Huawei India CEO Li, 3 others summoned by Delhi Court in tax case
The court in an order issued Thursday said Huawei obstructed and stifled search operations of authorised officers. Earlier a lookout circular (LOC) was issued against Li and he was prevented from leaving the country on May 1 to attend a business meeting in Thailand on behalf of Huawei India. Huawei challenged the LOC in court.

New Delhi: Top officials of Huawei Telecommunications (India), including CEO Li Xiongwei and three others, were summoned by a Delhi Court based on a complaint filed by the Income Tax Department. The I-T department accused the Chinese electronics giant of withholding information asked of it by tax sleuths in ongoing cases.
The court in an order issued Thursday said the Chinese multinational, under scanner in many countries owing to security concerns, obstructed and stifled search operations of authorised officers.
“The culpable mental state of the accused is to be presumed. There is sufficient material on record to summon the company and four accused for commission of offence punishable under Section 275-B read with Section 278-B of the Income Tax Act,” the court said. The offence is punishable by a maximum of 2 years of imprisonment.
Before passing the order, the court examined the statements and other documents submitted by Huawei officials. The court said it was apparent from the statements and other annexed documents that the company deliberately mislead investigators.
The court order said: “It seems the accused were only trying to somehow confuse the authorised officer in order to deny access to books of account and other documents of the company. Unreasonably long time was also sought by the accused persons for furnishing data and information, which ought to have been readily available with the company,” reported Economic Times.
Other than the CEO, the court issued summons to deputy chief financial officer Sandeep Bhatia, head of tax Amit Duggal and head of transfer pricing Long Cheng.
Earlier a lookout circular (LOC) was issued against Li and he was prevented from leaving the country on May 1 to attend a business meeting in Thailand on behalf of Huawei India. Huawei challenged the LOC in court.
The I-T Department in February carried out search and search operations in the company’s premises in Gurgaon and Karnataka, including Li’s residence.

Muhlenberg Township to host workshop on gift card scams
Jun. 10—The Muhlenberg Township Police Department is hosting a pair of workshops Thursday as part of the township's effort to combat gift-card phone and computer scams that prey on older residents.
The elder gift card fraud workshop is response to a widespread scam that affects numerous victims, especially older people and requires considerable law enforcement resources to investigate, Sgt. Andrew Swoyer said.
"No matter how much we know about it, we still sometimes fall for it because the scams are getting more and more elaborate," he said.
It's such a problem for Muhlenberg police that the township commissioners recently passed an ordinance addressing purchase of "third-party gift cards/prepaid cards" at retail establishments within the township. The ordinance requires retailers to report to police gift card purchases of $400 or more.
The measure is intended to encourage retailers to flag such purchases as well as give police a heads-up so they can intervene if they feel someone is caught in the web of a scammer, Swoyer said.
In general, perpetrators of gift card scams ask their victims to pay for something by putting money on a gift card such as a Google Play or iTunes card. The victims are asked to provide the numbers on the back of the card to the caller, which is tantamount to wiring money.
Recently, state police reported a Rockland Township woman lost nearly $115,000 in a gift card scam after receiving a bogus alert on her computer that she needed to call a purported technician because her computer profile had been used by drug traffickers.
She repeatedly paid the perpetrators by purchasing gifts cards, investigators said.
Muhlenberg's ordinance requires retailers to make a record of the name, date of birth and address, obtained from a valid driver's license or other legal form of identification, of the buyer. The information is to be supplied to the police department.
Police representatives will be discussing the ordinance as well as providing tips on how to recognize the scam, stop it and where to report it if a suspected scam has taken place
Two sessions are scheduled Thursday, 1 p.m. and 6 p.m., at the township building, 210 George St. Some retailers will be participating, Swoyer said.
Complimentary refreshments will be provided. | https://news.yahoo.com/muhlenberg-township-host-workshop-gift-035800032.html | 2022-06-11T04:36:35Z | https://news.yahoo.com/muhlenberg-township-host-workshop-gift-035800032.html | false | 2 |
Curry scores 43 to beat Boston, Warriors tie NBA Finals 2-2
Stephen Curry scored 43 points to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 107-97 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday night, sending the series back to San Francisco knotted at two games apiece.
Curry added 10 rebounds and made a pair of baskets during a 10-0 fourth-quarter run that turned a four-point Boston edge into a 100-94 Golden State lead. The Celtics missed six straight shots during that span.
(Video player above: Top Stories from June 10, 2022.)
Andrew Wiggins had 17 points and 16 boards for the Warriors, who will host Game 5 on Monday night. They would also hold the home-court advantage in a seventh game, if necessary.
Jayson Tatum had 23 points and 11 rebounds, Jaylen Brown scored 21 points and Robert Williams III had 12 rebounds for Boston.
Fans arriving at the TD Garden for what could have been the final time this season found a T-shirt draped over their seats with the 17 NBA championship banners lined up on the front. There was a blank rectangle where the 18th would go.
Now the Celtics would need to win at least one more time in San Francisco to fill in the blank.
The amped-up crowd spent much of the game booing Warriors big man Draymond Green, chanting an obscenity at him that is usually reserved for Bucky Dent, and jeering his many misses. The four-time All-Star shot 1 of 7 but finished with nine rebounds and eight assists to go with two points.

New Delhi, June 9 (IANS) With India reporting a sudden rise in the number Covid-19 cases for a second day in a row, doctors said on Thursday that Omicron sub-variants are behind the spike in Covid caseload.
The Union Health Ministry said on Thursday that India registered 7,240 fresh Covid cases in the last 24 hours, up from 5,233 infections logged the previous day.
Maharashtra reported 2,701 fresh cases, its highest infection count since January 25, while Kerala reported 2,271 new cases in the last 24 hours. The national capital reported 564 cases.
Although the cases are rising sharply, doctors are calling them mild, noting that the symptoms resolve within 2-3 days, and require no hospitalisation.
“I have observed that the recent Covid positive patients are getting better in 48 to 72 hours. Nobody has required any Remdesivir or immunotherapy. Patients are not having major complications,” Manjusha Agarwal, Senior Consultant-Internal Medicine at Global Hospital, Mumbai, told IANS.
Agarwal credited vaccination to be the reason for low severity.
“This is a mild wave compared to January. Or we can say this is the mildest wave of Covid that we have seen,” Agarwal said.
Satish Koul, Director, Internal Medicine, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, told IANS that he is seeing patients with Covid symptoms in OPD on a regular basis.
The symptoms begin with “fever, sore or scratchy throat, body ache, fatigue, followed by cough and throat irritation”, Koul told IANS.
The symptoms are similar to those seen in Omicron, “but with a possibility of a sub-strain”.
The sub-variant is “demonstrating immune escape, meaning it’s evading vaccine induced immunity and immunity gained with previous Covid-19 infection”, he added.
According to Sushila Kataria, Senior Director, Internal Medicine, Medanta Hospital, Gurugram, the new cases are “of Omicron lineage, possibly the BA.2 variant”.
Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu have reportedly detected cases of BA 4 and BA 5 strains of Omicron.
However, people are getting better with home medication and “there is no need to panic”.
“If you wear a mask and follow all the Covid protocols, it will help you to not fall sick. People should follow the protocols even if the government has not made them mandatory,” the doctors said.

CHICAGO — Former Cleveland President Gabe Paul once quipped that “a manager really gets paid for how much he suffers.”
If that’s still the case, Tony La Russa deserves a raise.
No one has suffered quite like the Chicago White Sox manager, who still was the talk of baseball Friday one day after “the walk.”
Not since Kevin Cash lifted starter Blake Snell in Game 6 of the 2020 World Series has a strategic move generated so much disdain.
By ordering left-hander Bennett Sousa to issue an intentional walk to Los Angeles Dodgers hitter Trea Turner with a 1-2 count and first base open in the sixth inning Thursday, La Russa inadvertently opened the door to a world of pain.
When Max Muncy followed with a three-run home run, the second-winningest manager in history knew the decision would be questioned. Yet La Russa maintained a postgame posture of being completely surprised by the questioning, which made the moment exponentially worse.
It was the intentional walk heard around the baseball world, in which a 77-year-old manager made an indefensible move, then got defensive trying to defend it. If this were just the usual Sox Twitter mob on his back, La Russa possibly could’ve shrugged it off as another bump in the road on his much-publicized comeback after leaving the dugout in 2011.
From the Yermín Mercedes incident last season to Thursday’s intentional walk on a 1-2 count, La Russa has been in a few crazy episodes but survived them all. Teflon Tony was real.
But virtually no one agreed with La Russa, leaving him on an island. Even Fox News called it “perplexing” and mentioned a Sox fan yelling “He’s got two strikes, Tony!”
NBC Sports Chicago analyst Ozzie Guillén told WSCR-AM 670′s “The Mully and Haugh Show” he was “shocked” by the move. MLB Network showed that 42.8% of hitters with a 1-2 count strike out, and former major-leaguer Cameron Maybin brought up La Russa’s other head-scratching decisions.
No one was under the delusion La Russa wouldn’t survive this. Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf is a loyal friend. Case closed. But it gave La Russa’s already sizable legion of doubters one more reason to call for a change.
The move already has zoomed to the top of the charts on the “La Russa Top 40,″ surpassing “YermínGate,” the controversy over homering on a 3-0 pitch in a rout. Tumbling down the chart was La Russa leaving in closer Liam Hendriks as a ghost runner last season, not knowing the rule, and bringing in left-hander Tanner Banks to face right-handed New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton last month.
Unless another manager calls for an intentional walk on a 1-2 pitch, La Russa will have the category to himself for the rest of time. Imagine that.
One decision in one game isn’t the end of the world. The Sox went into Friday’s game against the Texas Rangers knowing starter Lance Lynn would soon return, with shortstop Tim Anderson not too far behind. And La Russa is not the first manager to make some crazy moves.
Former Cubs manager Don Zimmer, who was beloved in Chicago for ignoring conventional wisdom in the summer of 1989, said that season he never worried about fan or media backlash as long as he had a good explanation for every decision he made.
La Russa had an explanation as well: A lefty-on-lefty matchup — Sousa versus Muncy — had a better chance of succeeding than Sousa facing Turner, even with two strikes. La Russa challenged an MLB.com writer, asking if he knew Turner’s and Muncy’s numbers.
As an MLB Network graphic showed, Turner had a .254 career average with a 1-2 count and a .378 average this season, with a 31.4% strikeout rate. Muncy is hitting .146 versus left-handers this season (and was at .125 before the at-bat, one of the worst in the majors in that category). Over Muncy’s career, MLB Network pointed out he has a much more respectable .252 average against lefties.
One stat both MLB Network and La Russa ignored belonged to the 27-year-old Sousa. Left-handed batters are hitting .364 off Sousa, who has an 8.20 ERA. Just because he’s left-handed doesn’t mean he has been successful against left-handed hitters.
No matter. The deed is done. Now it’s time to watch the fallout.
General manager Rick Hahn did not fire La Russa Thursday night while everyone was sleeping despite pleas from Sox fans on Twitter. Hahn, who didn’t personally choose La Russa, coincidentally discussed this week how he reacts when bad stuff happens to the Sox.
“I throw (stuff),” he said. “I’ve been walking a lot. I leave the house when I’m not with the team. Actually here (at Guaranteed Rate Field), I walk in the tunnels a lot. My wife accuses me of acting like Jerry West in ‘Winning Time,’ which I think is (expletive). I don’t act like that. I think it’s slander, apparently West and me.”
Hahn is not the first Sox GM to wander around collecting his thoughts when things go bad. When executive vice president Ken Williams was GM in 2002, he went for a long walk around Edison Field during a 19-0 loss to the Anaheim Angels, the most lopsided defeat in team history.
At the very least, Sox GMs traditionally get their steps in during times of stress.
So what’s next for the Sox? Time to audible?
Cubs President Jed Hoyer talked about adding on last June before an 11-game losing streak led to the biggest sell-off in team history. Hahn said he doesn’t expect to be in “sell mode” at the trade deadline.
“I really don’t hope I have to sit here in six weeks and eat these words,” he said.
The Sox invented the “White Flag Trade” in 1997. Don’t expect likewise on the 25th anniversary this July.
But at the very least it should be an interesting six weeks for the Sox and for La Russa, who seems to live by the words of Gene Mauch.
“I’m not the manager because I’m always right,” Mauch once said. “But I’m always right because I’m the manager.”

LA GRANGE, N.C. (AP) — A brush fire on a North Carolina farm caused fireworks to explode inside a container where they were stored, killing one person and injuring three firefighters Friday, authorities said.
Lenoir County Emergency Services Director Murry Stroud told broadcast outlet WITN of Greenville that one person was confirmed dead from the afternoon blast and three firefighters were hurt, one of them in critical condition.
Stroud said firefighters were dispatched to put out a reported brush fire at a farm in La Grange as flames were approaching a building. He said fields were being burned off when the fire spread and detonated the fireworks stored in a container.
The identities of the dead and injured were not immediately released. Authorities told the station a representative for the property was the person who died at the scene.

Leicester City were one of only four Premier League clubs who didn’t give a single minute of top-flight action to a teenage player last season.
But that surprising statistic doesn’t tell the whole story of their youth development for the campaign, or the prospect of more youngsters getting their chance in Brendan Rodgers’ side in 2022-23.
Luke Thomas was 19 when he made his debut against Sheffield United late in the 2019-20 season and the following one saw Vontae Daley-Campbell and Sidnei Tavares given their Premier League debuts while still teenagers, and Khanya Leshabela make his first appearance at age 20.
There may have been the perception that the cream from the academy may have already risen in Harvey Barnes, Ben Chilwell and Hamza Choudhury, but last season did still see a number of homegrown players break through, most notably Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. He made his Premier League bow in August at the ripe age of 22, but his first-team debut came away at Brentford in the FA Cup 19 months earlier.
Dewsbury-Hall capped a fantastic debut season with Leicester’s players’ player of the year and young player of the year awards, evidence that patience and hard work pay off.
This past season also saw Lewis Brunt and Kasey McAteer make their Premier League debuts, the latter just 20 days after his 20th birthday, while Will Alves was 16 when he came on as a substitute for his initial first-team appearance in the FA Cup against Watford in January. Wanya Marcal-Madivadua also made his senior-football bow in that game, aged 19.
Others have also been in and around the first team this season without getting a game but there are high hopes for defender Ben Nelson, who was an unused substitute seven times, and midfielder Sammy Braybrooke, who was in the squad on three occasions. Both are England Under-18 internationals and highly rated by Leicester.
Oliver Ewing, 19, was on the bench for two European games while goalkeepers Jakub Stolarczyk, aged 21, and 19-year-old Chituru Odunze have featured in four and three squads respectively.
It doesn’t end there.
Seventeen-year-old striker Chris Popov has had an excellent season, scoring 13 goals in 20 appearances in the Under-18s Premier League, two in two games in the FA Youth Cup and one in five for the under-23s in Premier League 2. He was also on the bench for the final EFL Trophy group game against fourth division Barrow in November.
Popov, who has an energetic style of play similar to Jamie Vardy, was one of 15 players to sign professional forms in February.
That group also includes Iestyn Hughes, who, like fellow Welshman Popov, came to the club from Manchester United’s academy, where head of academy player development Paul McGuinness still has strong links after 23 years there as a youth coach.
The others to sign were Ben Nelson, Sammy Braybrooke (both 18), McAteer, Brunt, Marcal-Madivadua, Ben Grist (17), Tawanda Maswanhise (19), Brad Young (19), Bayli Spencer-Adams (20), Ronny Nelson (18), Ethan Fitzhugh (19), Will Russ (19) and 17-year-old Zach Booth, who signed a new contract.
The odds are only a few will make it through to Rodgers’ squad but for some, there will at least be an opportunity to impress him this pre-season because many will be invited to train with the first team and some will be involved in the warm-up friendlies the club are currently organising.
The ongoing COVID-19 situation and a crippling injury list last season provided a unique environment for youth development and in some ways accelerated the development of some players who may not have been given such opportunities had Rodgers had the luxury of a fully-fit squad.
It may be harder to break through this coming season when no European football will allow Rodgers more preparation for Premier League fixtures, more recovery time for his over-taxed senior players and fewer matches to potentially blood youngsters in.
For some, a loan move — similar to the ones that helped the development of Barnes and Dewsbury-Hall — will be their best option if they are deemed to be ready for senior football. McAteer (Forest Green Rovers), Stolarczyk (Dunfermline), Daley-Campbell (Dundee), Josh Eppiah (Northampton Town), Jacob Wakeling (Barrow), Leshabela (Shrewsbury Town), Callum Wright (Cheltenham Town), Daniel Iversen (Preston North End), George Hirst (Portsmouth) and Tyrese Shade (Walsall) were all farmed out to pick up valuable experience last season.
Shade had already announced on social media that his five years at the club were at an end, and then yesterday (Thursday), Leicester released their retained list which confirmed Daley-Campbell, Wakeling, Russ and 21-year-old Callum Hulme will also leave the club.
All will stand a chance of forging a professional career elsewhere after years of top-level coaching within a Category One academy.
For a few there will be a pathway to the first team, to follow Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes, Choudhury and Thomas, but Rodgers will be careful how he handles the youngsters he decides are ready.
“I love giving young players an opportunity,” he has previously stated. “But what is also really important is recognising that you can deter a young player in his career if you put him in too early.
“They have to have the right qualities and have to be at the right stage of their temperament and mentality to be given the opportunity. Otherwise, you can actually really put them back in their development and career.”
Leicester will continue to take a cautious approach to introducing academy prospects to the rigours of senior football, but the pathway is open and clearly marked for those aspiring to be the next to break through.

Of course, Michigan football needs a victory charm to rival Ohio State’s gold pants
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State was 6-22-2 against Michigan going into their rivalry game in 1934. Yet the Buckeyes had to believe they could hang with a program that had dominated them. Ohio State coach Francis Schmidt inspired that belief by, as the story goes, observing before the game that the...

Disinvestment not for shutting down CPSEs, but to make them more efficient: Nirmala Sitharaman
Highlighting that public sector enterprises which were privatised between 1994 and 2004 are being driven by professionally run boards, the minister said these companies have only improved.

NEW DELHI: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday said the principle of the government's disinvestment programme is not to shut down any unit or company but to make them more efficient and professionally driven.
Highlighting that public sector enterprises which were privatised between 1994 and 2004 are being driven by professionally run boards, the minister said these companies have only improved.
Addressing the iconic week celebrations of Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) as part of 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav' here, Sitharaman said that "privatisation of CPSEs is intended at ensuring that these companies are run efficiently and cost effectively".
"The principle with which disinvestment is happening now is not to shut down a unit. The economy needs that many number of such companies and many, many more as well. So if we want to have that activity done professionally and open up spaces for people to come and do it, our interest is not to shut down, we want to prime it up, we want to have them to run far more efficiently so that contributions can be made to the economy," Sitharaman said in her webcast speech from Bengaluru.
She said the principle of disinvestment is to make sure that companies which are being privatised are in the hands of people who can run it, bring in more capital and give same production. "So it's not to close down but to bring in opportunity for better and more investments to be made," Sitharaman said.
The government has also lined up over half a dozen companies for strategic sale. These include Shipping Corp, CONCOR, Vizag Steel, IDBI Bank, Nagarnar Steel Plant of NMDC and HLL Lifecare. So far in the current fiscal year, the government has mopped up over Rs 24,000 crore from CPSE disinvestment.
The target for full fiscal year has been set at Rs 65,000 crore. In last fiscal year, over Rs 13,500 crore was realised via CPSE disinvestment, which also include amount realised via privatisation of Air India. The minister further said CPSE Bharat Bond ETF constitutes about 84 per cent of all Exchange Traded Funds in the market.
The AUM (asset under management) under Bharat Bond ETF stands at over Rs 53,000 crore. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2022/jun/10/disinvestment-not-for-shutting-down-cpses-but-to-make-them-more-efficient-nirmala-sitharaman-2464077.html | 2022-06-11T05:46:07Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2022/jun/10/disinvestment-not-for-shutting-down-cpses-but-to-make-them-more-efficient-nirmala-sitharaman-2464077.html | false | 4 |
Zoom collaborates with Microsoft Teams; bets big on hiring in India
Video conferencing platform Zoom has collaborated with Microsoft Teams and now the users of both platforms can use each other’s video platforms.

BENGALURU: Video conferencing platform Zoom has collaborated with Microsoft Teams and now the users of both platforms can use each other’s video platforms. Also, meetings created in Teams will appear on one’s Zoom account. “We help companies collaborate with the existing system as much as possible.
As we go ahead, it’s across platforms and devices,” Sameer Raje, General Manager and Head, India and SAARC, Zoom, said. He added that with Zoom Rooms, organisations can reenter the office safely and support their hybrid workforces.
“The world today is more about technology. The collaboration will continue and evolve and new technologies such as AI/VR are going to come in and this will be enhanced,” Raje said, adding that Zoom Rooms can be used and enhanced across sectors such as BFSI, pharma and education. Zoom, which employs over 6,000 people globally, is planning to hire more employees in India.
The firm has a tech centre in Chennai and R&D centre in Bengaluru. Both offices contribute to the global platform. The platform has introduced new features such as Smart Gallery, where one can leverage AI to create individual video feeds of in-room participants, and Zoom Room Controller, a feature that allows users to start, stop and control Zoom Rooms meetings from their paired personal mobile devices. The company in the first quarter of this year clocked revenue of over $1 billion driven by its success in Enterprise, Zoom Rooms and Zoom Phone that reached 3 million seats during the quarter. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2022/jun/10/zoom-collaborates-with-microsoft-teams-bets-big-on-hiring-in-india-2463902.html | 2022-06-11T05:48:26Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2022/jun/10/zoom-collaborates-with-microsoft-teams-bets-big-on-hiring-in-india-2463902.html | false | 1 |

NEW DELHI: The Delhi University has written to colleges asking them to ensure there is no caste-based discrimination on the campus, saying officials or faculty members should desist from any such act against SC/ST students on grounds of their social origin.
The varsity's assistant registrar on May 25 wrote to colleges attaching several letters from the University Grants Commission (UGC) on the prevention of caste-based discrimination in higher education and requesting them to take necessary action in the matter.
The UGC, in this direction, has requested to take four actions, including constitution of a committee to look into the discrimination complaints received from SC/ST/OBC students, teachers and non-teaching staff.
"The university/institute/college may develop a page on their website for lodging such complaints of caste discrimination by Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribes (SC/ST) students and also place a complaint register in the registrar/principal office for the purpose. If any such incident comes to the notice of the authorities, action should be taken against the erring official/faculty members promptly," it further suggested. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/delhi/2022/jun/09/delhi-university-writes-to-colleges-to-stop-caste-based-discrimination-on-campus-2463670.html | 2022-06-11T05:50:39Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/delhi/2022/jun/09/delhi-university-writes-to-colleges-to-stop-caste-based-discrimination-on-campus-2463670.html | false | 4 |

Niagara County Community College’s golf team concluded its best season in history with its highest finish at the NJCAA Division III Championships.
Undefeated in winning its third consecutive regional championship, the Thunderwolves placed fourth in team scoring at nationals with 1,249 total strokes over 72 holes at Chautauqua Golf Club, 75 fewer than last year's team that took fifth.
Three freshmen earned All-America distinction by placing in the top 18 among 75 competitors — Leo Camilloni (10th), Sean Barrett (11th) and Zac Golibersuch (18th). In previous trips national tournaments, NCCC had one All-American on two occasions.
“I couldn’t have imagined a better season for this group,” coach Matt Oleski said. “And I couldn’t be more proud of all the hard work that they put in this season.”
Camilloni’s top-10 finish and four-round score of 308 were the best ever by an NCCC player. Regional medalist Barrett’s 311 also beat the previous team record set last year by Sam Hyman, who finished 13th with a 313. Camilloni and Barrett also broke a Thunderwolves record by recording a 2-over-par 74 in a round, besting the 75 that Hogan Lang (Roy-Hart) carded in 2017.
“Every single player did something at some point to help this team have its best season,” Oleski said. “And that continued with some record performances at nationals.”
In the first women’s NJCAA D-III tournament, freshman McCarthy Lang (Roy-Hart) shot season-lows 88 in the first-round and 89 in Friday’s final round to place fifth with a 369. Her sister, sophomore Kennedy Lang, placed last among six competitors with a 372 that was highlighted by a season-best round of 90.
“Even though they didn’t finish as high as they would've liked, it was an honor for them to be among the first women to compete in this tournament,” Oleski said. “But are the bricklayers and trailblazers for the future.”
While proud of his team’s achievements, Oleski was disappointed by a lackluster final round when he felt NCCC was in contention to finish as high as second.
“It’s a tough pill to swallow knowing that was there for the taking,” Oleski said. “We didn’t play our best game today. If we shot our season average, we’d be the national runner-up.
“We are a team full of freshmen, and sophomores tend to play 10 to 12 strokes better in this tournament. You can’t recreate these moments in practice, and you only get that experience from putting yourself in this situation. Hopefully, with many of these players coming back next year, we’ll have even more success.” | https://www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/local_sports/nccc-golf-wraps-up-best-season-in-program-history/article_ae316c5d-3c3d-537a-aa04-fa78f4faef9e.html | 2022-06-11T05:54:19Z | https://www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/local_sports/nccc-golf-wraps-up-best-season-in-program-history/article_ae316c5d-3c3d-537a-aa04-fa78f4faef9e.html | true | 2 |
KOCHI: BMW cars in the future will have the signature of a Keralite technopreneur on them. The German luxury cars in the coming generation will have an advanced infotainment system developed by Ascia Technologies, a global automotive software company headquartered in Technopark, Thiruvananthapuram, helmed by Thrissur native Jijimon Chandran.
The company has been selected as a software development provider by Garmin, a leading global provider of GPS-enabled products, and the company that teams up with Germany-based AOX Technologies to develop infotainment systems for BMW. The major software development activities will be done at Acsia’s delivery centre in Thiruvananthapuram.
The company will be placing its engineers in Germany too. “Acsia was selected after a long evaluation process. We are one of the very few Indian companies to do a major automotive software project for the German carmaker. Through the project, the engineers in the state will have the opportunity to work with a world-class automotive brand” said Jijimon Chandran, CEO of Acsia Technologies. “Acsia has been delivering best-in-class services to their customers across the world.
The company, along with AOX, being a Garmin SW development partner will further strengthen our competencies. We look forward to this association to offer digital cockpits to our customers,” said Craig Puder, Vice-president of automotive OEM engineering at Garmin. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/2022/jun/10/kerala-firm-to-developsoftware-for-bmw-2463699.html | 2022-06-11T05:54:56Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/2022/jun/10/kerala-firm-to-developsoftware-for-bmw-2463699.html | true | 1 |

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Darin Ruf hit two homers and drove in four runs, Joc Pederson added two hits and two RBIs, and Jakob Junis won his third straight decision as the San Francisco Giants beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-2 Friday night.
Junis (4-1) worked five innings and yielded two runs and five hits, including Gavin Lux’s fifth-inning homer, before leaving with a strained hamstring.
The Lux homer pulled the Dodgers within 3-2 before the Giants scored three runs in their half of the fifth inning to pull away.
With Curt Casali on first base and one out, pinch-hitter Austin Slater hit a comebacker to Dodgers reliever Justin Bruhl, who slipped as he fielded the ball. That caused Bruhl to throw wildly past first as Casali and Slater advanced to third and second. One out later, Pederson singled home two runs and Ruf stroked an RBI single.
Dodgers starter Walker Buehler (6-3) lost for just the second time in his career in nine decisions against the Giants. He allowed three runs and four hits in four innings before leaving the game with discomfort in his elbow.
Pederson opened the scoring by leading off the second with a single, stealing second and scoring on Evan Longoria’s double. Longoria scored on Brandon Crawford’s single. Ruf hit his fourth homer of the season with one out in the fourth, and added his fifth homer with one out in the eighth off David Price.
PRIDE DAY
Longtime rivals on the diamond, the Dodgers and Giants will join forces in pregame ceremonies Saturday at Oracle Park to observe Pride Day, a celebration of diversity.
"We’re looking forward to it and partnering with the Dodgers on this, really coming together and emphasizing that it’s not enough to reluctantly accept any community,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. “It’s really important that everybody feels welcome and wanted and appreciated. That is absolutely true for the LGTBQ+ communities.”
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts cited the “awareness” and “inclusiveness” that the event promotes. “I think that two great organizations coming together to use our platform is a positive thing,” he said.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Dodgers: Roberts said that left-hander Andrew Heaney (shoulder) will be expected to work at least five innings next Tuesday when he makes third injury rehabilitation start. Roberts said that due to logistics, Heaney will pitch not for Triple-A Oklahoma City, but instead for Double-A Tulsa against Wichita. Heaney continued to progress on Thursday, allowing two hits and walking none while striking out five in 4 1/3 scoreless innings for Oklahoma City against Sugar Land.
Giants: Outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (left knee) felt tightness in his left hamstring while performing baserunning drills, prompting the Giants to back off on his possible return. “I don’t think we’re at the stage where we have to consider this a real setback,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said, “but we’re going to get through the weekend before we decide what’s next.” Kapler said that the Giants’ medical staff prefers to consider Wade’s injury “separate” from his knee. “But everything’s always connected,” Kapler added. Wade, one of San Francisco’s leading hitters with 18 homers last year, has appeared in 10 of 57 games ... Second baseman Tommy La Stella reported back tightness, prompting the Giants to scratch him from the lineup ... Though Anthony DeSclafani (right ankle) is expected to make an injury rehabilitation start sometime this weekend, Kapler refused to speculate on when the right-hander would rejoin the rotation. DeSclafani, 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA and two shutouts last year, is 0-1 with a 6.08 ERA in three starts this season.
UP NEXT
Dodgers: In a shuffling of the rotation, left-hander Clayton Kershaw (4-0, 1.80 ERA in five starts) will start Saturday against San Francisco. Left-hander Julio Urias, previously named Saturday’s scheduled starter, will pitch Sunday instead to get extra rest. The Giants have not named a probable starter.

With their backs firmly against the wall, the Warriors needed their hobbled superstar to carry them to a victory.
And boy, did Stephen Curry ever deliver.
Curry scored 43 points — and grabbed 10 rebounds, too — to help the Warriors come from behind to take Game 4 of the NBA Finals from the Boston Celtics, 107-97, and even the series at two games apiece.
The win gives the Warriors another road victory in a postseason series, something they have done in each and every one of the 27 playoff series that Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green have ever played in. It also means that the trio has won two games in every playoff series they’ve ever played in, too.
And while Thompson hit some vital 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and both Kevon Looney and Andrew Wiggins gave vital performances, June 10, 2022 is set up to forever be remembered as The Steph Curry Game.
Here’s what the Warriors are saying after the game:
STEVE KERR
On Curry’s performance:
Just stunning. The physicality out there is, you know, pretty dramatic. I mean, Boston’s got obviously, best defense in the league. Huge and powerful at every position, and for Steph to take that — that kind of pressure all game long and still be able to defend at the other end when they are coming at him shows you, I think this is the strongest physically he’s ever been in his career, and it’s allowing him to do what he’s doing.
On the emotion Curry showed on the night:
Well, everybody was emotional tonight. Down 2-1, we had to come out with some desperation and more physicality than we showed in Game 3. So it was a team-wide sense of aggression and emotion. That started right from the opening tip. Steph obviously doesn’t normally show a lot of emotion, but a night like tonight warranted it.
On pulling Draymond in the middle of the fourth:
Yeah, we took him out and put Loon in around maybe the eight-minute mark maybe, 7:40, which was our plan, anyway. But Loon was playing so well and Jordan Poole was playing so well, so we just stayed with the group.
We generally do that. Like most coaches, if you’ve got a group that’s going well, you just stay with it. The last few minutes we just went to kind of an offense-defense pattern with Draymond and Jordan alternating.
On sitting Curry to start the fourth:
He was not happy. I felt pretty good about where we were. The other night he played the whole fourth, and I didn’t love the way that quarter went, not because of how he played, but I think we were in a pretty good spot.
You know, to buy him a few minutes in that fourth quarter to start, I think to me was important. But you never know how it all plays out. You just kind of go with your gut.
On the 26th consecutive playoff series with a road win:
Well, you have a group of guys who are going to be in the Hall of Fame someday: Steph, Klay, Draymond. These guys are the constant. They have been here together throughout that span. So they are not only gifted but they are incredibly competitive, and that’s what it takes to win on the road. You have to summon that kind of will and intensity and passion, and those guys have that.
KLAY THOMPSON
On Curry showing emotion:
I think I have seen him show that much emotion, and the heart on that man is incredible. You know, the things he does we kind of take for granted from time to time, but to go out there and put us on his back, I mean, we got to help him out on Monday. Wow, just showed why he is — shocking he wasn’t a First Team All-NBA guy, but whatever, next year.
On his fourth quarter 3-pointers:
You know, I got some great looks all night, and come playoff time, especially in the Finals, it’s hard to get good looks. Teams going to blanket us. So when you get that little, you know, space, you’ve got to let it fly. Been in this league too long to ever doubt myself, especially in the highest pressurized moments. You’ve just got to let that thing go and trust your word, trust your touch, and luckily I made them when they counted. Still thinking about that one I missed on the left wing, great pass from Andrew, but luckily I have Draymond who made an incredible rebound, and I’ll make it on Monday.
On where Curry’s game ranks on his resume:
I think probably No. 1. I mean, this was nearly a must-win game, and to go out there and shoot as efficiently as he did, and grab 10 rebounds and they were attacking him on defense; I mean, his conditioning is second-to-none in this league. Steph played incredible.
On what is needed to be bottled up from this night:
Well, we have re-established home court again. We can’t look ahead. We’ve got to play with that same force in the fourth quarter that we did, bring that Monday. And it’s going to be rocking there in Chase Center. I can’t wait to see our fans. I know they are excited. I know it was rocking in there tonight. So we can’t look ahead. Just be present and embrace your off-day, but then get some good work Sunday. And then when Monday comes, just live in the moment, because you don’t do yourself any good if you’re looking ahead to Game 6 or 7 or a championship. You’ve just got to embrace these moments. It’s special to be one of the last two teams playing, and I know we’re all going to bring it Monday. We’re so excited. This was a special night for Dub Nation.
STEPH CURRY
On what his performance means:
It means everything, knowing the sense of urgency we had to have tonight to win on the road and keep some life in the series, get home-court advantage back and try to create some momentum our way. It was a hard-fought win. I think the first quarter really set the tone. Even though we were down one, it was a night and day difference between Game 3 and Game 4 how we came out defensively, and that just gives you enough life to withstand some rough patches. And then, you know, find some runs. We get some stops, get out in transition, guys get involved. And you give yourself a chance to win it down the stretch. Proud of everybody in terms of our physicality, our focus, perseverance throughout the game. 2-2 is way better than 3-1 going home. Job well done tonight.
On if he felt this brewing:
Yeah, again, it’s kind of how we wanted to start the game. We rely on Draymond bringing that energy and fire throughout the course of the season, and year after year. Felt like we just had to let everybody know that we were here tonight. Whether that’s their crowd, their team, our team, whoever wants to see that energy and that fire, we feed off of that. Yeah, I think it helped us just get settled into the game because, obviously, our experience, you can want it so bad, you kind of get in your own way a little bit and everybody feels a little bit of pressure, and it can go the opposite way. I wanted to try to leverage that in a positive direction for us to start the game.
On where he rates this performance on his career list:
I can’t rate my performances, though. Just win the game.
JORDAN POOLE
On confidence veterans have shown in him:
Feels amazing, being able just to have the players, the staff, allow me to go out there and play my game and trust that I’m going to put my teammates in the best position and the best position for us to win. But credit to them, too, just because I’m asking so many questions and they are giving me answers and it’s translating. So I’m thankful to be in a position with these guys and learn as much as I can.
On Curry’s performance:
It’s huge. We wouldn’t have won without him. And I don’t know if you can even say besides 43 and 10 because 43 and 10 is crazy, especially in the NBA Finals. He’s our leader, and that’s what he does. Huge game. Huge game by him. And we needed that.
On the offense-defense substitutions with Green:
It was late in the game, last three minutes I think. So being prepared. Staying ready. Good decision by the coaches. You know, we trust the decisions that they make, so being able to have the talent to do the offense-defense thing and for it to work was huge for us.
On getting Curry more help:
I’ve been thinking that every time I step out on the court just because he’s a spectacular player and he does amazing stuff all the time. So especially how dominant Klay, Wiggs, and being able to just throw myself in there to try to give him help by still being aggressive, but also still playing off him is something I think make it special. All three of us, aside from Klay being aggressive, I think we are a pretty hard team to stop. When we are able to make shots, that makes it easier for him to get it going and continue to keep going because we’re just a threat off the ball as well.
DRAYMOND GREEN
On Curry’s night:
Incredible. Put us on his back. Willed us to win. Much-needed win. Game we had to have. Came out and showed why he’s one of the best players to ever play this game, you know, and why, you know, this organization has been able to ride him to so much success. It’s absolutely incredible.
On Curry’s resilience to battle through foot injury:
Same thing I’ve always said. You know, him, one of the most resilient, toughest guys I’ve ever played with. You know, the way defenses guard him, they are constantly grabbing, and he just continues to play. He don’t make much of it. He just continues to do what he does. You know, it just says a lot about his toughness and his competitive nature and what it truly means to be a winner.
On his reaction to being benched for a stretch of the fourth quarter:
I’m definitely never thrilled coming out of the game with seven minutes to go in the fourth quarter in a must-win game. I’m not going to sit here and act like I was thrilled. I’m a competitor. But, at the end of the day, if that’s what Coach decides, then you roll with it. You know, I had to keep my head in the game and, you know, whenever I went back in, try to make some plays. That was just my mindset. You know, don’t make too much of it. I’ve always been of the — on the bandwagon of if you’ve got something and it’s rolling, you stick with it. So it is what it is.
On Curry showing his emotions throughout:
Yeah, he wasn’t letting us lose. That’s what it boils down to. You hear all the noise for a day or so, and I could tell in his demeanor the last couple days, even after Game 3, that he was going to come out with that type of fire. And he did, and we were all able to follow it.
ANDREW WIGGINS
On his 16-rebound effort:
I just know last game, they had, you know, out-rebounded us, and you know, got all the offensive rebounds. Today just wanted to come in and be aggressive on the boards and try to help out.
On Curry’s performance in the fourth:
All you can do is watch. When Steph has the ball sometimes, you just watch and see what he does. He’s the type of player that can go into the zone and get everyone involved. It was an intense fourth quarter. It was a good, competitive quarter.
On if he had concern over Curry’s injury impacting him:
To be honest, as soon as he steps on the court, I just think Steph’s going to be Steph, you know, regardless of who we are playing or how he’s feeling. I feel like if he steps on the court, he’s ready. He’s going to go out there and dominate like he did tonight. | https://www.orovillemr.com/2022/06/10/what-the-warriors-are-saying-after-steph-currys-stunning-performance-leads-dubs-to-game-4-win/ | 2022-06-11T06:04:27Z | https://www.orovillemr.com/2022/06/10/what-the-warriors-are-saying-after-steph-currys-stunning-performance-leads-dubs-to-game-4-win/ | true | 3 |
Ford Ordered To Pay $7 Million For Mustang Crash
That’s a lot of money…
Back in 2016, 19-year-old Breanna Bumgarner was driving her 2014 Ford Mustang down U.S. Route 33 near Spencer, West Virginia when a 1989 Toyota pickup crossed the center line. In the crash, the truck hit the Ford’s A-pillar, crumpling the driver’s door so Bumgarner couldn’t escape as the pony car caught fire. She burned alive.
Check out the Motorious Podcast on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other podcast platforms.
A jury just found Ford to be 99% at fault for the young woman’s untimely death, holding the other driver only 1% accountable. That might seem off, but the jury took under consideration the allegation that fire was sparked by insufficient protection around the brake fluid reservoir, which ruptured and ignited the blaze.
Even worse, the attorneys representing Bumgarner’s mother argued the steel used in the Mustang’s safety cage was made of the same type used in the front and rear crumple zones. In other words, it deformed easily, trapping the 19-year-old inside because it lacked sufficient strength.
Those attorneys pointed to crash test results from 2011 which highlighted these two safety concerns with the Mustang. Yet Ford made no changes to the vehicle structure or materials used for three years after.
Ford’s attorney in the trial argued that the crash tests weren’t representative of the crash which killed Bumgarner. He pointed out the other side was using the small overlap test, which is a measurement of how a vehicle performs when the front corner strikes a pole, not when it’s sideswiped by an oncoming car at a 40-degree angle.
The trial lasted for over two weeks, with both sides laying out their case before the jury went into deliberations.
Searching the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s database, we found the only crash test information available for the 2014 Mustang refers to the tests done for the 2010 model year. IIHS awarded the pony car with a Good rating for the moderate overlap front test, Acceptable for side: original test, and Good for head restraints and seats. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the 2014 Ford Mustang with a 4-Star Safety Rating.
A Ford spokesman told the Charleston Gazette-Mail the company is looking at options for appealing the verdict.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A federal appeals court has put on hold a district judge’s order for Louisiana to redraw new congressional districts by June 20 to include a second majority Black district.
The order late Thursday from the 5th U.S. Court of Appeals is the latest move in a legal battle between the Republican legislature and secretary of state and Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards.
Edwards had vetoed the new districts drawn up after the latest census, saying that since Louisiana is nearly one-third African American, a single majority-Black district violates the Voting Rights Act. However, the legislature overrode his veto in late March.
A 5th Circuit panel stepped in and paused the remap order Thursday night, hours after U.S. District Judge Shelly Dick refused to delay her deadline while it was appealed.
Lawyers for Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin wrote in a motion filed Friday that Dick’s order would itself require a racial gerrymander that would violate the Voting Rights Act.
State Senate President Page Cortez and House Speaker Clay Schexnayder made much the same argument in a motion filed Thursday.
Ardoin said Dick ignored legal precedent and election officials.
“On the record, there is no basis for allowing the State to conduct the coming election in likely violation of federal law and the rights of the State’s Black voters,” responded attorneys for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which represents one of the two groups of voters who challenged the plan.
“Defendants point to nothing in the district court’s order that indicates it made a mistake of law or fact,” said lawyers for the other group.
Cortez and Schexnayder said Friday that a special session scheduled for next week to revise House district boundaries should be canceled.
“Before the judicial redistricting process is complete, any special session would be premature and a waste of taxpayer money,” they wrote.
Edwards, who scheduled the June 15-20 redistricting session, said it’s too early to cancel it.
The appeals court is likely to act again before June 15, said a news release from his office.
If Dick’s order for a new map June 20 remains on hold, he told lawmakers in a letter, the session should be delayed until a definitive court decision is reached.
“While I am mindful of the costs to the taxpayers as pointed out in your press release, it is clear that the state would have saved the unknown thousands of dollars being spent on out-of-state lawyers if the legislature had originally enacted maps that comply with the Voting Rights Act and the standard of fundamental fairness,” he wrote. “It is not too late for the legislature to do the right thing.”
Court papers for Ardoin call the deadline “unworkable” — an argument that Dick described as “insincere and not persuasive.”
The state requires seven days’ notice of the start of the session and three days for bill reading, she wrote. That “would require ten days total, and this Court gave the Legislature fourteen,” she said.
A friend-of-the-court brief from Alabama and 11 other states argued that Dick turned part of the Voting Rights Act from protection against discrimination “into a tool for compelling racially discriminatory redistricting.”
The section makes it illegal to keep people from voting because of their race, but doesn’t require “that wherever a majority-minority district can be drawn, it must be drawn,” the states said.
If it did, it would be unconstitutional, the brief contended.
Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah joined with Alabama.
Under Dick’s order, “to avoid liability, the State must consider race first and everything else second,” they wrote. “That cannot be the law.”
Kathryn Sadasivan, redistricting counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, said the new map “continues to pack Black voters from New Orleans and Baton Rouge into a single congressional district despite the significant changes in the Black population and the shared interests and needs of Black voters in Baton Rouge and the Delta parishes” north of Baton Rouge along and east of the Mississippi River.
She said Dick’s 152-page ruling recognized that the single majority African American district dilutes Black political power.
“We are confident that the November primary election is sufficiently far away to allow this decision to stand,” Sadasivan wrote. | https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/politics/stay-on-order-for-2nd-majority-black-us-house-district-in-la/ | 2022-06-11T06:10:47Z | https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/politics/stay-on-order-for-2nd-majority-black-us-house-district-in-la/ | false | 17 |
Mickelson returns this week in Saudi-backed LIV Golf event
SAN DIEGO – Six-time major winner Phil Mickelson will tee off this week in the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series tournament in London, a move considered controversial in some golf circles after four months away from the game.
Mickelson, the 51-year-old San Diego native, has been flirting with the tour for months, but he’s been in hot water since February for a series of eyebrow-raising comments made to author Alan Shipnuck , who is writing a biography on him. He hasn’t played professionally since January in San Diego’s Farmers Insurance Open, missing both the Masters — which he’s won three times — and the PGA Championship.
In a statement Monday, Mickelson apologized to those he’d hurt with his comments, but noted that he’s “embracing the work ahead.”
“I am ready to come back to play the game I love but after 32 years this new path is a fresh start, one that is exciting for me at this stage of my career and is clearly transformative, not just for myself, but ideally for the game,” he said in a statement on Twitter . “I also love the progressive format and think it will be exciting for fans.”
Neighborhoods in San Diego with the most expensive home salesHe reportedly told Shipnuck that the Saudis were “scary motherf—–s to get involved with,” pointing to the slaying of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi and their poor record on human rights. Even so, he called it “a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates.”
Mickelson also criticized the PGA Tour to Golf Digest, saying its greed “ really opened the door for opportunities elsewhere .”
The effort to condemn Mickelson was swift. Several of his major sponsors dropped him , according to Golf Monthly, and he faced criticism from some on the tour, including Tiger Woods.
“Phil has said some things that I think a lot of us who are committed to the Tour and committed to the legacy of the Tour have pushed back against, and he’s taken some personal time, and we all understand that,” Woods told USA Today this year.
Mickelson now joins up with the LIV tour, headed by golf legend Greg Norman, and is among a crop of the sport’s notables in the 48-player field competing such as Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood.
In a statement released by LIV Golf, Norman called Mickelson “ unequivocally one of the greatest golfers of this generation .”
‘Regret how this was handled’: Disney apologizes after employee interrupts marriage proposal“His contributions to the sport and connection to fans around the globe cannot be overstated and we are grateful to have him,” Norman said. “He strengthens an exciting field for London where we’re proud to launch a new era for golf.”
It’s not yet clear what it means for Mickelson’s future in the PGA Tour, however. Sports Illustrated reported that he and others sought and were declined permission by the PGA Tour to play in the LIV events and potentially could face fines and have their membership denied in the future.
As for Mickelson, he said he’s “thrilled” to start his time with LIV Golf and that he also plans to play in majors.
“I fully realize and respect some may disagree with this decision and have strong opinions and I empathize with that,” his statement reads. “I have a renewed spirit and excitement for the game. I am incredibly grateful for the support of my fans, partners, friends, and peers and I hope in time, those sentiments, relationships, and support continue.”
Coverage of the inaugural LIV Golf Invitational Series tournament starts at 9 a.m. EST/6 a.m. PST Thursday and is airing live on LIVGolf.com, Facebook and YouTube.

Followed by Swapna Suresh's allegations, UDF to sharpen attack against Pinarayi
The entry of Shaj Kiran, an alleged middleman to settle the case, gave the Congress leadership one more reason to sharpen its attack against him.
Published: 10th June 2022 05:41 AM | Last Updated: 10th June 2022 05:41 AM | A+A A-
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The allegations levelled by Swapna Suresh, the prime accused in the gold smuggling case, against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and the frantic steps taken by the state government to silence her have given enough fodder for the Opposition UDF which has already targeted Pinarayi Vijayan in the case.
The entry of Shaj Kiran, an alleged middleman to settle the case, gave the Congress leadership one more reason to sharpen its attack against him. When the gold smuggling case had happened during July 2020, senior Congress MP K Muraleedharan said it is surprising that Swapna Suresh’s revelations have come immediately after the poll outcome in Thrikkakara. “Pinarayi is yet to react to the poll setback. It will not be surprising if the ongoing controversy has been the mastermind of his detractors within the CPM,” he told TNIE.
In social media, UDF leaders also highlighted the revengeful treatment by CPM of former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy when solar scam accused Saritha Nair had levelled serious allegations against him. Oommen Chandy told TNIE that the people are seeing the hungama before their eyes and they have realised the truth. “I am not a person who works with a revengeful mind and doesn’t have any regrets. I have been busy with my work and it will continue unabated. I was dragged into the solar scam just because two of my office staffers had spoken to the accused in the solar scam”, said Oommen Chandy.
On Friday, Congress will march to all collectorates across the state demanding the resignation of Pinarayi Vijayan. State president K Sudhakaran will inaugurate the march in front of the Secretariat and leader of the Opposition V D Satheesan will inaugurate the march in Kochi. Protests seeking resignation of Pinarayi Vijayan continued on Thursday across the state. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2022/jun/10/followed-by-swapna-sureshs-allegations-udf-to-sharpen-attack-against-pinarayi-2463766.html | 2022-06-11T06:17:50Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2022/jun/10/followed-by-swapna-sureshs-allegations-udf-to-sharpen-attack-against-pinarayi-2463766.html | false | 1 |

Sport sidelined: Many recreational activities struggling to find staff post-pandemic
Hayley Smith said being a lifeguard is the best job she's ever had.
She works at the Vecova swimming pool in northwest Calgary.
"It is significantly more fun," she said,"you get to know people and often it doesn't feel like not work, you get to know lots of your customers like they are your friends."
Swimming pools are hoping to find more people like Smith, as they struggle to hire enough lifeguards to walk their decks.
"It's been pretty challenging," said Michelle Thompson, with the Aquatic Health and Fitness program at Vecova. "We are finally able to get a few more resumes to come through but over the pandemic people let their certification go. They found other positions and once pools started opening again it was very hard to get them back."
Swimming isn't the only sport being sunk by the pandemic.
There are nearly 200 fewer soccer officials in Calgary now than there were before COVID-19 hit, a 30 per cent drop.
When soccer was sidelined, officials found other jobs - and the game is suffering.
"On a nightly basis, we are short a few referees," said Carlo Bruneau with the Calgary Minor Soccer Association, "It's not just soccer, its going to be every sport facing this issue...this summer we are experiencing that pinch where coaches are having to officiate matches."
Soccer leagues say they are actively trying to recruit and train more officials who will stay in the game.
It may be more of a challenge at the pool.
"Lifeguards generally have a high turnover rate anyway," said Michelle Thompson, "this is a part-time job for them while they finish high a school and university so definitely we have a gap...we have had to limit our pool hours definitely you will see that over summer as well."
Until that labour shortage is addressed, there will be fewer opportunities for Calgarians to hit the pool and the pitch. | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/sport-sidelined-many-recreational-activities-struggling-to-find-staff-post-pandemic-1.17975587 | 2022-06-11T06:22:12Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/sport-sidelined-many-recreational-activities-struggling-to-find-staff-post-pandemic-1.17975587 | false | 1 |

Karine Jean-Pierre tears into Louisiana abortion bill that will criminalize abortion and 'punish' providers with up to 10 years in prison and calls it 'the latest step in a growing attack against the fundamental freedoms of Americans'
President Joe Biden's top spokeswoman on Monday slammed Louisiana's new law that would increase the criminal consequences on healthcare professionals who provide abortions.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that the new law from the deep red state's legislature is part of a 'growing attack against the fundamental freedoms of Americans.'
'Louisiana's extreme bill will criminalize abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest and punish reproductive healthcare professionals with up to ten years in prison,' Jean-Pierre wrote in a Monday statement in response to the abortion law.
'The President is committed to protecting the constitutional rights of Americans afforded by Roe for nearly 50 years, and ensuring that women can make their own choices about their lives, bodies, and families,' she added. 'An overwhelming majority of the American people agree and reject these kinds of radical measures.'
Jean-Pierre is referencing recent polls that show more than half of Americans consider themselves pro-choice and around two-thirds are in favor of keeping Roe v. Wade in tact.
Louisiana's bill passed Thursday that would increase prison terms for abortion providers from a maximum of five years to 10 years and raises fines from a range of $5,000 – $50,000 to between $10,000 – $100,000.
These consequences would only go into effect if the Supreme Court overturns the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade, which it is expected to do later this month, according to a draft document that was leaked in May.
Louisiana is one of the 13 states that has so-called 'trigger laws', along with Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming,
These trigger laws would immediately ban all abortion once Roe v. Wade is overturned.
The Supreme Court is issuing its opinions for the term at the end of June – and anticipated as part of that is a full overturn of the 50-year-old landmark abortion ruling that constitutionally protected a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy.
Conservative Justice Samuel Alito's draft opinion was leaked last month showing an overturn to Roe v. Wade along with the support of three other conservative justices; Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch.
Chief Justice John Roberts said that he would not support an entire overturn, although he does support the Mississippi case that brought the issue before the Supreme Court in the first place that would make abortion illegal after 15 weeks into a pregnancy.
With a 6-3 conservative majority on the bench, Roberts' defection doesn't make a difference in determining the opinion.
Roberts immediately launched an investigation into the leaked draft opinion – at the same time confirming the validity of the document that was published by Politico in early May. It appears that investigators believe the most likely source of the leak is a recent law school graduate law clerk, of which each justice usually has four.
Louisiana's Democratic governor, John Bel Edwards, has not yet said whether he will veto the bill that was passed by his state's Senate last week.
Edwards said he supports abortion exceptions in the case of rape and incest, but has previously said that he would still support the bill without any changes, even thought it does not include these exceptions.
'Vetoing the bill wouldn't accomplish what I would like to have, which is the exceptions for rape and incest,' Edwards said at a press conference on Thursday.
Louisiana State Senator Katrina Jackson, a Democrat, sponsored the bill. It was significantly amended on the House floor with 15 additional pages to the five-page bill.
The amendments included exceptions for cases where the mother's life is at risk or if the fetus has a condition that would not allow it to live outside the womb.
The bill does not criminalize women who get abortions – just the providers who perform the procedure.
Louisiana's criminal code defines a 'person' as 'a human being from the moment of fertilization and implantation.'
If Roe v. Wade is overturned, the issue of abortion will be sent back to the states, meaning that Republicn states will likely have more strict laws to outright bans, while blue states could have abortion legal until the time of birth.
Democratic enclaves red states are vowing to serve as 'sanctuaries' for abortion rights.
In response to public outcry over the leaked draft opinion, blue cities situated in red states claim they will not enforce prosecution if abortion us outlawed at a state level.
A city council member in Austin, Texas, José 'Chito' Vela, proposed a resolution that would decriminalize abortion at a local level if the state fully bans it.
Texas already has some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country.
Currently abortion is illegally at the point where a fetal heartbeat is detected, which is around the six-week point in a pregnancy. Many women who seek abortions are unaware they are pregnant at this point in the first trimester.
Vela's spokesperson Jenna Hanes said his office has been in contact with lawmakers in several Texas cities, including Dallas, San Antonio and Houston, who are interested in advancing similar measures to protect abortion.
The idea of these 'sanctuary cities' is an echo of the term used for cities that refused to aid the federal government in enforcing immigration laws.
Prosecutors in New Orleans, Louisiana; Nashville, Tennessee; DeKalb County, Georgia, which is the eastern part of Atlanta; Fairfax County, Virginia; and Durham County, North Carolina have all said abortion-related cases will not be a high priority.
Some have directly said they won't enforce state bans.
New Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Roger Williams said he 'will not shift priority from tackling shootings, rapes and carjackings to investigating the choices women make with regard to their own bodies.' | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2628251583718/karine-jean-pierre-tears-into-louisiana-abortion-bill-that-will-criminalize-abortion-and-punish-providers-with-up-to-10-years-in-prison-and-calls-it-the-latest-step-in-a-growing-attack-against-the-fundamental-freedoms-of-americans | 2022-06-11T06:35:22Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2628251583718/karine-jean-pierre-tears-into-louisiana-abortion-bill-that-will-criminalize-abortion-and-punish-providers-with-up-to-10-years-in-prison-and-calls-it-the-latest-step-in-a-growing-attack-against-the-fundamental-freedoms-of-americans | false | 6 |

New Delhi, June 10
Irdai on Friday extended the ‘use and file’ procedure for most of the life insurance products, thereby allowing insurers to launch new products without prior approval of the regulator.
This comes days after Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (Irdai) had extended similar relaxations to health insurance products as well as general insurance covers. In a press release, Irdai said it has extended the ‘use and file’ procedure for most of the life insurance products. “This move will enable life Insurers to launch most of the products (except individual savings, individual pensions and annuity) in a timely manner according to the dynamic needs of the market,” the regulator said.

James Cahill’s hotly tipped debut about art, privilege and power takes us first to the rarefied environs of Peterhouse College, Cambridge. It’s 1994 and winds of change are blasting through the university. An installation entitled Sick Bed – very much modelled on Tracey Emin’s groundbreaking My Bed – has been erected on the quadrangle. Sick Bed is “an iron frame packed with coil springs … propped up at one end by a mound of empty liquor bottles, crushed beer cans and snarled up clothes. On the grass beneath is an industrial lamp that rotates with slow, robotic gyrations.”
This unprecedented intervention amid cloisters and sandstone is met with mixed reactions. Don Lamb, an art historian at Peterhouse who is writing a monograph about skies in the works of rococo master Tiepolo, is particularly irked. For him, Sick Bed is emblematic of all that is wrong with contemporary art: the modern dismissal of transcendental beauty in favour of garish spectacle. Cahill uses Don’s conservative response to introduce his protagonist’s underlying anxiety about his place in a shifting world and, more broadly, to highlight Don’s characteristic rigidity. Don is something of an ascetic aesthete: adoring of expressiveness on the canvas, but a bastion of prudence in real life. A bachelor and scholar in his early 40s who has been at Peterhouse since his undergraduate days, Lamb’s is “a life of sexual abdication”: erudition dominates, while his gayness is studiously repressed.
Don’s fixation on Sick Bed reaches its apogee when, in inflammatory mood, he appears on Radio 4 and madly rants about the “grotesque” sculpture. Shortly afterwards, he’s whisked away to London to take up a new role at the Brockwell Collection, a dead ringer for Dulwich Picture Gallery. He moves into the London pied-à-terre of his Mephistophelean mentor Valentine Black. Nicknamed The House Beautiful, to Don it is “like a fantasy: soft-lit, lined with silk, filled with French furniture and small masterpieces of Italian mannerism ... ancient statuary [and] tapestries woven with chivalric tales. The place throbs with taste and cultivation.”
The early chapters can feel a little too expositional as Cahill works hard to concretely establish the details of Don’s milieu in Cambridge, his past and his prickly sensibility. At the same time, the plot thunders ahead at breakneck speed, bolting from setpiece to setpiece: lectures, frosty dinners at high table, sun-dappled flashbacks to Don’s arrival at the university. The move to Dulwich, where the pace evens out for a time, is very welcome. As a committed south Londoner, I was impressed by the evocative and accurate rendering of Dulwich’s chilly quaintness, this “oasis of parks and trees and well-kept Victorian villas in Tudor or gothic dress” that Don begins to call home. Cahill’s representations of the surrounding, starkly contrasting areas – Camberwell, Brixton, Oval – are meticulous and atmospheric. The 90s streets pulse with “visual noise and vivid sensation … An unused shop is plastered with posters repeating the name Jah Shaka […] The metal crowns of [two policemen’s] helmets flash erratically ... [there’s] a second-hand furniture shop where half of the stock seems to have been turned out on the pavement … Padded armchairs and battered tables, clapped out sofas, electric fires and a Formica chest rise in ramshackle piles, the flotsam of two decades ago.”.
The embodiment of the verve and unpredictability of this cityscape is artist Ben, a mercurial enfant terrible who breezily challenges Don’s dusty wisdoms, shows him the delights of Soho, takes him to openings of provocative and punky exhibitions. He instigates in Don “a mental rewiring, a vital recalibration”. Occasionally, I wondered if Ben was rendered as sufficiently charismatic to justify Don’s attentions and ardour. What is powerful here, however, is Cahill’s charged depiction of Don’s psychosexual awakening. Don’s desire for Ben is presented as distorting, dangerous, strange – capable of undoing the new life Don is trying to establish for himself in London.
Such delicious unease and pervasive threat give this assured first novel great singularity and a kind of gothic edge. We move from campus satire to something altogether stranger, more shadowy – queerer in every sense of the word. As the novel progresses, Cahill’s interest in concealed or doubled identities becomes more plain. Don’s grip on reality and selfhood slips and the text revels in darkly absurd interludes and flourishes.His friendship with Anna, the wife of a rather oleaginous rival at the Brockwell Collection, is a grounding element amid this mobility and liveliness. Their quiet and considered dialogue gives Cahill the opportunity to show us Don trying to make some sense of his expanding emotional and intellectual horizons. A shamanic drunk causes a scene in the gallery; the House Beautiful seems to possess its own enigmatic hermit. There’s also a brilliantly odd and revelatory episode in which Don passes out at work.
The confidence of Cahill’s sex scenes is worth mentioning too. Occasionally, perhaps in seeking to mirror the rich elaborateness of the artwork Don is researching, Cahill’s descriptions have a slightly melodramatic flavour. In his writing about physicality and bodies combining, however, he beautifully captures disorientation, tenderness and heat without tipping into excess.
This, then, is an electric new novel written by an author skilled in the evocation of vertiginous, heightened emotion. Its enticing oddness particularly extends to its indeterminate ending. After a wonderfully twisty denouement in which there are revelations aplenty, Cahill’s brave and testing conclusion will no doubt prove divisive. Arguably, Don’s fate is pleasingly apposite in its inscrutability. But some readers will find themselves deeply unsettled by a resolution that feels as intangible as the “pure, milky light” of Tiepolo’s celestial paintings. | https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/jun/11/tiepolo-blue-by-james-cahill-review-a-bold-debut-of-psychosexual-awakening | 2022-06-11T06:43:06Z | https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/jun/11/tiepolo-blue-by-james-cahill-review-a-bold-debut-of-psychosexual-awakening | false | 1 |

The Juneteenth holiday and our Macomb heritage
Juneteenth is a federal holiday, commemorating the end of slavery. The word combines “June” and “nineteenth,” for on that day in 1865 a major general and his troops arrived in Galveston and asserted officially that the Union had won the Civil War and all slaves were free. The war had essentially been won since General Lee had surrendered on April 9, but some Confederate forces surrendered later. The last state with slavery was Texas. So, on June 19th the last enslaved people learned they were free. As a result, too, in Galveston, a Black tradition of gathering to celebrate freedom started occurring each year on June 19, and that soon spread.
Macomb residents have joined in celebrating Juneteenth, or “Freedom Day,” for almost 20 years. But actually, our town has a much longer tradition of commemorating the end of slavery, which started back in 1876, America’s centennial year, when local African Americans celebrated Emancipation Day on August 1—a date connected with the British Empire’s Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, marking the end of slavery in Caribbean countries. As the “Macomb Journal” reported shortly afterward,
“The emancipation celebration held by the colored citizens of this city, on Tuesday . . . of this week, was quite a successful affair. The day exercises were held at Blount’s Grove, near the pottery. Speeches were made by Rev. William Webster of Keokuk, A. McDonald of Bushnell, and James B. Fields, of this city. The day ended with ice cream and with [additional] speaking at their church.”
By 1881, the annual Macomb Emancipation Day celebration was drawing many Blacks from places outside the county, such as Galesburg and Quincy, so hundreds of African Americans in western Illinois participated. The “Macomb Journal” reported the event:
“At 11:00 the procession formed, and headed by the Quincy Cornet Band (all colored performers), they marched around the square and then north to Silver Lake [just south of Oakwood Cemetery], where the exercises came off. The time was spent until 2 p.m. in boating, swinging, and refreshing the inner man—both male and female. . . . By this time the audience was augmented by whites, equal in number to the colored brethren, and all were well entertained by two excellent addresses. . . . At 4 p.m. the procession marched back to the square.”
So, Macomb was leading in this region, to not only recall the momentous freeing of slaves but to remind the general public about the experience of, and continuing challenges for, Blacks in America.
By the late 1880s, the event had morphed into an “Emancipation Proclamation Celebration.” So, the date was shifted from August 1 to September 23, the day on which President Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862. (It was designed to go into effect on January 1, 1863, if the South failed to cease its military action—which is what occurred because the southern states continued the war.)
As decades passed, Emancipation Day and Juneteenth celebrations often faded in most American towns, but as late as 1932, an Emancipation Day program was held at the McDonough County courthouse, on September 22. Although not elaborate, it did provide meaningful talks.
Much later, Macomb participated in the revival of Juneteenth commemorations, starting in 2003. Little was printed about the 2003 and 2004 holidays, but fortunately, in 2005 WIU’s newspaper, the “Western Courier,” provided a sizable, photo-illustrated article about the event, written by editor Zach Winger. As that report revealed, it was developed in Macomb by Western’s Brooks Cultural Center and was held in Chandler Park. The central planner, Belinda Carr, who was the director of that cultural center, commented about that event, which drew almost 500 people:
“Overall, the celebration was wonderful. The attendance has been going up every year. The idea is to get the campus and community together—and I think we accomplished that goal.”
The keynote address that year was delivered by WIU sociology professor Essie Rutledge, but speeches were also given by Illinois senator John Sullivan and Western’s provost, Joseph Rallo. There were also activities for children, and most of the food and drinks were donated by local merchants.
As many people know, on June 17, 2021, Juneteenth became a federal holiday, signed into law by President Biden, and at about the same time, the Illinois legislature and Governor Pritzker officially recognized Juneteenth as National Freedom Day in Illinois. So, many U.S. and Illinois communities have been planning celebrations or historical programs for next week-end.
And because June 19th falls on a Sunday in 2022, the actual celebration in Macomb will be on the 18th. This year, it will be sponsored by the Mount Calvary Church of God in Christ. The central location will be at 1500 E. Pierce Street (the church grounds), and the scheduled time is from noon to 4:00. The event will feature speakers, including such leaders as Representative Norine Hammond, Macomb Mayor Mike Inman, and WIU President Guiyou Huang. There will also be singing, poetry, children’s games, raffles, and free food.
Such 2022 events as ours will, then, initiate the officially sanctioned commemoration of Juneteenth, now that it is a national holiday. And Macomb residents should be proud of having such a long local heritage of social commemoration for the end of slavery and of commitment to affirming the great purpose of equal rights for all Americans.

Police arrest teen in death of 15-year-old Hamden boy gunned down walking home from school
Hamden Police have arrested an 18-year-old in the alleged murder of 15-year-old Elijah Gomez, who was found shot to death May 9 near the Farmington Canal Trail.
Jenigh Ward, 18, of Hamden, was arrested Monday and charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder and carrying a pistol without a permit, Hamden Police Acting Chief Timothy F. Wydra said in a press conference Monday afternoon. Ward was scheduled to appear in Meriden Superior Court on June 13 and held on $1 million bond.
Wydra said Gomez “by all accounts was a very good, very decent Hamden High School freshman who certainly didn’t deserve this.
“He was walking home from high school and was gunned down,” Wydra said.
Mayor Lauren Garrett said Elijah Gomez was “a very loved young man,” who loved playing football and basketball and being outside in nature before “his life was cut short by a senseless act of violence.”
“I hope this arrest brings some small measure of relief to his family and friends,” she said.
Gomez’s death has had a profound impact on those who knew him and on the community, she said, adding that more must be done to stop gun violence.
Police believe the incident was not random, Wydra said, but that Gomez was targeted, though they have not yet established a motive.
Wydra credited Det. Andrew Lipford and the Hamden Police Major Crimes Unit with the arrest, in partnership with other law enforcement agencies.
“We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the New Haven Police Shooting Task Force, FBI — New Haven Field Office, U.S. Marshal’s Office — District of Ct — Violent Fugitive Task Force, New Haven State’s Attorney’s Office, State of Connecticut Division of Scientific Services, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, for the significant support and assistance that was provided to us during this investigation,” Wydra said in a release.
Hamden officers responded to a report of shots fired at about 2:30 p.m. May 9 on the Farmington Canal Linear Park , near Treadwell Street, police said. The officers found a gunshot victim on the canal line and despite first responders’ efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner responded to the scene to assist the investigation and ruled the death a homicide, police said.
Police continue to investigate the incident. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Det. Andrew Lipford of the Hamden Police Department Major Crimes Division at (203) 230-4055. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2628263759501/police-arrest-teen-in-death-of-15-year-old-hamden-boy-gunned-down-walking-home-from-school | 2022-06-11T07:04:28Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2628263759501/police-arrest-teen-in-death-of-15-year-old-hamden-boy-gunned-down-walking-home-from-school | true | 3 |
Chadron State Park is turning 101 and park officials have planned several family-friendly activities for the celebration on Saturday.
Chadron State Park Assistant Superintendent Josh May said this year’s celebration features a variety of events, food vendors and live entertainment.
The activities kick off at 7 a.m. with the Run for the Hills race. Registration is from 7:15-7:55 a.m. and the race starts at 8 a.m.
Race director Donna Ritzen said this year’s course was changed.
“The path is on the northwest side of the state park and there are some pretty good hills,” she said. “We’ve lost a lot of volunteers so we had to change the path of our course a little bit.
“The half marathon runners will be doing four laps. We were trying to do a lap around the whole park, but we just didn’t have enough volunteers, so we changed that.”
The top finishers in the 5K, 10K and half marathon will receive a hat and a mug. Participation medals will be handed out to half-marathon participants.

“Like any trails, you might want to bring sunblock and we’ll have some Deet,” Ritzen said. “There might be ticks out there, so they might want to bring something for themselves for ticks.”
Sunblock, Deet and masks will be available at registration. Participants can follow the signs to the registration booth, located in the northwest corner of the park, near the turnoff to the lookout.
Ritzen said the Twisted Crawdad mountain bike races were canceled due to no pre-registrations.
Park activities begin at 9 a.m. with free paddle boat rides until 2 p.m. Life jackets are required for anyone under 16 years old and adults must have life jackets in the boat as per Game and Parks rules.
Free kayak rides will also be available at the pond starting at 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
“It’s not on the flier, but at the same time as the paddle boat rides, kids and adults can give a kayak a try if they’ve never been on one,” May said.
Numerous exhibits and vendors will be set up in the park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Around the park’s shooting range, there are numerous activities. A bounce house will be set up for kids and a scavenger hunt is planned. Naturalist activities will include an interactive animal exhibits with furs, pelts and skulls on display. Wildlife displays will feature big horn sheep skulls and mountain lion tracking tools. A blacksmith will be doing demonstrations, bending horseshoes into unique shapes.
The public can also get in some target practice at the shooting range.
“The shooting range opens at 10 a.m. and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., it’s free shoot,” May said. “They can shoot one round of archery and one round of pellet gun.”
The park is limiting people to one round each to limit costs for ammunition.
Also from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. is a car, bike and truck show behind the office.
Food vendors as well as a beer garden will be open throughout the day from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. They will be located near the tennis courts.
After grabbing a bite to eat, the public can enjoy a canoe regatta race, hosted by Chadron Kiwanis. Canoes and life jackets will be provided. Registration starts at 2 p.m. on the northwest side of the pond and races start at 2:30 p.m.
“It’s a canoe race on the pond,” May said. “We’ll close down our paddle boats and kayaks so nobody is out there and then they set up a couple floating milk jugs out there. It’s side-by-side with two people in each canoe racing at the same time.”
The fastest team in each round will advance until one team is left standing.
May participated in the regatta, saying the event is entertaining.
“It’s pretty funny,” he said. “We did compete, but we did not make it past our round. It was not good. We’ve had a couple of employees do it last year and they did capsize their canoe.”
The evening events begin with a Children’s Treasure Dive at 5 p.m. at the pool.
“We throw in quarters, nickels, dimes and some washers, so it’s like an Easter egg hunt, but under water,” he said. “If kids get a washer, they can turn it into one of the lifeguards for a prize.”
Festivities wrap up with a live music performance by the Bar Flies at Sports Field from 7-10 p.m.
Visitors can park in any open spots throughout the park Saturday, until 4 p.m. Visitors are asked to follow the signs for parking in the evening. There will be a tram service to the field for the live concert.
May said, “In the morning (the tram service) will be just for fun. People can use it to get around. In the evening, we’ll be parking cars and using the tram service to get people to and from the ball field where the Bar Flies are at.”
Chadron State Park activities are free and open to the public, however, a park pass is required. Daily in state passes are $6 or $30 for an annual pass. Out of state daily passes are $12 and $60 for an annual pass.

Blinken warns Iran shutting IAEA cameras will deepen nuclear crisis
US secretary of state says Tehran’s decision to remove 27 surveillance cameras will only lead to ‘further economic and political isolation’
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Thursday that Iran is risking greater isolation and heightened tensions after the country began removing cameras meant to monitor its nuclear program, but said a return to the nuclear deal, while under threat, was not off the table.
Iran started removing 27 surveillance cameras from nuclear sites across the country, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said Thursday, a day after the UN atomic watchdog formally censured Iran over its lack of cooperation with nuclear inspectors.
“The only outcome of such a path will be a deepening nuclear crisis and further economic and political isolation for Iran,” Blinken said.
Rather than address the IAEA’s concerns, Blinken said, Iran’s response was instead “to threaten further nuclear provocations and further reductions of transparency.”
“Such steps would be counterproductive and would further complicate our efforts to return to full implementation of the JCPOA,” he said.
Iran did not immediately acknowledge it was removing the 27 cameras, though it earlier threatened it could take more punitive steps. State media aired footage Thursday of workers disconnecting two IAEA cameras.
“We hope that they come to their senses and respond to Iran’s cooperation with cooperation,” Behrouz Kamalvandi, an Iranian nuclear program spokesman, said Wednesday of the IAEA officials. “It is not acceptable that they show inappropriate behavior while Iran continues to cooperate.”
Iran’s hard-line President Ebrahim Raisi struck a much more combative tone Thursday while visiting the central city of Shahr-e Kord.
“Do you assume that we withdraw because of resolutions?” he asked. “In the name of God and in the name of the nation, Iran will not withdraw from its stance a single step.”
Earlier Thursday, IAEA head Rafael Grossi said the removal of the cameras used by the UN nuclear watchdog to monitor Tehran’s activities could deal a “fatal blow” to negotiations to restore the deal, which have been stalled for months.
The original agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, aimed at preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. It was unilaterally abrogated in 2018 by the US administration of Donald Trump, and Iran has slowly resumed activities that have violated its commitments to the deal.
Since coming to office in January 2021, US President Joe Biden has sought to revive the agreement, offering to lift sanctions on the country in exchange for Tehran agreeing to limitations and monitoring of its nuclear development program.
Blinken said that the basis to revive the JCPOA has been on the table since March, but said Iran was holding it up with “additional demands that are extraneous” to the agreement.
One Iranian demand holding up a deal has been that the United States removes its official terrorist group designation from the country’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. The Biden administration has rejected that demand, saying the issue is unconnected to the JCPOA.

Given the self-inflicted economic harm from Brexit and the absence of meaningful post-Brexit opportunities, this is no surprise; the country is also struggling with higher inflation than our EU neighbours and other adverse post-Brexit economic consequences, for example the exclusion of our scientific community from world-leading EU programmes.
This also highlights the stark disconnect between Scotland’s theoretical wealth and its economic reality, and explains why equivalent size developed countries (Denmark and Ireland being two neighbouring examples) are much better off than Scotland.
According to the World Bank, GDP per person in Denmark is $60,230 and in Ireland $93,350 – compared with a low and flatlining $46,483 for the UK. In terms of per capita GDP, both of these “little” countries are significantly more prosperous than us.
British government GERS accounting reports Scotland’s notional deficit as £36bn. However GERS allocates costs of large ‘national’ projects to Scotland as a GB Region, whether we use them or not, such as the HS2 rail project (Phase 1 Budget £45 billion), Kent’s Hinkley Point nuclear power station (estimated cost £25bn) and London’s CrossRail (estimated cost £19 bn).
This explains the disconnect. Scotland (population 5.3 million) is trapped inside an isolated and declining GB economy and charged a contribution towards our larger neighbour’s capital infrastructure programmes. In contrast Denmark (pop. 5.8m) and Ireland (pop. 4.9m) are flourishing and connected.
The only route to a successful and prosperous Scotland, that is able to realise the benefits of its own considerable wealth, is independence and membership of the EU single market.

Healthy disrespect for Murray’s stance
If Ian Murray’s English Labour party can’t get a grip on the health service in Wales, what makes him think it can do any better in Scotland (News, 9 June)? Waiting lists in Wales have increased 51 per cent since the pandemic’s onset, with 700,000 patients, a quarter of the population, waiting for treatment.
As for England, when it comes to A&E waiting times, Scotland’s health service is 22 per cent better than England’s and leads the UK. Due to a lack of beds, NHS England has sent 100 women to Scotland for eating disorder treatment since 2017 at a cost of £10m. Scotland has nearly twice as many patient beds as England or Northern Ireland and 15 per cent more than Wales.
Scotland has met skin cancer diagnosis targets for more than 96 per cent of referrals and has increased the number of radiologists to detect other cancers. It has improved annual psychological services performance despite a massive increase in demand.
The reason Scotland’s health service outperforms the rest of the UK is simple. Staffing for nurses, midwives, doctors, dentists and allied health professionals is at a record high and has increased for ten years in a row. Scotland has 76 GPs per 100k whereas England has just 58. The Scottish Government, which must balance its budget because it lacks the borrowing powers of an independent nation, has still managed to resource its health service better than any other part of the UK. It has retained its 14 health boards and resisted privatisation, unlike England. Oh, and prescriptions are free.

The National Council for Civic Education (NCCE) on Saturday began a 9-day community engagement forum to sensitise Gambians on early warning signals emerging at the community level.
The countrywide engagements are funded by the UN PeaceBuilding Fund (PBF) through UNICEF under the theme “Inclusive Approaches to Early Warning: Addressing Emerging Peace and Security Challenges at The Grassroots.
It is meant to discuss and critically diagnose and analyse challenges and threats to peace and security through community early warning mechanisms.
NCCE program manager, Yusupha Bojang, explained that the sensitisation forums will be characterized by face-to- face reflection sessions in the Upper River Region (URR), Central River Region (CRR) & Lower River Region (LRR) targeting over 315 participants from women and youth groups, community leaders, chiefs, alkalolou, village development committees and physically challenged persons among others.
According to Bojang; “The Gambia has made great gains in the consolidation of democracy since the removal of an authoritarian rule five years ago, however, this transitioning has presented new challenges such as widespread polarization characterized by the use of abusive language, hate speech, misinformation, provocative actions, intimidation, and confrontations in public discourse. Overcoming these challenges to place the country in a strong and stable democratic trajectory, require inclusive and collective efforts by all and sundry.”
He expressed optimism that the engagement will foster collaboration between the stakeholders, enhance timely response to violent threats through early warning systems and promote the maintenance of peace, security and social cohesion.
The program manager reiterated NCCE’s commitment to continue facilitating such interactions to further build harmony and lasting communal peace as well as consolidate a mature political culture that allows all citizens to fully exercise their civic rights and responsibilities, as well as participate effectively in nurturing and consolidating our democracy.
Ndey Bandeh, Secretary General of the Basse Mother’s club, thanked NCCE for always reaching out to them in preaching peace and tolerance among the populace.
She acknowledged the Council’s efforts towards raising civic awareness of the citizens especially in the rural areas. | https://standard.gm/gambia-national-news/ncce-engages-gambians-on-early-warning-signals-at-community-level0/ | 2022-06-11T07:16:51Z | https://standard.gm/gambia-national-news/ncce-engages-gambians-on-early-warning-signals-at-community-level0/ | true | 1 |
US to end pre-flight tests for arrivals
Travellers to the US will no longer have to provide a negative Covid-19 test to board their flights from Sunday.
The pandemic has "shifted to a new phase" amid wide update of vaccines, effective drugs and immunity induced by infection and inoculation, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said as it announced the move on Friday.
These factors have caused the risk of severe illness and death in the US to drop, the country's health authority said.
The US travel industry had been calling for fully vaccinated passengers to be exempted from testing rules for some time.
Travellers with their final destination in the US have been required to take a test on the day before travel and were only allowed on board a flight with a negative result.
The rule applies regardless of vaccination status and to both foreigners and Americans.
Those who have recently recovered from Covid-19 and have a note from a doctor or health authority are exempted. There is no testing rule for domestic US flights and mask rules have also been lifted.
The US travel industry had called for an end to testing rules as quickly as possible. Industry firms including airlines, airports, hotel chains cited the economic impact of the measures in a letter to the White House coronavirus response coordinator.
They also pointed to the fact that there was no testing requirement at land borders with Canada and Mexico.

Taiwan threatens WTO action after China stops grouper fish imports
TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan's government threatened to take Beijing to the World Trade Organization on Saturday after China suspended the import of grouper fish from the island saying it had detected banned chemicals, the latest agricultural spat between the two.
Last year China suspended imports of pineapples, sugar apples and wax apples from Taiwan, citing concerns about pests, which Taiwan strongly denied.
Relations between Taipei and Beijing, which claims democratically ruled Taiwan as its own territory, are at their lowest in decades, with China increasing political and military pressure to get the island to accept its sovereignty.
China's customs administration said late Friday it had repeatedly detected banned chemicals in grouper from Taiwan and would suspend their import from Monday "in order to prevent risks and protect the health and lives of consumers".
Taiwan's Council of Agriculture Minister Chen Chi-chung dismissed the accusation, saying there was nothing wrong with the fish and they would provide data to China and request a response from them.
If China does not respond then Taiwan won't rule out taking the issue to the WTO, he told reporters.
Cabinet spokesman Lo Ping-cheng said that China has been repeatedly boycotting and blocking Taiwanese agricultural and aquatic products "in a manner inconsistent with international practices".
This not only harms relations between Taiwan and China "but also makes the Taiwanese people even more disgusted by the Chinese Communist Party authorities' wanton suppression of Taiwan".
While most Taiwanese grouper is consumed at home, China accounts for some 90% of the exported product.

BEIJING (AFP) - Eight people have been arrested for a vicious attack on a group of women at a restaurant in China, police said on Saturday (June 11), in a case that has sparked outrage over predatory sexual behaviour.
Footage of the incident widely circulated online shows a man placing his hand on a woman's back as she shares a meal with two companions at a barbecue restaurant in northern China's Hebei province.
After the woman pushes him away, the man strikes her before others drag her outside and deal a barrage of blows as she lies on the ground. Another woman is also knocked to the floor.
The video renewed an online debate about sexual harassment and gender-based violence in China where the conversation around women's rights has grown in recent years despite pressure from a patriarchal society, internet censorship and patchy legal support.
Campaigners say domestic abuse remains pervasive and under-reported while prominent feminists also face regular police harassment and detention.
Web censors blocked keywords linked to the #MeToo movement after a wave of women accused university professors of sexual harassment in 2018.
Police in Tangshan city on Saturday said they had arrested eight people on suspicion of violent assault and "provoking trouble", while a search for one other suspect was ongoing.
Two women treated at hospital following the incident were "in stable conditions and not in mortal danger", while two others sustained minor injuries, authorities said Friday.
The attack generated hundreds of millions of comments on social media, where users slammed predatory behaviour and urged authorities to crack down on violence against women.
"All of this could happen to me, could happen to any of us," said one commenter in a post liked over 100,000 times.
"How is this sort of thing still happening in 2022?" wrote another. "Please give them criminal sentences, and don't let any of them get away."
Last year, a Chinese man was sentenced to death for murdering his ex-wife as she live-streamed on social media, in a case that shocked the nation. | https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/china-restaurant-attack-sparks-outcry-over-violence-against-women | 2022-06-11T07:50:33Z | https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/china-restaurant-attack-sparks-outcry-over-violence-against-women | true | 13 |

Star Western Bulldogs midfielder Bailey Smith has admitted to indulging in behaviour in late 2021 that he is “deeply ashamed” of after an image circulated on social media on Saturday that showed him holding a small plastic bag containing a white powder.
A separate video later emerged that appeared to show Smith sniffing an unknown substance at a party before he wiped his nose as a woman’s voice is heard saying: “I need a straw”.
The club issued a statement, in response to the social media content, on Saturday afternoon, which referred to an “illicit substance”. Western Bulldogs CEO Ameet Bains and Smith were both quoted in the statement and expressed disappointment and remorse.
“We are extremely disappointed to have observed social media content showing Bailey Smith with an illicit substance,” Bains said.
“We absolutely do not condone our players being involved with illicit substances and firmly believe players are well-educated on what constitutes appropriate behaviour.”
Smith said: “I have recently been made aware of the presence of social media content that shows me with an illicit substance.”
Sources familiar with Smith’s situation confirmed to The Age that the photograph was taken late last year, at a time when he had taken a mental health break from pre-season training, while the video was also shot between last season and this year.
The out of contract 21-year-old, who has played 77 games, is one of the AFL’s biggest stars with a huge social media following and marketing reach. He has been a community ambassador for the clothing brand Cotton On and appears in Kayo’s “Your Team” campaign.
A contrite Smith on Saturday vowed to “learn the lessons of my past and be a better person in the future”.
“In confronting this, the temptation is to speak in vague generalities and avoid the issue. However, I am determined to learn the lessons of my past and be a better person in the future,” Smith said.
“After much reflection, I am now in a position to confess to indulging in behaviours in late 2021 of which I am deeply ashamed.
“I do not have an excuse for those behaviours, however the state of my mental health over that period, post-grand final, dramatically deteriorated, and I spiralled out of control, leading to poor decision-making and actions at the time. All of this resulting in the leave I took from football at the commencement of pre-season training late last year.
“The depth of my emotions over that period, coupled with some of my behaviours, have reminded me that, as a person, I am still very much a work-in-progress.”
Smith took a mental health break from pre-season training in December but returned for the last session before Christmas. He has played 10 games this season but is set to miss the next two games after headbutting Geelong’s Zach Tuohy.
“I know I have obligations beyond myself, not just contractually – but in terms of the example I set through the decisions I make, and I will be better,” Smith said.
“I have made mistakes. I am very aware of that, and I fully own it.”
Smith apologised to supporters, his family, teammates, the club and the league as well as sponsors, with Bains saying while the club did not excuse Smith’s behaviour their responsibility now is to protect the player’s health and wellbeing.
“We are encouraged that this year, Bailey has successfully put steps in place to ensure he can manage his mental health and be strong in his decision-making, while being able to perform to the best of his ability on the field. This has been reflected in his strong on-field performances across the 2022 AFL season,” Bains said.
“The club has supported Bailey through this process, and we will continue to work closely with him and provide him the support he needs, as he continues his journey as a Bulldogs player.”
The Bulldogs and the AFL integrity unit will continue an investigation into the image and the video, with Smith likely to face penalties.
The AFL at the time of print had not spoken to Smith but they, not the club, will determine what sanctions, if any, are suitable.
The league released a statement on Saturday saying players were well-educated about the harms associated with illicit drug use, and they will interview Smith in the coming days. It’s unclear how long it will take before the investigation concludes.
Smith could face a strike under the AFL’s illicit drugs policy.
“I have made mistakes, but I resolve to learn from each and to do all I can to avoid letting myself down, and those around me,” Smith said.
Under the AFL’s illicit drugs policy, which is being reviewed, players are subject to hair tests during the off-season with clubs given de-identified data detailing the number of positive tests and the type of drugs being used. However, players do not receive a strike.
The information may be used to target test individuals in season, with any positive tests in season subject to the illicit drugs policy if not on game day. If a player tests positive to an illicit substance on game day, they are subject to World Anti-Doping Agency rules. If the substance is illicit but not performance-enhancing, they may receive a three-month ban.
AFL Players’ Association CEO Paul Marsh said: “Bailey is a young man who has made a mistake, but importantly has owned that mistake and, even more importantly, has put steps in place to learn from it and grow as a person as a result of it.
“The AFL environment is high-pressure and high profile, and Bailey has previously shared his battles with mental health.
“When issues such as this arise, there are typically two alternative approaches people think should be taken. Condemn, sanction and shame the player involved, or support, educate and try to use the issue as an opportunity for growth.
“The AFLPA will support Bailey through this time, and we are confident the Western Bulldogs will do likewise.”
As of Saturday, sources could not confirm to The Age the origin of the photographs, and the club is attempting to gather precise details before deciding on what action to take.

In Midst of Energy Crisis, Mysterious Explosion in Texas Takes One of World's Largest Fuel Plants Offline
Oh, great– another addition to the energy crisis.
One of the world’s largest natural gas liquefaction plants suffered an explosion on Wednesday.
The cause of the blast is not known, but the Freeport LNG plant on Quintana Island — about 70 miles south of Houston — will be out of service for at least three weeks, the Houston Chronicle reported.
That’s especially bad news for Britain and other areas of Europe since the plant is a major exporter to those regions and they’re especially dependent as they struggle to get themselves off Russian oil following the invasion of Ukraine, according to The Washington Post.
Europe also gets 40 percent of its natural gas from Russia, with the U.S. being the world’s largest exporter of the commodity.
KHOU said there were reports of rolling thunder stemming from the explosion, with smoke seen billowing up from the facility. There were no injuries, according to a company spokeswoman.
As a precaution, authorities evacuated people near the plant. Later, only local residents could return, with the area closed to visitors.
A long suspension of the LNG facility’s production could affect world energy prices, especially with the usual summer demand increases.
“The world was already teetering on the edge, so to speak, for global LNG supply-demand,” Alex Munton of Rapidan Energy Group said, according to the Post. “And the incident at Freeport — I wouldn’t say it pushes the world over the edge — but I think [it’s] a bit closer.”
The Ukraine war and problems in dealing with Russia have put pressure on European gas prices, according to Kevin Book of the ClearView Energy Partners research firm.
Shortly after the explosion, Dutch gas futures jumped nearly 9 percent.
Scandanavia and North Africa also supply Europe with natural gas, but production problems plague the ability of those areas to meet demand, the Post reported.
Previously, Europe used long-term contracts for gas purchases, but, hoping to secure lower prices, it switched to buying on the spot market, aligning it with U.S. practices, Munton said.
LNG is more amenable to spot market sales compared with long-term contract sales made through pipelines, which tend to be dedicated to specific customers.
That works well, according to Munton. However, he said, “The elephant in the room is: What happens if things fall apart with respect to Russia?”
Pandemic lockdowns have suppressed Chinese demand for LNG, but that’s changing as the Chinese are working to increase domestic production and Munton predicts a possible increase in LNG demand with reduced supply.
High demand, low supply? Higher prices, of course.
Oh, and there are more energy issues — a hot summer is predicted for this year, and there have been power grid problems in Texas and Louisiana.
Also, 2022 has been given a greater than normal risk for hurricanes. And where is the Freeport facility that provides 20 percent of U.S. domestic LNG and loads some 64 billion cubic feet on export tankers each month?
In hurricane country.
“There are always going to be risks when you have a hurricane-prone area that happens to be the site of most industrial activity for a given sector,” Book said. “Risks are concentrated in the Gulf of Mexico by geography. Energy infrastructure is exposed.”

Missouri bride desperate to get stolen wedding photos returned
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV/Gray News) - A bride in Missouri is heartsick after someone stole her wedding photographer’s laptop with nearly all photos of the special day on it.
Now, she’s hoping someone either spots, or has the gear and calls the police to get the images back to her.
It was May 15 when Blakley Swanson Clement got married at Our Lady of Sorrows Church. A professional photographer caught so many precious moments, including when her father first saw her in the wedding dress.
“It was wonderful. It was everything we were hoping for and dreamed for,” Clement described.
The day flew by, but she knew she’d have photos to relive those fleeting moments and to pass down to future generations.
“Thinking about starting a family, that we can show our kids our wedding photos one day,” Clement reflected.
Now, all she has is a few snapshots taken by family and friends of the bride and groom.
Her photographer told her some of the professional shots were saved to the cloud, but nothing with the entire family at the church or on the Nelson lawn where they gathered after ceremony for portraits.
“To know that they’re gone is just really heartbreaking,” she said. “It’s just hard to process that I don’t have photos of me and Devin, and my parents or his parents, my siblings, his siblings and things like that.”
That’s because her hired photographer stopped at Loose Park in Kansas City the day after her wedding to get some photos of her own. She kept her MacBook in her car while shooting. When she returned to the car, it was broken into. The laptop and four cameras were gone.
The photographer gave Clement the devastating news this week and filed a police report.
Clement is hoping it’s not too late to track down the images.
“Whoever has these items in their possession, you know, find it in your heart to just anonymously come forward and return them if at all possible. Just because it would mean the world to us,” she pleaded.
If you have information to help Swanson Clement and her husband, call the KCPD’s Metro Division Property Crimes Division at 816-581-0679.

The 9 Best Vacations for Southern Horse Lovers
The South is brimming with vacations for all types of travelers. Depending on your interests, you can head to see historic buildings in Charleston, experience the French cuisine of New Orleans, or hike the gorgeous mountains in Boone. However, for animal lovers, several Southern destinations are perfect for a different style of traveling: equine vacations. The South is known for everything from modern-day cowboys and wild horses to its upscale polo matches, making Southern states ideal for a horse-centered trip. From stays at BYOH (bring your own horse) ranches to getting up close to some of the world's most talented steeds, here are the nine best vacations for Southern horse lovers.
Outer Banks, North Carolina
When people think about wild animals, horses probably aren't the first thing that crosses their minds. However, around 100 wild horses that descended from Spanish Mustangs still roam free in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Because the areas they frequent, such as Corolla, Ocracoke Island, and Carova, are remote, the best way to see these herds is to book an off-road 4x4 tour. Just remember: there are guidelines against feeding or getting within 50 feet of the wild steeds. The Wild Horse Preserve at Grace Wynds also has farm tours, domesticated wild horses, and educational programs if you want to delve deeper into learning and get closer to these stately creatures.
1 of 9
Denton, Texas
When considering equestrian vacations, perhaps one of the first states that comes to mind is Texas, which is logical considering its cowboy history. Denton is located in Northern Texas, just above the Dallas/Fort Worth area. What is unique about the region is that there are multiple ranches, several of which can provide a personalized experience for your family. For example, sign up for a summer horsing camp at RNR Stables, see wildlife from horseback over the 39 miles of trails at Marshall Creek Ranch, or ride lakeside at Black Mustang Ranch, which lies at the entrance of a state park.
2 of 9
Louisville, Kentucky
Louisville's name is synonymous with bourbon and the Kentucky Derby. Known as "the most exciting two minutes in sports," the derby encompasses an entire month filled with events, which leaves visitors many options beyond just enjoying this short sprint. Typically occurring on the first Saturday in May—with the only two exceptions being during World War II and the pandemic—the Kentucky Derby boasts horse-centric activities coupled with folks sporting the height of fashion by wearing lovely dresses, seersucker suits, and of course, flamboyant hats.
However, if you'd like to avoid crowds and enjoy a more relaxed horse-centric vacation in Louisville, plenty of under-the-radar events are happening throughout the year. Churchill Downs, where the derby is held, hosts many other races from April through July, October, and November. One perk is that you can still have a derby-esque experience and wear your Southern best while sipping a Mint Julep and devouring a piece of famous Derby Pie.
3 of 9
Wellington, Florida
Florida has lovely weather year-round, which makes Wellington an ideal spot to visit any time of year. If you'd like to vacation during winter, head to the Winter Equestrian Festival at Wellington International, which hosts events throughout the year. To see horses competing in sport, catch a match at the International Polo Club, where you can make reservations to dine at sunset as you watch live polo. If you'd like to learn more about the sport, the club offers lessons geared towards any skill level. Wellington is also close to the beach, making it perfect for those who want to spend time in the sun.
4 of 9
Madison, Georgia
Some folks take their pets on vacation, and why should equine lovers be the exception? If you want to take your horse on your annual trip, head to a farm near Atlanta, where you can treat your steed to an experience in a new setting. Southern Cross Guest Ranch has a bed and breakfast, plenty of riding trails, and horses available for those who don't want to bring their own.
5 of 9
Assateague Island, Maryland
Although many locations offer equestrian centers and horse-centric events, Assateague Island in Maryland and Chincoteague Island in Virginia have unique opportunities: Animal lovers can see wild horses. Officially called ponies due to their short, stocky nature, they are encouraged by Saltwater Cowboys (yes, that's an official name) to swim from Assateague to Chincoteague and back each July in the annual Pony Swim.
It's speculated that the horses most likely arrived on Assateague Island via shipwreck or abandonment by early colonists. The swim has a variety of purposes, including veterinary checks for the horses and an auction to help control the size of the herd. The journey of the horses and the festivities happen over several days, which makes it an exciting event to center a vacation around. Plus, it's something horse lovers should experience at least once in their lifetime.
6 of 9
Ocala, Florida
Located in Marion County, Florida, Ocala has been named the Horse Capital of the World, and rightfully so. Several Kentucky Derby winners spent training time or were born and bred in the city, which is only part of Ocala's claim to fame. Due to year-round warm weather, events, such as the Live Oak International competition and the Ocala Breeders' Sale, happen throughout the year, making it easy to plan a vacation during any month. While in town, you can also visit a horse farm, go horseback riding, and immerse yourself in the area's deep equestrian history.
7 of 9
Middleburg, Virginia
Named so because it's halfway between Alexandria and Winchester, Virginia, Middleburg is low on residents—there are less than 1,000—but high on equestrian activities. It's home to America's first organized fox hunt, established in 1840. Events, such as The Middleburg Hunt, take you back in time as folks dress in traditional fox hunting gear and ride horseback with their hounds alongside. Middleburg also features several horse races, shows, and jumping competitions throughout the year, but perhaps the highlight is taking a self-driving stable tour, where you can visit farms and stables that aren't open any other time of year.
8 of 9
Lexington, Kentucky
Lexington, also nicknamed Horse Country, is barely 80 miles away from Louisville, yet it has a horse culture all its own. Multiple farms are open for touring throughout the year, so you and your family can have an up-close experience with horses. Whether you're in the market for a horse or not, another highlight is the Kentucky Equine Adoption Center, a 72-acre farm that helps all breeds find their forever home and where visitors can learn about horses and feed them. In addition, many of the farms offer private tours so that you can tailor your experience. Lexington is also home to the Kentucky Horse Park, where you can camp, see competitions, and visit the four museums for a complete equine experience. | https://www.southernliving.com/travel/horse-vacations | 2022-06-11T08:26:25Z | https://www.southernliving.com/travel/horse-vacations | true | 1 |

A look at what's happening around the majors today:
___
Dansby Swanson and the Braves will try for their 10th straight win when they host Pittsburgh. Atlanta already is on the longest winning streak in the National League this season.
Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and the Phillies go for their ninth win in a row when they face Arizona. Philadelphia is 7-0 under interim manager Rob Thomson — he is the first manager to win his first seven games since Joe Morgan won 12 straight with the Boston Red Sox in 1988.
The Athletics, meanwhile, have lost 10 in a row after Cleveland rallied for three runs in the bottom of the ninth for a 3-2 victory.
The A’s are struck in their first double-digit skid since 2011 and have been outscored 60-20 during the streak. Oakland has the worst record in the American League at 20-40.
CLINT CUT
The up-and-down career of Clint Frazier took another turn when he was cut by the Chicago Cubs.
The 27-year-old outfielder was designated for assignment in a surprise decision by the team. He was at Yankee Stadium on Friday afternoon for the start of the Chicago-New York series and his Cubs uniform was hanging in his locker.
“He was upset. Emotional, would be a good word,” manager David Ross said. “I think he likes it here a lot. I think he believes in his baseball skills, which we do, too. But it’s just one of those really tough decisions we have to make sometimes.”
The 27-year-old Frazier, once a highly rated prospect, was given only 37 at-bats by the Cubs following his rocky tenure with the Yankees. Signed to a $1.5 million, one-year contract, he was batting .216 with three doubles, one RBI and a stolen base in 19 games. He missed more than a month because of an appendectomy.
The Cubs have seven days to trade, release or send him outright to the minors if he clears waivers.
SURGERY SETBACKS
Tampa Bay reliever Andrew Kittredge and Detroit starter Casey Mize are both headed for Tommy John surgery.
Kittredge, an All-Star last season, is the latest Rays reliever to be sidelined. He joined Nick Anderson, J.T. Chargois, Pete Fairbanks and J.P. Feyereisen as key late-inning options who are currently on the injured list.
The 32-year-old righty had just returned five days ago from a 17-game absence due to lower back tightness. He has five saves in eight attempts and a 3.15 ERA in 17 games.
Mize, the No. 1 pick in the June 2018 draft, has a 7-13 record with a 4.29 ERA in 39 big league appearances, all of them starts for the Tigers. The 25-year-old has been on the injured list with a right elbow sprain since April 15 after making two starts this season.
OTTO A NO GO
Rangers rookie Glenn Otto has been put on the COVID-19-related injured list, putting his run of successful starts on pause.
The 26-year-old righty had been scheduled to pitch Friday night against the White Sox in Chicago.
Otto is 4-2 with 4.24 ERA in eight starts. He has won his last three starts with a 2.25 ERA in the span.

Op-Ed: As Congress Focused on Jan. 6 Investigation, Social Security Quietly Admitted When Its Cash Flow Will Fail
As the House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the United States Capitol starts public hearings, we must ask what motivates those on the committee.
Is the sole concern the ideals of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution? Or is it to get the media to attack and undermine political opponents? It is indeed possible that infractions of the law can be investigated without a carnival platform designed to mobilize the media and distract the nation.
The committee has already announced on its website that Jan. 6, 2021, was “one of the darkest days of our democracy.”
Really? Alongside a civil war in which some three-quarters of a million Americans were killed fighting over what America is about, one incident of a few hours in which law enforcement finally prevailed was one of our “darkest days”?
There are just 24 hours in any day, so time taken on one matter means attention not given to other matters. If these members of Congress really cared about the principles of freedom and democracy, they wouldn’t be ignoring pressing issues in which the freedom of American citizens is being blatantly violated.
Consider, for example, that as the Jan. 6 investigation monopolizes media attention, on June 2 the trustees of Medicare and Social Security issued their annual reports.
Both systems are bankrupt and in dismal financial shape.
The cash shortfall of Medicare in 2021 was $409 billion. The projection is that Social Security will be out of adequate cash flow to meet obligations to retirees by 2035 — just 13 years from now.
The trustees estimate that there are only adequate funds in Social Security to meet 80 percent of benefits in 2035. The payroll tax, now 12.4 percent, would have to be raised 26 percent in order to generate sufficient funds to meet those obligations.
In other words, every working American age 55 and below who plans to collect Social Security benefits at age 67 is paying a payroll tax into a system that cannot provide the benefits promised.
Can you imagine a private insurance company sending a letter to policyholders saying that in 13 years it will only be able to meet 80 percent of the promised payments? The lawsuits would be flying.
Let’s forget about the fiscal situation of the system for a minute and whether it is even worth saving this program. How about the issue of freedom that our representatives want us to believe they care about so much?
Take a young citizen, age 21, fresh with a new degree, entering the workforce for the first time. Immediately, 12.4 percent of his paycheck is deducted into a system he involuntarily enters in which there are inadequate funds to provide promised benefits.
Shouldn’t this young worker be able to say, “No, thank you, I don’t want to participate”?
Even if the system were not broken, in our free country, shouldn’t everyone be free to manage his own retirement?
According to the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, the average return of Social Security over the last 40 years was 1 percent. Over the same period, the average return on stocks was 6 percent.
Back to this young worker. By the calculations of the CUP, this single worker, if he earned the median national income and was able to invest 10 percent of his income into a diversified stock and bond portfolio over 40 years instead of paying the payroll tax, could have an annual income at retirement of $55,143 against $19,646 from Social Security.
So, hey, members of the select committee. Enough of pretending that you care about American freedom. How about wrapping up the carnival and getting down to the real challenges every American faces today?

Self-proclaimed ‘hot mum’ Jen Ferguson says she won’t stop dressing however she likes - even if others say she should appear more mum-like.
Appearing on the TV show My Extraordinary Family Jen revealed that she gets judged all the time for her looks and outfits, and she’s even been called a gold-digger as her fiancé is twelve years older than her.
At 31 and pregnant, Jen says she still likes to “dress like the young girls” and that she wants to feel “sexy.” She adds that while she covers up slightly more now, due to pregnancy, she doesn’t want to stop being a ‘hot mum’ anytime soon.
Asked if his mum’s style embarrassed him, Jen’s son says “sometimes,” although he later adds that if she dressed and acted differently “she’d be different to how she is now, and I don’t want anything different to how she is.”
Talking about people’s reaction to her style, Jen says: “I honestly think that a lot of women are jealous because they don’t have the confidence I have. So I have kids and I can’t be hot anymore? No way.”
Showing off some of her outfits, Jen adds that she often faces judgement: “I think the biggest problem is that they think I’m a mom, I have sons, so I shouldn’t be showing this.

“But come on, we all have a chest, we all have a body.”
Another thing Jen feels she gets judged for is her choice to have cosmetic surgery, including a breast augmentation which she describes as one the best decisions she has ever made in her life.
“I love getting plastic surgery,” she says, “it makes me feel more confident. You know, some people disagree with that and they say ‘why would you do that? That’s so vain’
“But you know what? I have insecurities just like probably all other women in the world, and for me if I’m able to afford it, and able to do it, then I do it.”
She’s also faced criticism for her relationship with her fiance, with people calling her a gold digger as he is older and has money. Criticising this view Jen says, “I love him because I love him.”
Jen has one son from a previous relationship, while her fiancé Stephen has two children from a previous marriage, the couple are now expecting their first child together.
“My family has not reacted very well to my relationship with Jen,” says Stephen, “they’re very stubborn, they’re very old school and old-fashioned.”

However, his sons seem perfectly happy with their step-mum, and the couple tend to have a full house with all the children present.
With another child on the way, Jen appears to be dressed somewhat more modestly in some of her most recent Instagram pictures. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/fabulous/8994836/pregnant-hot-mum-wont-change/ | 2022-06-11T08:38:17Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/fabulous/8994836/pregnant-hot-mum-wont-change/ | false | 4 |
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has flagged multiple vulnerabilities in browsers such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, which the agency said could be exploited by cyber attackers.
In a vulnerability note issued on June 10, CERT-In, which works under the ministry of electronics and information technology, said an attacker can exploit use-after-free in WebGPU (a graphics application programming interface), out-of-bounds-memory access in WebGL (Javascript API), out-of-bounds-read in composting and use-after-free in ANGLE, which is an open source, cross-platform graphics engine layer developed by Google.
Cybersecurity and digital privacy firm Kaspersky defines use-after-free as a vulnerability related to incorrect use of dynamic memory during program operation. "If after freeing a memory location, a program does not clear the pointer to that memory, an attacker can use the error to hack the program," Kaspersky said.
Common Weakness Enumeration defines out-of-bounds read as a vulnerability that allows attackers to read sensitive information from other memory location and cause a crash.
This is the second vulnerability CERT-In note issued on Google Chrome products in a week. On June 6, the agency, which deals with cyber security threats like hacking and phishing, flagged vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on a targeted system.
The agency had also highlighted vulnerabilities in Mozilla products such as its iOS version priot to 101, Thunderbird version prior to 91.10 and so on.
"Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla products which could allow a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, execute arbitrary code, perform spoofing attacks, and cause denial of service attack on the targeted system," the vulnerability note read.
CERT-In urged users to update Mozilla and Chrome browsers to their latest versions.
CERT-In has been in the spotlight ever since it published a slew of directions that seek additional compliance from corporates whose users are in the country.
The directions, which come into force from June 27, have been criticised by the civil society and industry bodies and forced VPN service providers such as Surfshark and ExpressVPN to pull its servers from the country. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/cert-in-flags-vulnerabilities-in-google-chrome-mozilla-firefox-browsers-8672261.html/amp | 2022-06-11T08:39:00Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/cert-in-flags-vulnerabilities-in-google-chrome-mozilla-firefox-browsers-8672261.html/amp | true | 2 |

By Peter Ryan
Essendon cult hero Ron Andrews left a boot behind in the mud as he ran from Princes Park in 1981 in disbelief at what had just transpired.
The Bombers had beaten Carlton by a point to stretch their winning run to 14 in Kevin Sheedy’s first year as coach after trailing by 26 points with 10 minutes remaining.
But Andrews was not stuck for words when asked at the MCG on Friday night during a gathering of past Essendon players about the hero of that famous day, Neale Daniher.
“Untouchable,” Andrews said. “He could have been right up there with them. He was one of the best in such a short time.”
You had to be tough and skilful to earn the respect of Andrews, who played 151 games for Essendon and six in one season at Collingwood.
“The way I was taught to play football was win at all costs. Take them out. If they are in your road, knock ’em over,” Andrews said.
The Bombers’ next win came at a huge cost.
Against South Melbourne in his 66th match a week later, Daniher’s knee buckled underneath him.
He won the club best and fairest that season and was named captain for the 1982 season but became the first player appointed skipper to not lead his team into battle. He would play just 16 more games, with sheer will getting him back in 1985, 1989 and 1990 after multiple reconstructions.
But that season and especially those final two goals in the final two minutes at the end of a famous quarter etched his name in Essendon folklore before he had even turned 21.
“He was the best, Daniher,” Barry Besanko said. “The way he trained and the way he played...”
Besanko played three games in 1980 alongside Neale and Terry. He is happy to engage with Max Crow, who kicked four goals against the Blues, in a friendly debate about his appraisal as their mutual regard for all the Daniher clan is clear.
“Terry was the best, Neale had the potential to be the best,” Crow said.
In that memorable 1981 match when future AFL Commission chairman and Blues premiership captain Mike Fitzpatrick was pinged for time-wasting (a few Essendon old-timers joke that he hated the Bombers from that point on).
Umpire Ian Robinson made the rare call to take the kick off the Blues ruckman just 16 seconds after he had marked in defence late in the game.
“Carlton had a false sense of security,” Crow recalled.
They did not count on Daniher.
In the ensuing panic, the Carlton theme song was played before the siren sounded as the Blues lost their minds on and off the field.
Daniher was cool, taking two marks in the forward line late to slot two set shots through the middle having made the most of a free kick to goal earlier in the quarter.
Former Bomber Ken Fletcher was coaching Tatura that Saturday. He heard about Carlton’s lead and didn’t think about it again. He nearly died of fright when he heard the score.
Frank Dunell, an Essendon premiership player, had arrived in 1979 with Daniher, Barry Day and recruit Peter ‘Crackers’ Keenan, so he watched his progress as soon as they arrived at Windy Hill.
“He had such a good step. He had played rugby too,” Dunell said.
That step became harder, and his final game occurred in 1990 when he played against St Kilda alongside his three brothers.
On Friday night, nearly 32 years after that day, Daniher leant and laughed when the spotlight fell on the famous Daniher quartet at the MCG.
His inspirational and defiant battle with motor neurone disease (MND) has made his name central to the Queen’s Birthday clash between Melbourne and Collingwood, which is now synonymous with the efforts to fight MND through the Big Freeze fundraiser.
Most Australians under a certain age know him for his courage in the face of what he calls the beast and his time coaching Melbourne from 1998-2007 where he became known as ‘The Reverend’ as he promoted the club.
But as Essendon celebrated their 150th the reverence of those who played alongside him in the red and black was clear.

The Logitech-owned Blue Microphones has launched two new premium mics in India aimed at content creators and streamers.
The Yeti X and Yeti Nano have Blue's proprietary "voice" software, that enables users to use a variety of built-in effects and presets.
The microphones would allow users to get broadcast quality results for gaming, streaming, and podcasts, the company said on June 10. The USB-powered microphones are simple to set up and operate, it said.
The Yeti X is the premium option priced at Rs 17,495, and comes with four primary condenser capsules, tuned specifically for voice and clarity. It also has an 11-segment LED visualizer, with levels marked from green to red, so you can check your sound levels at a glance.
There is also a multi-function smart knob that allows users to control mic gain, volume and headphone volume. It can also be used to blend the microphone signal with sounds from the computer.

Priced at Rs 9,995, the Yeti Nano is the more affordable option. It features two condenser capsules, and, like the Yeti X, supports high quality 24-bit/48 kHz recording.
Both microphones have a dedicated cardioid mode that can record sounds directly in front of the microphone and omnidirectional mode, which picks up sound equally from all directions.
Bi-directional mode is exclusive to the Yeti X, which allows recording sounds from both the front and back of the microphone. There is also a stereo mode only on the Yeti X, which uses the mic's left and right channels to capture sound. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/technology/logitech-owned-blue-microphones-launches-2-mics-aimed-at-streamers-creators-8672401.html | 2022-06-11T08:42:48Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/technology/logitech-owned-blue-microphones-launches-2-mics-aimed-at-streamers-creators-8672401.html | true | 2 |

'No censoring' BBC hits back at viewers accusing broadcaster of 'editing' Boris booing
THE BBC was forced to defend itself from accusations of having edited and censored footage showing Boris Johnson being booed as he arrived at the Queen's thanksgiving service last week.
BBC chief hits back over 'editing' Boris booing clip
The BBC reported a large number of complaints about its coverage of the Platinum Jubilee, with some viewers accusing the broadcaster of modifying clips. Viewers took particular issue with footage of Boris Johnson being booed, which viewers claimed had been edited to reduce the volume of the protest in news bulletins. Viewer Dave Rees wrote: "Imagine my surprise, shock, and anger to see the BBC had censored and edited the clip of Boris and Carrie airing to booing from the crowds."
And Nikki Middleton said: "What right does the BBC have to alter the public's reaction? Shocking!"
But speaking to BBC News Watch, interim senior controller Richard Burgess denied any editing accusations.
Mr Burgess said: "The first shot was of Jane Hill commentating live on the Johnsons arriving, and you can hear her reaction instantly that she can hear quite a lot of booing.
"A considerable amount, I think she said.

"The second shot was from a different camera, we've got a number of different cameras filming events like this.
"They have what we call a clean feed so, essentially, audio without commentary on in a different position. So just the volume levels were different."
He added: "There was no editing of it, no attempt to censor anything.
"I think if you watched our coverage in the days following this incident, you'd have seen we regularly covered the story, we even played the clip to Grant Shapps, a Cabinet minister, on Sophie Raworth's Sunday Morning programme."

And another viewer lamented what he claimed to be the overly pro-monarchy coverage of the event.
Paul Benwell said: "I felt the BBC coverage really conveyed the impression to viewers that 100 percent of the viewers are in favour of the monarchy and we're going to be out celebrating 70 years of having the same, unelected Head of State.
"Now, nothing could be further from the truth because, in a recent YouGov poll, only 62 percent of the population thought that the monarchy should continue into the future.
"A majority, 60-odd percent is a majority, but as Boris Johnson found out earlier this week, it's by no means a resounding majority."

But Mr Burgess refuted the claims: "I don't think that's fair.
"It was a major moment of national significance. I don't think you can argue about that. It was a significant story, our Head of State being on the throne longer than any other monarch.
"This was a moment to reflect on that, to reflect on the reign, to consider the future.
"Yes, to represent the celebrations but also to represent not everyone feels the same way about the monarchy. We did reflect, that was on our coverage as well." | https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1623907/BBC-News-boris-johnson-booing-video-platinum-jubilee-complaint-vn | 2022-06-11T08:54:46Z | https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1623907/BBC-News-boris-johnson-booing-video-platinum-jubilee-complaint-vn | false | 1 |
Stephen Curry’s 43-point masterpiece in Game 4 of the NBA Finals left his Warriors teammates, his coaches and basketball fans everywhere in awe.
With Golden State in jeopardy of falling into a 3-1 hole against the Celtics in Boston, Curry was magnificent, shooting 14-of-26 from the field with seven three pointers while collecting 10 rebounds to level the series 2-2 on Friday night, June 10 (Saturday, June 11, Manila time).
“Probably number one,” Klay Thompson said when asked to rank Curry’s performance in a Finals game.
“It was nearly a must-win game, so to go out there and shoot as efficiently as he did and grab 10 rebounds all while they are attacking him on defense? His conditioning is second to none in this league.
“Steph played incredible.”
Forward Draymond Green echoed Thompson.
“He put us on his back and willed us to win,” he said.
“Much-needed win, a game we had to have, and he came out and showed why he’s one of the best players to ever play this game and why this organization has been able to ride him to so much success.
“It’s absolutely incredible.”

— NBA (@NBA) June 11, 2022
Four-time NBA champion LeBron James weighed in to say that Curry was “different” from other players and that he still does not get the respect he is due.
“It’s rare and rare is not liked and appreciated,” James tweeted.
After the game, Curry redirected praise onto his teammates.
“I don’t rank my performances,” Curry said. “Just win the game.”
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, who hopes to lead the franchise to its fourth championship in eight years alongside Curry, Thompson and Green, said he felt blessed.
“Whenever I’m done coaching, I will look back and say thank you to Steph because night after night he has made this situation for us as an organization easy for everybody,” Kerr said.
“He’s a special player, special person.” – Rappler.com | https://www.rappler.com/sports/nba/stephen-curry-iconic-performance-leaves-golden-state-warriors-teammates-stunned/ | 2022-06-11T08:57:04Z | https://www.rappler.com/sports/nba/stephen-curry-iconic-performance-leaves-golden-state-warriors-teammates-stunned/ | false | 2 |

Neighbours posts cast photo from soap’s last ever episode – and it’s packed full of Ramsay Street legends
SOAP stars walked the set of Neighbours for the last time on June 10, 2022 and a picture of their final day has been released.
The Australian show was given the axe after less than four decades on the air.
Neighbours favourites Ian Smith, Jackie Woodburne, Melissa Bell and Ryan Moloney, amongst many others, waved a final goodbye to Ramsay Street.
All actors of the iconic program filmed their last ever scenes on the Kennedy set, in Melbourne, on Friday.
The day was immortalised in a single shot of the main and guest cast that brought the fictional suburb of Erinsborough to life.
While emotions undoubtedly ran high under the limelight, most members of the Neighbours line-up, both legendary and new, are seen smiling broadly at the camera.
Jackie Woodburne, Melissa Bell, Ryan Moloney and Ian Smith are seen in the front row alongside co-stars Freya Van Dyke, Lucinda Cowden, Scarlett Anderson, John Turner, Alan Fletcher, Benji McNair, Zima Anderson, Annie Jones, Harlow Herbison-Fuentes, Stefan Dennis, Rebekah Elmaloglou, Kate Kendall and Sally-Anne Upton.
The second star-studded row behind them includes Richard Huggett, April Rose Pengilly, Takaya Honda, Richie Morris, Gemma Bird Matheson, Georgie Stone, Candice Leask, Lloyd Will, Emerald Chan, Jacinta Stapleton, Paul Keane, Charlotte Chimes, Tim Kano, Phoebe Roberts, James Mason, Ben Hall and Matt Wilson.
"We all knew this day was coming but until we were here in this moment when the very last scene was filmed, it was hard to express how we would all feel", said executive producer Jason Herbison.
"Of course, it is sad and tears were shed, but we’re also enormously proud. 37 years is an incredible achievement and that should be celebrated."
more on neighbours
Jason has asserted that the support from viewers "all over the world" has not gone unnoticed.
"We’ve also been incredibly touched by the response from our viewers all over the world."
"Neighbours is more than a TV show to many people."
"They see us as part of the family and we feel privileged to have been invited into their homes, and I know the legacy of Neighbours will live on for many years."
As Channel 5 viewers will remember, Neighbours was axed after the broadcaster decided to end its deal with Australian production company Fremantle Australia in a bid to "increase investment in original UK drama."
With Network 10 unable to fund the show by itself, the Australian broadcaster was hoping for a British counterpart to save the day at the last moment - but a new deal was never reached.
Channel 5 will air its last Neighbours scenes during the summer. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/tv/8993226/neighbours-cast-photo-last-episode-soap-legends/ | 2022-06-11T09:05:44Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/tv/8993226/neighbours-cast-photo-last-episode-soap-legends/ | true | 4 |
Suspect charged in shooting at Maryland business that killed 3 people
Three people are dead and a state police trooper was injured following a shooting at a business in rural western Maryland on Thursday, authorities said.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded around 2:30 p.m. Thursday to the Columbia Machine INC. in Smithsburg for reports of an active shooter.
Police said officers arrived and found three men dead. Police identified the victims as Mark Alan Frey, 50, Charles Edward Minnick Jr., 31, and Joshua Robert Wallace, 30.
A fourth victim, Brandon Chase Michael, 42, was critically injured.
Police confirmed that all of the victims and the suspect, a 23-year-old man from West Virginia, were current employees of Columbia Machine, INC.
The suspect fled the scene before officers arrived, police said.
Police said the trooper encountered the suspect in a vehicle in the area of Maplesville Road and Mount Aetna Road a short time later. They exchanged gunfire. Police said both were injured and taken to hospitals for treatment.
The trooper suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was released from the Meritus Medical Center.
Police said the suspect will remain in custody at Meritus Medical Center. His identity will not be released until charging documents are filed.
The weapon used at both scenes was a semi-automatic handgun, police said. Police did not release the caliber, make and model.
The motive for the shooting is still under investigation and there remains no active threat to the community.
Police said there is no confirmed active threat to the community in relation to the shootings.
Columbia Machine is a manufacturer of concrete products equipment, according to their website.
Smithsburg is about 75 miles west of Baltimore. | https://www.wcvb.com/article/maryland-company-shooting-smithsburg-washington-county/40245047 | 2022-06-11T09:07:47Z | https://www.wcvb.com/article/maryland-company-shooting-smithsburg-washington-county/40245047 | true | 1 |
Kyle Rittenhouse now says he’s going to Blinn College, after Texas A&M said he’s not a student
Days after he told a conservative podcast that he was going to Texas A&M University, Kyle Rittenhouse corrected himself on Twitter to say that he is planning to attend Blinn College, a two-year public college, this year.
His announcement comes one day after a Texas A&M spokesperson told The Texas Tribune on Sunday that Rittenhouse had not in fact been accepted at the Tier One research university for this summer or fall, despite his claims about his plans to attend. The university would not say whether Rittenhouse had applied to the school.
“Unfortunately, the end of my high school career was robbed from me,” Rittenhouse wrote Monday afternoon on Twitter. “I didn’t have the time other students get to properly prepare for the future. I look forward to attending Blinn College District this year, a feeder school for Texas A&M. I’m excited to join Texas A&M in 2023!”
A Blinn College spokesperson said Rittenhouse submitted his application on April 28, but he has not enrolled for a current or upcoming term at Blinn. The junior college is open enrollment, meaning all students are welcome.
In a subsequent tweet, Rittenhouse said he plans to move to Texas at the end of June.
When Rittenhouse was 17 years old, he drove from his home in Antioch, Illinois, to Kenosha, Wisconsin, in response to protests for the shooting of a Black man by a white officer. Rittenhouse had said he wanted to help law enforcement protect property amid civil unrest. He was accused of fatally shooting two men and injuring another with his rifle. He was acquitted of multiple felony charges during his high-profile trial in which he argued he acted in self-defense.
Blinn College is a community college based in Brenham with a location near Texas A&M in Bryan that has strong transfer partnerships with Texas A&M, but it is not part of the Texas A&M system. In 2020, the college said 53% of its transfer students continue their studies at Texas A&M.
Transfer to Texas A&M is not guaranteed. Students must at least have a 2.5 grade point average and 24 hours of coursework that is transferable to be considered.
Last Friday, Rittenhouse appeared on The Charlie Kirk Show, where he said he was going to Texas A&M, making a big reveal by swapping out his baseball cap for a Texas A&M hat.
“I’m going to be going there, and it’s going to be awesome,” Rittenhouse told Kirk. “Beautiful campus, amazing people, amazing food.”
Rittenhouse previously claimed he was studying nursing at Arizona State University, before a school spokesperson clarified he was not enrolled and had not gone through the admissions process. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2628500742825/kyle-rittenhouse-now-says-he-s-going-to-blinn-college-after-texas-a-m-said-he-s-not-a-student | 2022-06-11T09:19:35Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2628500742825/kyle-rittenhouse-now-says-he-s-going-to-blinn-college-after-texas-a-m-said-he-s-not-a-student | false | 4 |
A man wanted by police after a teenage boy was stabbed to death and his mum left seriously injured in a ‘ferocious’ attack at their Manchester home has been arrested 240 miles away in Kent.
Detectives launched a murder investigation after the 15-year-old died and his mother, who was said to be aged in her 40s, were knifed in Miles Platting late on June 9.
A 44-year-old man from Manchester was arrested in Kent on Friday evening. He is believed to be known to the victims.
Detective Chief Inspector Alicia Smith said: ‘This attack has left a community reeling and a family coming to terms with what was an absolutely devastating incident for everyone involved.
‘A teenage boy who had his whole life ahead of him has tragically lost his life and not only is his mother grieving at the loss of her son, but she is also recovering from what will have been no doubt, hugely traumatic.
‘Our thoughts remain very much with the family, and we are absolutely committed to establishing what exactly happened.
‘Detectives have been working around the clock since this incident was first reported to us and we’ve now made an arrest which is a huge step forward in getting the family the answers they need.’
Emergency services rushed to the address at around 9.30pm on Thursday following what Greater Manchester Police called a domestic incident.
The 15-year-old boy was treated at the scene for stab wounds before being taken to hospital where he died around an hour later.
His mum also received treatment for serious stab wounds but is said to now be in a stable condition in hospital.
DCI Smith said: ‘Our inquiries are ongoing and we would still like to hear from anyone with information, or anyone who may have seen anything.’

To the editor — Love the front page depicting boundaries of 4th Congressional District.
I would love to know why Kittitas County, which is close enough to play sports with us, is not in District 4? I understand that boundaries have to occur somewhere, but why is Kittitas County linked with King County?
It is amazing that the Columbia River is a hard boundary line but the Cascades are not.

The government has announced new guidelines to curb misleading advertisements and endorsers by banning surrogate ads, while imposing strict norms for those advertisements that seek to lure consumers offering discounts and free claims.
The new guidelines on "Prevention of Misleading Advertisements and Endorsements for Misleading Advertisements, 2022" also seeks to regulate advertisements targeting children.
The guidelines, notified by the consumer affairs ministry and that have come into force with immediate effect, also specify due diligence to be carried out while endorsing in advertisements.
Action against violation of the new guidelines will be taken as per the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), which provides for a penalty of Rs 10 lakh for first offence and Rs 50 lakh for subsequent contravention.
Announcing the guidelines, consumer affairs secretary Rohit Kumar Singh said: "Advertisements have great interest for consumers. Under the CCPA Act, there are provisions to handle misleading advertisements affecting consumers rights.
"But to make it more explicit, clear and aware to the industry, the government has come out with guidelines for fair advertising with effect from today," he said.
The guidelines will be applicable to advertisements published on all platforms like print, television and online.
Stating that these guidelines will not bring change overnight, the secretary said, however, it gives a framework for the industry stakeholders to prevent misleading ads even by mistake and will also empower consumers and consumer organisations to file complaints against misleading ads.
The secretary also mentioned that these guidelines will apply to government advertisements issued by PSUs engaged in providing consumer services, he said.
The advertising guidelines for self-regulation issued by the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) will also be in place in a parallel manner, he added.
Elaborating on the guidelines, regulator Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) Chief Commissioner and Additional Secretary in the Consumer Affairs Ministry Nidhi Khare said: "CCPA has taken action against misleading ads during the pandemic. We felt that there was a need to have guidelines, so that stakeholders are aware of them and do not violate without knowledge."
Misleading advertisement has already been defined under section 2(28) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. The present guidelines define "bait advertisement", "surrogate advertisement" and clearly provides what constitutes as "free claim advertisements".
Bait advertisement means an advertisement in which goods, products or service is offered for sale at a low price to attract consumers.
Besides, the guidelines lay down conditions to be complied with while issuing bait advertisements and free claims advertisements, enumerating various factors to be considered in publishing ads especially targeting children.
The guidelines forbid advertisements from exaggerating the features of product or service in such manner as to lead children to have unrealistic expectations of such product or service and claim any health or nutritional claims or benefits without being adequately and scientifically substantiated by a recognized body.
In a statement issued later, the government said advertisement targeting children should not feature any personalities from the field of sports, music or cinema for products which under any law requires a health warning for such advertisement or cannot be purchased by children.
Since the disclaimers in advertisements play a pivotal role from consumer perspective since, in a way it limits the responsibility of the company, the guidelines stipulates that disclaimer should not attempt to hide material information with respect to any claim made in such advertisement, the omission or absence of which is likely to make the advertisement deceptive or conceal its commercial intent and should not attempt to correct a misleading claim made in an advertisement.
Further, it provides that a disclaimer should be in the same language as the claim made in the advertisement and the font used in a disclaimer shall be the same as that used in the claim.
That apart, clear guidelines are laid for duties of manufacturer, service provider, advertiser and advertising agency, due diligence to be carried out before endorsing and others.
Ms Khare said, "Any endorsement must reflect the genuine, reasonably current opinion of the individual, group or organisations making such representation and must be based on adequate information about, or experience with, the identified goods, product or service."
Where Indian professionals are barred under any law from making endorsement in any advertisement, foreign professionals of such profession are not permitted to make endorsement in such ads, she said.
The guidelines aim to protect consumers interest through bringing in more transparency and clarity in the way advertisements are being published, so that, consumers are able to make informed decisions based on facts rather than false narratives and exaggerations.
The government said the penalty for violating the guidelines are also clearly outlined. The consumer protection regulator can impose a penalty of up to Rs 10 lakh on manufacturers, advertisers and endorsers for any misleading advertisements. For subsequent contravention, CCPA may impose a penalty of up to Rs 50 lakh.
The authority can prohibit the endorser of a misleading advertisement from making any endorsement for up to 1 year and for subsequent contravention, prohibition can extend up to 3 years.

- Premier League sides are prepared for a bidding war over highly-rated defender
- Ibanez made 51 appearances in all competitions for the Serie A side last year
- Brazilian centre-back valued at £30m despite £80m release clause in contract
Newcastle and Tottenham have enquired over the availability of Roma defender Roger Ibanez ahead of the summer transfer window, according to Calciomercato.
The highly-rated Brazilian has caught the eye of the two Premier League sides after his impressive performances in Serie A and the Europa Conference League for Jose Mourinho's team.
With both outfits looking to bolster their defensive quality ahead of the 2022/23 season, Ibanez has emerged as a prime target for the English clubs.
Tottenham and Newcastle are prepared to bid £30m for Roma defender Roger Ibanez
It's understood that the two clubs have asked Roma over the player's availability, with both sides prepared to make an offer in the region of £30m - despite the defender's release clause standing at £80m.
The 23-year-old was ever present in Mourinho's Roma side last season - making 51 appearances in all competitions as his team won the Europa Conference League and secured a sixth placed league finish.
Both Spurs and Newcastle have been scouting the Italian market for potential transfer targets - with Inter Milan's Alessandro Bastoni and Torino's Gleison Bremer also making the list.

Antonio Conte's desire to get his business done early into the window has been made apparent - with Spurs already announcing the signings of Fraser Forster and Ivan Perisic.
Inter's Bastoni had been a key target for the Tottenham boss, but the player's agent shut down rumours over a move after telling reporters his client 'will certainly remain' in Italy.
Eddie Howe's Newcastle are preparing for their first summer window under their new ownership - who've already shown their intent in the transfer market by signing Matt Targett to a permanent deal this week.
