‘Worrying trend’: Post-Cold War drop in nukes could be over
STOCKHOLM (AP) — A Swedish arms watchdog says the world’s stockpiles of nuclear weapons are expected to increase in coming years, reversing a decline seen since the end of the Cold War.
The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, or SIPRI, said Monday that all nine nuclear-armed countries are increasing or upgrading their arsenals.
“There are clear indications that the reductions that have characterized global nuclear arsenals since the end of the Cold War have ended,” said Hans M. Kristensen, a researcher with SIPRI’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Program and director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists.
The U.S. and Russia, which hold 90% of the world’s atomic weapons, saw their inventories decline in 2021 due to the dismantling of warheads retired from military service years ago. Their useable military stockpiles remained relatively stable and within the limits set by a nuclear arms reduction treaty, SIPRI said.
The research institute said that the other nuclear states — Britain, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea — are either developing or deploying new weapon systems, or have announced their intention to do so. Israel has never publicly acknowledged having such weapons.
“All of the nuclear-armed states are increasing or upgrading their arsenals and most are sharpening nuclear rhetoric and the role nuclear weapons play in their military strategies,” said Wilfred Wan, the director of SIPRI’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Program. “This is a very worrying trend.” | https://thehill.com/news/ap/ap-international/worrying-trend-post-cold-war-drop-in-nukes-could-be-over/ | 2022-06-13T11:54:00Z | https://thehill.com/news/ap/ap-international/worrying-trend-post-cold-war-drop-in-nukes-could-be-over/ | false | 45 |
Nurses in England face £1,600 real-terms hit if NHS pay rises 3%
Nurses are facing a £1,600 real-terms wage cut under plans being considered by the government for this year’s pay rise, with ministers expected to offer an increase of just 3% for NHS staff in England despite the soaring cost of living.
Union leaders have warned that pushing through a below-inflation settlement would leave staff who served on the pandemic frontline facing “huge real terms pay cuts”.
As ministers prepare to announce a raft of public sector pay deals over coming weeks, the TUC said nurses would suffer among the biggest losses from wages failing to keep pace with the rising cost of living.
NHS workers received a 3% pay deal in 2021, up from an initial 1% offered by Boris Johnson’s government after a fierce public backlash. Ministers have asked the NHS pay review body to recommend a similar award for this year, with the increase to be backdated to April 2022.
However, inflation has soared to 9% – the highest level since the early 1980s – as Russia’s war in Ukraine exacerbates soaring wholesale energy prices. The Bank of England expects inflation to peak close to 10% later this year.
Average wage growth across the UK economy has picked up in recent months amid shortages of workers in several sectors. However, the increase is failing to keep pace with outgoings as households brace for the worst squeeze on living standards since modern records began in the 1950s. Public sector workers have faced weaker pay growth than average amid government restraint.
Should ministers push through a 3% settlement for NHS workers, the TUC said nurses and paramedics would suffer a £2,000 cut in the inflation-adjusted value of their pay. For maternity care assistants it would represent a real-terms cut of £1,200 and for hospital porters a £1,000 reduction.
NHS pay has been stalled for a decade, leaving workers badly exposed to skyrocketing bills, the TUC said. It calculates nurses are £5,200 poorer compared with 2010 when pay is adjusted for inflation.
Frances O’Grady, the TUC general secretary, said: “Our brilliant key workers in the NHS helped get Britain through the pandemic. But many are now at breaking point – struggling to afford the basics and put food on the table.
“Any offer that falls below the cost of living will be a hammer blow to staff morale – especially as staff shortages continue to cripple vital services – and many NHS workers may choose to vote with their feet.”
The government will announce an offer for NHS staff against a backdrop of strikes in some sectors of the economy because of sub-inflation pay offers and job cuts.
Boris Johnson said on Thursday that increasing pay to match the surge in living costs would risk a “wage price spiral”, whereby persistently higher rates of inflation can become embedded in the economy.
In comments made as he sought to reset the political agenda after more than 40% of his MPs voted to remove him from No 10, Johnson said: “I think it’s naturally a good thing for wages to go up as skills and productivity increase – that’s what we want to see.
“But when a country faces an inflationary problem you can’t just pay more and spend more, you have to find ways of tackling the underlying causes of inflation.”
In evidence to the NHS pay review body earlier this year the government said there was “extremely limited room for any further investment in pay” and that “financial restraint” was needed.
Christina McAnea, the general secretary of the Unison trade union, said soaring inflation had “made a nonsense” of a 3% pay deal.

“Overworked, demoralised and experienced staff need much more if they are to be persuaded to stay and see the NHS through the worst crisis in its history,” she said.
A government spokesperson said no decisions had been made on the pay rise, but that it would “carefully consider the recommendations from the independent pay review bodies once we receive them”.
“We are incredibly grateful to all our NHS staff and we recognise the pressures caused by the rising cost of living,” they added. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2632050717270/nurses-in-england-face-1-600-real-terms-hit-if-nhs-pay-rises-3 | 2022-06-13T11:55:02Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2632050717270/nurses-in-england-face-1-600-real-terms-hit-if-nhs-pay-rises-3 | false | 2 |

TORONTO, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Able Innovations™, a Toronto-based robotic medical device start-up, is garnering significant support for its revolutionary ALTA Platform™ with an announcement of a total raise of USD $6MM. This represents previously unannounced venture capital and grant funding, including USD $2.5MM in non-dilutive funding.
Able Innovations is using robotics to transform processes for healthcare staff by incorporating safety and dignity into a routine procedure that affects providers and patients.
The ALTA Platform automates the demanding task of patient transfer: moving a patient from one surface to another — e.g.: from bed to stretcher. Such transfers occur frequently and require 2 or more staff to exert back-breaking effort. In a post-pandemic system that is seeing nurses burn out and facilities short-staffed, ALTA enables workers to do more with less.
Able Innovations' founders Jayiesh Singh and Philip Chang began developing ALTA in 2018, drawing from Jay's experience volunteering in long-term care, and Philip's struggles with transfer as a patient himself.
"The intense effort required in patient transfer under the current standard of care is not sustainable," says Able CEO Jayiesh Singh. "The pandemic has widened cracks in the healthcare system, and patient transfer is one of them."
Able's unique solution has resulted in partnerships with leading Canadian and American systems including the U.S. Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Toronto's University Health Network (UHN), and Ottawa's Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital.
"Able is redefining values related to patient transfers," says Dr. Gaurav Puri, Chief of Emergency at Southlake Regional Hospital. "Able has demonstrated its commitment to a device that transfers patients safely, efficiently, and with dignity, while minimizing injuries to staff."
Able Innovations gratefully acknowledges support of crucial investors and funders including:
- Champion physicians Dr. Gaurav Puri and Dr. Andrew Vellathottam
- NorthSpring Capital Partners
- University of Waterloo's incubator, Velocity, and its Health Tech Fund
- Ontario Centre of Innovation's Market Readiness Fund
- Federal and provincial government grants
Read more about ALTA and Able in this BetaKit profile.
Able Innovations is solving the painful and labor-intensive process of patient transfers through technology that enables effortless, hands-free, safe and dignified transfers. The ALTA Platform can transfer supine individuals laterally — e.g.: bed to stretcher or imaging table — seamlessly and automatically.

Daniil Medvedev returned to the top of the ATP rankings on Monday, ahead of Alexander Zverev, with Novak Djokovic slipping out of the top two for the first time in nearly four years.
The 26-year-old Russian, who was surprisingly beaten by Tim van Rijthoven in the final at ‘s-Hertogenbosch on Sunday, briefly occupied the number one spot for two weeks at the end of February and the beginning of March.
But with Djokovic losing in the quarter-finals at the French Open, where he was defending champion, the door opened for Medvedev to rise again to the top spot.
Medvedev is unable to compete at Wimbledon as Russian and Belarusian players have been barred following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ranking points, however, will not be awarded.
Zverev climbs to number two for the first time having spent a total of 56 weeks since November 2017 at number three. The German, however, is facing a spell on the sidelines after tearing ligaments in his right ankle during his French Open semi-final with Nadal.
Djokovic’s grip on the number one ranking had already been weakened by his exclusion earlier in the year, because of Covid regulations, from the Australian Open where he was also the defending champion.
It is the first time since October 2018 that Djokovic is not in the top two.
Rafael Nadal, who beat the Serb at Roland Garros and went on to take the title for the 14th time, stays at number four, now only 245 points behind his great rival.
Casper Ruud, who was overwhelmed by Nadal in the Paris final, reached his best career ranking of fifth in the world, up one place ahead of Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Former world number one Andy Murray climbed 21 places to 48 following his journey to the final in Stuttgart at the weekend while Medvedev’s conqueror Van Rijthoven jumped 99 places from 205 to 106.
ATP rankings as of June 13, 2022 (Players representing Russia and Belarus are banned from competing under the name or flag of Russia or Belarus until further notice):

Unites highly complementary businesses, adding nine brands, 624 hotels and over 68,000 rooms
Marks the latest step in Choice's strategy of growing its asset-light portfolio of hotel brands in higher revenue travel segments and locations
Extends Choice's customer reach with some of the industry's most recognized brands
Radisson Hotel Group to continue growing and managing Radisson business in EMEA and APAC, with aim of doubling portfolio by 2025
ROCKVILLE, Md. and BRUSSELS, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH) and Radisson Hotel Group today announced that Choice Hotels has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the franchise business, operations and intellectual property of Radisson Hotel Group Americas for approximately $675 million. The addition of Radisson's nine hotel brands in the Americas is the latest chapter in Choice's successful strategy to expand its growth opportunities by bringing the company's best-in-class franchising platform to adjacent hotel segments and to a new set of hotel owners. The added 624 hotels with over 68,000 rooms expand Choice Hotels' presence in the upscale and core upper-midscale hospitality segments, particularly in the West Coast and Midwest of the United States.
The acquisition of some of the industry's most recognized brands extends Choice Hotels' customer reach in the upscale segments, as well as to more business travelers and a broader demographic within Choice's core leisure segment. The combination strengthens Choice's ability to provide a more holistic product offering across segments and continue to capitalize on consumer trends expected to fuel future demand for travel such as remote work, increasing retirements and road trips.
The transaction brings Choice's industry-leading RevPAR (revenue per available room) growth performance to a new set of franchisees and hotel investors and provides new growth opportunities to expand Choice Hotels' presence to additional locations in Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. Consistent with Choice Hotels' long-term strategy of growing in higher revenue segments, the Radisson brands typically have larger room counts and are located in higher RevPAR markets, driving higher royalty revenue per hotel.
Patrick Pacious, President and Chief Executive Officer of Choice Hotels, said, "Choice has a well-established history of smart acquisitions in new segments where our world-class franchising engine can spur future growth. This transaction brings together two highly complementary businesses, enhancing our guest offerings in the core upper-midscale hospitality segments, while extending our reach into the upper upscale and upscale full-service segments and in higher revenue geographic markets. We are confident that guests and franchisees will significantly benefit by combining these two exceptional sets of brands."
The transaction unlocks significant potential value for the Radisson brands in the Americas. Choice Hotels has a deep familiarity with the Americas franchisee community and will bring a strong commitment to driving the success of Radisson franchisees, many of whom already have franchise agreements with Choice Hotels.
Pacious continued, "Our long track record of establishing mutually beneficial relationships with our franchisees has resulted in a best-in-class voluntary retention rate, and those franchisees are the source of a majority of our new hotel development. Our existing and new hotel owners will benefit from the improved business delivery capabilities of the combined companies, including our award-winning loyalty program, proprietary tools and emerging technologies that will enable them to capture more business, lower their hotel operating costs, reach new customers and respond to evolving industry trends."
Federico J. González, CEO of Radisson Hotel Group, said, "Since the introduction of our strategic transformation plan in 2017, Radisson Hotel Group has been committed to the global success of the Radisson brands and expanding the overall footprint of our global operations. We have achieved strong results, doubling the number of rooms signed per year in EMEA and APAC, confirming Radisson Blu as the largest upper-upscale brand for over 10 years and establishing Radisson as the upscale brand with the largest growth in EMEA. We are confident that Choice Hotels is the owner with the right long-term strategy, resources and management team to successfully accelerate the growth of the Radisson business in the Americas. Radisson Hotel Group will continue to leverage the strength of operational excellence to set our business in EMEA and APAC on a significant growth path with the aim of doubling the portfolio in those markets by 2025. Together with Choice, we will work to ensure that customers continue to experience the highest levels of service and a superior brand experience."
Tom Buoy, interim CEO of Radisson Hotel Group Americas, said, "Our associates have been working hard to solidify the power of our brands, build a better commercial engine and offer best-in-class solutions to franchisees and customers. We are very pleased that the Radisson family of brands in the Americas will join Choice Hotels. We believe that this acquisition will drive growth in a highly competitive market and enable stronger performance for our franchisees."
Transaction Details
Choice Hotels will acquire the franchise business, operations and intellectual property of Radisson Hotels in the United States, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean, for approximately $675 million, inclusive of the real estate value of three owned assets. The acquisition will be funded with cash on hand and revolver borrowings. Radisson Hotel Group Americas comprises the franchise agreements, operations and intellectual property of Radisson Hotels in the United States, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean, and includes 10 Radisson Blu hotels, 130 Radisson hotels, 9 Radisson Individuals, 1 Park Plaza hotel, 4 Radisson RED hotels, 453 Country Inn & Suites by Radisson and 17 Park Inn by Radisson hotels, as well as the Radisson Inn & Suites and Radisson Collection brands. Choice Hotels will independently own and control the brands in the Americas and will work with the Radisson Hotel Group to drive the growth, continuity and success of the brands. The transaction is not anticipated to change Choice Hotels' current capital allocation strategy related to dividend payment policy and planned share repurchases.
The transaction has been unanimously approved by Choice Hotels' Board of Directors and is expected to close in the second half of 2022, pending regulatory approvals and customary closing requirements.
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is serving as financial advisor to Choice Hotels on the transaction, and Willkie Farr & Gallagher is serving as legal advisor. Baker McKenzie is serving as legal advisor to Radisson Hotel Group.

Local governments should attract college graduates to work as village officials, according to a
joint statement issued last week by the ministries of education, finance, civil affairs, and human resources and social security.
The government will offer tax incentives and loans to college graduates who start businesses to serve the rural community, the statement added. Similar benefits will be offered to existing small businesses in villages that hire college graduates, including in fields such as housekeeping and elderly care.
Typically, college graduates in China prefer to work for well-paying companies in major cities,and there is a significant income gap between rural and urban areas.But this is not the first time in recent years that the government has urgedthem to seek employment in the nation’s vast but less developed countryside.
In July 2020, when the initial coronavirus outbreak hit the Chinese economy, authorities encouraged college graduates to move to rural areas, rather than clustering in cities and fighting for limited job opportunities.
These appealshave reminded many on Chinese social media of a government initiative in the tumultuous days of the founder of Communist China, Mao Zedong. Known as the “
Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside Movement,” the original policy was launched by Communist leaders in the 1960s, ostensibly to move privileged urban youth to far-flung corners to learn about farming and politics from poverty-stricken peasants. The result: China’s
“lost generation”who squandered their best years in the countryside.
But, this year, students are running out of options.
Chinese college graduates are facing the toughest graduation seasonas a record 10.76 million are set to finish college in the next two months.
The world’s second largest economy
has slowed significantly in the first half of this year, meaning there are fewer urban jobs available. Small businesses — a major source of jobs — have been
hammered by China’s sweeping Covid lockdowns.
China’s huge tech sector is also staring at a severe jobs crisis. The once-freewheeling industry was long the main source of well-paid employment in China, but major companies have reportedly been
downsizing at a scale not seen before to cope withPresident Xi Jinping’s
regulatory offensive on private enterprise.
The urban unemployment rate for the 16-24 aged soared to a historic 18.2% in May, according to most recent government statistics. The figure did not factor in new college graduates for this year.
China only surveys employment in urban areas.
College entrance exams ‘insanely’ difficult
As the employment situation deteriorates, getting into a college is becoming even harder in China.
A record number of 11.93 million students took the country’s grueling college entrance examination last week. These students arecompeting to get in to the country’s top universities, often under enormous pressure from their parents and families.
This year, students have taken to social media to complain about how exceptionally difficult the exam was,and related topics have been trending on Weibo since the weekend.
According to social media posts, many students
burst into tears while taking the maths test, and some complained that questions in the Chinese literature test were so
“insanely” difficult that even authors of those classical books wouldn’t be able to understand them.
Responding to the online controversy, the education ministry said in
a state media interview that the difficulty of the mathematics exam is to “play the role of selection” and better serve the government’s goal of building a quality eduction system. | https://haitigazette.com/china-urges-college-graduates-to-work-in-villages-as-urban-unemployment-soars/ | 2022-06-13T12:07:15Z | https://haitigazette.com/china-urges-college-graduates-to-work-in-villages-as-urban-unemployment-soars/ | true | 10 |

After over two years of strict restrictions on international travel, countries around the world have finally opened their borders and are welcoming tourists. The U.S., for instance, finally announced on 12 June that international arrivals in the country do not require a pre-departure negative COVID-19 test. Here are seven countries that recently eased COVID-19 entry restrictions:
USA
The CDC has announced that international travellers flying into the United States no longer require a negative COVID-19 test or documentation of recovery to enter the country. However, if you’re planning to travel to the U.S., you will need to be fully vaccinated and provide proof of vaccination prior to boarding your flight. Both Covaxin and Covishield have been accepted by the U.S. Earlier, even fully vaccinated travellers were required to undergo a pre-departure COVID-19 test. | https://www.cntraveller.in/story/the-latest-countries-to-allow-travel-without-covid-restrictions-usa-italy-turkey/ | 2022-06-13T12:17:14Z | https://www.cntraveller.in/story/the-latest-countries-to-allow-travel-without-covid-restrictions-usa-italy-turkey/ | true | null |
2 members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard die amid tensions
Two members of the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard's aerospace division died as “martyrs” in Iran in separate incidents over the weekend, Iranian media reported on Monday. The term is typically a designation given to those on important assignments.
The deaths of the two men come as tensions remain high over Iran's tattered nuclear deal with world powers, and its uranium enrichment program that is now closest it has ever been to weapons-grade levels. While authorities offered no suggestion of foul play in the men's deaths, Israel has been accused of killing other high-ranking Guard members amid the growing crisis.
The semiofficial Fars and Tasnim news agencies, believed to be close to the Guard, identified one of the dead as Ali Kamani and said he died in Iran's central city of Khomein. Tasnim said that Kamani died in a “car accident,” without elaborating.
The news agencies did not give a rank for Kamani. However, a photo published by Tasnim showed the man wearing the epaulets of a second lieutenant in the Guard's aerospace program, which runs Iran's ballistic missile program as well as some of the country's air defenses.
Khomein, the birthplace of the Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini who led the 1979 Islamic Revolution, is in the province of Markazi. That province is also home to Iran's Arak heavy water reactor, a key nuclear program site that has air defenses around it.
Fars alone reported on the death of the second man, whom it identified as Mohammad Abdous. The agency published a picture of Abdous in civilian clothes at the Imam Reza Shrine in the city of Mashhad, Iran.
Fars said that Abdous died “on a mission” while working in Iran's Semnan province. Rural Semnan province, east of Tehran, is home to the Imam Khomeini Spaceport, which has been used in satellite launches.
The report of the two men's deaths come about a week and half after the reported death of Guard Col. Ali Esmailzadeh, a member of its expeditionary Quds Force, under unclear circumstances.
In May, two gunmen on a motorcycle shot and killed Guard Col. Hassan Sayyad Khodaei in Tehran. There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack. Iranian officials have blamed “global arrogance” - code for the United States and Israel - for Khodaei's killing.
The 50-year-old Khodaei remains a shadowy figure and Iran has yet to offer biographic detail beyond saying that he also was a member of the elite Quds Force. The Guard has described him as “defender of the shrine” - a reference to Iranians who support militias fighting the extremist Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq. Thousands attended his funeral in Tehran and hard-line President Ebrahim Raisi visited his family.
The manner of the slaying evoked previous targeted attacks by Israel in Iran. In November 2020, a top Iranian military nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, was killed by a remote-controlled machine gun while traveling in a car outside Tehran.

- 42nd Annual July 4th Broadcast Returns Live From Washington, D.C. –
WASHINGTON, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This July 4th, A CAPITOL FOURTH welcomes country music star and four-time Grammy-nominee Mickey Guyton as host of the 42nd edition of America's national Independence Day celebration on PBS.
"I am so excited to be hosting A CAPITOL FOURTH this year live from Washington, D.C.," said Mickey Guyton. "It's an honor to be leading our nation's 246th birthday celebration, and to share music, fun and fireworks with my family and all of yours!"
Guyton will lead an all-star cast in a patriotic evening of unrivaled musical performances by top stars from pop, country, R&B, classical and Broadway featuring the National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of premier pops conductor Jack Everly.

"From spectacular fireworks to patriotic classics and performances by the biggest stars, the concert will offer something for everyone's Independence Day party. We hope you'll make the program part of your holiday plans."
In 2021, Mickey Guyton made history as the first African American female solo artist to earn a Grammy nomination in a country category. Later that year, she released her critically acclaimed debut album Remember Her Name. She's performed during music's most important events from the Grammy Awards to the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame and the CMT Awards, as well as hosted the 56th Academy of Country Music Awards alongside Keith Urban. This year, Guyton performed the National Anthem at Super Bowl LV in front of an audience of 112.3 million and now joins A CAPITOL FOURTH as host and a performer.
This national tradition, returning live from Washington, D.C., puts viewers front and center for America's biggest birthday party with the greatest display of fireworks anywhere in the U.S.A. lighting up the iconic D.C. skyline. Additional talent announcements will be coming soon.
A CAPITOL FOURTH airs on PBS Monday, July 4, 2022 from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m. ET, as well as to our troops serving around the world on the American Forces Network.

Should SPDR Portfolio S&P 400 Mid Cap ETF (SPMD) Be on Your Investing Radar?
Launched on 11/08/2005, the SPDR Portfolio S&P 400 Mid Cap ETF (SPMD) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Mid Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.
The fund is sponsored by State Street Global Advisors. It has amassed assets over $4.87 billion, making it one of the larger ETFs attempting to match the Mid Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.
Why Mid Cap Blend
Mid cap companies, with market capitalization in the range of $2 billion and $10 billion, offer investors many things that small and large companies don't, including less risk and higher growth opportunities. These types of companies, then, have a good balance of stability and growth potential.
Typically holding a combination of both growth and value stocks, blend ETFs also demonstrate qualities seen in value and growth investments.
Costs
Since cheaper funds tend to produce better results than more expensive funds, assuming all other factors remain equal, it is important for investors to pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.05%, making it one of the least expensive products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.51%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
Even though ETFs offer diversified exposure which minimizes single stock risk, it is still important to look into a fund's holdings before investing. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Industrials sector--about 18.40% of the portfolio. Financials and Consumer Discretionary round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Camden Property Trust (CPT) accounts for about 0.75% of total assets, followed by Targa Resources Corp. (TRGP) and Alcoa Corporation (AA).
The top 10 holdings account for about 6.11% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
SPMD seeks to match the performance of the S&P 1000 Index before fees and expenses. The S&P MidCap 400 Index combines the S&P MidCap 400 and the S&P SmallCap 600 to form an investable benchmark for the mid to small cap segment of the U.S. equity market.
The ETF has lost about -15.18% so far this year and is down about -10.72% in the last one year (as of 06/13/2022). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $41.13 and $50.95.
The ETF has a beta of 1.12 and standard deviation of 28.15% for the trailing three-year period. With about 402 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
SPDR Portfolio S&P 400 Mid Cap ETF holds a Zacks ETF Rank of 2 (Buy), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Because of this, SPMD is a great option for investors seeking exposure to the Style Box - Mid Cap Blend segment of the market. There are other additional ETFs in the space that investors could consider as well.
The Vanguard MidCap ETF (VO) and the iShares Core S&P MidCap ETF (IJH) track a similar index. While Vanguard MidCap ETF has $48.19 billion in assets, iShares Core S&P MidCap ETF has $59.28 billion. VO has an expense ratio of 0.04% and IJH charges 0.05%.
Bottom-Line
Retail and institutional investors increasingly turn to passively managed ETFs because they offer low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency; these kind of funds are also excellent vehicles for long term investors.

CALGARY, AB, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Orpyx® Medical Technologies Inc. (Orpyx), a digital health company focused on extending the health span of patients with diabetes, announced the launch of the Orpyx SI® Flex Sensory Insole system and Orpyx Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) services. This remote monitoring program drives engagement and extends mobility for people living with diabetes by transforming patient care through real-world patient data, analytics, and coaching.
"The launch of Orpyx SI Flex is our next step in enabling Diabetes Healthspan Extension™," stated Dr. Breanne Everett, CEO and co-founder of Orpyx. "In North America, one-third of people are living with diabetes or pre-diabetes which often requires juggling an overwhelming number of actions, measurements, and appointments. By taking a holistic approach through a digital care platform we can dramatically improve upon the current standard of care. We are starting with foot care through robust data generation via our sensory insoles, and supporting patient engagement through RPM and coaching."
The Orpyx SI Flex Sensory Insole system is a wearable technology designed to help prevent plantar foot complications for at-risk patients with peripheral neuropathy. "It is like having a supercomputer on the bottom of each foot," said Denis Brisson, Chief Operating Officer at Orpyx. "Plantar pressure is a leading cause of foot ulceration so by measuring sustained high pressure we can help eliminate the root cause of many of these wounds before they happen."
Along with pressure, the system captures wear time to determine how compliant the patient is to their provider's treatment plan, step count to help dose activity levels, and temperature the last line of defense to indicate when inflammation is present and tissue damage is occurring. The ultra-thin, prefabricated sensory insoles fit in most every-day footwear, making them practical and comfortable for a broad range of patients.
Orpyx is changing the conversation by initially focusing on preventing foot ulceration by generating the most robust set of real-world plantar data. Historically, the focus has been on how to treat patients' foot ulcers after they have already formed, with disappointing results as 25% of people with diabetes will develop an ulcer during their lifetime. These ulcers have a detrimental impact on patients' mobility often resulting in life-shortening events such as amputation which can cause a ripple effect of social isolation, mental health challenges, and in the most complex situations death. Most diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are preventable, so we are on a mission to help patients and providers achieve improved, sustainable outcomes.
"Healthcare systems cannot sustain the current clinical strain of managing the 34 million people with diabetes in the US and the resulting $176B in financial costs. One third of this cost is attributed to lower limb care which is why this is such important work," continued Dan Hughes, Orpyx's Chief Commercial Officer. "Orpyx SI Flex Sensory Insoles and our new RPM services were specifically developed to meet these challenges head-on. Our insoles will play a significant role in the diabetic care pathway enabling patients to take proactive steps to manage their diabetes while reducing the total cost of care for Commercial Payers and Integrated Delivery Networks across the United States. Ultimately, this technology drives alignment and better outcomes for patients, providers, payers, and physicians."
Healthcare providers seeking additional information to help their patients prevent DFUs can learn more about the new Orpyx SI Flex Sensory Insoles at https://www.orpyx.com/orpyx-si-flex-sensory-insoles.

The patient's data is uploaded to the Orpyx SI cloud-based dashboard, where accredited healthcare practitioners remotely monitor it. The remote monitoring team communicates directly with the patient between care visits to ensure ongoing continuity and quality of care.

VANCOUVER, BC, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO) (NYSE AMERICAN: BTG) (NSX: B2G) ("B2Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has published its sixth annual Responsible Mining Report entitled "Raising the Bar" (the "Report"), which details B2Gold's global economic contributions and its environmental, social, and governance management practices, together with the Company's performance against key indicators in 2021. Full details are outlined in the Report, which is available to view or download at www.b2gold.com. All dollar figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
In announcing the release of the Report, Clive Johnson, President & CEO of B2Gold, states "in reflecting on 2021 and its continued challenges, from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, to social or political unrest, to the effects of climate change around the globe, I have asked myself how we as a company have managed to navigate and adapt while still meeting our targets and goals. It has become clear to me that the answer always comes back to B2Gold's core values of fairness, respect, transparency and accountability."
As a responsible gold miner, B2Gold aims to create and distribute economic value among its stakeholders. B2Gold's successful business results benefit its shareholders along with the many other stakeholders in the countries, regions, and communities where it operates. The economic value that the Company generates is distributed among its many stakeholders through local hiring and procurement, direct investment in communities, and payments to governments in the form of taxes and royalties. In 2021, B2Gold:
- achieved record annual gold production for the 13th consecutive year;
- generated $1.76 billion in Annual Revenue;
- paid $153 million as Employee Wages and Benefits;
- spent $9.4 million on Community Investment; and
- paid $408 million to Governments (through taxes and royalties).
B2Gold is committed to maximizing local and national economic benefits from our contracting and purchasing. The Company is aware of the high priority that host communities and governments place on local procurement. In sourcing the goods and services necessary to run its operations, B2Gold gives preference to local businesses where possible, provided they meet minimum safety, quality, ethical, and cost requirements. In 2021, over 65% of goods and services were procured from local and host country businesses. Several 2021 success stories are outlined in the Report.
As a reputable corporate citizen, B2Gold generates local employment and opportunities for people to develop their careers, train employees to acquire new skills, and open doors to women, under-represented groups, and previously disadvantaged people.
At the end of 2021, B2Gold employed 4,6891 people across all operations. The Company continues to maintain high local employment rates by targeting recruitment efforts at regional and national levels, with neighbouring communities being given preference for employment opportunities for unskilled roles. At all B2Gold mines, expatriate employees and advisors are required to transfer skills to identified national employees and mentor appointed understudies.
Across all B2Gold operations, 97% of the total workforce is comprised of local2 employees (an increase from 95% in 2020). Where B2Gold operates abroad, 64% of Senior Management is local, a notable increase from 55% in 2020.
In late 2021, B2Gold implemented a refreshed Policy on Equitable, Diverse and Inclusive (EDI) Workplaces. As articulated in the policy, the Company is dedicated to equitable treatment of all persons, irrespective of gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion and sexual orientation, as well as the reasonable and safe accommodation of people with disabilities. In 2021, B2Gold's workforce saw an increase in female representation to 642 (from 575), which is 13.7% of its total workforce (13.4% in 2020), and 24% of B2Gold's senior positions were occupied by women in 2021 (23% in 2020).
In 2021, the global pandemic continued to challenge the Company's ability to keep its people healthy and safe. B2Gold continued with its robust COVID-19 screening and prevention measures established in 2020, and has worked hard to ensure the highest rates of vaccination across all B2Gold operations. As a result of its injury prevention measures, B2Gold is pleased to report that for the sixth consecutive year it has maintained a zero-fatality workplace and further reduced its Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) and Severity Rate.
B2Gold's consolidated LTIFR and Severity Rate were both reduced from 2020 to 2021, with the LTIFR decreasing from 0.06 to 0.05 and the Severity Rate from 3.53 to 3.46. B2Gold maintained its Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) at 0.27, which remains one of the lowest in the mining industry and is 54% lower than the group average for ICMM member companies (0.59 in 20203).
At an operational level, B2Gold is implementing its 2020 to 2022 Environmental Strategic Plan, which identifies key environmental aspects for improvement and defines specific objectives and targets for its operations. The Environmental Strategic Plan provides a road map for improved environmental risk management and performance in line with the overall Company strategy.
B2Gold recognizes that society, including business, must act against climate change and it is implementing a series of changes within the Company as a key aspect of our Environmental Strategic Plan. In 2021, B2Gold updated its strategy for managing climate risk and in February 2022 the Company published its inaugural Climate Strategy Report. This report details the Company's governance and oversight of its strategy, explains its risk management approach, and presents a preliminary assessment of climate scenarios and prioritized climate risks.
B2Gold supports the objectives set by the Paris Agreement to limit the rise in global temperature to well below 2°C, and will continue to evaluate its climate risk management initiatives to align with these objectives. In 2022, B2Gold will further develop climate scenarios and assess its business and financial implications. The Company is studying various initiatives to increase energy efficiency at its operations and to increase the proportion of its renewable energy sources of its total energy consumption. In 2022, B2Gold will issue its first greenhouse gas emissions reduction target.
Throughout 2021, B2Gold continued its biodiversity conservation programs at its various sites around the world. Download the full Report and read more about B2Gold's monitoring of chimpanzees in Mali, a study to assess the health status of an indigenous tree species in Namibia, and the coastal management plan in the Philippines.
B2Gold is committed to the transparency of our sustainability risks, management, and performance. the Company has reported in alignment with the GRI Standards since 2016, and in 2021 B2Gold added the SASB Standard as reporting framework to its Responsible Mining Report. While the GRI Standards help companies communicate their sustainability impacts, the SASB Standard was designed to help companies communicate how different sustainability issues impact a company's long-term value.
B2Gold firmly believes that the mining industry has an opportunity to contribute positively to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and it has reported the Company's contribution in this regard since 2018.
The challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic created opportunities for the mining industry to demonstrate its ability to adapt to changing operating circumstances. As a result of B2Gold's culture of health and safety and support for the communities where it operates, B2Gold was able to successfully respond to the challenges posed by COVID-19, contributing to community resilience and sustained positive economic impacts in the countries where B2Gold operates.
In 2021, various measures such as changes to rotations, COVID-19 site incentives, fatigue management, mental health support, increased site accommodation, flexible work arrangements, and revised illness and disability policies successfully supported the Company's workforce through the turbulent times of COVID-19. Strong employee relations were sustained at all operations through proactive communication from management and through employee representative committees and/or COVID-19 committees regarding changing measures, policies, and employee support and benefits. The Employee Engagement Committee at Masbate won the 2021 regional and national award for the Most Outstanding Labour Management Cooperation for Industrial Peace. The award recognized labour management initiatives that remained true to the values of cooperation and partnership despite the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Armed with additional knowledge and tools to successfully manage the COVID-19 pandemic's impacts, B2Gold will continue to work with its host communities and local, regional and national governments, and the private sector to find new ways to adapt to the "new normal" as the pandemic enters its third year. At B2Gold, our sustainable business strategy has allowed us to be well positioned to maintain agility and resilience as the world completes its recovery.

TORONTO, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Able Innovations™, a Toronto-based robotic medical device start-up, is garnering significant support for its revolutionary ALTA Platform™ with an announcement of a total raise of USD $6MM. This represents previously unannounced venture capital and grant funding, including USD $2.5MM in non-dilutive funding.
Able Innovations is using robotics to transform processes for healthcare staff by incorporating safety and dignity into a routine procedure that affects providers and patients.
The ALTA Platform automates the demanding task of patient transfer: moving a patient from one surface to another — e.g.: from bed to stretcher. Such transfers occur frequently and require 2 or more staff to exert back-breaking effort. In a post-pandemic system that is seeing nurses burn out and facilities short-staffed, ALTA enables workers to do more with less.
Able Innovations' founders Jayiesh Singh and Philip Chang began developing ALTA in 2018, drawing from Jay's experience volunteering in long-term care, and Philip's struggles with transfer as a patient himself.
"The intense effort required in patient transfer under the current standard of care is not sustainable," says Able CEO Jayiesh Singh. "The pandemic has widened cracks in the healthcare system, and patient transfer is one of them."
Able's unique solution has resulted in partnerships with leading Canadian and American systems including the U.S. Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Toronto's University Health Network (UHN), and Ottawa's Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital.
"Able is redefining values related to patient transfers," says Dr. Gaurav Puri, Chief of Emergency at Southlake Regional Hospital. "Able has demonstrated its commitment to a device that transfers patients safely, efficiently, and with dignity, while minimizing injuries to staff."
Able Innovations gratefully acknowledges support of crucial investors and funders including:
- Champion physicians Dr. Gaurav Puri and Dr. Andrew Vellathottam
- NorthSpring Capital Partners
- University of Waterloo's incubator, Velocity, and its Health Tech Fund
- Ontario Centre of Innovation's Market Readiness Fund
- Federal and provincial government grants
Read more about ALTA and Able in this BetaKit profile.
Able Innovations is solving the painful and labor-intensive process of patient transfers through technology that enables effortless, hands-free, safe and dignified transfers. The ALTA Platform can transfer supine individuals laterally — e.g.: bed to stretcher or imaging table — seamlessly and automatically.

Intercepts 206 AgEq g/t over 41 metres
VANCOUVER, BC, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX: ASM) (NYSE American: ASM) (FSE: GV6) ("Avino" or "the Company") is pleased to announce further drill results from Phase 2 of its 2021/2022 exploration program.
These latest results represent assays from six holes completed below the current Level 17 mining area, approximately 1,850 metres above sea level at Avino Elena Tolosa ("ET ") area to define the continuity of economic mineralization at depth in the central part of the vein. The drilling results have confirmed the downdip continuity of widths and grades of the Avino vein extending significant potential to a depth of at least 290 metre down dip below current development.
"This ET area drilling below Level 17 is very encouraging and confirms our expectation that not only does the mineralization continue at depth, but it also contains significantly higher copper mineralization as is often the case with porphyry deposits", said David Wolfin, President and CEO. "Since 2019 following our sale of Bralorne, we have focused our resources on creating value at the Avino property by optimizing production, completing a complimentary property acquisition in La Preciosa and executing an exploration strategy focused on growing the resource base. To execute our exploration strategy, we have expanded our technical team, some of whom, are seasoned geologists having worked on large Mexican mining projects. Avino has been a consistent producer over the years, and we are excited by these high-grade copper intercepts encountered at depth within our permit boundaries and we will continue to pursue value enhancing exploration initiatives across our core assets."
To view an interactive 3D model that includes the results announced today use the following link or visit Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd.'s website:
Current drilling results are 290 metres down dip of Level 17, the lowest developed point of the ET Area of Avino. We are developing a geological model based on the "near porphyry" environment. The persistence of grade continuity from surface down a plunge distance of over 800 metres (600 metres vertical) and base metal zonation supports the likelihood of a deep mineralized system and could possibly be linked to a porphyry centre."
Geological modelling is advancing to determine the potential geometry and controls of the mineralization. A second drill has been added to this program which includes a total of 13 drill holes for approximately 7, 000 metres of total length for 2022.
The Property contains numerous low-sulphidation epithermal veins (including the Avino vein), breccias, stockwork, and silicified zones that grade into a "near porphyry" environment within a large caldera. The caldera has been uplifted by regional north-trending block faulting (a graben structure), exposing a window of andesitic pyroclastic rocks of the lower volcanic sequence within the caldera. The Lower Volcanic Sequence is overlain by the Upper Volcanic Sequence, consisting of rhyolite to trachyte flows and extensive ignimbrites and intruded by monzonite bodies. The copper / silver ratio in the Avino vein consistently increases from less than 100 above
8 level to over 400 at 17 level and below. The direction of this increase plunges towards the east in the Avino vein, suggesting changing pressure and temperature conditions with depth at the time of mineralization and possibly reflecting a transition from epithermal to porphyry-style mineralization.
Six holes totalling 3,373 metres drilled were completed to investigate the continuity of mineralization in the central part of the ET Area. Five of the holes intercepted the mineralization within the vein and stockwork and are reported in Table 1.
Vein-type mineralization and stockwork with mineralization of Au, Ag, and Cu are found along the contacts between intrusive rock and an andesite and provide opportunities within the ET Area for the identification and delineation of additional mineral resources that remain open on strike and dip (see Figure 1 for the projections of the resource relative to the drilled holes). The Inclined distance of the Avino vein at the ET Mine from surface is approximately 520 metres as shown in figure 3. This recent deeper drilling suggests that the mineralization persists down dip for an additional 290 metres past the lowest developed mining level. Currently, the mine levels have a vertical separation of 20 metres, suggesting a potential further 14 additional underground levels may be required (depending on economic conditions) to mine the mineralization.
Selected high grade intercepts include:
- Hole Number - ET 22-01: 206 AgEq g/t over 41.0 metres, including 4,527 AgEq g/t over 0.19 metres
- Hole Number – ET 21-08: 226 AgEq g/t over 30 metres, including 617 AgEq g/t over 0.65 metres.
Details are shown in the table and images below.
Table 1 - Summary Drill Results (2021 and 2022 Deep Campaign)
Following detailed geological and geotechnical logging, drill core samples were cut in half. One half of the core was submitted to the SGS Laboratory facility in Durango, Mexico, and the other half is retained on-site for verification and reference. Gold is assayed by fire assay with an AA finish. Any samples exceeding 3.0 gold grams/tonne are re-assayed and followed by a gravimetric finish. Multi-element analyses are also completed for each sample by SGS ICP14B methods. Any copper values exceeding 10,000 ppm (1%) are assayed using ICP 90Q. Silver is fire assayed with a gravimetric finish for samples assaying over 100 grams/tonne.
Avino uses a series of standard reference materials (SRMs), blank reference materials (blanks), and duplicates as part of their QA/QC program during analysis of assays.
Avino's projects in Durango, Mexico are under the geoscientific oversight of Michael F. O'Brien, P.Geo., Senior Principal Consultant, Red Pennant Communications, and under the supervision of Peter Latta, P.Eng, Avino's VP, Technical Services, who are both qualified persons within the context of NI 43-101. Both have reviewed and approved the technical data in this news release.
Avino is primarily a silver producer from its wholly owned Avino Mine near Durango, Mexico. The Company's silver, gold and copper production remains unhedged. The Company's mission and strategy is to create shareholder value through its focus on profitable organic growth at the historic Avino Property and the strategic acquisition of mineral exploration and mining properties. We are committed to managing all business activities in a safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective manner, while contributing to the well-being of the communities in which we operate.

As challenges are mounting for the traditional correspondent banking model, innovative technology can reduce the risks and increase speed and global reach
TEL-AVIV, Israel, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Although the correspondent banking model has existed in various forms for centuries, today it faces many challenges that mean it must evolve to remain relevant. The urgent need for change was underlined by the G20 in April 2020, when the Financial Stability Board (FSB) called for the public and private sectors to cooperate on innovation projects. As a result, in October 2021, the FSB issued the G20 Roadmap for Enhancing Cross-border Payments.
Facing the future
There are four main problems that payment innovators must solve: high cost, low speed, limited access, and limited transparency. Together they present serious obstacles to growth and financial inclusion together with correspondent banking being preserved for privileged regions and customer types.
Smaller local banks, money service businesses, and regulated FinTechs are excluded from traditional correspondent banking because of a binary risk-based approach. Instead of managing risks, banks frequently make simple yes/no decisions, pushing the underserved to use unregulated or lightly regulated services for payments.
The key issue is that banks are assessing opportunities on a subjective basis. Rather than focus on the merits of individual transactions, one transaction at a time, they are entering (or exiting) correspondent relationships based solely on the perceived risks in a particular geography or with a particular customer.
Payments in the digital era
TenureX has collaborated with Google Cloud to develop a secure and trusted cloud service which shall eliminate the constraints of bilateral, relationship-based banking. With TenureX, financial counterparties can cooperate seamlessly and confidently, one transaction at a time.
Built on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), TenureX promises to completely unlock the legacy of operations of correspondent banking. TenureX creates a digital layer that enables new payment corridors and new customers to join the banking ecosystem through a pay-per-transaction model instead of the relationship model, which is effectively a membership club. TenureX doesn't bypass or disrupt correspondent banking; it adds value and control to the existing structure and uses transaction data to strengthen the interface between banks and increase trust.
Ben Yaniv Chechik, TenureX Founder and CTO:
We chose GCP mainly because of their security and compliance, as well their stability & scalability. GCP offers us a wide variety of data processing services (such as the magical BigQuery) and a way to process massive amounts of data at a rapid pace. We embedded these services into our platform to be able to provide a powerful solution for financial institutions to transform the way they operate correspondent banking. As TenureX serves financial institutions around the world, latency is another challenge. GCP provides a better latency through their 10Tbs cable system. These are crucial elements for us as we aim to deliver & enhance value to financial institution's customers while reducing costs, improving efficiencies, and enabling growth, all while adhering to the strictest security and compliance standards."
With GCP's solid integrity, security and reduced risk, TenureX is promised to allow its counterparties to communicate multilaterally and objectively in real time, reduce operating costs, gain new revenue streams, diversify income, and boost financial inclusion.
Developed with help from Google Cloud Services, the TenureX Platform mission will make a major contribution to the G20 Roadmap for Enhancing Cross-border Payments.

Development program for VLX-1005, a novel small molecule 12-LOX inhibitor, awarded Fast Track designation by US Food and Drug Administration
FREDERICK, Md., June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Veralox Therapeutics, a biotechnology company developing first-in-class small molecule therapeutics that treat serious immuno-inflammatory diseases with significant unmet medical needs, today announced favorable results from the Company's Phase 1 clinical program for VLX-1005, a novel 12-LOX inhibitor being developed for the treatment and prevention of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (HIT). Veralox also announced that VLX-1005 has been awarded Fast Track Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
"Completion of our Phase 1 study for VLX-1005 together with announcement of Fast Track Designation for this program represent important milestones that reflect the new levels of momentum we are achieving with our clinical strategy at Veralox," said Michael Hanna, Chief Medical Officer at Veralox. "We look forward to continuing our development of VLX-1005 to address the underlying pathology of HIT, a disease that has not seen innovation in available therapies in over 20 years."
Veralox completed a Phase 1a study consisting of a single ascending dose (SAD) portion and a multiple ascending dose (MAD) portion that was designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of VLX-1005. In this study VLX-1005 was found to be well tolerated with no reports of serious adverse events (SAEs), dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) or discontinuations; adverse events (AEs) were infrequent and mild. Data analyses revealed dose linear increases in key PK metrics approaching dose proportionality with no upper limits on tolerability to the maximum dose tested.
Veralox also completed a Phase 1b drug-drug interaction (DDI) study of VLX-1005 in conjunction with argatroban, an anticoagulant that is approved for the treatment of HIT in the U.S. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of coadministration of VLX-1005 and argatroban on subject safety and on a range of exploratory biomarkers. The study showed that co-administration of VLX-1005 with argatroban was well tolerated with no SAEs; AEs were infrequent and mild. Preliminary analysis of the PK and PD (as measured by APTT) data revealed no evidence of DDI.
The FDA granted Fast Track designation for the VLX-1005 program on May 27, 2022, following an End-of-Phase 1 meeting with the Agency. The company will use the results of the successful Phase 1 studies as well as the standards inherent in Fast Track designation and previously announced Orphan Drug designation to finalize the design of the planned Phase 2 clinical program for VLX-1005 in HIT.
VERALOX Therapeutics Inc. (https://veralox.com/) is the clinical leader in developing first-in-class therapeutics targeting 12-lipoxygenase, pioneering a new class of therapies that treat the underlying pathologies of serious immune-inflammatory diseases with unmet medical needs. The company's lead candidate, VLX-1005, is in development for the treatment of patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). Second generation therapeutic products are under development for type 1 diabetes and other immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases.

Investment managers of an AIF (alternative investment fund) can provide investment management services to the offshore fund only by getting registered as portfolio managers, according to markets regulator Sebi.
Providing an informal guidance in this regard to Ace Lansdowne Investments Services LLP, which manages Sebi-registered AIF -- Ace Lansdowne India Investment Fund-- Sebi indicated that its views might be different for different conditions.
It had sought clarity whether the applicant, which is already acting as the investment manager of an AIF, can provide investment management services to the offshore fund and whether the applicant is required to obtain registration as a portfolio manager.
The applicant was intending to manage an offshore fund, which will be domiciled in Ireland and the offshore fund would make investments primarily in the permissible listed securities of Indian companies through recognised stock exchanges in India.
After looking into submissions, Sebi said, ''an investment manager of Sebi-registered AIF can provide investment management services to the offshore fund in Ireland only by obtaining the certificate of registration as a portfolio manager under the PMS Regulations to act as an eligible fund manager''.
It further clarified that the manager of an AIF is not exempted from obtaining registrations under the PMS (portfolio management service) rules to provide investment management services to the offshore fund in Ireland.
''Unlike the Sebi (Investment Advisors) Regulations 2013, the PMS Regulations do not provide for any specific exemptions from registration to any entity and therefore the applicant will have to adhere to the provisions of the PMS Regulations,'' the regulator said in an informal guidance made public on Monday.

SYDNEY, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kazia Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA; ASX: KZA), an oncology-focused drug development company, is pleased to announce the presentation of new data regarding the activity of paxalisib in two forms of childhood brain cancer with poor prognosis and limited treatment options.
The data is the subject of two poster presentations at the 20th International Symposium on Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (ISPNO), held in Hamburg, Germany, from 12-15 June 2022.
The first poster is presented by Dr Jeffrey Rubens at Johns Hopkins University and describes the activity of paxalisib in combination with a second drug in animal models of atypical teratoid / rhabdoid tumors (AT/RT). This builds on work previously presented at the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in April 2022.
The second poster presents work led by Associate Professor Matt Dun at the Hunter Medical Research Institute at the University of Newcastle, Australia, and involving collaboration by ten international laboratories and leading paediatric cancer centres. The research principally relates to the combination of paxalisib with ONC201, an investigational therapy manufactured by Chimerix, Inc, in the treatment of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). While the primary focus of the ISPNO presentation concerns animal models of the disease, two clinical case studies are also reported. Importantly, these data underpin the ongoing phase II clinical trial testing the safety and efficacy of paxalisib and ONC201 in DIPG.
Upcoming Webinar
Lead investigator on the DIPG research, Dr Matt Dun, will participate in an investor webinar alongside Kazia CEO, Dr James Garner, and Kazia Chief Medical Officer, Dr John Friend, to discuss the new ISPNO data and the broader context of Kazia's work in childhood brain cancer. The webinar is scheduled for 5pm, ET, on Wednesday, June 22nd (7am, Sydney time on Thursday, 23rd June), and interested parties may register via the following link:
Key Points
- Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are a group of childhood brain cancers which include DIPG, and which represent approximately 15% of brain tumours in children. Life expectancy from diagnosis is estimated to be 9-11 months, and there are no FDA-approved drug treatments.
- ONC201, a dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) antagonist, shows single-agent efficacy in DIPG, but patients invariably become resistant to therapy over time. A key resistance mechanism involves activation of the PI3K pathway, which is the target of paxalisib.
- Two patients who received the combination of ONC201 and paxalisib under compassionate access demonstrated "dramatic reductions in tumor volume and complete resolution of disease symptoms, extending overall survival".
- Using two aggressive autopsy animal models of DIPG the combination of paxalisib and ONC201 synergistically extended survival from 73 to 100 days (37%) and from 36 to 43 days (19%), respectively.
- On the basis of this research, a clinical trial (NCT05009992) of the combination commenced recruitment in November 2021 under the sponsorship of the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC). The study is ongoing, with initial data anticipated in 1H CY2023.
"Brain tumours are the second most common cancer of children, but the leading cause of death, with the prognosis for aggressive forms of the disease such as DIPG remaining woeful," said Dr Matt Dun, lead investigator of the DIPG research. "It is vital that we find new treatments. This research collaboration has united many of the leading international centres in this field and has deployed cutting edge research tools to identify an extremely promising combination of therapies. My colleagues and I hope to see these laboratory findings validated in the ongoing PNOC clinical trial, which may establish ONC201 and paxalisib as the cornerstones of treatment for children and their families affected by this disease."
Kazia CEO, Dr James Garner, added, "Dr Dun's painstaking research over several years has yielded enormous insight into potential treatments for DIPG. We are excited to see such an emphatic demonstration of the potential for ONC201 and paxalisib to provide benefit in this disease. We are firmly committed to taking paxalisib forward in childhood brain cancer, and very much hope that the work of world-leading scientists such as Dr Dun will help to bring hope to all those touched by diseases such as DIPG."

Curry's diagnosis for Game 4 of finals: 'I'm going to play'
BOSTON — (AP) — Even as he lay on the court, with 240-pound Celtics center Al Horford on top of his recently recovered left ankle, Stephen Curry knew what was wrong.
And as soon as he stood up and took a few steps, he knew he would be OK.
“I’m going to play. That’s all I know right now,” the Warriors star said on Thursday, a day before Golden State will face Boston in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
“I know exactly what it is,” said Curry, who hurt the same ankle on a similar play in a late-season game against Boston. “I guess (there’s) comfort knowing I’ve been through it before, but also you would rather not have to deal with something like that at this point in the season.”
Curry wound up at the bottom of a pile Wednesday night as players from both teams dove for a loose ball late in the fourth quarter. Teammate Draymond Green said he heard Curry scream in pain, but the Warriors star remained in the game until coach Steve Kerr sent in the bench trailing by 14 with two minutes left.
The Celtics held on to win 116-100 and take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Golden State needs a win on Friday night to avoid falling behind 3-1 before the series shifts back to San Francisco.
A key to them avoiding the brink of elimination: Curry not just remaining healthy, but playing like a two-time NBA MVP. The Warriors guard scored 31 points in Game 3, but just two of them came in the fourth quarter as the league-leading Celtics defense chased him around the court.
Golden State held a film session Thursday, but the team's regulars did not practice. Curry appeared to walk without a limp when he entered the media room to talk to reporters, and he took the steps to the podium three at a time. He had no bandage or brace on his leg.
Curry said he got plenty of sleep — 10 1/2 hours — and spent some time with his foot in an ice bucket. But he said he did not need an MRI because the injury was the same as the one he sustained when Celtics guard Marcus Smart landed on his foot in a March 16 game in San Francisco.
“This one just wasn’t as bad as that one,” said Curry, who missed the last 12 games of the regular season. “As soon as you started to take a couple of steps, you kind of know whether you can run normal, cut normal or not. Back then, I couldn’t. Yesterday, I could. That gave me a little bit of confidence knowing it wasn’t as bad.”
Asked Thursday if he would be sitting out if it were a regular-season game, Curry said he couldn't say for sure.
But for Game 4 of the NBA Finals, there's no question.
“I know I’m going to play,” he said.
The Celtics listed center Robert Williams III as questionable on Thursday with the left knee injury that required late-season surgery and kept him out for seven of the team’s first 14 playoff games.
Boston coach Ime Udoka said forward Jayson Tatum is dealing with a right shoulder stinger.
“That’s going to flare up whenever he gets hit the wrong way,” Udoka said. “(He) had to shoot some free throws after, might be a little numb there. He is shooting threes right after, so I’m not sure it hampers his ability to finish at all.”
THREE GOOD QUARTERS
Golden State has outscored Boston in the third quarter of all three games so far, so a reporter asked Kerr why they can’t start the game the same way.
“I ask myself that question very often,” he said, “and I don’t have an answer.”
The Warriors have outscored the Celtics by a combined score of 106-63 in the finals. Golden State had a 33-25 edge on Wednesday night, eliminating a 12-point halftime deficit and briefly taking the lead.
Kerr joked that he has a book of “incredibly inspiring quotes” he calls on.
“I just try to pull out the right one,” he said. “And if I get them fired up and they’re excited, then they seem to play better.”
The third quarter struggles are a recurring problem for the Celtics, who similar lapses against Miami and Milwaukee.
“It’s just one of those things where it’s a mystery,” Smart said. “We’re definitely trying to not keep that pattern going.”

Indian authorities demolish homes of Muslim protesters after riots triggered by remarks about prophet Muhammad
Remarks also sparked diplomatic row between India and Muslim-majority key trade partner countries in Middle East and Asia
Authorities in India’s northern state of Uttar Pradesh demolished the homes of several Muslim people over the weekend for being allegedly involved in riots that were triggered by derogatory remarks made against prophet Muhammad.
Muslims across the country have taken to the streets to protest the remarks made against the prophet by former spokesperson Nupur Sharma and media chief Naveen Jindal of prime minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The remarks also sparked a diplomatic row between India and Muslim-majority key trade partner countries in the Middle East and Asia.
Ms Sharma has been suspended from the party while Mr Jindal has been expelled due to the growing diplomatic backlash.
However, the protests turned violent in several states, with clashes erupting between Hindus and Muslims and protesters and the police in several areas. Over 300 people were arrested in Uttar Pradesh alone in connection with the unrest.
Following the protests, the state's right-wing chief minister Yogi Adityanath ordered officials to demolish any illegal establishments and homes of people accused of involvement in the riots.
Three Muslim-owned houses in Prayagraj, including the house of a rights activist, were bulldozed amid heavy police presence on Sunday.
Two of the razed houses belonged to people accused of throwing stones following the Friday prayers.
Javed Mohammed, a politician and father of activist Afreen Fatima, was reportedly arrested on Saturday and the family was asked to vacate the house by 11am on Sunday.
Authorities had claimed that Mr Mohammed was given a notice on 10 May to appear for a hearing on 24 May, to which he failed to comply. However, the claim was refuted by the family.
“We were not protesting on Friday. None of us were a part of protests that were happening in Allahabad... We were at home,” Ms Fatima told Al Jazeera.
“We have been paying our house tax for around 20 years and not once have we received any intimation by any development authorities that our house is illegal,” she added. The local police have alleged it found “illegal weapons” in his house during the demolition.
Critics and opposition parties in India have accused the BJP government of illegally demolishing Muslim homes in an effort to intimidate minorities.
The prime minister has so far not commented on the communal unrest.
A group of lawyers have written to the Allahabad High Court stating that the demolition was against the law. “No earlier notices of illegal construction [were] received by the accused or his wife,” they told the court.
Meanwhile, two Muslim teenagers died of gunshot wounds during clashes with police on Friday in Ranchi in Jharkhand state. Local reports said at least 10 were being treated for various injuries.
In West Bengal, authorities enforced an emergency law prohibiting public gatherings in the industrial district of Howrah until 16 June after protests demanding Ms Sharma’s arrest turned violent.
The state president of BJP staged a sit-in protest and accused neighbouring Bangladesh, a mainly Muslim nation, of inciting violence in the state.
Thousands of people also took to the streets in Bangladesh and Pakistan to protest the remarks against the prophet.
Thousands walked the streets near the main Baitul Mukarram Mosque in downtown Dhaka, Bangladesh’s capital, after Friday prayers and raised slogans against the Indian government and Mr Modi.

German Court Orders Betano to Return Sports Bettor’s Money
Posted on: June 13, 2022, 05:31h.
Last updated on: June 13, 2022, 05:31h.
Sports betting operator Betano is going to have to give a German bettor his money back. The German District Court of Ludwigslust ordered the operator to refund him €4,380 (US$4,608) in player losses.
The bettor lost €5,380 (US$5,638) at the Kaizen Gaming-owned sportsbook between February 20 and March 4 of last year. However, when Germany updated its betting laws, it implemented a €1,000 (US$1,047) loss limit. Therefore, the Betano user lost more than the limit allows.
Additionally, Istvan Cocron, the player’s lawyer, stated that the player was also registered under the OASIS self-exclusion system. As a result, the court in Ludwigslust, located just outside of Hamburg in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, returned everything above the loss limit to him.
Lax Loss Limit Protocols
The loss limit was initially applied at the operator level. However, Germany’s Fourth Interstate Treaty on Gambling later extended it. When the states signed the treaty last year, it included players’ spending across all operators in the regulated market.
In addition, the fact that he registered in OASIS played a big part in the court’s decision. The purpose of the standard is to protect banned players from financial losses. In particular, it also applies to the protection of gambling-addicted players from themselves.
If a player gambles after registering with OASIS, the gaming contracts are null and void. The onus of ensuring that banned players cannot participate in their activity lies with the operator, according to the court.
International operator Allwyn purchased a 36.75% share in Betano from OPAP in April. The deal included €50 million (US$52.3 million) upfront and undisclosed earnouts based on Betano’s performance over the next three years.
More Bettors May Receive Refunds
The court’s decision could have implications for other bettors in Germany, which could further impact the strength of the country’s legal betting industry. Cocron stated during the hearing, “Both in online sports betting and online gaming, for which there was a far-reaching ban in Germany until July 1, 2021, there is a good chance of winning back stakes that seem to have been lost.”
Time and again, Maltese providers of online gambling reimburse consumers in Germany for their losses. This is because, according to the Interstate Treaty on Gambling, online gambling of any kind is only legal if the provider of such services is in possession of a German license.
Only since July 1, 2021, can casinos legally present their platforms in Germany if they have a national license. This results in a clear legal situation.
Anyone who has lost money with an online gambling provider before this deadline can definitely reclaim it. The same applies so far to the time after because, to date, no foreign provider in Germany has acquired an effective license.
However, it isn’t that simple. Consumer protection lawyer Dr. Gerrit W. Hartung believes that there are 30 to 50 providers of online casinos in Germany. Furthermore, he points out that the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt recently made it clear that a court will only deny the repayment claim if players knew about the illegality of online gambling.
As a result, the players have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they didn’t know online gambling was illegal. Anyone who can, however, could receive a refund for all of their online gambling activity.

BROOMFIELD, Colo., June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Titan Development ("Titan") and Pivot Development ("Pivot"), leading real estate development and investment firms, today hosted a groundbreaking event on The Lock at Flatirons, a new $80 million, 254-unit luxury multifamily development in the Interlocken Technology Park within the MidCities District of Broomfield, Colorado, a suburb of Denver. The project, which was announced in July 2021 and began construction in December 2021, is planned for completion in the second quarter of 2024. Dwell Design is the project architect, Shaw Construction is the general contractor and FPI Management will be the operator.
The 3.3-acre complex at 460 Flatiron Blvd. is directly off the Interlocken Loop and near the Denver Boulder turnpike, an important area thoroughfare, and Broomfield's location at the midpoint between Denver and Boulder will offer residents easy access to both cities and nearby employers including Ball Corporation, Oracle, Salesforce, Uber, CenturyLink and Vail Resorts. As part of the Interlocken area, the development is within walking distance of many retail, dining and entertainment venues, and nearby are golf courses, hotels and the FlatIron Crossing shopping center. The property is located in the Boulder Valley School District, which consistently ranks among the top three of Colorado's large Front Range school districts.
The Lock at Flatirons will feature upscale fixtures, finishes and appliances in all units, a sky lounge with Flatirons view, fitness center, resort style pool and spa, bike storage and stations, a dog park and dog spa, secure access parking, technology packages throughout the property and co-working space. Smart home technology will be installed for increased resident safety. Floor plans include studio, one- two- and three-bedroom apartments. Residents will experience the amenities of urban living combined with the convenience and comfort of suburban living.
"We're excited to bring The Lock at Flatirons to Broomfield residents in conjunction with our partners at Pivot," said Josh Rogers, Senior Vice President at Titan. "The Denver area is one of the nation's fastest-growing regions for high-income renters, which when combined with the national housing shortage presents a tremendous opportunity for us to bring best-in-class apartment living to the young professionals working in the area, as well as attract residents from the greater Broomfield community."
"With the combined multifamily experience between Pivot and Titan, we know this will be a top quality Class A multifamily development," said L. Matthew Hare, President and Chief Investment Officer at Pivot Development. "The anticipation is well worth the wait for Pivot's first multifamily project in Broomfield – the market is in need of housing, and Pivot Development wants to be part of meeting that need in our Colorado communities."
The Lock at Flatirons is the first Colorado project for Pivot Development, which was founded in 2018 and focuses on the urban and suburban multifamily sector; the company has offices in Carmel, Indiana, and Greenwood Village in Colorado. Titan Development, which has offices in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Austin, Texas, has strong track records of multifamily, industrial and self-storage projects across the Southwest.
"The City of Broomfield is happy to welcome well-respected developers such as Titan and Pivot to our community," said Guyleen Castriotta, Broomfield Mayor. "The Lock at Flatirons supports one of the City's initiatives to secure a range of housing choices for current and future residents."

Elton John is set to make his one and only visit to Sunderland this Sunday, 19 June, as he takes to the stage at the Stadium of Light as part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting the Rocket Man icon’s appearance on Wearside after it was confirmed that he would play at the Stadium in June last year. The star was sadly forced to postpone some dates on his Farewell tour to 2023 after suffering a nasty fall back in September, but luckily for Sunderland fans the gig is going ahead this weekend.
The concert promises to follow in the footsteps of Ed Sheeran ’s time at the Stadium earlier this month, which saw 115,000 fans descend on Sunderland over two nights to watch the star perform. The Stadium is expected to be packed once again for Elton’s appearance on Sunday - although for any fan who’s yet to snap up a seat, tickets are still available for the gig on Ticketmaster .

The cheapest tickets are available in the Stands in Block P, which makes up the back rows of the stadium, with prices starting from £49 each plus a booking fee. Block U in front of Block P in the Stands also has some cheaper options still on offer - single tickets are going in parts of this block from £49.50 each.
Most of the seats under £99 are placed in Blocks P and U - the closest you can get to the stage without forking out more than £100 is in Block DD6, with one Resale ticket currently available in this Floor section for £85. Several seats in Block L, the closest seating section to the stage available in the Stands, are going for £99 each, as are plenty in Block U - but if you want to be a bit closer to the action, you can expect to cough up over £100 for remaining tickets .
Down on the Floor area, Resale tickets are going for up to a staggering £460 each - but Floor spaces start from £115 in Block C, climbing up to £138 for the lowest price in Block B in front. Tickets are still up for grabs in Block A, the closest area to the stage, starting from £150 - with Ticketmaster advertising the “Best Seats” in the house available directly in front of the stage for £415 as a Resale.

Israeli cloud-based web development services provider Wix.com Ltd. (Nasdaq: WIX) cofounder and CEO Avishai Abrahami is suing a New York law firm for allegedly violating its professional obligations and malpractice, causing him to lose $30 million. This was the amount that Abrahami (together with others) loaned a real estate company and was not repaid. Last week a US Federal judge in a New York Court dismissed an attempt by the New York law firm Meister, Seelig & Fein LLP (MSF) to throw the case out of court.
The story began in August 2020, when Abrahami was presented with a business opportunity by HFZ Capital Group principal Ziel Feldman, the former controlling shareholder in Polar Investments, which was traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, before signing two debt settlements a decade ago with creditors for more than NIS 100 million.
According to the lawsuit, it was proposed that Abrahami provide HFZ will a $30 million loan, which would be partly guaranteed by the holdings of three subsidiaries that owned three buildings (warehouses) in New York, Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Nashville, Tennessee. Abrahami believed that if the loan was not repaid these buildings would serve as collateral and he would receive ownership of them.
The lawsuit details how Abrahami approached MSF to represent him on the matter, while Israeli lawyer Adv. Shachar Shimony handled the issue with the New York law firm. According to the lawsuit, Shimony turned to MSF on a matter that it defined as "critical to Abrahami," so that he could ensure receipt of the properties as quickly and easily as possible, without legal proceedings, in the event that the lenders did not repay the loan. But on the three warehouses there was a previous mortgage, even though the borrowers' holdings in these assets were held in escrow by MSF, so that it was guaranteed that they would be transferred to Avrahami, in the event that the loan amount was not repaid to him.
The lawsuit details how Adv. Shimony sent several emails to MSF trying to clarify the matter and received an answer that these terms, "would guarantee the loan and would be an alternative to legal proceedings. This structure will not require the lender (Abrahami) to go to court, in the event of default on the loan."
The Israeli lawyer was not convinced and asked further questions, to which MSF responded that the borrowers would not be able to prevent the sale of the properties but mentioned that the mortgage could impede efforts by the lender to take control of them. In their words, if Abrahami would pay the debt of the mortgage in full, including interest and fines, if necessary, then he could receive the properties. On the basis of this interpretation, Abrahami agreed to lend the amount, which was transferred in September 2020.
The investment company: Transferring the properties would be fraud and a violate of the agreement with the borrower
The twist in the plot occurred in November 2020, two months after the money was transferred, when the law firm received a letter from US investment company Monroe Capital, which said that it had a lien on the borrower's properties, granted to them in 2017-2018, following two loans amounting to $160 million.
The letter also said that these previous loans provided by Monroe had already been defaulted on before Abrahami had extended his loan and that its loan agreements did not allow the lenders to sign loans agreements of the kind provided by Abrahami, nor did it allow the transfer of the holdings to him. Monroe even pointed out that a sales process for part of the properties (including those related to Abrahami's loan) would already begin at the start of December 2020. MSF did not inform Abrahami of the situation until December 18.
In March 2021, when the repayments of the loan transferred to HFZ were not made to him, Abrahami notified the lenders that they had defaulted, in accordance with the loan agreement. The lenders did not respond and until today have not repaid the sum. Several days after notifying the lenders, Abrahami contacted the law firm asking them to release the properties from the trust but Monroe insisted that such a step could not be taken and alleged that transferring the properties, according to the agreement with Abrahami, would represent fraud and a violation of the agreement it had signed with the lenders. To date, MSF has not released the holdings.
According to a lawsuit filed at the end of 2021 by Abrahami, MSF violated its professional obligation and worked negligently for several reasons. Firstly, by not providing him with proper legal advice regarding the loan and by not telling him that there was a demand regarding the properties; secondly, by promising him that the escrow agreement would protect him in the event of default; thirdly by not reporting to Abrahami about the previous loan that Monroe had extended to the lenders; and fourthly by not notifying him and not taking action on time regarding the announcement of the expected sale of the properties in December 2021.
Abrahami is requesting compensation of at least $30 million, including costs and damages as well as the legal costs of the process. The law firm is apparently claiming that Abrahami was supposed to receive the money from the lender but because they are bankrupt, such a process would be long and complicated. But Abrahami charges that he has been caused damage by the fact of the law firm's malpractice and is therefore suing them for the amount. It is reasonable to assume that should Abrahami win in court, then he would receive the sum from the law firm's insurance.
In its motion to the New York court to have the case dismissed, MSF argued that Abrahami's complaint failed to state a claim for legal malpractice under New York law. "To prevail on a legal malpractice claim in New York, a plaintiff must demonstrate ‘that the attorney was negligent, that the negligence was a proximate cause of the injury and that (the plaintiff) suffered actual and ascertainable damages.'"
For purposes of this motion, MSF did not dispute that the complaint plausibly alleges negligence. Instead, MSF moved to dismiss the complaint on the grounds that Abrahami had failed to adequately plead proximate cause and actual and ascertainable damages.
Abrahami has stakes in 14 companies and has made six exits
Abrahami cofounded Wix in 2006 and in 2013 led a successful IPO on Nasdaq at a company valuation of $600 million. The company is currently worth $3.3 billion, although at its peak in February 2021, it was worth $20 billion.
Abrahami holds a 3.3% stake in Wix worth $112 million. He also holds a stake in Israeli work operating system company monday.com worth $143 million. According to IVC, Abrahami is an active angel investor who has stakes in 14 companies, six of which have held exits, although he has retained his stake in some of these companies after the exit.

VANCOUVER, BC, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO) (NYSE AMERICAN: BTG) (NSX: B2G) ("B2Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has published its sixth annual Responsible Mining Report entitled "Raising the Bar" (the "Report"), which details B2Gold's global economic contributions and its environmental, social, and governance management practices, together with the Company's performance against key indicators in 2021. Full details are outlined in the Report, which is available to view or download at www.b2gold.com. All dollar figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
In announcing the release of the Report, Clive Johnson, President & CEO of B2Gold, states "in reflecting on 2021 and its continued challenges, from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, to social or political unrest, to the effects of climate change around the globe, I have asked myself how we as a company have managed to navigate and adapt while still meeting our targets and goals. It has become clear to me that the answer always comes back to B2Gold's core values of fairness, respect, transparency and accountability."
As a responsible gold miner, B2Gold aims to create and distribute economic value among its stakeholders. B2Gold's successful business results benefit its shareholders along with the many other stakeholders in the countries, regions, and communities where it operates. The economic value that the Company generates is distributed among its many stakeholders through local hiring and procurement, direct investment in communities, and payments to governments in the form of taxes and royalties. In 2021, B2Gold:
- achieved record annual gold production for the 13th consecutive year;
- generated $1.76 billion in Annual Revenue;
- paid $153 million as Employee Wages and Benefits;
- spent $9.4 million on Community Investment; and
- paid $408 million to Governments (through taxes and royalties).
B2Gold is committed to maximizing local and national economic benefits from our contracting and purchasing. The Company is aware of the high priority that host communities and governments place on local procurement. In sourcing the goods and services necessary to run its operations, B2Gold gives preference to local businesses where possible, provided they meet minimum safety, quality, ethical, and cost requirements. In 2021, over 65% of goods and services were procured from local and host country businesses. Several 2021 success stories are outlined in the Report.
As a reputable corporate citizen, B2Gold generates local employment and opportunities for people to develop their careers, train employees to acquire new skills, and open doors to women, under-represented groups, and previously disadvantaged people.
At the end of 2021, B2Gold employed 4,6891 people across all operations. The Company continues to maintain high local employment rates by targeting recruitment efforts at regional and national levels, with neighbouring communities being given preference for employment opportunities for unskilled roles. At all B2Gold mines, expatriate employees and advisors are required to transfer skills to identified national employees and mentor appointed understudies.
Across all B2Gold operations, 97% of the total workforce is comprised of local2 employees (an increase from 95% in 2020). Where B2Gold operates abroad, 64% of Senior Management is local, a notable increase from 55% in 2020.
In late 2021, B2Gold implemented a refreshed Policy on Equitable, Diverse and Inclusive (EDI) Workplaces. As articulated in the policy, the Company is dedicated to equitable treatment of all persons, irrespective of gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion and sexual orientation, as well as the reasonable and safe accommodation of people with disabilities. In 2021, B2Gold's workforce saw an increase in female representation to 642 (from 575), which is 13.7% of its total workforce (13.4% in 2020), and 24% of B2Gold's senior positions were occupied by women in 2021 (23% in 2020).
In 2021, the global pandemic continued to challenge the Company's ability to keep its people healthy and safe. B2Gold continued with its robust COVID-19 screening and prevention measures established in 2020, and has worked hard to ensure the highest rates of vaccination across all B2Gold operations. As a result of its injury prevention measures, B2Gold is pleased to report that for the sixth consecutive year it has maintained a zero-fatality workplace and further reduced its Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) and Severity Rate.
B2Gold's consolidated LTIFR and Severity Rate were both reduced from 2020 to 2021, with the LTIFR decreasing from 0.06 to 0.05 and the Severity Rate from 3.53 to 3.46. B2Gold maintained its Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) at 0.27, which remains one of the lowest in the mining industry and is 54% lower than the group average for ICMM member companies (0.59 in 20203).
At an operational level, B2Gold is implementing its 2020 to 2022 Environmental Strategic Plan, which identifies key environmental aspects for improvement and defines specific objectives and targets for its operations. The Environmental Strategic Plan provides a road map for improved environmental risk management and performance in line with the overall Company strategy.
B2Gold recognizes that society, including business, must act against climate change and it is implementing a series of changes within the Company as a key aspect of our Environmental Strategic Plan. In 2021, B2Gold updated its strategy for managing climate risk and in February 2022 the Company published its inaugural Climate Strategy Report. This report details the Company's governance and oversight of its strategy, explains its risk management approach, and presents a preliminary assessment of climate scenarios and prioritized climate risks.
B2Gold supports the objectives set by the Paris Agreement to limit the rise in global temperature to well below 2°C, and will continue to evaluate its climate risk management initiatives to align with these objectives. In 2022, B2Gold will further develop climate scenarios and assess its business and financial implications. The Company is studying various initiatives to increase energy efficiency at its operations and to increase the proportion of its renewable energy sources of its total energy consumption. In 2022, B2Gold will issue its first greenhouse gas emissions reduction target.
Throughout 2021, B2Gold continued its biodiversity conservation programs at its various sites around the world. Download the full Report and read more about B2Gold's monitoring of chimpanzees in Mali, a study to assess the health status of an indigenous tree species in Namibia, and the coastal management plan in the Philippines.
B2Gold is committed to the transparency of our sustainability risks, management, and performance. the Company has reported in alignment with the GRI Standards since 2016, and in 2021 B2Gold added the SASB Standard as reporting framework to its Responsible Mining Report. While the GRI Standards help companies communicate their sustainability impacts, the SASB Standard was designed to help companies communicate how different sustainability issues impact a company's long-term value.
B2Gold firmly believes that the mining industry has an opportunity to contribute positively to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and it has reported the Company's contribution in this regard since 2018.
The challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic created opportunities for the mining industry to demonstrate its ability to adapt to changing operating circumstances.

Wales playing five games in 13 days ‘bonkers’ says manager Robert Page
Wales playing five games in 13 days is “bonkers” according to manager Robert Page.
The national team are currently heading to Rotterdam in Holland for what will be their fifth game in 13 days – four Nations League fixtures and a World Cup play-off final victory over Ukraine.
Robert Page then faces a further trip to Qatar to look at the World Cup facilities that will await Wales in November after qualifying for a first World Cup since 1958.
“It’s bonkers. We’ve got four tough games anyway, but (then) throw a final in the mix off the back of a long season,” Page said.
“A lot of our players are from the Championship as well, which is a demanding division to play in.
“It has caught up with us, so there are no surprises we have picked up a few knocks.
“Having said that, this has probably been the most positive camp that we’ve had.
“Our objective coming into camp was ‘can we qualify for the World Cup?’ and we ticked that box, then I wanted to expose some of the younger players to top opposition in European football, and we’ve done that.”
‘Extra bodies’
Wales manager Robert Page said that he also wanted to see an increase in World Cup squad size from 23 to 26 players, for a World Cup where average temperatures are 29C.
Squads for last year’s European Championship, which Wales played in, were capped at 26. That allowed three additional squad places, and Page would like a repeat.
While there has been no official approach from the Football Association of Wales to FIFA, Page said: “Of course I am (pushing for it).
“With demands on the players, I would like a 26-man squad, absolutely. I am just voicing my opinion at the moment.
“I think we will speak with administrators now and see how we can approach that.
“I supported it last year, I thought it was absolutely the right thing to do to go to 26, and I would like it again.
“Ultimately, the demands in those conditions with the group that we’ve got, we just need those extra bodies around us, so for me I would like 26.”
‘Asset’
Page will be without a number of players against the Dutch, with midfielder Joe Allen joining that list because of a hamstring injury.
Allen is currently in contract renewal talks with Stoke, although other suitors are believed to include his former club Swansea.
“We’ve got Rhys (Norrington-Davies) suspended, Danny Ward with his knee, Joe Morrell a broken toe, Neco (Williams) is not fit, so he won’t travel, and Joe had to come off against Belgium and is having a scan today,” Page said.
“But even without seeing the outcome of that, it’s not worth risking him. Get himself sorted out from a club point of view, have a good pre-season and make sure he is ready for September.
“Joe is a massive asset for us. What he has done for Welsh football over the years is incredible.
“He is still a massive part for me moving forward, and he 100 per cent will be in my World Cup squad, there is no doubt.
“It is getting him in the place now to go out and enjoy his football, wherever that may be.”

Businesswoman Mercy Maluli Gifts Son Business Worth KSh 15m on His 4th Birthday
- Maluli gifted her second-born son a house when he was three months old and in 2021, gifted her first child a palatial home on his sixth birthday
Devine Collections founder Mercy Maluli threw her second-born child, Elvin, a flashy birthday party on his fourth birthday.
The invites-only party was held at Maluli's Lavington home and was attended by a few family friends, among them comedian turned politician Jalang'o's wife.
Mercy Maluli's special gift to son
In an interview with TUKO.co.ke, the businesswoman revealed she would launch a multi-million business for her son later in the month.

"The business cost me KSh 15 million. I was to launch it on his birthday, but some things delayed. The money was from his savings. I saved for four years since he was born… he's a money baby. He came with so many blessings, he opened doors for me," she said.
The loving mum also revealed that she would enrol the young boy in language classes.
I want him to join music master classes in French and Japanese. I want them to learn several international languages because I know they are going to do business not just locally in the near future. Am preparing them early enough," she said.
Maluli said her son loves music hence why she settled on a piano cake for his birthday.
The mom of two has always gone out when celebrating her sons' birthday annually and if she's not gifting them cars, or houses, she gifts them parcels of land.
Mercy Maluli gifts son palatial house
In September 2021, Mercy Maluli gifted her firstborn son a palatial house on his sixth birthday.
Mercy made the day special for Brayden whom she gifted a house as she had promised.
"He has been praying for a house cause mummy promised one. God answered and he is the newest home owner in town! Anything for my boys. To brighter days ahead," she posted.
Mercy expressed the affection she has towards her son, marvelling at how he has developed six years into his birth. She said her son had been and will continue to be her motivation.
"I thank God for life and good health over the past six years. My baby is a blessing to me. He is my prayer partner. The reason I wake up and grind hard. May your 6+ be full of love and light. May God hold your hand everyday. Mummy loves you," she celebrated.

Joe Root double centuries in Test: The former English captain could’ve brought up his sixth Test double century today.
Former England captain Joe Root fell short by 24 runs to become the 13th cricketer to score a sixth double century in Test cricket during the fourth day of the second Test of the ongoing New Zealand’s tour of England in Nottingham today.
Resuming from his overnight score of 163*, all Root could add to his total was 13 runs on Day 4 before a Trent Boult slower delivery saw him driving straight to Tim Southee at cover.
Root, who departed after scoring 176 (211) comprising of 26 fours and a six at a strike rate of 83.41, did play a shot which ended up becoming the highlight of the morning session. Facing only his second ball of the day, Root played a rare reverse scoop off Southee to become a source of amazement for one and all at Trent Bridge on Monday.
Root, who had time to play cautiously in a bid to complete a double century, put on display a change of approach in a bid to gain a first-innings lead as soon as possible. With the 31-year old player speaking to Sky Cricket about the same before play began today, Root walked the talk although for a brief period in the first session.
In what was Root’s 27th Test century, it was his 16th at home and at No. 4, 13th as a specialist batter, 10th in the second Test of a series, fourth against New Zealand and in 2022.

Steve Kerr made a big decision down the stretch of Game 4.
After a layup from Jaylen Brown put the Celtics ahead by four points with 7:32 remaining in the fourth quarter, Kerr pulled Draymond Green from the game to go with a smaller lineup of Stephen Curry, Jordan Poole, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Kevon Looney.
Green later returned and made some big plays to help the Warriors come away with the victory, but Kerr's decision to bench Green in such a crucial moment in Golden State's season speaks to how much the four-time All-Star has struggled offensively in the Finals.
MORE: Draymond Green was not thrilled with his Game 4 benching
In Game 3, Green finished with two points on 1-for-4 shooting from the field. He was limited to two points again in Game 4, only he missed six of his seven shot attempts.
Even Green's mom has been surprised by his showing so far in this series.
Please ppl stop asking me what’s wrong with Dray… I DONT KNOW! Maybe this is a CLONE! Lmbo WHERE IS THE Draymond that helped get us here!! Hmmmm I have never seen this either!
— Mary B (@BabersGreen) June 11, 2022
Scoring isn't Green's forte, but the Warriors will likely need more from him offensively to defeat the Celtics two more times.
It begs the question: What is Boston doing to limit Green?
The Celtics' unique approach to defending Draymond Green
Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart have been the primary defenders on Green in the Finals.
It's a smart decision by Celtics head coach Ime Udoka to have them guard Green for two particular reasons:
- Tatum and Smart have a better chance of staying in front of Curry than Al Horford and Robert Williams III do. By having Tatum or Smart guard Green instead of Horford or Williams, they're better equipped to switch pick-and-rolls and handoffs involving Green and Curry.
- Green doesn't have a speed advantage over Tatum and Smart. As I detailed heading into the Finals, bigs usually give Green space when he has the ball in his hands knowing he's not much of a shooting threat, but that allows him to calmly pick teams apart with his passing. By applying more pressure on him in those situations, it makes it harder for him to play traffic cop.
That's not to say Horford and Williams haven't spent any time matched up with Green in the Finals, because they have. While they're not as comfortable defending the perimeter as Tatum and Smart, Green has had a hard time finishing over both of them at the rim when he has challenged them.
How the Celtics are picking on Draymond Green's weaknesses
The Celtics haven't been shy about helping off of Green, a career 31.5 percent 3-point shooter, when he's off-ball.
Again, it's a fine balance between giving Green the optimal amount of space and too much because of how smart he is and how well he moves the ball, but Smart is particularly good at playing centerfield. He's highly disruptive as a help defender — few players recorded as many deflections and charges as he did during the regular season — and he's so quick to rotate that it sometimes feels like he's in two places at once.
Just watch Smart on this entire possession:
The initial help to muck up spacing for Curry, the recovery to cut off Green's drive, the way he defended the back-and-forth between Green and Wiggins ... that's as good as it gets.
What's interesting about the Warriors is they have had different players defend Green to this point of the series. Tatum and Smart have been the two constants, but Williams guarded him more than anyone else on the Celtics in Game 4 according to the matchup data.
Each of them offers something different. For Tatum, size and length. For Smart, strength and versatility. And for Williams, elite rim protection.
Green was able to take advantage of Williams roaming once in Game 4...
...but Williams won that battle more times than Green did.
Something else that has gotten a lot of attention is how the Celtics are playing drop coverage against Curry, the greatest shooter of all time who is an incredible 20-for-40 on pull-up 3-point attempts in the Finals. It's an odd decision on the surface, but by doing so, the Celtics are taking away the 4-on-3 attacks Green feasts on.
One of the few times the Celtics trapped Curry in Game 4 came with just over a minute remaining in the fourth quarter. Want to guess what happened?
Preventing those sequences has clearly been a point of emphasis for the Celtics.
What has Steve Kerr said about Draymond Green's struggles?
Following Game 4, Kerr admitted that the Celtics are a tough matchup for Green.
"Look, this is a tough series for him to score because of Boston's size and athleticism, but he's still impacting the game at a huge level," Kerr said of Green. "And he knows we're just going to do whatever it takes to win.
"We've got a lot of guys who can contribute. A lot of guys did that tonight, and you know, we got it done. And whatever it takes in Game 5, that's what we'll do, too."
To Kerr's point, Green leads the Warriors with 5.8 assists per game in the Finals and has made some big plays defensively, but it'll be interesting to see how Golden State handles his minutes in Game 5 and beyond if he can't figure out a way to make more of an impact offensively. | https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/draymond-green-weaknesses-warriors-celtics/rne6tkhar8cwpqy1fhz63vvo | 2022-06-13T13:18:04Z | https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/draymond-green-weaknesses-warriors-celtics/rne6tkhar8cwpqy1fhz63vvo | true | 2 |
Delaying Social Security Past This Age Will Cost You Money, Guaranteed
There are arguments in favor of claiming Social Security right away at 62 and of delaying benefits for years so you can enjoy larger checks in the future. But if you choose the latter, you have to be careful. Delaying Social Security for too long can have some costly consequences.
Why does it matter when you sign up for Social Security?
A lot of people know that their income during their working years affects their Social Security benefit, but many don't realize that the age at which they claim benefits matters, too. The federal government assigns everyone a full retirement age (FRA) based on the year they're born. For most workers today, it's somewhere between 66 and 67. You must wait until this age to claim if you want the full Social Security benefit you've earned based on your work history.
But a lot of people don't sign up then. Many choose to start as soon as they become eligible for Social Security at 62. This gives them more years of checks, but each check they claim under their FRA shrinks their monthly benefit. Signing up at 62 means you'll only get 70% of your full benefit per check if your FRA is 67, or 75% if your FRA is 66.
That's why some -- especially those who expect to live long -- choose to delay benefits. Every month they avoid claiming boosts their checks a little. But this stops at 70. That's when you qualify for your maximum monthly benefit of 124% of your full benefit per check if your FRA is 67 or 132% if your FRA is 66.
You should never delay Social Security past 70 because you won't get any extra cash for doing so. You're just missing out on months of checks you could be using to help pay your bills.
When should you apply for Social Security?
It's up to each person to decide when they want to sign up for benefits. Claiming earlier generally makes more sense for those with serious health issues and those who cannot afford to pay their bills without help from Social Security. But if you expect to live until your 80s or beyond, delaying may get you more money over your lifetime.
You can sign up for Social Security up to four months before you intend to claim. If you were born on the first or second of a month, you become eligible in the month of your 62nd birthday. Otherwise, you can't start claiming until the month after.
If your goal is to wait until 70, it's not a bad idea to sign up a month or two in advance and request that your benefits begin at 70. That way, you don't have to worry about forgetting to sign up on time. But you don't have to do this if you don't want to.
What if you've already waited too long?
If you're already over 70 and haven't begun claiming Social Security yet, don't panic. It's possible to claim up to six months of benefits retroactively. So, for example, if you're 70 1/2, you can apply right away and still get the six months of benefits you've missed out on so far. If you're more than six months past your 70th birthday, you won't get all of your missed Social Security checks, but you can get some.
It's worth noting that if you claim the full six months of retroactive benefits, this can shrink your checks if you're less than six months past your 70th birthday. For example, if you're 70 and three months and you choose to claim six months of retroactive benefits, the government will pay you the monthly amount you were entitled to at 69 and 9 months, not the amount you'd get at 70. In this case, you'd want to claim just three months of retroactive benefits to get your largest monthly checks.
No matter what age you are, now's a great time to revisit your Social Security claiming strategy or create one if you haven't already. Think about the age you want to claim benefits and when you plan to apply. If you want to start claiming immediately, start gathering your documents, like your birth certificate and recent tax forms, to speed up the application process.
The $18,984 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook
If you're like most Americans, you're a few years (or more) behind on your retirement savings. But a handful of little-known "Social Security secrets" could help ensure a boost in your retirement income. For example: one easy trick could pay you as much as $18,984 more... each year!

What Arron Banks and 'the Bad Boys of Brexit' did next: joining up for election fight in New Zealand

- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Arron BanksEnglish businessman
- Andy WigmoreBritish political operative
- Winston PetersNew Zealand politician
The Bad Boys of Brexit are back! Arron Banks and Andy Wigmore have been hired by New Zealand's version of the UK Independence Party to help fight September's general election in a move bound to infuriate their Left-wing critics.
A team from Mr Banks' Leave.EU campaign is advising Winston Peters' New Zealand First party on its social media campaign in a deal said to be worth a six figure sum.
It comes just nine months after Mr Banks was cleared of any criminality by the National Crime Agency over £8 million in EU referendum campaign funding.
Mr Banks, with Mr Wigmore, published a diary called The Bad Boys of Brexit charting their adventures during the 2016 campaign.
A six-strong team from Leave.EU have been dispatched to Auckland with an instruction to increase New Zealand First's vote share to as high as 12 percent.
The hope is for New Zealand First to double its MPs to 20 so the party can hold the balance of power in the country's 120-strong Parliament after the September 19 poll.
New Zealand First's leader Winston Peters, and the country's deputy Prime Minister, surprisingly backed Labour party leader Jacinda Adern at the general election in 2017 and the pair are said to work well together.
Mr Banks said that Ms Ardern - who he likened to "Jacinderella" with her party playing the role of "the ugly Sisters" - is being groomed for a bigger job at a supra-national body like the World Health Organisation.
He said: "Our job is to get their vote share to 11 per cent, 12 per cent, 13 per cent and then Winston holds the traditional position of king maker."
Mr Banks continued: "We have deployed our top social media team and data experts to do all the creative work, Andy and I are giving Winston strategic advice."
He added: "Since 2016 we have known Winston, he is a huge supporter of the Commonwealth and watched first hand the referendum campaign.
"He’s always been a more seasoned version of Farage with massive government experience. "He is one of very few current politicians that speaks fluent human and can relate to anyone, he’s in the same mould as Boris they speak truth on behalf of the ordinary people. He is always on the side of the people.
"He has studied the way social media can be a useful channel when the mainstream media want to try and cancel what you have to say.
"His strength, like Boris/Farage, is he has a direct conversation with the public and social media is the perfect platform to do precisely that. "We have deployed our top social media team and data experts to do all the creative work. Andy and I are giving Winston strategic advice."
Mr Wigmore added: "I’m going to be on ground in New Zealand causing trouble - mischief, mayhem and guerrilla warfare in the New Zealand election - the bad boys are back." | https://news.yahoo.com/arron-banks-bad-boys-brexit-120211146.html | 2022-06-13T13:28:08Z | https://news.yahoo.com/arron-banks-bad-boys-brexit-120211146.html | false | 1 |
Social media has rallied around after a Tory MP branded Birmingham "godawful." Heather Wheeler has issued an apology for her remarks about Brum and Blackpool last week.
Wheeler, the MP for South Derbyshire, seemed to go off-script during a launch event for the Government's new digital strategy on Thursday, saying: "I was just at a conference in Blackpool or Birmingham or somewhere godawful." Ms Wheeler, who is a parliamentary secretary at the Cabinet Office, later apologised.
The MP said she made an "inappropriate remark that does not reflect my actual view". When asked for comment, the Cabinet Office pointed to Ms Wheeler's apology.
READ MOREJust another stunning weekend in 'Godawful Birmingham' - as these amazing pictures show
But Twitter has reacted brilliantly, with Brummies deciding to use a hashtag #godawfulbirmingham to have their say. The hashtag is carrying beautiful images and stories from across the city, as residents flock to reveal their favourite parts of Brum.
MP Jess Phillips has got in on the action, too, sharing upates from her weekend using the hashtag. So, what is your favourite part of Birmingham?
It could be your football team's ground - be it Villa Park or St Andrews - or maybe the beautiful canals, lively city centre on a Saturday night, or a trip to Digbeth's Custard Factory? Maybe it's the historic Electric Cinema? Or watching England versus Australia at Edgbaston? Maybe it's the people? Have your say in the comments.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is under investigation for potential breaches of rules on earnings and gifts.
The breaking news was announced this morning, as the parliamentary website showed that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards is investigating Starmer for potentially breaching two sections of the MPs’ code of conduct on registering interests.
According to the Parliament website, Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards Kathryn Stone began the investigation last Wednesday.
The first point under investigation is stated as: “Registration of interests under Category 1 of the Guide to the Rules (Employment and earnings).”
The matter second reads: “Registration of interests under Category 3 of the Guide to the Rules (Gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources).”
Speaking to ITV journalists, Starmer said he’s “absolutely confident there's no problem here” when asked about the investigation, but the news has sent the internet into a frenzy.
Political commentator Owen Jones wrote: “This, like Beergate, is really minor, trivial stuff.
“It's just unfortunate that Keir Starmer decided to make 'integrity' and 'competence' his dividing line with the Tories, and he's now under investigation from both the police and the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.”

SIERRA BLANCA, TX, May 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire-- Texas Mineral Resources Corp. ( TMRC), an exploration company currently targeting the heavy rare earths, technology metals and a variety of industrial minerals primarily through its 20% ownership interest in the Round Top Mountain project in Texas, is pleased to announce the addition of Vern Lund to its Board of Directors. Mr. Lund replaces Clark Mosely who recently retired as CEO of Navajo Transitional Energy Corp (“NTEC”). NTEC currently owns approximately 14% of TMRC and has been given the right to nominate two board members. Peter Denetclaw, an NTEC board member, is currently the other TMRC board member representing NTEC.
Vern Lund is the CEO of Navajo Transitional Energy Company. NTEC was formed in 2013 as an autonomous company established under Navajo law with its sole shareholder being the Navajo Nation. NTEC employs roughly 1,400 employees and is the third largest coal producer in the U.S., shipping over 50 million tons of thermal coal per year from its Antelope, Cordero Rojo, and Spring Creek mines in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming and Montana and the Navajo Mine located on the Navajo Nation. Additionally, NTEC owns 7% interest in the 1500MW Four Corners Power Plant and is a developer and seller of bulk helium through its Tocito Dome operation on the Navajo Nation and has significant helium lease holdings in Utah.
Mr. Lund began his career as an Engineer with The North America Coal Corporation (NACoal) in 1996. Over a 25-year span with NACoal, Mr. Lund held various technical, operational management, and executive positions, including over 18 years of field operating experience gained while working at five different surface mines located in North Dakota, Texas, and Mississippi. Mr. Lund was also involved in the development of two greenfield surface mines including the role of President of an entity that built a $240 million greenfield surface lignite mine in Mississippi. Mr. Lund has spent over seven years in Business Development and led a corporate diversification strategy resulting in securing a 20-year contract mining agreement for a greenfield lithium project.
Mr. Lund holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from North Dakota State University and is a Registered Professional Engineer in the state of Mississippi. He also holds an MBA from Auburn University and is a graduate of Wharton’s Advanced Management Program.
“Vern’s unique set of skills will be instrumental as TMRC anticipates expanding its business to include other domestic mining projects to its portfolio with return potential similar to its 20% current ownership of the Round Top heavy-rare earth and critical mineral project,” commented Anthony Marchese, Chairman. “Vern’s decades of experience and mining industry expertise fits perfectly with the objectives of the Company.”
About Texas Mineral Resources Corp.
Texas Mineral Resources Corp.'s primary focus is to develop and commercialize, along with its joint venture operating partner USA Rare Earth LLC, the Round Top heavy-rare earth, technology metals, and industrial minerals project located in Hudspeth County, Texas, 85 miles southeast of El Paso, in which TMRC owns a 20% interest and USA Rare Earth owns an 80% interest. Additionally, the Company plans on developing other domestic mining projects in more traditional metals. The Company’s common stock trades on the OTCQB U.S. tier under the symbol “TMRC.”

Actor Manchu Vishnu announced the title of his next film on Friday. In a funny video posted by AVA Entertainment on YouTube, the title of the 19th film of Vishnu was disclosed by the makers. The film has been titled Ginna. The actor posted the video on his Twitter account and shared the news with his fans.
The video begins with the MAA president looking for a good script in which he can play the lead. He then calls Kona Venkat to give him a powerful plot for his next film. The video takes a funny turn when at the end, screenplay writer Kona announces the name of the film as Ginna.
Vishnu asks him whether the film is based on the Pakistani leader to which Kona replies, “No, it’ll be a full-fledged Telugu entertainer based in Tirupati." The story will be about a person, who hates his name and calls himself Ginna.
As the film’s title resembles the name of the founder of Pakistan, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, it has created a political controversy.
BJP State General Secretary of Andhra Pradesh Vishnu Vardhan Reddy have objected to the title and called out the makers for giving it such a controversial title. In his tweet, the politician asked the actor and makers whether it was important to have a title similar to the name of the person who was responsible for the killing of lakhs of people. He even highlighted that the name is emerging from the Seven Hills background, which is demeaning to many. He has urged the makers to change the title.
Meanwhile, the makers of the film have clarified that the film has nothing to do with the Pakistani founder Jinnah and has been titled Ginna as the name of the lead character is Gali Nageswara Rao. Even in the name reveal video, the writer points out that Nageswara Rao played by Vishnu doesn’t like his name, so he changes it to GINNA.
Ginna features Sunny Leone and Payal Rajput in lead roles. The film, which is under production, is being directed by Eeshan Suryaah and written by Kona Venkat.

Robot delivery will be available on Ohio State University's campus this fall
CHICAGO and OAKLAND, Calif., June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Grubhub, the leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery platform on college campuses, and Cartken, a technology startup that specializes in self-driving, AI-powered robotics and delivery operations, announced a partnership today to bring robot delivery to college campuses. This delivery was piloted at Ohio State University this spring, and a full roll out is expected when students return to campus this fall.
Grubhub partners with more than 250 college campuses across the United States to give students the ability to integrate meal plans directly into their Grubhub account and access restaurants both on- and off-campus for delivery and pickup. The partnership with Cartken for autonomous robot delivery builds on Grubhub's existing campus offering and is a seamless fit for campus environments, which are notoriously difficult for cars to navigate.
"Robot delivery is exciting for students and helps provide even better service and innovative solutions to our campus partners," said Eric Harper, senior director of campus environments at Grubhub. "We've worked with Ohio State University for years on the campus dining front, and they are always an early adopter of solutions that create efficiencies for their operations and improve the student experience. We look forward to supporting our university partners and responding to their unique delivery environments as we roll out this technology at other campuses in the coming months."
Cartken's robots navigate pavements, crosswalks and pedestrian paths within the campus area without human guidance. The robots use Cartken's artificial intelligence (AI) and camera-based navigation and mapping technology, which the company developed for small autonomous vehicles to safely operate around pedestrians. Human override remains an option if necessary – for instance when a path is blocked – guaranteeing reliable operation and minimizing delivery delays. Cartken's robots operate at up to three miles per hour on campus and handle various weather conditions, including rain and snow.
"We're thrilled to be working with Grubhub to delight students and campus staff with robot delivery," said Christian Bersch, CEO of Cartken. "This collaboration perfectly aligns with our mission to use robotics and AI technology to provide friction-free and environmentally sustainable delivery, and have robots serve the community. We are excited to scale alongside Grubhub and offer robot delivery to students on campuses across the country."
"Robot delivery has been very popular on campus this past school year, validating our prediction that students would appreciate autonomous mobile delivery," said Zia Ahmed, senior director of Student Life Dining Services at Ohio State University. "We are excited about the return of robots to campus, and we have been testing the Cartken robots during the spring semester with the same vision to lower the cost of delivery, reduce the time it takes to deliver food and enhance sustainability."
For more information on how administrators can bring this delivery experience to their campus, please visit here.
Grubhub is part of Just Eat Takeaway.com (LSE: JET) (AMS: TKWY), a leading global online food delivery marketplace. Dedicated to connecting more than 32 million diners with the food they love from their favorite local restaurants, Grubhub elevates food ordering through innovative restaurant technology, easy-to-use platforms and an improved delivery experience. Grubhub features more than 320,000 restaurant partners in over 4,000 U.S. cities.
Cartken makes communities more connected by bridging the distance between customers and the local businesses they love. Our autonomous robot platform is designed to transport goods over short distances in malls, business parks and local neighborhoods. We use advanced autonomous technology, making our robots the safest and most reliable in the market today. Cartken's team of engineers and operators combine deep expertise in self-driving cars, AI-powered robotics and delivery operations.

KRK Rocks the House for Producer Barry Pointer
As a Los Angeles-based producer and owner of Riott House Studio, Barry Pointer works alongside some of the biggest names in music. After starting his career in music for film and television, Pointer decided to focus more exclusively on his passion for music producing, recording, and mixing and went all in, building his first studio in LA. Today, his newest studio, Riott House, operates as both a space to host artists and their production teams, and a private studio where Pointer can personally work on projects that come to him. With a client base that includes the likes of The Creatures, L.A. Rats (Nikki Sixx, Rob Zombie, John 5, Tommy Clufetos), Vixen, and more, Pointer knew he needed monitors that would accurately project what he intends to be heard by the listener. For this, he selected KRK V-Series 8 Studio Monitors to get the authentic, natural sound that he and his clients love.
“When I set up the KRK V8 Studio Monitors, I instantly fell in love with what I was hearing, not only in the studio but when I listen back in other environments as well. There is no color in the sound; no boosted low end; no over accentuated mids or highs. It’s just a well-balanced sound that completely represents my mixes. Over the years, I have tried many different studio monitors, some two and three times the price of the V8s, and the V8s are the winner for me.” | http://digitalmedianet.com/krk-rocks-the-house-for-producer-barry-pointer/ | 2022-06-13T13:50:36Z | http://digitalmedianet.com/krk-rocks-the-house-for-producer-barry-pointer/ | false | 1 |

Many baby formula plants weren’t inspected because of COVID
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. regulators have historically inspected baby formula plants at least once a year, but they did not inspect any of the three biggest manufacturers in 2020, according to federal records reviewed by The Associated Press.
When they finally did get inside an Abbott Nutrition formula plant in Michigan after a two-year gap, they found standing water and lax sanitation procedures. But inspectors offered only voluntary suggestions for fixing the problems, and issued no formal warning.
Inspectors would return five months later after four infants who consumed powdered formula from the plant suffered bacterial infections. They found bacterial contamination inside the factory, leading to a four-month shutdown and turning a festering supply shortage into a full-blown crisis that sent parents scrambling to find formula and forced the U.S. to airlift products from overseas.
The gap in baby formula plant inspections, brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, is getting new scrutiny from Congress and government watchdogs investigating the series of missteps that led to the crisis. A recent bill would require the Food and Drug Administration to inspect infant formula facilities every six months. And the government’s inspector general for health has launched an inquiry into the FDA’s handling of Abbott’s facility, the largest in the U.S.
Abbott resumed production at the plant early this month under a legally binding agreement with the FDA, but the shutdown and nationwide shortage exposed how concentrated the industry has become in the U.S., with a handful of companies accounting for roughly 90% of the market.
As COVID-19 swept across the U.S. in early 2020, the FDA pulled most of its safety inspectors from the field, skipping thousands of routine plant inspections.
The FDA did conduct more than 800 “mission critical” inspections during the first year of the pandemic, the agency said in a statement. Regulators selected facilities for inspections based on whether they carried a specific safety risk or were needed to produce an important medical therapy.
Only three of the nation’s 23 facilities that make, package or distribute formula made the cut. The FDA resumed routine inspections in July 2021.
The inspection records reviewed by the AP show gaps as large as 2 1/2 years between FDA’s 2019 inspections and when regulators returned to plants owned by the three leading formula manufacturers: Abbott, Reckitt and Gerber.
In fact, the FDA still has yet to return to one key plant owned by Reckitt and two owned by Gerber, according to agency records. All those facilities are operating around the clock to boost U.S. formula production.
“The FDA would have had more chances to catch these issues if they’d been inspecting during the pandemic,” said Sarah Sorscher, a food safety specialist with the Center for Science in the Public Interest. She acknowledged the difficult trade-off the FDA faced in pulling its inspectors to reduce their exposure to COVID-19. “Certainly there was a price to pay for protecting their workers during that time.”
Baby formula manufacturers were “consistently identified as a high priority during the pandemic,” and there is currently no backlog of inspections, the agency told the AP in response to inquiries about the gaps. The agency said it skipped about 15,000 U.S. inspections due to COVID, but it has already made up about 5,000 of those, exceeding its own goals.
Under current law, the FDA is only required to inspect formula facilities every three to five years, but the agency has consistently inspected facilities annually — until the pandemic.
“Our top priority now is addressing the urgent need for infant formula in the U.S. market, and our teams are working night and day to help make that happen,” FDA stated.
But outside experts say the gap in inspections speaks to a blind spot in the government’s response effort, which was successful at preventing shortages of drugs and other medical supplies.
FDA Commissioner Robert Califf says regulators knew shutting down Abbott’s plant would create supply problems, but there was little evidence of urgency between when inspectors shuttered the plant in February and recent emergency measures to allow more imports from abroad.
Longtime food safety specialists see a deeper problem at the highest levels of the FDA, where physicians and medical scientists for decades have prioritized oversight of drugs and medical products over food.
“It’s very challenging for them to get engaged at all in this area because they don’t have the background, the knowledge and the experience in it,” said Steven Mandernach, executive director of the Association of Food and Drug Officials, which represents state-level inspectors.
The FDA shares oversight of food production and safety with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. FDA inspections of food facilities peaked in 2011 and have declined most years since, despite increased funds and powers by Congress. The FDA said that while U.S. inspections have declined, foreign facility inspections have increased.
There’s no certainty that extra inspections during COVID-19 would have prevented the contamination problems at the Sturgis, Michigan, plant that was shut down. And Abbott says that its products have not been directly linked to the infections, two of which were fatal.
But the plant did have earlier problems, including a 2010 formula recall due to possible contamination with insect parts.
“I think facilities that had known problems that could cause a food safety risk should have been part of FDA’s mission critical work,” Mandernach said. “And this facility would have been among those.”
Not having regular inspections — or even the threat of them — can lead to changes in culture at plants like Abbott’s, Mandernach noted.
“If you’re driving down the highway and you know the state troopers have been furloughed, might you go a little faster than if you knew there was a trooper on duty?” Mandernach asked.

Bra By Trina
A Letter To My Younger Self
Bra By Trina: The Support Your Girls Issue is all about lifting each other up, whether it’s your besties, your breasts or your younger self. Trina looks back and has a chat with the Trina who’s just reaching puberty to remind her a few things about body positivity.
Dear Little Tri,
Remember when you used to wear boys' clothing in an attempt to hide your body? Claiming you just ‘loved the tom-boy look’. Or how about that one time on holiday, almost 18 years ago, covering your swimsuit with a towel, insisting you were cold–Girl, it was over 20 degrees, who were you trying to fool?
I totally get it, right now your body is doing things you don’t fully understand. So, I wanted to write to you to bring some much-needed comfort and reassurance to what feels like an unsettling transition.
Firstly, you ought to know that you will encounter moments when you feel like you want to be out of your own body. Developing new vulnerabilities with the gradual appearance of body hair, awareness of body odour, your boobs getting bigger and your curves becoming, well even curvier. But hearme loud and clear, puberty is one of the most natural things we go through in order to flourish.
Your body never betrayed you!
I hate to break it to you, but you’ll never be a slim, blue-eyed girl, with blonde straight hair. Your complexion, kinky curls, well-proportioned curves and culture will influence society, so the sooner you learn to embrace it, the easier things will be. Trust me.
Your uniqueness is the first step to real beauty!
Oh, and do me a favour, never forget your love of sport; Running, Badminton, Football, Swimming and especially Dance. As you get older, society will make you feel as though fitness is a punishment for your body. In time, you’ll be reminded that being active makes you feel good and brings you so much joy. Remember, a size label or cup size does not define you or your worth.
Move your body from a place of gratitude, instead of judgement. Yep, your boobs are still getting bigger and that’s ok. Your mum’s been trying to tell you to wear your bras properly, adjust the straps to lift the
girls. Wear a good sports bra for more support when involved in activities, and no, you don’t need ones with loadsof padding. The pads in padded bras don’t give you extra support, so you can cut it out–literally!
Your breasts will be different sizes and grow unevenly, don’t be alarmed. Remember they’re cousins not twins. I mean, they might even be second cousins.
Girl, there are so many more things I want to say, but I guess I’ll just end it by telling you that having bigger boobs is nothing to be ashamed of. You will receive some unwanted attention and feel like everyone is staring at them jiggling away, but the reality is, everyone is too busy dealing with their own insecurities, so do you!
Perfection is unrealistic, don’t shrink yourself to fit in and most importantly, have ownership over your body.
You don’t know it yet, but it’s that very same jiggle that will catapult you into empowering thousands of other Women, and I’m so proud of you.
Authenticity is your superpower!
Lots of love,
Trina | https://www.nike.com/nl/en/a/trina-nicole-letter-to-myself | 2022-06-13T14:00:24Z | https://www.nike.com/nl/en/a/trina-nicole-letter-to-myself | true | 11 |

Sampling the Madden 23 X-Factors list has been one of the most enjoyable parts of the PS5 beta. Particularly for star players who moved to new teams ahead of Madden 23.

What ordinary Zambians are experiencing at Clinics/Hospitals
Lack of consumables
I took accident victim’s to Kanyama clinic yesterday.Found good hearted dedicated health workers with nothing to work with, no gloves,no cotton wool,no books for records, no nothing at all.
Three questions kept ringing in my head:
1. How do they(nurses and doctors) attend to ER patients without any protection?
2.does government understand the danger these people (nurses and doctors) are exposed to?
3. Are we going to pretend forever that all is well and speak lies on media to please?
Lack of medicines
The shortage of medicine in government hospitals and clinics is an urgent matter. It’s about people’s lives!
The past one month has seen my father move from Matero Level One Hospital to the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) and the only medicine he has been given is a prescription.
The last three days I spent with the big man at UTH he was prescribed almost ten types of medicines and nothing was found within the walls of UTH, syringes and panado inclusive.
Yes we have dedicated staff at these institutions but the shortage of medicines is a serious matter because other patients might not be as fortunate as my father whose children can manage to go to a drug store and buy medicine whose prices are going up on a daily basis.

How to Choose Clothing to Protect Your Skin From the Sun
Buying Guide
Here's what you need to know to protect yourself from excessive UV radiation exposure while enjoying your favourite sports and activities.
While every athlete enjoys catching some rays on a sunny day, a smart athlete is also concerned about harmful UV light.That's because exposure to UV radiation produced by the sun damages the DNA in your skin cells, which can cause premature ageing and skin cancer.If you want to look and feel your best far into the future while still enjoying outdoor activities, the best way you can protect yourself is with the proper clothing.
The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends protective clothing from the sun and gives sun-protective products a seal of recommendation.Here's what you need to know to choose the right attire for your next adventure under the sky.
What Is UPF?
Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) shows how much UVA and UVB radiation is blocked by a particular fabric.In order to receive a seal of recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation, an apparel item must be at least UPF 30, which means it allows 1/30th of the radiation from the sun to reach your skin.UPF 50+ fabrics are rated as providing excellent sun protection.
That's different from Sun Protection Factor (SPF), which indicates how much solar energy is required to burn skin with a topical product versus without.
How to Choose Sun-Protective Clothing
1.Wear Bright or Dark Colours
Not all clothing provides sufficient protection from UV radiation.For example, a white cotton T-shirt that gets wet has a UPF of only 3.Bright and dark colours absorb more UV rays so they don't harm your skin.2.Choose Densely Woven Fabrics
Dense materials like canvas, wool or synthetic fabrics such as polyester make good UV-blocking material.Unbleached cotton is also a natural UV absorber, and some clothes are treated with chemicals or special dyes to maximise their protective capabilities.
3.Opt for a Loose Fit
Tight clothing can allow more UV light through as the fabric stretches.Looser fits will let a lot less light pass through to your skin.
4.Cover Up
When in doubt, cover more exposed skin with a long-sleeve top and trousers to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
5.Go With Performance Apparel
Choose garments designed for your activity that will last longer.Fabric that gets stretched out or absorbs sweat easily will lose UV protection.Opt for high-performance fabrics like Nike Dri-FIT and make sure you take proper care of your workout clothes.
Protective Clothing Checklist
- A hat: Look for a hat with a brim at least 3 inches wide to fully keep the sun off your face, ears, upper back and neck.Opt for a tightly woven hat rather than a straw hat to keep more harmful rays away.
- Sunglasses: Find a pair of sunglasses that is labelled UV 400, which will provide nearly complete protection from UV rays.
- A top: If you're going to be working out in hot weather, opt for a synthetic, dark-coloured T-shirt that protects you from UV radiation.A long-sleeve top will provide more complete protection.
- Shorts, leggings or trousers: Long trousers will provide the most protection, but if you want to stay cool, opt for a dark-coloured synthetic pair designed to block UV radiation.
- Socks and shoes: Sandals will leave your feet and ankles unnecessarily exposed, and they also don't provide enough protection or support for most outdoor activities.Grab a pair of moisture-wicking ankle socks and a stylish pair of running or training shoes that fit and are comfortable.
- Bathing suits: If you're planning to take a dip, you may want to purchase a UPF-rated bathing suit. | https://www.nike.com/sg/a/choose-sun-protective-clothing | 2022-06-13T14:08:37Z | https://www.nike.com/sg/a/choose-sun-protective-clothing | false | 11 |

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In the hospitality sector that has been traditionally dominated by men, Red Roof® has been an industry leader in promoting and nurturing women entrepreneurs. This year, at its fourth annual Forum on Leadership for Women Entrepreneurs, designed to help women in hospitality develop deeper business acumen and stronger leadership skills, Red Roof celebrated its progress with 31% of its hotels owned or partially owned by women.
Further, Red Roof statistics mirror the fact that women continue to progress in management ranks, as there has been a 20% increase in women leadership at Red Roof over the past three years. Fueled by the vision and passion of Red Roof Chief Marketing Officer Marina MacDonald, Red Roof has been industry leading in bringing together women to collaborate, educate and provide the tools and insights to help drive continued growth and support.
"The past two years have been challenging, especially for women, and the impact the pandemic had on travel and hospitality exacerbated the pressure felt by women in our industry. As women juggle work lives and home lives, there really is no such thing as work/life balance. Rather, there are work/life choices that women are forced to make every day," says Marina MacDonald, Chief Marketing Officer, Red Roof. "I designed this hybrid professional/personal event to help our attendees further develop their business and leadership skills, as well as the tools to take better care of themselves, so that we will not only help grow more successful and happy women entrepreneurs, but we will also encourage the development of sustainable habits that will lead to a lifetime of success."
This year, the Forum hosted more than 100 women attendees over two days, including Red Roof franchise owners, industry leaders and corporate team members all looking to collaborate and help one another overcome barriers to success. During the Forum, attendees had the opportunity to network, learn from and support each other, and hear from inspirational and industry-leading experts – including Dr. Lalia Rach, Founder & Partner, Rach Enterprises; Mary Beth Cutshall, Founder & Managing Partner, Amara Capital; Regan Walsh, Chief Renegade Officer, Renegade Global; Laura Lee Blake, President and CEO, Asian American Hotel Owners Association – who shared their journeys and challenges reaching the highest levels of their fields, and shared advice on how to smash glass ceilings. Breakout sessions included topics such as side hustles, which have become increasingly popular since the pandemic, the characteristics of successful women, tips on public speaking and networking, and the power and enrichment of giving back through community involvement. The top advice for women advancement included the following tips:
- Be Heard. Have a Voice.
- Be Authentic and be YOU.
- Be Fearless, Bold and Brave. Take risks.
- Tout Successes with Confidence.
- Stay true to your Values, Vision and Passion.
- Be comfortable being uncomfortable.
Recent research shows the hospitality industry is slowly making progress toward women in leadership, and statistics paint a picture trending toward increased diversity going forward. According to the 2022 Castell Project 'Women in Hospitality Industry Leadership' report, women are gaining in hotel company leadership at the highest levels (CEO, President, Founder). In fact, although still skewed, women now hold one leadership spot for every 10.3 men, an improvement from one to 11.2 in 2019. At the manager and director levels, women now hold 1 in 2 hospitality positions and 1 in 6 at the VP/SVP/EVP level. However, there is more work to do.
Red Roof will continue to lead the industry in supporting women by nurturing networking and providing opportunities and tools needed to reach the highest levels in the hospitality industry.

Senate negotiators struck a bipartisan agreement Sunday on a series of gun safety measures that falls far short of reforms sought by President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats, but still represents a rare step forward on firearms in the evenly divided Senate.
The agreement was jointly announced by the offices of two Democrats and two Republicans, including Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, a Democrat who has been a leading voice for gun legislation since the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre of 26 children and educators in his old U.S. House district.
“Will this bill do everything we need to end our nation’s gun violence epidemic? No. But it’s real, meaningful progress,” Murphy said on Twitter. “And it breaks a 30 year log jam, demonstrating that Democrats and Republicans can work together in a way that truly saves lives.”
The measure endorsed by a working group of 10 Republicans and 10 Democrats, including Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, would enhance background checks for buyers under age 21 and create a “red flag” tool to allow the seizure of firearms from troubled individuals.
The so-called “boyfriend loophole” in NICS, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, would be closed by requiring that domestic violence records and restraining orders be included.
“That’s very significant, the boyfriend loophole,” said Jeremy Stein, the executive director of Connecticut Against Gun Violence.
The summary also says the senators agreed on tougher penalties for “criminals who illegally straw purchase and traffic guns.” It also would invest “in programs to help institute safety measures in and around primary and secondary schools, support school violence prevention efforts and provide training to school personnel and students.”
But the details of exactly what that would mean were sparse, and it was clear the agreement did not include universal background checks for the purchase of firearms or restrict the sale of the military-style weapons and large-capacity magazines commonly used in mass shootings.
The deal comes after recent back-to-back mass shootings targeting Black shoppers in Buffalo and a school in Uvalde, Texas.
“Families are scared, and it is our duty to come together and get something done that will help restore their sense of safety and security in their communities,” the senators said. “Our plan increases needed mental health resources, improves school safety and support for students, and helps ensure dangerous criminals and those who are adjudicated as mentally ill can’t purchase weapons.”
The second portion addresses gun owners.
“Most importantly, our plan saves lives while also protecting the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans,” the senators said. “We look forward to earning broad, bipartisan support and passing our commonsense proposal into law.”
Stein, a former prosecutor who advocates for gun controls as the leader of Connecticut Against Gun Violence, struck a cautious note, praising a bipartisan deal as historic, while awaiting further details.
“I think it is a significant step in the right direction, but at the same time we still need to be doing more,” Stein said. “While this is a historical moment where we’re finally putting the safety of America before guns, we still have significant work to be done, including universal background checks and a ban on assault weapons.”
Stein said Connecticut’s laws should be a model for the rest of the nation.
Murphy, who was not available for comment, had challenged the Senate to end its stalemate after the Uvalde shooting.
“What are we doing? Just days after a shooter walked into a grocery store to gun down African American patrons, we have another Sandy Hook on our hands,” Murphy said. “What are we doing?”
The Democratic caucus members behind the compromise are Murphy, Blumenthal, Krysten Sinema of Arizona, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Chris Coons of Delaware, Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, Mark Kelly of Arizona, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Debbie Stabenow of Michigan and Angus King, an independent from Maine who caucuses with the Democrats.
The Republicans are John Cornyn of Texas, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania. | https://www.journalinquirer.com/politics_and_government/murphy-other-senators-announce-bipartisan-deal-on-guns/article_51d53fd2-eb1f-11ec-b4c8-e370b24ba9e6.html | 2022-06-13T14:18:39Z | https://www.journalinquirer.com/politics_and_government/murphy-other-senators-announce-bipartisan-deal-on-guns/article_51d53fd2-eb1f-11ec-b4c8-e370b24ba9e6.html | true | 3 |

SAN ANTONIO, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost Bank, one of the largest banks based in Texas, today expanded its 14-month-old $100 overdraft grace feature so that it is available to all Frost Personal Account and Frost Plus Account customers, regardless of direct deposit status. Expanding the feature means checking account customers who participate in the bank's standard courtesy overdraft program will not be charged a fee if they overdraw their checking accounts $100 or less.
At the same time, Frost announced it would eliminate fees on nonsufficient and returned items for all consumer customers. This applies to checking, savings, money market and health savings accounts.
Introduced in April 2021, overdraft grace positioned the Frost Personal Account and Frost Plus Account well ahead of accounts at other banks, which on average charge a $35 overdraft fee even on overdrafts as low as $6, or make customers earn an overdraft grace through tenure or credit rating. Since 2021, overdraft grace has helped more than 64,000 families obtain needed goods and services without incurring a fee. This has been especially important during the pandemic and as inflation pushed consumer prices higher.
For years, even before introducing overdraft grace, Frost helped customers by taking fee-minimizing steps such as posting credits before debits, and processing ATM and debit card transactions first, in the order they are received.
Now, by also eliminating NSF and returned item fees for consumers, Frost takes another step ahead of its competitors while reinforcing one of its guiding principles: doing what's right.
"Combined, the expansion of these features means Frost expects to forgo as much as $3.5 million per year," said Jimmy Stead, Chief Consumer Banking Officer. "Nevertheless, we understand that people sometimes make a mistake or have a need that requires a little more money. We're the friend that will spot them $100 when they need it."
To learn more about the new overdraft grace feature, visit frostbank.com/overdraftprogram
Frost is the banking, investments and insurance subsidiary of Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (NYSE: CFR), a financial holding company with $51.3 billion in assets at March 31, 2022. One of the 50 largest U.S. banks by asset size, Frost provides a full range of banking, investments and insurance services to businesses and individuals in the Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Permian Basin, Rio Grande Valley and San Antonio regions.

Robot delivery will be available on Ohio State University's campus this fall
CHICAGO and OAKLAND, Calif., June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Grubhub, the leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery platform on college campuses, and Cartken, a technology startup that specializes in self-driving, AI-powered robotics and delivery operations, announced a partnership today to bring robot delivery to college campuses. This delivery was piloted at Ohio State University this spring, and a full roll out is expected when students return to campus this fall.
Grubhub partners with more than 250 college campuses across the United States to give students the ability to integrate meal plans directly into their Grubhub account and access restaurants both on- and off-campus for delivery and pickup. The partnership with Cartken for autonomous robot delivery builds on Grubhub's existing campus offering and is a seamless fit for campus environments, which are notoriously difficult for cars to navigate.
"Robot delivery is exciting for students and helps provide even better service and innovative solutions to our campus partners," said Eric Harper, senior director of campus environments at Grubhub. "We've worked with Ohio State University for years on the campus dining front, and they are always an early adopter of solutions that create efficiencies for their operations and improve the student experience. We look forward to supporting our university partners and responding to their unique delivery environments as we roll out this technology at other campuses in the coming months."
Cartken's robots navigate pavements, crosswalks and pedestrian paths within the campus area without human guidance. The robots use Cartken's artificial intelligence (AI) and camera-based navigation and mapping technology, which the company developed for small autonomous vehicles to safely operate around pedestrians. Human override remains an option if necessary – for instance when a path is blocked – guaranteeing reliable operation and minimizing delivery delays. Cartken's robots operate at up to three miles per hour on campus and handle various weather conditions, including rain and snow.
"We're thrilled to be working with Grubhub to delight students and campus staff with robot delivery," said Christian Bersch, CEO of Cartken. "This collaboration perfectly aligns with our mission to use robotics and AI technology to provide friction-free and environmentally sustainable delivery, and have robots serve the community. We are excited to scale alongside Grubhub and offer robot delivery to students on campuses across the country."
"Robot delivery has been very popular on campus this past school year, validating our prediction that students would appreciate autonomous mobile delivery," said Zia Ahmed, senior director of Student Life Dining Services at Ohio State University. "We are excited about the return of robots to campus, and we have been testing the Cartken robots during the spring semester with the same vision to lower the cost of delivery, reduce the time it takes to deliver food and enhance sustainability."
For more information on how administrators can bring this delivery experience to their campus, please visit here.
Grubhub is part of Just Eat Takeaway.com (LSE: JET) (AMS: TKWY), a leading global online food delivery marketplace. Dedicated to connecting more than 32 million diners with the food they love from their favorite local restaurants, Grubhub elevates food ordering through innovative restaurant technology, easy-to-use platforms and an improved delivery experience.

The municipality of Milan is dedicating the garden in Piazza Grandi to sisters Angela and Luciana Giussani, creators of the iconic Diabolik character, the criminal anti-hero who was the protagonist of a recent film of the same name.
The ceremony is set to take place on June 15.
Angela and Luciana in 1962 invented Diabolik, whose 60th anniversary is being celebrated this year. June 10 was also an important date for Astorina, given that it was the 100th anniversary of the birth of Angela Giussani (1922-1987).
As part of the celebrations three monthly magazines (a previously unpublished Diabolik, out on the first day of the month, and reprints of Diabolik R, out on June 10 and Diabolik Swiisss on June 20) will include 16 extra pages dedicated to photos of the “mother” of Diabolik and recollections of those who knew her.
The seventh edition of Diabolik Magnum was also be published on June 10 with the title “Cento volte in gioco”.
The never published ‘Diamanti nei diamanti’ will be out on July 1 while on July 8 the extraordinary reprint of one of the most loved episodes, ‘Diabolik, chi sei?’ (1968), has been scheduled.
Together with the comic will be included two ‘diabolik’ poker decks of playing cards with designs by Riccardo Nunziati.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump's former campaign manager Bill Stepien abruptly pulled out of Monday's appearance before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, citing a family emergency, the panel said.
The committee was told on Monday morning that Stepien’s wife was in labor, according to a person briefed on the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity ahead of the hearing.
Stepien was expected to be a key witness as the panel delves deeper into what it calls the "big lie," the defeated Republican president's false claims of voter fraud that fueled his relentless effort to overturn the 2020 election and led a mob of his supporters to lay siege to the U.S. Capitol. A longtime Trump ally, Stepien had been subpoenaed to appear, and it was unclear if he would have been a cooperative witness.
The committee said Stepien's counsel will appear and make a statement, and it pushed back its morning start time as lawmakers and staff scrambled for the change of plans.
Monday's hearing was set to resume with other live witnesses, including a U.S. attorney who abruptly resigned as Trump pressured state officials in Georgia to alter the election results. The committee members say they have uncovered enough evidence for the Justice Department to consider an unprecedented criminal indictment against the former president.
Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and vice chair Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., are set to lead the morning hearing after last week's blockbuster session drew nearly 20 million Americans to see its prime-time findings.
For the past year, the committee has been investigating the most violent attack on the Capitol since the War of 1812 to ensure such an assault never happens again. Lawmakers hope to show that Trump's effort to overturn Joe Biden's election victory posed a grave threat to democracy.
Stepien, who remains close to Trump, oversaw the "conversion" of Trump's presidential campaign to a "Stop the Steal" effort, according to a subpoena issued by the committee last fall. He was expected to face questions about what those in Trump's inner circle were telling the president about the election results. Stepien is now a top campaign adviser to the Trump-endorsed House candidate, Harriet Hageman, who is challenging Cheney in the Wyoming Republican primary election.
During a briefing ahead of the hearing with reporters, a committee aide declined to say Sunday if Stepien was expected to be a cooperative witness. Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich suggested Sunday that the committee’s decision to call Stepien was politically motivated.
The committee is also set to hear testimony from Chris Stirewalt, a former Fox News Channel political editor closely involved in election night coverage who stood by the decision to declare Arizona as being won by Biden. He wrote about his experiences later in an op-ed and might be asked about Trump's actions as Fox New declared states Biden won.
A second group of witnesses testifying Monday will be made up of election officials, investigators and experts who are likely to discuss Trump's responses to the election, including dozens of failed court challenges, and how his actions diverged from U.S. norms.
Among them is the former U.S. attorney in Atlanta, BJay Pak, who abruptly resigned after Trump pressured Georgia state officials to overturn his presidential defeat. Trump wanted to fire Pak as disloyal, but Pak stepped down after Trump's call urging Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" enough votes to overturn Biden's win in the state became public.
The panel will also hear from former Philadelphia City Commissioner Al Schmidt, the only Republican on the election board and who faced down criticism as the state's election was called for Biden, and noted Washington attorney and elections lawyer Benjamin Ginsberg.
As he mulls another White House run, Trump insists the committee's investigation is a “witch hunt.” Last week he said Jan. 6 “represented the greatest movement in the history of our country.”
Nine people died in the riot and its aftermath, including a Trump supporter shot and killed by police. More than 800 people have been arrested in the siege, and members of two extremist groups have been indicted on rare sedition charges over their roles leading the charge into the Capitol.
In its prime-time hearing, the committee laid out how Trump was told over and over again by his trusted aides and officials at the highest levels of government that there was no election fraud on a scale that could have changed the outcome. But Trump pursued his false claims about the election and beckoned supporters to Washington on Jan. 6 to overturn Biden's victory as Congress was set to certify the Electoral College results.
Additional evidence is set to be released in hearings this week focusing on Trump's decision to ignore the outcome of the election and the court cases that ruled against him.
Monday’s hearing will also turn to the millions of dollars Trump’s team brought in fundraising in the run-up to Jan. 6, according to a committee aide who insisted on anonymity to discuss the details.
The committee has said most of those interviewed in the investigation are coming forward voluntarily, although some have wanted subpoenas to appear in public.
Lawmakers indicated that perhaps their most important audience member over the course of the hearings may be Attorney General Merrick Garland, who must decide whether his department can and should prosecute Trump. They left no doubt as to their own view whether the evidence is sufficient to proceed.
“Once the evidence is accumulated by the Justice Department, it needs to make a decision about whether it can prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt the president’s guilt or anyone else’s,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif, a panel member.. “But they need to be investigated if there’s credible evidence, which I think there is.”
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., another member said on CNN he doesn’t intend to “browbeat” Garland but noted the committee has already laid out in legal pleadings criminal statutes they believe Trump violated.
“I think that he knows, his staff knows, the U.S. attorneys know, what’s at stake here,” Raskin said.
No president or ex-president has ever been indicted. Garland has not said whether he would be willing to prosecute.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump's former campaign manager Bill Stepien abruptly pulled out of Monday's appearance before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, citing a family emergency, the panel said.
The committee was told on Monday morning that Stepien’s wife was in labor, according to a person briefed on the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity ahead of the hearing.
Stepien was expected to be a key witness as the panel delves deeper into what it calls the "big lie," the defeated Republican president's false claims of voter fraud that fueled his relentless effort to overturn the 2020 election and led a mob of his supporters to lay siege to the U.S. Capitol. A longtime Trump ally, Stepien had been subpoenaed to appear, and it was unclear if he would have been a cooperative witness.
The committee said Stepien's counsel will appear and make a statement, and it pushed back its morning start time as lawmakers and staff scrambled for the change of plans.
Monday's hearing was set to resume with other live witnesses, including a U.S. attorney who abruptly resigned as Trump pressured state officials in Georgia to alter the election results. The committee members say they have uncovered enough evidence for the Justice Department to consider an unprecedented criminal indictment against the former president.
Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and vice chair Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., are set to lead the morning hearing after last week's blockbuster session drew nearly 20 million Americans to see its prime-time findings.
For the past year, the committee has been investigating the most violent attack on the Capitol since the War of 1812 to ensure such an assault never happens again. Lawmakers hope to show that Trump's effort to overturn Joe Biden's election victory posed a grave threat to democracy.
Stepien, who remains close to Trump, oversaw the "conversion" of Trump's presidential campaign to a "Stop the Steal" effort, according to a subpoena issued by the committee last fall. He was expected to face questions about what those in Trump's inner circle were telling the president about the election results. Stepien is now a top campaign adviser to the Trump-endorsed House candidate, Harriet Hageman, who is challenging Cheney in the Wyoming Republican primary election.
During a briefing ahead of the hearing with reporters, a committee aide declined to say Sunday if Stepien was expected to be a cooperative witness. Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich suggested Sunday that the committee’s decision to call Stepien was politically motivated.
The committee is also set to hear testimony from Chris Stirewalt, a former Fox News Channel political editor closely involved in election night coverage who stood by the decision to declare Arizona as being won by Biden. He wrote about his experiences later in an op-ed and might be asked about Trump's actions as Fox New declared states Biden won.
A second group of witnesses testifying Monday will be made up of election officials, investigators and experts who are likely to discuss Trump's responses to the election, including dozens of failed court challenges, and how his actions diverged from U.S. norms.
Among them is the former U.S. attorney in Atlanta, BJay Pak, who abruptly resigned after Trump pressured Georgia state officials to overturn his presidential defeat. Trump wanted to fire Pak as disloyal, but Pak stepped down after Trump's call urging Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" enough votes to overturn Biden's win in the state became public.
The panel will also hear from former Philadelphia City Commissioner Al Schmidt, the only Republican on the election board and who faced down criticism as the state's election was called for Biden, and noted Washington attorney and elections lawyer Benjamin Ginsberg.
As he mulls another White House run, Trump insists the committee's investigation is a “witch hunt.” Last week he said Jan. 6 “represented the greatest movement in the history of our country.”
Nine people died in the riot and its aftermath, including a Trump supporter shot and killed by police. More than 800 people have been arrested in the siege, and members of two extremist groups have been indicted on rare sedition charges over their roles leading the charge into the Capitol.
In its prime-time hearing, the committee laid out how Trump was told over and over again by his trusted aides and officials at the highest levels of government that there was no election fraud on a scale that could have changed the outcome. But Trump pursued his false claims about the election and beckoned supporters to Washington on Jan. 6 to overturn Biden's victory as Congress was set to certify the Electoral College results.
Additional evidence is set to be released in hearings this week focusing on Trump's decision to ignore the outcome of the election and the court cases that ruled against him.
Monday’s hearing will also turn to the millions of dollars Trump’s team brought in fundraising in the run-up to Jan. 6, according to a committee aide who insisted on anonymity to discuss the details.
The committee has said most of those interviewed in the investigation are coming forward voluntarily, although some have wanted subpoenas to appear in public.
Lawmakers indicated that perhaps their most important audience member over the course of the hearings may be Attorney General Merrick Garland, who must decide whether his department can and should prosecute Trump. They left no doubt as to their own view whether the evidence is sufficient to proceed.
“Once the evidence is accumulated by the Justice Department, it needs to make a decision about whether it can prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt the president’s guilt or anyone else’s,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif, a panel member.. “But they need to be investigated if there’s credible evidence, which I think there is.”
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., another member said on CNN he doesn’t intend to “browbeat” Garland but noted the committee has already laid out in legal pleadings criminal statutes they believe Trump violated.
“I think that he knows, his staff knows, the U.S. attorneys know, what’s at stake here,” Raskin said.
No president or ex-president has ever been indicted. Garland has not said whether he would be willing to prosecute.

Australian Test captain Pat Cummins posted a heartfelt message on the eve of men's health week, which will be from June 13 to 19 this year. The right-arm speedster put out a tweet urging people to keep checking on one another's mental well-being.
Mental health concerns have come to the forefront amongst the cricketing fraternity over the past few years, especially with the emergence of bio-bubble protocols. In recent times, several renowned cricketers have opted for an indefinite break from cricket to focus on their mental health.
The New South Wales bowler wrote in his Twitter post:
"Something all of us blokes can be better at is checking in on our own and mates' mental health. There are times where we all may feel alone and helpless but it's never reality. Check in on your mates, you should never have to worry alone."
In August last year, England all-rounder and their current Test captain Ben Stokes took a break from all cricket to prioritize his mental well-being. He eventually returned in the Ashes series later that year Down Under. Australian players Glenn Maxwell and Will Pucovski also did the same in late 2019.
Pat Cummins named in the playing XI for the first ODI against Sri Lanka
On the cricketing side of things, Cummins will play his first game of Australia's Sri Lanka tour on Tuesday in the first ODI in Pallekele. The 28-year-old was impressive as captain of Australia's Test leg in Pakistan, bagging 12 wickets in 22.50, with a solitary fifer. He will look to regain his form ahead of the two-Test series, starting later this month.
The tourists, led by Aaron Finch, have already won the three-game T20 series. Sri Lanka might have lost the T20 leg. However, their thrilling last-over win in the third and final game will give them momentum ahead of the 50-over fixtures. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/news-check-mates-never-worry-alone-pat-cummins-spreads-awareness-men-s-health-week | 2022-06-13T14:36:58Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/news-check-mates-never-worry-alone-pat-cummins-spreads-awareness-men-s-health-week | false | 1 |

Darrick Forrest didn't have the rookie season that he or the Washington Commanders expected, but he's been making up for that this offseason.
Forrest, who was drafted in the fifth round last year, was expected to be a key contributor on special teams as well as a piece of the Commanders' secondary. Those plans were derailed before they began, however, as he was placed on Injured Reserve prior to Week 1 and didn't make his debut until November.
Now that Forrest is healthy, he's getting plenty of attention from his coaches.
"I've seen a tremendous amount of growth," coach Ron Rivera said of the safety.
Forrest received a bulk of first-team reps during OTAs, and there have been several plays where he came close to grabbing an interception from Carson Wentz. That shouldn't be a surprise, considering how well the former Cincinnati Bearcat captain performed in college. From 2017-20, he recorded 200 tackles, 12 pass breakups, six interceptions and a fumble recovery.
While he didn't get a pick for himself during OTAs, he did help a teammate secure one. During the final team drills of the day on June 8, Forrest jumped on a pass from Wentz, who was trying to make a play in the middle of the field. Rather than hitting its intended target, the ball popped in the air and fell into the hands of Cole Holcomb.
Rivera said the play was emblematic of Forrest's progress.
"He is also one of the other guys that I've had to speak to about being a little overly anxious," Rivera said. "But you don't wanna take that away from him because that's why he's making those plays because he's doing those things."
Forrest, who took pride in his role on special teams at Cincinnati, has been making progress on that side of the ball for Washington as well, with Rivera adding that he's stepping up as one of the leaders for the group.
"There's a lot of positives that are coming out of this."
With much of Washington's starting secondary already in place, special teams is where Forrest is most likely to make an impact. However, if Forrest continues this growth spurt into training camp, the Commanders could use him more often in the rotation.

NEW YORK, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Now in their second year of partnership, H&M USA and Buy From A Black Woman (BFABW) have announced Actress, Producer and CEO Tracee Ellis Ross as the non-profit's new ambassador for 2022. Having launched her own hair care company, PATTERN, in 2018, Ross will amplify the non-profit's mission of helping other Black Woman owned businesses flourish through a community of support and resources.
On June 10th, Ross and BFABW Founder Nikki Porcher sat down together at H&M's Los Angeles showroom to have a candid discussion about the challenges and successes Black Woman encounter as business owners. Joined by members of the Buy From a Black Woman (BFABW) community and surrounded by a display of products from member businesses, Ross and Porcher delved into topics such as starting your own business, strengthening a network of Black women business owners, and how Black women are often called to create their own path to fill a need that is often unrecognized by corporations. Ross, herself a talented multihyphenate with years of experience in entertainment and business, gave words of wisdom and advice to young Black women seeking to achieve their own goals in a world where they may not always be seen.
"I am proud to help support Buy From a Black Woman and the incredible network of business owners they've brought together," says Ross. "Black women and their contributions are often overlooked, which is why it's crucial for us to come together to build, strengthen and create our own opportunities for success."
Buy From a Black Woman is a non-profit organization founded in 2016 by Nikki Porcher that connects hundreds of Black Woman owned businesses across the United States and provides a community of support with the goal of helping their businesses flourish. Throughout 2021, H&M sponsored events like the Buy From A Black Woman Inspire Tour and the BFABW Holiday Market which ran November through December 2021 at H&M's Times Square location. These events, which saw products from over 50 Black Woman owned businesses sold at H&M locations across the country, exposed new customers to these Buy From a Black Woman member businesses and business owners.
"It's hard to describe in words what it means to have Tracee Ellis Ross as an ambassador for Buy From A Black Woman. This year we are celebrating and showing the world that Black Women are living examples. I couldn't think of a better example to help us spread our message of just how important it is to buy from and support Black Women Business Owners better than Ms. Ross. We are truly honoured to work with her and to continue our partnership with H&M," says Nikki Porcher, Founder of Buy From a Black Woman.
Now in the second year of partnership, H&M USA will continue its support of Buy From a Black Woman through a variety of activities and support aimed at continuing the growth and success of the business owners, beginning with a donation of $250,000. This summer, H&M USA will again sponsor the organization's Buy From a Black Woman Inspire Tour, leveraging H&M USA's channels and brick and mortar locations to highlight Black Woman owned businesses across the country.
"We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Tracee Ellis Ross to propel our support of Buy From a Black Woman even further," says Donna Dozier Gordon, Head of Inclusion and Diversity for H&M Region Americas. "Ms. Ross' role as Buy From A Black Woman ambassador will be a force multiplier in amplifying the critical work being done to elevate the success of Black woman business owners, and in turn, uplift entire communities. H&M's collaboration with Buy From A Black Woman continues to exemplify the impact we want to have in empowering and creating capacity in the communities in which we live and work."

How to Wash a Smelly Sports Jersey
Product Care
Use these tips to thoroughly clean a sports jersey after a sweaty game.
Supplies
- White vinegar
- Laundry detergent
- Bicarbonate of soda
Tools
- Clean, spare toothbrush
If you've ever put on a sports jersey you thought was clean, only to discover it's still smelly from the last time you wore it, the cause is probably the fact that odour-causing bacteria hasn't been fully washed out. To avoid encountering that stale, unpleasant smell, follow these tips to wash a jersey properly.
First, Check the Care Instructions
Jerseys are often made from polyester or synthetic fabrics that are machine washable, but some jerseys feature embroidered letters or numbers that require extra care. In general, when washing a sports jersey or other workout clothes, it's best to use cold water and avoid the dryer. However, be sure to check the label inside the garment to make sure you're taking the proper steps to wash and dry it.
How to Prep a Jersey Before Washing
- Turn it inside out. This makes it easier to wash out any oils or sweat that have invaded the surface of the clothing. Washing jerseys inside out also helps prevent any iron-on letters or numbers from peeling off or fading in the machine. For added protection, put the inside-out jersey in a garment bag before washing.
- Wash in cold water and on a gentle cycle. Washing in cold water helps prevent fading, shrinking or damage to letters or numbers on the jersey.
- Avoid using fabric softener. Adding fabric softener can make it more difficult for the detergent to fully penetrate the fibres where the odours and bacteria may be trapped.
Using White Vinegar to Remove Stubborn Odours
If there's a household staple to have on hand for deodorising stinky gear, it's white vinegar. This type of vinegar, which you may already have at home, can be used to clean just about anything around the house.
To use white vinegar to clean a jersey, take a cup of vinegar and pour it into the washing machine (or inside the bleach dispenser if the machine has one). Then add the laundry detergent as you normally would. The acid in white vinegar is a powerhouse at removing odours from fabrics, and it doesn't leave clothing smelling like vinegar.
If you have stubborn odours that don't disappear after using the vinegar-and-laundry-detergent method, add half a cup of bicarbonate of soda directly onto the jersey after you've put it into the washing machine with the vinegar and detergent. Then run the wash cycle.
How to Soak and Pre-Treat Stains
If there are grass stains, dirt or other grimy spots on the jersey, be sure to pre-soak the stain. Make a simple solution of white vinegar, water and bicarbonate of soda. Mix 1 cup of water and 1 cup of vinegar together, then add in a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda. Allow the stained part of the jersey to soak in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
You can also use shop-bought pre-soak treatments to loosen up stains and odours. Whatever ingredient you choose for a pre-soak, it's best to let the jersey remain submerged for at least 30 minutes before putting it into the washing machine.
For extra-stubborn stains, such as those from grass, try making a paste out of equal parts bicarbonate of soda and vinegar, and pour it directly over the stained area. Use a clean toothbrush to rub the paste into the stain. Then let the fabric absorb the paste for at least an hour before washing it in the machine.
Avoid the Dryer
Over time, heat can damage a jersey, causing any letters, numbers or other details on the jersey to crack or peel off. It's best to avoid putting the jersey in the dryer. Instead, allow it to air dry on a flat surface.
However Much You Sweat …
Remember to wash similar clothing together, and avoid putting your workout gear in the laundry with towels, fleece or other materials that may have a lot of lint. Over time, washing athletic apparel with these other items may cause pilling. Also, don't overdo it with the detergent. Using an excessive amount of detergent won't make the clothing cleaner. Instead, it can create an unwanted build-up of soap and residue that can trap odours in clothing after it's been washed.

National Herald case: 'Gandhi family falsely implicated', says Bhupesh Baghel as ED grills Rahul Gandhi
Calling the ED action on Gandhi 'malicious', the Chhattisgarh chief minister said that the Centre is using its agencies to 'suppress the voice of Opposition'
New Delhi: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Monday took part in a solidarity march in support of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who was summoned by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case related to the AJL case.
Gandhi on Monday faced questioning by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money-laundering investigation in the National Herald case.
Addressing the media, the Chief Minister said, "The entire country is witness to the dictatorship of the ruling BJP. Congress workers were being detained from reaching the party headquarters. The entire area has been cordoned off and police have been deployed all around in an attempt to crush democracy. It is the democratic right of the opposition party to protest."
Calling the ED action on Gandhi "malicious", the chief minister said that the Centre is using its agencies to "suppress the voice of Opposition".
"The Centre is misusing investigative agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Income Tax to suppress the voice of the opposition," he said.
Baghel alleged that the Gandhi family members were being "falsely implicated" in the money laundering case as part of a political agenda.
"Money laundering case against the Gandhi family is baseless and Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are being falsely implicated. Congress leaders are being harassed with political malice," he alleged.
The chief minister announced that the demonstration by the Congress workers will be even more intense than the one today when party interim president Sonia Gandhi will appear for the probe at the ED office.
"When Sonia Gandhi will appear before the ED, there will be a bigger demonstration than this," he said.
Congress leaders and workers have staged protests holding placards at AICC headquarters in New Delhi over the summons. Various leaders including Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel and Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot took part in the party's Satyagraha march.
Rahul Gandhi, the 51-year-old politician, who entered the headquarters of the federal probe agency in central Delhi around 11 am after starting from the Congress office on Akbar Road, was accompanied by a large group of party leaders including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, and Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel.
He is being questioned by an Assistant Director level officer-- the investigating officer of the case--supervised by a Deputy Director and a Joint Director.
Another officer is learnt to be typing Gandhi's statement which is being recorded under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.

(THE CONVERSATION) Starbucks Workers United won its 100th election on May 27, 2022 – fittingly, in Seattle, the company’s hometown. And the union has notched another 46 victories in the just over two weeks since then. It comes six months after organizers won their first two union victories, in Buffalo, New. York.
Although each unionized workplace is small, with a couple dozen employees apiece, the campaign is already, by my reckoning, one of the most successful unionizing efforts in recent U.S. history, with victories in 28 states. Over 100 additional Starbucks outlets have petitioned to unionize and are awaiting elections in the coming days and weeks, and several other votes are awaiting resolution. Starbucks has strongly opposed the campaign, and the union has lost about 22 elections so far.
The overwhelming success of the Starbucks labor organizing efforts is inspiring workers at other retailers, such as Amazon, REI, Apple and Trader Joe’s, which have all seen an increase in organizing activity or even their first unions.
When the Starbucks unionizing movement was in its infancy, few observers believed that the campaign could spread so quickly or win so many elections, often by huge margins. Indeed, a few years ago, most union officials would have thought it impossible to organize a young and often transient low-wage service sector workforce spread across almost 9,000 small stores. And most union drives in recent decades, such as at Walmart and FedEx, have failed.
So why has the Starbucks campaign been so much more successful?
As a scholar who has studied corporate opposition to unions for 20 years, I believe there are five key reasons.
1. Shift in sentiment
The Starbucks campaign would, I believe, likely not have been successful three years ago, before the pandemic hit.
After March 2020, service workers faced increasingly difficult, stressful and dangerous workplace conditions. For example, they were often tasked with enforcing mask and vaccine mandates and dealing with unruly customers who refused to comply. And their jobs on the front lines put them at greater risk of contracting COVID-19. At the same time, surveys showed many workers didn’t think their employers were treating them with respect or providing adequate safety equipment.
As a result, record numbers of workers – especially in the service sector – began quitting their jobs in mid-2021 in what became known as the “great resignation.” The labor shortages created more pressure on overworked employees, and the huge rise in mobile app orders compounded the workplace stress for Starbucks baristas.
These workers that didn’t quit their jobs, however, became more emboldened and seized an opportunity to get organized. Today, support for unions in the U.S. is at its highest since 1965, at 68%.
2. A role model
Starbucks Workers United’s strategy involved unionizing one store at a time by using a worker-driven model that could be replicated easily and quickly.
At the start of the campaign in December 2021, Starbucks management tried, and failed, to require the union to win a majority of all Starbucks workers in Buffalo – not just those at individual stores. It’s likely pro-union workers would have lost such an election, but the National Labor Relations Board rejected Starbucks’ arguments.
This allowed workers to organize each store one at time and develop a replicable model, enabling it to spread rapidly. In fact, when commentators describe the campaign as spreading “like wildfire” or similar terms, it obscures the innovative and deliberate process that has been behind its remarkable success.
Workers typically find out about the campaign through traditional or social media, and then reach out to organizers behind the campaign. They then have a Zoom meeting with a worker-organizer at a union store who explains how to print cards, how to discuss signing up for the union with co-workers, how to write a letter to Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz requesting union recognition, and how to petition the NLRB for an election. This pattern has been repeated multiple times throughout the country, even in places in which private-sector unions are rare.
There is no obvious reason why a similar model could not work at other nonunionized companies with young, progressive workforces, such as Trader Joe’s, Apple and REI. Indeed, Trader Joe’s employees at a Massachusetts store just filed to create the company’s first union, and REI employees in Manhattan voted to form the company’s first unionized store in March 2022.
3. Starbucks’ progressive rep
Another factor that helped Starbucks pro-union workers is the retailer’s self-proclaimed progressive reputation, as shown through its public support for issues such as LBGTQ rights and racial justice.
Naturally, this has attracted workers who tend to be young, college-educated, more progressive and thus more inclined to support a union. The flipside of Starbucks’ ostensible progressivism is that its efforts to prevent workers from forming unions are seen by some employees as hypocritical.
In addition, Starbucks’ tendency to speak out on progressive issues has increased media attentionsurrounding workers’ efforts to organize and Starbucks’ reaction to them. This has helped the campaign spread a lot faster and farther, encouraging like-minded baristas elsewhere to join.
4. Fellowship of the baristas
The campaign has also benefited from the strong sense of community that already existed among Starbucks’ young staff.
Starbucks has long fostered a sense of camaraderie between its workers. For example, it calls them “partners,” implying they aren’t just casual employees but play a meaningful role in the company. Lawyers and hedge funds use the term partners to refer to employees who have an ownership stake.
Although workers said they often felt like they weren’t treated as such, this helped create a close-knit community at individual workplaces. That’s why most of the union votes were either overwhelming or unanimous. In the words of the union, the campaign is about “partners becoming partners.”
5. Grassroots mojo
Unlike labor union drives of the past, which have been more typically directed by national or regional leaders, Starbucks workers have driven the unionizing campaign largely on their own. This decentralized, grassroots dynamism is what has allowed the unionizing campaign to spread so widely and so quickly.
The old way of organizing was dependent on union organizers approaching workers at each location, making it slower and much more cumbersome. Some labor leaders are now more ready to embrace organizing at a more grassroots, worker-to-worker level.
When workers take the lead, it means you’re more likely to have local buy-in – the organizers are inside the workplace and known and trusted by their co-workers – and doesn’t require them to wait for other union leaders to recognize interest in forming a union. And in this way, the activist workers don’t simply feel like they are part of a union but they themselves are the union.
For these reasons, I believe there is every chance that eventually a majority of Starbucks stores will become unionized. And if the Starbucks model continues to be successful, it could encourage workers at other companies to adopt the same playbook. In fact, we may be on the cusp of a union revival like American workers haven’t seen in almost a century.

Hundreds of parents of students of Islamic Senior High School (SHS) in Kumasi are currently wailing at the entrance of the school demanding to see their children.
Some students of the school today embarked on a demonstration to protest over regular knockdowns by vehicles.
The latest incident was on last Friday when a teacher was knocked down by a speeding vehicle, taking the toll to eight in recent months. The matter compelled the students to protest on campus.
The Police were called in to restore calm but reportedly escalated issues by firing tear gas. Many students collapsed with some 25 of the students needing urgent medical care.
Scores of parents have trooped to the school demanding to see their children.
One father who cried uncontrollably said he fears his daughter may have been killed by rubber bullets allegedly shot by the Police.
“Perhaps my daughter will die. If she dies then the Ghana Police may have to kill me. My worry is that this is the Ghana Police. These are the people we expect to protect us.
“These are students and they can’t control them and they have to shoot and use tear gas. I can’t find my daughter, I have been to many places and I can’t find them,” the man said while crying.
Reports gathered indicate that many students were left unconscious after the tear gas incident with others complaining of severe pains. | https://www.modernghana.com/news/1164382/ar-parents-cry-after-police-use-tear-gas-on-demo.html | 2022-06-13T14:47:14Z | https://www.modernghana.com/news/1164382/ar-parents-cry-after-police-use-tear-gas-on-demo.html | true | 1 |
When she was growing up, writer Anne Dimock was rarely far from a pie. There were four apple trees in the backyard and her grandmother baked 100 pies every year. But sadly, Dimock says, pies are just a childhood memory for most people, disappearing from our daily lives.
"I think pie's got a very deep and profound meaning in a lot of people's lives," she says. The memory of pie "really evokes a powerful connection for them. I think it speaks to our longing for family, for some closeness and togetherness and perhaps innocence."
Dimock's new book is called Humble Pie: Musings on What Lies Beneath the Crust. Among its recipes is one for Thanksgiving pie. But the formula doesn't include the traditional ingredients of pumpkins or sweet potatoes. Instead, she uses apples and cranberries (it is Thanksgiving, after all), topped with walnuts.
Here's the recipe from Humble Pie, followed by an excerpt about what pies reveal about men.
