jr., who was killed in North Carolina.

MILWAUKEE (AP)Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and Odubel Herrera homered as interim manager Rob Thomson and the streaking Philadelphia Phillies won their season-high seventh straight game, beating the sagging Milwaukee Brewers 8-3 on Thursday.
At 6-0, Thomson is off to the best start by a first-time major league manager since Boston’s Joe Morgan won his first 12 games in 1988, the Elias Sports Bureau said.
”We just got to keep going,” Harper said, ”doing the things we’re doing, playing the game the right way, not overlook anybody that we play and just take it one game at a time.”
The NL Central-leading Brewers lost their season-worst sixth in a row.
”We just can’t get anything going, unfortunately,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. ”You get kind of knocked down, and you got to grind through it and keep going.”
It was the second consecutive three-game sweep for the Phillies under Thomson. He took over last Friday after manager Joe Girardi was fired, and Philadelphia swept the Los Angeles Angels before heading to Milwaukee.
Didi Gregorius singled, tripled, doubled and drove in a run for Philadelphia.
Andrew McCutchen singled home a run in the ninth to pull Milwaukee within five runs. With two on and two outs, Jace Peterson then was initially ruled safe on an RBI single, but was called out after a replay reversal.
Reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes (3-4) and Phillies starter Zach Eflin were both out of the game by the end of the fifth.
”Being able to get Corbin out of there in the fifth inning at 100 or whatever pitches he threw, I thought we battled as best we could and got into their bullpen as best as we could,” Harper said. ”To be able to come here and sweep in their ballpark, that’s huge for us.”
Thomson agreed with Harper about the importance of chasing Burnes, who threw a season-high 113 pitches, 67 for strikes.
”The biggest thing was that we just laid out good at bats on Burnes and put his pitch count way up there and got him out of the game,” Thomson said. ”Then, they got to use the weaker part of the bullpen.”
Harper homered for the second straight day, connecting off Brad Boxberger for his 15th of the season, a solo drive in the seventh for a 4-2 lead.
Schwarber hit his 15th home run, a two-run drive off Trevor Kelley in the eighth. Herrera, who homered in a 10-0 romp Wednesday night, added a two-run drive in the ninth.
Hunter Renfroe and Willy Adames homered for Milwaukee.
Seranthony Dominguez (3-1) pitched one inning for the win.
”The bullpen did a great job all the way through,” Thomson said of the five relievers he used in the game.
Eflin walked three to snap his streak of 33 consecutive starts with two walks or fewer since Aug. 29, 2020. He allowed a run and four hits in four innings.
”All sides of the ball, everybody is playing well,” Eflin said. ”The boys did a great job of picking me up today.”
Burnes walked a career-high four and gave up three runs, one of them earned, and three hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out eight and left after throwing a season-high 113 pitches.
”I think both starting pitchers had the same same day, really,” Counsell said. ”I think the hitters did a pretty good job on both sides. I think there was a ton of close pitches that didn’t get called strikes and extended innings.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Phillies: RHP Zack Wheeler is scheduled to come off the paternity list and start Saturday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. … LHP Ryan Sherriff and LHP Kent Emanuel will begin rehab assignments with Clearwater (A) tonight.
Brewers: Adames started at short for the second straight game after being reinstated Friday from the 10-day injured list (high left ankle sprain). He went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts in his return. . C Omar Narvaez should come off the injured list (COVID-19) soon. ”He’s been cleared,” Counsell said. ”So, he will fly with us to Washington.” Narvaez was placed on the list June 2.
HARPER BY THE BOOK
Since 2021, the Phillies are 75-34 in games when Harper scores at least one run, including 20-9 in those games this year.
He now has a NL-best 35 extra-base hits.
UP NEXT
Phillies: RHP Kyle Gibson (3-2, 4.40 ERA) opens the three-game home series against RHP Zac Gallen (4-1, 2.40) and the Diamondbacks.
Brewers: LHP Aaron Ashby (1-4. 3.13 ERA) takes the mound in the opener of a three-game road series against Erick Fedde (3-4, 4.88) and the Washington Nationals.

The forecast has a new wrinkle to it on Friday as a few showers and storms could wrap around into Acadiana from the east, with a handful of strong thunderstorms possible.
There is a chance for some severe weather later in the late afternoon and evening, although better severe chances will exist to the east.
These thunderstorms will be capable of producing some small to medium sized hail and strong gusty winds, all accompanied with heavy downpours and frequent lightning.
In the meantime temperatures will push into the low 90s with a mostly sunny start which is going to help push the heat index into the triple digits.
Our best chance for some heat relief will be the scattered showers Friday afternoon, although they won't offer much relief for the lows which will remain in the upper 70s.
Friday is our best chance of rain, but spotty showers will still be possible on Saturday afternoon although a lot fewer storms expected.
The remainder of the weekend looks like it will remain very quiet with temperatures in the mid 90s and a little sunnier over the next several days.
This means it will be hot as we get into another dry work week next week.

A senior administration official said the mandate expires Sunday at 12:01 a.m. EDT, saying the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has determined that it’s no longer necessary. WATCH: COVID vaccines for young kids could be available within 2 weeks, Dr. Ashish Jha says The official, speaking Friday on the condition of anonymity to preview the formal announcement, said that the agency would reevaluate the need for the testing requirement every 90 days and that it could be reinstated if a troubling new variant emerges. The Biden administration put in place the testing requirement last year, as it moved away from restrictions that banned nonessential travel from several dozen countries — most of Europe, China, Brazil, South Africa, India and Iran — and instead focuses on classifying individuals by the risk they pose to others. It came in conjunction with a requirement that foreign, non-immigrant adults traveling to the United States need to be fully vaccinated, with only limited exceptions. The initial mandate allowed those who were fully vaccinated to show proof of a negative test within three days of travel, while unvaccinated people had to present a test taken within one day of travel. In November, as the highly transmissible omicron variant swept the world, the Biden administration toughened the requirement and required all travelers, regardless of vaccination status, to test within a day of travel to the U.S. Airline and tourism groups have been pressing the administration for months to eliminate the testing requirement, saying it is discouraging people from booking international trips. Many other countries have lifted their testing requirements for fully vaccinated and boosted travelers in a bit to increase tourism. In February, the groups argued the testing requirement was obsolete because of the high number of omicron cases already in every state, higher vaccinations rates and new treatments for the virus. “I’m glad CDC suspended the burdensome coronavirus testing requirement for international travelers, and I’ll continue to do all I can to support the strong recovery of our hospitality industry,” Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., said in a statement. The lifting of the requirement comes six weeks after a federal judge ended the CDC’s mask requirement for mass transit, including trains, planes, buses and transit hubs, saying the agency exceeded its authority. The Biden administration is appealing that ruling, saying it aims to protect the CDC’s ability to respond to future health emergencies. The official said the CDC will continue to recommend COVID-19 testing prior to air travel of any kind as a safety precaution. By — Zeke Miller, Associated Press Zeke Miller, Associated Press

ZURICH (AP) — Ecuador kept its place at the World Cup on Friday when a FIFA legal ruling rejected a complaint by Chile about an alleged ineligible player.
FIFA said its disciplinary committee closed the proceedings in the claim that Ecuador defender Byron Castillo, who played in eight qualifying games, is actually Colombian.
Chile’s soccer federation claimed to have documents proving Castillo was ineligible.
Ecuador risked forfeiting all eight games as 3-0 losses and dropping from fourth place in the South American qualifying group that ended in March. Chile would have risen to fourth in the standings.
Chile can challenge the ruling at FIFA’s appeals committee and potentially later at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The World Cup draw was already made April 1.
Ecuador was drawn in a group with Qatar, the Netherlands and Senegal.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A Republican-led county commission in southern New Mexico is seeking to change the way ballots are collected and counted in the run-up to November's mid-term election.
Otero County’s three-member commission includes Cowboys for Trump co-founder Couy Griffin, who ascribes to unsubstantiated theories that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election. Griffin was convicted of illegally entering restricted U.S. Capitol grounds — though not the building — amid the riots on Jan. 6, 2021.
The commission voted unanimously Thursday to recount ballots from this week's statewide primary election by hand, remove state-mandated ballot drop boxes that facilitate absentee voting and discontinue the use of vote tabulation machines in the general election.
The initiatives were proposed by Griffin and drew support from an advocacy group for “forensic" election reviews that has combed through Otero County election records and canvassed local addresses for registered voters in search of discrepancies in the 2020 election.
New Mexico uses paper ballots that can be double-checked later in all elections, and also relies on tabulation machines to rapidly tally votes while minimizing human error. Tabulation equipment is subject to precertification and election results are audited by random samplings to verify levels of accuracy.
Though Trump won nearly 62% of the vote in Otero County in 2020, county commissioners say they are not satisfied with results of the state’s risk-limiting audit of the vote count nor assurances by their Republican county clerk that elections this year will be accurate.
Otero County Attorney R.B. Nichols said the commission's vote to get rid of vote tabulating machines and drop boxes is not binding on the county clerk. He warned commissioners that there are no provisions for a full hand recount in New Mexico's election code, and that moving forward would likely involve going to court to vet supportive documents.
He said the expense of even a partial recount would fall on the county if no irregularities are found.
Alex Curtas, a spokesperson for the secretary of state's office, said the commission appears to be reaching beyond its authority, in conflict with the state election code and other statutes.
County Commissioner Vickie Marquardt said she is not satisfied that future elections will be secure.
“Everybody keeps talking about the 2020 election and overturning the election,” said Marquardt. “I am about the 2022 election and the 2024 election and the 2026. If we don’t find out what’s going on we’ll never know.”
The county commission abandoned a professional contract for a review of the 2020 election amid a U.S. House committee investigation into potential voter intimidation by door-to-door canvassers with intrusive questions about voting. But the review has persisted without contract under the work of David Clements and his wife Erin Clements with the support of the commission.
David Clements, a former public prosecutor and conservative public speaker, pressured the commission Thursday to demand access to the vote tabulators and computer coding for the machines to check whether there is a way to connect the machines to the internet and for other vulnerabilities.
“We don’t dispute that under the election code the secretary of state can select voting machines,” said David Clements, who bills himself as a traveling salesman for forensic election audits. “The question is what effect does it have on this commission to use something they know is not trustworthy. ... At that point you all become culpable.”
State election regulators say it is wrong and misleading to suggest that vote tabulators are connected to the internet or other computer networks.
“It has become a popular point of disinformation to suggest that New Mexico’s vote tabulators are compromised because they are connected to the internet,” the agency said on its “rumor versus reality” website that aims to deter disinformation about elections. “Our air-gapped counting systems ensure that vote tabulators are never connected to the internet.”
Griffin is not running reelection or other office as his term expires this year. | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/New-Mexico-county-wants-to-halt-use-of-vote-count-17233069.php | 2022-06-10T15:25:59Z | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/New-Mexico-county-wants-to-halt-use-of-vote-count-17233069.php | true | 11 |
Positive clinical results of ACP-001 presented at EHA2022
STOCKHOLM, June 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- XNK Therapeutics AB ("XNK") today announced that an abstract on the long-term follow-up of the Phase I/II clinical trial ACP-001 with its leading candidate drug was presented at European Hematology Association's hybrid conference EHA2022, which is held in Vienna, Austria, on June 9th-12th.
The abstract, titled "Autologous NK Cells as Consolidation After Front-Line Stem Cell Transplantation in Multiple Myeloma: A Long-Term Follow-Up", was presented at a poster session by Dr Johan Aschan on Friday, June 10th, 16:30 - 17:45 CEST. Co-authors include Johan Lund, Hareth Nahi, Stephan Meinke, Per-Henrik Holmqvist, Hans-Gustaf Ljunggren, Johan Aschan and Evren Alici.
Initial data from XNK's first in human trial in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) showed good safety with no serious adverse events (SAE), and the only significant treatment related adverse event (grade 2) being reactivation of varicella-zoster virus. With a substantial follow-up period, clinical long-term data including safety, second line treatment including MM efficacy and PFS2 are now presented.
"The data show that autologous NK-cell treatment in first line did not negatively impact the possibility to administer, or the outcome of, later anti-myeloma treatments. Additional data on the efficacy of the NK cell product are urgently needed to fully evaluate the risk-benefit, and a phase II trial is currently ongoing," said the lead author Dr Johan Lund.
"We are happy to present results from this long-term follow-up which confirm the safety and feasibility of autologous NK cell therapy as consolidation after front line ASCT in MM. This will be one additional building block in our clinical development of our autologous NK-cell treatment," said XNK's CMO Johan Aschan.

About ACP-001
First-in-human Phase I/II clinical trial was conducted at the Hematology Center, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden, in a setting of consolidation treatment following high dose autologous stem cell transplantation in patients newly diagnosed with Multiple myeloma. The clinical study was an open, single-arm, triple escalating dose/patient study with the primary objective of studying the safety and tolerability of the product. The product demonstrated a high degree of safety, and no severe adverse events (SAE) were reported. The secondary objectives included deepening in the response, i.e., further decrease in serum Ig level (M-protein) in patients who did not achieve complete remission and deepening of minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients achieving complete remission. Four out of six patients had measurable disease following autologous SCT. Out of these four patients, all showed objective measurable responses to NK cell infusion in terms of reduction in M-component and/or MRD. The explorative analysis allowed extensive characterization of infused NK cells in patients. The treatment strategy opens for the usage of autologous NK cells in clinical settings.

‘Israel has failed to prove its history in al-Quds despite extensive excavations for decades’
Press TV – June 9, 2022
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh says the Israeli regime has dismally failed to prove it is steeped in the history of al-Quds despite the regime’s extensive excavations of sacred sites of the occupied holy city for decades.
“Fifty-five years of excavations and tunnel digging did not prove that there is a temple in the city,” Shtayyeh said as he addressed a conference dubbed “Property Documentation and the Historical Status of the Holy al-Aqsa Mosque” in the central West Bank city of al-Bireh on Wednesday.
He added that events like such a conference will reinforce the Palestinian narrative of al-Quds history, and will thwart the Tel Aviv regime’s systematic distortion of facts and its attempts to disguise the Arab, Muslim and Christian identities of the city.
Shtayyeh called on Arab rulers not to contribute to Israel’s Judaization plans in al-Quds, stressing that helping Palestinian residents of the holy city does not go hand in hand with implementing joint projects with the occupying regime.
He demanded that Arab statesmen prop up the Palestinian resistance front in any possible way.
In recent months, the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement has warned that any Israeli attempt to seize al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied Old City of al-Quds will have “damaging consequences” for Israel.
Hardline Israeli legislators and extremist settlers regularly storm the al-Aqsa Mosque compound – a provocative move that infuriates Palestinians. Such mass settler break-ins almost always take place under the protection and support of Israeli military forces.
The al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which sits just above the Western Wall plaza, houses both the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Jewish visitation of al-Aqsa is permitted, but according to an agreement signed between Israel and the Jordanian government in the wake of Israel’s occupation of East al-Quds in 1967, non-Muslim worship at the compound is prohibited.
Back in May last year, frequent acts of violence against Palestinian worshipers at al-Aqsa Mosque led to an 11-day war with Palestinian resistance groups in the besieged Gaza Strip, during which the Israeli regime killed at least 260 Palestinians, including 66 children.

25 Facts About the Pharmaceutical Industry, Vaccines and “Anti-Vaxers”
By Julie Lévesque | Global Research | February 25, 2015
During the recent measles outbreak, the mainstream media blamed the epidemic solely on non vaccinated children, even though people who were vaccinated caught the disease and some vaccines have proven to be inefficient in the past. Without the slightest nuance, the mainstream media constantly portrays people reluctant to accept just any vaccine as “anti-vaxers”, irresponsible and misinformed people, relying on irrational fears and the one and only “fraudulent” Andrew Wakefield study linking autism to vaccines. (Watch Lina B. Moreco’s documentary Shots in the Dark, which features Dr. Wakefield and thankful parents of his young patients with autism.)
In reality, many so-called “anti-vaxers” are not ALL totally against vaccines. While some people may be totally against any kind of vaccination, many, including doctors and health specialists, question certain vaccines, ingredients in the vaccines and/or the vaccination schedule. This is not based on a survey but on my own perception resulting from the fair amount of articles on vaccines and the pharmaceutical industry that I’ve read over the last five years as a journalist. There are a large number of doctors and health specialists who have done truly independent research and who criticize vaccination based on scientific studies and solid evidence.
Why is the media so keen on portraying Big Pharma critics as crazy, uneducated, unscientific and irresponsible people?
Dr Marcia Angell worked for over two decades as editor of The New England Journal of Medicine. She was fired after criticizing the pharmaceutical industry, which had exerted an overriding and negative influence on the scientific literature. She said:
“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published.”
Numerous journalists say the same goes for the mainstream media.
We bring to the attention of our readers 25 facts which constitute only part of a larger body of independent scientific research and articles on vaccines and the pharmaceutical industry. Some mainstream articles have been included as well to show how the media overlooks stories it has published in the past because they don’t fit with their “anti-vaxer” portrait.
The objective of this list is to provide independent research and sources of information on vaccination and Big Pharma, which is what the mainstream media fails to do and instead blindly promotes the narrative and agenda of Big Pharma. … continue

Hundreds of protesters on Friday blocked roads and railway tracks in different parts of Howrah district in West Bengal over controversial remarks made by two now-suspended BJP leaders against Prophet Mohammad, police said. The agitators clashed with police personnel at Dhulagarh, Panchla, and Uluberia when they tried to lift the blockade on a national highway stretch, a police officer said.
The two saffron party leaders should be immediately arrested for their remarks that have hurt religious sentiments, one of the protesters said. Police had to baton-charge to disperse the crowd at Dhulagarh and Panchla, where the demonstrators pelted stones in retaliation, causing damage to nearby cars, the officer said.
They placed burning tyres on the road at Panchla and Dhulagarh, and set a police kiosk on fire in Uluberia, he said. The protesters also blocked railway tracks at Chengail, Fuleswar, and Santragachi stations in the Howrah-Kharagpur section from 1.22 pm, a South Eastern Railway official said.
Four trains have been cancelled, while two have been diverted due to the agitation, he said. Similar protests had taken place on Thursday, with agitators disrupting traffic at Ankurhati in Howrah district for around 11 hours, officials said. Meanwhile, Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar has appealed for peace and sought an urgent update on the law and order situation from the state's chief secretary.
"While appealing for peace, WB Guv Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar has sought urgent personal update from CS @chief_west by 10 pm today over worsening law & order situation in state since yesterday," he tweeted. "Expect CM Smt Mamata Banerjee to sternly warn law violators – they will not be spared," he said.
In a communication to the chief secretary, a copy of which was attached to his Twitter post, Dhankhar also said preventive and precautionary measures expected to be taken after Thursday's incident in Howrah were not reflected on the ground. Senior TMC leader and MLA Tapas Ray said that the chief minister has appealed to everyone to maintain peace. We have condemned those comments. We believe in equality and respect towards all religions, caste, and creed. The BJP is trying to destroy the secular fabric of the country," he alleged.
The BJP, however, criticised the ruling Trinamool Congress for its failure to maintain the law and order situation in the state. An important stretch of road was blocked for more than 11 hours and the police are mute spectators. Today also, there are reports of protests in various parts of the state, but the police have taken no action. The law and order situation has gone for a toss. If the BJP takes out a protest rally, our workers are beaten up and arrested, but in this case, no action has been taken," Senior BJP leader and chief whip in the state assembly Manoj Tigga said.
Earlier, Bengal Imams Association president Md Yahia said it had called for protests inside mosques across the state, demanding the arrest of the two BJP leaders, but asserted that the administration is free to take action against people who are blocking roads and inconveniencing the public.

A West Virginia man accused of fatally shooting three co-workers at a western Maryland machine shop remained under police guard at a hospital Friday, but authorities said a Maryland state trooper injured in a shootout with the suspect was treated and released.
The 25-year veteran of the Maryland State Police was shot when police said the fleeing suspect fired multiple rounds at troopers who tracked him down in western Maryland. At least one trooper returned fire, striking the suspect, state police said. The injured trooper and suspect were both taken to a hospital.
The trooper has been released, but the suspect remained under police guard while undergoing treatment, police said late Thursday. Charges are pending consultation with the Washington County State’s Attorney’s Office, police said. The troopers involved in the shooting will be placed on administrative duty while an investigation is conducted.
Washington County Sheriff Doug Mullendore said three men were found dead at Columbia Machine Inc. in Smithsburg on Thursday afternoon and a fourth was critically injured. The victims and suspect were all employees at the facility, he said. The sheriff identified those killed in the shooting as Mark Alan Frey, 50; Charles Edward Minnick Jr., 31; and Joshua Robert Wallace, 30.
Reached by telephone Friday, Nelson Michael, the father of Brandon Michael, 42, who was wounded in the machine shop shooting, said his son was still in the hospital, but he didn't know more about his condition.
"He’s surviving,” he said. “I’m glad he’s alive, but it’s going to work on his nerves. I know that.”
Nelson Michael said he didn’t know why the gunman shot the victims.
“I’m not saying any more. I’m just glad my son’s alive, and I feel so bad for the families of the other ones,” he said.
The shooting suspect was identified as a 23-year-old man who lives in West Virginia, but the sheriff's office said his name wouldn't be released until charging documents are filed. Authorities declined to release a motive.
Mullendore said the suspect used a semiautomatic handgun, which was recovered after the shootout.
Messages left seeking comment from the company weren’t immediately returned.
Smithsburg, a community of nearly 3,000 people, is just west of the Camp David presidential retreat and about 75 miles (120 kilometers) northwest of Baltimore. The manufacturing facility was in a sparsely populated area northeast of the town's center with a church, several businesses and farmland nearby.
Columbia Machine manufactures equipment for concrete products, and its Smithsburg location builds molds and works on parts and repairs for other plants. The company's CEO, Rick Goode, issued a statement calling the deaths of three employees and the wounding of a fourth tragic.
“Our highest priority during this tragic event is the safety and wellbeing of our employees and their families,” he said. | https://www.click2houston.com/news/national/2022/06/10/police-shooting-suspect-under-guard-hurt-trooper-released/ | 2022-06-10T15:33:23Z | https://www.click2houston.com/news/national/2022/06/10/police-shooting-suspect-under-guard-hurt-trooper-released/ | false | 45 |

S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 talking points:
- U.S. equities remained in the rectangle formation until about an hour ahead of yesterday’s U.S. close. Since then, it’s been a very bearish backdrop.
- This morning brought another installment in the inflation theme and after last month’s moderation down to 8.3%, this month saw yet another jump to fresh 40-year-highs.
- The analysis contained in article relies on price action and chart formations. To learn more about price action or chart patterns, check out our DailyFX Education section.
It was another troubling data point for inflation…
Last month brought a bit of hope as headline inflation printed at 8.3%. While that’s not a great number considering the Fed’s 2% target, it was a bit lower than the 8.5% that had printed in the prior month and, frankly, it was one of the few silver linings that bulls could grasp on to. Inflation had only continued to jump since August of last year and last month coming in a bit lower than the prior month gave hope that inflation may have topped.
This morning dashed those hopes as headline inflation printed at another fresh 40-year high of 8.6%. The chart below shows the growth in headline CPI since the beginning of last year, and way down at the bottom of that chart is a red line for where the Fed says that they want inflation to be at.
US CPI Since January 2021
Chart prepared by James Stanley
As you can imagine, that disappointment hasn’t been taken well by markets so far. The immediate response was a painful one as both Treasury yields jumped as stocks tanked, and the US Dollar caught another leg higher following yesterday’s breakout from an ascending triangle pattern.
Next week brings the FOMC and the bank is widely-expected to hike by 50 basis points. It’s so widely-expected that there’s little consternation of anything else, so the focus will likely be on the bank’s forecasts regarding how hawkish they’ll be at future meetings. It seems, at this point, that even July is fairly certain for another 50 basis points so the big question is what the Fed will be doing for September.
After this morning’s CPI release, odds for another 50 basis point hike in September firmed to reasonable levels so it looks like markets will be expecting another half-point increase at that rate decision.
US Dollar
I had looked at the USD in this week’s technical forecast, holding a bullish bias on the currency after last week started to show some evidence of bottoming. That support showed up at a key area that I’ve been following and the early-portion of this week presented an ascending triangle formation that was primed ahead of the ECB rate decision.
I had looked into the US Dollar yesterday morning, just after the ECB meeting but before that breakout started to hit. With EUR/USD seeing more pain after the combo of the ECB statement and this morning’s CPI release, there could be more in store here and that swing high at the psychological level of 105.00 is vulnerable in DXY as we move into next week.

EUR/USD
After the ECB took a dovish approach to yesterday’s rate decision the bottom fell out of the single currency. And as inflation remains brisk in the U.S. and the Fed is forced to respond, the divergence between the two economies has only continued to grow and this is on display in the EUR/USD pair.
As looked at yesterday, EUR/USD was already testing a key support zone. But, the market had set a fresh low and there was potential for a continued slide. That support has since been broken and prices are on the way down to the next marker on the chart, plotted at the psychological level of 1.0500.

Stocks Slammed
The more notable move at the moment however is showing in equities.
Stocks have had a rough 2022 so far. But, for a couple of weeks that took a back seat as prices bumped up from key areas of support in both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq. But, as I wrote earlier this week, those bounces looked vulnerable as the bearish leaning appeared to remain, even with that two-week spurt of hope.
Sellers started to hit equities late in yesterday’s session, with about an hour to go, and that slide has continued through the early-portion of Friday trade.
In the S&P 500, the box has been broken and prices are pushing down towards a major area of support. This area is around the 3800-3830 area and it’s the zone that caught the lows last month. It’s also around the area that marks -20% bear market territory.
This zone being traded through is a major deal and would denote fresh 15-month lows on the S&P 500. However, there may be a more bearish scenario that I’ll look at after the next chart.

Nasdaq 100
The Nasdaq 100 is more bearish than the S&P 500 and given the drivers, that makes sense. And, moving forward, if we are seeing the big bear trend on its way back then the tech-heavy index may remain as a more attractive venue for bears.
I had looked into this on Wednesday, comparing the recent moves of the two indices. The S&P 500 had found support at the 38.2% retracement of the pandemic move, and resistance at the 23.6% retracement. Presented below on the weekly chart.
S&P 500 Weekly Chart
Chart prepared by James Stanley; S&P 500 on Tradingview
To make an apples-to-apples comparison, the Nasdaq 100 has slid all the way down to the 50% marker of the same major move, spanning the March 2020 low up to the recent high. And while the S&P 500 bounced up for resistance at the 23.6% retracement, the Nasdaq bounced up for resistance at the 38.2% retracement.
From these comparable Fibonacci retracements, we can see greater development of the bearish theme in the Nasdaq 100 as the easy-money policies that built this move have started to come out of the market.
Nasdaq 100 Weekly Price Chart
Chart prepared by James Stanley; Nasdaq 100 on Tradingview
And even on a shorter-term basis, the Nasdaq 100 has some greater bearish appeal as prices have already started to peel down into that next support zone.
Given that this is a Friday and we’ve already seen a strong move over the past 18 hours, this could be difficult to chase. But, it very much remains in focus for next week as the FOMC goes through what’s likely to be one of the more climactic FOMC rate decisions in recent memory.

“Dancing With the Stars” champion Jordan Fisher has welcomed his first child alongside his wife, Ellie Woods Fisher.
Fisher announced his first child’s welcome to the world with a sweet video documenting Woods’ pregnancy and the birth of their first son.
“What a journey this has been,” he wrote. “We’re so incredibly blessed to meet our first born.”
The announcement included the baby’s name, Riley William Fisher, and date of birth, June 7, 2022 at 4:20 p.m.
Fisher won season 25 of “Dancing With the Stars.” During his time on the show, Fisher teamed up with Lindsay Arnold as his professional dancer, and they ultimately pulled away with the win at the end of the season in 2017. Since then, some fans have stated that he should return to the show as the host.
Fisher Was Hoping to Get Pregnant ‘By Osmosis’
After Arnold had her first daughter, Sage, Fisher was able to go meet her and spend some time together. He told Heavy that he was hoping that he and his wife were hoping to have their own child soon and were hoping the trip would help with that.
“We went and stayed with them for like, a week, after she had the baby,” he told us in March 2022. “We were like, by osmosis, maybe we get pregnant.”
They officially announced their pregnancy in December 2022.
On December 14, 2021, Ellie took a video of herself giving Jordan a new jacket that said “Papa” on it. In the jacket’s pocket, there was a positive pregnancy test. He immediately started crying in the video.
They also included a gender reveal in the video.
Fisher captioned the video, “And the journey begins… we can’t wait to meet you.”
Fisher Joined a New Studio as a Creative Advisor
Fisher has officially launched a new project, teaming up with GameSquare and scored a leading role in a new romantic comedy.
Fisher will serve as the Creative Advisor for Original IP Development at Fourth Frame Studios, which is a content production and creative execution studio owned by esports and gaming company GameSquare Esports, according to Deadline.
The studio plans to “create and produce culturally relevant content for clients across a number of industries,” Deadline reports.
Fisher is set to work in the TV and streaming portion of the company.
Fisher plans to utilize his love of gaming as a way to help him succeed at his new role.
“I’ve been gaming my whole life – it’s been a great way for me to connect with friends, family, and my fans,” Fisher said, per Deadline. “As an original IP advisor at Fourth Frame Studios, I’ll be able to uniquely merge my passion for gaming with my expertise in film and television to ideate meaningful and authentic programming beyond the more traditional platforms of today.”
“Dancing With the Stars” is set to return in the fall of 2022. The show will air on Disney+ rather than on ABC in a first for both the show and the network.

ONE of the biggest issues currently facing British expats resident in Spain or those hoping to relocate here is the failure between the UK and Spain to come to a bilateral agreement over driving licence recognition for British residents in Spain who still have UK issued licences.
The Olive Press has been highlighting the issue affecting our readers across Spain and is determined to highlight their experiences in the hope of adding pressure on the authorities to make it a priority to resolve the problem.
Here we attempt to explain in depth what the situation is, how we got here and how people are affected.
Who can and can’t drive in Spain?
Spain has a law that requires those foreign citizens who live here permanently to swap their driving licence for a Spanish-issued one within six months of being resident.
This rule has been in place for decades although many Brits living here didn’t follow the law and never swapped their licences despite being legally required to do so.
Swapping is theoretically a relatively easy process for those with an EU-issued driving licence, and this was the case for Brits living in Spain until Brexit changed everything.
The process involves making a cita previa at the local DGT office, turning up with a valid licence, a filled-in form, a residency document, and a passport.
Applicants were also required to present a certificate to show that the driver has passed a very simple medical check carried out at authorised testing centres that checked eye-sight and reflexes.
Plus a receipt of payment for the application made at an approved bank is required.
The application was submitted with a check made by the DGT together with the issuing authorities in the country where the licence was issued – which for Brits was the DVLA.
If the check came back clear, then a Spanish driving licence was either ready for collection or mailed out anytime between three weeks and three months from the original appointment.
This is still the process for swapping a driving licence for those who come from a country within the EU zone.
Unfortunately this is no longer the process for Brits living in Spain since the UK left the European Union as a result of the Brexit referendum.
However Brits are, like every other foreign resident, still required by law to have a Spanish licence if they wish to drive legally after six months of being resident in Spain.
Those visiting Spain from the UK, or anywhere outside the EU zone, are allowed to drive a car in Spain for a period up to six months so this rule does not affect holidaymakers and only applies to those with residency in Spain.
What happened with Brexit?
As mentioned above, everything changed for Brits with the UK’s decision to leave the European Union.
The UK officially left the European Union on January 31 2020, but that didn’t mean things changed overnight.
A Withdrawal Agreement was struck between the UK and member states which established a transition period that ran until December 31 2020.
It was also agreed that any Brit who was resident in an EU country before this date would be able to enjoy the same rights they had to live and work in their adopted EU country.
In Spain that meant that those who were resident here before December 31 2020 would still be able to swap their driving licences using the old process.
However, because of conditions caused by Covid – which saw DGT offices closed for months during the pandemic – combined with a last minute rush as thousands of Brits tried to regularise their situation – it became impossible for many people to complete the process before the deadline.
Therefore Spain came up with an interim plan.
Those who lived in Spain before the Brexit deadline and had their rights covered under the withdrawal agreement had to register their intent to change their driving licence before December 30. They could do this by phoning a dedicated phone line and giving their information.
Spain said this was to allow those who registered intent before the deadline to be given a six month grace period to secure the appointment and make the change before June 30 2021.
Because of the huge numbers applying and because of the continuing problems securing appointments this grace period was extended first until the end of October 2021, and then a further three times until finally Spain refused any further extensions.
This meant that from May 1 those Brits who had been living in Spain longer than six months were no longer legally allowed to drive on a British licence.
This applies even to those who had lodged their intent to exchange before the December 2020 deadline but had not yet done so as well as those who had been resident but failed to register intent, along with anyone who arrived after Brexit.
During all this time Spain and Britain have been ‘in negotiations’ for a permanent solution to the issue that would allow British residents to easily swap their licences for Spanish ones in the same way that they could in the pre-Brexit era.
The vast majority of EU countries have been able to reach a deal with the United Kingdom over the recognition and easy exchange of driving licences post-Brexit, but the bilateral deal with Spain has not been forthcoming.
For weeks and weeks we have been given regular updates by the British Ambassador who said that negotiations are progressing and an agreement is likely to be struck in the near future.
So it was a major blow when the Spanish authorities refused to prolong the extension leaving hundreds if not thousands of Brits in limbo.
Those Brits are now left unable to drive legally and with the only option of taking a Spanish driving test or waiting for who-knows-how-long until an agreement is made in the hope that it means an easy exchange will be possible.
What about this agreement?
It is unclear yet if any future agreement would benefit just those British residents who are protected under the Withdrawal Agreement or will include UK licence holders who moved to Spain to become resident after Brexit came into force on January 1st 2021.
We don’t know exactly what is on the cards, as the Ambassador keeps reminding us.
“Unfortunately, I simply can’t go into lots of detail or give a running commentary of what is an ongoing negotiation,” Hugh Elliott said in the latest update on June 2.
But he does remain committed to striking a deal and remains optimistic that it will happen soon. “I assure you we are working on this everyday. We are genuinely making progress,” he said
He did have one piece of good news that “an agreement had been reached on a clause that will permit everyone back on the road from the moment an agreement is signed for a period of up to six months to allow people time to once again try and exchange their licences.”
He declined to give an exact time frame of when an agreement might be signed but said he expected it to take a matter of ‘weeks rather than months.’
There have been rumours that part of the reason an agreement has been so elusive is that the UK government has refused to allow the sharing of passenger details from the DVLA with its Spanish counterpart, the DGT.
Data sharing would allow Spain to more effectively pursue those who speed and commit other offences after they have left Spain and would allow for the automatic issuing of fines for offences committed by British drivers.
However, this is currently not the case in any other agreement between the UK and an EU country, which, it has been alleged, is why the UK has refused.
The Foreign Office – which is leading negotiations on the British side – denied the data sharing issue was a sticking point to the Olive Press.
Without a bilateral deal on driving licences, the UK will continue to be third country for the recognition and exchange of licences. Under the current rules most non-EU driving licence holders have six months from their arrival in Spain to use their foreign licences before they are required to change them for a Spanish one. (although some need an international driving permit from the very beginning).
Limbo
There are no figures on exactly how many Brits resident in Spain are waiting to exchange their driving licences. But of the more than 407,000 Brits now officially registered as residents it is a minority.
However for many of the hundreds or possibly thousands of those unable to legally drive, the issue has been devastating.
There have been reports of Brits living in rural areas without public transport who are now stranded and no longer able to access shops or medical services.
Many readers have written in the Olive Press to share their plight describing how they are isolated and now reliant on the kindness of neighbours or left having to fork out huge expense for taxis.
There are those who are nervous about going through the Spanish driving test as they fear their Spanish skills aren’t adequate.
Others who have attempted to enrole in Spanish driving licences, a necessary requirement before taking the test have found there are long delays for lessons and it could be months before they can take the practical test.
Backlash
Not everyone is sympathetic to those who have been left in limbo in the driving licence debacle.
Dozens of comments on social media posts about the issue, most significantly beneath the regular updates on the Brits in Spain Facebook page run by the Embassy, point out that there was plenty of time and endless warnings about the need to exchange licences ahead of the Brexit deadline.
Some express a definite lack of sympathy for anyone who failed to do so, accusing them of either holding a ‘colonialist attitude’ for living in Spain but refusing to abide by the local rules, or of putting their head in the sand and ignoring the warnings.
And while it is true that it has always been a legal obligation to do the licence exchange, many thousands of people hadn’t fulfilled that obligation and the last minute rush to do so overloaded the system and meant many missed the deadline.
Moreover, we have heard of dozens of examples of those who attempted to follow instructions but were thwarted either by the system failing or through bad advice from ‘gestors’ and even local officials who ought to have known better.
Others had the misfortune of arriving in Spain after the Brexit deadline meaning the ‘registering intent’ was impossible.
Our campaign
The Olive Press is calling for an immediate return of the ability of Brits to swap their licence once they have settled here.
We have the support of councillors, business people and residents and believe that a failure to enact a change now will result in misery for thousands.
We are urging everyone to sign the parliamentary petition HERE to allow Brits back on the road.
We are continuing to publicise the stories of those for whom driving in Spain is absolutely essential and are demanding faster action from the government on both sides.

'Samrat Prithviraj' shows cancelled due to empty theatres; second consecutive flop for Akshay
Mumbai, June 10, 2022
Akshay Kumar's period drama 'Samrat Prithviraj' has turned out to be a commercial disaster as the film has earned a measly total of Rs 55 crore at the domestic box office against its massive reported budget of Rs 200 crore, something which is a part and parcel of a period film given the heavy production design, VFX and era-specific costume design.
Reportedly, the film's shows in many circuits are being cancelled and flushed out due to zero occupancy to make way for more commercially viable shows of other films, reminiscent of the fate of Kangana Ranaut-starrer 'Dhaakad' which had reportedly put up a collection of just Rs 4,400 on day 8 of its release with just 20 tickets sold across India.
"Samrat Prithviraj", a YRF production, directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi, opened in theatres on June 3 where it clashed with two films from different territories -- the trilingual "Major" (Hindi, Telugu and Malayalam) and the pan-India "Vikram" starring Kamal Haasan, Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi.
While both "Major" and "Vikram" continue to register an upswing in their collections, "Samrat Prithviraj" has been singularly rejected by cinegoers despite its grandeur and scale.
Senior film trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his Twitter account to share the figures of Samrat Prithviraj's India business.
He tweeted, "#SamratPrithviraj is rejected... The heavy budget on one hand and the poor outcome on the other, has sent shock waves within the industry... Fri 10.70 cr, Sat 12.60 cr, Sun 16.10 cr, Mon 5 cr, Tue 4.25 cr, Wed 3.60 cr, Thu 2.80 cr. Total: 55.05 cr. #India biz (sic)."
"Samrat Prithviraj" is the second commercial dud in line both for Akshay Kumar (after "Bachchhan Paandey") and Yash Raj Films ("Jayeshbhai Jordaar").

Belle & Sebastian share new single “A Bit of Previous,” on tour now
Belle & Sebastian have a history of releasing some of their best songs on EPs or as non-LP singles, from "Dog on Wheels" and "Waking Up to Us" to "Legal Man" and "Your Cover's Blown." Still it seems especially contrarian to leave the title track off your just-released album of the same name. Technically, "A Bit of Previous" came on a bonus 7" with pre-order copies of the album and now that song is officially out as a standalone single.
If "A Bit of Previous" had been on the album, it would've been one of the strongest songs on an already great record and sparkles with the kind of jangly guitar that might have you wondering "Did Johnny Marr play on this?" The video, directed and illustrated by Graham Samuels, is pretty special, too. Watch that below.

Liverpool’s frightening attacking trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane was always going to come to an end eventually.
And the three, who have scored a combined 374 goals for the Premier League club, will be broken up this summer, with Mane set to leave and head to Bayern Munich.
The likes of Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota have been brought in to great effect in recent years as the Reds pre-planned for the departure of their star strikers – and another could now be set to join the club.
And Darwin Nunez is a player tipped to replace Mane. He’s a man Liverpool know well after from their Champions League games last season.
The 22-year-old scored in both legs of their European clash, which the Merseysiders won 6-4 on aggregate.
However, at £85m, he will cost more than the club’s most expensive player – Virgil van Dijk.
“That’s where the two clubs are at, at the moment. It will pain Manchester United fans to admit this, but at the moment Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp are a bigger attraction than Man United and Erik ten Hag,” talkSPORT’s man for the transfer window, Alex Crook explained.
It’s perhaps a move that should have been expected given Klopp’s comments after the Reds’ two-legged victory over the Portuguese side, where he heaped praise on the Uruguayan forward’s footballing ability… and good looks!

“Extremely good looking boy, huh?” the Anfield boss joked earlier this year.
“And a decent player as well,” he added. “Really good, really good. I knew before, of course, but he played pretty much in front of me with his tough battles with Ibrahima Konate.
“He was physically strong, quick, was calm around his finish. Good, really good. I always say in these situations if he is healthy, it’s a big career ahead of him.”
Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has previously argued a goal scoring central midfielder should also be on their agenda this summer.
The Aston Villa boss said on BT Sport after the defeat to Real Madrid: “For Liverpool, if you think about the next five, six, seven years, they’re going to need a midfielder.
“An eight, who can get goals, who can get double figures.
“They are heavily reliant on the front three, or the front five if you include Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino, but you always need one of those midfielders that are going to get in the box and get you goals.”
But perhaps that could be a role that new signing Fabio Carvalho could play.
The addition of the ex-Fulham youngster may have gone under the radar after busy few weeks on the pitch for Liverpool, but the deal to sign the 19-year-old could be an important one.
The midfielder scored 10 goals and provided nine assists from attacking midfield in the campaign just gone, helping the west Londoners to promotion back to the Premier League.
Whilst he’s not exactly the sort of player Gerrard was referring to, the Portuguese-born technician could be given a chance to impress next season.
The rest of their starting XI is likely to remain the same, which makes sense when you consider that they were essentially two wins away from winning the quadruple.
Klopp likes to make slight changes season by season and keep the opposition guessing, which could see new signings or even a slight change in system.
As for what that may look like, talkSPORT has taken a look…
4-3-3 – No new summer signings
4-3-3 – Nunez and Carvalho in
4-2-1-3 – Firmino as a No.10

LARGO, Fla. (AP) — A man found dead in a Florida lake while searching for Frisbees and other flying discs was missing three limbs after a likely encounter with alligators, police said Friday.
Largo Police Department spokeswoman Megan Santo said in an email that the medical examiner's final report on the death of Sean McGuinness would be finished in about two months.
McGuinness, 47, was found May 31 in the lake in Taylor Park, which is adjacent to a disc golf course. Authorities say McGuinness was known to frequent the lake to find discs and sell them.
It's not clear whether McGuinness drowned, had a medical issue or was killed by alligators. But Santo said he was missing three limbs when his body was found.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said two large alligators were trapped — one 10 feet (3 meters) long, the other 8 feet (2.4 meters) — but necropsies did not implicate either in McGuinness’ death.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A roadside historical marker installed less than a year ago to honor a gay rights pioneer has been removed after a state senator raised concerns with Pennsylvania's state history agency about the man's 30-year-old memories of an early sexual encounter with another boy.
The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission had the marker in honor of Richard Schlegel taken down June 3 from its location outside his former home, a block from the Capitol in downtown Harrisburg.
The decision came about six months after state Sen. John DiSanto, R-Dauphin, wrote to say Schlegel's remarks in a lengthy biographical piece were “reprehensible and would be considered criminal, regardless of sexual orientation.”
The commission's action and DiSanto's letter were first reported by Pennlive.com.
Schlegel, who died in 2006 at age 79, is a former state highway department official who founded the Harrisburg region's first LGBTQ group. His unsuccessful effort to overturn his firing by the federal government based on his sexual identity ended when the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take the case in 1970.
DiSanto said Tuesday he was alerted by a constituent about Schlegel's comments in a 1993 personal history posted online that Schlegel provided to the Philadelphia LGBT History Project.
“I think it demonstrates a history of him grooming young boys and being involved in pedophilia and sex acts throughout that, including ultimately helping to operate a magazine with young nudes and things like that,” DiSanto said.
The state Historical and Museum Commission has been seeking more markers about previously underrepresented people and groups, offering financial support for the markers if their subjects concern women, Hispanics, Latinos and Asian Americans, or if they are about Black and LGBTQ history outside Philadelphia.
“He is certainly an important figure in the context of Pennsylvania,” said Barry Loveland, chair of the history project at the LGBT Center of Central Pennsylvania. He was the driving force behind the application to honor Schlegel. “There were very few leaders, if you will, at that time — people who were willing to stick their neck out and actually have their name known.”
Schlegel was fired in July 1961 from a civilian job with the Army’s transportation office in Hawaii after his sexual activities surfaced during an investigation to qualify for a top secret clearance.
He appealed his firing for “immoral and indecent conduct” to the U.S. Court of Claims, which upheld the dismissal on grounds that his sexual orientation in a government job would inevitably make the agency less efficient.
“Any schoolboy knows that a homosexual act is immoral, indecent, lewd and obscene,” a claims court judge wrote in ruling against him in October 1969. “Adult persons are even more conscious that this is true.”
In the personal history told to scholar Marc Stein, now a history professor at San Francisco State University, Schlegel recalled how he was subsequently hired in 1963 under then-Gov. Bill Scranton to fix a highways department “fiscal and budgetary situation” and give the governor greater control over the department.
He was forced to resign two years later after postal inspectors informed his supervisors about mail he was getting for the Janus Society, an educational, social and advocacy group founded in Philadelphia during the early 1960s by gay and lesbian activists.
The marker called Schlegel a trail-blazing activist whose job discrimination case produced key arguments that were valuable in later decisions.
DiSanto's December letter to the commission described a section of the interview with Stein in which Schlegel recalled a sexual experience he had with a neighbor boy while living on a farm in Milroy, a small town some 20 miles (32 kilometers) east of State College. Schlegel's account suggests he sexually touched the boy when he was 16 and the other boy was 11 or 12.
Schlegel may not have anticipated that his interview with Stein would end up available to anyone over the internet. He described his sexual history in frank terms, recalled controversies regarding gay publications in which he played a role, recounted his interactions with other prominent figures in Philadelphia gay culture in the '60s and ’70s and related other stories from his personal and work life.
Schlegel described how some of his acquaintances would photograph nude underage boys. In some cases, he said, he scolded them but at other times he described them to Stein sympathetically.
When Stein said some of the photos he had seen in Gay International magazine were of “quite young boys,” Schlegel agreed.
“Young, young, young,” he told Stein. “Of course, there wasn't this national or international obsession with molesting kids at that point.”
A close friend of his faced criminal charges for taking photos of an underage boy at a home in rural Perry County in the late 1960s. Schlegel said he tried to intervene through the county prosecutor but it did not help his friend's case.
“The kid didn’t seem to object, but that didn’t make any difference,” Schlegel told Stein. “I mean Bob simply had no defense. He was convicted."
Stein said in an interview this week that he was dismayed by the commission's decision, and expressed doubt that the commission or DiSanto properly understood the legal and historical context in which Schlegel's decisions and actions occurred.
He said DiSanto's charge that Schlegel's actions were criminal was made “without doing sufficient homework to really establish that.”
As for the commission, he expressed doubts that their action in Schlegel's case was following consistent rules.
“So have they investigated every person on a historical marker in Pennsylvania to make sure that they never did something reprehensible for which they never expressed remorse?" Stein said.
Loveland said he and the LGBT Center of Central Pennsylvania are considering the commission's offer to submit another nomination. But he said they are unsure how to accomplish that while excluding Schlegel, because his legal case provided the national importance to justify a marker. | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Pennsylvania-pulls-gay-pioneer-s-marker-over-1993-17233019.php | 2022-06-10T16:05:24Z | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Pennsylvania-pulls-gay-pioneer-s-marker-over-1993-17233019.php | false | 14 |

“Animals need advocates to shield them from malice and routine exploitation,” said Wayne Pacelle, president of Animal Wellness Action and the Center for a Humane Economy. “Our new hires are tenacious, smart, and experienced, and I thank them profusely for devoting their careers to the noble cause of reducing pain and suffering in the world.”
NATALIE AHWESH
Director of Grassroots Advocacy
Natalie Ahwesh earned her bachelor’s degree in Legal Studies from the University of Pittsburgh, Administration of Justice, French, and Mathematics. She received her master’s degree in Secondary Mathematics Education from The George Washington University. After working as a collegiate mathematics instructor for over a decade, Natalie is proud to take her passion for animal welfare full time with Animal Wellness Action.
Currently residing in Pittsburgh, Penn., Natalie helped found Humane Action Pittsburgh, a grassroots organization advancing animal protection through education, policy, and community action. She has helped to pass dozens of local laws, including Pennsylvania’s first ban on animal performances in circuses. She is passionate about farm animal protection, reducing single-use plastic, and ensuring existing laws are properly enforced.

Aaron Kromer enjoys teaching.
It’s that part of the job the Buffalo Bills’ new offensive line coach identifies with most.
Last year, however, Kromer took a break from the job he had held for the previous 31 years – 11 at the college level and the past 20 in the NFL, most recently as the Los Angeles Rams’ offensive line coach and run game coordinator from 2017-20.
That meant more time at home, which was initially a good thing.
“I had a lot of family time,” Kromer said in an interview with The Buffalo News. “You work every fall. You don't get much time to see your parents or your siblings and those kind of things, so it was great to have that time to reconnect and be around the people that you love.”
Kromer, though, eventually got the itch to start teaching again. With his son, Zak, working as an offensive assistant with the Rams and his daughter, Brooke, working in real estate in Florida, the only one left in the house was his wife, Dawn.
People are also reading…
“When I started trying to teach my wife everything, she said, ‘You need to get a job. You need to go find somebody else to teach,’ ” he joked. “I was like, 'You've got a good point. I need to do this again.' So I was excited to have this opportunity.”
It’s a return to Buffalo for Kromer, who spent the 2015-16 seasons as the Bills’ offensive line coach under Rex Ryan. To say the franchise is in a much different spot now than it was then would be a colossal understatement.
“I believe that – not comparing the two – this team and organization now is really checking every box from the top down,” Kromer said. “They are making sure everything is done. Every ‘t’ is crossed, every ‘i’ is dotted, and with that they’ve created a culture of winning. They’ve gathered good players, good coaches. It's built a wonderful, successful program. Obviously, this is a good football team run by good people. You could tell how well things are being run at this point.”
Kromer might not want to make comparisons to the first time he was here, but they’re unavoidable. Simply put, the Ryan years were a circus. When the head coach wasn’t too busy coming to news conferences in helmets, he was forgetting to put enough players on the field. The Bills, who at the time had the longest streak of missing the playoffs of any team in North American professional sports, were a laughingstock.
Nobody’s laughing anymore. The Bills are on the short list of Super Bowl contenders entering the 2022 season.
“Everything's changed. There is only one player left on the team, not in my position, not on offensive line, but even on the team that was here before,” Kromer said, referencing long snapper Reid Ferguson. “No coaches. It's been great to get to know these guys and really see how they've created a successful program. It was just exciting to get back here. Shoot, we love the people in Buffalo. Everybody is so welcoming, and it feels like home when you come back, so it's been great.”
Kromer’s first time with the Bills was not without controversy. In July 2015, before his first season with the team, he was arrested in Florida and charged with misdemeanor battery that caused bodily harm after he allegedly punched a boy over the use of beach chairs. According to the police report, Kromer also told the alleged victim that he would kill his family if he reported the incident to police.
Charges in the case were dropped later that same month at the request of the accusers’ parents. Nevertheless, Kromer was suspended by the team for the first six games of the 2015 season. He has never commented publicly on the situation.
Kromer said the year away from football was a good chance for him to mentally reset.
Support Local Journalism
“Very much so,” he said. I feel “100% different. You can clear your mind and find out what's important and what isn't important, and how you can fix things that shouldn't be as much of a stressor on you, that you make in your mind a big stress. You realize that it's not as big, and you can work through those things. Work on the boulders and not as much the pebbles.”
Kromer takes over for former offensive line coach Bobby Johnson, who followed Brian Daboll to the New York Giants. Given that the entire offensive line has turned over since he was here, Kromer has been playing catch-up on getting to know his players.
“I believe that this is a group that wants to be better and wants to work, wants to adhere to the techniques that we're teaching,” he said. “When it comes down to it, football is won with technique. It's one-on-one in a lot of situations, and somebody has to out-technique the other person. I think there's a lot of talent on the line, but I think there's a lot of work to be done with technique, and we're getting there.”
At this stage in the offseason, teams are limited in the amount of physical contact that is permitted at practice. Obviously, that limits some of what the offensive linemen can do, but Kromer said his group is still making significant progress.
“We're wearing helmets and shorts. Luckily, we teach a lot of hands blocking,” he said.
“Controlling your guys with your hands, so that works out well with no pads on, you don't have to smash into each other to get that done – no matter what scheme it is. We're really trying to build the fundamentals and the ideals of the offense right now and then carry it into the padded training camp.”
During his two seasons in Buffalo, the Bills led the NFL in rushing both years, averaging 152.0 yards in 2015 and 164.4 yards in 2016.
“I think it's a physical brand,” Kromer, 55, said of his preferred scheme. “I would tell you if you compartmentalize schemes, you can minimize what you work on. So if we're running a zone scheme, we're working on these things. This is the criteria that has to be right to make this play work. Then, you have gap schemes, and there are different ways to get the gaps, but if you compartmentalize that technique, what you're trying to get done, what the goal of the offense is, you can run multiple schemes.
“That's where I think we're at, and that's where I believe you have the most success, is when you can run gap schemes and zone schemes – whatever schemes you feel are necessary for your talent. You can't hit a round peg into a square hole and hope that you're going to run this zone play if that doesn't fit, or hope you're going to run this gap play if that doesn't fit. So, what's best for your people? What's best for your running backs, your quarterback? That's what you need to do best.”
“Every O-line coach is different,” center Mitch Morse said. “I know that's cliché and kind of, ‘of course.’ But he (Kromer) tries to work everyone's advantages and their strengths into their advantages. So maybe he doesn't coach me the same as he would have coached someone else just because physiologically we move differently or we're playing different positions. Now for every O-line coach, there's certain things that are undeniably what we're going to do as an offensive line. But at the same time, there are certain things that certain guys he’ll let do because they play to their individual strengths.”
Kromer is still in the process of figuring those out.
“The opportunity, obviously, was a great reason to come back. I enjoy teaching,” he said.
“Like I always tell the offensive linemen, we're not in charge of scoring, we're in charge of doing our job, blocking our guy, understanding what the defense is doing, taking advantage of that, using our technique and continuing to get better. Good things happen if you do those things. Don't worry about a guy catching a ball, dropping a ball, missing a pass, those things. Those are out of our control. When you focus in and realize what your responsibility is, it can ease your mind of a lot of the stress and allow you to have success in what you're in charge of.”
The Bills last year ranked sixth in rushing, averaging 129.9 yards per game. The line also gave up just 27 sacks, which ranked as the second fewest in the NFL. Both of those totals are greatly impacted by quarterback Josh Allen, who rushed for 763 yards, and escaped several would-be sacks with his elusiveness.
Kromer will be counted on to help build on the foundation the Bills have in place up front. At the NFL scouting combine earlier this offseason, Bills coach Sean McDermott called the addition of Kromer a “big-time hire” for his staff. In his career as either an offensive line coach or offensive coordinator, Kromer has helped 16 players earn 23 Pro Bowl appearances.
The early impressions of the work he’s done so far have been favorable.
“That’s my dog,” Pro Bowl left tackle Dion Dawkins said. “I like him. He is a real pro, true pro. Not to say that the other coaches weren’t like true pros – like ‘OG’ (Johnson), he was a dog, he was cool, too. But Kromer, he’s a different-style coach. He understands the room, he understands that everybody is drastically different, and he understands that everybody’s play is going to be drastically different. That’s what I love about him. He’s not trying to make us all look like robots. … With just hearing him say comments like that, I see the insight of his brain, that he understands that everybody is different, and as an O-line, even though everybody has to play in unison, but everybody will play their own form of that unison role, and I’m thankful for him. I’m happy for him.” | https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/offensive-line-coach-aaron-kromer-returns-to-a-bills-team-thats-nothing-like-the-one/article_2707de22-e8cc-11ec-9560-1f401920b449.html | 2022-06-10T16:11:06Z | https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/offensive-line-coach-aaron-kromer-returns-to-a-bills-team-thats-nothing-like-the-one/article_2707de22-e8cc-11ec-9560-1f401920b449.html | true | 1 |

(The Hill) — The Biden administration announced Friday that it is ending a requirement that international travelers test negative for the coronavirus before coming to the United States.
“CDC has determined based on the science and data that this requirement is no longer necessary at this time,” a senior administration official said.
The requirement ends starting at 12:01 AM Sunday.
Some experts had noted that the requirement did not seem to be serving much purpose, given that COVID-19 is already circulating widely within the United States.
The travel industry had also lobbied to remove the requirement, saying it was no longer needed.
“It’s unclear what pre-arrival testing was actually achieving,” tweeted Jennifer Nuzzo, an infectious disease expert at Brown University. “My experience getting tested abroad left me unconvinced that tests were actually being performed in a useful way. It seemed more likely that I got a negative result for a price.”
The move is another sign of a new era of COVID-19 where some of the measures designed when the virus was seen as an overwhelming crisis are being wound down.
“We are able to take this step because of the tremendous progress we’ve made in our fight against the virus: We have made lifesaving vaccines and treatments widely available and these tools are working to prevent serious illness and death, and are effective against the prevalent variants circulating in the U.S. and around the world,” the senior administration official said. | https://fox40.com/news/national-and-world-news/biden-officials-ending-international-travel-testing-requirement/ | 2022-06-10T16:15:31Z | https://fox40.com/news/national-and-world-news/biden-officials-ending-international-travel-testing-requirement/ | false | 17 |

Weekend travel between Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland will once again be impacted by BC Ferries’ ongoing labour issues.
Friday and Sunday sailings on the Queen of New Westminster vessel have been cancelled due to staffing shortages.
Friday’s 4 p.m. Tsawwassen and 6 p.m. Swartz Bay departures are among the cancellations. Four Sunday sailings have also been scrapped. They include the 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. out of Tsawwassen and the 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. ferries leaving Swartz Bay.
The cancellations are due to BC Ferries needing a specific number of crew members on board to ensure passenger safety in the event of an emergency and to comply with Transport Canada regulations, according to a Friday service notice.
Those impacted by the cancellations will be contacted and notified if there’s space available to fit them on an alternate sailing later in the day, or if their booking must be cancelled. Those axed trips will be refunded.
BC Ferries said cancellations are made after it’s exhausted all options to find a replacement crew and customers will be notified if such a crew becomes available.
The ferry provider advises travellers to use the Tsawwassen/ Duke Point and Horseshoe Bay/ Departure Bay routes as an alternative.
The staffing shortages have also prompted baggage services on the Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen route to be suspended indefinitely, effective 7 a.m. on Friday.
Other sailings between Metro Vancouver and the Sunshine Coast were reinstated Friday as those previous staffing issues have been resolved.
Those Queen of Surrey sailings running again as of June 10 include the 8:40 a.m. and 11 a.m. departing Langdale and the 9:50 a.m. and 12:10 p.m. leaving Horseshoe Bay.
Up-to-date sailing information can be found at @BC Ferries on Twitter, at at www.bcferries.com or at 1-888-223-3779.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Jocelyn Alo and Tiare Jennings put Oklahoma on the brink of a repeat national championship with their stellar play throughout the Women's College World Series.
Their teammates brought it home.
Kinzie Hansen and Grace Lyons hit three-run homers, Jayda Coleman made spectacular defensive plays and No. 1 seed Oklahoma defeated unseeded Texas 10-5 on Thursday night to win its second straight title.
Alo, the two-time USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year, was named Most Outstanding Player. She hit .667 for the World Series, tied Jennings for a series-record five home runs and set a series mark with 12 runs scored.
Alo ends her career with a Division I record 122 home runs. Most important to her, she ended one of the greatest college careers with a win.
"These are the moments that I'll remember forever," she said. "I'm just happy to be going out top and to just know that all the hard work we put in paid off."
The Sooners (59-3) claimed the best-of-three series against their Big 12 rival 2-0 after winning Game 1 on Wednesday 16-1 with a record six home runs. It was Oklahoma's sixth overall national championship and fifth in the past nine World Series.
Alo hit a hard single in her final at-bat in the sixth inning and later scored. In the seventh, she stepped in to play left field and caught two fly balls for outs before leaving the game to a standing ovation.
The future looks bright for the Sooners. Jennings — just a sophomore — set a World Series record with 15 RBIs. Coleman is a sophomore, too.
And then there's Oklahoma's Jordy Bahl (22-1). The NFCA Freshman of the Year settled down after a rough start. She allowed two runs and four hits in four innings.
"We're all competitors, and when you are a competitor, if there's something else out there you can go get, you're going to want to go get it," Bahl said. "So I don't ever worry about us ever losing our hunger to win more national championships. I'm going to enjoy this one."
Texas wasn't even expected to reach the World Series, but the Longhorns expected a better performance than they gave in Game 1. Texas coach Mike White called Wednesday's loss to Oklahoma embarrassing and thought Thursday's effort was better.
"My job was to pick them back up, (have them) come back out and fight," White said. "Do the Texas fight. I thought we did that. I thought we fought well. Just didn't turn out our way."
Texas pitcher Estelle Czech (13-2) began Thursday's game with three shutout innings, but ran into trouble in the fourth and fifth and was replaced.
Mia Scott hit a three-run homer and JJ Smith had two hits for the Longhorns (47-22-1), who had survived six elimination games in NCAA tournament play before Thursday.
"I think it was all worth it in the end to say that we left it all out there and emptied our gas tanks to get to where we are," Texas catcher Mary Iakopo said.
The Longhorns looked ready to compete on Thursday. They loaded the bases with no outs in the first and scored two runs, but Coleman jumped above the fence for a spectacular grab that robbed Courtney Day of a two-run homer and ended the inning.
"I have seen Jayda do that over and over and over in practice, but when it's in a game and she has your back as well as everyone else on our defense, that stuff fires me up more than any strikeout ever will," Bahl said. "It gives us momentum and really just lets me take a deep breath because they got me."
Oklahoma finally got on the board in the fourth. After the Sooners got their first run following a throwing error, Taylon Snow's RBI single tied the game at 2-all.
In the fourth, Coleman had another defensive gem, throwing out a Texas runner at second from the warning track.
Alyssa Brito's RBI double in the fifth gave Oklahoma the lead for the first time, and Hansen's blast later in the inning put the Sooners up 6-2.
The crowd stood for Alo's at-bat in the sixth, hoping for one more blast. Instead, her single loaded the bases. Two batters later, Lyons' homer made it 10-2.
Then Alo had her moment in the seventh. Tears streamed down her face as she ran off the field.
"Going back-to-back — no better way to finish your career," Alo said. "I've had a lovely five years here, and it's been hard at times, but I wouldn't change it ... I've enjoyed my journey here, and sad that it's coming to an end."

Even after five attempts, the UFC failed to make the much-hyped matchup between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson. The two men have since gone their respective paths, with “The Eagle” heading into retirement and “El Cucuy” falling from grace and into an unfortunate skid.
Nonetheless, the what-ifs between the two men remain to be a hot topic. Recently, Khabib brought up the idea of possibly coaching against Ferguson in a future season of The Ultimate Fighter reality show. He even sent a personal message to UFC president Dana White to make it happen.
“If me and Tony, we’re gonna Ultimate Fighter coach, I think they can create some good content,” Khabib told ESPN’s Brett Okamoto in a recent interview. “If they interested, if Dana respond my message…”
“I don’t wanna give him pressure, but Dana, we have to finish two business: Islam Makhachev and Ultimate Fighter. Please, call me back, brother. Because if you don’t call me back, I’m gonna be in Vegas, June. Then you have to send me message, and your location.
“Be careful, Dana. We have to finish our business, brother. Call me back.”
White never seemed to get that message until recently, when he appeared on Barstool Sports’ My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox. And he says he’s on board with the idea.
“I’ll consider it. Congratulations. I will absolutely entertain that idea,” he said. “Hopefully, they’ll get pissed off enough with each other that they actually want to fight.
“I’m in. You sold me.”
The 33-year-old Khabib retired after his UFC 254 title defense against Justin Gaethje to end his career with a 29-0 slate. The 38-year-old Ferguson (25-7), meanwhile, is on a four-fight losing streak. He last fought at UFC 274 against Michael Chandler in May where he was viciously knocked out cold with a single front kick to the chin in the second round. | https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2022/6/10/23162191/dana-white-i-will-absolutely-entertain-the-idea-of-khabib-and-tony-ferguson-tuf-coaches-ufc-mma-news | 2022-06-10T16:19:59Z | https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2022/6/10/23162191/dana-white-i-will-absolutely-entertain-the-idea-of-khabib-and-tony-ferguson-tuf-coaches-ufc-mma-news | true | 1 |
Stranger Things star David Harbour has revealed that he was once "wildly addicted" to World of Warcraft.
Not only are games no longer seen as a pastime for only the nerdiest among us, but more and more, we see celebrities from film and TV declaring their love for the virtual world. One of gaming's most famous fans is, of course, Henry Cavill, who spent lockdown playing The Witcher games on the hardest difficulty setting. He was also once so engrossed in World of Warcraft that he missed a call offering him the role of Superman. And it turns out he's not the only famous face who found it difficult to tear themselves away from Blizzard's MMORPG.
As spotted by PC Gamer (opens in new tab), David Harbour, who plays Jim Hopper in Stranger Things, discussed his history with the series during a Geeked Week livestream. Around 17 minutes into the interview, host Felicia Day brings up Harbour's World of Warcraft past, at which point the actor laughs and says, "Oh my god, the most embarrassing thing in my existence".
"In 2005, I played the s*** out of this game," recalls Harbour. "It ruined my life for like a year. I mean, I was like out of my mind. I was wildly addicted to this video game. I was a Night Elf warrior called Norad".
Harbour goes on to explain how The Sims helped him to kick his World of Warcraft habit when he saw himself reflected in his virtual character. "You could be an actor on the Sims," explains Harbour. "You can progress in your career, but what you have to do is, like, work on things. You have to work on your speech and on your body, right?"
"I remember my avatar got to a certain level in his career, and I kept trying to get him to work on his speech. I wanted him to work on his speech and his body, and all he wanted to do was sit around and play video games. And then I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I had this vortex moment where I saw my life before my eyes."
Stranger Things season 4, part 1, recently launched on Netflix, and as well as netting Kate Bush a huge following of younger fans, the series has set an incredible Netflix viewing record. In its first week on the platform, the latest installment of the hit show amassed more than 335 million hours watched.

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Eva Mireles loved her dog, hiking and exercising. But mostly, she loved her family and her students.
A funeral Mass was Friday for Mireles, 44, who was killed May 24 when a gunman burst into Robb Elementary School in Uvalde Texas. Nineteen children and teacher Irma Garcia also died in the attack. Relatives briefed by police have said the two teachers died trying to protect their students.
Mireles was finishing up her 17th year of teaching. The school district’s superintendent, Hal Harrell, remembered Mireles and Garcia as teachers who “poured their heart and soul” into their work.
An obituary for Mireles said she “dedicated herself to her wonderful family and amazing students.” She enjoyed Crossfit, hiking and spending time with her dog, Kane.
“Her smile and personality never went unnoticed as when she was around, it was never a dull moment,” the obituary stated.
A relative, 34-year-old Amber Ybarra of San Antonio, remembered Mireles as a loving mother and wife.
“She was adventurous. ... She is definitely going to be very missed,” Ybarra said.
Mireles' enthusiasm came through in a post on the school’s website at the start of the school year.
“Welcome to the 4th grade! We have a wonderful year ahead of us!” she wrote.
The funeral for Garcia was last week. Services for the children will continue into late June.

While you sit there and try to figure out how you’re going to be able to afford the gas you need drive to the grocery store to buy the food you may not be able to afford once you get there, please try to spare a thought or two for the real victim of sky-high inflation: President Joe Biden.
The rise in inflation deepened the political challenges for Biden and his economic team, who have sought in recent weeks to reassure wary Americans that the specter of price hikes was beginning to fade. @jimtankersley https://t.co/4tCQnKkEAQ

A new acceleration of inflation in May deepened the political challenges for President Biden and his economic team, who have sought in recent weeks to reassure wary Americans that the specter of inflation is beginning to fade and the country is shifting toward more stable growth.
Damn those deepening political challenges! As if Biden didn’t have it hard enough already!
Friday’s release of Consumer Price Index data from the Labor Department contradicted, at least for a month, some of the administration’s more optimistic predictions. It showed prices of goods, like cars, eggs and clothing, growing faster in May than they did in April. A senior White House official told reporters in a background call on Thursday that the administration expected goods inflation to moderate in the months to come, specifically citing the car market, which has been pinched by semiconductor shortages and a resurgence of demand for vehicles.
The report also illustrated the degree to which the global shocks of the war in Ukraine continue to push American prices higher, particularly for energy and food.
Yes, thank you, New York Times, for reminding us that a lot of this is Putin’s fault.
It’s genuinely amazing: Somehow, literally nothing that has happened on Joe Biden’s watch is Joe Biden’s fault. He’s just an innocent bystander in all this.
Let’s consider the real victims here, Biden and his economic team, not suffering Americans who have to endure this administration's terrible policies and their consequences.
Super in touch, @peterbakernyt 👌🏻 https://t.co/XufJ7tseQP

Joe Biden cannot fail; he can only be failed.
Someone this week noted that basically the only thing these guys ever do is frame bad economic news around how its a challenge for Biden, and not because of him. It's only ever about how it affects him, not the people in the country. https://t.co/zF9lKzHbyi
— Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) June 10, 2022
Wow it's so sad that inflation keeps happening to Biden and totally isn't a result of his policies and decisions, thank you so much for this journalisming https://t.co/SNnCUGOvan
— Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) June 10, 2022
Go look into the New York Times’ archive and see if economic problems in a GOP administration have ever been presented primarily as a challenge for the administration as opposed to….everyone else. I don’t think you’ll find this. 100% empathy for Democrats is not journalism. https://t.co/4MTsrlYxEz

Burrow and Retailer to Work Together on Healthy Lifestyle and Food Insecurity Initiatives
CINCINNATI, June 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kroger Health, the healthcare division of the Kroger Co., today announced professional quarterback Joe Burrow will serve as a Brand Ambassador promoting Kroger Health initiatives.
Burrow, a southeast Ohio native, won the Heisman Trophy as college football's top player and the College Football Playoff National Championship in 2020 and was selected by the Bengals as the first overall pick in 2020. During the 2021 NFL season, Burrow led the Bengals to the AFC Championship and a Super Bowl appearance while setting franchise records for passer rating, completion percentage and single game passing yards.
Burrow's 2020 Heisman Trophy speech, in which he mentioned poverty and hunger in southeast Ohio, drove significant donations to the Athens County Food Pantry and led to the creation of the Joe Burrow Hunger Relief Fund. The fund has amassed more than $1.3 million dollars since it was founded and represents Burrow's continued effort to end food insecurity.
"As an athlete, I know the value of good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle," said Burrow. "I am honored to work together with Kroger to encourage families to make changes in their daily lives that can lead to healthier lifestyles, while also increasing access to nutritious foods for underserved communities. I look forward to sharing these important messages to Bengals Nation."
Burrow's commitment aligns perfectly with Kroger's Zero Hunger | Zero Waste social and environmental impact plan, to end food insecurity and waste in the communities Kroger serves by 2025. In 2021, the company directed a total of $343 million in charitable giving to our communities, including $199 million in food and funds for hunger relief. Through our Zero Hunger | Zero Waste Food Rescue program, our associates recovered 94 million pounds of surplus food from company-operated facilities, for a total of nearly 500 million meals for our communities.
"At Kroger, Our Purpose is to Feed the Human Spirit™ and our vision is to help people live healthier lives," said Colleen Lindholz, President of Kroger Health. "With Joe's commitment to ending hunger in his home area of southeast Ohio, this is a natural collaboration for us and will help to improve the health and wellness of thousands in our communities. We are thrilled to have Joe as a member of our Kroger Health team and applaud his support and commitment to our Cincinnati community. Together we can continue our shared commitment to promote and support healthier lifestyles."

Infowars bankruptcy tossed in deal with Sandy Hook parents
VICTORIA, Texas (AP) — A federal judge in Texas on Friday dismissed the bankruptcy protection case of Infowars and two other companies controlled by Alex Jones, the result of an agreement between lawyers for the conspiracy theorist and parents of some of the children slain in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez approved the deal after a brief court hearing. The judge’s action allows the parents’ defamation lawsuits against Jones to continue in Texas and Connecticut, where trials are pending on how much he should pay families after judges in both states found Jones and his companies liable for damages.
The families’ lawsuits say they have been subjected to harassment and death threats from Jones’ followers because of the hoax conspiracy. Jones, based in Austin, Texas, has since said he believes the shooting did occur.
Relatives of eight of the 20 first graders and six educators killed in the massacre and an FBI agent who responded to the school in Newtown, Connecticut, are suing Jones and Free Speech Systems.
Infowars, Prison Planet TV and IW Health consented to dismissing the bankruptcy case last week after the families agreed to drop the three companies from their defamation lawsuits. Those lawsuits will continue against Jones himself and his largest moneymaking company, Free Speech Systems.
The families and the U.S. trustee’s office — a Justice Department agency that oversees bankruptcy cases — had questioned the legitimacy of the three companies’ bankruptcy filing and sought to throw out the case, saying it was only a tactic to delay the lawsuits. Jones’ lawyers denied the allegations.

The Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has lauded the Nigerian Catholic Reverend Father, Vincent Atueyi Chinemelu, whose composition, ‘A Life Lived With Grace’, has become the song being used to mark the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
Fr. Chinemelu who hails from, Oraeri, Anambra State had in January won the Song for the Commonwealth competition, alongside lyricist, Lucy Kiely from Australia.
The winning song is being sung across the globe as beacons are being lit in honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The reverend is a multi-instrumentalist, who plays the piano, flute, cello, trumpet, alto sax and guitar.
According to a statement by the Press Secretary to the governor, Christian Aburime, on Friday, Soludo attributed the feat by the priest, to his dedication and grace of God, adding that by that singular achievement, Fr Chinemelu had brought honour, not only to the Holy Catholic Church but to his Oraeri community, Anambra State, and Nigeria.
“Fr. Chinemelu has exported the Anambra spirit of exploits and enterprise abroad. He has lived up to our motto as the Light of the Nation. By this spectacular achievement, he has brought uncommon honour to our state and the country.

“On behalf of the government and good people of Anambra State, I congratulate Rev Fr. Vincent Atueyi Chinemelu and wish him more glories ahead,” the governor was quoted as saying.

A roundup of some of the most popular but completely untrue stories and visuals of the week. None of these are legit, even though they were shared widely on social media. The Associated Press checked them out. Here are the facts:
___
COVID vaccines do not kill more people than rifles
CLAIM: Rifles caused 454 deaths in the United States in 2020, while COVID-19 vaccines caused 20,622 deaths in the United States in 2021.
THE FACTS: The claim that 20,000 people have died from COVID-19 vaccines misrepresents data maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration. To date, a total of nine deaths in the U.S. have been linked to the shots. As the country reels from a spate of mass shootings that have sparked calls for gun reform, social media users are distorting data to falsely claim that COVID-19 vaccines kill people more often than rifles do. The post uses a graphic that compares rifle death numbers to purported COVID-19 vaccine death numbers. The text claims that rifles killed 454 people in the U.S. in 2020 while COVID-19 vaccines killed 20,622 people in the U.S. in 2021. The post implies that vaccines cause more deaths than rifles do, but a closer look at the data reveals that’s false. The CDC data it cites comes from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, an early warning system run by the CDC and the FDA that is meant as a portal to share potential adverse events after vaccines, not a verified database of vaccine-related deaths. VAERS uses passive surveillance, meaning people self-report any negative medical event they experienced after getting vaccinated. Anyone can submit a report on any possible reaction after the vaccine and anyone can access the database. Health care providers and manufacturers are required to submit adverse responses reported after vaccines, even if they don’t know whether the vaccine caused them. The VAERS website explains that its data may include “information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable.” VAERS states that submissions or the number of reports in the system cannot be interpreted as causal evidence of an association between a vaccine and an adverse event. When serious events are reported in VAERS, officials follow up with the person reporting the event to obtain more information and medical records. To date, the CDC has identified nine deaths associated with rare blood clots that were caused by the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccine. Currently, 221.5 million people in the U.S. are fully vaccinated. The rifle death data was taken from the FBI’s annual Crime in the United States report in 2020. According to a table showing murder circumstances by weapon, at least 454 homicides in the U.S. in 2020 involved rifles. However, that dataset also shows that nearly 5,000 additional murders involved guns that were not classified by type. It is possible some of those involved rifles. The table lists 13,620 total 2020 gun deaths, when all types of firearms are counted. The FBI’s Crime in the United States report is also limited because it doesn’t include data from every law enforcement agency in the country. Participation in the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting program, which makes up the report, is voluntary.

Posts distort data on Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and pregnancy
CLAIM: A Pfizer document reveals that 82%-97% of pregnant women who received the company’s COVID-19 vaccine “lost their babies.”
THE FACTS: The flawed calculation misrepresents a narrow subset of data from a Pfizer database of adverse events recorded during the first two months of the vaccine rollout. Some social media users shared screenshots of headlines from pro-life blogs that made the false claim. “Shocking Pfizer Document Reveals 82% of Vaccinated Pregnant Women Suffered Miscarriages,” read one. “Court Ordered Release Of Pfizer Document Reveals 82% – 97% Of Vaccinated Pregnant Women Lost Their Babies,” said another. The blog posts, written by the same author and shared on several sites, make the misleading calculation based on an April 2021 document that a group called Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency says Pfizer submitted to the FDA and released to them through a Freedom of Information Act request. The FDA has not responded to multiple requests for comment. The document compiled adverse event reports from Dec. 1, 2020, through Feb. 28, 2021, across 63 countries. Anyone could report to the registry, and it contained reports submitted directly to Pfizer, those reported by federal health authorities, cases published in medical literature and clinical studies. The data described 270 reported vaccinated pregnancies. No outcome was recorded for 238 of those pregnancies. Details on adverse events or other outcomes were recorded for 34 pregnancies. Of this group, 28 women reported either the loss of a fetus or a neonatal death. Five others reported “outcome pending,” and one reported “normal outcome.” To come up with its high percentages, the blog divided the 28 cases of fetal or neonatal loss by the 34 cases that listed outcomes. This yielded the 82% figure. Then, the blog factored in a calculation that assumed without evidence that the five pending cases also resulted in fetal losses, which would bring the total losses to 33. Thirty-three was then divided by 34 to yield 97%. “This takes data from the Pfizer document completely out of context,” said Dr. Laura Morris, co-chair of the University of Missouri health care system’s COVID-19 and influenza vaccine committee. The document does not give the total number of vaccinated pregnant women, so the overall rate of specific adverse events cannot be determined, she said. Experts say the online posts’ interpretations paint a false picture of the vaccine’s effects, and fail to account for important factors, including patient reporting bias, which reflects that women who have experienced an adverse pregnancy event would be more likely to report to the registry, regardless of whether or not the vaccine was linked to the event. “We have no evidence that the vaccine in any way would interrupt a pregnancy or cause this,” said Dr. Elyse Kharbanda, executive director of research at the Minnesota-based HealthPartners Institute. “If we saw a difference in rates following vaccination versus without vaccination, that would be what we call a signal and need more investigation. But bigger studies that have been done more vigorously haven’t shown a signal.” Those studies include one that she authored, which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2021 and found that COVID-19 vaccine exposure did not increase the odds of spontaneous abortion — pregnancy loss before 20 weeks. Experts and health officials say there is no medical proof that the adverse events reported to Pfizer are linked to the vaccine, and the vaccine is safe and effective for pregnant women and fetuses. Representatives for Pfizer said the company doesn't comment on unverified reports.

Tweet distorts health care for trans children
CLAIM: Transgender children as young as 5 years old are being given hormones to transition.
THE FACTS: Experts say young transgender children who haven’t reached puberty are offered support, not medical interventions. But a widely shared tweet suggested that 5-year-olds are receiving hormone treatments, likening it to children driving cars or smoking. “‘Can I drive your car.’ No you’re 5 ‘Can I have a beer?’ No you’re 5 ‘Can I have a cigarette?’ No you’re 5,” the tweet reads. “‘Can I take hormones and change my gender?’ Of course! You know what’s best.” Experts say that’s a big distortion of standards of care for transgender youth. Medical interventions for transgender youth, including puberty blockers and hormones, aren’t designed to begin before the onset of puberty, as guidance from groups such as the World Professional Association for Transgender Health and American Academy of Pediatrics shows. “Children age 5 are far away from puberty,” said Kellan Baker, executive director of the Whitman-Walker Institute in Washington, D.C., which specializes in LGBTQ health care and research. “The primary intervention for children of that age is support — being told by parents, families, friends, peers, that it’s OK to be who they are and to not be teased, bullied or subjected to coercive ‘therapy’ to try to change something that’s innate as gender identity.” Similarly, Dr. Elyse Pine, a pediatric endocrinologist at Chase Brexton Health Care in Baltimore, said in an email that a 5-year-old transgender child may see a mental health provider who could support social and emotional needs and provide educational materials or referrals to support groups. "A five-year-old may socially transition, which means wearing clothes, having a hairstyle, and using a name/pronoun that matches the child’s identity,” Pine said. When children do show early signs of puberty, children who meet clinical guidelines are first offered medication that temporarily blocks puberty, the AP has reported. This treatment is designed for youth diagnosed with “gender dysphoria” — or distress caused when gender identity doesn’t match a person’s assigned sex — who have been counseled with their families and are mature enough to understand what the regimen entails. After puberty blockers, kids can either go through puberty while still identifying as the opposite sex or choose whether to begin treatment to make their bodies more closely match their gender identity. For those choosing the second option, guidelines say the next step is taking manufactured versions of estrogen or testosterone — hormones that prompt sexual development in puberty. Guidelines recommend starting these when kids are mature enough to make informed medical decisions. That is typically around age 16, and parents’ consent is typically required, Dr. Gina Sequiera, co-director of Seattle Children’s Hospital’s Gender Clinic, previously told the AP. “Masculinizing or feminizing hormones are not appropriate in a five-year-old, because five-year-old children are not supposed to be in puberty,” Pine said. “If a 16-year-old individual is ready to take gender affirming hormone therapy, such as estrogen or testosterone, they will be concordant with their peers, who are nearly all experiencing pubertal hormones.”

Posts about high gas prices falsely attributed to BP executive
CLAIM: An executive with the energy company BP named Brice Cromwell wrote a post arguing that high gas prices in the U.S are due to excessive imports of foreign oil and insufficient domestic oil production.
THE FACTS: There is no such executive at BP and the statement did not come from the company, a spokesperson for BP confirmed. Posts copying and pasting a statement attributed to a “BP Oil Executive” named “Brice Cromwell,” and claiming that high gas prices are caused by an overreliance on foreign oil, have circulated widely on social media in recent days. “The prices are high because the people who run our country have decided to import oil from another country instead of using our very own American made product,” the supposed statement reads. But nobody named Brice Cromwell works for BP and the post is not from the company, a spokesperson told the AP. “We can confirm we do not currently have an employee with that name and this text did not come from bp,” Megan Baldino, a spokesperson for BP, wrote in an email. It is unclear who wrote the original text. Searches show it appeared in Facebook posts as early as March, but the versions at that time were not attributed to an author. Experts argue that soaring gas prices are due to various factors in the global energy market, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February. Jonathan Elkind, a fellow and senior research scholar at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy, described the theory that U.S. gas prices are high due to reliance on foreign oil imports as “economically illiterate.” “The notion that we are producing too little, exporting too little, importing too much, et cetera, is just all wrong on its face,” he said. “From one month to the next, the United States in this period is either the number one or number two producer of crude oil and natural gas in the world.” The recent spike in gas prices stems from “resurgent demand” as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic ebbed, which was made worse by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Joshua Busby, an associate professor of public affairs at the University of Texas at Austin, wrote in an email to the AP. “European countries are starting to delink from importing Russian oil, which means that the available pool of oil is diminished for them, putting pressure on oil prices in the rest of the world,” Busby wrote. European Union leaders agreed on May 30 to ban most Russian oil imports by the end of the year, the AP reported.

GROUNDBREAKING ARTISTIC DIRECTOR MOLLY SMITH WILL RETIRE IN 2023
AFTER 25 YEARS OF REDEFINING AND CELEBRATING AMERICAN THEATER IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL
WASHINGTON , June 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater today announced that Artistic Director Molly Smith has decided to retire in July of 2023. The Arena Stage Board of Trustees will conduct a nationwide search to appoint a new Artistic Director to build on the pioneering legacy of Smith and Arena's Founder Zelda Fichandler.
Smith took the helm of this historic, internationally recognized theater—the first integrated theater in Washington, D.C.—at a time when women artistic directors of leading theaters were few and far between. For 25 years and under her leadership, Arena Stage has produced more than 200 productions, championing the work of countless emerging and established playwrights.
Smith regularly infused new life into classic American musicals such as South Pacific, Anything Goes, and Oklahoma!, while also developing and/or producing multiple Broadway successes, including Tony Award winners Dear Evan Hansen and Next to Normal. In addition, more than 150 new works that originated at Arena, including The Originalist and Destiny of Desire, have been produced around the United States.
"I came to Washington 25 years ago with an important mandate: we needed to focus Arena on American plays, American voices, and American artists," says Smith. "In that process, we mined a rich vein of talent for our stages. It was a bold move that led to our audiences and programming becoming as diverse as America. And I was fortunate to be able to do it with a remarkably talented, fully committed staff who excel at bringing dreams to life."
Smith also drove the design and development of The Mead Center for American Theater—one of the most distinctive buildings in Washington, D.C.—as a home for all American voices, past, present, and future. "With its glass walls around all three theaters and soaring 65' roof, the Mead Center is built for American artists, who I always tell to 'hit the roof' with their performances," said Smith. "In fact, Zelda Fichandler called it the 8th Wonder of the Theater World. Today, our groundbreaking Mead Center contributes to our community long after the stage lights have dimmed, as it continues to drive development on D.C.'s Southwest Waterfront."
Smith's theatrical innovations included showcasing American history through the ambitious Power Plays Initiative which, by 2024, will have commissioned 25 plays over 10 years. Arena's Power Plays include works by Lawrence Wright (Camp David); Eduardo Machado (Celia and Fidel); Aaron Posner (JQA); John Strand (The Originalist); Craig Lucas (Change Agent); Kenneth Lin (Exclusion in the upcoming 2022/23 Season); and Nathan Alan Davis (The High Ground, also in the upcoming 2022/23 Season).
Edgar Dobie, Arena's Executive Producer, has worked with Smith for 13 seasons, and calls their day-to-day balance of ambition and capacity "an amazing run for any partnership, especially when spent with an artist and executive like Molly who knows her heart and mind, and remains a pioneer." He continues, "With her talent and innate instinct for building a legacy worth protecting but also sharing, Molly is nothing short of spectacular."
Decker Anstrom, Chair of Arena's Board of Trustees, proffered a touching salute to Smith: "Molly Smith has built an indelible legacy of excellence, creativity, inclusion, and bold leadership during her remarkable 25 years as Arena Stage's Artistic Director. Arena Stage, our Greater D.C. community and, indeed, all of American theater will be forever the better for what she has accomplished."
Born into a family of actors, Smith's early years in the theater have long since become industry lore. After earning her undergraduate degree at Catholic University and her graduate degree at American University in Washington, D.C., she launched Perseverance Theatre in her hometown of Juneau, Alaska. "At the age of 19, I was crazy enough to think I could start theater in Alaska. At 26, we dragged 50 used theater seats across the country and, by sheer force of will, Perseverance Theatre was born."
"When I think about Molly Smith, these words come to mind: visionary, community builder, artist, provocative, influential, feminist, activist, and leader," said Tony Award-winning playwright, performer, activist, and artist, Eve Ensler. "Arena Stage is a model for American theater in the way it supports writers, actors, and artists and sustained working relationships with them over time. She has built a magnificent community in Washington, D.C. by her bold ideas, diverse programming, and awe-inspiring risks. She imagined a grand new building and the Mead Center for American Theater was born. She will be sorely missed!"
"Molly Smith literally changed my life and the lives of so many others with her brilliant guidance, impeccable wisdom, infectious laughter, and true joy," said theater, television and film artist Charles Randolph-Wright, recipient of Arena's 2022 "American Artist" Award, and co-creator of Arena's upcoming world-premiere musical American Prophet, which will kick off its 2022/23 Season. "Her influence is global, her loyalty is unwavering, and her heart belongs in the Smithsonian for the love she truly has given the world with her exemplary artistry."
Randolph-Wright continued, "The past two years have seen a much-needed reckoning and hopefully a seismic shift culturally, but Molly has been at the forefront of inclusion her entire time at Arena and before. She has always demanded diverse, intriguing, difficult, and important work, specifically American work and voices and, in doing so, she helmed a revolution. She forced us all to become braver and stronger artists. Thank you for seeing, hearing, and loving us, Molly!"
A long-time citizen activist, Smith's deep commitment to the community has touched over a quarter of a million lives through creative programming, including the Voices of Now Festival for young artists, and Camp Arena Stage. "Even during COVID-19, we continued to innovate, making five films. These included May 22, 2020, a time capsule of D.C. during a day in life of 10 people during COVID [sic], and The 51st State, a film about the Black Lives Matter uprising in D.C. and a conversation about D.C. statehood."
Smith's many accolades and honors include being a Creative Advisor to the Sundance Institute Theatre Lab multiple times between 1999 and 2004; named to American University's Alumni Hall of Fame in 2003; named "Washingtonian of the Year" in 2011; and awarded Director of Distinction by The Academy of Arts, Cairo, Egypt, in November 2019. She made her Broadway debut in 2014 with The Velocity of Autumn, where Estelle Parsons was nominated for a Tony Award.
Smith received the Governor's Award for the Arts from the Alaska State Legislature in 1998 and was inducted into the Washington, D.C., Hall of Fame Society in 2018. She holds honorary doctorates from both American and Towson Universities. In addition to her many artistic accomplishments, Smith and her partner Suzanne Blue Star Boy, along with a group of Facebook friends, organized the March on Washington for Gun Control after the Sandy Hook Massacre.

Infowars bankruptcy tossed in deal with Sandy Hook parents
VICTORIA, Texas (AP) — A federal judge in Texas on Friday dismissed the bankruptcy protection case of Infowars and two other companies controlled by Alex Jones, the result of an agreement between lawyers for the conspiracy theorist and parents of some of the children slain in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez approved the deal after a brief court hearing. The judge’s action allows the parents’ defamation lawsuits against Jones to continue in Texas and Connecticut, where trials are pending on how much he should pay families after judges in both states found Jones and his companies liable for damages.
The families’ lawsuits say they have been subjected to harassment and death threats from Jones’ followers because of the hoax conspiracy. Jones, based in Austin, Texas, has since said he believes the shooting did occur.
Relatives of eight of the 20 first graders and six educators killed in the massacre and an FBI agent who responded to the school in Newtown, Connecticut, are suing Jones and Free Speech Systems.
Infowars, Prison Planet TV and IW Health consented to dismissing the bankruptcy case last week after the families agreed to drop the three companies from their defamation lawsuits. Those lawsuits will continue against Jones himself and his largest moneymaking company, Free Speech Systems.
The families and the U.S. trustee’s office — a Justice Department agency that oversees bankruptcy cases — had questioned the legitimacy of the three companies’ bankruptcy filing and sought to throw out the case, saying it was only a tactic to delay the lawsuits. Jones’ lawyers denied the allegations.

U.S. ditches negative Covid test for international visitors
The White House said that the CDC still may bring back the requirement depending on rising Covid-19 cases.
The Biden administration on Friday said it will lift pre-departure testing requirements for all travelers coming into the United States from overseas, removing as of midnight on Sunday one of the last Covid-19 travel restrictions still in place in America.
The CDC decided “based on the science and data” that it was time to lift the restriction, a senior administration official told POLITICO on Friday. “The CDC will do a reassessment of this decision in 90 days, and as with other policies, CDC will continue to evaluate it on an ongoing basis,” the official said.
The airline and travel industry have been pressing for some time for the restrictions to be lifted, saying it’s discouraging air travel at a time when passengers are showing increasing interest in taking to the skies.
The Omicron variant surge propelled the Biden administration in November to tighten Covid restrictions for people flying into the United States, requiring a negative Covid test just one day prior to travel. Depending on Covid-19 subvariants, the predeparture testing rule could come back, the official said.
“If there is a need to reinstate a pre-departure testing requirement — including due to a new, concerning variant — CDC will not hesitate to act.”
Leaders from Airlines for America — which represents major air carriers — and the U.S. Travel Association last month met with White House officials to again ask the administration to scrap the testing requirement, arguing that Covid cases are subsiding worldwide. In addition, they argued that air travel shouldn’t be singled out when other mass gatherings have no such restriction.
Furthermore, they said, the U.S. does not require testing for travelers crossing a land border to get in, and the federal government doesn’t require a negative Covid test to travel domestically. According to an analysis from Morning Consult, 39 percent of Americans have said the testing requirements make them less willing to travel internationally, said Lindsey Roeschke, Morning Consult’s travel and hospitality analyst.
Tori Emerson Barnes, U.S. Travel’s executive vice president of public affairs and policy, told the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Tourism, Trade, and Export Promotion on Tuesday the association estimates that “9 billion in travel spending could happen this year” should the U.S. leave pre-departure testing behind “right now.”
“So it really is important that we do that,” she said.
The public health sector also seems on board with the decision. Scott Becker, CEO at the Association of Public Health Laboratories, cheered the decision, saying “I was never convinced it was adding any real protection,” and that overseas “my experience was that it seems to be ‘pay to play’ for a negative test.”
And Scott Whitaker, the CEO of health technology trade group AdvaMed, said “from a public health perspective it makes sense.”
“From a development and manufacturing standpoint we remain focused on working with the federal government and private customers to ensure we understand demand so we can meet the need. And It remains critical that the Administration lead the efforts on both surveillance and communication to ensure we can do what is necessary to meet the public health need for tests.”
The senior administration official on Friday said the CDC still recommends testing prior to air travel of “any kind.”
“We will be working with the airlines and other partners to ensure a smooth transition,” the official said.

Cuisinart Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker, Pink | $70
We’re still weeks away from the official dawn of summer, and it’s already hot as blazes. Why would you get dressed up for a cold snack, only to melt in the heat as your dessert melts before your eyes? Or worse, pay an overworked delivery person to bring it to you as fast as they can, just for it to arrive weird and soupy? You could have it so much better, y’all. The Cuisinart Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker is a game-changer. I literally have it, and it could not be easier to use. It comes with a booklet of basic recipes and all the tools you need to get started! The only thing you really have to do, besides press *one* button on the base, is remember to chill the bowl 24 hours in advance of “cooking.” But hey, it’s hot out. You’re always going to want ice cream tomorrow. (FYI, it’s not only offered in pink, but this is the exact the one I have, so I’m recommending it.)

A dad-of-seven who collided with a car during a 'hit-and-run' has tragically died in hospital. His death comes three-weeks after the incident in Birmingham.
West Midlands Police said Thomas Maguire, 30, was on a motorbike which was hit by a Ford Focus, in Kings Road, Kingstanding, in the early hours of Wednesday, May 19. Sadly, he died in hospital yesterday, Thursday, June 9.
Five people - aged between 15 and 34 - were initially arrested on suspicion of aggravated vehicle taking and remain on police bail. Police further arrested a 41-year-old man and two women, aged 40 and 38, on suspicion of attempted murder. They have been released on bail pending further inquiries.
Thomas' family have paid tribute and said he will be forever "loved and missed". In a tribute, released via the police, they said: “In loving memory of Thomas Maguire, you will be loved and missed by your fiancée, your seven boys, mom, brother and the rest of the family. Together forever Maguire.”

PHILADELPHIA, June 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Berger Montague is investigating securities fraud allegations on behalf of investors who purchased the securities Dentsply Sirona, Inc. ("Dentsply" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: XRAY) between June 9, 2021 and May 9, 2022 (the "Class Period").
If you purchased the securities of Dentsply during the Class Period, would like to discuss Berger Montague's investigation, or have questions concerning your rights or interests, please contact attorneys Andrew Abramowitz at aabramowitz@bm.net or (215) 875-3015, or Michael Dell'Angelo at mdellangelo@bm.net or (215) 875-3080 or visit: https://investigations.bergermontague.com/dentsply-sirona/
Whistleblowers: Anyone with non-public information regarding Dentsply is encouraged to confidentially assist Berger Montague's investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under this program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to thirty percent (30%) of recoveries obtained by the SEC. For more information, contact us.
Dentsply is a dental equipment manufacturer that produces a wide array of dental supplies, ranging from anesthetics, plaque and gum disease prevention, tooth polishers, and artificial teeth.
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants orchestrated a scheme to inflate the Company's revenue and earnings by manipulating its accounting for a distributor rebate program in order for senior executives to be eligible for significant cash and stock-based incentive compensation.
The truth about Dentsply's misconduct was revealed through a series of disclosures, beginning on April 19, 2022, when Dentsply announced the sudden termination of its CEO.
On May 10, 2022, Dentsply announced that, following reports from several whistleblowers, the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors had commenced an internal investigation regarding certain financial reporting matters, including "the Company's use of incentives to sell products to distributors in the third and fourth quarter of 2021" and whether "certain former and current members of senior management directed the Company's use of these incentives and other actions to achieve executive compensation targets in 2021."
As a result of these disclosures, Dentsply's share price declined significantly and investors suffered heavy losses.
Berger Montague, with offices in Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Washington, D.C., and San Diego, has been a pioneer in securities class action litigation since its founding in 1970. Berger Montague has represented individual and institutional investors for over five decades and serves as lead counsel in courts throughout the United States.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — All of Indiana’s more than 600 political subdivisions have agreed to take part in a $507 million statewide settlement with opioid makers and distributors, Indiana’s attorney general’s office said.
The office said Wednesday that Indiana’s 648 cities, towns, and counties have joined the settlement, which is part of a roughly $26 billion payout across 46 states by opioid distributors Cardinal Health, McKesson, AmerisourceBergen, and drug manufacturer Johnson & Johnson.
Most of that money is required to be used to fight the opioid crisis, which has been linked to more than 500,000 deaths in the U.S. over the last two decades.
“No amount of money will ever compensate families for the loss of loved ones, but a settlement of this magnitude helps prevent similar types of corporate irresponsibility from ever happening again,” Attorney General Todd Rokita said in a news release.
Several Indiana cities, including Indianapolis, joined the settlement in April after previously opting out of the state’s lawsuits against the companies. Rokita said achieving the participation of all 648 Indiana political subdivisions required overcoming numerous obstacles.
The settlement funds will support local law enforcement efforts, drug task forces, regional treatment hubs, and early intervention and crisis support.
Thirty percent of the settlement funds have “no strings attached” and will be split evenly between local communities and the state.
The other 70% has been designated for opioid abatement efforts in local communities. | https://www.wowo.com/all-indiana-cities-towns-agree-to-take-part-in-opioid-deal/ | 2022-06-10T16:51:34Z | https://www.wowo.com/all-indiana-cities-towns-agree-to-take-part-in-opioid-deal/ | true | 12 |
Starbucks Workers United community members and partners gathered at the entrance of the Starbucks on College Avenue in Ithaca, New York, on June 8 to protest the company's decision to permanently close the store this Friday.
This decision has left workers with less than a week's notice and resulted in them calling for a boycott of other Starbucks stores around the city.
Starbucks' lawyers met twice with the unionized workers of the store to offer them the option of applying to transfer to another location. However, the company would not guarantee the workers' jobs moving forward, leaving them scrambling.
Cornell student Alayna Earl, who is a member of the union, has been working as a barista for two years at the store, which is the closest Starbucks to campus.
Most Cornell students don't have cars, she said, so even if they are transferred to another store, workers who are also students would face the challenge of getting to and from work.
Though unable to attend the protest, Earl sat in on the second bargaining meeting between unionized workers and lawyers on Wednesday. She said the conversation went in circles, with lawyers reiterating that they would not reopen the store anytime soon. Along with not being guaranteed transfers, the lawyers told the workers that they could not guarantee the same hours.
"One thing that we're worried about is if we transfer to a different store that already has a fully staffed team, are we still gonna get the same amount of hours that we've been getting at our old store?" Earl said.
Questions remain as to why the College Avenue store had to close, as Starbucks refused to provide company data on the decision. Starbucks did not respond to NPR's request for comment.
During the Wednesday meeting, Earl said that the reasoning provided by the lawyers didn't resonate with her or the workers.
"They said things like ... our efficiency wasn't up to par, and they wanted to improve the customer and barista experience. But we weren't consulted. They didn't ask whether our store was efficient for us, it was kind of based on Starbucks standards, but then they weren't really going over what the standards entailed," she added.
Earl said that to her, the coffee shop has been integral to Cornell's campus, with customers coming in and out all the time for coffee and to study, which sparked even more confusion among workers regarding its closing.
"A lot of us were confused [as to] why it was closing so suddenly because [the lawyers] said things about us not being efficient, or closing for business needs. But it's the most profitable store in Ithaca because of how close it is to Cornell's campus and because of how many students visit that store each day," Earl said.
Workers speculate that the store's closing is in retaliation for their unionization.
Two months ago, the College Avenue store had achieved a historic victory after it became unionized on the same day as the other two stores in Ithaca, making national headlines as the first city to have all unionized Starbucks stores.
Out of the three stores, the workers at the College Avenue location were the most vocal when it came to demanding what they labeled as fair treatment and a quality work environment. On April 19, they had held a strike due to a broken, overflowing grease trap in the store.
The workers now believe that this, along with their historic unionization, angered Starbucks leaders and provoked them to close the store.
"College Avenue was a pretty vocal store in terms of unionizing. I think that people were having issues with us voicing our concerns and actually speaking up. I think rather than addressing our needs, they closed the store with little to no notice," Earl said.
Though the next steps are still unclear, Earl said that she and others hope to get their old store back and job security. At the least, they hope for fair working conditions and for their voices to be heard. The boycott has received much support not only from local workers, but also from Starbucks unions across the country via social media.
"We do feel supported by other Starbucks workers. I think that all the stores in Ithaca have a tight-knit community, and we are willing to support each other if we notice that something isn't being done correctly, or being done fairly," Earl said.

Infowars bankruptcy tossed in deal with Sandy Hook parents
VICTORIA, Texas (AP) — A federal judge in Texas on Friday dismissed the bankruptcy protection case of Infowars and two other companies controlled by Alex Jones, the result of an agreement between lawyers for the conspiracy theorist and parents of some of the children slain in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez approved the deal after a brief court hearing. The judge’s action allows the parents’ defamation lawsuits against Jones to continue in Texas and Connecticut, where trials are pending on how much he should pay families after judges in both states found Jones and his companies liable for damages.
The families’ lawsuits say they have been subjected to harassment and death threats from Jones’ followers because of the hoax conspiracy. Jones, based in Austin, Texas, has since said he believes the shooting did occur.
Relatives of eight of the 20 first graders and six educators killed in the massacre and an FBI agent who responded to the school in Newtown, Connecticut, are suing Jones and Free Speech Systems.
Infowars, Prison Planet TV and IW Health consented to dismissing the bankruptcy case last week after the families agreed to drop the three companies from their defamation lawsuits. Those lawsuits will continue against Jones himself and his largest moneymaking company, Free Speech Systems.
The families and the U.S. trustee’s office — a Justice Department agency that oversees bankruptcy cases — had questioned the legitimacy of the three companies’ bankruptcy filing and sought to throw out the case, saying it was only a tactic to delay the lawsuits. Jones’ lawyers denied the allegations.

Stott went 4-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and three runs in Wednesday's 10-0 win over the Brewers. Stott launched a two-run homer off Adrian Houser in the top of the third before later adding a double, two singles and scoring two more runs. The home run was his third of the season, all of which have come in the last five games. Since the beginning of June, Stott has gone 9-for-23 with three long balls, eight RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base over six contests. With Johan Camargo (knee) on the 10-day injured list, Stott will continue to have a shot to showcase his skills on a daily basis. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2629927694017/orioles-trey-mancini-clubs-sixth-homer | 2022-06-10T16:57:16Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2629927694017/orioles-trey-mancini-clubs-sixth-homer | false | null |
There’s been no sign of a respite in selling pressure today coming to the end of a negative week as investors become increasingly concerned about the effects sticky inflation is expected to have on margins, consumer confidence, as well as company earnings.
Europe
The early optimism over the reopening of the Chinese economy in the early part of the week, seems a long time ago now, having given way to renewed gloom as authorities in Shanghai reimpose new lockdowns and restrictions, and US inflation hits a new 40 year high of 8.6%.
Basic resources and energy sectors are acting as the biggest drag on concerns over lower demand, though the resilience in the oil price belies some of that.
Anglo American, Glencore and Rio Tinto are all contributing sizeable points declines, while modest weakness in oil prices is weighing on Shell and BP.
There hasn’t been much in terms of positivity, however GSK shares are outperforming after announcing positive phase 3 results for its RSV vaccine candidate, for older adults. The vaccine has been designed to deal with respiratory tract infections in older adults who may be immuno-compromised.
Just Eat shares are one of the better performers today on reports that private equity company Apollo Global could be interested in acquiring its US GrubHub business. Back in April Just Eat said it was considering offloading the GrubHub business, less than a year after completing the deal for the price tag of £5.8bn.
Last month the shares hit 5-year lows and are down over 80% from their October 2020 peaks as higher costs and more competition eat into its margins. In Q1 the US business saw a 5% decline slump in orders, however it’s not been unique in that with southern European and ANZ region seeing a 4% decline, and UK and Ireland seeing no change. The reality is any purchaser won’t be paying anywhere close to what Just Eat paid for the business which means the prospect of a big write down.
US
US markets closed sharply lower yesterday, spooked by concerns that today’s May CPI report may well prove to be stickier than predicted, which in turn could mean the Fed is much more aggressive when it comes to normalising monetary policy.
Today’s CPI report confirmed for May those fears as headline inflation jumped to a 41-year high, coming in at 8.6% and making it all the more likely that we will see 50bps rate hikes at the next three Fed rate meetings. Any thoughts that we might see a pause in September now appears a remote prospect, with US markets opening sharply lower, even after yesterday’s big declines.
US bond markets saw US 2 year and 5-year yields surge, flattening the yield curve further with the 5-year yield, moving sharply above the 10-year yield, and underscoring concerns that a US recession could be on the way, especially given that Michigan consumer confidence slumped to a record low in data released this afternoon.
On the earnings front DocuSign shares have slumped sharply after profits in Q1 came in lower than expected, prompting broker downgrades in the process. Revenues were better than expected at $588m, however profits missed expectations, coming in short at $0.38c a share. The company also fell short on guidance downgrading its Q2 forecasts for billings, as well as for the rest of the year.
Elsewhere today’s weakness is broad based with consumer discretionary being hit the hardest. Online streamers Netflix and Roblox have been hit hard after being downgraded by Goldman Sachs. eBay is also lower for the same reason.
FX
The US dollar has been the best performer this week and was given an added kick higher this afternoon after today’s red hot US CPI number, which saw headline inflation hit its highest level since November 1981, as traders ramped up rate hike expectations for this year.
The Swiss franc is amongst the worst performers this week, ahead of next week’s Swiss National Bank rate meeting, where they could use the recent pivot by the ECB as an excuse to exercise a pivot of its own.
The Japanese yen is clawing back some ground after the Ministry of Finance, along with Bank of Japan, officials expressed concern about the fall in the currency.
Putting to one side the reason that yen is declining is because Japan wants it to, the Bank of Japan was fairly explicit at its last meeting when it said it expects “short-term and long-term policy rates to remain at their present, or lower levels”. When other central banks are looking at raising rates quite sharply what did they expect to happen? The decline in the Japanese yen is on them and they are only now trying to put the genie back in the bottle. Perhaps next week’s Bank of Japan central bank meeting will prompt a change of tone?
Commodities
Despite the prospect of new restrictions in China, crude oil prices are showing little sign of slowing, although today’s hot CPI number has seen prices slip back as concerns grow over possible demand destruction. The surge in the US dollar today has also served to act as a cap on prices.
This disappointment over the speed over a China reopening has seen copper prices fall back sharply this week, wiping out most of the gains of last week.
Higher bond yields and a stronger US dollar is also weighing on gold prices which have also slipped back to the lows seen last week.

Which silicone spatula is best?
The term spatula refers to two distinct kitchen tools. The first version is a long-handled scraper used for mixing, folding and removing the remnants of batters and doughs from a bowl, while the second is has a flat head used to flip pancakes, burgers and other flat items as they cook. Every well-stocked kitchen needs at least one of each, but it can be challenging to find a silicone spatula that is up for everything that is thrown its way.
For superior performance, flexible sizes and versatile uses, the Di Oro Seamless Series Silicone Spatula Set is a good choice.
What to know before you buy a silicone spatula
Flipper or scraper?
When you need a spatula, what are you using it for?
- Flippers: Flipper silicone spatulas are also referred to as turners and feature a long handle attached to a flat, wide head. This head might be solid, or it sometimes has slots or holes in it. If you are looking for something to help flip fried eggs, burgers on the grill or other fried sandwiches, this is what you want.
- Scraper: A scraping spatula has a smaller solid head that can be curved with a slight bowl, rounded and narrow or flat. These are best for stirring, folding or scraping batters and sticky or liquid doughs.
Size
The size of your silicone spatula matters, especially if you are looking for a scraper. A full-sized spatula would not fit to scrape out the remainder of pesto in a tiny jar, but a small spatula would be messy when folding egg whites into cake batter.
Likewise, the length of the handle matters, too. Short handles offer more control, but longer ones can stir and fold deep batches of cake.
Number of silicone spatulas
The perfect number of silicone spatulas to have varies depending on how often you cook and which culinary tasks you perform. Veteran bakers accumulate a wide variety of sizes and shapes to accommodate everything from delicate lace cookie batters to stiff bread doughs.
In general, when it comes to scraping spatulas, three is a good number — small, medium and large. This expands your cooking repertoire and makes it easy to work without constantly having to stop and wash your tools.
What to look for in a quality silicone spatula
Chemical-free
Everything that touches your food should be free from any kind of chemicals. This includes:
- Bisphenol A (BPA)
- Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
- Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)
To be sure, look for silicone spatulas labeled food-grade or FDA-approved.
Safe at high heat
Although scrapers are not likely to be used above room temperature, any silicone flippers that are used on the stove or grill need to be able to stand the heat — or get out of the kitchen. At a minimum, your silicone flipper should be safe at 400 degrees, but 600 degrees or more is optimal.
Different colors
Black or white are classic choices for silicone spatulas, but if you’d like a little more color in your life, look for a set that reflects the rainbow.
Stainless steel core
A stainless steel core at the center of your spatula’s handle has less to do with its performance in the kitchen and more to do with its durability. Stainless steel gives this tool more strength so you can really put some muscle into mixing that dough without risking the spatula snapping in half.
How much you can expect to spend on a silicone spatula
The price varies depending on the durability of the materials and whether or not you purchase spatulas in a set. Expect to spend $4-$20.
Silicone spatula FAQ
Can you wash spatulas in the dishwasher?
A. While most silicone spatulas are dishwasher safe, to preserve their longevity and prevent cracking or water spots, the best solution is hand-washing. Use hot water and mild detergent and scrub with a plastic sponge. The nonstick nature of silicone means they are easy to clean by hand, too.
Are there different types of scraping and flipping spatulas?
A. Yes. Spatulas are further divided into different types, including:
- Offset spatula: This angled, thin blade is usually metal and is best for frosting cakes.
- Flat frosting spatula: Similar to the offset spatula, the flat frosting spatula features a blade that is in line with the handle.
- Fish spatula: The head is thinner, longer and includes slats for flipping delicate fish.
- Spoonula: This hybrid kitchen tool has a deeper bowl that can be used to more efficiently stir food.

A return to a history we'll want to remember
McMINNVILLE — As the world emerges from a historic pandemic, the Yamhill Valley Heritage Center is slowly returning to normal operations and beginning to offer events that will remind us of the positive aspects of history.
Over the course of four weeks, the facility at 11275 S.W. Durham Lane will hold a trio of events sure to delight those with a penchant for history. First off is a June 25 event called Hay Day/Play Day where attendees can witness live haying demonstrations and participate in old-fashioned games like sack races, three-legged races and hoop-rolling competitions. There are kids' activities to boot, as well as antique equipment displays and live music from 1:30 to 3 p.m. by the Second Winds Community Band.
"A big part of harvesting season back in the early 1900s was collaboration with neighbors and often the very young children would gather and play games together while the adults and older siblings worked," Moira Cleary, YVHC programs and events manager for the Yamhill County Historical Society, said a release. "Games such as hoop rolling, spoon races and catch were very popular. We decided to add the games aspect to our Hay Day event this year to truly capture what hay harvesting season in the early 1900s was like."
The event is slated for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., admission is $5 per vehicle and more information is available at 503-472-2842.
On July 9, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the center will host the Artisans Outdoor Market, which will feature handcrafted items, art, jewelry, hot dogs, root beer floats, live music from 1 to 3 p.m., and more. Admission is free. Vendors can call 503-434-2189 for more information. For general information, call 503-434-0490 or email events@yamhillcountyhistory.org.
On July 19 the YVHC will host "Secrets of the Past," where local historians Kory Knutz and Barbara Mitchell will speak on 'Tales of the Flying M & Travels on the Trask River Road' from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Trask River Wagon Toll Road was the primary way to travel to Tillamook on the Oregon coast.
"Starting in the town of Yamhill, the 'road' climbed the steep mountains of the coast range to the tiny town of Fairdale (near today's Flying M Ranch), where travelers rested their heads for the night before embarking on the steep, 10-hour descent to the Trask River and into Tillamook proper," Cleary said. "Come here Barbara Mitchell and Kory Knutz share stories of the history of this road, the Flying M Ranch and the connection between Yamhill and the coast at the turn of the last century.
The program is free for historical society members; $5 for guest.

2023: Why I left APC – Senate Leader, Yahaya Abdullahi
The Senate Leader, Yahaya Abdullahi, said on Friday that he left the All Progressives Congress (APC) due to “injustice” in the Kebbi State chapter of the party.
Abdullahi, representing Kebbi North, had on Wednesday joined the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
The lawmaker told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that “it was a case of serial denial of rights”.
He said: “Yes, I have left the APC due to injustice by the Kebbi State Governor.
“It is not just injustice; it’s a serial denial of rights and undemocratic rights which we reported to the party for more than 11 months.
“Nobody did anything about the manner the governor handles the party affairs in the state; imposing candidates and doing whatever he wants.
Abdullahi added that APC national headquarters failed to bring order.
NAN gathered that Abdullahi’s defection may not be unconnected to his loss of the APC governorship ticket on May 26 2022.
Abdullahi got no vote while the National President of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Dr Nasiru Idris, who emerged the party’s governorship candidate had 1, 055 votes.
But, reacting, Yahaya Sarki, Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to Kebbi State Governor, described the allegations by the Senate Leader as untrue.
He said the governor is a loyal party member that has worked assiduously to unite the party since he came into power in 2015. | https://dailypost.ng/2022/06/10/2023-why-i-left-apc-senate-leader-yahaya-abdullahi/ | 2022-06-10T17:00:40Z | https://dailypost.ng/2022/06/10/2023-why-i-left-apc-senate-leader-yahaya-abdullahi/ | true | 1 |

B.C. Lions quarterback Nathan Rourke knows that taking over the starter spot isn’t going to be easy.
Not only is the 24-year-old Ohio product under the spotlight as a rare Canadian QB, he’s also stepping into a role vacated by the man who led the league in passing last season.
Michael Reilly retired in January after 11 CFL seasons, including a 2021 campaign where he tallied 3,283 passing yards. His departure means Rourke will take over the No. 1 position when B.C. kicks off its 2022 campaign at home against the Edmonton Elks on June 11.
“They’re big shoes to fill,” Rourke said at Lions’ training camp in Kamloops, B.C., last month.
“And this is an offence that requires a good amount of direction from the quarterback and leadership in terms of just being able to be cool back there and make plays and get the ball to our stars. So it’s been fun so far and there’s a long way to go still.”
Rourke, who is from Victoria, made two starts and passed for a total of 754 yards and three touchdowns in his rookie campaign last season.
Despite Reilly’s big numbers and Rourke’s breakout, the Lions finished the COVID-condensed campaign with a 5-9 record and failed to make the playoffs for a second year in a row.
With some new additions and familiar faces, head coach/co-general manager Rick Campbell is confident heading into a new year.
“Everybody says they’re optimistic at the beginning of the year because no one’s lost yet but there’s a lot of reasons for us,” he said. “I think we improved, improved ourselves through the draft and free agency and I think the continuity is going to help us out.
“We’re all a year older and the coaches know the players and the players know the coaches and I’m hoping that pays off for us.”
Campbell bolstered his roster with a number of moves in free agency. He inked all-star defensive back Delvin Breaux Sr., and defensive lineman Steven Richardson, who won a Grey Cup with the Blue Bombers last season. He also brought back several former Lions, including defensive lineman David Menard (Alouettes), defensive back Loucheiz Purifoy (Roughriders), linebacker Micah Awe (Redblacks) and kicker Sean Whyte (Elks).
The new additions seemed to be fitting in easily early in training camp, particularly on defence.
Weathering a strike before hitting the field brought the group together, said veteran defensive back T.J. Lee.
“We’ve grown to be pretty close,” said Lee, who’s heading into his eighth season with the Lions. “We had the strike days to kind of unite personally, and talk about personal issues and talk about family talk about what they’re doing in the off-season. We have a lot of veteran presence and leadership.”
A healthy receiving corps will also be a boon for B.C.
The team led the CFL in passing yards (4,037) last season and had two of the top five receivers in the league, including Lucky Whitehead, who was fourth with 932 yards despite missing two games with two broken fingers.
With his hand healed, Whitehead returned to Vancouver ahead of training camp to get some work in with Rourke. The extra reps helped the duo develop their connection, the receiver said.
“He knows he’s got a guy in myself that he can count on,” he said.
Wide receiver Bryan Burnham also comes back in form after suffering a broken hand last season. Despite the injury, he played all 14 games, amassing 965 yards — the second most in the league — and five touchdowns.
Heading into his eighth season with the Lions, Burnham is looking to grow from where the team left off last year.
“There’s a lot of continuity and a lot of chemistry that we’re able to build off of whereas last year we were trying to build that chemistry and now we can go into camp with that chemistry and just continue to get better,” he said.
Building chemistry with Rourke has been a smooth process, he added, in part because of how hard the young quarterback works.
“He’s right there. He’s on his way to being a great quarterback. And he puts in the work,” Burnham said while watching Rourke get some solo work in after a long double practice early in training camp.
Rourke says he’s constantly putting in extra work to hone his game. That’s how it goes in professional sports, he said, especially when you’re the starter.
“There’s always someone looking to replace you and the guys that we have in the quarterback room are talented guys. And so you’ve got to keep stepping it up,” Rourke said.
“I think the way I look at it is that I owe the rest of the 11 guys in the huddle to give them my best and be prepared. And if I’m not, then I’m selling them short.”

Ferrari is heading back to Le Mans to compete in the Hypercar class. The Italian automaker announced its return in February 2021, but it’s only now that we are getting our first glimpse at the new race car. Ferrari has released a lone teaser image that reveals very little of the vehicle.
The image shows a pair of thin lighting elements flanking a strip of red that sits between a yellow Ferrari badge and a silver prancing horse. Tossing the photo into Photoshop and tweaking the levels didn’t lead to any revelations – Ferrari knows how to tease a vehicle. We don’t know much about Ferrari’s new race car, but the all-wheel-drive racer will have a hybrid powertrain setup.
Ferrari says that the new hypercar will begin its first development tests in the coming weeks as it preps to enter the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2023. The marquee will return to the famous track in just over a year, the first time in 50 years. Ferrari’s last outing in 1973 ended on June 10, which is today. Testing should begin this July, and it won’t be the only future hypercar getting ready for next year’s race.
Several automakers are preparing to field cars in the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans. The new Ferrari LMH will face off against cars like the Cadillac GTP Hypercar, which announced its LMDh-class car yesterday. It pairs a 5.5-liter dual-overhead-cam V8 with a hybrid system. Lamborghini, Acura, and BMW are also preparing cars.
Porsche is prepping its own entry, and it’s so far into development that we have spotted it testing on the track. The German brand teased the car in late 2020, but there hasn’t been an official reveal just yet. Porsche’s LMDh race car reportedly pairs a twin-turbo V8 with a hybrid component.
Ferrari didn’t say when we could see its race car debut, but if testing is going to start in a few weeks, we might catch a glimpse of it before Ferrari wants us to. We’re excited for Ferrari to make its return to racing and even more so to see how the field competes.

Today, Challenging Heights has released a report that show that approximately 60% of all children living in the fishing communities along Ghana’s Lake Volta are child labourers. The report which is titled “Children Hidden in Plain Sight: A report on the State of Child Labour in the Fishing Industry of Lake Volta (Ghana)”, was released to coincide with the World Day Against Child Labour, 2022.
The World Day Against Child Labour, was instituted by the International Labour Organization (ILO), and is commemorated on the 12th of June every year, to draw the world’s attention to the plight of children who are going through abused labour situations.
The theme for this year’s World Day Against Child is “Universal Social Protection To End Child Labour”.
The report interviewed 2999 children, made up of 1732 males, and 1250 females. The study took place in five districts of the Lake Volta areas, namely Krachie East and West Municipalities in the Oti Region, Kpando District in the Volta Region, Pru District in the Bono East Region, and Central Gonja District in the Savannah Region. Overall, the research took three months, between March and May, 2022, to complete.
The children interviewed were divided into groups, between 5 to 9 years; between 10 to 14 years; and 15-17 years; in line with ILO and UNICEF categorizations.
In the first age group between 5 and 9 years, 47% were in child labour. In the second group between 10 to 14 years, 69% were in child labour. And in the third group, between 15 and 17, 77% of them were in child labour.
This number is significantly higher than the numbers available from previous studies.
There are also differences among male and female child labourers when it comes to the tasks they had to do. Among male child labourers, tasks such as paddling canoes (46%), scooping water from the boat (32%), casting (35%) and pulling nets (33%) were especially high, whereas female child labourers had higher percentages when it comes to fetching firewood (34%), cooking for the company (23%) or fish processing (35%).
Our study found that 61% of the child labourers were male and 39% were females. This stands in contrast with numbers provided by the ILO, which indicated that 87% of the child labourers in Ghana’s fisheries were boys, and the study by the IJM which claims that 99.6% of the child labourers were boys.
One possibility for the new data in our study is that not only child labourers on the lake were interviewed but also children who normally do not work so much in public. With the different categories of labour such as cooking and fish processing, which might happen mostly behind closed doors, we saw that more female children are in child labour than have been previously assumed.
The tasks also differ when comparing different age groups. Among the 5 to 9-year-old child labourers, tasks such as scooping water (32%), fish processing (30%) and farming (42%) are especially high while other tasks that come with more responsibility and danger such as removing trapped nets (8%), driving outboard motors (8%), diving (14%) and mending nets (9%) are comparatively low.
This changes with the age group of 10- to 14-year-old child labourers, who predominantly paddle canoes (37%), cast nets (30%) and pull them back (29%), farm (36%) or fetch firewood (28%). The oldest age group of 15 to 17 year old children have the roles that require the most responsibility and which are more dangerous than others. They are often paddling canoes (42%), pull nets (32%) and process fish (30%) but also the most dangerous tasks such as diving (15%) or removing trapped nets (17%) are considerably carried out more often by this age group than by others.
In this study, a child counted as a child labourer when he or she was engaged in hazardous tasks – this allowed us to capture child labour among all age groups, since, as we have seen before by ILO standards, hazardous work always counts as child labour, no matter the weekly working hours. Children that did work that endangered their physical or mental well-being such as working on the lake without security and doing work such as paddling, diving or removing trapped nets all counted as child labourers in this study. Also, work such as fish processing is dangerous for the children because it exposes them to great amounts of smoke for long hours as well as using sharp objects (knives).
Among the 1794 children characterized as child labourers, 1389 (77%) said that they were beaten and 730 (41%) showed signs of abuse.
As has been indicated in the existing literature, child labour often deprives children of formal education. Among all children (2999) interviewed for this study, 1696 (57%) were in school, whereas the number of children in school among child labourers (1794) was 779 (43%). Among the non-child labourers interviewed (1205), 917 (76%) were in school. These numbers can be compared with the nation-wide enrollment rates that the UNESCO has published. In 2020, the primary school enrollment rate was at 82.4% and the secondary school enrollment rate at 62%. The numbers confirm that the widespread child labour on Lake Volta is responsible for a much lower school enrollment rate when compared to nation-wide data.
We believe that the increased numbers of child labour could be connected to the impacts of COVID-19, as both the ILO and UNICEF indicated that the global pandemic resulted in higher numbers of child labourers. In a UNICEF article published in June 2021, the organization warned that 9 million additional children were at risk of becoming child labourers because of the pandemic. This comes in addition to already increasing numbers of child labour in sub-Saharan Africa due to “population growth, recurrent crises, extreme poverty, and inadequate social protection measures” that caused 16.6 million additional children ending up in child labour in the four preceding years.
- One of the key policy recommendations has to be connected to public education in general and education of the parents in the most affected regions of the country in particular – in both the source and destination communities.
- There is urgent need for affected children to be removed from child labour situations, and place them in safe spaces such as schools, vocational and skills education, and any other developmental programs that will guarantee their safety, and their future.
- Since poverty – and COVID-19 made the economic situation of most households worse – is a main cause of child labour, policies should aim at making the economic situations for the families better.
- The laws on child labour, especially the Children’s Act, should be enforced.
- Funding of state agencies, particularly the Department of Social Welfare, the Anti-Trafficking Unit of the Ghana Police Service and the Anti-Human Trafficking Secretariat should be increased to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness in prevention, rescue, rehabilitation of trafficking victims, as well as the prosecution of traffickers. | https://www.modernghana.com/news/1163838/approximately-60-of-children-on-lake-volta-are.html | 2022-06-10T17:11:52Z | https://www.modernghana.com/news/1163838/approximately-60-of-children-on-lake-volta-are.html | false | 5 |
