(THE CONVERSATION) A devastating yearlong investigation into the executive committee of the largest conservative evangelical denomination in the U.S., the Southern Baptist Convention, has documented widespread claims of sex abuse including accusations of rape, cover-ups and gross mistreatment of women seeking justice.
In 2019 the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News partnered on a series of investigative reports on sexual misconduct by Southern Baptists with formal church roles. Subsequently, the annual meeting of the SBC held in June 2021 voted to authorize an investigations firm, Guidepost Solutions, to conduct an independent probe of its executive committee and its handling of sex abuse. The report and the list of alleged offenders has recently been made public.
I am a scholar of evangelicalism, gender and American culture, and over several years of my research I have seen how deeply ingrained aspects of conservative white evangelicalism force women to stay silent. In researching my two books, “Evangelical Christian Women” and “Building God’s Kingdom,” I found how structures of patriarchy force women to stay silent.
These deeply ingrained aspects of conservative white evangelicalism include “complementarianism,” or the patriarchal view that God gives authority to men and requires submission from women, and purity culture, an extreme version of sexual abstinence.
Purity culture
The SBC’s “True Love Waits,” a premarital abstinence campaign for teens launched in 1992, was an important component of the rise of purity culture. It was best known for the purity rings that girls wore as part of a pledge to their virginity to God and family.
More than merely the value of forgoing sex until marriage, purity culture centers sexual purity as a primary measure of the value of young women, who need to remain “pure” to attract a godly man in marriage. Sex education is virtually nonexistent, and dating is traded for “courtship” leading to marriage, under the authority of the girl’s father.
As author Linda Kay Klein writes in her book “Pure,” women are taught that they are responsible not only for their own purity, but for the purity of the males around them. Women are also made to believe that they are responsible if men are led to sin by what women wear. Additionally, they can be blamed for being inadequately submissive and for speaking up when they should be quiet. Women raised with these teachings also report experiencing tremendous fear and shame around issues of gender, sex and marriage.
The rhetoric of purity culture can be traced directly to the racist origins of the Southern Baptist Convention. The defense of slavery was the very foundation upon which the denomination was built, and the protection of the “purity of white womanhood” was a the justification for the perpetuation of white supremacy that outlived slavery.
How survivors described the abuse
Credibly accused men were protected by the SBC, while the women who dared to speak up were called sluts, adulteresses, Jezebels and even agents of Satan. For example, the report details the story of one woman whose abuse was mischaracterized by the SBC’s Baptist Press as a consensual affair and she was harassed online and called an adulteress. She ultimately lost her job at a Southern Baptist organization.
The report, which the former SBC leader Russell Moore calls “apocalyptic,” details harassment, insults and attacks on social media, some of which came from Baptist leaders to whom the women had been taught God required them to revere and submit. For example, the executive staff member at the center of handling abuse accusations, Augie Boto, characterized the survivors seeking justice as doing the work of Satan.
Survivor after survivor described their treatment at the hands of their own leaders as worse than their initial assaults. One survivor told investigators that when she provided details of her sexual abuse as a child among other things, one Executive Committee (EC) member “turn(ed) his back to her while she was speaking … and another EC member chortl(ed).”
“I ask you to try to imagine what it’s like to speak about something so painful to a room in which men disrespect you in such a way. … to speak about this horrific trauma of having my pastor repeatedly rape me as a child, only to have religious leaders behave in this way,” she said.
Shaming and silencing women
When victims are permitted to tell their stories to people in authority, it is likely to be an all-male committee including perhaps friends of the accused.
In such a hearing women – who because of purity culture practices have often been taught to always be modest and quiet in mixed company and may have had little to no sex education – are asked to detail what they often say is the most painful experience of their lives. Purity culture creates in women a strong sense of shame surrounding their bodies, their own sexuality, and sex in general. When they exhibit evidence of that shame it is taken as an admission that they share responsibility for the abuse.
Like their forebears before them who mobilized the mythic purity of white womanhood to shore up their power, today’s leaders at the center of this report remain male and overwhelmingly white. They use the language of purity culture to shame and silence women seeking justice while, at the same time, leading the charge in the fight against coming to terms with racism.
Can there be real reform?
The chairman of the SBC executive committee, Rolland Slade, and interim President and CEO Willie McLaurin said in a statement, in response to the report: “We are grieved by the findings of this investigation. We are committed to doing all we can to prevent future instances of sexual abuse in churches, to improve our response and our care, to remove reporting roadblocks.” Other Baptists too have expressed shock and anger at the revelations.
The Guidepost Solutions report concludes with a series of strategies such as forming an independent committee to oversee reforms, including providing resources for prevention and reporting of abuse. As helpful as these strategies may be, they don’t address how the underlying culture of the SBC continues to maintain the structures of white patriarchy.

HAYES TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Two toddlers have died after being pulled from a pond in northern Michigan.
Troopers found them about 5 p.m. Monday face-down in the water in Otsego County's Hayes Township, the state police said in a release.
Despite life-saving efforts, they later were pronounced dead.
The children — a 2-year-old boy from Elmira and a 2-year-old girl from Gaylord — had been missing about 40 minutes from a location across the street from the pond, according to the state police.

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. (WLS) -- Illinois Congressman Sean Casten's office shared tragic news Monday to announce the death of his daughter, Gwen. She was 17.
The family didn't say how she died, but they are asking for privacy.
In a statement Monday, his office said, "This morning, Congressman Casten's beloved daughter, Gwen (17), passed away. The Casten family requests privacy, and we will be issuing no further comment during this heartbreaking time."
Casten (D, Downers Grove) is currently running for a third term against Congresswoman Marie Newman. The Casten campaign temporarily pulled its TV ads. Newman's campaign is stopping all ads comparing the two candidates.
Newman said in a statement, "My heart breaks for the Casten family for the devastating loss of their daughter. My prayers are with Sean, Kara, and the entire Casten family."

The House Jan. 6 Commission announced Tuesday it's postponing its third hearing from Wednesday to Thursday.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren said the committee staff putting together video evidence needs more time as the panel was slated to hold three hearings this week.
"Putting together the video exhibits is an exhausting exercise for our very small video staff," she told MSNBC's Morning Joe. "It's just too much to put it all together."
A list of witnesses for the hearing has not yet been released. Rep. Liz Cheney, the commission's vice-chair and one of two Republicans on the panel, said the third hearing would focus on how President Donald Trump enlisted Attorney General Bill Barr to assist in the efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Barr's recorded testimony was also prominent during Monday's hearing. The hearing focused on how those around Trump informed him that allegations of a rigged election were false.
"There was an avalanche of all these allegations of fraud...and it was like playing whack-a-mole," Barr told the committee in a recorded statement released during Monday's hearing. "All the early claims that I understood were completely bogus and silly and usually based on complete misinformation."
The committee is slated to hold eight hearings before releasing a final report outlining what led up to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. | https://www.tv20detroit.com/news/national/house-jan-6-commission-postpones-third-hearing-investigating-insurrection | 2022-06-14T14:16:07Z | https://www.tv20detroit.com/news/national/house-jan-6-commission-postpones-third-hearing-investigating-insurrection | false | 11 |
CGT Staffing partners with its clients to navigate rising recruiting spend and inflation.
PITTSBURGH, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With the unemployment rate holding steady at 3.6 percent, wage expectations are evolving, and the time to fill vacant positions is increasing. Coupled with the rising cost of inflation, businesses are struggling to optimize their corporate spend. Attempts to navigate these challenges unsupported often results in costly and inefficient long-term setbacks.
The talent shortage is a pressing concern for businesses of every size. The financial implications of recruiting, particularly in-house, has become a complicated and expensive proposition. Operating independently, corporate recruiters must navigate a remarkably competitive marketplace to source professionals with the requisite skills for their open roles. The necessarily extensive timeline to interview, screen, and onboard viable candidates has driven up recruiting costs considerably over the preceding years. In the same vein, the cost of a poor hiring decision often results in extensive cost implications as well, a consequence of the cost of offboarding and reallocating assets without interrupting workflows.
"We're sensitive to the delicate balance between candidates and clients, and we view ourselves as partners and advocates of both," said Bill Welge, President, and CEO of CGT Staffing. "Knowing that our clients' hiring budgets are a primary concern, we take pride in our singular efforts to efficiently match experienced professionals with the organizations best suited to their talents. Flexible solutions move all businesses forward, and that's what we work to be – flexible. Innovative. And dependable."
The reduction of hiring timelines is beneficial for a number of reasons. In addition to minimizing the necessary expenses of recruiting and its associated HR functions, it also reduces the time spent of filling vacancies, enabling organizations to focus their time and attention on longer-term growth strategies and large-scale risks to profitability.
"We don't take the responsibilities of partnership lightly," said Welge. "We're the conduit for a mutual best fit for both candidate and client, for the long term. We understand that smaller companies look to us to payroll their consultants in order to give them time to gauge talent. We're prepared to support that. Likewise, we understand that larger organizations require the ability to flex workforces quickly. Our talent pool enables us to support that too, always keeping in mind the expense that necessarily follows not paying attention to the details."
Founded in 2009, CGT Staffing is a national full-service staffing firm based in greater Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area.

The Seattle Seahawks have been linked to different quarterbacks in trade rumors all offseason. However, according to one national insider, a potential trade is going to come down to one thing if general manager John Schneider is going to make a move.
Albert Breer from The MMQB made a guest appearance on The Mike Salk Show with Seattle Sports 710 AM to talk about Seattle’s quarterback position. When discussing the possibility of a trade, Breer said that the potential for a move came down to just one thing.
“To me this really comes down to Drew Lock, and what you think of him coming out of the spring,” Breer said. “I would think after nine weeks of the offseason program we would probably know it by now, and the fact that Geno Smith is still getting the lion’s share of the reps with the 1’s and will probably take the first snap of training camp if things remain the way they are, tells me really hasn’t broken through the way that they hoped.”
If Smith is still the established starter in the early stages of training camp, then the Seahawks could ramp up their efforts to trade for a more established quarterback.
Can Drew Lock’s Talent Help Him Become QB1?
While his NFL career may not have started off how we wanted with the Denver Broncos, Lock’s talent should help him compete in training camp for the starting job under center.
Lock was taken in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft by Denver with the expectation of him becoming the team’s long-term starting quarterback. He was a flashy gunslinger at Missouri, even leading the FBS with 44 passing touchdowns in 2017.

The 25-year-old’s rookie season got off to a slow start after suffering a thumb injury that kept him out until November. Once he returned, Lock was able to hold his own, leading the Broncos to a 4-1 record in five starts with seven touchdowns and three interceptions.
Lock looked much worse in his second season in 2020, leading the NFL with 16 interceptions despite only playing 13 games. He lost his starting job last season to Teddy Bridgewater, only starting three games before being traded to the Seahawks this offseason.
The flashes have been there at times, and Lock is hoping that a fresh start in Seattle can help revive his career.
Potential Seahawks QB Trade Targets
As the Seahawks prepare for training camp in July, the two biggest names linked to the team at quarterback are former Cleveland Browns No. 1 pick Baker Mayfield and San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo.
The Seahawks have remained interested in Mayfield throughout the offseason, but the Heisman Trophy winner’s massive salary has made it difficult for the Browns to move him. There was some speculation that the Seahawks were closing in on a potential Mayfield move after the team cleared significant cap space by restructuring Shelby Harris’ contract.
Garoppolo is still waiting to be traded while he rehabs from offseason shoulder surgery. A trade within the division to Seattle seems unlikely, but ESPN’s Louis Riddick suggested that Seahawks could pursue Jimmy G if he’s released.
All of this will depend on how the Seahawks feel about the current quarterbacks on their roster, and whether or not they’re willing to give Lock a chance in 2022. | https://heavy.com/sports/seattle-seahawks/quarterback-trade-drew-lock-baker-mayfield/ | 2022-06-14T14:20:35Z | https://heavy.com/sports/seattle-seahawks/quarterback-trade-drew-lock-baker-mayfield/ | true | 1 |

Government of not 'jumlas' but 'maha jumlas': Rahul Gandhi mocks PM Modi for THIS
After PM Modi announced the recruitment of 10 lakh people in the next year and a half, Congress leader striked at the Centre with a scathing tweet.

New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday took a swipe at the Centre over its announcement of recruitment of 10 lakh people in the next year and a half, saying this is a government of not 'jumlas' but 'maha jumlas'.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked various government departments and ministries to undertake the recruitment of 10 lakh people on a "mission mode" in the next year and a half, his office said on Tuesday.
The direction from Modi came following a review of the status of human resource in all government departments and ministries, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said.
Reacting to the announcement, Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi, "Just like eight years ago the youth were deceived with a promise of 2 crore jobs every year, in the same manner it is now the turn of 10 lakh government jobs."
जैसे 8 साल पहले युवाओं को हर साल 2 करोड़ नौकरियों का झांसा दिया था, वैसे ही अब 10 लाख सरकारी नौकरियों की बारी है।
ये जुमलों की नहीं, 'महा जुमलों' की सरकार है।
प्रधानमंत्री जी नौकरियां बनाने में नहीं, नौकरियों पर 'News' बनाने में एक्सपर्ट हैं। — Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) June 14, 2022
"This is a government of not 'jumlas' (rhetoric) but 'maha jumlas'," the former Congress chief said. The prime minister is not an expert at creating jobs, but in creating "news" over jobs, Gandhi alleged.

SEOUL, South Korea, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- J INTS BIO announced that it will be presenting the preclinical results of its NSCLC candidate 'JIN-A02' at the upcoming 2022 IASLC World Conference on Lung Cancer, to be held in Vienna, Austria from 6th to 9th August.
'JIN-A02' is a novel orally administered 4th generation EGFR TKI that targets NSCLC cancers harboring C797S mutation. C797S is a mutation that occurs after the use of 3rd generation EGFR TKIs such as Osimertinib and Lazertinib, resulting in tumor resistance and disease progression.
According to J INTS BIO, 'JIN-A02' showed strong inhibitory activities against NSCLC cancer cell-lines harboring double and triple mutations with C797S mutations in in-vitro studies. In particular, 'JIN-A02" showed robust inhibition against double mutations (Ex19Del/C797S or L858R/C797S), which with the increasing use of 3rd generation EGFR-TKIs as First Line therapy worldwide, will soon become the dominant mutations leading to resistance and disease progression.
In addition, 'JIN-A02' also effectively reduced tumor volume in a dose-dependent manner, compared to Osimertinib, in mouse model harboring EGFR Ex19Del/T790M/C797S triple mutation cancers and exhibited high brain penetrance with efficacy.
A company official added that 'JIN-A02' demonstrated a favorable safety profile with a low propensity for cardiotoxicity and did not show significant toxic effects such as weight loss and cytotoxicity in animal models at therapeutic dose levels. It is therefore expected to be a highly valued new drug in the armamentarium for the treatment of NSCLC.
Dr Anna Jo, CEO J INTS BIO, said: "We are determined to rapidly advance our novel NSCLC pipeline program, and to overcome the limitations of developing or approved treatments through rigorous R&D, so as to improve the outcomes of patients around the world who suffered from NSCLC with limited or no viable alternative treatments."

CGT Staffing partners with its clients to navigate rising recruiting spend and inflation.
PITTSBURGH, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With the unemployment rate holding steady at 3.6 percent, wage expectations are evolving, and the time to fill vacant positions is increasing. Coupled with the rising cost of inflation, businesses are struggling to optimize their corporate spend. Attempts to navigate these challenges unsupported often results in costly and inefficient long-term setbacks.
The talent shortage is a pressing concern for businesses of every size. The financial implications of recruiting, particularly in-house, has become a complicated and expensive proposition. Operating independently, corporate recruiters must navigate a remarkably competitive marketplace to source professionals with the requisite skills for their open roles. The necessarily extensive timeline to interview, screen, and onboard viable candidates has driven up recruiting costs considerably over the preceding years. In the same vein, the cost of a poor hiring decision often results in extensive cost implications as well, a consequence of the cost of offboarding and reallocating assets without interrupting workflows.
"We're sensitive to the delicate balance between candidates and clients, and we view ourselves as partners and advocates of both," said Bill Welge, President, and CEO of CGT Staffing. "Knowing that our clients' hiring budgets are a primary concern, we take pride in our singular efforts to efficiently match experienced professionals with the organizations best suited to their talents. Flexible solutions move all businesses forward, and that's what we work to be – flexible. Innovative. And dependable."
The reduction of hiring timelines is beneficial for a number of reasons. In addition to minimizing the necessary expenses of recruiting and its associated HR functions, it also reduces the time spent of filling vacancies, enabling organizations to focus their time and attention on longer-term growth strategies and large-scale risks to profitability.
"We don't take the responsibilities of partnership lightly," said Welge. "We're the conduit for a mutual best fit for both candidate and client, for the long term. We understand that smaller companies look to us to payroll their consultants in order to give them time to gauge talent. We're prepared to support that. Likewise, we understand that larger organizations require the ability to flex workforces quickly. Our talent pool enables us to support that too, always keeping in mind the expense that necessarily follows not paying attention to the details."
Founded in 2009, CGT Staffing is a national full-service staffing firm based in greater Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area.

WASHINGTON, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The CFP Board Center for Financial Planning ("Center") announced today that it has named psychologist and financial educator Matt Goren, Ph.D., CFP® as its Director of Knowledge for Practice, effective June 27. In this role, Goren will lead the development, curation and dissemination of financial planning knowledge to strengthen the academic foundations for the financial planning profession.
"Matt is an accomplished psychologist and financial planner with an exceptional background in designing and developing curriculums in CFP® certification education," said CFP Board CEO Kevin R. Keller, CAE. "With his focus on the interplay of personal finance and psychology, Matt has already helped train more than 10,000 advisors. In his new role with the Center, he will continue to deploy his skills in advancing the financial planning profession and helping CFP® professionals excel in their careers and deliver outstanding service to clients."
Based in CFP Board's Washington, D.C. headquarters, Goren will oversee all instructional programs, including initiatives that facilitate an increase in the number and diversity of faculty needed to teach at CFP Board Registered Programs. He will also lead the programming and implementation of the Academic Research Colloquium, the Center's annual international meeting of researchers, practitioners, graduate students and leaders of financial planning practice. In addition, Goren will be instrumental in raising the visibility of and ensuring the dissemination of knowledge through the Financial Planning Review and other publications.
Goren was recently named to the 2022 InvestmentNews class of 40 Under 40, where the publication asked "Who better to educate future financial planners on the psychology of money than a psychologist and financial planner?"
"CFP® certification was my first entry into financial planning. My business professor said to me 'If you want to be taken seriously as a financial planner, you need to get your CFP® certification,' so I did," said Goren. "I'm thrilled to now join CFP Board, the organization I've held in such high regard for over a decade, and I look forward to bringing the best practices from academia and industry to further advance the programs and initiatives of the Center for Financial Planning."
Goren joins CFP Board from The American College of Financial Services, where he served as Assistant Professor of Financial Planning and CFP® Certification Education Program Director for one of the most successful CFP Board Registered Programs.
Formerly a professor at the University of Georgia (UGA) and the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), Goren has created and taught courses on topics ranging from investments to cultural psychology and statistics. At UGA, he quadrupled enrollment in the financial planning major's introductory course, and his team at UGA's ASPIRE Clinic was honored with a Pro Bono Advisors of the Year Award from Financial Planning Magazine. He is also a regular columnist at Kiplinger.com and was creator and producer of the NPR radio show "Nothing Funny About Money," which won the Association for Financial Counseling & Planning Education's Best Consumer Financial Information Award in 2018.
Goren holds a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology from the University of Florida, a Master of Science degree in social psychology from the University of Georgia and a Ph.D. in social psychology from UC Berkeley.

Thousands of Americans who had been priced out of routine medical care
are now accessing the highest quality physicians at a fraction of the typical cost,
exclusively in the Sesame Marketplace
Led by CEO David Goldhill, a transformative figure in US healthcare policy
and reform, Sesame has now raised $75 million to-date
NEW YORK, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sesame, the only company proven to lower the price of medical care for American consumers, today announced that it has raised $27 million in Series B financing to expand its national marketplace of high-quality, ultra-affordable medical care for all Americans, whether they are insured or not.
The round was led by GV (formerly Google Ventures), and Cathy Friedman, Executive Venture Partner at GV, will join the Sesame board of directors. Virgin Group, TeleSoft Partners and FMZ Ventures also participated in the round as new investors, alongside existing investors General Catalyst, Industry Ventures, Coefficient Capital, Giant Ventures and Alumni Ventures Group.
By using innovation to succeed where legislation and bureaucracy have failed, Sesame delivers half-price, whole quality medical care, assuring that no American is priced out of accessing the primary and specialized care they need. In fact, the average price paid for care in the Sesame Marketplace is less than $40, while the company maintains a Net Promoter Score of 87 (considered world class), and nearly 80% of physicians in the Sesame Marketplace have 5-star reviews.
"The same high quality care from the same world-class physicians at a fraction of the typical price; this is the radical innovation that is Sesame," said David Goldhill, Sesame co-founder and CEO, and the author of The Real Costs of American Health Care. "By stripping out all the cost and complexity of insurance, physicians offer care on Sesame at prices that are roughly half of what is typical. The quality of our investors is a testament to the power of this innovation."
"Sesame provides greater access to healthcare for a meaningful percentage of the population, and we're inspired by the company's mission to drive better patient outcomes for underserved communities," said Cathy Friedman, Executive Venture Partner at GV. "Sesame presents a compelling opportunity to develop a dynamic marketplace at a scale unlike any in the current U.S. healthcare ecosystem. We're thrilled to partner with David Goldhill and the entire Sesame team as they move into this next phase of growth."
According to the 2020 US census, 28 million Americans still do not have health insurance. At the same time, according to research, 52.9% of American workers covered by private health insurance through their employer were enrolled in high-deductible health plans (HDHP) in 2020, an increase of more than 33 percent in just five years.
Sesame is a two-sided marketplace populated by physicians and patients only. As with other online marketplaces, consumers can research and shop for a physician – and book an appointment – with the same price transparency and zero-friction they experience when making other purchases.
By virtue of these marketplace dynamics, Sesame saw prices for all manner of care types drop as much as 67 percent in 2021. Sesame offers complete, longitudinal health care delivered either in-person or via telehealth, and includes primary care, acute consults and chronic care management, specialty medicine, dentistry, labs, imaging and more – all for as little as $25 per visit nationwide.
Health care providers in the marketplace leverage Sesame's tools for maximizing the value of their time and equipment, just as in any other industry, to offer variable pricing based on peak and off-peak windows.
In addition to using the proceeds to accelerate the company's growth, Sesame will use the Series B proceeds to evolve its Sesame membership product from beta into general availability. The Sesame membership works on a monthly subscription basis, and entitles its members to free services, deep discounts and exclusive access to all of the everyday care services that matter most: primary care visits, prescriptions, dental, labs, imaging and more. The beta launched in November 2021 and has seen tremendous traction among Sesame patients, who book 33 percent more appointments than non-members.
Sesame is the healthcare marketplace that delivers "half-price health care" to Americans who have been priced out of the everyday care they need. With thousands of healthcare providers - covering all 50 states and every major health category - the Sesame marketplace has driven prices on dozens of common health care types down by as much as 67 percent. Sesame lowers prices, but not quality standards, by applying technology to build a marketplace that gives consumers the most choice, convenience and quality at the best price. This allows providers to focus purely on patient care, and make the most of their training, time and equipment. For more information, please visit www.sesamecare.com.

One of The World's Prestigious Hospitals
Applied UV, Inc. (NasdaqCM: AUVI ) ("Applied UV" or the "Company"), a pathogen elimination technology company that applies the power of narrow-range ultraviolet light ("UVC") for surface areas and catalytic bioconversion technology for air purification to destroy pathogens safely, thoroughly, and automatically, announces that its wholly owned subsidiary SteriLumen has just installed its patented LumiCide Surface and Drain UVC Disinfecting Systems initially, in 17 patient rooms within the world renowned Mt. Sinai Medical Center Morningside. Mount Sinai Morningside , formerly known as Mount Sinai St. Luke's, is a teaching hospital located in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City.
Mt. Sinai plans to publish the results in an Academic Paper later this summer which would further validate the previously obtained independent results conducted by ResInnova Laboratories. This validation could facilitate the adoption of our LumiCide Surface and Drain disinfection solutions throughout healthcare facilities globally.
Mount Sinai Morningside is affiliated with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Mount Sinai Health System, a nonprofit hospital system formed by the merger of Continuum Health Partners and the Mount Sinai Medical Center in September 2013. It provides general medical and surgical facilities, ambulatory care, and a Level 2 Trauma Center, verified by the American College of Surgeons. It operates 21 clinics and as of 2020, is nationally ranked by U.S. News & World Report .
John F. Andrews Applied UV's CEO and Director stated, "We welcome Mt. Sinai Medical Center to the Applied UV Family. The addition of this premier, globally recognized, and respected teaching institution to our growing list of leading hospitals who place their trust in our patented disinfection products (both air and surface) is further testament to the proven effectiveness but also, too the growing interest of globally recognized brands and companies who use our family of solutions to protect their facilities, employees, and products from harmful airborne and surface related pathogens. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with the Mt. Sinai team."
The LumiCide Disinfection System product line has the following attributes:
- Focus on the sink area and drain . Focuses on pathogens that accumulate on the sink area, including handles, faucets and backsplash and in the drain.
- UVC LED Pathogen Destruction . Destroys 4 logs (99.99%) some of the most dangerous pathogens like COVID 19, MERSA C'diff, in the bathroom vanity/sink area with at least two hours of continuous use.
- Automatic operation . Built-in programmable controller that ensures operation for the full required daily time and is not dependent on manual operation.
- Continuous operation . Works in cycles of two hour on and four hours off, except for the disinfecting drain which is on 15 minutes every hour. The timing protocol is managed by a programmable controller and a motion detector enclosed within each device and works while the room is still occupied and while the bathroom is not in use, therefore, continuously disinfecting an area of ongoing high contamination.
- Safety . Built-in motion detector and sensor automatically shuts off the UVC light when anyone enters the room eliminating any concern over UV safety. Once there is no movement in the room for 10 minutes the UVC light comes back on to restart and continue its cycle.
- Removable UVC LED panel . The UVC LEDs are installed via a removable panel, leading to ease of replacement or upgrade.
- Ease of Installation . The unit is easy to install and uses standard electrical wiring.
- IOT connectivity . IOT connectivity uses Wi-Fi and RF technology that will enable continuous transmission of use and functionality data over the Internet for collection and analysis.
Applied UV's internal research and research provided by the CDC estimates that each year about 1 in 25 U.S. hospital patients (approximately 1.4M Americans) are diagnosed with at least one infection related to hospital care alone and additional infections occur in other healthcare settings. Approximately 900,000 Americans die each year due to complications associated with Hospital Acquired Infections. Many HAI's are caused by the most urgent and serious antibiotic -resistant (AR) bacteria and my lead to sepsis of death. According to NIH, Healthcare-associated infections are known to increase the length of stay, health care costs, and mortality. Each year the top 5 healthcare-associated infections result in about $9.8 billion costs.

ROME (AP) — Pope Francis has complained that traditionalist Catholics, particularly in the United States, are “gagging” the church’s modernizing reforms and insisted that there was no turning back.
Francis told a gathering of Jesuit editors in comments published Tuesday that he was convinced that some Catholics simply have never accepted the Second Vatican Council, the meetings of the 1960s that led to Mass being celebrated in the vernacular rather than Latin and revolutionized the church’s relations with people of other faiths, among other things.
“The number of groups of ‘restorers’ – for example, in the United States there are many – is significant,” Francis told the editors, according to excerpts published by the Jesuit journal La Civilta Cattolica.
“Restorationism has come to gag the council,” he said, adding that he knew some priests for whom the 16th century Council of Trent was more memorable than the 20th century Vatican II.
Traditionalists have become some of Francis’ fiercest critics, accusing him of heresy for his opening to divorced and civilly remarried Catholics, outreach to gay Catholics and other reforms. Francis has taken an increasingly hard line against them, re-imposing restrictions on celebrating the old Latin Mass and taking specific action in dioceses and religious orders where traditionalists have resisted his reforms.
Just last week, in a meeting with Sicilian clergy, Francis told the priests that it wasn't always appropriate to use “grandma's lace” in their vestments and to update their liturgical garb to be in touch with current times and follow in the spirit of Vatican II.
“It is also true that it takes a century for a council to take root. We still have forty years to make it take root, then!” he told the editors.
Speaking about the church in Germany, Francis also warned that he still had an offer of resignation in hand for the archbishop of Cologne, Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki, who faced strong criticism for his handling of the church’s sexual abuse scandal.
Francis gave Woelki a “time out” of several months last September, but still hasn’t definitively ruled on his future. That has kept the situation in Cologne uncertain and frustrated the head of the German bishops’ conference, who has pressed for a decision one way or the other.
“When the situation was very turbulent, I asked the archbishop to go away for six months, so that things would calm down and I could see clearly,” Francis said. “When he came back, I asked him to write a resignation letter. He did and gave it to me. And he wrote an apology letter to the diocese. I left him in his place to see what would happen, but I have his resignation in hand.” | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/pope-says-traditionalist-catholics-gag-church-reforms/FC6ZUVHORVFB3IZAILS2VKFHOQ/ | 2022-06-14T14:37:15Z | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/pope-says-traditionalist-catholics-gag-church-reforms/FC6ZUVHORVFB3IZAILS2VKFHOQ/ | false | 32 |

Tyson Fury says ‘money not tempting’ and rubbishes talk of retirement U-turn
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Tyson FuryBritish boxer (born 1988)
- Oleksandr UsykUkrainian boxer
- Dillian WhyteBritish boxer
Tyson Fury has conceded he can “never say never” about a boxing return, but rubbished the idea that he could be tempted back by the prospect of a domestic heavyweight super-fight against Anthony Joshua.
Fury announced his retirement after his knockout win over Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April and emphatically dismissed rumours last week that talks had already begun to face the winner of Joshua’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
In an interview with the PA news agency, Fury said he was proud to retire as an undefeated champion, and was shifting his focus to exhibition bouts and a global speaking tour which will kick off with a series of British dates this month.
Fury said: “There’s always going to be that clamour – even when Joshua and Usyk are finished and there’s new contenders and champions, they will always ask Tyson Fury to come back as undefeated champion and fight these people.
“But rumours are rumours. Until I say that I’m actually doing a fight, take me at my word. For now I’m done with professional boxing and I’ve moved on to other things, but you can never say never. You never know what the future holds.”
The 33-year-old has declared he has zero interest in a money-spinning clash with Joshua, even in what he considers to be the unlikely event that the former Olympic champion gains revenge for last year’s unanimous decision loss to the Ukrainian when they fight again in March.
“Anthony Joshua’s bubble has burst,” Fury said, reflecting on Joshua’s defeats to Andy Ruiz Jr and Usyk. “He’s been bounced off the canvas by a little fat fella, then he’s been comprehensively outboxed and battered by a middleweight who nobody had heard of until he beat AJ.
“I don’t see what the big clamour is. If he’d been undefeated like (Deontay) Wilder, and everyone thought he could batter me, then it’s challenging. Joshua might need me but I don’t need him, nor what he can bring.
“The only thing these fighters come back for is the money. As Clark Gable said in many movies, quite frankly, I don’t give a damn.
“The money is not tempting to me. I live in Morecambe and shop in Asda, and if I had a trillion dollars I couldn’t live any differently to the way I live now.
“There’s nothing I want or need from a comeback. I’ve won every belt in boxing, every award there is to win. There is nothing at this present moment that would tempt me back.”
Instead, Fury is likely to focus any return to the ring on a series of exhibition bouts, including a potential contest against Francis Ngannou, with an announcement believed to be imminent.
But Fury says he takes much more satisfaction in helping fans protect and improve their mental health – something that will be integral to his message when he takes his ‘Official After Party’ tour on the road beginning in Derby on June 22.
“This tour is a great opportunity for me to meet fans and fellow mental health sufferers,” Fury added. “It will be a great insight into being totally mentally broken and then making your way back up to the top of the ladder.
“It is a fantastic story because how many times do you see people who suffer mental breakdowns dying or nearly killing themselves like I nearly did? It’s great to be able to tell this story with a positive ending.
“Heavyweight boxing is sport and a way of earning a living, but unless you’re a doctor, it’s not often that you get to save people’s lives.
“To save one life is fantastic – to help thousands or millions of others is even better. It gives me more excitement than any sport could ever do. I’m overwhelmed with the success it’s had in helping people who are recovering, and smashing the stigma around mental health.”
In the meantime, Fury says he is braced for the inevitable pressure from fans and other interested parties to return to the ring for decades to come.
“Boxing is full of fighters who went on too long and lost to people they should never have lost to,” he added. “One thing I don’t want to do is make the same mistakes that they did. It’s better to get out early than stay for one second too long.
“I understand it, because these fighters will never get out of my shadow, and will never be able to walk in my shoes.
“They’ll never find someone else who can sing, run, dance and back everything up that he says, someone who can fill out arenas everywhere they go.
“Everything I’ve ever needed to do, I’ve done – got off the floor to win fights, stepped onto the world’s biggest stage and delivered every time. It’s been a long time waiting for a fighter like me, and it’ll be an even longer time afterwards.” | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/tyson-fury-says-money-not-142004855.html?src=rss | 2022-06-14T14:38:39Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/tyson-fury-says-money-not-142004855.html?src=rss | false | 14 |
The Young Students of London Want to Save the Planet and Preserve English Craftsmanship
LONDON — It’s the end of term for fashion students across U.K. universities and it’s a moment to celebrate after being confined to their homes for the past two years.
The young graduates of Ravensbourne University London and University of Westminster showed their collections alongside the London Fashion Week men’s calendar.
More from WWD
At Ravensbourne, the designers let loose, taking inspiration from mundane everyday items to creating their own fantasy world that their pieces fit into.
Ravensbourne University London
Standouts included Alessandro M. Raso, who showed deconstructed athleisure from the kitchen. “The inspiration behind the show was a character I built of a chef, based on my own upbringing as the son of restaurant owners observing the dangerous and chaotic kitchen,” he said.
Meanwhile, fellow student Lillian Clark, welcomed in the party with fluorescent body plates. Xander Jones let the monsters out with a fictional character printed onto sweaters and hoofs stomping the runway.
Over at University of Westminster, the pressure and spotlight was on for the students, as alumni Steven Stokey-Daley of S.S. Daley became the first winner of the 2022 edition of the LVMH Prize for Young Designers earlier this month.
The students had strong sustainablility credentials that hints at a green future for them all.
“Everything is made from upcycled kites, parachutes and wetsuits,” said Yani Bridge, behind the brand Yani B, who is an avid kitesurfer and skydiver. All the materials in her collection were sourced from a Facebook community she found online.
Her classmate Lily Mae Willan dedicated her graduate collection to all the influential men in her life and being from the north of England, which is where all of her fabrics were sourced from: deadstock tailoring and yarns from Yorkshire; silks from a supplier in Bradford, and the selvedge denim is from Hewitt Heritage Mills, which is the only mill that weaves denim in the U.K.
All the bags in her collection are inspired by her uncle, who would “come to work with a carrier bag as a bag and then he bought a proper bag that everyone took the p–s out of.”
Another graduate, Owen Edward Smith, based his collection on his fisherman grandad from Dunbar, Scotland.
All the fabrics from the collection were from Scotland — handwoven wool that he could only get 12 meters at a time — to all the handmade jewelry.
When beginning the collection, he made a conscious decision to “branch into this community of crafters” in Scotland to bridge the gap between them and the metropolitan industry because “there’s a lot of dying trades there.”
“There’s still people sitting at home hand making things and their careers are on the line because of this movement into tech. There’s no reason why handcrafts can’t go hand in hand with modern tech,” he said.
Edward Smith designed his own official tartan that’s registered on The Scottish Register of Tartans with the different colored threads representing the LGBTQ community and fishing nets.

She can be seen screaming and crying out in pain but no one comes in support to save her.
By: Chandrashekar Bhat
In a recent shocking incident from Madhya Pradesh, India, a Domino’s Pizza female employee in Indore was brutally beaten up by a group of 4 women from a local gang. Video of the incident went viral on social media within minutes after being uploaded.
In the video, the Domino’s Pizza employee can be seen screaming and crying out in pain but no one comes in support to save her, rather than just watch her getting verbally and physically abused by the stick and bare hands of 4 local women, who were allegedly a part of a local gang.

I hope you’re providing legal assistance to this girl who’s been assaulted on duty. Hope you help her in filing an assault case against these hooligans.
Take action @MPPoliceOnline pic.twitter.com/kVE9O7Sce3
The pizza chain employee in the video says “She will file a police complaint” to which one of the lady goons replies “Go call the police”. The lady then tried to save her life by entering a nearby residence.
Soon after the assault video got viral on social media, many people criticized the group of women beating and abusing an innocent lady so badly and requested the MP Police to register a complaint against all the assaulters in the video and demanded a fair probe into the case.
The violent video is said to be shared by the local gang itself on social media.
The reason behind, why the employee got brutally beaten up is still unknown.

Dramatic video shows large house collapsing into Yellowstone River amid historic floods
A visitor from Indiana captured dramatic video of a waterfront house in Montana being swept away in a river as a torrent of rain combined with a rapidly melting snowpack caused a deluge of flooding in Yellowstone National Park.
At a cabin in Gardiner, Parker Manning got an up-close view of the water rising and the river bank sloughing off in the raging Yellowstone River floodwaters just outside his door.
On Monday evening, Manning watched as the rushing waters undercut the opposite riverbank, causing a house to fall into the Yellowstone River and float away mostly intact.
"We started seeing entire trees floating down the river, debris," Manning told The Associated Press. "Saw one crazy single kayaker coming down through, which was kind of insane."
The Yellowstone River at Corwin Springs crested at 13.88 feet Monday, higher than the previous record of 11.5 feet set in 1918, according the National Weather Service.
Manning posted more photos and video of the flooding on Facebook, writing: "Crazy times in Gardiner MT."
The flooding triggered evacuations, cut off electricity and forced Yellowstone officials to close all entrances indefinitely, just as the summer tourist season was ramping up.
While numerous homes and other structures were destroyed, there were no immediate reports of injuries. Yellowstone officials said they were assessing damage from the storms, which washed away bridges, caused mudslides and left small cities isolated, forcing evacuations by boat and helicopter.
It's unclear how many visitors are stranded or have been forced to leave the park and how many residents outside the park have been rescued and evacuated.
Some of the worst damage happened in the northern part of the park and Yellowstone's gateway communities in southern Montana. National Park Service photos of northern Yellowstone showed a mudslide, washed out bridges and roads undercut by churning floodwaters of the Gardner and Lamar rivers.
The flooding cut off road access to Gardiner, a town of about 900 people near the confluence of the Yellowstone and Gardner rivers, just outside Yellowstone's busy North Entrance. Cooke City was also isolated by floodwaters and evacuations were also issued for residents in Livingston.
Officials in Park County, which encompasses those cities, said on Facebook Monday evening that extensive flooding throughout the county also had made drinking water unsafe in many areas. Evacuations and rescues were ongoing and officials urged people who were in a safe place to stay put overnight.
The Montana National Guard said Monday it sent two helicopters to southern Montana to help with the evacuations.
Cory Mottice, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Billings, Montana, said rain is not in the immediate forecast, and cooler temperatures will lessen the snowmelt in coming days.
"This is flooding that we've just never seen in our lifetimes before," Mottice said.
Floodwaters inundated a street in Red Lodge, a Montana town of 2,100 that's a popular jumping-off point for a scenic, winding route into the Yellowstone high country. Twenty-five miles to the northeast, in Joliet, Kristan Apodaca wiped away tears as she stood across the street from a washed-out bridge, The Billings Gazette reported.
The log cabin that belonged to her grandmother, who died in March, flooded, as did the park where Apodaca's husband proposed.
"I am sixth-generation. This is our home," she said. "That bridge I literally drove yesterday. My mom drove it at 3 a.m. before it was washed out."
On Monday, Yellowstone officials evacuated the northern part of the park, where roads may remain impassable for a substantial length of time, park Superintendent Cam Sholly said in a statement.
But the flooding affected the rest of the park, too, with park officials warning of yet higher flooding and potential problems with water supplies and wastewater systems at developed areas.
The rains hit during the high tourism season. June, at the onset of an annual wave of over 3 million visitors that doesn't abate until fall, is one of Yellowstone's busiest months.
Yellowstone got 2.5 inches of rain Saturday, Sunday and into Monday. The Beartooth Mountains northeast of Yellowstone got as much as 4 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
In south-central Montana, flooding on the Stillwater River stranded 68 people at a campground. Stillwater County Emergency Services agencies and crews with the Stillwater Mine rescued people Monday from the Woodbine Campground by raft. Some roads in the area are closed because of flooding and residents have been evacuated.
"We will be assessing the loss of homes and structures when the waters recede," the sheriff's office said in a statement.

CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Naturepedic, leading GOTS-certified organic, MADE SAFE-certified nontoxic mattress and bedding brand, is thrilled to announce its EOS® (Ergonomic Organic Sleep) Classic Organic Mattress has been selected as the "Cutting Edge Customization" winner in the Incomparable Mattress category for Good Housekeeping's 2022 Best Bedding Awards. This is the second year in a row that a unique EOS customizable organic mattress has received a prestigious bedding award from Good Housekeeping.
Good Housekeeping scientists, material engineers and home editors evaluated hundreds of bedding items in the GH Lab, testing for aspects like quality, innovation, convenience, value and sustainability. Outside the Lab, more than 500 at-home sleep testers evaluated the products this year. Consumer testers scored products on comfort, support, temperature regulation, ease of use, and appearance.
The Naturepedic EOS® Classic Organic Mattress was picked for its unique, customizable design, its use of organic, nontoxic materials, and because of the modular design that conveniently arrives in multiple boxes for assembly. Its innovative, multi-layered zipper design adds convenience, flexibility, and longevity, allowing customers to swap out firmness layers for a different sleep experience at any point in time as preferences and lifestyles change. The EOS® Classic can be customized on each side of the bed to suit individual comfort preferences, ranging from extra firm to plush, giving the consumer five choices on one side, and five different choices on the other side. Additionally and designed never to be replaced, the inventive EOS® mattress concept is ultimately the most sustainable on the market, saving a significant number of discarded mattresses from landfills.
Good Housekeeping's testers loved the personalization and motion isolation that the EOSÒ Classic offered. One tester noted, "I love that it's organic and I'm not sleeping on a bed of chemicals."
Made with certified organic cotton, latex and wool along with adhesive-free encased coils and plant-based PLA, the EOS® Classic is handcrafted in the USA, utilizing healthier, safer materials. This eliminates the need for flame retardant chemicals or barriers while still passing all government flammability requirements, along with other questionable chemicals and materials found in conventional mattresses such as polyurethane foam, formaldehyde, GMOs, glues/adhesives, and other questionable materials or chemicals that do not meet their standards.
In a study conducted earlier this year with 800 adults to determine how sleeping separately or together impacts their relationship, over 40% of couples who share a bed reported that sleep issues, like mattress comfort and motion transfer, have caused them to question their relationship.
"The EOS® Classic, part of the Naturepedic EOS Series, changes people's lives," comments Arin Schultz, Sr. Director of Sales and Marketing for Naturepedic, "Being able to take control of their own sleep comfort, independently of their sleep partner certainly reduces stress and improves sleep quality," he adds, "To have our EOS® organic mattresses recognized by Good Housekeeping, one of the most reputable and prestigious organizations in the country, two years in a row is especially gratifying."
Leading the organic mattress revolution for over 18 years, all Naturepedic mattress products for babies, kids, and adults, are certified organic by GOTS and certified non-toxic by MADE SAFE. They are also certified to the GREENGUARD Gold and UL Formaldehyde-Free standards and eliminate questionable materials and chemicals found in most conventional mattresses while meeting and exceeding the highest level of certifications available in the marketplace. All Naturepedic products meet organic (and non-toxic) standards.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg and a small group of leaders from alliance countries are meeting in the Netherlands to discuss Russia's war in Ukraine and to prepare for a summit in Spain later this month.
The informal gathering is being held Tuesday evening at Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte's official residence at The Hague and co-hosted by Danish counterpart Mette Frederiksen. The other leaders attending were Romania's president, and the prime ministers of Belgium, Poland, Portugal and Latvia.
Against a backdrop of war on the alliance’s eastern edge, the talks will likely also address applications by Sweden and Finland to join the alliance. Both countries applied in May to join NATO after decades of military non-alignment. That changed after Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has vetoed their entry until the two countries change their policies on supporting Kurdish militants deemed by Ankara to be terrorists.
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.”
The meeting is the latest round of international diplomacy before a June 29-30 NATO summit in Madrid.
Latvian Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins told a local radio program on Tuesday that he hopes — and expects — that the strengthening of the eastern flank, particularly in the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania that all border Russia, will be discussed over dinner in The Hague.
The issue is relevant to the governments in Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius, which have long sought a permanent presence of NATO troops on their territories following Russia’s military maneuvers in the region in the past several years and substantially increased the appeals since Moscow's invasion.
In the interview with Latvian Radio, cited by the Baltic News Service, Karins stressed that it was important his NATO colleagues have a similar understanding of the need to strengthen security in the Baltic region.
The meeting in The Hague follows a gathering Friday in Bucharest of nine NATO nations on the alliance’s eastern flank where some leaders urged NATO to step up protection in light of Russia’s protracted war against Ukraine.
“We need to make sure that NATO is able and prepared to respond effectively and calibrated to the threats it faces,” Romanian President Klaus Iohannis told reporters after Friday’s meeting. “The alliance needs to be able to defend every inch of its territory.”
Three NATO members — Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey — border the Black Sea, which has turned into a key battleground in the war in Ukraine.

The company's all-new Ultra-Short-Throw projector.
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Philips Projection is delighted to announce the launch of the Philips Screeneo U4, an ultra-short-throw projector that provides an 80" True Full HD picture while positioned as close as 12" (30.5cm) away.
Exclusively available for pre-order on the online innovation platform, Indiegogo, the Screeneo U4 has already received great interest from thousands of backers. The Indiegogo supporters who participate in this venture unite around the company's vision of democratizing innovation, and they now have the chance to see the finished product come to life.
"After witnessing the runaway success experienced by the Screeneo U3, we understood from the get-go that the Philips Screeneo U4 would need to take ultra-short-throw projector technology further, all the while in a more compact design. We believe it ticks all the boxes for providing users picture precision and versatility, perfect for movie marathons and gaming sessions," said Dan Mamane, President of Screeneo Innovation SA.
The Philips Screeneo U4 provides a true cinematic experience at home and is perfect for your bedroom, kitchen, study, or living room. Optimize your space and get the most out of every square inch of your home as you can position the projector less than a foot away from the projection screen. When placing the projector 7.7in (19.5cm) from the wall, you get a 60" (152cm) image while 12in (30.5cm) gets you a massive 80" picture.
The Screeneo U4 is quick and painless to set up in seconds. The fast autofocus, auto-keystone, and 4-corner correction eliminate crooked and distorted images for a perfectly proportioned picture even if the device is not straight in front of the wall.
Screeneo U4 tuning reaches 108% Rec.709 HDTV standard color coverage ensuring an incredible image performance that delivers sharp and crisp visuals. Engineered with AMlogic T972 CPU pictures, the HDR10 colors remain lifelike with outstanding full high-definition sharpness for text.
With an incredible True Full HD 1080p, HDR10, and leveraging XPR technology, the Screeneo U4 delivers impeccable picture accuracy and clarity. Texas Instrument DLP cinema technology also brings vivid pictures, deep contrast, and a bright image in any condition. The powerful LED light source lasts up to 30,000 hours, with the power consumption far lower than a regular lamp-based projector.
The projector incorporates two HDMI 2.0, a USB-A and a Jack 3.5 so that you can connect all your devices. You can link your gaming consoles, Apple TV, laptops, or TV receivers to the HDMI ports. Thanks to the USB-A power port, you don't even need an extra adapter for your streaming devices such as Amazon Fire Stick, or Roku: plug it into the HDMI and USB port, and you're ready to go.
Users will enjoy a fully immersive movie and music experience with the surround and bass boost, a booming 2x15 watts design, and 2.1 sound system. Thanks to the Dual Bluetooth audio function, you will also be able to listen to your audio on two different Bluetooth devices at once (speakers or earphones) or even turn your projector into a boombox, enjoying tunes with or without video.
Comprising a modern and compact design, with full dark matte blending aluminum and ABS, the Screeneo U4 seamlessly blends into your home.
The Philips Screeneo U4, comes with an international charger and a remote control and is available from 14th May 2022 starting from 599 EUR exclusively on Indiegogo.

A person wearing a ski mask and sunglasses in a car tied to a recent carjacking led police on a chase that ended in a crash in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood, police said.
The vehicle had been involved in a recent carjacking, according to Massachusetts State Police. A trooper spotted it and tried to stop the vehicle, but the driver didn't.
The chase came to an end when the vehicle crashed into three others, police said. The driver tried to run but was arrested at Morrissey Boulevard and Freeport Street.
Police didn't immediately share the driver's name or more information about the carjacking. It wasn't clear if anyone was hurt in the crash, which left several vehicles visibly damaged.

Rivera fined Del Rio because of 'distraction' Del Rio created originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
Ron Rivera took to the podium at Commanders headquarters Tuesday to elaborate on his decision to fine Jack Del Rio $100,000 after the defensive coordinator's recent comments where he compared the 2020 racial justice protests to the 2021 Capitol insurrection.
"Just so everybody understands, this is not the fact that he exercised his right to free speech," Rivera said. "This is about what impacted the football team, OK?
"This is about the impact that was made on our football team, the distraction it has become. It's a very serious question and topic but at the end of the day, it did impact us and that's why I did what I did."
Rivera chose to fine Del Rio last Friday for remarks that came last Wednesday.
On Wednesday, Del Rio told reporters in a press conference that he believes there are "two standards" and that the nationwide Black Lives Matter demonstrations weren't scrutinized enough compared to what happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6 2021. He also referred to the events of Jan. 6 as a "dust-up."
Sports
Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics and more
According to Washington's head coach, he and Del Rio have had multiple conversations about Del Rio's words and on Tuesday Del Rio addressed them in a pre-minicamp meeting.
"He was very open, very forthright, very contrite and apologized and opened himself up to questions or opportunities for players to come in and meet with him," Rivera said. "He has already met with some of our players and talked to some of them about what was said and I've been told those meetings went very, very well."

After beginning his presser with a lengthy statement about the situation, Rivera requested that the media focus only on football-related matters. But in a later follow up, he relayed how the First Amendment has been on his mind since Del Rio's initial comments and made a point of declaring his "respect" for it.
"I've read it again over and over the last few days," Rivera said. "I really, truly have. I have a copy of it right now sitting on my desk."
Rivera, though, was adamant that Del Rio must "understand with these rights, these freedoms, come tremendous responsibility."
Del Rio apologized on Twitter Wednesday evening following the backlash to his quotes and this past weekend, deleted his Twitter account altogether. Doing so was Del Rio's choice and not any sort of order from the organization, per Rivera.
As for whether Del Rio is on his "last strike" now that he's been reprimanded, Rivera didn't want to get too specific.
"No, this was not communicated any other way other than Jack and I had a conversation that'll remain between the two of us," Rivera said. | https://www.necn.com/news/sports/ron-rivera-fined-jack-del-rio-because-of-the-distraction-del-rio-created/2759350/ | 2022-06-14T14:56:09Z | https://www.necn.com/news/sports/ron-rivera-fined-jack-del-rio-because-of-the-distraction-del-rio-created/2759350/ | true | 10 |

Which toy boxer dogs are best?
When it comes to dogs, you can’t get much better than a boxer. Because of their short coat, they’re easy to care for, and their sweet temperament makes them ideal as family dogs. Since they’re descended from several different working breeds, they are quite intelligent and can be trained to do certain tasks. What better way to celebrate their finest qualities than with a toy?
The best toy boxer dog is the DebinaleHandcrafts Boxer Dog Replica. Your dog photo will be recreated into a realistic toy boxer dog hand-knitted with love and affection.
What to know before you buy a toy boxer dog
Recipient
Before you buy a gift for anyone, it’s a good idea to make sure it’s something they want and will love and cherish. If you’re buying this toy for yourself, then you probably already know. For someone else, though, you should be sure they love boxers and that you’re getting them the kind of toy they’d most appreciate, as everyone is different.
Boxers
Boxers are a wonderful, goofy breed. They tend to be of medium to large size with short hair. The breed is descended from the German Bullenbreisser, which worked as a hunting dog for large game for many centuries. They tend to make great family pets because of their loving and silly nature, especially around children. Boxers are also quite intelligent and can be trained as service dogs. Because of all these wonderful qualities, a toy boxer can be a wonderful thing to have around to express your love of this breed.
Space
Toy boxers come in a variety of sizes and styles. Consider the space where this toy will go. If you get a display piece, is there already space ready to display it? But if you get a stuffed toy, will it live on the couch or the bed? Yet, if it’s for a child, does the child have room for another toy?
What to look for in a quality toy boxer dog
Size
Size is always an important factor when it comes to toys. It’s important that a toy isn’t too comically large for the recipient and can easily fit into their home or wherever they intend to keep it. Some people do enjoy large toys, but in general, they’re more of a novelty than a practical item. So, it’s better to get something smaller, especially if the recipient doesn’t have a ton of space.
Amusement factor
Toy boxer dogs can come in all different forms that provide varying levels of amusement to different people. Some people enjoy stuffed animals, while others prefer display pieces like bobbleheads or toys inspired by vintage items. If you’re getting this toy for yourself or someone else, consider what you or they like most. Also, think about what you or they love about boxers and what kind of toy would best represent those wonderful qualities. For example, some people love how cuddly and sweet boxers are and enjoy hugging a plush toy. Others like their goofy sense of humor and would enjoy the hilarity of a novelty toy.
Design
Some toy boxers are more realistic, while others are more cartoonish. Everyone has differing tastes. A classic plush boxer is usually a crowd-pleaser because it perfectly walks the line between realism and soft, cozy plushiness. However, some people might prefer something a little sillier, with more exaggerated proportions. Or they might appreciate a custom boxer toy that is meant to remind them of a past beloved pet.
How much you can expect to spend on a toy boxer dog
A toy boxer dog will cost around $11-$63.
Toy boxer dog FAQ
Can you clean a toy boxer?
A. It depends on what it’s made of. Some plushies can be tossed in a washing machine on warm or cold and then tumble dried on low, while others should only be spot cleaned. Other types of toys most likely can only be wiped with a damp cloth at best.
Is a toy boxer a good stand-in for a real one?
A. If you’re not in a position to get a real boxer, then it absolutely can be. Still, if it’s a memorial gift for a departed pet, it’s best to think of it more as a tribute than a stand-in since beloved pets are not replaced.

NEW YORK (AP) — A leading progressive media company, founded by three former members of the Obama administration, has formed a book imprint with the independent publisher Zando.
On Tuesday, Zando announced that it would partner with Crooked Media, founded in 2017 by Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor, for an imprint called Crooked Media Reads. Crooked Media is known for such podcasts as “Pod Save America” and “Lovett or Leave It.”
The first release from the new imprint, Lydia Kiseling's novel “Mobility,” is scheduled for August 2023.
“Crooked will champion authors whose missions, ideas, and stories will spark discussion, debate and much needed change," Zando founder Molly Stern said in a statement. When Stern was a publisher at Crown, her projects included former first lady Michelle Obama and her best-selling memoir “Becoming.”
In a statement Tuesday, the three Crooked Media founders said that they have a mission to “point listeners to brilliant authors helping to break down the big challenges we face as a country and telling stories that can expand readers’ perspective and empathy.”
Stern started Zando in 2020 and has formed partnerships for imprints with Sarah Jessica Parker, John Legend and Gillian Flynn among others. | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4570245 | 2022-06-14T15:01:48Z | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4570245 | true | 32 |

JERUSALEM (AP) — European leaders visiting Israel on Tuesday expressed hope that natural gas supplies from the eastern Mediterranean could help reduce dependence on Russia as the Ukraine war drags on.
Israel has emerged as a gas exporter in recent years following major offshore discoveries and has signed an ambitious agreement with Greece and Cyprus to build a shared pipeline. New supplies could help Europe ramp up sanctions on Moscow.
“On the energy front, we will work together in using gas resources of the eastern Mediterranean and to develop renewable energy," Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi said at a joint press conference with his Israeli counterpart, Naftali Bennett.
“We want to reduce our dependence on Russian gas and accelerate energy transition toward the climate objectives we’ve given ourselves,” he said.
Bennett said Israel was working to make natural gas available for Europe. His office said the two leaders also discussed shipping natural gas to Europe through Egypt.
European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen, who is also in Israel this week, affirmed Europe’s commitment to wean itself off Russian gas, saying Israel could help.
“We are now exploring ways to step up energy cooperation with Israel,” von der Leyen said.
In January, the European Union earmarked 657 million euros ($736 million) for the construction of a 2,000-megawatt undersea electricity cable that will link the power grids of Israel, Cyprus and Greece. Von der Leyen said it would be the deepest and longest such cable ever built.
In 2020, Greece, Israel and Cyprus signed a deal to build an undersea pipeline to carry gas from new offshore deposits in the southeastern Mediterranean to continental Europe.
The proposed project, with a rough budget of $6 billion, was expected to satisfy about 10% of the European Union’s natural gas needs. But it is fraught with political and logistical complexities.
At the time, Israeli officials said the EastMed pipeline would take up to seven years to build, touting its advantages as being less vulnerable to sabotage and not crossing many national borders.
The pipeline's construction hasn't yet begun and the EU is still conducting preliminary evaluations and cost estimations. In April, a U.S. envoy said it was too expensive, not economically viable and will take too long to provide an alternative to Russian gas.
Last year, the European Union imported roughly 40% of its gas from Russia. Countries have been struggling to reduce that dependency in order to sanction Russia over its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
Israel has two major gas fields off its coast with an estimated 690 billion cubic meters of natural gas combined and continues to explore for more. | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/EU-looks-to-east-Mediterranean-as-gas-alternative-17240531.php | 2022-06-14T15:06:56Z | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/EU-looks-to-east-Mediterranean-as-gas-alternative-17240531.php | false | 15 |
SWAMPSCOTT, Mass. (AP) — Animal control in a community north of Boston is looking for a coyote that bit a man outside a bank.
The man was on the phone outside a bank at a busy Swampscott shopping area on Monday morning when the coyote approached him from behind and bit him on the calf, causing a puncture wound, police said.
The man used a wooden pole he had in his vehicle to chase away the coyote, which ran into a nearby wooded area.
The man declined medical treatment at the scene and said he would take himself for treatment.
The man, John Malafronte, told WHDH-TV that he is being treated for rabies as a precaution.

Just one spot remains up for grabs at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, and we'll know who it belongs to on Tuesday when Costa Rica and New Zealand meet in the intercontinental playoff. Australia punched their ticket on Monday by beating Peru in penalty kicks, and this last spot sees Los Ticos as the favorites, aiming to make their third straight trip to the competition. Here's our storylines, how you can watch the match and more:

Storylines
Costa Rica: Los Ticos are here by way of finishing in fourth place in Concacaf, and they enter having just played in Nations League play, losing to Panama 2-0 and beating Martinique 2-0. Clinching this spot thanks to the 2-0 win over the United States to round out qualifying in March, they turned it on when they needed to, going unbeaten in their final seven qualifiers, winning their last four. An aging team that doesn't have much pop in attack, they balance that out by having one of the world's best goalkeepers in Keylor Navas.
New Zealand: Another team with attacking issues, they failed to score in their two friendlies leading into this match. While they have shown ability in attack by scoring four goals in three of their last four official matches, that came against Fiji, New Caledonia and Solomon Islands. When it comes to the squad, this is a very inexperienced one outside of a few key figures like Newcastle's Chris Wood. Somebody is going to need to be the creator, and Torino's Matthew Garbett may be the guy. They must be discipline in defense and look to find the head of Wood.
Prediction
Navas is stellar in goal, and Joel Campbell scores on the counter as Costa Rica return to the World Cup. Pick: Costa Rica 1, New Zealand 0 | https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/costa-rica-vs-new-zealand-live-stream-world-cup-playoffs-prediction-tv-channel-how-to-watch-online-time/ | 2022-06-14T15:08:13Z | https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/costa-rica-vs-new-zealand-live-stream-world-cup-playoffs-prediction-tv-channel-how-to-watch-online-time/ | true | 1 |
Shanghai Fashion Week goes digital this week
Shanghai Fashion Week, which was postponed in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic resurgence, is going online and will be held from Friday to Sunday, the organizing committee announced.
The committee believes the digital version, with "the Future of Builders" as its theme, will revive the city's fashion vitality and business while boosting market confidence.
A total of 36 brands will join the fashion event to livestream their latest collections on the Douyin (Tik Tok) platform for three days, six hours a day. Fashionistas and industry insiders can sit at home for a front-row view of the shows and explore the backstage stories through many other official social media channels, including WeChat, Weibo, Bilibili, YouTube and Instagram.
Shanghai's two-month COVID-19 lockdown, which was lifted on June 1, has made the offline fashion week impossible, which has led to a reduction in the number of participating brands and size of the trade fairs.
Last year, however, the in-person edition of the fashion week featured more than 100 designer brands, Asia's largest trade fair with almost 1,000 brands spread over 60,000-square-meter exhibition space, and various runway shows and events at the city's landmarks.
Despite the odds, the new digital approach truly links the catwalk and commerce in a one-stop, all-around, immersive fashion experience for both designers, buyers and sellers, organizers pointed out.
And the online version is expected to generate massive online crowds with broad exposure, they added.
The schedule features established fashion designer brands such as Feng Chen Wang, PRIVATE POLICY, LEAF XIA, YES BY YESIR and RICO LEE. The lineup by emerging designers labels include DONSEE10, Sultry Virgi and TRICKCOO. Also, sports brands Nike and Converse will collaborate with LABELHOOD.
In addition, YU PRIZE 2022 will announce its three award winners. | https://www.shine.cn/news/metro/2206146816/ | 2022-06-14T15:08:58Z | https://www.shine.cn/news/metro/2206146816/ | false | 1 |
Again, Ranked Best Hospital in NY, NJ, and CT
NEW YORK, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hospital for Special Surgery's (HSS) Lerner Children's Pavilion is again ranked the top hospital for pediatric orthopedics in the New York tri-state region in U.S.News & World Report's annual "Best Children's Hospitals" list announced today. Nationally, Lerner Children's Pavilion captured a spot in the top 10 for pediatric orthopedics in the newly released 2022-2023 rankings.
"We strive to provide the most advanced, comprehensive and compassionate care for our young patients and are honored to be recognized as one of the nation's very best hospitals in pediatric orthopedics," said Louis A. Shapiro, president and CEO of HSS. "This achievement validates the commitment of our team of pediatric specialists to provide personalized care to meet the specific needs of every patient and family."
The annual U.S.News Best Children's Hospitals edition, now in its 16th year, offers guidance to parents seeking the best place for a child in need of expert care. Pediatric orthopedics is among 10 ranked specialties, which also include pediatric cancer and pediatric cardiology & heart surgery.
Fifty hospitals were ranked in pediatric orthopedics for the treatment of conditions such as scoliosis and spina bifida and injuries such as complex fractures or other sports injuries. Rankings are based on clinical data and on an annual survey of pediatric specialists. Factors under consideration include patient outcomes, compliance with best practices, nursing staff and resources for patients, such as services to ease the anxiety of a child's hospital stay.
"Choosing a hospital is one of the most important decisions parents will ever make, and everyone wants what's best for their child. Our goal is to provide the highest quality, family-centered care in a supportive setting," said Roger F. Widmann, MD, chief of the Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery Service at HSS. "Our pediatric orthopedic surgeons are highly specialized in areas such as spine, sports medicine, hip disorders and cerebral palsy. They work alongside a team of pediatric anesthesiologists and non-surgical specialists to ensure the best and safest care."
"We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards in quality and safety, recognizing that a 'one-size-fits-all' approach does not work in health care," said Bryan T. Kelly, MD, surgeon-in-chief and medical director at HSS. "As the leading academic medical center specialized in musculoskeletal health, we are able to offer advanced care for the most complex problems with a healing environment specifically designed for children and teenagers."
There were over 56,000 physician visits and more than 48,000 rehabilitation visits to the HSS Lerner Children's Pavilion last year. A low dose X-ray system that exposes patients to only 10 percent of the radiation of standard X-rays and the Leon Root, MD Motion Analysis Laboratory are among the diagnostic tools that benefit patients.
About HSS
HSS is the world's leading academic medical center focused on musculoskeletal health. At its core is Hospital for Special Surgery, nationally ranked No. 1 in orthopedics (for the 12th consecutive year), No. 4 in rheumatology by U.S. News & World Report (2021-2022), and the best pediatric orthopedic hospital in NY, NJ and CT by U.S. News & World Report "Best Children's Hospitals" list (2022-2023). In a survey of medical professionals in more than 20 countries by Newsweek, HSS is ranked world #1 in orthopedics for a second consecutive year (2022). Founded in 1863, the Hospital has the lowest complication and readmission rates in the nation for orthopedics, and among the lowest infection rates. HSS was the first in New York State to receive Magnet Recognition for Excellence in Nursing Service from the American Nurses Credentialing Center five consecutive times. An affiliate of Weill Cornell Medical College, HSS has a main campus in New York City and facilities in New Jersey, Connecticut and in the Long Island and Westchester County regions of New York State, as well as in Florida. In addition to patient care, HSS leads the field in research, innovation and education.

Zeeve, a no-code blockchain infrastructure automation platform, has raised $2.65 million in a seed round from Leo Capital and Blu Ventures. The funds raised from the current round will be used to bolster product development, augment the tech team and enhance the firm's reach among DApp developers and global corporations.
Zeeve's solution supports most of the major public blockchain protocols, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, Tron, Avalanche, Fantom, etc. and permissioned blockchain protocols, including Hyperledger Fabric, R3 Corda, Fluree, and Hyperledger Sawtooth.
Founded in 2021 by a serial entrepreneur and tech evangelist, Ravi Chamria, along with his co-founders Ghan Vashistha and Sankalp Sharma, Zeeve has since been at the forefront of building easy-to-deploy web3 infrastructure, with more than 10,000 developers, Blockchain startups and enterprises trusting Zeeve for their critical web3 infrastructure.
Ravi Chamria, CEO, Zeeve said, “The Internet has come a long way, from the simple web pages of web1.0 to the decentralized web3.0. Lots of exciting innovations have happened in the web3.0 space like DeFi, NFTs, Decentralized Insurance, Prediction Markets, etc. We should expect to see a lot more innovation over the next five years, revolutionising how we use the internet. With further advancements in blockchain technology, we may soon see web3 utilized for everything from online commerce to voting and governance.”
According to Harvard Business Review, Web3 is being touted as the future of the internet. Web3 has the ability to make the internet more relevant to everyone. New businesses may use Web3 infrastructure to form communities around their brands and product ideas far more readily than in prior web iterations. Even existing platforms may take advantage of such opportunities by connecting to blockchain-based content networks and giving their consumers some control over their data. All of this implies that the coming era of the web will certainly look quite different — and far more open — than the one we have now.
“Web3 infrastructure is complex and there is a dire need to bring in the DevOps tools and platforms in the Blockchain space to drive enterprise adoption of Blockchain” says Dinesh Singh, Partner, Leo Capital.
Zeeve’s enterprise-grade platform allows developers and enterprises to deploy nodes on any blockchain on any cloud in a matter of minutes.
“In this new era of the internet, companies like Zeeve play a pivotal part in making it easy for enterprises and Blockchain startups to deploy blockchain nodes and consume APIs to connect with Blockchains. Zeeve's offering helps DevOps teams ease their operational, security, and performance challenges while deploying and managing Blockchain nodes and networks”, says Tarun Upaday, Partner, Blu Ventures.

Since its Debut One Year Ago Lexicon Has Helped Half of the Comscore 50 Publishers Dramatically Increase Their Unaddressable Revenue.
NEW YORK, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 33Across, a publisher technology platform designed for the open web, today announced the proven results of its Lexicon identity solution on its first anniversary.
The vision for Lexicon is to help publishers succeed without cookies and simplify the increasingly complex identity landscape. Lexicon provides publishers with a comprehensive approach to unlock addressability and monetization on the programmatic open while honoring consumer privacy choices.
Today, publishers rely on third-party cookies for the majority of their programmatic revenue, leaving almost half of their inventory from cookieless browsers under-monetized. Lexicon has created an addressable infrastructure that allows demand partners and publishers to continue to transact programmatically without cookies. Since its launch, publisher adoption has grown over 100% and over 10 demand-side platforms have since integrated to target cookieless supply. Publishers can now seamlessly monetize their open-market unaddressable inventory as well as measure their addressable inventory in their 33Across dashboard. Lexicon has proven to help publishers transition away from the cookie and offers publishers tangible results to monetize their unaddressable revenue. Lexicon's performance metrics are:
- 15x year over year growth in daily cookieless revenue
- 2x cookieless supply on the platform in the last six months
- 300% increase in fill rates and 150% increase in cookieless CPMs
- DailyMail.com: in Q1 of 2022, 69% of programmatic revenue brought by 33Across to DailyMail.com was cookieless.
- Shinez: in Q4 of 2021, 61% of programmatic revenue brought by 33Across to Shinez was cookieless.

Some Patriots players helped their causes during New England’s spring practice schedule, which concluded last week with mandatory minicamp. Others? Not so much.
With the Patriots now off until training camp begins in late July, we identified eight winners and three losers from the team’s two minicamp practices.
WINNERS
QB Mac Jones
Jones opened minicamp with 23 consecutive completions and finished it with a completion rate of 88%. Even in a non-contact setting, that’s impressive accuracy, especially given the types of throws Jones was attempting. The second-year QB often attacked down the field and was nearly flawless when doing so, going 7-for-8 on deep passes with all seven completions hitting tight windows. It’s too early to know exactly what the Patriots’ “streamlined” offense will look like this season, but we could see the team open things up more for Jones, who excelled on deep balls at Alabama despite critiques about his arm strength. Teammates also raved about the young passer’s leadership, conditioning and command of the offense as he looks to build on his promising rookie season.
WR Tre Nixon
The breakout star of minicamp, Nixon caught all 10 of his targets, often repped with the first-team offense and hauled in three of those aforementioned Jones deep balls — including a one-handed 60-yarder over top slot cornerback Jonathan Jones — capitalizing on Jakobi Meyers’ limitations and Kendrick Bourne’s one-day excused absence. Nixon also saw work as a punt returner and punt gunner. The 2021 seventh-rounder would need to unseat some established veterans in order to stick on the roster, and there’s no guarantee he maintains this momentum through the summer. But he’s done everything right thus far.
OL Cole Strange
At this point, barring injury, it would be an upset if Strange didn’t start at left guard in Week 1. The polarizing first-round draft pick has been firmly entrenched there since the start of spring practice, showcasing his athleticism and relentlessness and garnering early comparisons to former Patriots standout Joe Thuney.
CB Jack Jones
It’s hard to identify any favorites in the Patriots’ wide-open cornerback competition, but Jones, who saw substantial first-team reps last week, should be in the mix for a starting job with the likes of Jalen Mills, Malcolm Butler and Terrance Mitchell. The Arizona State product needs to add weight to his 5-foot-11, 175-pound frame and was beaten for a few big plays in minicamp, but his ball skills and stickiness in coverage were apparent. He was the only Patriot with multiple passes defended across last week’s two practices, notching an interception, a pass breakup and a forced fumble.
WR Nelson Agholor
After turning in an underwhelming debut season in New England, Agholor said he expected to be much better in Year 2. He’s off to a promising start there. The veteran equaled Nixon’s minicamp total with 10 catches on 12 targets, headlined by a diving grab down the left sideline that beat tight coverage from Jack Jones. The offseason arrivals of DeVante Parker and Tyquan Thornton threatened to eat into Agholor’s playing time (or push him off the roster entirely), so this was a much-needed spring showing.
TE Jonnu Smith
Smith, who was even less impactful than Agholor in 2021, also flashed in minicamp, beating a pair of starting safeties (first Adrian Phillips, then Kyle Dugger) for acrobatic downfield completions while position mate Hunter Henry rehabbed an undisclosed injury. The Patriots need much more from Smith this season after the $50 million tight end managed just 28 catches for 294 yards and one touchdown a year ago, and he, like Agholor, took a step in the right direction this spring. Smith was a full participant in New England’s offseason program after skipping it last spring.
LB Josh Uche
Bill and Steve Belichick both have said Uche will have a prominent role in New England’s defense this season, and the team’s spring practices reinforced that. Uche looks like the favorite to fill the Kyle Van Noy void opposite Matthew Judon, with the potential to contribute as an edge rusher and off-the-ball linebacker. We’ve seen this before with the 2020 second-rounder, though, who also impressed in training camp last summer before winding up buried on the depth chart. Will this be the season he finally breaks out?
LB Raekwon McMillan
Roster battles aren’t won or lost in spring practice, but McMillan currently looks like the top choice to start at inside linebacker alongside Ja’Whaun Bentley. The ex-Dolphin and Raider was part of the Patriots’ first-team defense throughout the spring after performing well in his brief 2021 training camp, which was cut short by a season-ending torn ACL. He’ll need to hold off challenges from newcomer Mack Wilson and 2021 fifth-rounder Cameron McGrone in training camp.
LOSERS
WR N’Keal Harry
When the Patriots’ offense split for certain periods during minicamp, Harry went with the scout team, running plays off of cards and catching passes from third-string rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe. That said all you need to know about the much-maligned wideout’s standing on this team. Harry returned for minicamp after skipping voluntary OTAs but did little to improve his slim roster odds. He caught one of his four targets in his first practice and was not targeted in the second.
OT Isaiah Wynn
The big surprise of minicamp was Wynn’s switch from left tackle — where he’s played throughout his NFL and college careers — to right tackle, with Trent Brown flipping from right to left. Bill Belichick declined to explain the reasoning behind this move, but it easily can be viewed as a demotion for the oft-injured Wynn, who’s entering a contract year. The Patriots could wind up trading the 26-year-old, as doing so would wipe his entire $10.4 million guaranteed salary from their salary cap.
TE Dalton Keene
The Patriots’ removal of the traditional fullback from their offense should make a player like Keene, an H-back in college, more valuable. But the Virginia Tech product still cannot seem to stay on the field, with an undisclosed injury keeping him out of team drills in both minicamp practices. Neither of the Patriots’ third-year tight ends has been even remotely productive up to this point, but Devin Asiasi’s availability gives him the edge over Keene in this roster battle. | https://nesn.com/2022/06/biggest-winners-losers-from-patriots-minicamp-as-summer-break-begins-2/ | 2022-06-14T15:18:53Z | https://nesn.com/2022/06/biggest-winners-losers-from-patriots-minicamp-as-summer-break-begins-2/ | true | 1 |
Jason Alexander, a childhood friend of Britney Spears' and the pop star's first husband, was charged with a felony and three misdemeanors for his attempt to crash Spears' wedding to her longtime partner Sam Asghari.
Alexander pleaded not guilty to the charges of stalking, trespassing and refusing to leave private property, vandalism and battery, according to court records. Spears and Alexander married in 2004 in Las Vegas, but the marriage was annulled after 55 hours.
Prior to his arrest on Thursday, Alexander went live on Instagram and filmed his attempt to disrupt the wedding preparations. The video shows Alexander walking around Spears' property and walking into the house including the alter area proclaiming that he's "here to crash the wedding," and asking where Spears is.
Eventually, a security guard tackled Alexander, who was then arrested and charged by the Ventura County Sheriff's Office.
On Monday, a judge ordered that Alexander must stay at least 100 yards away from Spears for three years, not have any contact with Spears and not own or purchase any firearms.
Despite Alexander's attempt to crash the wedding, Spears and Asghari married on Thursday in front of a small group of friends and family that included Selena Gomez, Madonna, Drew Barrymore, Paris Hilton and Donatella Versace.
The day marked a milestone for Spears, whose 13-year conservatorship ended last November. Many across the country supported Spears in her fight as part of the #FreeBritney movement.
In a statement made to the Los Angeles court which considered terminating her conservatorship, Spears spoke about not being able to get married despite her wishes to do so.
"I want to be able to get married and have a baby. I was told right now in the conservatorship, I'm not able to get married or have a baby," Spears said at the time. "So basically this conservatorship is doing me way more harm than good. I — I deserve to have a life. ... I deserve to have the same rights as anybody does by having a child, a family, any of those things."
Spears had been dating Asghari for a number of years at the time of the hearing. The two met during the filming of Spears' music video for her song "Slumber Party" which was released in 2016.
"It was the humbleness that attracted me," Asghari told GQ about the pair's meeting. "She was very humble and she had a beautiful soul."
The two announced their engagement last September on Instagram, with Asghari posting a photo of the two that prominently featured the ring he picked out for Spears, and the pop star sharing a video showing her excitement.
Asghari told GQ that prior to the proposal he didn't tell anyone about his plans.
"I didn't want anybody to know and anybody to interfere in any way whatsoever so it was between me and her," he said.
Similarly, the plans for the wedding were kept under wraps – for the most part, that is.
The couple did not announce anything ahead of time, though TMZ reported early Thursday that it was their wedding day and shared photos of the event setup.
Spears sparsely teased wedding details shortly after their engagement, sharing that Italian fashion designer Donatella Versace would be the artist behind her wedding dress. The two go way back and Versace was one of the many celebrities to congratulate Spears on the end of her conservatorship. Versace shared details of the design after the wedding.

New Research From Homewisdom, a Research and Public Policy Housing Initiative from Homewise to Advance Homeownership Strategies in New Mexico and Nationwide
SANTA FE, N.M., June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report released today from Homewisdom, a new research and public policy initiative established by Homewise, found that New Mexico homeowners are generally better able than renters to afford their housing. The typical New Mexico homeowner spends 15 percent of their income on housing while the typical renter must devote 25 percent of their income to rent. This holds true even among low-income households with annual incomes below $50,000, where renter households spend one-third of their income on housing while owners in the same income group spend less than one-quarter (23 percent).
"While homeownership is not the right solution for every household, it is an opportunity to obtain sustainably affordable housing that could benefit far more New Mexico households than it currently does," said Kelly O'Donnell, Director of Homewisdom. "If New Mexico's effort to improve housing affordability is to facilitate lasting financial security for working families, homeownership must play a central role."
Both in New Mexico and nationally, African American and Hispanic homeowners have higher average housing expense ratios than White non-Hispanic homeowners, but owners fare better than renters, regardless of race. In New Mexico, African American, Native American, Hispanic, and White non-Hispanic owners all have lower housing expense ratios than renters of the same race/ethnicity. Homeowners of color also experience lower average housing cost burdens than White renters.
Read the full report here.
The research is the first report from Homewisdom, a new research and public policy initiative from Homewise to provide data, insights, and policy recommendations to help advance homeownership strategies. For more than 35 years, Homewise has been a leading voice for affordable homeownership and stronger neighborhoods. Homewisdom will combine Homewise's experience with homeownership with data and policy analysis, focused on key issues such as closing the racial wealth gap through homeownership and developing potential policy solutions for national, state, and local lawmakers to consider.
Kelly O'Donnell, an economist with over 20 years experience in New Mexico public policy and finance, will serve as Homewisdom Director.
O'Donnell continued, "Homewisdom's research has and will create long-term financial well-being for not only New Mexico, but the nation as a whole. This initiative builds upon Homewise's decades of work to support families by increasing access to affordable, long-term housing."
"Homewisdom's research is focused on key issues such as racial equity and demonstrating how homeownership is a leading affordable housing strategy," said Mike Loftin, CEO of Homewise. "Blending local market insights with national data, we're working to identify key trends that can inform policy solutions and create long-term financial wellbeing for not only New Mexico, but the nation."

NEW YORK — “A Strange Loop,” an irreverent, sexually frank work about Blackness and queerness took home the best new musical crown at the Tony Awards on Sunday, as voters celebrated Broadway’s most racially diverse season by choosing an envelope-pushing Black voice.
Michael R. Jackson’s 2020 Pulitzer Prize drama winner is a theater meta-journey — a tuneful show about a Black gay man writing a show about a Black gay man. Jackson also won for best book. Many of the night’s other Tonys were spread over several productions.
The victory of a smaller, more offbeat musical against more commercial offerings continues a recent trend, as when the intimate musical “The Band’s Visit” beat the big brand-musicals “Frozen,” “Mean Girls” and “SpongeBob SquarePants” in 2018 or when “Hadestown” bested “Tootsie,” “Beetlejuice” and “Ain’t Too Proud” a year later.
“A Strange Loop” beat “MJ,” a bio musical of the King of Pop’s biggest hits, for the top prize, although the other Jackson musical nabbed four Tony Awards including for best choreography. Myles Frost moonwalked away with the award for best lead actor in a musical for playing Michael Jackson, becoming the youngest solo winner in that category. “Mom, I made it!” he said.

“MJ” represents the 22-year-old Frost’s Broadway debut as he plays Jackson with a high, whispery voice, a Lady Diana-like coquettishness and a fierce embrace of Jackson’s iconic dancing and singing style. “Heal the world,” Frost said from the stage, channeling Jackson.
Joaquina Kalukango won the Tony for best leading actress in a musical for her work in “Paradise Square,” a show about Irish immigrants and Black Americans co-existing in New York City around the time of the Civil War. Earlier in the night, she blew the house down with a stunning performance of the musical’s “Let It Burn.” The musical got its world premiere at Berkeley Repertory Theatre in 2019.
A gender-swapped revival of Stephen Sondheim’s “Company” rode the fondness Broadway has for the late iconic composer by earning five statuettes, including best musical revival.
“Company” is an exploration of a single person’s conflicted feelings about commitment, traditionally focusing on a 35-year-old bachelor. This time, it had a bachelorette and the sexes of several couples were swapped.
Marianne Elliott made Tony history by becoming the only woman to have won three Tonys for directing, the latest for “Company.” She thanked Sondheim for letting her put a woman “front and center.” She dedicated her award to everyone fighting to keep theaters open.
Patti LuPone won best featured actress in a musical for her work in the revival, thanking COVID-19 safety officials in her acceptance speech. Matt Doyle won for best featured actor in a musical for “Company.”
“The Lehman Trilogy,” spanning 150 years and running three and a half hours, follows the fortunes of a single family into the financial crash of 2008. It was crowned best new play and Sam Mendes won for best direction of a play, praising the season for its “rampant creativity.” One of its three stars, Simon Russell Beale, won for best actor in a play and thanked the audience for coming to see a trio of British actors tell a New York story. The show’s scheduled 2022 run at San Francisco’s American Conservatory Theater was postponed; no makeup dates have been announced yet.
Deirdre O’Connell won for best actress in a play for her work in “Dana H.,” about a real woman kidnapped by a former convict and white supremacist. O’Connell never speaks, instead, lip-syncing to an edited recording of the survivor. On Sunday, O’Connell urged the crowd to ignore safe options and “make the weird art.”
“Dana H” was also nominated for best director (Les Waters, who did not win) and best sound design (winner Mikhail Fiksel).
“Take Me Out” won for best play revival, and “Modern Family” star Jesse Tyler Ferguson won the Tony for best featured actor in a play for his work in it. “Mom, Dad, thank you for letting me move to New York when I was 17-years-old. I told you it would be OK,” said Ferguson, who also thanked his understudy and his husband.
Host Ariana DeBose kicked off her portion of the show in a sparkling white jumpsuit and wide-brimmed hat, dancing and singing to the song “This Is Your Round of Applause,” which mashed up shards of musical theater favorites, like “Chicago, “The Wiz,” “Evita,” “Rent,” “Hair,” “Cabaret,” “Hairspray” and “West Side Story,” the movie remake for which she recently won an Oscar.
Still panting while welcoming viewers, she told the crowd that this was the season “Broadway got it’s groove back.”
Phylicia Rashad won best featured actress in a play for “Skeleton Crew.” The Dominique Morisseau play is about blue-collar job insecurity set in a Detroit auto stamping plant. “It’s wonderful to present humanity in all it’s fullness,” Rashad said.
And the Tonys ushered in the latest EGOT winner: Jennifer Hudson, who has an Emmy, Grammy and Oscar, and joined that elite group Sunday when “A Strange Loop” won best musical — she’s a producer.
A starry revival of the classic show “The Music Man” with Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster walked away empty-handed despite six nominations and being a box office smash, regularly pulling in more than $3 million a week.
The season was marked by the embrace of seven Black playwrights, from contemporary writers like Dominique Morisseau, Keenan Scott II and Antoinette Nwandu, to underappreciated historical playwrights like Alice Childress and Ntozake Shange. DeBose said Broadway was more representative.
DeBose celebrated the Black voices and onstage talent — as well as noting that two Broadway theaters were being renamed for Black icons James Earl Jones and Lena Horne — saying that The Great White Way was now a nickname “as opposed to a how-to guide.”
DeBose also hailed the heroic efforts of understudies, swings and standbys to keep shows going throughout pandemic spikes, noting that she and many other Tony nominees had once been unheralded understudies and swings. After the cast of “Six” performed, DeBose noted that one was a fill-in at the last minute.
Having been freed of handling the technical awards, the main telecast had a less frantic, more airy feel. DeBose was an assured, funny and versatile host, one who roamed the seats, sat in Andrew Garfield’s lap, danced with Sam Rockwell and prompted Laurence Fishburne to do a Daffy Duck imitation. She closed the show with a medley of the musical nominees, at one point making “MJ” part of the Dylan show: “You’ve been hit by/A rolling stone.”
Some of the show highlights included the massive cast of “The Music Man” filling the massive Radio City stage with “Seventy-Six Trombones,” as well as Prince Jackson and Paris Jackson introducing the show about their father before the “MJ” cast danced to an energetic “Smooth Criminal.”
Billy Crystal taught the crowd “Yiddish scatting,” and the original cast of the 2007 Tony-winning musical “Spring Awakening” — including Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff — reunited for a performance.
Many acceptance speeches thanked the audiences for braving spikes in COVID-19 to come to see shows, and Marsha Gay Harden cheered 150 safety officers invited as guests to the Tonys.
Earlier, Darren Criss and Julianne Hough kicked off the four-hour awards, handing out mostly design awards. Criss opened the telecast with the original song, “Set the Stage,” as he and Hough energetically danced up ladders, on laundry hampers and in sliding theater seats to celebrate the artists who keep theater alive.
The first award of the night — for best score — went to “Six: The Musical,” with music and lyrics by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss. Marlow became the first out nonbinary composer-lyricist to win a Tony. “Six: The Musical” also picked up the award for best costumes for a musical.
The season — with 34 new productions — represents a full return to theaters after nearly two years of a pandemic-mandated shutdown. At the last Tonys nine months ago, the winners were pulled from just 18 eligible plays and musicals, and many of the competitive categories were depleted.
Sondheim, the iconic composer who died in late 2021, was honored in a special segment by Bernadette Peters singing his song “Children Will Listen.” Angela Lansbury, who was honored with a lifetime achievement Tony, wasn’t present so her “Sweeney Todd” co-star Len Cariou accepted on her behalf. | https://www.pe.com/2022/06/13/strange-loop-makes-history-at-tony-awards-company-wins-5/ | 2022-06-14T15:22:34Z | https://www.pe.com/2022/06/13/strange-loop-makes-history-at-tony-awards-company-wins-5/ | true | 47 |
There are fears North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un could launch a nuclear weapon as the global threat escalates.
The pariah state has finished preparations for its first nuclear test launch since 2017, according to South Korea's Foreign Minister Park Jin, who also called for a political resolution to bring it to a halt.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has promised to "respond quickly" should the despot press the button and initiate his seventh test bomb.
Park said the North would pay the price for any displays of nuclear aggression, referring largely to sanctions against the self-isolated nation, and last week urged the tyrant to "make the right decision".
Park said: "If North Korea ventures into another nuclear test, I think it will only strengthen our deterrence and also international sanctions.
"North Korea should change its mind and make the right decision.”
Yesterday Blinken said Washington plans to maintain pressure on North Korea until Pyongyang changes course and de-escalates.
Park, his South Korean counterpart, urged China to persuade the North not to resume nuclear testing.
After the meeting, Blinken told reporters the US remains open to dialogue with Pyongyang but that calls had been ignored and missiles tested.
He added that preparations have also been made to resume nuclear testing for the first time since 2017.
"Until the regime in Pyongyang changes course, we will continue to keep the pressure on," Blinken told reporters, referring to U.S.-led international sanctions on North Korea.
Park said any provocations by North Korea, including a nuclear test, would be met with a united and firm response and urged China to use its influence.
Park said North Korea was at a crossroads - it could go ahead with a nuclear test and isolate itself, or return to diplomacy and dialogue.
"I also think China should play a very positive role to persuade North Korea that maintaining peace and stability on the Korean peninsula requires their new thinking," he said.
Park said he and Blinken had agreed on early reactivation of an extended deterrence working group, a policy body dealing with the U.S. nuclear umbrella that protects South Korea.
He said the body deals with deployment of strategic assets when necessary, but did not elaborate. Blinken said Washington was prepared to make short and longer-term adjustments to its military posture, as appropriate.
Blinken said he expected the working group would be back up and running in weeks ahead and said Washington and Seoul were committed to discussing how to expand the scope and scale of their combined military exercises.
Blinken said the United States had noted the appointment of North Korea's first female foreign minister last week, key nuclear negotiator Choe Son Hui, but added that the U.S. approach to a country was based its policies, not individuals.
Blinken also said Washington would continue to impose sanctions on Chinese and Russian individuals and entities aiding North Korea's missile and nuclear programs.
China's U.N. envoy told Reuters last week Beijing does not want to see another North Korean nuclear test, which is partly why it vetoed a U.S.-led bid to impose new U.N. sanctions on Pyongyang over renewed ballistic missiles launches.
But Ambassador Zhang Jun warned against making presumptions on how Beijing might react to a seventh test, which Washington has warned could happen at "any time."
In recent years China and Russia have been pushing for an easing of sanctions on North Korea on humanitarian grounds - and in the hope that it can be convinced to return to negotiations.

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 could borrow a handy multitasking feature from Motorola and Vivo
What you need to know
- The Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 are rumored to gain a new "swipe for split screen' gesture.
- This could bring a more fluid multitasking experience to Samsung's premium foldable phones.
- No details have been revealed as to what this feature will look like.
We're in a bit of a lull here in the Android space, as we get ready for the long summer nights accompanied by a slew of new hardware heading into an even-busier fall. But now's the time when we start hearing more and more about potential specs and features of upcoming phones.
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 have been the subject of quite a few rumors as of late, and the latest rumor from @UniverseIce claims Samsung will implement a “swipe for split screen” feature. If you're a fan of foldable phones, this may sound a bit familiar to you, as it's a similar feature found on the Oppo Find N and the recently-released Vivo X Fold .
With the Find N, if you want to split the screen in half, you just use two fingers and swipe down the middle of the display. Then you can add another app to your screen without messing around with diving into menus or dragging and dropping apps hoping that they end up in the right place.
Better multitasking is one of the primary wishes for Samsung's next batch of foldable phones. Currently, opening multiple apps on the screen isn't impossible, but it can get very cumbersome and frustrating. This is true even when using the S Pen paired with your Galaxy Z Fold 3 .
Using gestures would go a long way to improve the overall experience, and if there's one thing we've learned from using the best foldable phones , is that there's no such thing as too many features. Especially when it comes to improving the usability of these devices with massive displays.
What is a bit curious, though, is that the feature is said to be coming to the Z Flip 4 as well, which obviously offers a more traditional candy bar design when unfolded. But maybe Samsung is just thinking that it will include the feature with both foldable phones, as opposed to just one. And perhaps this rumored gesture could make its way over to traditional phones like the Galaxy S22 . After all, Motorola also has a similar feature for its smartphones, letting the user swipe back and forth across the display to open split-screen mode.
If recent rumors are to go by, we don't have too much longer to wait before seeing what Samsung's next foldable phones look like. We're expecting Samsung to make an announcement in early August, with the Z Fold 4, Z Flip 4, and Galaxy Watch 5 to hit store shelves by the end of August.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3
Still the best?
With the Galaxy Z Fold 4 on the horizon, and new competition hitting the market, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 3 is still considered the best foldable phone. But there's definitely some room for improvement. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2631961364731/the-galaxy-z-fold-4-could-borrow-a-handy-multitasking-feature-from-motorola-and-vivo | 2022-06-14T15:27:16Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2631961364731/the-galaxy-z-fold-4-could-borrow-a-handy-multitasking-feature-from-motorola-and-vivo | false | 2 |
Revolution Bars Group PLC has said earnings for the year will top expectations due to the continued strong performance across the group and a bumper jubilee bank holiday.
The owner of the Revolution and Revolucion de Cuba brands added although the group is not immune to “inflationary headwinds”, it plans to complete another 18 refurbishments in next financial year.
In a trading update today, Revolution said said it is confident of delivering adjusted EBITDA slightly ahead of the top end of market expectations, which currently stands at £10.0mln.
The company stated:
“We are pleased to report continued strong performance across the group, particularly from our refurbished bars, and continued guest enjoyment in all of our brands. While not being immune to the widely reported inflationary headwinds in the UK, we continue to manage and control costs tightly wherever possible. Following positive trading over the Jubilee bank holiday, the board is confident of delivering adjusted Ebitda after rental charges (on an IAS 17 basis) slightly ahead of the top end of market expectations, which currently stands at £10m.
Our refurbishment programme has continued at pace and we have completed 16 refurbishments in FY22, 14 in Revolution bars and two in Revolucion de Cuba bars. We expect to complete a further three refurbishments in FY22, taking us to our planned target of 19 refurbishments, with a further 18 planned in the next financial year. The refurbished bars are trading well and we are confident in achieving our two-year payback target. Further to the strong trading reported above, we are pleased to confirm we have agreed terms on two new leasehold bars in Exeter and in Preston, which are the group’s first new sites since 2018. Both new bars will trade under the Revolution brand and are expected to open in June 2022.
Our two new brands, Playhouse and Founders & Co, have proved to be exciting additions to the group therefore adding additional optionality within the estate. Looking forward, we have an exciting pipeline of future sites and we expect to open a further six bars in FY23. The group intends to publish its annual results for the financial year ended 2 July 2022 on 18 October 2022.”
Rob Pitcher, chief executive of Revolution Bars Group, said:
“Revolution Bars Group is in great shape and it’s great to be back doing what we do brilliantly. The business is well funded and the investment we have made in our refurbishment programme is delivering positive results and delighting our guests. This, together with encouraging trading, underpins our confidence in our expansion plans with two new bars due to open later this month and an excellent pipeline of new sites in place.” | https://catererlicensee.com/revolution-bars-sees-2022-earnings-ahead-of-expectations/ | 2022-06-14T15:27:19Z | https://catererlicensee.com/revolution-bars-sees-2022-earnings-ahead-of-expectations/ | false | 1 |

The Mavericks, again, know they must address their shortcomings on the front line, but sources indicate that their oft-reported interest in Gobert is somewhat overstated because of Gobert’s offensive limitations and the offensive success they just had in the playoffs with a 5-out style that left the paint uncluttered. -via marcstein.substack.com / May 27, 2022
Rudy Gobert: There’s a lot of teams and a lot of people that would love for us to to break apart. They would love to get a Rudy Gobert or Donovan Mitchell in their team and there’s a lot of bigger markets who would love to get that and we are aware of that. -via YouTube / April 9, 2022

Julie Burchill says Kim Kardashian is a better role model than Marilyn Monroe because the 'tough' reality star refused to be shamed for her sex tape - while the actor accepted being objectified by men and it 'killed her'
- Kim Kardashian is better role model than Marilyn Monroe, says UK's Julie Burchill
- The feminist says Kardashian was tough enough to 'own' her sex tape scandal
- However, Monroe accepted being objected by men, says the writer
- Comparison follows Kardashian wearing famous Monroe dress to Met Gala
British writer Julie Burchill has branded Kim Kardashian a better role model than Marilyn Monroe, saying it is better for women to be 'tough not tender' in order to succeed in a man's world.
She compared the two women after Kardashian wore a famous crystal-studded gown, famously donned by Monroe as she sang Happy Birthday, Mr President to JFK in 1962, to last month's Met Gala.
Discussing the pair in an article for The Spectator (in which she notes she dislikes the concept of role models), Burchill says both were 'shamed for their nakedness', but 'the tough one toughed it out', describing Kardashian.
The reality star's leaked sex tape in 2007, led to a thriving career, thanks to Kardashian 'owning' it, rather than accepting the shaming, says the writer.
By contrast, Burchill says Monroe (who is said to have agreed that being an actress is 'no better than being a hooker', according to her maid Lena Pepitone), accepted being objectified by men, which 'had such a disastrous effect on her, killing her at the age of 36'.
Monroe was found dead at her home in Brentwood, California, after taking an overdose of barbituates.
Kim Kardashian, pictured here at the Met Gala in May, wearing the dress Marilyn Monroe wore to sing Happy Birthday, Mr President to JFK in 1962, has been described as a better role model than the late actor
Marilyn Monroe, pictured here in 1950, in stills for the film All About Eve, reportedly agreed that being an actress is 'no better than being a hooker' according to her housekeeper Lena Pepitone
Julie Burchill has described Kim Kardashian as a better role model than Marilyn Monroe, citing the former's activism and business success, as well as her refusal to be 'shamed for her nakedness'
At this age, writes Burchill, Kardashian was 'just getting started on her political activism, ranging from everything from publicising the Armenian genocide by Turkey and working for the release of non-violent drug offenders'.
She added: 'The sneering query ‘But what does Kim Kardashian do?’ Is easily answered with "She raises four children, oversees a billion-dollar empire and gets under-privileged, non-violent people left rotting in jail out – what do you do?".'
After sporting the sparkling dress, Kardashian faced a barrage of criticism, with some experts saying the piece shouldn't have been taken out of storage at Ripley's Believe It or Not!, to be worn.
Scott Fortner, a fashion historian and costume expert told the New York Post last month: 'No one should have reworn this dress. It's hard because [Kardashian] is one of the most influential people in the world.
Kim Kardashian, pictured here during a recent episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians, 'refused to be shamed for her nakedness', according to Julie Burchill, who says the reality star has thrived because of it
Monroe wore the custom Jean Louis gown to sing 'Happy Birthday' to then-President John F. Kennedy on May 19, 1962
Kardashian lost 16 pounds in three weeks to fit into the gown made for specifically for Monroe to wear to serenade the president
'If it was up to me, I would not have allowed it simply because of the importance of the piece in American cultural history,' he added. 'But let me be clear, this is nothing to do with Kim Kardashian.'
Kardashian was the first person to don the gown since it was worn by Monroe in 1962. She admitted she lost 16 pounds in three weeks to fit into the dress, but she was still unable to zip it.
Speaking to Vogue, she said: 'I'm extremely respectful to the dress and what it means to American history. I would never want to sit in it or eat in it or have any risk of any damage to it…'
She added: 'It will forever be one of the greatest privileges of my life to be able to channel my inner Marilyn in this way, on such a special night.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10914811/Julie-Burchill-says-Kim-Kardashian-better-role-model-Marilyn-Monroe.html | 2022-06-14T15:31:55Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10914811/Julie-Burchill-says-Kim-Kardashian-better-role-model-Marilyn-Monroe.html | false | 3 |

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — A Dutch court on Tuesday sentenced an Austrian man to three years imprisonment for his involvement in illegally detaining six children held for years and isolated from the outside world by their father at a remote farmhouse in the Netherlands.
The case made headlines around the world when it was discovered in October 2019 that father had been living for years with six of his children in the farmhouse in the village of Ruinerwold in the eastern Netherlands. Their plight only came to light when one of the sons left the building and raised the alarm.
At previous court hearings, prosecutors portrayed the father, identified only as Gerrit Jan van D., as a deeply religious man who saw his family as “chosen by God” and did everything in his power — including physical beatings and other punishments — to keep them from succumbing to what he considered malign outside influences.
The same court last year dropped all charges against the children's father, saying he could not stand trial after being incapacitated by a stroke.
The Northern Netherlands District Court convicted the father's Austrian helper and “disciple,” identified only as Josef B. under Dutch privacy rules, of co-perpetration in the “unlawful deprivation of liberty of the six youngest children of the family” at the farm. He also was convicted of deprivation of liberty of another man held for a time at the farm.
The court said the Austrian, who bought supplies for the family and rented the farm property, “played an essential role in the events and without his contribution it would not have been possible for the father to keep his children isolated from society for so long."
He was acquitted of the unlawful deprivation of liberty of the family's eldest three children and of abusing all the children.
The six children who were kept on the farm are now all young adults. Three older siblings had earlier left the family’s isolated life. Their mother died in 2004.
The time the Austrian has already spent in custody ahead of his trial will be deducted from his sentence. | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Austrian-convicted-of-helping-detain-6-Dutch-17240340.php | 2022-06-14T15:32:34Z | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Austrian-convicted-of-helping-detain-6-Dutch-17240340.php | false | 32 |

MILL VALLEY, Calif., June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for summer, The Free Spirits Company is expanding its range of non-alcoholic spirits to launch The Spirit of Milano. Made in the 'spirit' of the great Italian Aperitivos, The Spirit of Milano embodies a perfectly balanced bitter and sweet experience that is made for negronis and poolside spritzes.
Led by bitter orange and sun-ripened fruit, this expression is supported by notes of cinnamon, clove and rhubarb, delivering a complex, bold sensorial experience. What's more, The Spirit of Milano is further heightened by the heat of South American pepper and fortified with B-Vitamins and Amino Acids to elevate the cocktail experience and the drinker's state of mind.
The Spirit of Milano was inspired by what its name suggests, the city of Milan. "With this expression, we turned to the place that inspired so many of the great Italian Aperitivos: Milano, Italy," says Free Spirits Head of Innovation and Product Development, JD Dornell, PHD. "An epicenter of food, art, culture, fashion and the birthplace of this amazing, versatile genre of liqueurs, The Spirit of Milano has been created to honor and embody all of this."
The Spirit of Milano joins The Free Spirits Company's existing expressions which include The Spirit of Tequila, The Spirit of Gin and the Spirit of Bourbon. Inspired by the world's great spirits, each one of the Free Spirits is crafted to be a complex, nuanced, 1:1 non-alcoholic expression to the great spirits and liqueurs of the world.
"When we look at product innovation at The Free Spirits Company, we think about the cocktails people love to drink," says brand founder and CEO Milan Martin. "The world loves a great Negroni. And how perfect is a beautiful Spritz on a warm summer day."
Younger generations are establishing a 'new normal' when it comes to alcohol consumption. Millennials and Generation Z are consuming 20%-30% less alcohol and devoting more time to being alcohol-free than any other generation before them, and others have begun to follow suit. In recent years, there have been a handful of 'non-alcoholic' beverages introduced to the market. But with Free Spirits, the ceremony and socialization of cocktails can remain without compromising taste or well-being.
By replacing traditional liquor with a Free Spirit, drinkers have the power to 'dial-up' or 'dial-down' a cocktail - all the way from 'non-alcoholic' to 'just a touch' of booze to 'half and half' and beyond.
Like all of the Free Spirits, The Spirit of Milano is crafted to be bold, delicious and non-alcoholic. With 15 calories and 4g sugar, The Spirit of Milano is infused with B Vitamins and Amino Acids to help elevate the drinker's mood, energy and experience.
Retailing for $37 for a 750mL bottle and is available June 13.
Located in Marin County, California, The Free Spirits Company crafts non-alcoholic spirits including Bourbon, Gin and Tequila through a process called Distillate Reconstruction that sources natural real ingredients like American White Oak, European Juniper, and Mexican Blue Agave, then distills their essence and reconstructs the unique nose, flavor notes, and mouthfeel of the world's great liquors. Where the alcohol would have been, Free Spirits infuses vitamins B3 and B6 along with naturally uplifting amino acids like taurine for that little something extra. With Free Spirits, drinkers have complete control to 'dial-up' or 'dial-down' their favorite cocktail from replacing 1:1 to 'half and half' or beyond, without sacrificing taste. Free Spirits are made for those who refuse to compromise between a great cocktail and a great time. The days without complex and delicious non-alcoholic options are over, it is time to break free. Free Spirits - the good spirit of great cocktails.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — A second arrest has been made in a mass shooting in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where three people died and 14 were injured, police said.
Alexis Lewis, 36, was charged Monday with criminal homicide, reckless endangerment, and possession of a firearm during the commission or attempt to commit a dangerous felony, Chattanooga Police said in a statement.
Another man, Garrian King, was arrested last week and charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to court records. He was seen on security video with a gun, according to an affidavit.
The shooting happened near a nightclub early June 5 and police have said there were likely multiple shooters.
Fourteen of the 17 victims were hit by gunfire and another three were hit by vehicles while trying to flee the scene, Chattanooga Police Chief Celeste Murphy has said. Of the three who died, two were killed by gunfire and one was killed by a vehicle. Sixteen of the victims were adults and one was a juvenile.
It was not immediately clear whether Lewis has an attorney.
The shooting came one week after six juveniles were wounded during an exchange of gunfire in a downtown Chattanooga business district. | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/Police-arrest-second-suspect-in-Tennessee-mass-17240496.php | 2022-06-14T15:35:12Z | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/Police-arrest-second-suspect-in-Tennessee-mass-17240496.php | false | 14 |
Autopsy: Tyre Sampson, 14, died of blunt trauma in Florida drop-tower ride death
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — An autopsy says a Missouri teenager died of blunt force trauma after falling from a 430-foot Florida drop-tower amusement park ride.
The report Monday by the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office also ruled that 14-year-old Tyre Sampson’s death in March was an accident.
Sampson slipped out of his seat about halfway down the Free Fall ride located in a tourist area of Orlando. Sampson was there with a friend’s family for vacation.
The autopsy also showed that Sampson, who played football in the St. Louis area, weighed 383 pounds when he died.
An initial probe found sensors were adjusted manually to double the size of restraints on his seat.
Sampson’s parents sued the ride’s owner, manufacturer and landlord in April, claiming they were negligent and failed to provide a safe amusement ride. They said in the lawsuit that their son was not warned about the risks of someone of his size going on the ride and was not provided an appropriate restraint system.
While most free-fall rides have a shoulder harness and a seatbelt, the Orlando Free Fall ride had only an over-the-shoulder harness. Adding seatbelts to the ride’s 30 seats would have cost $660, the lawsuit said.

CareEdge Ratings said that aggregate deposits in the banking system stood at Rs165.7 trillion as on 20 May, a growth of 9.3% over the previous year. In absolute terms, bank deposits have increased by Rs.14.1 trillion over the last twelve months.
"The banking system has been sustaining a liquidity surplus since June 2019 on account of build-up deposits due to higher growth in bank deposits versus the credit disbursement, except for the last couple of fortnights," the report said on 13 June.
On 10 June, DBS Bank India hiked term deposit rates by 10-50 bps across tenors. Private lender Kotak Mahindra Bank also recently announced a rise in savings account interest rate as well as fixed deposit interest rates across various tenors.

Robert Powell murder: Mother of grandfather killed in Essex 'drive-by' shooting pleads for answers
The mother of an "awesome" grandfather who was gunned down in a drive-by shooting outside a party has written an open letter the public pleading for help to track down his killers.
Robert Powell, who was aged 50 at the time and a grandfather-of-two, was shot multiple times from a car on Water Lane in Roydon near Harlow in Essex on 13 June 2020.
He died in hospital the following day. Two other women were also shot but were not seriously injured.
Essex Police have since said that they believe three men were involved in the killing - and released their names and photos in the hope that the public can help track them down.
Officers have renewed their appeal for the public's help to track down Nana Oppong, 41, and Temitope Adeyinka, 37, both from Stratford in London, and Israar Shah, 36, from Brentwood in Essex, who were all "believed to have been involved".
Despite an extensive search, the three men remain at large.
To mark the second anniversary of his death, Mr Powell's mother said she was appealing to the "conscience" of anyone who may have information about what happened to help her and her family "find closure".
"I am asking all those who know something, or think they know something regarding his death to come forward and speak to Essex Police, who are leading the ongoing investigation into his murder," she wrote.
"Many of you knew my son personally, some of you were his friends, others may have heard about him, or heard his name mentioned in the circle of friends you hang out with.
"I do not believe in my heart that no one knows nothing, because everyone knows something, or has heard a rumour from somebody.
"The police need your help in finding these killers out there who are murdering our children. My son may have been 50 years of age when he died, but he was still my child.
“My son was an awesome person with a smile that still warms my heart. I’ve lost my son to violence, and I will not be the only mother who will make an appeal for information regarding the death of their child."
Essex Police said the force had trawled through more than 190 hours of CCTV footage, taken 119 statements and seized 661 exhibits - but still had not managed to find the killers.
“Although it will never bring Robert back to his family, we will not stop until those responsible are found and brought to justice," said Det Supt Stephen Jennings, of the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate.
“It’s never too late to make a difference and help Robert’s family, and it’s never too late to do the right thing and clear your conscience.”

Cigna: A Forgotten Gem
Summary
- Cigna does not get as much attention as other large healthcare companies but is growing at a rapid pace.
- The rising price of healthcare, increasing number of consumers with health insurance, and steady population growth will cause higher demand for the company's services.
- Management is making key decisions to increase shareholder value and improve the company, such as diversifying revenue, buying back shares, and offering a leading dividend.
Cigna (NYSE:CI) is an underappreciated health insurance company behind popular players like UnitedHealth Group (UNH) and Anthem (ANTM). However, the company's management is making smart decisions to diversify the revenue in its Evernorth segment and shift slightly more away from pharmacy benefits. Furthermore, the company's healthcare segment is growing rapidly and is even doubling the industry average. Cigna will also benefit greatly from the rising costs of health insurance and increased number of people with insurance. With all of this in mind, management's outlook for FY22, the share buyback program, a nice dividend, and current valuation make the stock attractive for an investment.
Evernorth is Diversifying and Healthcare is Doubling the Industry Growth Rate
Evernorth is Cigna's segment that includes pharmacy benefits management, specialty pharmacy services, clinical solutions, home delivery, and health management services. Evernorth is Cigna's largest segment by far and accounts for nearly 71% of revenue. In the company's recent investor day, management explained their goal to diversify its revenue away from pharmacy benefit services and more into specialty pharmacy and care services. Currently, the segment generates 55% of its revenue from pharmacy benefit services and 45% from specialty pharmacy and care services. Management would like to swap these percentages and have specialty pharmacy and care services account for 55% of revenue.
Cigna's Healthcare segment is also seeing major success from management's decisions. This U.S. Commercial subsegment is growing by over double the industry average growth rate. From 2018-2021, Cigna U.S. Commercial healthcare grew its revenue by 7.1% annually, while the industry average only came in at 3.5%. One reason for this is Cigna's rising popularity among employers, as total employment will improve the segment's total revenue by about 1%. Furthermore, rising prices for health care will improve the company's revenue growth by up to 6% in the upcoming years. Finally, Cigna's general baseline growth the company has already been experiencing will increase the company's revenue growth by 4%-7%. With all of this combined, Cigna will easily be able to outperform the rest of the industry and provide great shareholder value.
Rising Insurance Costs and Number of People Employed Will Drive Fundamentals Higher
As stated previously, a large portion of Cigna's expected growth will come from higher health care spending and more people paying for health care. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, recently announced they expect national health spending to increase 5.1% annually through 2030 to reach a total of $6.8 trillion. It is important to mention that this is also accounting for the decline in healthcare spending that came after the COVID-19 pandemic began fading. This trend is expected to begin normalizing in 2024 as federal supplement funding for COVID-19 wanes. In 2024, the government's share of national health spending is expected to decrease to 46%, which was at an all-time high at 51% in 2020. After the declining trend normalizes in 2024, the average annual growth rate in healthcare spending is expected to increase to 5.3%. This growth in spending will allow Cigna to improve its fundamentals massively and drive the stock price higher.
Another large portion of Cigna's future growth will be caused by more people paying for health insurance. The increased number of people with health insurance will cause more consumers to use Cigna's services and lead to the company's fundamentals driving higher. From 1990 to 2020, the number of U.S. consumers with health insurance increased by 83 million people. As long as this trend continues, the demand for Cigna's services will increase with it.
The rising population in the United States will also lead to more consumers using Cigna's services. The average annual growth rate of the United States population is about 0.9%. In the long-run, this will allow Cigna to have more customers every year and more people employed that will get Cigna's services through their employer.
Management Gave Great Guidance and Is Continuing to Buy Back Shares
In the company's recent investor day, management gave great guidance in-line with analyst estimates. For FY22, management is expecting an EPS of at least $22.60. Furthermore, the medical care ratio will be between 82%-83.5% and the total growth of medical customers will be at least 725,000. Furthermore, Evernorth is expecting about $6.1 billion for income from operations, while Cigna Healthcare is expecting about $3.95 billion for income from operations.
Also, the company is continuing to follow its share buyback program and pay off its debt. From 2022-2026, the company is expecting about $50 billion in cash flow from operations. $40 billion of this will be used to return value to the shareholder. Specifically, 20% will be given in the form of a dividend, 10% will be used to repay debt, and 70% will be used for share buybacks and M&A. It is also important to mention Cigna has the highest dividend yield of any of the major healthcare competitors at 1.8%. With all of this extra value a shareholder receives, it may be a good buy if the price is attractive.
Valuation
For valuing Cigna's stock, I used both a discounted cash flow and relative valuation. For the DCF, I used management's expectation for EPS of $22.60 in FY22, as well as their estimated 10% annual growth rate to determine future EPS.
After using the company's average FCF/Net Income ratio of 107.5%, I projected out future free cash flows. By using a 9.5% discount rate to give a nice premium over average AAA corporate bonds and a 2.5% perpetual growth rate, a fair value of $328.79 can be calculated. This gives the stock an implied upside of about 35.73%.
For the relative valuation, I used the average multiples for EV/Revenue, EV/EBITDA, P/E, and P/S of Cigna and its competitors and combined them with consensus analyst estimates for FY22. After adjusting for the company's cash and debt and dividing by the number of shares outstanding, a fair value of $414.50 can be calculated, implying an upside of 71.12%.
What Does This Mean for Investors?
Cigna is an underappreciated healthcare stock that often gets pushed aside of leaders like UnitedHealth Group and Anthem. Management is making key decisions to diversify its revenue in its Evernorth segment, while the U.S. Healthcare segment is growing at over double the rate of the industry average. The company will see great benefits from the increasing price of healthcare, the rising number of people who have health insurance, and the rising U.S. population. Furthermore, a shareholder is getting a stock with a great margin of safety and extra value through a leading dividend and high share buybacks. With all of this in mind, I believe applying a Buy rating is appropriate at this time.

Baaeed ensured Royal Ascot 2022 started with a bang as he produced another dominant display in the curtain-raising Queen Anne Stakes.
Unbeaten in seven previous starts and so impressive on his seasonal reappearance in the Lockinge at Newbury last month, the William Haggas-trained four-year-old was sent off the 1-6 favourite under Jim Crowley.
Always travelling powerfully over the straight mile, the Sea The Stars colt quickened smartly two furlongs out and soon stamped his authority on the Group One contest as he kicked comfortably clear.
Baaeed only had to be pushed out hands and heels in the closing stages to score by a length and three-quarters, with the front-running Real World a clear second, just as he was in the Lockinge.
Haggas was a relieved man afterwards – and pointed towards York’s Juddmonte International in August for an eagerly-awaited step to a mile and quarter.
He said: “He won nicely, he didn’t really do a lot really.
“He looked like he tracked the right horse, the other horse ran well actually, but I don’t think he was extended fully.
“You can’t learn anything from that, he travels well and settles well and that’s pretty important if you’re going up in trip.
“I’ll speak to Sheikha Hissa and Angus (Gold, racing manager), but I think we are all keen to give it (stepping up in trip) a go and that will be at York and there’s potentially Goodwood (Sussex Stakes) in the meantime.
“He’s obviously a good miler and he’s bred to get further so I think we’d like to try and I think it would be remiss of us not too. It would be the easy option to stay at a mile.”
He went on: “It’s great because he is now doing it regularly in Group One races. It is exciting, I haven’t really seen it properly, but he didn’t really look like he was extended today. I had done 6,000 steps by six o’clock this morning – my doctor will be thrilled with me.
“I do feel a little bit of pressure, but I’m a bit more relaxed now.
“If everyone enjoys him, it’s great. We are very lucky to have him. We will possibly go to the Sussex Stakes, possibly.
“As Maureen said this morning, I said, ‘oh a bit of pressure today’, but she said we are much better off we are not at Thirsk today – we are much better off being here under a bit of pressure. So thank God he has won. He is very nice.”
Crowley added: “I just let him stretch out for the last furlong of the race. It was like clockwork.
“It’s the pinnacle. You spend your whole life waiting for a horse like this to come along. Everyone says to enjoy it, but there is a lot of pressure. But I love it and I enjoy it. It’s why we do it. Sheikh Hamdan would be looking down smiling and I’m so pleased that Sheikha Hissa is here today.
“William and Maureen Haggas have done an unbelievable job with him and it is a pleasure to get on him and do the steering.”
Sheikha Hissa, who assumed control of Shadwell after her father Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum died last year, said: “It is very exciting, especially as he is a home-bred as well. He has brought us so much joy, especially at this time. Especially last year – it was a joy to watch him.
“Hopefully we will be stepping him up – whether he goes to the Sussex or straight to the Juddmonte, we’ll see.
“Obviously his brother (Coronation Cup winner Hukum) and all of his family have been stepped up, so he has been bred for that. He has shown some speed, so William and I were adamant he will stay at a mile until we see he is ready – and I think he is ready.
“We all feel pressure when he runs. I promised myself that I will enjoy it whatever happens, because I don’t know when I will see a horse like this again. Whether in five years’ time I look back and we are always stressed – that defeats the purpose doesn’t it. We will try to enjoy it as much as possible.
“I have so much pride (to take on my father’s baton). I hope I do him justice. I hope that there are many more from this bloodline that we can enjoy, because he worked very hard on it.
“We have had conversations (about the breeding) all the time, so it is nice to enjoy something that he bred himself.”
The admirable Real World is also heading up in trip, with Sandown on the cards before a potential rematch on the Knavesmire.
His trainer Saeed bin Suroor said: “Baaeed is different class, it is the same result as at Newbury in the Lockinge. Real World ran well, he was just beaten by a better horse. He is getting closer, but not close enough!
“I am thinking about a mile and a quarter, maybe the Eclipse in two weeks. I would be keen to run him, but I need to see how he comes back from here. Maybe also the Juddmonte after.”

Red Robin employee killed inside Arizona restaurant during suspected robbery, police say
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (KTVK/KPHO/Gray News) – An employee at a Red Robin in Arizona was killed inside the restaurant during a suspected robbery, according to detectives.
Salt River police said detectives found the employee’s body inside the restaurant Sunday.
Officers said they received a call from an employee in the morning who said one of the doors to the restaurant had been broken into. When police arrived around 9:30 a.m., they entered the restaurant and found a body inside.
Investigators have not clarified if the employee who called them is the same employee who was found dead.
The victim’s name has not yet been released.
David Stovall, a service technician who was fixing the restaurant’s broken doors after the slaying, said glass from the doors was sent 20 feet into the parking lot.
“I don’t know if it was a bullet, hammer, rock, but something with force,” Stovall said. “I fix a lot of doors every day, and this is pretty messed up. Most of the stuff I fix is just wear and tear, but this was damage, physical damage.”
A spokesperson for Red Robin said in a statement that the company is “heartbroken for this tragic loss” and working with local authorities as they investigate.
The Salt River Police Department is asking anyone with information to call them at (480) 850-9230.

MANCHESTER UNITED manager Erik ten Hag reportedly failed in a late move to snatch Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich’s clutches.
The 20-year-old Dutch midfielder confirmed his £21million transfer switch from Ajax to the Bundesliga champions over the weekend.
That was after Gravenberch had spoken to Erik ten Hag over potentially following his ex-mentor at Ajax to Old Trafford this summer.
However, he has now revealed that he snubbed that opportunity as he had “given Bayern his word” that he would join.
Speaking to De Telegraaf, Gravenberch said: “Manchester United is a very big and nice club. But I already had such a good feeling at Bayern and I had them given my word.”
He also shared his excitement about linking up with his ex Ajax team-mate Noussair Mazraoui at Bayern.
The star has arrived on a free transfer on a deal until 2026.
Gravenberch said: “I like the fact that Nous [Noussair Mazraoui] is going there [Bayern Munich] too. It's always nice when you already know someone.'
“My mother will come to live with me in Munich. And my father will be here a lot to take care of all kinds of things, so that I can fully focus on football.
“I hope to find a house in the coming weeks. Otherwise, I will spend the first few weeks in a hotel.”

MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST:
A nascent neo-Nazi group in New England is attempting to recruit new members. It's doing this by raising its public profile and latching on to Republican talking points that were once considered fringe. From member station WGBH in Boston, here's senior investigative reporter Phillip Martin.
PHILLIP MARTIN, BYLINE: A video posted last summer on social media provided a rare look inside the strategic planning of an upstart neo-Nazi movement. In the video, Chris Hood, the 23-year-old founder of the Nationalist Socialist Club, or NSC-131, gave instructions to a University of Massachusetts Lowell student named Liam McNeil.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
CHRIS HOOD: Well, if you're in college, you should be getting together with all the other guys on campus that think like you, start going to all the frat parties and bullying the troops that race mix and just start dominating the parties, take over the campus.
LIAM MCNEIL: We could do that.
MARTIN: Hood and 23-year-old McNeil are part of a tiny but growing clique of white nationalists who have begun loudly announcing their presence across New England.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
HOOD: I mean, we're pretty much like a frat but racist.
MARTIN: Oren Segal describes Massachusetts-based NSC-131 differently.
OREN SEGAL: It's a small neo-Nazi group.
MARTIN: Segal is president of the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism.
SEGAL: Those who identify with this group view themselves as soldiers, essentially, who are at war with the Jewish-controlled system that is plotting the extinction of the white race.
MARTIN: Segal says the group appears to have escalated its activities in the wake of last year's attempted insurrection in the U.S. Capitol, where members of NSC-131 were present. This greatly concerns Gregory Fried, professor of philosophy at Boston College and an expert on authoritarianism.
GREGORY FRIED: We should use January 6 as a reality check. Those were the shock troops of an attempted coup on the American political system.
MARTIN: In New England, NSC-131 have hung racist banners from highway overpasses, rallied in front of hospitals and joined mainstream conservatives to protest vaccine mandates and anti-racist education. The group has conducted martial arts and firearms training in state forests.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: White power, white power.
MARTIN: Law enforcement officials have taken notice, including U.S. attorney for Massachusetts Rachael Rollins, who is coordinating with colleagues in the region.
RACHAEL ROLLINS: All of the U.S. attorneys in New England, we've been discussing this not just with guns running through our various states or human trafficking running through our various states. There's also hate running through our various states.
MARTIN: Rollins has suggested that NSC-131 and other far-right extremists should be classified as street gangs. In January, 30 neo-Nazis rallied near Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital, protesting programs to establish racial equity in medicine. The rhetoric of the far-right demonstrators was identical to a patently false assertion made days earlier by former President Donald Trump at a rally in Arizona.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
DONALD TRUMP: The left is now rationing lifesaving therapeutics based on race, discriminating against and denigrating - just denigrating white people to determine who lives and who dies.
MARTIN: Robert Treston, director of the Anti-Defamation League of New England, fears that Trump's amplification of white grievances has helped NSC-131 boost its membership.
ROBERT TRESTAN: And we know this because their demonstration in front of Brigham and Women's Hospital actually drew more people than we've seen at previous protests.
MARTIN: In March, as floats passed by at the St. Patrick's Day parade in South Boston, two dozen NSC members unfurled a banner reading keep Boston Irish. Some in the crowd reacted with bafflement and curiosity. Others, like lifelong resident William Goode, who is white, were outraged that the group had assumed they would find support in this neighborhood, once a bastion of violent white resistance to school desegregation.
WILLIAM GOODE: I don't like Nazis. This neighborhood's still recovering from an ugly history of racism. And these people aren't part of my community, and they're not welcome.
MARTIN: NSC-131 received a similarly frosty reception on the campus of UMass Lowell, where Liam McNeil hoped to recruit. A sophomore who would only give her first name, Mary, who was white said she's not interested.
MARY: It makes me wildly uncomfortable, and I think it poses a safety risk for the other students here.
MARTIN: But Awa, a member of the Black Student Union who also gave only her first name, said that a white extremist presence on campus was par for the course.
AWA: Once Trump became president, a lot of people got that courage to come out and show their true colors.
MARTIN: The ADL reported that incidents of white supremacist propaganda more than doubled on campuses from 2018 to 2019 to an historic high of more than 600 incidents nationwide that year. Over the past year, dozens of students have protested McNeil's presence on this campus, saying he should be expelled. But the administration said it could not kick him out because of the principle of academic freedom. Still, the pressure seems to have taken a toll. In a recent phone call, McNeil's father told me that the protest had an impact and Liam McNeil is no longer enrolled at the university. For NPR News, I'm Phillip Martin in Boston.

Leading Teen & Young Adult Mental Health Treatment Provider Renews Support & Completes Employee Training
NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second year, Newport Healthcare is celebrating Pride Month and ongoing allyship with the LGBTQ community through Corporate Partnership with The Trevor Project, the world's largest suicide prevention and mental health organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning young people. Newport Healthcare has also completed The Trevor Project's in-depth Ally Training program, led by Trevor's public education team, that was rolled out to more than 1,900 employees.
According to The Trevor Project's 2022 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health, 45% of LGBTQ youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year, and nearly 1 in 5 transgender and nonbinary youth attempted suicide. Sadly, 60% of LGBTQ youth who wanted mental health care in the past year were not able to get it.
"Our nation is in the midst of a youth mental health crisis and our LGBTQ youth are struggling at exponentially higher rates," said Joe Procopio, CEO of Newport Healthcare. "Our work with The Trevor Project affirms our commitment to this community, to supporting their mental health needs with educated clinicians and an inclusive treatment environment, and financially supporting the efforts of The Trevor Project's critical mission to end LGBTQ youth suicide."
Newport worked closely with The Trevor Project and hosted tailored trainings for staff and clinicians that covered essential, informed principles for working with LGBTQ young people. These trainings are required of every employee to ensure a culture of allyship for Newport's LGBTQ clients, as well as with their LGBTQ colleagues.
Newport Healthcare's nationwide treatment programs serve individuals ages 12-27 who are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, and co-occurring eating disorder or substance use issues. According to data from The Trevor Project, 73% of LGBTQ youth report experiencing symptoms of anxiety and 58% experience symptoms of depression. Additionally, LGBTQ youth are four times more likely to attempt suicide than their straight, cisgender peers, and are at significantly increased risk for suicide because of how they are mistreated and stigmatized in society.
The Trevor Project works to save young LGBTQ lives by providing support through free and confidential crisis intervention programs via a 24/7 phone lifeline, chat, and text services. The organization also runs TrevorSpace, the world's largest safe space social networking site for LGBTQ youth, and operates innovative education, research, and advocacy programs.

In an interview with The Sunday Times Style Magazine: "There was a time when you go, ‘Oh, I'm changing. I'm looking older.' And I tried to chase that [youthfulness] for years. And I didn't realize that, oh [expletive], I'm actually looking really strange with injections and doing stuff to my face that I would never do now."
Courtney Cox is very grateful to have her teenage daughter
Courteney shares her daughter with her ex-husband, David Arquette, and they went through a lot to have Coco.
They underwent two rounds of IVF and several miscarriages too. Speaking about the experience to NBC, she said: "I had a lot of miscarriages and I don't think that's something people shouldn't talk about because it's… unfortunate, but it happens.
"I just think it's important to get things out there so people can realize they're not alone."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A gas station security guard who shot a man during a confrontation over a beer has been charged with murder, according to an arrest report.
Tavon Parrish, 31, was working security at a Thornton’s in downtown Louisville when the shooting happened Sunday night, news outlets reported.
Parrish, of Jeffersonville, Indiana, told police that he confronted the man about allegedly stealing a beer. The two argued, and Parrish said he shot the man because he believed the man wanted to fight him, news outlets reported, citing the arrest record.
The man died at the scene. His name wasn't immediately released.
Parrish was charged after police spoke to witnesses and reviewed surveillance footage, the arrest report said.
It wasn't clear whether Parrish has an attorney. | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Security-guard-charged-with-murder-in-gas-station-17240614.php | 2022-06-14T15:53:26Z | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Security-guard-charged-with-murder-in-gas-station-17240614.php | false | null |
Jan. 6 committee postpones hearing scheduled for Wednesday
The select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has postponed the hearing scheduled for Wednesday.

Police: House Republican’s tour of Capitol before Jan. 6 wasn’t suspicious
WASHINGTON (AP) — Police have determined that there is nothing suspicious about a tour of U.S. Capitol office buildings that a House Republican gave about 15 people the day before the Jan. 6 attack by rioting supporters of then-President Donald Trump.
The House committee investigating the 2021 insurrection examined whether rioters had been involved in reconnaissance and surveillance before the attack, and Democrats suggested some Republican members may have helped them. But there has been no public evidence of that.
Rep. Barry Loudermilk, a Republican from Georgia, was simply showing his constituents around, Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger in a letter sent Monday.
Manger’s letter to Rep. Rodney Davis, the top Republican on the House Administration Committee, came a few weeks after the House committee investigating the insurrection had asked Loudermilk for more information about the tour it said he led the day before the attack.
Police reviewed surveillance video showing Loudermilk leading a tour of about 15 people in the Rayburn and Cannon House office buildings, Manger said.
Republicans on the House Administration Committee — Loudermilk is a member — had previously said they reviewed security footage from Jan. 5 and said there were “no tours, no large groups, no one with MAGA hats on.”
But Reps. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi and Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the chairman and vice-chairwoman of the separate Jan. 6 committee contended last month that their review of the evidence “directly contradicts that denial.”
Loudermilk has said the Jan. 5 tour was with a constituent family and took place in the House office buildings and not inside the Capitol building. He and Davis had called on Capitol Police in May to release surveillance video.
The Capitol complex includes 20 buildings and facilities, including House and Senate offices. Underground tunnels connect most of the buildings to the Capitol.
“At no time did the group appear in any tunnels that would have led them to the U.S. Capitol,” Manger wrote in the letter.
Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., a Jan. 6 committee member, said Tuesday the panel would still like to hear Loudermilk’s testimony and would like to show the video referenced by the Davis letter to let the public decide.
“What Republicans said last year was false — that there were no tours, no MAGA hats — that was patently false.”
Capitol Police say the tour was thoroughly examined and there was nothing suspicious about it.
“There is no evidence that Representative Loudermilk entered the U.S. Capitol with this group on January 5, 2021,” Manger said. “We train our officers on being alert for people conducting surveillance or reconnaissance, and we do not consider any of the activities we observed as suspicious.”

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — With a war raging across Poland's eastern border, the right-wing government is introducing a law to increase medical and infrastructure security in emergency situations.
The draft presented Tuesday by government ministers in charge of national security calls for funds to be secured in state coffers each year for the development of local first responders, for an ambulance in each county and for improving the 112 emergency call system.
It also gives regional governors more powers in emergency situations and secures for them funds dedicated to quick reaction in case of natural disasters and emergency situations. It raises to 10,000 zlotys ($2,200) from the current 6,000 zlotys the amount of money families can receive in quick response to house damage.
Poland’s key politician, main ruling party leader and deputy prime minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski, said the decisions were dictated by recent developments like the COVID-19 pandemic, floods and major fires, but also by the sudden inflow of almost 4 million war refugees from Ukraine since Russia’s invasion Feb.24.

The draft needs approval from the parliament and from President Andrzej Duda, who is a government ally.

Maybe Serena Williams is going to play at Wimbledon this year, after all. She sure made it seem that way in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
Williams has not competed anywhere since getting injured during the first set of her first-round match at the All England Club a year ago. And her name did not appear on the women’s singles entry list released by the grass-court Grand Slam tournament earlier this month.
But on Tuesday, Williams posted a photo of her white shoes on what appears to be a grass court and the message: “SW and SW19. It’s a date. 2022. See you there. Let’s Go.”
“SW” are her initials, of course, and “SW19” is the postal code for Wimbledon.
The All England Club is scheduled to announce wild-card invitations on Wednesday. It’s possible Williams could be given spots in the singles and doubles draws.
The 40-year-old American has won seven of her Open era-record 23 major singles championships at Wimbledon, most recently in 2016.
Williams was the runner-up there in 2018 and 2019 (the tournament was canceled in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic).

Tuesday, June 14, 2022 – A new opinion poll conducted by Mizani Africa shows that Siaya Senator, James Orengo has no chance of clinching the Siaya gubernatorial seat during the August 9th General Election.
The poll which was made public on Thursday showed during the election United Democratic Movement (UDM) Nicholus Gumbo will win the seat by garnering 46.1 percent of the total votes cast.
Orengo, who is vying for the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party and is a close ally of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga will emerge second with 44.7 percent.
George Mbeya, who is an independent candidate emerged third with 6.7 percent.
This implies that the ODM party has to do more in order to maintain the county that is the home to Raila Odinga who is the Azimio –One Kenya Alliance presidential candidate in August.
Here is the graphical representation of the Siaya gubernatorial contest according to the Mizani Africa poll.

BOSTON — The scourge of opioid addiction continues to impact Massachusetts with new data showing a spike in heroin- and fentanyl-related overdose deaths last year.
There were 2,290 confirmed or suspected opioid-related deaths in 2021 — 8.8% higher than in 2020, according to a report released last week by the state Department of Public Health.
DPH attributed the rise in death rates to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and an “increasingly poisoned drug supply, primarily with the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl.”
Fentanyl was present in 93% of the overdose deaths where a toxicology report was available, officials noted.
After several years of decline, opioid-related overdose deaths increased during the pandemic both in the state and nationally.
There were 2,104 confirmed opioid-related deaths in Massachusetts in 2020 — a 5% rise over the previous year, according to state health data.
Still, preliminary data shows 551 opioid overdose deaths in the first three months of 2022, a 4% decrease over the same period last year.
DPH officials also point out that the state’s opioid overdose death rate continues to “trend lower” than nationwide figures.
More than 10,000 people have died from opioid-related overdoses in the state in the past five years, according to public health data.
Massachusetts isn’t alone in the uptick of opioid-related deaths during the pandemic. Nationally, opioid-related overdose deaths soared to a record 107,000 in 2021 — a 15% increase over 2020, according U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC says that translates to roughly one U.S. overdose death every 5 minutes.
Curbing opioid addiction has been a major focus on Beacon Hill for a number of years with hundreds of millions of dollars being devoted to expanding treatment and prevention efforts.
In 2016, Gov. Charlie Baker and lawmakers pushed through a raft of rules aimed at curbing the over-prescribing of opioids. Those included a cap on new opioid prescriptions written in any seven-day period.
In a statement Baker said the rise in deaths “underscores the harmful impact that the COVID-19 pandemic and the scourge of fentanyl have had on those struggling with addiction.
Baker said his administration is “committed to continuing our work with the Legislature and our colleagues in the addiction and recovery community to boost access to services and treatment.”
In April, Attorney General Maura Healey agreed to a multi-billion dollar settlement with OxyContin-maker Purdue Pharma and its owners, the Sackler family, over their roles in the opioid addiction crisis. The state is expected to get $90 million out of the settlement.
Lawmakers are considering a number of bills in the current session aimed at expanding treatment options for people struggling with opioid addiction.
