Zacarias Moussaoui will be sentenced to life in prison, later today, for his role in the 9/11 attacks. After a long trial, the jury decided to spare his life. For two months, family members of 9/11 victims watched the trial--some inside the courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, others watched by close-circuit TV, in special rooms set up for them in Boston, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
During the second phase of the trial, victims' families played an important role, testifying for both the defense and the prosecution. And those divisions remained when they learned about the jury's decision.
NPR's Laura Sullivan reports.
LAURA SULLIVAN reporting:
Robert Alonzo was stunned when he learned Moussaoui was going to live.
Mr. Robert Alonzo (Husband of 9/11 victim): I was pissed. He deserves death. He's a murderer.
SULLIVAN: Alonzo lost his wife in the first tower of the World Trade Center. He often thinks about the last time he talked to her, as the smoke took over her office on the 97th floor.
Mr. ALONZO: I was trying to reassure her, that my (unintelligible) you know, console her, make sure everyone was okay, and to be with somebody. And I told her that, you know, the kids loved her and I loved her, and I was coming down to get her.
SULLIVAN: Yesterday, driving home from school with his two children, Alonzo said he wanted this trial to end differently.
Mr. ALONZO: I want revenge. You know, I want revenge. And I won't get that because these guys hide in the caves and mountains. And today was an opportunity for me to get justice, and it wasn't served.
Ms. CARIE LAMACK (Daughter 9/11 victim): There were a lot of family members who wanted to see Zacarias Moussaoui die. But there are a lot of family members who did not.
SULLIVAN: Carie Lamack lost her mother aboard one of the planes that crashed into the Twin Towers. She said her mother would have wanted Moussaoui to live.
Ms. LAMACK: She would prefer to see someone like this spend their time in jail, and have to think about what he's made the decisions in his life and what he's chosen. Because he was not capable of pulling off these horrific attacks. He's a want-to-be who deserves to rot in jail. And I'm just glad that he got what he deserves today.
SULLIVAN: Day after day, family members lined up for a pass to sit inside the Alexandria courtroom. During the trial, some would cry, others would just stare at Moussaoui. Some said they were looking for answers; they wanted to know how the government might have prevented the attacks. Others said they were there for closure. But even for those pleased with the verdict yesterday, that wasn't easy to find.
Ms. ROSEMARY DILLARD (Wife of 9/11 Victim): There isn't a closure. You know, like a sore--they took the scab off. I feel like it happened yesterday.
SULLIVAN: Rosemary Dillard has spent almost everyday in the courtroom, over the past two months. At first, she wanted Moussaoui to be executed. But yesterday, she suddenly found herself undecided.
Ms. DILLARD: On the way over here, I was trying to decide what outcome do I want? What outcome do I want? And then I just settled in, and it's whatever the jury decided. Those men and women had a very difficult task to complete. And what they've come up with, is all right with me.
SULLIVAN: When this trial began, Zacarias Moussaoui had already pled guilty, and was going to be sentenced to life without parole. Even though the jury rejected the government's appeal for a death sentence, many family members said the trial was still worth it.
Mr. BILL DOYLE (Son Killed on 9/11): I lost my son, Joseph. He worked for Cantor Fitzgerald. He was 25 years old.
SULLIVAN: Bill Doyle is disappointed by the verdict. But he's glad the trial forced the government to reveal information about mistakes they made, leading up to 9/11. He worries now, that the Justice Department will no longer bring those involved in the 9/11 attacks to U.S. courtrooms.
Mr. DOYLE: I just don't want to see our government stop with this one person. There are so many others that were involved with 9/11.
SULLIVAN: As he left the courtroom yesterday, Moussaoui stood up and yelled, America, you lost. Bill Doyle and other family members say, he's wrong. They say the fact that Moussaoui received a fair trial in front of the world, and that 12 Americans spared his life, proves that the opposite is true.

A northern Nevada industrial plant can begin turning tons of garbage into a synthetic oil that can be refined into fuel for airplanes, following a recent Environmental Protection Agency rule change.
After five years, the EPA on June 3 finalized the rule sought by Fulcrum BioEnergy’s Sierra BioFuels Plant in Storey County.
A company official told the Las Vegas Review-Journal the facility would permanently employ roughly 120 people.
Once operating, it will process 175,000 tons of landfill garbage into 11 million gallons of synthetic fuel oil each year, company officials said.
U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., who helped guide the company through the bureaucratic maze, said she hoped the plant would create more than a thousand indirect jobs throughout the state while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
She called the project “an entirely new industry.”
After the project stalled at the EPA during the Trump and Biden administrations, Cortez Masto pushed for a regulatory rule change that will allow the synthetic fuel oils to be produced, marketed and sold.
“I wouldn’t let unnecessary government bureaucracy stand in the way of this innovative new facility,” Cortez Masto said in a statement detailing her involvement with the process since 2017.
EPA Administrator Michael Regan said the agency actions and rules issued for the Renewable Fuel Standard program are “steps to increase the availability of homegrown biofuels.”
Regan added that the intent of new rules on renewable fuel standards is to “provide more options for consumers at the pump.”
In the case of the Sierra BioFuels Plant, the synthetic material may be used in aviation, said Eric Pryor, Fulcrum’s president and chief executive officer, in a statement announcing operations at the facility east of Reno.
“Fulcrum is launching an entirely new source of low-cost, domestically produced, net-zero carbon transportation fuel, which will contribute to the aviation industry’s carbon reduction goals, U.S. energy security and address climate stability,” Pryor said in a statement.
In an interview with the Review-Journal, Benny Wong, Fulcrum BioEnergy managing director of fuels and regulatory affairs, said the northern Nevada site was chosen because of the regulatory climate in the state, the landfill and the proximity to markets.
The EPA’s rule change was one of the final hurdles to moving ahead with the project, he said.
“Our Sierra project would be the first municipal solid waste-to-fuel in the nation,” Wong said.
Such projects take several years to plan and build, Wong said.
Fulcrum BioEnergy first received a $105 million loan guarantee in 2014 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to start research and planning on the project.
Cortez Masto, who is also a member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, helped the company secure that financial support from the department in 2017. Construction began in 2018 and finished in 2021.
Still, EPA rule changes were needed. EPA continued to review the Renewable Fuel Standards program over two presidential administrations.
Cortez Masto talked recently with Regan and pushed the EPA to provide the regulatory “fix” in new rules. Regan announced that change in a batch of new rules issued by the agency.
Regan said the EPA’s new rules would “help to reduce our reliance on oil and put the (Renewable Fuel Standards) program back on track after years of challenges and mismanagement.”
The U.S. Department of Agriculture also announced this month that it would invest $700 million in biofuel producers who were economically hit by the coronavirus pandemic.
The funds are part of the $2.2 trillion relief bill passed by Congress in 2020. | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/EPA-gives-Nevada-firm-OK-to-turn-trash-to-17236499.php | 2022-06-12T18:48:26Z | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/EPA-gives-Nevada-firm-OK-to-turn-trash-to-17236499.php | false | 13 |
(NEXSTAR) — Rapper Snoop Dogg says soaring prices are behind his recent decision to give one of his employees a raise.
The employee? His full-time personal blunt roller.
In a reply to UberFacts, which explained Snoop’s roller makes between $40,000 and $50,000 per year, the California rap legend wrote, “Inflation. Their salary went up!!”
Snoop first talked about this employee in a 2019 Howard Stern Show interview, Complex reports.
“That m———– is like Lurch from “The Addams Family.’ ‘You rang?’” said Snoop.
Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus Jr., explained to Stern that rolling his blunts is the man’s “J-O-B, his occupation. On his resume, it says, ‘What do you do? I’m a blunt roller. P-B-R: Professional Blunt Roller.”
The 50 year-old “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper said the job comes with the added perk of free cannabis.
Actor Seth Rogen backed up Snoop’s claim, saying the employee can tell when someone “seems like they want a blunt.”
Snoop has been a vocal cannabis enthusiast and activist for decades.
In addition to an endless discography touting his love for smoking, Snoop founded Leafs by Snoop in 2015. Last year, Snoop told The Hollywood Reporter that while he appreciates increasing governmental and public support for legal cannabis sales, he hopes it’s not at the cost of people serving prison time for doing the same.
“I just feel like they’ve got to really go back and release everybody that’s in jail [for] marijuana if you’re going to make it legal. Imagine if drug dealers — I call them street vendors — were able to position themselves [in today’s industry],” Snoop told THR. “It’s so hard for Black men, it’s hard for people with criminal records, to get licensed, to get dispensaries. They put so many different hurdles in front of us to where it becomes like an industry that’s not for us, but we do all the promoting of it, buying it and making it what it is.”
Cannabis advocates have even taken to Snoop Dogg’s own concerts to get their own messages out.
In April, South Dakotans for Better Marijuana Laws petitioned outside of the musician’s concert at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center in Sioux Falls. The organization said it collected hundreds of signatures to help get cannabis legalization on the state’s November 2022 ballot.
Campaign director Matthew Schweich told KELOLand: “It won’t surprise anyone that I didn’t encounter a single person who opposed cannabis legalization outside of a Snoop Dogg concert.” | https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/national-news/snoop-dogg-gives-full-time-blunt-roller-a-raise-cites-inflation/ | 2022-06-12T19:01:23Z | https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/national-news/snoop-dogg-gives-full-time-blunt-roller-a-raise-cites-inflation/ | true | 21 |
PTI Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday said that the PTI was "working in full swing" for the next elections.
During an exclusive interview with a private TV news channel, Khan said that as opposed to the PTI, it would be "very difficult for the current government to run an election campaign".
He went on to say that it was "impossible for the incumbent coalition government to win the next election".
Khan said that the government registered police cases against members of the PTI following the party's "Azadi March" to Islamabad last month so that it could put anyone it wanted in jail.
The former prime minister also criticised the Shahbaz Sharif-led government for passing the National Accountability (Amendment) Bill, 2022 on June 9, which had previously been returned by President Arif Alvi.
Commenting on the development, Khan said that the PTI will approach the Supreme Court soon.
Regarding the overall political situation of the country, the PTI chairman said that the entire nation was "looking towards the institutions to intervene and make things right."
Answering a question about the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), Khan said that the projects "had to be halted because of the coronavirus pandemic."
In response to another question regarding Pakistan's relations with the United States during PTI's tenure, Khan said that he enjoyed cordial ties with former US president Donald Trump, adding that Joe Biden's administration was "stuck in dealing with matters related to Afghanistan".

CAMARILLO, Calif. -- The average U.S. price of regular-grade gasoline spiked 39 cents over the past three weeks to $5.10 per gallon.

The average price at the pump is $1.97 higher than it was one year ago.
Nationwide, the highest average price for regular-grade gas is in the San Francisco Bay Area, at $6.55 per gallon. The lowest average is in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, at $4.43 per gallon.

You forgot Keita. Thiago/Keita already rotate for one spot.
True, but in Keita's best season here by a long way in terms of fitness, they started 31 league games
combined. We were actually pretty lucky their injuries dove-tailed so nicely last season - they missed 9 and 12 league games but only 3 of those occasions overlapped.
Most of our dropped points last season came when we were unable to field any combo of 3 of our 4 best midfielders - in the 10 games we dropped points, in only 2 of them would you say we were fielding a "first-choice" midfield and one of them was the hardest game of the season (City away, with the other being Spurs at home). I mean it's ridiculous that you need to be near-perfect across a season and get 90+ points to win the league, but it is what it is, and we're dealing with small margins.
Outside of the core four, the others options just aren't the same level/fit. And I'd have no concerns with that whatsoever if any of Henderson, Thiago or Keita were reliable fitness-wise. If anything, I'd think we could reduce the number of players we have in midfield - four genuinely top class players for three positions is on the face of it very good. But as it turns out, all of our best midfielders have unreliable fitness. Some seasons we'll be lucky. Some we won't. I'm not saying we need to have 6 world-class players in there, but I think we should be looking for someone in the middle ground of "top-class, but made of biscuits" and "consistently fit, but unproven at the top level". | https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=349030.msg18383016 | 2022-06-12T19:31:48Z | https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=349030.msg18383016 | true | 4 |
LIANE HANSEN, host:
From NPR News, this is WEEKEND EDITION. I'm Liane Hansen.
The Pentagon says it has opened an investigation into the deaths this weekend of three detainees being held at the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Military officials say the men committed suicide. They are the first reported deaths at the isolated detention center since it opened more than four years ago.
NPR's national security correspondent Jackie Northam has been following the story, and she joins us now. Jackie, first of all, what details can you give us about the suicides?
JACKIE NORTHAM reporting:
Well, early yesterday morning, Saturday morning, a guard at Guantanamo discovered that one of the detainees had hanged himself in his cell. Medics were called in. They tried to revive the detainee, but no luck. The man had died. And it was shortly after that that they discovered two other men nearby that had also hanged themselves and were also dead, pronounced dead.
All three of the men had made nooses out of their bedclothes and out of the sheets and that, and that's how they hanged themselves. I have to say that two of the men were from Saudi Arabia. One of the men was a Yemeni National. The other thing that we found out is all three men had left suicide notes. They were all written in Arabic, but the military will not say what was in those notes, even though they have translators, obviously, at the base, that type of thing. This is now part of an investigation, so they won't divulge this sort of information. They won't tell us what their names were, their ages, that type of thing. So the investigation is underway. We're still waiting for more details.
HANSEN: Is the U.S. military saying it was a coordinated act?
NORTHAM: They, that's right. Well, they're calling it coordinated protest. And they said it was well planned out by these men, who they called dangerous prisoners. They said that the methodology used by all three men in committing suicide was the same.
Now, what's interesting is that the military called this, not an act of desperation, Liane, but an act of warfare. The Guantanamo commander, in a press conference yesterday, Navy Rear Admiral Harry Harris said that these men were committed Jihadists, they were captured in Afghanistan, that they were smart and creative, and that they were willing to carry on the fight, even though they were in Guantanamo Bay. So somehow committing suicide is in line with that thinking.
And this falls in line with what the military has always said, that anytime that these suicide attempts are made, it's a tactic used by al-Qaida to garner support, you know, within the media, and sympathy from the public.
HANSEN: What are the defense lawyers for the detainees and human rights advocates saying about these suicides?
NORTHAM: Well, defense lawyers and human rights advocates have always suggested that these suicide attempts are really a way to end the mental trauma that many of these men are going through. You have to remember that most of them have been held there for well over four years now. Only ten out of the 460 that are remaining there have been charged. So the rest are really just languishing. They don't know what their future holds whatsoever.
Some of them have lawyers now, but many still do not. They can't make phone calls to their families. You know, they don't have visitors, obviously anything like that. So again, they're just languishing in the cells, and you know, this has, you know, according to lawyers and human rights advocates, this really has created an enormous amount of mental anguish for the men.
HANSEN: Now, if all of that is the case, then is it likely the military is going to change its operations to try to prevent this, to try to prevent more suicides?
NORTHAM: Well, I think that, you know, it's probably pretty clear that there will be more suicide attempts. There have been 41 in the past few years. And the military, over the years, has changed some of its tactics or procedures to help prevent them. The guards cross in front of the cells much more often than they used to. There are methods to get in faster if they see a suicide attempt. This weekend, the military said that they're going to change those operations again. And one way, certainly, is that they're going to take the bed sheets away from the prisoners in the morning and give them to them at night again.
You know, I suppose they could still fashion nooses out of their clothes. I don't know what they're going to do with that. But, you know, I think other methods are certainly underway to try to prevent something like this happening again.
HANSEN: NPR's national security correspondent, Jackie Northam. Jackie, thank you very much.
NORTHAM: Thank you, Liane. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR. | https://www.hppr.org/2006-06-11/suicides-raise-new-questions-at-guantanamo | 2022-06-12T19:34:27Z | https://www.hppr.org/2006-06-11/suicides-raise-new-questions-at-guantanamo | true | 3 |
With the economy back to normal amid a rapid fall in COVID-19 cases, foreign direct investment or FDI in Bangladesh has increased almost to the pre-pandemic level, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, bdnews24.com reports.
Inflows rose by 13 per cent to $2.9 billion in Bangladesh last year, the UN agency said in its World Investment Report 2022.
The number of international project finance deals tripled to 14, reaching $4.7 billion, according to the report, published on Thursday. The largest project was the construction of a container terminal in Ananda Bazar for $2 billion.
UNCTAD said FDI in the Least Developed Countries increased by 13 per cent to $26 billion, despite the acceleration of funds repatriation by oil companies, which resulted in negative inflows to Angola of $4.1 billion from $1.9 billion in 2020.
Flows remained concentrated, with Bangladesh among the top five recipients, who accounted for 69 per cent of total FDI in the group. In the nine Asian LDCs, FDI inflows rose by 6 per cent to $9.8 billion, or one-third of the LDC total. In Cambodia, the largest LDC recipient, FDI was down by 4 per cent, at $3.5 billion.
UNCTAD mentioned Bangladesh Dual-Gauge Railway Line Project as an example of investment projects relevant to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. The build-own-operate project comprises the construction of an 80-km mass transit system, with Bangladesh Railway and Rites Ltd as sponsors.
Bangladesh is among the 35 economies and country groupings monitored by UNCTAD for developments in sustainable finance measures and regulations. According to the UNCTAD sustainable finance regulation database, by the end of 2021, these economies had 316 sustainable finance-dedicated policy measures and regulations in force. Over 40 per cent of these measures were introduced in the last five years, and 41 new measures were adopted in 2021 alone. At least 45 more measures are under development. These trends illustrate the accelerating pace of growth in sustainable finance policymaking.
In 2021, ASEAN, China, Japan and Malaysia launched or revised their sustainable finance taxonomies on sustainable finance. Bangladesh is among the countries that are in the process of developing one.
Most of the taxonomies in use, and under development, are dedicated to climate transition and environmental protection. However, a few countries have started to incorporate social development into their taxonomies. The Bangladesh taxonomy pursues both climate and social development objectives, and covers cottage, micro and SME development and socially responsible investment.
Emerging economies are also putting in place sector-specific measures to leverage the potential of financial institutions to finance sustainable development.
Bangladesh, China, Colombia, Nigeria and Turkey have developed guidelines for sustainable banking with the aim of directing more investment into key sustainable development areas, including SME development, job creation, social infrastructure and agriculture. -bdnews24.com | https://www.observerbd.com/news.php?id=370093 | 2022-06-12T19:35:57Z | https://www.observerbd.com/news.php?id=370093 | false | 1 |
Violent crime across the nation is up. For the first time since 2001, there are more murders, rapes and assaults, according to the FBI.
But violent crime didn't just rise last year. According to the numbers, it jumped 2.5 percent. That's the biggest increase since 1991, when the country was battling gangs and the crack epidemic.
According to the report, cities with less than a quarter-million people had the largest increases -- homicides alone were up 12 percent last year.
Criminologist speculate that there are several reasons for the rise in violent crime: cutbacks in federal law enforcement grants, a focus on terrorism, a nationwide resurgence in gang activity and signs of increasing youth violence as children born in the 1990s become teenagers.
Justice Department officials say crime-fighting has been a priority of the Bush administration for the past six years and point to millions of dollars the Justice Department has spent on anti-gang initiatives and community programs such as Project Safe Neighborhoods.
The report wasn't all bad. Some of the nation's largest cities, including Los Angeles and New York, continue to show a drop in violent crime. The complete report will be released this fall.

China's next crewed spacecraft is ready for potential space station rescue mission
China's Shenzhou 14 astronauts are only just settling in for their six-month mission aboard the country's space station, but Shenzhou 15 is already on standby in case of an emergency in orbit.
Shenzhou 14 lifted off on June 4 , delivering astronauts Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe to the Tianhe space station core module seven hours later .
Life in orbit is going well for the trio so far, but back on the ground the Shenzhou 15 spacecraft and a Long March 2F rocket have been assembled and tested in case an emergency arises aboard China's Tiangong space station .
Related: The latest news about China's space program
"When a spaceship is performing tasks in space, there must be another manned spaceship on standby on the ground for emergency rescue," Jia Shijin, chief designer of the crewed spacecraft system under the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST), explained to CCTV .
"If the spaceship in space is out of order and can't return, then we'll quickly launch this rescue spaceship, which can enter orbit in a very short time and bring the astronauts back to Earth," Jia added.

It was earlier reported that Shenzhou 14, while on standby during the recent Shenzhou 13 mission, could have been readied for launch within nine days .
If all continues to go well with Shenzhou 14, however, Shenzhou 15 will launch sometime around December to carry out its primary, intended mission — sending three new astronauts to the completed three-module Tiangong. There they will meet up with the Shenzhou 14 astronauts for Tiangong's first-ever crew handover.

GARY, Ind. (AP) — Two people were killed and four others were wounded in a shooting at an Indiana nightclub early Sunday, police said.
Officers responding to reports of shots fired around 2 a.m. in Gary, southeast of Chicago, said they found two people who had been shot and were unresponsive. A 34-year-old man was near the entrance to Playo’s NightClub and a 26-year-old woman was found inside, police said. Both were declared dead after being taken to a local hospital.
Four other people were also wounded, including one who was in critical condition, police said.
Authorities did not release the victims’ names or information about what may have led up to the shooting. They said multiple law enforcement agencies responded due to a large crowd that needed to be evacuated and the large number of victims.

Starfield Gameplay & Details Are Super-Impressive in New Video
Today, during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022, Microsoft presented the first gameplay look of the space RPG Starfield by Bethesda.
Today, during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022, Microsoft presented the first gameplay look at the space RPG Starfield by Bethesda.
We get to see the player’s arrival on the mysterious moon of Kreet in search of an abandoned research facility. Interestingly, the gameplay showcases some gathering aspects followed by combat, which is inevitable since pirates are occupying the facility.
We then move to the capital city of New Atlantis, showing some more peaceful interaction including dialogue and storytelling.
Next, we take an extensive look at the character creation that, according to Todd Howard, is the most advanced Bethesda has ever made.
Yet, characters aren’t the only thing you can customize. You can also build your own spaceship and recruit the crew. Of course, you can also fly them and fight in space against other spaceships.
You can land and explore everywhere on all the planets in 100 systems, which is over 1,000 planets.
You can find the footage below and try not to be impressed if you can.
Bethesda has recently delayed Starfield to 2023, so we still have quite a long time to wait before we’ll be able to play it.
The game will release for Xbox and PC. It will also launch on Xbox Game Pass at the same time as it does at retail.
You can also check out a recent video featuring the game’s lore and another featuring the music, the trailer from the past E3, some more details shared by Todd Howard himself, another tease of the soundtrack, a look at the game’s development through the lens of Bethesda’s history, a video explaining factions and the world, and one focusing on the companion Vasco. | https://twinfinite.net/2022/06/starfield-trailer-xbox-bethesda-games-showcase/ | 2022-06-12T19:48:42Z | https://twinfinite.net/2022/06/starfield-trailer-xbox-bethesda-games-showcase/ | true | 1 |

With domestic traders and FIIs persistently locking in profits whenever prices show strength, analysts said that the best strategy would be to avoid aggressive positions while focusing attention on select stocks based on their fundamentals.
Here’s how analysts read the pulse of the current market.
“We would rather reassess the situation in the first half of the forthcoming week and all eyes on crucial levels like 16000 on the lower side and 16400 on the upside. The pragmatic strategy would be to stay light on positions and stock specific also; we are seeing a lot of whipsaws on either side,” Sameet Chavan, Chief Analyst-Technical and Derivatives, Angel One Ltd said.
Terming the trading experience of the last couple of weeks a “nightmare”, Chavan said that a recovery in coming days would be crucially contingent on US markets showing strength.
“The benchmark appears to be moving towards the support zone between 15,900 and 16,100. Despite the fact that this week's trading patterns suggest additional downside, the overall bearish momentum has moderated as Nifty is currently trading above the falling resistance line,” Yesha Shah, Head of Equity Research, Samco Securities said.
As long as Nifty does not fall below 15,900, there is a significant chance that the index can test 16,800 levels, Shah said.
That said, here’s a look at what some key indicators are suggesting for Monday’s action:
US shares
Global equity markets slumped and the dollar strengthened on Friday after a bigger-than-expected U.S. inflation spike in May raised concerns the Federal Reserve may tighten policy for too long and cause a sharp slowdown. On Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 2.73%, the S&P 500 lost 2.91% and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 3.52%. The three indices posted their biggest weekly declines since January, tumbling roughly 5% each.
European shares
European shares slumped 2.7% on Friday after U.S. inflation came in hotter than expected, raising the prospect of a recession as central banks try to put a lid on prices. Losses on the pan-European STOXX 600 index were broad-based, led by a 4.8% slide in banks. STOXX 600 index fell 2.69% and MSCI's gauge of global equity markets shed 2.79%. Italy's MIB index sank 5.2% to three-month lows. Spain's IBEX gave up 3.7%, while other major bourses in the region lost more than 2% each.
Tech View: Bearish candle
In the week gone by, the NSE Nifty50 index fell for four of the five trading days, ending the week 2.3 per cent lower. In the process, the index Nifty on the weekly chart formed a negative reversal candle on the downside. Formation of a long bear candle on the weekly chart signals a larger lower top reversal pattern at the swing high of 16,793 levels, said analysts.
F&O: Support at 16,000
On the call side, a large concentration of open interest is at 16500, meaning this is a resistance levels. On the put side, open interest converges around 16,000, providing support.
Stocks showing bullish bias
Momentum indicator Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed bullish trade setup on the counters of , , Dr Reddy’s, Divis Labs, and .
The MACD is known for signaling trend reversals in traded securities or indices. When the MACD crosses above the signal line, it gives a bullish signal, indicating that the price of the security may see an upward movement and vice versa.
Stocks signalling weakness ahead
The MACD showed bearish signs on the counters of Indian Bank, SRF, GR , Jyothy Labs, NHPC, and . Bearish crossover on the MACD on these counters indicated that they have just begun their downward journey.
Most active stocks in value terms
(Rs 2288 crore), (Rs 1227 crore), HDFC (Rs 984 crore), Bajaj Finance (Rs 729 crore), Tata Steel (Rs 972 crore), and Infosys (Rs 966 crore) were among the most active stocks on NSE in value terms. Higher activity on a counter in value terms can help identify the counters with highest trading turnovers in the day.
Most active stocks in volume terms

Ottawa Police said they identified two persons of interest but no public safety concerns as they continued to investigate an incident that briefly led to the evacuation of Parliament Hill.
Police said in a news release that they received information Saturday about a potential threat near the parliamentary precinct, prompting them to close some surrounding streets to vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
They have not disclosed the nature of the threat.
The Parliamentary Protective Service also ordered an evacuation of Parliament Hill, issuing an alert to all Parliamentarians and staff and noting all buildings in the precinct were to be under shelter-in-place orders until further notice.
Later in the afternoon, police tweeted the area was open again to the public.
The force said in the release it had not identified a public safety threat stemming from the incident, but said it identified two people and two vehicles of interest, and that they were still investigating.

Moneybagg Yo on Saturday shared appreciation for single mothers who take on the burden of child-rearing oftentimes alone.
In a post shared on Saturday, the CMG rapper admitted that it is challenging being a single parent. It’s the first time he’s speaking out after the death of one of the mothers of his children, Kennedy Lynette, with whom he has three children.
Kennedy Lynette, who also goes by Chyna Santana, died six (6) weeks ago. It’s unclear the cause of death, but it seems that the rapper has taken up primary care of the children.
In a now-deleted tweet, Moneybagg Yo acknowledged how difficult and taxing single parenting is.
“Single parenting hard especially when you tryna pursuit yours dream at the same time[.] women are the real definition of queens. We can’t do this sh*t without y’all but sometimes we forced to,” he said.
Moneybagg added that his own situation has brought home the important work single mothers do.
“My situation I’m dealing with right now made me respect mothers even more,” he added.
Kennedy Lynette’s sudden death was announced weeks ago as friends and family reacted.
“I’m so sickkk.. I’m heart hurting so bad dude. I was just otp with you my sister. Why you had to do me like that Kennedy Lynette why you leave me,” a woman named Jessica Summers wrote on Facebook.
In the meantime, Moneybagg Yo’s career has been growing with the release of his latest album, A Gangsta’s Pain, giving him his first Billboard 200 No. 1 album and also being one of his most successful commercial albums selling 110,000 album0-equivalent units in the first few days.
Some hit songs include songs like ‘’Time Today,’’ ‘’Hard For The Next,’’ and club anthem, ‘’Wockesha.’’
The rapper back in March promised his fans new music, but it seems that having primary care for three of his eight children is his number one priority for now. | https://barbadosgazette.com/moneybagg-yo-shares-his-single-father-hardships-following-chyna-santanas-death/ | 2022-06-12T20:10:00Z | https://barbadosgazette.com/moneybagg-yo-shares-his-single-father-hardships-following-chyna-santanas-death/ | true | 10 |

US senators announce bipartisan gun management deal
On Sunday, a bipartisan group of US senators proposed steps to cut back gun violence within the wake of devastating mass shootings in Texas and New York, however the restricted measures don’t meet the president’s requires change.

“It clearly does not do every thing I consider is critical, however it does replicate essential steps in the proper route, and it is going to be a very powerful gun security laws Congress has handed in a long time,” he mentioned in a press release. With bipartisan help, there aren’t any excuses for delay, and no motive to not transfer shortly by means of the Senate and Home of Representatives.
The mass shootings pushed the president towards extra basic reforms, together with banning assault rifles — utilized in shootings in Texas and New York — or at the very least growing the age at which they are often bought. He additionally urged lawmakers to ban high-capacity magazines, implement secure storage of firearms, and permit gun producers to be held answerable for crimes with their merchandise.

KOHLER, Wisc., June 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kohler's Fuorisalone exhibition featuring a large-scale immersive art experience, entitled "Divided Layers," is named the winning project in the Fuorisalone Award 2022, a project by Fuorisalone.it. Divided Layers is a site-specific installation that builds upon the duo's release of Rock.01 – a 3D printed sink Daniel Arsham designed in collaboration with Kohler in 2021.
Kohler, a global lifestyle brand and leader in kitchen and bath products, partnered with artist-designer, Daniel Arsham on the world premiere of the immersive art experience.
The Fuorisalone Award is both the physical prize, made in 3D printing, and the related NFT. The three-dimensional representation of complex data relating to Fuorisalone.it was created by Mauro Martino, digital artist, Principal Research Scientist at the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab (Cambridge, MA, USA). Mauro Martino created a "network sculpture," an abstract mathematical construct, synthesis of the processing of both physical and digital data collected through the Fuorisalone web platform. The result is a digital diagram consisting of nodes (point objects) and connections (one-dimensional lines) which was translated into an organic three-dimensional physical object.
The immersive installation is made of a series of stacked panels combined to form a walkable tunnel. When developing Rock.01, Arsham was inspired to create Divided Layers to give guests the ability to move through the sink. Each panel references a single plane of the 3D printed clay that layers together to form the sink. 3D printing is a process of additive construction; in contrast, the tunnel is revealing the subtractive in taking away portions to give way to the volume the visitor can walk through.

TAMPA, Fla. — The Rangers reported to the rink and went through their game-day routine, not that facing the Lightning on the cusp of elimination was necessarily routine.
“We’ve been through it before, five elimination games, but we can’t be comfortable with that, either,” Andrew Copp said hours before he and his teammates attempted to avoid trap door No. 6 in Game 6 of the conference final against the Lightning. “We have to have that desperation and understand this is a different beast.
“It’s going to be all out for 60-plus minutes for sure. No passengers, everyone driving. For sure.”
Only one team in NHL history has won the Stanley Cup after going the seven-game distance in the first three rounds. That was the 2014 Kings, who escaped elimination seven times before beating the Rangers in the five-game finals that featured three overtime games, with Games 2 and 5 decided in the second OT.
Those Kings came back from down 3-0 to the Sharks in the first round, down 3-2 to the Ducks in Round 2, and then survived an overtime Game 7 against the Blackhawks after holding a 3-1 lead in the conference finals.
Eight years later, the Rangers are again chasing the 2014 Kings.
Game 6 marked the Rangers’ 20th playoff match in 40 days. It was also Game 102 for the Blueshirts since the puck dropped on their season in Washington on Oct. 13. They entered Game 6 having won 52 games in the regular season and another 10 in the tournament.
And they have achieved success by applying a formula that is weighted toward getting game-changing goaltending from Igor Shesterkin and production from the power play. There is more to it, of course. There is attention to detail and getting on the forecheck and defending the house, but there aren’t many secrets when it comes to the Rangers. There aren’t many secrets at this time of year, period.
“We played a more patient game the other night and still found a way to lose late with that tough goal at the end of the game,” head coach Gerard Gallant said, referring to the 3-1 Game 5 loss Thursday at the Garden, in which Ondrej Palat scored the 2-1 goal with 1:50 remaining in regulation. “Overall, it was a coin flip for me.
“I expect we’ll come in [Saturday night] and play a good solid overall game. Sometimes you have to win differently than we’ve done all season long.”
Again, though, the Rangers went about their preparation just as they have all season and just as they have throughout this tournament. They surely did not report to the rink Saturday morning thinking it might be their final game day of the year. Athletes don’t think that way.
“We’ve been in this spot before in the first two rounds and our group as a whole has obviously handled it very well and have gained a lot of experience,” Barclay Goodrow said. “When our backs are against the wall it’s brought the best out of us so I don’t see why it would be any different [now].
“I think we’re excited for the challenge and are confident we can bring it back to New York.”
Gallant’s suggestion that the Rangers might have to win “differently” raises the question: What would that actually entail? Maybe the coach was visualizing Shesterkin scoring the first goal of his NHL career while recording the first playoff shutout of his career. Probably not.
Shesterkin has been excellent in the series. But, and this is no surprise, he has been matched save-for-save (and more) by Andrei Vasilevskiy at the other end. If this series has not necessarily featured a goaltending duel between arguably the two best in the world, that’s because there just haven’t been enough Grade-A scoring chances on either side for either netminder to take the spotlight.
Still, of course, Shesterkin remained the team’s heartbeat, entering Saturday with a .930 save percentage and 2.57 goals-against average in his five previous potential elimination games.
“There’s just a lot of confidence, I think he believes he can stop every shot,” Copp said. “Obviously the way he can play with his puck-handling and whatnot, he gives the team a lot of confidence back there knowing that if there are mistakes, he can bail us out.”
In another word, routine. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/sports/facing-elimination-has-become-routine-for-rangers/220030/ | 2022-06-12T20:23:59Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/sports/facing-elimination-has-become-routine-for-rangers/220030/ | false | 2 |
TAMPA, Fla. — After it had all ended, Mika Zibanejad sat at a podium alongside Chris Kreider, holding back tears.
“It’s just denial,” he said. “I’m empty right now. I don’t know what to say.”
A day before the unceremonious and season-ending 2-1 loss to the Lightning, Zibanejad had cast an upbeat tone, describing the challenge of facing Anthony Cirelli’s line as fun. But that could not have been further from his experience on Saturday night, when he capped an underwhelming conference final with another game in which his line was effectively erased by Cirelli, Alex Killorn and Brandon Hagel.
Zibanejad, who at one point had a eight-game points streak and looked like the Rangers’ best player this postseason, finished the conference final with one even-strength goal and one even-strength assist. Though he managed to contribute on the power play, he had no answer for the Lightning at five-on-five.
Coach Gerard Gallant would later say fatigue had a lot to do with the Rangers’ issues in the back half of the series, saying they felt the effects of playing every other day for 40 days. A despondent Zibanejad refused to agree.
“There’s no fatigue,” he said. “These are the games that we all want to play. … Had nothing to do with it.”
But fatigue or not, Game 6 was a nadir for his struggles.
Gallant tried to throw a spark into the Rangers by mixing up his lines and having Zibanejad center Alexis Lafreniere and Frank Vatrano. That backfired spectacularly, and Gallant returned the lines to their usual configuration following the first period.
When the puck did come Zibenajad’s way in the offensive zone, it seemed to regularly find a way off his stick. His first shot on net came with 6:55 left in the game, and he would finish with just two.
Since the start of the second round, when the Hurricanes played Jordan Staal’s line against the Rangers’ top group, Zibenejad struggled to break through against checking lines. In that sense, Saturday was a culmination — in which every trouble compounded.
There was no tactical answer for Gallant. He wasn’t going to shelter his top line as a response — Zibanejad simply had to find a way. That was how the Rangers broke through in Game 7 against the Hurricanes, when Zibanejad had two even-strength assists and seemed to have gotten past his issues.
But Cirelli was a step above anything the Hurricanes threw at Zibanejad. On Saturday morning, Tampa coach Jon Cooper called him “[Nikita] Kucherov without the puck” — waxing poetic about Cirelli’s ability to read plays on defense.
As much as anything, that matchup tilted the balance of the series.
And Zibanejad, with the rest of the Rangers, is now headed home. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/sports/rangers-mika-zibanejad-shut-down-by-lightnings-checking-line/220293/ | 2022-06-12T20:27:46Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/sports/rangers-mika-zibanejad-shut-down-by-lightnings-checking-line/220293/ | false | 2 |

Phil Bennett was a team-mate, a fellow Lions tourist, and a friend. Benny was not just a wonderful rugby player but an exceptional human being. I played alongside him for eight Lions tests in 1974 and 1977, and got a real sense of him as both a player and a man. Even at the time I thought that each outing was a rare privilege, and the passage of time has not dulled my appreciation of his genius.
In a generation of outstanding Welsh rugby players so good that they didn't need surnames – JJ, JPR, Mervyn, Gerald, Gareth, The Viet Gwent – he stood comparison with all of them. It says much for him that he was able to fill the boots of the legendary Barry John, going on to conquer the Springboks in 1974 every bit as emphatically as Barry John had conquered the All Blacks in 1971.
Playing next to him, as inside centre to his stand-off, was a joy. He was not only a talented player but a considerate one; he would go out of his way to help bring those around him into the play as effectively as possible. It helped, of course, that he was such a threat himself. Any opposition back row would be so fixated on Gareth Edwards at scrum-half and his partner-in-crime Phil, that it created space, and he was expert at working me into those areas, often drawing the opposition towards him and then putting me away with a late pass just as he was about to be closed down.
As we all know from his unforgettable jinking runs for Wales, the Barbarians and the Lions, Benny was above all a superbly instinctive player, but he also had a great rugby brain on him. He thought deeply about the game, about how to do things differently, and was also able to articulate complex ideas about how he wanted the game to be played.
A fierce competitor, he was also utterly ruthless and if an opposition player was off form or struggling with an injury, Benny would exploit it mercilessly. Never was that better illustrated than at altitude in the Second Test on the rock hard ground of Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria in 1974. Gerald Bosch was making his Test debut for the Springboks and Phil took him to the cleaners, stepping him time and again, then taking the ball into contact and offloading to set runners away. He was unplayable, setting up two tries and scoring an amazing try himself where he sidestepped several defenders at pace. The Springboks sustained a record defeat that day and Bosch was dropped for the rest of the series.
That tour in 1974 was famous for the Lions remaining undefeated, and a share of the credit for that should go to the way in which Phil was able to control games. He had a really cultured boot, but it was his options which were so impressive; he rarely took the wrong one, and invariably kept us heading in the right direction.
I once went down to West Wales to play for the Lions against Phil's club, Llanelli, who were coached by the 1971 Lions coach Carwyn James, a trip which gave me a chance to see how important their bond was. Carwyn was a man of great vision; he and Phil were the perfect combination for Llanelli, where playing attractive running rugby is literally written into the club constitution. Before that famous 1973 Barbarians win over the All Blacks, Carwyn famously exhorted Phil “to go out there and show the world what Stradey already knows”, and that is exactly what he did, both in that match and on the 1974 Lions tour.
Off the pitch, Phil was a tremendously popular tourist. A real comedian, he had a fantastic sense of humour and his wonderful mimicry of his great pal Bobby Windsor became a standing joke on that tour. He was a great story-teller, at his happiest with a pint in hand, with friends in a bar.
He had a great sense of the absurd, even in the most trying of circumstances. When we left New Zealand in 1977 to travel back to the UK, we came back via Fiji, where we played a final test. It was absolutely boiling, a real contrast to the Land of the Long White Cloud, and Fiji were absolutely determined to win, which they did by 25-21 thanks in large part to the local schoolmaster who refereed the game and gave 33 penalties against us, usually as we were about to score. Phil was thoroughly amused.
Perhaps that was just relief that the 1977 tour was over because it had not been a happy experience. Phil was the tour captain, and the responsibility for our 3-1 series defeat lay heavily upon him. I think it's fair to say that the experience was one that he didn't enjoy, and that ultimately affected his performance on that tour, which lasted for four months in which we seemed to be accompanied by an incessant downpour. That was not the best stage on which to show his skills against a Kiwi nation obsessed with gaining revenge for the humiliation of 1971.
As well as having the privilege of playing with Phil, I also enjoyed our jousts in the Five Nations, when we were often in direct opposition when I played at No 10 for Scotland. There would always be an acknowledgement before each game; a wave of the hand, a nod of the head, and then we'd get down to it. Because we were friends we would always try to get one up on each other, to dummy and step, but it was invariably honours even. One of my earliest caps for Scotland was in 1973 when we beat Wales 10-9 at Murrayfield, and two years later I dropped the winning goal as we won 12-10 to stop Wales winning the Grand Slam. Phil got his own back in 1977 when he scored 14 points as Wales beat us 18-9 at Murrayfield to win the Triple Crown. Needless to say, I never won in Cardiff.
Much as those defeats hurt him, Phil never begrudged us our celebrations. That was very much the measure of the man: a passionate Welshman and fierce competitor, but above all a man with great humanity and an ability to see the good in almost any situation. | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/2022/06/12/farewell-phil-bennett-dear-friend-team-mate-rugby-genius/ | 2022-06-12T20:44:04Z | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/2022/06/12/farewell-phil-bennett-dear-friend-team-mate-rugby-genius/ | true | 1 |
Canadian police probe possible bomb threat to parliament
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
OTTAWA, June 12 (Reuters) - Canadian police are investigating a possible risk to national security that forced parliament to lock down for several hours on Saturday after border agents warned of a bomb threat, a government source said on Sunday.
The intelligence branch of the border agency on Saturday warned that vehicles near parliament could be laden with explosives, according to the source, who was not authorized to speak on the record.
Ottawa police on Saturday said they had located "two vehicles of interest and two persons of interest", without elaborating, and said there was no threat to public safety.

No charges against the two individuals have yet been announced.
However, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's (RCMP) special Integrated National Security Enforcement Team, which investigates threats to national security, has opened a probe, the source said.
"It is still unclear how serious the threat was," said the source, who has been briefed on the investigation.
The RCMP declined to confirm or deny the news, first reported late on Saturday by Global News TV, which said a "major" national security investigation was underway.
"For privacy and operational reasons, the RCMP does not confirm, deny, or release information relating to criminal investigations unless or until charges are laid," an RCMP spokesman said in a statement.
Tensions in Ottawa's parliamentary precinct have been high since hundreds of trucks and vehicles blocked the area for three weeks earlier this year. The protest was against what demonstrators saw as government overreach during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The road that runs in front of parliament has never fully reopened since the protest to prevent vehicles from parking along it.

New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu only needed three quarters to record her second career triple-double on Sunday, becoming the fourth player in WNBA history with multiple triple-doubles in a career.
Ionescu posted 27 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists in an 88-86 loss to the Chicago Sky, the 11th triple-double in WNBA history. She finished 9-of-16 from the field with only two turnovers in 38 minutes, but it wasn't enough to win as Chicago (9-4) came back from a six-point deficit in the fourth quarter. New York dropped to 5-9 on the season.
Ionescu recorded her first trouble-double on May 18, 2021, when she had 26 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds in a win over the Minnesota Lynx.
For the season, the guard is averaging 17.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.

A tundra wildfire continued to creep closer to an Alaska Native community in southwest Alaska, but mandatory evacuations have not been ordered, fire officials said Sunday.
The East Fork fire was within 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers) of St. Mary’s, a statement from Alaska Wildland Fire Information said.
Even though it had moved 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) closer to the Yup’ik community since Saturday, fire managers said the progress has slowed somewhat because of favorable weather conditions. The temperatures were slightly cooler with rising humidity, which could help moderate fire conditions. However, winds are expected to remain steady out of the north, helping move the fire toward populated areas.
The fire is burning in dry grass and shrubs like alder and willow in the mostly treeless tundra in southwest Alaska. The fire was started by lightning May 31.
Firefighters are working to strengthen primary and secondary fire lines protecting St. Mary’s and the nearby communities of Pitkas Point and Mountain Village and properties, including cabins, between them. No structures have been lost in the fire.
The fire is also 10 miles (16 kilometers) from another community, Pilot Station. Firefighters were expected to evaluate options of opening a preexisting fire line around that community.
Another fire northwest of the East Fork fire is growing, but it still about 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of Mountain Village.
There are 204 personnel working the East Fork fire, which has grown to 190 square miles (492 square kilometers). Additional personnel are expected to arrive Monday, when even more favorable weather conditions are also expected, including increased cloud cover, higher humidity and cooler temperatures. Officials also said the front may switch the wind direction to the southwest, which would help push the fire away from villages.
Even though there are no mandatory evacuations, the combined 700 residents of St. Mary’s and Pitkas Point, located about 10 miles (16 kilometers) south, have been on alert since Friday to prepare for possible evacuation.
Nearly 150 residents from the affected communities have already temporarily relocated to the southwest Alaska hub community of Bethel.
St. Mary’s is located about 450 miles (724 kilometers) west of Anchorage. | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Tundra-wildfire-creeps-closer-toward-Alaska-17236712.php | 2022-06-12T20:53:33Z | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Tundra-wildfire-creeps-closer-toward-Alaska-17236712.php | false | 31 |
The long wait for shorter wait times on resolving bank complaints is almost over as part of a raft of updates to banking regulations set to come into force.
The reforms are contained in a new financial consumer protection framework that is meant to address gaps in the system, but despite being almost a decade in development critics say the changes amount more to minor tweaks than any fundamental fix to the problems.
“It’s not an earth-shaking change, it’s not adequate to really protect consumers,” said John Lawford, executive director of the Public Interest Advocacy Centre.
Banks have already started sending out notifications on some of the changes they’ll have to implement when the rules come into force June 30, such as alerts on when an account balance goes below $100, and new rules limiting the liability on lost or stolen credit cards to $50 unless there’s gross negligence.
The new rules also reduce the number of days to 56 after first submitting a complaint against a bank before someone can elevate the issue to one of the third-party evaluators. Previously the rules allowed escalation 90 days after it had been escalated to the bank’s second level of resolution, but a lack of transparency from the banks around the timing helped push the actual average time to escalate a claim to be around 130 days.
Since the finance department sent out an initial consultation paper on the changes in late 2013 there have also been increased concerns about high-pressure sales tactics and up-selling in the industry. The new rules now specifically state that banks can’t “impose undue pressure” to sell a product or service, and that those products and services need to be “appropriate for the person” and their financial needs.
But while the new framework directs banks to improve policies, it’s not clear how enforceable, or effective, the new rules will be.
“It doesn’t really change the fundamental relationship that banks and their customers have, which is still transactional,” said Rene Kimmett, who isan articling student at the Public Interest Advocacy Centre.
The rules don’t go so far as to establish a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the client as some securities law does, she noted.
The changes also don’t incorporate rules around financial product design that are used in Australia, the U.K. and the EU, that require banks to design products for an appropriate target market, moving the question of whether a product is appropriate earlier in the product development stage.
Such rules are especially useful to protect consumers who are offered products and services via push notifications without the opportunity to ask questions about the product and its appropriateness for meeting their goals, said Kimmett.
The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC), which is tasked with protecting the interests of banking clients, said the new rules should address many of the concerns around sales tactics that it reported on in late May. The agency’s report noted around 15 to 20 per cent of mystery shoppers found product recommendations to be inappropriate, such as premium credit cards without asking about spending habits or income, with worse outcomes for visible minority and Indigenous customers.
For its part, the banking industry supports the changes under the new framework, said Canadian Bankers Association spokesman Mathieu Labrèche in a statement.
“Banks devote considerable time, effort and resources to help ensure customers are provided products and services that are appropriate for them and which they have consented to receive. Banks are committed to compliance with consumer protection measures.”
Looking beyond the framework itself, critics like Kimmett also note that while the complaints timeline has improved, the problem remains that Canada has two external complaints bodies that banks can choose from, leading to the skewed incentive of the two organizations needing to keep banks as clients while making rulings against them.
The federal government made an election promise to establish a single external complaints body, and recommitted to it in this year’s federal budget, but hasn’t given a timeline yet on when it will implement the change.
The new rules also do nothing to protect consumers from unfair prices, said Duff Conacher, co-founder of Democracy Watch, a Canadian advocacy organization.
“The rules are not very comprehensive in terms of stopping abuses and discrimination, and do nothing to stop gouging.”
He said that along with better enforcement by the FCAC itself, a much more effective action by the federal government would be to follow through on the Liberals’ campaign promise to enhance the powers of the FCAC to review prices charged by banks and impose changes if they are excessive.
“It was promised and was a huge promise, because it’s the first time a ruling party has promised to give a regulatory agency the power to review prices and impose changes.”
When asked about plans to create the single complaints body and to enact the enhanced powers, a Department of Finance official reiterated the budget commitment without providing further details, and said the government regularly reviews the financial sector framework and the protection of financial consumers.

AMESBURY, Mass. (AP) — Searchers on Sunday recovered the body of a 6-year-old boy who fell into the fast-moving Merrimack River and was swept away. The boy's mother drowned while trying to save him.
The Amesbury Police Department first posted the news on social media and said “we pray this gives the family some closure.”
Divers had been searching since Thursday evening, when a family outing on Deer Island turned into a tragedy.
Police said the boy, Mas DeChhat, reached for a stick and fell into the river. His 7-year-old sister tried to grab him and fell in, as well. They were joined in the water by their mother.
The girl survived but the mother was pronounced dead at a hospital after they were pulled from the water by a fishing boat operator. The father, who also jumped in, was treated for hypothermia.
Divers, boats and helicopters had been searching for the boy, but it was a kayaker who found the body on Sunday in the river, officials said. | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/Police-Body-of-boy-who-fell-into-river-has-been-17236669.php | 2022-06-12T21:00:15Z | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/Police-Body-of-boy-who-fell-into-river-has-been-17236669.php | true | 12 |

THE dreaded double chin is one fatty area of the body that's notoriously hard to get rid of.
However, there are other reasons that could explain your double chin that doesn't have to do with your exercise regime or food choices.
A health practitioner named Krista Griffin has shared in a video the three reasons why you may have a double chin.
Plus, she shared how to get rid of it without having to spend hours at the gym.
TONGUE POSTURE
First, Griffin explained that your tongue's positioning may play a role in your double chin.
She said: "Your tongue should be resting on the roof of your mouth.
"And if it's not, this will affect the shape and posture of your entire neck and face."
EXCESSIVE TENSION IN FACE AND NECK MUSCLES
Griffin said too much tension in your face muscles, specifically your SCM and hyoid, could be causing your double chin.
To help rid the tension, Griffin advised massaging your muscles.
She said your hyoid muscles are right underneath your chin and you can gently grab them to massage them out.
Most read in Lifestyle
Meanwhile, your SCM muscles are located on the front of your neck.
In another video, Griffin explained how to massage those muscles.
She said: "First you're just going to grab the muscles on both sides and pull gently outwards and massage in circles going from your ear all the way down."
POOR LYMPHATIC FLOW
Lastly, poor lymphatic flow through your neck and jaw could also be the culprit behind your double chin.
"That will allow fluid to get stuck and stay under the chin, which will create the appearance of a double chin," Griffin added.
In a separate video, Griffin explained how to do lymphatic drainage at home for your face and neck.
First, you'll want to stimulate above your collarbones by making circles, then stroke down your neck on both sides.
Then, you'll stimulate below your jaw and ears by making small circles followed by massaging your jawline.
Next, make small circles beside your nose then stroke across your cheekbones toward your ears.
Finally, stroke above your eyebrows and move down towards your ears.
With regular lymphatic drainage, the appearance of your double chin should fade away over time. | https://www.the-sun.com/lifestyle/5503781/health-expert-ways-rid-double-chin-no-gym/ | 2022-06-12T21:06:31Z | https://www.the-sun.com/lifestyle/5503781/health-expert-ways-rid-double-chin-no-gym/ | true | 4 |

Nancy Pelosi joked that her sarcastic clap at Donald Trump in 2019 was “completely unintentional.”
-
Pelosi became a meme when she infamously clapped at Trump after his 2019 State of the Union speech.
-
In Friday’s episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” Pelosi urged people to vote in the midterm elections.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joked about her infamous, sarcastic clap at former President Donald Trump after his 2019 State of the Union address.
In an appearance on a “RuPaul’s Drag Race” episode, which aired Friday, a drag queen, Raja Gemini, praised Pelosi’s viral reaction to Trump as she sat right over his shoulder during an 82-minute speech.
“We throw the word masterclass around here all the time, but that sarcastic, shady clap you do was f–king epic,” Raja said.
“It was completely unintentional,” Pelosi said with a shrug and a laugh.
Pelosi became a meme in 2019 when she extended her arms and clapped at Trump with a smirk on her face. It earned her the nickname of “Queen of Condescending Applause” by some, the Washington Post reported.
On Friday, RuPaul asked Pelosi for her “words of wisdom” on “all the challenges facing our nation.”
“The single most important thing I can say is to vote. With the midterm elections coming up, it’s very important for people to make their voices and their vote heard,” Pelosi said.
Democrats may face an uphill climb in November as strategists have raised the alarm that the party needs to solidify its messaging on the economy and other major issues affecting voters.
President Joe Biden has recently been said to be “really twisted” over his low approval rating, which has dropped down to 33 percent, per a June 8 Quinnipiac poll.
Friday’s RuPaul episode ended with Pelosi and the drag queens imitating Pelosi’s sarcastic clap.
“Thank you so much for the work you’ve done and the work you continue to do tirelessly for our freedom. Your tenacity is something that we all look up to,” RuPaul said. “We have prayers in our hearts to keep you strong.”

Former President Donald Trump's Save America rally on May 28 drew thousands of attendees to the Ford Wyoming Center in Casper, many of whom were eager to see the 45th president go after incumbent U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney.
Cheney has consistently drawn the ire of Trump and many of his supporters since she voted to impeach him for the events of Jan. 6, 2021. She's a visible figure on the U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack and has repeatedly criticized Trump for his role in the events. Trump endorsed Harriet Hageman, a former Cheney booster, last September and sought to energize voters to defeat her in the August primary.
The Wyoming Republican Party censured and voted to no longer recognize Cheney as a member of their party due to her impeachment vote. The Republican National Committee also censured her over her work with the Jan. 6 Committee.
"I'll definitely vote for her [Hageman] mainly just because, like everybody else here, I just want to get rid of Liz Cheney," said Kim McJunkin, a Casper resident, who attended the rally.
For her, there need to be more politicians in Trump's mold rather than what they call "Republicans In Name Only," more popularly known as RINOs. She also expressed her unhappiness with the state of Wyoming's GOP.
"I'm not necessarily super pleased with it," she said. "I really think that we need term limits, and we need to drain the swamp because after even our best politicians spend a few years in D.C., it seems like they become corrupt as well."
She feels that Trump's influence on the national Republican Party has been positive. She wants him to run again in 2024.
"Well, my hope is Trump," she said. "There are a few other good conservatives out there. I don't really have any names that come to mind right now, but just anybody who, I guess, isn't a corrupt Republican."
Mark Hanson, another Casperite, agrees that Trump has been a positive influence on the GOP. He wants to see the party change to a more Trumpian tone.
"I'd say probably it's about in the middle as far as his influence across the nation [and] the GOP [goes ]", he said. "We got a lot of RINOs in there that we need to get out of. Liz Cheney's one of them."
And while he said the former president's influence has been somewhat moderated nationwide, he felt like that was changing.
"I believe he's absolutely gaining, not only here in Wyoming but the rest of the country, because of the administration that we have with Biden and the clown show we have going on there," he said.
Trump is still his preferred candidate in 2024, though he has not formally announced whether he is running or not. And while many have speculated as to what might happen, Hanson said he thinks Trump will run again.
He ultimately wants Trump to run again in two years and is set on him as his preferred candidate, though he said he wouldn't mind having Florida governor Ron DeSantis be the Republican nominee if Trump chooses not to run.
Many rally attendees had made up their minds as to whom they wanted to see in the White House in 2024 and in Wyoming's lone U.S. House seat. But not all attendees were locked in on their candidate choices for the upcoming elections.
"I'm a conservative Republican, my wife is pretty much a Democrat, my daughters are super quadruple liberal, and yet we all break bread, we all get along, we don't let politics divide us," said Gale Roberts, who traveled from Pinedale for the event. "That's the problem in our country, we don't teach tolerance, we teach, 'If I disagree with you, then we're going to lock horns.'"
Trump has made many endorsements over his tenure in and out of the White House. And while some have benefited from his stamp of approval, others have failed to catch on with voters.
"My votes, I'm first and foremost an American, and I vote for who supports what I do. I don't care what anybody else tells me, I look at the candidate that supports my interests," Roberts explained. "I think that's what we should all do, right? His endorsements would not necessarily mean that much to me. The candidate I vote for is who I believe who should be a candidate, not who he [Trump] thinks should be the candidate."
Roberts said he voted for Trump in both 2016 and 2020 but that he hasn't yet determined who he might support in the U.S. House race. But whoever wins or loses, he hopes that there is a healing that can help be beneficial to the country.
The Wyoming primary election is set for Tuesday, Aug. 16. | https://www.wyomingpublicmedia.org/open-spaces/2022-06-10/as-primary-season-approaches-trump-holds-a-rally-in-casper-aiming-to-oust-liz-cheney-from-congress | 2022-06-12T21:07:32Z | https://www.wyomingpublicmedia.org/open-spaces/2022-06-10/as-primary-season-approaches-trump-holds-a-rally-in-casper-aiming-to-oust-liz-cheney-from-congress | true | 1 |

Special Report
American Towns Where the Most People Rent Their Homes
June 12, 2022 4:00 pm
A little over one-third of U.S. households live in rented homes. While many associate homeownership with economic stability, renting is often a safer choice, granting more flexibility. In addition, in cities across much of the country, for a large share of residents, particularly young ones, renting is the only financially feasible choice.
To determine the towns with the highest rental rates, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed five-year estimates of the share of housing units that are occupied by renters from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 American Community Survey. We defined towns as census places having at least 1,000 people and less than 25,000 people.
Nationwide, 35.6% of housing units are rental properties. Among the 50 cities on this list, that figure ranges from 90.8% to an estimated 100% of housing units. California has the most towns on this list, with eight, followed by Hawaii with five and Virginia with four.
According to the census, 23.2% of Americans are 18-34 years old. This age group accounts for a larger share of the population in all of the places on this list, and in the majority, for more than half the population. In the University of California-Davis census designated place, an unincorporated area home to the college campus of the same name, 93.9% of residents are 18-39. These are the colleges with the largest increase in applicants.
Population density is a factor in the share of housing units that are occupied by renters. In highly urban areas, a large share of residents live in multi-story rental buildings, rather than single-family homes. The U.S. population density is 93 people per square mile. Nearly all of the places on this list have higher population density, and half have the equivalent of at least 1,000 people per square mile.
This includes two places, Isla Vista, California, and Kaser, New York, which fall among the top five towns in the country in population per square mile. These are the nine cities with more than 20 million people.

To determine the towns with the highest rental rates, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed five-year estimates of the share of housing units that are occupied by renters from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 American Community Survey.
We used census “place” geographies — a category that includes incorporated legal entities and census-designated statistical entities. We defined towns based on population thresholds — having at least 1,000 people and less than 25,000 people.
Towns were ranked based on the percentage of housing units that are occupied by renters.
Additional information on median rental cost, median home value, and median household income are also five-year estimates from the 2020 ACS.

SINGAPORE – Silvana Gomez Juarez became the first Argentinian female to win in the octagon at UFC 275 – and she did it in just 82 seconds.
Juarez (11-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC) scored a blistering combination on Na Liang (13-6 MMA, 0-2 UFC) early in their strawweight fight at Singapore Indoor Stadium, putting herself in the UFC win column for the first time with a thrilling highlight.
Check out the replay of Juarez’s handiwork below (via Twitter):
After getting submitted in the first round in her first pair of octagon appearances, Juarez was able to change the narrative and get her hand raised this time around. She knew she could do it with her punching power.
“That was the plan,” Juarez told Daniel Cormier through an interpreter during her post-fight interview. “I knew she would come for the takedowns, and we could defend them and land with my hands. This win is for everyone.” | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/silvana-gomez-juarez-kos-na-liang-with-blistering-combo-in-just-82-seconds/220100/ | 2022-06-12T21:15:48Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/silvana-gomez-juarez-kos-na-liang-with-blistering-combo-in-just-82-seconds/220100/ | true | 1 |

Jammu: A security conference attended by senior Army and police officers in Jammu region’s Chenab valley called for increased synergy, interaction and coordination between the civil and military agencies for the success of the upcoming Amarnath Yatra, a defence spokesperson said on Sunday.
The meeting, jointly presided by the general officer commanding, Delta Force and Additional Director General of Police, Jammu Mukesh Singh, was held at the Dharmund Army Garrison in Ramban district on Saturday, he added.
The spokesperson said the meeting with the civil administration and police officials from Ramban and Kishtwar districts was held with the aim of increasing synergy, interaction and coordination between the civil and military agencies for the forthcoming pilgrimage.
The 43-day-long yatra to the 3,880-metre-high holy cave shrine of Amarnath is scheduled to start on June 30 from two routes — the traditional 48-km Nunwan route in south Kashmir’s Pahalgam and the 14-km shorter Baltal route in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal. The pilgrims pass through Ramban along the Jammu-Srinagar national highway to reach the base camps in the valley.
Among others who attended the meeting were the deputy inspector general of police, Doda, Kishtwar and Ramban, the Ramban SSP, the SSP (Traffic), the assistant commissioner (R&AW) and senior military officers of the region, the spokesperson said.
He said the interaction provided an opportunity for deliberations on important issues of mutual interest impacting the security of the region.
“All officials stressed the need for harmonious functioning of the government agencies to make the event successful,” the spokesperson said.
In view of the prevailing internal security situation, he said “an overview of the security was also undertaken to ensure complete synergy between all security agencies and the civil administration for a coordinated effort towards the achievement of the laid down goals”.

With active shooter situations seemingly making the headlines every day, the Camdenton Police Department converged on the Camdenton R3 School Campus for training they hope will never have to be used in the case of a real-life attack. Officers from neighboring communities also participated in Active Shooter and Single Officer Response training. The Missouri State University Public Safety Training Center hosted the activities, on Friday, that included the use of a Milo shooting simulator and other hands-on scenarios using airsoft. | https://www.krmsradio.com/camdenton-pd-participates-in-active-shooter-training/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=camdenton-pd-participates-in-active-shooter-training | 2022-06-12T21:26:34Z | https://www.krmsradio.com/camdenton-pd-participates-in-active-shooter-training/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=camdenton-pd-participates-in-active-shooter-training | false | null |
CHURCH HILL - Dorothy Ida Cunningham (Bass), 87, went home to Heaven on Friday, June 10, to be reunited with her parents, siblings, and late daughter, Diane.
Friends and family fondly knew Dorothy as Dot. She was a lifelong resident of Hawkins County and grew up on the family farm with her five siblings.
At the age of 23, Dorothy relocated with her late husband, Edward Cunningham, to New York City for ten years. They returned to Tennessee in 1967 with their three young children – Ronnie, Diane, and Brenda – in tow and vowed never to leave again.
Dorothy worked at the Eastman for 16 years and officially retired in 1995. She was a talented seamstress and crocheter, and a devoted member of New Life Missionary Baptist Church. She truly enjoyed being in the outdoors, gardening, and caring for her beautiful home in Church Hill. Dorothy was a faithful Christian, a fighter, a two-time cancer survivor, and a true testimony to a mother's love.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Edward Cunningham; her daughter, Diane Profaizer; her parents, William Harper (Harp) and Captolia (Cap) Horne Bass; her brothers, Pleas and William Bass; and her sisters, Virginia Noe and Ruby Carrroll Mooney.
Dorothy is survived by her son, Ronald Lee Housewright; her daughter, Brenda (John) Peoples; and her grandchildren, Steven Profaizer, Kristen (Daniel) DeCoff, and Corey and Brianna Peoples; along with two great-grandchildren, Myrah and Jack DeCoff; her brother, Ralph Bass; and many nieces and nephews.
A visitation will be held from 5:00 – 7:00 PM on Tuesday, June 14, 2022 at Johnson-Arrowood Funeral Home. A funeral service will be held at 7:00 PM in the funeral home chapel with Rev. Tim Johnson officiating. A graveside service will be held at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, June 15 at Miller Cemetery. Those wishing to attend the graveside service are asked to meet at the funeral home by 10:15 AM to go in procession.
Pallbearers will be family and friends.
Thank you to her church family, friends, and neighbors for their prayers and support. A special thanks to her niece, Susan Dykes, whose compassion, comfort, and help has meant so much to Dot, Ronnie, and all their friends and family.
Dorothy will be sorely missed by those who knew and loved her, and she has left a legacy of great faith, strength, and perseverance.

Brookings president resigns amid FBI foreign lobbying probe
(AP) - The president of the Brookings Institution resigned Sunday amid a federal investigation into whether he illegally lobbied on behalf of the wealthy Persian Gulf nation of Qatar.
Retired Gen. John Allen wrote in a letter to the think tank that he was leaving with a “heavy heart” but did not offer a direct explanation.
“I know it is best for all concerned in this moment,” Allen’s letter said.
A retired four-star Marine general who led U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, Allen’s announcement came less than a week after the Associated Press was first to report on new court filings that showed the FBI had seized Allen’s electronic data as part of the lobbying probe.
Allen has not been charged with any crimes and, through a spokesman, has denied any wrongdoing.

Authorities Arrest 31 Members Of White Supremacy Group Near Idaho Pride Event
Jun. 12 2022, Published 2:32 p.m. ET
Dozens of members of the white supremacy group Patriot Front were arrested just outside of an Idaho LGBTQ+ "Pride in the Park" event on Saturday, June 11.
The group was found hidden inside of the back of a U-Haul with riot gear. All of the members were dressed in matching ensembles made up of khaki pants, dark blue shirts, light brown hats and white balaclavas hiding their faces. They also wore arm patches and logos identifying themselves as members of the neo-fascist group.
Coeur d´Alene Police Chief Lee White stopped the moving truck and arrested the people involved before they could reach the event after police received a tip that "it looked like a little army was loading up" into a U-Haul earlier that afternoon.
White confirmed the arrests in a news conference, adding the authorities were also able to find "operations plans", shin guards and shields in the back of the truck.
"It is clear to us based on the gear that the individuals had with them, the stuff they had in their possession and in the U-Haul with them, along with paperwork that was seized from them, that they came to riot downtown," he continued.
White also noted the suspects were identified as coming from all over the United States, including: Washington, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Colorado, South Dakota, Illinois, Wyoming, Virginia, Arkansas, and one from Idaho, and all had ties to the same white supremacy organization.
Patriot Front is widely described as a "white nationalist hate group" that was started after the "Unite the Right" rallies in Charlottesville back in 2017.
All 31 people were charged with "conspiracy to riot." Their arraignment is scheduled for Monday, June 13.
"Law enforcement really came through today, and I think this is a really important message and also a healing message that's needed in this country," Jessica Mahuron, the outreach director at the North Idaho Pride Alliance, said per NPR. "I know that a lot of law enforcement members actually had to delay their vacations and this was stressful on all throughout the city." | https://radaronline.com/p/authorities-arrest-white-supremacy-group-idaho-pride-event/ | 2022-06-12T21:41:33Z | https://radaronline.com/p/authorities-arrest-white-supremacy-group-idaho-pride-event/ | false | 2 |

ATLANTA (AP) — Adam Duvall homered twice off José Quintana, William Contreras and Matt Olson also connected, and the Atlanta Braves won their 11th straight game, 5-3 over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
The defending World Series champion Braves began the day having trimmed five games off the New York Mets’ division lead since the winning streak started June 1. They were 5½ games back in the NL East.
This stretch is the club’s best since it won 14 in a row from July 26 to Aug. 9, 2013. During the streak, Atlanta has outscored opponents 74-30 with 22 homers. The pitching staff has a 2.32 ERA over the same span.
Pittsburgh has lost a season-high six straight games. The Pirates were swept for the fifth time this season.
Atlanta went back-to-back in the second when Contreras hit the left-field foul pole for his ninth homer and Duvall connected to left to make it 2-0.
Olson hit his eighth homer in the eighth, pushing the lead to 5-3 against Chase De Jong.
Pittsburgh pulled within 2-1 in the third on Bryan Reynolds’ sacrifice fly. Reynolds’ two-run homer off Kyle Wright, his former Vanderbilt teammate and roommate, cut the lead to 4-3 in the fifth.
Reynolds has hit safely in his last seven games on the road for a .500 average with two doubles and four homers.
Contreras doubled in the fourth and crossed the plate when Duvall hit his sixth homer, an opposite-field shot to right-center, to put Atlanta up 4-1. Duvall has 11 multihomer games in his career.
Quintana (1-4) was charged with six hits and four runs in five innings and had allowed two runs or fewer in nine of his previous 11 starts. The Braves are 16-6 against lefty starters and have won their last 11 games against them.
Wright (7-3) allowed five hits and three runs with two walks and seven strikeouts in six innings. Wright, who was coming off a career-high eight innings in a win over Oakland last Tuesday, had a 1.69 ERA over his previous five starts. He ranked second in the NL with a .192 opponents’ batting average.
Will Smith faced the minimum in the seventh for Atlanta, A.J. Minter pitched to three batters in the eighth and Kenley Jansen earned his 18th save in 21 chances after facing four batters in the ninth.
The Braves have won seven straight at home against the Pirates, outscoring them 55-13. Atlanta has won the season series with Pittsburgh the last four years they have played.
SELECT COMPANY
Reynolds began the day with a .376 career average in 58 June games. With a minimum of 200 June plate appearances since 1901, Reynolds’ average this month trails only Joe Jackson (.381) and Lou Gehrig (.378).
TRAINER’S ROOM
In rehab appearances Saturday with Triple-A Indianapolis, Pirates RHP Heath Hembree (right calf strain) allowed two runs and one hit in one inning, and RHP Nick Mears (elbow) struck out two in one inning.
UP NEXT
Braves RHP Ian Anderson (5-3, 4.53 ERA) is on the mound as Atlanta begins a three-game series at Washington.
Pirates RHP Mitch Keller (2-5, 5.26) will start as Pittsburgh opens a four-game series at St. Louis.

To the Editor:
This whole discussion of assault rifles is filled with emotion, misleading information, outright false information and propaganda. Many democrats want to eliminate guns altogether. They tend to spin the Second Amendment to make it fit their desires. Let’s look at the facts:
1: The Second Amendment (if you read the Federalist papers) was enacted because our founding fathers wanted a check against the threat of a totalitarian government. It gave us the right to keep and bear arms. President Biden makes the ridiculous observation that we can’t own a cannon. No one wants to own a cannon. We can’t own a jet fighter either. However, we can own a gun to use for sport or for protection.
We can’t own a machine gun or a bazooka. Those are weapons of war. The democrats and gun control people want to try to classify most legally owned guns as “weapons of war” so they can have them confiscated. An assault weapon is a weapon that is fully automatic, like a machine gun. The AR15 is a semi-automatic firing gun and is not a weapon of war. It may look like a weapon of war but it isn’t. However, President Biden and other democrats would have you believe it is a weapon of war.
2: There are millions of guns in the United States. Most families own at least one gun for protection. There are many gun enthusiasts who own many guns they use for hunting and sport. They don’t shoot people. Mentally ill and evil people use guns and bombs and knives to kill innocent people. This is not a gun issue, it’s a mental health issue.

Tundra wildfire creeps closer toward Alaska Native community
A tundra wildfire continued to creep closer to an Alaska Native community in southwest Alaska, but mandatory evacuations have not been ordered, fire officials said Sunday.
The East Fork fire was within 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers) of St. Mary’s, a statement from Alaska Wildland Fire Information said.
Even though it had moved 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) closer to the Yup’ik community since Saturday, fire managers said the progress has slowed somewhat because of favorable weather conditions. The temperatures were slightly cooler with rising humidity, which could help moderate fire conditions. However, winds are expected to remain steady out of the north, helping move the fire toward populated areas.
The fire is burning in dry grass and shrubs like alder and willow in the mostly treeless tundra in southwest Alaska. The fire was started by lightning May 31.
Firefighters are working to strengthen primary and secondary fire lines protecting St. Mary’s and the nearby communities of Pitkas Point and Mountain Village and properties, including cabins, between them. No structures have been lost in the fire.
The fire is also 10 miles (16 kilometers) from another community, Pilot Station. Firefighters were expected to evaluate options of opening a preexisting fire line around that community.
Another fire northwest of the East Fork fire is growing, but it still about 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of Mountain Village.
There are 204 personnel working the East Fork fire, which has grown to 190 square miles (492 square kilometers). Additional personnel are expected to arrive Monday, when even more favorable weather conditions are also expected, including increased cloud cover, higher humidity and cooler temperatures. Officials also said the front may switch the wind direction to the southwest, which would help push the fire away from villages.
Even though there are no mandatory evacuations, the combined 700 residents of St. Mary’s and Pitkas Point, located about 10 miles (16 kilometers) south, have been on alert since Friday to prepare for possible evacuation.
Nearly 150 residents from the affected communities have already temporarily relocated to the southwest Alaska hub community of Bethel.
St. Mary’s is located about 450 miles (724 kilometers) west of Anchorage. | https://thehill.com/news/ap/ap-u-s-news/tundra-wildfire-creeps-closer-toward-alaska-native-community/ | 2022-06-12T21:56:40Z | https://thehill.com/news/ap/ap-u-s-news/tundra-wildfire-creeps-closer-toward-alaska-native-community/ | true | 31 |
Man found injured at burning house near Gilbert Road and Ray Road
A man was taken to the hospital after being found injured at a burning house Saturday night near Gilbert Road and Ray Road.
Police responded to the area around 9 p.m. after a caller reported they heard someone in distress at a residence, according to Gilbert police. The caller also said they could smell smoke coming from the house.
First responders heard someone in the garage and were able to get the man out, according to Mark Justus, a spokesperson with Gilbert Fire and Rescue Department. Justus said he heard reports of the man having punctures and scrapes but he is not sure about the extent of his injuries. He was taken to the hospital, according to officials.
Media outlets have reported the man had stab wounds but police haven't confirmed this to The Arizona Republic.
Fire crews initiated an "aggressive fire attack" on the residence, Justus said, and they got the active fires under control.
Gilbert police are investigating the cause of the fires and the circumstances behind the man's injuries.

Charlize Theron is a superhero. She’s already proven this twice in the past six weeks, debuting her Marvel Cinematic Universe character Clea in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” and making a more subversive super-cameo in the season 3 premiere of “The Boys.”
But her real superpower was on display Saturday night on the Universal Studios backlot in Los Angeles, where she hosted a block party celebrating the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project’s 15th anniversary.
Theron was fresh off a flight from Rome where she’s in production on Netflix’s “The Old Guard 2,” making the 6,000-mile journey to celebrate the milestone in person. While most people would’ve needed an intravenous coffee drip, Theron was energized by the mission of the organization, which focuses on fighting the HIV epidemic in the actor’s native South Africa.
“The world is constantly changing and you have to be able to exist in a space where you can really pivot to what’s happening in the world,” Theron told Variety on the red carpet.
“The thing I’m really the most proud is that we’ve built organization in a way where it can really serve as people, when there’s emergency need, when there’s COVID relief needed, when it goes outside of the foundation of what we really do because, at the end of the day, we can’t tell our organizations we’ll just wait for this to pass,” she explained. “I’m really proud of the fact that given all the challenges that we’ve seen in the world, we’ve really been able to still service on-the-ground organizations.”
The founder saluted her friends and former co-stars, like Sofia Boutella (“Atomic Blonde”) and Jordana Brewster (the “Fast” franchise, including the upcoming “Fast X”), who showed up to support the organization.
“It’s people who’ve been with us from our origin,” Theron said. “That speaks volumes to volumes to the connection that our story, our narrative and the organization has. Our foundation really taps into people’s understanding, the real need for what we’re servicing, and that’s why they keep showing up and so I’m grateful for that. You can’t do this without a community.”
Theron also teased what to expect from the “Old Guard” sequel, which begins filming next week with newly announced cast members Uma Thurman and Henry Golding. In addition to rocking a new jet black mullet for the role, Theron shared plans to up the ante on the action for round two.
“I’m excited about our team coming back and having had all this time to really think about what we want the next story to be,” she shared. “It’s a big ask to want everybody involved to do action that’s raising the bar of what we did last time. It takes time and energy and effort and everybody has put that forth. I want to see the fruits of that labor.”
Before jumping back into “The Old Guard,” Theron recently wrapped production on “Fast X,” where she reprises her role as the criminal mastermind Cipher. Theron’s responsibilities took place at the beginning of the production schedule, where she shot alongside the franchise’s newest villain, played by Jason Momoa.
“It was just really nice to get to work with Jason. He was so lovely,” Theron said. “And I get to do some different things in it, so I’m really excited about that. It’s a different Cipher.”
Reminded that, last year, Vin Diesel told Variety‘s Marc Malkin that he’s got writers working on a spin-off for the character, Theron quipped, “Listen, the man has pulled off this incredible franchise, so I wouldn’t put on anything past him. But he’s gotta hurry up because I need a hip replacement.”
She’d also need to find time in your extremely full dance card. In addition to her upcoming roles in “The Old Guard 2” and “Fast X,” Theron is still riding high off her cameo appearances in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” and “The Boys.” But which of the two pop-culture moments came first?
“Seth [Rogen, ‘The Boys’ executive producer] asked me a while back, and I will lay my body over broken glass for that guy and all of his partners at Point Gray, I absolutely love them, and we look after each other,” Theron said of her “Long Shot” co-star. “I love the show. I think it’s really smart.”
Then Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige called to offer the mid-credits scene cameo in — a role that indicates a lengthy future in the MCU — Theron mentioned she’d already shot for “The Boys.”
“I was very transparent, and they were just like, ‘This is great,'” she recalled. “I mean, [‘The Boys’ is] a satire. I think there’s room for everything, and it doesn’t mean anything other than people are interested in these kind of worlds right now.”
After wrapping up the red carpet, Theron switched from interviewee to interviewer, moderating a Q&A with the team behind “Jurassic World Dominion” — director Colin Trevorrow, stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Jeff Goldblum, DeWanda Wise and Mamoudou Athie, and co-screenwriter Emily Carmichael. Following the conversation, attendees — including Universal Pictures chairman Donna Langley, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and “We’re Here” star Eureka O’Hara, Angelique Cabral, Mary McCormack and The Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. — enjoyed a live set from Wyclef Jean, who got the crowd (including Theron) up on stage dancing to some of his biggest hits before the credits rolled on an open-air screening of the blockbuster movie. | https://variety.com/2022/scene/news/charlize-theron-africa-outreach-project-old-guard-doctor-strange-the-boys-1235291868/ | 2022-06-12T21:57:48Z | https://variety.com/2022/scene/news/charlize-theron-africa-outreach-project-old-guard-doctor-strange-the-boys-1235291868/ | false | 1 |

The Martin Scorsese of street rap — that's how Pusha T sees himself these days.
The Virginia Beach, Va. artist — government name Terrence LeVarr Thornton — has grounds to do so. He first rose through the ranks of hip-hop in the '90s and early 2000s in the group Clipse with his brother, who now performs as No Malice. Then in 2010, Pusha T broke out as a solo artist, signing to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label. This year, his newest album It's Almost Dry became his first to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
From the road, Pusha T joined NPR's Ayesha Rascoe to discuss the making of the record, spurring competition between producers Pharrell Williams and West and staying on top of a decades-long career in hip-hop.
The following interview has been condensed and edited. To listen to the audio version, click the link above.
Ayesha Rascoe, Weekend Edition: I want to start off with that Martin Scorsese comparison. Martin Scorsese is known for making gangster movies, and you're known for rapping about selling cocaine. You've even called yourself "cocaine's Dr. Seuss." What's that parallel you're drawing there?
Pusha T: Basically, of course there are times in Scorsese's [filmography] where he ventures off from gangster films, but for the majority Scorsese makes a very particular type of movie that culturally we all have gravitated towards. And he does it very well. It's iconic. I look at my rhymes and my content and my music and my discography the same way — I do something very specific and I do it very, very well.
I'm listening to you, I'm listening to Jay-Z, I'm listening to [other rappers] — and I love the wordplay. I'm feeling the energy of it.
I think a lot of it is energy and aspiration. Rap — this is a whole lifestyle. This is a whole culture. Rap teaches you how to live and aspire. Man, it teaches you how to dress sometimes. There are so many different avenues and so many other things that you can take away from an album like It's Almost Dry. And I would say aspiration is one.
Turning to It's Almost Dry, where does that name come from?
It speaks to art and creating a masterpiece. Everyone's always waiting on that masterpiece and you always have to tell them that it's almost dry, it's almost ready.
Half of the album is produced by Pharrell Williams, who you've been making music with since the very beginning of your career. The other half is produced by Kanye West, who was a huge part of you [branching out] as a solo artist. How does working with both of them differ?
I would say that me and Kanye connect very deeply on very, purist, obscure hard samples — hard drums. Very minimal. He likes to treat my voice like an instrument. He loves mixtape Pusha T. He loves that, so he makes records that lean heavy in that vein.
Pharrell is always trying to turn me into a character. He definitely is big on composition and the actual songwriting — cadence, flows, melodies. [He's] always trying to turn even the darkest or hardest of records into some level of hit, you know? That's the difference between those two to me.
Was it kind of like a competition, because you had half and half? Was it fun?
It turned very competitive. And mind you, I'm doing this album really between Miami, Florida and LA. I could get in the groove and catch a record and fly to Miami to be with Pharrell, then fly to LA and be like, "Look what we did." And Kanye will perk up and be like "Oh really? That's what y'all on? Okay." Boom — before I know it, he's throwing me beats like, "Take this. Finish this." Then I go back to Miami and say, "He heard that — and he gave me this." I just start pitting the two energies versus each other the whole time.
Then it got to a point where, for "Rock N Roll" featuring Kid Cudi, Kanye himself couldn't find the drums that he liked for the record. He was like, "Man, take this to Pharrell. Tell him to put some drums on it. I want to hear his drums on it." That was the one record that they actually collaborated on. With that being said, there were other people who were trying to find drums, and I would be playing it and Kanye would walk in and spaz out. He'd be like "What is that? Throw all those drums away, I don't wanna hear nobody's drums but Pharrell's drums on this record."
Kanye can be controversial, to say the least.
Very much so.
Does that ever affect the making of the music, or do you ever pull him aside on a personal level and go, "Hey, Ye — maybe pull back a little bit?"
We talk about everything that goes on with him. I always lend him an ear, and I always speak to him and give my opinions. Kanye is just who he is, though. He has a very strong personality. He just wants what he wants, and he wants it a particular way. We definitely bump heads or disagree about quite a few things, but I think that where we're compatible is that he knows that I'm just giving him my honest point of view. When he speaks to me, he's like "Man, when I talk to you, I actually get to look at things outside of myself."
I want to ask you about the song, "Call My Bluff." I know you were talking about getting into character. You were watching Joaquin Phoenix's Joker movie a lot working on that song. Tell me about that process.
You know Pharrell just thinks that me becoming a character is the next level to my career. He feels like I've been a quintessential rapper the whole time, but yet I haven't really tapped into a character. So we would watch Joker and he'd be like, "Man this is who you are! You laugh at things you're not even supposed to be laughing at. This is you."
I'm like, "Damn bro, that's what you think about your man?" So we started actually watching the movie, right? And then it turned into us watching the movie on silent, and he would make music to the energy of the TV. It tells you the energy that you're supposed to be in. That's how we continued to create his portion of the album.
You have longevity in hip-hop. What do you think longevity looks like for hip-hop artists right now? Because there was a long time where rappers really didn't have that long span of being popular and they would get older and get pushed aside. But now it's different, right? Everybody's like, who's going to be the Rolling Stones for hip-hop?
Well that's my goal. My goal is to see how far I can really take this competitively. I don't want to just exist in rap or just make records that aren't considered classics. It's funny you mentioned the Rolling Stones as a group, but in talking about this, Rolling Stone just made a top 200 list of hip-hop albums of all time, and I was on that list three times. I want to keep making albums that will end up on all of these lists. If I stop making albums that don't garner that type of fanfare or attention, then I don't want to make music anymore.

Look: Bubba Wallace Reacts To Sunday's Crushing Finish
It was a tough Sunday at Sonoma for Bubba Wallace in the Toyota Save Mart 350.
After getting off to a decent start, a blown engine ultimately did him in, forcing his No. 23 Toyota to finish 36th.
Speaking on the matter afterwards, Bubba said:
I don't know what happened. I was running an OK race. Was about to complain about a lack of rear grip and she just blew up. I tried to replay every lap, never went the wrong way. Got hung up in 2nd one time, but I don't know. Sucks.
... We just haven't had any luck at all this season. But we're the first ones to enjoy the off weekend, I guess.
Unfortunately, it's been one thing after another this season for Wallace and the 23XI team.
It only took 10 laps for Wallace's engine to give way.
It's never been an issue of speed for Bubba, but with Sunday's early finish, he'll be in desperate need of a win to make the cut for the playoffs. | https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/look-bubba-wallace-reacts-to-sundays-crushing-finish | 2022-06-12T22:13:11Z | https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/look-bubba-wallace-reacts-to-sundays-crushing-finish | false | 1 |

Canadian police are investigating a possible risk to national security that forced parliament to lock down for several hours on Saturday after border agents warned of a bomb threat, a government source said on Sunday.
The intelligence branch of the border agency on Saturday warned that vehicles near parliament could be laden with explosives, according to the source, who was not authorized to speak on the record.
Ottawa police on Saturday said they had located "two vehicles of interest and two persons of interest", without elaborating, and said there was no threat to public safety.
No charges against the two individuals have yet been announced.
However, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's (RCMP) special Integrated National Security Enforcement Team, which investigates threats to national security, has opened a probe, the source said.
"It is still unclear how serious the threat was," said the source, who has been briefed on the investigation.
The RCMP declined to confirm or deny the news, first reported late on Saturday by Global News TV, which said a "major" national security investigation was underway.
"For privacy and operational reasons, the RCMP does not confirm, deny, or release information relating to criminal investigations unless or until charges are laid," an RCMP spokesman said in a statement.
Tensions in Ottawa's parliamentary precinct have been high since hundreds of trucks and vehicles blocked the area for three weeks earlier this year. The protest was against what demonstrators saw as government overreach during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The road that runs in front of parliament has never fully reopened since the protest to prevent vehicles from parking along it.

NEW YORK, June 12 (Reuters) - American Christian Coleman won the men's 100 metres in 9.92 seconds and Aleia Hobbs overcame compatriot Sha'Carri Richardson in the women's 100 metres at the NYC Grand Prix on Sunday.
The reigning world champion Coleman, who returned to action in January after serving an 18-month suspension for breaching anti-doping whereabouts rules, said he was pleased after finishing under 10 seconds in the event for the first time this year.
"I felt like that was a really good race," said Coleman, who took third at the Prefontaine Classic last month.

"I felt a lot better in the second half of my race than I did last time - and I feel like that was really all that I was missing."
Jamaican Ackeem Blake finished second and American Marvin Bracy took third.
With throngs of young fans cheering her name outside the media zone, Richardson said she was thrilled to produce a 10.85 in her third 100m race of the season, even after Tokyo relay silver medallist Hobbs muscled her way to the top of the podium in 10.83.
"I feel phenomenal," she told reporters. "I feel fantastic."
American Teahna Daniels finished third.
A final tuneup ahead of the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, the track on Randall's Island experienced speedy times under windy conditions.
American Devon Allen produced a world-leading 12.84 seconds to overcome world champion Grant Holloway by more than two-tenths of a second in the men's 110m hurdles.
"I thought I was going to break the world record today, so we'll have to wait for another race," said twice Olympian Allen, who is juggling a career in the National Football League (NFL) with his athletic ambitions.
Elsewhere at the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event, twice world bronze medallist Ajee Wilson won the women's 800m in 2:00.62.

ST. ALBANS, England — Former Masters champion Charl Schwartzel banked $4.75 million on Saturday by winning the richest tournament in golf history, while the event’s Saudi backers faced renewed backlash after a 9/11 victims’ group called for American players to withdraw from the rebel series.
Schwartzel held on for a one-shot victory at the inaugural LIV Golf event outside London to secure the $4 million prize for the individual victory — along with another $750,000 from his share of the $3 million purse earned by his four-man Stinger team for topping the team rankings.
Schwartzel collected more prize money from winning the three-day, 54-hole event than he had from the last four years combined. Not that it could match the sense of sporting achievement that he felt after his win at Augusta National in 2011.
“Money is one thing but there you’re playing for prestige, history,” he said. “Winning a major will always top anything you do.”
This hefty pay check has come at a cost to Schwartzel’s career status, having resigned his membership of the PGA Tour to play on the unsanctioned series without a waiver.
“Never in my wildest dreams did I think we could play for that much money in golf,” Schwartzel, who had not won a PGA or European tour event since 2016, told the crowd.
Pressed in the news conference, he dismissed criticism of the windfall coming from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund.
“Where the money comes from is not something ... that I’ve ever looked at playing in my 20 years career,” the South African said. “I think if I start digging everywhere where we played, you could find fault in anything.”
Fellow South African Hennie Du Plessis, who was selected for Stinger by team captain Louis Oosthuizen in the draft, earned $2.875 million by finishing second at Centurion Club, located between Hemel Hempstead and St. Albans.
Schwartzel entered the final day with a three-shot lead and did just enough to hold off Du Plessis despite finishing with a 2-over 72 for a 7-under total of 203.
It is the first of eight events in the first year of LIV Golf, which began against the backdrop of the PGA Tour banning players who signed up. The European tour has yet to comment on any sanctions for players who jumped to the series without its approval.
Twenty players have now defected from the PGA Tour, with Patrick Reed the latest former Masters champion confirmed on Saturday as signing up to LIV Golf as the final round was being completed.
However, the lucrative rewards for joining the Public Investment Fund-backed series have not been enough to entice any players ranked in the world’s top 10.
Reed, who has won almost $37 million in a decade on the PGA Tour, is ranked 36th. The 31-year-old American’s only major win was the 2018 Masters.
Having appeared at three Ryder Cups, where he has been one of the brashest characters on the American team, Reed’s decision could see him ineligible for selection in the future.
Reed said he would make his debut on the second stop of the LIV Golf series in Portland, Oregon, on June 30-July 2.
Pat Perez, the 46-year-old American who is ranked 168th in the world, also joined the breakaway on Saturday, saying he wants to travel less after 21 years on the PGA Tour.
Saudi Arabia’s track record of human rights violations has sparked criticism from groups, including Amnesty International, that the country is “sportswashing” its image by investing in signing up sports stars.
LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman, who would not speak to the media at the event, called the series a “force for good” in a speech at the victory ceremony, without addressing criticism of the Saudi project.
LIV Golf plays up the financial largesse. Yasir Al-Rumayyan, governor of PIF, said on stage that there would be a prize of $54 million for any player who could hit an implausible 54 at a LIV event.
For many in the United States, Saudi Arabia will forever be associated with the collapse of the World Trade Towers and the deaths of nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001. All but four of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudi citizens, and the Saudi kingdom was the birthplace of Osama bin Laden, the head of al-Qaida and mastermind of the attack.
Terry Strada, the national chairperson of 9/11 Families United, has sent a letter to representatives of LIV Golf stars calling on them to reconsider their participation in the series. Her husband, Tom, died when a hijacked plane flew into the World Trade Center.
“Given Saudi Arabia’s role in the death of our loved ones and those injured on 9/11 — your fellow Americans — we are angered that you are so willing to help the Saudis cover up this history in their request for ‘respectability,’” Strada wrote, accusing the players of betraying U.S. interests.
Strada’s letter was sent to agents for Reed as well as Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau and Kevin Na.
“When you partner with the Saudis, you become complicit with their whitewash, and help give them the reputational cover they so desperately crave — and are willing to pay handsomely to manufacture,” Strada wrote.
“The Saudis do not care about the deep-rooted sportsmanship of golf or its origins as a gentleman’s game built upon core values of mutual respect and personal integrity. They care about using professional golf to whitewash their reputation, and they are paying you to help them do it.”
Victims’ families are trying to hold Saudi Arabia accountable in New York, despite its government’s insistence that any allegation of complicity in the terrorist attacks is “categorically false.” | https://www.avpress.com/sports/schwartzel-wins-richest-golf-event-amid-saudi-outcry/article_5c87152e-ea19-11ec-bc03-dfe59a0907d9.html | 2022-06-12T22:23:21Z | https://www.avpress.com/sports/schwartzel-wins-richest-golf-event-amid-saudi-outcry/article_5c87152e-ea19-11ec-bc03-dfe59a0907d9.html | true | 23 |
GOP Congresswoman Lauren Boebert Jokes About Biden’s Demise At Church Event

Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., speaks to reporters as members of the House Second Amendment Caucus criticize a series of Democratic measure to curb gun violence in the wake of the mass shootings at a school in Uvalde, Texas, and a grocery in Buffalo, N.Y., at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, June 8, 2022.

U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) joked about President Joe Biden’s demise during a recent church event in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
While speaking at the Family Camp Meeting event at Charis Christian Center, Boebert said she “prays for our President” while butchering the Psalms 109:8 Bible verse, “May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.”
Instead of saying, “another take his place of leadership,” Boebert jokingly said, “another take his place of office,” amid laughter and applause from the attendees. Boebert then shouted, “Hallelujah! Glory to God!
A clip of the event, which was posted on Twitter by the left-wing platform Patriot Takes, has been viewed over 930,000 times.

Neither Charis Christian Center nor Lauren Boebert immediately responded to HuffPost’s requests for comment Sunday.
The Republican congresswoman has been involved in recent public blunders, including a recent appearance on Fox News where she said gun control isn’t effective in preventing future mass shootings because “when 9/11 happened, we didn’t ban planes.”
“I want our schools secured,” she continued. “I want our children protected, and I want teachers that can protect themselves and their students. And you know what? We can achieve this without trying to disarm law-abiding citizens.”
She also criticized companies who are willing to pay travel costs for their employees to have abortions.
“Anyone else consider that these companies suddenly offering to pay for employee abortions are doing so just to avoid paying for maternity leave?” she questioned on Twitter. “Cheaper to kill the baby... true evil personified.”
Boebert is currently under investigation by Colorado officials for manipulating mileage numbers during her 2020 Congressional District campaign trail and using donor payments to pay off tax liens attached to her restaurant, “Shooters Grill,” in Rifle, Colorado, according to The New York Times.

Smackdown Sunday.
The Yankees absolutely demolished the Cubs, 18-4, at Yankee Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The early forecast called for rain, but the Yankees’ bats made it pour all over Chicago en route to a three-game series sweep.
The Yankees are off Monday. On Tuesday, they face the Rays to kick off a stretch of 20 games without an off day.
For Yankee tickets visit: VividSeats, Ticketmaster and StubHub
The team has won 11 of their last 12 games. They sit at 44-16 through their first 60 games. They began the day with an eight-game lead in the American League East.
They got an absolute offensive onslaught to back up right-hander Jameson Taillon, who went five innings and gave up three runs.
Matt Carpenter drove in seven runs thanks to a pair of homers and a double. Carpenter wasn’t In the original starting lineup, but Gleyber Torres was sick and needed the day off. He started at third base for the first time since joining the Yankees and made a sweet diving play late in the game.
Kyle Higashioka also slugged two homers, including a ninth-inning blast off infielder Frank Schwindel, who pitched because the game was essentially over.
The Yankees went 10-for-16 with runners in scoring position a day after throttling the Cubs in a 8-1 win with six solo shots.
Manny Banuelos picked up his first career save, throwing the final three innings and giving up one run. Miguel Castro chucked a scoreless sixth inning.
After Ian Happ’s first-inning, two-out homer, the Yankees immediately dropped five runs.
Batting leadoff, Aaron Judge singled, and then Giancarlo Stanton and DJ LeMahieu each worked two-out walks to load the bags for Matt Carpenter, who drew a full-count walk to tie the game. Then Isiah Kiner-Falefa ripped a liner in a 2-1 count to the right-field corner, and it bounced over the wall. Two runs scored on the ground-rule double.
In the next at-bat, the Cubs looked completely helpless, with four infielders converging on Marwin Gonzalez’s pop up in front of the plate. Third baseman Patrick Wisdom dropped it and Gonzalez was safe at first. That set up Joey Gallo, with two outs, to double over the head of right fielder Jayson Heyward and off the wall to bring in two more runs.
Matt Carpenter’s three-run blast highlighted the second inning. It happened after Stanton and LeMahieu each drew one-out walks. It was Carpenter’s fifth blast with the Yankees, and it came in his first game playing the field in pinstripes. Jose Trevino (back) was also scratched in favor of Kyle Higashioka, who solo homered in the third inning to left field to give the Yankees a 9-1 lead.
It was Higashioka’s first home run of the season after he led the Grapefruit League in homers. His teammates ignored him for several seconds in the dugout before converging on him in celebration. Stanton’s two-out double brought in the Yankees’ 10th run later in the inning.
The Yankees put up five runs in the seventh inning. Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton each hit RBI doubles, and then Carpenter crushed an RBI double to right field. Kiner-Falefa then drove in a run with a single to the left side.

This Saturday night I had the most wonderful pleasure to experience a six course degustation menu by Executive Chef Dimitrios Dimitriadis at Artisanal in Kifisia, paired with a delightful salted caramel whisky and lemon peel cocktail!
I started with freshly baked “Ladenia” bread, accompanied with black garlic butter and extra virgin olive oil. My first course was Nigiri with marinated Palamida fish with tomato confit, mint mayo and rice that was induced with the same flavour that we get when eating mamas homemade, delicious “Gemista”.
Second plate was a Tomato Salad from bio tomatoes from Messinia, onion pickle, carob powder, sorbet pepper from Florina and “Stamnotyri” from Kaidatzis cheese factory. Next one, was my old time favourite artichoke from Tinos island, combined with almond-garlic cream, white grape and Pecorino cheese from Amfilochia. Fourth course was handmade herbs Cretan pasta with red, little sweet, scorched shrimps from a local Peloponese fisherman. These little shrimps are not very easy to find, since they come out only a few times a year. Next dish was my personal favourite cassava croacker, with purple amaranth, parsley root puree and Ala Spetsiota sauce. Divine!
Last but not least and in order to have my mouth palette refreshed, I enjoyed a strawberry meringue desert, with white chocolate, lemon yoghurt froth, basil juice and strawberry with basil sorbet!
Executive Chef Dimitrios Dimitriadis and Artisanal have acquired over the years many distinguished awards and they are so worth them. Just give it a try …

It may be several years before fans see another installment of the Jurassic Park series, as its second trilogy has come to an end with Jurassic World Dominion. The film brought back the original characters Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler and Ian Malcolm to team up with Owen Grady and Claire Deering as they all sought to destroy the corrupt Biosyn Genetics.
Interestingly, whether it’s the plot of the original movie, in which the characters are trapped in Jurassic Park, or the last one, which takes place around the world, there are certain elements in each part that are the same. It’s interesting to see how one Jurassic Park movie is essentially the same as another, even with different events taking place in them, and he studies this more deeply.
T-Rex is chasing someone
T-rex is the mascot of the Jurassic Park franchise, featured in every movie. While the original Tyrannosaurus rex, Rexy, skipped the second and third entries, there were still other members of her species who played the role of the main terrorist for the main characters.
The Tyrannosaurus chase scene in the original film remains iconic, it was repeated in Jurassic World when Rexy was chasing Claire. There was a Tyrannosaurus cameo in Jurassic Park III, but he was still chasing the heroes until he was killed by Spinosaurus. There was a variation of this trope in Jurassic World Dominion, as Rexy was chasing a giganotosaurus, not humans.
The theme of unethical technological progress against nature
This is one of the areas where the Jurassic World films have fared better than Jurassic Park, as this aspect is the main premise in the new trilogy. However, every entry in the series is dedicated to the ethical issues of using genetics to create life that has naturally died out.
Jurassic Park III paid the least attention to this, but the opening of the InGen facility, where they “played God”, also raised this issue. The Jurassic World movies used this to a greater extent when villains created monstrous dinosaurs like Indominus Rex and Indoraptor for nefarious reasons.
The Theme Of Jurassic Park Is Heard
Among the many references to Jurassic Park present in Jurassic World Dominion was the musical theme of the franchise, which could be heard in every recording. In the Jurassic Park trilogy, this theme was used to denote something important happening during a scene, or to denote the climax of a movie.
In the Jurassic World trilogy, this musical theme is included solely for nostalgic reasons — it sounds every time there is a reference to the events of the Jurassic Park films. Jurassic World Dominion used this track the least, but it stirred when Alan Grant was introduced as a way to refer to his role as the protagonist of the original film.
The ending is a broad plan
The ending of the film “Jurassic Park” is designed to leave the audience with a sense of surprise, which is achieved thanks to a broad plan tuned to an optimistic melody. The first and third films end with general shots of helicopters heading towards the horizon after the heroes escape, while in all the other films the dinosaurs look at the environment.
This determined whether the film has an uplifting or depressing ending: endings such as Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom show Blue exploring the human world, and happy endings such as The Lost World contain a pterodactyl on an island along with the rest of the characters. dinosaurs.
The main cast survives
Fans should remember important plot points of the Jurassic Park movie before watching the next one, because the characters are brought forward. It boils down to the fact that the main characters never die in this series, which is remarkable for a franchise of six films.
The films have victims of the main secondary characters, such as Eddie Carr and Udeski, but the main group of main characters survives 100%. Jurassic World Dominion reinforced this aspect by uniting all the heroes of the series and not killing any of them.
At least one child confronts dinosaurs
There are many brave children in the Jurassic Park series, and in each part there is at least one child-the main character. Moreover, children have to fight directly with dinosaurs, and the episodes are dedicated to demonstrating their struggle for survival against these creatures.
In the first film, Lex and Tim were running away from predators; in the second, Kelly was really fighting a predator; in the third, Eric survived on the island alone. In Jurassic World, Claire’s nephews defeat several dinosaurs, and in the last two entries, Macy ran away from dinosaurs such as Indoraptor and Biosin.
Romantic tension between two characters
The Jurassic Park series has never put a romantic angle as the main argument in favor of selling. However, some characters always have some kind of romantic tension every time. It all started with Alan and Ellie in the original, Ian and Sarah took a place in the sequel, and Kirby — in the third part. | https://www.somagnews.com/10-things-that-happen-in-every-jurassic-park-movie/ | 2022-06-12T22:36:28Z | https://www.somagnews.com/10-things-that-happen-in-every-jurassic-park-movie/ | false | 1 |

Youri Tielemans remains relaxed over his future amid speculation that he could leave Leicester for Premier League rivals Arsenal.
The Belgium midfielder has one year left on his Leicester contract but has been strongly linked to the Gunners, with boss Mikel Arteta keen to strengthen his squad this summer.
Tielemans told Belgian publication Het Belang van Limburg in March that he was happy at Leicester before adding he would “study my options in the summer and make a decision”.
He scored for Belgium in their 1-1 Nations League draw with Wales on Saturday and was asked about his future after the game.
Asked if he had any worries about his future, Tielemans, who has made 158 appearances since joining Leicester from Monaco in 2019, replied: “No, not at all and I don’t think this is the moment and place to discuss that.
“I have expressed myself on that before and there is nothing new.”
Tielemans’ goal at the Cardiff City Stadium was his fifth for Belgium in 51 appearances and his first at international level since November 2020.
The 25-year-old, scorer of the Wembley wonder strike that won Leicester the FA Cup in 2021, has vowed to add more goals to his game.
“At the moment that is the best one,” Tielemans said of his cup final winner against Chelsea 13 months ago.
“Hopefully I have got still a bit more years ahead of me, so maybe there will be another one that will come like that.
“If I can add more goals to my game then, of course, it will help the team more and I will be happy.
“With the national team we always play with a different system than we play at Leicester.
“The manager (Roberto Martinez) has asked me to try and join in the attacks sometimes when I feel I can do that.
“It is different and adapting myself. I just need to adapt tactically.”
Tielemans says he is hungry to win trophies at club level, just like his countryman Kevin De Bruyne has done at Manchester City.
Belgium team-mate De Bruyne has won 10 major trophies under Pep Guardiola at City, including four Premier League titles.
“That is just natural when you are in the game, you want to win trophies,” Tielemans said.
“That is the best feeling to win trophies. Obviously every player would say the same, definitely.”

This Professor Makes $100k a Year to Teach Your Kids: Listen to How Insane He Is
The title of “university professor” used to really mean something. At one time, the profession carried a certain amount of weight and prestige.
Nowadays, if you tell someone you’re a college professor, they’ll wonder whether or not you belong in a mental institution.
That certainly seems to be a valid question when it comes to Patrick R. Grzanka, an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Tennessee Knoxville.
Grzanka was interviewed by Matt Walsh in the recently released documentary — which is currently dominating the streaming world — “What is a Woman?”
The film sought to ask the titular question to the country’s foremost experts in transgender rights and gender ideology.
Of course, the philosophy was quickly proven to be a farce when experts like Grzanka couldn’t provide a definition of “woman” other than “a woman is someone who says they’re a woman.”
This is, hilariously, despite the fact that Grzanka serves as the Chair of the Interdisciplinary Program in “Women, Gender and Sexuality.”
Lol imagine you seek this discussion out, get absolutely rolled in the conversation, and then STILL put it in your movie. 🤡 pic.twitter.com/8RM9Ou6fqH

In addition, Grzanka couldn’t define the word “truth” and became visibly agitated and offended when told there was such a thing as objective “truth.”
This is brilliant. With simple, dispassionate questions, @MattWalshBlog reveals that mere curiosity about the truth is enough to offend people who’ve built their careers and lifestyles on the back of its suppression.

What is truly shocking — perhaps even more so than any of Grzanka’s strange beliefs — was the fact that he is paid incredibly well to teach this nonsense to young university students.
The @UTKnoxville professor who got mad at @MattWalshBlog for asking about “truth” makes over $92K a year and receives NSF grant money approaching $800K to study and publish complete nonsense.
Lighting that money on fire would literally be more productive. https://t.co/EARp5kmHGR

Although the above tweet shows Grzanka’s salary to be roughly $92,000, The University of Tennessee system salary database now lists the professor’s salary as $100,704.
Over $100,000 for a women’s studies professor who can’t define the word “woman.”
This is what colleges and universities have become in the past few decades — they no longer equip students with truth and knowledge.
Instead, they turn them into political activists.
And, at the forefront of it all are diluted individuals, like Grzanka, whose inane ramblings now define American education.

SAN FRANCISCO — You stay classy, Chase Center crowd.
After critiquing Boston’s rowdy fans and eventually squaring the NBA Finals, the Warriors return to host Game 5 Monday night against the Celtics.
“They have got a great crowd, a great fan base,” Celtics star Jayson Tatum said Sunday. “Obviously, they have been in this position many a time, in the Finals, after the last six, seven years.”
The Warriors were not as complimentary at what they just experienced on the road, where derogatory chants welcomed Draymond Green to Boston in the Celtics’ Game 3 win. Steph Curry eventually silenced the crowd with his 43-point outburst in Friday’s Game 4 win.
How might the atmosphere impact Game 5 inside Chase Center, where the Warriors are 10-1 these playoffs?
In the Finals’ first two games there, obligatory jeers went toward the referees, while cheers were reserved for “MVP! MVP!” Steph Curry at the free-throw line, not to mention the grassroots’ cries of “Looooon!” for big man Kevon Looney.
“It’s always great when fans recognize that,” Warriors forward Nemanja Bjelica said. “It helps you a lot, especially in this type of situation in the playoffs. Our fans, they’re the best in the league. They understand basketball so they support you for 48 minutes.”
The Celtics weren’t exactly taunted in their past visits, other than having their missed shots celebrated with applause.
“They treat us like every other crowd: they’re cheering for their team, and they don’t like us whenever we do anything,” Celtics guard Derrick White said.
Fans’ furor won’t determine who wins the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy.
“You know, it’s basketball,” Tatum said. “I feel like, for whatever reason, we’ve played somewhat better on the road these playoffs than we have at home.”
Indeed. That’s a red flag the Warriors must recognize. Of course, the Celtics rallied for a Game 1 win here, 120-108 on June 2.
In Boston’s preceding series, they went 2-0 at Brooklyn, 2-1 at Milwaukee, and 3-1 at Miami, where they won the Eastern Conference title in Game 7. The Celtics are 4-5 at home since their first-round sweep of the Nets.
By winning Friday’s visit to TD Garden, the Warriors technically regained homecourt advantage, in that they would host Game 7 next Sunday, if needed.
“The most remarkable moment in these Finals I think was going on the road and winning Game 4 for us,” Green said Sunday. “Anytime you can go on the road and win in a hostile environment, it’s always a great feeling.”
It was in stark contrast to how the Warriors felt after their Game 3 loss there, amid the curse-filled catcalls toward Green.
“We’ve played in front of rude people before,” Klay Thompson said after that game. “Dropping f-bombs with children in the crowd. Really classy. Good job, Boston.”
Hear ye, hear ye: Boston will host Game 6 on Thursday night. But first comes Game 5 inside, the Boathouse That Curry Built. | https://www.paradisepost.com/2022/06/12/nba-finals-how-will-warriors-friendlier-confines-impact-celtics-in-game-5/ | 2022-06-12T23:47:11Z | https://www.paradisepost.com/2022/06/12/nba-finals-how-will-warriors-friendlier-confines-impact-celtics-in-game-5/ | false | 11 |

From work-from-home to work-at-office: Pandemic mums and their babies are struggling with the transition
Having enjoyed an extended period of WFH after maternity leave, some mothers who gave birth during the pandemic are finding it challenging to adjust to returning to the workplace. Their babies too, aren’t used to Mum being away from them for such long periods in the day.
As many celebrated the gradual easing of restrictions beginning in March this year, Rachel (not her real name) found herself close to breaking point. After an extended period of working from home, the application scientist found herself having to return to the office more often.
This unfortunately coincided with a period where her baby started falling sick frequently, causing the new mother to scramble for last-minute caregiving arrangements. During one particularly serious bout in March when he caught a respiratory virus, he was very ill for more than two weeks.
“He had persistent high fever for five days. We took him to three different paediatricians, did multiple blood tests, nose swabs and urine tests, but they could not pinpoint a specific issue.
“On day five, I took him to A&E, where the doctor suggested we admit him as soon as possible. He was hospitalised for five nights, and I stayed with him and took care of him 24/7. During the hospitalisation, I broke down so many times,” she recalled.
Scheduled to return to the office, Rachel found herself having to cancel her meetings. “People were sending email escalations, but I couldn’t reply to them. My superior was quite upset,” she shared.
Partly due to the mounting anxiety and stress, she said she was diagnosed with postpartum depression in April.
While this working mum’s return-to-office struggles may have been compounded by her baby’s illness, she is not the only mother who is finding the transition challenging. Many mums who had their babies during the pandemic and enjoyed the flexibility of working from home after maternity leave have lamented the changes.
THE BACK-TO-OFFICE TRANSITION
“Even pre-pandemic, returning to office is often a challenging transition as new mums adjust to the emotional, physical and mental demands of juggling motherhood with work,” said Dr Vivien Yang, educational and child psychologist at Bloom Child Psychology.
“The spectrum of complex emotions includes guilt about having to leave their child, fears about the impact that separation would have on their babies, anxiety about breastfeeding, stress about meeting work demands, and exhaustion from night feeds,” she added.
One of the silver linings of COVID-19 was that working from home eased some of these struggles, freed up time from the daily commute, and gave mothers more flexibility to juggle the demands of motherhood.
Silvia Wetherell, perinatal mental health counsellor at Alliance Counselling, added that in some cases, “job-related pressures can worsen symptoms of mood and anxiety disorders in postpartum women”.
The conflict between work and motherhood triggers feelings of guilt and inadequacy in the woman, leading her to believe that she is failing both at being a mother and an employee, Wetherell added.
One of the silver linings of COVID-19 was that working from home eased some of these struggles, freed up time from the daily commute, and gave mothers more flexibility to juggle the demands of motherhood.
However, with the return to the office, families now need to re-organise their routine. “Some resent the reduced control and freedom to plan their workday once they have had a positive experience working from home,” said Wetherell.
Communications and operations professional Melanie Sim, who currently has a hybrid work arrangement, is among those who lament the loss of bonding time. “As a working mum, I wrestle with a lot of mum guilt – I feel like I don’t have enough time with my kids and can’t give them enough individual attention. Returning to the office makes me feel this more strongly,” she said.
“I prefer to work from home all the time. At least, I’m around when my kids get home from school and I can squeeze in some precious minutes with them in between meetings. I can also pause my work to put them to bed and then come back to work again,” she added. She has three kids, aged two, six and nine.
In addition, there are concerns about bonding issues and missing milestones. “I am afraid I will miss those important once-in-a-life milestones like my baby’s first steps and only be able to watch it from CCTV,” said Rachel. She also felt that returning to the office would affect her bond with her baby.
The return of business travel is also another challenge for some, such as Yvonne Yeo, who has a two-year-old son. The director of operations in a hospitality firm began travelling for work in February this year and her trips tend to last from three to four days.
“I only go on short work trips for now, but I miss my son very much and find the opportunity to video-call him when he gets home from preschool and before he goes to bed. The first two days I’m away, he would actively ask me questions about the trip. But I notice that by the third day, he would be upset and it would take a while for me to get his attention or for him to address me directly,” she said.
POST-PANDEMIC CHALLENGES
Some mothers also struggle with post-pandemic work expectations. Said Daphne (not her real name), a sales and project manager whose daughter is a year old: “During the pandemic, people were really understanding. They would not call you in the middle of the night or on weekends because their work has also slowed down. They were also okay with Zoom meetings.”
But now that Singapore has fully opened up, she said, things are back to pre-pandemic normal and “everyone is trying to work at 150 per cent capacity to catch up”.
“Clients expect you to be on call 24/7 ... People call me at 10pm and if I don’t pick up, they call again. They expect things to be done fast or instantly. By default, they also would never suggest a Zoom meeting and would ask for a face-to-face meeting instead,” she added.
Daphne said this became a challenge for her, especially when her daughter fell sick and had to stay home instead of going to infant care. She also pulled her daughter out of the centre for a week because of a hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) outbreak there. Without the option to fully work-from-home, Daphne said she struggled to make replacement childcare arrangements.
In general, psychologists have observed that the anxiety of illness weighs heavier on pandemic mothers. “Unique to pandemic mothers is the fear that their babies would contract COVID-19 from them once they start work at the office as there is increased potential exposure to the virus,” said Christine Kwek, child clinical psychologist at Annabelle Kids. “They also worry about how COVID-19 might impact their babies’ development.”
“If the baby is placed in infant care, there is that worry that he would catch other viruses in addition to COVID-19, such as HFMD and the common flu,” added Kwek, who also had a baby during the pandemic and spoke partly from personal experience.
HOW DO PANDEMIC BABIES FARE?
Indeed, pandemic babies, toddlers and children themselves take time to adjust to the changes.
“My older kids are pretty vocal about being unhappy that I have to go back to the office. For the youngest, who is almost three years old, I’ve been working from home almost her entire life, so she’s used to having me around 24/7. She is a bit confused and misses me,” said Sim.
According to Dr Yang, this may be because babies and toddlers have developed a stronger attachment and greater dependency on their mothers during the extended period of work-from-home.
They also generally have less social exposure to other adults and children, which may heighten separation anxiety as their mothers return to work.
Some may notice that this separation anxiety is greater in pandemic babies as compared to before the pandemic when most mothers returned to the office after four months of maternity leave. Kwek explained that separation and stranger anxiety typically begins from seven months, so younger babies would be less affected.
However, she added that multiple factors contribute to increased or reduced separation anxiety. For example, a child who is cared for by multiple caregivers may tend to be more securely attached, and one whose mother is less anxious about leaving him or her may experience less separation anxiety. The child’s personality traits also play a big part in his response.
EASING THE TRANSITION
Yeo said that a pro-family work culture, supportive team and greater work flexibility had made a huge difference in helping her adapt and work towards balance. When her work requires her to travel for longer periods of two to three weeks, “this is where the team has been supportive to say that I could bring family along, have my son with me”.
Find a way to ask your employer for what you need, anticipate objections with solutions, and put forward a realistic plan on how you can continue to deliver value.
In fact, Wetherell believes that all companies should adopt such policies. “The pandemic has given us an opportunity to reconsider the concept of productivity and how that is best achieved,” she said.
“Greater flexibility in transitioning back to work such as temporarily allowing part-time work for a month or two, and giving employees more opportunities to choose whether to work from home or the office could lead to a more motivated, loyal and productive workforce with reduced absenteeism and improved mental health,” she added.
Wetherell advised mothers to advocate for themselves – find a way to ask your employer for what you need, anticipate objections with solutions, and put forward a realistic plan on how you can continue to deliver value.
She also suggested seeking support and guidance from other mothers in the company or industry.
Kwek agreed that a good support system is vital. Mothers should share their struggles with close friends or family members, acknowledge their feelings, and be open to seeking professional help if their support network is not able to alleviate their distress – rather than waiting for a major breakdown, meltdown or disorder before seeking help.
If children are old enough to understand, a heart-to-heart talk can be a simple and effective solution as well.
“One thing that works for me is being very honest with my kids about the situation and how I feel. They know I have to return to the office weekly, but I miss them and want to spend time with them,” said Sim.
“I also make it a point to spend the first five minutes of the day with them to ‘set’ their day, and the last five minutes of the night to offer bedtime stories, hugs and chats before they sleep. It’s like a promise that I’m still around,” she added.

In our offseason coverage of USC basketball from April and early May, we told you that once players made their NBA draft decisions at the end of May, you would see some activity from USC in the transfer portal.
Here we are on June 12, and nothing has happened for the Trojans.
Meanwhile, Arizona got former Texas guard Courtney Ramey. Washington got a Kentucky transfer, Keion Brooks. Washington State picked up a valuable transfer.
Jon Wilner provided notes on some of these developments:
On Tuesday, the Cougars bolstered their backcourt with the addition of Tennessee transfer Justin Powell, a rotation-level player whose career began two seasons ago at Auburn, where he shot 44 percent from 3-point range before a season-ending injury.
(Because the move to WSU is his second transfer, Powell’s eligibility in 2022-23 is not guaranteed. He must apply for a waiver from the NCAA.)
*snip*
The Huskies snared one of the top transfers on the market this week with a commitment from Keion Brooks.
A former five-star recruit who spent two seasons at Kentucky, Brooks might emerge as Terrell Brown Jr. 2.0.
(Or would that make him Terrell Brown Jr. Jr.?)
If you’ll recall, Brown saved Washington’s season — and perhaps coach Mike Hopkins’ job — when he produced 22 points per game in 2021-22 after arriving from Arizona.
Brooks could have a similar impact, elevating an otherwise flawed roster to a respectable level and prolonging the Hopkins era.
The 6-foot-7 forward was a double-digit scorer for Kentucky and led the Wildcats with 27 points in their midseason blowout of eventual national champion Kansas.
Combine Brooks’ arrival with those of center Franck Kepnang (from Oregon) and wing Noah Williams (from WSU), and the Huskies have rebuilt their front line through the portal.
Courtney Ramey gives Tommy Lloyd a solid two-way player to compensate for some of Arizona’s roster losses in the offseason.
This was a good week for Pac-12 basketball … but as we have told you in the past, what’s good for the conference is not necessarily good for USC.
We have also been plainly incorrect in assuming that USC would pounce on a portal prospect once NBA draft decisions were made. True, there is still time for Andy Enfield to act, but it sure seems as though the Trojans are standing pat, which doesn’t generate a whole lot of excitement for the coming season. One major addition would certainly boost USC’s stock, but if that one addition never materializes, the Trojans could slip.
It could be that Enfield is betting big on his highly-rated new recruiting class. Fair enough … but the point to remember about Evan Mobley’s one transcendent year at USC is that he was surrounded by transfer role players who blended well with him. Enfield’s use of the portal helped USC succeed these past two years. Not using the portal much this offseason isn’t just a surprise; it’s a real gamble on his recruiting class. | https://trojanswire.usatoday.com/2022/06/12/usc-basketball-hasnt-yet-made-a-big-transfer-portal-move/ | 2022-06-13T00:14:23Z | https://trojanswire.usatoday.com/2022/06/12/usc-basketball-hasnt-yet-made-a-big-transfer-portal-move/ | false | 1 |

Which brown lipsticks are best?
If you’ve had your fill of pink, red and coral lip color, it’s time to change up your look with a brown lipstick. While it might not be the first color you reach for, you might be surprised at how many flattering shades there are.
Like other lipstick colors, there are countless brown lipstick shades. The color is well-received as a neutral option, and for many wearers, brown becomes their signature shade. MAC Matte Lipstick in Velvet Teddy, for instance, is of the bestselling shades on the market.
What to know before you buy a brown lipstick
Popular brown lipstick shades
Like other lipstick colors, brown lipsticks have an impressive shade range. Some of the most popular shades include sand, beige, taupe, caramel, toffee, coffee and chocolate brown. Other shades are more complex with pink, plum, red or purple undertones. If you research some of the lipsticks you already wear, you may be surprised to find that they have brown undertones. Brown is actually a more common lipstick shade, in some form or another, than most people think.
Why you should wear brown lipstick
If you’re looking for a new neutral lipstick, brown emerges as a formidable option that can be worn with a wide variety of makeup looks. Medium-toned browns, like toffees and caramels, are bold options that are both sophisticated and modern. Deeper brown lipsticks include some statement-making shades that often become the focal point of makeup looks.
What to look for in a quality brown lipstick
Formula varieties
Most brown lipsticks are available as bullet, liquid and lip stain formulas. Generally speaking, you’ll find more through-and-through brown shades in classic bullet lipsticks. However, liquid lipstick continues to grow in popularity, and it’s common to find a few shades of brown in many brands’ collections. There are some, but not many, lip stains that come in brown. If anything, you’ll usually find brown-toned pink or red lip stains.
Finish
The most common finishes for brown lipsticks are cream, matte, satin and metallic. Cream and satin lipsticks both have glossy, shiny finishes that reflect light. Matte lipsticks, on the other hand, have flat, one-dimensional finishes that are often preferred for dramatic looks. Metallic finishes, which have an edge to them, are multidimensional finishes with shiny gold, silver or rose gold undertones.
Long-wearing brown lipsticks
While it might be easy for fading red or pink lipstick to go unnoticed between touch-ups, brown lipstick is pretty apparent. For that reason, many people prefer long-wearing brown lipsticks. Depending on the formula, they stay put anywhere from 8-24 hours. They also tend to have more saturated color than regular lipsticks. Generally speaking, most matte bullet and liquid lipsticks have longer wear times than other formulas and finishes.
How much you can expect to spend on brown lipstick
Most brown drugstore lipsticks cost $5-$12, with a few outliers. Lipstick minis from premium beauty brands start at $14, whereas full-size brown lipsticks cost $21-$58.
Brown lipstick FAQ
Is brown lipstick more popular during colder months?
A. Not necessarily. While many people gravitate toward brown-toned lipsticks during the fall and winter months, they often find that certain shades are suitable to wear for spring or summer. Light brownish-pink shades, for instance, tend to be more popular in warmer weather. Deeper browns, like terra-cotta or coffee, are often preferred in colder weather. More than anything, it’s a matter of personal preference.
How do I find a flattering shade of brown lipstick?
A. If you’ve never worn brown lipstick before, be prepared to try on several shades before finding the right one. It’s helpful to wear them with a few different makeup looks, as well. Another option is to head to the beauty counter and speak with an experienced makeup artist to help you find the best options for your complexion. It’s also worth experimenting with different finishes and formulas; if you normally wear matte red shades, try a cream brown lipstick to achieve a totally different look.

SAN FRANCISCO and SUZHOU, China, June 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovent Biologics, Inc. ("Innovent") (HKEX: 01801), a world-class biopharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and commercializes high-quality medicines for the treatment of oncology, autoimmune, metabolic, ophthalmology and other major diseases, and IASO Biotherapeutics ("IASO Bio"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in discovering, developing, and manufacturing innovative cell therapies and antibody products, today jointly announced that the updated data from phase 1/2 study of Equecabtagene Autoleucel (Innovent R&D code: IBI326, IASO Bio R&D code: CT103A), a fully-human anti-B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for the treatment of relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM), was presented in the form of an oral presentation at the 27th European Hematology Association (EHA) Annual Meeting in Vienna on June 9-12, 2022.
Presentation Title: Updated Phase 1/2 Data of the Safety and Efficacy of CT103A, Fully-Human BCMA-Directed CAR-T Cells in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Session Title:Relapsed/refractory myeloma: BCMA-directed therapies
Abstract Code: EHA-S187
Session date and Time: Sunday, June 12, 2022, at 11:30 AM - 12:45 PM CEST
Place: Vienna, Austria or online
Speaker: Chunrui Li, MD, Ph.D., from Department of Hematology, Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology
The updated data from the Phase 1/2 study with a longer duration of follow-up in more patients has showed durable and deepening efficacy, manageable safety and long-term in vivo persistence, indicating that Equecabtagene Autoleucel has the potential to be a breakthrough therapy for patients with R/R MM.
The updated data is from the 14 clinical sites involved in the Phase 1/2 clinical study of Equecabtagene Autoleucel (ChiCTR1800018137, NCT05066646) in the treatment of patients with R/R MM. As of the data cutoff date of January 21, 2022, 79 patients received recommended phase 2 dose(RP2D)of 1.0×106 CAR-T cells/kg with the median follow-up of nine months (range 1.2, 19.6) and median prior five lines of therapy (range 3,23). Among the 79 patients, 34.2% (27/79) had high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities, 34.2%(27/79)had extramedullary multiple myeloma (EMM), and 15.2%(12/79)had received prior CAR-T therapy.
Equecabtagene Autoleucel demonstrated a favorable and manageable safety profile: Among the 79 patients, 94.9% (75/79) experienced cytokine release syndrome (CRS). The majority experienced 1~2 CRS, and no patient experienced grade 3 CRS. The median time to CRS onset was six days after infusion, and the median duration of CRS was five days. Only two patients experienced immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), including one patient who experienced grade 1 ICANS and one who experienced grade 2 ICANS. All patients with CRS or ICANS have recovered.
Equecabtagene Autoleucel showed favorable and durable efficacy: Among the 79 patients, the overall response rate (ORR) was 94.9% (75/79), with "89.9% (71/79)" of those patients achieving very good partial response (VGPR) or deeper responses, and the complete response/stringent complete response (CR/sCR) rate was 68.4% (54/79). Equecabtagene Autoleucel also demonstrated favorable efficacy in 10 patients with EMM, achieving an ORR of 100% (10/10) and a CR/sCR rate of 90.0% (9/10). In all 79 patients, 92.4% (73/79) achieved minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity, all CR/sCR subjects achieved MRD negativity, and the median duration of MRD negativity was not reached.
Equecabtagene Autoleucel demonstrated favorable efficacy in patients who had received prior CAR-T therapy: Among the 12 patients who previously received CAR-T therapy, the ORR was 75.0% (9/12), with 41.7% (5/12) of those patients achieving CR/sCR.
Equecabtagene Autoleucel demonstrated robust expansion and prolonged persistence: The expansion of Equecabtagene Autoleucel in peripheral blood reached the peak at a median of 12 days, with a median Cmax of 92,000 copies/ug DNA. Equecabtagene Autoleucel was still detectable in 62.3% (38/61) and 53.3% (8/15) of the subjects who completed 6-months and 12-month follow-ups after infusion. Soluble BCMA in peripheral blood of patients rapidly declined after Equecabtagene Autoleucel infusion and persistently remained below the detectable limit.
Equecabtagene Autoleucel has low immunogenicity: 16.5% (13/79) of the subjects tested anti-drug antibody (ADA)-positive after Equecabtagene Autoleucel infusion. Among them,1.3% (1/79) tested ADA-positive before Equecabtagene Autoleucel infusion, and 2.5% (2/79) tested ADA-positive within three months.
Prof. Chunrui Li, MD, PhD, from Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science & Technology, stated "Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy is a revolutionary new pillar in cancer treatment. In our previous studies, Equecabtagene Autoleucel has shown excellent efficacy and manageable safety profiles. Its CAR structure contains fully human single-chain fragment variables (scFvs) to bypass potential anti-CAR immunogenicity of the host while retaining antitumor activity. At the 27th EHA conference, we updated the data on the efficacy and safety of Equecabtagene Autoleucel in R/R MM patients with longer median follow-up extended to 9.0 months, the CR/sCR deepened to 68.4%, compared with the CR/sCR of 58.2% with a median follow-up of 7.0 months, which were released at 63rd ASH conference in 2021. The updated data showed long-lasting safety and deepening efficacy of Equecabtagene Autoleucel. We are glad that Equecabtagene Autoleucel also shows favorable efficacy on patients who have relapsed after receiving prior CAR-T therapy. This has meaningful clinical value and is worthy of further exploration in the clinic to potentially bring forth new hope to patients with R/R MM."
Multiple Myeloma is a deadly blood cancer that often infiltrates the bone marrow causing anemia, kidney failure, immune problems, and bone fractures. For multiple myeloma patients, common first-line drug treatments include proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, and alkylating agents. While treatment may result in remission, most patients will inevitably enter the relapsed or refractory stage as there's currently no cure. As a result, there is a significant unmet need for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. In the United States, MM accounts for nearly 2% of all cancer cases, and more than 2% of cancer-related deaths.
According to Frost & Sullivan, the number of new MM cases in the United States rose from 30,300 in 2016 to 32,300 in 2020 and is expected to increase to 37,800 by 2025. Additionally, the total number of patients diagnosed with MM increased from 132,200 in 2016 to 144,900 in 2020 and is expected to rise to 162,300 by 2025. In China, the number of new MM cases rose from 18,900 in 2016 to 21,100 in 2020 and is expected to increase to 24,500 by 2025. The total number of patients diagnosed with MM in China increased from 69,800 in 2016 to 113,800 in 2020 and is expected to rise to 182,200 by 2025.
Equecabtagene Autoleucel is an innovative therapy co-developed by Innovent and IASO Bio, with a fully-human anti- BCMA CAR-T cell therapy which uses lentivirus as a gene vector to transfect autologous T cells. The CAR contains a fully-human scFv, CD8a hinge and transmembrane, and 4-1BB-mediated co-stimulation and CD3ζ activation domains. Based on rigorous screening and comprehensive in vivo and in vitro evaluation, Equecabtagene Autoleucel is proven to have potent and rapid anti-myeloma activity and outstanding safety, efficacy, and persistence results.
Equecabtagene Autoleucel was granted "Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD)" by the NMPA in February 2021 and was granted "Orphan Drug Designation (ODD)"by the Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February 2022. The NMPA has accepted the New Drug Application for Equecabtagene Autoleucel for the Treatment of Relapsed and/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma in June 2022.
In addition to multiple myeloma, the NMPA has accepted the investigational new drug (IND) application of Equecabtagene Autoleucel for a new expanded indication of Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD).

Criminal Defense Attorney – The History
The related concepts of crime and law have a long history out of which has emerged a variety of legal systems and juridical forms that necessitate the existence lawyers. Lawyers are a highly trained professional class that is concerned with the study and practice of law, and a criminal defense attorney deals with law that concerns crime.
Specifically, a criminal defense attorney defends those who have been accused of a criminal offense. A criminal defense attorney prepares a case in an attempt to protect their clients’ civil liberties and have them declared not guilty. In lieu of that, a criminal defense attorney will try to have the sentence given be as light as possible.
The legitimacy of law, in political theory, extends from some kind of governing body. The state, as both a theoretical construct, and an actual existing body of government, has historically often been the force behind the legitimacy of systems of laws. In Western political philosophy, it has been argued that a state must be established to protect humans from each other. The role of the criminal attorney is to act as a mediator in disputes involving harm or other criminal acts.
From Western political thought emerged the concept of the nation-state, which pairs nationalist feelings of patriotism with the form of the state. The Revolutions of 1848 throughout Europe played a role in the increase of nationalism, as well as liberal democracy and the court systems we see in Europe and North America today.
Through this process of nationalism, nations each developed their own particular legal systems that share a common ancestor, but exhibit a wide range of variation that depend largely on the culture from which they derive. However, in cultures that allow people to defend themselves in a criminal court, a lawyer is absolutely necessary.
The presentation of documents and verbal discussions had to be coordinated in a hierarchical fashion, as the legitimacy of the law comes from above in the chain of command. The necessitated the existence of courts and judges. Courts serve as official meeting places for lawyers as well as opportunities for judges to decide cases. Some cases are decided by judges, but most criminal cases are decided by juries, whom the criminal defense attorney must convince their client is innocent.
In modern legal systems, lawyers are still under the authority of judges, who in turn must answer to the state; however, lawyers also have a larger role, because people are allowed to defend themselves in court. In criminal cases, a defendant can defend him or herself with legal representation. In a criminal court, a lawyer can prosecute or defend individuals or groups in the interpretation and enforcement of laws. The decisions of courts set precedents that increase the likelihood of future court cases being determined in the same way.
As you can see, this profession has a long history and could not have achieved its current form without the technology of writing and the accumulation of laws in their written form.

Advertising Memes – How to Hardwire Your Prospects to Buy From Only You
“Meme” comes from a Greek word. In terms of marketing the word describes a “packet” of information that is comprehensible in an instant. In order to cut through the noise and jumble of advertising today only the most compelling and simple-to-understand “packets” succeed.
Memes in marketing are real. They are a mind-control device. This isn’t science fiction stuff. Geoff Ayling in his book “Rapid Response Advertising” tells all about it. It is one of my favorite books.
Memes are a sort of “instant recall” template in our brains. Sometimes a meme is a slogan, sometimes it’s a jingle, sometimes it’s a visual association. Whatever the form, a successful advertising meme gets under our skin and embeds itself into our subconscious mind from where it influences our actions.
Creepy, right?
Perhaps. But I think I can convince you that a meme can be used as a force for good… and that developing the right meme for your business or product could be the difference between struggling to succeed year-in, year-out and getting filthy rich.
Here’s a classic meme:
“I like IKE!”
What’s not to like about Ike? His image was congruent, at least in public he succeeded in being likable in two elections… in part due to his charisma, appearance, and credibility – but it was all tied-together by the simple 3-word hear-it, say-it meme. Ike won by a landslide in 1953, ending a 20-year Democratic White House – even though he had NEVER HELD AN ELECTED OFFICE and thus wasn’t an experience legislator.
Ike’s election was a great triumph of populism… and it might have come off well even without the meme “I line Ike!” You can’t deny the power or the associations the slogan brings up.
Other famous memes include:
“Hot pizza delivered to your door in 30 minutes of less or it’s Free!”
“We’re number 2. We try harder.”
In both these cases the name of the business isn’t even included in the meme but the associations are so powerful the majority of Americans recognize these memes even though they may not have see the ads in years.
Here’s another:
“Take the Pepsi challenge!”
I remember this from the 1970s and early 80s. I was a kid. I liked coke better but I did try Pepsi, as did most Coke drinkers… and Coke lost a huge market share to Pepsi in the space of a few years. Pepsi re-positioned Coke as being old-fashioned and uncool. The damage to Coke was brutal and the company spend incredible amounts of money trying to get the business back. One of the great marketing coups in history.
Let’s face it, the chances that your product or company will ever have such a successful meme as these ones is slim. Memes are powerful in more subtle contexts too. Ideally a meme will create, in the mind of your customers, a profound and compelling “reason” to buy from you. A combination of memes can even be used in layers to create the impression that your product or service is profoundly different from your competition – even though in reality it is not.
The differentiation between what you sell and what your competition sells is in the MINDS of the people who experience your products or your advertising. Many business owners would be shocked at just how oblivious the public is to the value of their products, and how easily forgotten their advertising is.
By understanding and using Memes in your marketing messages you stand a fighting chance of standing out in a sea of “me-too” marketing… which is, despite your pride in your current marketing, probably what you are doing right now.
There are not that many great memes visible in marketing today. Some of the companies that have them however have triumphed in the marketplace. Avis car rental’s Meme “We’re number 2 – we try harder” actually catapulted that failing company into a number 2 position… the Meme actually created the reality they were after.
The Marlboro Man is another successful meme. The tag line is “Come To Where The Flavor Is – Marlboro Country” – and that’s okay but the real power of it comes with the layering of the associated images of male power and rugged Americanism. The memes embedded in the collective consciousness of America and took Marlboro from being number 22 to being number one in cigarette sales. It took a undistinguished, failing brand and created a multi-billion dollar brand.
I wouldn’t want to be involved with a poisonous product like cigarettes but you have to admit the meme is powerful indeed, and worth studying. A number of liquor companies have sort of tried to borrow from the Marlboro meme with some success. In essence Whiskey is, to most drinkers, pretty similar, yet effective memetic marketing has created brand-preferences in the minds of consumers which allow some brands to dominate. When presented at a bar with 20 brands of Whiskey the drinker knows what he likes. He has a preference that is in fact less based on his own real personal preference and more based in the effective mind-control marketing of memetic branding.
Powerful stuff indeed.

Unlike search engine optimization and content marketing, Facebook ads can doubtlessly extract extremely good effects within a few days or hours of beginning a campaign.
When a promotion in the correct target group contains the correct offer, it produces deals for you, for the most part at low securing costs. And in case you run an advert so efficaciously, then you may scale the income and as a consequence the earnings by increasing the display charges.
And this show can deliver very good overall performance values for a positive time period till the target group is depleted.
Automation?- your buddies and helpers
If you are the one who runs several campaigns in your organization or office, the day by day optimization of the campaigns and the critiques required for this may soak up valuable time.

This way you won’t lose cash unnecessarily if the marketing campaign doesn’t perform as favored. And due to the fact, Slack is on your smartphone, you could effortlessly pause the campaign or ad from anywhere and optimize it while you get again to work.
Graphical pictures frequently say greater than tables. That is the reason the Reveal Bot has a valuable design include that helps you to compare and visualize two metrics from the marketing campaign.

As a standout amongst the most helpful functions in Zalster is the split test. Zalster thinks about the individual parts and learns along in this way. This enables a few promotions to be made and Zalster figures out who gets the chance to see which ad based on the past information.
Zalster considers an expansive number of data points under consideration. The enhancement isn’t just in view of transformation, yet additionally on extra information focuses, for example, “add to shopping basket” or “include payment data”. This fundamentally enhances the achievement of the campaigns contrasted with human collaborations.
Zalster is reasonable for web-based business websites or websites with a clear conversion goal. If you are searching for reach or site clicks, you will be disappointed with this device.
The price of the tool is five percent of Facebook advertising expenses, however at least $495 according to month.
3. ReFUEL4
Do you realize that campaign performance diminishes after some time? This is known as “advertising fatigue”. No advertising campaign is always outstanding. After some time, the target group is depleted and performance decreases.
This is due to the fact within a described target group only a few customers are interested in the product and convert. Since a similar promotion is shown for a similar target group, you will get to the point wherein all fascinated users have transformed and absolutely everyone else is just bored of watching your advert. That is clarified via an ever higher CpL and better CpC.
In this sort of situation, a new ad and a brand new innovative (photo/video) can give the campaign new life.

The bigger the scope of capacities, then the tool becomes more costly. There is a free version, in which there will be only automation, does not include any data integration. From $500 you have the relatively entire scope of functions including the Google Analytics coordination, which I acknowledge in particular.
5. Trapica
Trapica utilizes artificial intelligence to optimize advert campaigns in Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, AdWords and LinkedIn.
Simply include “Trapica” to the name of your campaign and optimization runs. The tool promptly starts to recognize what works and what doesn’t.

SUZHOU, China, and ROCKVILLE, MD, June 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascentage Pharma (6855.HK), a global biopharmaceutical company engaged in developing novel therapies for cancers, chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and age-related diseases, today announced that it has released results from a Phase I study of the company's novel Bcl-2-selective inhibitor lisaftoclax (APG-2575) in Chinese patients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r NHL) at the 2022 European Hematology Association Hybrid Congress (EHA 2022).
The EHA Congress is the largest gathering of the hematology field in Europe. It showcases the most cutting-edge research and state-of-the-art innovative therapies, attracting over 10,000 clinical experts and researchers from more than 100 countries every year.
The data presented at this year's EHA Congress show that lisaftoclax was well tolerated at doses of up to 800 mg/day, without evidence of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS). In addition, lisaftoclax demonstrated preliminary efficacy in a range of relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and T-cell NHL, having achieved 4 complete responses (CRs) and 8 partial responses (PRs) in 32 efficacy evaluable patients.
In the 11 efficacy evaluable patients with CLL (all of whom were heavily pretreated and had failed prior therapies such as chemoimmunotherapies and Bruton's tyrosine kinase [BTK] inhibitors, and the majority had at least 1 type of adverse prognostic factors such as 17p deletion/TP53 mutation), there were 8 efficacy evaluable patients in cohorts received 200 mg or higher doses, including 3 CRs and 4 PRs, thus demonstrating an ORR of 87.5%. In the 6 efficacy evaluable patients with MCL, the ORR was 33.3% (1 CR). In the 4 efficacy evaluable patients with MZL, the ORR was 50%. In the 3 efficacy evaluable patients with T-cell NHL, the ORR was 33.3%.
Lisaftoclax is a novel, orally administered small-molecule Bcl-2-selective inhibitor being developed by Ascentage Pharma to treat hematologic malignancies and solid tumors by selectively blocking the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 and hence restoring the normal apoptosis process in cancer cells. Lisaftoclax is the first Bcl-2 inhibitor developed and entering clinical development in China, and is also the second such agent entering pivotal trials globally. Lisaftoclax is being studied in multiple clinical studies encompassing a range of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies, and has shown high clinical potential.
Dr. Yifan Zhai, Chief Medical Officer of Ascentage Pharma, commented, "Lisaftoclax is a key drug candidate in Ascentage Pharma's apoptosis-targeted pipeline. It has shown favorable tolerability and efficacy in multiple clinical studies in patients with solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. The drug candidate's therapeutic potential was further validated by the data released at EHA 2022. We will press ahead with the clinical development of lisaftoclax in efforts to bring a much-needed new treatment option to patients."
Highlights of this abstract on lisaftoclax are as follows:
Preliminary Results of a Phase 1 Study of Novel Bcl-2 Inhibitor Lisaftoclax (APG-2575) in Chinese Patients (pts) with Relapsed or Refractory (r/r) Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHLs)
Abstract: #P1106
Highlights:
- This multicenter, single-agent, Phase I trial consists of a dose escalation and a dose expansion and is the first-in-human study of lisaftoclax in adults with R/R NHL in China. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary efficacy of lisaftoclax in Chinese patients with R/R NHL.
- Patients were dosed with lisaftoclax orally once daily in 28-day cycles. A daily ramp-up schedule was used in patients with CLL or NHL with medium/high-risk TLS.
- As of January 1, 2022, 40 patients had been treated with lisaftoclax (dose range 20-800 mg), including 20 who remain in the trial. NHL subtypes included: 12 CLL, 9 follicular lymphoma (FL), 7 MCL, 4 MZL, 4 T-cell lymphoma, 2 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and 2 Waldenström macroglobulinemia.
- With a median treatment duration of 4 cycles, 4 of 32 evaluable patients achieved CR and 8 achieved PR, resulting in an ORR of 37.5%. In the 11 evaluable patients with CLL, the ORR was 63.6%, the CR rate was 27.3%, and the PR rate was 36.4%. In patients with CLL treated at doses ≥ 200 mg, the ORR was 87.5%. In the 6 evaluable patients with MCL, 1 patient achieved CR and 1 achieved PR. In the 4 evaluable patients with MZL, 2 achieved PR. In the 3 evaluable patients with T-cell NHL, 1 achieved PR.
- Lisaftoclax was generally well tolerated. Most treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were grade 1-2 (67.5%). Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and laboratory/clinical TLS were not observed in any of the dose cohorts, and there were no dose-reduction or discontinuation due to intolerance.
Conclusions:
Lisaftoclax showed promising antitumor activity and favorable responses in subtypes of NHL including CLL/SLL, MZL, MCL, T-cell NHL. In addition, lisaftoclax demonstrated a favorable safety profile, with no TLS or DLT observed during the dose ramp-up from 20 mg - 800 mg/day.

Human relationships are those that further define our being: if we are what we are, our uniqueness is due to predisposition (the so-called “personality”) but also to the various experiences that “shape” our personality. There is no doubt that, for example, the most “hard” and stubborn people tend to be the same people who do not like to follow orders and give orders, for the most varied reasons. According to the zodiac, this “spread” belongs in a certain way to those Signs Zodiac sign. Are you there too?
The signs that you hate being asked are these 3. Here are the signs
Aries
Proud and stubborn, on “principle”, Aries hates being asked, and slight changes if you adopt a “nice” approach to getting him to do something. It is necessary to convince him in all respects of the righteousness of behaving in a certain way in order to lead him to cooperate with others. Aries for this reason exhibits such a bit of dullness that it leads them to be seen as “difficult to understand.”
The scorpion
He never willingly accepts an assumption even if he formally agrees to ’cause’. She is a very logical and rational sign, but he would rather give orders than receive them. Only if they truly feel they are in the midst of a profitable context can they “stick their noses” and obey.
Sagittarius
He has to follow his own rules, his own way of working, otherwise he simply refuses to do anything. Even if he is aware of a certain context and why it is necessary to act one way over another, Sagittarius makes a “deaf ear”.

Wall Street Journal Enters the Affiliate Marketing Fray with "Buy Side"

The Wall Street Journal wants a cut of your next online shopping spree.
According to a report in Axios, the storied financial newspaper will launch a new commerce website today called "Buy Side from WSJ." Reviews of consumer products will live alongside links to buy them, with revenue made from referral links known in the industry as "affiliate marketing."
Corporate Affiliates
The WSJ is just the latest media org to get in on what's called affiliate revenue, a term for the commission made from featuring consumer products. A simple example: you're reading an article about the 10 best electric shavers and it includes links to buy them on Amazon. If you click through and buy, the publisher you were reading gets a commission from a partner. (Amazon, Skimlinks, and Red Ventures are among Buy Side's affiliate launch partners).
Buy Side will operate independently from the newsroom as a unique section of the WSJ website. Expect reviews of products that interest WSJ readers, more likely to be tie-sporting financial professionals than t-shirted tech millennials -- that means quality commuter backpacks, office furniture, and financial products. The site launches amid an affiliate marketing lull, but long-term growth prospects are strong:
- According to Skimlinks data on publishers in the Comscore Top 250, total commission from affiliate revenue has grown just 2% this year, after increasing 37% in 2021 and 163% in 2020 during the pandemic e-commerce boom. But e-commerce ad spending, which was $28 billion or 13% of digital ad spending last year is projected to grow to $63 billion and 20% of digital ad spending by 2025, according to eMarketer data.
- "Despite the current headwinds, building an affiliate strategy is the right strategy for publishers to build a sustainable revenue stream long-term," Lauren Newmann, a VP at Skimlinks, told AdWeek.
The New York Times bought consumer review site Wirecutter for $30 million in 2016 and by 2018 it was making $20 million in annual revenue. BDG (owner of Bustle, NYLON, TZR, and Elite Daily) and BuzzFeed, which has its own branded Amazon shop, are two other media companies with major affiliate marketing businesses.
Ad Blocker: Publishers rely on Google search to drive traffic to their affiliate articles -- Buy Side won't have a paywall like the regular WSJ, opening it up to more readers who arrive by click -- but Google is cracking down. In the last year, the web giant began demoting affiliate articles that lacked original photography or a diverse mix of outbound links -- though that may just breed some very poorly lit photos of new shaving kits.

The sad story of the hardest event for Marc Anthony that would change his life forever
Marc Anthony is recognized as the king of salsa but those who know the singer well know that for him there is nothing more important than family. The singer of Puerto Rican origin is the youngest of a family of eight siblings, children of Guillermina Quiñones and renowned musician Felipe Muñiz.
Long before success came into his life Mark Anthony, experienced one of the most painful moments he has ever lived and that continued to instill fear in him, even after marrying Jennifer Lopez. His happy childhood was marked by a family tragedy, when his sister Maribel died of brain cancer at the age of nine.
The family tragedy was at the center of the mind of Mark Anthony many years after he married Jennifer Lopez and the couple became parents to twins Max and Emme. Both were in their best professional moment but something overshadowed their joy, the then happy parents panicked days after receiving the babies, when they discovered a mysterious lump on the head of their little Emme.
It was at that moment that Jennifer Lopez commented, “I just remember that feeling. If something goes wrong with the baby… I’m going to die. I remember looking at Marc and thinking, ‘We should call the doctor’… I kind of panicked. We were thinking, ‘Did someone drop her when we weren’t looking?…I just remember looking at him and saying if this baby, if Emme isn’t going to be okay…I’m not going to be okay.’
Jennifer Lopez Y Mark Anthony, they took Emme to the hospital and, luckily, everything went well. But the incident made them think of families who would not be so lucky and who would not have access to good medical care. Moved by this idea, they decided to establish the Maribel Foundation, named after the late sister of Markto provide pediatric care to those in need.
When was the foundation opened? Mark Anthony recalled the moments lived, first with his sister and then with his daughter, the result of his marriage with Jennifer Lopez. At that time she expressed: “As you may or may not know, I lost my sister Maribel to brain cancer. She was only nine years old, my family started the Maribel Foundation in her honor. And we have advocated for better availability of health care for women and children, regardless of their ability to pay. We want everyone to have a fighting chance.” | https://d1softballnews.com/the-sad-story-of-the-hardest-event-for-marc-anthony-that-would-change-his-life-forever/ | 2022-06-13T00:49:33Z | https://d1softballnews.com/the-sad-story-of-the-hardest-event-for-marc-anthony-that-would-change-his-life-forever/ | true | 1 |
