‘A community studio for news and art’: The Oakland Lowdown opens downtown
Five years ago, John Thomson was sharing a one-bedroom apartment in the Laurel district with four other people. They made it work, but it was cramped and he longed for a place of his own. Then one day he got a call he’d been waiting on for three...

The average price for a gallon of petrol in America has topped 5 US dollars (£4.05) for the first time ever.
Car club AAA said while the average price on Saturday is 5 dollars, motorists in some parts of the country, especially California, are paying far above that.
The national average price has jumped 19 cents (15p) in the past week, and it is up 1.93 US dollars (£1.56) from this time last year.
The average price of a litre of unleaded in the UK on Thursday was £183.2p, which is about £8.25 a gallon (10.16 US dollars).
There are several reasons for the surge in prices.
Americans typically drive more starting around Memorial Day at the end of May, so demand is up.
Global oil prices are rising, compounded by sanctions against Russia, a leading oil producer, because of its war against Ukraine.
In addition, there are limits on refining capacity in the United States because some refineries shut down during the pandemic.
The combined result is seeing the cost of filling up surging, draining money from Americans who are facing the highest rate of inflation in 40 years.
California has the highest average price, at 6.43 US dollars (£5.33), according to AAA. The lowest average is Mississippi, at 4.52 US dollars (£3.66).
While this is the first time the average price has broken the 5 dollar barrier, it is still not a record when inflation is taken into account.
Gas peaked at 4.11 US dollars (£3.33) a gallon in July 2008, which would be equal to about 5.40 US dollars (£4.38) a gallon today. | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/world-news/2022/06/11/average-fuel-price-hits-5-a-gallon-in-us/ | 2022-06-11T10:39:10Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/world-news/2022/06/11/average-fuel-price-hits-5-a-gallon-in-us/ | true | 20 |

Amanda Owen announced this week the sad breakdown of her marriage to husband Clive.
And while the actual confirmation may not have come as a surprise, the first talk of troubles between them did.
Amanda’ mum previously said she didn’t know anything was up when her daughter revealed was going through tough times.
Joyce Livingstone spoke out last year after the Our Yorkshire Farm couple confirmed in a statement that they were experiencing a “rocky patch”.
“Like any marriage we have our stresses and strains,” they said.

Amanda’s mum saw ‘no hint’ of any problems
The shocked mum said she hadn’t seen any hint of trouble.
“I am gobsmacked,” she told MailOnline.
She went on: “There was absolutely no hint of any trouble. We watched the programmes on the television, and it did not look like there was anything wrong.”
Joyce added that as far as she knew, the couple’s relationship was “rock solid”.
Amanda Owen and husband Clive split
Amanda and Clive, who share nine children, have now gone their separate ways after more than 20 years of marriage.
The star, aka The Yorkshire Shepherdess, confirmed the news in a post on her Instagram Story that was signed by both of them.
“Clive and I are sad to confirm that we have made the difficult decision to separate,” it said.
“This hasn’t been easy, but we both believe it’s the right choice for the future of our family.
“Although we are no longer a couple, we continue to work on the farm and co-parent together, with our number one priority the happiness and well-being of our children.”

She added: “We would like to thank everyone for their support and would ask that the media please respect our privacy as we work through this difficult time.”

How long were Amanda and Clive Owen together?
The pair met in 1996 and went on to fall for each other.
They tied the knot in 2000 and Our Yorkshire Farm started in 2018.
Our Yorkshire Farm is on Channel 5 on Saturday at 1.05pm.

Which TVs are best for watching sports?
Rafael Nadal, arguably the greatest tennis player of all time, just won his 14th French Open title. At the iconic Wimbledon Championships starting on Monday, June 27, he aims to write another chapter in the history books with his third Grand Slam of 2022. While you can technically watch tennis, and any other sports, on any TV, there are some specific features to consider if you want the best possible viewing experience.
TVs for sports vs. TVs for movies
Home theater TVs have their own set of high-end requirements, such as deep black levels, high contrast ratios and local dimming, that enable a near-cinematic experience. Sporting events, on the other hand, rarely take place in the dark, and are exponentially more enjoyable with a large group of family or friends.
The problem is, many fantastic home theater TVs have poor viewing angles. Plus, a decent number of them have inconsistency issues that aren’t noticeable in movies but are easy to spot when an entire tennis court or soccer field is on the screen.
The biggest differentiating factor between the two, especially where group viewing is concerned, is the type of panel technology a TV uses. Two subtypes of LCD panels, called in-plane switching and vertical alignment panels, offer markedly different performance. IPS technology is especially suitable for sports, while VA technology needs some extra features to look good when viewed at an angle.
How do LCD TVs work?
LCD TVs consist of a backlight, a layer of liquid crystal matrix, a set of color filters and sometimes additional layers, depending on the TV’s design and price point. That liquid crystal matrix doesn’t actually contain crystals that are made of liquid. That’s actually just a clever name. Instead, the liquid crystal layer consists of a material that either blocks light or lets it through, depending on the electrical signal it receives from the microchip controllers inside the TV.
The vast majority of today’s TVs use VA technology. VA panels tend to have high contrast ratios, relatively deep black levels and remarkably narrow viewing angles. In other words, VA panels are great for a cinematic experience with stunning landscapes and otherworldly CGI images when viewed head-on. However, the image degrades quickly for anyone viewing it from an angle. VA panels also aren’t exactly praised for their color accuracy and consistency from edge-to-edge, although that does differ from model to model (and even between individual panels, in some cases).
The liquid crystal material in IPS panels essentially rotates in a different direction than VA liquid crystal to let light through. The end result is a significantly wider viewing angle for IPS panels and usually more consistent and accurate colors across the screen. The tradeoff is that IPS panels tend to make blacks look gray.
What about OLED TVs?
While they still use light-emitting diode technology, OLED TVs operate differently from LCD TVs. OLED panels can dim and turn off each pixel individually instead of a standalone matrix of liquid crystal blocking the light. This results in remarkably wide viewing angles in addition to the incredibly accurate and consistent color.
OLED TVs perform better than LCDs almost across the board, except for brightness. Since sporting events and group gatherings often happen during the day or in well-lit rooms, OLEDs don’t dominate the sports-watching scene the way they lead in terms of a home theater experience. They’re also quite expensive compared to LCD TVs.
So which kind of TV is best for sports?
If you like to watch sports with friends, an IPS panel TV is basically a must-have. OLED panels come in second, but their cost turns off many consumers. VA panel TVs are generally poor for group viewing, although some premium models have special wide-angle layers that somewhat mitigate the problems with VA panels (usually at the cost of contrast).
A note on refresh rate and motion interpolation
Most broadcast content is limited to a top end of 60 frames per second. That dovetails perfectly with the 60-hertz refresh rate of many TVs. Many newer models offer 120-hertz refresh rates, but there aren’t many 120-hertz sources.
You’ve probably heard of the soap opera effect, which occurs when a TV produces unnaturally smooth content. These days, it usually happens when a TV’s motion interpolation feature is enabled. Different brands have different names for it, but it’s always the same thing. In motion interpolation, the processor inside the TV essentially calculates imaginary frames in between the frames it’s given, which simulates frame rates of 120 fps or better, even when a program is only broadcast at 60 fps.
You almost always want motion interpolation off when watching movies. Otherwise, it significantly messes with the experience, making things look unreal and distracting viewers from the film itself. By contrast, motion interpolation has simply fantastic results when watching sports. The fluidity from a simulated 120-hertz (or greater) live sporting broadcast is something to behold. That’s especially true with sports like tennis, where the small ball and fast pace are difficult to track.
Best TVs for watching sports with friends
This high-end option combines IPS technology with QLED filtration, an impressively bright backlight and excellent motion handling, making it the best option by far for a large group of sports fans.

If you can afford the high cost, this refined OLED model is perfect for any type of content imaginable, thanks in part to its superior brightness compared to other OLEDs.

If you’re on a tight budget, you can’t do better than this high-performing but low-cost IPS TV.
Sold by Amazon
This option is ideal for sports, movies and TV at any time of day, due to its advanced Mini LED backlight, premium local dimming algorithm and special wide viewing angle layer.
Sold by Amazon
For the most immersive viewing experience possible, this premium option is equipped with an IPS panel and comes in sizes up to a whopping 75 inches. However, you should avoid the 86-inch version because it uses a VA panel.
Sold by Amazon
It sports a midrange price yet high-end performance, especially when it comes to action-packed tennis matches and basketball games.
Sold by Amazon
While it’s actually last year’s model, its wide viewing angle layer allows it to perform notably better for large groups, and it’s less costly than its successor.
Sold by Amazon
The only reason to avoid this remarkably good-looking TV is if you want to watch the game in broad daylight, as it’s slightly behind the newer model in terms of brightness.
Sold by Amazon
As long as you can afford it, this is one of the best large-format IPS panel TVs money can buy.

West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday expressed concern over the "worsening" law and order situation following the clashes in Howrah and appealed to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to sternly deal with lawbreakers.
Taking to Twitter, the Governor alleged inaction by the state Chief Secretary and police is an "unfortunate endorsement" of the criminality of law violators.
"Concerned at worsening law & order situation since May 09. Inaction @chief_west @WBPolice @KolkataPolice is unfortunate endorsement of the criminality of law violators. Appeal #MamataBanerjee to sternly deal with law breakers. All involved be identified and arrested," he tweeted.
Earlier today, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee claimed that some political parties are behind the Howrah violence but said that it will not be tolerated and strict action will be taken against them.
"As I have said before, violent incidents have been taking place in Howrah for two days now. There are some political parties behind this who want to cause riots, but these things will not be tolerated and strict action will be taken against all of them indulged in violence. Why should the common people suffer because of BJP's sins?" Banerjee said in a tweet.
Amid a row over remarks against Prophet Muhammad, section 144 has been imposed in Howrah after fresh clashes took place between police and a group of protestors at Panchla Bazaar in Howrah.
Police used tear gas shells to disperse them as protesters pelted stones.
Violent protests broke out in Howrah on Friday over controversial remarks of suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma.
Section 144 of CrPC imposed in and around the stretches of National Highways and Railway Stations under the jurisdiction of Uluberia-Sub Division, Howrah has been extended till June 15.
Several incidents of violence were reported from different parts of the country over the controversial remarks of Nupur Sharma and Naveen Jindal on Friday.
Following the protests, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) asked the police heads of states and Union Territories to be prepared and alert as they will be on target. The MHA also has asked all the states to take preventive actions, keep a check on borders and identified sensitive areas.
Earlier on Friday, a massive crowd also gathered to protest at Park Circus in Kolkata adding to the resentment against the sacked leaders. A BJP office was vandalised and torched in Uluberia, Howrah district. People also held a protest at Dasnagar railway station on the Howrah-Kharagpur railway route.
Notably, a controversy erupted after Nupur Sharma's remarks against the minorities. Some Gulf countries have also lodged their protest. However, India on Thursday reiterated that the controversial remarks concerning Prophet Muhammad do not reflect the views of the Government and added that action has been taken by concerned quarters against those who made the comment.

IF TikTok has taught us anything, it's that there's usually a cheaper way to do things – including make plants grow.
Before splurging on pricey plant food, gardening enthusiast Megan London says there's a seriously cheap item that may already be in your pantry that will work wonders for your garden.
"I bet you have something in your cabinet right now that you can use in your garden and you don't even know it," Megan said in a recent TikTok video.
"You're probably like, what could that be? Powdered milk," she revealed.
Powdered milk was a staple of Great Depression diets, and has continued to be relied on as a low-cost way to get nutrients.
Megan explained that many of those nutrients are good for your plants, too.

I’m a gardening expert - the best thing to make your plants grow is 100% free
In her video, she held up a bag of Walmart's Great Value brand instant nonfat dry milk.
"Why? Let me show you what it's packed full of," she said.
Powdered milk has plenty of calcium and potassium, both essential for healthy plants.
Calcium helps plants grow and protects them from pests and diseases. When plants don't get enough, buds won't grow, fruit can be damaged, and leaves can curl, spot, or burn.

Potassium, meanwhile, helps move water and nutrients in the plant tissue, and also promotes plant growth and stops disease.
"Just mix a little in with the soil a few inches in, cover it, and leave," Megan said.
Viewers have called her tip "awesome" and "wonderful," with several saying they'd try it in their own gardens.
The experts at The Spruce say you can similarly use regular milk in your garden by diluting it with water and putting it in a spray bottle to spritz on plant leaves.
They recommend using 1% or 2% and mixing it with water using a 50/50 ratio.
However, they warn not to mix it with any chemical pesticide or fertilizer, which can kill the bacteria in milk that will help your plants. | https://www.thesun.ie/fabulous/8930653/cheap-gardening-hack-powdered-milk-calcium-plants/ | 2022-06-11T11:06:03Z | https://www.thesun.ie/fabulous/8930653/cheap-gardening-hack-powdered-milk-calcium-plants/ | true | 4 |

Orioles starter Bruce Zimmermann felt he was tipping pitches. The fixes haven’t been easy to adopt.
It’s a subtle change, a movement of his hands from his stomach to his back hip. But Orioles left-hander Bruce Zimmermann wants it to lead to monumental differences, to eliminate what he felt led to pitch tipping in recent starts and to create a more easily repeatable delivery.
Two starts into his trial, how does the adjustment feel?
“Not quite where I want it to be,” Zimmermann said after allowing a career-high seven runs in an 8-1 loss Friday night to the Kansas City Royals. “Obviously, the results would be a little bit better if it was.”
But it doesn’t mean Zimmermann will abandon the experiment, even as poor starts begin to pile up. He began the season by throwing 14 scoreless innings and continued a strong run through his first seven starts, allowing 11 earned runs in 36 1/3 innings.
Including Friday’s debacle, however, Zimmermann has conceded 27 runs in his last 25 2/3 frames. Two of those outings came against the New York Yankees and another came against the Boston Red Sox, and Zimmermann felt he tipped his pitches on the mound, particularly as he fiddled with the ball in his glove with a runner on second base.
So he’s making changes. They haven’t worked yet. But Zimmermann isn’t about to revert to his old ways, not when he feels a potential breakthrough is nearing — even if the results don’t support that feeling.
“Gonna get back to work and keep trying to find what we’re trying to feel and be a little bit more consistent with the mechanics, because then the pitch break shapes will follow that,” Zimmermann said. “I think at times, I really thought it was coming together. At other times, I was a little soft with it and things stayed up.”
Zimmermann first dropped his hands last week against the Cleveland Guardians. He turned his glove inward, hiding the grip of the ball when a runner is on base, hoping “to hide the ball a little bit better.”
The adjustments aren’t out of the ordinary for pitchers during the course of a season, pitching coach Chris Holt said. He downplayed the idea Zimmermann was tipping pitches — and he said he wanted to avoid giving any details that would help an opposing team learn what to look for — but Holt acknowledged the changes could help avoid giving anything away in the future.
“The placement of the hands is actually working with the delivery itself,” Holt said. “The byproduct of that is potentially being proactive on eliminating something there [with tipped pitches]. We’re trying to kill two birds with one stone.”
With his new hand placement, Holt hopes Zimmermann’s delivery can become more routine and natural, and in turn improved offspeed pitches will follow. The short-term outlook isn’t as promising. Zimmermann’s changeup carried him through much of the beginning of the season, but now teams know what to look for.
When Zimmermann is at his best, he’s drawing swings and misses on that changeup. But that hasn’t been the case lately.
In his previous four appearances entering Friday, he managed four whiffs on 54 swings against his changeup. He only threw his changeup four times after the first inning Friday, and the Royals didn’t miss on any of their four swings. Zimmermann said the reduced usage of the changeup is because teams know what to expect, but he’s also been leaving it up in the zone more frequently by mistake.
“From the dugout, it has looked a little different the last few outings,” manager Brandon Hyde said. “Just not having the same depth and the swing and miss he was getting on right-handed hitters. Hopefully he can find it back.”
He didn’t Friday. But when Zimmermann gets set for his next predicted start in Toronto next week, he’ll be another start into a new set and delivery. Perhaps by then he’ll have more comfort with it. In high-stress situations — the kind Zimmermann has faced plenty of late — his old mechanics, the one he has used for thousands of reps, will “kind of rear its ugly head sometimes,” interrupting his rhythm.
So while the results aren’t pretty right now, Zimmermann feels he needs to pitch his way through it. And maybe then, when he feels more comfortable with his new set and delivery, the results will level out closer to what he displayed during the first month of the season.
“It’s not ideal. You’d like to be consistent from start to start to start,” Zimmermann said. “It’s just a matter of getting those reps as much as possible without overdoing the volume in between starts in the middle of the season and going out there and being able to be consistent.”

Kris Jenner And Corey Gamble: How Did They Meet For The First Time?
Kris Jenner has been a significant part of everyone’s life since she momager-ed her way onto our screens in 2007. If the Kardashian-Jenners are one of the most powerful celebrity families, Kris is the driving force behind it.
But, considering how much of her personal life is documented on reality television, how much do you know about her six-year relationship with boyfriend Corey Gamble? Aside from the 29-year age difference (which no one would bring up if she were a guy), to be clear.
Who Is Corey Gamble, And What Does He Do?
Before becoming Jenner’s boyfriend, Gamble was already well-known as a corporate executive and talent manager. He is presently employed with Scooter Braun’s firm, SB Projects. In addition, Gamble has served as Justin Bieber’s tour manager. They’re also quite close. He calls the Yummy singer his “nephew.” Gamble was born in Atlanta, Georgia. He completed his degree in business marketing there before going to Los Angeles, where he currently lives with Jenner.
According to reports, the 41-year-old is worth $15 million. But, considering Jenner’s worth of $190 million, which she’s accumulated by taking a 10% share of all of her daughter’s business activities, it’s easy to believe Gamble is just in it for the money. Fans were particularly concerned over accusations that he had cheated on his mother. Kanye West also commented on the situation.
“God has a plan to take out the godless Corey; he didn’t need to be here anyhow,” the rapper said when the news surfaced. “When Kris divorced, he morphed into the television equivalent of a father figure… We haven’t met his family yet, and I doubt we ever will. He did his job by deeply connecting my wife to lefties. For some reason, I always assumed he worked for DuPont or a similar corporation.”
When Did Corey Gamble & Kris Jenner Start Dating?
In 2014, the couple initially met in Ibiza. It was during the 40th birthday celebration of fashion designer Riccardo Tisci. West, who Braun also represents, hosted the party. Jenner was going through a divorce at the time. Gamble was previously married to Atlanta Exes actress Sheree Buchanan.
They had been dating for three years. It’s unknown if romance blossomed between the two immediately after their initial encounter. However, during their family vacation, Gamble was photographed with the Kardashian-Jenners in October of that year to celebrate Kim Kardashian’s 40th birthday.
Jenner made the couple’s Instagram relationship public in 2015 when she uploaded a picture of them on a double date with Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus. They were said to have split up in 2017, although fans believed they were engaged in August 2018. Jenner was spotted sporting a massive diamond ring during her Late Late Show appearance. Neither of them has verified the rumors since then.
Jenner has told Ellen DeGeneres that she does not want to marry again. “You know, I’ve done it twice, and it didn’t go so well,” she said on The Ellen Show in 2017. “So you never know, I don’t know. I will take a cue from [Goldie Hawn] and [Kurt Russell]. Or maybe Kourtney [Kardashian’s] book. Why disturb the feathers when things are going so well?” But, hey, her daughter is now engaged to Travis Barker, and we’ll soon see her walk down the aisle.
Does Corey Gamble Get Along Well With The Kardashian-Jenners?
Ye’s fears over not meeting Gamble’s family caught up with the Kardashian-Jenners in May 2019. “We tried to get to know him, but he hasn’t been responsive throughout this entire affair,” Khloe Kardashian said. It became worse when Gamble sided with Kylie Jenner in a confrontation with Kendall. The latter said Gamble instructed her to “f—- off.”
The proprietor of 818 Tequila challenged the talent manager, who replied: “You’ve been a jerk for years. You’re a—hole when you want to be, and you get worked up for no reason. I’m going to tell you the truth about how you’re feeling. You’re not apologizing for nothing.” It’s unknown if the two have reconciled since then.
Gamble also got into an argument with Kourtney and her ex-husband Scott Disick. Penelope, their kid, was accused of scratching her babysitter. “If P scratches me, I’m whipping her behind,” Gamble said. “You should spank her.” His remarks hurt the ex-couple. “He [Corey] will never be alone with my kids, and if he does that in front of us, there will be an f—king problem!” Kourtney said.

I’m an ex-traffic warden and I was fined £400 for parking on faded double yellow lines – I’m sure I’m right & here’s why
A FORMER traffic warden who parked on a double yellow line for three months has told of his fury after he was slapped with £400 in fines.
Lucas Taylor, 40, says a legal loophole means he should never have been handed the penalties.
He left his Vauxhall car on the lines in Abinger Road, Brighton, which is just around the corner from his home.
The double yellows are badly faded, and Mr Taylor, who dished out tickets in the seaside town for four years, said that means parking restrictions are invalid.
According to UK law, drivers can appeal tickets if markings can't be clearly observed.
Mr Taylor also says the lines aren't capped with a "termination bar", or T-bar.
He's refused to pay up, and says the council has no right to demand his cash.
However, officials don't agree - and bailiffs have been sent to Mr Taylor's home.
Mr Taylor said: "The lines are absolutely shocking.
"I've been parking there for three months. Loads of people have.
Most read in Motors
"Then they started ticketing.
"But they can't enforce them - the lines are completely weathered.
"You can barely make them out.
"How can you break parking laws if you're unaware that they are there?"
Mr Taylor, who now works as a window cleaner, has been ordered to fork out £424 to Brighton and Hove City Council.
PARKING MAD
The authority has sent him "formal notice" that bailiffs will call to take some of his possessions.
And while Mr Taylor has already lost an appeal, he vowed to stick to his guns.
"When I was a warden, I would never ticket cars parked on faded or broken yellow lines," he said.
"You just can't do that. I've spoken to friends who are parking wardens and they agree that the fine shouldn't have been enforced.
"If they want to fine people for parking on yellow lines, they should make sure they are visible."
How can you break parking laws if you're unaware the yellow lines are there?
A spokesman for Brighton & Hove City Council said: "Yellow lines often become faded or patched over time due to wear and tear or repair work.
"Minor imperfections do not negate the validity of the lines.
“We advise drivers wishing to challenge penalty charge notices of further opportunities to do so.
“A tribunal, for example, is often the best way to test the validity of yellow lines.
“It is up to individual drivers whether or not they pursue these opportunities.
“In instances where they don’t our normal rules apply with regard to late payments.” | https://www.thesun.ie/motors/8930192/fined-parking-double-yellows-faded-brighton/ | 2022-06-11T11:11:11Z | https://www.thesun.ie/motors/8930192/fined-parking-double-yellows-faded-brighton/ | true | 3 |
BAKU, Azerbaijan (AP) — Lewis Hamilton is optimistic Mercedes has made progress toward challenging the Formula One leaders and said the “adversity” of struggling to keep up has brought the team closer together.
Ahead of Sunday’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the seven-time champion has just one podium finish from seven races, his worst start to a season since 2009, after Mercedes had to redesign a car that started the year with a tendency to bounce and shake at high speed.
“Can I say it’s the best, most exciting journey? No, but it is an experience and it’s bringing the team closer,” Hamilton said Friday, speaking before practice. “It’s making us all have to sharpen our tools. The technology is advancing a lot to be able to understand it, and we’re pulling closer than ever before. I guess that’s what happens when you’re faced with adversity, and so there’s lots and lots of positives.”
Hamilton said upgrades the team brought to the Spanish Grand Prix last month have “given us more of a direction to go in and it’s been positive” as he and teammate George Russell try to chase down title contenders Max Verstappen of Red Bull and Charles Leclerc of Ferrari.
However, Hamilton’s cause for optimism wasn’t immediately evident in Friday’s practice sessions. The British driver had just the 12th fastest time, more than 1.6 seconds behind Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and five places behind Russell.
Leclerc set the pace, 0.248 seconds ahead of Sergio Pérez in the second practice session. Championship leader Max Verstappen had the third fastest time, 0.356 seconds behind Leclerc. Pérez led the first session.
Russell is still chasing his first F1 win and warned Mercedes would likely stay behind Red Bull and Ferrari in Azerbaijan and needs more time to develop its car to challenge the top teams.
“The car we had (for the first race of 2022) in Bahrain, that was sort of its maximum potential and we couldn’t really improve it from there on in,” he said. “Sometimes you’ve got to take a small step back to to take three steps forward, and I think we’re in that transitional process at the moment. I think it’ll be a few more races before we start to see us hopefully fighting with Ferrari and Red Bull.”
Points leader Verstappen and Leclerc both suffered disappointment last year in Azerbaijan. The Dutchman’s tire blew at high speed, throwing him into the wall in a dramatic crash, while Leclerc started on pole position but lacked pace and dropped to fourth. That echoes Leclerc’s recent struggles — he has taken pole in each of the last three races but couldn’t convert any of them into wins as Verstappen overtook him in the standings. The last race in Monaco was particularly bitter as Ferrari made the wrong pit stop call and cost him a shot at winning on home soil.
“Obviously in Monaco there was plenty to analyze because we’ve done some mistakes,” said Leclerc, who trails Verstappen by nine points. “What gives me the confidence for the future is that we found the reasons why we did those mistakes as a team. … We just obviously need to focus on ourselves, don’t do any other mistakes. And if we do everything perfect, I’m sure that we can have a great result this weekend.”
Last year’s winner in Baku was Verstappen’s teammate Pérez, who comes into the weekend on a high after his Monaco victory and a new Red Bull contract. Now a title contender in his own right, 15 points off Verstappen, Pérez said the contract talks didn’t define him as Verstappen’s wingman.
“There’s nothing in my contract that say that I need to finish second or something like that, you know,” he said. “So it was not a topic in the contract at all.”

Silverstone bosses sue contractors who relaid F1 track for £8m after Lewis Hamilton called it ‘the worst job ever’
SILVERSTONE chiefs are suing the contractors who relaid their F1 track for £8million after Lewis Hamilton branded it “the worst job ever”.
Bosses paid £2million for the new surface in 2018.
But the firm they hired, Aggregate Industries, is accused of leaving it bumpy, easily waterlogged and “breaking up” in places.
Seven-times F1 champ Hamilton, 37, said in 2018: “It’s the bumpiest track I’ve ever experienced.”
During practice in the run-up to the British MotoGP in August 2018, five riders crashed in the wet. One, Tito Rabat, broke his leg in three places.
The fallout led the FIM, motorcycling’s governing body, to revoke Silverstone’s licence — throwing its F1 future into doubt.
The loss of the MotoGP cost the iconic circuit, in Northants, at least £3.5million, court papers show.
Relaying the track again with another firm cost £3.7million.
In a High Court writ, lawyers for Silverstone claim the new track had “microbumps” which made racing vehicles vibrate at speed and visible day joint lines where different sections were laid at different times.
They allege bitumen seepages led to “fatty” patches, while there was excessive water retention, with the track releasing foaming white liquid at times.

Silverstone called in Tarmac Trading Ltd to relay the surface in time for the 2019 British Grand Prix, the writ states.
Silverstone is suing Aggregate for the cost of the cancelled MotoGP and further resurfacing and for loss of profits of around £624,552.
The total amounts to £7,933,124 plus legal costs. | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/8915977/silverstone-lewis-hamilton-sue-f1-track/ | 2022-06-11T11:15:46Z | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/8915977/silverstone-lewis-hamilton-sue-f1-track/ | true | 11 |
Few drivers could win just one race and be regarded as a legend of the sport, but Jean Alesi is no ordinary man.
More than two decades after he raced in Formula 1 for the final time, his surname remains one of the go-to options when remembering the key players of the sport in the 1990s. It's right up there with the likes of Senna, Mansell, Hill, Schumacher, Hakkinen and Berger.
Given his reputation, those who never got the chance to witness that era might think he was a serial race-winner, forever in the hunt for world championship glory. While he was rarely counted out of title race, only once did he ever manage to stand on the top step of a podium.
Not that he was a stranger to being in the top three. That solitary win, which came on his 31st birthday at the Canadian Grand Prix, was one of the 32 separate occasions that he would finish in the top three. Exactly half of those came in his five-year stint as a Ferrari racer, with the others spread out across spells with Tyrrell, Benetton and Sauber.
That penchant for consistently strong results was perhaps why he was given five years to prove himself at Ferrari, and why he was so adored by the team's fanbase. During that time he broke the record for the longest spell without a race win in the team's history – 67 – but he was still delivering the goods at a time when the Italian team was struggling.
In the early 1990s Ferrari had gone off the boil. Alesi had been recruited after Williams backed out of a deal to sign him to instead welcome back Nigel Mansell, and formed what should have been a formidable line-up alongside Alain Prost. But the 1991 car was unreliable and the following year's effort was even further off the pace.
Gerhard Berger joined him at Ferrari in 1993 but the car's performance wasn't getting much better. Despite that, Alesi was still managing to get some results and recorded his seventh podium with the team when he finished second at Monza that year – a result which no doubt would have delighted the Tifosi on home soil.
His final two seasons yielded eight more podiums, including that win in Montreal, but still Ferrari were not yet the team that they became at the turn of the millennium. It might have been him in the seat for when they really were able to compete for world titles, but he was replaced by Michael Schumacher in 1996 – the team opting to go with the double-world champions from the previous two seasons.
And so Alesi took his place at Benetton, but it was a team that was about to decline. Many members of staff had followed Schumacher to Ferrari and their revered chief designer Rory Byrne decided to take a year out. Though that didn't stop Alesi from producing the best season of his career.
So consistent he was that he only once finished outside the top five of any race that he finished all year, the exception being his sixth-placed result at the San Marino Grand Prix. But car reliability was once again his undoing, as he retired from five races. Still, he managed to finish fourth in the championship, but some way off Damon Hill.
His career went on for several more seasons but never again would he better that 1996 season for either points or final championship position. After spells with Sauber, Prost and Jordan, he called time on his single-seater career in 2001 before spending several years in DTM.
But he remains in the hearts of Ferrari fans to this day, who couldn't help but fall in love with him as he played up to their affections at every opportunity. "Vinceremo," he would declare in interviews, telling the supporters: "We will win." Sadly that didn't happen more than once, but the Tifosi loved the passion and confidence all the same. | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/other-sport/formula-one/jean-alesi-career-ferrari-benetton-27206319 | 2022-06-11T11:16:09Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/other-sport/formula-one/jean-alesi-career-ferrari-benetton-27206319 | false | 2 |
A fundraiser has been started following the passing of a Lake Cowichan man in an incident with a logging truck.
Money will go to the wife – Donna – and four children of Andrew Linklater, who was killed when logs slid off the truck and onto the vehicle he was inside on May 24th.
The page was set up by Linklater’s sister, Summer Muzyka, who says Andrew was her best friend. She says the funds will help take some of the financial burden off of the family as they grieve.
“Life is already so expensive and Donna can’t go to work until she makes sure her kids are okay and doing better,” says Muzyka in the page description. “With no dual income and funerals expenses, bills, rent , groceries, gas and all the bills are piling up.”
As of 6pm on June 10, the fundraiser has already hit over $15,000 towards a $20,000 goal, only a day after the page was set up.
“We’ve passed $11,000 in day one,” says Muzyka in an update after the first day of fundraising. “Thank you so much for the support. Keep spreading the word to make a difference in his children’s lives.”
If you’re looking to donate you can find it under the title Helping Andrew’s Family on GoFundMe.
“We are all so devastated. We are in disbelief. We are hurting. We don’t know how we will ever find happiness again,” says Muzyka. “Please find it in your hearts to donate any amount to help ease the financial burden on Andrew’s family.” | https://www.mycowichanvalleynow.com/71274/news/gofundme-to-support-late-lake-cowichan-mans-family-has-kicked-off/ | 2022-06-11T11:20:43Z | https://www.mycowichanvalleynow.com/71274/news/gofundme-to-support-late-lake-cowichan-mans-family-has-kicked-off/ | true | 1 |
Doug Lear: Troublesome Aquatic Species Rules Apply to Everyone – Jamestown Sun

A West Virginia man accused of fatally shooting three co-workers at a western Maryland machine shop remained under police guard at a hospital Friday, but authorities said a Maryland state trooper injured in a shootout with the suspect was treated and released.
The 25-year veteran of the Maryland State Police was shot when police said the fleeing suspect fired multiple rounds at troopers who tracked him down in western Maryland. At least one trooper returned fire, striking the suspect, state police said. The injured trooper and suspect were both taken to a hospital.
The trooper has been released, but the suspect remained under police guard while undergoing treatment, police said late Thursday. Charges are pending consultation with the Washington County State’s Attorney’s Office, police said. The troopers involved in the shooting will be placed on administrative duty while an investigation is conducted.
Washington County Sheriff Doug Mullendore said three men were found dead at Columbia Machine Inc. in Smithsburg on Thursday afternoon and a fourth was critically injured. The victims and suspect were all employees at the facility, he said. The sheriff identified those killed in the shooting as Mark Alan Frey, 50; Charles Edward Minnick Jr., 31; and Joshua Robert Wallace, 30.
Reached by telephone Friday, Nelson Michael, the father of Brandon Michael, 42, who was wounded in the machine shop shooting, said his son was still in the hospital, but he didn’t know more about his condition.
“He’s surviving,” he said. “I’m glad he’s alive, but it’s going to work on his nerves. I know that.”
Nelson Michael said he didn’t know why the gunman shot the victims.
“I’m not saying any more. I’m just glad my son’s alive, and I feel so bad for the families of the other ones,” he said.
The shooting suspect was identified as a 23-year-old man who lives in West Virginia, but the sheriff’s office said his name wouldn’t be released until charging documents are filed. Authorities declined to release a motive.
Mullendore said the suspect used a semiautomatic handgun, which was recovered after the shootout.
Smithsburg, a community of nearly 3,000 people, is just west of the Camp David presidential retreat and about 75 miles (120 kilometers) northwest of Baltimore. The manufacturing facility was in a sparsely populated area northeast of the town’s center with a church, several businesses and farmland nearby.
Columbia Machine manufactures equipment for concrete products, and its Smithsburg location builds molds and works on parts and repairs for other plants. The company’s CEO, Rick Goode, issued a statement calling the deaths of three employees and the wounding of a fourth tragic.
“Our highest priority during this tragic event is the safety and wellbeing of our employees and their families,” he said.
Frey, one of the victims, lived about a half-mile from Dennis Stouffer.
He described Frey as “a solid individual” and “a good guy.”
,Stouffer said he would see Frey at the mailbox when he drove by. Stouffer said in a phone interview that Frey once made meat hooks for a deer-meat processing shop he used to run in the small rural community of Smithsburg.
“He didn’t make a bunch of noise or anything. He just went about his work,” Stouffer said.
Speaking late Friday morning, Stouffer said the reason for the shooting remained “a big mystery” to people in the community.
“We’re all in shock and disbelief, and that’s an understatement,” Stouffer said.
As mass shootings continue to fuel debate about gun control around the nation, Stouffer said the Maryland deaths did not change his mind about Second Amendment rights.
“It’s most unfortunate, but you always have to be prepared,” Stouffer said. “Whether it’s church property or your own property or wherever you go, you’re not going to prevent criminals from having guns by passing gun-control laws.” | https://www.ketk.com/news/national/police-shooting-suspect-under-guard-hurt-trooper-released/ | 2022-06-11T11:23:49Z | https://www.ketk.com/news/national/police-shooting-suspect-under-guard-hurt-trooper-released/ | true | 45 |

Bermudez left a bloodied mess after being battered before eighth round KO to Japanese star Kyoguchi at Hearn event
ESTEBAN BERMUDEZ was left a bloody mess after he was knocked out by Hiroto Kyoguchi.
The 26-year-old Mexican had claret gushing from everywhere on his head following his eighth round defeat last night.
The two men collided in a WBA junior flyweight boxing title unification bout under the promotion of Eddie Hearn's Matchroom.
But it was Kyoguchi who overcame two point deductions to destroy Bermudez before the fight was stopped 28 seconds into round eight at Domo Alcalde in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Kyoguchi drew blood early in the clash after delivering a number of combinations.
Bermudez continued to be unable to defend against his opponent’s uppercut in the second round.
The unbeaten champ from Tokyo continued to utilise his left hook, bloodying the nose and opening up a cut above his opponent’s eye.
The damage led to Bermudez having to visit the ringside doctor towards the end of the third after another cut on his forehead occurred.
And his face was then turned into a crimson mess as Kyoguchi continued to dominate, even though he could not find a knockout punch.
The official warned both men to avoid any more headbutts at the beginning of the sixth, with Kyoguchi then being deducted one point despite it being Bermudez that initiated forehead-to-forehead exchanges.

Bermudez was rocked again by a pair of jabs before Kyoguchi was deducted another point near the end of round seven.
The star was then examined by the doctor again - but the medic gave the thumbs up for him to continue as he remained on the receiving end of some heavy punishment.
But Kyoguchi flew out of his corner in round eight and he delivered a series of shots that the defenceless Bermudez had no answer for, forcing the ref to step in and stop the contest.
The victory stretched Kyoguchi’s unbeaten record to 16-0 (11KOs) and was his fourth successful title defence.
The warrior is a two-weight world champion and has held the WBA (Super) and The Ring light-flyweight titles since 2018. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18854077/boxing-bermudez-kyoguchi-ko-hearn/ | 2022-06-11T11:39:41Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18854077/boxing-bermudez-kyoguchi-ko-hearn/ | true | 4 |
Wrabel Teams Up with Country Star Cam, Drop Striking Music Video for New Duet 'London'
Wrabel has made a country detour, and we're here for it.
On Friday, the indie singer-songwriter and Nashville treasure Cam released the music video for their duet "London" — and PEOPLE has a first look at the clip (see above).
The striking, understated video, which was shot in Nashville, finds Wrabel and Cam alone on a dark bus as they sing of regret and lost love. Cam's warm, emotionally charged vocals only elevate an already gorgeous track.
Wrabel, 33, first released "London" on his 2021 debut album, These Words Are All for You. Then last December, he and Cam teamed up for duet version of the sentimental track, which appears on his new deluxe album These Words Are All for You Too, out now.
"Getting to record a duet version of 'London' with Cam was truly a dream come true. Her voice and heart all over the song just makes me melt. It feels like she breathed new life into it in such a beautiful way," Wrabel (born Stephen Wrabel) told PEOPLE. "I can't wait to share These Words Are All for You Too. It was so hard to decide the final track listing of my debut album, and this is such a nice way for me to tell a few more stories from these chapters of my life."
Wrabel broke out in 2014 with his Afrojack single "Ten Feet Tall" and has since worked with A-list artists, from dueting with Pink on "90 Days" to writing with his close friend Kesha. Cam, 37, shot to fame with her Grammy-nominated 2015 hit "Burning House" and the fan-favorite "Diane" off her 2020 LP The Otherside.

Target killings aimed to foment unrest in the region: J-K LG
Target killings aimed to foment unrest in the region: J-K LG
Srinagar(Jammu and Kashmir): Target killings in the valley were an act of desperation on part of the militants to provoke security forces to commit a mistake so that people can hit the streets in protest, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on Saturday. Target killings of innocent people have taken place. I believe society should condemn it.
A woman teacher, who imparts education to children, is killed, if the society does not condemn it, then I think, we are shirking away from our duties, Sinha said during a function in Kulgam district in south Kashmir. He said the killings were an act of desperation. These are acts of desperation. J-K administration follows the policy of gunahgaar ko chhodo mat, aur begunah ko chhedo mat' (Do not spare the culprit, but do not touch the innocent).
Also Read: One Hizbul militant killed as encounter breaks out in Kulgam
Target killings are taking place deliberately in the hope that police and security forces commit a mistake, kill an innocent person, and the people come out on the streets to protest, he said. Sinha said the administration will not let that happen. There will be no action against an innocent person by the police, security forces or the J-K administration, he added. The militancy was in its last stage and when a candle is about to burn out, its flame flares bright, Sinha said.
The flare' of militancy was intense as the police and security forces have tightened the noose around them, the LG said, adding, it is our endeavour is to rid the people here of terrorism. He said the road to progress and development goes through peace. Calling upon people to condemn such attacks, the J-K LG said that time has come for people to come forward and support police and security forces in their campaign to root out terrorism.

Moeen Ali claims he'd 'love to play' in England’s Test cricket revolution under Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes after admitting he felt misused as a player under former captain Joe Root
- Moeen Ali says he'd love to join England’s revolution under Brendon McCullum
- McCullum was appointed as a head coach of England's cricket side in May
- Ali says he'd 'suit their cricket a bit more' than under former captain Joe Root
Moeen Ali says he would love to join England’s Test cricket revolution under Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes.
Ali, who has taken 195 wickets with his off-spin and scored 2,914 runs in 64 Tests, retired from the format last September, citing a lack of motivation.
There were also times, the 34-year-old said, when he felt misused as a player under the former captain Joe Root.
Moeen Ali says he would love to join England’s Test revolution under Brendon McCullum
But as revealed by the Mail On Sunday a fortnight ago, he is willing to make himself available again and told BBC’s Test Match Special that the historic nature of England’s first Test tour to Pakistan for 17 years next winter is appealing.
Of his recent contact with England coach Brendon McCullum, Ali revealed: ‘He said, look in future if we need you, if there are injuries or a tour of the subcontinent etc, are you keen to play?
‘He's a very difficult person to say no to…He’s very convincing. To be honest, I'd love to play under him and Stokesy.

Brendan McCullum (left) has led England's revolution after taking over as coach in May
'Both of them have that character about them. They're very aggressive. I think I would suit their cricket a bit more and I think they feel I would suit them as well.'
England are due to play three Tests in Pakistan this December and McCullum will want as many spin-bowling provisions as possible.
Adil Rashid, another in Test exile, is also mulling over a return to the longest form of the game, although he has turned down multiple requests from Yorkshire’s new coaching regime to play first-class cricket over recent months.

The American Athletic Conference announced an agreement Friday with Cincinnati, Houston and UCF that paves the way for the schools to join the Big 12 in 2023.
The three schools announced in September they had accepted invitations to join the Big 12, which moved quickly to a rebuild its membership after Texas and Oklahoma revealed they planned to join the Southeastern Conference in 2025.
Along with the addition of BYU in 2023, the Big 12 is set to be a 14-team conference for two years.
The American requires its members give more than two years’ notice before they can leave the conference, plus a $10 million exit fee. The AAC said its remaining members agreed to terminate the memberships of Cincinnati, Houston and UCF, effective July 1, 2023.
Each departing school agreed to pay the AAC $18 million, with more than half paid out by 2024 and the rest due over a period of 12 years, two people with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because neither the conference nor the schools are releasing terms of the agreement.
American Commissioner Mike Aresco thanked the leadership of the departing schools for arriving at a “sensible resolution.”
All three institutions enjoyed tremendous success under the American Athletic Conference banner, and all three were instrumental in taking the conference “to great heights, both athletically and academically,” Aresco said. “We wish them the best and look forward to having them compete in our conference in 2022-23.”
Cincinnati has won the last two AAC football championships and reached the College Football Playoff last season. UCF has also won two AAC football titles (2017-18). Houston, which lost to Cincinnati in last season’s title game, has one conference title.
Houston won the American men’s basketball title last season and reached the Final Four in 2021.
The new-look AAC is also preparing to have 14 teams in 2023, with six schools from Conference USA having already accepted invitations. Charlotte, Florida Atlantic, North Texas, Rice, UAB and UTSA were all targeting 2023 to make the switch from C-USA to the American.
The departure of those six schools from Conference USA next year was expected to become official soon, but Charlotte, FAU and UTSA put out statements announcing they would be joining the AAC in 2023.

GENEVA (AP) — Hosting Champions League games in Poland and planning a humanitarian tour of the United States feel like natural next steps for Ukraine’s top soccer team after eight years exiled from its home city by Russian aggression.
The story of Shakhtar Donetsk — playing only away games since conflict in its Donbas region started in 2014 and the full invasion by Russia shut down Ukrainian soccer this year — might be unique in world soccer.
Shakhtar’s sporting director Darijo Srna told The Associated Press his club was “the only one in the history of football” to have endured such tests.
Unable to use its stellar $400 million stadium since 2014, forced to live and play in adopted home cities across Ukraine, Shakhtar has now had no competitive games since December because of the Russian invasion.
Still, Srna is working around uncertainty over the club’s roster to plan for a new season in the Champions League and renewal of the Ukrainian Premier League.
“They attack our country, our land,” said Srna, a former Shakhtar captain whose shirt number 33 was retired by the club. “But in the end we are still here, we are still alive.”
The domestic league that was abandoned last season — Russia invaded one day before the end of its mid-winter break — is set to start again in August.
The Champions League kickoff is Sept. 6, after a UEFA ban on Russian teams removed Zenit St. Petersburg and helped lift Shakhtar directly into the 32-team elite. Russian clubs have appealed against the UEFA ruling.
“We will play in Champions League group, they will play nothing,” Srna said, referring to Russian clubs. “They can watch on television.”
Being seen worldwide is a “small but important victory for Ukrainian and European football,” he said of a team that hosted Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Sheriff Tiraspol in Kyiv last season..
However, taking international games to Ukraine is now an unacceptable security risk so Shakhtar is talking with Legia Warsaw about staging its three Champions League home games.
“The minimum what we can give to Poland is Champions League football,” Srna said. “They opened the door of the country for Ukrainian people, they opened their hearts.”
The team will look like Shakhtar in distinctive orange and black uniform, but with more players unfamiliar to viewers used to a core of Brazilian stars like Fernandinho, Willian and Douglas Costa over the past two decades.
“We do not know yet with which kind of team because, more or less, we sell or give a loan to all foreign players,” Srna said from London, lamenting that “agents want to take our players for free. They don’t respect the situation today.”
The future for Shakhtar is “more or less a Ukrainian team with the young, hungry players.”
Despite more than 100 appearances for Croatia, Srna talks about Donetsk in Ukraine’s industrial heartland as a home after 15 years and more than 500 games as a player through 2018. He won 10 league titles and lifted The Miners’ only European trophy, the 2009 UEFA Cup.
Srna’s loyalty is tied to a special relationship with Shakhtar’s billionaire president Rinat Akhmetov. He also owns the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol that is symbolic of Ukrainian defiance and Russian bombardment.
Akhmetov’s money built the Donbass Arena stadium that was key to Ukraine co-hosting the 2012 European Championship. It has been neglected but not destroyed, Srna said, during the Russian occupation.
“He is the key of this success of Shakhtar,” Srna said of Akhmetov. “He is the guy, the person, who never gives up. In difficult moments you must help other people.”
Akhmetov this week pledged $2 million to help Ukrainian soccer restart. A 16-team top tier should include two teams promoted to replace Mariupol and Chornomorets Odesa, Srna said.
The league aims to play all games on Ukraine soil, though Shakhtar will prepare next month at training camps in the Netherlands and Slovenia.
After touring Europe in April to play fund-raising games for the military effort, Shakhtar ran out of time to organize a similar trip to the United States. A tour in December is an option, Srna said.
“The most important (thing) is to play,” he said, “to show the world that we are still alive, that we are fighting, that we are living, that we will have a good future.”

ATLANTA (AP) — A move toward simplicity served Spencer Strider well in his first home start.
The adjustment could help Strider keep his new-found place in the Atlanta Braves’ rotation.
Strider outpitched Roansy Contreras in a matchup of hard-throwing rookies, Dansby Swanson had three hits, including a two-run homer, and the Braves beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2 on Friday night for their ninth straight win.
The winning streak is the National League’s longest this season. Houston and the New York Yankees have had 11-game streaks.
The Pirates have lost four straight, matching their longest losing skid of the season.
Strider (2-2) allowed only four hits with eight strikeouts and one walk in 5 2/3 scoreless innings. Strider, making his first home start and only his third overall, pitched into the sixth inning for the first time.
“I definitely wanted to simplify things,” Strider said, adding he felt he made things too difficult for himself in his last start, when he lasted only 4 1/3 innings and received no decision in a 6-2 win at Colorado on Saturday.
Strider said his plan was to “just focus on being in line to the plate.” He allowed only two hits through his first five innings.
The 23-year-old Strider began the season as a reliever before moving into the No. 5 spot in the rotation. He gave credit to Swanson for giving him a confidence boost, as well as some pointers, following his start at Colorado.
“He was just relaying to me that my stuff is good and he’s seeing it behind me,” Strider said, referring to Swanson’s view of his work from his shortstop position. “He can tell when I’m getting too complicated.”
Strider’s growth has provided depth to a rotation following attempts to find a fifth starter behind Max Fried, Charlie Morton, Kyle Wright and Ian Anderson.
“This is the next step in getting hi to where we want him to be,” said Braves manager Brian Snitker, adding it was “pretty good, awesome” for Strider to pitch into the sixth.
Contreras (1-1) had seven strikeouts, including four in his first pass through the Braves’ lineup, in his fourth start. The 22-year-old right-hander from the Dominican Republic allowed four runs — three earned — and eight hits with one walk in 4 2/3 innings.
Swanson’s third-inning homer off the left-field foul pole drove in rookie Michael Harris, who singled and stole second. Ronald Acuña Jr. reached on an infield hit and was caught stealing before Swanson’s homer.
Ozzie Albies’ double to right field off Contreras in the fourth drove in Travis d’Arnaud, who singled and moved to second on left fielder Travis Swaggerty’s fielding error.
Matt Olson added a run-scoring single in the fifth.
Strider was pulled after giving up singles to Bryan Reynolds and Michael Chavis in the sixth. Dylan Lee struck out Cal Mitchell to end the inning.
Atlanta’s winning streak is its longest since another nine-game run from Aug. 13-22, 2021.
Atlanta led 4-0 before Chavis hit a ground-rule double off Jackson Stephens that bounced over the left-field to drive in Reynolds in the eighth. Cal Mitchell’s sacrifice fly drove in Daniel Vogelbach, cutting the Braves’ lead to two runs.
Kenley Jansen recorded three straight outs in the ninth for his 17th save in 20 chances.
STRIDER’S HEAT — AND ADJUSTMENTS
Strider had 14 pitches clocked at 99 mph or higher for the third time this season. In his move from the bullpen, however, the right-hander has continued to place more emphasis on his slider and changeup.
“He’s made some adjustments,” Snitker said, noting Strider’s increased reliance on his slider. “Very impressive.”
FIRST-YEAR BUCS
Including Contreras, the Pirates started five rookies. When asked about his lineup before the game, manager Derek Shelton smiled and said “we have three to five in there about every night.”
Acuña made a leaping catch on the right-field warning track of a drive hit by Michael Perez in the seventh.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Pirates: RHP Tyle Beede remained in the game after being hit near his hip by a liner from Swanson in the seventh. Swanson reached on an infield hit on the play.
Braves: Stephens stayed in after Reynolds’ grounder hit his right knee in the eighth. Reynolds reached on his second infield single of the game before scoring on the double by Chavis. … LHP Tyler Matzek (left shoulder inflammation) threw long toss in the outfield before the game for the first time since being placed on the 10-day injured list on May 17. The next step is for Matzek to be cleared to throw from a mound.
UP NEXT
Braves RHP Charlie Morton (4-3, 5.63) will make his first career start against Pittsburgh, where he pitched from 2009-15, when he faces RHP Zach Thompson (3-4, 4.60) as the four-game series continues Saturday.

Kudos to the SD National Guard for once again sponsoring the Golden Coyote summer training session for militia across the Country and around the World. In this time of lawlessness it’s comforting to know the Guard is still here to maintain order and keep the peace.
The protestors exhibited behaviors that showed everyone how not to stage a coup. So if a coup was not their objective, why did so many thousands show up?
Anyone who values a firearm over the safety and security of a child is simply wrong. May you never receive a phone call informing you your child or grandchild was the innocent victim of violent gun crime. People over firearms.
Rising prices are a bummer, but if we lose our democracy, rising prices will be the least of our problems. Once one party/autocratic rule is established, you won't be able to complain about rising prices — or anything else.
Hopefully, Rep. Liz Chaney runs for the GOP presidential nominee, she is the meaning of what a true Republican patriot is. | https://rapidcityjournal.com/news/local/your-two-cents-for-june-11/article_c0569eea-6ded-5149-b5d8-1c87e35cad8c.html | 2022-06-11T12:09:33Z | https://rapidcityjournal.com/news/local/your-two-cents-for-june-11/article_c0569eea-6ded-5149-b5d8-1c87e35cad8c.html | true | 1 |

Ukraine wants 'explanation' after Biden comments on Russian threats
Ukraine wants 'explanation' after Biden comments on Russian threats
Published June 11,2022

The political leadership in Kiev is disgruntled after U.S. President Joe Biden indicated that President Volodymyr Zelensky did not take the danger emanating from Russia seriously enough before the war began.
At a fundraiser in Los Angeles on Friday evening, Biden said that there had been evidence that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin wanted to invade Ukraine before February 24.
The comment "certainly need an explanation," Ukrainian presidential spokesman Serhii Nykyforov said on Saturday.
Zelensky had repeatedly called on international partners to pre-emptively impose sanctions to force Russia to withdraw troops already stationed in the border region with Ukraine, Nykyforov told the online newspaper Liga.net. | https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2022/06/11/ukraine-wants-explanation-after-biden-comments-on-russian-threats | 2022-06-11T12:15:20Z | https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2022/06/11/ukraine-wants-explanation-after-biden-comments-on-russian-threats | false | null |
Russian forces are relying on weapons with the potential to cause mass casualties as they try to make headway in capturing eastern Ukraine, defence officials claim.
Russian bombers have likely been launching heavy 1960s-era anti-ship missiles in Ukraine, the UK’s Ministry of Defence and Ukrainian officials said.
The Kh-22 missiles were primarily designed to destroy aircraft carriers using a nuclear warhead. When used in ground attacks with conventional warheads, they “are highly inaccurate and therefore can cause severe collateral damage and casualties”, officials warned.
Both sides have expended large amounts of weaponry in what has become a grinding war of attrition for the eastern region of coal mines and factories known as the Donbas, placing huge strains on their resources and stockpiles.
Russia is likely using the anti-ship missiles because it is running short of more precise modern missiles, officials said.
Meanwhile, a Ukrainian regional governor has accused Russia of using incendiary weapons in the village of Vrubivka in eastern Luhansk province, south-west of the fiercely contested cities of Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk.
While the use of flamethrowers on the battlefield is legal, Serhii Haidai, governor of Luhansk province, alleged the attacks overnight into Saturday caused widespread damage to civilian facilities.
Mr Haidai wrote on Telegram on Saturday morning: “Information about the number of victims in Vrubivka, in the Popasnyanska district, is being specified. At night, the enemy used a flamethrower rocket system – many houses burnt down.”
He also said Russian forces continued their assault on Sievierodonetsk and were destroying critical industrial facilities, including railway depots, a brick factory and a glass factory in neighbouring Lysychansk.
“(Russians are) destroying world-famous factories,” he said. “Thousands of Sievierodonetsk residents dream of returning and crossing the first checkpoint at Azot (a chemical plant), but the enemy is destroying both the city itself and the chemical industry.
Civilians have fled the intense fighting in eastern Ukraine, with women, children and elderly residents leaving on a special evacuation train that departed from the city of Pokrovsk and headed west.
Svitlana Kaplun, whose family fled as shelling reached their neighbourhood in the city of Krasnohorivka, said: “We live on the front line now. The kids are worried all the time, they are afraid to sleep at night, so we decided to take them out.”
After a bungled attempt to overrun the capital Kyiv in the early days of the war, Russia shifted its focus to an eastern region of coal mines and factories known as the Donbas.
The area borders Russia and has been partly controlled by Moscow-backed separatists since 2014.
The fighting there has led to mounting casualties and renewed pleas from Ukraine to the West for more weapons.
Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukraine’s president, told the BBC in an interview aired on Thursday that the daily loss of 100 to 200 Ukrainian soldiers is the result of a “complete lack of parity” between Ukraine and Russia.
He said only more advanced Western weaponry will turn back the Russian offensive and force Moscow to the negotiating table.
Fighting in the Donbas has now ground on for more than two months. A provincial governor said Russian and Ukrainian forces battled “for every house and every street” in Sievierodonetsk, a city that has recently been under steady attack.
Sievierodonetsk is in the last pocket of Luhansk province that has not yet been claimed by Russia or Moscow-backed separatists. The Luhansk and Donetsk regions together make up the Donbas. | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/world-news/2022/06/11/russians-accused-of-using-more-deadly-weapons-in-fight-for-eastern-ukraine/ | 2022-06-11T12:19:00Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/world-news/2022/06/11/russians-accused-of-using-more-deadly-weapons-in-fight-for-eastern-ukraine/ | true | 9 |
Automotive technology company, Autochek, has partnered with Fidelity Bank, Ghana’s largest privately-owned indigenous bank, to provide easier access to more financing options for consumers and businesses as a catalyst for growth in Ghana’s automotive sector.
Since the acquisition of Cheki Ghana in 2020, Autochek has been building the financial infrastructure to drive the penetration of auto financing in Ghana and across Africa, powered by a data analytics engine that makes it easier for financial institutions to offer credit to consumers and businesses. This new partnership will make it easier for consumers and businesses across Ghana to leverage Fidelity Bank’s range of financing options to purchase the desired vehicles via the Autochek platform.
Ghana is one of the fastest-growing automobile markets in Africa, projected to reach $11 billion in value by 2026, with a strong market for used cars and a growing market for new cars. However, a fragmented marketplace means stakeholders are often working in silos, which leads to various inefficiencies across the value chain.
Autochek is bringing together all relevant stakeholders to improve the automotive finance value proposition across the continent and drive shared value for consumers, manufacturers, financial institutions and other stakeholders.
When customers identify a vehicle that is available for financing on the Autochek platform, they simply need to fill out a short form to apply for the auto loan. If they meet the required criteria, they will begin to receive offers from financial institutions such as Fidelity Bank in Ghana. When the customer accepts the offer, they are able to receive their vehicle within 3 – 5 days.
According to Ayo Olabisi, Country Manager at Autochek, “Our mission is to deepen the penetration of auto financing across Africa, and Ghana represents a significant market on that mission. Fidelity Bank has an established reputation for delivering great products and services, and we are looking forward to working more closely with them to connect more Ghanaians to auto financing that works for them and other stakeholders in the automotive industry.”
Nana Esi Idun-Arkhurst, Divisional Director, Retail Banking at Fidelity Bank said “This partnership with Autocheck is to support individuals and businesses to purchase their dream cars at competitive rates and without stress. We have an exciting range of financing options that they can take advantage of, and we are confident that with Autochek’s technology, we will achieve significant impact across Ghana’s automotive value chain”.
“This collaboration emphasises our commitment to partner with relevant stakeholders to roll out products and services that align to the needs of our numerous customers and non-customers alike”, she added. | https://citinewsroom.com/2022/06/autochek-partners-with-fidelity-bank-to-offer-auto-financing-in-ghana/ | 2022-06-11T12:21:13Z | https://citinewsroom.com/2022/06/autochek-partners-with-fidelity-bank-to-offer-auto-financing-in-ghana/ | true | 2 |
What is Ramsay Hunt syndrome: Justin Bieber reveals facial paralysis diagnosis
LOS ANGELES - Justin Bieber canceled multiple shows before revealing on social media that the singer has been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
Bieber, 28, shared the news in a video on Instagram Friday showing fans that the right side of his face has been paralyzed.
"As you can probably see from my face, I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt syndrome," Bieber said on Instagram. "It is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis."
What is Ramsay Hunt syndrome
According to Mayo Clinic, Ramsay Hunt syndrome occurs when a shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near one ear.
In addition to the painful shingles rash, Ramsay Hunt syndrome can cause facial paralysis and hearing loss in the affected ear.
Mayo Clinic explained that Ramsay Hunt syndrome is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. After chickenpox clears up, the virus still lives in your nerves. Years later, it may reactivate. When it does, it can affect your facial nerves.
Prompt treatment of Ramsay Hunt syndrome can reduce the risk of complications, which can include permanent facial muscle weakness and deafness.
Ramsay Hunt syndrome symptoms
Mayo Clinic explained the two main signs and symptoms of Ramsay Hunt syndrome are a painful red rash with fluid-filled blisters on, in and around one ear or facial weakness or paralysis on the same side as the affected ear.

"Usually, the rash and the facial paralysis occur at the same time. Sometimes one can happen before the other. Other times, the rash never occurs," Mayo Clinic wrote.
RELATED: Justin Bieber reveals facial paralysis, says he's been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome
If you have Ramsay Hunt syndrome, you might also experience ear pain, hearing loss, ringing in your ears (tinnitus), difficulty closing one eye, a sensation of spinning or moving (vertigo), a change in taste perception or loss of taste or dry mouth and eyes.
Mayo Clinic suggests calling your doctor if you experience facial paralysis or a shingles rash on your face. Treatment that starts within three days of the start of signs and symptoms may help prevent long-term complications.
Justin Bieber diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome
In his social media post, the "Peaches" singer showed fans that he could not blink his right eye, move his right nostril or smile with the right side of his mouth.
"For those who are frustrated by my cancelations of the next shows, I'm just physically, obviously, not capable of doing them," he said. "This is pretty serious as you can see. I wish this wasn't the case, but obviously, my body is telling me that I've got to slow down."
Bieber continued: "I hope you guys understand. I'll just be using this time to rest and relax and get back to 100 perfect so that I can do what I was born to do."
Bieber thanked his fans for being "patient" with him as he recovers.
"I'm going to get better, and I'm doing all of these face exercises to get my face back to normal," he said. "It will go back to normal, it's just time. We don't know how much time it's going to be. It's going to be okay."
Justin Bieber cancels shows after Ramsay Hunt syndrome diagnosis
Bieber recently canceled multiple shows in Toronto. The musician was set to perform June 7 and 8 at the Scotiabank Arena.
"Can’t believe I’m saying this. I’ve done everything to get better but my sickness is getting worse," he wrote on Instagram ahead of the concerts.
"My heart breaks that I will have to postpone these next few shows (doctors orders). To all my people I love you so much and I’m gonna rest and get better!"
Hailey Bieber had health scare in March
This news comes only a couple of months after Bieber’s wife Hailey Bieber had her own health scare in March, suffering a blood clot to her brain.
Bieber posted on Instagram that she was having breakfast with her husband on Thursday when she began feeling stroke-like symptoms.
RELATED: What young people need to know about strokes
"Although this was definitely one of the scariest moments I’ve ever been through, I’m home now and doing well, and I’m so grateful and thankful to all the amazing doctors and nurses who took care of me," she wrote.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Authorities on the Gulf coast of Mexico said the bodies of seven men have been found dumped on a roadway in the Huasteca region, long popular among tourists.
Prosecutors in San Luis Potosi state said late Thursday the bodies did not appear to be from the township of Aquismon, and may have been killed elsewhere and dumped in the rural area.
Photos of the bodies showed extensive bruising on the corpses, suggesting they had been beaten.
Writing scrawled in markers on the corpses said “this is what happened to me for working with the Gulf,” an apparent reference to the Gulf cartel, which operates mainly along the U.S. border to the north.
The messages were signed “Valles Operation O.B.,” apparently a reference to a rival gang.
The Huasteca region has long been popular with Mexican tourists for its waterfalls and crystalline rivers. | https://www.localdvm.com/news/us-and-world/ap-international/battered-bodies-of-7-men-dumped-on-road-in-mexico/ | 2022-06-11T12:33:35Z | https://www.localdvm.com/news/us-and-world/ap-international/battered-bodies-of-7-men-dumped-on-road-in-mexico/ | false | null |
CAESAREA, Israel (AP) — Divers visiting the ancient seaport of Caesarea on Israel’s Mediterranean coast occasionally find treasure, but on Friday they searched for trash.
Twenty six scuba-diving volunteers removed around 45 kilograms (100 pounds) of garbage from between the sunken pillars and submerged ruins of the historic site of Caesarea Maritima as part of a United Nations World Oceans Day initiative.
Dozens more at sites along Israel’s Mediterranean coast and on the Red Sea reefs in the Israeli resort of Eilat removed more than 150 kilograms (330 pounds) of trash. The cleanup included bottles and bags, ghost nets, fishing lines, aluminum cans, lost towels and other odd items, including a beach lounger, that were polluting coastal waters.
The events were organized by the Israeli Diving Federation with support from the Environmental Protection Ministry and Nature and Parks Authority, which manages the coastal areas, including Caesarea’s Roman-period port.
The U.N. marked World Oceans Day on Wednesday, but the scuba diving volunteers were taking to the water to clean the sites on Friday and Saturday, Israel’s weekend.
The U.N.’s environment program says the equivalent of a garbage truck full of plastic is dumped into the ocean each minute. Plastic waste can take centuries to degrade, and causes extensive damage to marine ecosystems. | https://www.localdvm.com/science/ap-science/israeli-divers-haul-trash-from-ancient-site-for-oceans-day/ | 2022-06-11T12:36:40Z | https://www.localdvm.com/science/ap-science/israeli-divers-haul-trash-from-ancient-site-for-oceans-day/ | false | 30 |
The country has shown exemplary resilience in recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) Anantha Nageswaran said on Saturday.
Nageswaran was addressing an event on "Indian Economy: Prospects, Challenges and Action Points" at Haryana Institute of Public Administration (HIPA) here. "India has shown an exemplary resilience in recovering from a crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic," he said.
All major activities and parameters of the economy have crossed their pre-COVID levels, and it is now enjoying macroeconomic tailwinds, he added.
Quick and precise steps have been taken by the government at the policy level, which was supported by the Reserve Bank of India's timely interventions, the advisor noted.
Compared to developing and developed countries, the Indian economy is firm and stable in terms of various fundamentals. The developed world is moving from low inflation to high inflation and it is in such times that we have managed to keep inflationary pressure under check, he said.
The CEA said he is hopeful that as per the projections of the International Monetary Fund, India is heading towards achieving a GDP size of USD five trillion by 2027.
"Today, we have a strong revival of private investment, and the country has comfortable forex reserves to withstand turbulence in the international currency market. The exponential growth of digital payments in India during the last few years is an indication enough of fast changes in the informal sector," Nageswaran added. | https://www.cnbctv18.com/economy/india-shows-exemplary-resilience-in-recovery-from-covid-19-crisis-cea-13788802.htm/amp | 2022-06-11T12:39:18Z | https://www.cnbctv18.com/economy/india-shows-exemplary-resilience-in-recovery-from-covid-19-crisis-cea-13788802.htm/amp | true | 5 |
Super Netball finals picture takes shape as Giants win, Lightning claim worst-ever finish
Giants Netball are in with a chance to avenge last year’s grand final defeat, after securing their place in this year’s Suncorp Super Netball finals. Finishing third on the ladder after a three point victory against the Sunshine Coast Lightning, the Giants will host next week’s minor semi-final at Ken Rosewall Arena.
In contrast, wooden spooner’s Sunshine Coast Lightning have slumped to their worst ever finish, and will face a challenging rebuild ahead of 2023.
Giants fired out to a six-nil start, after three early turnovers from Lightning centre Maddie Hinchliffe gifted them a quick advantage. A time-out called by coach Kylee Byrne helped Lightning to settle, but it was one way traffic on the scoreboard as the Giants continued to extend their lead.
The Giants shooting circle was in imperious form - the combination of rising star Sophie Dwyer’s cool head and Jo Harten’s authority baffling defenders. While Harten led the way on the scoreboard, Dwyer showed why she’s a strong chance to be on the plane to the Commonwealth Games, finishing with 20/25.
In worrying signs for the Diamonds’ international campaign, their vice-captain and Lightning goal attack Steph Wood was out of sorts. After shooting just 3/6, she was replaced in the second quarter, and rotated on and off court after that.
Wood’s life was made difficult by Giants’ defensive end, with Tilly McDonnell, April Brandley and Amy Parmenter smothering Lightning’s attack, finishing with a combined six intercepts.and four rebounds.
After struggling in a 12-20 point second term, Lightning rejigged their forward line to start the second half, and inserted Wood into wing attack. The moves paid immediate dividends as Lightning started to eat into the lead, narrowing the margin from 14 to just six by three quarter time.
However, with their defenders continuing to come up with tips and touches, Giants resisted the narrowing margin. Described by the commentators as a ‘quiet achiever’, wing attack Maddy Hay found unlimited space to move around court, and provided her shooters with a reliable supply of ball.
Hay’s connection with her shooters was on point, as she racked up 49 feeds for just two errors.
Despite copping a heavy knock late in the game, Harten finished strongly with 45 from 49 and the MVP award, with the pumped up captain leading her troops to an important victory.
However, while Harten said after the match that the Giants can win the title this year, just a three point margin against the league’s cellar-dwellers suggest they still have work to do.
Giants coach Julie Fitzgerald said the win ‘means the world to us’, adding ‘I felt like our attack was always in control, and our shooters would bring the game home for us.’
DIAMOND DOZEN
With the Diamonds’ Commonwealth Games squad locked in and set to be publicly announced next week, five athletes from this match will already know their fate. Cara Koenen and Stephanie Wood are almost certainties, although Wood was worryingly quiet in today’s match. Jamie-Lee Price was also less than convincing after a recent rich vein of form, giving up nine turnovers during the game. Amy Parmenter and Sophie Dwyer will mostly likely miss out this time around, but their future looks bright.
NEW ADDITION TO THE LIGHTNING FAMILY
Lightning’s captain Karla Pretorius has been sorely missed during her maternity leave this season. One of the world’s best goal defenders, Pretorius safely delivered a daughter, Kara, on the 4th June, and is looking to return to netball next year.
COMBINATION CLARITY
Giants should continue as one of the competition’s in form teams in 2023, with all of their starting seven on two year deals. The value of building on-court combinations can never be underestimated. | https://www.foxsports.com.au/netball/super-netball-2022-results-ladder-finals-picture-giants-vs-sunshine-coast-lightning/news-story/9f72c31a63fa0c8b1c2f30bc75c57ea8 | 2022-06-11T12:39:21Z | https://www.foxsports.com.au/netball/super-netball-2022-results-ladder-finals-picture-giants-vs-sunshine-coast-lightning/news-story/9f72c31a63fa0c8b1c2f30bc75c57ea8 | true | 1 |
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Jesús Ferreira had a night to remember against an overwhelmed opponent in the United States’ World Cup sendoff.
The 21-year-old forward tied the U.S. international record with four goals that included a hat trick in a 13-minute span Friday night during a 5-0 rout over Grenada. The hard-to-evaluate performance against the world’s 170th-ranked team came in a CONCACAF Nations League match played 164 days before the Americans’ opener in Qatar.
Just three warmup matches remain before U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter picks his World Cup roster.
“I think I’m in a good spot,” said Ferreira, a son of former Colombian national team midfielder David Ferreira, the 2010 Major League Soccer MVP. “I’m not going to focus on the goals because I know they will come. Just having a good game will do the job.”
Ferreira is competing for a roster spot and playing time with Ricardo Pepi, Haji Wright, Josh Sargent, Jordan Pefok and Daryl Dike.
After an array of misfires, Ferreira put the 15th-ranked U.S. ahead in the 43rd minute, then added goals in the 54th, 56th and 78th to give him seven in 12 international matches. His four goals matched Landon Donovan (2003), Joe-Max Moore (1993), Buff Donelli (1934) and Archie Stark (1925).
“There’s a certain validation that you get as a striker when you do hit the back of the net,” Berhalter said.
Paul Arriola added a goal in the 62nd as the Americans stretched their home unbeaten streak to 26 games since a September 2019 loss to Mexico, matching the team record set from 2013-15.
On a 96-degree evening, stars Christian Pulisic and Tyler Adams didn’t dress for the Americans, who faced a Spice Boys team winless since beating the U.S. Virgin Islands in March 2021. The Americans had 67% possession and outshot Grenada 25-3, including 10-0 in the first half.
Ferreira got the first goal when Arriola crossed and the ball deflected off Kayden Harrack. Ferreira cut to the center and beat goalkeeper Jason Belfon inside the far post with a left-foot shot from 8 yards. The U.S. had entered with just one goal from the run of play by a forward in 13 games.
Ferreira doubled the lead with a right-footed shot inside the far post when he sprinted behind the defense as Arriola fed him, then beat Belfon to the far post with a 14-yard right foot shot after Kellyn Acosta played a corner kick on the ground.
Second-half sub Brenden Aaronson pulled Belfon off his line for Ferreira’s fourth, leaving him a 6-yard tap with his left foot into an open goal.
Arriola, Ferreira’s Dallas teammate, scored from inside the 6-yard box from Luca de la Torre’s pass, his 10th international goal.
Cameron Carter-Vickers started in his international competitive debut and joined Aaron Long to become the 20th center back pairing in 53 games since Berhalter was hired in December 2018. The U.S. made eight changes from Sunday’s 0-0 exhibition draw against Uruguay,
Malik Tillman, a 20-year-old attacker who switched to the Americans from Germany last month, made his competitive debut at the start of the second half when he replaced Weston McKennie.
The unusual prep schedule was caused by FIFA’s 2010 decision to stage the tournament in Qatar, a vote the U.S. Justice Department said was impacted by bribes paid to executive committee members of soccer’s governing body.
In 2015, FIFA moved the tournament to winter from its traditional June/July slot, a shift into the middle of the European club season that will limit pre-tournament training to one week and eliminated the U.S. Soccer Federation’s usual sendoff series.
The Americans play at El Salvador on Tuesday in the Nations League and plan exhibitions in Europe on Sept. 23 and 27, likely against Asian opponents. The U.S. opens the World Cup against No. 18 Wales on Nov. 21, faces No. 5 England in a Black Friday matchup four days later and finishes the first round against No. 21 Iran on Nov. 29.
Notes: GK Ethan Horvath and Wright didn’t play, perhaps leaving them to start at El Salvador. … MF Gio Reyna, sidelined by a leg injury since April 8, was at the training camp though not on the roster. His father, former U.S. captain Claudio Reyna, is sporting director of Austin’s MLS team.

Doctor Khumalo has bemoaned the lack of competition for Mamelodi Sundowns in domestic football.
Sundowns bagged all three of the domestic trophies on offer last term, including their fifth straight Premiership title.
Khumalo said he was frustrated watching a season unfold in such a predictable fashion.
He feels that the other teams and top talents need to do more to compete with Sundowns.
“I have a simple question for you: How does it feel to watch your opponents walking up to the podium to receive awards while watching them on television?. There are individual and team awards,” Doctor Khumalo wrote in his latest Soccer Laduma magazine column.
“I still wonder how it feels to watch opposition players and teams collecting awards while sitting in your lounge and watching them on television? Once again, I really hope that someone will show up and challenge Sundowns next season.
“The more players and teams raising their hands next season, the better it will be for our football. That’s how the game will be interesting and catch everyone’s eye. Everyone will start getting more interested in the game.”
Doctor Khumalo
Kaizer Chiefs are the only currently active PSL club other than Sundowns to win the Premiership in the last years and their last triumph came in 2015.
Bidvest Wits lifted the trophy in 2017 but the club sold their franchise in 2020.
Sundowns have won 12 of the 26 Premiership seasons contested and sport a huge lead over the Soweto Giants who each own four PSL trophy wins.
The Brazilians have become incredibly dominant in recent years winning the last two league titles by 13 and 16 points, whereas the first three league wins of their current sequence were achieved by five points or less.
While Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are most likely to mount a challenge, there are also ambitious clubs in the Western Cape and Kwazulu-Natal who would love to shift power in SA football. | https://www.thesouthafrican.com/sport/soccer/psl-south-africa/doctor-khumalo-sundowns-breaking-football-news/ | 2022-06-11T13:03:59Z | https://www.thesouthafrican.com/sport/soccer/psl-south-africa/doctor-khumalo-sundowns-breaking-football-news/ | true | 2 |
GLAMIS, Calif. — One of the five U.S. Marines killed when their Osprey aircraft crashed during a training flight near Glamis in Imperial County was identified on Friday as, Capt. John J. Sax, 33, of Placer, California, an MV-22B Pilot. Sax is also the the son of Steve Sax, 5x All Star, former Major League Baseball player for the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, Chicago White Sox and Oakland A’s.
Steve Sax said in statement,
“It is with complete devastation that I announce that my precious son, Johnny was one of the five (5) US Marines that perished on Wednesday, June 8 in the Osprey Military crash near San Diego” said Sax. “For those of you that knew Johnny, you saw his huge smile, bright light, his love for his family, the Marines, the joy of flying airplanes and defending our country! He was my hero and the best man I know, there was no better person to defend our country.” said Sax.
“Johnny Sax knew he wanted to be a pilot since his young years and would tell his Dad what types of planes were flying overhead while playing little league baseball in the outfield. “There was never any doubt from a young age that Johnny would be a pilot and his passion was to fly! I am so proud of the man he became and so proud to call him my son!” said Sax. “This loss will change my life forever and is a loss to not only the Marines but this world!”
John Sax served the Marine Corp for five years and eight months and was awarded with the National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and a Letter of Appreciation.
The U.S. Marine Corps identified the five servicemembers on Friday. The Marines died when their Osprey aircraft crashed Wednesday afternoon in the Southern California desert near Glamis in Imperial County.
All five marines were based at Marine Corps Air Station in Camp Pendleton.
“It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the loss of five Marines from the Purple Fox family” said Lt. Col. John C. Miller, Commanding Officer of VMM-364.
“This is an extremely difficult time for VMM-364 and it is hard to express the impact that this loss has had on our squadron and its families. Our primary mission now is taking care of the family members of our fallen Marines and we respectfully request privacy for their families as they navigate this difficult time. We appreciate all the prayers and support from the strong extended Purple Fox family and want them to know that more information will be forthcoming on how to help.”

Over the last few years, the world’s transition from powering our cars with gas-burning internal combustion engines to zipping along on battery power has accelerated faster than the Tesla Model S Plaid, which can supposedly got from zero to 60 mph in less than two seconds.
Setting aside my visceral love for the old muscle cars I grew up around, I wholeheartedly support that transition. My own “car” happens to be an electric bicycle (it used to be a regular bicycle, but knee problems made motorization attractive), and I hope that the next family vehicle, or the one after that, will be electric too.
That said, the urge to get society completely electrified and off of fossil fuels suffers from both propaganda oversell and from practical problems.
The big selling point for electrification has always been “emissions reduction.” Whether you accept mainstream climate theory or not, pouring less smog out of tailpipes and into the atmosphere seems like a good idea.
But electrifying cars does not, as such, solve that problem. It matters where the electricity comes from. Running a coal-fired power plant to charge your electric car doesn’t reduce overall pollution. It just moves that pollution off of city streets (which is nice) and into the air around the power plant (which doesn’t change the overall equation).
Lately, spiking gas prices due to U.S./EU sanctions over Russia’s war on Ukraine have come into vogue as reason to electrify. But again: Unless that electricity is produced using wind, solar, or nuclear, it still entails use of fossil fuels and the attendant pollution.
If electric makes sense for your situation, go electric. But don’t lie to yourself about how much good you’re doing the environment by transitioning. It’s a holistic problem, and electric cars are, at best, only part of the solution.
In addition, technology and infrastructure lag still make electrification a problem for those who need to travel long distances in a timely manner.
Rachel Wolfe recently chronicled an all-electric round trip between New Orleans and Chicago for the Wall Street Journal. The headline sums it up nicely: “I Rented an Electric Car for a Four-Day Road Trip. I Spent More Time Charging It Than I Did Sleeping.”
Even assuming sufficient charging stations along your route (an infrastructure problem), charging your car still burns a lot of time (a technology problem). Even “fast charge” facilities take much longer than a gas fill-up.
Will these problems be solved? Almost certainly. The market for electric cars continues to grow, so the market for more and faster charging options will too. We’ll get there. But we’re not there yet.
Unfortunately, the urge to “nudge” us in that direction with government subsidies and spending programs will almost certainly take us down various paths that produce worse rather than better outcomes.
Instead of subsidizing electric cars, governments should stop subsidizing fossil fuels. Free markets will always solve these kinds of problems faster, better, and with fewer unintended consequences than government propaganda and force. | https://www.news-journal.com/opinion/knapp-electric-cars-a-great-idea-but-not-a-panacea/article_92fd5b22-e84d-11ec-8cfb-abe63ab80b35.html | 2022-06-11T13:09:40Z | https://www.news-journal.com/opinion/knapp-electric-cars-a-great-idea-but-not-a-panacea/article_92fd5b22-e84d-11ec-8cfb-abe63ab80b35.html | false | 3 |
UKRAINE says it is ready to swap Russian prisoners of war to secure the release of hero fighters Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner.
The Britons - both serving members of Ukraine's army - were sentenced to death by a kangaroo court after reportedly being tricked to admit they are terrorists.
Expats Aiden, 28, and Shaun, 48, were captured after running out of ammo during the brutal siege of Mariupol.
They were convicted of being illegal mercenaries in a sham trial by Putin's proxies in the occupied Donetsk region.
Ukraine says they were soldiers who should be protected as prisoners of war under international law.
And last night the country's ambassador to the UK, Vadym Prystaiko, suggested they will be freed in a prisoner swap deal with Russia.
In return Putin could demand the release of a number of pro-Kremlin Ukrainian politicians who have been detained for alleged spying.
“It will be a swap,” Mr Prystaiko told BBC News.
“The important question is what will be the price for this, because the Russians were talking about some Ukrainian MPs being swapped for them, especially for those who, I now understand, were working for them for all these years.”
The ambassador added Aiden and Shaun “have contracts with the armed forces, they lived in Ukraine before, so they are legitimately there."
Most read in News
He said: “We expect Russians to remember that these are our people, and should be treated as prisoners of war - the same way we are treating Russians who are in our captivity.”
It comes after Boris Johnson ordered ministers to do "everything in their power" to ensure the release of the two Britons.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and Defence Secretary Ben Wallace both spoke to their Ukrainian counterparts yesterday.
Ms Truss said the court's judgment was "an egregious breach of the Geneva convention".
Sources the government will “leave no stone unturned”.
But UK diplomats are wary of directly challenging Russia over the issue, fearing they would hand Putin a huge propaganda victory, the BBC reports.
They also cannot negotiate with authorities in Donetsk because Britain does not recognise it as a legitimate state.
Instead they are focused on helping Ukraine secure the safety of its legally recognised POWs.
And a source told The Daily Telegraph: “It’s really important that we don’t give the Russians any ammo to paint these guys as mercenaries.”
Analysts say the Kremlin hopes to drag Britain into a war of words so they can claim the West is sending saboteurs to attack Russians.
'Barbaric'
Yesterday we told how Aiden and Shaun had rung the Sun news desk on a satellite phone with scripted please to beg for their lives.
Shaun’s mum Denise Price, 65, who also got a call, said: “It seems he is being used for propaganda.”
The two men were also allegedly tricked into confessions after being promised lighter sentences.
Robert Jenrick, MP for Newark where Aiden's family lives, said he wants to see both men brought back to their families, "probably by a prisoner exchange".
But he added that Russia appears "to be in no hurry to progress these prisoner exchanges".
Shaun is a former Royal Anglian soldier from Bedfordshire, and Aiden is a former care worker from Newark, Notts.
Both men had lived in Ukraine since 2018 and were professional salaried soldiers in the country’s 36th Marines.
Journalists were not allowed into their fast-track trial, and all the news from the court came via Russian state media.
They were seen in a metal cage on a Telegram video alongside Moroccan fighter Saaudun Brahim, 21, who was also sentenced to death.
Today Shaun's family said they are "devastated and saddened at the outcome of the illegal show trial".
They added: "As a Ukrainian resident for over four years and contracted serving marine in the 36th Brigade, of which he is very proud, Shaun should be accorded all the rights of a prisoner of war according to the Geneva Convention and including full independent legal representation.
"We sincerely hope that all parties will co-operate urgently to ensure the safe release or exchange of Shaun.
"Our family, including his son and Ukrainian wife, love and miss him so much and our hearts go out to all the families involved in this awful situation."
It is reported Aiden's mum Ang Wood found out about the death sentence while watching TV news.
Aiden’s family said after the verdicts: "We love Aiden with all our hearts.
"He and Shaun, as members of Ukrainian armed forces, should be treated with respect just like any other prisoners of war. They are not, and never were, mercenaries.
"We hope that this sentence will be overturned and beseech the governments of the UK and Ukraine to do everything in their power to have them returned to us safely, and soon.
"We can only imagine what they are going through right now."

Observers have described the charges as "fabricated" and the trial as a "demonstrative" attempt to imitate the trials of Russian soldiers for war crimes in Kyiv.
Downing Street says the UK government is "deeply concerned" at the death sentences.
Tom Tugendhat MP, chair of the foreign affairs committee, branded the act a "war crime" and a "barbaric violation" of the Geneva Convention.
"Its not a state, its not a court, and the judges are people merely dressing up and pretending," he told BBC Radio 4.
"The reality is this is an absolutely brutal thing to do to three completely innocent people."
Ukrainian prosecutor general Iryna Venediktova said the sentencing was "nothing else but a violation and mockery of international humanitarian law and international human rights law obligations of Russia as an occupying power via proxies".

Susan A. “Susie” Konichek, 56, of Eastman, passed away Monday, June 6, 2022, at her home surrounded by her family. She was born March 13, 1966, the daughter of Ed and Clarice “Olga” (Torger) Fisher. Her family moved to the Seneca area where she attended school and graduated from Seneca High School. Susie married Doug Konichek on Sept. 24, 1988, and together they worked and raised their family in the Fennimore area. After working at Family Medical Center for 25 years, Susie and her family moved to Lazy Acres, in 2011, to farm and milk cows. She enjoyed gardening, canning, and cooking. Her family loved her lefsa, but she was particularly known for baking her cinnamon rolls. She also enjoyed ice fishing in the winter, and she volunteered her time at Salem United Methodist Church in Eastman and St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Wauzeka for many years. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2628064689848/roger-w-allert | 2022-06-11T13:32:35Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2628064689848/roger-w-allert | true | 9 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — A man armed with a machete once broke into Stephen Breyer’s vacation home in the Caribbean and took $1,000. Ruth Bader Ginsburg had her purse snatched on a Washington street. David Souter was assaulted by several men while he was jogging.
Supreme Court justices have not been immune to violent crime. But this past week’s late-night incident at Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s suburban Washington home, where authorities said a man armed with a gun and knife threatened to kill the justice, reflects a heightened level of potential danger not just for members of the nation’s highest court, but all judges.
One proposal pending in Congress would provide additional security measures for the justices, and another would offer more privacy and protection for all federal judges.
Round-the-clock security given to the justices after the leak of the draft opinion in a major abortion case may well have averted a tragedy.
But the situation had much in common with other recent incidents that ended with the shooting death of a former judge in Wisconsin last week and the killing in 2020 of the son of a federal judge at their home in New Jersey. Troubled men, harboring a warped desire for vengeance and equipped with guns, turned their threats into action.
“We’re seeing these threats increase in number and intensity. That’s a sign. That’s a signal,” said U.S. District Judge Esther Salas, whose son was killed nearly two years ago in the attack that also wounded her husband.
Kavanaugh’s would-be attacker is Nicholas John Roske, 26, of Simi Valley, California, authorities said in charging him with the attempted murder of a justice. Clad in black, he arrived by taxi outside Kavanaugh’s Maryland home around 1 a.m. Wednesday.
He spotted two U.S. Marshals who were guarding the house and walked in the other direction, calling 911 to say he was having suicidal thoughts and also planned to kill Kavanaugh, according to court documents. Roske said he found the justice’s address on the internet.
When police searched a backpack and suitcase he was carrying, they said they found a Glock 17 pistol, ammunition, a knife, zip ties, duct tape and other items Roske said he was going to use to break into the house. He said he bought the gun to kill Kavanaugh.
Roske told police he was upset by the leaked draft opinion in the abortion case and by the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and believed Kavanaugh would vote to loosen gun control laws, according to documents filed in federal court in Maryland.
Last week, Wisconsin authorities said Douglas Uhde, 56, shot John Roemer, a former county judge, in a targeted attack against a judge who had once sentenced him to prison. Roemer was found zip-tied to a chair. Uhde had shot himself and later died.
In July 2020, lawyer Roy Den Hollander showed up at Judge Salas’ home posing as a FedEx delivery person. Den Hollander fatally shot Salas’ 20-year-old son, Daniel Anderl, and wounded her husband, Mark Anderl. The judge was in another part of the home at the time and was not injured.
Den Hollander, 72, was a men’s rights lawyer with a history of anti-feminist writings. He was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound the day after the ambush, when police said they found a document with information about a dozen female judges from across the country, half of whom are Latina, including Salas.
Authorities believe Den Hollander was also tracking Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Salas said in a televised interview last year, because they found a manila folder with information about Sotomayor when they searched a locker belonging to Den Hollander.
Over the years, Supreme Court justices have called on Congress to provide more money for their security. But at the same time, the justices often shrugged off protection when it was offered. When Justice Antonin Scalia died on a hunting trip in Texas in 2016, for example, he did not have a security detail with him.
In recent years, the court has stepped up security for the justices. The court routinely refuses to discuss protection for the nine justices, but Justice Amy Coney Barrett said earlier this year that she was not prepared for how much more extensive security is now than when she worked for Scalia in the late 1990s.
Sotomayor likes to walk among guests at her public appearances, often joking about the armed officers who are there to protect her. “The guys up here. The big guys with stuff around their waist and things. They’re here to protect you from me,” she said to laughter at an event this year. “They get nervous if you get up unexpectedly. … Please don’t make them nervous.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Thursday that the House would take up a bill with bipartisan support that already has passed the Senate that would expand protection to the members of the justices’ immediate families.
Gabe Roth, of the court reform group Fix the Court, said in his view the justices “need Secret Service-level protection, which has only become more obvious this week. I’ve said it for years.”
A separate bill, named in memory of Salas’ son, would provide more privacy and protections for all federal judges, including scrubbing personal information from the internet, to deal with mounting cyberthreats. The U.S. Marshals Service, which protects about 2,700 federal judges and thousands more prosecutors and court officials, said there were 4,511 threats and inappropriate communications in 2021, compared with 926 such incidents in 2015.
The legislation, also widely supported by lawmakers in both parties, has been blocked by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who wants it to apply to members of Congress as well.
Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., the bill’s author, said the Kavanaugh incident and Roemer’s death in Wisconsin make plain the need for the legislation. “Our bill is the only existing proposal to protect the personal information of judges and their families,” Menendez said in an email.
A similar bill in the House has not even gotten a hearing.
Meanwhile, the internet has made it much easier to find personal information pertaining to judges, and everyone else.
“We talk a lot about what can be done. How about we stop arming the public with information they are using to kill us? How about we do that?” Salas said Friday in an interview with The Associated Press.
But even before the digital age, judges were sometimes the targets of people who harbored grudges about their treatment in the criminal justice system. In a book, retired Texas Judge Susan P. Baker details 42 judges, including three at the federal level, who were murdered or otherwise met suspicious ends in the 20th century.
In the past 17 years, three close relatives of federal judges have been killed in attacks at the judges’ homes, including Salas’ son. In 2005, U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow returned from work to find her husband and mother shot dead in the basement of her Chicago home. The killer was a homeless electrician who had lost a medical malpractice suit in her courtroom.
U.S. District Judge Roslynn R. Mauskopf, who heads the office responsible for federal courts administration, said the incident at Kavanaugh’s house is just the most recent reminder that “threats against judges are real and they can have and have had dire consequences.” | https://www.woodtv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/kavanaugh-incident-could-lead-to-more-security-for-judges-these-threats-increase-in-number-and-intensity/ | 2022-06-11T13:43:42Z | https://www.woodtv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/kavanaugh-incident-could-lead-to-more-security-for-judges-these-threats-increase-in-number-and-intensity/ | false | 24 |

It's a story out of Pennsylvania that Today describes as "something straight out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." The local fire department received quite an unusual call on Thursday, when it was informed that two maintenance workers at the Mars Wrigley plant in Elizabethtown, known for making M&Ms and other sweet treats, had fallen into a vat of chocolate and couldn't get out. According to the Lancaster County 911 dispatch, the chocolate was said to have been about waist-deep, reports PennLive.com.
The dispatch notes that the employees fell into the vat shortly before 2pm local time. Fire crews tried to pull the workers out of the tank but couldn't, so instead, they had to "cut a hole in the side of the tank to get them out," dispatch communications supervisor Brad Wolfe tells CNN, adding that it wasn't yet clear how the workers fell into the vat. WHTM reports that the first employee was freed at around 3:10pm, and the second 15 minutes later.
Both were taken to area hospitals, likely as a precaution, as Wolfe tells CNN that no injuries had been reported. A Mars Wrigley spokesperson said the company was "extremely grateful for the quick work of the first responders," per WHTM. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the incident.

WALLINGFORD, Conn. (AP) — A monument in Wallingford honoring local Vietnam veterans has been the target of two acts of vandalism, police said.
A swastika was recently found spray painted across the names of veterans on the monument in Dutton Park, police told WTIC-TV. That incident followed another in which vandals painted the word “die” on one side of the and a depiction of male genitalia on the other.
Authorities have offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the vandals.
“The deliberate and disgraceful attack on the memory of these heroes will not be tolerated nor with the hateful rhetoric that members of the Wallingford community have been exposed to," Police Chief John Ventura said in a statement Friday. | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Reward-offered-after-vandals-deface-veterans-17235199.php | 2022-06-11T14:03:38Z | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Reward-offered-after-vandals-deface-veterans-17235199.php | false | null |
CLAYMONT, Del. (AP) — Delaware’s first in-patient substance use treatment facility for pregnant and parenting women will open this summer, serving up to 20 women struggling with the disorder.
The residential treatment facility, the first of its kind for Delaware, will be operated by Gaudenzia, Inc. in Claymont. The nonprofit currently provides a supportive recovery home for pregnant women and their children, but it is a lower level of care compared to a residential treatment facility.
Gaudenzia offers those services in other states and the latest partnership struck with the state’s Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health will now bring the much-needed service to Delaware. The organization hopes to open its doors to the higher intensity service July 1, with the step-down services expected to be available in the fall.
“This is a historical day for Delaware, Gaudenzia and for a population that desperately needs treatment services,” Gaudenzia CEO Dr. Dale Klatzker said in a news release. “Research shows that family-centered treatment for pregnant and parenting women is a smart investment with both immediate and long-term economic and social benefits.”
The $3.2 million contract, funded through federal dollars, comes on the heels of the Division of Forensic Science’s annual report, which revealed overdose deaths increased more than 15% in 2021 to 515 in Delaware, continuing a deadly trend seen across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Overdose deaths increased 5.4% in 2020 in the First State, with 447 deaths statewide – up from 431 in 2019.
Females accounted for 32% of overdose deaths last year, according to the report. Those aged 31-40 accounted for the highest number of deaths at 144 followed by those aged 41 to 50. Most of the overdose deaths occurred in New Castle County.
Seventy percent of women with substance use disorder also have children but may avoid treatment because of a lack of childcare or fear of losing custody of their children, Gaudenzia statistics show. As a result, Delaware has the nation’s fifth-highest rate of pregnant women with substance use disorder.
There was a 148% increase in substance-exposed infant births to Delaware women between 2015 and 2019, further highlighting the need for enhanced services.
The proposed treatment facility, which will utilize existing space Gaudenzia has in Claymont, will have one floor providing high-intensity, clinically managed residential treatment for 10 women and another floor for lower-intensity services for 10 women.
Both options will include on-site medical and psychiatric services, case management, on-site childcare, meals, room and board. There will also be 24-hour supervision and access to medical, clinical, childcare and support staff.
Women can receive this treatment while up to two children each are living with them at the facility.
Joanna Champney, director of the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health, said Delaware didn’t want pregnant and parenting people to have the make the choice of going out of state for services or foregoing them altogether.
“We hope that by having services in the state, patients will no longer have to leave the state’s lines to access these services. It was a critical system gap that we identified,” Champney said. “There was sober living for pregnant and parenting women, but true inpatient substance use treatment patients would have to leave the state.”
Gaudenzia began talks of opening a residential treatment facility in Delaware last year amid the exit of Connections Community Support Programs, which was one of the state’s largest providers of mental health and substance use treatment.
While Connections settled federal fraud allegations and was bought by Pennsylvania-based Inperium Inc. after filing for bankruptcy, the nonprofit’s downfall resulted in recovery home closures that only compounded the lack of services for pregnant and parenting women struggling with addiction in Delaware.
Gaudenzia wanted to change that. The nonprofit already offered a supportive recovery home, called Safe Haven, for up to 10 women and their children in Claymont, but it lacked the higher level of care a residential treatment facility would provide.
Gaudenzia opened its first facility for pregnant and parenting women in 1979 in Lancaster, Pa. It currently operates 14 centers for women with children across Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey.
Gail Hannah, executive director for Gaudenzia Eastern Region, said one of the key differences with a residential treatment facility will be services for the whole family.
“The children will also receive services. We’ll be addressing the needs of the entire family,” Hannah said. “Even if there are children who are not able to come to treatment with the mother, we would incorporate them in services.”
Champney said the state will be monitoring the utilization of Gaudenzia’s program and could expand accordingly. In the meantime, other providers have stepped up to the plate to expand sober living options as well, she said.
While some people may need inpatient care to treat substance use disorder, others may not need that high-intensity care. Meanwhile, those who use inpatient care eventually step down to a sober living environment, often staying longer in that setting, which increases the demand for those services as well, Champney said.
“Adding Gaudenzia programming fleshes out the different levels of care and meets the diverse population’s needs,” she said. “There is a whole continuum of care for treatment.” | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Delaware-gets-substance-use-treatment-for-women-17235162.php | 2022-06-11T14:05:36Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Delaware-gets-substance-use-treatment-for-women-17235162.php | false | 21 |
Austrian pork prices skyrocketing
Austrian prices for pork soared 40% in less than two months, with the volumes of sold meat dropping 20% in May alone, as consumers opt to purchase cheaper goods such as rice, pasta and potatoes, Austrian newspaper WochenBlick reports.
“I’ve been in the business for over 30 years, I’ve never experienced so many critical conditions,” Schweineboerse boss Johann Schlederer said in an interview with the media. “What hurts the farmers the most is the daily bashing.”
Fewer and fewer consumers are turning to high-quality pork due to the surging cost of living, driving some 500 of 2,000 farms in the region to the brink of bankruptcy.
The price spike is attributed to inefficient steps taken by authorities to absorb the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine, along with sanctions pressure, has only exacerbated the current crisis, sending prices for raw materials, fertilizers and fuel soaring to record highs.
Last week, EU leaders approved a sixth package of anti-Russia penalties, which includes an oil embargo. Member states have six months to stop imports of Russian crude either by sea or pipeline, and eight months to end purchases of refined petroleum products.
Russia has faced unprecedented sanctions after it launched a military operation in neighboring Ukraine on February 24. The penalties, along with Moscow’s countermeasures, are reportedly jeopardizing the supply of grain, fertilizers, and energy to global markets.

EastEnders actress Letitia Dean has stunned fans after she dropped a whopping four dress sizes in just four months.
When Letitia returned to EastEnders as Sharan Watts earlier this year, it wasn't just her reappearance in Albert Square that wowed fans. It was her incredible weight loss transformation, too.
The actress lost a whopping two stone before she stepped back on the set of the popular BBC1 soap and was branded a "skinny Queen" by viewers.
READ MORE:Adam Woodyatt slams EastEnders bosses over Ian Beale and reveals why he quit
In just four months, Letitia went from 10st 4lbs to 8st 3lbs, having dropped an incredible four dress sizes.
But how did she do it?
Letitia has been on our screens for years since joining the show back in 1985.
Over time, fans have watched as her weight fluctuated, with the actress previously stating she'd tried every fad diet on the market.
"The cabbage soup diet, the Atkins and a really disgusting eggs-only diet," she said in the past.
In 2007, she took part in Strictly Come Dancing, proving she really did try everything in a bid to slim down.
"The main reason I [signed up was because [I] wanted to do something about my figure," she explained on EastEnders' spin-off show Secrets from the Square.
"I was so sick of extreme dieting and my weight yo-yoing."
And she admitted she had been mocked for her weight, with people telling her she was "too fat".
But now, she seems to have hit the nail on the head.
Alongside exercise, Letitia began a new diet plan and reduced her calorie intake to 1,300 in order to lose weight.
A calorie deficit is the energy your body requires to maintain your current weight, minus your dietary calorie intake.
According to WebMD, if a person wants to begin a calorie deficit, a good rule of thumb for healthy weight loss is a deficit of around 500 calories per day.
This, if done correctly, could promote the loss of about one pound per week.
Letitia revealed she only focussed on "healthy food" to shed her unwanted pounds.
She explained: "Pitta bread with a grilled skinless chicken breast, for instance, and lots of greens."
Letitia also noticed the food she was eating affected her energy.
"It was incredible," she beamed.
"I found I had so much more energy than when I used to eat junk food."
Following her return, fans took to social media to share their opinions on her new look, stating her weight loss "took years" off of her.

Putin humiliated as Russian military weaknesses laid bare: 'Not strong or powerful'
RUSSIA's army is "not powerful or strong", as evidenced by its failings in Ukraine, an expert tells Express.co.uk.
Putin's puppet threatens Poland with nuclear strike
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned today that it is "crucial for the world" to stop Russia's invasion. Speaking remotely at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, he added: “I am grateful for your support. "But this support is not only for Ukraine, but for you as well. "It is on the battlefields of Ukraine that the future rules of this world are being decided along with the boundaries of the possible.”
Fighting in the east of Ukraine is intensifying, but Russia's failure to seize major cities such as Kyiv and Kharkiv in the early days of the war surprised many experts.
In fact, one expert tells Express.co.uk that the Ukraine conflict has shown Russia's military to not be "strong or powerful".
Olga Lautman said: "All of the contracts that are handed to the defence ministry, a lot of that money is stolen meaning that money doesn't get invested in the military.
"Propaganda is their most successful tool, they basically led the West to believe that that had this extremely strong, powerful army.
"Meanwhile, the army is not powerful or strong, the corruption is also a problem. They also sent so many conscripts who were untrained.
"On top of that, morale was low to begin with...the logistics, the morale of the military, the corruption all compiled together has shown in the results.
"Also, Russia has never attempted to perform such a large operation. They are excellent at smaller operations, but you'd have to go back to Soviet times to see the military attempt to take an entire country."
The Russian army has suffered a surprisingly high amount of losses during the war.
Mr Zelensky claimed earlier this week that 31,000 Russian troops have been killed.
The Ukrainian president also warned Vladimir Putin that “the day will come” when the number of losses will “go beyond the possible limit” even for Moscow.
He added: “More than 31,000 Russian soldiers have died in Ukraine.

“Russia has been paying for this senseless war with almost 300 lives of their soldiers daily.”
However, an aide to Mr Zelensky has said that Ukraine is also losing men – as many as 200 a day.
He also said Kyiv is not ready to resume peace talks with the Kremlin.
Mykhaylo Podolyak said: "The Russian forces have thrown pretty much everything non-nuclear at the front and that includes heavy artillery, multiple rocket launch systems and aviation."
He also urged the West once more to provide lethal aid to Ukraine
He added: "Our demands for artillery are not just some kind of whim... but an objective need when it comes to the situation on the battlefield."

The UK has also become embroiled in the hostility – Russia announced this week that two British fighters have been sentenced to death after being captured in Ukraine.
State-owned Russian news agency RIA Novosti said Aiden Aslin, 28, and Shaun Pinner, 48 would face the death penalty.
The two Britons were captured in Mariupol in April during the intense fight for control of the port city.
According to reports from Russian media, they have admitted "training in order to carry out terrorist activities".
The men were found guilty of "mercenary activities and committing actions aimed at seizing power and overthrowing the constitutional order of the DPR (Donetsk People's Republic).
In court, Mr Aslin said: "I was hoping the sentence would be a lot fairer judging the circumstances in which I helped the investigation and also because I surrendered to the Donetsk People's Republic.
"I wish it could be different but God will be the one that will judge me when the time comes."
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said she "utterly condemned" the sentencing, describing it as a "sham judgment with absolutely no legitimacy". | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1624013/putin-news-russian-military-ukraine-war-invasion-spt | 2022-06-11T14:23:21Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1624013/putin-news-russian-military-ukraine-war-invasion-spt | false | 1 |
On Wednesday, Google announced the release of Android 13 Beta 3 for Pixel phones, marking the Platform Stability milestone for Android 13 in general. Simply said, the release had already reached a point where Developers needed to start all the final compatibility testing for their apps and prepare to release their compatible versions soon. This is the penultimate beta release before the final build gets pushed to all users.
The beta release (build TPB3.220513.017) targeted a couple of stability issues and a new copy/paste behavior where the system displays a visual confirmation when content is added to the clipboard. This additional widget makes it easier for users to know that copying has been successful and provides a way to edit what is in the clipboard. Furthermore, it appears that the widget will gain the capability to share and send cross-device down the line.
However, only two days later, Beta 3.1 (build TPB3.220513.017.B1) was released. This minor patch addressed one thing only — the sudden disappearance of the Android Beta Feedback app for some users. It is unclear what percentage of users were affected by this bug, but being that this is a beta release where feedback is encouraged, it was enough that this patch was needed right away. Below is a list of the issues resolved with Beta 3 and Beta 3.1:
Issues resolved with Android 13 Beta 3
Issues resolved with Android 13 Beta 3.1- Fixed an issue where unlocking the phone with a fingerprint while Always On Display was active would sometimes cause the entire screen to be tinted green temporarily.
- Fixed an issue on Pixel devices where swiping on the all apps search result page would sometimes cause the Pixel Launcher to crash.
- This minor update to Android 13 Beta 3 fixes an issue where the Android Beta Feedback app was not available on Android 13 Beta 3 in some cases.
The update is rolling out via OTA (over-the-air) on supported Pixel devices (Pixel 4, 4a, 5, 5a, 6, and 6 Pro series) enrolled in the Android Beta Program. You can check for the update by going to Settings > System > System updates. Those already running a developer preview of Android 13 will automatically get this and future updates. | https://chromeunboxed.com/android-13-beta-3-and-3-1-released | 2022-06-11T14:25:47Z | https://chromeunboxed.com/android-13-beta-3-and-3-1-released | true | 1 |
Venezuelan leader, Iranian president sign 20-year agreement
Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and Iran's hard-line president signed a 20-year cooperation agreement Saturday, a day after Maduro praised the Islamic Republic for sending badly needed fuel to his nation despite U.S. sanctions.
In an interview with President Maduro after his arrival in Tehran for a two-day visit, Iranian state media reported late Friday that Maduro hailed Iran's move to send fuel tankers to his energy-hungry nation.
"Tehran's delivery of oil to Caracas was a great help to the Venezuelan people," he said.
Maduro's first visit to Iran comes amid tensions across the Middle East over the collapse of Iran's nuclear deal with world powers. U.S. sanctions and rising global food prices are choking Iran's ailing economy, putting further pressure on its government and its people.
A high-ranking political and economic delegation from Venezuela -- which like Iran is under heavy U.S. sanctions -- is accompanying Maduro on his visit, following an invitation from hard-line President Ebrahim Raisi.
In a joint press conference Saturday, Raisi and Maduro signed a 20-year agreement to expand ties in the oil and petrochemical industries, the military and the economy.
Iranian English-language PressTV quoted Maduro before the news conference as saying the two men would meet to discuss "the need to well inform the Iranian and Venezuelan nations about the war of sanctions and find ways to counter them with steadfastness."
Maduro said Venezuela and Iran are united by "a common vision" on international issues and are both victims of coercive measures by the United States and its allies.
"Caracas and Tehran have shaped the strategy of (a) resistance economy and are working to expand it," he said.
Maduro is on a Eurasia tour after U.S. President Joe Biden decided not to invite him to the Summit of the Americas, which began Thursday. His stops earlier this week included Algeria and Turkey.
Turkey is one of a handful of places around the world -- Russia and Iran are among them -- where Maduro is welcome amid U.S. sanctions on his country.
Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua were not invited to the summit by the Biden administration due to their authoritarianism and human rights violations. That decision led to Mexico's president announcing he would not attend.
Raisi praised Maduro as a leader "who has shown a policy of fighting against imperialism and has achieved a good position by overcoming sanctions and threats."
Maduro announced that a direct flight between Tehran and Caracas would begin next month.
The semi-official Tasnim news agency later reported that Iran had delivered the oil tanker Aframax-2 to Venezuelan officials, the second of four vessels Iran was contracted to build for the South American country.
Amid rising tensions with the West, Iran has started removing 27 surveillance cameras from nuclear sites across the country, the head of the UN atomic watchdog said Thursday. He warned this could deal a "fatal blow" to the tattered nuclear deal as Tehran enriches uranium closer than ever to weapons-grade levels.
That development came a day after the International Atomic Energy Agency's board of governors censured Tehran for failing to provide "credible information" over manufactured nuclear material found at three undeclared sites in the country.
Iran's currency dropped to its lowest value ever after the censure -- to 326,300 rials to the dollar.

Once Again, Piers Morgan Is Tweeting About Meghan Markle
Noted large adult son Morgan spent much of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee gnashing his teeth at the sight of Markle.
Welcome to the latest edition of BuzzFeed News' culture newsletter, Cleanse the Timeline! You can subscribe here.
Hi there,
I’ve been inhaling Couples Therapy, a Showtime docuseries about people working through difficult, sometimes devastating issues. The raw friction is compelling, of course — as one of the show’s experts says, couples don’t usually seek the help of professionals until they’re in crisis. But what keeps me watching through the gut-wrenching conversations is the surprisingly reliable effect of love; these people often seem on the verge of an impasse or even a breakup, but with assistance from soothing and incisive therapist Orna Guralnik, they navigate life’s byways to end up back on the same path together.
In this edition of Cleanse the Timeline, there’s complicated friction everywhere (love ... not so much). Tomi Obaro recommends Vanessa Hua’s novel Forbidden City, the tale of a young village girl who eventually becomes one of Mao Zedong’s confidantes, trying to maintain her position of relative privilege even as he mistreats her. And Scaachi Koul notes that the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebration was the stage for another epic (though one-sided) battle between Piers Morgan and Meghan Markle.
Stay cool,
Estelle Tang, senior culture editor
Welcome to Read This, where we recommend something old or new to add to your ever-growing book pile.
Forbidden City by Vanessa Hua
Toward the end of Mao Zedong’s long, turbulent rule of China, he was known to ballroom dance with teen girls at party events. “I suspected — I knew — the relationships had to be more complicated — especially for those who he kept on as his ‘confidential clerks,’” writes Hua in her author’s note. There was very little formal record of the young women who worked alongside Mao, and so Hua, a journalist who lives in the Bay Area, has taken matters into her own hands with this fictional account of one such dancer, a young village girl named Mei, who eventually becomes one of the Communist Party leader’s confidantes. We first meet Mei living in utter poverty thanks to the botched governmental decision-making that led to the Great Famine. When she’s whisked away to a finishing school in Beijing, her awkwardness at first sets her against the other girls. But it endears her to Mao, who dances with her and then later effectively rapes her.
Mei knows that the secret to taking care of her family in the village and protecting herself lies in endearing herself to Mao, and so she continues to curry his favor, becoming more wrapped up in his toxic, paranoid, and cloistered world. But eventually she realizes she needs to escape.
Hua is unsparing in her depictions of life under the Mao regime. The end result is a brutal but engrossing novel about a young woman’s fight for her own autonomy in a claustrophobic, patriarchal world. —Tomi Obaro

Piers Morgan v. Meghan Markle
I’m not really a morning person, so whenever I wake, I repeat a short list of things — and people — who upset me so much that they make my blood pressure rise to near-lethal levels. Nothing, truly nothing, makes me shoot out of bed quite like turning my own blood into a thick sludge through the power of ire.

I am, sincerely, loath to even write Morgan’s name, because he survives by attention alone. But his constant criticism of Markle, whose greatest crime seems to simply be that Morgan finds her annoying, is too pathetic to ignore. “Anyone who criticizes Meghan Markle is automatically deemed a racist bully,” he tweeted in March 2021, “but when she bullies her female staff or spray-guns her husband’s family on global TV, it’s a cry for help from a poor victim.” I wonder how much it costs to live in Piers Morgan’s head, but it appears Markle gets that real estate for free.
The Jubilee was the first time Markle and Prince Harry participated in a royal event since defecting from the corporation — or, ah, family? — in 2020, but Morgan stomped his feet over Markle showing up at all. All this because she didn’t want to have a drink with you?
Having a parasocial relationship with a celebrity is creepy and foolish — except when I do it with three out of seven BTS members — but Morgan seems to be under some delusion that any human woman actually cares what he has to say. He acts like he is the main point of defense against Markle, someone he has previously called a liar, but who asked for it? Not the royals, who still seem willing to be associated with her (even if they’re not all that interested in defending her publicly), and not her husband, who I am sure would gladly tell Morgan to suck a butt if given the chance. Morgan’s rhetoric about Markle is so intense, it seems better suited for, say, a serial killer and not a woman whose greatest crime is season five of Suits.
Morgan is seemingly addicted to talking about Markle, but perhaps only because it’s his opportunity to cling onto cultural relevancy. Because, let’s be honest, what else does he have? Not his show, really, which he was sent on a six-week break from because of — allegedly — dwindling ratings. No wonder he’s so pissy.
Winner in spirit: Markle.
Winner in actuality: Morgan. He’s like Beetlejuice. I’ve already said his name too many times for comfort. —Scaachi Koul

SINGAPORE (AP) — U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stressed American support for Taiwan on Saturday, suggesting at Asia’s premier defense forum that recent Chinese military activity around the self-governing island threatens to change the status quo.
Speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, Austin noted a “steady increase in provocative and destabilizing military activity near Taiwan,” including almost daily military flights near the island by the People’s Republic of China.
“Our policy hasn’t changed, but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be true for the PRC,” he said.
Austin said Washington remains committed to the “one-China policy,” which recognizes Beijing but allows informal relations and defense ties with Taipei.
Taiwan and China split during a civil war in 1949, but China claims the island as its own territory and has not ruled out using military force to take it.
China has stepped up its military provocations against democratic Taiwan in recent years, aimed at intimidating it into accepting Beijing’s demands to unify with the communist mainland.
“We remain focused on maintaining peace, stability and the status quo across the Taiwan Strait,” Austin said in his address. “But the PRC’s moves threaten to undermine security, and stability, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific.”
He drew a parallel with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, saying that the “indefensible assault on a peaceful neighbor has galvanized the world and … has reminded us all of the dangers of undercutting an international order rooted in rules and respect.”
Austin said that the “rules-based international order matters just as much in the Indo-Pacific as it does in Europe.”
“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is what happens when oppressors trample the rules that protect us all,” he said. “It’s what happens when big powers decide that their imperial appetites matter more than the rights of their peaceful neighbors. And it’s a preview of a possible world of chaos and turmoil that none of us would want to live in.”
Austin met Friday with Chinese Defense Minister Gen. Wei Fenghe on the sidelines of the conference for discussions where Taiwan featured prominently, according to a senior American defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity to provide details of the private meeting.
Austin made clear at the meeting that while the U.S. does not support Taiwanese independence, it also has major concerns about China’s recent behavior and suggested that Beijing might be attempting to change the status quo.
Wei, meanwhile, complained to Austin about new American arms sales to Taiwan announced this week, saying it “seriously undermined China’s sovereignty and security interests,” according to a Chinese state-run CCTV report after the meeting.
China “firmly opposes and strongly condemns it,” and the Chinese government and military will “resolutely smash any Taiwan independence plot and resolutely safeguard the reunification of the motherland,” Wei reportedly told Austin.
Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Col. Wu Qian quoted Wei as saying China would respond to any move toward formal Taiwan independence by “smashing it even at any price, including war.”
In his speech, Austin said the U.S. stands “firmly behind the principle that cross-strait differences must be resolved by peaceful means,” but also would continue to fulfill its commitments to Taiwan.
“That includes assisting Taiwan in maintaining a sufficient self-defense capability,” he said.
“And it means maintaining our own capacity to resist any use of force or other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the security or the social or economic system of the people of Taiwan.”
The 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, which has governed U.S. relations with the island, does not require the U.S. to step in militarily if China invades, but makes it American policy to ensure Taiwan has the resources to defend itself and to prevent any unilateral change of status by Beijing.
Austin stressed the “power of partnerships” and said the U.S.’s “unparalleled network of alliances” in the region has only deepened, noting recent efforts undertaken with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN; the growing importance of the “Quad” group of the U.S., India, Japan and Australia; and the trilateral security partnership with Australia and the United Kingdom, known as AUKUS.
He dismissed Chinese allegations that the U.S. intends to start an “Asian NATO” with its Indo-Pacific outreach.
“Let me be clear, we do not seek confrontation or conflict and we do not seek a new Cold War, an Asian NATO, or a region split into hostile blocs,” he said.
Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles told the forum that AUKUS, under which Australia will acquire nuclear-powered submarines from the U.S. with the help of Britain, was a technology-sharing relationship, and “not in the set of arrangements as you would describe NATO.”
Australian abruptly pulled out of a deal with France for submarines to sign on to the AUKUS deal, and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced Saturday that he had agreed to pay Paris 555 million euros ($584 million) in compensation.
France’s new defense minister, Sebastien Lecornu, suggested his country was willing to put the matter behind it, saying the alliance with Australia was a long one, recalling the sacrifice of the “young Australians who came to die on French soil during World War I.”
“There are ups and downs in all relations between countries, but when there were real dramas, Australia was there,” he said.

Trial for Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes set to begin on October 10
At a downtown hearing with Weinstein present, LA Superior Court Judge Lisa Lench marked the date for the start of the jury trial
The trial date for court proceedings for charges of rape and other multiple sex crimes against Miramax co-founder Harvey Weinstein has been set as October 10, 2022.
At a downtown hearing with Weinstein present, LA Superior Court Judge Lisa Lench marked the date for the start of the jury trial, reports 'Deadline'.
Once jurors are selected, the proceedings are anticipated to take about two months. A spokesperson for Weinstein told 'Deadline', "We have four months to prepare and we are ready to face this and win it.
Looking at 140 years behind bars if found guilty, Weinstein is facing grand jury indictments of four counts of rape, four counts of forcible oral copulation, one count of sexual penetration by use of force, plus one count of sexual battery by restraint and sexual battery in incidents involving five women in L.A. County over a nine-year period.
Last year, one of Weinstein's West Coast attorney Mark Werksman proclaimed that the material was submitted to the grand jury by LA County D.A. George Gascon's office in the summer of 2021 was "weak and insufficient. Despite numerous motions by the defense, the judge has rejected all attempts to have the matter dismissed or diminished.
'Deadline' further states that Weinstein, who is currently held in DTLA's Twin Towers Correctional Facility, recently had his appeal of his New York State 2020 conviction on rape and sexual assault charges in Manhattan rejected unanimously by a five-judge panel.
Additionally, Weinstein was hit on June 8 by UK officials with two counts of indecent assault against a woman in London in August 1996. It is unclear right now, how and when the once looming mogul will actually face British justice as his convictions and trials pile up.
First charged and arrested for rape in May 2018 after detailed revelations by the New York Times in October 2017 into decades of abuse and alleged assaults by Weinstein, the producer was sentenced to 23 years in prison just over two years ago. After a prolonged legal battle over jurisdictions during the heart of the Covid-19 pandemic, Weinstein was flown out to LA on July 20 last year.

Improving Biometrics to Address Privacy, Scale and Accuracy
Faces are very important to us. Our brains can recognise a face in milliseconds, even if we retain no other information about that person.
Recording and recalling faces is so intuitive that there is even a condition called prosopagnosia, which occurs when someone struggles to remember faces.
Not surprisingly, scientists have discovered our brains have areas dedicated solely to managing information about faces.
Humans are very social creatures, and we rely on quickly identifying friends from foes in a group of faces.
Ever since we invented computers, we’ve aimed to endow them with the same abilities. Today, we have computers that understand human speech, translate languages, and recognise our faces.
Facial recognition biometrics are today more accurate than the human eye can ever be.
Facial recognition is already used extensively to identify individuals, help prevent crimes such as fraud and make it easier for people to authenticate and access services through their digital identity. We already unlock our phones with a glance nearly 400 times a day.
Imagine if we could pop into the doctor’s office or breeze through airports using our faces to unlock everything, safely and securely.
Until recently, there have been two key limitations around facial recognition. The first is scale. Finding a face amongst thousands, millions, or billions without any reference, like an ID, to narrow the search, is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It’s very intensive and time-consuming, sometimes more so than what makes the process worthwhile.
Then there are important privacy concerns. For such a system to work fast, it often relies on other personal data, such as your ID, e-mail, or mobile number. If someone were to access that data used alongside your photo, they could learn a lot about you.
Exciting new developments in this space are resolving these issues. Specifically, a technology called CryptoNets using fully homomorphic encryption is changing how fast and securely computers can identify a face. It’s a very technical breakthrough, so let’s keep it simple.
CryptoNets uses artificial intelligence and new types of encryption to deliver on two fronts. It is very fast, locating a face among countless others in milliseconds without the need to have any other data to narrow the search.
It is also highly efficient, requiring far fewer computing resources than other types of facial recognition when making one-to-many comparisons or the traditional one-to-one face comparisons.
The technology is also great for privacy. Information encrypted through CryptoNets becomes anonymized data and no longer contains personal information. It is useless without the system, which itself doesn’t need to decrypt the information to use it.
So, there is no point in stealing that personal information. Notably, CryptoNets technology converts material such as photos or voiceprints into a different data format that cannot be used outside the CryptoNets context.
The result is a new biometric technology that is much faster, far more secure, naturally compliant with personal information laws such as POPIA and GDPR, and applicable to different forms of recognition.
CrytoNets technology also supports voice, fingerprints and so on. And because of how it works, CryptoNets can quickly identify someone using only one element, such as a photo (no need to give your ID number every time you verify yourself), and does so in near real-time, so it works even in large crowds.
Now, many of us become nervous when we think of facial recognition. There is always scope for abuse and mistakes. But facial recognition is not going away – it’s just too helpful. So, we should instead ask how we can make it more responsible and respectful of our privacy.
CryptoNets technology achieves privacy and efficiency goals with incredible results. As it grows more popular, it will improve biometric recognition of all types while keeping our personal information safer. It aligns nicely with a wave of improvements in the sector that promotes better ethics and greater accuracy.
Facial recognition is controversial for many reasons. These are being resolved through breakthroughs such as CryptoNets. From fraud prevention to opening your front door with your voice, it will improve many aspects of our lives in fantastic ways without compromising our safety and privacy.
Digital identity orchestration Company, Contactable, will be the first organization in Africa to pioneer this technology as part of its extended product offerings in the market. | https://jimmyspost.com/improving-biometrics-to-address-privacy-scale-and-accuracy | 2022-06-11T14:33:34Z | https://jimmyspost.com/improving-biometrics-to-address-privacy-scale-and-accuracy | false | 1 |

Belmont Stakes 2022 Cheat Sheet: Post Position, Horses, Trainers, Jockeys, Owner, Earnings, Pedigree, and Running Style
The Belmont Stakes post positions are set for the third jewel of the Triple Crown on Saturday.
We The People has emerged as the morning line favorite at Belmont Park after drawing the rail with gate No. 1. One of the only horses in the Belmont Stakes with a lot of early speed, We The People will have a chance for a rare gate-to-wire victory if he can set the pace early.
The first post position has produced a winning horse 24 times in Belmont Stakes history. While the rail appears to give We The People an advantage, 11 of the last 15 betting favorites have failed to reach the winner’s circle in the Triple Crown race at Belmont Park.
Belmont Stakes longshot Skippylongstocking will follow in gate No. 2 while Nest, Rich Strike and Creative Minister should all be able to stay near the front of the pack after drawing posts 3, 4, and 5, respectively.
Trained by Todd Pletcher, Nest is the only filly in the Belmont Stakes but has a pedigree built for the extra distance at Belmont Park. Pletcher will be seeking his fourth win at the Belmont Stakes and his first since winning with another filly, Rags to Riches, in 2007.
Nest won’t be Pletcher’s only horse in the race. Also trained by Pletcher, early betting favorite Mo Donegal slid down the odds board after earning post 6 in Tuesday’s draw.
On the outside, Golden Glider and Barber Road will have a wider trip at Belmont Park. Golden Glider will race out of post 7 while Barber Road will try to use his late closing speed out of gate No. 8.
Below we’ll go over everything that you need to know about the Belmont Stakes horses, including their post position, jockey, trainer, owner, career earnings, past performances, pedigree, and running style.

The third and final Triple Crown race of the year, the Belmont Stakes will take place at Belmont Park on Saturday, June 11.
After skipping the Preakness, Kentucky Derby 2022 winner Rich Strike is among the horses in the field at Belmont Park but won’t be the favorite to win the 2022 Belmont Stakes.
Instead, Mo Donegal (+265), who had a strong race but did not finish in the top-3 at the Kentucky Derby, comes in with some of the best odds to win the Belmont Stakes in 2022. However, early money has poured in on We The People (+250), who is now the morning line favorite following the post position draw.
We the People will have the advantage of being on the rail at Belmont Park after drawing post 1 while Mo Donegal has a less favorable position on the outside with post 6.
Despite being the favorite, the horse won’t have history on his side, as the chalk has not been friendly to bettors at Belmont Park. In fact, only four post-time favorites have won the Belmont Stakes since 1996 (Point Given, Afleet Alex, American Pharoah and Justify) and 7 of the last 14 (50%) Belmont Stakes winners have started with odds of 11-1 or higher.
After a shocking 80-1 win at the Kentucky Derby, Rich Strike will be trying to prove that he can win away from Churchill Downs. The colt has two first-place finishes at Churchill Downs but is 0-for-6 away from his favorite race track.
The second-biggest longshot to ever win the Kentucky Derby, Rich Strike (+550) will square off against a talented field with some talented new shooters in the Belmont Stakes.
Barber Road (+1200) and Nest (+750) are also among the horses with the best Belmont Stakes odds.
Meanwhile, Creative Minister (+650) will be looking to build on his third-place finish at the 2022 Preakness Stakes. Creative Minister has placed in the top three in all four of his career starts and owns a top Equibase Speed Figure of 108, the highest of any horse in the field.
Only three of the last 35 winners in the Belmont Stakes have led at every call. While wire-to-wire winners aren’t common, Belmont Park is also known to be tough on late closers. Since the course layout changed at Belmont Park in 1926, only five of the 89 winners were more than two lengths behind at the top of the short, 366-yard stretch.
Below, we’ll go over the Belmont Stakes 2022 odds for all of the entries in the $1.5 million, Grade 1 Stakes race at Belmont Park on Saturday night.

Belmont Stakes 2022 Betting Trends | Horse Racing Betting Trends
Before you make your Belmont Stakes picks, there are a few horse racing trends that have earned bettors a substantial profit at Belmont Park.
In particular, the Belmont Stakes has not been very friendly to favorites. In fact, the betting favorite has trotted into the winner’s circle just four times in the last 15 years at Belmont Park.
The 1 ½ mile race has also proven to be a difficult challenge for horses that rely on their closing speed. Only three horses rallied from the back half of the pack to win the Belmont Stakes since 2010.
Kentucky Derby 2022 winner Rich Strike could also have history on his side after skipping the 2022 Preakness. Nine of the last 20 Belmont Stakes winners went directly from Churchill Downs to Belmont Park with no race in between. After racing in the Kentucky Derby, Mo Donegal, Barber Road, and Skippy Longstocking join Rich Strike as the horses that fit the bill for this Belmont betting trend.
Let’s go over some of the best Belmont Stakes betting trends in 2022.
- Since 2010, only three horses (Essential Quality, Sir Winston, and Creator) have rallied from the back half of the pack to win the Belmont Stakes.
- 13 of the last 15 (86.7%) Belmont winners were racing within 4 1/2 lengths of the leader after the opening half-mile.
- 12 of the last 20 (60%) Belmont Stakes winners have run in the Kentucky Derby and 9 of those 12 winners went directly from Churchill Downs to Belmont Park with no race in between.
- 11 of the last 15 (73%) Belmont Stakes favorites have failed to visit the winner’s circle at Belmont Park.
- 7 of the last 14 (50%) Belmont Stakes winners have started with odds of 11-1 or higher.
- Over the last 20 years, only three Preakness Stakes horses (Afleet Alex, American Pharoah, and Justify) have come back to win the Belmont Stakes. All three horses won the Preakness while American Pharoah and Justify swept the Triple Crown.
- Unproven horses have also performed well at the Belmont Stakes. Six of the last 15 winners (40%) had never won a graded stakes race.

Belmont Stakes 2022 Expert Picks and Predictions | 2022 Belmont Stakes Best Bets
The only filly in this year’s Belmont Stakes is Todd Pletcher’s entry, the #3 horse, Nest. The 8-1 opening line long-shot was the running up at the Kentucky Oaks last month and has had a solid showing in 2022 with two first-place finishes in three runs, earning a solid $650k so far for her owners this season.
In the #3 spot, Nest is set for a showdown with the #4 horse, the 2022 Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike. The two horses will likely face a runoff out of the gate, and if there are any similarities to Rich Strike’s late run at the Derby and this year’s run at the Belmont Stakes, the two horses could be set for a head to head chase down for the finish line.
At the current fixed odds of 8-1 via BetOnline, Nest is a great bet to become just the fourth fillie to win in the history of the Belmont Stakes. | https://thesportsdaily.com/news/how-to-bet-on-belmont-stakes-2022-texas-sports-betting-sites-updated-11-06-22/ | 2022-06-11T14:38:29Z | https://thesportsdaily.com/news/how-to-bet-on-belmont-stakes-2022-texas-sports-betting-sites-updated-11-06-22/ | false | 17 |

Master P has peened a new tribute to his daughter on Instagram. In the caption, P revealed grieving is over and he will now only celebrate his daughter’s life.
“I always been my daughter’s parachute, now she’s my parachute in the sky,” Master P wrote. “No more grieving, it’s time to celebrate her and help millions of people dealing with mental illness and substance abuse.”
Last weekend, Master P announced the passing of his daughter, Tytyana Miller. According to TMZ, while police continue to investigate, “initial evidence” is pointing toward a drug overdose.
TMZ cites law enforcement who noted drug paraphernalia was on the scene. There were no substances found near Tytyana. The autopsy report has been completed but it will be several weeks before autopsy results are recovered. | https://thesource.com/2022/06/11/icymi-master-p-vows-to-help-people-dealing-with-mental-illness-and-substance-abuse-while-celebrating-his-daughter-no-more-grieving/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=icymi-master-p-vows-to-help-people-dealing-with-mental-illness-and-substance-abuse-while-celebrating-his-daughter-no-more-grieving | 2022-06-11T14:44:12Z | https://thesource.com/2022/06/11/icymi-master-p-vows-to-help-people-dealing-with-mental-illness-and-substance-abuse-while-celebrating-his-daughter-no-more-grieving/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=icymi-master-p-vows-to-help-people-dealing-with-mental-illness-and-substance-abuse-while-celebrating-his-daughter-no-more-grieving | true | null |

Slain Uvalde girl remembered as caring and opinionated
UVALDE, Texas -- Alexandria Aniyah Rubio was opinionated like her mother, and she played basketball and softball like her father. When she got older, she wanted to go to college on a softball scholarship and to become an attorney.
Lexi, as she was known to family and friends, was among the 19 children and two teachers who were shot to death during the May 24 attack at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde. Her family asked mourners to wear bright colors to Lexi's funeral on Saturday at the First Baptist Church in Uvalde because Lexi loved them.
Lexi wanted to major in math one day at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, where her mother is a student, the family said in an obituary posted on a funeral home's website. They described her as 'sarcastic, but caring, giving.'
'When she knew she was right - she so often was - she stood her ground," her mother, Kimberly Mata-Rubio, said Wednesday during a congressional hearing on gun safety. "She was firm, direct, voice unwavering.'
She also described her daughter as 'intelligent, compassionate and athletic.'
Mata-Rubio is a reporter at the local newspaper and Lexi's father is a Uvalde County sheriff's deputy. During the hearing in Washington, they urged Congress to pass tougher gun laws, including one that would raise the age to buy guns like the one used in the attack to 21.
'We stand for Lexi, and as her voice, we demand action,' her mother said.
Lexi admired Democratic U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, of New York, her obituary said. Her parents told The New York Times that they turned down an invitation to meet with Texas' Republican governor, Greg Abbott.
'My first thought was, 'My Lexi doesn't even like him,'' Mata-Rubio told The Times. 'She was really little, but we talked about this stuff at home.'

The Most Pretentious Zodiac Sign, According to Astrologers
Some signs are just a little bit more self-important than others.
A pretentious person might always mention the Ivy League college they attended or only shop at fancy stores. These folks are just a little bit snobby, whether they're picking out a restaurant for a date or deciding who to be seen with, they can come across like they think they are better than others. If you're wondering why some people are more concerned about highfalutin things, astrology might give you some answers. Read on to find the most pretentious zodiac signs, from slightly pompous to overly ostentatious.

6
Aquarius
Aquarians put on airs without even knowing it, especially when they decide to withhold information. Hollywood-based astrologer Ryan Marquardt explains this is because "Aquarius is a fixed air sign, which means it can be really stubborn with its opinions and the information it chooses to take in or give out." These geniuses can act like they're better than other people—and sometimes think they are.
Marquardt cautions that if this brilliant sign "doesn't learn to share its future-forward insights with others, they become a gatekeeper for information, only allowing a select few to understand what's going on in any given situation." Many times, this perceived gatekeeping comes from a deep-seated fear of being wrong. Aquarians aren't always pompous, it's often just a toxic mix of intelligence and insecurity.
5
Sagittarius
Sagittarians are known for being close-minded at times, which can lead to them judging others, especially if they don't understand their life experiences. This sense of complete conviction can lead to them being perceived as self-important. "They radiate wisdom, but they can also weaponize that when they aren't careful," Marquardt explains. "Sagittarius is rooted in a thirst for life experience, but if your life experience doesn't match up with theirs, they can discount you quickly."
Marquardt warns that if Sagittarius doesn't learn to see other people's perspectives, they can "become too dogmatic, and other signs start feeling repelled by that type of pretentious vibe." It's not that Sagittarians are arrogant, it's that sometimes they can't see the other side of a situation.

Aries
Aries are often successful and they want everyone around them to know it. But it's not just that they're talented, they're also lucky. Marquardt tells us that because Aries is the first sign of the zodiac "they often have a strong sense of entitlement, even if they aren't working very hard to get what they want out of life." Marquardt also explains they don't "want to admit that they take short cuts or find loopholes, and they don't want to admit that other signs work harder." Because they're unwilling to admit they owe some of their success to blind luck, they can appear as entitled.
3
Libra
This air sign can sometimes seem slightly affected when they interact with others. "Libra is ruled by Venus, so you may sometimes see Libra exaggerating their sense of glamour," says Marquardt. This can be done by buying expensive jewelry or clothing and talking about their purchases constantly or by putting on airs. Expect Libras to be charming and attractive but a bit superficial.

Leo
Leo's famously think they're the kings and queens of the jungle. Though unlike Libras, they don't show off with material items. Instead, they believe they're the boss and they're not afraid to let you know it! "Leo thrives by outshining everyone else, and they don't have to do much to make that happen," says Marquardt.
Much like Aries, Leos are lucky, and can succeed without even trying. "Deep down, Leo knows they have a special gift to share with the world," Marquardt adds. "But if they wield their creative abilities too forcefully, their pretentious energy can easily outshine their natural sparkle."
1
Capricorn
Capricorns are focused on being mega-successful at life and at work. Once they achieve their goals, they show off with expensive items. "Capricorn is easily the most pretentious sign, because they chase status symbols in every way possible, whether by amassing a lot of money, or purchasing an expensive bag or car, or working their way into a position of power in their career," says Marquardt. Caps might seem uppity, but they do work harder than many other signs, and might deserve to flaunt their wealth.

The “Looking Glass” ponders economic and real estate trends through two distinct lenses: the pessimist’s “glass half-empty” and the optimist’s “glass half-full.”
Buzz: House hunters who think California’s housing market is a tad crazy should note that it’s been the nation’s wildest market — and its second-most profitable — for nearly a half-century.
Source: My trusty spreadsheet reviewed 47 years’ worth of the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s “all-transactions” price reports for the states and the District of Columbia. This curious price index analyzes sales results plus valuations gleaned from appraisals on refinanced mortgages bought by government-support agencies.
To measure market volatility, each state’s 185 four-quarter timeframes since 1975 were studied to find two valuation extremes — periods of 10% gains or more and spans when prices declined by any amount. The frequency of these extreme swings was tracked by state.
Glass half-empty
California has had 69 four-quarter periods with double-digit price gains (the most in the nation) since 1975. Plus, there have been 46 periods of depreciation (No. 4 among the states).
That adds up to a volatility index showing a 62% chance of either pricing extreme over the past 47 years. That’s a higher level of valuation swings than any other state and nearly double the national norm of 32%.
The next wildest state was Rhode Island at 58%, Connecticut and Massachusetts at 55%, and New Hampshire at 52%.
The least volatile market, by this math, was Kentucky at 15%; then North Carolina and Nebraska at 16%; and Georgia and South Carolina at 17%.
Oh, and California’s economic rivals? Texas was No. 37 at 24% and Florida was 22nd at 35%.
Glass half-full
History says the antacids should be part of any California homebuyer’s move-in kit, especially in an era when various online home-tracking services can give regular updates on a home’s valuation changes.
But those gyrations have brought more gains.
Since 1975, this California price index rose at a 6.7% annualized rate based — second-best in the nation. U.S. gains ran 4.6% over 47 years.
First in the nation was DC at 6.9%, and after California came Washington at 6.5%, Massachusetts and Oregon at 6%.
The smallest gains were found in Mississippi at 3.3%, then West Virginia, Arkansas, and Alabama at 3.8% and Ohio at 3.9%.
Rival Texas was No. 26 at 4.6% and Florida was No. 16 at 5.1%.
What’s ahead
Over the past half-century, California’s overall economy has morphed from a fast-growth jobs engine into the nation’s largest — and slower-growing — business machine.
Those business swings haven’t always been smooth, adding to housing volatility. And the inability of the state’s housing stock to keep up with California’s erratic but expansionary economic pace can also amplify price fluctuations.
Economic theory says investors expect to be compensated for volatility — so premium California home profits could be adding yet another challenge to the statewide housing affordability crunch.
The weight of the profit-generating gyrations, however, may be taking a toll.
Yes, California home prices gained 21% in the four quarters ended in March. But that bounty was only the 16th-largest among the states.

Stars sign Denis Gurianov to one-year, $2.9M extension
The Dallas Stars reached a one-year extension with Denis Gurianov, giving him quite the birthday present as he turns 25. The deal will carry a salary of $2.9M, which would have been Gurianov’s qualifying offer this summer.
A one-year deal avoids any arbitration dealings with the young forward, something he likely wasn’t looking forward to anyway after a bit of a disappointing year. After reaching the 20-goal mark in 2019-20 and still posting 12 in 55 games last season, Gurianov finished this year with just 11 tallies in 73 games. The big winger managed just 144 shots on the year, a huge step backward in terms of per-game rate. His ice time was also decreased to just over 14 minutes a night, and he saw more defensive deployment as the coaching staff gave the top line as many offensive zone starts as possible.
Still, a $2.9M contract is nothing to sneeze at, and it will set Gurianov up with plenty of options next summer. Scheduled for unrestricted free agency in the summer of 2024, he could go through arbitration a year from now and get to the open market as quickly as possible. Like Jack Roslovic, another 25-year-old who signed Tuesday, hitting the market at 27 could mean a substantial payday if Gurianov can put up strong numbers over the next two years.
A one-year deal also gives the Stars more time to see if Gurianov is really a fit long term and if the team is in the right competitive window to make that kind of commitment. There is basically no risk involved here, even if it could result in a few more dollars down the road if he proves worthy of it.
As the playoffs draw closer to an end, teams around the league are obviously starting to get down to business with their pending free agents. Roslovic and Gurianov have now provided some templates for teams dealing with arbitration-eligible restricgted free agents and perhaps indicated that there won’t be as many long-term or multi-year deals as expected.
The Stars of course have two extremely important RFAs who are not arbitration-eligible in Jason Robertson and Jake Oettinger, who may be looking at much bigger numbers. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2629385458819/stars-sign-denis-gurianov-to-one-year-2-9m-extension | 2022-06-11T15:23:18Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2629385458819/stars-sign-denis-gurianov-to-one-year-2-9m-extension | false | 1 |
Britney Spears is opening up about the roller coaster of emotions she went through prior to saying "I Do" to Sam Asghari. It turns out the singer had a "panic attack," but she "got it together" in time to enjoy what turned out to be a "dream ceremony."
The singer took to Instagram on Friday to give fans a little insight into what was going through her mind on the biggest day of her life. There's no doubt a lot went into pulling off the magical night at her Thousand Oaks, California home. Not to mention having to deal with an unwanted guest. But in the end, Spears came away a happy bride, and the excitement she shared in her caption was palpable.
"Wow !!! Holy holy crap !!! WE DID IT !!! WE GOT MARRIED 👰🏼♀️ !!! Gggggeeeeezzzzz !!! It was the most spectacular day !!! I was so nervous all morning but then at 2:00 pm it really hit me … WE’RE GETTING MARRIED 💍 !!!," she started her caption. "I had a panic attack and then got it together 🙄🙄 🙄 … the crew who created our home into literally a dream castle were fantastic !!! The ceremony was a dream and the party was even better 🎉 !!! So many incredible people came to our wedding and I’m still in shock 😱 !!!"
Spears then listed off some of the guests that attended the star-studded affair, including Drew Barrymore, Selena Gomez, Paris Hilton and, of course, Madonna. The singer, whose post included a series of photos from the big night, also thanked Donatella Versace for designing her dress. She signed off the post with, "@SamAsghari I LOVE YOU !!!"
The night turned out to be the magical moment Spears had long wanted, never mind a particular someone trying to crash the wedding, only to end up behind bars. As if the night couldn't get any bigger, so much more went down at the shindig, from Spears singing "Vogue" with Madonna to the duo recreating the famous MTV kiss nearly two decades later.
Spears' wedding officiant, Rev. Clint Hufft, told ET that Spears walked down the aisle solo.
"She arrived in a horse-drawn carriage and came in," Hufft told ET. "... She walked in by herself [to Elvis Presley's song] 'Can't Help Falling in Love.'"
After Spears made her way down the aisle in a custom Atelier Versace gown, the ceremony got underway.
"They got settled in front of me. I always take a moment to kind of let them catch their breath and focus in on each other, and then the ceremony lasts about 10 minutes," Hufft explained.
During the ceremony, the couple, Hufft said, opted "to go relatively traditional" for their vows.
"It was repeat after me, and they were just completely locked in on each other. It was amazing," he said. "... Boy, I tell you, they were just so rock solid during the entire ceremony with each other. It was very impressive."

Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan has been in breathtaking form in the current Ranji campaign. He has been in menacing touch, taking up above 700 runs in just four matches. The runs have come off one half-century, two centuries and one double hundred where the youngster has toyed with the opposition bowling line-up.
Touted as one of the brightest talents emerging out of India, Sarfaraz was not able to keep up with the competition as Rishabh Pant, and Ishan Kishan made it to the Indian team. However, the batter has kept at it and made a tremendous comeback in the Indian domestic circuit, raking up a lot of runs.
Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, Khan revealed how he transformed himself into a run machine.
"I'm an attacking player but when an attacking player develops some patience, he can become really dangerous. There was still some problem in my technique, but my father and I worked on that a lot. So I learnt to stay on the wicket and knowing exactly where my off stump is in red-ball cricket,” Sarfaraz said.
"I would play 600-700 balls every day at Cross Maidan and at home combined, especially against the swinging ball. If T20s are coming up then I just hit out in the nets, like playing the cut and pull. For day's cricket [first-class games], I would focus on leaving the ball because once you see through the first hour or so, you can get going and nobody can stop an attacking batsman like me,” Khan revealed his mind-boggling commitment.
"It's [the pitch at home] the toughest wicket I practice on. After playing in such places when I go for matches, I don't find it so difficult because this practice I go through is really tough - it has bounce, speed, swing, cut, dampness, everything," Khan spoke about his preparation.
Mumbai smashed their way into the semi-finals of the Ranji Trophy, defeating Uttarakhand in the quarter-finals of the game. The team will be up against Uttar Pradesh in the semi-final of the tournament scheduled to start on 14 June, Tuesday. | https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cricket/story/nobody-can-stop-an-attacking-batter-like-me-sarfaraz-khan-reveals-secrets-behind-incredible-form-in-ranji-1961255-2022-06-11 | 2022-06-11T15:33:01Z | https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cricket/story/nobody-can-stop-an-attacking-batter-like-me-sarfaraz-khan-reveals-secrets-behind-incredible-form-in-ranji-1961255-2022-06-11 | true | 1 |

Today, UN-Habitat in the presence of Mihara Kiyoshi, representative of Ambassador of Japan to Lebanon; H.E. Przemysław Niesiołowski, Polish Ambassador to Lebanon; Mardig Boghossian, Mayor of Bourj Hammoud; and, Joanna Wronecka, United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon, inaugurated five newly rehabilitated alleyways in Maraach, Bourj Hammoud.
Through support provided by Polish Aid, and under the scope of a wider urban recovery project funded through the Government of Japan, the project was able to regenerate the alleyways by responding to pre-existing explosion needs and additional ones identified after the Beirut Port explosion.
The closing event included a tour inside the alleyways of Maraach, where officials met with beneficiaries of the project and heard their first-hand perspective on how the project has helped improve their lives and that of the wider community.
“Having experienced the horrific repercussions of the first two nuclear explosions in human history, the priority that Japan has allocated to respond swiftly to assist Lebanon following the devastating explosion of the Port of Beirut, came not only due to the historical diplomatic relations that bind the two countries, but also out of deep sympathy with the Lebanese people.Japan will continue to stand by Lebanon during its recovery journey considering that the stability of Lebanon is essential for the stability of the entire region, ” said Mihara Kiyoshi, representative of the Ambassador of Japan to Lebanon.
“Poland has received a great support from our friends from all around the world when it was most needed. Now, to the best of our capabilities, we are offering our solidarity and assistance to those who are in challenging situation. We were doing so for Lebanon for the past years. I am happy that despite all the challenges, together with UN-Habitat, Embassy of Japan, Bourj Hammoud Municipality and the Polish Center for International Aid we were able to bring a positive change and assistance to those who are in need, ” said H.E. Przemysław Niesiołowski, Ambassador of Poland to Lebanon.
‘‘This multi-sectoral project proved to be a great testament to the significance of improving social cohesion during the most challenging times. We are very grateful for this timely and most needed contribution from the Government of Japan, Polish Aid and UN-Habitat,’’ said Mardig Boghossian, Mayor of Bourj Hammoud.
“Today’s visit to Bourj Hammoud and meeting with some of its residents shed light on two realities: We can make a difference and bring hope to the people despite the painful impact of the socio-economic crisis compounded by the Beirut Port blast,” said UN Special Coordinator Joanna Wronecka. “The rehabilitation work in this neighborhood undertaken so skillfully by our UN Habitat colleagues with the support of Japan and Poland is a reflection of the UN and international community’s determination to continue supporting Lebanon and its people.” But, the Special Coordinator added, “long-term recovery will only be possible when meaningful reforms are implemented and people’s interests are prioritized.”
The project rehabilitated 90 building facades and 5 alleyways by improving street mobility and safety and access to urban basic services. It included the installation of solar panels, which is providing green, reliable and cost-effective lighting to the community, its public spaces and streets, enhancing safety, with the surplus going back to the national grid. The community was involved in every step of the project from design to implementation using their skills to support the rehabilitation work, through cash-for-work while a consultative local committee oversaw the project's interventions.
UN-Habitat and the Polish Centre for International Aid (PCPM) trained and distributed firefighting equipment to 54 community members and delivered a customized rapid fire intervention vehicle with a high-pressure pump for use in dense urban areas to the Lebanese Civil Defence Centre in Bourj Hammoud. The Centre was also rehabilitated by its members through cash-for-work.
‘‘We are proud of how this project has helped the people living in Maraach weather some of the most difficult times Lebanon has faced. As we continue to apply an area-based approach to support Lebanese cities recover from ongoing crises, we re-affirm our commitment to improving the lives of people across the nation as we move forward for a better urban future,’’ said Taina Christiansen, Head of UN-Habitat Lebanon Country Programme.
The project, entitled “Improving the well-being of host and refugee populations in Maraach sub-neighbourhood in Bourj Hammoud” and funded by the Polish Aid, launched in 2019, yet following the Beirut Port explosion, more support was needed, thus the Government of Japan, supported in the rehabilitation of 3 alleyways.
This intervention is also part of UN-Habitat’s wider project entitled “Support for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of most vulnerable urban areas in Beirut impacted by the Port explosion” funded by the Government of Japan. It has multiple interventions, including the rehabilitation of 11 heritage buildings of heritage value and key public facilities in Rmeil Cluster; COVID-19 awareness-raising and installation of handwashing stations; improved livelihood through cash-for-work activities; support under municipal services – provided to the Beirut Fire Brigade Centre in Karantina; and, upgrading of Laziza and William Hawi Parks. | https://reliefweb.int/report/lebanon/un-habitat-revives-five-alleyways-maraach-through-multi-sectoral-urban-regeneration-approach-enar | 2022-06-11T15:37:42Z | https://reliefweb.int/report/lebanon/un-habitat-revives-five-alleyways-maraach-through-multi-sectoral-urban-regeneration-approach-enar | false | 1 |

Splaine: Portsmouth Pride is about all of us. Here's how we got here in New Hampshire.
The people of Portsmouth can take extraordinary pride in being an early community to embrace our LGBTQ+ friends. Throughout our recent history from at least the 1940s and onward, there has been an acceptance that many cities and towns nationwide haven't had, even today.
I remember a conversation with our City Marshal Stan Remick in the early 1970s. As the city's police chief, he had a number of gay friends, and he along with a well-liked closeted local judge worked to encourage our law enforcement community to be both accepting and friendly.
In the 1980s and early 1990s as AIDS paranoia gripped the nation and the world, Portsmouth welcomed an organization dedicated to fighting the disease. AIDS Response Seacoast became part of the City Hall complex to mainstream the cause of education and support those needing help. I was president of the organization at the time, and proud of the backing of city leaders.
Also in the 1990s, Portsmouth became the first community in the state to consider an ordinance prohibiting discrimination in city employment. While it failed in August 1993 by a 5-4 City Council vote, and later faced defeat as a voter's referendum in November, the effort helped ignite the cause statewide that eventually led to anti-discrimination efforts. Now Portsmouth government is fully supportive of equality and has strong anti-discrimination statutes.
That 1993 defeat led to what was a prelude to Portsmouth Pride marches as people from throughout the state, including New Hampshire legislative leaders Rick Trombly, Ray Buckley, and Kathi Rogers, joined local equality advocates to speak at Market Square, and then walked through downtown to encourage equality.
Our message was getting stronger.
The work for LGBTQ+ equality continued as 300 hundred people, many from Portsmouth, gathered at the State House plaza in Concord on Dec. 31, 2009. At midnight bells rang mixed with cheers as our state became just the 5th to formally adopt marriage equality. Standing there in freezing cold among many warm hearts, I wondered why we had to fight so hard. Why in a nation of the words "with liberty and justice for all'' do we have to fight for basic equality and human rights?
Because, we have to.
On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court declared same-sex marriage is guaranteed by our Constitution. The next day in Portsmouth's Market Square, 3,000 people cheered that decision at our inaugural Pride Day. The Herald quoted me while on stage: "You never know what another court may do in the future about marriage equality, but if we keep on fighting like we have, we're always going to win."
And there will always be another fight to win.
Danger may be ahead for gay marriage and other rights for the LGBTQ+ community – and the basic rights of all citizens, including women's choice. One of the worst characteristics of human nature is a desire to control other people, either by war or by law. The job of all of us is to engage in the fight of those who have stood up and spoken out through the years.
Because those causes continue.
The LGBTQ+ community can feel safe and welcomed here. In that way, Portsmouth Pride is about all of us. "It takes a village" is more than just a feel-good motto, and as we continue to welcome others of diversity, including immigrants far and near to our wonderful town, let's be proud they want to make their home with us.
They are the Portsmouth of tomorrow.
Today's quotes: "The Portsmouth action (1993) was the event which brought together the LGBTQ+ community and its allies to fight discrimination, laying the foundation for future victories at the state and local level.” – Rick Trombly, longtime New Hampshire House leader and state senator, sponsor of anti-hate crimes legislation in the 1990s.
"As a teen growing up in rural New Hampshire, I thought I was the only gay person in the state. I never imagined having the right to marry, buy a home, have job protections, having kids - realizing America as a full equal citizen. Then at 19, I saw two guys near my age dancing together in a Portsmouth venue. It was exhilarating." – Raymond Buckley, former New Hampshire state representative, lifelong leading advocate in the fight against discrimination, and the cause of LGBTQ+ equality.
Next time: Juneteenth, The Portsmouth Factor.

Golf estate residents start evacuation as mountain fire threatens homes
Several residents of a golf estate in Somerset West evacuated their homes on Saturday as a fire that has been burning since Wednesday spread towards them.
City of Cape Town fire service spokesperson Jermaine Carelse said fire crews had been stationed to protect properties at Erinvale and elsewhere.
The fire started near Lourensford among pines on the slopes of the Helderberg. Carelse said 120 staff were involved in fighting it on Saturday.
“An incident management team has been established to manage the situation and currently firefighters from the city’s fire and rescue service, Working on Fire, CapeNature, Volunteer Wildland Services and Helderberg Nature Reserve are on the scene to help bring the blaze under control,” he said.

“The wind picked up considerably overnight, resulting in the fire in the inaccessible areas spreading to previously unaffected areas.
“One of these is the Helderberg Nature Reserve, but flames are still high up the mountain slopes.”
The Western Cape was experiencing a warm northerly berg wind on Saturday ahead of a cold front expected to unleash a deluge of rainfall starting on Sunday evening and continuing until Wednesday afternoon.
