WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Native Americans prosecuted in certain tribal courts can also be prosecuted based on the same incident in federal court, which can result in longer sentences.
The 6-3 ruling is in keeping with an earlier ruling from the 1970s that said the same about a more widely used type of tribal court.
The case before the justices involved a Navajo Nation member, Merle Denezpi, accused of rape. He served nearly five months in jail after being charged with assault and battery in what is called a Court of Indian Offenses, a court that deals exclusively with alleged Native American offenders.
Under federal law Courts of Indian Offenses can only impose sentences of generally up to a year. The man was later prosecuted in federal court and sentenced to 30 years in prison. He said the Constitution’s “Double Jeopardy” clause should have barred the second prosecution.
But the justices disagreed.
“Denezpi’s single act led to separate prosecutions for violations of a tribal ordinance and a federal statute. Because the Tribe and the Federal Government are distinct sovereigns, those” offenses are not the same, Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for a majority of the court. “Denezpi’s second prosecution therefore did not offend the Double Jeopardy Clause.”
The Biden administration had argued for that result as had several states, which said barring federal prosecutions in similar cases could allow defendants to escape harsh sentences.
The case before the justices involves a tribal court system that has become increasingly rare over the last century. Courts of Indian Offenses were created in the late 1800s during a period when the federal government's policy toward Native Americans was to encourage assimilation. Prosecutors are federal officers answerable to federal authorities, not tribal authorities.
Federal policy toward Native Americans shifted in the mid-1930s, however, to emphasize a greater respect for tribes' native ways. As part of that, the government has encouraged tribes to create their own tribal courts, and the number of Courts of Indian Offenses has steadily decreased. Today there are five regional Courts of Indian Offenses that serve 16 tribes in Colorado, Oklahoma, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. They are generally tribes with a small number of members or limited resources. Nationwide there are more than 570 federally recognized tribes.
The court said in 1978 that the Double Jeopardy clause did not bar the federal government from prosecuting a Native person in federal court after a tribal court prosecution, so the only question for the court this time was whether the rule should be different for Courts of Indian Offenses.
In July 2017, Denezpi traveled with a female member of the Navajo Nation to Towaoc, Colorado, which is a part of the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation. While there, Denezpi raped the woman.
Denezpi was first charged in a Court of Indian Offenses with assault and battery, among other things. He eventually agreed to a so-called Alford plea in the case, not admitting guilt but acknowledging that prosecutors had enough evidence that he would likely be convicted at trial. He was sentenced to time served, 140 days in jail. His prosecution in federal court followed. | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Supreme-Court-rules-against-Navajo-Nation-member-17237897.php | 2022-06-13T14:49:12Z | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Supreme-Court-rules-against-Navajo-Nation-member-17237897.php | false | 71 |

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi leaders vowed Monday to move forward with efforts to form a government following the shocking resignation of 73 lawmakers from parliament during a prolonged political impasse.
But the unprecedented mass withdrawal by members of powerful Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr’s bloc dramatically alters the political landscape, throwing government formation talks into further doubt.
It is a huge gamble by al-Sadr, one of the most influential politicians in Iraq with a large street following, leaving his political movement out of parliament for the first time since 2005.
The surprise move is an attempt to break a persistent political impasse eight months after general elections were held.
Al-Sadr emerged as the winner of the October vote, giving him 73 out of Parliament’s 329 seats. It was also a blow for his Iran-backed Shiite rivals who lost about two-thirds of their seats and have rejected the results.
Since then, the two sides have been locked in a cutthroat competition for power, even as the country faces growing challenges including an impending food crisis resulting from severe drought and the war in Ukraine.
Al-Sadr had been intent on forming, along with his allies, a majority government that excludes the Iran-backed factions. But he has not been able to corral enough lawmakers to get the two-thirds majority needed to elect Iraq’s next president — a necessary step ahead of naming the next prime minister and selecting a Cabinet.
On Sunday, he ordered his lawmakers to resign calling it a “sacrifice” he was making for the good of the country. His cousin and nominee for prime minister, Jaafar al-Sadr, withdrew his candidacy Monday.
“Muqtada’s withdrawal bolsters his political position, and will help him win the sympathy of the disenchanted Iraqi street fed up from politicians and the political process,” said political analyst Ihsan al-Shammari.
“He knows there’s going to be protests in the street, and this will open communication channels with the protesters, making him the only survivor,” he added.
The question now is whether the political parties will be able to form a government with al-Sadr in the opposition.
With the resignation of Sadrist lawmakers, Iranian-backed groups are now expected to hold the majority in parliament.
According to Iraqi law, if a seat in parliament becomes vacant, the candidate who obtained the second highest number of votes in the district takes the seat. In this case, it would be al-Sadr’s opponents from the so-called Coordination Framework, a coalition led by Iran-backed Shiite parties and their allies.
“Any government in which Muqtada does not participate will be stillborn,” Shammari said. He also questioned whether the Iran-backed parties would be able and willing to negotiate with Kurdish Democratic Party leader Masoud Barzani, with whom there is mutual and deep-seated distrust.
The election was held several months earlier than expected, in response to mass protests that broke out in late 2019 that saw tens of thousands rally against endemic corruption, poor services and unemployment.
Parliament Speaker Mohammed Halbousi said Monday that government formation efforts will continue based on certain “other political understandings,” without elaborating.
A Shiite politician said he expected the political process to go ahead with the Coordination Framework, which will have more than 100 seats after al-Sadr’s withdrawal, seeking to form the next government.
“Negotiations will proceed with the other Sunni and Kurdish blocs,” he said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to give official statements.
He said the next government may face protests or disturbances in the street, especially from followers of al-Sadr, and its success would depend on the government’s ability to manage it.
A member of parliament from the Coordination Framework who refused to be named admitted they were baffled by al-Sadr’s withdrawal.
“We do not know yet the motives behind Muqtada’s withdrawal. ... This was a surprise for all of us,” he said. The lawmaker pointed out that the resignations took place while parliament was in recess and that there could still be new developments.
“We have a month for parliament to return and everything is possible in this month,” he said. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Iraqi-leaders-vow-to-move-ahead-after-dozens-quit-17237858.php | 2022-06-13T14:58:38Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Iraqi-leaders-vow-to-move-ahead-after-dozens-quit-17237858.php | false | 11 |
Museveni’s son: I’m on top of Jesus Christ
President Yoweri Museveni’s son Muhoozi Kainerugaba has sensationally suggested he’s on top of Jesus Christ.
Although he didn’t suggest what he meant by that, Muhoozi also bragged to his fans on Twitter that people actually knew where he was born.
On top of that Jesus Christ is the Commander-in-Chief and God of the Bachwezi. We know exactly where He was born! It is somewhere in Kiruhura!
— Muhoozi Kainerugaba (@mkainerugaba) June 11, 2022
Jesus Christ is believed by Christians to be the son of God who not only performed miracles on earth during his time, died and resurrected after three days.
Muhoozi has also recently described himself as one of the most handsome people on earth.

The only son to Uganda’s President, Muhoozi made these claims made a week after visiting President Uhuru Kenyatta in Nairobi to discuss among other things bilateral relations and the war in DR Congo.
A senior official in the Ugandan army, a statement from State House Nairobi indicated he made the visit in his capacity as an Ugandan envoy.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The number of detected illegal entries into the European Union in the first five months of 2022 was more than 86,000, or 82% more than in the same period in 2021, the agency monitoring the EU’s external borders said Monday.
Crossings in May alone numbered some 23,500 — 75% up from May last year, according to preliminary data released by Frontex.
The European Border and Coast Guard Agency said that the figure did not include refugees from almost four months of war in Ukraine, whose number it pegged at some 5.5 million. They are authorized to enter the EU.
The routes taken most often by irregular migrants are through the Western Balkans, which accounted for almost 41,000 crossings, mostly migrants from Syria and Afghanistan, and through the Central and Eastern Mediterranean, where Egyptians, Bangladeshis, Tunisians, Nigerians and Congolese are common.
The figures show the number of entries and do not take account of the fact that sometimes the same person makes multiple attempts. | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/Border-agency-illegal-entries-into-EU-up-82-17237832.php | 2022-06-13T15:10:30Z | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/Border-agency-illegal-entries-into-EU-up-82-17237832.php | false | 33 |

STOCKHOLM (AP) — NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Monday he was “glad” that the Swedish government has confirmed its “readiness to address Turkey’s concerns as part of assuming the obligations of future NATO membership.”
After decades of military non-alignment, Russia’s war in Ukraine pushed Finland and Sweden to apply to join NATO in May. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, however, accuses the Nordic nations of supporting Kurdish militants deemed by Turkey to be terrorists and has vetoed their entry into the alliance until they change their policies.
Sweden is taking “the Turkish concerns very seriously" and "not at least their security concerns when it comes to the fight against terrorism,” said Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson and added that her “ambition is that we should have these matters resolved.”
Stoltenberg said Sweden “has already started to change its counter-terrorism legislation” and that the Scandinavian country “will ensure that the legal framework for arms exports will reflect their future status as a NATO member with new commitments to allies.”
“These are two important steps to address the concerns that Turkey has raised,” he said..
“The aim is to solve those issues as soon as possible, to be able to welcome Finland and Sweden as full members as soon as possible,” he said.
Stoltenberg declined to say whether the matter should be resolved before the NATO summit in Madrid on June 28 or before the Swedish Parliament election on Sept. 11. Sweden and Finland have been invited to attend the meeting in Spain.
After Monday's talks, Stoltenberg and Andersson went for a boat ride in the lake next to a Swedish government manor southwest of Stockholm.
On Sunday, Stoltenberg met with Finnish President Sauli Niinisto in Finland, saying that Turkey has “legitimate concerns” over terrorism and other issues that need to be taken seriously.

Emotional Kellie Harrington given Freedom of Dublin Award as Ireland’s Olympic gold medal hero hails ‘whirlwind’ year
KELLIE HARRINGTON was presented with the prestigious Freedom of Dublin award on Saturday night.
Ireland's Olympic gold medal hero was one of three women upon whom the honour was bestowed.
She was alongside Professor Mary Aiken and academic and prominent social justice activist Ailbhe Smyth in a ceremony at the Mansion House.
They were presented the award by the Lord Mayo of Dublin, Alison Gilliland.
To rubberstamp the occasion, the Portland Row-native signed her name on the the roll of honour upon being conferred with the Honorary Freedom of the City.
Always one who wears her heart on her sleeve, Harrington got visibly emotional when accepting the award.
It was fitting reward for a stunning 12 months for the boxing star, who wrote her name in history by winning a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games last year.
Speaking to Dublin Live afterwards, she welcomed the recognition, but claimed that marrying her partner, Mandy, was the undoubted highlight.
She said: "It’s been an absolute whirlwind and everything has come so fast. It’s just been something after something.
“The highlight of the year was marrying Mandy. Today was great, but marrying Mandy was one of the best times of my life.
Most read in Boxing
“Freedom of the City isn’t something that you’re getting put into your hand physically, but it’s an honour that you’re getting recognised for what you have done.
“Sporting achievements are great, but for the person who I am, that’s what I feel like I’m here for today."
Despite her well-earned celebrity, Harrington has previously insisted that, gold medal and all, she is not that much better off financially.
She previously revealed that she has struggled to afford a mortgage.
Instead, it is the love of the sport that keeps her going in boxing as she sets her sights on qualifying for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
She said: “In fairness it is why I do it, I’m not going to lie, it is for the love. I could never survive on the wages that I get because I only work every second weekend and if I was to try and survive on what I get paid every second weekend then I’d have to go back full time altogether.
"So I do still work and it is for the love and it is for the normality, to keep me grounded.”
ROLE MODELS
Both Kellie Harrington and Katie Taylor have been inspirational figures for Irish boxers.
Both Lisa O'Rourke and Amy Broadhurst cited the iconic duo as major influences on their careers after winning gold at the World Boxing Championships.
However, while 2012 Olympic gold medalist Taylor has reinforced her undeniable legacy as a professional as the undisputed lightweight champion, Harrington has remained committed to the amateurs.
Last November, she likened professional boxing to shark infested waters.
She said: "In amateur boxing, it’s about community, I think, and I’m not just saying that because of today and because of what today is, but I do feel that amateur boxing is about clubs about grassroots and community, and in those clubs you bond family.
"Professional, some are like sharks. They just get their teeth in and they just want what they want. There is no real love-loss.
"I haven’t been there so I don’t really know. From looking in, that’s what I feel, and from what I hear off people, as well, it is a business.
"It is a business and some people are out to make off you. They’re not really out for your welfare, they’re just out to line the pocket of themselves.
"At the moment, I’m in a sport, yeah, it’s also a profession, but if I was to turn professional, it would be a business and I ain’t no business woman."
HARRING-DUNNE
Harrington will embark on the road to Paris 2024 without her co-captain Bernard Dunne.
The former Olympian resigned from his position as High Performance Director with the IABA in April.
Bemoaning his departure, Harrington claimed that it was 'same s**t, different day.'
She told SunSport at the end of May: "I don't really have that much of a clue. I try not to get involved in all that - sure come here - it's been going on for years. It's basically the same sh**, different day.
"I do think it needs to be sorted out, once and for all but what I do feel is Bernard Dunne's position - it's such a pity now that Bernard is gone because he was absolutely FAN-tastic.
"He is needed there or somebody is needed in that position so the coaches can actually do their job, and coach the boxers.
"There's three staff - so Bernard and there was two other staff members on the high performance - they've gone. So, it's just the coaches there. We need someone to be put into that role ASAP." | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/boxing/8938136/kellie-harrington-freedom-dublin-olympic-gold-medal-whirlwind/ | 2022-06-13T15:25:07Z | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/boxing/8938136/kellie-harrington-freedom-dublin-olympic-gold-medal-whirlwind/ | true | 1 |

Ireland are guaranteed a play-off for the very least after Italy came from behind to draw 2-2 with Sweden.
Crawford's boys more than earned their spot, though, with four wins on the trot, including against Sweden twice and, most recently, Bosnia and Montenegro.
And the manager challenged his young team to keep the momentum going in Ascoli.
He said: "While I’m pleased to have a play-off spot secured, the job is far from over. We head to Italy with a chance to automatically qualify and that’s our focus.
“Italy are an excellent team and have shown that all campaign. They have our respect but I have great belief in our lads to go to Ascoli and get a result.
“The objective at the start of the campaign was to create history and that is now very much in our hands.” | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/8939278/what-tv-channel-italy-ireland-u21-euro-qualifier/ | 2022-06-13T15:26:55Z | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/8939278/what-tv-channel-italy-ireland-u21-euro-qualifier/ | false | 1 |

As Hard Rock Cafe concludes its 50th anniversary year, locations from London to Daytona are celebrating this key milestone
HOLLYWOOD, Fla., June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hard Rock International is commemorating its historic 50th anniversary year celebrating five decades of music, fun, good food and one-of-a-kind experiences at its 253 locations of Hotels, Casinos, Rock Shops®, Live Performance Venues and Cafes. The iconic brand was founded on the mottos – Love All-Serve All, Take Time To Be Kind, Save The Planet, and All Is One, and continues to embrace these mottos every day.
Since opening the doors of the first Hard Rock Cafe in London in 1971, Hard Rock International has established itself as one of the most globally recognized companies in the world and has expanded across 68 countries. Then in 2007, the perfect marriage occurred of two kindred spirits when the Seminole Tribe of Florida acquired the Hard Rock brand and is now poised to expand its horizon even further to all corners of the globe.
Before museums were opening showcases of music history, Hard Rock had been displaying artifacts for guests as a part of a collection that is now the largest in the world with over 86,000 pieces worldwide, and continuing to grow. The collection features authentic and unique artifacts celebrating all genres of music, from John Lennon's original hand-written song lyrics to "Imagine" to Madonna's "Like a Virgin" wedding dress and most recently added pieces from contemporary artists such as Billie Eilish and Maluma. With state-of-the-art venues bringing to life the best in live entertainment, Hard Rock International has been the backdrop to thousands of award-winning performances all over the globe from concerts to comedy shows. Hard Rock's expansive offerings from gaming, innovative dining and VIP experiences have embraced guests to live and sleep with a true rock star treatment.
"We're so excited to celebrate another year of Hard Rock history with all of our guests, employees and partners around the globe," said Jim Allen, Hard Rock International's Chairman and CEO of Seminole Gaming. "As we take the time to reflect on the last five decades of Hard Rock and our rich heritage with the Seminole Tribe of Florida, we're also celebrating the bright future Hard Rock has in store. We appreciate all of those who have supported us in the last 50 years, and to all who will in the years to come."
Within this 50-year milestone, Hard Rock has kept the celebrations going and was spotlighted as a feature cover story in Venues Now. They also received impressive awards including Forbes Best Employers, U.S. Best Managed Companies, World's Best Awards Survey, Employer of Choice by Casino Gaming Executive Satisfaction Survey and Gold and Silver Badges from U.S. News & World Report 2022.

Love Island’s VERY strict rules revealed after Michael Owen admits he doesn’t know them
LOVE Island has very strict rules around what Islanders can and can't do, as one famous fan reveals he's got no clue about them.
Legendary former striker, Michael Owen’s 19-year-old daughter Gemma entered the Majorcan villa last week, which he has described as a “nightmare”.
But the football pundit might be pleased to know his daughter and the blokes trying to get her attention have strict rules they must followe.
If they fail to follow the rules for any reason they face severe punishment.
This list of no-nos includes no smoking inside the house, pool or garden, no nudity, no masturbating, no unsafe sex, and each star must be in possession of the complete rule book at all times.
The Love Island producers are really strict on practising safe sex and reportedly have left 200 packets of condoms around the villa.
The islanders are also offered STI tests before entering the villa to ensure they're STI-free.
They will also be offered counselling after sex if they want it.
The Islanders aren't allowed to be fully naked in front of each other and there's a ban on masturbation.
Even in the shower cast members are not supposed to be completely nude.
This is apparently because the villa is a public place and stripping off in public is not OK.
Even though masturbation is on the Love Island black list, producers have provided sex toys, lubrication and even raunchy outfits for couples to use in the Hideaway if they win the chance to spend a night there.
Most read in TV
Following a huge wave of complaints surrounding the constant smoking in the villa after the series in 2017, ITV producers cracked down ahead of season four in 2018.
Bosses installed a ban on smoking fags inside the villa, with those wishing to light up having to exit the house and go to a designated smoking area.
Only one islander is able to head to the smoking shelter at a time, in a bid to stop so many of the contestants taking up a smoking habit due to the social element.
The Islanders also have to follow strict rules around alcohol and are not allowed to get drunk.
While they are given alcoholic drinks on some occasions, producers cap the amount of drinks each Islander can have in one session.
Former contestant Andrea-Jane told CapitalFM that “it is a two-drink limit."
"And usually, you get your first drink and then you have to wait around three hours until the second one.
“It is quite a long wait until you get your second drink, so you’re savouring each sip. You definitely can’t get drunk in there.”
The sexy singletons also have to follow strict rules of conduct which includes a ban on fighting, sexual harassment and using racial slurs.
They are also under strict rules to respect the entire crew of the ITV2 reality show, including host Laura Whitmore and her voice over husband, Iain Stirling.
They are also completely cut off from the outside world and are not allowed access to phones, newspapers, magazines or books.
We're used to hearing the now-iconic "I've got a text!" But obviously the phones in the villa aren't the islanders' own.
Former Islander Liana Isadora Van-Riel said: "You're completely cut off.
"They give you these basic little phones where you can text each other but nobody really uses them, they're only really there for the whole 'I've got a text' aspect."
The Islanders are also encouraged to use their little make-do phones to take pictures inside the villa, to catch moments the camera normally wouldn't.
One high profile Love Island viewer, former England footballer Michael Owen, revealed he was baffled by the show's rules.
The legendary former striker’s 19-year-old daughter Gemma entered the Majorcan villa last week, which he has described as a “nightmare”.
He revealed he was surprised to see Gemma sharing a bed with 27-year-old Davide on the show and had to ask wife Louise what was going on.
"I said to Louise, 'do they really have to sleep together, like in the same bed?'. She said 'yes'. I said 'I did not bank on this'," he told the Daily Mail.
"Luckily for me, there was no physical contact. Gemma had her back to the guy.
"There was space between them. I thought, 'Good girl'. No father wants to see physical contact, do they? I certainly don’t.
"If there is physical contact I think I’ll be throwing something at the screen. I don’t want to see kissing. Do not make me see kissing."

ZANU PF supporters allegedly ran amock at CCC activist Moreblessing Ali’s funeral wake Monday, abducting at least 20 opposition members and chasing her relatives away after hijacking proceedings.
Information gathered by a NewZimbabwe.com team which visited the Ali home revealed there were clashes early Monday morning as suspected Zanu PF thugs violently took over proceedings at the funeral.
The Ali homestead was dead silent, with no mourning or singing as is the norm at Zimbabwean funerals.
Women gathered in small groups, murmuring in hushed voices, while a few men stood by the roadside, very close to the home.
Family lawyer Job Sikhala said Ali’s family members been chased away.
“The family is currently at my office, they have all been chased away from their home by Zanu PF thugs,” said Sikhala.
Opposition CCC confirmed on Twitter, abduction of the 20 women. | https://www.newzimbabwe.com/breaking-drama-as-zanu-pf-thugs-abduct-20-chamisa-supporters-at-moreblessing-ali-funeral-chase-relatives-away/ | 2022-06-13T15:31:24Z | https://www.newzimbabwe.com/breaking-drama-as-zanu-pf-thugs-abduct-20-chamisa-supporters-at-moreblessing-ali-funeral-chase-relatives-away/ | true | 1 |

Jakarta. Nestlé Indonesia, the local arm of Swiss multinational foods and beverages giant, unveiled a new $25.2 million investment in a new green manufacturing facility for Milo chocolate malt beverage last week.
The new facility highlighted Nestlé Indonesia's effort to help Indonesia achieve its net-zero emissions target by 2050 while eliminating the country's 271 million people's dependence on imports for the beverage.
"Our current focus is on our commitment to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 even as the company continues to grow," Ganesan Ampalavanar, the president director of Nestlé Indonesia, said over the weekend.
Last Tuesday, the company inaugurated new facilities in its Karawang, West Java plant. The facilities cost Rp 368 billion ($25.2 million) in investment for additional installations of the vacuum band dryer (VBD 2) process machine and a biomass boiler.
The dryer allowed Nestlé Indonesia to increase Milo's domestic production and meet 100 percent of the local demand for the beverage.
"This investment through VBD 2 is estimated to double Nestlé Milo's production capacity per year. So in the future, the increase in production capacity is expected to encourage Nestlé Indonesia to become an export market for other countries, as well as to have a long-term positive impact on the Indonesian economy," Ganesan said in a separate statement.
On the other hand, the boiler utilizes the 8,880 metric tons of rice husks per year from the surrounding area to create steam, replacing the liquified petroleum gas (LPG). The company developed the boiler in collaboration with Tasma Bioenergy or Berkeley Energy Commercial Industry Services (BECIS).
Nestlé Indonesia estimated the biomass boiler could reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 6,068 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per year and energy costs by 14 percent. The company distributed back the ashes from the boiler combustion to farmers to use as fertilizers.
Ganesan said Nestlé Indonesia strengthened this commitment toward Net Zero emissions by 2050.
"We will also focus on supporting farmers and suppliers to develop regenerative agriculture, planting hundreds of millions of trees over the next ten years and completing the transition to using 100% renewable electricity by 2025," he said.
The Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Minister of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises Teten Masduki, and Karawang District Head Cellica Nurrachadiana, attended Tuesday's inauguration event.
Luhut said he appreciated Nestlé's initiative in expanding investment in Indonesia. "The government continues to encourage the public as well as the business and industrial sectors to strengthen domestic production further to further increase Indonesia's economic growth, especially after the pandemic," he said.
Teten praised the company's renewable energy initiative. "[T]he development and construction of a biomass boiler, moving toward a more renewable energy is a good step, especially since Karawang is indeed a rice producer so that the use of rice waste will also increase income for the welfare of farmers," he said.
Indonesia has set a target to reach net-zero emissions by 2060. According to BP Statistical Review 2021, Indonesia emits about 575 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in 2020, down 7.4 percent from a year earlier. | https://jakartaglobe.id/business/nestl-cuts-its-greenhouse-gas-emission-in-indonesia | 2022-06-13T15:33:50Z | https://jakartaglobe.id/business/nestl-cuts-its-greenhouse-gas-emission-in-indonesia | true | 1 |
Plant Power Fast Food reveals unprecedented low prices for healthier, more earth-friendly, plant-based burgers and announces major partnership with Alpha Foods.
SAN DIEGO, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Plant Power Fast Food, the country's leading 100% plant-based fast food restaurant chain has announced new low priced menu items and a new proprietary pea-protein burger patty.
According to Plant Power Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Harris, the addition of a new low cost "Classic Burger" line moves the company closer to their price parity goal with traditional fast food chains. States Harris, "The launch of these new hamburgers and cheeseburgers at $4.95 and $5.95 respectively is a tremendous step towards achieving this goal."
Going head-to-head on price, Plant Power Fast Food offers lower cost vegan burger options than Burger King, for example, who sells their Impossible Burger for $7.99. In addition, Plant Power is now within $1-$2 for similar sized animal meat burgers at major fast food chains like McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King. While there are many reasons vegan meat is more expensive, that gap is narrowing as vegan/plant-based manufacturers are meeting demand by scaling up production.
Plant Power Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Zach Vouga, spoke about how lower price points would expand accessibility to the growing number of consumers interested in exploring plant-based options. States Vouga, "One of the core criticisms of plant-based food is that it is expensive, our goal is to remove that barrier and make plant-based fast food an easy choice."
The company also announced its new proprietary GMO and gluten-free pea-protein burger patty. According to Vouga this new development has been years in the making, "We have spent nearly two years collaborating with Alpha Foods' R&D to painstakingly perfect the new juicy, smoky and wildly delicious burger patty and we are thrilled with the results."
Based in San Diego, the Company now has 11 locations and a food truck. According to a company spokesperson the company expects to have 15 restaurants in operation by the beginning of 2023.
Headquartered in San Diego, California, The Plant Power Restaurant Group, LLC ("Plant Power", "the Company") is a privately held company that is on the cutting edge of plant-based fast food with a goal of driving a convenient, healthier option without sacrificing taste and satisfaction. Plant Power Fast Food is a 100% vegan fast food chain that offers a wide range of menu items—from burgers, fries, shakes to salads, fresh juices, plus a children's menu and an abundant breakfast menu. Remaining consistent to its earth-friendly pledge, much of the furnishings and décor is sustainable, i.e., tables and chairs are constructed from renewable bamboo, additionally, all cutlery is compostable (as is the majority of their take-out packaging).

A video of a group of worshippers stopped from gaining entrance into a church for not owning a permanent voter’s card ahead of the 2023 general elections has surfaced on social media.
The 2023 general elections are fast approaching, and some leaders are coming up with strategic ways to get their followers involved in the voting process.
The video that has surfaced on social media, captured the moment a yet-to-be-identified Parish priest was seen telling members who do not have PVCs, not to enter the church auditorium.
However, members with their permanent voter’s cards were allowed into the churches to worship.

I and many others had high hopes for Virgin Galactic (NYSE: SPCE), a company that offers tourist flights to near space. But one of the most exciting stocks to recently go public has failed to live up to expectations, leaving investors with a 53% decline so far this year. Can management turn the ship around, or is its business model fundamentally broken? Let's dig deeper.
A potentially massive market
If there is one thing the space industry has, it's potential. According to Citigroup, the revenue opportunity could expand from $424 billion in 2020 to $1 trillion by 2040. And while this growth will be heavily slanted toward existing industries such as satellite manufacturing and launch services, analysts expect combined revenue in brand-new industries, such as space tourism, to rise from zero to $101 billion over the period.
Virgin Galactic focuses on space tourism. But its suborbital flight technology could also make it an early leader in hypersonic point-to-point travel. This technology involves flying at least five times as fast as the speed of sound at high altitudes and could generate up to $800 billion in annual sales by 2040, according to Morgan Stanley analyst Nick Jonas.
But projections should be taken with a grain of salt. And investors shouldn't fixate on Virgin Galactic's potential when its actual operating results paint a significantly different picture.
A cash-burning business
Virgin Galactic's business is far from self-sustaining right now. While first-quarter revenue jumped from zero to $319,000 year over year, that was from transporting research payloads and providing engineering services, not commercial space tourism. Furthermore, the company's net loss expanded from $81,277 to $91,392 because of an increase in research and development costs as it conducts intensive testing to make sure its platform is ready to safely transport paying customers.
Despite successfully transporting its founder, Sir Richard Branson, to space and back, Virgin Galactic keeps kicking the can down the road when it comes to starting regular operations. Most recently, the company pushed the timing of its first commercial flight from late 2022 to the first quarter of 2023 because of supply chain and labor constraints. The delays could expose Virgin Galactic to challenges from rising interest rates and a possible recession, which could erode demand for its $450,000 space flight tickets.
Competition is mounting
As Virgin Galactic crawls toward commercial operations, rivals are beating it to the punch. On June 4, Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, a private company also operating in the space tourism vertical, sent six people into suborbital flight -- its fifth human mission. And this trip follows an earlier flight in March that included five paying customers and one employee.
Blue Origin's success erodes the first-mover advantage Virgin Galactic could have gained from pioneering a brand-new industry and could position Bezos' company as a more trusted space tourism operator. Reputation could be critical to both pricing power and attracting customers in this nascent and potentially risky industry.
Is there anything to like here?
While Virgin Galactic faces cash burn, delayed operations, and competition, the stock isn't completely hopeless. With $1.2 billion in cash and liquid securities, it has enough runway to sustain its losses until commercial operations start -- assuming there are no more delays and costs don't increase dramatically.
Furthermore, with a market cap of just $1.7 billion, the company looks relatively cheap compared with the long-term potential analysts see in both space tourism and hypersonic travel. While Virgin Galactic stock doesn't look very appealing right now, it could be worth a closer look if management takes convincing steps to resolve its current challenges.

New Models Combine Exceptional Components with Easy Downloads and Streaming for a
Superior Listening Experience
SAN DIEGO, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Electronics Inc. today introduced two new premium music players, the NW-WM1ZM2 and NW-WM1AM2, raising the bar to new heights in high-resolution audio listening, to satisfy the most demanding audiophiles.
Designed to immerse the listener in sublime, nuanced sound, the NW-WM1ZM2 has been fine-tuned from years of audio mastery and crafted from the very best materials. This new addition sets a new benchmark for Sony's award-winning signature series, offering an exquisite listening experience in an ultra-premium design.
The NW-WM1AM2 allows music lovers to completely lose themselves in high-quality audio with a richer, smoother and more expansive sound field compared to its predecessor.
Both music players let the user download and stream from endless catalogues of music with Wi-Fi compatibility, taking the listening enjoyment to the next level.
Extraordinary sound begins with exceptional components
Throughout the history of Sony's premium range music players, audio mastery has been accomplished through a combination of meticulous assembly of exceptional components. The NW-WM1ZM2 and NW-WM1AM2 are products of this philosophy.
Purer materials for a purer sound
The NW-WM1ZM2 has a 99.99% purity (4N) Gold-plated Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Chassis. This realizes a stronger digital ground and higher rigidity, enabling clear, expansive sound, so the listener can experience each instrument as if it were performing live.
The NW-WM1AM2 uses an aluminum alloy frame which provides a highly rigid case that's resistive to electrical noise and other interference creating a stable, high-quality sound.
Revel in authentic sound reproduction
With the use of S-Master™ HX digital amp technology, independently developed for Walkman®, the NW-WM1ZM2 and NW-WM1AM2 deliver a stunningly faithful sound reproduction. The full digital amplifier further creates a rich and full-bodied sound, with the help of a high-quality lead-free solder.
Taking inspiration from the ground-breaking DMP-Z1, both music players feature an even stronger power supply than their predecessor models, both in the analog and digital block.
The NW-WM1ZM2 and NW-WM1AM2 have upgraded fine-tuned capacitors – various FT CAP3 capacitors (High-polymer Capacitor) and a large solid high polymer capacitor which offers large capacitance and low resistance. An OFC-milled block covering the digital block allows both music players to deliver sound that appears to rise up from silence.
Perfect Signal Integrity
To achieve a powerful and smooth sound quality, Sony has selected a thick KIMBER KABLE® to run from the amp base to the balanced headphone jack on the NW-WM1ZM2, much like the renowned DMP-Z1. This carefully selected component helps transmit high quality audio signals, leaving just the music.
The NW-WM1AM2 uses a low-resistance OFC cable which offers low distortion and superior channel separation.
To realize both music players evolutionary sound, a dual clock and fine sound register have been precisely placed within each Walkman. For the first time, Sony has begun using a reflow solder containing gold, whose effect is significant in the overall improved sound localization and wider sound space.
Get the most out of music, whatever the source
The NW-WM1ZM2 and NW-WM1AM2 both integrate a DSD Remastering Engine where PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) audio is resampled into an 11.2 MHz DSD (Direct Stream Digital), providing even more ways to enjoy music.
With the NW-WM1ZM2 and NW-WM1AM2 listeners can also inject more life into their music by upscaling compressed music files in real time with DSEE Ultimate™. This evolving algorithm now offers even more benefits for CD-quality (16 bit 44.1/48kHz) lossless audio. By restoring acoustic subtleties and dynamic range, the user experiences a richer, more complete listening experience.
Hear every note as the artist intended
Both Walkmans are also compatible with Balanced Connection and High-Resolution Audio, allowing listeners to experience their favorite tracks, just how the artist intended.
Music on the Move
The NW-WM1ZM2 and NW-WM1AM2 are Wi-Fi compatible and powered by Android™ 11, giving access to a vast collection of genres and artists, from all around the world. Consumers can choose to either listen from their favorite music streaming and download services or connect to a PC to download tracks and playlists from personal collections, ensuring high quality sound playback.
All new optimized usability
With a larger 5.0" (12.7cm) display, both music players introduce a new smooth and responsive touchscreen that has been upgraded to HD (High Definition), optimizing the user experience. Consumers can also personalize their home display on the Walkman Home Screen to suit individual needs, making each Walkman truly unique.
To ensure listeners can immerse themselves in the music wherever they are, both premium models deliver up to 40 hours[1] of non-stop 96kHz FLAC High-Resolution Audio playback.
A USB Type-C® port features on both models, offering fast music file transfer and easy connectivity with a range of devices[2].
The NW-WM1ZM2 offers 256GB of integrated memory and a microSD card slot, while the NW-WM1AM2 offers 128GB of integrated memory and a microSD card slot, allowing listeners to take even the biggest music collections, wherever they go.[3]
Sustainability matters
Sony's products are not only designed to be stylish, but also with the environment in mind. Zero plastic[4] is used in the packaging material for the NW-WM1ZM2 and NW-WM1AM2, reflecting Sony's commitment to reducing the impact of our products and practices.

A WOMEN’S health expert has revealed several ways you could be peeing wrong.
Dr Teresa Irwin, from the US, nicknamed herself the "vaginacologist" due to her expertise in female pelvic dysfunctions.
She used to be a surgeon for severe bladder and vaginal dysfunctions before she realised she could educate women on preventing them in the first place.
The doctor has 84,000 followers on TikTok (@dr.teresa.irwin) and her recent video has racked up 671,000 views and 122,000 likes.
In the clip, Dr Irwin can be seen dancing with her god daughter Isabel Herrera, while the tips for vaginal health come up on the screen.
She urges women to drink enough water, avoid scented products, ensure to empty the bladder fully and do pelvic floor muscle exercises regularly.
When it comes to bladder health, Dr Irwin reveals how women can prevent any issues that can become debilitating.
How you're peeing wrong
1. Peeing sitting upright
According to Dr Irwin, there is a right and wrong way to pee.
"Many women are taught to pee by sitting straight up on the toilet, which causes some of the urine to stay in the bladder,” she said.
"The most popular position to prevent this issue I call the cowboy position.
"You simply lean forward to put your elbows above your kneecaps (making sure to keep your feet level on the ground."
2. Delaying going, or going to often
Dr Irwin said don’t put off going on toilet breaks.
"If you wait too long to go to the restroom, you can unintentionally train your brain to ignore the bladder signals that help you know when you need to go,” she said.
In the same vein, going to the toilet too often - when you don’t really have an urge to go yet - can slowly make the bladder weaker.
“A healthy amount for a woman to pee is about four to seven times per day,” Dr Irwin said.
3. Rushing it
Dr Irwin also says to take a full minute to pee.
She said: "A minute may not seem like a long time but when I tell people to do this, it can seem like an eternity, but it’s not!
"Many women do not take the time to fully empty their bladder, when you feel in a rush to pee it can cause you to have a forceful stream which will put pressure on the surrounding muscles."
Protect your bladder health
Dr Irwin shared three other tips for priming pevlic health, all of which can prevent or improve bladder disorders.
Don’t irritate the bladder
Dr Irwin says to “avoid bladder irritants”. This would be particularly useful for those who have bladder issues such as not emptying properly.
Dr Irwin said: “Coffee, carbonated beverages, artificial sweeteners, and alcohol are known culprits of irritating your bladder, so, one easy behavioural change is to limit your consumption of bladder irritants!
"I’m not saying that you have to get rid of all of these drinks, I still drink my morning coffee, but the key is moderation and balancing with hydration.”

Keep up the kegels
As a woman, you’ve likely heard about the importance of exercising the pelvic floor muscles, also called Kegel exercises.
Dr Irwin said: "I know that you have probably all heard the advice to 'do your kegels', but why?
"Your pelvic floor muscles line the interior of your pelvic bone; they act as a net to keep your reproductive and elimination organs in place.
"When the pelvic floor becomes weak, it can no longer hold those organs in place and it can lead to prolapse and other dysfunctions.”
Vaginal prolapse is when the vagina drops from its normal location in the body, and pelvic organ prolapse is when one or more of the organs in the pelvis slip down and bulge into the vagina.
"Hypopressives will also help, this is an uncommon but highly effective technique to strengthen the pelvic floor,” Dr Irwin said.
"It is a breathing exercise that helps strengthen your core to relieve pressure on your pelvic floor by learning to lift and support the weight of the organs through the supporting muscles."
Squeeze when you sneeze
Dr Irwin’s final tip is to “squeeze when you sneeze”.
It “creates a contraction to counteract the pressure, strengthening your pelvic floor”, she said.
Some women may leak a little when they sneeze - or cough, laugh, run or lift something heavy.
This is known as stress incontinence, and occurs when there is additional pressure in the abdominal area, and the pelvic floor muscles are not strong enough to keep urine in.
To prevent this from occurring, the trick is to keep the pelvic floor muscles strong. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/18871766/three-ways-peeing-wrong-why-do-cowboy/ | 2022-06-13T15:40:12Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/18871766/three-ways-peeing-wrong-why-do-cowboy/ | true | 4 |
MILWAUKEE, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Recovery and treatment is a deeply personal journey. In supporting this journey, the team at Windrose Recovery has a common goal: to create an authentic, more personalized approach to residential treatment with the highest level of clinical expertise. Independently owned with programs in Southeastern Wisconsin and Chicago, the organization's collaborative approach to addiction treatment began in 2015 with the opening of The Manor and has since expanded to offer three additional programs. Windrose Recovery's full continuum of care spans from medical detoxification and assessment to outpatient and residential treatment services.
Personalized treatment in a safe environment is at the very heart of everything that Windrose Recovery does. "The mission behind our programs begins with creating a treatment experience that we would actually want to experience ourselves," says Dr. Chantelle Thomas, Executive Clinical Director of Windrose Recovery.
As a part of that goal, Windrose Recovery carefully considers every detail of its programs and facilities, which includes serene campuses, private rooms, spacious beds outfitted with cozy sheets and pillows, savory cuisine, wellness amenities, and more.
"Across our organization, it is extremely important to us that we provide the highest level of expertise and service when someone is in a state of need and vulnerability. One of the questions we ask ourselves is how can we enhance this person's safety and comfort so they can do what's necessary to heal?" adds Dr. Thomas. "Everything we do has to be invitational. For example, instead of asking how to get through a wall, we will start by asking the person to tell us about the wall and how we can make it safer for them. Those relationships need to be authentic and feel safe for people in order to do the necessary work. Every intervention we have is useless if we don't understand the person. We work really hard to ensure that the individuals in our programs are genuinely seen and understood, which begins by helping them feel safe and asking the right questions."
Windrose Recovery began with the opening of The Manor. Located in the rolling hills of Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine Forest, the program provides personalized residential treatment for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health concerns with a focus on trauma. The program provides fully integrated, holistic treatment that looks at each individual as a whole to promote deep emotional change. The expert team guides each client to find their true self and discover the tools they need to live a fulfilling life of lasting sobriety.
"The Manor is the birthplace of Windrose Recovery's philosophies. We have come to appreciate that the ways that people feel stuck are incredibly sophisticated. Our high-level clinicians really pay attention to what those stuck processes are for each individual. We are able to approach those barriers and challenges with a level of respect in that someone is really trying to understand them and get to know them," says Dr. Thomas. "But, it's not just happening with one clinician. We have a whole team spending individual time with each client. Learning about a person's heart, spirit, and psyche requires time and you can't get that once a week. Our clients get at least six hours of individual therapy each week. The goal is that the person is being comprehensively supported and treated 360°. It's not just one tool that reaches people, it's a full-court press we need to use from multiple domains in order to tackle something that has evaded relief across someone's life."
Windrose Recovery offers four programs in total:
- The Manor is an 11-bed residential program that provides personalized, trauma-focused treatment for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health. Clients reside within two spacious homes set on tranquil, spacious grounds, each receiving their own private room and ensuite bathroom. Here, clients are provided individual therapy sessions and group therapy as well as a focus on health and wellness.
- Midwest Detox is located in a state-of-the-art facility in suburban Brookfield, just outside Milwaukee, Wisconsin. With a focus on providing the highest level of comfort, safety, and respect throughout a person's stabilization experience, the program ensures privacy and dignity by providing every client a private room and full ensuite bathroom along with an expert team of doctors, nurses, and clinicians that are specially trained to anticipate medical, physical, and psychological needs throughout each stage of stabilization.
- Windrose Counseling, also located in Brookfield, Wisconsin, offers comprehensive, personalized outpatient treatment for substance dependence that addresses every aspect of each individual's journey. Windrose Counseling offers an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) which implements holistic, evidence-based treatment uniquely tailored to each individual to address their needs and create healthy and fulfilling lives.
- Positive Sobriety Institute (PSI) addresses the full spectrum of recovery needs for professionals and individuals in a safe, discreet, and supportive environment in Chicago, Illinois. Overlooking Michigan Avenue, the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) specialize in providing tailored treatment to healthcare professionals and executives in high-stress, high-accountability roles, as well as individuals looking for a personalized treatment experience. PSI also offers centrally located apartments just a short walk from the treatment space for clients in need of local accommodations.
In expanding its commitment to reach people when they need help the most, Windrose Recovery is an Elite Care Center with the Hall of Fame Health (HOFH). The team at Windrose Recovery is looking forward to contributing and supporting the HOFH mission by offering highly individualized treatment and trauma work in a way that genuinely focuses on the individual and is coupled with a high standard of quality care.
"Athletes are so connected to their body in many ways. They rely on their bodies to function and operate and so an intuitive understanding is that the body really matters," adds Dr. Thomas. "At Windrose Recovery, we are paying attention to the physiological part of trauma and not just the spoken part. It's important to acknowledge how people experience trauma in their bodies. We want people to feel safe in their bodies both physically and emotionally. What a privilege it is to be able to go behind that and offer relief where no one would expect it's needed."
"We are proud to welcome Windrose Recovery as an Elite Care Center," says Ryan Cain, President of the behavioral health program for Hall of Fame Health. "The organization's programs get to the heart and spirit of each individual while aiming to provide a superior safe space to foster the potential for deep healing. Their programs and philosophies are both inspiring and uplifting to everyone involved."
"At the end of the day, treatment should feel like healing. That's what we hope for everyone because if it feels like healing it should also feel like relief. Not to say the work isn't hard but if we're doing it right, it should feel like healing," says Dr. Thomas.
The HOFH Elite Care Centers is a network of elite facilities across the country that specialize in mental health and substance use disorders. Each treatment center is vetted and accredited to provide high-quality, customized care to former players and their families, veterans, and beyond. Financial aid options are available through Fund Recovery, which serves athletes, veterans, their families, and others seeking assistance for mental health or addiction issues.

KT Tunstall in Studio on World Cafe - 02/02/2006
Scottish singer KT Tunstall writes songs that sound both earthy and quirky, with dynamic live performances and an emotional connectedness that distinguishes her from other singer/songwriters.
Listen
Her best-selling album Eye to the Telescope creates a uniquely personal atmosphere that puts listeners at ease -- and, when necessary, on edge. Tunstall says the CD's title stems from the sky-watching she did as a child with her physicist father.
Tunstall's upbringing can be heard in her music, as well, in everything from the piano lessons she took to her older brother's love of goth metal to living in the area that spawned the Fence Collective and the Beta Band.
This interview originally aired on Feb. 2, 2006.

When will Erling Haaland make his Man City debut? Pre-season & Premier League bows for £51m striker
Manchester City have been in the market for a new No.9 since seeing club-record goalscorer Sergio Aguero depart in the summer of 2021 and, after failing to prise Harry Kane away from Tottenham, have finally settled on Norwegian frontman Erling Haaland.
The reigning Premier League champions have splashed out £51 million ($63m) on the talented 21-year-old, who hit 86 goals through 89 appearances for Borussia Dortmund and is following in the footsteps of his father Alf Inge by joining Blues at the Etihad Stadium.
It is expected that Haaland will prove to be another destructive attacking weapon at Pep Guardiola’s disposal, given his track record for club and country, but who will he make his City bow against? GOAL takes a look…
Editors' Picks
When will Erling Haaland make his Man City debut?
The Blues are in the process of finalising their pre-season plans, with many players away on international duty or taking in well-earned summer breaks on the back of another title-winning campaign in 2021-21.
As things stand, Guardiola’s men have only three friendly dates pencilled into their calendar.
The first of those will see them face Mexican side Club America at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas on July 20.
If no domestic dates are taken in before then, with a return to training set to be made in early July, then Haaland could take in his first appearance for new employers on American soil.
Who will Erling Haaland make his Premier League debut for Man City against?
The plan for City and Haaland will be to get their elaborate new recruit up to speed before competitive action resumes.
As defending Premier League champions, the Blues will finish their pre-season schedule with a Community Shield date with Liverpool at the King Power Stadium in Leicester on July 30.
That contest will present Haaland with an opportunity to get his hands on a first trophy in English football, before the real business of collecting Premier League points begins a week later.
City will be expected to unleash their big-money frontman on top-flight rivals from the opening weekend, with the Norway international charged with the task of leading their line.
Guardiola’s men will discover who they are set to face first out of the blocks when the 2022-23 Premier League fixture list is announced on Thursday June 16 at 9am BST. | https://www.goal.com/en-om/news/when-erling-haaland-man-city-debut-pre-season-premier-league/blt10baaa8bddca2399 | 2022-06-13T15:42:48Z | https://www.goal.com/en-om/news/when-erling-haaland-man-city-debut-pre-season-premier-league/blt10baaa8bddca2399 | false | 10 |
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
Over the last decade, Chan Marshall has made a name for herself in the Indie-Rock world, recording under the name Cat Power. For her latest album, she went to Memphis, where she recorded with some of the architects of that city's legendary soul music. Critic Tom Moon has a review of The Greatest.
TOM MOON reporting:
Here's a Cat Power song from a few years back.
(Soundbite of Cat Power music)
MOON: And here's one from her latest CD. With apologies to Ray Charles, it might be called Cat Power plus soul equals breakthrough.
(Soundbite of Cat Power music)
MOON: For this disc, Cat Power sought help from some of the secret weapons of Memphis music. Among them is the guitarist Mabon Teenie Hodges and his base playing brother, Leroy Flick Hodges. They backed Al Green on such classics as Let's Stay Together, and Ann Peebles on her hit, I Can't Stand the Rain. They give Cat Powers downcast odes about romantic despair a firm anchor.
(Soundbite of Cat Power music)
MOON: You can tell these musicians are inspired by Cat Power's halting, torn apart delivery. Check out the title track, called The Greatest, which tells of a young man's desire to be a prize fighter. The musicians creep along, measure by precious measure. They're seeking tiny, almost transparent ways to move the story forward.
(Soundbite of Cat Power music)
MOON: Cat Power's The Greatest doesn't clobber you with greatness right away. It gets under your skin slowly. Different facets emerge with each spin. It's soul all right, but not the blazing horns and whiplash rhythm guitars we associate with Memphis in the 1960's. No, this is soul as an idea, a way of making music that stretches across generations and genre distinctions, and turns out to be powerful enough to transform her ramblings into something totally mesmerizing.
(Soundbite of Cat Power music)
NORRIS: The new album from Cat Power is called The Greatest. Our reviewer is Tom Moon.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s vice chancellor is proposing new powers for the country’s antitrust agency to clamp down on oil companies amid disappointment over the limited effect of a cut in fuel taxes.
A three-month cut took effect on June 1 as part of a wider package of measures aimed at blunting the financial fallout from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which also includes cheap tickets for local public transport. But there have been widespread complaints that prices at the pump have crept back up substantially after initially falling.
Industry representatives insist that the tax reduction is being passed on to consumers but that they face pressure from rising prices. Many politicians, facing charges that the plan is an expensive flop, accuse oil companies of using the tax cut to line their pockets.
Leading politicians in Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s center-left Social Democrats and the Greens have called for a tax on what they call “excessive profits” earned by oil companies since the war pushed up prices. But the third partner in the coalition government, the pro-business Free Democrats of Finance Minister Christian Lindner, have vehemently rejected that idea.
Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, who is also the economy minister and responsible for energy, responded with a proposal to beef up the powers of the Federal Cartel Office.
“Taxing excessive profits doesn’t seem to be capable of winning a majority in the coalition,” he told Deutschlandfunk radio on Monday. “My proposal now is that we change cartel law, we draw up a cartel law with claws and teeth.”
The idea is to give the antitrust authority powers to look into companies’ books and lower the threshold for possible punishment. Habeck also proposes enabling the “unbundling,” essentially a break-up, of companies.
Setting out the plan on Sunday, Habeck acknowledged that the plan won’t help in the current situation but said it would help in the future. | https://www.wnct.com/news/business/ap-business/germany-eyes-new-cartel-law-as-fuel-tax-cut-falls-short/ | 2022-06-13T15:45:16Z | https://www.wnct.com/news/business/ap-business/germany-eyes-new-cartel-law-as-fuel-tax-cut-falls-short/ | true | 35 |

Man Utd could move to ex-Chelsea star Tammy Abraham from Roma as transfer replacement for Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez
MANCHESTER UNITED could make a shock swoop for Roma striker Tammy Abraham after missing out on signing Darwin Nunez, according to reports.
The Red Devils were prepared to hijack Liverpool's bid for Nunez, 22, however, it was claimed that the striker preferred the idea of a move to Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp's side have now reached an agreement with Benfica for Nunez who will become the club's most expensive signing at £85million.
He is expected to sign a six-year deal with the Reds worth £120,000-a-week.
Man Utd fans and officials have been left disappointed by the development, and are expected to turn their attentions to alternative options.
And according to football journalist Alex Crook, they could consider an offer for ex-Chelsea star Tammy Abraham.
When speaking on the TalkSport GameDay podcast, he said: "I’ve just got a suspicion they might try and get Tammy Abraham out of Roma.
"He was someone that I think they looked at in January.
"As I’ve mentioned, we interviewed Tammy on Darren Bent’s Boot Room and he seemed very settled in Italy but Roma aren’t in the Champions League and nor are Manchester United.
"I think eventually he will want to come back to the Premier League. The question again is: Are Manchester United an attractive enough proposition for him?"

Abraham joined Roma from Chelsea last summer for a transfer fee of £34million.
During his first season in Italy he scored 26 goals in 52 appearances across all competitions.
He also played a vital role in helping the Yellow and Reds to the Europa Conference League title.
But while the 24-year-old appears to be settled in Italy, Roma boss Jose Mourinho has given him the green light to return to England whenever he wishes.
He has previously been linked with a move to Arsenal, but the Gunners have now made Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus a priority signing.
New Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag is said to be on the hunt for a new striker to replace Edinson Cavani, who will leave Old Trafford when his contract expires at the end of this month.
The Dutchman is looking to completely revamp the current United squad so Abraham, who is in prolific goalscoring form, could prove to be the perfect addition. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18868131/man-utd-tammy-abraham-roma-transfer-replacement-darwin-nunez/ | 2022-06-13T15:47:13Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18868131/man-utd-tammy-abraham-roma-transfer-replacement-darwin-nunez/ | true | 4 |

Disgraced lawyer Avenatti says he wants to plead guilty to California charges
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Incarcerated lawyer Michael Avenatti says he plans to plead guilty to charges in a federal court case in Southern California accusing him of cheating clients out of millions of dollars.
Avenatti didn’t specify which charges he wants to plead to in a brief court filing Sunday. He said he hasn’t reached a deal with federal prosecutors but wants to change his plea “in order to be accountable; accept responsibility; avoid his former clients being further burdened; save the Court and the government significant resources; and save his family further embarrassment.”
Federal prosecutors have accused Avenatti of cheating clients out of nearly $10 million by negotiating and collecting settlement payments on their behalf and funneling the money to accounts he controlled. The case is scheduled for trial in July after a mistrial last year when federal prosecutors failed to turn over relevant financial evidence to Avenatti, who has represented himself in the California case with assistance from advisory counsel.
Avenatti, who is suspended from practicing law in California, pleaded not guilty to wire fraud in connection with the allegations spanning from 2015 to 2019, as well as charges including bankruptcy and tax fraud.
A message seeking comment was left for the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles.
Avenatti was sentenced this month to four years in prison for stealing book proceeds from Stormy Daniels, the porn actor who catapulted him to fame as he represented her in courtrooms and cable news programs during her legal battles with then-President Donald Trump.
The sentence means Avenatti will spend another 2 1/2 years in prison on top of the 2 1/2 years he is already serving after another conviction for trying to extort Nike if the shoemaker didn’t pay him up to $25 million.

Love Island spoiler: Second Islander in shock exit after savage recoupling twist – and they’ve already left the villa
LOVE Island is saying goodbye to another of its stars - with the dramatic exit being shown on TV tomorrow night.
The Sun can reveal one Islander has been dumped from the villa in another quickfire exit.
They will leave in the wake of the shock departure of Liam Llewellyn, who decided to quit Love Island.
The Welsh student's voluntary exit meant that the two girls left single after the first recoupling - Paige Thorne and Afia Tonkmore - were spared being put in the firing line.
However, the arrival of another boy, in the shape of Gemma Owen's ex Jacques O'Neill, has heralded another dumping.
The dramatic exit will play out on screen in Tuesday night's instalment of Love Island on ITV2.
The departure comes at an interesting time in the villa, with some Islanders settling into couples - while others are far less secure.
Gemma, 19, has gone from Liam, to Davide Sanclimenti and then on to Luca Bish.
However, the fish salesman is far from sure that their relationship is safe from her rugby-playing ex Jacques.
Others, including Dami Hope and Amber Beckford seem to be much more secure and are already fan favourites.

Bookies have made Andrew and Tasha Ghouri the early favourites to win the show this year, with Gemma and Luca in second place.
The looming recoupling is far from the only drama on the horizon on Love Island, with a spoiler revealing a bust-up between Luca and Andrew Le Page.
Love Island returns to ITV2 tonight at 9pm

Heritage Commission Book of the Week: GATH’s Literary Work and Folk
George Alfred Townsend, known by his pen-name Gath, was one of Delaware’s most famous writers of the 19th century. Born the son of a Methodist pastor in Georgetown, Townsend would work as a war correspondent during the Civil War, write for several newspapers, and publish several books, both fictional and biographical. Many of Gath’s works remained unpublished after his death and some of his more obscure works remain quite rare. Jerry Shields has created an annotated collection of some of Townsend’s most interesting publications, as well as a brief biography of his fascinating life.

LOVE Island fans were all baffled by the way bombshell Jacques O'Neill was pronouncing his own name.
The Professional Rugby League star - who has played for Castleford Tigers since he was a teenager - arrived in the villa last night.
He caused a stir when it was revealed he used to date Gemma Owen.
But some Love Island fans were more interested in whether he was saying his own name wrong.
The "s" is supposed to be silent but viewers were convinced he was saying "Jacks".
One remarked: "Is Jacques mispronouncing his own name because he said it as if it’s spelt 'Jacks'."
Another said: "Why does Jacques pronounce his own name wrong?"
The 23-year-old went on a date with single Islanders Afia Tonkmor and Paige. after arriving in the villa, claiming he and Gemma were just friends.
Explaining why they broke up, Jacques blamed concentrating on rugby too much.
He said: "I split up with my ex and then I was seeing someone else. I was concentrating so much on my rugby and then I had that injury.
He added: "I think it needs to be the right person, at the right time."
However, he has been plagued with injury, having not played for a year following a hamstring re-attachment surgery.
Before he entered Love Island, the sportsman admitted that he "falls easily".
He said: "I literally know if they’re going to be my girlfriend within a week. I fall pretty quick."
"I’ll look after someone close to me to the full extent I can. I would have a baby in two or three years.
"I think I’d be good with babies too, they’d be good looking wouldn’t they?"
He added: "I am loving, I've got loads to give! At family parties, I always bring the laughs." | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/18872261/love-island-complaint-jacques-name/ | 2022-06-13T15:59:31Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/18872261/love-island-complaint-jacques-name/ | true | 4 |

"J.P. Morgan is proud to be associated with this Issuer-Driven ETF program and the sustainable development of domestic capital markets in Colombia.

This fund will be denominated in Colombian pesos. The Colombian Ministry of Finance and Public Credit underwent an evaluation process through which it selected Global X ETFs as manager of the fund, Fiducaria Bogota as administrator of the fund, and J.P.

The two entities will deploy joint research programs to enhance local capabilities in energy and sustainability
Honeywell launches dedicated Sustainable Energy Training Program to enhance building sustainability
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) today announced a strategic collaboration agreement with Alfaisal University in Saudi Arabia, with the aim of driving greater sustainability in buildings and supporting the Kingdom’s ambition of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2060.
As part of this agreement, Honeywell Building Technologies and Alfaisal University’s College of Engineering will design and deploy joint research programs to enhance the sustainability of buildings through advanced energy projects.
“We’re proud to be collaborating with Honeywell to support the Kingdom’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) and net zero goals. This agreement will help us enhance our position as a leading research institute that supports knowledge exchange and improves the opportunities available for our graduates in their chosen professions,” said Dr. Maha Al Saud, vice president for external relations of Alfaisal University.
“We look forward to working with Saudi Arabia’s Alfaisal University to develop local talent and enhance the knowledge and skills for executing energy projects in our efforts to advance the industry’s capabilities and understanding of ready-now technologies,” said Abdullah Al-juffali, president, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, Honeywell.
Honeywell will also launch the Sustainable Energy Training Program, which will provide a sustainable source of qualified energy professionals and auditors to help support Honeywell’s energy projects in the region. The training program augments the company’s expanding capabilities in creating solutions to increase sustainability of buildings. Alfaisal University will work with Honeywell as the first education partner for this unique program. The two entities will jointly create the Honeywell Sustainability and Energy Training Program to support learners and enhance local capabilities.
The program will engage participants in the principles of energy and sustainability, as well as how to effectively evaluate energy problems, assess the cost and benefits of various sources of renewable energy and calculate consumption. They will also be involved in understanding building materials, systems, and methods of construction, recommend best strategies to achieve sustainable, energy efficient and healthier buildings and eventually perform actual audits of energy use in building structures.
In a recently commissioned YouGov research, more than 300 business leaders and decision makers in the region were surveyed to understand the awareness, challenges and priorities of sustainability policies. Overall, the findings indicate that energy management tops the list of priorities, with almost 90% of respondents saying ESG considerations are important to their organization’s strategy. The top reason among respondents in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for this was cost reduction.1
“The launch of the Sustainable Energy Training Program is a testament to our commitment to the Kingdom in supporting localization and initiatives such as in-Kingdom Total Value Add Program (IKTVA) and net zero by 2060, whilst expanding our cooperation with the private sector. It will help develop local talent and grow capabilities for the implementation of sustainable energy projects in the country,” concluded Al-juffali.
Honeywell’s investment in local talent will support Saudi Aramco’s IKTVA Program by growing local industries and providing upskill training and jobs to Saudi Arabian citizens.
Alfaisal University is a private, not-for profit, research and teaching university ranked 201-250 globally, the first in Saudi Arabia and the Arab world. In 2021 it was placed 9th in the World’s Best Small Universities (Times Higher Education (THE) Young University Rankings. The University aims to provide world-class graduate programs and deliver creative research endeavors that contribute to the development of a knowledge-based economy, that fosters entrepreneurships, community partnerships and international cooperation.
Saudi Arabia and Saudi Aramco’s IKTVA program aim is to achieve 70% localization of production and jobs, supporting the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. Honeywell’s strategic plans in Saudi Arabia are closely aligned with the 2030 vision. Active in Saudi Arabia for more than 70 years, Honeywell continues to play a vital role in supporting and advancing the Kingdom’s industries through the local development and manufacturing of technologies. | https://www.zawya.com/en/press-release/companies-news/honeywell-collaborates-with-alfaisal-university-rsz0uvvj | 2022-06-13T16:01:21Z | https://www.zawya.com/en/press-release/companies-news/honeywell-collaborates-with-alfaisal-university-rsz0uvvj | true | 1 |
Unrestrained infant dies after falling from vehicle, being run over, police say
WOODBRIDGE, Va. (Gray News) - Police are investigating the death of a small child in Virginia after investigators said she was run over by the vehicle she had been sitting in.
The Prince William County Police Department said its Crash Investigation Unit responded to the scene on Sunday in Woodbridge to find a 10-month-old girl with a serious head injury.
The girl, who was from Hyattsville, Maryland, was rushed to a nearby hospital where she died from her injuries later in the day.
Investigators said they believe the driver had placed the infant unrestrained in the back seat of a Toyota Highlander before driving to a nearby dumpster.
The 35-year-old driver went to pick up additional family members at a home, but when one of the relatives opened the back door, the child fell out of the vehicle, authorities said.
Police said the driver immediately got out of the vehicle while the SUV’s transmission was still in drive, causing it to roll over the child.
The driver hasn’t been charged as of Monday morning, and the police department said the case remains under investigation.

Canadian PM Trudeau tests positive for COVID days after meeting with Biden
TORONTO (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has tested positive for COVID-19 for the second time and just days after he met in person with U.S. President Joe Biden.
The announcement came in a tweet Monday in which he urged everyone to get vaccinated. Trudeau said he feels OK and said that’s because he’s been vaccinated.
The positive test comes after he met with U.S. President Joe Biden and other leaders at the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles. Biden took a “family photo” with Trudeau on Friday and met with him on Thursday.
Trudeau also tested positive in January.
The prime minister also had isolated at home in the early months of the pandemic after his wife tested positive.
Canada has one of the world’s highest rates of vaccination against the coronavirus — shots which are primarily designed to keep those who become infected from falling seriously ill.

Jack Joseph and Cole Anderson have amassed 4.2 million followers between them on the social media site thanks to the comedy duo’s take on British bouncers.
The 62-second-long clip, shared by Jack, shows him in a full Morbius-style make-up and black wig, trying to get into a club, with Cole as a doorman, questioning him.
It was created in partnership with Sony Pictures to mark the digital home movie release of Morbius, which stars Jared Leto as Dr. Michael Morbius, who becomes a living vampire after curing himself of a rare blood disease, and the latest anti-hero to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Jack said: “Jared Leto’s performance as Morbius is extraordinary. He is very scary and discombobulating.
“I’m a huge Marvel superhero fan but this was very different. I loved it and had some sympathy for him.
“In my video with Cole, I play a fully-vamped up vampire trying to get into a club but with a British accent instead of Morbius’s American accent and made it very Ricky Gervais-style cringe.”
Playing the same characters
Brighton-born Jack, 22, who met Cole a year ago via TikTok, added: “People thought we were the same person online, which is weird. And others thought we were related.
“We decided to make a joke out of it and meet up and play the same characters. Now we do everything together.”
Cole, from Essex, who also starred in Ricky Gervais’ After Life 3, said: “I love Morbius. He is so freaky. The CGI was really good.
“Jared Leto is so creepy and a great method actor.
“Me and Jack now get recognised from TikTok. We were at a festival in Liverpool last month and it was non-stop.
“It’s 80 per cent guys that come up to it. It’s very flattering and mad.
“We actually got kicked out of a club by bouncers recently who said we were causing grief. We weren’t!”
Morbius is released from today (13 June) to download and keep and to rent on digital and 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™ and DVD on 27 June, with outtakes, bloopers, featurettes and Easter eggs. | https://www.inverurieherald.co.uk/read-this/tiktok-stars-jack-and-cole-have-created-a-new-bouncers-in-the-uk-sketch-featuring-marvel-character-morbius-3729872 | 2022-06-13T16:06:58Z | https://www.inverurieherald.co.uk/read-this/tiktok-stars-jack-and-cole-have-created-a-new-bouncers-in-the-uk-sketch-featuring-marvel-character-morbius-3729872 | false | 18 |

Every game of the NBA Finals is live on Sky Sports: Watch Celtics @ Warriors – Game 5, live on Sky Sports Arena and Main Event, on Monday night from 1.45am; with repeats shown the following morning and in the days thereafter
Monday 13 June 2022 15:24, UK
Stephen Curry showed throughout Game 4 that no matter how good your defense is, he will find a way to weave his magic and score on you.
He did that to the tune of 43 points on Friday night in the the Golden State Warriors' 107-97 win over the Boston Celtics as the Dubs tied up the NBA Finals at 2-2.
As the Celtics search for a means to stop the two-time MVP, they know even their best defense won't always be good enough. Whether Boston, which had the best defense during the NBA regular season (the Warriors were second in defensive rating) can find those answers will go a long to deciding who will win the best-of-seven series..
Coach Ime Udoka is calling for the Celtics to mix things up and be more physical on the heels of Curry's masterpiece display when the teams face off in Game 5 back in the Bay Area, live on Sky Sports Arena & Main Event from 1.45am overnight on Monday night.
Udoka will allow his guards some leeway in deciding exactly where to begin pressuring Golden State's superstar – often starting well beyond the 3-point arc with the big men staying at the ready to assist.
Curry went 14-for-26 with seven 3-pointers and also grabbed 10 rebounds. Once he finds a rhythm, he can hit from anywhere, even with a defender's hand in his face. But Udoka realises how the career 3-point leader can quickly become just as dangerous a playmaker, too.
"Obviously, the range extends the floor some," Udoka said. "Some of the shots that he's hitting are only shots that he can hit and have been highly contested. He's hit a few of those.
"We're leaving it up to our guards, a lot of responsibility, where they want to pick up and pressure him, mix up his pick up point, understanding they can mix some unders that have been quite successful against him if it's high enough. If not, force him in where contest and get the onus on those guys more than anything.
"Their bigs aren't really getting out quick-rolling so we can show a crowd there. They're really trying to set the screens and free him up as much as possible more so than rolling so our bigs don't really need to worry about dropping.
"The thing he does well, obviously, is that once he gets off the ball, the movement, that's different. He doesn't just stop and they all are hunting shots for him as you saw when we switched a little bit. We can mix it up there, be a little bit more physical, mix some unders on him when he's that high. We've been good as far as that.
"The fact he's such a willing and good playmaker, I think, makes it tougher to go after him – as opposed to some other guys who don't want to get off the ball. He finds the guys in the pocket and that's when Draymond is at his best, making plays for others, so it's a balance of both."
The 34-year-old Curry recorded the second-best scoring performance of his career on the finals stage – second only to the 47 points he put up in Game 3 of 2019 against eventual champion Toronto – and joined Michael Jordan and LeBron James as the only players age 34 or older with at least 40 points in a finals game.
So, was watching the film session from Friday's game almost as fun for Curry as what he did during it?
"Whether you play well individually or not, you always know what happens at the end. It's like watching the end of a movie. It's always nice to know that the movie turns out great at the end," he said.
"But I think it's more so just the balance of watching what worked and trying to understand those patterns so that you can repeat that for the next game. Maybe anticipate some adjustments that might happen. Try to slow it down and try to be one step ahead of that. In the meantime, also watching a lot of different reactions in the crowd and on the bench and stuff like that, too. That's always some good entertainment."
Klay Thompson posted on social media he jumped in the bay Saturday for an open-water swim.
He wrote: "The ocean heals the mind, body & soul."
Curry's Splash Brother scored 18 points on 7-for-17 shooting in Game 4. Thompson's 35.8 per cent shooting is the lowest for any NBA Finals he has played, and he is making just 34.2 per cent from deep – down from 58.5 per cent on threes in the 2019 finals.
Monday will mark the three-year anniversary of when he got injured in those finals, during the Warriors' decisive Game 6 loss to Toronto that clinched the Raptors' first title at Oracle Arena. Thompson tore the ACL in his left knee that required surgery and began a more than two-and-a-half year absence. During that stretch he also tore his right Achilles tendon and needed that repaired.
When told he is 3-0 in his purple game sneakers, Curry could only laugh and hope he hadn't now been jinxed.
And, no, he wasn't keeping track of that obscure stat.
"I did not even know that, so I appreciate you," Curry said. "I don't know if that messes with the juju on there if I'm aware of the record now. I've got a lot of different colours, so we'll see. We'll see what happens. Got me thinking now, too."
Celtics center Robert Williams III is still dealing with soreness in his troublesome left knee. He had surgery in March to repair torn cartilage before returning for Game 3 of the first round against Brooklyn. The Celtics continue to monitor him, though Udoka said the 6-foot-9 big man was better on Sunday.
Boston didn't find a specific moment on film that showed when Williams might have re-aggravated the tender knee.
"Doing better, the day off, the rest, equalled with today and tomorrow, optimistic he'll be good to go," Udoka said. "But we'll test it before the game as usual."

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Atlantic City's main casino workers union will vote Wednesday on whether to authorize a strike against the city's casinos, with whom they have yet to reach new contract agreements.
Local 54 of the Unite Here union says its members will decide whether union leadership can call a strike against any or all of the nine casinos. Contracts with the casinos expired nearly two weeks ago, and talks have yet to produce a new agreement.
“We’ve been saying for some time now that casino workers need a real raise," union spokesperson Bethany Holmes said. "We’re two weeks past our contract expiration, and we’ll continue to try to get there with the companies, but we’re taking a vote this week to put in the hands of the negotiating committee the power to call a strike, if necessary.”
No target date for a potential walkout has been set, but an obvious date would be the July 4 holiday weekend, which is crucial to the casinos' business plans as one of the busiest times of the year.
A “yes” vote will not result in an immediate strike. It simply gives the union's negotiating committee, comprised of workers from all nine casinos, the power to call a strike if and when they see fit.
But it would be likely to increase pressure on the casinos as they negotiate with the union, which says it is seeking “significant” wage increases in the next contract to help workers deal with financial setbacks caused by the coronavirus pandemic and rapidly rising prices.
The labor dispute comes at an uncertain time in Atlantic City: The casinos and their online partners are collectively making more money now than before the pandemic hit.
But the casinos say those statistics are misleading because they get to keep only about 30% of online and sports betting money, with the rest going to their third-party partners. They say that in-person revenue won from gamblers is the crucial metric, and not all the casinos have surpassed their pre-pandemic levels.
The union went on strike in 2004 for 34 days, and walked out against the former Trump Taj Mahal casino in July 2016, which ended with the casino shutting down in October of that year. It has since reopened under different ownership as the Hard Rock.
So far, the union has secured agreements with the Ocean Casino Resort and Bally's to honor the terms of contracts eventually reached with some of the larger casino companies in town, but no contracts have yet been agreed upon.

Sturgeon: Scotland can be global hub for purposeful business
Scotland can and should “strive to be a global hub for purposeful business”, the First Minister has said.
Nicola Sturgeon addressed delegates in an opening speech at the Scottish Council for Development and Industry (SCDI) Annual Forum in Edinburgh on Monday.
The forum will see up to 300 people – consisting of SCDI members and senior leaders from the Scottish and UK governments, business, third sector and academia – coming together to discuss Scotland’s future across two days.
The First Minister pledged the Scottish Government’s support to work in partnership with the country’s various industries amid a period of “really significant” challenges such as Brexit and the pandemic, alongside high inflation.
We are confronting those challenges, of course, at a time where inflation is at the highest level we've seen in more than a generation
“The challenges at present – as I don’t need to tell anybody in this room – are really significant,” Ms Sturgeon said.
“Not just for Scotland, but for the UK, much of Europe – indeed, for much of the world right now.”
She added: “We are confronting those challenges, of course, at a time where inflation is at the highest level we’ve seen in more than a generation – indeed, higher here in the UK than it is in any other G7 country – (and is) having a terrible impact on individuals and families the length and breadth of the UK.
“It is, of course, contributing to the increasing cost of doing business, and indeed that is being exacerbated by Brexit, and particularly the form of Brexit that has been pursued.”
However, Ms Sturgeon said that despite there being “no shortage” of issues to confront, there were grounds for optimism in the country’s economy.
The SNP leader cited a “glowing” Ernst & Young (EY) report on Scotland’s success in attracting overseas investment, telling delegates: “That doesn’t happen by accident.
“It is the result of much hard work by many organisations, businesses and individuals across the country.”
She described the results of the ScotWind auction held in January – which could see £25 billion of investment being made in Scotland – as something that “illustrates very well the potential we have to turn our vast natural resources into massive economic benefits, supply chain and jobs benefits across the country”.
She also pointed to the country’s role in last year’s Cop26 in Glasgow, where she said the country was “able to showcase to the world that businesses based here in Scotland are actively engaged in finding the solutions to the biggest challenge currently facing the planet”.
We can, and we should strive to be a global hub for purposeful businesses
The First Minister highlighted the SCDI’s Making A Good Living – A 2030 Blueprint for Scotland report, published last year, which suggests Scotland “should aim to be a global hub for purposeful businesses that profitably solve the problems of people and planet”.
She said: “Our strengths, not simply when it comes to net zero but also in areas like life sciences and big data – even with all of the headwinds that I spoke about earlier on – make it possible to fulfil the ambition that SCDI has set out.
“We can, and we should strive to be a global hub for purposeful businesses.
“By doing that, we will give ourselves the best chance of improving our economy, increasing the wellbeing of the country, and, in the process, will make a beneficial contribution to the world that we all live in.”
The First Minister confirmed the expansion of Scotland’s “Productivity Clubs” – a network with more than 1,800 members across Scotland offering peer support to improve and grow enterprises in areas such as digital transition and fair work.
On the topic of Scottish independence, Ms Sturgeon said she did not view holding a referendum as a “distraction” to other issues the country currently faces.
“It’s actually fundamentally about how we best equip ourselves as a country to address those challenges and fulfil our potential – not just now, but in the future,” she said.

The mandate to extend the deployment of Turkish troops in Libya for an additional 18 months was submitted to Parliament on Monday.
The mandate, signed by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, highlighted that Turkey continues its full-fledged support for a permanent cease-fire in the country while noting that the delayed elections that were initially scheduled to be held on Dec. 24 threaten stability.
Turkey will continue to contribute to Libya’s security by providing training and counseling to the Libyan military under the scope of a joint military cooperation agreement signed by both countries, according to the mandate.
In 2019, Turkey's Parliament approved a security and military deal with the internationally recognized government in Libya. The deal allows Turkey to provide military training and equipment at the request of the Libyan government, which controls the capital, and some of the country's west. The memorandum also asserts Turkey's rights in the Eastern Mediterranean in the face of unilateral drilling attempts by the Greek Cypriot administration, clarifying that the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) also has rights to resources in the area.

As the weekend draws to a close in Kyiv and in Moscow, here are the key developments:
Ukrainian officials said 23 people were injured after a Russian rocket struck Chortkiv in the Ternopil region of western Ukraine. "There was no tactical or strategic sense in this strike, as in the vast majority of other Russian strikes," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday. "This is terror, just terror."
The family of a 48-year-old British man detained by Russian-backed rebels called for his release on Saturday after he was sentenced to death in a trial in the separatist-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic of Ukraine. Shaun Pinner, who has lived in Ukraine for four years, served in the division defending Mariupol before it fell to Russian forces. Another Briton and a man from Morocco were also sentenced to death in what Pinner's family described as a "show trial."
Russian forces are using more deadly, inaccurate ordinance as munitions run low, Ukrainian and U.K. officials said Saturday. With modern munitions in short supply, Russia has resorted to using old anti-ship missiles designed to take out aircraft carriers. However, the munitions are highly inaccurate and can cause extreme collateral damage.
A former British soldier was killed fighting in eastern Ukraine. Jordan Gatley, a former rifleman in the British army, was fighting on the front lines in Sievierodonetsk in Ukraine's Donbas region. Both Ukrainian and Russian forces have suffered heavy casualties during intense fighting around Sievierodonetsk, a key city that Russia wants to capture.
In-depth
Russia has achieved at least one of its war goals: returning Ukrainian water to Crimea.
Evgenia Kara-Murza, wife of jailed Russian opposition politician Vladimir Kara-Murza, told NPR on Saturday that she has not had direct contact with him in two months.
Open source intelligence methods are being used to investigate war crimes in Ukraine.

MICHELE NORRIS, Host:
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Michele Norris.
MELISSA BLOCK, Host:
And I'm Melissa Block. We're going to begin this hour with two reports about prisons run by the U.S. military as part of the war on terrorism. In a moment, we'll hear about new documents that tell us more about the men being held at Guantanamo Bay.
First, we're going to hear about some 500 men detained by U.S. forces at Bagram Air Base, outside Afghanistan's capital, Kabul. Most of those prisoners were captured and held without being charged as enemy combatants following the U.S. invasion in 2001. Under a deal between the U.S. and the government of Afghanistan, most of those detainees will be transferred to a new Afghan- controlled prison about a year from now. But human rights advocates say the transfer raises new questions about the conditions and treatment of prisoners in the fight against terrorism.
NPR's Rachel Martin reports from Kabul.
RACHEL MARTIN: A year and a half ago, Abdul Kahar Sarwari (ph) was arrested by U.S. forces outside of Kandahar. As Sarwari tells it, someone threw grenades at an American patrol. When they couldn't find the culprits, the Americans arrested 24-year- old Sarwari and his friend, who were hanging out at a corner store nearby. The two men were interrogated in Kandahar as suspected Taliban, then blindfolded, handcuffed and flown to Bagram Air Base. Sarwari says his conditions and treatment improved with time, but the first few months at Bagram were difficult.
ABDUL KAHAR SARWARI: (Through translator) In the winter, we didn't have, you know, a heater to make us warm. And also they didn't give us time to sleep there. They kicked me. They punched me. And also they hit me with their belts. And I was praying God to either release me from there or kill me.
MARTIN: Sitting on the floor of his uncle's house in Kabul, the bearded young man recounts his year long detention with a numb detachment. His 11-year-old cousin kneels next to him, his brow furrowed as he listens to Sarwari.
KAHAR SARWARI: (Through translator) When I was there, I didn't know about anything, when I was supposed to be released or whether I will be released or not, and I didn't have any idea how long I would stay here.
MARTIN: U.S. officials in Kabul have repeatedly stated that detainees are held in accordance with international standards. Under pressure from the Afghan government, the U.S. signed an agreement last year to gradually transfer detainees from Bagram and Guantanamo to a new U.S.-funded Afghan facility. The plan is to renovate part of a notorious prison outside Kabul called Pulicharki, move the detainees there, and then put them under the control of the Afghan government.
Last week, riots at the Pulicharki prison left six dead, many injured and an entire cellblock destroyed. Over the weekend, workers cleaned up the piles of broken glass and threw out tables and chairs torched by prisoners. Nadir Nadiri, with Afghanistan's Independent Human Rights Commission, says the riots were incited partly by a group of 200 accused Taliban, who have been in prison for more than three years without being convicted. Nadiri says the plan to transfer detainees from Bagram and Guantanamo to Pulicharki will only work if the Afghan government commits itself to developing a transparent legal system that stands up to international scrutiny.
NADIR NADIRI: The concerns are that if those people are once transferred to the Afghan authority, and the Afghan authority under the domestic and international laws obligation do not provide access to court and do not provide them with — provide to have defense lawyer, then that would make a big, big problem.
MARTIN: General Abdul Salaam is the head of Afghanistan's prison system under the Ministry of Justice. He's traveling on a fact-finding mission to Guantanamo Bay in a few weeks as part of preparations for the prisoner transfer. Salaam says the Afghan government will have full control over all the detainees sent over from the U.S. military, and that each one will be tried and either convicted or set free.
ABDUL SALAAM BAKSHI: (Through translator) The Americans would not interfere in our affairs even when the Guantanamo prisoners will be transferred to Pulicharki prison. I can declare that Pulicharki will not become Guantanamo.
MARTIN: Western officials say the transfer of detainees won't happen until Afghanistan has developed a solid legal framework to handle them, their trials, their continued detention or their possible release. Meanwhile, former Bagram inmate Abdul Kahar Sarwari says these detentions have already eaten away at Afghans' faith in the U.S. operation here. What he calls his arbitrary and irresponsible detention has shaped what he, his family and his community think about America's real priorities in Afghanistan.
KAHAR SARWARI: (Through translator) We know that they want to help Afghanistan, and they want to help our people, but I cannot ever forget my being mistreated in the prison, and I will always have that in my mind.

Striker Erling Haaland has been formally unveiled as a Manchester City player but Pep Guardiola's business in the summer transfer window is far from finished.
Haaland has joined City on a five-year deal worth around £375,000-a-week. The 21-year-old, arguably the most exciting young striker in world football, scored a remarkable 86 goals in 89 games for Dortmund.
The Norway star reckons he can take his game to another level at Premier League champions City under Guardiola and there could be a few more new faces joining him at the Etihad. Mirror Sport rounds up the latest transfer news and rumours.
Phillips bid 'submitted'
City have reportedly wasted little time in getting on with their next piece of business following Haaland's arrival as they follow up on interest in Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
It is claimed by Football Insider that City have "submitted an offer" for the 26-year-old who boss Guardiola has earmarked as a replacement for the departing Fernandinho.
"A City source has told Football Insider that Phillips is their top target for the remainder of the summer window," they report. "Leeds face a major battle to hang on to the England international, 26, despite his strong links to the club."
Phillips has also been linked with moves to Liverpool and Manchester United but has privately stated he would not leave his boyhood club for the latter.
HAVE YOUR SAY! Who should City sign and sell this summer? Let us know in the comments section
Chelsea eye Sterling
Raheem Sterling is reportedly considering snubbing offers from Bayern Munich and Real Madrid to go to Chelsea.
Football London claim the 27-year-old favours a move back to London rather than a spell overseas. They note that Sterling "was brought up in the English capital after being born in Jamaica" and "spent time in the QPR academy before being signed by Liverpool as a teenager" so the opportunity to be closer to friends and family in the area, as well as the London lifestyle, appeal to him..
Kompany set for Turf Moor
Former Manchester City skipper Vincent Kompany is set to be unveiled as Burnley's new boss, according to reports in Belgium. Kompany, who left Anderlecht, is wanted to replace Sean Dyche at Turf Moor, but French side Nice made a late bid for the former defender.
But Kompany is said to favour a return to England with the Clarets, who will play next season in the Championship, after their relegation from the Premier League.

The applied spectral solutions company prepares for growth in its Applied Systems business
ORLANDO, Fla., June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ocean Insight, the applied spectral knowledge company, is nearly doubling the size of its engineering, production and support facility in Rochester, N.Y., one of the country's leading innovation hubs for optics and photonics. The expansion will bolster the company's growing Applied Systems business unit, which focuses on developing spectral systems for various industries including consumer electronics and scrap recycling.
When completed later this year, the upgraded 14,000-square-foot Rochester facility will accommodate enhanced engineering development capabilities, expanded laboratory and calibration operations, and a growing team of development engineers and technicians.
"The reimagined Rochester facility will allow us to better accommodate our growing Applied Systems business and preserve business efficiency for customers by streamlining our development engineering and operations functions," said Dr. Michael Edwards, President of Ocean Insight. "The deep technical resources of the Rochester area combined with a diverse, technically skilled community make it another great location for Ocean Insight."
The Rochester facility expansion is one of several steps Ocean Insight has taken recently to expand its spectral engineering and production capabilities and strengthen its portfolio of photonics products, application expertise and customer support. Earlier this year, Ocean Insight acquired International Light Technologies, a leading producer of light measurement and detection systems. And in 2020, the company relocated its headquarters and operations to a 52,000-square-foot facility in Orlando, Fla., another U.S. photonics hub.

2025 and Beyond
Move to Zero
In the race against climate change we're creating solutions that are better for all athletes* and the planet. We've set bold, science-based targets.
Scaling Ideas at NIKE is The Game Changer
In the race against climate change we're creating solutions that are better for all athletes* and the planet. We're scaling sustainable innovations throughout our whole business to reduce NIKE's environmental impact. We've set bold, science-based targets. And we're optimistic—our successes and failures over the past 30 years are inspiring the solutions and resolve to create a future in which we all and this beautiful blue ball thrive.
Putting Progress in Perspective
NIKE has the climate impact of a global city. That's a significant role for a company to play and it motivates us to look at everything we do, because small adjustments lead to big changes. Most people understand NIKE is big. But we thought it would be worthwhile to give that idea more context. NIKE has about 75,400 employees; upwards of 1 million employees in our owned and supplier facilities; over 1,500 physical spaces and we emitted 11,706,664 metric tons CO2e in FY20. If we were a city, we'd have roughly the population and carbon footprint of Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Materials & Design
Currently, 78% of all NIKE, Jordan and Converse products contain some recycled material. We're working to increase that number because adjusting materials—which are about 70% of our total carbon footprint—is one of our biggest opportunities to reduce our impact.
Take recycled polyester. This now-foundational fabric begins as recycled plastic bottles. They are cleaned, shredded into flakes, converted into pellets and spun into new, high-quality yarn that delivers peak performance while reducing carbon emissions by up to 30% compared to virgin polyester. One of our most popular product lines, the Tempo Short, is made from at least 75% recycled polyester. Most options come in at 100%. To date, this single product is responsible for pulling 112 million plastic bottles out of landfills and waterways.
Supply Chain
Sustainable materials matter that much more if our manufacturing is done responsibly. Our end-to-end approach looks at carbon, energy, waste, chemistry and water across the entire product lifecycle, ultimately making choices that improve conditions for teams and locations worldwide.
Creating products takes energy. And today, that process also makes waste. But there is a growing truth of waste: Trash is treasure. One of our greatest inventions is Nike Air. It's also one of our most sustainable innovations. We're able to reuse more than 90% of the waste from Air manufacturing, often turning it into new Air bags. This ensures all Nike Air soles are made from at least 50% recycled material.
Small changes pave the way to achieve big aims. Since our last Impact Report, we've made single-digit centimetre adjustments across product manufacturing, meaning more than 3.5 million kg of waste was prevented. At scale, these adjustments and innovations are our path to achieving our aims of 100% of the waste from our extended supply chain diverted from landfills and at least 80% recycled back into NIKE products and other goods. We aren't there yet, but just like our athletes constantly working to be better than they were before, progress is an everyday goal.
Completing the Circle
The last phase of a product's life—getting it to athletes* and, eventually, back from them—is the most challenging sustainability puzzle. Customised goods and next-day delivery are norms. What to do with a well-loved or defective product is blurry. And no one likes receiving a crunched package. So we're re-thinking it all with ingenuity, science and grit.
We've set a 2025 goal to donate, refurbish or recycle 10X more used or defective products than we do today. To achieve this, we're making it easier for people to return their used product back to us. Active in stores throughout the USA and Europe, we're scaling Reuse-A-Shoe to stores in Greater China and re-energising our operations. We're hosting up-cycling workshops and providing relevant content like the Nike Circular Design Guide to consumers. Recently, we rolled out Nike Refurbished in selected North America stores. We're also hosting up-cycling workshops and providing relevant content like repair & care videos (that will go live this summer) to help extend the life of products. We're just getting started with some of these services, but our aim is the same as with anything we do. To serve all of the planet's athletes with inspiration and innovation.
A Team Effort
When it comes to re-writing our planet's future, our aim is to change industry standards along with our products and processes. Because we know that the faster we can collectively do more for the environment, the better it will be for generations to come. We're also creating ways for each athlete* to take part. Look for the sunburst when shopping NIKE products. Tune in to Talking Trash for discussion and ideas from the NIKE community. Take note of brands' accountability to larger sustainability agreements like G7 Fashion Pact, Transform to Net Zero and UNFCCC Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action. Keep an eye out for Membership resources, like Repair & Care videos going live this summer and local store programming. | https://www.nike.com/nl/en/a/sustainability-2025-targets | 2022-06-13T16:38:58Z | https://www.nike.com/nl/en/a/sustainability-2025-targets | false | 11 |
UAE bans Buzz Lightyear film over same-sex kiss
Pixar’s Toy Story spin-off Lightyear has been banned from cinemas in the United Arab Emirates because it features a same-sex kiss.
Censors announced that the children’s film would not be released, despite cinemas already advertising screening times for its release on Thursday.
The media regulatory office of the country’s ministry of youth and culture tweeted an image of the main character Buzz Lightyear circled in red with a “no” symbol over it, saying the film was not licensed to be shown because of violations of media content standards.
The scene that has sparked controversy in the Islamic nation involves a kiss between Hawthorne, voiced by the actress Uzo Aduba, and another female character that she’s in a relationship with.

A group under the aegis of the Coalition of Northern Groups has asked northerners to obtain permanent voter cards to enable them vote credible leaders that would address the multifarious challenges bedevilling the region.
The spokesperson for the group, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, made the call while addressing a news conference in Kano on Monday.
He said the call was necessary because getting Permanent Voter Cards is the surest way to ensuring good governance and leadership that could check the current security and other challenges pervading the region.
“We want to caution the North against voter apathy in the coming elections and to strongly call on northerners to register massively for Permanent Voter Cards as the only sure way of ensuring leadership that will address our limitations.
“We also note, uncomfortably, the likelihood of voter apathy in the North with the current lower participation in the ongoing update of voter registration compared to other parts of the country, hence our decision to call on eligible voters to obtain the card.
“We want to remind the northern voter to be vigilant with the direction of his voting by refusing to be pinned to political party specifics and going for candidates with pronounced credibility, competence, capacity and with the antecedent of impliedly lyrics and expressly identifying with their problems around security, the economy and education.
“We wish to also remind Nigerians of the danger of risking their collective future by not critically assessing and evaluating the credentials of the candidates presented by the parties in terms of capacity, competence, integrity, and merit before making a choice,” Suleiman said.
The group condemned in strong terms the monetisation of politics and compromise of the party delegates and called for a thorough investigation into how money was used in recent primary elections by aspirants.
He said the investigation was necessary so as to find out whether the prescribed protocols as indicated in the Electoral Act was violated or not.

“To categorically state that the operational system by which a negligible few enjoys the sole prerogative for imposing candidates on the larger majority shall never endure and must be utterly rejected,” he said.
He added that the CNG fully supported and welcomed the adoption of the popular demand for the open democratic practice of allowing all eligible candidates from every section of the country, regardless of ethnicity, religion or class, the opportunity to aspire for offices in the various political parties.
“We note, in particular, that the dubiously acquired and arrogantly expended billions of naira by aspirants in, especially, the ruling APC and its main challenger, the PDP, in bankrolling individual aspirations at all the levels, have totally monetised the primary candidates’ selection processes, automatically disqualifying men of honour, character, integrity and merit from the race for 2023 and potentially placed the hopes of this and future generations of Nigerians in the line.
“The CNG notes also, in the manner of the primaries conducted by the PDP and the APC, the foundation for a final entrenchment of a culture of making money the deciding factor in Nigerian politics that would serve the purposes of consolidating elite monopoly as well as the political exclusion of the non-elite.
“We are also worried that the glaring impunity with which aspirants to the presidential tickets of, especially, the two major parties, induced their respective party delegates has ultimately left the millions of Nigerian voters with the hard and only choice between two traditional old war horses for the presidency,” the group said.

BCCI secretary Jay Shah announced that they will hike the monthly pension of retired cricketers cent percent, a move which surely benefits the ex-cricketers. The secretary also said that this move is bound to affect 75 percent of personnel which also includes non-players like scorers and statisticians.
I’m pleased to announce an increase in the monthly pension of former cricketers (men & women) and match officials. Around 900 personnel will avail of this benefit and close to 75% of personnel will be beneficiaries of a 100% raise.

“I’m pleased to announce an increase in the monthly pension of former cricketers (men & women) and match officials. Around 900 personnel will avail of this benefit and close to 75% of personnel will be beneficiaries of a 100% raise,” Shah tweeted.
Shah’s decision comes on the day BCCI sold the combined media rights of IPL from 2023 to 2027. The e-auction saw the digital and the TV rights getting snapped up by some of the biggest media conglomerates.
BCCI president Sourav Ganguly said: “It is extremely important that the financial well-being of our former cricketers is taken care of. The players remain the lifeline and as a Board, it is our duty to be by their side once their playing days are over.
“The umpires have been unsung heroes and the BCCI truly values their contribution.”
BCCI treasurer Arun Singh Dhumal said: “Whatever the BCCI is today, it is because of the contribution of its former cricketers and umpires.
“We are pleased to announce the increase in the monthly pensions which will be a gesture for the well-being of our former cricketers.”
Shah had played a key role in thwarting the rumors of BCCI President Sourav Ganguly’s resignation after his cryptic tweet caught everyone by surprise.
“The rumours doing rounds about Mr Sourav Ganguly stepping down from the post of BCCI President are factually incorrect. We have some exciting times in the form of media rights coming up and my colleagues and I are completely focused on the upcoming opportunity and safeguarding the interest of Indian cricket,” the BCCI secretary told ANI.

It’s 2022, and lactose is a brewer’s best friend. The natural sugar in milk adds sweetness and body to certain beers, creating a creamy mouthfeel that’s more akin to dessert than day drinking. Unfortunately, 68% of the world’s population is unable to digest lactose. For those sad souls, beer with lactose can brew up a squall in the ol’ large intestine. If that’s you, you might be wondering: Can I drink lactose in beer if I’m lactose intolerant?
Can I drink lactose in beer if I’m lactose intolerant?
First, let’s consider the chemical nature of lactose. At the end of the day, lactose is a sugar. (That’s why you’ll see some brewers labeling their cans as containing “milk sugar.” Same thing!) But lactose is a unique sugar: As VinePair’s Adam Teeter points out, while most sugar is converted to alcohol during brewing, lactose is not. “As an unfermentable sugar, lactose will remain in the finished beer, and depending on how severe your allergy is, it may not make you feel that great,” Teeter writes in a 2021 article.
Long story short: If you’re lactose intolerant, beers that contain lactose may provoke a digestive reaction. With that in mind, look out for these frequently milky beer styles:
Beers to avoid if you’re lactose intollerant
Fruited sours
Andrew Zach, Director of Brewery Operations for Resurgence Brewing Co., explains that lactose frequently pops up in the ever-popular fruited sour (not to be confused with the mysterious smoothie beer.) “We use lactose in fruited sours for a variety of reasons, but the main is to help balance that tartness of the sour with a touch of sweetness and creaminess,” Zach tells me over email. “It is also more acceptable from an industry standard to add lactose to these beers. People generally think of fruit as being sweet, but we do not always receive product that way.”
Think of the difference between two blueberries from the same container. One could be sweet, one could be tart; lactose brings out the sweetness and creates balance.
Milkshake beers
If a beer reminds you of an old-fashioned soda shop, it probably contains lactose. Milkshake beers, creamsicle beers, and every dessert-inspired beer in between are often packing hefty amounts of vanilla bean and lactose to achieve their signature creaminess. How hefty? This homebrewing website recommends a full pound of lactose per five gallons of beer. That’s hefty.
What about hazy beers?
Zach tells me that lactose intolerant folks are generally safe drinking “hazy” beers—full-flavored beers with a cloudy, almost milky appearance. “Honestly, most hazy IPAs do not contain lactose,” he says. “We do not put lactose in any of our hazy/New England-style IPAs. The whole reason that brewers use lactose in IPA is to build body, create a creaminess to the beer, and add a little sweetness. But we do that with other ingredients—dextrin malt, oats, and dextrin sugar.”
Jimmy Mauric, the head brewmaster for Shiner Beer, agrees. “One of the great things about the hazy IPA style is that there are almost endless ways to build a recipe,” Mauric tells me. “Many breweries will use lactose to give the beer a fuller body, but there are several other ways to achieve this. Shiner never uses lactose and instead opts for ingredients like oats, wheat, and specialty yeast to deliver a full-bodied, hazy IPA.”
The good news: Even if you’re severely lactose intolerant, there are still plenty of full-flavored, lactose-free beers available to you. And if you simply must sample that milkshake IPA, there’s always Lactaid. | https://thetakeout.com/don-t-drink-these-beers-if-you-re-lactose-intolerant-1849045514 | 2022-06-13T16:48:53Z | https://thetakeout.com/don-t-drink-these-beers-if-you-re-lactose-intolerant-1849045514 | false | 1 |
LOS ANGELES, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit against Stronghold Digital Mining, Inc. ("Stronghold" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: SDIG) for violations of the federal securities laws.
Investors who purchased the Company's shares pursuant and/or traceable to the Company's initial public offering conducted in October 2021 (the "IPO"), are encouraged to contact the firm before June 13, 2022.

According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Stronghold's suppliers, including MinerVa, were not likely to meet delivery deadlines and quantities. The Company was likely to experience trouble obtaining miners beyond its confirmed purchase orders due to strong market demand. The Company was likely to face significant headwinds in expanding its mining operations.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he has tested positive for COVID-19 for a second time.
Trudeau says on Twitter today that he will be isolating and that he feels OK.
He says that is because he has been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus.
Trudeau is encouraging everyone to get vaccinated, including with a booster dose, to protect themselves, others and the health-care system.
The prime minister recently returned to Canada from Los Angeles, where he attended the Summit of the Americas with other leaders, including U.S. President Joe Biden.
Trudeau also tested positive for COVID-19 at the end of January after one of his children tested positive.

The tale of an imaginary universe where elevators are really important, the story of the first giraffe in Europe and a novel about a drug that restores lost memories. Intriguing-sounding books by themselves, but what makes them more alluring is that they are all authors' debut works.
Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl says writers pour their heart and soul into their first books. "Not that they don't do it for subsequent books, but I think in some cases maybe the best has come out there."
She talks with Steve Inskeep about some of her favorite first books and what makes them worth pulling off the shelf again and again.

Attorneys who worked to secure settlements topping $1 billion in the collapse of a beachfront Florida condominium building in which 98 people died are requesting about $100 million in fees and costs, according to a new court filing.
The total represents a discount of as much as $200 million compared with the amounts typically charged by lawyers in major class-action lawsuits, Miami attorney Philip Freidin said in the document. The settlements also avoid court battles that could have taken years and cost even more.
Freidin was asked to recommend fees for 132 attorneys who worked more than 34,000 hours on the lawsuits that followed the June 24, 2021, collapse of the Champlain Towers South building in Surfside, Florida. The settlements for wrongful death and property loss were announced less than a year after the tragedy.
The total of about $100 million is reasonable “given that this litigation is among the most difficult, complex, and high-profile class actions I have witnessed in 53 years of practicing law,” Freidin said in the filing. “But no one expected this kind of result, ever. It's unprecedented. And without this team, it would not have happened.”
The final amount of fees and costs will be determined by Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Michael Hanzman, who has already given preliminary approval to the victim settlements negotiated by the lawyers. The money would come from those settlements, which total more than $1.02 billion, court documents show.
A fairness hearing to allow people to comment on the settlements is set for June 23 — a day before the first anniversary of the 12-story building's collapse.
“The court will determine what an appropriate fee is, likely after holding a hearing and after the individual victims receive their individual awards,” attorneys Harley Tropin and Rachel Furst said in an email. They co-chaired the plaintiff committee in the case, which ultimately involved 30 settling parties.
And the legal work is not yet done. Each person who files a claim for a share of the settlements is entitled to an individual hearing on their amount, if they choose, which could last into August. It's not immediately clear if additional fees would be charged out of the settlements for lawyers in those hearings.
The goal is to begin distributing money to victims by September.
The money comes from several sources, including insurance companies, engineering firms and a luxury condominium that had recently been built next door. None of the parties admitted wrongdoing. A billionaire developer from Dubai is purchasing the 1.8-acre (1-hectare) beachside site for $120 million, contributing to the settlement.
Only three survivors were found despite around-the-clock efforts by rescuers who dug through a 40-foot-high (12-meter-high) pile of rubble for two weeks. Another three dozen people were able to escape from the portion of the building that remained standing. All 136 units were ultimately demolished.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is investigating the cause of the collapse, a process expected to take years. Champlain South had a long history of maintenance problems and questions have been raised about the quality of its original construction and inspections in the early 1980s.
Florida will require statewide recertification of condominiums more than three stories tall under new legislation Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law last month in response to the disaster. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Attorneys-in-Florida-condo-collapse-seek-about-17238118.php | 2022-06-13T17:03:21Z | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Attorneys-in-Florida-condo-collapse-seek-about-17238118.php | false | 19 |

Exodus of Kashmiri Pandits example of demographic shift after hate speeches: Delhi HC
- Country:
- India
Hate speeches are the beginning point of attacks against a targeted community and there have even been instances of demographic shifts in the aftermath of inflammatory speeches -- the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Kashmir valley being a prime example, the Delhi High Court on Monday said.
Justice Chandra Dhari Singh said that the methodology of hate speeches is not restricted to any religion or community and there are instances of hate speeches in different parts of the country targeted against people of specific communities based upon demography.
The judge asserted that hate speeches are targeted at a community to create a psychological impact on their psyche and the attacks can range from discrimination to ostracism, ghettoization, deportation, and even genocide.
"Hate speeches are almost invariably targeted towards a community to impart a psychological impact on their psyche, creating fear in the process. Hate speeches are the beginning point of attacks against the targeted community that can range from discrimination to ostracism, ghettoization, deportation, and, even genocide. The methodology is not restricted to any religion or community in specific," the court said.
"There have been and there continue to be instances of hate speeches in different parts of the country targeted against people of specific communities, based upon the demographic composition. There have even been instances of demographic shifts in the aftermath of such Hate/Inflammatory speeches, the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Kashmir valley is a prime example," the court stated.
The court's observations were made while dismissing a petition by CPI(M) leaders Brinda Karat and KM Tiwari challenging the trial court's refusal to direct the registration of an FIR against Union Minister Anurag Thakur and his BJP colleague and MP Pravesh Verma for their alleged hate speeches concerning anti-CAA protest at Shaheen Bagh here.
The court emphasised in its order that hate speeches incite violence and feelings of resentment against members of specific communities and marginalize such individuals by using expressions that expose their group to hatred.
It asserted that the freedom of speech and expression under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution comes with reasonable restrictions which include public order, decency or morality or concerning contempt of court, defamation, or incitement to an offence which includes hate speech.
Article 15 of the Constitution also prohibits discrimination against any citizen on grounds of only religion, race, caste or sex, etc, it added.
It noted that several international accords, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Covenant on Civil & Political Rights, also condemn discrimination and hate speech. PTI ADS RKS RKS

JUNE 8 RAMS WAIVE TRAVIN HOWARD
The Rams waived linebacker Travin Howard on Wednesday afternoon, per an announcement from the team.
A former seventh-round pick by the Rams, Howard played in 12 games with two starts last season for Los Angeles, making 21 tackles and intercepting one pass in the regular season.
Howard also helped get the Rams to the Super Bowl, intercepting 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo late in the fourth quarter of the NFC Championship Game.
JUNE 8 HENDERSON SIDELINED
Rams running back Darrell Henderson has been sidelined from organized team activities due to a soft tissue injury suffered during practice. Henderson was also injured near the beginning of OTAs and was forced to missed time as well.
Despite missing five games last season with various injuries, Henderson had his best season, finishing with 178 touches for 864 yards and eight touchdowns.
JUNE 6 RAMS SECURE ALL ROOKIES
The Los Angeles Rams have officially signed all eight of their 2022 draft picks to their rookie deals heading into mandatory minicamp.
Those players, Logan Bruss, Decobie Durant, Kyren Williams, Quentin Lake, Derion Kendrick, Daniel Hardy, Russ Yeast, and AJ Arcuri are all expected to compete in camp this offseason for various contributory roles next season.
JUNE 1 NEW MADDEN COVER For the first time since 2000, John Madden will grace the cover of the video game named after him.
The Hall of Fame coach and broadcaster passed away in December at the age of 85.
Madden 23 is set to come out this August.
MAY 25: KAP WORKOUT FOR RAIDERS
The Las Vegas Raiders are hosting quarterback Colin Kaepernick for a workout.
Kaepernick gained praise and scrutiny for kneeling during the national anthem in the 2016 NFL season, the last year he played in the NFL.
Kaepernick, 34, spent the 2011-16 seasons with the Niners.
MAY 23: RAMS RE-SIGN DEFENSIVE BACK JAKE GERVASE
The Los Angeles Rams re-signed defensive back Jack Gervase on Monday, per an announcement from the team. No terms of the deal were given.
Gervase has spent the majority of his career as a special teams contributor and came to the team as an undrafted free agent in 2019.
MAY 18: RAMS ROOKIE NUMBERS REVEALED
The Los Angeles Rams unveiled the jersey numbers for their rookie draft picks this week.
You can view each of those numbers below:
OL Logan Bruss - 60
DB Decobie Durant - 14
RB Kyren Williams - 23
DB Quentin Lake - 37
DB Derion Kendrick - 6
DB Russ Yeast - 43
LB Daniel Hardy - 44
OL AJ Arcuri - 76
MAY 4: RAMS FREE AGENT RB SONY MICHEL VISITS DOLPHINS, ONE VISIT SCHEDULED
Rams free agent running back Sony Michel visited the Miami Dolphins Wednesday and has a meeting scheduled with the New Orleans Saints later this week, according to reports from ESPN.
Despite the Rams having a forgettable, eighth-worst rushing attack that averaged just 99 rush yards per game last season, Michel led the team in carries (208) and rush yards (845) during the regular season after arriving via trade from New England last August following Cam Akers' achilles injury.
But Akers, who is set to be a big part of the team's future and returned as LA's lead-back during the championship run, forced the former Georgia product to take a backseat. Michel totaled 26 carries for 80 yards in four postseason games, including just two carries for two yards in the Super Bowl.
The former Patriot is now set to hit free agency, with a projected market value of $5 million. Michel's return to LA seems unlikely, as Akers and Darrell Henderson Jr. are set to be the Rams backfield tandem moving forward. All three splitting touches next season just isn't a realistic scenario.
MAY 3: RAMS CUT PAIR
The team announced it will cut defensive back Antoine Brooks Jr. and running back Javian Hawkins. Brooks, a Maryland product, appeared in eight games in 2021, helping on special teams. Hawkins was a member of the Rams practice squad but in the preseason the former Louisville player gained 48 yards on 10 carries.
MAY 2: RAMS MISS OUT ON HONEY BADGER
The growing speculation of the Rams signing former Kansas City Chiefs Pro Bowl safety Tyrann Mathieu to a deal had continued to take shape over the past few weeks.
But on Monday, multiple reports indicated that Mathieu, 29, has struck a deal with the New Orleans Saints. The details of the deal are yet to be announced and the official signing should take place “in the coming days.”
Mathieu spent the past three seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, winning a Super Bowl with the team in 2019. After five years with the Cardinals and one season with the Texans, the 29-year-old seemed set in his role as the face of Kansas City's secondary.
He’ll now play for his hometown Saints, adding talent to an elite secondary that already includes four-time Pro Bowl corner Marshon Lattimore.
APRIL 30 RAMS TRADE FOR OLD FRIEND
The Los Angeles Rams are bringing back an old friend via a trade with the Cleveland Browns, in cornerback Troy Hill, per a report from NFL Network.
The Rams will be sending a 2023 fifth-round pick to the Browns in exchange for Hill.
Hill spent five seasons with the Rams from 2016 to 2020, before heading to Cleveland in 2021.
He had seven interceptions and 212 tackles over that time.
APRIL 20 49ERS STAR DEEBO REQUESTS TRADE
APRIL 19 RAMS OFFICIALLY SIGN WOLFORD The Los Angeles Rams officially signed quarterback John Wolford a contract on Tuesday, cementing him as Matthew Stafford's backup for the coming season.
Wolford was an exclusive rights free agent for the Rams, meaning he is a player that has accrued two or fewer seasons in the NFL with an expired contract. Should a team choose to extend a qualifying offer to an exclusive rights free agent, which is worth the league minimum, that player is not able to negotiate with other teams.
Upon signing with the Rams and becoming Jared Goff's backup, Wolford immediately became a fan favorite. Wolford did start one game in place of an injured Jared Goff that inspired confidence in the quarterback, against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17 of the 2020 season.
His lone start against the Cardinals saw Wolford complete 22 of 38 passes for 231 yards and an interception while adding 56 rushing yards on six carries as well.
In 2021, Wolford 1 of 4 pass attempts for five yards in three games.
While Wolford may not be an elite quarterback ready to lead a franchise, he is the perfect backup to have for emergency starts should Stafford get hurt, which is why it makes perfect sense for him and the Rams to run it back in 2022.
APRIL 16 RAMS WAIVE ORR, TENDER HOWARD The Los Angeles Rams made a pair of minor transactions on Saturday, waiving defensive back Kareem Orr, and signing linebacker Travin Howard to a restricted free agent tender.
A former seventh-round pick by the Rams, Howard played in 12 games with two starts last season for Los Angeles, making 21 tackles and intercepting one pass in the regular season.
Howard also helped get the Rams to the Super Bowl, intercepting 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo late in the fourth quarter of the NFC Championship Game.
Orr had four tackles in two games last season.
APRIL 14 MATT GAY SIGNS RFA TENDER Rams Kicker Matt Gay has reportedly signed his restricted free agent tender, per the team.
Gay has spent the last two seasons in Los Angeles and made 94 percent of his field goal attempts last season.
APRIL 9 REEDER TO LA, With Chargers The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to terms with former Rams linebacker Troy Reeder on a 1-Year deal, according to reports.
Reeder originally signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Delaware and went on to play in all 16 games as a rookie, starting eight and finishing the year with 58 tackles.
In 2020, Reeder once again saw action in 16 games, starting seven, and finished the year with 81 tackles, five tackles for loss and three sacks
Reeder was a key member of the Rams' Super Bowl run, starting 10 games in 17 appearances, and finishing the year with 91 tackles, six tackles for loss, four quarterback hits, and two sacks.
The 27-year-old also had two interceptions and six pass deflections in 2021, and started three of the Rams' four playoff games.
APRIL 6 RAMS FINALIZE STAFF The Rams announced their finalized coaching staff for the 2022 season on Wednesday afternoon, including new additions and title changes.

APRIL 5 HEKKER REPLACEMENT FOUND The Los Angeles Rams have finally found their replacement for long-time punter Johnny Hekker, who was cut by the team due to salary cap ramifications in March, in former Giants punter Riley Dixon.
Dixon spent the last four seasons in New York after being drafted by the Broncos in 2016. Dixon spent two years with Denver before and was traded to the Giants in 2018.
APRIL 4 PART OF BOBBY WAGNER CONTRACT DETAILS EMERGE The Los Angeles Rams made yet another splash in free agency last week, when they signed former Seahawks star Bobby Wagner to a five-year, $50 Million deal.
The exact details of that deal have still not been revealed, leading many to speculate on the amount of guaranteed money, as well as incentives and the cap ramifications.
On Monday, however, one stipulation in that contract was finally uncovered, with reports surfacing that Wagner is set to earn just $6.5 million in 2022 - a major positive for the Rams, who will be strapped for cap space heading forward in the offseason.
APRIL 1 OFF-SEASON CAMP SCHEDULE RELEASED The Los Angeles Rams enter the off-season looking to defend their first Super Bowl title under Sean McVay.
And on Friday, the first dates for the offseason camp schedule were revealed.
The first date of camp will begin on April 18, while OTAs will take from May 23-24, on May 26, and from May 31-June 2.
Mandatory Minicamp will run June 7-9.
There has been no release of training camp dates as of yet.
MARCH 28 DRAFT ‘24 SET: The NFL has allotted the 2024 NFL Draft to the city of Detroit. The Motor City wins the right over other cities such as Green Bay and Washington, D.C.
On Thursday, it was announced that Kansas City would be the location of the 2023 NFL Draft following its pitch over Green Bay and several other cities. The event is set to take place on April 27-29.
The 2022 NFL Draft will be held in Las Vegas on Thursday, April 28 and will continue through Saturday, April 30.
MARCH 24 DRAFT ‘23 SET: The NFL has now locked into the dates for the 2023 Draft, scheduled to take place in Kansas City, announcing it will be held April 27-29.
Kansas City was selected as the host city for the 2023 event three years ago.
“This will be one of the biggest and most-anticipated professional sporting events our city has hosted,” Kathy Nelson, president and CEO of the Kansas City Sports Commission and Visit KC, said in a statement.
This year’s NFL Draft will be held in Las Vegas on April 28-30.
MARCH 20 RAMS RETAIN RETURN SPECIALIST The Los Angeles Rams have had a busy weekend thus far, re-signing quarterback Matthew Stafford and trading wideout Robert Woods on Saturday.
However, there was another move made by the Rams that flew a bit under the radar as well, with Los Angeles electing to re-sign return specialist Brandon Powell to a one-year deal.
Powell initially joined the Rams in November when he was signed to the practice squad, but quickly became part of the special teams unit.
In his short stint with the team, Powell averaged 26.0 yards on eight kick returns and 22.2 yards on six punt returns. He also had a 61-yard touchdown in Week 16.
Powell was also effective in the postseason, returning nine punts for 104 yards and five kicks for 88 yards. Powell has not caught a pass with the Rams.
MARCH 16 JULIO JONES CUT The greatest receiver in Falcons franchise history, Julio Jones, did not turn out to be that for the Titans, who have just decided to cut the long-time standout.
Jones forced his way out of Atlanta last spring, the Falcons getting second- and fourth-round picks for the veteran receiver. And what did the Titans get? Jones. 33, had the worst statistical season of his career, totaling 31 receptions for 434 yards and only one touchdown.
Jones, a seven-time Pro Bowler, is expected to be release with a post-June 1 designation, saving the team roughly $9.5 million in cap space.
MARCH 16 MR. JONES HEADS TO THE WEST....THE AFC WEST
The Las Vegas Raiders are signing Arizona Cardinals pass rusher Chandler Jones to a multi-year deal. In a corresponding move, the Indianapolis Colts are trading for defensive end Yannick Ngakoue.
Jones, 32, became an All-Pro pass rusher following a trade from the New England Patriots in 2016. In six seasons with the Cardinals, Jones recorded 262 tackles, 71.5 sacks, 23 forced fumbles and 19 pass deflections.
Jones is currently one of six active players with over 100 sacks for their careers at 115.5. Others include Los Angeles Rams Von Miller (115.5), New Orleans Saints' Cameron Jordan (107), Baltimore Ravens' Justin Houston (102), Arizona Cardinals J.J. Watt (102) and Chicago Bears' Robert Quinn (101). .
The Raiders are also expected to be in play for both cornerback Stephon Gilmore and safety Tyrann Mathieu.
MARCH 16 RAMS TENDER LB HOWARD The Los Angeles Rams have decided to attempt to retain restricted free agents on Wednesday, placing an original round tender on linebacker Travin Howard.
Should a team attempt to outbid the Rams offer, they would owe the Rams a seventh-round pick in exchange, should Los Angeles elect not to match the offer.
Howard played a key role in the Rams Super Bowl run last season, intercepting 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo late in the fourth quarter of the NFC Championship game.
He played in 12 regular season games for the Rams in 2021.
MARCH 14 RAMS RE-SIGN OL COLEMAN SHELTON The Rams retained some depth to their offensive line room on Monday afternoon, re-signing reserve offensive lineman Coleman Shelton to a two-year deal.
Shelton was a restricted free agent heading into the offseason, with the Rams deciding not to tender him, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Shelton can play multiple positions along the front, including both center and guard. He could also potentially be a replacement for Austin Corbett, who likewise is a free agent.
MARCH 14 COWBOY CEDRICK HEADS TO AFC EAST The Miami Dolphins are signing former Dallas Cowboys receiver Cedrick Wilson to a three-year deal. He is expected to earn $22.8 million; $12.75 million is fully guaranteed.
A reliable No. 4 receiver in Dallas, Wilson posted a career-best in 2021. He tallied 45 catches for 602 and six touchdowns while averaging 13.2 yards per catch. The Cowboys were hopeful to come to terms with Wilson and fellow receiver Michael Gallup following the trade of Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns.
Miami is hopeful Wilson can be a stronger option than former Texans receiver Will Fuller. Signed to a one-year, $10.5 million deal, Fuller played in two games, recording four catches for 26 yards.
MARCH 14 RAMS KEEP STAPLE OF OFFENSIVE LINE The L.A. Rams have signed center Brian Allen to a three-year deal worth $24 million. The Rams' fourth-round pick (111th overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft has chosen to remain in Los Angeles. This means the offensive line that helps the Rams to a Super Bowl LVI win last month will remain largely intact as the team attempts to "keep the band together to run it back."
MARCH 14 FREE SAFETY REMAINS IN PACIFIC NORTHWEST The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to terms with free safety Quandre Diggs on a three-year extension worth $40 million. Diggs has taken over as the long-term replacement for Earl Thomas and will pair alongside Pro Bowl strong safety Jamal Adams.
Since being traded by the Detroit Lions, Diggs has become one of the more consistent free safeties in the sport. In Seattle, Diggs has recorded 13 interceptions, including five in each of the past two years. He suffered a season-ending leg injury in the final game of last season, but is expected to be ready for Week 1.
Diggs, 29, last season recorded two picks against Rams' quarterback Matthew Stafford. In two games against Los Angeles, he recorded nine tackles and three pass breakups as well.
MARCH 14 FORMER No. 2 PICK GETS SECOND SHOT IN PITTSBURGH
The Pittsburgh Steelers are singing former No. 2 pick Mitchell Trubisky to a two-year contract. Trubisky last played for the Buffalo Bills and was drafted initially by the Chicago Bears in 2017.
In four seasons with Chicago, Trubisky posted a 29-21 record and threw for 10,652 yards, 64 touchdowns and 38 interceptions. He completed 64.4 percent of his passes. Last season with the Bills, Trubisky completed 75 percent of his passing backing up Josh Allen
The Steelers are replacing 18-year veteran Ben Roethlisberger, who elected to retire following the 2021 season. Pittsburgh has yet to have a losing season under Mike Tomlin and made the postseason at 9-7-1 last fall.
MARCH 14 NOTE-BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE The Rams are bringing back offensive tackle Joe Noteboom on three-year deal worth $40 million. Noteboom, 26, is expected to be the long-term option at left tackle once Andrew Whitworth calls it a career for good.
A former third-round pick from TCU, Noteboom has played four different positions on the offensive line. Last season following an injury to Whitworth, Noteboom filled in at left tackle. He is guaranteed $25 million and can make a max value of $47.5 million.
MARCH 13 PSYCH! BRADY'S BACK! Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady announced on social media that he is un-retiring and returning to the Bucs for his 23rd NFL season.
Brady announced his retirement two months ago, but revealed that he didn't want to part ways with the game just yet.
These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG
MAR 10 CHARGERS BOLT UP PASS RUSH The Chicago Bears are trading Pro Bowl pass rusher Khalil Mack to the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for draft capital. According to ESPN, the Bears will receive Los Angeles’ second-round pick (No. 48) and a 2023 sixth-round pick, pending a physical from Mack.
Mack, 31, is coming off a career-worst with Chicago, but still is regarded as one of the top pass rushers in the game. Last season in seven games, he recorded 19 total tackles, six tackles for loss and six sacks. Mack was placed on the injured reserve following a season-ending foot injury that required surgery.
With the addition of Mack, Chargers’ coach Brandon Staley will continue to run his defense in a 3-4 approach with an emphasis on attacking the quarterback. Last season, Chargers’ standout Joey Bosa recorded 51 total tackles and 10.5 sacks. Los Angeles finished middle of the pack in sacks with only 35.
The Bears, now led by former Indianapolis Colts’ defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, will now have two second-round picks to build around second-year QB Justin Fields.
MAR 10 7:50 AM RAMS ADD LB HINES The Rams added some depth to their linebacker room on Wednesday night, signing Anthony Hines to a reserve/futures contract.
Hines is now a part of the 90-man roster and will have to compete for a job on the final 53-man roster next fall.
Hines was signed by the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M last season.
MAR 8 12:47 PM The Rams NFC West rival Seattle Seahawks will have a new man under center in 2022.
On Tuesday morning, Russell Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos in one of the biggest trades in NFL History.
The Seahawks had been in the midst of negotiations will Wilson for weeks, with Wilson sitting as the focus of trade rumors around the NFL, including with the Washington Commanders, Houston Texans, and many more.
Wilson now becomes the second major quarterback domino to fall on Tuesday, following the Packers extension of Aaron Rogers, which made him the highest-paid player in NFL history.
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford will likely be the next quarterback to land a lucrative extension, while Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson could be the next prominent signal-callers to be on the move via the trade market.
MAR 1 NEW RB COACH CANDIDATE? In search of a new running backs coach to fill the void left by recently promoted Thomas Brown, the Los Angeles Rams have begun to target various names across the country, including a pair of rising stars in the college game in TCU's Ra'Shaad Samples, and most recently, Memphis' Anthony Jones Jr.
Jones has been with the Tigers since the 2017 season and has helped his team reach five-consecutive bowl games in that time.
So far during his tenure in Memphis, Jones accumulated some impressive honors, including a selection for the AFCA 35 Under 35 Leadership Institute, and the 2022 NCAA and NFL Coaches Academy.
In his first two seasons as the running backs coach, the Tigers got off to an impressive start, rushing for 6,533 yards and 78 touchdowns under his tutelage.
Jones has also played a major role in getting his players to the NFL, including Darrell Henderson, Tony Pollard, Kenneth Gainwell, and many more.
FEB 20 COACH PHILLIPS Wes Phillips is continuing a rich family football tradition, the grandson of Bum Phillips, son of Wade Phillips and former Dallas Cowboys assistant now joining the Minnesota Vikings as their new offensive coordinator under head coach Kevin O’Connell.
Phillips has been on the Rams staff, where McConnell was recently as Los Angeles won the Super Bowl.
Wes, 42, a native of Houston, was in Dallas from 2007 to 2013 in a variety of roles, including time when dad Wade, now 74, was the Cowboys head coach.
Grandfather Bum was of course a legendary former Houston Oilers coach.
FEB 19 FLORES HIRED The Steelers have named Brian Flores as their senior defensive assistant/linebackers coach.
Flores was most recently the head coach of the Miami Dolphins and in the wake of his recent firing - and his job interviews for head coaching positions that did not come to fruition, including in Houston - has filed a lawsuit against the NFL claiming racial injustices in the league's hiring practices.
"I am excited about Brian Flores joining our coaching staff given his history of developing and teaching defensive players during his time in the NFL," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "Brian's resume speaks for itself, and I look forward to him adding his expertise to help our team."
JAN 25 PAYTON'S LAST CALL
Following Tuesday's news, the New Orleans Saints enter the conversation for a new head coach. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Sean Payton has informed the Benson family that he will be "stepping away" from the team after 16 seasons. According to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, Payton is retiring and will not be interested in coaching as of this time.
Hired in 2006, Payton, 58, became one of the two faces to transform the Saints from one of the league's worst teams into a stable organization. Teamed with future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees, the Saints became one of the NFC's best franchises, finishing with nine seasons of 10-plus wins and nine playoff appearances during that span.
This past season without Brees, the Saints finished 9-8, missing the postseason for the first time since 2016. Jameis Winston was expected to replace Brees, but a torn ACL in Week 8 cost him the remainder of the season, leading New Orleans into playing four different quarterbacks over the 17-game period.
Payton finishes his time with the Saints with a 152-89 record and a Super Bowl win in 2009. Multiple reports suggest that the Dallas Cowboys could be interested in firing Mike McCarthy in order to bring Payton over after an early Wild Card Round loss to the San Francisco 49ers earlier this month.

Everything you need to know about falafel
At the recently celebrated International Falafel Day on June 12, 2022, we saw our social media feeds abuzz with this dish’s lip-smacking images and videos. However, do you know its origin, types or even its healthier options? A Middle Eastern cuisine, Falafel is a deep-fried ball or patty-shaped fritter made from ground chickpeas or broad beans. Paired with pickled vegetables, lettuce, garlic or tahini-based spread inside a pita pocket, it is savoured either as a snack or as part of a meze tray under an assortment of appetizers. “It’s a classic Lebanese dish which has become popular all over the world. However, interestingly, the preparation has not changed over the years, keeping the essence of the dish intact. In fact, the humble chickpea still remains to be the main element in the Levantine cuisine whereas fava beans are used in Egypt. There may be versions where the Indian Bengal Gram is used as a substitute to chickpea. But, a classic remains a classic!” says Chef Aditi Chatterjee, Welcomhotel Sheraton, New Delhi.
Types of falafel
There are three types of falafel--Traditional falafel, baked falafel and lemon falafel. “Where the traditional falafel is the basic fried falafel comprising a mix of chickpeas, onions, garlic, herbs and spices, baked falafels are made using fresh herbs in the chickpea mixture,” says Chef Sati from Ophelia. Spraying baked falafels with olive oil before baking makes them crispy. Also, if you have a herb garden, you can use scallions, garlic, parsley, and cilantro with it. “Lemon falafel, on the other hand, is made using basic falafel ingredients along with yellow peas,” she says. Mince both together and add lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon mayonnaise for a delightful flavor. Other popular flavor additions to lemon falafel are hickory wood liquid smoke, spice mix and tarragon.
The health component
While falafel is a deep-fried snack, its healthier options are available too for the health-conscious. “Falafel has high fibre and carbohydrates content. Instead of deep-frying it in oil, you can just air fry or bake it,” says Gagandeep Singh Bedi, Executive Chef, Roseate House, New Delhi, adding, “Putting quinoa in the chickpea mixture also makes it healthy. You can also add khus khus, beetroot or green peas.” A falafel can be made as a healthy protein snack when mixed with homemade sprouts or variations of flavored pita. “Multigrain pita, or the rye or millet pita, complemented with a variety of pickled vegetables, is a healthy option,” says Chef Riayaz Shaikh, The Leela Palace, New Delhi.
With a twist
Falafel can also be made by giving a different spin to the standard recipe. “It can be very flavorful with diced butternut squash and kale. Adding walnut or pistachios can be great too,” says Shaikh. To elevate its taste, add assorted mushroom and truffle to the chickpea mixture and balance it with creamy truffle tahini dip. Dip can also be served with garlic ranch or beetroot fried ranch. “For a hardcore seafood lover, freshly chucked king alaska poached lobster in falafel mixture, served with coriander scented rouille will be a great option too,” concludes Shaikh.
How to make falafel at home?
Ingredients:
1 cup dried chickpeas
1/2 cup onion, roughly chopped
1 cup parsley, roughly chopped
1 cup coriander, roughly chopped
1 small green chili
3 big garlic cloves
2 tbsp chickpea flour
1 tsp cumin (slightly roasted)
½ tsp baking soda
Salt to taste
1/4 tsp black pepper
Oil for frying
Method:
-Soak the chickpea overnight in water
-Drain and rinse chickpeas and add them to your food processor, along with onion, parsley, cilantro, chilli, garlic, cumin, salt and black pepper; it is recommended to “pulse” rather than run the processor in one go
-Transfer the falafel mixture to a bowl and add the chickpea flour and baking soda. Stir the mixture and cover with a lid and later refrigerate it for 30 minutes to one hour
-Now, use your hands to form the falafel into balls or patties. If you find the mixture too wet, add another tablespoon of chickpea flour
-Slightly flatten them from the top and fry in hot oil
-Serve it with your choice of dip--hummus, garlic mayonnaise, labneh
Tips to keep in mind:
-Do not use canned beans; soaked dried beans are always better
-Use fresh herbs for a flavourful falafel
-It is important for the mixture to rest well in the refrigerator. This will make it easy to shape them
-Fry a small ball of falafel first to check the seasoning and consistency
-Use an icecream scoop in case you don’t want to use your hands
-Along with using the leaves of coriander, you can use the stems too as they are packed with flavors; just remember to clean them well under running water

How to Install and Configure Envoy Proxy on Debian 11
Envoy proxy is a free and open-source service proxy designed for cloud-native applications. It's comparable to Nginx and haproxy which can be used as a reverse proxy, but Envoy proxy is designed for modern services and infrastructure.
Envoy is a high-performance service proxy that works with any application language. It uses YAML configuration files for static configuration and also uses a set of gRPC-based APIs.
Envoy proxy graduated from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). It is used in most modern infrastructure and container technology.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install and configure the Envoy proxy on the Debian 11 server.
Prerequisites
For the Envoy installation, we will be using the following:
- A Linux server Debian 11 Bullseye
- A non-root user with the sudo privileges
Adding Envoy Repository
Envoy can be installed in many ways, including with the binary packages provided by the Envoy repository or using Docker. In this example, we will install Envoy using the binary package from the Envoy repository.
Before adding and installing Envoy, you must install the following package. The gnupg2 will be used to add the GPG key to your Debian server, and the apt-transport-https allow you to install packages from the secure https connection.
sudo apt install gnupg2 apt-transport-https -y
Next, add and verify the Envoy GPG key using the following command.
curl -sL 'https://deb.dl.getenvoy.io/public/gpg.8115BA8E629CC074.key' | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/getenvoy-keyring.gpg
echo a077cb587a1b622e03aa4bf2f3689de14658a9497a9af2c427bba5f4cc3c4723 /usr/share/keyrings/getenvoy-keyring.gpg | sha256sum --check
If the key is valid, you will see the output message such as OK.
Now add the Envoy repository to your system using the below command.
echo "deb [arch=amd64 \
signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/getenvoy-keyring.gpg] \
https://deb.dl.getenvoy.io/public/deb/debian \
$(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getenvoy.list
Lastly, update and refresh your Debian repository.
sudo apt update
In the below screenshot you will see the Envoy repository is added to the Debian system.
Installing Envoy Proxy
You have now added the Envoy GPG key and repository, now you will be installing the Envoy package to your system.
Run the apt command below to install the Envoy package to your Debian 11 system.
sudo apt install getenvoy-envoy
Below you can see the Envoy installation in the process.
After Envoy installation is completed, verify the Envoy version using the following command.
envoy --version
Below you can see the Envoy v1.18 installed on the Debian 11. This is the latest version of the Envoy proxy provided by the Envoy repository. If you want to get the latest version, you can use a pre-built binary file from the Envoy website.
Additionally, you can also check all available options on the envoy command using the following command.
envoy --help
You will see a lot of options that you can use for setting up Envoy.
Configuring Envoy Proxy
After installing Envoy, you will now learn how to set up Envoy.
First, create a new directory /etc/envoy/ using the following command.
mkdir -p /etc/envoy/
Now create a new file /etc/envoy/demo.yaml using nano editor.
sudo nano /etc/envoy/demo.yaml
Add the following configuration to the file. In this example, you will be using the static_resources configuration for Envoy, which must include the listeners, clusters, and static_resources.
The listeners determine which IP address and port will be used for Envoy. In this example, Envoy will be running on public IP address 0.0.0.0 with port 80.
The cluster service_envoyproxy_io here will be used as the endpoint of the service, which is the domain name www.envoyproxy.io.
static_resources:
listeners:
- name: listener_0

typed_config:
"@type": type.googleapis.com/envoy.extensions.transport_sockets.tls.v3.UpstreamTlsContext
sni: www.envoyproxy.io
Save and close the file when you are done.
Next, run the envoy command below to verify the configuration file demo.yaml.
envoy --mode validate -c /etc/envoy/demo.yaml
If your YAML configuration is correct, you will see the output such as "configuration /etc/envoy/demo.yaml OK".
Now run Envoy with the configuration file demo.yml using the following command.
envoy -c /etc/envoy/demo.yaml
You will see the log output below. Also, be sure you don't get error messages.
Now move to your local machine and edit the configuration file /etc/hosts using nano editor.
sudo nano /etc/hosts
Add the www.envoyproxy.io domain name with your server IP address as below.
192.168.5.10 www.envoyproxy.io
Save and close the file when you are done.
Lastly, open your web browser and visit the domain name www.envoyproxy.io and you should get the homepage of the domain name www.envoyproxy.io.
Conclusion
Congratulation! you have now successfully installed Envoy on the Debian 11 server. You have also learned how to set up Envoy using the YAML configuration for proxying the website www.envoyproxy.io. | https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-and-configure-envoy-proxy-on-debian-11/ | 2022-06-13T17:13:02Z | https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-and-configure-envoy-proxy-on-debian-11/ | true | 1 |
A study presented at the recent Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC) annual meeting looked at how women with multiple sclerosis engage with one another on social media platforms to discuss and share knowledge during the family planning phase of their lives.
In this exclusive MedPage Today video, lead study investigator Riley Bove, MD, of the University of California San Francisco Weill Institute for Neurosciences, discusses some of the interesting findings.
Following is a transcript of her remarks:
Just as background, as many people are well aware, multiple sclerosis affects three times more women than men. And it has typical onset in the 20s, 30s, 40s -- so decades where patients may want to start a family or continue a family. And although we have many, many therapies now approved for multiple sclerosis -- and that do a wonderful job of controlling disease activity -- we don't know as much about which treatments are truly safe and how to administer these treatments when people are planning a pregnancy or in the postpartum period.
And so the goal of this study was to figure out what patients are talking about, what they're asking one another outside of their clinical encounters, what are the top themes. And to see whether there are any gaps in communication, research, or other that we need to be thinking about as we gauge the safety of these therapies and communicate the safety of these therapies to patients.
It's true that when you're looking at a post, you never know whether that's a post that's completely legitimate, and that's informed by science, or whether that's a post like the toddler the other day who ordered 31 cheeseburgers on his mom's account. We don't know what's happening for real. And so the other thing that we looked at were posts from sites that sometimes, as more sort of cautious risk-averse neurologists, we advise patients to steer away from. We say don't go looking at Dr. Google or at these sites, because we don't know about the quality of the evidence.
What was interesting to me was that actually the information content of the posts actually reflected where the science is going, with which products are considered more safe, more reasonable to consider either prior to pregnancy or during a pregnancy. And so overall I found that the posts were quite reasonable. There was a lot of recommendation that patients go back to their individual clinician and talk more. And so they certainly weren't kind of trying to divert patients away from medical care and onto sort of some fantastical theories. The posts were quite reasonable and quite backed by science.
We used social media listening or SML to look at a bunch of posts online. And we did that through a specific company. And the company was able to look at publicly available posts from certain open access sources, such as Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, etc. But not from Facebook and Instagram. And these posts seemed to really kind of pick up in the last few years, and there's a couple hypotheses to that.
One is: Are people going to social media because they're not seeing their doctors as frequently, as a consequence of COVID-19? One sort of thought about that argument or hypothesis is that we might have seen those posts pick up even a little earlier, sort of at the height of the shelter in place. Another alternative hypothesis is that there's a bit of a baby boom. And so early in the COVID-19 pandemic, there's been sort of a concern for a baby bust, where there was fewer pregnancies, fewer births. And then perhaps things sort of picked up a little bit. And so there's more interest in these treatments, as the pandemic kind of preceded. And finally, maybe this just reflects general trends in social media use independent of whether or not people are seeing their doctors. | https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/cmscvideopearls/99197 | 2022-06-13T17:13:04Z | https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/cmscvideopearls/99197 | true | 1 |
BJay Pak, a former Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney from Georgia, testified that he was asked by Attorney General William Barr to look into a conspiracy theory about a video involving a "suitcase full of ballots" in Atlanta, Georgia.
Pak, who abruptly resigned after Trump pressured Georgia state officials to overturn his presidential defeat, testified that his office looked into the video and found nothing there.
"We found that the suitcase full of ballots, the alleged black suitcase that was being seen pulled from under the table, was actually an official lock box where ballots were kept safe," Pak said.
Pak testified Monday that Rudy Giuliani had only played a selectively-edited part of the video during a Senate hearing, which fueled a social media campaign targeting two election workers in Fulton County who appeared in the video.
Pak resigned in January 2021 before Trump fired him for refusing to say that widespread voter fraud had been found in Georgia.

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Native Americans prosecuted in certain tribal courts can also be prosecuted based on the same incident in federal court, which can result in longer sentences.
The 6-3 ruling is in keeping with an earlier ruling from the 1970s that said the same about a more widely used type of tribal court.
The case before the justices involved a Navajo Nation member, Merle Denezpi, accused of rape. He served nearly five months in jail after being charged with assault and battery in what is called a Court of Indian Offenses, a court that deals exclusively with alleged Native American offenders.
Under federal law Courts of Indian Offenses can only impose sentences of generally up to a year. Denezpi was later prosecuted in federal court and sentenced to 30 years in prison. He said the Constitution’s “Double Jeopardy” clause should have barred the second prosecution.
But the justices disagreed.
“Denezpi’s single act led to separate prosecutions for violations of a tribal ordinance and a federal statute. Because the Tribe and the Federal Government are distinct sovereigns, those” offenses are not the same, Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for a majority of the court. “Denezpi’s second prosecution therefore did not offend the Double Jeopardy Clause.”
The Biden administration had argued for that result as had several states, which said barring federal prosecutions in similar cases could allow defendants to escape harsh sentences.
Politics
Local, state and national politics
In a dissent, Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote that the case involved the same "defendant, same crime, same prosecuting authority" and said the majority's reasoning was "at odds with the text and original meaning of the Constitution." The conservative Gorsuch was joined in dissent by two of the court's three liberal justices, Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Justice Elena Kagan.
The case before the justices involves a tribal court system that has become increasingly rare over the last century. Courts of Indian Offenses were created in the late 1800s during a period when the federal government's policy toward Native Americans was to encourage assimilation. Judges and generally prosecutors are appointed by federal officials.
Federal policy toward Native Americans shifted in the mid-1930s, however, to emphasize a greater respect for tribes' native ways. As part of that, the government has encouraged tribes to create their own tribal courts, and the number of Courts of Indian Offenses has steadily decreased. Today there are five regional Courts of Indian Offenses that serve 16 tribes in Colorado, Oklahoma, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. They are generally tribes with a small number of members or limited resources. Nationwide there are more than 570 federally recognized tribes.
The court said in 1978 that the Double Jeopardy clause did not bar the federal government from prosecuting a Native person in federal court after a tribal court prosecution, so the only question for the court this time was whether the rule should be different for Courts of Indian Offenses, which are sometimes called CFR courts because they have their basis in the Code of Federal Regulations.
In July 2017, Denezpi traveled with a female member of the Navajo Nation to Towaoc, Colorado, which is a part of the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation. While there, Denezpi raped the woman.
Denezpi was first charged in a Court of Indian Offenses with assault and battery, among other things. He eventually agreed to a so-called Alford plea in the case, not admitting guilt but acknowledging that prosecutors had enough evidence that he would likely be convicted at trial. He was sentenced to time served, 140 days in jail. His prosecution in federal court followed.
A lawyer for Denezpi did not immediately return an email seeking comment following the decision.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York has expanded legal protections for people seeking and providing abortions in the state under legislation signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday.
The Democratic governor pushed for the laws in anticipation of the U.S. Supreme Court potentially overruling its 1973 Roe v. Wade’s decision, which established a constitutional right to abortion. A ruling that could weaken or end abortion protections is expected as early as this week.
One new New York law protects abortion providers from arrest, extradition and legal proceedings in other states by forbidding New York state and local courts and law enforcement agencies from cooperating in most scenarios.
Under another new law, New York will protect the right of people to seek abortion care in the state.
People could sue for unlawful interference with their right to reproductive healthcare when other people or entities bring civil or criminal charges against them for seeking, accessing or providing abortions.
The laws protecting abortion providers and care take effect immediately. | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/New-York-state-to-protect-abortion-providers-17238289.php | 2022-06-13T17:15:54Z | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/New-York-state-to-protect-abortion-providers-17238289.php | true | 14 |
Krakow, Poland – Poland’s first ever world number one tennis player is a hot favourite with the bookmakers to lift the sport’s most prestigious trophy at Wimbledon next month. The tournament is already shrouded in controversy, with many of the usual competitors absent for one political reason or another.
Still, Swiatek can’t control that and can only play the opponents against whom she is drawn. Let’s take a look at her prospects and those of two other major talents from Central Europe. But first, what’s all the controversy about?
The Russian ban
When the Lawn Tennis Association announced that Russian and Belarussian players would not be permitted to compete at Wimbledon, it said it was following government guidelines.
However, the ATP argued that the ban undermines its principle of any player having the right to compete on merit and without discrimination. At other tournaments, players from Russia and Belarus have simply played under a neutral flag.
The ATP has therefore withdrawn all ranking points from Wimbledon, which in turn has led to more big names questioning whether it’s worth participating this year. The net impact is hardest on the women’s game, as the LTA’s action effectively excluded six of the top 30 players in the game today.
Swiatek the bookies favourite
Iga Swiatek will need to cast all such matters from her mind. The important thing for her to focus on is that Wimbledon should now be an easier proposition than the French Open, a tournament she won in dominant style with a straight sets win over Coco Gauff last month.
That particular result made it a run of 35 consecutive match wins for the 21-year-old from Warsaw, and that in itself is a record that’s only been achieved by a handful of the very best players. In fact, it could be that the only thing standing in her way at Wimbledon is Wimbledon itself. The tournament carries more pressure than any other, and Swiatek will be well aware she has always underperformed here, never getting beyond the fourth round.
Karolina Pliskova could go a step further
While Swiatek is dominating the headlines, Czech player Karolina Pliskova has crept back up to number seven in the world rankings. The former world number one has been through the wringer in recent weeks and was sidelined through injury earlier in the season.
However, she clearly loves Wimbledon and made the final last year. She could be returning to form at just the right time, and will be perfectly happy with the media attention being focused on political intrigue and the phenomenal form of Iga Swiatek. With some online sports betting sites offering odds as long as 33-1, Pliskova is surely worth a small wager.
Krejcikova will bounce back
Pliskova’s compatriot Barbara Krejcikova left Roland Garros in tears last month, the 2021 champion having been unceremoniously bundled out in the first round. It’s the worst preparation imaginable for Wimbledon, but here’s a funny thing to keep in mind.
SW19 is no ordinary sports venue. It’s a place of magic, a place where miracles happen and dreams come true. If anyone needs a fairytale right now, it’s Krejcikova, and she might just be coming to the right place. | https://kafkadesk.org/2022/06/13/polands-iga-swiatek-favourite-for-wimbledon-glory/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=polands-iga-swiatek-favourite-for-wimbledon-glory | 2022-06-13T17:17:56Z | https://kafkadesk.org/2022/06/13/polands-iga-swiatek-favourite-for-wimbledon-glory/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=polands-iga-swiatek-favourite-for-wimbledon-glory | false | 2 |

Are you like me, struggling with awkward social conversations as we learn how to gather again at this stage of the pandemic? My wife and I have kept a pretty tight circle of friends and relatives for the past couple years, but are beginning to branch out. Over Memorial Day weekend, we attended our granddaughter’s 4th birthday party where we gathered with 20 relatives and friends of my daughter. I hadn’t been there more than ten minutes when I was introducing myself to a male acquaintance of the family, a Millennial that manages a high-end restaurant in Portland. When I said I was the Interim Director for the Tillamook County Libraries, he said, “I have a question for you...why do public libraries even exist anymore?”
My defensive radar popped right up but I first scanned his face for any hint that he was just teasing me. Nope, no smile. No twinkle in his eye. And he didn’t burst into laughter and say, “I’m just messing with you!” So, I opened my mouth to begin explaining, and he added, “I mean, why aren’t libraries privatized and run by paid memberships? And besides, what is there to do as a library director but to open the library doors and let people come in and look at stuff? Wouldn’t it be better to just have all libraries be digital libraries where all you have to do is open your computer and you would have access to every book ever written?”
Let’s see, where do I start? “First of all, public libraries still exist because the public insists on it. Spend one hour in any of our libraries and you will see how widely used our facilities are. We have reinvented ourselves to be so much more than just books. We provide meeting spaces for the public, computers and WiFi for those who need it, job-search help, and we also present programs...from storytimes to teen programs to events for adults.” He seemed to be impressed with those statements, so I went on to question #2. “There are private libraries, but how much would you be willing to pay for a membership? It would take a whole lot of paid members to offer anything near to the level of service we currently offer. Privatization turns a library into a for-profit organization and whenever that happens in libraries, the quality of service is always less...and you would have to deny library service to the people who cannot afford to become members.”
I couldn’t even begin to answer his question about what a library director does besides open the door and let people in. We manage the facilities, create and revise policies, monitor and maintain a very complex budget, oversee all the library departments and branches, attend so many board meetings for the library board, commissioners’ meetings, friends of the library gatherings, the Library foundation group...and the list goes on and on. We interview, hire, and review employees. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg in regards to a director’s duties. There are more “other duties as assigned” than any other job I have ever had.
Finally, I decided to tackle the digital library question. “That honestly is a good idea, but what about people who do not have all the ‘toys’ you have...computers, tablets, and smart phones...let alone the people who cannot afford the Internet at their homes? Tillamook County even has lots of areas where you cannot get cell phone service, so what about those people? Do they just not get library service because they don’t have the finances to afford the Internet or digital devices?”
By now, my new acquaintance seemed satisfied and informed with my answers, so he redirected the chat to the NBA playoffs. While I wasn’t expecting to defend libraries on Memorial Day, it was a good reminder that many non-library users might have the very same questions. And that reminds me of another library director duty...to happily explain the importance of libraries to anyone who asks! Go ahead...I can talk libraries all day long. | https://www.tillamookheadlightherald.com/opinion/guest-column-tales-from-the-library/article_eab30140-e759-11ec-9b68-2f510382c767.html | 2022-06-13T17:26:06Z | https://www.tillamookheadlightherald.com/opinion/guest-column-tales-from-the-library/article_eab30140-e759-11ec-9b68-2f510382c767.html | false | 1 |
