How to Breathe Whilst Running
Sport & Activity
Much like running itself, there's a technique to breathing whilst running. If you find yourself breathless but are physically energised, it's a sign you may need to adjust your breathing pattern.
Our breath is powerful. Different breath patterns can alter your state of being. That's why during meditation and yoga, you are encouraged to take longer, deeper, slower breaths. It actually calms your nervous system and shifts you into a parasympathetic state—in other words ready to 'rest and digest'. This enables you to connect with your body in the present moment and combat stress.
Then there's the type of breathing you practise on a run. Some runners get into a meditative state whilst running. Their breathing is steady and constant. They get into the flow of the run and may feel like they can continue forever. That's the goal. But for a lot of beginners, huffing and puffing soon into a run is often the obstacle that prevents them from going the distance.
Interestingly, it's common for beginners to say, 'I'm not tired, I'm just out of breath!' Could that be a sign of lower cardiorespiratory fitness? In part. But there's more to it. There's a technique to breathing whilst running, much like there is a technique to running itself. You want to run with your chest up, engaging your core and gazing ahead. You want to power your arms at your side and land on the balls of your feet.
The correct running form is talked about often, but the correct breathing form for running isn't. So how can you control your breathing whilst running? What's the best way to breathe whilst running?
Why Does Your Breathing Rate Increase Whilst Running?
When you inhale, you breathe in air. This air enters your lungs, and oxygen from that air enters your blood. Then, carbon dioxide, a waste product from energy production, enters the lungs from the blood and is breathed out when you exhale. The oxygenated blood travels around your body to your working muscles. These are the basics of gas exchange, but it's helpful to understand when considering the importance of breathing whilst running.
When you exercise, your muscles are working hard. The oxygen that is sent to your muscles is used to convert glucose into something called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the energy source that fuels the movement of contractions in working muscles. This creates a higher demand for oxygen, and it also increases the production of carbon dioxide. To keep up, your breathing rate increases to bring in more oxygen for your muscles.
You might assume that breathing more quickly helps to draw in more oxygen. But this isn't actually the case.
Why Is It Important to Know How to Breathe Whilst Running?
Quick, shallow breathing causes the body to offload more carbon dioxide. This makes it harder for the cells to be oxygenated. This type of rapid chest breathing doesn't draw in enough oxygen-rich breath, so your muscles run out of oxygen. Without enough oxygen, the available glucose in the working muscles is converted to lactic acid. As a result, your muscles cramp, you might get a side stitch and you start to feel exhausted.
It's normal for your breathing rate to increase whilst running. But if you start rapid, shallow breathing, it'll only be so long before you have to take a few minutes to catch your breath. Even after your run, you'll be short of breath, despite not feeling like you worked very hard.
This is more of a concern for beginner runners, partly because your muscles are still learning to utilise oxygen efficiently. Regular exercise increases muscle function, requiring less oxygen and producing less carbon dioxide with every contraction. This reduces the amount of air you need to inhale and exhale to do the work.
The more you exercise, the stronger your heart and lung function will be. This can be measured by taking your VO2 max, also known as maximal oxygen consumption. Experienced runners have a higher VO2 max, an indicator that their body is using oxygen more efficiently and they have enhanced lung capacity. Plus, they are more likely to have mastered the art of rhythmic breathing.
Ultimately, controlled and rhythmic breathing is the best way to breathe whilst running. Here are a few types of breath you can practise on your next run.
The Best Way to Breathe Whilst Running
1.Nasal Breathing
The nose is designed for the intake of air. The nasal passages filter out foreign bodies and warm the air on its journey to your lungs. This can be helpful for runners with asthma, which can be triggered by dry and cold air entering the lungs. Nose breathing whilst running allows more oxygen into the muscle cells than mouth breathing. This is due to the release of nitric oxide. It expands blood vessels in the lungs, increasing the efficiency of gas exchange.
A study published in the International Journal of Kinesiology and Sports Science compared nasal to oral breathing in a group of runners. Those who practised nasal breathing expelled more carbon dioxide and less oxygen, an indication that the maximum oxygen is being absorbed in the bloodstream. The rate of breathing was also slower: 39.2 breaths per minute vs. 49.4 breaths per minute in the mouth-breathing group.
How to Nasal Breathe Whilst Running:
- First, set your running pace.
- Then, inhale through the nose for a count of two.
- Exhale through the nose for a count of two.
- The inhale/exhale counts may be longer depending on your pace. The goal is to align your stride with your breathing. For example, inhale when your right foot hits the ground, exhale when the left foot hits the ground.
When is Nasal Breathing Used?
Nasal breathing is best used when runners have a steady pace for longer distances. Long-distance or marathon runners that are used to maintaining a pace with a lower heart rate are better suited to nasal breathing.
2.Mouth Breathing
Breathing in and out through your mouth might be most comfortable to you whilst running. The benefit of breathing through the mouth is you are able to take bigger breaths than if you breathe through your nose. During intense exercise, this can give you a feeling of relief.
But if you're mouth breathing when running, make sure you avoid shallow breaths. Aim to take deep breaths that reach your diaphragm.
When is Mouth Breathing Used?
If you have congestion in your nose, mouth breathing is a suitable alternative. For some types of running, like sprints or high-intensity interval training, mouth breathing might be a natural shift. You naturally want to intake more air, and the mouth can do that.
A study examined the effects of mouth breathing vs. nasal breathing during high-intensity anaerobic exercise. The researchers found that the respiratory exchange ratio, a measure of your oxidative capacity, was higher in the group who practised mouth breathing. That supports the use of mouth breathing at a higher running intensity.
3.Diaphragmatic Mouth and Nose Breathing
The most common way to breathe during a run is to breathe in through the nose all the way to your diaphragm, and out through the mouth. It's the type of breath that is often recommended in yoga, because it has an array of benefits connected to performance. Diaphragmatic, or belly breathing, encourages full oxygen exchange which is linked to:
- Lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone)
- Lower blood pressure
- Better core activation
- Increased lung capacity
How to Do Diaphragmatic Breathing Whilst Running:
There are various ways to use this type of breathing to improve running performance.
To Warm Up for a Run:
- Prior to your run, start by inhaling through the nose, taking deep belly breaths up to a count of seven.
- Forcefully breathe out through the mouth until you have expelled all the air in your body.
This breath will warm up and activate your core to prepare for the run.
To Recover from a Run: 4–7–8 Breathing Technique
- Lay on your back or sit in a comfortable upright position.
- Inhale slowly through your nose for a count of four, letting your belly rise fully as if you are filling up a balloon.
- Hold the air in your lungs up to a count of seven.
- Exhale through the mouth for a count of eight.
This breathing exercise will calm your nervous system and enhance exercise recovery.
Whilst Running:
- Inhale through your nose for a count of three.
- Exhale through your mouth for a count of five.
- This may be adjusted to align with your stride. The goal is to achieve controlled, rhythmic breathing. | https://www.nike.com/my/a/how-to-breathe-while-running | 2022-06-14T16:10:12Z | https://www.nike.com/my/a/how-to-breathe-while-running | false | 11 |
Peter Booth Electrical Contractors have installed and registered a defibrillator outside their shop door on Stafford Road for the public to use 24 hours a day.
The defibrillator was self-funded and co-owner Clare Booth said: "We just thought the more defibrillators in Newport the better.
"There wasn't really one near us and because we are on a busy road, we felt it would be better for the residents here because you never know when someone is going to need one.
"It's outside the front of the shop now so it's there, freely available for everyone, should they need it.
"We try to help the local community as much as we can. Pete and I are both born and bred in Newport so want to help as much as we can and this is something else we felt we wanted to do."
The company had previously held collections for items to send to war-torn Ukraine as well as raising more than £1,000 for cancer research through Race for Life. | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/local-hubs/telford/newport/2022/06/14/newport-company-funds-life-saving-defibrillator-for-community/ | 2022-06-14T16:15:22Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/local-hubs/telford/newport/2022/06/14/newport-company-funds-life-saving-defibrillator-for-community/ | true | 1 |

Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser that’s had an increasing focus on privacy over the past few years. In 2021 Mozilla added a feature called Total Cookie Protection designed to prevent cookies deposited by one website from continuing to track your behavior as you visit other sites. At the time, the feature was optional and needed to be turned on by users.
Now Mozilla says it’s enabling Total Cookie Protection by default for all Firefox users (or at least everyone using the desktop version of the browser).
In a nutshell that means that if a website deposits a cookie in your browsing for advertising, analytics, or other purposes, that cookie will now basically be stored in a jar that only applies to that website. This will prevent Facebook, Google, or other companies from tracking you as you surf the web and make it tougher for them to build profile of your behavior.
This doesn’t mean there’s no tracking, and Total Cookie Protection isn’t an ad blocker. Websites can still deposit cookies and collect data. It’s just that by default Firefox isolates cookies on a per-site basis, which means that next time you search for a new pair of shoes in Firefox, you might be spared from seeing ads for shoes for the next three months on every site you visit.
Mozilla also plans to enable Total Cookie Protection by default for Firefox users with Android devices in the future, but the company doesn’t have a clear path for enabling the feature in Firefox for iOS, since Apple requires all third-party iOS browsers to be based on the same WebKit engine as Apple’s Safari browser.
Meanwhile Google has announced plans to phase out support for 3rd-party cookies in its Chrome web browser in the coming years, but the company, which makes most of its money through advertising, plans to hold off on doing that until it’s established a suitable alternative… something the company has struggled to do so far. | https://liliputing.com/2022/06/firefox-now-offers-total-cookie-protection-by-default-blocking-cross-site-trackers.html | 2022-06-14T16:24:32Z | https://liliputing.com/2022/06/firefox-now-offers-total-cookie-protection-by-default-blocking-cross-site-trackers.html | true | 1 |

She revealed that she had informed the production of the Comedy Circus of the death of her mother-in-law. " The production house asked me to give the reactions and go. The reactions were laughter and I gave general comments. I still can’t forget I was sitting there laughing and laughing and I was blank in the head. All I could think of was seeing my mother-in-law’s face. It was a traumatic time".

During the same conversation, Archana even revealed that her son was injured while playing a football match in England and was brought to India for treatment and even at that time she was shooting, "From inside I was crying but I could not show it on my face," she said.
While Archana who is known to laugh even at the drop of a hat revealed that initially she used to not laugh at many jokes and the production team started editing her laughs and using them on lame jokes. "They would take my laughter reactions on some other jokes and use it for other poor gags or punches". She even added that she warned the production people to stop doing these edits and if they continue to do, she will leave the show.
While Archana is very much aware of the jokes and memes on her and she has no qualms about it saying that she makes money out of laughing and will continue to do the same. Archana is right now the prominent part of The Kapil Sharma Show and the host of the show Kapil often cracks jokes on her and she takes it with a big laughter every time.

Documents rediscovered: Sojourner Truth’s fight to save son from slavery
(AP) - In 1828, years before she took the name Sojourner Truth, a Black woman who had escaped slavery with her infant daughter won a court fight in New York’s Hudson Valley to bring her son, Peter, home from Alabama.
It was a historic case of a Black woman seeking the release of her son from slavery prevailing in court against a white man. Isabella Van Wagenen, as she was known then, would gain enduring fame as an outspoken abolitionist and women’s rights advocate. As for her deposition and the rest of the court documents, they were boxed up and eventually stored among a million other records, unseen and unrecognized for their significance.
Until 194 years later.
An eagle-eyed state archivist searching for something else spotted the court records in January. Now, they will briefly be on public display Wednesday at the Ulster County Courthouse in Kingston, New York, the same building she walked into almost two centuries ago seeking justice. The eight hand-written pages offer new details about a significant turning point in her eventful life.
“This was extremely brave of Isabella,” said Nell Irvin Painter, author of “Sojourner Truth: A Life, A Symbol.” “Just the fact that she was a woman going up against powerful men, that’s extraordinary right there. And then you add in race, and then you add in class. So it’s an amazing story.”
Painter will be among the people in Kingston on Wednesday, eager to glimpse the historic documents found by happenstance.
For the past 40 years, the papers have been safely, if anonymously, stored at the climate-controlled New York State Archives in Albany. They were uncovered there by Jim Folts, head of researcher services at the archives, who had been looking for habeas corpus examples from that era for a history book on New York’s courts.
Combing through boxes of documents, he found one from 1828. It had a woman’s name on it, which was unusual for the time. Interest piqued, he read the yellowed paper and saw the woman, Isabella Van Wagenen, was trying to recover her son from slavery.
“That rang the bell,” Folts said recently in an interview at the archives, “because Isabella Van Wagenen was then the name of the person who became known as Sojourner Truth.”
Researchers compare the surprising find to coming across missing puzzle pieces. Though Truth later recalled that the event happened in open court in the autumn of 1828, court papers indicate it happened that spring, and not in open court, Folts said. In her brief deposition, she said Peter was 9 years old.
“We always wondered, ‘Where were these records?’” said Paul O’Neill, Ulster County’s commissioner of jurors.
The documents are written in the same sort of lawyer-speak still used in courts today, including Van Wagenen’s testimony. She could neither read nor write, but left a simple “X” on the page by her name.
“This is her DNA left behind on this document. The rest is legalese and all of that,” said State Archivist Thomas Ruller, pointing at the mark on the page. “This is Sojourner Truth, this is where she shows up in this story.”
Born into slavery in or around 1797 in the Hudson Valley, she walked away from the home of her final owner in 1826 with her infant daughter after he reneged on a promise to free her. She went to work for the Van Wagenen family, and took their surname.
Meanwhile, her son Peter was sold into slavery in Alabama. The sale occurred during the gradual phase out of slavery in New York, where Peter would have been an indentured servant until he was older. But the sale of Peter to another state was illegal.
Faced with the prospect of never seeing him again, she went to court in Kingston to get him back. Painter said she relied on two lawyers allied with her and her faith in the Holy Spirit.
A grand jury proceeding was apparently enough to prompt the man who sold Peter to have him sent back to New York. But it was her application for a writ of habeas corpus that led to them being reunited. A Supreme Court Commissioner, acting with powers of a judge, ordered Peter freed March 15, 1828.
It was believed to be the first time a Black woman successfully sued white men to get her son released from slavery, though it’s possible there were other cases researchers are unaware of.
It was a bittersweet reunion. Peter’s body showed evidence of beatings, and it took the traumatized child time to accept his mother. Peter did not have an easy life, Painter said.
“He ended up, as many troubled young men did at that time, on a Nantucket whaling vessel, and he was finally lost at sea,” Painter said.
Van Wagenen took the name Sojourner Truth in 1843 and lived another 40 years.
The court papers from that day were shipped north to Albany. They were transferred to the newly founded Court of Appeals in 1847 upon a reorganization of the state court system, and stayed at New York’s top court for more than a century. The records came to the state archives in 1982, stored in anonymity until Folts’ serendipitous discovery this winter.
“There are thousands of these boxes, millions of these documents,” Ruller said. “And many of them will contain the stories of other individuals who may not be as well known or well heard of. But their stories are just as important.”

A Subaru engine is the best upgrade one can do to a Volkswagen Vanagon. This 1986 example comes with the trusty EJ25 engine and all the necessary bits to make it a worthy companion in camping adventures.
German style and driving dynamics combined with Japanese reliability make this 1986 Volkswagen Vanagon a sweet ride for those who fancy going on road trips. The van features a Westfalia pop-top tent to make way for a second bed. It also has special equipment to offer excellent accommodation even when away from civilization. What makes it unique is a rebuilt five-speed manual transaxle and a Peloquin locking rear differential.
Although the van is rear-wheel drive, the locking differential surely helps in low-grip situations. The van also features a lifted suspension and steel bumpers, so it’s a suitable means of transportation for the more remote areas. Some details might put off prospective buyers, although judging by the bidding history, this doesn’t seem to be the case. The van failed an emission inspection and got a “Designated Gross Polluter” notation.
This Vanagon is finished in white over tan leather and patterned clots upholstery. Outside, it received dual rounded headlights that contrast with the square headlamps of the time. Inside, the front seats have been replaced with Recaro bucket seats, while the entertainment department has been upgraded with a Pioneer head unit and aftermarket speakers.
This camper van is great for off-grid adventures too. It comes with a 100-watt roof-mounted solar panel, while a small deep-cycle battery takes care of the rest. The Vanagon comes with the usual Westfalia gear, so rest assured your whole family can sleep inside the van in comfort. Besides the fold-flat rear bench, which can be used as a bed, there’s a second bed under the pop-top roof.
The kitchenette features all the utensils that Westfalia builds usually provide. There are plenty of cabinets, a two-burner stove, a sink, and a refrigerator. Of course, the stove runs on propane, so there’s a propane tank as well. Additional equipment includes a Webasto cabin heater and a cold-weather insulation kit.
This 1986 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia is sold on Bring a Trailer, with the highest bid at the time of writing at $13,800. It’s a fair price for the van, although we suspect it will increase in the next five days until the auction ends.

John Souttar has been left out of the Scotland squad to face Armenia after suffering an injury blow.
The Rangers defender was second half sub during the 3-0 defeat to Ireland at the weekend, but won't feature at all against Armenia tonight.
Steve Clarke said in the build up to tonight's Nations League game that "significant" injury problems meant there would be more team rotation for the game in Yerevan.
And Souttar is one of those who hasn't made the squad for tonight's game.
Souttar will return to Ibrox to have any damage assessed, just weeks after making the switch from Hearts.
The defender signed a pre-contract agreement with the Govan club in January, and made his final appearance in maroon against his current employers in last month's Scottish Cup final.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York’s top court on Tuesday rejected an effort to free Happy the elephant from the Bronx Zoo, ruling in a closely watched case that she does not meet the definition of a “person” who is being illegally confined.
The 5-2 decision by the state Court of Appeals affirms an earlier court decision and means Happy will not be released through a habeas corpus proceeding, which is a way for people to challenge illegal confinement.
The majority decision written by Chief Judge Janet DiFiore said that “while no one disputes that elephants are intelligent beings deserving of proper care and compassion,” a writ of habeas corpus is intended to protect the liberty of human beings and does not apply to a nonhuman animal like Happy.
The zoo and its supporters warned that a win for advocates at the Nonhuman Rights Project could open the door to more legal actions on behalf of animals, including pets and other species in zoos.
The court’s majority echoed that point.
“A determination that Happy, an elephant, may invoke habeas corpus to challenge her confinement at the Bronx Zoo — a confinement both authorized and, by all indications, compliant with state and federal statutory law and regulations — would have an enormous destabilizing impact on modern society,” read the majority decision. “It is not this Court’s role to make such a determination.”
The Bronx Zoo argued Happy is neither illegally imprisoned nor a person, but a well-cared-for elephant “respected as the magnificent creature she is.”
The advocates at the Nonhuman Rights Project argued that Happy is an autonomous, cognitively complex elephant worthy of the right reserved in law for “a person.”
Two judges, Rowan Wilson and Jenny Rivera, wrote separate, sharply worded dissents saying the fact that Happy is an animal does not prevent her from having legal rights. Rivera wrote that Happy is being held in “an environment that is unnatural to her and that does not allow her to live her life.”
“Her captivity is inherently unjust and inhumane. It is an affront to a civilized society, and every day she remains a captive — a spectacle for humans — we, too, are diminished,” Rivera wrote.
Happy was born in the wild in Asia in the early 1970s, captured and brought as a 1-year-old to the United States. Happy arrived at the Bronx Zoo in 1977 with fellow elephant Grumpy, who was fatally injured in a 2002 confrontation with two other elephants.
The ruling from New York’s highest court cannot be appealed. The Nonhuman Rights Project has failed to prevail in similar cases, including those involving a chimpanzee in upstate New York named Tommy. | https://www.ozarksfirst.com/local-news/national-news/happy-the-elephant-is-not-a-person-new-yorks-top-court-rules/ | 2022-06-14T16:33:22Z | https://www.ozarksfirst.com/local-news/national-news/happy-the-elephant-is-not-a-person-new-yorks-top-court-rules/ | true | 19 |

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — Authorities in Ecuador arrested the leader of a national Indigenous group on Tuesday, alleging that he was responsible for violence during anti-government protests.
Leónidas Iza, president of the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador, was arrested in Pastocalle, in the Andean center of the country, according to police.
The confederation had called for protests to demand a reduction in the price of gasoline, the setting of a minimum price for agricultural products and a moratorium on the extension of mining and oil projects.
Suspected protesters recently destroyed police vehicles, attacked and damaged private vehicles, broke into private flower farms in the center of the country, and destroyed public property in the center of the capital, authorities said.
Iza had also called on followers to topple the government of President Guillermo Lasso.
“The arrests of the masterminds and perpetrators of these violent acts have begun,” Lasso said. “Now it’s up to the prosecution and the judiciary to act, because no one is above the law.” | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Ecuador-Indigenous-leader-is-arrested-over-17240698.php | 2022-06-14T16:34:23Z | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Ecuador-Indigenous-leader-is-arrested-over-17240698.php | true | 31 |

The Dodgers and Angels meet up in a short interleague series at Dodger Stadium, a matchup that has lost quite a bit of luster over the last few weeks.
We’ve seen one end of it, with the Dodgers coming off getting swept in San Francisco and losers of nine of their last 13 games. But to the Angels, such a stretch would be an amazing success considering how they’ve played of late.
The team from Anaheim lost a franchise-record 14 games in a row, the first dozen of those losses coming under Joe Maddon, who was trimmed from the coaching roster just after getting a trim of his own. The Angels are 2-4 under Phil Nevin, now on their first road trip under the new manager, even if this first leg involves only a bus ride on Interstate 5.
Offense has been a problem for both teams recently. Both teams scored 11 runs in a win last week, but were also shut out twice. In the games they didn’t score 11, the Angels plated 14 runs in six games, the Dodgers just 10 runs in five games.
June gloom on offense
This is the first of two two-game series between the Dodgers and Angels this series. They will meet again on July 15-16 in Anaheim, the final weekend before the All-Star break, one with an extremely rare Sunday off day.
What the universal designated hitter brings us in this series is the opportunity to see Shohei Ohtani more than just one at-bat per game in a National League park. Ohtani has played 11 times at Dodger Stadium, but his only two previous starts came in 2020, a year in which the NL also had the DH.
Ohtani enters on an eight-game hitting streak, with home runs in two of his last three games. He’s hitting .255/.333/.476 with 13 home runs, 12 doubles, and a 129 wRC+ on the season. He won’t be pitching during this two-game set, but here’s who will be on the mound.
Tuesday, 7:10 p.m.
SportsNet LA, Bally Sports West, TBS (out of market only)
Tony Gonsolin has been everything so far for the Dodgers, his 1.58 ERA through 11 starts second-best in the majors among those with at least 50 innings, trailing only San Diego right-hander Joe Musgrove (1.50). Gonsolin has been even stingier at home, allowing three runs in five starts.
Noah Syndergaard has been up and down for the last month or so, alternating getting hit around with allowing only one run in a start. He has a 3.69 ERA in nine starts this season, but a career-low 15.4-percent strikeout rate that ranks 114th among the 123 major league pitchers with at least 40 innings pitched.
The national TBS broadcast, which isn’t available locally, will be called by Don Orsillo and Jeff Francoeur, along with reporter Heidi Watney.
Wednesday, 7:10 p.m.
SportsNet LA, Bally Sports West, MLB Network (out of market only)
Given the events of the last week, Tyler Anderson went from a nice story as an extra arm to an indispensable piece of the Dodgers starting rotation. His three-plus innings last Thursday ended a string of five straight starts lasting at least six innings.
For all the folks clamoring for a 2020 first-round pick out of Louisville to take the mound at Dodger Stadium, you get your wish in the series finale with left-hander Reid Detmers pitching for the Angels. Detmers pitched a no-hitter on May 10 in Anaheim, but then struggled in back-to-back starts against Texas. In both June starts, Detmers recorded 13 outs and allowed no runs. | https://www.truebluela.com/2022/6/14/23166984/dodgers-angels-slumping-offenses-series-preview | 2022-06-14T16:37:31Z | https://www.truebluela.com/2022/6/14/23166984/dodgers-angels-slumping-offenses-series-preview | true | 1 |

ORLANDO, Fla. (WFLA) — The autopsy of Tyre Sampson, the teen who died after he fell from the FreeFall ride at ICON Park in Orlando, Florida, shows he had a number of extensive injuries and died from blunt force trauma.
The autopsy report from Orange County Medical Examiner’s office showed the 14-year-old suffered serious internal injuries, as well as injuries to his head, neck and torso after falling more than 70 feet.
Those injuries included multiple fractures to the skull, multiple fractured ribs, a broken arm, a broken leg, and serious lacerations throughout his body, some of which left the bones of his feet exposed.
“The manner of death is accident,” the report reads.
The FreeFall’s weight limit for a rider was 287 pounds. The autopsy indicated the teen was 383 pounds. A ride safety analyst previously said Sampson should have never been allowed to get on the ride.
In March, an examination of the ride found Sampson’s seat had been manually loosened and he was not properly secured.
The ride remains closed while the investigation continues.
“The loss of Tyre Sampson was a tragic accident. We continue to communicate and cooperate with representatives of Tyre’s family, as well as the Department of Agriculture,” Trevor Arnold, an attorney for the park operator, said in a statement to WFLA. “We are devoted to working with our lawmakers in making lasting safety changes in the amusement park industry.” | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/teen-who-fell-from-orlando-ride-died-of-blunt-force-trauma-to-head-body-autopsy-report-finds/ | 2022-06-14T16:42:22Z | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/teen-who-fell-from-orlando-ride-died-of-blunt-force-trauma-to-head-body-autopsy-report-finds/ | true | 17 |
Northern Arizona watches winds as Western wildfires blaze
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — The northern Arizona city of Flagstaff is synonymous with mountains — lush with ponderosa pines, meadows and hiking trails that are a respite from the desert heat.
Now, parts of them are burning yet again, fueled by winds that grounded air resources Monday. Fire crews were anticipating more moderate winds Tuesday and throughout the week, which could help them get a better handle on the blaze that has largely spared homes but made a run into a wilderness area and toward a lava dome volcano.
Residents around the city looked toward the mountains as smoke billowed through the air and winds howled, some scared, some nervous — most hoping that moisture in the forecast late this week brings some relief.
“We’re most definitely dry,” Flagstaff resident Colin Challifour said late Monday. “The forests are dry. It’s unfortunate. You don’t like to see it.”
Roughly 2,500 homes have been evacuated because of two wildfires burning on the outskirts of Flagstaff. One home and a secondary structure burned, the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office said. Hundreds of other people in California and New Mexico have also been forced to flee homes threatened by wildfires.
In northern Arizona, Coconino County declared an emergency because of the wildfire.
Fire incident Cmdr. Aaron Graeser said the Flagstaff-area blaze is one of the top priorities in the country for firefighting resources. It was estimated at 8 square miles (20 square kilometers) late Monday, but fire managers haven’t been able to do aerial mapping.
Two other smaller wildfires northeast of the blaze merged, forcing evacuations in a more remote area Monday.
Wildfires broke out early this spring in multiple states in the Western U.S., where climate change and an enduring drought are fanning the frequency and intensity of forest and grassland fires. A springtime fire outside Flagstaff destroyed more than two dozen homes. Most of the residents who evacuated then are out of their homes again because of this latest wildfire.
The number of square miles burned so far this year is more than double the 10-year national average, and states like New Mexico have already set records with devastating blazes that destroyed hundreds of homes while causing environmental damage that is expected to affect water supplies.
Nationally, more than 6,200 wildland firefighters are battling nearly three dozen uncontained fires that had charred over 1 million acres (4,408 square kilometers), according to the National Interagency Fire Center.
Even in Alaska, forecasters have warned that many fire in the state’s south have grown exceptionally over the last week, which is unusual. Southwest Alaska normally experiences shorter periods of high fire danger because intermittent rain can provide relief, but since mid-May the region has been hot and windy, drying out vegetation.
Favorable weather Monday helped slow the progression of a tundra wildfire just over 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) away from an Alaska Native village. Moderate temperatures and a shift in the wind that had been driving the fire toward St. Mary’s will allow firefighters to directly attack the flames and increase protections for the Yup’ik community.
The lightning-sparked fire is estimated at about 193 square miles (500 square kilometers). It’s burning dry grass and shrubs in southwest Alaska’s mostly treeless tundra.
In California, evacuations were ordered for about 300 remote homes near a wildfire that flared up over the weekend in forest land northeast of Los Angeles near the Pacific Crest Trail in the San Gabriel Mountains. It had scorched about 1.5 square miles (3.9 square kilometers) of pine trees and dry brush as of Monday and was 27% contained, fire spokesperson Dana Dierkes said.
A second fire in Tehama County in Northern California had destroyed 10 buildings, damaged four others and threatened about 160 structures, fire officials said. It was 20% contained Monday night.
Farther south in San Diego County, five people were rescued after a small wildfire broke out Monday near the U.S.-Mexico border, authorities said.
In Northern California, a 50-mile (80-km) stretch of State Route 70 was closed indefinitely on Monday after mud, boulders and dead trees inundated lanes during flash floods along a wildfire burn scar.
The causes of the latest California fires were under investigation.
Authorities don’t yet know what started the northern Arizona fire. A man who was camping near where the fire was reported Sunday was cited a day earlier for lighting toilet paper on fire in violation of a year-round fire ban in the area, but he is not charged with starting the wildfire.
Parts of U.S. Route 89, the main route to reach the Grand Canyon’s East Rim entrance and through the Navajo Nation, remained closed, as did the Arizona Snowbowl ski resort.

As per a separate notice, the fair trade regulator has cleared the transaction involving the sale of the global biosimilars portfolio of Viatris Inc (parent entity of Mylan) to Biocon Biologics Limited and its subsidiary. It also approved the proposed equity infusion in Biocon Biologics by Biocon and Serum Institute.
The transaction involves cash and stock consideration and the acquisition of one common equity share and compulsory convertible preference shares convertible into common equity shares, representing at least 12.9 per cent of the fully diluted equity of Biocon Biologics by Mylan, said the regulator in a release.
In another notice, the anti-trust watchdog has approved the corporate restructuring of GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Holdings Ltd (JVCO) under a green channel route.
JVCO was established in 2019, combining the respective legacy consumer healthcare business worldwide of GSK and Pfizer.
The proposed combination involves the corporate restructuring of JVCO through acquisition by Haleon via demerger and the share exchange steps, involving the JVCO shareholders.
Following the completion of the demerger and share exchange steps, the shareholding of Haleon will be held by a combination of GSK, its affiliates and GSK's shareholders (together representing 68 per cent of Haleon's voting rights) and Pfizer (representing 32 per cent of Haleon's voting rights).
Under the green channel route, a deal which does not raise any risk of an appreciable adverse effect on market competition is deemed to be approved on it being intimated to the competition watchdog.
Deals beyond a certain threshold have to be approved by CCI, which keeps a tab on unfair business practices as well as promotes fair competition in the marketplace.
Haleon is a newly incorporated entity and at present does not have any business operations.
GSK is in the research, development, manufacturing, and marketing of prescription pharmaceuticals, vaccines and consumer healthcare products.
Pfizer is a US-based biopharmaceutical company.

Approximately 400 parents, siblings, grandparents, friends and teachers gathered Thursday for a sunny early evening ceremony on the Crossett Brook Middle School lawn to send off 74 graduates now headed to high school.
The celebration capped off a week full of fun for the class of 2022 as students spent time on a Lake Champlain cruise, at a Hawaiian-themed outdoor dance, along with concerts and games under the tent pitched for the final days of school.
Principal Tom Drake was master of ceremonies remarking on the shift since the COVID-19 pandemic to holding 8th grade graduation outdoors rather than inside the school gym. The outdoor covered space was key to Thursday’s event in particular after heavy morning rains and a surge in COVID cases among the school’s younger students in particular that sidelined some fifth-grade siblings from attending.
The class that spent more than two years learning during a pandemic has grown accustomed to navigating changes, Drake said, frequently invoking the familiar expression of “pivoting” that has become a mantra since early 2020.
And for that, Drake told the class, “We’re proud of you for working your way through the trials and tribulations of pandemic learning and all that goes with it.”
Student speakers offered brief remarks reflecting on their final time in middle school. They included much thanks to their teachers and references to the pandemic, too.
“I honestly don’t recall much from seventh grade,” speaker Savannah Fulton said. She proceeded to highlight time spent studying sustainability and getting involved with climate and social justice issues, calling out the teachers who lead those subjects.
Claire Pomer’s remarks focused on students with disabilities, thanking teachers and staff for accommodating everyone, especially during the pandemic.
Alex McCabe acknowledged the “many ups and downs” that the class weathered, but said the class was ending on a high note with the recent celebrations. “This is a new chapter in our lives,” he said. “Thank you CBMS for some great memories.”
Musical performances included eighth-grade chorus members and solos by Debbie Prim singing “Hallelujah” and Lucy Laidlaw singing “Time After Time.” After hesitating to perform her piece early in the program, Prim returned to deliver the Leonard Cohen classic a cappella to standing applause from the audience.
Drake called on Assistant Principal Josh Estes to address the class calling him a “fellow graduate” as Estes started at Crossett Brook four years ago when the eighth-grade class arrived to begin fifth grade. Estes is also leaving, moving to Massachusetts where he hopes to become an entrepreneur running a live music venue with family members.
Estes told the class that their commencement celebration represented an accomplishment for them as well as for their teachers and family members. “Middle school in perfect times can be chaos,” he said. “This is as much for all of us as it is for you graduating.”
Looking back over the four years, Estes said that while middle school may not have played out as anyone expected, he wanted the students to know that “things get better.”
“If you all go forward and be the people you want to be and the people we all know you can be, the world is going to be a much better place,” he said.
The ceremony had each student accept a certificate and multiple awards were handed out for accomplishments during the school year.

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol has postponed a hearing that was to feature Trump-era Justice Department officials.
The hearing had been set for Wednesday, but the committee on Tuesday morning said that it had been postponed. It did not give a reason or a new date for the hearing.
The next hearing is set to take place on Thursday.
The witnesses at Wednesday's hearing were to include Jeffrey Rosen, who was the acting attorney general at the time of the Capitol insurrection, as well as two other former top officials, Richard Donoghue and Steven Engel. Lawyers for all three men did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
They were expected to testify about a tense Jan. 3, 2021 meeting at the White House in which then-President Donald Trump weighed whether to replace Rosen with a lower-ranking official, Jeffrey Clark, who had expressed a willingness to champion Trump's bogus claims of voting fraud. Trump abandoned the idea when multiple Justice Department and White House lawyers told him that they would resign if that happened.

CHICAGO, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With potentially dangerous heat descending on Illinois, the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) released tips on how residents can keep their homes cool, safe and energy efficient.
"You should never keep your home too hot because you're worried about the electric bill," CUB Executive Director David Kolata said. "There are ways to stay safe and cool without breaking the bank."
The National Weather Service predicted (add info about current weather, heat index). CUB posted the following tips at CUBHelpCenter.com:
- Be safe. Many utilities recommend setting your thermostat at 76-78 degrees when you're at home and awake. When you're asleep or away, you can bump the temperature up a few degrees. Never raise the temperature to an unsafe level.
- Use fans. Fans alone aren't adequate in a heat wave, but they can be used with an air conditioner—so you don't have to blast the AC. Run a ceiling fan counter-clockwise, from your position looking up at it, to create a downdraft, and make sure to turn off your fan when you leave the room. (Fans cool people, not rooms.)
- Avoid hot tasks. Delay heat-producing tasks, such as dishwashing, baking, or laundry, until the cooler night or early morning hours. Consider grilling out, to keep the kitchen from overheating and your AC from over-working. If grilling isn't for you, make meals in the microwave instead.
- Shut it off. Turn off and unplug extra appliances that just produce more heat and make your home hotter (TV, computers, laptops, lights, and gadgets like your phone charger). Consider using a smart power strip for your computer and entertainment systems.
- Weatherize your windows and doors. Prevent hot air from seeping in by sealing the gaps around windows and doors. Shut blinds or shades during the sunny daytime hours to prevent your air conditioner from working harder to cool the home.
- Clean filters. Clean your air conditioning unit's filter at least once every three months. It's an easy way to improve the unit's performance and to save energy.
- Drink plenty of water. Sip about four to eight glasses of fluids a day, but avoid alcohol and caffeine, which promote dehydration.
- Be a good neighbor. Make sure your neighbors have a safe and cool place to stay during hot weather. Illinois has free cooling centers. Many of those are open during business hours, and Tollway Oasis locations are open 24 hours a day. Public libraries and the homes of friends and family also can be cool places of refuge.
Created by the Illinois Legislature, CUB opened its doors in 1984 to represent the interests of residential and small-business utility customers. Since then, the nonprofit utility watchdog group has saved consumers more than $20 billion by helping to block rate hikes and secure refunds. For more details, call CUB's Consumer Hotline, 1-800-669-5556, or visit CUB's award-winning website, www.CitizensUtilityBoard.org.

Britain is home to some exemplary beaches. And with the sun finally shining, it's time to start planning a day at the beach.
To help you pick the best stretch of sand to visit this summer, we asked our experts to recommend their favourite beaches around the country.
Some of the nominations are deservedly popular spots along the south and western coast of Britain, while others are of the wild and unspoilt variety, where even at the height of summer you can find a secluded spot beneath cliffs or among dunes.
If you are looking for more suggestions for wild, out of the way places, see our guide to Britain's best secret and remote beaches. In the meantime, for those looking for their next staycation spot or a brilliant idea for a day out...
Best beaches in the UK to visit in summer 2022
North Cornwall
1. Watergate Bay, Newquay
Two miles of golden sand backed by cliffs and caves, where the Atlantic swells produce reliable surf and peregrine falcons, gulls and fulmars wheel overhead. Spot strawberry anemones and crabs among the rock pools, walk along the clifftop, or book a surfing or kitesurfing lesson with the excellent Extreme Academy on the beach. (extremeacademy.co.uk).
Eat: Both overlooking the beach, Emily Scott Food offers a stripped back and simple seafood and plant-based menu while The Beach Hut bistro serves up delicious fresh seafood – the squid and moules frite are a must (watergatebay.co.uk).
Stay: Watergate Bay Hotel has a spectacular indoor pool with sea views, plenty of beautiful public spaces and their 'not a spa' spa is now offering treatments. Read the full review.
South Cornwall
2. Porthcurno, near Land's End
Set beneath the clifftop Minack Theatre, this is arguably the county's most beautiful bay: a funnel of sand caught between lichen-encrusted granite cliffs. Easily accessible, it has fine white sand and is popular with families. It's best at low tide when you can walk to other beaches in the bay (one of which is nudist) and sit on sandbars beneath the ancient cliff fort of Treryn Dinas, surrounded by Grecian-blue water.
Eat: At the Coffee Shop at the Minack Theatre, above the beach offers coffee, Cornish cream teas, and light meals. You have to pay for admission to the site, but this includes access to the gardens. (01736 810181; minack.com).
Stay: The Old Coastguard hotel in Mousehole offers a spacious bar/restaurant, and a superb location with views over the palm-filled garden sloping down to the sea. Read the full review.
Isles of Scilly
3. Pentle Bay, Tresco
Pentle Bay induces a broad grin. You can't help it after crossing Tresco Island's lush interior and walking through sandy grass into a wall of dazzling colour: bleached white sand, emerald-and-turquoise ocean dotted with islands and impossibly blue sky. Everything is light, bright, almost tropical in its brilliance. It takes a dip in the briny – two degrees colder than the mainland – to confirm that you are still in Britain.
Eat: The Ruin Beach Café is currently open daily for alfresco or takeaway lunch and dinner. Tresco Stores is a good source of picnic supplies.
Stay: See tresco.co.uk for details of hotel and self-catering accommodation.
North Devon
4. Saunton Sands
Behind this untamed three-mile stretch of beach is Braunton Burrows, one of the largest sand-dune systems in Britain, and home to myriad rare plants and butterflies. Atlantic rollers sweep on to the vast sandy beach.
Eat: The Sands on the Beach, sister cafe to the Saunton Sands Hotel, offers casual dining options (sauntonsands.co.uk).
Stay: The Saunton Sands Hotel offers family-friendly accommodation right above the beach, with indoor and outdoor pools, a health club, and sea-view rooms. Read the full review.
South Devon
5. Blackpool Sands
Three miles south-west of Dartmouth is this sheltered and peaceful crescent of fine shingle, backed by wooded hills. It's popular with families, and a great spot for swimming as its turquoise waters are clean and usually calm. You can hire kayaks and paddle boards.
Eat: The Venus Café, right on the beach, serves takeaway snacks and burgers (lovingthebeach.co.uk).
Stay: Strete Barton House is a stylish b&b housed in a 16th-century manor house near Dartmouth. Read the full review.
Dorset
6. Studland Bay
Four miles of pristine white sand, which shelves gently into milky-blue waters, with a backdrop of dunes and heathland. The northern stretch, most easily reached by chain ferry, has an away-from-it-all, desert-island feel, appreciated by the naturist sunbathers at Shell Bay; the southern Knoll Beach is popular with families.
Eat: The National Trust Beach Café, Knoll Beach (nationaltrust.org.uk).
Stay: The Pig on the Beach hotel, which offers cosy interiors, superb breakfasts and an extensive kitchen garden. Offers views of Old Harry Rocks and the Isle of Wight. Read the full review.
Isle of Wight
7. Compton Bay
A rural and unspoilt stretch of coast caught between the English Channel and the grassy downs of West Wight. Walk south to Brook Bay at low tide and you may find ancient dinosaur tracks revealed on the foreshore, or spot fossils in the crumbling cliffs (see dinosaurisle.com for details of fossil walks). Access from the clifftop car parks (National Trust) is by steep wooden steps.
Eat: The Café at Dimbola Lodge in Freshwater Bay (dimbola.co.uk), is set in a charming photographic museum and serves teas and lunches.
Stay: Compton Farm Caravan and Camping (comptonfarm.co.uk) is close to the beach.
Sussex
8. West Wittering
It's a long, narrow and often traffic-choked road to the Witterings from Chichester, but that's what gives this Sussex beach its remote feel. The fine, open stretch of sand, overlooking the Solent and Chichester harbour, is spotlessly clean and at low tide there are pools for paddling. Out on the water, acrobatic windsurfers sweep past. From the far western end, you can cross a narrow ridge to East Head, a lovely and remote sand-dune spit at the mouth of the harbour. Get there early to avoid the queues and bag a parking spot.
Eat: At the well-run beach café, which serves a range of snacks and sandwiches (westwitteringestate.co.uk).
Stay: Church Lodge is clapboard-fronted b&b a stone’s throw from West Wittering’s celebrated beach. Read the full review.
Kent
9. Botany Bay
This is the most northerly of Broadstairs's beaches, and perhaps the prettiest – a 660ft curve of sand backed by white cliffs, with chalk stacks, rock pools and safe swimming. At low tide you can walk to Joss Bay, Kent's best surf beach.
Eat: Bessie's Tea Parlour (bessiesteaparlour.co.uk) is a popular option.
Stay: The Reading Rooms is a restored Georgian townhouse on genteel Hawley Square, a stone's throw from Margate's sandy beach. Read the full review.
Suffolk
10. Walberswick
The wooden bridge leading from the picturesque village of Walberswick to the beach is always crammed with children clutching crabbing lines and plastic buckets. Clamber over the ridge of dunes into the magical light of the Suffolk coast and you'll understand why so many artists are drawn to paint this long and empty stretch of sandy beach.
Eat: The Anchor serves up superior pub food (anchoratwalberswick.com).
Stay: In Southwold, stay at the Crown Hotel or the Swan Hotel, which offers an old-fashioned welcome and family-friendly service.
Norfolk
11. Wells/Holkham
You don't know the meaning of "big sky" until you cross the wooden boards through the dunes and tip out on to this vast stretch of sand, midway along the north Norfolk coast. You can lay out your beach towels here or walk east on a path through the pine woods to the slightly more sheltered beach at neighbouring Wells-next-the-Sea. In high summer it's easier to park at Wells and walk the other way. In any case, take a windbreak – and watch out for the caprices of the incoming tide.
Eat: The Beach Cafe on the Holkham Estate is backed by pinewoods and near the beach. Food is homemade, using local produce, and includes hot and cold snacks, lunches, and sandwiches, as well as ice-creams and drinks. Dogs welcome (holkham.co.uk).
Stay: Cley Windmill overlooking the salt marshes is about 11 miles east along the coast. Read the full review.
Yorkshire
12. Sandsend
Set against a backdrop of grassy cliffs, where the wide sweep of beach from Whitby ends, this stretch is quieter and prettier than its famous neighbour. Children play in the little becks that flow across the sand and ducks waddle across the green in charming Sandsend village. This is a great place for fossil hunting at low tide.
Eat: The Woodlands is a lovely café-cum-restaurant close to the beach.
Stay: The Porthole is a converted 19th-century bunker built into the cliff with a private terrace overlooking the sea (sandsendcottages.co.uk).
Northumberland
13. Bamburgh
Overlooked by Bamburgh Castle, this beautiful stretch of wild coastline offers clear seas and huge sands that stretch to Seahouses, three miles away. On a clear day you can see out to Lindisfarne and the Farne Islands.
Eat: The Old Ship Inn, Seahouses (seahouses.co.uk) is an atmospheric pub with sweeping sea views; local seafood is the speciality.
Stay: St Cuthbert's House (stcuthbertshouse.com) is an elegant 200-year-old former chapel in North Sunderland near Seahouses.
Lancashire
14. Formby
The monumental dunes here are classified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and from their tops there are views of the Cumbrian mountains – and even Blackpool Tower on a clear day. Footpaths lead through the pinewoods behind to a red squirrel reserve (this is one of the last outposts in Britain), and on the vast expanse of beach you can sometimes spot prehistoric human and animal footprints. The sunsets are spectacular. Read our guide to a walk along the Formby coast.
Eat: This remote spot is best enjoyed with a picnic among the dunes.
Stay: Bay Tree House b&b in Southport has six cosy rooms (baytreehousesouthport.co.uk).
East coast of Scotland
15. Lunan Bay
This magnificent two-mile strand on the unheralded Angus coastline is backed by dunes and overlooked by Red Castle, a crumbling 12th-century fortress. Its pink sandstone hues match the colour of the low red cliffs and curious rock formations on the beach below.
This is a great place for birdwatching, and is popular with surfers and riders. Some swear the sands have a rosy tint; certainly the shore glitters after a storm, when semiprecious stones such as agate and jasper can be found. Take care when swimming as there are strong currents.
Eat and stay: Gordon's Restaurant with rooms in nearby Inverkeilor (gordonsrestaurant.co.uk) is a place for serious foodies and offers rooms.
West coast of Scotland
16. Sandwood Bay, Cape Wrath, Sutherland
Sutherland's, and arguably Scotland's, best beach is Sandwood Bay: a glorious, mile-long stretch of sparkling sand that is pounded by North Atlantic rollers and backed by undulating dunes. The beach is popular with intrepid types – there's a hike of four and a half miles from Blairmore.
Eat: The sand is the perfect place for a picnic.
Stay: Mackay's Rooms, Durness, has seven stylish bedrooms, two self-catering properties and two crofts. Read the full review.
Scottish Islands
17. Luskentyre, Outer Hebrides
Hidden at the end of a winding road on the wild north-west coast of the Isle of Harris, this long stretch of brilliant sand is washed by shallow, startlingly azure water. Farther out are the steel-grey rollers more often associated with Scotland, studded with empty, windswept islands.
Eat: There are no cafes within walking distance so take a picnic.
Stay: Whitefalls Spa Lodges have huge bathrooms, modern interiors and stunning views (whitefalls.co.uk).
Northern Ireland
18. Portstewart Strand
A magnificent beach on the Causeway Coast, bounded at one end by low basalt cliffs and at the other by the River Bann. The dunes that back the two-mile-long Strand reach heights of 100ft and more, lending it an air of wildness and mystery. The waves that crash on to the beach provide reasonable surfing. In neighbouring Portrush you can marvel at sea-sculpted shapes in limestone cliffs on White Rocks beach – the Cathedral Cave, the Lion's Paw and the Wishing Arch.
Eat: Try Ramore Wine Bar, on the harbour in Portrush (ramorerestaurant.com).
Stay: The Royal Court Hotel (royalcourthotel.co.uk) stands above Portrush, looking down on the town, the East Strand and the Royal Portrush Golf Course.
Wales
19. Marloes Sands
There is a half-mile walk from the car park to this magnificent National Trust-managed beach, but it's worth it for the crystal-clear water, dramatic sandstone cliffs, views of outlying islands, fossils, rock pools, seals, surf and space.
Eat: Pop into the Lobster Pot Inn at Marloes for traditional pub grub (thelobsterpotmarloes.co.uk).
Stay: Coastal Cottages offer a wide variety of self-catering accommodation across Pembrokeshire (coastalcottages.co.uk).
20. Rhossili beach
The Worm's Head promontory marks the beginning of this four-mile stretch of golden sand. Set at the western tip of the peninsula, it bears the full might of Atlantic swells, and is popular with surfers, walkers and paragliders. Access is tricky, involving a walk down the cliff path. Look out for the hull of the Helvetia, wrecked on the beach in 1887. There can be strong undertows when the surf is high.
Eat and stay: Eat and sleep at the Worm's Head Hotel, where nearly all the rooms have sea views (thewormshead.co.uk).

IMTS is the largest and longest-running industry trade show in the Western Hemisphere, held every other year in Chicago, attracting an international audience of more than 115,000 people. This year, visitors can investigate the latest functionality of Mastercam at booth # 133222 and at the Student Summit booth #215200 at McCormick Place, Chicago, IL, September 12-17.
Stas Mylek, Partnerships Program Manager at Mastercam, will be presenting Digitalization of the Manufacturing Floor: Are SMEs Ready for the Next Wave? on Monday, September 12, from 3:15 – 4:10 P.M. in room W192-C. He will cover how emerging digitalization will impact small and medium machine shops, and how best to prepare for change. Mastercam will be on display throughout the IMTS show floor, with over 40 parts being programmed in Mastercam partner booths such as MC Machinery (338129), Okuma (338500), Doosan (338900), and FANUC (338919). Meanwhile, in the main Mastercam booth, Mastercam partners, Resellers, and employees will be giving presentations every hour Monday – Friday on many different topics and features.
Manufacturers from all over the world got the chance to test-drive Mastercam 2023 during the Public Beta Program before it was released and provided valuable feedback to help shape the final 2023 product. Many of the improvements in Mastercam 2023 are directly driven by Mastercam users and shops. Feedback from Public Beta releases, shop visits, customer surveys, and consultation with our expert industry partners create the practical, shop-driven focus that helps ensure Mastercam users' success.
Consolidating Multiaxis Toolpaths. Morph, Parallel, Along Curve, and Project Curve are no longer individual toolpaths in Mastercam 2023. Instead, the Unified toolpath allows access to these cut patterns when you add the appropriate curves. For example, to create a toolpath that morphs between two surfaces, select Unified from the Multiaxis toolpaths, and then set the Cut Pattern to two surfaces with the Morph style.
Detecting Undercut Stock When Machining. The Dynamic OptiRough and Area Roughing toolpaths can now be aware of undercut stock conditions, resulting in improvement to the toolpath motion, including less air cutting.
New B-Axis Contour Turning Toolpath. Mastercam 2023 introduces a new toolpath to the Turning suite for the Mill-Turn product. B-Axis Contour Turning is a finishing toolpath that allows for rotation of the B-axis while the tool is cutting. The toolpath features a top-down workflow and provides you with either Automatic or Manual motion control. Automatic mode produces safe toolpath motion that keeps the insert in contact with the contour. Manual mode offers full control over the B-axis angles along the contour.
These are only a few of the new features and enhancements in Mastercam 2023. For more information, please visit https://www.mastercam.com/mastercam-2023/ or https://whatsnew.mastercam.com.

BRUSSELS (AP) — European lawmakers from the environment and economy committees objected Tuesday to including fossil gas and nuclear in the EU’s list of sustainable activities, in a blow to the bloc’s executive arm.
The European Commission earlier this year proposed including nuclear energy and natural gas in its plans for building a climate-friendly future, dividing member countries and drawing outcry from environmentalists as “greenwashing.”
But MEP’s from the two committees adopted an objection to the proposal, with 76 votes to 62 votes and 4 abstentions.
The resolution will now be examined by the whole EU Parliament next month. The Commission will need to withdraw or amend its regulation if an absolute majority of lawmakers oppose it.
The green labeling system from the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, defines what qualifies as an investment in sustainable energy. Under certain conditions, gas and nuclear energy could be part of the mix, making it easier for private investors to inject money into both.
“MEPs recognize the role of nuclear and fossil gas in guaranteeing stable energy supply during the transition to a sustainable economy,” the Parliament said. “But, they consider that the technical screening standards proposed by the Commission, in its delegated regulation, to support their inclusion do not respect the criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities.”
The commission believes that including nuclear and gas as transitional energy sources does not amount to a free pass and aims to accelerate efforts to reduce emissions.
With the EU aiming to reach climate neutrality by 2050 and to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, it says the so-called taxonomy classification system is crucial to direct investments into sustainable energy. It estimates that about 350 billion euros of investment per year will be needed to meet the 2030 targets.
Greenpeace campaigner Ariadna Rodrigo said lawmakers from the committees “stood with Ukraine” by voting to “stop feeding (Russia President Vladimir) Putin’s war machine with more money and inflaming the climate and nature crisis.”
The 27-nation bloc is trying to wean off its dependency to Russian fossil fuels and member countries have already agreed to ban 90% of Russian oil by year-end.

A Chinese national and a Nagaland woman from Kohima have been arrested by Gautam Buddh Nagar police in connection with the arrest of two Chinese nationals who were nabbed by Seema Suraksha Bal (SSB) on the India-Nepal border on Saturday.
According to police, the couple was identified as Xu Fei aka Kelay (36) and Patekeh (22). While Kelay is a Chinese national, Patekeh is from Kohima, Nagaland.
The police revealed that the couple’s arrest comes after it came to light that the two Chinese nationals arrested by SSB have stayed at their house for as many as 15 days in Noida.
The two Chinese nationals identified as Yung Hai Lung (34) and Lo Lung (28) were detained by the SSB while trying to enter Nepal from India through the Bhithamore border outpost, in Sitamarhi, Bihar.
They had revealed that they were in Noida for the last 15 days, staying at a friend’s home. The SSB informed Gautam Buddh Nagar police and after receiving a tip-off, police launched a probe. “We were informed that the two Chinese nationals arrested from the India-Nepal border had stayed at a friend’s home in Jaypee Greens society of Greater Noida. When police arrived they found the house locked. The occupants of the house were traced in Gurugram and with the help of Haryana police, they were nabbed on Monday morning,” Anil Kumar, station house officer of Beta-II police station said.
The officer further said that it was revealed that Kelay and Patekeh ran a business of mobile spare parts in Noida and Ghaziabad.
“Patekeh, being an Indian national, procured sim cards for the two arrested nationals who had stayed in their home in the last 15 days. Kelay’s visa documents were found to be forged as his visa had expired in 2020 but he had forged it to make it 2022,” Meenakshi Katayayan, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Greater Noida said.
The couple, Kaley and Patekeh for the past three years, have been staying at Jaypee Greens in Greater Noida. While they were arrested from a hotel in Gurgaon, it was revealed that Kelay’s visa had expired in 2020 and he had been staying in India illegally since then.

US producer prices surged 10.8% in May from a year earlier, underscoring the ongoing threat to the economy from inflation that shows no sign of slowing.
Tuesday’s report from the Labor Department showed that the producer price index — which measures inflation before it reaches consumers — rose at slightly slower pace last month than in April, when it jumped 10.9% from a year earlier, and is down from an 11.5% yearly gain in March.
On a monthly basis, producer prices climbed 0.8% in May from April, above the previous month, when they increased 0.4%.
Energy prices, led by gas, rose 5% just in May from April. Another big driver of the price gains last month was a sharp 2.9% increase in the cost of truck freight hauling, a sign that supply chain problems still aren’t fully resolved. Food costs were unchanged.
The figures indicate that rising prices will continue to erode Americans’ paychecks and wreak havoc on household budgets in the coming months. Inflation has created major political headaches for President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats and has forced the Federal Reserve into a series of rapid interest rate hikes intended to slow the economy and cool price increases.
On Friday, the government reported that inflation — as measured by the consumer price index — jumped to a new 40-year high of 8.6% in May, a surprise gain that disappointed expectations that price increases might be slowing. Gas and food costs rose sharply, pushed higher by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but the costs for rent, new and used cars, medical care, and clothing also rose, evidence that inflation is spreading more broadly through the economy.
The Fed is expected to hike its short-term interest rate by three-quarters of a point on Wednesday, the largest increase since 1994, as it ramps up its efforts to rein in higher prices.
The producer price data captures inflation at an earlier stage of production and can sometimes signal where consumer prices are headed. It also feeds into the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, the personal consumption expenditures price index.
Strong consumer spending has pushed up demand for a range of goods and services, which has in turn overwhelmed supply chains, creating shortages in some cases and pushing up prices. Greater demand for travel this spring and summer has also sent hotel and airfare prices soaring.
How long that consumer demand will last is a key question for the economy going forward. Millions of Americans have enjoyed solid pay raises in the past year, including lower-income workers at restaurants, hotels, and warehouses.
Consumers also have greater savings than is typically the case from government stimulus checks and because they weren’t able to spend as much on travel and entertainment in the past two years. Those savings are supporting ongoing spending even amid high prices.
Yet prices are rising at a faster pace than wages, on average, suggesting that eventually consumers may have little choice but to pull back on spending. | https://nypost.com/2022/06/14/us-producer-prices-soar-10-8-in-may-as-cost-of-gas-spikes/ | 2022-06-14T17:00:08Z | https://nypost.com/2022/06/14/us-producer-prices-soar-10-8-in-may-as-cost-of-gas-spikes/ | true | 41 |
Crypto news: BlockFi cuts headcount by 20% amid price meltdown
BlockFi says its intention is to remain profitable amid the tough market conditions.
Crypto platform BlockFi has announced that it is cutting its employee numbers by 20%, following in the footsteps of other major companies in the industry.
The platform, which has seen significant growth over the past four+ years following the debut of its crypto-backed loan feature, says the job cuts will impact “every team at the company.”
According to a blog announcement from founders Zac Prince and Flori Marquez, the decision to let go of so many of the platform’s staff is down to prevailing macroeconomic conditions. The company says the move will be followed by a review of its strategic priorities.
Cutting jobs to ensure company remains profitable
BlockFi’s employee count jumped from 150 at the end of 2020 to over 850 in 2022, with the massive increase coming on the back of greater growth underpinned by cryptocurrency’s incredible growth in 2021. It will now have 600+ employees.
The company, like most others in the crypto sector, experienced the pain of the ongoing bear market.
According to Zac and Flori, the staff reduction is part of wider measures undertaken over the past several months as they seek to remain profitable. The firm has reduced marketing spend, eliminated non-critical vendors and cut executive compensation. It also slowed down its hiring.
The company expects no material disruption to its services or products or services, the co-founders said in the blog post.
Other major companies to announce job cuts are crypto exchanges Coinbase and Gemini. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market has been in a downward trend since last November. | https://coinjournal.net/news/crypto-news-blockfi-cuts-headcount-by-20-amid-price-meltdown/ | 2022-06-14T17:01:00Z | https://coinjournal.net/news/crypto-news-blockfi-cuts-headcount-by-20-amid-price-meltdown/ | true | 1 |

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A family doctor will be accessible to students at a Baton Rouge elementary school thanks to a new partnership between East Baton Rouge Parish Schools and Baton Rouge General.
A school-based clinic concept will launch at Claiborne Elementary School with the start of the new school year, WAFB-TV reported.
The hospital says a doctor from its mid-city campus will be on site at the school for at least one day a week. Students will get care for several things like sore throat, cough, or sprain. Baton Rouge General said the on-campus clinic can also test for the flu and COVID-19.
“The goal of a school-based clinic is better access to quality care, less time away from school for kids, and more convenience for caretakers,” said Sabrina Honor, principal at Claiborne Elementary.
Visits to the clinic will not cost families and will be covered by most insurances. | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/New-school-clinic-coming-to-Baton-Rouge-17240835.php | 2022-06-14T17:06:25Z | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/New-school-clinic-coming-to-Baton-Rouge-17240835.php | false | null |
Pope says the Russian invasion of Ukraine shouldn't be boiled down to 'bad guys' vs. 'good guys'
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Vladimir PutinPresident of Russia
- Pope FrancisReligious leader
Pope Francis said Russia's war in Ukraine isn't a fight between good and bad actors.
In a recent interview, Francis slammed the "brutality and ferocity" of the ongoing war.
Francis called Russia's unprovoked invasion a "complex situation," but denied being "pro-Putin."
Pope Francis said Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine shouldn't be boiled down to "bad guys" against "good guys."
In a recent interview with the La Civiltà Cattolica magazine, Francis urged the world to avoid comparing the war to the European fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood," where he said there were clear good and bad actors.
"Little Red Riding Hood was good, and the wolf was the bad guy. Here there are no metaphysical good guys and bad guys, in the abstract," Francis told the magazine. "Something global is emerging, with elements that are closely intertwined with each other."
Francis called out the "brutality and ferocity" of Russia's ongoing war and highlighted its use of Syrian and Chechen mercenaries to fight against the Ukrainians.
"But the danger is that we only see this, which is monstrous, and miss the whole drama that is unfolding behind this war, which was perhaps somehow either provoked or not-prevented," Francis said, repeating a talking point used by Russian President Vladimir Putin as a way to justify the war.
During the build-up to Russia's February 24 invasion of Ukraine, Putin routinely tried to justify military action by falsely claiming that Russia was being provoked by both Ukraine and the West.
Putin also made other baseless justifications, including NATO aggression and expansion and made-up narratives about Ukraine committing genocide against ethnic Russians in the eastern Donbas region.
Even as the unprovoked war rages on, claiming tens of thousands of lives and turning cities across Ukraine to rubble, Putin hasn't let up on his false narrative that Russia's war was necessary.
Francis has echoed some of Putin's claims throughout the war. He previously said NATO was "barking at Russia's gate" and that he doesn't know if Putin's "rage has been provoked," adding that "it was maybe facilitated by the West's attitude."
During his interview with La Civiltà Cattolica, however, Francis denied being "pro-Putin" and said it would be "simplistic and erroneous" to suggest that.
"I am simply against turning a complex situation into a distinction between good guys and bad guys, without considering the roots and self-interests, which are very complex," he said. "While we witness the ferocity and cruelty of Russian troops, we should not forget the problems and seek to solve them."

(KTLA) — A 59-year-old California man was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping, raping and holding a woman against her will for months, authorities announced over the weekend.
The alleged kidnapping came to light around 7:20 p.m. Thursday when the 22-year-old woman escaped the man’s home in Chino Hills and spoke with deputies at Alterra Park, according to San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
The victim, who was visibly injured, told deputies that a man named Peter McGuire had held her against her will for several months at his home, where he tortured, physically assaulted and raped her, Sheriff’s Department officials said.
Officials said the victim’s visible injuries were consistent with the allegations made.
Deputies from the Chino Hills Police Department went to the home to serve a search warrant and found that McGuire had already fled the scene, according to the authorities.
An arrest warrant was then issued for McGuire, a Chino Hills resident.
On Saturday, the San Bernardino County sheriff’s SWAT team found that McGuire was in a home in Placentia in Orange County.
Deputies went to the home and tried to arrest McGuire, who barricaded himself in the home and refused to come out before eventually surrendering, authorities said.
McGuire was booked into the West Valley Detention Center on suspicion of kidnapping, torture, aggravated mayhem, rape, false imprisonment and assault with a deadly weapon, according to the Sheriff’s Department.
Officials said the woman knew McGuire and had moved in with him at the beginning of the year.
“Shortly after moving in, the victim was not allowed to leave and was forcibly held against her will by McGuire,” Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Mara Rodriguez said.

Tesla Inc. has had a “very tough quarter” as it struggles with supply-chain snags, Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk warned in an internal memo, imploring workers to help get the
electric-vehicle maker back on track.
“This has been a very tough quarter, primarily due to supply chain and production challenges in
China,” Musk said in an email to employees over the weekend that was seen by Bloomberg. “So we need to rally hard to recover!”
The company’s Shanghai plant, which had slowed production in recent weeks amid severe Covid-19 restrictions, is returning to full strength and its Austin, Texas, facility is ramping up production as well, Musk said. Last week, he noted, Tesla’s Berlin factory built almost 1,000 cars, while its Fremont, California, plant notched a record day of production.
Musk often sends company wide emails near a quarter’s end to push staff to sprint to the finish, and Tesla is known to deliver many units in the the final weeks. In a subsequent memo, he told workers to be proud of the “great, real products” they make.
The emails of praise and encouragement are in stark contrast with internal messages the world’s richest man sent earlier this month warning of layoffs among salaried employees and his “super bad feeling” about the economy.
In the first three months of the year, the EV maker delivered 310,048 cars -- a quarterly record that came in above analysts forecasts -- as supply chain challenges were offset by accelerating EV adoption. Analysts are forecasting Tesla will deliver about 296,000 units this quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Tesla’s shares fell 5% at 12:06 p.m. in New York amid a broad market decline. The stock had fallen 34% this year through Friday’s close, worse than the decline in the S&P 500.
Tesla makes the 3 and Y models, as well as the older
Model S sedan and X crossover in Fremont, California. The Shanghai factory produces the 3 and Y models. Tesla also recently began delivering Model Ys from the newer plant in Berlin and has begun customers deliveries of the Y from Austin too.

Are robots the future of household chores?
Technology seems to leap, then creep towards the future in a never-ending cycle of progress. An innovator makes a broad jump forward, and then we wait for the rest of society to catch up before advancing again. Since its inception, Dyson has been one of the innovative companies making great strides, with the Dyson vacuum, for instance, revolutionizing the industry.
Recently, the company revealed it has been working on a secret project involving robotics. The thought of these advancements allowing us never to have to clean again is thrilling.
The dawn of Dyson
In 1978, James Dyson became frustrated with the ever-diminishing performance of his vacuum cleaner. To learn what was causing the problem, he disassembled it and discovered a porous bag was clogged with dust, reducing airflow and diminishing suction. In effect, the more he cleaned, the less effective the vacuum would be.
To tackle the problem, the out-of-the-box thinker employed the same technology that he had recently used to separate paint particles from the air by using centrifugal force. After five years and over 5,000 prototypes, he successfully invented the first bagless vacuum cleaner.
What is Dyson’s robotic program?
Two decades ago, Dyson hired its first roboticist. Since the end of 2021, the company has been refitting an aircraft hangar at Hullavington Airfield, a Royal Air Force station located near Chippenham, Wiltshire, England. The purpose of this overhaul is to make room for 250 roboticists, part of Dyson’s investment in the future.
Over the next five years, the company plans to hire an additional 700 individuals in the robotic field. The goal is to create the UK’s largest, most advanced robotics center so Dyson can usher in-home robotic cleaners by the end of the decade. The company’s current focus is on creating home robots that can go above and beyond simple floor care. Dyson wants to design and build machines that are more intelligent, adaptable, and physically capable than anything we’ve experienced to date.
According to a statement on the company’s website from Chief Engineer Jake Dyson, “This is a ‘big bet’ on future robotic technology that will drive research across the whole of Dyson, in areas including mechanical engineering, vision systems, machine learning and energy storage. We need the very best people in the world to come and join us now.”
Teams that Dyson has assembled to bring household robots to life
To make sure the company creates the most advanced robot products possible, Dyson has assembled six teams and given them each specific task to help move the company into the future.
Research team
This is where it all starts. These members strive to tackle the real-world problems of creating intelligent, autonomous products. According to Dyson, this team of experts develops robot prototypes that “turn theory into practice in areas such as perception, manipulation, and robot learning.”
Intelligent machines team
This group of individuals has the challenging task of working in and exploring robotics behavioral development and adding intelligence to Dyson’s appliances. It includes a wide range of experts, from algorithm engineers to software architects.
Connectivity team
The connectivity team advances the capabilities of the Dyson app. The members work to simplify and enhance the user’s experience with intelligent sensing devices and network-based robotics.
Electronics hardware team
This impressive team already has over 350 members. They are some of the world’s best scientists, technicians and electronics engineers. These ambitious innovators aim to develop electronic solutions in Dyson’s seven global research, design and development facilities.
Machine learning team
This team bridges the gap between the user and the machine. Employing anonymous data collected from the company’s connected devices, these people combine machine learning and AI techniques with user behavior to search for solutions to seemingly impossible problems.
Embedded software team
The embedded software team develops the software for Dyson’s machines. The gifted individuals use SAFe, a set of organizational and workflow patterns, to achieve reliable software solutions
What type of household chores can Dyson robots perform?
While it is impossible to know Dyson’s plans for specific devices, the company has released a video that reveals a few sneak peeks of machines in development. This makes it possible to speculate what the innovators might be considering.
The machine most frequently featured in the video clip was a robotic arm. This arm was seen performing various tasks that included picking up toys, setting the kitchen table, putting away dishes, moving items around in a pantry environment and more. The arm could also be glimpsed shaking containers and pouring, which hints that it may be intelligent enough to prepare meals.
Other parts of the video revealed that Dyson is working on technology that maps out a floor plan and creates a 3D model of every part of your house, so it knows what and where to clean. The technology also allows Dyson’s machines to learn the difference between people and objects.

DA: A fistfight devolves into gunfire, random shots in crowd
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — When two teen friends in matching sweatshirts heard gunfire up ahead in a crowd of people on South Street in Philadelphia on Saturday night, each pulled out his own weapon and started firing at random, officials said Thursday. One struck and killed a youth counselor...

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A few weeks before 31 members of a white supremacist group were arrested for allegedly planning to riot at a northern Idaho LGBTQ pride event, a fundamentalist Idaho pastor told his Boise congregation that gay, lesbian and transgender people should be executed by the government.
Around the same time, a lawmaker from the northernmost region of the state, Republican Rep. Heather Scott, told an audience that drag queens and other LGBTQ supporters are waging “a war of perversion against our children.”
A toxic brew of hateful rhetoric has been percolating in Idaho and elsewhere around the U.S., well ahead of the arrests of the Patriot Front members at the pride event Saturday in Coeur d’Alene.
Police say dozens of men from the white supremacist group piled into a U-Haul truck wearing balaclavas and bearing riot gear, with plans to instigate a riot at the park where families, children and supporters were gathered to celebrate the LGBTQ community.
Those arrested came from at least 11 states, including Illinois, Arkansas and Virginia. The defendants were booked on misdemeanor charges of conspiracy to riot and released on bail. As of Monday afternoon, online court records did not show if the men had retained defense attorneys.
Thomas Rousseau, a 23-year-old from Grapevine, Texas, who has been identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as the Patriot Front founder and was among those arrested, did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment.
Jon Lewis, a George Washington University researcher who specializes in homegrown violent extremism, said outrage directed at LGBTQ people had been growing for months online, often in chat rooms frequented by members of groups like the Patriot Front.
In the same way that it mobilized against Black Lives Matter in the nation’s capital in December, the Patriot Front harnesses what’s in the news cycle — in this case, drag queen story hours, disputes about transgender people in schools, and LGBTQ visibility more broadly.
A “massive right-wing media ecosystem” has been promoting the notion that “there are people who are trying to take your kids to drag shows, there are trans people trying to ‘groom’ your children,” Lewis said.
The rhetoric has been amplified by right-wing social media accounts that use photos and videos of LGBTQ individuals to drive outrage among their followers.
Several posts have falsely sought to label teachers and librarians who accept the LGBTQ community as abusers or groomers of children. Others have lambasted pride events or drag performances as “depraved.”
One photo shared widely on social media this week falsely claimed a “Drag Queen Story Hour” performer flashed their genitals to children while reading aloud. But the photograph, from a suburban Minneapolis library in 2019, clearly shows the performer was wearing tan undergarments.
A spokesman for Hennepin County Library confirmed to The Associated Press that the performer did not expose themselves to children.
Northern Idaho has long been associated with extremist groups, most prominently the Aryan Nations, which was often in the news in the 1990s. The area drew disaffected people after white supremacist Richard Butler moved there in 1973 from California.
After the Aryan Nations’ heyday, many local officials tried to disassociate the region from extremism. But in recent years, some politicians, civic leaders and real estate agents have boasted about northern Idaho’s conservatism to draw like-minded people.
At a news conference Monday, Coeur d’Alene Mayor Jim Hammond said the city is no longer a locus of hate.
“We are not going back to the days of the Aryan Nations. We are past that,” he declared.
Scott, the northern Idaho lawmaker, did not immediately respond to an email request for comment.
At her public appearance weeks ago, she introduced two members of the Panhandle Patriots motorcycle club, who urged watchers to join them in “the fight” against LGBTQ people at the Coeur d’Alene pride celebration. They dubbed their counter-protest “Gun d’Alene.”
“Stand up, take it to the head, go to the fight. … We say, ‘Damn the repercussions,’” the motorcycle club members said. “They are trying to take your children.”
The Panhandle Patriots later changed their event to a prayer rally, saying they are “a Christian group that stands against violence in all its forms.”
Elsewhere around the country, authorities in the San Francisco Bay Area are investigating a possible hate crime after a group of men allegedly shouted anti-LGBTQ slurs during Drag Queen Story Hour at the San Lorenzo Library over the weekend.

Zimbabwe reporter fined on accreditation for New York Times
A Zimbabwean court on Tuesday convicted a journalist on charges of breaking the country’s immigration laws by allegedly arranging fake accreditation papers for two correspondents for the New York Times.
The Bulawayo magistrates court fined Jeffrey Moyo 200,000 Zimbabwe dollars (about $650 U.S. dollars) and also imposed a suspended two-year sentence, according to a statement by media freedom advocacy group, the Media Institute of Southern Africa.
Police arrested Moyo in May last year and accused him of facilitating fraudulent accreditation for two foreign journalists from the New York newspaper who were in Zimbabwe on a reporting trip. The two foreign journalists were deported, while Moyo spent about three weeks in detention before being released on bail.
Zimbabwe has a history of harassing journalists who don’t work for the state media and many foreign correspondents were banned during the rule of the late President Robert Mugabe. President Emmerson Mnangagwa promised to open up media space as part of democratic reforms when he took power in 2017. However, government critics accuse him of failing to live up to that promise.
The Committee to Protect Journalists criticized the court’s decision, saying it is evidence of continued repression of the press in Zimbabwe.
“Today’s conviction of journalist Jeffrey Moyo is a monumental travesty of justice and shows how far press freedom has deteriorated in Zimbabwe under President Emmerson Mnangagwa,” Angela Quintal, CPJ’s Africa program coordinator, said in a statement.

A MAJOR plan which aims to “eliminate new HIV infections” in Wales by 2030 has been announced.
Today - Tuesday, June 14 - the Welsh Government has announced 26 actions designed to eliminate new HIV infections, improve quality of life and end stigma.
What’s more, £3.9 million will be allocated to further develop online HIV testing.
This comes after an initial success of the scheme during the pandemic, which is said to have led to more people being tested for HIV between January and March 2022 than in any previous quarter.
The plan has been designed by the Welsh Government’s HIV action plan working group - which includes community-based stakeholders, the voluntary and community sector, healthcare professionals, academics and people with HIV.
A 12-week consultation period will now get under way, which will allow people to view and comment on the plan.
How did we get here?
Between 2015 and 2021, Wales saw a 75 per cent reduction in new diagnoses of HIV.
It is thought that a significant factor in this was provision of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for anyone who is clinically in need since the summer of 2017.
In 2021 there were 48 people newly diagnosed with HIV infection in Wales and approximately 2,800 people accessed care in Wales for HIV.
What actions can be expected as part of the plan?
Some of the 26 actions include increasing access to condoms and PrEP, breaking down barriers to testing, developing a national peer support programme for Wales and creating an HIV awareness programme, including introducing it into the school curriculum.
Following the success of Fast Track Cardiff & Vale, a collaboration of public bodies which created Wales HIV Testing Week and piloted new services, the plan also recommends the introduction of an all-Wales coalition, Fast Track Cymru.
The aspiration, according to the Welsh Government, “is to make Wales a Fast Track Nation, supporting regional networks of health, social care and community groups to help reach the 2030 goals of no new HIV diagnoses and zero stigma.”
What has been said about the plans?
Welsh Government health minister Eluned Morgan said: “We have come a long way since the dark days of the 1980s – which were so memorably depicted last year in Channel 4’s It’s a Sin – when ignorance and cruelty towards people with HIV was rife.
“There is no place for ignorance or intolerance in modern Wales and this plan sets out actions to tackle this.
“Working with partners, we have made huge progress in improving access to testing and treatment in Wales and we’re proud of the significant reduction in new diagnoses of HIV.
“There is more to be done and by implementing these actions, we can make a massive difference to the lives of people living with HIV and in protecting current and future generations from the virus.

Daniel Ricciardo has said that he is happy with his eighth-place finish at Sunday’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where he scored points at a track that McLaren F1 Team admit they struggled with the car’s package at. The Australian also opened up on the team orders that were instructed during the race, in order to maximise the result.
The number three driver explained that he was faster than his team-mate, Lando Norris, during the opening stint, but slower in the second.
“I’m happy to have scored some points, obviously for the team and for myself – it’s been a while. It was an eventful race with split strategies, so at the beginning I was a bit quicker than Lando on the Hard tyre, and there were some team orders, and then at the end he was quicker on the Hard and there were further team orders.”
McLaren opted to stay out on track during the Virtual Safety Car period caused by Carlos Sainz Jr’ retirement on Lap 10, giving them better track position. Ricciardo showed more pace than Norris, and was slowly coming under pressure from the Scuderia AlphaTauri car of Pierre Gasly behind. The Frenchman was able to overtake the McLaren driver when Norris came into the pits.
Ricciardo was able to jump his team-mate and led the Briton throughout the second stint. McLaren initially considered letting Norris pass Ricciardo to attempt an overtake on Fernando Alonso ahead, returning the place if he was unable to do so. However, despite showing more pace, the papaya-coloured team told both cars to hold position for a solid eighth and ninth-place finish.
“Ultimately, I don’t think we were quick enough to challenge Fernando, as even if we got close on the straight, he was just so quick. So, obviously we’ve got to try and take a bit of drag out the car,” says Ricciardo. “That was our Achilles’ heel here this weekend – but otherwise, I think we maximised our result. I’m happy to have had a smoother weekend.”
“I think today was the best we could achieve” – Lando Norris
With drag being an issue for McLaren this weekend, Norris was happy with his finishing position and believes eighth and ninth is the best the Woking-based team was able to score on a track with long straights that require low drag.
“I’m as happy as I can be with that, we just got unlucky with a couple of positions as a result of others boxing under the VSC, which happens in Baku,” says the number four driver, “It’s just a case of different strategies.”
Regardless of their struggles, Norris says the pace of the car in the race was “strong”.
“So, we lost out a little bit on that, but the pace was good. We found it difficult to overtake with our package here, but the actual pace of the car was strong. I think today was the best we could achieve, all things considered.“
“But of course, we want more, so we’ll keep working on our weaknesses and aim for a better performance next time out in Montreal,” the twenty-two year old concluded.
Formula 1 returns to Canada this weekend, just a week after the Azerbaijan Grand Prix; after two years off the calendar as a result of COVID-19. McLaren will be hoping to score more points in Montreal as they fight for the ‘best of the rest’ position in the championship. | https://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/2022/06/im-happy-to-have-had-a-smoother-weekend-daniel-ricciardo/ | 2022-06-14T17:25:25Z | https://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/2022/06/im-happy-to-have-had-a-smoother-weekend-daniel-ricciardo/ | false | 1 |

LOS ANGELES — Move over Maverick, the dinosaurs have arrived to claim their throne.
“Jurassic World: Dominion” took a mighty bite out of the box office with $143.4 million in North American ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday. Including earnings from international showings — the film opened in various markets last weekend — “Jurassic World: Dominion," released globally by Universal Pictures, has already grossed $389 million. And it’s just getting started.
“We couldn’t be happier,” said Jim Orr, Universal’s head of domestic distribution. “‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ had a very broad and ridiculously enthusiastic audience.”
The hefty haul is yet another sign that the box office is continuing to rebound this summer. With the blockbuster successes of films like “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” “Top Gun: Maverick” and now “Jurassic World 3,” audiences are coming back to movie theaters more consistently.
The film, which had a reported $185 million price tag not accounting for marketing and promotion costs, opened on 4,676 screens in the U.S. and Canada, starting with preview showings Thursday. Audiences were 56% male and 54% over the age of 25, according to Universal.
Critics were not kind to the dino extravaganza, but audiences seem to be enjoying themselves based on exit polls. Moviegoers gave it an A- CinemaScore and an 81% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, suggesting that word of mouth will be strong in the coming weeks.
“You want to see dinosaurs on the big screen, it doesn’t matter what critics thought,” said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore.
And many moviegoers did opt for the biggest screens possible. Globally, IMAX showings of “Jurassic World: Dominion” represented $25 million of the total. The 3D format also accounted for around 25% of worldwide ticket sales.
“The appetite for the colossal creatures in this franchise is still voracious, and the way audiences want to experience this movie is in 3D,” said Travis Reid, the CEO and president of Cinema for RealD, in a statement.
Both “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Jurassic World: Dominion” are an important caveat for an industry that continues to learn new lessons about pandemic-era moviegoing every week. Although both films are legacy sequels, neither are of the superhero variety, which, for a long time, had seemed like the only pandemic-proof genre.
“Top Gun: Maverick” is still coasting in rarefied skies too: It fell only 44% in its third weekend with an estimated $50 million to take second place, bringing its North American total north of $393.3 million. “Doctor Strange 2,” in its sixth weekend, was a distant third with $4.9 million.
This weekend is only the third of the pandemic era in which the total domestic box office surpassed $200 million, according to box office tracker Comscore. The others were “Spider Man: No Way Home,” in December, and “Doctor Strange 2,” in May. But this is the first time there has been space for two movies to do well.
“Pretty much all the big blockbuster weekends that we’ve had over the pandemic have been dominated by one movie,” Dergarabedian said. “In this case, we have two big blockbusters in theaters at once. This is the recipe for success that theater owners have been waiting for over the course of the pandemic. It’s an important milestone.”
“Dominion,” a co-production of Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, is the third film in the “Jurassic World” trilogy, which began in 2015 and introduced characters played by Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. The newest installment brings back actors Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum from Steven Spielberg’s 1993 “Jurassic Park.”
Colin Trevorrow, who stewarded the “World” trilogy and directed the first film, returned to direct “Dominion,” in which dinosaurs are no longer contained and locusts are threatening the world’s food supply.
The filmmakers have said “Dominion” is intended to be the last of the “Jurassic World” films, which have been enormously profitable with over $3 billion in ticket sales. The first earned over $1.7 billion globally alone. Including the original “Jurassic Park” trilogy, that number skyrockets to $5 billion.
“Jurassic World 3” should continue performing throughout the summer, Orr said. Universal Pictures also has a number of diverse, high-profile and theatrical-only releases coming in the next few weeks, including the horror film “The Black Phone,” “Minions: The Rise of Gru” and Jordan Peele’s “Nope.” And this vote of confidence in movie theaters is promising.
“This is a tremendous start to our summer,” Orr said.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. “Jurassic World: Dominion,” $143.4 million.
2. “Top Gun: Maverick,” $50 million.
3. “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” $4.9 million.
4. “The Bob’s Burgers Movie,” $2.3 million.
5. “The Bad Guys,” $2.3 million.
6. “Downton Abbey: A New Era,” $1.7 million.
7. “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” $1.3 million.
8. “Firestarter,” $820,000.
9. “Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” $710,000.
10. “Ante Sundaraniki,” $620,000. | https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/nation-world/jurassic-world-3-maverick-box-office/507-8124a1f9-6aa6-4177-8dc5-96d98886e62c | 2022-06-14T17:27:29Z | https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/nation-world/jurassic-world-3-maverick-box-office/507-8124a1f9-6aa6-4177-8dc5-96d98886e62c | true | 25 |

Drivers are being warned not to put themselves at risk when making way for emergency vehicles.
As councils in England get more powers to fine drivers for moving traffic offences, including jumping red lights, a leading motoring organisation has urged drivers not to risk a substantial fine for breaking the law when confronted with an emergency vehicle trying to get past.
Emergency vehicles such as ambulances, fire engines and police cars are permitted to do certain things that regular drivers are not, such as go through red lights or drive in bus lanes. Even when getting out of the way of a “blue light” vehicle, motorists are subject to the law so risk a fine of up to £105 if they do any of these things.
Driving group GEM Motoring Assist is urging drivers to be “blue light aware” and understand the best course of action to stay safe and on the right side of the law.
GEM chief executive Neil Worth commented: “We all want to help emergency service drivers, and most of the time it’s just a simple case of pulling over to let them past.
“But we need to ensure that anything we do as drivers is safe and legal. That’s because we must all follow the rules of the road, even when giving way to an emergency vehicle.
“Blue light drivers have certain privileges, but the rest of us do not. So if we drive through a red traffic light or into a bus lane to make space for an ambulance, we risk a substantial fine, even if we were simply trying to help.”
Mr Worth emphasised that while emergency drivers appreciate drivers moving out of the way when it’s safe and legal, they do not expect anyone to put themselves or others in danger – or on the wrong side of the law.
To help drivers understand the best course of action, GEM has created a series of videos explaining what to do in a number of common situations and issued the following advice on how to help emergency crews while staying within the law.
Don’t panic
The first thing is not to panic and just come to a sudden stop. Doing so can actually make matters worse for the emergency vehicle.
Take stock of your surroundings, try to work out which way the vehicle is heading and pull out of their way if it is safe to do so.
It’s worth bearing in mind that often more than one emergency vehicle will be heading to the same scene, so be on the lookout for multiple vehicles heading in the same direction.
At traffic lights
Emergency vehicles with their lights and sirens active are allowed to pass through a red light, however, regular drivers are not, even if it’s to make way for an ambulance or fire engine.
An emergency crew won’t want you to go through a red traffic light. So don’t break the law or take any risks by moving past the light. If you’re first in the queue at a red light, stay where you are and leave the emergency driver to find a way around you.
Roundabouts and junctions
If you’re approaching a roundabout or a junction and you see an emergency vehicle, look at its lane position, as this should let you know where it wants you to go. If you’re already at the junction, stop, be patient and wait for it to pass. Remember, there may be more than one emergency vehicle approaching the junction, so check before moving off.
Solid white lines
Solid white lines on a road indicate that it is not safe to overtake and that applies to blue light vehicles as much as any other.
On a road with a solid white line system, an emergency vehicle will probably switch off its siren as it follows you. In these circumstances keep going – at the speed limit if it’s safe – until you’re clear of the solid white lines. When the siren goes on again, that’s your cue to let the ambulance go past.
Motorways and dual carriageways
On motorways and dual carriageways, move to the left to allow an ambulance to pass in the outside lane if it’s clear. In slow and stationary traffic, emergency vehicles usually use the motorway hard shoulder, so you should only go onto the hard shoulder if you have an emergency of your own.
If there’s no hard shoulder, make way for emergency vehicles by creating an “emergency corridor” - this is where vehicles in adjoining lanes move to opposite sides of their lanes to create a gap between them. When you’ve let an emergency vehicle through, stay where you are, as other vehicles are likely to be coming through.
Smart motorways
On a smart motorway, one or more lanes may be closed because of an incident ahead – you’ll know because of red X signs above the carriageway. Emergency vehicles will use these lanes if they can. Keep out of these red X lanes. If no lanes appear to be closed, be prepared to help create the emergency corridor. | https://www.biggleswadetoday.co.uk/lifestyle/cars/you-can-be-fined-for-making-way-for-emergency-vehicles-heres-how-to-stay-within-the-law-3730867 | 2022-06-14T17:28:58Z | https://www.biggleswadetoday.co.uk/lifestyle/cars/you-can-be-fined-for-making-way-for-emergency-vehicles-heres-how-to-stay-within-the-law-3730867 | true | 16 |
Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun has decided not to run for re-election in the Oct. 15th municipal election.
The surprise announcement from the two-term mayor, who led the city through the devastating November floods last year, came via social media on Monday night (June 13).
Braun said the decision came after “deep and detailed consideration,” leaving him with mixed emotions. His last day as mayor will be Nov. 7.
“Together, as a city council and community, we faced difficult and extreme events these past two years; in fact, I’d be untrue if I didn’t say they were some of the most difficult and extreme I’ve faced in my 54-year career,” Braun’s statement said.
“Leadership during times of risk and uncertainty is without a doubt much more challenging than in times of stability. However, throughout these events, the work of council and city staff continued, without interruption and with admirable performance.”
First elected to city council in 2011, Braun was elected mayor for the first time in 2014, and a second time four years later. He said he wanted to become a councillor first to get an insider understanding into how local government works.

Braun said “great strides” have been made towards his 2014 election goals – forward thinking, fiscal responsibility, government transparency, and community safety.
Abbotsford’s net financial position has gone from $17 million in the red to a surplus of $349 million during his time in office, Braun said.
He said up until his final day in November, he will continue to work hard to complete the city’s three-year strategic plan and finalize a preferred flood-mitigation option for Sumas Prairie.
Braun said the core of local government is often taken for granted, but not in Abbotsford.
“Abbotsford Fire and Rescue knocks down fires; clean water flows from our taps; Abbotsford Police Department keeps the peace; sewer lines aren’t plugged; potholes are fixed, roads are plowed, ditches are cleaned; garbage and recycling are picked up; parks and recreation facilities are well maintained; well-thought-out drainage and irrigation systems on both Matsqui and Sumas Prairies ensure our farmland continues to be the most productive agricultural land in Canada.”
Braun said serving the community has been “one of the most rewarding experiences of my life,” calling it an honour and a privilege.
“I don’t know that I’ll ever find the right words to express how much I appreciate the hard work and commitment of my Abbotsford City Council colleagues, especially during the November flood,” he said.
“Now, dear friends, it’s time to pass the torch.”

NEW YORK, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Blis, the audience-first platform that doesn't rely on personal data, today announced the launch of its new e-guide, titled 'Missing something? Finding the audiences no one is talking about…yet'. The new interactive e-guide was launched to help marketers understand the real impact of ID-reliant solutions on addressable audiences and the virtues of privacy-first solutions that don't rely on IDs to achieve accuracy at scale.
Changes to IDFAs and cookies have fundamentally impacted the ad ecosystem, from planning to targeting and measuring campaigns. The new e-guide looks at data from the United States, UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand to demonstrate that almost half of the digital addressable audiences on mobile – and nearly half on desktop – are being missed due to IDs.
To enable marketers to uncover the people behind these percentages, Blis also launched its new interactive calculator showing which lifestyle audiences are being impacted the most by this drastic audience deprecation, covering 10 lifestyle audiences from travelers to fashionistas.
From questioning the sustainability of the solutions to understanding different technologies' limitations, the guide highlights three top tips for marketers to consider when choosing their advertising partners. Blis hopes the e-guide will help brands and agencies better understand how to embrace the privacy-first reality and adjust expectations and methods of targeting, to find and reach their missing audiences.
"There's still this belief that brands are achieving the right audience at scale – and that that will only change once the Chrome deprecation comes into force," said Aaron McKee, CTO at Blis. "But the current reality is much more troubling, as advertisers that still rely on IDs are already missing out on almost half of their audiences. This is happening right now, in front of our eyes and marketers need to have the right questions in mind when choosing their advertising partners. Today, not tomorrow. If your partners tell you they're still reaching your precise audiences at scale with ID-only or cookie-led solutions, you'll see that the numbers in our 'missing audience calculator' tell a different story".
The e-guide is available for download and reinforces Blis' commitment to audience-first targeting at scale that doesn't rely on personal data. Blis' approach is based on accurate, consented location data, combined with a range of rich online datasets giving clients the deepest audience understanding available.

Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock has claimed that the Reds new sporting director Julian Ward is showing similar signs to his predecessor in having a huge impact on the club.
Ward who has replaced former sporting director Michael Edwards is about to make a mammoth mark on the club by signing 22-year-old Uruguayan star Darwin Nunez from Benfica.
Edwards who recently vacated his role at the club after spending 11 years at Anfield made some huge signing's during his tenure including bringing in the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Sadio Mane, Mo Salah and Alisson Becker.
As reported by the ECHO, Warnock spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live giving his opinion on Ward:
“It’s one that he (Ward) needed to get over the line (Nunez). How they managed the Sadio Mane situation is also interesting as well." Warnock said.

“It’s going to be interesting what happens now with the likes of Minamino, Oxlade-Chamberlain, whether those guys will move on.
"Carvalho has come in, whether that was his (Ward's) signing or whether that was something Michael Edwards tried to sort out during the January transfer window.
“From what you hear, in and around the club, is that Michael Edwards has taken a backwards step from January onwards ready for Julian Ward to take that step into the first team and to be able to bring players in.
"He has to continue that trend. This will be a big one (Nunez) for him to get over the line.”

WASHINGTON, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Following is a statement from Jen Judson, President of the National Press Club and Gil Klein, President of the National Press Club Journalism Institute on the reported release of Bloomberg Journalist Haze Fan from detention in China.
"We were relieved to hear that Bloomberg journalist Haze Fan has been released on bail in China, according to a Bloomberg report. The report is based on a statement on the Chinese Embassy website in Washington that seems to have been posted early last month. While we cautiously welcome this development, we continue to have concerns over the whereabouts, safety and wellbeing of Fan. We not that though the Chinese Embassy in Washington has said Fan was released in January, Bloomberg has been unable to reach her to confirm her status. Also, it is clear that there are still legal challenges remaining for her, which we continue to view as unjust.
Fan, a Chinese national, had worked for several western news organizations in China prior to her work with Bloomberg. She was taken from her apartment in December 2020 and there has been no news about her until today's Bloomberg report.
In 2021, the Press Club and its Journalism Institute honored Fan with its International John Aubuchon Award for Press Freedom in part to keep a spotlight on her case. Fan's case was a major focus of the Club's Fourth Estate Gala in the fall of 2021. As part of that Gala there was a full page Washington Post ad with Fan's photo. During a World Press Freedom Day campaign last month The Washington Post again ran a full-page ad featuring Fan. The Chinese Embassy responded to this ad by stating that Fan had been released on bail earlier this year, according to the Bloomberg report. The timeline described is complicated but seems to suggest Fan was released in the build up to Beijing's February Winter Olympics. Bloomberg is still working to confirm the timeline of events.
Founded in 1908, the National Press Club is the world's leading professional organization for journalists. With 3,000 members representing nearly every major news organization, the Club is a leading voice for press freedom in the U.S. and worldwide.
The National Press Club Journalism Institute promotes an engaged, global citizenry through an independent and free press and equips journalists with skills and standards to inform the public in ways that inspire civic engagement.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton joined his teammates Tuesday for the start of mandatory minicamp after he skipped the voluntary offseason program.
Becton missed almost all of his second NFL season after dislocating his right kneecap and spraining his MCL in the opening game against Carolina in September.
The No. 11 overall pick in 2020 has been working out on his own in the Houston area while staying in touch with the team. Becton's fiancée also recently gave birth to the couple's first child.
Coach Robert Saleh said last week he expected all of the team’s players to be present for the mandatory minicamp, so Becton’s attendance was not a surprise.
Offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said Becton “looks good,” but added the 6-foot-7, 363-pound lineman will work with the Jets' trainers during the team's minicamp practice sessions Tuesday and Wednesday.
“It was good to see him and I know he’s going through his process,” LaFleur said.
After Becton was injured last season against the Panthers, George Fant slid over from right tackle to Becton's left tackle spot and performed well. The Jets anticipate the two competing for the left tackle job during training camp — with the other likely playing right tackle.
Fant is also recovering from offseason knee surgery, but is expected to be fully recovered in time for training camp in late July. He and Becton were among a group of players, including defensive end Carl Lawson and tight end C.J. Uzomah, working in the trainers area at the start of practice.
Becton has played only left tackle in the NFL, but his athleticism and size have led the Jets to believe he can succeed at either spot.
“He’s a very large man that’s hard to run around in the pass game and then, for being such a big man, he’s got a great first step to get on players and move them in the run game,” LaFleur said. “Our scheme or any other scheme, he’s got the talent. ... The thing for Mekhi is for him just putting himself in the best situation for him going forward.”

Young Kim advances in California House race
Rep. Young Kim (R-Calif.) advanced to the general election in a key House race, according to The Associated Press, handing Republicans a win in their effort to take back the House.
Kim, who will face Democrat Asif Mahmood in November, garnered Republican backlash over her repeated efforts at bipartisanship. However, she’s veered more to the right after redistricting, which took her seat from having a 5-point Democratic registration advantage to a 5-point GOP registration advantage.
She faced a conservative challenge in the June 7 primary from Greg Raths, a Mission Viejo councilman and vociferous supporter of former President Trump.
Kim in recent weeks unleashed an avalanche of ad spending, most of it targeted at Raths, largely focusing on her conservative policy platforms such as her opposition to unauthorized border crossings.
Republicans had worried that Raths would be more vulnerable in November given that the Orange County-based district is not as conservative as his own reputation.
California employs what’s known as a jungle primary, in which candidates of all parties run in one primary and the top two vote-getters advance to the general election if no candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote.
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation.

"Outfocus" by Bill Adams is released with ForbesBooks
This release is posted on behalf of ForbesBooks (operated by Advantage Media Group under license).
NEW YORK, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Outfocus: Harness the Power of Collaboration by Targatek, Inc. CEO Bill Adams is now available. The book is published with ForbesBooks, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes, and is available on Amazon today.
In Outfocus, Bill Adams lays out a roadmap for leaders to "outfocus" their competitors and move their organizations closer towards excellence. In an attention diffused world, Outfocus provides clarity when it comes to the core leadership functions needed to succeed today. Playing catch-up, struggling to maintain a pulse on performance, and being unable to spur productivity are among the common leadership frustrations Adams attributes to the plague of "leadership-on-the-fly" that too often causes a fallout of credibility, and ultimately, an inability to lead effectively.
"Good leadership demands that leaders contend with the convergence of technology and the human element," Adams explains. "Great leaders will want to know what performance experts and senior operating leaders think about the convergence and why obstacles to this convergence can be the death knell for competing on the battlefield of tomorrow."
Drawing upon years of research and consulting experience in multinational and high-growth companies, Adams believes that embracing a new age of collaboration is the antidote to a leadership crisis that has gone unresolved for too long.

By Bojan Pancevski in Berlin and Joe Wallace in London
Germany moved to stabilize its energy supply Tuesday, injecting about €10 billion into the German subsidiary of Gazprom PJSC as the Russian gas giant said it would nearly halve the flow of fuel through a major pipeline connecting the two countries.
Berlin said the loan, equivalent to approximately $10.4 billion, from German state development bank KfW had become necessary to shield the business from the fallout of the sanctions war between the West and Moscow after its forces invaded Ukraine.

As Viacom18 walked away with the consolidated digital rights for the Indian Premier League, analysts said that Disney will find it difficult to scale up its streaming business. While its fully owned subsidiary Star India has bagged the TV rights for IPL at Rs 23,575 crore, falling TV viewership will lengthen the time necessary to recoup its investment and also hit margins, they added.
"It will be tough times for (Disney) Hotstar as digital rights have gone to Viacom18. Hotstar would need to go back to planning with a higher focus on non-sports. Hotstar was getting a significant amount of the subscribers and revenues due to IPL," said Abneesh Roy of Edelweiss.
In the last IPL cycle (2018-2022), Disney had won the combined rights for TV broadcasting and streaming for Rs 16,347 crore.
According to Karan Taurani, senior vice-president, Elara Capital, a large-ticket property such as the IPL is very important for any broadcaster to drive its digital strategy.
"One-third of Star’s revenue is IPL-led on both TV and digital, which reaffirms its importance. As per our estimates, 70 percent of Star India’s AVOD (OTT advertising) revenue is IPL-led, with SVOD (subscription) revenue largely following suit," said Taurani. AVOD stands for advertising video on-demand and SVOD refers to subscription video on-demand.
Cord cutting is gaining pace in India and OTT (over the top) platforms are gaining an audience often at the expense of TV viewership.
Disney+Hotstar had seen significant growth in its subscriber base over the years thanks to the IPL. By the end of this year’s edition, the streaming platform’s total subscriber base was 50.1 million, well over a third of its global subscribers of 137.7 million. Half of Disney’s most recent quarterly subscriber growth came from India, thanks to the IPL.
The Wall Street Journal cited analysts as saying that without the IPL, Disney+ could lose tens of millions of Indian subscribers which could hurt its aspiration of signing up at least 230 million subscribers by the end of fiscal 2024, a conclusion which Disney CEO Bob Chapek dismissed in a recent earnings call.
The Disney stock was trading 1.45 percent down at $94.32 at 9:15 pm Indian Standard Time on Tuesday compared to the S&P 500's 0.15 percent fall.
Paying high for TV rights
Streaming aside, Disney’s subsidiary Star could find the going difficult in making money from TV rights as well. IPL's TV viewership has been dropping with the league reporting 380 million viewers last year compared to 405 million in 2020 during its 13th season. The league's viewership in 2019 was recorded at 462 million.
On the other hand, streaming viewership for IPL has been growing with the league registering 421 million viewers last year as compared to 375 million and 325 million in 2020 and 2019 respectively. The league's digital viewership is expected to see the highest growth with analysts estimating it to touch 523 million in 2023.
It’s not only in sports, but even overall TV viewership is seeing a drop. DTH operators such as Tata Sky, Airtel Digital TV, Dish TV, and Sun Direct saw a drop in active subscriber base that fell to 68.52 million in December 2021 from 68.89 million in September 2021, reported Mint recently, quoting the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai).
In terms of revenue, while TV revenue is estimated to grow in the range of 6-8 percent over the next five years, digital media revenues or earnings from subscription and advertising on streaming platforms are estimated to grow at a faster pace of 30 percent, said Taurani.
Plus, there are concerns regarding TV subscription revenue which will keep average revenue per user (ARPU) under check due to regulatory headwinds like NTO 2.0. New tariff order (NTO) 2.0 is the revision of NTO 1.0 that was issued in January 2019. NTO 2.0 which caps channel pricing at Rs 12, down from the current price of Rs 19 is likely to impact TV's subscription revenue growth which could drop from 7-8 percent to 3-5 percent year-on-year in the first year of NTO 2.0's implementation, say analysts.
Thus, while digital has the potential to generate a gross margin of 24 percent in the fifth year of the IPL's media rights cycle helped by strong growth prospects, TV's gross margins will peak at 13 percent, said Taurani. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/sports-trends/ipl-rights-auction-disney-settles-for-legacy-media-hotstar-may-lose-out-8686691.html/amp | 2022-06-14T17:46:48Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/sports-trends/ipl-rights-auction-disney-settles-for-legacy-media-hotstar-may-lose-out-8686691.html/amp | false | 2 |

Records show numerous calls to Gainesville home prior to standoff with police
Police frequently visited a Mountain View Drive home in the months before the Tuesday, June 7, standoff with a Gainesville man, according to public records obtained by The Times.
Donald Ray Brown, 54, was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon after a four-hour standoff. He was booked into the Hall County Jail, where he remains with no bond.
Police said Brown’s mother called police around 10 a.m. Tuesday. Lt. Kevin Holbrook did not have further information Wednesday, June 8, on how the incident unfolded, and there were no new charges filed as of Wednesday.
Police said Brown fired multiple shots with a rifle, though no one was injured. Holbrook said they were still investigating the gunshots and how Brown obtained the rifle.
Holbrook said the standoff ended around 2 p.m. Tuesday, and Brown was transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center for evaluation.
“This event highlights the dangers of mental health and the crisis we deal with each and every day,” Gainesville Police said in a statement. “Our in-house departmental mental health clinicians play a vital role in protecting our public behind the scenes.”
Holbrook said police were familiar with Brown and the residence on Mountain View Drive, though he was unsure of the number of calls to that area.
“That’s one of the reasons we were able to make the connection that there was a mental health crisis,” Holbrook said.
911 call records obtained by The Times show four instances between January and May where officers were called to check on a person’s wellbeing.
A Gainesville Police officer responded Jan. 22 to the home for a similar issue and contacted mental health clinician Anjana Freeman. Freeman, with whom Brown was familiar, was on the scene for two to three hours, according to the officer’s report.
Three days after the incident, officers executed a search warrant on the Mountain View Drive home and found a Remington 12-gauge shotgun, a .380 pistol and more than 150 12-gauge rounds, according to the police report.
Officers returned to the home Feb. 5 and arrested Brown on a warrant for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
He was charged May 4 in Hall County Superior Court for the Jan. 22 incident.
According to court records, Brown was convicted in June 1996 on a habitual violator charge related to driving.
Brown was previously indicted in April 2019 on a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Defense attorney Matt Leipold, who is now a Juvenile Court judge, and Brown filed a motion arguing the charge’s statute was unconstitutional in Brown’s case based on the Second Amendment and the Georgia Constitution, according to court documents.
“Historically, the government could disarm those individuals ‘who demonstrated that they would present a danger to the public if armed,’” according to Judge David Burroughs’ order on the motion. “If the challenger’s circumstances distinguish him from those who show a likelihood of dangerousness, then ‘any resort to means-end scrutiny is inappropriate.’”
Because Brown’s only felony conviction is for a nonviolent driving offense, Burroughs granted the motion to stop the prosecution of Brown’s case in November 2019.
The district attorney’s office filed its official dismissal of the case on May 10, writing that it “has opted not to appeal” Burroughs’ ruling. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2630853832595/records-show-numerous-calls-to-gainesville-home-prior-to-standoff-with-police | 2022-06-14T17:53:32Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2630853832595/records-show-numerous-calls-to-gainesville-home-prior-to-standoff-with-police | true | 2 |

Navy censures 5 in deadly sinking of amphibious vehicle off Southern California
WASHINGTON — The Navy has issued letters of censure to three Marine and two Navy officers in connection with the sinking of an amphibious assault vehicle off the Southern California coast in 2020 that killed eight Marines and a sailor.
Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro, in a statement Monday, faulted the officers for “inadequate leadership and execution of their oversight duties.” Censure letters are put in service members' personnel files and are often career-ending for military officers, usually preventing them from further promotion or other progress.
A Marine Corps investigation found that inadequate training, shabby maintenance and poor judgment by leaders led to the July 30, 2020, sinking of the amphibious assault vehicle in one of the deadliest Marine training accidents in decades.
The vehicle — a kind of seafaring tank — had 16 people aboard when it sank rapidly in 385 feet (117 meters) of water off the coast of San Clemente Island. Seven Marines were rescued as the vessel was returning to a Navy ship on a training exercise.
Del Toro said Lt. Gen. Joseph Osterman, who was commander of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, failed to recognize and address the risks of the exercise, including training and safety failures. He said Osterman, who is now retired, also didn't recognize the impact of COVID-19 on the exercise, which forced commanders to adjust the timing and compress the schedule.
Del Toro said Col. Christopher Bronzi, who was serving as commander of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, either knew or should have known that pre-deployment waterborne training was not finished and that the amphibious vehicles were “in a degraded state of readiness."
“The investigations revealed critical safety measures were not implemented during the mishap,” said Del Toro. “Accountability for these failures rests with you.”
In a letter of censure to Navy Capt. Stewart Bateshansky, Del Toro pointed to “gaps and seams” in the planning of the exercise. He said that while Bateshansky, who was commander of the amphibious task force for the exercise, reduced the complexity of the planned event, his instructions to subordinate commanders weren't clear about the ability to abort or delay the launch from the beach.
Navy Capt. John Kurtz, who was the commanding officer on the USS Somerset, was censured for failing to ensure the safe operation of the amphibious vehicles.
Del Toro said that while “the investigation did not establish that any of USS Somerset's actions or inactions caused the sinking,” he said that Kurtz' crew “was poorly informed of the risks and measures required” for safe operation of the amphibious vehicles.
He said Lt. Col. Keith Brenize, who was the commander of the 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion, failed to ensure that the platoon was trained for the deployment and that the vehicles were operationally sound. “While no single decision or act led to this mishap, your decisions and acts set the conditions for this mishap to occur,” Del Toro said.
Eric Dubin, lawyer for the families of seven of the troops killed, said in a statement that his clients were glad to see the military taking action against the leadership involved.
“We are pleased the military continues to investigate this deadly tragedy and find accountability and answers,” Dubin said in a statement. But he added, “unfortunately our clients are stuck behind the roadblock that is the Feres Doctrine," referring to the legal theory that dictates that troops cannot sue the federal government for injuries sustained while serving in the military, with the exception of medical malpractice cases.
The Marines use the amphibious vehicles to transport troops and their equipment from Navy ships to land. The armored vehicles outfitted with machine guns and grenade launchers look like tanks as they roll ashore for beach attacks, with Marines pouring out of them to take up positions.

US Military: 5 Marines killed in aircraft crash in desert
SAN DIEGO (AP) — All five Marines on board an Osprey aircraft were killed when it crashed in the California desert near the Arizona border, the Marine Corps said Thursday, a day after the accident.
The MV-22 Osprey went down at 12:25 p.m. Wednesday during training in a remote area in Imperial County near the community of Glamis, about 115 miles (185 kilometers) east of San Diego and about 50 miles (80 kilometers) from Yuma, Arizona.
The aircraft was based at Camp Pendleton with Marine Aircraft Group 39 and was part of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing headquartered at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego.
“We mourn the loss of our Marines in this tragic mishap,” Maj. Gen. Bradford J. Gering, commanding general of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, said in a statement. “Our hearts go out to their families and friends as they cope with this tragedy.”
The statement said as a matter of policy, the Marine Corps would be contacting family members before identifying those who were killed. Efforts to recover equipment were underway and an investigation into the cause of the crash has started. No additional details were provided in the Marine Corps statement.
The Marines were participating in a routine live-fire training over their gunnery range in the Imperial Valley desert, said Marine Maj. Mason Englehart, spokesperson for the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing.
The Osprey, a hybrid airplane and helicopter, flew in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but has been criticized by some as unsafe. It is designed to take off like a helicopter, rotate its propellers to a horizontal position and cruise like an airplane.
Versions of the aircraft are flown by the Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force.
Prior to Wednesday's crash, Osprey crashes had caused 46 deaths, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Most recently, four Marines were killed when a Marine Corps Osprey crashed on March 18 near a Norwegian town in the Arctic Circle while participating in a NATO exercise. In 2017, three Marines were killed when their MV-22 Osprey crashed off Queensland, Australia. In 2015, one Marine was killed and 21 were injured when their MV-22 Osprey caught fire during a “hard landing” in Hawaii.
The Osprey is a joint project of Bell Helicopter Textron and Boeing.
Its development was marked by deadly crashes, including an April 2000 accident in Arizona that killed 19 Marines.

Win money in online casino roulette: a brief guide of best games in India
After reading this article, the player will be able to improve his chances to win money in online casino roulette
In this article, we will briefly talk about gambling that is popular in India: roulette, poker, blackjack. What are the basic rules, what are their features.
After reading this article, the player will be able to improve his chances to win money in online casino roulette.
How to play Live Casino?
To start playing, you must know:
- The value given to each card. The Ace has a value of 1 or 11, depending on what suits you best for your game; from number 2 to 9, they keep their value; while the 10, J, Q and K, have a value of 10.
- Each player at the table plays only and exclusively against the dealer.
- The name of the plays and what they are about. When your only turn is up, you must decide whether to stand, double, surrender, draw more cards, or split.
- To win you must add 21, or be the one that is as close as possible to that sum.
Once you understand these 4 points, you are ready to start practicing in the free games. Become an expert in them, and know all the plays, probabilities and dynamics of the game. Then hit the big leagues-play for real money. Poker is one of the most famous free and real money games in casinos, from it there are world tournaments that you have surely seen on the Internet or on TV. If you want to feel the same excitement you've seen from the experts, don't miss the opportunity offered by online games. Learn and try this online casino in india game for free, before you do it for real money. Meet this competitive game and launch yourself in the adventure. This is played with English decks. The game consists of making, with your 5 cards, one of these 10 combinations.
Roulette is a table game that you can get within online casino games, as an exclusive category. All gambling sites offer this game. This game consists of a numbered roulette wheel, a ball and a numbered board; and consists of matching your bet, choosing which number the ball will fall, once the roulette stops. Within free gambling, you can find the 3 types of free roulette: American, French and European. And in its real money version, you can also see the option of online or live play. The latter option is for those looking to have a more vivid emotion, when sharing with real dealers.
Let's now look at the differences between the three types of Roulette, so you can make a more conscious choice when it comes to playing.
Choose the type of Poker game you like best. You can start with the most famous, Texas Holdem. Baccarat is a card game that resembles the game of Blackjack. It is played with French cards and each participant plays against the house. The goal in this game is to get the sum of 9 points or as close to it. And just like Blackjack, you can get it on their version of free casino games, practice on them and then play for real money. With the passage of time, the world of gambling has changed a lot. Now you don't even need a computer to play slots or spin roulette-the iPhone casino will have you covered. First you could play simple slot machines and basic games of chance only in real establishments. Then online casinos started the whole new stage with casino games available to many people all over the world. And finally, several years ago, mobile casino games took the stage. On this page we will examine the world of iPhone casino games which is the great new way to play online and win.
Board games have been in our lives for a long time. Some claim that the oldest game dates from 3000 B.C., it had a board and dice. Over time, board games evolved and many more variants were invented, preserving the tradition of playing them around a table. Until it reaches its latest evolution, when being taken to online casinos, where we can enjoy them anywhere and at any time.
Among the table games that we can take advantage of in online casinos, we have: French, European and American roulette; Bingo, Craps, and the card games that we saw above. You can try all of these in free casino games, in their demo version and in their real money version. We explain what the first two are about, which are the most sought after. | https://thebridge.in/gp-article/win-money-online-casino-roulette-brief-guide-best-games-32410 | 2022-06-14T18:05:31Z | https://thebridge.in/gp-article/win-money-online-casino-roulette-brief-guide-best-games-32410 | true | 1 |

Teddi Mellencamp begs parents to stop Facetuning their children on social media... as she posts FILTERED snap of daughter Dove, 2: 'Let's savor our kids looking like kids'
- Teddi Mellencamp called on parents not to filter snaps of their kids on Tuesday
- To illustrate her point, she posted a filtered snap of her daughter Dove, two
- The former RHOBH star said, 'Let's savor our kids looking like kids'
- However, the point was lost on some followers who called the snap 'adorable'
Teddi Mellencamp appears to be taking a stand against parents that use filters when posting pictures of their children on social media.
However, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star made her point by sharing an image of her two-year-old daughter Dove that had been put through a filter, which many of her followers called 'adorable.'
'Y'all the "face-apping and tuning" of the kids is really getting next level on the gram,' Teddi began her Tuesday post to her 1million followers.
Teddi Mellencamp posts FILTERED snap of daughter Dove, 2, as she begs parents to stop Facetuning children: 'Let's savor our kids looking like kids'
'How about us over the age of 18 can use all the filters we please…but, let's savor our kids looking like kids. I am grateful none of these apps or anything other than clear neon house phones, polaroid cameras and pagers were around when I was growing up. Who is with me? #thefilteredlife.'
FaceTune and FaceTune2 are photo-editing apps used the world over by celebrities and influencers and FaceTune2 in particular features a digital makeup setting.
Teddi shares four children with her husband Edwin Arroyave; Slate, nine, Cruz, seven, Dove, two, and her stepdaughter Isabella, 12.
The original unfiltered image of Teddi and her little one first appeared on her account six weeks ago, where she revealed Dove had been sick with Croup, a disease that causes swelling in the airways and problems breathing.
The original: Teddi posted the unfiltered version of the snap six weeks ago to give a health update on her daughter Dove
Taking a stand: Teddi begged parents to stop Facetuning their children, as she shared a filtered snap of her daughter
Dove previously had to wear a special helmet for six months after undergoing a corrective procedure for Lambdoid Craniosynostosis, which refers to the premature fusion of bones near the back of an infant's skull.
On the filtered image that Teddi posted, many of her fans seemed to miss the point of her sentiment as they gushed over the altered image.
'Absolutely beautiful photo of Mother and Daughter!' one fan wrote, while another said: 'Teddi you and DOVE are so gorgeous.'
Others agreed with her however, with one fan writing: 'Teddi, I agree with you on that. It's pathetic that photoshop and face-tune exist. #nofilterneeded.'
Fam: Teddi shares four children with her husband Edwin Arroyave; Slate, nine, Cruz, seven, Dove, two, and her stepdaughter Isabella, 12
Another wrote: 'How about women just be women and not use the filters. Absolutely one of the many reason self esteem is in the tank for our young girls. They think you guys really are flawless.'
Teddi's stand comes a week after Tori Spelling was accused of filtering snaps of her 14-year-old daughter Stella for her graduation photos.
However, Tori insisted she was 'horrified' by the suggestion she'd digitally altered the image and said it was just 'make up' and 'studio lighting'.
She hit back: 'Horrified to read messages and press that I added heavy filters to my daughter. My photos are not from school in natural daylight at her actual graduation!
'Right after, she opted to up the amount of makeup bc she is a budding makeup guru ( and at school she needed to keep it natural) for a professional in studio photoshoot ( with in studio lighting) we did for her on our cooking show together #@homewithtori'

How to Style Your Favourite Jeans with the Right Footwear
Styling Tips
These are the most iconic footwear options to elevate the look of your everyday denim jeans.
You don't have to be a fashionista to rock a pair of blue jeans in style. You just need the right pair of shoes to complete the look, whether you're aiming for smart-casual office attire or a dressy outfit to take out on the town. For every denim style out there, from acid-washed flares to high-waisted skinny jeans, there's an iconic shoe that can take the look to the next level. Here's what you need to know about selecting the best shoe styles to wear with your favourite jeans.
Which Shoes Look Best with Jeans?
- Sneakers: pair high tops with skinny jeans for a laid-back look or opt for a low-profile shoe with straight-leg jeans. A pair of chunky-soled, white sneakers look trendy with distressed denim, while a rubber sole, cap-toe sneaker often pairs well with black jeans.
- Slip-ons: a pair of slip-on skate shoes or flip-flops make for the optimal laid-back outfit with almost any style of jeans.
- Oxfords: a pair of suede or full-grain leather Oxford shoes with cuffed slim jeans and a dress shirt makes for a dressed-up take on classic denim. Add a sport coat or blazer for a more formal look.
- Boots: a pair of ankle boots works well with boot-cut jeans for a semi-casual look, while over-the-knee or knee-high boots look great with skinny jeans. Desert boots and chukkas also work well with jeans for a casual outfit.
- Penny loafers: slim-fit jeans work great with pointed-toe penny loafers for a business-casual look, with or without socks.
- High heels: for a high-fashion look, pair skinny jeans with court shoes or stilettos, or opt for a chunky heeled shoe or sandal with a classic pair of mum jeans or flares.
Best Nike Shoes to Pair with Jeans
- Nike Air Force 1: the chunky sole on the Nike Air Force 1 works great with a pair of well-fitted, straight-legged jeans. Sneaker styles include low tops, high tops and boots in a variety of colour and fabric options, including fully customisable shoes and options for all types of weather. The retro-inspired Air Force 1 has Nike Air cushioning and a foam midsole for all-day comfort.
- Nike Blazer: the original 1972 basketball shoe has endured the test of time, evolving to include leather, suede and canvas uppers in low-top and mid-top styles. The sleek, clean lines of the Nike Blazer make it a great shoe to pair with slim-fit, dark-wash denim and a polo or dress shirt for a semi-casual day at the office. And these sneakers are built to last, with a solid rubber sole for traction, durability and a vintage look.
- Nike Air Max: the Nike Air Max styles are distinctly sporty for a casual look with a pair of relaxed jeans or skinnies. Visible Air units in the sole give the Air Max a retro athletic vibe, with a huge variety of colours, materials and designs. On top, throw on a graphic tee and leather jacket or hoodie for effortlessly cool street style.
- Nike Air Huarache: available in a stunning variety of colours and prints as well as classic white, the Nike Air Huarache pairs perfectly with slim-fitting jeans and a neutral, no-frills top. For a trendsetting look, these '90s-inspired sneakers also complement current '90s denim trends, such as washed black jeans and baggy ripped jeans. Originally developed as a running shoe, the Air Huarache was built for comfort, with Nike Air cushioning, a plush foam midsole and a cushioned inner sleeve that allows you to personalise your fit and look good with a variety of outfits.
- Nike Dunk: launched in 1985 as a basketball shoe, the Nike Dunk has become a symbol of individual style, available in both bold hues and subdued neutrals. Both high-top and low-top styles pair well with skinny jeans or cuffed straight-legged jeans. The elevated midsole adds height and standout style, while the leather upper and extended stitching provide a premium feel.
- Nike Internationalist: the classic Nike Internationalist pairs well with almost any style of jeans, from sleek skinny jeans to baggy distressed denim. Pair lighter jeans with soft neutrals or dark denim with deep hues. You can even customise the colours and materials for a look that is uniquely you. This iconic 1980s low-top shoe was originally designed for runners, so it provides cushioned comfort all day long.

Which Disney princess doll is best?
For decades, Disney has made movies featuring beautiful princesses with a wide range of personalities and backgrounds. Between Snow White and Princess Elsa, there is a Disney princess for everyone, each serving as a role model for children and adults alike.
With so many different princesses, there is a doll for everyone, but narrowing down which one is best can be difficult when there are so many options. Dolls like the Disney Princess My Friend Belle Doll offer both variety and versatility for any big Disney princess fan.
What to know before you buy a Disney princess doll
Types of Disney dolls
- Standard: These dolls stand at about 11.5-12 inches tall, designed similarly to Barbie dolls. They have joints that articulate, allowing elbows and knees to bend. Many have hair that can be styled and some include small accessories.
- Large: Slightly larger than the standard size, these dolls usually sit at around 14 inches tall — a better fit for smaller hands. The features on these dolls are typically more childlike rather than matches to their movie counterparts.
- Miniature: Miniature dolls can sit from 3-5 inches tall and usually include several dolls. These are a good way to get more than one doll without boosting the cost too much.
- Bath dolls: These dolls are intended for bath time or any kind of water play. Some have features like water-activated color changes.
Age
Standard Disney princess dolls don’t include any additional accessories and are intended for imaginative play. Young children under age 3 haven’t developed this type of play as well as older children and therefore may become bored much quicker. You know your child best, so be sure the doll you get fits their style of play.
What to look for in a quality Disney princess doll
Material
Most Disney princess dolls are made of durable plastic that holds up well to rough play. Some of the more rare, collectible dolls are made from materials not meant for playing, so be sure to pick a doll that will fit your child’s playing style.
Features
Additional features may be included with your Disney princess doll. Some have buttons or strings that make the doll sing or speak, though these dolls require batteries that usually have to be bought separately. Some have light-up or color-changing features, which can be very visually engaging for young children.
Accessories
Some Disney princess dolls come with several outfits or notable items from their movie. While these certainly aren’t required, they can help enhance your child’s imaginative play with their favorite princess. Many lines of Disney princess dolls also offer outfits and accessories that can be purchased separately.
How much you can expect to spend on a Disney princess doll
Some single standard-sized dolls and sets of miniature dolls cost $15-$30. Sets of many dolls and dolls with accessories can cost $30-$70. The most expensive dolls are collectible and often come in sets, costing $70-$250.
Disney princess doll FAQ
Can you wash your Disney princess doll’s hair?
A. Though it takes a little work, it is possible to detangle and wash your doll’s hair. Start by combing it out; you may need to spray it with a little water to get all the knots out. Fill a bowl with cool water. Using a small dab of baby shampoo, swirl the doll’s hair in the bowl and gently work it into the hair. Let it soak for about 10 minutes, then replace with clean, cool water about three times or until all the shampoo is gone. Brush out the hair once it is damp. This method helps ensure that the hair doesn’t get damaged.
Can Disney princess dolls wear clothes that were purchased separately?
A. Because most Disney princesses have more than one notable look, it is common for them to offer additional outfits that can be sold separately. Standard-sized dolls (about 11.5 inches tall) can fit into Barbie clothes and other dolls of that size.
How can you tell whether or not your Disney princess doll can go in water?
A. Any doll without fabric or cloth elements can make great water toys. Plastic dolls can make great bath time companions and are easy to dry off. If fabric clothes on a doll accidentally get wet, they can usually be removed and dried.

Documents rediscovered: Sojourner Truth’s fight to save son from slavery
(AP) - In 1828, years before she took the name Sojourner Truth, a Black woman who had escaped slavery with her infant daughter won a court fight in New York’s Hudson Valley to bring her son, Peter, home from Alabama.
It was a historic case of a Black woman seeking the release of her son from slavery prevailing in court against a white man. Isabella Van Wagenen, as she was known then, would gain enduring fame as an outspoken abolitionist and women’s rights advocate. As for her deposition and the rest of the court documents, they were boxed up and eventually stored among a million other records, unseen and unrecognized for their significance.
Until 194 years later.
An eagle-eyed state archivist searching for something else spotted the court records in January. Now, they will briefly be on public display Wednesday at the Ulster County Courthouse in Kingston, New York, the same building she walked into almost two centuries ago seeking justice. The eight hand-written pages offer new details about a significant turning point in her eventful life.
“This was extremely brave of Isabella,” said Nell Irvin Painter, author of “Sojourner Truth: A Life, A Symbol.” “Just the fact that she was a woman going up against powerful men, that’s extraordinary right there. And then you add in race, and then you add in class. So it’s an amazing story.”
Painter will be among the people in Kingston on Wednesday, eager to glimpse the historic documents found by happenstance.
For the past 40 years, the papers have been safely, if anonymously, stored at the climate-controlled New York State Archives in Albany. They were uncovered there by Jim Folts, head of researcher services at the archives, who had been looking for habeas corpus examples from that era for a history book on New York’s courts.
Combing through boxes of documents, he found one from 1828. It had a woman’s name on it, which was unusual for the time. Interest piqued, he read the yellowed paper and saw the woman, Isabella Van Wagenen, was trying to recover her son from slavery.
“That rang the bell,” Folts said recently in an interview at the archives, “because Isabella Van Wagenen was then the name of the person who became known as Sojourner Truth.”
Researchers compare the surprising find to coming across missing puzzle pieces. Though Truth later recalled that the event happened in open court in the autumn of 1828, court papers indicate it happened that spring, and not in open court, Folts said. In her brief deposition, she said Peter was 9 years old.
“We always wondered, ‘Where were these records?’” said Paul O’Neill, Ulster County’s commissioner of jurors.
The documents are written in the same sort of lawyer-speak still used in courts today, including Van Wagenen’s testimony. She could neither read nor write, but left a simple “X” on the page by her name.
“This is her DNA left behind on this document. The rest is legalese and all of that,” said State Archivist Thomas Ruller, pointing at the mark on the page. “This is Sojourner Truth, this is where she shows up in this story.”
Born into slavery in or around 1797 in the Hudson Valley, she walked away from the home of her final owner in 1826 with her infant daughter after he reneged on a promise to free her. She went to work for the Van Wagenen family, and took their surname.
Meanwhile, her son Peter was sold into slavery in Alabama. The sale occurred during the gradual phase out of slavery in New York, where Peter would have been an indentured servant until he was older. But the sale of Peter to another state was illegal.
Faced with the prospect of never seeing him again, she went to court in Kingston to get him back. Painter said she relied on two lawyers allied with her and her faith in the Holy Spirit.
A grand jury proceeding was apparently enough to prompt the man who sold Peter to have him sent back to New York. But it was her application for a writ of habeas corpus that led to them being reunited. A Supreme Court Commissioner, acting with powers of a judge, ordered Peter freed March 15, 1828.
It was believed to be the first time a Black woman successfully sued white men to get her son released from slavery, though it’s possible there were other cases researchers are unaware of.
It was a bittersweet reunion. Peter’s body showed evidence of beatings, and it took the traumatized child time to accept his mother. Peter did not have an easy life, Painter said.
“He ended up, as many troubled young men did at that time, on a Nantucket whaling vessel, and he was finally lost at sea,” Painter said.
Van Wagenen took the name Sojourner Truth in 1843 and lived another 40 years.
The court papers from that day were shipped north to Albany. They were transferred to the newly founded Court of Appeals in 1847 upon a reorganization of the state court system, and stayed at New York’s top court for more than a century. The records came to the state archives in 1982, stored in anonymity until Folts’ serendipitous discovery this winter.
“There are thousands of these boxes, millions of these documents,” Ruller said. “And many of them will contain the stories of other individuals who may not be as well known or well heard of. But their stories are just as important.”

BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — Fran Quinn knew his odds of making the U.S. Open weren't great. He's 57.
But when his 23-year-old son, Owen, said he was going to try to qualify, Fran figured that with the tournament happening right down the road from his house this year, it might be worth it. He told Owen, “You know what, throw me in there, too.”
That $200 entry fee was worth it.
Quinn will be the oldest player to tee it up at The Country Club this week. The PGA Tour Champions pro is making his fifth appearance at the U.S. Open, bookending this one — a mere 40-minute drive from his hometown of Holden — with his debut at Pebble Beach in 1992.
“It wasn't really on my schedule,” Quinn conceded, after playing a back-nine practice round on Monday with his wife, Lori, carrying the bag and Owen shooting distances from the fairway. “It's just really exciting. And I'm playing some solid golf.”
Quinn isn't unlike many of the 65 players who made the field through qualifying. A good number are journeymen and grinders. All are hoping to catch fire for a round, or two, or four, and cash a check and maybe move up the rankings on whatever tour they're on. Hardly any come in thinking they could be the next Ken Venturi or Orville Moody, who are the only two players in the history of the U.S. Open, which dates to 1895, to win after making it through local and sectional qualifying.
What makes Quinn different is his age. Sure, the U.S. Open gives a spot to the winner of the U.S. Senior Open — an honor that belongs to 52-year-old Jim Furyk this year. And yes, Tom Watson made the cut in 2010 at age 60 and Jack Nicklaus did the same back in 1998 when he was 58. Sam Snead was racking up top-10 finishes at the PGA Championship in his 60s.
But theirs are all household names. Quinn's? Not quite, though he does have a lengthy resume. He's been playing Champions Tour events since 2015. Before that, he made 366 starts and won four times on the Korn Ferry Tour, which led to 71 more starts on the PGA Tour, mostly in the 1990s and 2000s. But to put into perspective how fickle this game is, he did not make it through the local qualifying round for the U.S. Senior Open.
He did make it for the main event.
Well-known in these parts, Quinn has been getting his fair share of love from the gallery during his practice rounds. He's played The Country Club a dozen or more times over the years. Never quite like this.
“The fairways are tighter, the rough thicker,” Quinn said. “It's pretty firm out there. And they've lengthened it a lot since the last time I played here.”
His son Owen was captain of the Lehigh golf team and recently turned pro. Owen and Fran shot matching 1-over 72s in the local round of qualifying; they both teed it up at Taconic Golf Club in Williamstown, Massachusetts.
That earned them spots in the 36-hole sectional in Purchase, New York. Fran shot 2 under for two rounds and was one of three players to advance out of an eight-man playoff for the final spots. Owen shot 4 over and missed the playoff by six shots.
“He's got game,” Fran said of his son. “He's long, he's strong. He flies it 325 yards, and he's still learning how to play at that level.”
Owen will get to watch that level close-up this week at The Country Club, much as he did in 2014 — Fran's last trip to the U.S. Open.
Owen got some air time that week at Pinehurst while carrying the bag for his dad, who was tied for second after the first round and on the top half of the leaderboard heading into the weekend.
“In the third round, I hit 15 greens and shot 7 over,” Fran said. “I missed (putts) seven times inside of 6 feet. So that was the difference.”
This might be the perfect place to say that, at age 57, Quinn is thrilled simply to have a chance to soak it all in one more time — and on a course so close to home, at that.
But no. Asked what a good week would look like for him, Quinn said: “To be in contention.”
“I'm playing well right now,” he said. “I'm here to play golf.”

Technology giants Apple strike significant long-term global partnership with MLS
By PA Staff published
Technology giants Apple have made their first foray into live football broadcasting after striking a significant long-term global partnership with Major League Soccer.
The sports broadcasting world has changed markedly in recent years as streaming platforms become major players in the market and viewers’ habits change.
Apple have made their biggest move in that realm to date by signing a 10-year partnership with MLS to show all matches across the world – a deal the league hails as a “historic first for a major professional sports league”.
The agreement kicks off in early 2023 and MLS commissioner Don Garber believes that Apple TV will provide the catalyst for the ever-improving competition to grow even further.
“This (partnership) sort of seems like a bit of the icing on the cake,” the MLS commissioner told the PA news agency.
“We really have been very focused on building a league that we all can be proud of, that could become one of the top leagues in the world, that could show fans here and globally that America, North America, are soccer markets.
“And now with a global opportunity to build a fan base with the leader in global product and global technology and global innovation, it’s going to allow us to expand beyond our borders.
“This gives us the ability to participate not only in the global market for players but on the global market for fans, and that any game, anytime, anywhere without restrictions really is the rocket fuel that’s going to get us to that point.
“So, it is the perfect sort of end to the previous beginning and gives us a new sort of journey towards the World Cup and beyond.”
Garber said MLS is “very pleased with the financials” of a deal that, among other things, will allow for an improved schedule, better quality broadcasts and see season ticket holders at the clubs receive a subscription.
This is just Apple’s second rights deal for live sports having acquired a package with Major League Baseball in March, but they have achieved great success in football with their comedy-drama Ted Lasso.
Apple’s senior vice president of services Eddy Cue believes this unique partnership is a “huge, huge opportunity for both of us to do something great”.
“Look, it’s a huge moment for sports,” Cue told the PA news agency. “It’s a dream come true for fans.
“It’s truly the first time ever that fans can access everything – every game from a major professional sports league in one place. There’s no blackouts, no restrictions. It’s going to be incredibly fun.
“We’re excited about the viewing experience we can bring. I can guarantee you it’s going to reflect Apple’s style of dedication that we have to great customer experience, so we’re excited to share more of that as details come about.
“We’re also committed to growing the sport of soccer with MLS.
“It’s already the fastest growing sport in North America and we’re really excited about having people fall in love with MLS, rooting for their favourite club.
“When you look, it’s only going to get bigger: the World Cup is coming to the US, Canada and Mexico in 2026.”
Apple’s move into football will attract the interest of competitions across the globe given the company has long been linked with a move into the live rights arena.
A historic day for North America.— Major League Soccer (@MLS) June 13, 2018
Cue says there is “nothing certainly to talk about beyond” the MLS deal right now but said the company “want to bring the best content that we can in a way that only that we can do”.
Pushed on whether Apple would do further deals within football in the future, he said: “I never say never to anything from that standpoint, but it’s not that we’re actively trying to do and find things.
“We’re trying to find unique opportunities and I think MLS is in that position in a huge way and what we’re doing together I think is unprecedented and I’m truly, truly excited about what we’re going to build.”

Booker T believes that AEW should have “some responsibility to bear” when it comes to Jeff Hardy’s recent DUI arrest.
Hardy was arrested yesterday morning in Volusia County, FL., his third DUI in 10 years. During his “Hall Of Fame” podcast Booker weighed in on the situation saying this incident and the one with Sunny, who was arrested for vehicular manslaughter while under the influence of alcohol, are examples of “how serious addiction really is.”
Booker pointed out that Hardy is “one of those guys” who has been dealing with issues for “quite some time,” with the former WWE Superstar often being open about his struggles in the past. But this situation made Booker say, “wow,” due to the potentially serious ramifications.
“It’s public as far as Jeff Hardy’s struggles with addiction,” he said. “Man, it’s sad because this is serious … a class three felony, he could face up to five years in prison, and that right there just makes it a little bit different.”
Just as he did in regards to Sunny, Booker made it clear he doesn’t wish jail time “on anybody,” and he has seen people commenting to claim “AEW didn’t put the drink in his hand.” But for the two-time WWE Hall Of Famer, you have to “go back and look at the compilation of death-defying dives” that Hardy has “pulled off since arriving in AEW.”
“I’m a tell you right there, pain comes along with that,” he said on Hardy’s bumps. “When you got pain, a lot of times you will go and drink, take drugs to numb the pain, therefore, damn it, I just relapsed. Did he try to do it? Probably not, but that’s what people with addiction do.”
Right now, the future of Hardy in AEW is unknown as no official comment has been made by the company, but Booker said “I hope not” when asked if he wants to see Hardy in the ring again soon. That is a message that Booker had after Jeff’s most recent WWE departure, which came to end in controversial circumstances.
Hardy left a match at a live event just before the finish, jumping over the barricade to walk away through the fans, which led to WWE demanding he takes a drug test and goes to rehab. It has since been stated by Matt Hardy that the test results all came back clean, and he then got to work for AEW.
Booker T made it clear that “it’s not about his wrestling” anymore, however, wrestling is “something that is going to be there for him” as “the fans love Jeff Hardy.” Booker knows that the wrestling audience is “going to support him,” so now he would like to see him focus on his health.

TRANSCRIPT:
Good morning, it is Tuesday, June 14th, 2022 and THIS is your Eye On Annapolis Daily News Brief.
Yesterday I said IF I was motivated, I’d get that bonus pod out–and darn it all..I did! Make sure you listen to that one with Chef of the Year Gregory James from the Inn at Perry Cabin–that was fun. We also spoke to the Annapolis Irish Fest people and will soon have some freebies and a discount code–so stay tuned and put July 16th on your calendar! OK, let’s get into the news, shall we?
The Annapolis Fire Department has said that careless smoking was the cause of the fire that caused significant damage to Sailor Oyster Bar last week. More specifically, they said improperly discarded smoking materials. They still do not have a damage estimate, but there are a TON of fundraisers for the employees. Scott, the owner has directed all funds to his employees while they rebuild and you can find out the official ones (I have lost my skepticism since last Thursday) on the Sailor Oyster Bar Facebook Page. I hopped over to Heroes and bought some raffle tickets to support them and they have also partnered with Black Anchor and Matt Reese for some special t-shirts similar to the ones we had when all of the restaurants were closed during the pandemic. So head to Heroe’s Facebook page and support SOB through them–and a huge bonus is that the t-shirts are made here locally in Annapolis and not some offshore company that is printing them one at a time.
Let’s talk about some police news! Two men were shot in Annapolis on Saturday morning. At about 2:30 am, two men arrived at AAMC with gunshot wounds–one to the arm, a graze wound, and the other to the chest. They both were flown to shock trauma. The Annapolis Police say it was likely a result of an attempted robbery on Melrob Court when the two victims were approached by two suspects each brandishing guns.
About three hours later, shots rang out in the Harbour House community in Eastport as well. There were no victims, but there was damage to the apartment building. Police did get a description of the vehicle they fled in and found it in the Robinwood community still occupied by three individuals. Two of them were arrested and a 9mm handgun was recovered.
Up in Pasadena, the Anne Arundel County Police are investigating a robbery and assault of a juvenile by a gang of 12 other juveniles. It happened in the 8400 block of Ft. Smallwood Road on Saturday night just before 9:00 pm. They punched the victim from behind and stole his cell phone, bicycle and shoes. This is a pretty busy area and police are asking anyone that may know something to call them at 410-222-4700.
Just some more updates on the Mayor’s nearly-deputized boat. The Office of Law responded to our inquiry of the Harbormaster and it seems that the Mayor was issued a $100 citation for docking a boat that is too large and has too much horsepower at the dinghy dock in his neighborhood on May 18th. Subsequent to that, this legislation was created and introduced which will indeed allow him to dock his boat there without any citations. The Mayor did pay the fine on June 3rd. The next council meeting on June 27th will be the second reader which will solicit public opinion and testimony on this legislation and it is quite possible that the City council may waive the rules and put it up for a vote the same night. I have been in touch with a few of the Aldermen and women and several of them feel this legislation is of little consequence.
And as we begin to wrap it up, this is so awesome and it comes from Crosby Marketing and Communications in West Annapolis. They got together with AACC and put together a $100,000 scholarship program for underrepresented students to pursue degrees and future careers in advertising and public relations. Each year they are going to give four scholarships which is cool, but at the end of the two years, they will receive a paid summer internship at Crosby. The first enrollee will be this fall and if you are interested, aacc.edu/crosby-marketing-scholars-program and there are dashes in between crosby, marketing, scholars, and program.
And finally, it’s ticket Tuesday from Rams Head On Stage. Jim Brickman on the 19th–that’s Sunday and I am not sure if it is the 4 pm or the 7 pm show..guessing the 7 pm one. But if you are a fan of piano..this is your show at Rams Head On Stage on June 19th! Are you up for it? They are great seats and all you need to do is reach out to me on Twitter or email and let me know you want to go, and I might pick you! If you won recently take a pass on this and let someone else win. And make sure you check out all the other great shows coming up at Ram Head at RamsHeadOnStage.com. But wait, that’s not all. I am not sure how many I have just yet, but I am going to give away 2 pairs of tickets to Eastport A Rockin. Same deal–tell me you want to go and I might pick you. Eastport a Rockin is on the 25th and make sure you check out the bonus pod we did with Jessica on the best little festival in Maryland. And Jess if you are listening–you owe me tickets and a discount code!
Podcast news. Up this Saturday on the local business spotlight, Rehab 2 Perform, and next weekend is Muralize It–two great Argentinian women! And a bit later this week..maybe today, that bonus pod with Liliac!
Alright, that’s it, and a quick thank you to our sponsors for the Daily News Brief– Solar Energy Services, Rehab 2 Perform, and the Kristi Neidhardt Team of Northrop Realty, a Long and Foster Company.
So now, hang tight, we have George Young from DCMDVA Weather standing by with your locally forecast weather report. And all that’s coming up, in just a bit.

Two adults were arrested following a foot pursuit after officers received an alert from the City’s license plate reader.
The LPR system, Blue Sentinel, alerted officers to a stolen 2004 Galant entering the La Vergne city limits on Monday, June 13 around 2:00 p.m. A K9 patrol spotted the vehicle and followed it to a gas station on Waldron Road. The driver fled on foot into a tree line behind the station while the three other occupants were detained. K9 Bora and her handler Officer Larry Holliday were able to track down the driver a short time later and take him into custody. Inside the vehicle, officers found a handgun and narcotics.
The driver, identified as 20-year-old Tyquan Hill, was wanted for several warrants, including theft, evading, and probation violation. He was charged with evading police, vehicle theft, felony possession of marijuana, contributing to the delinquency of a minor (x2), and the existing warrants. The other adult, identified as 19-year-old Vijay Gurung, was charged with drug and firearm possession. Two juveniles in the vehicle were cited and released to their parents. | https://rutherfordsource.com/lpr-alert-system-leads-to-foot-pursuit-and-arrests-in-la-vergne/ | 2022-06-14T18:22:04Z | https://rutherfordsource.com/lpr-alert-system-leads-to-foot-pursuit-and-arrests-in-la-vergne/ | true | 1 |
Dubai: Two Saudi citizens have been arrested in Riyadh after a video clip showed them beating an employee at a shopping mall in the capital.
The video went viral on social media in which one of the two attackers is seen intentionally ramming into the employee. The other then is seen asking the victim to come with him. However, both suddenly and brutally attack and punched the staff member.
Many other staff and bystanders rushed to separate the attackers from the victim. However, the fight escalated, involving more staff until bystanders intervened.
Following the viral video, Riyadh police launched an investigation and arrested the suspects.
The Public Security sources said in a statement that preliminary investigations showed that the assault was due to a dispute that happened at the cash counter.
Legal measures were taken against the suspects and they were referred to the Public Prosecution, the sources added. | https://gulfnews.com/world/gulf/saudi/two-saudis-arrested-for-brutally-beating-mall-staff-1.88576147 | 2022-06-14T18:22:16Z | https://gulfnews.com/world/gulf/saudi/two-saudis-arrested-for-brutally-beating-mall-staff-1.88576147 | false | null |

'The inmates are running the prison': Former Rikers correction officer lifts the lid on HORRIFIC reality of working in the infamous jail - revealing inmates masturbated in front of her, threw 'urine and feces' at her, and tried to rape a female colleague
- The woman, who kept her identity hidden, worked at the jail for two years - which is the home to more than 10,000 accused criminals who are awaiting their trials
- She spoke out about the terrible things she faced while working at the New York City prison, revealing that inmates would assault officers 'daily'
- She claimed that the inmates would put their penises through the food slot while she was delivering meals to them and start masturbating in front of her
- The former jail staffer also recalled a time when an inmate got into the guard station and 'ripped off' a female officer's belt and pants, attempting to 'rape' her
- The anonymous woman said the system has 'definitely failed everyone involved,' adding, 'We are at a time where the inmates are running the prison'
- She claimed that she would work for more than 24-hours in a row without sleep, and that she eventually started to develop chest pain due to the stress of her job
A former Rikers correction officer has opened up about the horrific experiences she endured while working in the infamous jail, revealing inmates would regularly masturbate in front of her, throw 'urine and feces' at her, and even attempted to rape a female colleague.
The woman, who kept her identity hidden for privacy reasons, worked at the jail for two years - which is the home to more than 10,000 accused criminals who are awaiting their trials.
She spoke out about the terrible things she faced while working at the prison - which is located on an island between Queens and the Bronx in New York City - revealing that inmates would assault officers 'daily' and put their penises through the food slot while she was delivering meals to them.
'There's been multiple occasions when I've been touring, and an inmate will pull his penis out and will masturbate,' she told Vice recently.
'I remember the first time an inmate masturbated in front of me. I was feeding them through the feeding slot.
'Once you open their slot to put their tray, they would put their penis in the slot. I screamed, and the other officers on the tour were like, "What happened?"
'I was like, "He's masturbating." And they were like, "Oh, he does that to everyone." Like it was just normal. I felt violated. I felt disrespected. I felt scared.'

The woman, who kept her identity hidden, worked at the jail (pictured) for two years - which is the home to more than 11,000 accused criminals who are awaiting their trials
The former officer explained that most of the people are there for violent crimes like 'murder, rape, domestic violence, burglary, and robbery,' adding, 'It's just an island filled with gangs that are constantly trying to kill each other.'
'They would set fires in their cell. You can be walking doing your tour and all of a sudden, urine or feces is thrown at you,' she continued.
'Almost all of them have weapons - knives or sharp objects. Officers would be assaulted daily.
'It can range from a broken nose, to a broken eye socket, broken bones, ribs, there's no limit to what these inmates would do to you. We are at a time where the inmates are running the prison.'
The anonymous woman said the system has 'definitely failed everyone involved.'
'I was hired to provide custody, care, and control of the inmates,' she added. 'The system has definitely failed everyone involved - the inmates, the officers. Everyone involved is suffering.'
The former jail staffer recalled one time when an inmate had gotten into the guard station and 'ripped off' a female officer's belt and pants.
'Thankfully, an officer came and was able help her. [The inmate] was being held for rape, I believe his intentions were to rape her,' she said.
'They suggested that we wear Spanx underneath our uniform just in case. There shouldn't be a "just in case."'

She continued, 'I have seen female officers terminated for having relationships with the inmates. There has been incidents where officers have been impregnated by inmates.
'Once you start a relationship with an inmate, or once you say yes to them once, you can't say no because you're locked in, you're trapped at that point.'
The woman explained that there was normally 50 inmates for every one guard, and that although they are given pepper spray for protection, some of the inmates are 'used to it' so it 'does nothing to them.'
She said that if she were to report an incident, her superiors would turn it on her and ask, 'What did you do wrong? What did you not do to prevent it?'
She also stated that her captain often 'sided with the inmate before they sided with her,' and that it felt like they were 'just there to tear her down.'
According to the Rikers guard, drugs are 'rampant' in the jail - and are brought in by officers, people in charge of programs, doctors, nurses, and civilians visiting inmates.
'There's K2, pentanol, marijuana - any drug you can think of, they probably have it,' she shared.
'The value of any drug in jail is worth much more than it would be worth on the outside. Maybe five times more.
'There were definitely officers accepting bribes. Not only officers, but civilians bring it in as well - the people who are in charge of programs, doctors, nurses. Some of them are scared, some of them do it for the money.'

The officer said the job was 'so draining' that she would come home and go right to bed - sleeping until her next shift. And when the pandemic hit, things got worse.
She claimed she and her coworkers would often get 'stuck' working 16-hour shifts back to back, resulting in them working for more than 24-hour periods without sleep.
She explained, 'You're on post for 24 hours and then a fight breaks out and they expect you to do everything right on no sleep. You're supposed to still do your duties to the best of your ability.'
The woman told Vice that she started to develop chest pain due to the stress of her job, adding that she had colleagues who died from heart attacks over it.
'I didn't have a coping method,' she said. 'I remember thinking, "I'm 21, and I'm going to have a heart attack." I hit rock bottom.
'I actually tried to quit three times but they always convinced me to stay in the fight. I remember getting to a point where I was like, "I can't do this anymore ... I'm done."'
Eventually, she left the profession, and she said 100s of others followed in her footsteps afterwards.
'If I could talk to an officer that was looking to join corrections, I would tell them, "Don't do that. It's not worth your quality of life, it's not worth your mental health. Until there is some sort of structure and safety, you shouldn't even consider it,"' she concluded. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10912973/Former-correction-officer-opens-horrors-job-revealing-inmates-tried-rape-colleagues.html | 2022-06-14T18:23:40Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10912973/Former-correction-officer-opens-horrors-job-revealing-inmates-tried-rape-colleagues.html | true | 3 |
William Koeppel is suing his mother, Roberta, and sister, Alexandra, to replace them as the trustees of a portfolio of 10 buildings in and around the city. He alleges in documents filed with the Surrogate Court of Manhattan that his mother’s mismanagement of the properties has left them in disrepair and with collectively more than 1,000 violations regarding their elevators, boilers and facades.
Roberta Koeppel was listed as the 47th worst landlord in New York City by the public advocate’s office in 2020. There were on average 442 open Department of Housing Preservation and Development violations across two of her properties, according to the list. She was not listed last year.
Although he’s been estranged from his family for 25 years, William Koeppel is set to inherit all but two of the buildings when his mother dies, according to court papers; the remaining properties go to his sisters. | https://www.crainsnewyork.com/real-estate/worst-landlord-mother-sued-son-over-koeppel-family-real-estate-portfolio | 2022-06-14T18:23:53Z | https://www.crainsnewyork.com/real-estate/worst-landlord-mother-sued-son-over-koeppel-family-real-estate-portfolio | true | 1 |
