Lucknow, June 12
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has tweeted a video of policemen thrashing some men with sticks in a “lock-up”, saying questions should be raised over such incidents.
However, it is not clear from the video whether the incident took place at a police station or some other place.
Sharing the video on his Twitter handle on Saturday, Yadav condemned the police action.
“Questions must be raised on such a detention, otherwise justice will lose its power (‘iqbal’). UP is No.1 in custodial deaths. UP tops in human rights violations and UP is ahead of all in Dalit atrocities,” he wrote tweeting the video.
Responding to Akhilesh’s remarks during a press conference at the BJP office here, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Sunday said, “Rioters are being beaten up but Akhilesh Yadav is feeling the pain.”

SANDAKAN (June 12): The Sandakan Airport that has been upgraded last year will serve as a catalyst to drive development in the district, especially in eco-tourism, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said.
He said the RM80.9 million project that was approved in 2017 and began construction in 2019 involved the lengthening of the existing runway from 2.133 kilometres (km) to 2.5 km.
“With the expansion of the runway, the Sandakan Airport can handle Code C aircraft without any cargo limit and flights of up to six hours. This will directly encourage more commercial airlines to fly directly to Sandakan.
“It will also boost the number of domestic and foreign tourists and increase competitiveness in the economy, commercial and tourism spheres,” he told reporters after officiating the upgrading of the runway and inspecting the airport here on Sunday, along with Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin.
Wee said efforts were currently focused on attracting tourists to Sandakan and tasking the Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM) to ensure all flights to Sabah would consider Sandakan Airport.
According to Wee, the project also involved the expansion of aircraft parking area, upgrading work for the aviation navigation equipment and replacement and improvements to the air traffic management system at the Kota Kinabalu Flight Information Region (KKFIR).
“The installation of radar and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) equipment in Sandakan have been upgraded, where the problem of airspace previously not covered by radar due to the Kinabalu range has been overcome.
“In fact the radar data is also shared with the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia with the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) that is responsible to ensure that the airspace in Sabah and Sarawak is safe from any intrusion or threat,” he said.
In other developments, Wee said he would discuss with his ministry about public complaints in the state seeking road tax exemptions for the year and a half period encompassing the Pan Borneo Highway construction.
“I will not simply promise as it is subject to the country’s finances as the Transport Ministry is given the authority to collect income through the Road Transport Department,” he explained.-Bernama | https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/06/12/airport-catalyst-for-sandakan-development/ | 2022-06-12T13:20:59Z | https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/06/12/airport-catalyst-for-sandakan-development/ | false | 3 |
Which camping chair with a canopy is best?
Camping is a great way to escape from everyday stress, but why not have the best of both worlds? Grab a camping chair with a canopy to bring you some indoor comfort while in the great outdoors.
There are many options on the market today with surprising luxurious features. If you are looking for a great combination of comfort and affordability in your camping chair, the GCI Outdoor Pod Rocker Collapsible Rocking Chair with Sunshade may be the right choice for you.
What to know before you buy a camping chair with a canopy
You don’t need to sit on logs or stones when out in the wild. Camping chairs are lightweight enough to carry with you, and they can offer some benefits that may not be immediately obvious. Consider where and how often you will be using your chair when choosing which one is right for you.
Comfort
A camping chair gives you a chance to relax your feet during your outdoor adventures. Camping chairs offer an alternative to uncomfortable seating on the ground or on bleachers at sporting events.
UV protection
UV protection is essential when spending time in the sun. A properly constructed canopy on your camping chair will provide the protection you need from the sun’s harmful rays. Good quality canopies will list out their UV protection rating, so check to be sure the quality is there to ensure the health of yourself and your loved ones.
Portable
Camping chairs are portable and easy to pack away, so you can use them anywhere that seating is needed. They are a great option for the beach, sporting events and extra seating around the house.
What to look for in a quality camping chair with a canopy
Comfort
The last thing you want while trying to relax after a long day of activity is an uncomfortable chair. Camping chairs are designed with a focus on portability, so be sure that you don’t sacrifice comfort when picking one out. Finding the right chair can make the difference between an enjoyable time with friends and family and a sore back.
Portability
Camping chairs can get pretty unwieldy, especially with the addition of a canopy. It will be quite beneficial if your chair can fold up into a manageable size and is not too heavy to carry with you on your outdoor adventures. If you don’t need to walk long distances with your chair, you can opt for a heavier, sturdier model.
Durability
On the other side of the portability issue, some chairs sacrifice sturdy, reliable materials to keep their weight down. It may be appealing to go with the lightest chair you can find, but it’s worthwhile to invest in a product that will last. Look for steel rather than aluminum chair legs if durability is more important to you than portability. This is especially worthy of consideration if you plan to regularly use your chair at home or at events that do not require long walks from parking areas.
Add-ons and extra features
Many camping chairs come with cup holders, pockets and more. In addition, some come with adjustable seating modes to increase your comfort. Keep an eye out for these additional features to maximize your seating experience.
How much you can expect to spend on a camping chair with a canopy
Generally, camping chairs with canopies range from around $25-$200. At the higher end, you can expect to find extra functionality, like reclining and rocking options.
Camping chair with a canopy FAQ
How much weight can a camping chair support?
A. Camping chairs can generally support at least 220 pounds. In the higher range, they can support up to 500 pounds.
How long can you expect to use your camping chair?
A. Depending on how often and in what environments you use your camping chair, you can expect it to last for years. Making sure that you choose the right chair for your needs can greatly extend its life.
How much assembly is required for a camping chair with a canopy?
A. Generally, minimal assembly is needed for a camping chair with a canopy. In some cases, the canopy is detachable.

Which full-size bed in a bag is best?
Investing in a “bed in a bag” makes switching bedding styles every season fun and easy. A full-size bed is the size that many teenagers, college students and first-time apartment dwellers have in their bedroom. When purchasing a full-size bed in a bag, make sure the fabric and design are high-quality.
There are many stylish options for a full-size bed in a bag, including Amazon Basics 6-Piece Ultra-Soft Microfiber Bed-In-A-Bag Comforter Bedding Set. It’s made of soft microfiber and comes in a variety of prints.
What to know before you buy a full-size bed in a bag
Style
Since the bedroom is typically where the day begins and ends, it’s critical to select an interior design for the bedroom that provides a sense of tranquility and comfort. A bed in a bag is a simple and cost-effective way to decorate a bedroom. There are various bed in a bag styles, such as seasonal, decor-specific and classic styles. This makes it easy to buy a bed in a bag with the pieces of bedding needed to fit any desired bedroom aesthetic.
Full-size beds
Also known as a double bed, full-size beds are 75 inches long and 54 inches wide. This size mattress is most suitable for a single sleeper. Those who sleep in a full-size bed have plenty of space to stretch out and turn during the night.
Bed in a bag pieces
In an average bedroom, four pieces of bedding are found: a fitted sheet covering the mattress, a flat sheet, a blanket and pillowcases. A bed in a bag includes more bedding than what’s typically found in a bedroom.
A bed in a bag may come with a mattress cover, a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, pillowcases, a comforter or quilt, pillow shams and a bed skirt. The more items in a set, the more expensive it is. No matter how many pieces are included in a set, the colors and designs are coordinated. With additional pieces of bedding, the price is higher, but the value is still higher than purchasing the individual pieces separately.
Material
When shopping for a bed in a bag, consider the materials used and how they’re constructed.
- Comforters should have stitching with designs instead of just straight lines. When the stitching is done in straight lines, the filling will create baffles and may appear lumpy after washing.
- It’s important to note the thread count of the sheets. Bed in a bag sheets often have a thread count of less than 200. Open the package and feel the threads if it isn’t specified. They should feel soft and not scratchy at all. The thread count of the bedding should be between 200 and 400 to ensure softness.
- Note if the pockets of the sheets are deep. Regular-size sheets won’t fit a pillow-top mattress because they’re too shallow. However, deep pocket sheets are able to accommodate mattresses up to 15 inches thick.
What to look for in a quality full-size bed in a bag
Comforter set vs. bed in a bag
The difference between comforter sets and bed in a bag sets is that comforter sets don’t contain sheets or other extras such as pillowcases or bed skirts — standard comforter sets only include a comforter and two decorative pillow shams. A bed in a bag is a better value because of the extra pieces.
Number of pieces
Determine whether the basics are enough for bedroom decoration, or if more is required. If only the basics are needed, choose a six- or eight-piece bed in a bag set. In the event that more bedding accessories are required, get a ten- to fourteen-piece set.
How much you can expect to spend on a full-size bed in a bag
In general, a full-size set that includes a limited number of pieces such as a comforter and pillow shams costs less than a set with more pieces. Depending on the number of pieces and the quality of bedding, a full-size bed in a bag should cost somewhere from $40-$75.
Full-size bed in a bag FAQ
Who should buy a bed in a bag?
A. Since the pieces don’t need to be purchased separately, a bed in a bag set is both practical and economical. It’s also helpful because everything is coordinated. It’s a wise choice for anyone just starting out on their own or replacing all the elements of an old bedding set.
What is a pillow sham?
A. Unlike a pillowcase, a pillow sham is a decorative cover that is not intended to be used for sleeping. When it isn’t in use, it’s placed on the bed with the remaining pillows. Shams can also be used to support one’s back when seated in bed.

Manchester United aren’t known for their transfer strategies.
Two summers ago saw the Red Devils announce multiple deadline day signings, including Edinson Cavani and Alex Telles with last summer’s window being just as chaotic.
After being tipped to join bitter-rivals Manchester City, United was thrust into action and forced to re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus.
Despite new manager Erik Ten Hag now being in place to lead the 20-time league winners into the 2022-23 season, things behind the scenes seem to be as frustrating as ever.
MORE: PSG and Mauricio Pochettino decide to part ways
According to a recent report from the Mirror, senior members of United’s staff feel ‘irked’ by the criticism they’re receiving for the club’s lack of transfer activity – even though the summer window only opened a week ago.
Although there is still plenty of time left in this year’s summer transfer window, it is easy to understand why the United faithful is eager for new signings to be announced.
The club has just lost four senior midfielders from their first team and with the midfield being the side’s weakest area, it goes without saying that the Red Devils must bring in at least one high-profile replacement.
Other positions also need addressing, including the striker role which, up to this point, has been left to 37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo.
It is certainly going to be interesting to see what business United can do before the new season starts, especially considering some of their biggest rivals have already started bringing in some fresh faces. | https://www.caughtoffside.com/2022/06/12/senior-man-united-officials-becoming-annoyed-at-transfer-window-criticism/ | 2022-06-12T13:48:01Z | https://www.caughtoffside.com/2022/06/12/senior-man-united-officials-becoming-annoyed-at-transfer-window-criticism/ | true | 1 |

There were times last season that the Houston Texans scarcely resembled a professional football team, lowlighted by an eight-game losing streak during which they were outscored 237-91 (that’s a whopping 11.4 points per game). Then-rookie quarterback Davis Mills took his lumps filling in for an injured Tyrod Taylor, now on the New York Giants, but those hard lessons may have paid off as Mills played fairly well over the final five weeks and will enter 2022 as the starter.
While it’s too early to call the passing game rejuvenated, it at least has the potential to generate some respectable fantasy football producers, particularly if Mills continues to show improvement. With that in mind, let’s look at the top of Houston’s wide receiver depth chart.
Brandin Cooks
Wherever he goes and from whomever he catches balls, Cooks delivers. To that end, the well-traveled wideout posted a 90-1,037-6 line serving as the primary target for Mills and Taylor. It was the sixth 1,000-yard effort in eight NFL seasons, and his second in a row since joining the Texans. There was some belief that Houston would trade Cooks as part of their rebuild, but the team handed him a lucrative, two-year extension instead with the expectation he’d be their No. 1 receiver.
Improvement from Mills and better talent around him should prevent defenses from focusing too much of their attention on Cooks, who at 29 should still be in his prime. He may not be the flashiest receiver, and it’s easy to forget he’s out there when he’s languishing in Houston, but it’s hard to find fault in Cooks’ long-term durability and consistency.
John Metchie III
Had he not torn his ACL during the SEC Championship Game in December, Metchie likely would’ve been drafted in the first round. Instead, he fell to the Texans with the 44th overall selection. While the injury is the big news, let’s start with the scouting report. At 5-foot-11, 187 pounds, Metchie isn’t a big target, nor is he someone who is going to take the top off coverage. The Alabama product is more a possession receiver with refined route-running skills, good hands, and some elusiveness after the catch.
The rookie will likely slide into the No. 2 role whenever he’s healthy, but just six months clear of his injury it’s too early to nail down when that’ll be. For his part, Metchie has stated he’ll be ready to practice in July when training camp opens, but the team hasn’t put a timetable on it. Given the status of the Texans as a non-contender it’d be surprising (and short-sighted) to rush Metchie back on the field. As such, his rehab could certainly linger into the regular season.
Nico Collins
A third-round pick in last year’s draft, Collins (33-446-1) finished second on the club in receptions, receiving yards, and yards per catch (13.5) as a rookie. Compared to Cooks and Metchie, Collins (6-foot-4, 215 pounds) is a giant, and he has enough speed to get deep down the field.
While his physical credentials are impressive, Collins still has work to do with consistently catching the ball. His youth and upside should give him a clear advantage over retreads like Chris Conley and Phillip Dorsett to serve as one of the top-three wideouts for Houston this year.
Fantasy football outlook
If you’re looking for a steady producer to plug into your lineup as a low-end WR2 or really strong WR3, Cooks is your man. He’s never had a true monster season, but he’s finished with between 1,025 and 1,225 yards in six of his last seven years.
Metchie will be a desirable get in dynasty formats, but those in single-year leagues should view him as a late-round curiosity with modest upside.
Collins is interesting based on how different his body type is, which could make him a popular red-zone target, but he probably tops out as watch-list fodder. | https://thehuddle.com/2022/06/11/fantasy-football-houston-texans-brandin-cooks-john-metchie-nico-collins/ | 2022-06-12T13:56:36Z | https://thehuddle.com/2022/06/11/fantasy-football-houston-texans-brandin-cooks-john-metchie-nico-collins/ | true | 1 |
Hi. My name is Aisha, and I'm a Disney Adult.
But I'm not like those other Disney Adults out there – I'm a cool Disney Adult.
I've certainly never thrown a wedding where I made my guests figure out their own way of getting fed during the reception, because my partner and I chose to spend the thousands of dollars our parents budgeted for catering on guest appearances by Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Could never be me.
(My partner did propose to me while we were in Disney World celebrating my 30th birthday. That's cool, though.)
I have absolutely zero interest in living in a residential community owned by Disney and staffed with Disney cast members – what fresh Twilight Zone hell might that turn out to be?
(Still, I do have Disney playlists in my regular rotation for working background music, and yes, I know every lyric to "Thomas O'Malley Cat" from The Aristocats. I'm still cool, though.)
I would never refer to my partner as my "Disney prince" – yech!
(But we do watch Disney movies old and new together, and have seen Aladdin, Frozen, and The Lion King on Broadway. In case you're wondering, we have no children, and emphatically don't want them. We're still cool, though.)
Fandom is a weird thing. It's a state of being where at least a bit of fantasy inherently comes into play regardless of the medium, and the internet, with its memes and Tumblr pages and interest groups, has only made this more obvious while giving us a myriad of new ways to demonstrate being a fan. It's also interesting to witness the ever-morphing hierarchies of fandom within the cultural zeitgeist, and what's considered cool to obsess over and what's not. Comic book nerds, for example, once a niche population and the butt of jokes, have more or less swallowed mainstream popular culture as a whole, thanks to the Marvelization of ... well, everything.
This past week emphasized how not all fandoms are treated equally, thanks to a viral "Am I the Asshole" Reddit post that may or may not be a true story. In case you're unfamiliar with "AITA," as it's called, it's the judgy gift that keeps on giving, a popular Reddit subhead where users post their personal conundrums and then ask the rest of the world to decide whether they were in the wrong or right. This particularly chaotic post about the couple who chose Mickey and Minnie over feeding their guests sparked the snarkiest wave of derision on the fandom known as "Disney Adults," understandably. Tweets like "We need to study the minds of Disney adults like we do serial killers" and "I've said it once, I'll say it now, and I'll say it 100 more times. Disney adults are the absolute worst people."
Way harsh, Tai.
Making matters worse was the well-intentioned religious studies professor who swooped in to defend my ilk with a thread that basically boiled down to "Don't pathologize these people; to them this is like religion, except instead of worshipping hypothetical gods, they worship a corporate entity!" Twitter went into overdrive, swarming upon and devouring this professor's infantilizing thread as if they were the hyenas descending upon Scar. The responses were golden.
I don't actually care if people make fun of Disney Adults. A lot of the jokes are actually pretty funny. It's a weird, quirky thing to re-watch Lady and the Tramp every so often once you surpass the age of, say, 12! I own that.
On the other hand, I find the intense vitriol – not the jokes, but the suggestions this is on par with religion or a cult – to be more than a bit confounding. From where I stand, Disney Adults don't appear to be the kind of fandom that cares much about what others think about us, or the things we like. I don't see them enacting massive doxing campaigns against anyone who dares say a bad word about Encanto, like fans of certain pop stars or superhero movies. Maybe it's because I'm a cool Disney Adult and don't run in those circles? I don't know.
Part of it seems to stem from an understandable disdain for Disney as a corporate monopoly, and all the negatives that have come from that. (For one: The company's position as financially beholden to political groups that are actively trying to strip basic human rights.) I agree with those critics; no one brand should have all this power.
The bigger component, though, is probably Disney's "wholesome" and child-friendly image, which has been meticulously ingrained in the public imagination since the brand's inception. Despite owning everything under the sun, from Star Wars to Marvel to the Muppets to Pixar, the Disney brand remains lodged in people's minds as nothing more than that iconographic image of Tinker Bell tapping Cinderella's castle with her wand. To say something has been "Disneyfied" is dismissive shorthand for watered-down, chaste, safe, conservative. The company does plenty of things to project this fluffy image (ahem, that very hyped "exclusively gay" moment that turned out to just be a couple seconds of two guys dancing together), so I get it. I can see how it seems like the equivalent of continuing to enjoy Blue's Clues even after you've reached 5th grade – to like a product ostensibly targeted at kids is to somehow exist in a state of arrested development and be disconnected from reality, so the thinking goes.
To which I say: All fiction requires the audience to disconnect from reality! That's the point! Also, have you seen Pinocchio recently? That entire Pleasure Island sequence is like a PG-rated precursor to Fritz the Cat!
Even the term "Disney Adult" suggests it's something of an oxymoron, an incongruous identity – we don't go around calling people Muppet Grown-Ups or Mature Star Wars fans, even as these fantastical franchises also appeal to people of all ages. Sigh.
What it all boils down to is this: The Disney products we associate with princesses and talking animal sidekicks and musicals will never be "cool," even as they've become the blueprint for cultural commodification in nearly every corner of western culture for nearly a century. And that's fine! On the social ladder of pop culture fandom, Disney Adults are the theater kids. (Yes, in case you were wondering, I was a theater kid, too. A cool one, though.) We're passionate – some a little too much so – and have a tendency to burst out into song at unexpected moments. We like to rank villains and princes, and drop way too much money for the chance to ride Space Mountain. We are an acquired taste. Just like every other cult–er, fandom.

Karua: Azimio will end graft
Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition presidential running mate Martha Karua has vowed to slay the dragon of corruption if the team forms the next government.
Ms Karua warned that no one will be spared in the fight against the vice.
The former Justice Minister in the Mwai Kibaki administration said the Azimio la Umoja government will also revamp the economy “so that young people can have hope of employment.”
However, she said, the economy cannot be revived unless the fight against corruption is won.
Ms Karua who was speaking at Kabiru-ini showground in Nyeri County, on Saturday during a tour of central Kenya appealed to residents to vote in the Azimio la Umoja government because it was the only hope of liberating Kenyans through protecting taxes that had previously been lost through corruption.
“Corruption is a major stumbling block to the country’s economic growth. By Raila choosing me as his running mate and Justice and Constitutional Affairs CS is a sign enough that he is ready to fight corruption. Let me assure you that Azimio is the safest pair of hands that can transform Kenya” she said.
She said the law will be applied fairly and no one will be unlawfully targeted in the fight against corruption
"It will not matter whether it is my brother or my friend, the law will be applied fairly to all. We are not people of vendetta. We don't hate anyone but those who abuse the privileges given to them by the Kenyan people, your days are numbered," she said
She at the same time outlined plans to bolster the country's agricultural, manufacturing, housing and industrial growth and expressed optimism her government will improve all the sectors.
"Azimio led government will be your liberator as a government once you vote us in. We will ensure that all taxes collected is used well. As minister for Justice, I will ensure that those who steal taxes are prosecuted in a free and fair manner, “said Karua.
She criticized pronouncements by Deputy President William Ruto that he would allocate billions to youths, women and other sectors as farfetched saying that without proper corruption eradication programmes his promises are just but wishful thinking.
Karua said that Azimio is the best outfit for the nation citing the economic turnaround that was witnessed after Kibaki took over in 2002 through prudent use of government funds.
"When we took over from Moi regime, we found the country broke and we were able to improve the country economic fortunes through taxes that were not being stolen. This is what Odinga administration will do once in power and this is what will fix the country," said Karua | https://nation.africa/kenya/counties/nyeri/karua-azimio-will-end-graft-3846042 | 2022-06-12T14:13:50Z | https://nation.africa/kenya/counties/nyeri/karua-azimio-will-end-graft-3846042 | true | 1 |

Many producers already will have received letters from the Farm Service Agency to apply for the available funds. If you have not, it may be necessary to contact your local FSA office.
In general, the program covers losses to crops, trees, bushes and vines and will be released in two phases. Phase 1, currently in motion, is designed to leverage existing Federal Crop Insurance programs or Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) coverage data as the initial resource for payment calculation. Phase 2 will be rolled out later to cover additional holes in coverage for producers who did not participate in Federal Crop Insurance or NAP.
The use of existing loss data from crop insurance indemnity or NAP will facilitate quick program enrollment and fund distribution since the data collection has already occurred. The main question for producers is “Do I qualify?” and “What is the catch?”
Most producers in Oklahoma will qualify for Phase 1 payments if they received a crop insurance indemnity on crop production in 2020 and/or 2021. Generally, our losses fall under the types of disasters covered in this program.
The amount of the payment will be determined based on the underlying crop insurance coverage you had at the time of the loss. At a crop insurance level of 70%, the ERP Payment factor is 90%. Simply, for example, if you carry 70% Revenue Insurance on your wheat and you received an indemnity in 2020 or 2021, that coverage becomes 90% Revenue Insurance. The payment is calculated using the producer’s current loss procedures for the coverage they purchased while substituting in the new 90% coverage level. Then the previously paid net indemnity is subtracted out of that loss calculation to give the ERP payment amount. Net indemnity is the gross crop insurance indemnity minus service fees and premiums. Therefore, producers will essentially be repaid for their service fees and premiums in this program.
There is a graduated scale for ERP payment factors and I encourage producers to visit https://www.fsa.usda.gov/Assets/USDA-FSA-Public/usdafiles/FactSheets/2022/fsa_erp_factsheet_2022_051222_final_v2.pdf or search FSA Emergency Relief Program Fact Sheet to see the entire breakdown of payment factors.
This isn’t without some commitments by producers, however. There is an agreement that if a producer accepts payments under this program, they must purchase crop insurance or NAP coverage for the next two available crop years. The coverage level must be at least 60% for crop insurance and catastrophic (CAT) or above for NAP insurance. Also, Phase 1 payments calculated on crop insurance indemnities will be based on a 75% payment factor to ensure that the program retains enough funding through Phase 2. NAP payments will not be subjected to the 75% payment factor.
This follows a trend in ad hoc disaster payments where the federal government is rewarding those producers who seek risk management strategies on their own. If you do not participate in these programs, you may want to contact your local county extension agent to learn more about risk mitigation on your operation.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — A man reported May 28 that three unidentified men assaulted and robbed him of his phone and money.
Police responded to the call around 2:45 a.m. The man said he was walking back to his residence in the Dunwoody Villas Apartments when three men inside the complex surrounded him. He said one of the men punched him in the face, and another put a gun to his head and told him to hand over his belongings.
The man said he told the suspects he didn’t have any money but to take whatever they wanted. He said the men forced him to the ground and began kicking him while keeping the gun pointed at him. The man said the suspects took his iPhone and about $900 in cash from him before leaving the scene.
The man was not able to remember his Apple ID in an attempt to track his iPhone. When police asked for his identification, the man pulled out his wallet “which still contained several bills,” according to the report. Police noticed abrasions on the man’s arm consistent with an assault. | https://www.appenmedia.com/public_safety/dunwoody-resident-reports-assault-armed-robbery-at-complex/article_04cc80c4-e6a6-11ec-a626-ff51d312e5e0.html | 2022-06-12T14:17:01Z | https://www.appenmedia.com/public_safety/dunwoody-resident-reports-assault-armed-robbery-at-complex/article_04cc80c4-e6a6-11ec-a626-ff51d312e5e0.html | true | 1 |
I wrote a letter regarding the killing of children and possible solutions. All that one writer responded with was to dispute who God is?
Belief in God brings, hopefully, morals and ethics and a belief killing is wrong. Whether you believe in Allah, God, Yahweh, Jehovah or another, to me God is one who preaches not to kill, caring for one another, doing the right thing. The Ten Commandments came from the Bible, true, yet the 10 tenets espoused are good rules to follow no matter who or what you believe.
The writer cites the President and others as evidence that God is already around whereas I see that they say they believe in God but their actions say different.
Poor countries are cited as if they are crime free. Although they don't experience shootings other crime and violence are just as virulent. Poverty is rife; many are ruled by dictators who, having disarmed their people, have no problem killing and/or abusing those they rule, let them starve while the few in charge live in luxury. Look at China persecuting Uighurs, Shanghai leaders barricading people in buildings, left to starve, etc.
The writer appears angry with God, with believers in God, and maybe doesn't even believe in God. My point wasn't to push religion, although truly believing, following God versus giving lip service would help. The point — we have removed basic anchors — religion, morals, ethics — from the lives of our children. This leaves them without good role models, knowledge of right and wrong, dealing/caring fairly for others. Steeped in violent video games, as Senator Ted Cruz has said of the Uvalde shooter, then killing becomes normal. Only we, in how we raise and educate our children, can change this.

Which Milwaukee headlamps are best?
On job sites, deep in the woods or working in the crawlspace of your home, a little extra light can be a lifesaver. Even better is light that’s hands-free. Milwaukee has been making durable, hands-free headlamps for decades, and the brand is trusted by contractors, homeowners and campers for high-quality headlamps that are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
If you appreciate both a spotlight and floodlight to illuminate your work, the Milwaukee 450 Lumens LED Spot/Flood Headlamp with 300 Lumens LED Magnetic Flood Light is a good choice.
What to know before you buy a Milwaukee headlamp
Headlamps are perfect for providing hands-free illumination when you need it, but there are a few considerations to help you choose the best one for you.
Level of brightness
All Milwaukee headlamps feature TRUEVIEW high definition output for cleaner, clearer illumination. Measured in lumens, the higher the number, the brighter the light. But how much additional light do you actually need?
- 100 lumens: This is adequate light for general illumination in strong moonlight.
- 100-250 lumens: If you are hiking at night or completing jobs around the house, this is a good level for adequate light.
- 250 or more: Choose lumens at 250 and above for adding light to completely dark spaces or if you need to move quickly at night.
Power source
Milwaukee headlamps are available in either battery-powered or rechargeable options. Battery-powered headlamps may cost less than rechargeable ones, but if you use your headlamp frequently, the cost of batteries can add up, too.
Rechargeable Milwaukee headlamps require a ready power source. If you are planning on hiking off-grid for weeks at a time, this might not be the best choice.
Weight
You might not consider weight when trying on a headlamp. This makes sense, especially if you only have it on your head for a few minutes to see how it feels. And if you are adding your headlamp to a hard hat, weight is even less of a consideration.
But think about this: if you are wearing your headlamp for hours at a time or taking it with you on a long backpacking trip, every ounce matters.
To make even the heaviest models of a Milwaukee headlamp comfortable, each comes with a headband that wicks moisture for all-day comfort.
What to look for in a quality Milwaukee headlamp
Lightning-fast charging
While some Milwaukee headlamps offer plug-in charging, others rely on charging through a USB port. Charging through a USB port can offer you a much faster charging time of up to a 50% charge in only 30 minutes (full charge in just two hours).
This makes it easy to keep your headlamp charged between jobs or stops on the hiking trail.
Heavy-duty construction
Construction workers are hard on their equipment. Milwaukee headlamps are designed to survive a 2-meter drop with no impact on the headlamp’s performance. They hold up to dirt and moisture better than any other brand.
Brightness settings
Both battery-powered and rechargeable headlamps offer five different brightness settings. These are helpful when you need light in both a large area and in a smaller spot.
These five brightness settings include:
- Spot/Flood Mode: 475 lumens (2.25 hours)
- Flood High Mode: 300 lumens (5 hours)
- Flood Medium Mode: 150 lumens (9 hours)
- Flood Low Mode: 100 Lumens (33 hours)
- Spot High Mode: 300 lumens (4.5 hours)
The brighter the light, the more power you’ll be using.
Multiple light positions
With an easily tilted light, you can direct and position light wherever you need it most. Each Milwaukee headlamp has seven different positions so you don’t have to contort your body to see more clearly.
Warranty
Few manufacturers stand behind their products the way that Milwaukee does. They offer a 2-year warranty for the battery and strap of the headlamp and a limited lifetime warranty for the light. This protects against accidental damage within the specification or from defects in workmanship.
How much you can expect to spend on a Milwaukee headlamp
Expect to spend $45-$125 for a Milwaukee headlamp. This price will fluctuate depending on whether or not your headlamp is rechargeable or battery-powered (and how long that battery holds a charge).
Milwaukee headlamp FAQ
Which Milwaukee headlamp is best for you?
A. The best Milwaukee headlamp for you is the one that fits the purpose. Consider why you are buying a headlamp in the first place. Will you be participating in overnight hikes with little moonlight and faster speeds? You’ll need a brighter headlamp. Looking to take care of some neglected home repairs under the house? A mid-range or brighter headlamp might be a good choice for you, too.
If you’re just trying to be a little safer when you take your dog out at dawn or dusk, you won’t need an ultra-bright light.
While it is always good to plan ahead, there is no need to spend more on features or brightness you don’t need.

IRVINE, Calif., May 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation ( NYMX) reports today that it has received a Refusal to File (“RTF”) letter from FDA on Friday May 20th at 2:48 pm EST, with regard to the Company's New Drug Application (“NDA”) for Fexapotide Triflutate.
Nymox’s position is that clarifications remain to be resolved at a follow-up meeting and that some significant inconsistencies were involved.
The letter referred to a new outstanding issue of longer-term safety data and indicated that Nymox needed to have longer-term safety data in its NDA. Longer-term full safety data (as long as 6 years after a single low dose non-systemic injection given one time only) was not requested by the FDA in any previous pre-NDA communications.
The Company's position is that
1. Fexapotide safety profile is superior to any other conventional BPH treatment.
2. Fexapotide is a local injection with no detectable drug outside of prostate in patients after treatment. For a single injection (ie, given only one time) low dose local administration treatment, typical human clinical safety data duration requirements for approvals are in the few months range or less. Animal testing requirements are generally 2 weeks.
3. The FDA agreed at the end of Phase 2 that for eventual approval one-year safety data after a single injection of fexapotide 2.5 mg was adequate for Phase 3 pivotal studies, for clinical safety duration requirements. In Nymox pivotal Phase 3 trials 0017 and 0018, this data was achieved, and 12-month full safety data was provided in the NDA.
4. The FDA provided detailed safety requests at the fexapotide pre-NDA meeting, which categorically did not include a longer-term clinical safety data request for fexapotide.
5. In addition, the NDA does include even longer-term (2-3 years) full safety data for fexapotide from n=344 subjects in Phase 3 Studies NX02-0020 and NX02-0022.
6. There is no evidence of any long-term adverse safety outcomes in the pivotal study data for fexapotide.
Nymox will continue to seek clarifications on the above and will report further material information when available.

Lakers will be near ‘tops of lists’ for undrafted free agents
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Los Angeles LakersLiveTodayTomorrowvs--|
The Los Angeles Lakers may not have a pick in this month’s NBA draft, but that doesn’t mean they won’t try to acquire one.
During the introductory press conference for new head coach Darvin Ham, general manager Rob Pelinka said the team wants to obtain a second-round draft pick in order to get younger.
But that may not be the only way for the Lakers to find a rookie to develop this coming season.
According to Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times, agents of players who will go undrafted consider the Lakers one of the main teams to get such players to sign with.
Via Los Angeles Times:
“The Lakers will again be among the tops of lists for agents with players who go undrafted, the team having so many holes to fill and the success of Austin Reaves as a template. And with two fewer players being drafted because of the Bulls and Heat forfeiting picks, the talent pool should be slightly better.”
Of course, Los Angeles has had success recently with undrafted rookies turning out to be useful players.
Reaves is the latest example, as he showed off a versatile skill set and instinctual feel for the game this season.
Before that, Alex Caruso became the classic example of an undrafted, unheralded player developing into a key role player, on a world championship team to boot.
With the Lakers lacking draft picks and young, tradable assets, it looks like they’re looking to make the most out of the limited resources they have to work with. | https://sports.yahoo.com/lakers-near-tops-lists-undrafted-132541126.html?src=rss | 2022-06-12T14:51:37Z | https://sports.yahoo.com/lakers-near-tops-lists-undrafted-132541126.html?src=rss | false | 1 |

LINDA WERTHEIMER, host:
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. Scott Simon is on assignment; I'm Linda Wertheimer.
Washington is entering what promises to be a critical month for both lawmakers and the Bush administration. The US Supreme Court begins its session on Monday with a new chief justice, and a potential battle looms over a still-unnamed nominee to replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. On October 15th, voters in Iraq are scheduled to decide on their new constitution, a critical step toward a US military withdrawal from that country. And less than a week later, on October 21st, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay will be arraigned in a Texas court on a felony conspiracy charge. NPR's White House correspondent Don Gonyea joins us.
Hi, Don.
DON GONYEA reporting:
Hey, good morning.
WERTHEIMER: Let's begin with House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. Now he's been indicted by a Texas grand jury for allegedly violating campaign finance laws. How big a blow has this indictment been to Mr. DeLay and to the Republicans?
GONYEA: It's certainly not good news for DeLay, for the party or for the White House. It raises uncertainty within the Congress, and it comes at a time when the president himself is struggling. His own approval ratings have been hurting because of the hurricane response and because of the war in Iraq and because of high gas prices. Those are all big things. So having trouble within a Republican leadership is at the very least an unneeded distraction for the White House.
It also comes just a week after a story about the Republican Senate majority leader, Bill Frist, who's being investigated about the sale of a large amount of stock just before that stock took a big drop in value. Frist's is a story that's still in the early stages. Tom DeLay, however, is facing actual indictment and having to give up his leadership post. So it's not good news for the White House or for the party.
WERTHEIMER: Now some positive news for the administration this week: John Roberts is the new chief justice of the United States, easily confirmed. On Monday, he will preside over the court, and we will all wait for the naming of yet another nominee to replace Justice O'Connor. How might this next nomination process play out, do you think? Is the White House treating it like it's going to be a big fight?
GONYEA: They are. The Roberts nomination process probably couldn't have gone more smoothly for the White House. He was very skilled at getting through the hearings. There wasn't a lot that opponents could pin on him, but he was also a conservative replacing a conservative, William Rehnquist. The question on the next one is how much more conservative will this nominee be than his or her predecessor, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor? Will it be a woman? Will it be a minority? But the sense is that this one is not likely to go nearly as smoothly.
WERTHEIMER: This has also been a week in which news of hurricane recovery dominated the headlines. Do they feel at the White House that the administration, which started off so badly with Katrina, was able to get on top of the recovery from Rita?
GONYEA: They do, and polls give the president pretty high marks for handling Rita. But it's a big contrast to Katrina. The other thing is, Mike Brown, the former FEMA director, was in Congress this week, doing a lot of finger-pointing, doing a lot of that blame game. So that served as a reminder to people about how the first one went.
WERTHEIMER: Very quickly, the Government Accountability Office said the Bush administration broke the law when it hired Armstrong Williams to push education policy. That's, I guess, just another piece of bad news.
GONYEA: Yes, and this story comes at a time when we have hurricane news, ongoing violence, the Tom DeLay story. The Williams story's an example of how this administration has always tried to control the news.
WERTHEIMER: Right.
GONYEA: This week, I think, is an example of how difficult that is.
WERTHEIMER: NPR's White House correspondent Don Gonyea.
Thank you, Don.
GONYEA: My pleasure. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR. | https://www.hppr.org/2005-09-30/a-turbulent-time-on-the-political-scene | 2022-06-12T14:57:19Z | https://www.hppr.org/2005-09-30/a-turbulent-time-on-the-political-scene | false | 1 |
Squid Game star opens up on filming death scene: 'I was so happy'
The 067 actress, Jung Ho-yeon, explains why the shocking moment was "the most comfortable scene I ever had."
Jung Ho-yeon – who starred as 067 in Netflix series Squid Game – has revealed she enjoyed filming her death scene on the mega-hit show.
Chatting with Killing Eve star Sandra Oh during a Variety “Actors on Actors” conversation, Jung explained why she wasn't sad when her character was killed off in the final episode despite it being one of the most shocking moments in the series.
“Maybe it’s weird to say it, but while I’m shooting my death scene, I was so happy," she said. "It was the most comfortable scene I ever had.”
By entering your details, you are agreeing to our terms and conditions and privacy policy. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Explaining what she meant by that, she added: "It’s because I’ve been living with my character over a few months, and then there is a time that I have to let her go, and I kind of feel like I can happily let her go, because I can understand, maybe not fully, but I’m the one who can understand her most in this world.
"So I know her stress, and I know how her life was [such a] struggle and hard. So it wasn’t that bad or sad.”
Speaking during a Drama Actress Roundtable with The Hollywood Reporter last month, Jung revealed that she initially thought she had messed up her performance when she first watched the episodes with her fellow cast members.
"My first message to director Hwang after I watched Squid Game was, 'I am so sorry. And thank you so much for casting me,'" she explained. "I’m going to cry. It was so stressful. I was trying to prepare for the bad reactions and everything."
Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk is currently hard at work on season 2, although he's said that he is "still brainstorming and collecting the ideas for season 2" and hasn't started writing yet – so fans may have a while to wait.

ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
Here's an important detail about Wallace that you should know. He is a great lover of cheese.
(Soundbite from "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit")
Mr. PETER SALLIS: (As Wallace) See what you think (music). Wensleydale.
SIEGEL: Now we have it on good authority that on the strength of "Wallace and Gromit" alone Wensleydale cheese has become a favorite cheese of British schoolchildren. Wensleydale, we are assured, is a chalky cheese and was a popular cheese in the UK even before becoming a best-seller. So what will happen to the cheese featured in the new "Wallace and Gromit" release during which Wallace, the man, faints and is revived by a whiff of a fragrant English cheese named Stinking Bishop, which is a real cheese made by just one real cheesemaker, Charles Martell, who joins us from Gloucestershire.
Mr. Martell, are you ready for "Wallace and Gromit" fans in the millions to start ordering Stinking Bishop?
Mr. CHARLES MARTELL (Cheesemaker): No, I'm not, but I'm afraid it's started already. The film hasn't gone out and our orders have increased 500 percent. So we've got a problem already.
SIEGEL: You don't make all that much Stinking Bishop, I gather?
Mr. MARTELL: No, we're very small. It's just me and two assistants, and we make about 123 pound cheeses a day, 20 tons a year, which in the grand scheme of things is absolutely nothing.
SIEGEL: But 20 tons a year, you're looking already at conceivably 100 tons a year and you think it's going to multiply beyond that.
Mr. MARTELL: Yes. The only problem is we can't expand. We're a small farm. The vat that contains the milk is only 300 gallons. So we can't wave a wand and make it bigger, and, in fact, I don't want to be any bigger. We're very happy here. I love cheesemaking and I want to stay as I am. So I don't know quite what happens next.
SIEGEL: Have you thought about marketing it in very, very small pieces so it could go around some more?
Mr. MARTELL: Well, the trouble is when you cut it, it sort of runs everywhere. It's got a sort of leathery coat and inside it can be almost liquid. So I've obviously thought of that, but I don't think it's a starter.
SIEGEL: Well, between that description and the name Stinking Bishop, it sounds like a very attractive cheese.
Mr. MARTELL: Well, 90 percent of people will think it's disgusting because of the smell. But, in fact, if you can get past the smell it's not too bad inside. We always say 0its bark is worse than its bite.
SIEGEL: (Laughs) And how do people typically eat their Stinking Bishop? Is it, you know, as a dessert cheese or before their meal or...
Mr. MARTELL: Yes. Personally, I eat it on its own, just from a knife. Disgusting manners I've got, but--and possibly with a glass of perry, which is the pear cider, if you like, but it's washed in to produce the smelly rind. It sort of seems to marry well with the cheese if you can be brave enough to get that far.
SIEGEL: Is--I gather my use of the word `fragrant' was an understatement?
Mr. MARTELL: It was an understatement. But the reason it's called Stinking Bishop is actually it's one of the varieties of perry pear that grow in this--just in this part of England, which, in turn, was named after a man called Bishop, who was an unsavory character, very impatient. When he couldn't boil his kettle he shot it. So he was a bit of a local character. Anyway he bred this pear originally in the middle of the 19th century and his nickname got attached to the pear which then now has become attached to the cheese.
SIEGEL: Do you have either a friend or a bad enemy involved in the production of this movie who has put you in this predicament?
Mr. MARTELL: No, we just don't know why they--I think they picked up the idea just because of the name of the cheese. They thought, oh, this is fun because that's how the makers are. They're a bit, we say quirky in English.
SIEGEL: Mm-hmm, we say that too in English here.
Mr. MARTELL: Oh, do you?
SIEGEL: Yeah, we do.
Mr. MARTELL: Sorry, I didn't mean to offend anybody. So I think they just liked the name.
SIEGEL: Thank you very much for your time, Charles Martell of Gloucestershire, cheesemaker, who makes and is the only person makes, Stinking Bishop cheese. Thanks a lot for talking with us.
Mr. MARTELL: Thanks very much.
SIEGEL: You're listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News.

ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
And I'm Melissa Block.
The death toll from this month's earthquake in South Asia has risen sharply. Pakistan's government puts the number at more than 47,000, but tallies from regional authorities indicate that nearly 80,000 people died, most of them in Pakistan; others in India. And aftershocks continue to roll through the region. According to a UN estimate, several million people have been left homeless, many in remote mountain villages. Richard Brennan is director of health programs with the International Rescue Committee, a relief group working in Pakistan. He says his team spent the day working in villages in the northern part of the hard-hit Mansehra district.
Mr. RICHARD BRENNAN (Director of Health Programs, International Rescue Committee): We spent much of our time in a village called Markan, where we ran a medical clinic, and the village itself has been devastated by the earthquake. Two thousand people live in the village; 33 people were killed. All the houses now are non-habitable, and everyone's camping out in tents and other structures that--made from makeshift materials.
BLOCK: It sounds like some supplies then have gotten in there if there are tents at this village now.
Dr. BRENNAN: Yeah. Only about 50 percent of the families there have actually received a tent, so the others have made their dwellings from blankets and plastic sheeting and whatever they can find. But it was comforting to see two or three trucks come through today distributing blankets, distributing food to that village and other villages around.
BLOCK: Can you describe the landscape some and how difficult it is to get supplies in there?
Dr. BRENNAN: Well, it's quite mountainous and it's physically very, very beautiful. It's a wonderful part of Pakistan. The roads have been cleared somewhat; they're still narrow. There have been landslides blocking roads. And there are other villages that are still only accessible by foot.
BLOCK: You mentioned a medical clinic that your staff was working at in this village of Markan. What sorts of either injuries or diseases are you seeing now?
Dr. BRENNAN: The main diseases we're seeing right now--we're not seeing the acute injuries. Most of the people that have had--that sustained injuries during the earthquake had the immediate medical care that they required; they've had their stitches and so on. We're seeing a number of those individuals with infected wounds. But you know, as time moves along, the emphasis of medical care is really going to shift to these infectious diseases like pneumonia, diarrhea. There's a big concern about measles because in a stressed population, measles can spread very, very quickly and the vaccination rate here is very low.
But certainly, the commonest problem we're seeing right now is chest infections and colds because of the exposure, because of the lack of shelter. It's getting quite cold now, we've had a lot of rain, so exposure is a problem.
BLOCK: And the idea is, even with these cold temperatures to provide shelter in place--in other words, not to try to bring people down to where there might be more permanent shelter in other places?
Dr. BRENNAN: Well, it's a great question, and it's a point of a lot of discussion here. A number of the UN agencies and certainly the government were eager to set up camp settlements, but the Pakistanis themselves are--most of them are adamant they want to stay near their homes. So there's still ongoing discussions right now about how many camps there will be. Certainly, it would be easier for us to provide services if people came down to more camp-type settlements, but our experience in other refugee settings and other disaster settings suggests that's really not the best way to go about providing shelter. It really is better to let people stay where they want to stay, where they feel more comfortable. They can rebuild. And, you know, over time they'll certainly be able to access the full services that they require.
BLOCK: They're talking about bringing winterized tents to these people. I'm trying to figure out what that means and if these tents would be able to survive a winter in these mountains.
Dr. BRENNAN: Perhaps the biggest concern is the fact that these tents are actually very much in short supply. One of the senior UN officials said only a couple of days ago that he believes that there just aren't enough of these tents existing anywhere in the world to meet the needs that we have right now in the earthquake-affected area. And part of the irony of it is that Pakistan is one of the cheap producers of these types of tents. So it's going to require a concerted relief effort for months and months to come.
BLOCK: Dr. Brennan, thanks for talking with us.
Dr. BRENNAN: Thanks a lot, Melissa.
BLOCK: Richard Brennan is director of health programs for the International Rescue Committee. He spoke with us from Abbottabad, Pakistan.

Lewis Hamilton 'clearly stressed' as Mercedes warned bouncing may give Brit 'concussion'
LEWIS HAMILTON finished fourth at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen makes subtle dig at Lewis Hamilton
Damon Hill has warned Lewis Hamilton that the bouncing he is suffering may eventually cause him a concussion, after the seven-time world champion was caught on camera in pain getting out of his car after finishing fourth in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Hamilton’s car was bouncing severely on the long home straight in Baku, and the Brit complained several times on his team radio about the issue. At the end of the race Mercedes chief Toto Wolff was forced to apologise for the physical torment the 37-year-old was put through.
“He has got to drive it and he is clearly getting stressed from doing that,” Hill told Sky Sports F1. “The other thing I am thinking about is if you keep doing that, you are going to get some sort of concussion.
“It is a mild thing, but it is headbanging all the way round. It is just not an ideal state of play at all and he has probably scuffed a bit of skin off his lower back I should think. I think it is a horrible frequency that Mercedes is doing compared to the Red Bull, it is a very, very high pitch one and I think it is really hammering on that back.”
Hamilton has suffered from porpoising and bouncing throughout the year, and his Mercedes team-mate George Russell has claimed that the new era of Formula One cars are “dangerous” and that a major incident is waiting to happen.
“It is a horrible frequency for the head and also for the back at the same time,” Hill added. “Worse than the Red Bull or Ferrari. They can’t expect Lewis and George to go through this year suffering the way they are at the moment. It’s the hip as well, the way you sit in the cockpit it is no surprise, they have got to do something, they have got to make those drivers get through a whole season and their careers.”
Hamilton finished fourth in Baku, behind Russell and the two Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz as both Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz were unable to finish the race. "This is a bit of a **** box to drive," Wolff said to Hamilton after the Brit finished the race. "And sorry for the back problems."
"Well done, guys," replied Hamilton. "And well done on the strategy. Thank you on continuing to push, but make some changes, okay? Please. Let's keep pushing."
"I don't think you can suck it up because it’s just really bad for the back," the Mercedes boss admitted to Sky Sports F1 before the race. "I'm not even sure we can go full length with Lewis, it's based on physical pain. It's really compressing the spine. I think that most of the drivers have now come to the conclusion that it’s really bad. It's the moment now to say that is a real issue and what can we do to lift everybody up." | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/f1-autosport/1624328/Lewis-Hamilton-stressed-Mercedes-bouncing-concussion-Azerbaijan-Grand-Prix-Baku | 2022-06-12T15:21:41Z | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/f1-autosport/1624328/Lewis-Hamilton-stressed-Mercedes-bouncing-concussion-Azerbaijan-Grand-Prix-Baku | true | 1 |
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
Residents in northern Kentucky and southern Indiana are cleaning up after a tornado tore through the region early Sunday. The storm claimed the lives of more than 20 people, most of them residents of a mobile home park in Evansville, Indiana. Rescuers retrieved one body today from a nearby pond. Evansville Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel says search-and-rescue efforts are still under way there.
Mayor JONATHAN WEINZAPFEL (Evansville, Indiana): There are hundreds of people that live in this trailer home park. As you can imagine, some people may be out of state; some people were staying with relatives; other people were able to get out in time. And so it's been a real difficult job trying to identify or account for all the people that are known to live in that trailer park. In talking to the county coroner, we surmise that there are probably about five or six people left unaccounted for. Now they may be out of state, or, unfortunately, they may have perished in the tornado. We have yet to discover them.
NORRIS: Mayor, I understand you were out at that mobile home park just before this conversation, right before you came in to talk to us. Can you describe for us what you saw?
Mayor WEINZAPFEL: Well, it's nothing like I've ever seen before in my life, just complete devastation, of looking at basically about a 500-yard swath that this tornado took right through a trailer park. Some of the first-responders, who I had a chance to talk to on the scene yesterday, described this as similar to what they encountered in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Now obviously, it wasn't as extensive, but it's that same intensity of damage that they saw down there.
NORRIS: Tornadoes happen every year in Indiana, but--and when they do, they often strike with little warning. This one struck in the wee hours of the morning.
Mayor WEINZAPFEL: Right.
NORRIS: So I guess there wasn't much time to get the word out.
Mayor WEINZAPFEL: Well, the warning sirens went off about 1:49 AM, and again, 10 minutes later at 1:59 AM. And then the tornado struck the trailer park about 2:01 in the morning. So the sirens went off, but as you can imagine, at 2:00 in the morning, people are sound asleep. There's a storm that's raging outside, so they're--the sirens are competing with the noise from the wind, the thunder, lightning, the rain.
NORRIS: And from where you were in the county, could you hear them?
Mayor WEINZAPFEL: Well, I did not hear them over the storm, no.
NORRIS: So it's possible that people there in the mobile home didn't hear them either.
Mayor WEINZAPFEL: Yeah, I would suspect that was the case.
NORRIS: The city and the county at one point considered plans for a telephone warning system. I gather those plans were scrapped because of budget concerns. Might the county reconsider this now?
Mayor WEINZAPFEL: Well, we'll have an opportunity to review once we conclude our search-and-rescue efforts and our efforts in cleaning up this area. And obviously, one of the things we'll do is we'll take a step back and review how the public safety agencies all performed and how well they were coordinated, what things can we do to try to ensure that this doesn't happen again.
You know, one thing just that I've had a chance to talk to our building commissioner about is how strong are the tethers required to be to fasten the trailer homes to the concrete slabs upon which they reside. You know, we've talked about maybe there's some things that Florida has incorporated, some new rules that they've put in place, that would require stronger tethers to make sure that the trailer homes struck with high winds just aren't thrown hundreds of yards through the air. So there are a lot of things that we need to do in review of how we performed and how we can do a better job in saving lives, should this type of natural disaster occur again.
NORRIS: Mayor Weinzapfel, thank you so much for joining us.
Mayor WEINZAPFEL: Thank you.
NORRIS: Jonathan Weinzapfel is the mayor of Evansville, Indiana.

Dragons’ Den star Hilary Devey dies aged 65
Hilary Devey died in Morocco on Saturday, it has been confirmed.
Former Dragons’ Den star Hilary Devey has died aged 65, her publicist has confirmed.
The TV star died on Saturday, after a long illness, in Morocco, where she had a property, her publicist Benjamin Webb told the PA news agency.
She joined BBC Two programme Dragons’ Den in 2011 and left in 2012, going on to present Channel 4’s The Intern.
In 2013 she was made a CBE, honoured for a career in business and for her charitable work.
She founded the multimillion-pound freight distribution business Pall-Ex, after selling her home and car in the 1990s to finance it.
Her charity work included her position as vice president of the Carers Trust and she was also a patron of the Stroke Association, having herself suffered a stroke in 2009.
She also appeared in The Business Inspector on Channel 5.
Describing being made a CBE for services to the transport industry and to charity, she said at the time: “In every sense of the word, this is a great honour and I am equally flattered and flabbergasted.
“It is wonderful to receive such recognition, but this should be less about me, and more about the charities that I support and the amazing transport sector in which I am privileged to work.
“So I dedicate my honour to the Carers Trust, the Stroke Association, and Fresh Start – New Beginnings, and the other charities that I have tried to support, as well as to the lorry drivers, forklift truck drivers and everyone else who works in the logistics sector: the unsung heroes of British industry.”
Devey was born in Bolton, and from the age of seven started helping out in the pubs and corner shop run by her parents.
She left school at 16 and later moved to London for work, where she worked in logistics for companies include TNT.
Devey came to public attention when she replaced James Caan on Dragon’s Den, later saying her best investment had been a mattress/duvet for caravans, boats and trucks.
In 2017, Devey gave up cigarettes after reportedly smoking “at least 20 a day for over 40 years”.
“I’ve been hooked on cigarettes and ignoring the damage – even though I know the harm I’m doing,” she said at the time.
“I’ve found it extremely difficult to quit for good.”
Dragons’ Den star Duncan Bannatyne, who was on the show for a decade, appearing alongside Devey, tweeted: “Sad to hear that @HilaryDevey has passed. So young. Too young. Rest in Peace Hilary.”
High-profile businessman Theo Paphitis, who also appeared on Dragons’ Den at the same time as Devey, also remembered her.
He tweeted: “So sad to hear of the passing of the lovely Hilary Devey. She left us all with some fantastic memories, may she rest in peace. My thoughts are with her family. x”

Voters in last week’s elections soundly rejected criminal justice reformers in Orange County and San Francisco, sparking debate about the future of California’s progressive movement and the fate of the recall campaign against progressive Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon.
Despite their differences, there is one thing tough-on-crime and progressive factions can both agree on: fear is a great motivator. Whether that fear is well-placed or the product of political spin, voters don’t like to feel unsafe and will mark their ballots accordingly, experts said.
“The ‘NIMBYism’ of California is that criminal justice reform is fine and good, as long as I’m not less safe,” said Jodi Balma, a political science professor at Fullerton College. “They want reform in theory, they want reform in the abstract. … For all of California’s progressive reputation, we have always been and always will be tough on crime.”
That said, many experts counsel against reading too much into the landslide recall of progressive San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin in one of the nation’s most liberal communities. Boudin faced a well-funded campaign that played on the frustrations and fears of a public that blamed him for local smash-and-grab robberies.
Matt Lesenyie, an assistant political science professor at Cal State Long Beach, said San Francisco voters did not reject the progressive message, just the messenger.
“Was it a landslide repudiation of progressives? No,” Lesenyie said. “If there is a lesson to be learned, it’s who is the face of the movement? … Boudin isn’t a great mouthpiece.”
He added, “People in San Francisco still want to unwind the criminal justice system.”
Similarly, Lesenyie said, Gascon in Los Angeles County could be unfairly blamed if a major crime occurs.
“The worst thing that could happen to Gascon is a prominent case that could happen to any district attorney, some horrific murder,” he said.
Some reformers did well
Cristine Soto DeBerry, director of the progressive Prosecutors Alliance of California, said reformers did well in other California races. Incumbent Attorney General Rob Bonta sailed to a pending faceoff with GOP challenger Nathan Hochman in the November election. Incumbent Contra Costa County District Attorney Diana Becton won re-election outright. And in Alameda County, civil rights lawyer Pamela Price was the lead vote-getter in the race for district attorney, heading to a November runoff.
“People want to point to the recall as a harbinger that reform is dead … but voters are not accepting that point of view,” DeBerry said. “The truth is reform is growing in this state. I don’t believe taxpayers want to continue to fund a failing system.”
One of the components of the progressive platform is that the criminal justice system has relied too long on incarceration as the answer to crime, rejecting the notion of rehabilitation. It is a system based on punishment as a deterrent, in which too many juveniles are charged as adults, too many people of color and those with mental illness are unfairly imprisoned. Yet crime remains unfettered.
“We’re not succeeding (in the criminal justice system) on any side of the equation,” DeBerry said. “Of course we want safety, but do we want it at the expense of all our values?”
In Orange County, incumbent District Attorney Todd Spitzer walloped his nearest opponent, Democratic progressive candidate Pete Hardin. Spitzer capitalized on one of Orange County’s biggest bugaboos — becoming like Los Angeles County.
The tactic worked despite Spitzer’s scandals, including his violation of the state Racial Justice Act in a double-murder case. No sanctions were issued, but Spitzer was soundly criticized for his statement during an internal meeting that some Black men date White women to enhance their status in the community.
‘Progressives need to listen’
When the campaigning was over late Tuesday, Spitzer told the Orange County Register that he was in favor of some reform and wanted to find common ground with Gascon and Boudin. He stressed that his reelection to a second term and Boudin’s recall were a referendum against the “excessives” of the progressive movement.
“When San Francisco rejects a progressive district attorney, the progressives need to listen,” Spitzer said. “People are sick and tired.”
Agreeing is Jon Fleischman, a conservative political consultant and publisher of the Flash Report website.
“The pendulum swung too far away from the people victimized by crime,” Fleischman said. “There’s overreach. (The reforms) all sound great until they don’t work in practice. If you’re afraid to go to the market, that’s pretty real. The sound-good policies of the left fail when they don’t keep people safe.”
In Spitzer’s case, politicos said his strategy of linking his chief opponent, Hardin, to a future of apocalyptic crime was “brilliant.”
“He defined Pete Hardin before Hardin ever got to introduce himself to the voters,” said Fullerton political scientist Balma.
She said Spitzer has been around Orange County politics for 30 years, as a school board member, county supervisor and state assemblyman, so long that people may have voted for him based on past accomplishments — despite his “ready, shoot, aim” reputation.
“Maybe they haven’t paid attention to his last four years as district attorney, but they remember he was against (putting) the airport in El Toro,” Balma said.
As Fred Smoller, a political science professor at Chapman University, put it: “Todd is a known commodity. They may not like him, but they trust Todd to be Todd.” | https://www.whittierdailynews.com/2022/06/12/losses-by-progressives-in-oc-and-san-francisco-da-races-send-mixed-message/ | 2022-06-12T15:32:22Z | https://www.whittierdailynews.com/2022/06/12/losses-by-progressives-in-oc-and-san-francisco-da-races-send-mixed-message/ | true | 12 |
One of the many leaders in the opposition displeased with the heightened security and unusual restrictions in the wake of chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan's public events is his predecessor, Oommen Chandy.
The veteran Congress leader has reminded the incumbent that "those who use the power to govern, must also respect the right to protest".
"In a democracy, the public has a right to protest," said Oommen Chandy.
"During my time (as chief minister) there were no such security restrictions. Even stones were pelted, remember? Had the crowd been disbursed no one would have thrown stones at my car, right?"
Chandy was referring to an incident from October 2013 when LDF activists had pelted stones at his convoy in Kannur injuring him.
Then, chief minister Chandy was been gheraoed by CPM and DYFI workers over the Solar Scam. Chandy had sustained injuries on his head and chest after the CM's car had bore the brunt of the attack.
"The chief minister's security is important and his travel shouldn't be obstructed. That has to be ensured by the police.
"But to say that the public can't wear black dress or masks or wave black flags is not right in a democracy, isn't it?" said Chandy.
Congress and BJP have stepped up their protests against CM Vijayan in the wake of recent revelations by Thiruvananthapuram gold smuggling case-accused Swapna Suresh.
Chandy, who was at the receiving end during his term as Kerala CM, feels protests that remain within limits shouldn't be obstructed.
"Protests shouldn't cross the limit too. When they were in the opposition, their protests breached all boundaries. But, now there has not been any violence or attempts to destroy public assets, and under such a situation, these restrictions have caused great difficulty to the public," said Chandy.
He said that Kerala "does not deserve a police raj".
"The chief minister has to address these issues. In a democracy, those holding the majority have the right to govern, but at the same time, the others have the right to protest if things are not right," he said. | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/06/12/former-kerala-chief-minister-oommen-chandy-reacts-restrictions-imposed-for-pinarayi-vijayans-public-events.html | 2022-06-12T15:32:27Z | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/06/12/former-kerala-chief-minister-oommen-chandy-reacts-restrictions-imposed-for-pinarayi-vijayans-public-events.html | true | 2 |

Which toy storage ideas for living rooms are best?
Living rooms are the places we gather to watch TV, play games and have conversations. Most people like them to be neat, clean, organized and visually appealing.
The bigger the toy box, the more noticeable it will be in your living room so one solution is to disguise it. If you are looking for a toy box that is hidden beneath a bench that looks good with your living room decor, take a look at the Kidkraft Limited Edition Wooden Toy Box and Bench.
What to know before you buy toy storage furniture for your living room
There are three main types of toy storage furniture that people commonly use in their homes: toy boxes, toy chests and storage benches. It’s a good idea to consider the pros and cons of each before deciding which option is best for your living room.
Toy boxes
Also called bins, these are four-sided containers with a fixed bottom and no top. Toy boxes are the easiest to use because all you have to do is toss your toys inside when putting them away. Bins are excellent choices for kids bedrooms because they are simple, informal and functional. However, a box overflowing with toys is probably not the look most people want in their living room.
Toy chests
Another good choice for storing toys in the living room is a toy organizer, also called a toy chest. With separate compartments inside, you can put soft toys in one area, puzzles in a second, art supplies in a third and so on. Because they have hinged lids, trunks are better choices for big kids than little ones. The top shouldn’t be so heavy that it is hard to lift and could cause injury if dropped. The downside of using a trunk for toy storage is that you can’t put anything on the lid.
Storage benches
Benches with lids are great products that do double duty. They provide people with a place to sit and have seating areas that lift on hinges to access the storage area inside. Most storage benches have only one large compartment, but it is an easy matter to put smaller storage bins inside to keep toys separated by activity.
What to look for in quality toy storage ideas for living rooms
Decor
The more casual your living room furniture and decor, the more a casual toy storage area will fit right in. If you have a more formal room, you will likely want a toy box that blends in with the rest of the furniture. Better yet is a toy chest that also serves as a table, bench or ottoman.
Safety hinges
The best hinged tops are made so the lid will stay open on its own. Look for hinged tops with dampers on them so they lower slowly and gently, preventing them from suddenly slamming closed and potentially injuring your child.
How much you can expect to spend on toy storage ideas for living rooms
Budget toy boxes that may not be appropriate for use in the living room will cost anywhere from about $20-$100. Expect to spend at least $150 on a living room-grade toy storage box or bench.
Toy storage ideas for living rooms FAQ
What if I need to put things on top of a living room toy storage solution?
A. Your best bet is to avoid toy storage ideas with lids and choose storage that has pullout bins.
How soon can kids learn to put away their toys?
A. No matter how young your child is, it is never too early to introduce them to the notion of having a place for everything so you always know where it is and how to find it.

Authorities arrested 31 members of the white supremacist group Patriot Front near an Idaho pride event Saturday after they were found packed into the back of a U-Haul truck with riot gear.
The men were standing inside the truck wearing khakis, navy blue shirts and beige hats with white balaclavas covering their faces when Coeur d'Alene police stopped the U-Haul and began arresting them on the side of the road.
"They came to riot downtown," Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White said at a news conference.
All 31 were charged with conspiracy to riot, a misdemeanor, White said. The men were going through the booking process Saturday afternoon and are scheduled to be arraigned on Monday, he said.
Based on evidence collected and documents, authorities found that the group was planning to riot in several areas of downtown, not just the park, White said.
Police found riot gear, one smoke grenade, shin guards and shields inside the van, White said. They wore arm patches and logos on their hats that identified them as members of Patriot Front, he said.
Police learned about the U-Haul from a tipster, who reported that "it looked like a little army was loading up into the vehicle" in the parking lot of a hotel, White said. Officials spotted the truck soon after and pulled it over, he said.
Videos of the arrest posted on social media show the men kneeling on the grass with their hands zip-tied behind their backs.
"Reclaim America" was written on the back of one shirt.
Police led the men, one by one, to the front of patrol cars, took off their masks and then brought them to a police van.
Those arrested came from at least 11 states, including Washington, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Colorado, South Dakota, Illinois, Wyoming, Virginia, and Arkansas, White said.
Only one was from Idaho, he said.
The truck was stopped near where the North Idaho Pride Alliance was holding the Coeur d'Alene Pride in the Park event. Police had stepped up their presence in the area during the event.
"It appears these people did not come here to engage in peaceful events," Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris told a Coeur d'Alene Press reporter.
Patriot Front is described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as "a white nationalist hate group" that formed after the deadly "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017.
"Patriot Front focuses on theatrical rhetoric and activism that can be easily distributed as propaganda for its chapters across the country," the Southern Poverty Law Center said of the group.
The group's manifesto calls for the formation of a white ethnostate in the United States, the Southern Poverty Law Center said.

As the world grows more complicated, so do methods for navigating through it. Often, the Internet is more reliable than a human when it comes to giving directions. But in some areas, that's not the case.
When friends want to visit Jacob Sisk, for instance, MapQuest sends them on a route through Los Angeles that includes a right-hand turn on Loma Vista Place. But driving the route is impossible: far from a "street," Loma Vista Place is actually a sidewalk that goes up a set of stairs.
A test of two other main map services besides MapQuest, Yahoo and Google, shows that all of them try to send drivers up the stairs. Since they all rely on the same road database company, NAVTEQ, for their road databases, the problem is duplicated on all the map sites.
To give directions, the Web sites consult a digital atlas of the country, built on road databases provided by companies like NAVTEQ.
Computers at each service then create an optimum route between the start and end points, taking into account things like favoring major thoroughfares and avoiding left turns. The proprietary programs that solve these problems have continued to evolve since 1959, when Dutch computer programmer Edsger Dijkstra developed an algorithm in to find the quickest route between two places.
Officials at each company say inaccuracies are rare. MapQuest, for instance, which doles out about 7 million sets of directions every day, says that less then a tenth of 1 percent of its users contact the company -- and only a fraction of those are complaints.
Meanwhile, NAVTEQ, the road database company, has hundreds of people driving around the country, trying to find snags in their data. NAVTEQ says the Loma Vista Place problem is being fixed. And some day soon, Jacob Sisk won't have to give out directions himself.

Investors are best off owning stable-growth stocks amid recession risks and should target these 3 sectors, says Goldman stock chief
Goldman Sachs' chief US equity strategist thinks investors are better off owning stable-growth stocks.
David Kostin told CNBC that investors should focus less on balance sheet strength amid recession risk.
He listed energy, healthcare and large-cap profitable tech stocks as his three sectors to eye.
Investors are better off turning their attention to stable-growth stocks as opposed to worrying about balance sheet strength, Goldman Sachs' chief US equity strategist said.
David Kostin told CNBC on Thursday that his take is against the grain of popular thinking, specifically that stocks with strong balance sheets typically fare better when heading toward a potential recession.
But that's not the case anymore, because balance-sheet strength and higher growth have converged into some of the same stocks, which are now vulnerable to rate hikes from the Federal Reserve, he said.
"A lot of the stronger balance sheet stocks are also a lot of the growth-ier stocks, and as the interest rate market has re-priced the idea of more Fed tightening over the last several months, growth stocks have done less well," Kostin said.
That has made companies with slower or more stable growth profiles increasingly attractive to fund managers in the current environment, he added.
The remarks came a day before new inflation data raised expectations that the Fed will remain aggressive with its tightening campaign — or even get more hawkish. The Labor Department reported Friday that consumer price growth in May jumped to a fresh 41-year high of 8.6%, accelerating from April's 8.3% pace.
Prior to the report, the central bank was expected to raise benchmark rates another 50 basis points at its next two meetings, but some investors are now betting on 75 basis points.
To find outperformance in the stock market, investors should look to better earnings growth, Kostin said, pointing to energy, healthcare and large-cap profitable tech stocks as three segments that could be used to build a portfolio.
In fact, energy has "some of the best growth in the market in terms of both sales and earnings — obviously commodity prices are up so much," he added.

NAIROBI, Kenya Jun 12 – Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Deputy Presidential Candidate Martha Karua on Sunday held several rallies in Eldoret town which is perceived to be a stronghold of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
Speaking during various rallies she urged residents to vote for Raila Odinga come August 9 general elections.
“We are seeking the third and final liberation, which is going to bring the economic revolution that would benefit youths who were the majority in the country,” Karua said during the tour of Ruto’s stronghold.
Karua surprised many in Eldoret when she abandoned her vehicles and walked through the streets to interact with the people.
She later addressed a rally at the Huruma Grounds in the town.
Karua had earlier attended a church service at PCEA church in the town before holding closed-door meetings to plan her campaigns.
The Narc-Kenya Party Leader was accompanied by Azimio leaders including Elgeyo Marakwet Governor Alex Tolgos and former UNCTAD Director-General Mukhisa Kituyi among others. | https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2022/06/karua-takes-azimio-campaigns-to-eldoret/ | 2022-06-12T16:19:11Z | https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2022/06/karua-takes-azimio-campaigns-to-eldoret/ | true | 1 |

Rosmalen, June 12: Tim van Rijthoven completed an astonishing week at the Rosmalen Grass Court Championships by stunning Daniil Medvedev to claim the title on home soil.
World ranked 205 Van Rijthoven had never won an ATP main draw match before receiving a wild card into this event, in which he has enjoyed a dream week.
The Dutchman beat Felix Auger-Aliassime to progress to a final with Medvedev, who is set to return to world number one on Monday.
But he made light of the gulf in tour experience and ranking by powering to a 6-4 6-1 win.
He dominated the contest on serve, landing 74 per cent of his first serves and winning 84 per cent of his first-serve points. Van Rijthoven also lost just four points on second serve.
By contrast, Medvedev won just 56 per cent of points on his first serve and a paltry 38 per cent on his second, the US Open champion facing 10 break points in the contest.
Van Rijthoven raced into a 5-0 lead in the second set and, though Medvedev saved one match point to avoid a bagel, a fairytale win was sealed in the next game when the Russian could only return a serve into the net to spark jubilation among the home fans.

Over the weekend, “Sons of Anarchy” star Ron Perlman shared a super adorable snapshot of his grandson on his Instagram account.
“lil benny calls this meeting to order,” Ron Perlman captioned the post, which features his grandson on the floor with his hands folded in front of him. The TV and film actor’s grandson was born earlier this year. “Say hello to little Benny, welcomed into the world 2/8/22. And now when you call me grandpa it’s a thing of joy!” Perlman wrote at the time.
Ron Perlman’s fans took to the social media platform to gush about the actor’s grandson. “just look at this little guy!” One fan wrote. Another fan added, “Oh my heart… how cute is he!! Is lil Benny calling you Gramps or Pops or Grandpa? Such a blessing!!”
Ron Perlman is currently preparing for the production of his upcoming film “Scream Before You Die.” According to IMDb, the film is about a woman who is kidnapped, tortured, and left for dead. Although the killers think they got away with the acts, they have no idea who (or what) is coming for them. Michael Jai White and Brett Justin Koppel is starring in the film alongside Perlman. The film is expected to premiere later this year.
Ron Perlman Talks Riding Motorcycles on ‘Sons of Anarchy’
During a 2015 interview with NPR, Ron Perlman opens up about how he didn’t ride motorcycles until he starred in the hit TV series, “Son of Anarchy.”
“I had learned to ride a motorcycle for a movie that never happened,” Ron Perlman explained. “So just as I was getting my sea legs under me, it got pulled out from under me. And I never rode any more than that until ‘Sons Of Anarchy’ came around.”
Ron Perlman also admitted that he didn’t actually ride the motorcycle a lot after the series came to an end. “And depending on who you ask, I never did much riding after the fact, either. Me and the bike – we – let’s put it this way – I’d rather be eating Haagen-Dazs.”
When asked if he met with any motorcycle groups before filming the show, Ron Perlman stated that was all done for the cast. “You know, Kurt Sutter created the show. He spent a lot of time in Northern Cali, hanging out with the real deal guys. What you see in a lot of movies – you see a lot of movies about motorcycle gangs, Aand everybody’s scratching, and everybody’s fat and everybody’s hairy. And, you know, it’s kind of like – it’s almost like a caricature version.”
In regards to his character being treated like a pariah in “Sons of Anarchy,” Ron Perlman noted that he experienced being cut from the herd. “You know, being isolated – truly isolated. I mean, you know, that last season I spent on the show, I pretty much never saw anybody that I had been working with for the prior six years, until the last episode, when they offed me.” | https://outsider.com/american-entertainment/tv-2/sons-of-anarchy-ron-perlman-adorable-photo-grandson/ | 2022-06-12T16:33:17Z | https://outsider.com/american-entertainment/tv-2/sons-of-anarchy-ron-perlman-adorable-photo-grandson/ | true | 1 |
Fayard Nicholas, half of the famously acrobatic tap-dancing team the Nicholas Brothers, died earlier this week. He was 91.
The Nicholas Brothers -- Fayard and his younger brother, Harold -- performed alongside big-band jazz acts of the 1930s and '40s. For the 1943 film Stormy Weather, they astounded audiences by swooping around the stage during a Cab Calloway number, never breaking a sweat as they hurled themselves through the air in full tuxedoes.
Fayard Nicholas was born in Mobile, Ala., in 1914. During their career together, the brothers performed at Harlem's Cotton Club, sang and danced for Britain's King Edward IV, and toured the world with their jazz and tap performances. Harold Nicholas, who died in 2000, spoke to Fresh Air about his career with his brother.

Senate bargainers announced a bipartisan framework Sunday responding to last month’s mass shootings, a modest breakthrough offering measured gun curbs and bolstered efforts to improve school safety and mental health programs.
The proposal falls far short of tougher steps long sought by President Joe Biden and many Democrats. Even so, if the accord leads to the enactment of legislation, it would signal a turn from years of gun massacres that have yielded little but stalemate in Congress.
Leaders hope to push any agreement into law quickly — they hope this month — before the political momentum fades that has been stirred by the recent mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas.
In a significant development, 20 senators, including 10 Republicans, released a statement calling for passage. That is potentially crucial because the biggest obstacle to enacting the measure is probably in the 50-50 Senate, where at least 10 GOP votes will be needed to attain the usual 60-vote threshold for approval.
“Families are scared, and it is our duty to come together and get something done that will help restore their sense of safety and security in their communities,” the lawmakers said.
The compromise would make the juvenile records of gun buyers under age 21 available when they undergo background checks. The suspects who killed 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo and 19 students and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde were both 18, and many of the attackers who have committed mass shootings in recent years have been young.
The agreement would offer money to states to implement “red flag” laws that make it easier to temporarily take guns from people considered potentially violent, and to bolster school safety and mental health programs.
And it would take other steps, including requiring more people who sell guns obtain federal dealers’ licenses, which means they would have to conduct background checks of purchasers.
Biden said in a statement that the framework “does not do everything that I think is needed, but it reflects important steps in the right direction, and would be the most significant gun safety legislation to pass Congress in decades.”
Given the bipartisan support, “there are no excuses for delay, and no reason why it should not quickly move through the Senate and the House,” he said.
The announcement underscored the election-year pressure both parties have felt since 10 Black people were killed at a grocery store in Buffalo and 19 students and two teachers were killed at an elementary school in Uvalde. Those massacres prompted two weeks of closed door talks among groups of senators led by Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., John Cornyn, R-Texas, Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and Krysten Sinema, D-Ariz.
The agreement represents a lowest common denominator compromise on gun violence, not a complete sea change in Congress. It comes with lawmakers determined to show they are responding to voters’ revulsion over Buffalo and Uvalde, but with Republicans still blocking more sweeping steps Democrats want.
These include banning assault-style firearms such as the AR-15 style rifles used in Buffalo and Uvalde, or raising the legal age for buying them. AR-15s are popular and powerful semi-automatic weapons that can fire high-capacity magazines and have been used in many of the nation’s highest-profile slaughters in recent years. One of them, the killing of 49 people at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, occurred six years ago Sunday.
Democrats have also wanted to ban high capacity magazines and to expand required background checks to far more gun purchases. None of those proposals has a chance in Congress.

(The Hill) – A bipartisan group of 20 senators announced a framework deal on Sunday to address gun violence following a string of high-profile mass shootings that have reignited a debate over gun control.
The framework includes funding for school safety measures and mental health, a requirement to review juvenile records for firearm buyers under 21 years old and incentives for states to implement “red flag” laws.
The deal was announced by some of the lawmakers who have been negotiating and in talks about what gun-related measures could pass in the chamber.
“Today, we are announcing a commonsense, bipartisan proposal to protect America’s children, keep our schools safe and reduce the threat of violence across our country,” the group said in a statement. “Families are scared, and it is our duty to come together and get something done that will help restore their sense of safety and security in their communities.”
The bipartisan group includes Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Cory Booker (D- N.J.), Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Angus King (I-Maine), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.).
Shortly after the deal was announced, President Biden said in a statement that he would sign whatever proposals came to his desk as soon as possible.
“Each day that passes, more children are killed in this country: the sooner it comes to my desk, the sooner I can sign it, and the sooner we can use these measures to save lives,” Biden said.

- People flocked to a California gas station where a glitch caused a major price drop.
- Local news reported that gas cost only 69 cents a gallon for about three hours.
- "I've never seen gas this price in my lifetime; could you imagine that?" Darryl Surita told CBS 13.
People rushed to a local gas station in Rancho Cordova, California, after a glitch caused prices to drop to 69 cents a gallon.
CBS 13 reported that the glitch occurred at a Shell gas station on Thursday. When people found out, they informed their family and friends about the low price, with one person, Eddie Surita, describing the scene as turning "into a circus within a matter of minutes," per the outlet.
Darryl Surita, who posted the low price on his Instagram, told the news station that due to the error, he only paid $14 to fill up his tank.
"I looked at the numbers and it was 69 cents a gallon," he told the outlet. "So you know what I did, I hit that button, and it started pumping, and the dollar sign just stayed low."
According to local news reports, the employees were unaware of the mistake for about three hours.
KTXL reported that the gas was supposed to be listed as $6.99, but the decimal point was in the wrong place. Per the outlet, gas prices in the city are almost $7 a gallon. Nationally, gas prices are skyrocketing, with a gallon of gas costing $4.97.
"I've never seen gas this price in my lifetime, could you imagine that?" Darryl Surita told CBS 13.

Battered bodies of 7 men dumped on road in Mexico
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.

Love for the KAC
With Horten, the KAC – Klagenfurter Athletiksport Klub – loses its biggest patron and the current president. The KAC has been of particular concern to Horten since the early 1990s. As honorary president of the association, she used her money to make it possible for KAC to repeatedly compete for titles, since the search for sponsors in structurally weak Carinthia was not an easy task.
In 2021 she surprisingly took over the presidency after former President Dietmar Krenn resigned for personal reasons.
No figures were given, but it is said to be a significant part of the budget that comes from Goëss-Horten’s private coffers.
For example, the professional promotion of young talent, which costs one million euros every year, would not be possible in this form without the donations from the patron. We owe her “a great deal of thanks” for this support, said Oliver Pilloni to the KURIER. The General Manager of the KAC was in constant contact with his employer’s patron. For example, she once “couldn’t make it to the final because she was more excited than the players,” Pilloni said at the time. And thus showed a side of Goëss-Horten that remained hidden to many others. | https://shepherdgazette.com/what-hortens-death-means-for-kac/ | 2022-06-12T16:53:32Z | https://shepherdgazette.com/what-hortens-death-means-for-kac/ | true | 1 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Rudy Giuliani, one of Donald Trump’s primary lawyers during the then-president’s failed efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, must now answer to professional ethics charges, the latest career slap after law license suspensions in New York and the District of Columbia.
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel, the disciplinary branch of the District of Columbia Bar, filed the charges against the former federal prosecutor and New York mayor alleging that he promoted unsubstantiated voter fraud claims in Pennsylvania. The action was filed June 6 and became public Friday.
At issue are claims Giuliani made in supporting a Trump campaign lawsuit seeking to overturn the election results in Pennsylvania. That suit, which sought to invalidate as many as 1.5 million mail-in ballots, was dismissed by courts.
The counsel’s office said Giuliani’s conduct violated Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct “in that he brought a proceeding and asserted issues therein without a non-frivolous basis in law and fact for doing so” and “that he engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice.”
The counsel asked that the D.C. Court of Appeals Board on Professional Responsibility take up the matter. Giuliani has 20 days to respond, according to the filing. An attempt Saturday to reach a lawyer for Giuliani was unsuccessful.
The step is the latest against Giuliani for his role in Trump’s debunked claims that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent.
Last June, an appeals court suspended him from practicing law in New York because he made false statements while trying to get courts to overturn Trump’s loss. An attorney disciplinary committee had asked the court to suspend his license on the grounds that he had violated professional conduct rules as he promoted theories that the election was stolen through fraud.
The D.C. Bar temporarily suspended him last July although the practical implication of that action is questionable, given that Giuliani’s law license in Washington has been inactive since 2002.
News of the counsel’s action follows the first public hearing by the House committee investigating the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Giuliani met for hours with the committee last month. | https://www.wnct.com/news/politics/rudy-giuliani-faces-ethics-charges-over-trump-election-role/ | 2022-06-12T16:54:26Z | https://www.wnct.com/news/politics/rudy-giuliani-faces-ethics-charges-over-trump-election-role/ | true | 25 |

LONDON (AP) — Opponents of the British government’s plan to deport migrants to Rwanda are preparing for an appeals court hearing Monday amid the political backlash following reports that Prince Charles had privately described the policy as “appalling.”
A coalition of groups including immigration rights advocates and public employee unions will ask the Court of Appeal in London to reverse a lower court ruling allowing the first deportation flight to go ahead as scheduled on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative government in April announced plans to send some undocumented migrants to Rwanda, where their claims for asylum in the east African nation would be processed. If successful, those migrants would stay in Rwanda. Britain paid Rwanda 120 million pounds ($158 million) upfront and will make additional payments based on the number of people deported.
The program is aimed at discouraging migrants from risking their lives by crossing the English Channel in small boats after a surge in such journeys over the past two years. But human rights groups say the policy is illegal, inhumane and will only magnify the risks for migrants.
The debate filled Britain’s news media over the weekend after the Times of London reported that an unidentified person had heard Prince Charles express opposition to the policy “several times” in private conversations.
“He said he thinks the government’s whole approach is appalling,” the newspaper quoted the source as saying.
Charles’ office, Clarence House, refused to comment on “anonymous private conversations,” but stressed that the prince remains “politically neutral.”
Charles’s comments are problematic because he is the heir to the throne and the British monarch is supposed to remain above the political fray.
The reported conversations raise concerns about whether Charles can be a neutral monarch after a lifetime of speaking out on issues ranging from ocean plastic to architectural preservation. Charles, 73, has taken on an increasingly central role in recent months as health problems have limited the activities of Queen Elizabeth II, his 96-year-old mother.
The comments set off a firestorm in British newspapers, with the Daily Express warning the Prince of Wales: “Stay out of politics Charles!” The Mail on Sunday said: “We will not back down on Rwanda, Charles.’’
Johnson’s government shows no signs of changing course.
Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis, who represented the government on Britain’s Sunday morning TV programs, offered a robust defense of the plan, saying the British government wants to upend the business model of people smugglers.
“The reality is this is a policy that is going to deliver — to ensure that modern slavery and these people smugglers know that their criminal methods will be broken down,’’ he told Sky News.
More than 28,500 people entered Britain on small boats last year, up from 1,843 in 2019, according to government statistics. The risk of such crossings was made clear on Nov. 24, when 27 people died after their inflatable boat sank in the waters between Britain and France.
The Home Office, the agency that oversees border enforcement, launched its own defense of the policy on Sunday, posting comments from a Rwandan government spokesperson on social media.
“It’s about protecting and ensuring the wellbeing and development of both migrants and Rwandans in Rwanda,” the Rwandan spokesperson, Yolande Makolo, said.
A High Court judge in London on Friday rejected a request from opponents of the plan to block Britain's Rwanda asylum flights until the court had reached a decision on whether the program is illegal. The decision allows the flights to begin even as the broader legal challenge moves forward.
That ruling has been appealed to the Court of Appeal, which will hear the petition on Monday.
Government lawyer Mathew Gullick said Friday that 37 people were originally scheduled to be aboard Tuesday’s flight, but six had their deportation orders canceled. The government still intends to operate the flight, he said.
The government has not provided details of those selected for deportation, but refugee groups say they include people fleeing Syria and Afghanistan.
Rwanda is already home to tens of thousands of refugees. Competition for land and resources contributed to ethnic and political tensions that culminated in Rwanda’s 1994 genocide, in which more than 800,000 ethnic Tutsi and the moderate Hutu who tried to protect them were killed.
President Paul Kagame’s government has achieved significant economic progress since the genocide, but critics say it has come at the cost of strong political repression.
The United Nations’ refugee agency has opposed Britain’s plans, saying it's an effort to export the country’s legal obligations to provide asylum to those seeking a safe haven.
“People fleeing war, conflict and persecution deserve compassion and empathy,” said Gillian Triggs, UNHCR’s assistant high commissioner for protection. “They should not be traded like commodities and transferred abroad for processing.”

New Lakers coach Darvin Ham was blunt in his introductory press conference: How far the Lakers go next season will start with Anthony Davis.
“We’ve all seen what can happen when he’s healthy, when he’s playing at a high level, when he’s in a good rhythm,” Ham said. “We saw it in the bubble. His skill set, size, versatility, defensive acumen, his relentlessness. His ability to give multiple efforts defensively is key…. but we need consistency out of Anthony Davis. We need him to be healthy, we need him to be in a good mental space, and we need him to be as consistent as possible.”
On Friday, Davis was honest on the “Nuke Squad” YouTube vlog and said he hadn’t shot a basketball since April 5.

This isn’t a big deal. At all. Davis has said that after the season he takes four weeks off, then spends six weeks just working on weight training and health, then he gets back into basketball skills heading into the season.
Of course, that’s not how segments of Laker Twitter saw it after a season where Davis played in just 40 games and the Lakers missed the playoffs. Some fans think the only path to success is some kind of Kobe “I’m very public about the grind” way. That’s not the only path to success (ask Tim Duncan, whose resume stacks up nicely with Kobe’s).
As Ham said, what matters is Davis is healthy and in a good mental space, and time away from the grind of the game helps with that for a lot of players. Some players are built to take almost no time off, they can’t wait to get back to the grind, and others need to step away for a while and recharge so they can come back hard in the fall. What matters is Davis’ conditioning, health and focus when he shows up to training camp and the games get going in October.
Until then, everyone should chill. | https://nba.nbcsports.com/2022/06/12/anthony-davis-says-he-hasnt-shot-a-basketball-since-april-laker-twitter-handled-that-as-well-as-you-think/ | 2022-06-12T17:12:24Z | https://nba.nbcsports.com/2022/06/12/anthony-davis-says-he-hasnt-shot-a-basketball-since-april-laker-twitter-handled-that-as-well-as-you-think/ | true | 2 |
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
MONTAGNE: This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
STEVE INSKEEP, host:
And I'm Steve Inskeep.
President GEORGE W. BUSH: Terrorists and killers are not going to prevent me from going to Pakistan. My trip to Pakistan is an important trip.
INSKEEP: President Bush spoke this morning after a car bomb struck outside the U.S. Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan. The explosion killed a number of people, including at least one American. It happened two days before the president arrived in Pakistan as part of his tour of South Asia.
NPR's Don Gonyea is traveling with the president. And, Don, how did people respond to this attack?
DON GONYEA, reporting:
Well there was condemnation of the attack. The president, of course, has cultivated a partnership fighting terrorism with Pakistan's President Musharraf. And he really did make it clear, as we heard in that clip of tape you played, that he will not be changing his schedule. That he is still going to Pakistan. That's scheduled for Saturday, the last day of this trip. It's also worth noting here though that Karachi, where the bombing took place, is some 700 or so miles south of Islamabad where the president will be. But again, Pakistan is important for security reasons. There are reports that Osama Bin Laden and Mullah Omar the Taliban leader are hiding out in the mountains in the border there near Afghanistan. So symbolically, it's very important that the president get to Pakistan.
INSKEEP: A reminder that the U.S. has both allies and enemies in that country.
GONYEA: That's right, that's right and there are also reports that some of the insurgent and terrorist attacks that we're seeing in Afghanistan are being staged by al-Qaida and Taliban resistance based in Pakistan. So again, all of that will be on the docket when the president is there Saturday.
INSKEEP: NPR'S Don Gonyea is in New Delhi, India, where there is much news today. And Don, we'll come back to you in a moment.
MONTAGNE: And for more on that bombing, we're joined by Kamran Khan, a reporter based in Karachi. Hello.
KAMRAN KHAN reporting:
Hi there.
MONTAGNE: Could you please describe the scene for us there?
KHAN: The suicide bomber had entered from behind the portal(ph) Marriot in downtown Karachi and he was approaching the United States Consulate General building when he was intercepted by a security van. And he rammed his car into the security van and his car turned into a huge fireball and it engulfed about 18 cars around. And then the outer walls of a naval hospital, which is also in the vicinity, collapsed. So it's a scene of total destruction.
MONTAGNE: President Bush is not going actually anywhere near Karachi. He's going to the capital, Islamabad. What sort of reception is he likely to get when he arrives in Pakistan this Saturday?
KHAN: It is not going to be much different from any other country, particularly a Muslim country. You know, a U.S. president is not very, very welcome in Muslim countries. And, as you saw in India also, there were huge demonstrations. So the officials are very excited and they know it's very important and obviously, a lot of business community and intelligencia think this visit is important. But as you talk about general people, masses, particularly after this cartoon controversy, Bush or any western leader, they're not very, very popular here.
MONTAGNE: Let's get back, just briefly, to the question of Karachi. It is known to be something of a hotbed of militants.
KAHN: In fact, yes this was the case more so a few years ago, and then we saw a big crackdown and a continuous effort by the security agencies. Within the past two years, we didn't see a major terrorist incident as we saw before that.
Karachi is known for these terrorist acts. We had some spectacular terrorist incidents. The U.S. Consulate was bombed in June 2002, the Sheraton Hotel was bombed where French engineers were killed. These were the incidents; but all of those people who were involved in those incidents were actually caught and they're being punished.
But this is, as the officials say here, that they've not been able to root out each and every terrorist or militant element in the city. It's a city of 12 million people or so. So this has come again as a rude awakening for us.
MONTAGNE: Thank you very much for talking with us.
KHAN: Sure.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, California — Whistleblowers are detailing how California’s sanctuary state policy, shielding illegal aliens from arrest and deportation, is crucial to smugglers operating the billion-dollar enterprise for the Mexican drug cartels.
In October 2017, California joined a number of other blue states in designating itself a destination for illegal immigration by imposing a strict sanctuary state policy that bans local law enforcement from inquiring about the immigration status of suspects and cooperating with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.
Likewise, then-California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed into law the policy that allows illegal aliens to secure driver’s licenses in the state.
Whistleblowers close to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Breitbart News that California’s sanctuary state policy is a vital tool for smugglers working for the cartels who bring thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens to the United States-Mexico border every day.
For example, in cases where federal immigration officials are trying to track down smugglers and the illegal aliens they are smuggling, whistleblowers said California local police almost never intervene to help with arrests.
“California officers are not allowed to intervene ever,” a whistleblower said. “And the officers will literally say, ‘We wish we could help but we’re not allowed to.’ The smugglers know all of this.”
“If the illegal aliens have seatbelts on, the cops won’t call us to report smuggling. So long as they’re following state laws,” another whistleblower said. “The sheriffs cannot, by law, pick up migrants even if they had an ICE detainer after they finish their sentence, they’ll just let them loose.”
Such claims are overwhelmingly supported by county data in California.
Federal immigration officials revealed in 2019 that Los Angeles County, California release about 100 criminal illegal aliens from their local custody every day rather than turning them over to ICE agents for arrest and deportation.
“Today, because of the sanctuary policies that are in place, we receive less than five [criminal illegal aliens] which means — with all things being equal — there are 70 to 100 criminal aliens hitting the streets of Los Angeles, alone, that is one city within the United States,” former ICE official Timothy Robbins said in congressional testimony at the time.

The tiny Polaroid Go is lots of fun, but a little awkward
Moody colors and a double exposure feature cater to those with a fondness for old-school vibes.
This article was originally featured on Popular Photography.
Instant photos sure pack a nostalgic punch. Maybe it’s the tangible aspect of a real photo in your hands instead of one floating in the cloud. Maybe it’s the way the images come out just a little imperfect that adds to the charm. But whatever it is, there’s no denying that where there’s instant film, there is fun being had. And no company is more synonymous with instant photography than Polaroid.
With the release of Polaroid Go’s two new colorways, we decided to finally give this tiny camera a whirl for ourselves. In short: it’s definitely a delight. Pocketable and extremely portable; the design should appeal as much to the younger set as to those who grew up with the original. It creates prints in miniature (though personally, I find the colors leave something to be desired), and has a fun double exposure feature for the adventurous experimentalist.
Polaroid Go keys specs
- f/12 and f/52 apertures
- Focal length of 51.1mm
- Shutter speeds ranging from 1/250 to 1 second
- Automatic flash, can be disabled
- Viewfinder doubles as a selfie mirror
- Double exposure mode
- Self-timer, but no tripod mount
- LED frame counter window
- Compatible with Polaroid Go film, 8 shots per pack
- Pocket-sized
- Built-in battery with USB-C charging, 120 shots per charge
What’s new
In addition to the classic white, the Polaroid Go now comes in black and red models. In tandem with the release of the camera bodies, the company also debuted a set of lens filters in red, yellow, and blue, as well as a matte black-edge Go film.
Polaroid Go handling and design
As the world’s smallest instant camera at 4.1 inches long, 3.3 inches wide, and 2.4 inches tall, the Polaroid Go makes compact efficiency its middle name. With the camera in hand, all the buttons you’d need—shutter, flash, and power—are situated together on the right side while the viewfinder is on the left.
On the front of the camera, the lens sits center, flanked by the flash on the left and the viewfinder on the right—the latter doubles as a selfie mirror thanks to a reflective coating. Because of the compact nature, I sometimes found my finger obscuring the flash, but overall, I appreciated the size of the Go, which felt manageable. However, I do have fairly small hands, so I could see how the diminutive size of this camera could be a major point of frustration.
The camera’s shooting options are all controlled by the flash button. Press it twice in rapid succession to activate the double exposure mode. Activate or deactivate the self-timer by holding it down for two seconds. Hit it once to turn the flash on and again to turn it off. And that’s it. Everything else is automatic, so just press the shutter when you’re ready.
The entirety of the camera is basically plastic, which makes it incredibly light and easy to handle while still feeling solid. There’s nothing fragile about it, and it happily dangles from the included wrist strap for easy access. Essentially, the Go is the mini version of the Polaroid Now, but the layout and lens do allude to the extremely classic SX-70 Land Camera.
In use
Loading the film is self explanatory. Line up the arrows on the cartridge with those on the camera and drop it in, chunky end first. Unlike the larger cameras, which load from the front, the Polaroid Go has a little film hatch at the bottom. Do not peel off the tape on the cartridge; you’ll need it to pull it out after it’s empty.
To test the Go, I took it on a spin at my local botanical garden and also to a Waffle House (as one does in the South) to see how it’d do at night. I shot a mix of flash/no flash and a handful of double exposures (plus one selfie).
I admit that I was already smitten before the first picture, purely on the basis of its size. My current obsession is the pocket camera. And while the Go is indeed a portable dream, there are other features worth discussing, for better or worse.
Double exposure confusion
The camera has a nifty double exposure feature that’s activated by quickly hitting the flash button twice. Once in this mode, the frame counter will flash “1” indicating it’s time for the first shot. Tap the shutter and the counter will flash “2”; hit it again, and voilà, your double exposure ejects out.
While this feature is fun, it can at times be confusing, specifically when there’s a delay between the first and second exposure. For example, I wanted to do an overlay of flowers at the botanical garden with my typewriter at home. So, I put my camera in double exposure mode, took a photo of the typewriter, and turned it off. According to Polaroid, the camera will “remember” you’re in double exposure mode, so when you arrive at your next location and turn it on, you can make the second photo.
However, this is where things got tricky. After I arrived at the gardens and turned on the camera, the film counter no longer showed I was in double exposure mode. This made things confusing. Did I lose the picture of my typewriter? Did I need to put the camera back in double exposure mode for it to work? I tried that, but the counter started at “1” again, so I took it out of double exposure mode, took a picture of some roses, and waited to see what would happen. As it turns out, you don’t need to put the Go back in double exposure mode for that second shot. My final image was my typewriter/flower overlay as planned.
Remember to turn off the flash…
As far as flash is concerned, I preferred to keep it off in broad daylight. But, it perfectly delivers the harsh ‘90s candid vibe, if that is what you’re after. However, one thing that frustrated me—particularly with double exposures—is that the flash is automatically activated. This meant I had to remember to disable it each time I went to take a new shot. I’m forgetful and thus ended up firing it a few more times than I had planned.
A flimsy film shield
Like the other Polaroid cameras, you only get eight shots per pack of film, which is fine. What I did find odd (and somewhat counterintuitive to the whole ‘instant’ promise) was the awkward film shield that rolls out on top of the photo after it’s printed, as well as the necessity to wait five seconds before pulling the print out of the slot. The film shield is just a thin sheet of dark gray plastic that rolls out with the picture to protect it from light. Though you are supposed to let the Polaroid develop in the dark, other instant cameras I’ve used do not require such a feature. You simply stuff the picture in your pocket as fast as possible. I’m not particularly fond of the shield as it felt that I might accidentally bend it.
Finally, while I love the compactness of this camera, I did have a couple of scares, including nearly wasting a precious sheet of already scarce film by accidentally pushing the shutter button. Since I’m right handed, I would always reach for the camera with that hand, but the shutter is also on the right side. It doesn’t help that I’m also notorious for forgetting to turn off any camera—I have had plenty of “what is that?” shots in the past.
Polaroid Go Image quality
Objectively, I would describe the Polaroid Go image colors as moody ‘90s nostalgia with exuberant sepia undertones. With or without flash, there’s a hazy imperfection that lends a certain charm. Am I head-over-heels? Not exactly, but in a way that is more so personal taste than quality.
Compared to photographs I have made with the Polaroid One Step and the Fujifilm Instax Wide, the latter two produce cleaner, brighter images. I tend to favor this in my work. However, the Polaroid Go is a vibe—I see many people shoot their film (instant or not) this way, so it’s by no means bad.
Compared to…
Polaroid’s main competitor in the instant space is Fujifilm, which offers a fine line of products, too, and at a slightly (emphasis on slightly) lower price point. Cameras like the Fujifilm SQ1 will also produce a square image, and you can snag a pack of 20 frames at a little less than $1 each on Amazon. Meanwhile, 16 Go photos will cost you about $20.
That being said, the Polaroid Go is a solid choice if you value a compact design, as the Fujifilm options are a lot bigger. It also comes down to your stylistic choice and how you want your colors to turn out. The Go flash covers up to two meters (6.56 feet), while Fujifilm claims that its flash on the SQ 1 is effective up to 7.2 feet.
Overall, the Go rides on a retro reputation
Overall, the Polaroid Go really appeals to those who love the brand and what it’s represented over the years. From the retro, reminiscent design to the vintage cast in the film, it’s definitely something that’ll bring back (and preserve) memories, new and old.
However, the price of the film and hiccups in user experience design leave a little bit to be desired. And with the price of film these days, saving a few pennies never hurts. It ultimately comes down to your personal artistic preferences, which should then dictate the system you buy into.
Pros
- Fits easily in a small bag or pocket
- Can be operated by one (small) hand without much trouble
- Flash can be disabled
- Double exposure mode creates the potential for cool shots
- Self-timer mode is handy for more complex selfies
Cons
- Polaroid Go film is more expensive than the competition
- Double exposure mode is confusing if you turn off the camera between shots
- Colors are muddier/moodier than the competition (this is subjective taste)
- The film shield is a little awkward/flimsy, and so is waiting five seconds before pulling out the picture
- Flash cannot be permanently disabled; you must remember to turn it off for each shot | https://www.popsci.com/gear/the-tiny-polaroid-go-is-lots-of-fun-but-a-little-awkward/ | 2022-06-12T17:23:56Z | https://www.popsci.com/gear/the-tiny-polaroid-go-is-lots-of-fun-but-a-little-awkward/ | false | 2 |
McDonald’s has reopened in Russia under a new “tasty” name with a transformed logo, as Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine continues.
Today, fifteen branches in and around Moscow reopened its doors under new ownership with the new name ‘Vkusno & tochka’ which translates as “Tasty and that’s it”.
Alongside the new name, the restaurants received a brand new logo from its new Russian owner which features a circle with two lines depicting a burger and French fries.
This came after the fast food giant followed the exodus of western countries leaving Russia after its invasion of Ukraine, before it was taken over.
Businessman Alexander Govor, who already owned 25 restaurants in Siberia, agreed to buy out every single one of Russia’s 847 McDonald outlets after the chain pulled out.
Under new ownership, he promised to keep all of the 62,000 employees on equivalent terms for at least two years.
Huge queues turned out today at the flagship store in Moscow, the first to open in Russia 30 years ago.
Policeman patrolled the bustling crowds while families inside dug into their meals, the Daily Telegraph reported.
Reuters were told that the equipment and burger ingredients used were identical to that which McDonald used.
But it isn't clear if the recipes are the same.
In a sign of how fast the new owners were trying to reopen, the packaging for much of the food was plain white, and drinks cups and takeaway bags were plain brown.
The old McDonald's logo on packets of ketchup and other sauces were covered up with black markings.
Chief executive Oleg Paroev said: "Our goal is that our guests do not notice a difference either in quality or ambience," Sky News reported.
Instead of tucking into a Big Mac, guests enjoyed the alternative 'Grandee' or 'Chicken Premier' or the 'Fish burger'.
But not everyone was loving it and one man was kicked out the press conference after he held up a sign saying: "Bring back the Big Mac."
Mr Paroev went on to say that prices would remain “affordable” amid unstable economic times in Russia.
But he could not guarantee that prices wouldn’t rise in the near future.
The owner is still in search of a soft drinks supplier after Coca-Cola left Russia earlier this year.
The Daily Mail reported diner Sergei, 15, said: "The cola is different, but there really is no change to the burger.
"The taste has stayed the same."
As things stand, around 200 branches will reopen by the end of June, and all 847 by the end of summer, the boss has claimed.
It is reported that this reopening could be used as a litmus test for whether Russia’s economy can stand resilient against western sanctions.
When the first ever McDonald’s outlet opened in Moscow three decades ago it was seen as symbolic of thawing relations between the then USSR and the west.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Tommy Edman hit a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning for the first walkoff RBI of his major league career, lifting the St. Louis Cardinals over Cincinnati 5-4 on Saturday in yet another Reds bullpen collapse.
“Off the bat, I honestly didn’t think it was going to get out,” Edman said. “I was a little surprised when I saw it bounce in the bullpen, but obviously super-excited when I saw it finally get over the wall.”
Paul Goldschmidt’s streak of reaching base ended at 46 games with an 0-for-4 day for the NL Central-leading Cardinals.
St. Louis pitcher Adam Wainwright and catcher Yadier Molina made their 316th start together, tying the Boston and Milwaukee Braves’ Warren Spahn and Del Crandall for second-most behind the 324 of Detroit’s Mickey Lolich and Bill Freehan.
Wainwright, 40, was matched up against Cincinnati’s 22-year-old Hunter Greene.
Cincinnati led 4-1 in the eighth inning but blew a save for the seventh time in 17 chances, and the Cardinals won despite getting outhit 12-7.
“Guys competed so well, put us in a great position to win the game,” Reds manager David Bell said. “Really, our bullpen did a nice job to get us into that situation. I know it doesn’t always come down to one play, but certainly you feel responsible when you have a decision like that to make.”
Tyler O’Neill, who had three RBIs, hit a two-run double off Hunter Strickland that pulled St. Louis to 4-3 in the eighth.
Joel Kuhnel (0-1), a 27-year-old rookie right-hander, walked Dylan Carlson leading off the ninth but got Molina to ground into a double play.
Juan Yepez singled and Edman reached down for a slider at the knees, driving the ball to right-center for his sixth home run and giving the Cardinals their third walkoff win this season.
“I really enjoyed it,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said. “He took a good swing right there. We did have some opportunities, came up short a couple times, but kept taking our shot. It’s part of the game. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn’t. Heck of a swing by Tommy.”
St. Louis (34-26) won the first two games of the three-game series and sent the NL-worst Reds (20-39) to their fourth straight loss and seventh defeat in nine games. The Cardinals have won 14 of their last 22.
Nick Wittgren (1-0) pitched a one-hit ninth for his first win with St. Louis.
Wainwright allowed three runs and eight hits in seven innings.
Greene gave up one run, two hits and two walks with seven strikeouts before being pulled after allowing the first two batters to reach base in the sixth. He topped 100 mph with five pitches and averaged 98.7 mph with his fastball.
“He’s doing a nice job of adapting as the start goes and adjusting to the hitters as they adjust to him,” Bell said. “We’ve seen that really most of the season now. It continues to be impressive.”
Tommy Pham put the Reds ahead with a two-run double in the third off Wainwright, his former teammate, and scored on Kyle Farmer’s single for a 3-0 lead.
O’Neill hit a sacrifice fly in the sixth and Alejo López, who had replaced an injured Colin Moran, hit an RBI single off Drew VerHagen in the eighth for a 4-1 lead.
BENCHED
Cardinals CF Harrison Bader was removed after six innings for what Marmol said was lack of hustle.
“I had a great conversation with him. He respected it,” Marmol said. “There’s expectations when it comes to effort. It wasn’t met today. He’ll be back in tomorrow.”
Marmol did not specify any play.
“We’ll handle it internally but he understood it, he respected it, and he’ll be back in there tomorrow,” the manager said.
MOVES
Cincinnati claimed OF Stuart Fairchild off waivers from San Francisco and optioned him to Triple-A Louisville. RHP James Marinan was designated for assignment.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Reds: Moran left in the bottom of the seventh after getting tangled with Dylan Carlson on a tag at first. Moran veered into Carlson’s path trying to field an errant throw from second baseman Matt Reynolds. “Just kind of a blow to the back, more of almost a whiplash type of action,” Bell said. “He’s okay. He’s going to be fine but obviously we’ll keep a close eye on it.”
Cardinals: LHP Steven Matz (left shoulder impingement) threw long toss in the outfield prior to the game. “He’s still feeling a little bit of that discomfort in the impingement,” Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said. “Until you get past that hurdle, you’re not really cleared to take that next step forward. I know he’s going to be reassessed by our medical staff and, hopefully, he’s able to resolve that.”
UP NEXT
RHP Dakota Hudson (4-2, 2.76 ERA) is 6-0 against Cincinnati going into Sunday’s start, joining David Weathers (8-0) as the only pitchers since 1901 with at least six decisions against the Reds and a perfect winning percentage. RHP Graham Ashcraft (3-0, 1.14 ERA) will be making his fifth career start in Sunday’s series finale.

How is Father’s Day celebrated around the planet? We find out and reveal all
Father’s Day (June 19 in UK in 2022) is celebrated worldwide to recognise the contribution that fathers and father figures make to the lives of their children.
It is a day that recognises the vital contribution that dad’s make around the world and celebrates fatherhood and male parenting.
Although it is celebrated on a variety of dates around the globe, many countries observe this day on the third Sunday in June.
The third Sunday in June is the day when dad’s are thanked in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States and also in Austria and Belgium.
Differing dates to celebrate Father's Day
But there are differing dates for this celebration in other countries. For example, in Fiji, New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand Father’s Day is on the first Sunday in September.
In Thailand it is celebrated on December 5, which is the birthday of the country’s king. And in South America, Brazilian dads are celebrated on the second Sunday of August, the same date as for fathers in Samoa.
Where is Father's Day celebrated in the world?
Father’s day is universal and is also celebrated in countries including Argentina, Canada, France, Greece, India, Ireland, Mexico, Pakistan, Singapore, South Africa, and Venezuela.
In the Catholic countries of Spain, Italy and Portugal, Father’s Day is celebrated on March 19.March 19 in these countries is the Feast of Saint Joseph who is the patron saint of fathers.
Meanwhile, in Germany, Father’s Day is celebrated on the same May 13 date as Ascension Day.
Father's Day origins
Across Scandinavia, the tradition of a Father’s Day was adopted in the 1930s.
Originally the American date was used to celebrate Father’s Day, but in 1949 the Scandinavian countries
Finland, Norway, and Sweden along with Estonia and Iceland decided to move it to the second Sunday in November.
The reason for the change was partly to place it six months distance from Mother’s Day but it was also chosen on this date to increase retail sales in a period of relative quiet leading up to Christmas.
Reason Scandinavia didn't fall in line
The only Scandinavian country who didn’t fall in line with this date was Denmark.
They forgot to inform the public and did not implement the date change so Father’s Day remained on the same day as their other early June holiday, Constitution Day.
In Taiwan Father’s Day is celebrated on August 8 as the Chinese for eight is ‘ba’ while a colloquial word for father is ‘ba-ba’ – so the eighth day of the eighth month sounds similar to their ‘daddy’.
This was also the date for Father’s day in China, but the date was later moved to the third Sunday in June, which is a western tradition.
But what do people around the world gift or do on Father’s Day?
What do we do on Father's Day?
Some people visit their fathers, which for many was not possible during lockdown, others give cards, flowers or other gifts. When all is said and done Father’s Day is a relatively modern holiday, so different families have different traditions.
Some make a simple phone call, others speak to their dad by zoom call, a greetings card may be given or some families hold a party for their dad.
Father figures include fathers, step-fathers, fathers-in-law, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, even male relatives.
Father’s Day in India is relatively new but is celebrated similarly to United Kingdom or United States. In Mexico Father’s Day is known as “Día del Padre”, where many families get together, prepare meals and distribute gifts to fathers or father figures.
In South Africa, many social and cultural societies host Father’s Day celebrations. | https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/read-this/global-fathers-day-celebrations-celebration-of-fathers-day-around-the-world-3728741 | 2022-06-12T18:00:25Z | https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/read-this/global-fathers-day-celebrations-celebration-of-fathers-day-around-the-world-3728741 | false | 22 |
Travelers hoping to find airfare bargains this summer are likely to be disappointed, according to industry analysts. Faced with expanded competition, many airlines haven't been charging enough to break even. But as fuel costs have risen, so have ticket prices -- by 10 percent or more.

MELISSA BLOCK, host:
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Melissa Block.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
And I'm Robert Siegel.
There's been a good deal of talk about a shake-up at the White House but so far the changes in the administration's lineup have been pretty small. To date, the president picked trade representative Rob Portman as his new budget director. Portman takes the job vacated by the new Chief of Staff, Joshua Bolten. Replacing Portman as the nation's top trade negotiator will be his deputy, Susan Schwab. Chief of Staff Bolten is said to be considering more personnel moves among top staff, but today, the most talked about member of the administration, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, got another endorsement from the president.
NPR's Don Gonyea reports from the White House.
DON GONYEA reporting:
Change is in the air at the White House with each new day bringing new speculation about the fate of cabinet members and top presidential aides. Today, however, there were no big surprises. The president used a rose garden event to nominate former Ohio Congressman, long-time Bush ally and current U.S. trade rep, Rob Portman, as director of the office of management and budget.
President GEORGE W. BUSH: As director of O&B, Rob will have a leading role on my economic team. He will be part of a daily senior staff meetings led by Josh Bolten.
GONYEA: In his new job, Portman will also play a role in trying to smooth, what has been at times, a difficult relationship with Republicans in Congress.
Mr. ROB PORTMAN (Director, Office of Management and Budget): I'm particularly happy in this new position, I'll continue to work closely with my former colleagues in Congress whose feedback, collaboration and friendship I highly value.
GONYEA: Portman said the president's economic policies have led to a growing U.S. economy and he said tax cuts enacted in the first term should be made permanent. His appointment, which still needs Senate approval, is being praised by Republicans, but Democrats used the occasion to point out the record deficits accrued since Mr. Bush took office and to predict Portman won't be turning that around.
After introducing Portman and the new trade rep who replaces him, Susan Schwab, the president said he'd take a couple of questions. The focus quickly turned to the possibility of more changes among senior staff. Mr. Bush was asked if Bolten will be seeking resignations. The president, while not denying that more change is coming, dismissed such talk as speculation over a game of musical chairs.
President BUSH: But I also understand what happens in Washington, you know, little flicker of gossip starts moving hard and people jump all over it. Now, the thing the American people got to know is we'll structure this White House so that it continues to function to deal with major problems.
GONYEA: When pressed, the president's patience seemed strained.
Unidentified Reporter: (unintelligible)
President BUSH: You don't understand why. Because we've got people's reputations at stake. And on Friday, I stood up and said I don't appreciate the speculation about Don Rumsfeld. He's doing a fine job. I strongly support him.
GONYEA: It was the president who brought up Rumsfeld's name, seeming to look for an opportunity to put to rest talk that Rumsfeld should go.
President BUSH: I have strong confidence in Don Rumsfeld. I hear the voices and I read the front page and I know the speculation. But I'm the decider and I decide what is best and what's best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the secretary of defense. I want to thank you all very much.
GONYEA: With that, the president brought a quick end to the brief question and answer session, if not to the speculation.

City has enough water to last till July 30
Mumbai Mumbai has an overall stock of 1,93,407 million litres or 13.36 per cent of the total capacity of 14,47,363 million litres in all its seven lakes that supply water to the city on June 12.
Senior officials of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) hydraulics department said that the current water stock will be sufficient till July 30.
Mumbai draws its water supply from seven different lakes which includes the Bhatsa, Middle Vaitarna, Upper Vaitarna, Tansa and Modak Sagar - in Thane district and the Tulsi and Vehar lakes that are located within the city limits at the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP). The total water stock of the city is calculated by observing the present quantity of water available in each of these lakes.
Meanwhile, the BMC data also shows that the city’s current stock this year is higher than the last two years’. Earlier in 2021, the water stock in Mumbai was around 12.85 per cent on June 12, while in 2020, it was around 12.96 per cent on the same day.
“The stocks are adequate in all the seven lakes of the city. This year, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has already predicted good rains so we are optimistic that the lakes will be brimming by the end of monsoon and citizens will not face any water cuts,” said a senior official from the department.
Out of all seven lakes, Modak Sagar currently has 37 per cent of useful content, followed by 28 per cent in Tulsi and 18 per cent in Middle Vaitarna. The Vehar Lake has 14 per cent stock left, while the Bhatsa has 13 per cent of its stock left. The Tansa lake has a stock of 6 per cent.
Meanwhile, the BMC has marked the quantity of water stock in Upper Vaitarna as zero as the overall capacity of the lake has fallen to the minimum water level.
Out of these seven lakes, the Bhatsa supplies 55 per cent of the total water in Mumbai. The seven lakes have been bifurcated into two channels out of which, four lakes supply water to the western suburbs and island city while three lakes supply water to the eastern suburbs.
“Last year, the maximum rainfall happened between July 15 and 25 during which most of the catchment areas got filled up within a short span of time. The Tansa, Tulsi, Modak Sagar and Vehar lakes had also overflowed twice last year. This year also we are optimistic about good rainfall so it’s too early to say anything about future water cut plans. We will have to wait at least till the end of September,” said the official.
The BMC supplies 3,850 million litres of water daily (MLD) against its overall demand of 4,200 MLDs. The civic body also inaugurated its ambitious ‘Water for all’ policy earlier this year, with an aim to supply water to the unmapped housing locations of the city. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-news/city-has-enough-water-to-last-till-july-30-101655051336333-amp.html | 2022-06-12T18:19:35Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-news/city-has-enough-water-to-last-till-july-30-101655051336333-amp.html | true | 1 |

RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
And if you're wondering what you can do about the price of gas, there's an e-mail going around that claims to have the solution. It's a chain letter that suggests that if enough people stop buying gas from ExxonMobil, they can force the company to lower its price. And the e-mail says that will start a price war that will force other oil companies to drop their prices and bring the price of a gallon of gas down to as low as $1.30.
So, would it work? We called a man who has an opinion on that.
Tim Haab teaches environmental economics at Ohio State University, and co-writes a blog designed to be a lively exchange on the economics of environmental issues. He joins us now. Good morning.
Professor TIM HAAB (Professor of Environmental Economics, Ohio State University): Good morning.
MONTAGNE: Well, let's just start with the question at hand. Would a boycott of ExxonMobil Gas Stations really force that company to lower their gas prices?
Prof. HAAB: Well, I have two answers. The first answer is, well, both of the answers are no, but I have them for two different reasons. The first answer is that the boycott simply won't work because we don't have the social coordination necessary to get enough people to boycott any single gas station.
MONTAGNE: Okay, okay, but let's just take it as it's--at its premise.
Prof. HAAB: Okay.
MONTAGNE: What if the boycott worked?
Prof. HAAB: Okay.
MONTAGNE: People really stopped buying.
Prof. HAAB: That's my second answer.
MONTAGNE: Which is no.
(Soundbite of laughter)
Prof. HAAB: The boycott simply won't work because, well, imagine that Exxon has a ten to 15 percent market share. The question that comes up is what would happen to those to ten to 15 percent of the people that buy from Exxon? The answer is they'll go somewhere else. Well, basic economics tells us that when you have a ten to 15 percent increase at another gas station, the price is actually going to go up at that gas station.
MONTAGNE: So, I mean, basically Mobil wouldn't drop its price so much, you're saying, as customers will go to other gas stations and then they'll up their prices?
Prof. HAAB: That's correct.
MONTAGNE: Huh. But in a way, you know, logically, why wouldn't ExxonMobil, all in theory of course, just because of the e-mail...
Prof. HAAB: Right.
MONTAGNE: ...why wouldn't ExxonMobil drop its prices, and why wouldn't that start a war? A price war?
Prof. HAAB: Well, I mean, it may drop its prices a little bit, but that would attract some of those customers back, because consumers are--drivers are fairly responsive to small changes in price.
Imagine a four-corner gas station where you--an intersection where you have four gas stations on the corner. In that case, if one of the gas stations dropped their price by, say, five cents or ten cents, everyone would go to that gas station.
And so, if Exxon were to drop their price a little bit, they would draw some of their customers back, which would drive prices back up at that Exxon Station, back up to what they were before.
MONTAGNE: Ah, so people wouldn't stick with the boycott.
Prof. HAAB: That's correct.
MONTAGNE: Even in their best interest, in theory, if this was in their best interest?
Prof. HAAB: That's correct.
MONTAGNE: So this has been going around in e-mails.
Prof. HAAB: Right.
MONTAGNE: A chain letter. But that aside, is there anything consumers can do, realistically, individually or in groups, to bring down gas prices?
Prof. HAAB: Yes. Drive less.
(Soundbite of laughter)
MONTAGNE: All right.
Prof. HAAB: Okay.
MONTAGNE: Sounds good. In theory.
Prof. HAAB: Right.
MONTAGNE: Tim Haab is associate professor of environmental economics at the Ohio State University. Thanks very much.
Prof. HAAB: All right. Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR. | https://www.hppr.org/2006-04-25/e-mail-suggests-boycott-to-lower-gas-prices | 2022-06-12T18:24:25Z | https://www.hppr.org/2006-04-25/e-mail-suggests-boycott-to-lower-gas-prices | false | 5 |

Celebrity chef Nick DiGiovanni from the USA and Lynn Davis from Japan have created another world record. This time they have cooked the biggest chicken nugget in the world. Earlier, the duo had baked the largest cake pop in the world weighing 44.24 kg.
On Saturday, Nick DiGiovanni posted a YouTube video that showed him along with Lynn (popularly known as Lynja) cooking a large 20.960-kg chicken nugget.
The duo first used 40 slices of bread and mashed them in half a gallon of milk. They then whisked 40 eggs and went on to season 18 kg of ground chicken with spices. They then mixed the whisked eggs, milk-soaked bread, and seasoned ground chicken together.
The two chefs then added the chicken nugget mix in a specially made contraption and coated it with beaten eggs and breadcrumbs using paint brushes. Finally, the mix was cooked in a commercial oven.
Best of Express Premium
Halfway through the cooking, the baked chicken nugget was pulled out so that it can be coated once more with breadcrumb mix before it is cooked again.
Finally, when the chicken nugget was cooked, it was weighed and inspected by Guinness World Records Adjudicator Claire Stephens, who then announced it as the world’s largest chicken nugget.
DiGiovanni’s cooking tutorial of the massive chicken nugget got over 7.6 lakh views in less than 24 hours.
Commenting on the video, a YouTube user wrote, “These two are going to claim all the records for largest food at this rate! I love all the videos where Nick and Lynja collaborate, they always make my day ”

Which anti-fatigue kitchen mat is best?
Whether you find kitchen chores relaxing or dread them, standing on your feet long enough to cook every meal or wash every dish can take a toll on your body. An anti-fatigue kitchen mat is an easy way to lessen the strain on your body from daily chores.
Because the surface of the mat is flexible, your leg muscles contract lightly to keep you balanced, keeping your leg muscles active, which keeps your blood flowing as you stand for long periods. There are a lot of different anti-fatigue kitchen mats available, so it is important to consider the options to find the perfect mat to give you the most relief. The Kangaroo Anti Fatigue Cushioned Floor Mat is a top choice that’s perfect for hours of standing.
What to know before you buy an anti-fatigue kitchen mat
Design
Anti-fatigue mats actually come in a few different designs, though the flat ones are by far the most common.
Flat anti-fatigue mats are the standard, as they are inexpensive to make and comfortable to stand on. A perfect entry-level choice, these mats are rectangular, flat all over and usually 1-2 inches thick. Many have beveled edges for a smoother transition to the floor.
Non-flat active mats are similar to flat mats, but they have bumps or ridges throughout the surface. They are also available in different shapes. These mats have a unique texture that provides extra relief from fatigue by encouraging you to shift your feet more, which helps with circulation.
Full active mats are less common than the other types, but they can be very effective at relieving the fatigue of standing all day. These mats typically feature some kind of movable part, such as a massage ball that you move around a track with your feet, which encourages you to keep moving. Full active mats can be a little odd aesthetically, but they certainly work.
Material
The material that your anti-fatigue kitchen mat is constructed with has a significant impact on how comfortable it is to stand on. It is common to see anti-fatigue mats made from foam, foam rubber, hard rubber, and gel, with benefits and disadvantages to each.
Foam is the most inexpensive material used for anti-fatigue mats, making it fairly common with cheaper models. It isn’t particularly durable and it doesn’t provide a lot of cushion, but if you only stand for short periods at a time, it should do the trick.
Foam rubber refers to a mat that has a foam core and a rubber coating. These mats have the benefit of being constructed from affordable foam, as well as the durability and cushion provided by the rubber coating.
Hard rubber is the most durable material used for kitchen mats, as it holds up very well even with repeated use. However, thard rubber isn’t the most comfortable material, so mats made from this don’t prevent fatigue as much as foam rubber and gel options.
Gel is the most comfortable material used for kitchen mats, making it the most effective for preventing fatigue.
What to look for in a quality anti-fatigue kitchen mat
Size
What size mat you need is largely dependent on the space you have in your kitchen. In general, a bigger mat means more relief. Standard anti-fatigue kitchen mats are usually 2-by-3 feet or 3-by-5 feet, though larger options are available for warehouse or industrial conditions.
Thickness
Thickness is the main contributing factor to the comfort of a kitchen mat, as well as its effectiveness at preventing fatigue. The vast majority of mats will be between 1/2 inch thick and 1 inch thick, though there are even thicker options. In general, you should look for a mat that is at least 3/4 inch thick for proper cushioning.
Nonslip underside
Some mats will have a textured underside designed to keep it from sliding around on the floor. This is especially helpful in the kitchen, where water from dishes can easily get on the floor and cause things to slide around.
Beveled edge
Particularly if you choose a flat anti-fatigue kitchen mat, keep an eye out for models with beveled edges. The slope downward around the edges helps the mat to stick on the floor, rather than rolling up, as well as diminishing the chances of tripping over the edge of the mat.
Ease of cleaning
Your mat will get dirty over time, so it’s a good idea to be aware of how easy it is to clean before making a purchase. For convenience, opt for a model that will be easily wiped off with soap and water, rather than models that require more delicate cleaning processes.
Anti-fatigue kitchen mat prices
Unless you’re opting for a very large mat of 6 feet or longer, you shouldn’t have to pay more than $100. Any mats less than $30 or so are probably made cheaply and won’t be as durable or effective as other models. If you need a large kitchen mat, you can expect to pay between $200-$500 for foot mats 6-12 feet long and $500-$1,000 for ones 12-60 feet long. For most households, a reliable and effective anti-fatigue mat should cost between $40-$90.
Anti-fatigue kitchen mat FAQ
How long does an anti-fatigue kitchen mat last?
A. As with most things, longevity will depend on the quality. In general, kitchen mats last one to four years. Purchasing a thick, quality mat and taking good care of it is the best way to get years of use out of it.
Should you wear shoes on the anti-fatigue kitchen mat?
A. If you have cushioned shoes, they can provide an extra level of comfort on your kitchen mat. However, be sure that you don’t wear shoes with high heels or other protrusions on the bottom, as they can damage the mat. If your shoes have flat bottoms, it’s really up to you.

Thompson run ends in Nottingham final
Australian Jordan Thompson has been brought down to earth after a brilliant fortnight, falling short in his bid to win a second grass-court tournament in eight days in the Nottingham Open final.
The Sydneysider had been in searing form, winning nine matches in a row while lifting last week's Surbiton Trophy and then powering into another high-quality Challenger final on Sunday in the build-up to Wimbledon.
But up against his British friend Dan Evans, 'Tommo' felt he was given a "reality check" at the end of his exceptional fortnight as he was defeated 6-4 6-4 in a final that never felt quite as comprehensive as the scoreline looked.
But Thompson had no excuses after one of the best runs of his career, saying the British No.2 Evans, who was winning the title for the second time in three years, was just "too good".
"I've had a couple of great weeks on the grass, taking the title in Surbiton last week and a runner's up trophy today, so couldn't be happier with the form," said the 28-year-old, who'll shoot back up to No.70 in the world after his excellent fortnight.
"Could have gone a little bit better today but you can't be too greedy. Well done to Dan, he played a great match and plays great on the grass. An extremely tough match, it was a bit of a reality check today - too good."
Evans smiled: "It's not easy playing a good friend, it's nice to see Tommo in another final - but I couldn't let him win two back-to-back because I'd hear too much about it!"
Though nominally these are just Challenger events, a rung down from the main ATP Tour tournaments, they attract particularly high-quality fields at this stage of the season with players keen to get a serious tune-up on the grass for Wimbledon, which begins in a fortnight.
"These grass-court Challengers are extremely tough; last week we had Andy Murray playing and I was lucky to sneak a seeding," said Thompson.
"I'm top 100, there are quality players throughout the draw. Fernando Verdasco was in the draw this week, and he didn't even make it past the second round."
Reckoning that "playing on the green stuff, it's better than clay", Thompson hadn't lost the first set of any of his nine matches since he got hammered by eventual champion Rafael Nadal in the first round of the French Open.
But Evans put paid to that statistic in a combative first set in awkward, blustery conditions which swung the Briton's way at 3-3 when Thompson, already rattled by having just been foot-faulted for a second time, put a backhand wide to get broken.
The Australian chucked his racquet down in disgust, got a code violation from the umpire and muttered about a line official being "hopeless" before going on to lose the set.
Again, Thompson had his chances in the second stanza but after failing to grab his break point opportunity in the opening game, got broken to love by Evans and was playing catch-up from that point before finally losing in an hour and 50 minutes.

Newcastle United's search for a top class defender has seen them linked with Roma centre-back Roger Ibanez as they look to improve their squad ahead of the new Premier League season.
Reports from Italian outlet Calciomercato state both Newcastle and Tottenham are interested in the Brazilian defender who Roma boss Jose Mourinho rates highly.
A fee of around £30m has been mooted as a potential first offer to test Roma's resolve for Ibanez who impressed last season.
The Brazilian made 51 appearances in all competitions last season including 15 in Europe for Roma.

A classy operator capable of playing in a back four or back three, the 23-year-old was instrumental in helping Roma win the inaugural Europa Conference League too, which saw Mourinho's side claim a 1-0 win over Feyenoord.
Both Newcastle and Spurs are said to be keen on improving their defensive options for next season. However, Ibanez has a release fee clause of £80m, which could see both sides priced out of a move for the centre-back.
A move to Tyneside would see Newcastle's Brazilian duo become a trio with Ibanez linking up with compatriots Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton.
Newcastle are also still pursuing Lille defender Sven Botman too. It is likely that Newcastle would only sign one of Botman and Ibanez due to the big outlays both would cost. | https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/who-newcastle-united-linked-defender-24202365 | 2022-06-12T18:38:36Z | https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/who-newcastle-united-linked-defender-24202365 | true | 1 |
Shivraj Chouhan on woman who fought goons, harassment: 'Salute her courage'
Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday met a woman in Bhopal who was attacked with a blade after she was harassed by some goons. The woman, however, fought back, the chief minister said after meeting her, underlining, "She has set an example for others". The state government has announced a compensation of ₹1 lakh.
After a visit to her home in the state capital, Chouhan spoke to reporters: "I came to meet her after she bravely fought some goons and even slapped them. Earlier, they ran on looking at the crowds but then, when she was going with her husband, they attacked her with a blade. It makes me sad and angry at the same time."
Assuring strict action against the attackers, he added: "We will ensure maximum punishment for the accused. They will be arrested soon. But I salute the Seema ji's courage. She wasn't silent when she was targeted and demonstrated bravery."
Plastic surgeons and doctors will give an update on how she can be helped, the chief minister further added, underling that the state will give her ₹1 lakh for her bravery. "We should not bear injustice. We should fight against it. She has become a role model with this. We will make sure that her children get admitted in a nearby school." The woman's husband is a labourer, he said.
In one of the tweets, with photos and videos of the visit, the chief minister further shared that she "confronted courageously on facing objectionable actions of the miscreants." "Fighting injustice is an act of inspiration for other people, in this way sister she is also an inspiration for other women. His son and daughter study and necessary instructions have been given to collector Bhopal for their cooperation," he said. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/shivraj-chouhan-on-woman-who-fought-goons-harassment-salute-her-courage-101655019444362.html | 2022-06-12T18:40:04Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/shivraj-chouhan-on-woman-who-fought-goons-harassment-salute-her-courage-101655019444362.html | true | 2 |
