JUBA, South Sudan (AP) — At least 1.7 million hungry people in South Sudan are losing humanitarian food aid “at the worst possible time” as the United Nations World Food Program suspends the help, blaming critical funding shortages.
South Sudan faces unprecedented hunger amid climate shocks, soaring food prices linked to the war in Ukraine and recovery from civil war. Over 60% of the population of more than 11 million people faces severe food insecurity, according to WFP, which said it had to halve food rations last year.
Among those now losing food aid in the middle of South Sudan’s lean season are 178,000 children who will no longer receive school meals, WFP said.
Food security experts have warned that 1.4 million children will be acutely malnourished during the lean season between June and August.
“Humanitarian needs are far exceeding the funding we have received this year. If this continues, we will face bigger and more costly problems in the future, including increased mortality, malnutrition, stunting, and disease,” WFP acting country director Adeyinka Badejo said in a statement. | https://wgnradio.com/news/international/un-cuts-food-aid-to-1-7-million-hungry-people-in-south-sudan/ | 2022-06-15T03:29:53Z | https://wgnradio.com/news/international/un-cuts-food-aid-to-1-7-million-hungry-people-in-south-sudan/ | true | 32 |
What Is Power Walking—And Do You Need to Add It to Your Weekly Workouts?
Sport & Activity
Both research and experts indicate that walking at a fast pace can lead to some impressive health benefits.
While walking is a low-maintenance and effective form of exercise, power walking ramps up this basic movement to the next level.
"Power walking is walking at a rapid speed with arms pumping, moving in a heel-to-toe step", said Gretchen Zelek, AFAA-certified group fitness instructor and FIA-certified functional ageing specialist. "While normal walking is considered a lower-body activity, power walking is a full-body cardio workout that also engages the core".
She said that power walking tends to be faster than normal walking, but slower than running. For reference, power walking typically averages around 4–5mph.
By doing so, you'll also be working towards achieving important weekly exercise goals for your health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), walking briskly at a pace of at least 3mph qualifies as a moderate-intensity aerobic activity, which it recommends doing for at least 150 minutes per week.
If you're new to power walking and searching for your optimal pace, consider how your body moves at different speeds.
"Unlike a run or jog, at least one foot must always stay in contact with the ground in a power walk", said Marissa Miller, an ACE-certified personal trainer. "This, in part, makes power walking a low-impact and knee-friendly alternative to running".
Also, power walking involves becoming more observant of your steps and stride length.
"Power walking aims to tackle more ground in the same amount of time—or the same [distance] in less time", said Miller. "This means you can choose to take steps quicker or bigger steps—whichever works according to your fitness level".
The simplest way to know if you're power walking is by monitoring your heart rate. The CDC states that for moderate-intensity aerobic activity, your heart rate should be between 64 percent and 76 percent of your maximum heart rate, which can be estimated by your age.
In order to find your estimated maximum number of beats per minute, subtract your age from 220. For example, the average 40-year-old's maximum age-related heart rate would be 180 beats per minute. Therefore, that person's target heart rate range for a moderate-intensity aerobic activity would be between 115 and 136 beats per minute.
Proper Power-Walking Techniques
Before heading out for your walk, Miller said to spend a few minutes warming up your muscles.
"Power walking is a lot more taxing on your body than a typical walk, so start by stretching out your calves, groin, spine (meaning spinal extensors) and glutes to help keep them limber, increase your range of motion and avoid injury", she said.

As you take your first step, begin by leading with the heel and then pushing off from the toes when taking the next step with the other foot. Zeleck said that one foot should remain in contact with the ground at all times.
Make sure you keep your head up with your chin parallel to the ground. "Hold your arms at 90 degrees, lightly brushing your side while pumping them up and back as you walk with a relaxed, closed fist", Zeleck said.
Also, engaging your core will encourage good posture, Miller said. "A curve in your back and shoulders will not only tilt your pelvis forwards leading to an inefficient stride, it can also lead to long-term imbalances", she said.
The goal is to walk with the pelvis in a neutral position (where the hips are neither tipping forwards or backwards). A curve in your back and shoulders will tilt your pelvis forwards, also known as an anterior pelvic tilt, which can cause hip, knee and lower back pain. But tucking your tailbone too far back – a posterior pelvic tilt – may cause sciatica. Both incorrect positions can lead to inefficient strides and long-term imbalances.
Now check out some of the top benefits of doing a power-walking workout.
4 Health Benefits of Power Walking
1.Power Walking Can Improve Balance
"Studies have been conducted to look at the effect brisk walking has on postural stability or the ability to maintain or restore a sense of balance. According to research published in a 2016 issue of the journal BMC Women's Health, brisk walking maintained postural stability when the participants' eyes were closed—a result that can have a direct effect on reducing the risk of falls under worse spatial orientation and visibility.
The study tracked 104 women over the age of 50 with a sedentary job. The researchers directed the women to wear a fitness tracker. The participants were then asked to power walk to or from work for a total of 30–35 minutes at least five times per week. At the end of the 10-week trial, the investigators tested the females' postural stability by having them perform 30-second exercises on a special measuring platform with sensors with their eyes open and closed.
According to their findings, brisk walking maintained postural stability when the participants' eyes were closed—a result that can have a direct effect on reducing the risk of falls under worse spatial orientation and visibility.
2.Power Walking May Improve Digestion
An observational one-week study published in a 2020 issue of the journal PLoS One found a possible link between daily walking and a better-functioning gastrointestinal system amongst females.
Scientists from Japan gathered 101 young university students who were dealing with (but not taking medication for) mild cases of irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, and instructed them to wear a pedometer for seven days while tracking their symptoms. Female participants reported significantly lower discomfort, even as they logged more steps.
In fact, it was estimated that walking 9,500 steps a day could lead to a 50 percent reduction in IBS discomfort compared with walking 4,000 daily steps. The authors theorise that walking after eating can stimulate the stomach and intestines, helping to move food through the system at a quicker pace. They also believe that results were only noticed in the women because there were gender differences when it came to symptoms—females were more likely to suffer from bloating and constipation, while males were more likely to deal with diarrhoea.
3.Power Walking Can Lower Blood Pressure
According to a 2018 study published in PeerJ, walking on a regular basis can be beneficial for adults with hypertension or high blood pressure. The study was conducted over a six-month period, during which nearly 300 sedentary men and women were divided into groups (based on their average speed) and given a fluctuating walking workout schedule. The routine started out at a moderate rate (15 to 30 minutes a day) and increased over time (50- to 70-minute sessions at various paces five days a week).
The researchers found a reduction in systolic blood pressure (the pressure caused by the heart contracting and pushing out blood) among all of the adults. The largest reductions were seen in those who began the trial with higher blood pressure readings. Furthermore, an increase in walking speed led to a decrease in other risk factors of cardiovascular disease, including a reduction in body weight and waist circumference.
"Power walking is a stellar form of cardiovascular exercise, which strengthens the heart muscle", Miller said. "A stronger heart pumps blood more efficiently with less effort, leading to less pressure build-up in the arteries".

4.Power Walking May Add More Years to Your Life
Brisk walkers tend to have a longer life expectancy, according to a 10-year study published in a 2019 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
Researchers in the United Kingdom examined the data of more than 474,900 adults (with an average age of 52), which included the volunteers' walking pace, body mass index, waist circumference and body fat percentage. Regardless of their weight, the adults who regularly power walked (at a pace of more than 4mph) were likely to live an estimated 13–24 years more than those who walked slower than 3mph.
Since this was an observational study, the researchers noted that walking pace was simply an indicator of longevity. Regardless of power walking speed, this research suggests that it's generally a good form of exercise, can boost physical fitness and perhaps even tack on a few extra years. Not to mention that it's lower impact than other forms of cardio, such as running, skipping and cross training.
The Bottom Line
Power walking on a regular basis may result in better balance, lower blood pressure, improved digestion and, potentially, a longer lifespan. Consider giving it a go—if your doctor says it's a fit for you.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Internet Explorer is finally headed out to pasture.
As of Wednesday, Microsoft will no longer support the once-dominant browser that legions of web surfers loved to hate — and a few still claim to adore. The 27-year-old application now joins BlackBerry phones, dial-up modems and Palm Pilots in the dustbin of tech history.
IE’s demise was not a surprise. A year ago, Microsoft said that it was putting an end to Internet Explorer on June 15, 2022, pushing users to its Edge browser, which was launched in 2015.
The company made clear then it was time to move on.
“Not only is Microsoft Edge a faster, more secure and more modern browsing experience than Internet Explorer, but it is also able to address a key concern: compatibility for older, legacy websites and applications,” Sean Lyndersay, general manager of Microsoft Edge Enterprise, wrote in a May 2021 blog post.
Users marked Explorer’s passing on Twitter, with some referring to it as a “bug-ridden, insecure POS” or the “top browser for installing other browsers.” For others it was a moment for 90′s nostalgia memes, while The Wall Street Journal quoted a 22-year-old who was sad to see IE go.
Microsoft released the first version of Internet Explorer in 1995, the antediluvian era of web surfing dominated by the first widely popular browser, Netscape Navigator. Its launch signaled the beginning of the end of Navigator: Microsoft went on to tie IE and its ubiquitous Windows operating system together so tightly that many people simply used it by default instead of Navigator.
The Justice Department sued Microsoft in 1997, saying it violated an earlier consent decree by requiring computer makers to use its browser as a condition of using Windows. It eventually agreed to settle the antitrust battle in 2002 over its use of its Windows monopoly to squash competitors. It also tangled with European regulators who said that tying Internet Explorer to Windows gave it an unfair advantage over rivals such as Mozilla’s Firefox, Opera and Google’s Chrome.
Users, meanwhile, complained that IE was slow, prone to crashing and vulnerable to hacks. IE’s market share, which in the early 2000s was over 90%, began to fade as users found more appealing alternatives.
Today, the Chrome browser dominates with roughly a 65% share of the worldwide browser market, followed by Apple’s Safari with 19%, according to internet analytics company Statcounter. IE’s heir, Edge, lags with about 4%, just ahead of Firefox. | https://fox2now.com/news/national/so-long-internet-explorer-the-browser-is-finally-retiring/ | 2022-06-15T03:32:19Z | https://fox2now.com/news/national/so-long-internet-explorer-the-browser-is-finally-retiring/ | true | 73 |

BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP)Rory McIlroy had two strong comments about the future of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series in February. So far, one has been proven incorrect.
”Dead in the water,” McIlroy said, referring to all the top players saying they were staying not interested. He had an explanation for that: Players like Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau said in statements they were staying put and ”I took them at their word.”
Earlier in that week, he referred to the startup league as a ”pre-Champions Tour” because so many players were at the tail end of their careers. That much remains largely true – so far. More players could sign up in the coming weeks.
Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, Graeme McDowell and Louis Oosthuizen all can fit that pre-Champions Tour mode. DeChambeau and Patrick Reed? Not so much.
That’s what mystifies the 33-year-old McIlroy.
”A lot of these guys are in their late 40s – in Phil’s case, early 50s,” he said. ”They would say to you themselves that their best days are behind them. That’s why I don’t understand for the guys that are a similar age to me going. Because I would like to believe that my best days are still ahead of me, and I think theirs are, too.
”So that’s where it feels like you’re taking the easy way out.”
NOT SO PERFECT GOLF
Jon Rahm knows as well as anyone how hard it is to win a major, much less a U.S. Open. It was only reviewing highlights of his win last year at Torrey Pines that he realized that great golf and perfect golf are not the same.
It helps to already have one major, so he said that eases a little of the pressure. He feels he can enjoy the U.S. Open a little more knowing he doesn’t have to do anything special.
”It’s easy to think you need to be playing perfect golf,” Rahm said. ”And I remember watching my highlights of Sunday last year, and I thought I played one of the best rounds of my life. And I kept thinking, `I cannot believe how many fairway bunkers I hit that day, how many greens I missed, and how many putts I missed.’
”It’s golf, and that’s how it is,” he said. ”You truly don’t have to play perfect, and that’s I think the best lesson I can take from that.”
BROOKLINE MEMORIES
Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk and Sergio Garcia are the only players at the U.S. Open who played in the 1999 Ryder Cup. Those aren’t the only players making a return to The Country Club.
Four players who reached the quarterfinals of the 2013 U.S. Amateur also made it into the U.S. Open at Brookline. That starts with Matt Fitzpatrick, the winner. It also includes Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, Corey Conners of Canada and Brandon Matthews.
Scheffler had an amazing run. He needed 20 holes to beat Stewart Jolly in the first round, 20 holes to beat Brandon Hagy in the second round and he beat Matthias Schwab on the 18th hole to reach the quarterfinals. He lost to Brady Watt, 2 and 1.
”I remember being down in pretty much all my matches and coming back,” Scheffler said. ”On the three that I won, I came back late on all of them. I think I made a big putt against maybe Brandon Hagy – may have been Brandon – on 17. I have good memories of this place.”
QUALIFYING BLUES
Collin Morikawa is a two-time major champion at age 25, the No. 7 player in the world who can expect to be exempt in the U.S. Open for years to come.
It wasn’t always that easy.
”Yeah, well, I suck at qualifying. I really do,” Morikawa said Tuesday.
He said he never made it to a U.S. Junior and he can think of only one U.S. Amateur appearance when he was exempt through his amateur ranking. As for the U.S. Open? He went through qualifying three times while at Cal and never came particularly close.
”I decided I hate California – no, I’m kidding,” the California native said.
He missed out by four shots at Lake Merced in San Francisco in 2016 and in 2018. In between, the U.S. Open sectional was in Newport Beach. He missed that by seven shots.
”I just never played well in those events and decided to go to the Ohio one three years ago,” he said. ”Made that. The rest is history.”
He made it through Columbus – known as the PGA Tour qualifier because it has the strongest field and the most spots – without a shot to spare. That was in 2019, and he tied for 35th at Pebble Beach in his second tournament as a pro.
Four starts later, he was a PGA Tour winner. A year later, he was a major champion. Yes, the rest is history.
A CADDIE’S LIFE
Rory McIlroy is back to work with his old caddie for the U.S. Open.
Harry Diamond, a longtime friend and Irish amateur player, has been on McIlroy’s bag the last five years but was home last week as his wife gave birth to their second child. McIlroy had a backup plan – former Irish rugby union player Niall O’Connor – when he won the RBC Canadian Open for his first win this year.
”Niall and I’s run has come to an end at this point,” McIlroy said. ”Pretty good record. Had a fourth in Dubai and a first in Canada. If I ever need someone to jump in for Harry, I’ve got a pretty good substitute there.”
STAT OF THE DAY
Of the six news conferences Tuesday, Scottie Scheffler was the only player who was not asked about the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series.
FINAL WORD
”If you want to be one of the best players in the world, this is the country where you need to play the majority of your golf.” – Rory McIlroy.

DALLAS – The Canadian government is to suspend on June 20 the vaccination mandates for domestic and outbound travel, federally controlled transportation sectors, and federal government employees.
Furthermore, proposed legislation under Part II (Occupational Health and Safety) of the Canada Labour Code to make vaccination mandatory in all federally regulated workplaces is no longer being pursued by the government of Canada.
While the suspension of vaccine mandates signals an improvement in Canada’s public health situation, the COVID-19 virus continues to mutate and spread in Canada and around the world. Given this backdrop, as well as the fact that vaccination rates and virus management in other countries vary greatly, present border vaccination restrictions will continue in place for inbound travel.
The official press release from the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat states that the above will lessen the burden of overseas travel on our healthcare system and provide further protection against future variations. Other public health precautions, such as wearing a mask, remain in effect and will be enforced during a passenger’s flight or rail ride.
Ruling for Travelers, Transportation Workers, Foreign Nationals
- As of 00:01 EDT on June 20, 2022, the vaccination requirement to board a plane or a train in Canada will be suspended.
- In addition, federally regulated transport sector employers will no longer be required to have mandatory vaccination policies in place for employees.
- Current border measures, including the existing vaccination requirement for most foreign nationals to enter Canada, and quarantine and testing requirements for Canadians who have not received their primary vaccine series, remain in effect.
Comments from Government Officials
Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities, said, “Throughout this pandemic, our government’s approach has been rooted in close collaboration with our provincial and territorial partners. We all have a role to play in keeping Canadians safe. Our government will continue to make decisions based on the best public health advice and adjust its measures accordingly.”
Omar Alghabra, Minister of Transport of Canada, said, “The mandatory vaccination requirement successfully mitigated the full impact of COVID-19 for travellers and workers in the transportation sector and provided broader protection to our communities. Suspending this requirement is possible thanks to the tens of millions of Canadians who did the right thing: they stepped up, rolled up their sleeves, and got vaccinated. This action will support Canada’s transportation system as we recover from the pandemic.”

Professional junk collection and disposal is an environmentally friendly initiative

BRUSSELS (AP) — Drug trafficking and use across the European Union are returning to pre-pandemic levels, according to the latest report published by the bloc’s drug agency on Tuesday.
As COVID-19 restrictions and increased border controls have been relaxed on the continent, the EMCDDA said drugs are available in large quantities in the region, and in some cases above pre-pandemic levels.
Hundreds of drug production laboratories are being dismantled, and new psychoactive substances are appearing in the bloc every week. In 2021, 52 new drugs were reported for the first time, the agency said.
“For me, the take-home message that stands out from our analysis of drug trends in 2022 can be summarized as ‘Everywhere. Everything. Everyone,’” said the agency director, Alexis Goosdeel.
About 83.4 million people aged 15-64 in the EU, or 29% of that population, are estimated to have ever used an illicit drug, with more men than women reporting use.
The agency said cannabis remains the most popular substance, with over 22 million people reporting its use in 2021, ahead of cocaine, MDMA and amphetamines. Some 1 million Europeans used heroin or another illicit opioid. An estimated 5,800 overdose deaths occurred in the EU in 2020, the most recent year for which that figure was provided.
The report pointed to an increased use of social media applications and encrypted messaging services to get access to products during the pandemic, a model that is likely to persist.
The agency said last month that record amounts of cocaine are being seized in Europe while manufacturing of the drug is now taking place inside the the EU.
While the agency said it’s too early to assess the impact on heroin trafficking of the return to power of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the agency noted it could lead to an increase. According to the report, poppy cultivation continues in the country despite a ban on production and sale.
“The country’s current financial problems might make drug revenues a more important source of income,” the report said.
The report also looked at the war in Ukraine, noting that the conflict could have consequences for smuggling routes. | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/international/everywhere-everything-everyone-drugs-are-back-in-the-eu/ | 2022-06-15T03:56:29Z | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/international/everywhere-everything-everyone-drugs-are-back-in-the-eu/ | false | 48 |
US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides told the Israel Hayom newspaper, in a special interview which will be published in full on Friday, that Israel could join the US visa waiver program by 2023 if all the conditions are met.
Nides told the newspaper that while much work remains to be done, the US intends to bring Israel into the program by 2023.
The Ambassador said he is working around the clock to make sure that happens, adding that he is cooperating closely with Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked, who he said is focused on the issue.
According to Nides, Israel must take several steps to join the program, including passing certain laws to bring it into compliance with US requirements.
Asked if Shaked's cited February 2023 target date for the US visa waiver was indeed the goal, Nides said that the process should focus on the current calendar year, but that the waiver – if granted – would be implemented in 2023. Nides called the efforts "Herculean" and said that the US was trying to make it easier for Israelis to enter its borders.
The US Ambassador said that the Knesset needed to vote on a few matters of compliance and that the legislative body was working on it. The US, Nides said, was doing its part and hundreds of people had visited Washington as part of the process.
The White House said last August, after a meeting between President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett that Biden emphasized "his administration would strengthen bilateral cooperation with Israel in ways that would benefit both US citizens and Israeli citizens, including by working together towards Israel’s inclusion in the Visa Waiver Program."
In March, Public Security Minister Omer Barlev signed an agreement with the United States to share information on civilians convicted of serious criminal offenses.
On the issue of Iran, Nides told Israel Hayom that the Revolutionary Guards would not be dropped from the US list of terrorist entities and said that Biden's stance on the issue was "uncompromising."
When asked if the US had a plan to stop Iran's nuclear weapons program, Nides said there was "no question" that while Washington still hoped to solve the matter through diplomacy, Biden would not "stand by" and watch the Iranians develop nuclear weapons.
Nides said the US would work very closely with Israel and its allies, and reiterated Biden's assertion that "all options are on the table."
When asked why the US did not issue explicit threats that it would use military force against Iran's nuclear program, which even former President Barack Obama did, Nides said it was not his place as Ambassador to make threats, and repeated that the US would work with Israel and its other regional allies to ensure that Iran did not obtain nuclear weapons. | https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/354913 | 2022-06-15T03:56:56Z | https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/354913 | false | 1 |

GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — Golden Valley Police say two teenage girls, who were simply getting gas, were carjacked by two boys and one of them had a gun.
It happened Monday night at the Speedway off Douglas Drive North around 8:30 p.m.
While police have since recovered the car and arrested one of the suspects, officers are investigating four other recent carjackings around the city.
Police say that's more than what the area has experienced in previous years and, according to a new report from the Star Tribune, crime is up in some suburbs.
The Star Tribune spent four months analyzing data from 2017 to 2021 from 50 Twin Cities police departments in suburbs with more than 10,000 residents.
"I screamed bloody murder," said Sharon McWhite, whose purse was stolen right off her arm last December. "Then like an idiot, I ran after him."
She says it happened in a grocery store parking lot in St. Louis Park.
More recently, police in Golden Valley have been investigating five carjackings they say happened outside a house, a golf course, apartment complex and a gas station.
Police say the suspects in nearly every case were wearing dark ski masks and armed with semi-automatic handguns.
"There was a general notion going around that there was an increase in some suburbs in terms of violent crime," said Star Tribune data journalist Jeff Hargarten. "We really wanted to quantify that."
Hargarten says he also cross referenced the data it received with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the FBI.
He says it found crime started going up in 2020 -- most notably to the north in Crystal, Columbia Heights, Brooklyn Center, Robbinsdale, New Hope and Brooklyn Park.
"You have the unrest, you have the pandemic, you have the deaths of George Floyd, the next year you have the death of Daunte Wright," said Hargarten.
He says the data also shows the metro is a patchwork of public safety trends that ebb and flow every year. Where crime may be up some places, it's also low or unchanged in areas like Chaska, Cottage Grove and Edina.
"The suburbs are not a monolith; these are all very different places and our findings reflect that," said Hargarten.
The Star Tribune also reported that the suburban crime doesn't even compare to Minneapolis and St. Paul -- two cities that experienced a record breaking number of homicides last year.

Cat & Mouse Press is holding a party to celebrate of the sale of its 25,000th book, in conjunction with the summer launch of “Beach Secrets,” the latest book in the Rehoboth Beach Reads series. The party, which is free and open to the public, will feature book sales by Browseabout Books, author signings, imprinted merchandise, refreshments and children’s activities. It will be held at the Lewes Public Library on Saturday, July 9, from 1 to 3 p.m.
“The library is the perfect place to party, because there is free parking and a bus stop for the new Lewes line, which provides transportation into downtown Lewes, to the beaches and to other Lewes locations for just $1,” representatives said. “Participants can easily pop into the party and then make a day of it, with no parking-meter concerns.”
A variety of Cat & Mouse Press books will be available to buy (and for authors to sign). The books, which feature local settings, offer options for summer reading, items to have on hand at a beach house, or gifts for friends and service providers.
Many of the authors whose stories were selected for Beach Secrets will be on hand to sign books and answer questions. The book contains 24 short stories, all set in and around Rehoboth Beach. Readers will meet philandering fiancés, teenage tinkerers and romantic rockstars; discover cryptic letters, historical legends and family secrets; and encounter a World War II submarine, an avenging wife and a lucky chicken. There are even a couple of crossword puzzles to solve.
Cat & Mouse Press author Nancy Powichroski Sherman will be available to sign her “Sandy Shorts” and “More Sandy Shorts” books. Her stories take place in towns from Cape May, N.J., to Chincoteague, Va., and include places such as Rehoboth, Bethany, Lewes, Fenwick Island, Dewey Beach and Ocean City, Md.
Children will get free mermaid stickers and be able to decorate a pirate hat or color a page from the national-award-winning “The Mermaid in Rehoboth Bay.” Other children’s books from Cat & Mouse Press will also be available.
Cat & Mouse Press was established to produce books and other materials that are fun, entertaining, and of particular interest to residents and visitors to the Delmarva region. The company publishes a free weekly newsletter for writers, “Writing is a Shore Thing” (www.writingisashorething.com).

Mekdela Maskal Rediscovers Herself and Reconnects with Her History in the Hills of California
Culture
This climate journalist left her Brooklyn apartment to find more space and a sense of self in Northern California, retracing the contours of her culture and childhood.
Homegrown is a series of narratives from individuals of the Black + African diaspora who are uniquely preserving and honouring their culture and roots through their multifaceted identities and lifestyles.
Mekdela Maskal considers her return to Grass Valley in Northern California a sort of return to her own body as well. Last summer, the interdisciplinary artist and editor packed up her Brooklyn apartment for a calmer pace of life.
The move also brought her back to her childhood roots. Twenty years ago, her father purchased land in Grass Valley, tucked into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, and eventually built a home—an homage to his native Ethiopia and living in tune with nature. Preserving those values across generations and continents, Mekdela and her siblings spent weekends and summers with their father, embracing the outdoors, skiing, practising archery, climbing trees and trailing creeks.
"I honestly do feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be right now … I'm on my way to finding more purpose outside of work in this space than I was able to before".
Today, from this tranquil home base, Mekdela works as an engagement editor on the topic of climate change. While her work focuses on the environment, she's conscious of rebuilding and keeping her own relationship with the land. She is also separately aware of the mental and physical strength that the land provides her with as well as the duty she has to cultivate it.
Through vivid reflections with photography by June Ferreira Canedo de Souza, Mekdela shares how she's rediscovering her connection to the outdoors in Grass Valley, the yearning she felt for it while living in New York that sparked her journey back and how it's ultimately led to strengthening her bond with her Ethiopian heritage.
Leaving the City for the Serene
"I definitely wanted more quiet. Literally, but also to lower the frequency of buzzing that I felt in my body at all times in New York. Just sitting still feels really important for me and I feel less guilty doing that [here] than I did in New York".
"I remember when I first got here, I was feeling like the day was so long. It would feel like two days. I think a lot more about how we can exist and spend time and contribute outside of the frameworks of work more than I have before".
Finding Familiar Paths
Mekdela is no stranger to the Yuba River, which runs north-west of Grass Valley and whose smaller creeks and streams run close to her property. She crouches down on the bulbous grey rocks and wades until there's enough space for her to submerge her body in the river's clear waters.
"I want to take more trips down here because I find that I have almost forgotten the way. There are certain curves that I'm trying to find still".
"I have to tell myself to do less. I find that my body knows more than my mind does".

"I want to take more trips down here because I find that I have almost forgotten the way. There are certain curves that I'm trying to find still".
"I have to tell myself to do less. I find that my body knows more than my mind does".
Traversing Gheralta and Grass Valley
A few years ago, Mekdela and her father climbed the Gheralta Mountains, a remote range in northern Ethiopia, where centuries-old churches were carved into its sandstone cliffs—a testament to the sacredness of these spaces. She frequently recalls crossing the narrow ledges of those mountains as she navigates the much less treacherous terrain in Grass Valley and reflects on the peace she has found in both places.
"If I'm doing physical things, my body will take over and I don't find myself having to think as much about what I need to do. I have to tell myself to do less. I find that my body knows more than my mind does".
Tending the Land, Feeding the Soul
Back in Brooklyn, before she left the city, Mekdela spent a year documenting and supporting the efforts of community gardens in Bedford-Stuyvesant. "I got a lot from that, but I would come home and feel like I couldn't continue that work for myself".
Since moving to the West Coast, Mekdela has started a vegetable garden of her own. Growing food is one of the quickest ways for Mekdela to orient herself and connect with the land.
"I love when the hawks surround me above. It's usually two of them and they'll make circles when I'm lying in either of the hammocks. That's a way of being watched that is so unique. It feels like this freedom in not knowing how I'm seen by any other species. What a beautiful thing. I have no idea what I am to you".
Remembering the Power of Play
"I have this one memory of climbing a really big pine tree at the front of the house. I had climbed up as far as I could. And I remember being able to make out the pilot in this plane that flew overhead and being like, 'I must be really high!'"
"I have memories of just being really playful and feeling very free, which is, I think, the way that my Dad curated our lives here for us".
Discovering Independence and Identity
"I have so much time to reflect on myself … I've never felt lost. That feeling like I'm outside of my body has never happened to me while I've been amongst nature".
"It feels like I'm on my way to finding more purpose outside of work in this space than I was able to before. I honestly do feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be right now".

Highlights
- CCI approved the proposed acquisition of the entire shareholding of AirAsia India by Air India.
- AirAsia India is a joint venture between TSPL and Air Asia Investment Limited (AAIL).
- It is primarily engaged in business of providing domestic scheduled air passenger transport service.
Air India gets CCI approval: Competition Commission of India on Tuesday said it has approved the proposed acquisition of the entire shareholding of AirAsia India Ltd by Air India Ltd. The proposed combination envisages the acquisition of the entire equity share capital of AirAsia (India) Pvt Ltd by Air India Ltd (AIL), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Sons Pvt Ltd (TSPL), a notice issued by the fair trade regulator said.
AirAsia India is a joint venture between TSPL and Air Asia Investment Limited (AAIL), with TSPL presently holding 83.67 per cent and AAIL owning a 16.33 per cent stake. AIL, along with its wholly-owned subsidiary Air India Express Limited (AIXL), is primarily engaged in the business of providing domestic scheduled air passenger transport service, international scheduled air passenger transport service, air cargo transport services, and charter flight services in India.
AirAsia India, which started flying in June 2014, offers scheduled air passenger transport, air cargo transport and charter flight services in the country. It does not have international operations.
In a tweet on Tuesday, the Competition Commission of India said it has approved the acquisition of the entire shareholding in Air Asia India by Air India, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Sons.
Full-service carrier Air India and its low-cost subsidiary Air India Express were acquired by Talace Private Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Sons Private Ltd, last year.
Besides, Tatas operate the full-service airline Vistara in a joint venture with Singapore Airlines. Tatas took over Air India and Air India Express in January this year. In October 2021, Tatas emerged as the winning bidder for loss-making Air India. It offered a bid of Rs 18,000 crore, comprising cash payment of Rs 2,700 crore and taking over the carrier's debt worth Rs 15,300 crore.
Deals beyond a certain threshold require the approval of CCI, which works to foster competition as well as curb anti-competitive practices in the marketplace. | https://www.indiatvnews.com/business/news/air-india-gets-cci-approval-to-acquire-entire-stake-in-airasia-india-2022-06-15-784672 | 2022-06-15T04:20:18Z | https://www.indiatvnews.com/business/news/air-india-gets-cci-approval-to-acquire-entire-stake-in-airasia-india-2022-06-15-784672 | false | 6 |

Residents living near a makeshift traveller campsite claim they were living in fear of dog attacks, thefts and anti-social behaviour before their eviction. Around 22 vehicles were ordered to leave the site off site off Weston Close, in Knutton, by 2pm yesterday (June 14) after an eviction notice was granted at North Staffordshire Justice Centre a day earlier.
Both the police and Environment Agency were on standby as the first caravans started to leave at 1.15pm before the final caravan left at 2.45pm
Now families living nearby have spoken out about the problems they faced over the week-long stay. Among the issues they claim the travellers were responsible for include:
- Aggressive dogs snarling and biting children;
- Electricity being tapped from street lamps;
- Shoplifting from Morrisons in Milehouse where they were allegedly seen walking out with trolley-loads of goods without paying;
- Thefts from gardens;
- Damaging the fields with their vehicles;
- Intimidating locals;
- Rubbish being left strewn over the fields including an abandoned caravan.

One StokeonTrentLive said: "Four children have been bitten by the dogs off this 'camp site', they’ve tapped into street lights for electricity and local children have been threatened just by playing on the park. We won’t even mention all the local people where things have magically disappeared out of their gardens in the last week. How is this fair?"
Another added: "They were coming into Morrisons shoplifting trying to do a trolley dash and then threatening the staff who stopped them. They were also trying to nick kids' clothes. They were in every day doing it."
A mum - who did not want to be named - said she was upset and disheartened to see the state the field has been left in.
She told StokeonTrentLive: “I saw them kick the bin before they left. They mean to make it uncomfortable for us here. They could take the bin with them or put it in a corner but they just kicked it and it spilt the rubbish everywhere. I also saw them ripping the field with their cars.
"There was a lot of them this time and this group seemed different. One of my neighbours saw them cut the lock on the gate to get into the field. They do it without any worry or fear or shame.
"The government has to do something, they’re just chasing them. They give them notice for seven days then they are somewhere else. We are paying for all these spaces.
“They are ruining the space and they have no consequences. The government or council have to be more strict. We are scared of talking to them because they are so many and they might attack us.”
Her neighbour added: “Look at the mess they leave. I don’t know where they do their number twos but it certainly isn’t in their toilets. It’s disgusting. They look like they’ve left that caravan, which now we’ve got to pay for the council to take it away and be kept or destroyed. I bet it stinks inside.”
However, other residents told StokeonTrentLive the travellers were no problem at all and left when ordered to do so.
Will Mckenzie, who’s lived in Knutton since he was born, said: “If you don’t harm them, they don’t harm you. Obviously they broke entrance into the field. That's what they live for, don’t they. They’re usually on the football field, it’s the first time since Covid that they’ve been here.
“They don’t approach us, they just keep themselves to themselves. Sometimes the generators make some noise. If they were out of the way of people’s houses, if they had their own lands and they could live there, I’d be all for it."

Police identify woman found dead in shopping cart near Union Station
Fairfax County, VA. - New details emerged Tuesday in the case of multiple women found dead in shopping carts late last year.
Fairfax County Police used the moniker "Shopping Cart Killer," alleging the suspect – Anthony Robinson – transported the bodies of women he’d killed in a shopping cart.
The Metropolitan Police Department identified a woman found on September 7th of last year near Union Station as 40-year-old Sonya Champ.
Champ’s body was discovered in a shopping cart and under a blanket.
MPD identified Champ and called her death a homicide Tuesday.
MPD has also named Anthony Robinson a person of interest in this case.
Shopping Cart Killer: Who is Anthony Robinson?
Robinson has not been charged in Champ’s death.
The suspect has been charged with murder in Harrisonburg, Virginia in the deaths of two women. He’s currently in custody, waiting for a September hearing on those charges.
Robinson has also been named by Fairfax Police as the primary suspect in the deaths of two women there.
He has not been charged there either, as Fairfax police say the investigation is ongoing.
In January, Fairfax police gave an investigative update and had mentioned they’d spoken with dozens of other departments to see if these cases may be connected.
Download the FOX 5 DC News App for Local Breaking News and Weather
Authorities from Fairfax indicated they’d been in touch with D.C. police about the case, which we now know as the death of Sonya Champ.
Fairfax police say they’re still working on their case.
D.C. police are offering a reward for more information on the death of Sonya Champ.
Both departments have been communication with many local law enforcement agencies to solve the crimes.
When previously reached for comment, an attorney for Robinson in Harrisonburg declined to comment on the nature of the charges against Robinson.
FOX 5 reached out to Robinson’s attorney late Tuesday about being named a person of interest in Champ’s murder and we haven’t heard back.
We will update this article if we receive a response. | https://www.fox5dc.com/news/police-identify-woman-found-dead-in-shopping-cart-near-union-station | 2022-06-15T04:35:02Z | https://www.fox5dc.com/news/police-identify-woman-found-dead-in-shopping-cart-near-union-station | true | 1 |

Neeraj Chopra breaks own national record with 89.30m Javelin throw
Updated on: 24 minutes ago
New Delhi: India's Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra set a new national record and finished with a silver medal with a throw of 89.30 metres at the Paavo Nurmi Games in Finland, bettering his own previous national record of 88.07 meters which he had set in Patiala in March last year.
This was Chopra's first outing in an International competition since his historic Gold medal winning throw of 87.58 meters at the Tokyo Olympics on August 7, 2021. The 89.30 meters throw saw him finish second on the podium at the Paavo Nurmi Games behind the Finnish favourite Oliver Helander, who achieved a personal best of 89.93 meters.
Meanwhile, Grenada's world champion Anderson Peters finished third with a throw of 86.60 meters. Chopra's first competitive event after ten months turned out to be a historical moment as the athlete nearly touched the coveted 90 meters mark; which is considered the gold standard in the world of javelin throw.

With an opening throw of 86.92 meters, Chopra's next throw was a mammoth 89.30 meters. Although his next three attempts were fouls, he came up with two throws of 85.85 meters on his sixth and final attempts. Meanwhile, Chopra's 89.30 meters Javelin throw has taken him to the fifth spot on the world season leaders' list.
The Paavo Nurmi Games, a gold event in the World Athletics Continental Tour, is one of the biggest track-and-field competitions outside the Diamond League. After scripting history at the Paavo Nurmi Games in Finland, Neeraj Chopra will next compete at the Kuortane Games in Finland before heading to Sweden for the Stockholm leg of the Diamond League.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Former President Donald Trump has gone 1-for-2 in his endorsements of challengers to incumbent members of Congress from South Carolina.
Rep. Tom Rice, one of just 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump after the Capitol riot, has been defeated in a GOP primary by a Trump-backed challenger.
According to a race call by The Associated Press, South Carolina state Rep. Russell Fry, who had Trump's endorsement, easily topped Rice, a five-term U.S. representative, giving Fry the 7th District's Republican nomination.
In the 1st District, meanwhile, GOP Rep. Nancy Mace bested her Trump-supported challenger, according to the AP.
Fry easily defeats Rice
In South Carolina, a candidate needs to get more than 50% of the vote to avoid a runoff. At the time of the AP's race call, Fry had 51.1%. Rice was at 24.6%.
Rice had refused to back down to the tirades of a former president and from his conviction that Trump is to blame for the Capitol attack.
He told NPR in February, "If we're going to have a scenario where the president can try to intimidate Congress ... we might as well have a monarchy."
Rice even doubled down and said he regretted not voting to certify the presidential election in favor of Joe Biden. That angered many voters and inspired a slew of GOP candidates, including Fry, who wanted to take Rice down. The challengers said he had betrayed the conservative district and the former president.
Trump, meantime, has called the longtime congressman a "coward" and someone "no one trusts." He even gathered supporters in March for a rally in the district Rice represents to deliver a punishing speech and again endorse Fry.
In his campaign, Rice had reminded constituents he voted with Trump more than 90% of the time and helped the former president draft the 2017 GOP tax cut bill.
Fry will face Democrat Daryl Scott in November in the strongly Republican 7th.
Mace wins in the 1st District
Mace, on the other hand, defeated former Rep. Katie Arrington outright in the 1st Congressional District Republican primary. Trump had endorsed Arrington.
At the time of the AP's race call, Mace was above the runoff threshold, at 53%.
Mace angered Trump by criticizing him in the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol — though she later walked back her critical comments and — unlike Rice — didn't vote to impeach him.
Mace, the first woman to graduate from The Citadel, had the backing of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, a onetime U.N. ambassador in Trump's administration.
She'll next face Annie Andrews, who was unopposed in the Democratic primary.

Chicago dad faces 3 murder charges in kids’ drowning deaths
ROUND LAKE BEACH, Ill. (AP) - Police say a north suburban Chicago man has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the drowning deaths of his three young children.
Round Lake Beach Police Chief Gilbert said at a news conference Tuesday that 35-year-old Jason E. Karels was arrested after leading police on a chase Monday that ended in a crash at an Interstate 80 bridge in Joliet. He says Karels was hospitalized after the crash.
Chief Deputy Coroner Steve Newton of the Lake County Coroner’s Office says preliminary autopsy results show 5-year-old Bryant Karels, 3-year-old Cassidy Karels and 2-year-old Gideon Karels all died as a result of drowning.
Rivera says the children’s mother asked police to perform a well-being check at Karels’ home on Monday afternoon. The parents shared custody of the children but did not live together.
After the crash in Joliet, Karels told first responders he was responsible for the deaths of his children and had attempted to kill himself before fleeing the home, Rivera said. Officers found the man’s blood in the house from his attempts to hurt himself, Rivera said.
Karels has since been released from the hospital and taken to jail, according to a late Tuesday press release from the police department.
He is expected in court Wednesday morning.

How often do we hear someone say that they are really busy? Every time I think about my daily to do list, I know that compared to Johann Sebastian Bach, I'm not busy at all.
A visit to Leipzig, Germany is a real eye-opener on how Bach must be one of the best time management people of all time. In the Bach House Museum, his daily schedule is a lesson on how to juggle multiple responsibilities. Not only did Johann Sebastian have an important position which made him responsible for music in several churches, he composed a cantata every week, had numerous private pupils, played for weddings, funerals and other special occasions and somehow managed to participate in regular coffee house concerts for fun. Besides his professional duties, Bach had 20 children, several of whom became very successful professional musicians themselves. In fact, this busy father managed to include musical training and composing for his own family into what must have been extremely busy days.
Among the documents at the Bach House Museum is a description that compares this household to a nest of swallows because everyone was swooping in and out at all times of the day. Without technology, electricity, running water or modern transportation, the Bach family could give us many lessons on how to use our time wisely and well!

Ghanaian defender Baba Rahman is reportedly weighing up his future after the end of his loan spell at Reading FC.
The Chelsea defender, who spent the 2021/22 season with Royals in the Championship, has two years to run on his contract at Stamford Bridge but has hardly played for the Blues.
The 27-year-old has had numerous spells out on loan and managed to play just 23 games in a Chelsea shirt since joining the club in 2015.

Rahman was a popular figure at Reading and a number of fans are keen for him to return for next season. However, despite some speculation suggesting he is being considered for 2022/23, it is understood there has been no contact with the Blues about a return for Rahman.
The left-back is currently away on international duty with his country. According to GhanaSoccerNet, he is 'weighing up options and could finally leave Chelsea in the summer transfer window.'
The report adds 'several clubs' are interested in his services and he will decide his future in the coming days.
Reading's Championship rivals Middlesbrough have been touted as a possible destination for the former Augsburg player, who has had loan spells with Schalke, Reims, Mallorca and PAOK Salonika (as well as Reading) while on Chelsea's books.
Rahman played 29 times for Royals this past season and contributed one assist.
Reading are after a left-back for the new season as there is currently no senior player in this position under contract at the club. Centre-back Tom McIntyre can fill in there, while youngster Imari Samuels - who has been offered a new contract for next season - is another option providing he signs on the dotted line.
Paul Ince's players return for pre-season at Bearwood next week.

Regulators in Washington, D.C., don’t seem to want the people of Arizona to keep their lights on.
When I represented the Grand Canyon State in the U.S. Congress, the so-called “environmental movement” was certainly extreme. But now, it’s gotten to a point where the “powers that be” seemingly don’t even want us to be able to power our homes.
Last month, power companies across Arizona warned regulators that blackouts might soon be on the horizon. Among the factors to blame for the state’s shortage of energy: wildfires, droughts and a lack of new power plants in-state.
What’s Washington, D.C.’s “solution” to this crisis? To ignore it and make it worse in the name of “climate justice,” of course.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) recently attempted to pass a rule that would have made it impossible or nearly impossible for anyone to create a new natural gas pipeline in Arizona or anywhere else.
The rule’s new climate change threshold would have made it mandatory to disclose the amount of natural gases emitted at every step of the pipeline production process. This is an unreasonable request that would have effectively stopped all new natural gas production in the United States.
FERC knows this but doesn’t seem to care. In fact, to FERC and the rest of the “climate warriors” inside the Beltway, an end to new natural gas production isn’t regarded as bad news, but good news. It means more energy is conserved in the name of “climate justice.”
These Washington know-it-alls just don’t get it. Cocooned in their well-appointed offices and expensive townhomes, they do not understand the struggles and stresses faced by the people of Arizona. But academic observers, industry professionals and other experts confirm that Arizona has a real risk of facing blackouts in the coming years.
And that’s the underlying problem with this radical leftist environmental movement — it’s orchestrated by elitists who are oblivious to (and won’t have to live with) the consequences of their choices. Their actions are reckless, irresponsible, and need to end.
Sharp concern expressed by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia), who chairs the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, caused the gun-shy members of the FERC commission to move this disastrous anti-natural gas rule back into draft form. But they can resurrect it at any time. That’s why Arizona’s senators, Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly, should get involved.
Kelly serves on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, which oversees FERC. He is uniquely positioned to express the concerns shared across the state of Arizona and work closely with Chairman Manchin to stop the efforts that would put natural gas on the “back burner.”
It has been said that “good policy makes for good politics,” and Kelly has the chance to learn that first-hand. While the National Republican Senate Committee is running ads that claim our freshman senator votes with Joe Biden 97 percent of the time, here is the golden opportunity for Kelly to “make his mark” and stand up for the home folks.
Likewise, the Senate’s reputation as the “world’s most exclusive club,” affords Sinema the opportunity to appeal directly to Chairman Manchin and make the case for Arizona as our senior senator. Despite our many disagreements, it has been made clear to me by business and community leaders in our state that Sinema has gone out of her way to ensure that she always takes into account the concerns of the people back home. While laudably supporting clean energy production, clean energy tax credits, and other sensible measures, she has, in the past, stood up for Arizona’s right to create the energy future it wants for itself.
As an unsuccessful Senate candidate in 2010, and an Arizona resident, I have more than a casual interest in following developments that affect my home state. Whatever my disagreements with our two Democratic senators, they pale beside our urgent need to protect the availability of electric power in the place we call home.
Our two senators will need to stand in the breach to ensure that FERC stands by its self-professed highest priority of “helping assure the public receives affordable and reliable electric and natural gas service” by killing its proposed natural gas rule. Whether Arizona can keep the lights on in coming years will depend on it.

Hayworth represented Arizona in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995 until 2007. | https://azcapitoltimes.com/news/2022/06/14/arizonas-senators-should-stop-energy-blackouts-back-home/ | 2022-06-15T05:00:49Z | https://azcapitoltimes.com/news/2022/06/14/arizonas-senators-should-stop-energy-blackouts-back-home/ | true | 1 |

Harrisburg, Pa. — A coalition of Pennsylvania lawmakers and activists recently gathered on the Capitol rotunda steps with one mission in mind: passing a law separating sports teams by sex.
Legislation titled the Protect Women’s Sports Act would ban transgender girls and women, in grade school through college, from participating on the team that corresponds to their gender. It also would prohibit organizations like the National Collegiate Athletic Association from investigating or taking action against schools for following the law.
“Over the past half-century, we have fought to protect athletic opportunities for female students,” state Sen. Judy Ward (R., Blair), one of the main sponsors of the legislation, said at a rally in early June. “And now these opportunities are in jeopardy.”
During the event, speakers misgendered transgender athletes and called Lia Thomas — a former University of Pennsylvania swimmer who won a national championship — by her birth name, a practice known as deadnaming. Some speakers argued against the very existence of transgender people while claiming they pose a threat to women’s sports.
The two bills under consideration in Pennsylvania — HB 972 introduced by state Rep. Barbara Gleim (R., Cumberland) and SB 1181 from Ward and state Sen. Kristin Phillips-Hill (R., York) — contain some of the same language as a law passed in Idaho that is being challenged as unconstitutional.
A lawmaker there wrote the legislation with the Alliance Defending Freedom, a legal advocacy organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated a hate group.
Supporters of the legislation argue that transgender women have an unfair physical advantage when competing in women’s sports. But experts who study the performance of transgender athletes said a blanket ban like the one proposed in Pennsylvania is “anti-evidence.”
In grade school, such a ban would be exclusionary and unnecessary, they said, noting that — especially at the youth level — sports are inherently unfair. During adolescence, children develop at different paces and may have different advantages based on genetics and access to training.
Some restrictions make sense for adult athletes, the experts said, while also noting that research on the effects of gender-affirming hormone therapy over time shows it can negate some of the physical advantages of male puberty.
Both the state House and Senate bills have passed their respective chambers and are awaiting further consideration. Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf has vowed to veto the legislation if it reaches his desk.
But Wolf’s time in office is coming to an end, as he is term-limited from seeking reelection this November.
State Attorney General Josh Shapiro, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate, has backed Wolf and called such legislation “cruel.” Republican nominee for governor Doug Mastriano, a state senator from Franklin County, co-sponsored the legislation.
“We are in a day when good is called evil and evil is called good,” Mastriano said recently on the state Senate floor before the chamber passed Ward and Phillips-Hill’s bill in a near-party-line vote. “There’s nothing right about this here.”
The legislation’s progress in Pennsylvania comes amid a surge in attacks against the LGBTQIA+ community nationwide.
Texas has ordered the investigation of parents who seek gender-affirming care for their transgender children and equated the act with abuse, while at least 14 other states have restricted or banned access to gender-affirming health care for youth. In legislation nicknamed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by opponents, Florida has banned early elementary teachers from mentioning anything related to sexual orientation or gender identity.
Two Pennsylvania state senators — Lancaster County Republicans Ryan Aument and Scott Martin — want the commonwealth to follow suit. Their bill would ban classroom instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation in elementary schools and ban schools from withholding information, such as a student’s gender identity or sexual orientation, from a student’s parents, except in certain circumstances. Central Bucks School District and Pennridge School District have already adopted similar district-level policies.
These efforts targeting queer and transgender people and allies are having a damaging and potentially deadly effect on LGBTQIA+ youth.
In a recently released report, the Trevor Project, an LGBTQIA+ suicide prevention nonprofit, found that 83% of transgender and nonbinary respondents are worried about transgender sports bills, and almost three-quarters face discrimination because of their gender identity. Research has found that transgender youth are three times more likely to report depression and suicide attempts than their cisgender peers, and legislation like the sports bills can worsen the situation.
“Trans girls are as equally deserving of these opportunities as their cisgender peers,” Preston Heldibridle, the executive director of LGBTQIA+ advocacy organization the Pennsylvania Youth Congress, said earlier this year. “They do not deserve to be routinely and pointlessly scapegoated by adult politicians during primary election season.”
An ‘anti-evidence’ ban
In testimony before the state House Education Committee in March, Gleim said that allowing transgender women and girls to compete in women’s and girl’s sports “reverses nearly 50 years of advancement for women,” citing biological differences between men and women.
Experts in the performance of transgender athletes don’t dispute the advantages that people who have gone through male puberty experience, but said focusing on those details oversimplify the issue.
Pre-puberty, boys and girls have similar athletic abilities. Joanna Harper — a transgender runner, a doctoral student at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom, and a leading researcher in transgender athletic performance — called the idea of keeping transgender girls out of girls sports before puberty “ridiculous” in an interview with Spotlight PA.
In high school, there is already a variation in height, body shape, size, and strength between cisgender athletes, according to Christina Roberts, head of Mercy Children Kansas City’s adolescent medicine department. Hormone therapy can “wipe out” advantages outside the normal range of cisgender girls’ abilities, she said.
Transgender children can also begin gender-affirming care before puberty. The use of pubertal blockers prevents individuals from going through puberty, meaning they won’t have the potential advantages of the chemical and physical changes that puberty causes. In people assigned male at birth, those edges include higher testosterone levels, greater strength, and increased height.
Both bills under consideration in Pennsylvania would put a transgender girl who never went through male puberty at a disadvantage against cisgender athletes on a boy’s high school team.
“XY genetics don’t matter much if you’ve never had testosterone,” Roberts said.
Harper and Roberts told Spotlight PA that some restrictions make sense at the collegiate and Olympic levels, depending on the sport.
Though there’s not a lot of research on the topic yet, they said existing studies suggest that two or more years of hormone therapy for transgender women who have gone through puberty can negate some advantages, such as endurance, and cause reductions in others, such as strength.
Performance in athletics isn’t determined just by physical attributes. Mental health, quality of sleep, coaching, skills, and diet all play a role in how an athlete performs.
Harper has found that advantages in height, strength, and size can remain for athletes after two years, but that doesn’t always translate to a performance advantage across the board because each sport requires a different skillset. Hormone therapy can actually take a toll in endurance sports, but may not affect strength-based sports as much.
“Their larger frames are now being powered by reduced muscle mass, reduced aerobic capacity that can lead to disadvantages in things like endurance recovery and quickness,” she said.
Roberts believes that the rules at the National Collegiate Athletic Association and professional level should be determined from sport to sport, since hormone therapy can be enough to take away advantages in endurance sports, such as running and swimming.
The NCAA recently changed its policy to allow for individual sport-by-sport rules with a focus on inclusivity. In 2021, the International Olympic Committee also issued new inclusivity-focused guidelines due to the lack of available research, delegating rules to individual sports commissions, a shift away from previous testosterone testing requirements.
Harper disagrees with the new rule, saying the IOC dismissed the 30 experts it consulted, and warning that the policy is already having the opposite effect — sports committees have started to enact more restrictive rules than necessary.
Out transgender athletes participated in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, but they didn’t dominate the competition. Laurel Hubbard, a transgender weightlifter from New Zealand who was the center of controversy because she transitioned later in life, didn’t complete any of her lifts and didn’t qualify for a medal.
“Eleven years after trans women were first allowed in, they’re not dominating women’s sports; they’re still hugely underrepresented,” Harper said. “And I think that’s an indication that whatever advantages trans women have, there are numerous disadvantages as well.”
A ‘convenient target’
Supporters of legislation banning transgender girls and women from sports teams that align with their gender frame it as a civil rights issue and an effort to maintain the protections of Title IX, which banned sex-based discrimination in programs that receive federal funding.
Some go even further and espouse the belief rooted in eugenics that transgender people are a threat to society and shouldn’t exist.
“These lies are devastatingly harmful to the transgender children themselves,” a parent of a student-athlete who did not give her name said at the Capitol recent rally. “It’s harmful to tell a child they can be something they’re not.”
Opponents of the legislation said it not only harms transgender youth, but it could also promote discrimination against cisgender women who, as one student-athlete put it, “don’t fit in to the expected mold.”
Bills in other states include guidance on what to do if someone disputes an athlete’s sex. Advocates fear that any girl, trans or cisgender, who doesn’t look “girly” enough will be forced to go through invasive procedures such as genital examinations in order to play sports.
Pennsylvania’s legislation doesn’t specify how to determine an athlete’s sex, only that the distinction is required.
But athletes worry the scope of such bills could widen to affect all girls. “Trans children happen to be a convenient target at the moment,” Olivia Heim, a cisgender athlete from Hempfield High School, said at a Pennsylvania Youth Congress news conference in March, “but any girls who don’t fit the expected mold face the sting of being targeted.”
Heim said she didn’t fit stereotypical views of what a girl should be growing up. She was bullied and said it kept her from joining sports teams when she was in elementary school.
“Despite my clear love of the games,” she said, “I never felt like I would have a place on any team, even though I was a cisgender female.”
Opponents of the legislation also said lawmakers should focus on actual inequities between girls and boys teams. Despite Title IX, many girls teams still struggle with unequal funding, training, and other issues.
Kelsea Dague, a student-athlete from Hempfield, said in a letter to a state House committee that the men’s lacrosse team at her school had access to larger facilities and didn’t have to pay for their equipment. Members of the women’s team, meanwhile, have to provide their own protective gear.
“Fairness in athletics should be about expanding the opportunities for women’s athletic programs to increase the level of participation and create more opportunities,” Dague wrote, “not reducing opportunities for women to play women’s sports.”

A local Des Moines group will sponsor the first-ever Waterland Pride Festival on Saturday, June 25, 2022, joining a growing list of cities in South King County recognizing their LBGTQIA+ citizens.
In partnership with local organizations and businesses, Waterland Pride will kick off June 25 with a Rainbow Run, in conjunction with Des Moines Parkrun, held each Saturday at 9 a.m. at Des Moines Beach Park.
Following the run, participants can head to the DeNevea Designs booth at the Waterfront Farmers Market in the Des Moines Marina to pick up Pride T-shirts and flags and shop the market.
Revelers will then toast the inaugural Waterland Pride events at the Quarterdeck in the Marina at 11 a.m.
The evening starts with a special event beginning at 5 p.m. at Dat Creole Soul, 22341 Marine View Drive S (in the alley). The restaurant and bar are 21-and-older establishments.
June is recognized internationally as Pride month, commemorating the Stonewall Uprising that occurred June 28, 1969, in New York City. NYC Police raided the predominately gay Stonewall Inn bar in typical harassment of the queer community. But what was atypical is that the patrons fought back and ignited the modern LGBTQIA+ civil rights movement.
The Waterland Pride Organizing Committee came together this year to acknowledge the continued struggle for equality and to celebrate LGBTQIA+ contributions to the local community.
One of the Waterland Pride Committee founding members, a woman of biracial heritage and a local Des Moines resident emphasized that the committee consists of LGBTQIA+, straight, and multiethnic community members.
“It’s important that we ALL recognize the struggle for equality and celebrate everyone’s contributions,” she said.
Even in its first year, the Waterland Pride Organizing Committee has developed an impressive sponsorship list, including The Des Moines Legacy Foundation, John L. Scott agent Saundra Mock, Harper Studios, Salon Michelle, The Quarterdeck, Marina Mercantile, All Points Yarn, DeNevea Designs, Dat Creole Soul, John L. Scott Des Moines, and Des Moines ParkRun.
Schedule:
Saturday, June 25:
-
- 9 a.m.: Rainbow Run at Des Moines Creek Trail – All ages and family friendly
- 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.: Waterfront Pride at DeNevea Designs booth at the Des Moines Waterfront Farmers Market in the Marina/
- 5 p.m.: A Bite Out at Dat Creole Soul (22341 Marine View Drive S.) – An age 21+ event.

China May property sales fall at slower pace as policies buoy demand
BEIJING, June 15 (Reuters) - China's May property sales fell at a slower pace for the first time in three months, suggesting improved buyer sentiment in the sector after several easing measures taken by cities across the country to boost demand hit by COVID-19 curbs.
Property sales by floor area in May slumped 31.8% from a year earlier, narrowing from the 39.0% fall in April, according to Reuters calculations based on data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Wednesday.
The market shows some positive developments despite the downward trend, said Fu Linghui, a spokesman at the statistics bureau, said at a news conference on Wednesday.
Shares of developers listed in mainland China surged, with the CSI 300 Real Estate Index up more than 5%.
Since the beginning of the year, around 200 cities took easing steps mainly targeting home buyers, including smaller down payments, subsidies and relaxation on purchases for household with more than one child.
The property sector, a pillar of growth for China, fell sharply last year and deteriorated further in recent months as the world's second-biggest economy weakened. For January to May, property sales were down 23.6%.
"Although the rate of decline was lower compared to last month, the market remained sluggish," partly due to COVID outbreaks, said Zhang Dawei, chief analyst at property agency Centaline.
Credit demand remains weak. Household loans, including mortgages, increased 288.8 billion yuan ($42.94 billion) in May from April, versus a rise of 623.2 billion yuan in the same period last year, central bank data showed.
To boost home purchases, China last month cut its benchmark rate for mortgages, one week after it lowered the mortgage rate floor for first-time home buyers.
China's financial regulators pledged last month to keep credit growth stable in the property sector and help home buyers affected by COVID-19 outbreaks to defer their mortgage payments.
Financing conditions remained challenging for developers, which have been constrained by borrowing limits imposed by authorities in the summer of 2020 to curb a debt build-up in the sector.
Funds raised by developers last month fell 33.39%, narrowing from the 35.54% drop in April.
Property investment dropped 7.8%, narrowing from the 10.1% decline in April.
In May, new construction starts measured by floor area declined 41.85%, slowing from the 44.19% slump in April.

SAN FRANCISCO — The wear and tear from back-to-back seven-game series seems to be taking its toll on the Boston Celtics at the worst possible time.
Tired legs have led to shots falling short down the stretch in back-to-back losses that have left the Celtics on the brink of elimination heading into Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night in Boston.
The Celtics missed 11 of 15 shots in the fourth quarter of a 104-94 loss to the Golden State Warriors in Game 5 on Monday night.
“I had a couple shots that were short,” star Jayson Tatum said. “I just got to not fade as much. Use my legs. You’re going to be a little more tired in the fourth than you are in the first quarter. You got to get your legs a little more under you on a couple of those shots. Give yourself a chance.”
The Celtics are the 12th team in NBA history to win Game 7s in back-to-back series before the finals, with nine of the previous 11 losing their next series.

The latest loss mirrored the 107-97 defeat in Game 4 when the Celtics shot 30.8% in the final quarter, with Tatum missing four of five shots in both games and missing two free throws on Monday night.
“Part of that could be fatigue,” coach Ime Udoka said. “Expended a lot. Obviously, him playing 44 minutes, he was one of our main guys rolling. When he got it going in the third, we rolled him a little bit longer there. The bench production wasn’t as sharp as usual, so we ran Jayson longer. Some of that fatigue and decision making could play a part in the fourth quarter.”
The Celtics have had to ride Tatum hard this postseason after sweeping Brooklyn in the first round. Boston then needed seven games to beat Milwaukee in the second round, including a road win in Game 6, and seven against Miami in the Eastern Conference finals capped by a Game 7 road win.
That has led to Tatum playing 943 minutes already this postseason, the most for a player since LeBron James played 960 in 2013 for Miami.
“That probably has something to do with the misses,” Udoka said. “Not only free throws but some of his 3-pointers being off a bit.”
Tatum isn’t alone in struggling in the fourth quarter. Running mate Jaylen Brown went just 1 for 4 in the fourth quarter Monday with both stars playing more than 44 minutes.
“I wanted to be on the floor,” Brown said. “Ime trusted me to be out there. Over the course of the game, we made some good plays. We were in it. I felt like we just couldn’t get over the hump.”
Now the Celtics will try to change their fortunes back home in Game 6 on Thursday night.
If the Celtics do manage to pull off the comeback and become the 10th team to overcome a 3-2 finals deficit and the fifth to do it without both games at home, it would cap a historic playoff run.
Only one team has ever won three Game 7s in a single postseason, with the Lakers doing it in 1988, beating Utah, Dallas and Detroit at home on the way to a repeat title.
Boston would have to do it by winning two Game 7s on the road, something that has never been done in a single postseason.
“You better be confident, right?” Tatum said. “We ain’t got to win two in one day. We just got to win one game on Thursday. We’ve been in this situation before. So it’s not over. Got to win on Thursday. That’s all we got to worry about right now.” | https://magicvalley.com/grueling-playoffs-take-toll-on-celtics-in-nba-finals/article_2a622f44-ec4d-11ec-9036-57f27ffc3f4f.html | 2022-06-15T05:11:28Z | https://magicvalley.com/grueling-playoffs-take-toll-on-celtics-in-nba-finals/article_2a622f44-ec4d-11ec-9036-57f27ffc3f4f.html | false | 37 |
Family Roots Pushed Amira to Redefine Her Future
Culture
How the 23-year-old athlete and model chased her education and big-city dreams to become a first-generation university graduate.
"I Am First" is a series elevating people who are breaking new ground in sport and life.
"When people ask me where I'm from, I say, 'Bumblef*ck, Nowhere'". More specifically, Amira Natanne is talking—and joking, to a degree—about Lutcher, Louisiana, a small industrial town between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. "You have to leave the motorway to get to it", the 23-year-old model and recent university grad says. "You have a high chance of knowing everyone or being related to everyone".
It may be a small town, but Lutcher is the foundation for Amira's determination to seek out a bigger world. She's a first-generation university graduate. Her degree—and life in New York City—are part of a dream realised by leaving Lutcher to pursue higher education in bioethics, and now, other career opportunities. Sitting in her apartment, 1,500 miles away in Bushwick, Brooklyn, she reflects on how far she has come.
Amira's roots run deep and wide in Lutcher. Her great-grandfather founded and operated the first and, for a while, only paramedic service in that part of the county. Growing up, once someone learnt her last name, it was not uncommon to hear stories about how her great-grandfather had saved their relative's life. "We're 45 minutes away from a city either way, so it was my family taking care of that entire area", she says.
Her extended family were instrumental in shaping her upbringing. "You were raised by whoever was in the room at the time", she recalls. And those in the room always pushed her to create and determine her own path. "I was never told, 'Oh, you're a girl. You can't do this'", Amira says. "It was more like, 'You'd better go get in line and do whatever to take care of yourself. Don't allow people's opinions to affect your overall outcome'".
"I was never told, 'Oh, you're a girl. You can't do this'. It was more like, 'You'd better go get in line and do whatever to take care of yourself'".
So, Amira decided she'd get in line for more. "I knew I didn't want to live [in Lutcher] permanently", she says. "It's a place where you go to high school, you marry your high-school sweetheart, you guys move in together, have kids, he works at the plant and you're buying a house at 22".
Instead, Amira set her sights on New York and university. For four years, she immersed herself in as much as she could, participating in almost every extracurricular activity Lutcher High School had to offer, including rifle club, pole vaulting, numerous honour societies and the powerlifting team. "Loved powerlifting", she remembers. "I absolutely loved it. I was not good at it, but the team itself was really, really great. They're like 10-time state champions. There were some greats. I was not one of them, but I contributed where I could".
After sending out dozens of university applications and
getting an acceptance letter from New York University in 2015, Amira caught a flight from Louisiana to NYC to start a new chapter, along with other classmates.
"A lot of people that I met were first generation", she says, "which I think was comforting to know and made it a little bit easier".
Leaving Lutcher opened up many new experiences. For example, she has signed with a modelling agency and has appeared on runways at New York Fashion Week and in a handful of advertising campaigns. Her move has also reawakened Amira's early desires to see the world. "It showed me that I'm capable of doing things", she says. "I've learnt that I'm independent, street smart, charismatic when I need to be, and firm when I need to be". In fact, she has already knocked out solo trips to far-flung destinations like Indonesia, Mexico and the UK with ease.
Now, Amira is figuring out her next moves and how to be intentional about her life, including her relationship with sports. Although she misses being a part of organised sports teams at times, her movement practice helps keep her grounded. She does some weightlifting at home, takes long walks and is about to start a 30-day yoga challenge. And, despite her self-proclaimed impatience, she is trying to incorporate meditation.
Inspired by her grandfather, her university coursework explored internal medicine and its impact on the marginalised bodies at the intersection of gender and race. She is passionate about reversing the high mortality rates for Black women during childbirth and has been thinking of channelling that energy by pursuing a doula certification to support mothers before, during and after giving birth. It's an area of importance that also hits home for her. "My mum has had five kids, and she's had four C-sections", Amira says.
The New York transplant believes her curiosity and relentlessness to ask questions, and the drive to do something about it are easily traced. She gets it from her family. "What I learnt from them was to be a community caretaker", Amira says. "My family took care of the community".

Report details findings from independent investigation into mishandling of MOVE victims’ remains
PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — An investigation into how the remains of the 1985 MOVE bombing victims were handled was unable to determine how or who placed a box of bones in the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office , which stayed there for decades.
Independent investigations into the mishandling of the remains were released to the public on Thursday. The investigation was done in several parts, conducted by Dechert LLP and Montgomery, McCracken, Walker & Rhoads (MMWR) LLP.
The more than 250-page report includes recommendations by MMWR regarding the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office, one being to pursue accreditation.
“I think these are very thoughtful, careful recommendations that we are working through and want to put into practice,” said Dr. Cheryl Bettigole , Philadelphia health commissioner. “These are families who have suffered immensely and a community that has suffered immensely, starting with the killing of the residents in 1985 and the trauma they went through at that time. And then, the subsequent events that are detailed in these reports. So we really want to make sure we’re meeting the needs of the families.”
Some of the recommendations include making homicide scenes a priority for independent investigators, specifically when they are police-involved; hiring additional staff; adopting formal policies, statements and training in regard to cultural diversity, sensitivity and speaking with families of victims; developing formal communication with families on death investigations; and creating formal procedures when it comes to the retention of specimens.
Regarding the victims of the MOVE bombing in Cobbs Creek, the firm also recommends that the Medical Examiner’s Office amend the causes and manners of death on the death certificates of all 11 victims, where appropriate, to reflect that the deaths were homicides, not accidents.
Six adults and five children died in 1985 when police dropped a bomb onto a row home occupied by the group. Blocks of surrounding houses were also destroyed.
Responding to these recommendations, Bettigole said getting the office accredited can take several years to complete.
And, she said the acting chief medical examiner agreed that the death certificates should be reviewed and updated, and the review process for that has started. She also hopes to have a new chief medical examiner in place by July.
Bettigole noted the office is understaffed, and they are looking to hire additional forensic investigators.
Keri Bradford-Grey, a partner at MMWR, said in order to complete this lengthy investigation, they hired a consultant, conducted interviews and studied other medical examiner offices across the country. They looked at where equity was not included in the protocols at Philadelphia’s office and made recommendations for all communities to get the same service from them.
“We need a chief medical examiner who is going to understand that they are going to have to be more communicative, more community-oriented, and understand how to make sure that information is available to all communities so they can access what they need to do and how they need to ensure that there’s proper distribution,” said Bradford-Grey. “And there, they are included in the decisions that, by law, they’re supposed to be making.”
Bradford-Grey said family members of the MOVE victims were informed and their voices were included in these findings. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2632565044792/report-details-findings-from-independent-investigation-into-mishandling-of-move-victims-remains | 2022-06-15T05:16:58Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2632565044792/report-details-findings-from-independent-investigation-into-mishandling-of-move-victims-remains | false | 1 |
Can Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam rebuild the DC Extended Universe?
Wasn’t the DC Extended Universe, Warner Bros’ rival to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, supposed to have died a death after the critical and commercial failure of the original Justice League? If so, nobody seems to have told Dwayne Johnson and Jaume Collet-Serra, respectively star and director of Black Adam, the debut trailer for which dropped this week.
Just like in the comics, the powerful antihero appears to be heavily related to 2019’s Shazam, the DC universe’s web of inter-superhero links thrillingly in place. We know this because despite having been announced back in 2014, Black Adam only exists because Shazam did so well. Could the DCEU end up being slowly rebuilt around the various costumed titans unleashed by Djimon Hounsou’s ancient wizard? It looks a sure bet, even if Hounsou hasn’t officially been confirmed to return in Collet-Serra’s film.
In the comics, Black Adam is the yang to Billy Batson’s yin, an earlier recipient of the sorcerous Shazam’s powers who was banished for 5,000 years after he failed to use them well. In the movie, the same 5,000-year period is in place, but instead of Black Adam travelling back to Earth from a distant galaxy where he’d been sent in disgrace, he’s apparently woken from an ancient tomb. Perhaps the CGI was just easier.
What’s strange here is that we seem to be getting introduced to Adam as a good guy, or at least someone with the potential to help deliver the Earth from the forces of evil, whereas in print the character started out as a baddie and only decades later began to appear as a more positive figure. This probably has a lot to do with the fact that he’s being played by Dwayne Johnson, Hollywood’s prime musclebound hulk now that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone are in their mid-70s.
Johnson seems to have been attached to the role for at least a couple of those five millennia, and now that it’s finally here the trailer is determined to show you that he’s a different kind of hero, a no-nonsense one that happily kills his enemies and doesn’t worry too much about pesky moral codes. I guess when you’ve been locked up that long, a little meaningless murder doesn’t register so high on one’s list of indiscretions.
This will all most likely be fine while Black Adam is lending a hand to the newly introduced Justice Society of America , perhaps as the black ops-style blunt instrument that the likes of Aldis Hodge’s Hawkman, Noah Centineo’s Atom Smasher and Pierce Brosnan’s Doctor Fate need to help them save the day without whetting their moral whistles. But it could cause problems down the line if Johnson is later primed to face off against Batson/Shazam or Superman.
There’s a reason Tom Hardy’s Venom has not yet battled Spider-Man in the Sony-owned Marvel movies, beyond the tangled web of contractual ownership of Tom Holland’s masked wall crawler. In the comics, superpowered individuals can take decades to go from good guy to bad and back again: on the big screen there is a lot less time to show audiences quite why the chap you just saw helping to save the known universe has just decided it might be a good idea to destroy it. Hence some of the doubters around the MCU’s Wanda Maximoff/Scarlett Witch recently turning to the dark side in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, despite Marvel giving her an entire TV show that more than hinted at her descent into villainy.
Ben Affleck’s caped crusader faced the same issues after he decided to take on the man of steel in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and never really recovered from being recast as the bad guy (though rubbish screenwriting certainly didn’t help).
Can Johnson’s Black Adam avoid all these future torments? Only time will tell, but for now he’s here, he’s more badass than a parade of monster trucks blasting out 80s hair rock, and he’s nothing like any hero we’ve seen in similar superhero fare. Provided DC have a plan to make this all work, who are we to complain? | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2632566870390/can-dwayne-johnson-s-black-adam-rebuild-the-dc-extended-universe | 2022-06-15T05:20:50Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2632566870390/can-dwayne-johnson-s-black-adam-rebuild-the-dc-extended-universe | true | 2 |

Simon Cowell is typically seen behind the “America’s Got Talent” judging table, not onstage as part of the acts.
Cowell made a rare exception to this rule during Tuesday’s edition of “AGT” for the audition of Blade 2 Blade, a.k.a. knife-throwing brothers Tyrone and Michael Laner.
To start their act, the two brothers stood opposite each and hurled knives at each other, barely missing and thudding into the large wooden board placed behind each, throwing the knives increasingly faster with the final knife aimed right at one of their heads — which ducked out of the way a fraction of a second before.

They were then joined by a female contortionist, who morphed her body into a pretzel-like pose on a spinning pole as the brothers proceeded to throw knives just past her — while blindfolded!
As if that wasn’t crazy enough, one brother was then strapped in upside down while the other stood on a revolving platform as they threw axes at each other.
After the act concluded, the judges shared their amazement at the extreme danger act, with Simon Cowell admitting, “What you do, I can only imagine how scary it is.”
“If you want to try, I invite you,” one of the brothers offered, leading the crowd to being chanting, “Simon! Simon!”

Finally, Cowell relented, standing sideways onstage with a brother on each side, throwing axes that whizzed right past him, dangerously close.
“I guess it’s safer than being on a bike,” joked Howie Mandel, referencing Cowell’s back-breaking bicycle accident in 2020.
Four yes votes from the judge guarantee that viewers of “America’s Got Talent” haven’t seen the last of Blade 2 Blade.

Gas prices in May likely kept inflation painfully high
WASHINGTON (AP) — The costs of gas, food and other necessities likely shot up in May, giving Americans no respite from the worst outbreak of inflation in four decades.
Economists have forecast that overall consumer prices jumped 8.2% last month compared with a year earlier, according to data provider FactSet. That would be barely below the 8.3% year-over-year surge in April and the 8.5% increase in March, which was the most since 1982.
And on a month-to-month basis, prices are expected to have jumped 0.7% from April to May, up sharply from a 0.3% increase from March to April. The acceleration would almost certainly be due to gas prices, which had declined in April but leaped more than 10% in May alone and have since reached an average of nearly $5 a gallon nationwide.
America’s rampant inflation is imposing severe financial pressures on families, forcing them to pay much more for such items as food, gas and rent and reducing their ability to afford discretionary items, from haircuts to entertainment. Lower-income and Black and Hispanic Americans, in particular, are struggling because, on average, a larger proportion of their income is consumed by necessities.
High inflation has also forced the Federal Reserve into what will likely be the fastest series of interest rate hikes in three decades. By raising borrowing costs aggressively, the Fed hopes to cool spending and growth enough to curb inflation without tipping the economy into a recession. For the Fed, it will be a difficult balancing act.
Surveys show that Americans regard high inflation as the nation’s top problem , and a substantial majority disapprove of President Joe Biden’s handling of the economy. Congressional Republicans are hammering Democrats on the issue in the run-up to the fall midterm elections.
Inflation has remained high even as the sources of rising prices have shifted. Initially, robust demand for goods from Americans who were stuck at home for months after COVID hit caused shortages and supply chain snarls and drove up prices for cars, furniture and appliances.
Now, as Americans resume spending on services, including travel, entertainment and dining out, the costs of airline tickets, hotel rooms and restaurant meals have soared. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has further accelerated the prices of oil and natural gas. And with China now easing strict COVID lockdowns in Shanghai and elsewhere, more of its citizens are driving, thereby sending oil prices up even further.
Yet Friday’s report on consumer inflation may contain some encouraging signs. Economists expect “core” inflation — which excludes volatile prices for food and energy — to slow. On a year-over-year basis, economists have estimated that core prices rose 5.9% in May, down from a 6.2% annual rate in April. It would be the second straight month that this figure has weakened. Economists closely track core inflation because it’s considered a better gauge of future price changes.
Surging gas prices leave drivers stranded as summer nearsThe cost of used cars, which skyrocketed in 2020 and 2021 as shortages of semiconductors sharply reduced the availability of new cars, has fallen for three straight months. And clothing and appliance costs both dropped in April.
Goods prices are expected to fall further in the coming months. Many large retailers, including Target, Walmart and Macy’s, have reported that they’re now stuck with too much of the patio furniture, electronics and other goods that they ordered when those items were in heavier demand and will have to discount them.
Even so, rising gas prices are eroding the finances of millions of Americans. Prices at the pump are averaging nearly $5 a gallon nationwide and edging closer to the inflation-adjusted record of about $5.40 reached in 2008.
Research by the Bank of America Institute, which uses anonymous data from millions of their customers’ credit and debit card accounts, shows spending on gas eating up a larger share of consumers’ budgets and crowding out their ability to buy other items.
For lower-income households — defined as those with incomes below $50,000 — spending on gas reached nearly 10% of all spending on credit and debit cards in the last week of May, the institute said in a report this week. That’s up from about 7.5% in February, a steep increase in such a short period.
Spending by all the bank’s customers on long-lasting goods like furniture, electronics and home improvement has plunged from a year ago, the institute found. But their spending on plane tickets, hotels and entertainment has continued to rise.
Economists have pointed to that shift in spending from goods to services as a trend that should help lower inflation by year’s end. But with wages rising steadily for many workers, prices are rising in services as well.

The U.S. failed to take basic steps at the start of the coronavirus pandemic to prevent fraud in a federal aid program intended to help small businesses, depleting the funds and making people more vulnerable to identity theft, the chairman of a House panel examining the payouts said Tuesday.
Democratic Rep. James Clyburn blamed the Trump administration for the problems in the COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan program, overseen by the U.S. Small Business Administration, amid revelations that as much as 20% of the money — tens of billions of dollars — may have been awarded to fraudsters.
Clyburn said the Biden administration has implemented measures to identify potential fraud and directed loan officers to address indications of fraud before approving loans, while Congress has invested in fraud prevention and accountability.
Rep. Steve Scalise, the No. 2 House Republican, said the Trump administration and Congress worked together at the beginning of the pandemic, when uncertainty was rampant and much of the economy was locked down, to deliver “much needed relief as fast as we could to help save as many jobs as we could” and prevent the economy from crashing.
Scalise, R-La., said Democrats are undermining the successes, and he asked why the House coronavirus panel Clyburn chairs wasn’t looking into the enhanced unemployment insurance program that was plagued by “egregious and unprecedented fraud” and is a “leading contributor” to the high inflation rates.
“I hope that in our oversight of pandemic programs, my Democratic colleagues will be able to recognize the difference between what was needed to save the economy during an unprecedented pandemic versus pushing a partisan, inflation-inducing agenda,” he said.
Clyburn, of South Carolina, said the subcommittee will determine what more must be done to bring perpetrators of fraud to justice and how to protect future emergency programs.
Clyburn said he supports extending the statute of limitations for this kind of fraud case to give investigators more time to untangle complex potential crimes. Witnesses at the hearing suggested standardizing the data collected by states to make it easier for federal authorities to spot possibly fraudulent patterns.
The SBA’s Office of the Inspector General has estimated that at least $80 billion distributed from the $400 billion EIDL program could have been fraudulent, much of it in scams using stolen identities. Separately, staff for the select subcommittee on Tuesday issued a report that found that some 1.6 million applications for the loans may have been approved without being evaluated.
The subcommittee’s staff found that those loans were approved in batches of up to 500 applications at a time. Applications were allowed to move through even if they had certain red flags for fraud — such as international client locations or phone numbers not associated with the business or the owner — so long as they weren’t too many of them. The process meant that while software analyzed the applications, they were not even opened by officials before being greenlighted for funding.
The SBA’s inspector general, Hannibal “Mike” Ware, said initially there was a huge struggle at the agency about the “need for speed versus the need for controls.” He said he was “screaming” about the need for fraud controls. He said the most concerning thing was self-certification, which meant applicants could say they had a business or a certain number of employees and get money.
The subcommittee hearing also tackled broader fraud concerns with the flood of pandemic aid from multiple federal government programs for states, local governments, businesses and the unemployed. The $5 trillion in total aid, delivered in a series of bills signed by Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden, have come with numerous complications.
Fraud overwhelmed enhanced unemployment insurance programs funded by the federal government and administered by the states. There was so much aid to governments that many struggled to find a way to spend it all under the original regulations. And there have been questions about whether the Paycheck Protection Program to keep employees working was worth it.
The Secret Service said in December that nearly $100 billion has been stolen from COVID-19 relief programs, basing that estimate on its cases and data from the Labor Department and the Small Business Administration. The White House downplayed the estimate, saying it was based on old reports.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency may have been double-billed for the funerals of hundreds of people who died of COVID-19, the Government Accountability Office said in April. States and cities continue to be slow to spend their pandemic relief money.
The select subcommittee said Tuesday that more than $10 billion allocated under two massive business loan programs has been returned because of investigations and bank actions. Federal prosecutors have charged nearly 1,500 people with crimes related to fraud against the government over the business loans and enhanced unemployment insurance programs.
The government’s Pandemic Response Accountability Committee says inspectors general for various federal agencies have at least 1,150 ongoing investigations into fraud from the different aid funds. Officials say it could take years to untangle all the problems.

By Ramzy Baroud – Jun 8, 2022
That took place between May 2021 and May 2022 is nothing less than a paradigm shift in Palestinian resistance. Thanks to the popular and inclusive nature of Palestinian mobilization against the Israeli occupation, resistance in Palestine is no longer an ideological, political or regional preference.
In the period between the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993 and only a few years ago, Palestinian muqawama – or resistance – was constantly put in the dock, often criticized and condemned, as if an oppressed nation had a moral responsibility in selecting the type of resistance to suit the needs and interests of its oppressors.
As such, Palestinian resistance became a political and ideological litmus test. The Palestinian Authority of Yasser Arafat and, later, Mahmoud Abbas, called for ‘popular resistance’, but it seems that it neither understood what the strategy actually meant, and certainly was not prepared to act upon such a call.
Palestinian armed resistance was removed entirely from its own historical context; in fact, the context of all liberation movements throughout history, and was turned into a straw man, set up by Israel and its western allies to condemn Palestinian ‘terrorism’ and to present Israel as a victim facing an existential threat.
With the lack of a centralized Palestinian definition of resistance, even pro-Palestine civil society groups and organizations demarcated their relationship to the Palestinian struggle based on embracing certain forms of Palestinian resistance and condemning others.
The argument that only oppressed nations should have the right to choose the type of resistance that could speed up their salvation and freedom fell on deaf ears.
The truth is that Palestinian resistance preceded the official establishment of Israel in 1948. Palestinians and Arabs who resisted British and Zionist colonialism used many methods of resistance that they perceived to be strategic and sustainable. There was no relationship whatsoever between the type of resistance and the religious, political or ideological identity of those who resisted.
This paradigm prevailed for many years, starting with the Fidayeen Movement following the Nakba, the popular resistance to the brief Israeli occupation of Gaza in 1956, and the decades-long occupation and siege starting in 1967. The same reality was expressed in Palestinian resistance in historic Palestine throughout the decades; armed resistance ebbed and flowed, but popular resistance remained intact. The two phenomena were always intrinsically linked, as the former was also sustained by the latter.
The Fatah Movement, which dominates today’s Palestinian Authority, was formed in 1959 to model liberation movements in Vietnam and Algeria. Regarding its connection to the Algerian struggle, the Fatah manifesto read: “The guerrilla war in Algeria, launched five years before the creation of Fatah, has a profound influence on us. […] They symbolize the success we dreamed of.”
Palestinian disunity, however, which was a direct result of the Oslo Accords, made a unified Palestinian position on resistance untenable. The very idea of resistance itself became subject to the political whims and interests of factions. When, in July 2013, PA President Abbas condemned armed resistance, he was trying to score political points with his western supporters, and further sow the seeds of division among his people.
The truth is that Hamas neither invented nor has ownership of, armed resistance. In June 2021, a poll, conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR), revealed that 60% of Palestinians support “a return to armed confrontations and Intifada.” By stating so, Palestinians were not necessarily declaring allegiance to Hamas. Armed resistance, though in a different style and capacity also exists in the West Bank, and is largely championed by Fatah’s own Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. The recent Israeli attacks on the town of Jenin, in the northern West Bank, were not aimed at eliminating Hamas, Islamic Jihad or socialist fighters, but Fatah’s own.
Skewed media coverage and misrepresentation of the resistance, often by Palestinian factions themselves, turned the very idea of resistance into a political and factional scuffle, forcing everyone involved to take a position on the issue. The discourse on the resistance, however, began changing in the last year.
The May 2021 rebellion and the Israeli war on Gaza – known among Palestinians as the Unity Intifada – served as a paradigm shift. The language became unified; self-serving political references quickly dissipated; collective frames of reference began replacing provisional, regional and factional ones; occupied Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque emerged as the unifying symbols of resistance; a new generation began to emerge and quickly began to develop new platforms.

On May 29, the Israeli government insisted on allowing the so-called ‘Flag March’ – a mass rally by Israeli Jewish extremists that celebrate the capture of the Palestinian city of al-Quds – to once more pass through Palestinian neighborhoods of occupied East Jerusalem. This was the very occasion that instigated the violence of the previous year. Aware of the impending violence which often results from such provocations, Israel wanted to impose the timing and determine the nature of the violence. It failed. Gaza didn’t fire rockets. Instead, tens of thousands of Palestinians mobilized throughout occupied Palestine, thus allowing popular mobilization and coordination between numerous communities to grow. Palestinians proved able to coordinate their responsibility, despite the numerous obstacles, hardships and logistical difficulties.
The events of the last year are a testament that Palestinians are finally freeing their resistance from factional interests. The most recent confrontations show that Palestinians are even harnessing resistance as a strategic objective. Muqawama in Palestine is no longer ‘symbolic’ or supposedly ‘random’ violence that reflects ‘desperation’ and lack of political horizon. It is becoming more defined, mature and well-coordinated.
This phenomenon must be extremely worrying to Israel, as the coming months and years could prove critical in changing the nature of the confrontation between Palestinians and their occupiers. Considering that the new resistance is centered around homegrown, grassroots, community-oriented movements, it has far greater chances of success than previous attempts. It is much easier for Israel to assassinate a fighter than to uproot the values of resistance from the heart of a community.

And a lot of 20-something women are yet to go on their first date too, according to government study.
On Tuesday, the Japanese government’s Cabinet Office released a new white paper on gender equality. The wide-ranging study presented a large variety of data about men and women in Japan, one statistic that’s been met with shock is that, according to the study, roughly 40 percent of unmarried Japanese men in their 20s have never been on a single date.
As part of the paper’s overarching goal of clarifying the current societal situation for men and women in Japan, the researchers asked participants in their 20s whether they were married, completely unattached, or had a “lover” (the specific Japanese word, koibito, refers to a romantic, though not necessarily sexual, partner). The responses were:
● Men in their 20s
No spouse or lover: 65.8 percent
Lover: 19.1 percent
Common law spouse: 1.5 percent
Spouse: 13.6 percent● Women in their 20s
No spouse or lover: 51.4 percent
Lover: 27.3 percent
Common law spouse: 1.4 percent
Spouse: 19.8 percent
That’s a significantly higher proportion of unattached young men than women, and that gap was further reflected when those same demographics were asked how many people they’d ever gone on a date with. Here’s a graph of the responses from men in their 20s, with the solid green line for single men and the dotted one for married men, and the number of dating partners they’ve had along the bottom.
It’s not the most intuitive way of presenting the data, but the gist is this: roughly 40 percent of single men in their 20s who were surveyed have gone on a date with zero people, or, in other words, have never been on a single date in their entire life.
By comparison, the chart for women in their 20s (again with the solid line for singles and the dotted for married women) shows only about 25 percent of young adult women have never been on a date. That may or may not sound like a lot, depending on your image of 20-something romance, but it’s still a lot less than the figure for men.
▼ Surprisingly, about five percent of both married men and women in their 20s in the Cabinet Office’s study have also had zero dating partners, perhaps implying that they met their life partner through a konkatsu (spouse-searching) service.
The question about number of past dating partners was also posed to survey respondents in their 30s and 40s, who were more likely to have at least been on one date than the 20-somethings.
● Percentage of respondents who have never been on a date
Women in their 20s: Roughly 25 percent
Women in their 30s: Roughly 22 percent
Women in their 40s: Roughly 12 percent
Men in their 20s: Roughly 40 percent
Men in their 30s: Roughly 35 percent
Men in their 20s: Roughly 22 percent
It’s not clear, though, if the greater dating experience of the older respondents is because their age groups were more romantically active in their 20s than today’s 20-somethings are, or if they too spent their 20s dateless and had their first experience only after their hit their 30s or 40s.
▼ Maybe this dude has always been this dapper, and maybe he was a late bloomer.
Either way, though, 40 percent of men in the 20-29 age bracket having never been on a date feels like a big number. Whenever talking about dating habits in Japan, though, there are some important sociological factors to bear in mind, with the most important being that in Japan, explicitly asking someone out on a date is a bigger, bolder move than it is in many other cultures.
That’s not entirely due to Japanese shyness, either. Japanese society is very group-oriented, and that often extends to social life for college students and relatively new members of the workforce, the two categories many people spend most of their 20s in. In university, many people’s social lives are defined by the campus club or sports team they join, and many companies have drinking parties, employee trips, and other activities that the staff, especially younger members, are expected to participate in. Because there are so many occasions to socialize in a group setting, breaking away from that setting and asking someone out on a date, where it’ll be just the two of you, can carry a sense of more significant, relationship-ready interest than a casual “Let’s just go out to dinner and see if we’re compatible”-style invitation does in other countries. Even when meeting people outside of school or the workplace, Japan has a whole social institution called gokon, basically a group dinner for singles organized either informally by friends or by matchmaking services, where people can become acquainted and litmus-test their compatibility without going on an official “date.”
In other words, part of the reason 40 percent of the 20-something men, and 25 percent of the women, haven’t ever been on even a casual date is because casual dates themselves are less common in Japan, with the “still getting to know each other” phase often taking place at nominally platonic group events instead.
That said, the survey’s five percent of married 20-somethings who somehow got hitched without ever going on a date notwithstanding, ordinarily people do feel like they need to eventually go on a date before getting married. With planned single parenthood not really a thing in Japan and the Japanese government struggling to find ways to increase the country’s birth rate, it’s in the Cabinet Office’s best interest to search for specific answers as to why so few people are dating, and what can be done to help those who are dateless but not by choice.
It’s unfortunate that the survey apparently didn’t ask older respondents how many dating partners they’d had when they were in their 20s, since that would have shed some light on whether or not the large number of dateless young adults is a new phenomenon. As for what should be done, that’s a topic for another day, but maybe fewer high schools forcing students to join extracurricular clubs or flat-out prohibiting dating would at least make it so that young adults who are interested in finding a date aren’t starting off their 20s romantically flat-footed.

Amber Heard still in Aquaman 2 despite viral report claiming otherwise, reveals spokesperson
A spokesperson for the actress said that "the rumour mill continues to be inaccurate, insensitive and slightly insane" in the wake of rumours that she has been cut.
Despite a viral story that suggests otherwise, Amber Heard's career in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) is still intact.
On Tuesday (Jun 14), gossip site Just Jared published a story claiming that the 36-year-old actress was booted from Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom, or Aquaman 2, citing a source. They added that a replacement was found for Heard’s character, Mera.
However, one of Heard’s spokespeople told Variety that the actress has not been cut from the movie and that “the rumour mill continues as it has from day one – inaccurate, insensitive and slightly insane”.
Heard had previously played Mera, Aquaman’s love interest from the comics, in the 2017 film Justice League and 2018’s Aquaman opposite Jason Momoa’s titular character.
During Depp’s trial against Heard last month, DC Films president Walter Hamada said that Heard's role in Aquaman 2 was reduced due to her lack of chemistry with Momoa.
However, he maintained that the studio's decision had nothing to do with the lawsuit, and that filming with Heard was a smooth process.
The seven-person jury in the Virginia court where the highly-publicised trial took place eventually ruled in Depp’s favour, awarding him US$10.35 million in compensatory and punitive damages. Heard was awarded US$2 million in compensatory damages.
Throughout the trial's six weeks, social media rallied against Heard, while Depp was portrayed as an anti-establishment hero.
In an interview with NBC’s Today show that aired on Jun 13, Heard commented about the social media discourse surrounding the trial: “Even if you think that I’m lying, you still couldn’t look me in the eye and tell me that you think on social media there’s been a fair representation.
“You cannot tell me that you think that this has been fair.”
Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom will be released in Singapore cinemas on Mar 16 next year. | https://cnalifestyle.channelnewsasia.com/entertainment/amber-heard-aquaman-2-removed-rumours-false-316176 | 2022-06-15T05:48:53Z | https://cnalifestyle.channelnewsasia.com/entertainment/amber-heard-aquaman-2-removed-rumours-false-316176 | true | 1 |

UK to introduce law unilaterally changing post-Brexit rules for Northern Ireland
Britain and the EU agreed as part of their Brexit deal that the Irish land border would be kept free of customs posts and other checks.
Published: 13th June 2022 07:09 PM | Last Updated: 13th June 2022 07:09 PM | A+A A-
LONDON: Britain’s government is expected to introduce legislation Monday that would unilaterally change post-Brexit trade rules for Northern Ireland amid opposition from lawmakers who believe the move violates international law.
The proposed bill aims to scrap parts of a trade treaty that Prime Minister Boris Johnson signed with the European Union by removing checks on goods entering Northern Ireland from the rest of the U.K.
Britain’s government has said the bill is lawful, but the EU has threatened to retaliate, raising the possibility of a trade war between the two sides.
On Monday, Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney said the bill “marks a particular low point in the U.K.’s approach to Brexit.”
Coveney tweeted that the U.K. was seeking to “deliberately ratchet up tension with an EU seeking compromise.”
Johnson sought to brush aside criticism, telling reporters that the proposed change is “relatively simple to do.”
“Frankly, it’s a relatively trivial set of adjustments in the grand scheme of things,” he told LBC Radio.
He argued that his government’s “higher and prior legal commitment” is to the 1998 Good Friday peace agreement and to preserve stability in Northern Ireland.
Arrangements for Northern Ireland — the only part of the U.K. that shares a land border with an EU nation — have proved the thorniest issue in Britain’s divorce from the bloc, which became final at the end of 2020.
At the center of disputes is the Northern Ireland Protocol, which seeks to maintain peace between Northern Ireland, a part of the U.K., and the Republic of Ireland, part of the EU, after Brexit.
Britain and the EU agreed as part of their Brexit deal that the Irish land border would be kept free of customs posts and other checks because an open border is a key pillar of the peace process that ended decades of violence in Northern Ireland.
Instead, to protect the EU’s single market, there are checks on some goods, such as meat and eggs, entering Northern Ireland from the rest of the U.K.
But the arrangement has proved politically damaging for Johnson because it treats Northern Ireland differently from the rest of the United Kingdom, potentially weakening the province’s historic links with Britain. Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party has refused to return to the region’s power-sharing government until the protocol is scrapped or substantially changed to address those concerns.
The bill to override that arrangement is expected to face opposition in Parliament, including from members of Johnson’s Conservatives. Critics say unilaterally changing the protocol would be illegal and would damage Britain’s standing with other countries because its part of a treaty considered binding under international law.
“Breaking international law to rip up the Prime Minister’s own treaty is damaging to everything the U.K. and Conservatives stand for,” opponents of the bill said in a note being circulated among Conservative lawmakers, according to the Financial Times.
After a conversation with British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, European Commission Vice President Maros Sefcovic said “unilateral action is damaging to mutual trust and a formula for uncertainty.” | https://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2022/jun/13/uk-to-introduce-law-unilaterally-changing-post-brexit-rules-for-northern-ireland-2465147.html | 2022-06-15T05:54:37Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2022/jun/13/uk-to-introduce-law-unilaterally-changing-post-brexit-rules-for-northern-ireland-2465147.html | true | 2 |
Brahmastra trailer: Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt come together to save the world in visually-stunning extravaganza. Watch
- Brahmastra trailer: Ranbir Kapoor is Shiva, a boy-next-door with a connection to the divine ancient weapon--Brahmastra. The Ayan Mukerji film also stars Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy.
The much-anticipated trailer for Ayan Mukerji’s magnum opus Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva released on Wednesday morning. The trailer sets the tone for the film, which many have called India's answer to fantasy epics like Lord of the Rings. The three-minute trailer packs a lot of visually-stunning moments, heavy impressive VFX shots, and an indication of the film's grand scale. Also read: Alia Bhatt hasn't 'slept for a week' in anticipation of Brahmastra trailer release: 'Watched it 30 times now'. Watch
The near-three-minute trailer opens with Amitabh Bachchan's voice over telling us how the five elements have had their powers stored in ‘astras’ (weapons) since the ancient times and that this is the story of the God of all Astras- the Brahmastra. We then meet Ranbir Kapoor's Shiva, a boy-next-door, who has no clue he is connected to the Brahmastra in some way. He meets Isha and we see romance brewing between the two before we and Isha learn Shiva's secret--fire does not burn him.
Shiva realises that ancient forces are at play in the world with two sides facing off in the battle to get their hands on the Brahmastra. We see glimpses of the good guys--Amitabh Bachchan and Nagarjuna--and also Mouni Roy as the film's villain. Amitabh Bachchan's character then tells Shiva how he is connected to this world of astras and then Shiva assumes his role as the saviour he was meant to be.
Fans reacted with excitement to the trailer. One commented, “VFX are outstanding never saw this type of VFX in any Indian cinema.” "
Many urged fans not to compare it to Hollywood blockbusters. One fan wrote, “Don't compare it to Marvel. marvels are made in so much budget. I'm proud that Indian cinema is changing and in less budget they came up with this movie.”
Brahmastra, directed by Ayan Mukerji, will release on September 9. It sees Ranbir appear alongside wife Alia Bhatt for the first time. The two actually began dating after bonding on the film’s sets. The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy. The film is the first of a trilogy, which sets out to establish India’s own cinematic universe--the Astraverse.
The film has seen a number of delays over the years. It began production five years ago in 2017 and after delays caused by the pandemic and other factors, reshoots finally ended earlier this year as Ranbir and Alia shot for a song in Varanasi. At a reported budget of around ₹300 crore, it is one of the most expensive and ambitious Indian films ever made.
Speaking on the occasion of the trailer release, director Ayan Mukerji said, “Marking the beginning of a new cinematic universe, The Astraverse, I believe Brahmāstra is the kind of film that the country would feel really proud of. It touches on our roots; celebrates our rich culture and it takes us forward with our technology. The film is proudly Indian and Imaginative and bringing together some of Pan-India’s most renowned names was a dream come true!”
Apart from Hindi, the film will release in four other languages – Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. Filmmaker SS Rajamouli is presenting the film in all the four languages, while Chiranjeevi has lent his voice for the Telugu trailer. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/brahmastra-trailer-ranbir-kapoor-alia-bhatt-come-together-in-visually-stunning-extravaganza-watch-101655264362915.html | 2022-06-15T05:56:42Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/brahmastra-trailer-ranbir-kapoor-alia-bhatt-come-together-in-visually-stunning-extravaganza-watch-101655264362915.html | true | 3 |
Neeraj Pandey on Bandon Mein Tha Dum!, the future of documentary storytelling and more
Neeraj Pandey says Bandon Mein Tha Dum! is a thrilling four-part documentary series that can be enjoyed by cricket lovers as well as those who are not fans of cricket
Filmmaker Neeraj Pandey is back with a project revolving around cricket. The M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story director says that his upcoming documentary series, Bandon Mein Tha Dum!, is not just for cricket fans.
The series has four parts that will take viewers to the nail-biting moment when India defeated Australia at the 2020-21 India-Australia test series. The historic triumph happened at Gabba where Australia hadn’t lost a test match for more than three decades. But the victory wasn't an easy one.
"It's a fantastic story to begin with. The format was most conducive to tell the story because to recreate, it would have been impossible. With more challenging forms of storytelling coming to the fore and audiences willing to consume them, I thought that it was a great opportunity to tell the story in this format," he says about making the documentary.
"The series of matches happened during the coronavirus pandemic. The way the test series unfolded and the whole journey panned out, it was remarkable. It was about individual stories, about team effort, people playing through injuries and much more. There were so many stories within a story during this particular series," he shares.
The producer, who backed another cricket project, Kaun Pravin Tambe?, calls his new documentary series simply thrilling.
"We have managed to get a fantastic ensemble together on this. There are players like Ajinkya Rahane, Washington Sundar and Mohammed Siraj and journalists as well. Everyone has an interesting take on how things panned out, what was going on at that point of time and what exactly was happening behind the scene," he shares.
Pandey feels that for cricket lovers, it's going to be a treat. "For non-cricket lovers also, it's a fantastic story. The whole four-part series is a lesson on man management, team psychology and leadership. We keep talking about all these qualities in our daily lives. Everything is there in the series. That's the reason why we picked the story. It just goes beyond cricket," he explains.
Secrets Of Sinauli: Discovery Of The Century is another documentary that Pandey recently worked on.
On the future of documentary storytelling in India, he says, "It's going to get bigger. When you see a documentary, it is a notch closer to reality. There is an audience that's ever-growing. When I started off in the media industry, I was into documentaries. And I see a sea of change now. Audiences are now loving it and embracing it. So these are exciting times for people to consume it and people to make it."
He believes that OTT has definitely helped in making documentaries popular in the country. "We didn’t know where to consume documentaries earlier. Documentaries were hardly screened in theatres in India, so for us there was no destination to go to and figure out where to watch," he says.
According to the director, known for helming movies like A Wednesday!, Special 26 and Baby, now there is a platform where people can watch documentaries. "People are also understanding that it can be as interesting as fiction," he says.
The last few years saw him doing digital projects and producing films, and now he is eager to direct a feature film. "Yes, it's on the cards. We will go on floors in October or November. I'll be making an announcement soon. Hopefully, we will have a mid-year release in 2023," says Pandey without revealing if it's the much-delayed film, Chanakya, with Ajay Devgn.
Operation Romeo and Vikram Vedha are among his various productions, and both happen to be remakes of south Indian films.
"In all humility, I don't like to direct a remake for the simple reason that it's a film that's already been made. I write and direct my own stuff, but there are so many directors who don't write and they are always on the lookout for stories. They like to interpret, adapt and go ahead and make a film out of a vernacular film which is fine. We encourage directors who want to look at material which is possible in terms of a remake," says Pandey.
Bandon Mein Tha Dum! will start streaming on Voot Select from 16 June.

BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — If any of the golfers in the U.S. Open are still looking for a place to stay this week, there’s a house available across the street from The Country Club and the location isn’t even the best part.
The 1887 three-bedroom, 1½ bath was the boyhood home of Francis Ouimet, the self-taught former caddie who popped across Clyde Street to win the 1913 event. The playoff victory over British pros Harry Vardon and Ted Ray was trumpeted in a book and movie as “The Greatest Game Ever Played,” and it is credited with spreading golf throughout the United States.
The property at 246 Clyde had long since passed from Ouimet's family when it was purchased in 2019 and restored to the style it would have had when he lived in a second-floor bedroom that overlooked The Country Club's 17th hole. Period furniture has been brought in to decorate the house, with artwork celebrating Ouimet and his role as the founding father of American golf.
"We want to keep it in golf," said Tom Hynes, a neighbor who orchestrated the deal and is raising money to pay for it. “The rationale for buying it was to somehow preserve it for the history of golf."
A commercial real estate broker and nephew of former Boston Mayor John Hynes, Tom Hynes lives down the street from the Ouimet house. He used to see its owners walking their dog in the neighborhood.
“When you’re ready to sell your house, I’m your buyer," he told them.
They reached out near the end of 2019, and a day later, they had a handshake deal for what property records say was a purchase price of $875,000. “And then I put an LLC together and went around with a tin cup to buy it,” Hynes said.
But Hynes wasn’t done. Since then, he’s overseen the restoration of the house to the style of Ouimet's era, with the goal of showing it off during the Open. Hynes, who in his real job has cut deals totaling millions of square feet, is doing this one pro bono.
“Of all the deals I’ve done over the last 50 years, this is certainly in the top five as the most important. And it isn’t about the money,” he said. “You couldn’t pay me enough to do this. This is strictly for the preservation of the house for golf.”
The tale of the gut rehab will be familiar to homeowners who have done work on their homes, complete with supply chain holdups and hidden structural flaws that ballooned the cost and delayed completion.
Two weeks to strip the stairway of the finish applied and reapplied over more than a century. Making backup plans for window air conditioners while hoping the actual HVAC system would arrive in time.
The original wide-planked wooden floors were in such bad shape that a contractor proposed ripping them out and replacing them.
“I said, ‘No, no. No, you don’t. We're not going to tear up Francis Ouimet's bedroom floor,” Hynes said.
Instead, the boards were gently removed, sent off to be de-nailed, cleaned, planed, and re-milled with tongue and grooves and then replaced. They were sanded and painted with tongue oil last week.
Hynes declined to say how much has been spent on the project in all.
“I prefer not to at this time, because even the LLC partners don’t know how much we’ve spent so far,” he said with a laugh. “I’d rather break the news to them gently.”
But there were also some more pleasant surprises.
When workers pulled down a shelf in the attic, they discovered two golf clubs — based on the era, they are presumed to have belonged to Ouimet. Maybe they were carried by 10-year-old caddie Eddie Lowery when Ouimet beat the celebrated British pros in an upset that spawned a golfing boom in the New World.
“That’s what’s so good about golf is the history and the tradition and these stories,” said Ireland’s Rory McIlroy, who counts the 2011 U.S. Open among his four major championships. “The fact that he grew up just off the 17th hole here, and we’re still talking about it to this day over 100 years on. That’s so cool. That’s the great thing about this sport.”
The project did make some concessions to modern life.
The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances. Doors have been widened to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. A sprinkler system was installed. The screen door on the front porch — painted green like so much of the trim at The Country Club itself — has two crossed golf clubs, in gold, carved into its frame.
New cedar clapboards to replace the vinyl siding — that will have to wait until Phase 2, along with energy efficient windows matching the original style.
In the weeks before the U.S. Open, workers scurried to pull out an unsightly fence, with Hynes himself planting the shrubs and flowers to give the property some curb appeal. Furniture was delivered, paint was drying, Ouimet's portrait — and the golf clubs believed to be his — were hung on the walls.
Hynes, who hosted a player in his own home for the 1988 U.S. Open — the last time the tournament came to The Country Club — said he is hoping to show off the Ouimet house this week to golfers and others interested in the sport's history.
And if they need a place to sleep?
“If someone showed up and wanted to rent the place," he said, "we’d be all ears.” | https://www.michigansthumb.com/sports/article/Home-of-1913-US-Open-champ-Ouimet-restored-for-17242464.php | 2022-06-15T06:07:45Z | https://www.michigansthumb.com/sports/article/Home-of-1913-US-Open-champ-Ouimet-restored-for-17242464.php | false | 26 |

Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, one of the leading company in petroleum sector in India, today organized a Blood Donation drive at their Pune office in association with Sahyadri Super Speciality Hospital. The drive was organized on the occasion of World Blood Donor Day.
The objective of this initiative was to strengthen its commitment towards social causes, and the well-being of its communities. The initiative received an overwhelming response and witnessed participation from its employees and their family members, dealers, distributors and channel partners. With four beds and equipment’s put in place under the observation of doctors, a total of 52 units of blood were collected through the programme. Every donor was also provided with a certificate by the hospital.
Speaking about the initiative, one of the employees, Mr. Tanmay Jaiswal, State Head (I&C) Maharashtra & Pune, BPCL, said, “In line with the vision of BPCL, I have been donating blood as a practice since almost 30 years. I feel proud to be a part of such initiatives that create a sense of responsibility of giving back to the society. This marked my 39th time of blood donation and I will continue to do so, bettering as many lives as possible”.
He further added “The donation started just as one-off event but very shortly it got imbibed deep and became part of my life. It all happened because of an inner urge to do something beyond I, Me & Myself. Today I feel that it’s a small little payback to the society which gives us so much. Since Blood Donation is considered to be the utmost form of charity wherein you giveaway some of yourself, all of us should donate blood generously. ”
The company sets up these kind of voluntary blood donation camps every year. BPCL has consistently been a front-runner in setting-up such crucial health camps across the country.

The U.S. birth rate has been sinking sharply since 2007 for no clear reasons.
A country’s birth rate is measured as the number of births per 1,000 women aged 15 years to 44 years. Between 1980 and 2007, the U.S. birth rate fluctuated between 65 to 70. In 2007, it was 69.5.
The U.S. birth rate has fallen every year since. The most recent measure of the U.S. birth rate, for 2020, is 56.0. That’s a 19.4 percent drop in 13 years.
The U.S. birth rate decline is widespread across women of different ages. The teen birth rate — the number of births per 1,000 women age 15 to 19 years – had been falling before 2007: after peaking at 61.8 in 1991, it steadily fell to 42.5 by 2007. It has since plunged to 15.3 in 2020.
U.S. birth rates have also fallen for women in their 20s and early 30s. The birth rate for women age 20 to 24 years fell from 106.3 in 2007 to 63.0 in 2020. The birth rate for women age 25 to 29 years fell from 117.5 to 90.2. For women age 30 to 34 years, the birth rate decreased from 99.9 to 94.9.
Birth rates have increased modestly since 2007 for women age 35 to 44 years. For women age 35 to 39 years, the birth rate increased from 47.5 to 51.8; for women age 40 to 44 years, the rate increased from 9.5 to 11.8.
Those figures show two changes since 2007, one small, one big. The small change is: women are waiting longer to have children. The big change is: women are having fewer children.
U.S. birth rates have also decreased across race and ethnicity since 2007. The birth rate for Hispanic women fell from 102.2 in 2007 to 63.1 in 2020. The birth rate for non-Hispanic Black women fell from 71.6 to 59.2. The birth rate for non-Hispanic White women fell from 60.1 to 53.2. The birth rate has also decreased across education level. The birth rate for women without a high school diploma decreased from 119.0 to 97.5. For college-educated women, the birth rate fell from 72.5 to 59.4.
What’s driving the sinking U.S. birth rate? Potential explanations come quickly to mind. The recession of 2007-09. Better employment opportunities for women. Rising costs of raising children, including child care and housing costs. Increased use of contraceptives. College debt burdens.
Economists have been investigating the causes of the sinking U.S. birth rate with great intensity in recent years. Their findings, to date, are clear. None of those potential explanations, nor any combination of them, explain the sinking U.S. birth rate.
Birth rates in the past fluctuated with the state of the economy, rising with expansions, falling in recessions. Thus, the 2007-09 recession might explain the first years of the sinking birth rate. But while the economy grew without interruption from mid-2009 through February 2020, the U.S. birth rate continued to sink. Changes in employment opportunities, child care costs, housing costs, contraceptive use and college debt burdens vary, sometimes considerably, from state to state. State-by-state comparisons show no relationship between changes in those variables and changes in birth rates.
So, where does that leave us? In a recent study, economists Melissa Kearney, Phillip Levine and Luke Pardue conjecture that changes in women’s priorities could be driving the sinking birth rate. The authors acknowledge that their “shifting priorities” explanation is speculative and probably impossible to empirically support. They offer the conjecture because economic factors fail to explain the sinking birth rate.
We’ll explore the consequences of the sinking U.S. birth rate in my next column.

‘World’s youngest bodybuilder’ who began training aged 11 looks UNRECOGNISABLE now
A BOY who was once dubbed the world's youngest body builder looks unrecognisable more than 10 years after he first began working out.
Comso Taylor received national attention as a youngster after showing off his muscular physique at bodybuilding competitions across the UK.
Pictures from the age of 14 show the teen glistening with stage tan as he posed during practice for his on-stage routines.
He was a star in the making and thought to be heading to the top of the sport.
These days, there appears to be no let up as the gym enthusiast, originally from Inverness, Scotland, works on his muscles regularly.
Facebook photos from the last two years show Cosmo, now thought to be in his early twenties, as he lifts weights and flaunts his impressive abs.
It continues a brutal training regime that reportedly started at the tender age of 11 as the Brit became the youngest competitive bodybuilder in the country.
In an revealing interview, he claimed he would lift weights for one hour every day and undertake cardio before school in a bid to keep his body fat below eight per cent.
And growing up in a family of fitness fanatics, the young weightlifter said he was encouraged to take up the sport by his mother and father.
Speaking to the Mail Online, Cosmo said at the time: “My dad's a bodybuilder and he's always been my inspiration. Ever since I was a little boy, all I've wanted to do is step on stage.
Most read in News
“Dad has encouraged me every step of the way- he's my coach, my gym buddy and my training partner.
“My sister comes to the gym with us too - she's a competitive power lifter and has even won gold medals - I'm really lucky to have such a good support network around me."
He added: “The gym is my life - I love lifting and I love the buzz I get when I hit a personal best or see growth in my muscles."
Despite his young age, Comso was put on a strict diet - consisting of lean meat, brown rice, sweet potato and oats.
He was only allowed a cheat day once a week - ensuring he was in the best condition come competition time.
Even in his tender years, Cosmo claimed he could bench more than his own body weight and admitted that it had “taken years to build a good physique.”
He said: “The day before my shows I cut my water right down to dehydrate myself - this helps to bring my muscles to the surface and give me a vascular look.
“It's amazing how much you can change your body through making small tweaks like fluid intake.
“My friends at school are fascinated by my physique because most of them haven't started going to the gym yet.
“They ask me questions all day long about how to get bigger arms and how to pump up your chest.
“Some of my male teachers laugh and joke about how they'd love to have a body like mine too.”
Cosmo’s proud mother Florence said she was extremely proud of his progress at such a young age and insisted that it was his choice to enter the world of bodybuilding.
She said: “His body is earned, not given, and his hard work and dedication has certainly paid off.
“Some parents might think Cosmo's regime is radical for a boy of his age, but it's his choice, he absolutely lives for his training.
“He is extremely mature for his age, both physically and mentally.”
“We will always support Cosmo in whatever career or sport he decides to pursue as an adult." | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18887576/worlds-youngest-bodybuilder-looks-unrecognisable-now/ | 2022-06-15T06:20:12Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18887576/worlds-youngest-bodybuilder-looks-unrecognisable-now/ | false | 3 |
As Australians despairingly see lettuce go for $10 a bunch, growers are warning it's just the tip of the iceberg.
Increasing costs of diesel and fertiliser due to the conflict in Ukraine as well as labor costs and shortages are driving prices of produce into the stratosphere.

Combined with what has been dubbed the 'cost of living crisis', trips to your local supermarket are becoming increasingly depressing affairs.
But there's one solution that people can turn to, it just requires getting your hands a bit dirty.
Janey James from Welby Garden Centre says the variety people can plant now made it an incredibly cost-effective exercise.
"It's definitely a good time [to grow veges]," she told the Post.
"You can grow from seed and save even more money than buying seedling although they give you a head start if you're an a inexperienced gardener.
"You've got your spinach, silverbeet, peas, rocket, coriander, onion, some varieties of lettuce, garlic, shallots, broccoli, cabbages and cauliflower that you can plant now.
"Once the last frosts finish, which here is about October, then it's all the salad things so tomatoes, cucumbers, lots of lettuce, zucchinis, herbs and all types of beans."
Janey said she had already seen an increase in sales as people turned to their own backyards, a trend that also spiked during COVID.
"We're starting to see sales increasing on vegetable seedlings so it is having an impact. People are definitely growing more," she said.
"It actually all changed with COVID, that triggered a whole lot of people growing their own food because they were concerned about shortages. Now this threat from shortages and prices rises is once again making people come back round to growing their own.
"A lot of the nutrient value is also lost in transport and the fresh vegetable in your own garden are much more nutrient dense."

New Delhi | Jagran Entertainment Desk: Most loved and popular Korean Pop band BTS on their 9th Anniversary announced that they are taking a 'hiatus' for focusing on their solo projects in the coming time. BTS Boys in their annual grand BTS Festa revealed that they would be going on an indefinite hiatus. Here's what the OT 7 felt is the reason behind them taking a 'hiatus'
RM, who leads the band said that he felt the OT7 is losing their direction and he had lost ‘hold’ after their release of Dynamite in 2020, adding that he didn’t know what kind of group they were anymore.
He said, “For me, it was like BTS was within my grasp till ON and Dynamite. But after Butter and Permission To Dance, I didn’t know what kind of group we were in anymore. Whenever I write lyrics, it was important for me to give out a message, but that was gone now. I don’t know what kind of story we should tell now,” he said.
He also said that "something was off" and that "We have lost our direction" and he wants to take some time to think. He mentioned that he was afraid that he wasn’t living up to fans' expectations, and V (born Kim Taehyung) added that the fans have always rooted for them. RM also said that he was afraid that he had begun speaking for the group, just because he was more fluent in English, and it made him more guilty.
Meanwhile, BTS' Jimin said that ' we are slowly figuring out what types of artist we want to." He said, “I think that’s why we’re going through a rough patch right now, we’re trying to find our identity and that’s an exhausting and long process.”
While Suga also shared his thoughts on the same and they have nothing to say anymore, and he has to ‘squeeze’ out words. “We have to satisfy people’s wants, and so I squeeze it out, and that is so painful. That’s how this job goes. I’ve made music since 2013 and I’ve never purely enjoyed it because I was always squeezing it out. But doing that now feels completely different to what I wanted to say 7-8 years ago. Back then I had something to say but lacked the skills. Now I don’t have anything to say.”
J-Hope who is the first one to announce his project after the break said that 'time apart is a healthy plan'. "I’m scared of you being disappointed in us. When I said that I wanted to take a break, it feels like I’m doing something bad…” He added, “The thing I want to see for all of us, is that we all be together and perform on stage sincerely. When we gather and talk like this, I want us to be happy without thinking about the rules of the world.” At this point, seeing their leader in tears led to the rest getting rather emotional. “I always want to be RM of BTS,” he said."
After V also shared a heartfelt note and wrote, “We are happy. Although the things that all 7 of us like, and dislike, the personalities, propensities, and tempo are all different. We have the same thought with ARMY so we had to continue RUN BTS. For the past 10 years, we always going forward while we are looking upwards. We’re scared and we’ve to give up some things for the team and there’s countless exhaustion and hardships that always came after happiness. To remain as BTS for a long time, it’s time to begin our healthy footsteps and I’m sure ARMY will love that too. ARMY and BTS are connected by a purple string. Let’s see each other for a long time so that it won’t break off and the colour of the string will still remain the same. We love ARMY so much.”

You should see my email inbox. Yikes! It’s overflowing with questions, tips, stories, feedback, rebuttals and all kinds of love from you, my dear readers. Today, I’m making a tiny dent in the pile with these responses to a handful of your questions on auto leasing, homemade laundry detergent and more.
Dear Cheapskate: My wife and I are disagreeing. I want to lease a new car now because ours is old and paying for repairs is like flushing money down the drain. She wants to keep it until we can buy a better car. I hate car trouble and think peace of mind is something to be considered. I’m sure we can afford the payment, but she’s not. What should we do? —James
Dear James: I’d rather shove toothpicks under my fingernails than ever lease a new car again, which is another story, but enough about me.
Here’s my best advice: Do whatever you must to keep the old car running for now. Then, for the next 12 months, live as though you are making $400 monthly lease payments — but make those payments to yourselves. Don’t even think about being late, just as if you were under a stern leasing contract.
At the end of a year, you will have two things: a good idea of your comfort zone for big lease payments and $4,800 cash. Now you’ve got options.
No. 1: You can sell the clunker and buy a used car with the money; or No. 2: You can make a down payment on a newer car.
To me, buying a car is far better than jumping into a lease where you will spend a fortune and have nothing, not even a car, to show for it at the end of the lease period.
Thanks for writing and for calling me “Cheapskate.” As you may know, I used to be a world-class spendthrift (EverydayCheapskate.com/about), and that nearly ruined my life. Learning to live frugally turned my life around, so I wear that “cheapskate” moniker with pride and joy.
Dear Mary: I’m so confused about laundry products, particularly detergents. Are powders better than liquid? Is the word “ultra” just hype? Thanks. —Cindy
Dear Cindy: Here’s the scoop on laundry detergent: Typically, the word “ultra” means the product has been concentrated to fit into a smaller box. The problem is unless you read the label and carefully measure and experiment to find the least amount that works for you, you’ll probably dump in the same amount you have in the past. Not good.
A product that has fabric softener added isn’t going to clean or soften as well but generally is cheaper than buying two different products if you insist on using laundry softeners.
If a product says it has more stain fighters, it contains enzymes to dissolve stains better, but you’ll still have to pretreat heavy stains. Detergents with enzymes usually cost more than those without.
Typically, liquid detergents are more expensive and work better on greasy stains, but the cheaper powdered detergents are better on clay dirt and mud stains.
Both liquid detergent and liquid bleach will get a boost and work better if you add a half-cup of baking soda to the wash cycle, which means it’s possible you’ll be able to use less detergent. This is only cost-effective when your soda products are less per ounce than the detergent.
And now for my super-duper laundry detergent savings secret: I make my own homemade laundry detergent (EverydayCheapskate.com/laundry-detergent). Seriously. And it’s so cheap — about 5-7 cents per wash load. It has no perfumes or mystery ingredients and works better than any commercial laundry products I’ve purchased in the past.
Give it a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised!
Dear Mary: We’ve been putting money in a 529 plan for our daughter’s college education for the past several years. She recently told us she wants to attend beauty school instead. Now that the surprise has worn off, we’re concerned about penalties when we withdraw the money. How much will we lose, and is there any way to avoid it? —Rebecca
Dear Rebecca: I’ve got great news for you! That 529 plan money can be used at any accredited trade or vocational school — not only colleges and universities — to pay for tuition, room, board, fees, books and supplies. If you have more in the account than the total cost of the vocational training and related costs, you can withdraw the balance.
Federal law imposes a 10% penalty on earnings for nonqualified distributions. This means that you will get back 100% of your principal and 90% of your earnings.
Another option is to change the beneficiary to another child or qualifying family member to keep the account going and avoid (or at least delay) taking nonqualified withdrawals if your daughter’s education doesn’t require those funds. Your particular fund may have additional provisions, so be sure to check with the fund manager.
Anyone can learn more about 529 college savings plans at SavingForCollege.com. Hope that helps!

Hector Reyes, Technocopia collaboration helps participants build new futures
When Elmo Quiles was a kid, he would often make wooden toy cars for fun. Now, years later as a member of a Worcester makerspace, he loves to spend time in the woodshop creating similar cars through a unique program, Hector Reyes x Technocopia.
Technocopia, a nonprofit that offers common workspace and tools for artisans, and the Hector Reyes House, a residential substance use treatment facility in Worcester for Latino men, recently joined forces for a successful pilot program that provides hands-on learning in various trades. Funded by a grant from United Way, the partnership allows men from the Hector Reyes House to spend time at the Technocopia workshops, taking training classes and allowing them to eventually become full members of the makerspace if they choose to do so.
“This is where I come and create stuff, and I feel proud doing it,” said Quiles, whose favorite space in Technocopia is the woodshop. “The people are like a family. I feel free physically and mentally. As soon as I walk in here, I want to create something.”
The partnership has been running since March, although the idea has been in development since late last year, according to Frankie D. Franco, who recently graduated from Clark University with a master’s degree in community development and planning and who serves as the program’s community liaison. A former intern and now a member of Technocopia, Franco was familiar with both the makerspace and also with the Hector Reyes House, where his father had lived. When visiting his dad, Franco would talk to the other men as well, and they often said they had idle time. Franco knew there had to be a way to fill that time with something productive.
That led to conversations with Technocopia co-founder and board chair Lauren Monroe, who is currently serving as the program director, and then to Hector Reyes House officials. After speaking to some of the men at the house to see if the program would interest them, Franco and Monroe decided to officially pursue applying for a grant from the United Way Community Creative Challenge by producing a 90-second video.
The idea gained momentum over the winter months when Franco and Monroe visited the Hector Reyes House to talk more about the Technocopia mission and benefits, engaged them in a project making customized wooden boxes, and asked them to complete surveys about their interests. The information was helpful for all parties because, Monroe said, not everyone knows about the existence of makerspaces and what can be done with them. “They wouldn’t have known they had this resource less than a mile from the house,” she said of the men at Hector Reyes.
After an in-person presentation for the grant during a second round, the plan received funding and initially began with 12 men who live at the Hector Reyes House or its two sober houses. They were able to participate in various Technocopia trainings on the different machines and workshops available at the makerspace, such as metal and wood working, digital fabrication, textiles, basic computer skills and 3D printing. Through the grant, the men also receive a stipend for participating in the program, and while some have tried a little bit of everything, others have found they enjoy a particular skill set. Recently, the men worked together to build wooden frames for large-scale marionettes that were used by the Guardians of Traditions in the June 11 Worcester Tercentennial parade.
“We know a lot of skills to run these machines are excellent 21st-century skills,” Monroe said. “Our goal was to introduce the skills and let them find their own way. Anything you learn here is going to be good for the workspace.”
Not only does the program provide the men with necessary skills, but first and foremost, it also aims to help them with their recovery, Monroe said.
“They love coming here. They like to get out of the house,” Franco said. “To find a community of creators, that’s important for them. This replaces one community with another community.”
Franco said that oftentimes people struggling with addiction are viewed as only that – addicts – but they are, in fact, more: They can be makers, fathers, members of the Worcester community. “It’s been a beautiful experience watching them come in all happy,” he said of them men from Hector Reyes. “Every time we see each other, it’s all hugs. That’s the family component. We get to see the different layers. There are so many pieces to us, to our identities. They just breathe here. They can exist here.”
For Franco’s father, Frankie Franco Sr., that component has been extremely important. Currently a resident of one of the Hector Reyes sober houses, Franco Sr. enjoys coming to Technocopia because contributing to something positive gives him a better outlook about life and himself, and it helps clear his mind before heading back to the house, he said.
“I know it’s helping my fellow members and other addicts. It nourishes your soul, mind and spirit. I’m glad the Latino community has an outlet like this. It’s very important,” said Franco Sr., who likes to work with vinyl and iron-on graphics.
Franco Sr. himself has been an integral part of the program — he helped with the development but also serves as a translator at Technocopia. That has been an important component of the partnership and to Technocopia overall because, Monroe said, “we haven’t had a lot of Spanish-speaking resources. This has been an opportunity for us to address that gap, so we can better serve the people who live in our neighborhood.”
Of the 12 men who initially started the program, five have completed it and are now full Technocopia members, meaning they can come and work when they’d like, instead of set hours. For Jimmy Rivera, who has been living at the sober house for about three months after six months at the Hector Reyes House, it’s an opportunity for which he is grateful.
“I’m in recovery, so it’s part of my recovery. It helps me talk to people, socialize. It helps me get back into the swing of things,” said Rivera, who likes to make his own T-shirts when he’s at Technocopia. “I come here and do my projects, and everything seems to go away. The problem is still there, but while I’m here, I usually come up with a solution.”
The grant is for a year, and Technocopia is currently seeking opportunities to bring in a new cohort of men. They also would like to explore setting up a workspace in the Hector Reyes House so that the program participants can create there as well.
“We want to continue this program,” Monroe said. “We want men who are part of this program to act as mentors.”
In addition, she said, “we’re hoping to create partnerships with corporations for paid internships, so that from here we can recommend men who are ready for that.”
Franco Sr. said that without the Technocopia partnership, he doesn’t think he would be where he is today. “I wish there were more programs like this to help the Latino community and addicts in their recovery. It will hep and transform their lives, but it will also give them a positive goal. The thing is to always have a goal in front of you.” | https://www.worcestermag.com/story/lifestyle/2022/06/13/hector-reyes-technocopia-collaboration-helps-participants-build-new-futures/7456848001/ | 2022-06-15T06:33:01Z | https://www.worcestermag.com/story/lifestyle/2022/06/13/hector-reyes-technocopia-collaboration-helps-participants-build-new-futures/7456848001/ | false | 1 |
Did Putin’s Legs Buckle During a Ceremony Due to Cancer or Parkinson’s Disease?
We received reader mail that asked us to look at a video clip that purportedly showed Putin unsteady on his feet during an awards ceremony.
- Published
Claim
A video recorded on June 12, 2022, shows Russian President Vladimir Putin’s legs buckling during a ceremony either because he had terminal cancer or Parkinson’s disease.
Fact Check
On June 13, 2022, rumors began to spread online that claimed a video showed Russian President Vladimir Putin‘s legs buckling under him as he participated in an awards ceremony, purportedly because he had been diagnosed either with terminal cancer or Parkinson’s disease. One important component lacking from the claims was solid evidence or an official announcement that would definitively confirm that Putin had such a disease. Without evidence, these claims were nothing more than unverified rumors.
The video made the rounds with the unsubstantiated rumors at a time when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was in its fourth month. As for the rumors themselves, BBC previously reported that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had “denied speculation” that Putin was ill.
The ‘Trending News’ Video
One of our readers sent in a specific video that came from a YouTube channel named “Trending news.” The video’s title read, “PUTIN was ‘Appear’ in the last days of his life, medical services came in when he was unsteady.”
Again, there was no evidence that Putin had an undisclosed disease that would put him “in the last days of his life.” Further, there’s no evidence that “medical services came in when he was unsteady.”
Video After Ceremony
Another video that appeared to have been captured after the ceremony ended showed Putin standing with other attendees while having a drink. The man pictured on the left with the mustache is Nikita Mikhalkov, a filmmaker who was one of the recipients of an award. This video from a discussion following the event stands somewhat in opposition to the idea that Putin had received “medical services” while he was “unsteady”:
The event seen in the video was identified as the State Awarding Ceremony at the Grand Kremlin Palace in Moscow, which took place on June 12, also known as Russia Day.
Longer Video
A longer video from the same ceremony showed Putin entering the room and standing for quite a long time. None of the 59 photographs from the event hosted by Getty Images showed Putin sitting, which may have indicated that he stood for the duration of the ceremony.
During Mikhalkov’s speech, Putin stood by his side. One of the main moments highlighted in some of the clips from the ceremony was when Putin’s legs could be seen moving between 0:29 and 0:39 in the following video:
If Putin stood for the entirety of the event, which lasted an unknown amount of time, it’s possible that he may have been making sure to not lock his knees. The act of locking one’s knees during any kind of ceremony, such as a wedding, has resulted in a seemingly countless number of YouTube videos of people fainting. It’s unclear if Putin was simply attempting to shift around to avoid blacking out. However, this was perhaps the most reasonable explanation.
We also looked at a number of past speeches made by Putin to see if he often shifts his legs while standing behind or near a podium. Beginning at the 2:00 mark in this video from June 2021, Putin can be seen moving back and forth while speaking into a microphone. In another video from a speech in September 2020, Putin is seen shifting his legs back and forth at the following marks just in the first minute alone: 0:18, 0:28, 0:36, 0:40, 0:49, and 0:58.
‘The Tyrant’s Shaky Legs’
The U.K. tabloid Metro provided coverage of the rumors, reporting with the headline, “Putin looks unsteady on his feet at awards ceremony”:
Fears about the Russian leader’s mental and physical wellbeing have come into sharp focus since he invaded Ukraine nearly four months ago.
There is speculation he is suffering from terminal cancer or Parkinson’s following reports of trembling hands and mysterious disappearances.
A video has now emerged from an awards ceremony on Sunday showing the tyrant’s shaky legs.
The article presented no conclusive evidence that would support the unverified rumors.
In sum, there’s no evidence that Putin’s legs were shaking or buckling at the June 2022 ceremony due to terminal cancer, Parkinson’s disease, or any other illness.
For further reading, we previously reported the same “unproven” verdict about a similar rumor that claimed Putin was going to hand over power temporarily since he was scheduled to undergo cancer surgery.
Note: At the time that this story was written, Google Trends showed that readers also appeared to be searching Google to find out about Putin’s health, particularly if he was in a coma. However, Putin had just appeared at the awards ceremony two days prior to our finding of the coma rumor. There’s zero evidence that Putin was in a coma.

Amazon Freevee is coming to the rescue of American Rust as the free streaming platform picks up the Jeff Daniels-led drama for a second season.
Produced by Boat Rocker and executive produced by Daniels, Dan Futterman, and Adam Rapp, Season 2 of American Rust will continue the stories which began in Season 1 of the crime drama set in a Pennsylvania Rust Belt town. The series debuted last year on Showtime where it was subsequently canceled.
Based on Philipp Meyer’s acclaimed novel of the same name, American Rust explored the tattered American Dream in a Rust Belt town in southwest Pennsylvania through the eyes of police chief Del Harris (Daniels). Harris becomes compromised when the son of the woman (Maura Tierney) he loves is accused of murder, and he’s forced to decide what he’s willing to do to protect him.
Production on Season 2 is scheduled to begin later this year with both Daniels and Tierney attached to return in their roles.
“I’m grateful to Amazon Freevee for giving us the chance to make Season Two of American Rust. Set inside a struggling American small town, our authentic, realistically told story is built for streaming. The movies they don’t make anymore are being made as series at places like Amazon Freevee. It’s where I want to be,” said Jeff Daniels.

Retailers: Sales weak as Scottish consumers cut spending
- Published
Sales growth continued to stall on Scotland's high streets last month as shoppers cut spending amid the cost of living crisis, according to retailers.
The Scottish Retail Consortium (SRC) reported a 1.6% year-on-year rise in total sales in May.
But adjusted for inflation, sales were 1.1% down on the same period last year.
SRC said retailers were "facing the difficult truth that their customers are becoming more price conscious in response to high inflation".
Food sales were up by 1.8% on May 2021, while the non-food category saw a rise of 1.5%.
SRC head of policy Ewan MacDonald-Russell said "bleak economic news" had translated into "meagre" Scottish retail sales.
He said: "Food fell by 2.5% in real terms as feeble sales were significantly offset by higher input costs, exacerbated by the conflict in Ukraine.
"Non-food sales were similarly weak, with white goods and homeware especially poor, albeit fashion was bolstered by sales of formalwear as people started to attend weddings and similar events after a three-year hiatus."
He added: "Retailers are facing the difficult truth that their customers are becoming more price conscious in response to high inflation.
"Those customers are responding by reducing their discretionary spending, both by buying fewer items but also trading down from premium to value ranges."
'Clouds remain'
KPMG's UK head of retail, Paul Martin, said: "The sun didn't shine for long during May, and clouds remain for Scottish retailers after a less than convincing May saw sales growth stall for the second month running.
"The rising cost of living is still top of the agenda for retailers, with consumer confidence a key factor to watch out for.
"Retailers will be hoping that warmer weather and a summer feel-good factor kick builds confidence amongst some shoppers - as presently overall confidence levels are lower than sales may suggest.

(Adnkronos) – Research demonstrates employers need to be more creative and innovative in their talent strategy approach
MILWAUKEE, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — While IT skills needs are evolving faster than ever, and specialized technology talent is at a premium, critical soft skills, aka ‘power skills’ are being neglected in the recruitment and resourcing process. Despite continued talk of the crucial nature of upskilling and reskilling, latent potential remains untapped among workers in the middle of the tech talent pyramid. ‘The New Age of Tech Talent,’ a report from Experis, a global leader in IT professional resourcing and managed services and part of ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN), finds that employers need to be more creative and agile in their talent strategy – both inside and outside their organizations. The research suggests that HR leaders should be guided by workforce data, a clear talent philosophy and a willingness to experiment.
“The IT sector is growing quickly,” said Jonas Prising, Chairman and CEO of ManpowerGroup. “While there is an acute demand for highly technical candidates, great potential lies within adaptable generalists’ candidates that is frequently untapped. This can be detrimental as the soft skills these individuals possess are often the most challenging to find. Companies can look within to fully explore workforce potential and reskill employees to fill gaps and meet their talent needs.”
When asked why they were having difficulty filling tech roles, 34% of hiring managers said candidates did not have the right technical skills, 32% said they didn’t have the right relevant experience, and 27% said they didn’t have the right soft skills. The research also cites that 22% of hiring managers have the greatest difficulty finding IT project managers, followed by cybersecurity analysts, software developers, and AI/machine learning specialists (all 20%). The top soft skills employers report are in demand for tech roles include Critical Thinking & Analysis, Creativity & Originality, Reasoning & Problem-Solving, Reliability & Self Discipline, and Resilience & Adaptability.*
Ger Doyle, Head of Experis, Digital & Business Innovation adds, “Regardless of sector, the conversation about the technology skills gap often focuses on the most senior and junior roles and ignores existing talent who have strong technical skills and an intuitive sense of the business but may lack exposure to emerging technologies and a roadmap for their future career development.”
With so many organizations competing to recruit IT workers from the same talent pool, there is a golden opportunity for employers to look further afield. Often, candidates are overlooked because they lack traditional qualifications. Further, recruiting strategies that embrace greater gender and ethnic diversity are also significant in the search for the right IT talent.
Findings published in ‘The New Age of Tech Talent’ are based on a survey of 40,000 employers in 40 countries and reveal organizations are accelerating investment in technology and prioritizing Cyber Security (46%), Internet of Things (IoT), (44%) E-Commerce platforms (43%) and Cloud Computing (41%).*
The report underscores four ways organizations can bring new thinking to life:
As part of ManpowerGroup’s commitment to be a creator of talent at scale and improving employability and prosperity for all, Experis Academy helps companies to preskill, upskill, and reskill in-demand tech workers and many others at speed and scale – matching them to meaningful, sustainable jobs while helping them grow their skillsets for the future.

Europe, India, UK deals in sight by end of year, new trade minister hopes
By David Crowe
Australia is aiming for a trade deal with the European Union by the end of this year to open the two markets to more farm exports and add $15 billion to both economies after years of attempts to seal the agreement.
Trade Minister Don Farrell will meet his French counterpart, Franck Riester, in a strong sign of progress on a deal after the new government moved last weekend to end a dispute with France over a cancelled submarine contract.
The meeting, to be held on the sidelines of a World Trade Organisation meeting in Geneva, adds to separate talks on free trade agreements with India and the United Kingdom, raising hopes these deals could also be done by the end of the year.
“I’ve told both the Indians and the English that I believe we can get both of those agreements up and running by the end of the year - and that will certainly be my aim,” Farrell said in Geneva on Wednesday.
The EU agreement has been especially challenging because it includes rules on geographic names such as Parmesan cheese and Parma ham, so Australian producers would have to phase out names that are essential to European food brands.
A key issue in the EU talks is the increased ambition on climate change spelt out by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese when he pledged a 43 per cent cut in carbon emissions by 2030, going further than his predecessor, Scott Morrison.
The EU believed the former government’s target was too low and this issue, combined with the outcry in France over the submarine contract, slowed the trade talks over the past year.
Farrell said the new government’s policy on climate was greeted with a “sigh of relief” from EU legislators in a meeting on Monday.
“That’ll keep us in very good stead in these negotiations,” Farrell told Sky News from Geneva on Wednesday.
“I’m meeting with the French trade minister today. I’m hoping that that will lead to a very early resumption of the negotiations with Europe about a free trade agreement.”
“I got the very clear impression now that the we’ve resolved some of these issues around climate change that that was going to make it damn sight easier to get an agreement. I hope I’m not too optimistic here but I’d like to think that we can get a free trade agreement with the European Union by the end of the year.”
Farrell said the EU would send a delegation to Australia in a few weeks and he expected to meet the group to take another step towards concluding the deal. He also told Sky News he joined a “solidarity rally” for Ukraine with his counterparts and others while on his visit to Europe.
The stakes are significant in the European trade deal, with the EU scoping study concluding that the economic gain to the EU would be worth €4.9 billion, or about $8 billion, by increasing GDP by 0.02 per cent.
Australia stood to gain €4.2 billion, or about $7 billion, from a 0.2 per cent increase in its GDP, according to the analysis several years ago.
Australian producers are concerned about geographical indications, the rules that saw the labels champagne, port and sherry banned from Australian wines in 2009, but the EU is determined to expand its list of “brand” names.
“That is an important issue in all our trade talks,” the former EU trade commissioner, Cecilia Malmstrom, told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age in an interview in 2018.
“Some of these iconic names in cheese and hams, they are very important for certain member countries.”

Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross said he would “boycott” an independence referendum if it is held illegally.
Speaking to Channel 4 News on Tuesday evening, Mr Ross said he would not support a “wildcard” referendum after First Minister Nicola Sturgeon suggested the Scottish Government would seek to hold a vote without a section 30 order if the UK Government does not grant one.
Ms Sturgeon launched the first in a series of papers setting the scene for a renewed case for Scottish Independence at Bute House on Tuesday morning.
Mr Ross told Channel 4 News: “This is not the priority for people across Scotland right now. There are far more pressing issues to deal with: coming out of Covid and the recovery of the country after that; dealing with unemployment; dealing with education issues; getting our NHS on better footing.
“That’s the priority people want politicians and the Chamber behind us to be focusing on and if Nicola Sturgeon would be so reckless and irresponsible to go ahead with an illegal wild card referendum then I wouldn’t support it and I would urge people to boycott it."
Nicola Sturgeon fired the starting gun on Indyref2 yesterday
Mr Ross added: “Nicola Sturgeon has gone further than she’s ever gone before, and suggesting she would hold an illegal wild card referendum. I think that is completely reckless. It’s unacceptable for the First Minister to even be threatening that. And I would say I would have absolutely nothing to do with it.”
Earlier on Tuesday, Ms Sturgeon said her duty is to the people of Scotland and not to Boris Johnson.
“My duty, as the democratically elected First Minister, is to the people of Scotland, it is not to Boris Johnson or to any Tory prime minister,” she said.
“This is a UK Government that has no respect for democracy.
“That means if we are to uphold democracy here in Scotland we must forge a way forward, if necessary, without a Section 30 order.”

Two new buildings will soon be built where the former gift shop Local Color once stood on North Boulevard.
On Monday, the Oxford Planning Commission was presented with two requests by developers of The Grove at North Lamar proposed near the Savannah Square Development on the corner of North Lamar and Pleasant Drive.
Both requests were for special exceptions – one from the city’s structure height limit for a building that will front North Lamar and the other to allow for first-floor residential units in the second building.
Building “A,” which will front North Lamar will have 9,120 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor with three floors of residential units above it. The height of the building will be 46-feet high. Having a four-story building in the Traditional Neighborhood Business zone is only allowed by a special exception granted by the Commission.
Developers have designed the fourth floor using a ‘step back” design to relieve some of the building height perspective from the street level, giving the façade of the building the appearance of being three stories.
The commission voted 3 to 2 to approve the special exception.
For Building “B,” developers asked for a special exception to allow only residential units, which can be allowed in TNB via a special exception. Building “B” will front Pleasant Drive, next to a residential neighborhood. Since Building “A” provides commercial space, planning staff said it would not be appropriate for Building “B” and recommended approval.
The commission approved the special exception for first-floor residential unanimously.
The two special reception requests will go before the Oxford Board of Aldermen for their approval at a future meeting. | https://www.hottytoddy.com/2022/06/14/former-local-color-location-to-gain-two-new-developments/ | 2022-06-15T06:47:41Z | https://www.hottytoddy.com/2022/06/14/former-local-color-location-to-gain-two-new-developments/ | true | 1 |

LONDON (AP) — Britain canceled a flight that was scheduled to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda late Tuesday after the European Court of Human Rights intervened, saying the plan carried “a real risk of irreversible harm.”
The decision to scrap the flight capped three days of frantic court challenges from immigrant rights lawyers who launched a flurry of case-by-case appeals seeking to block the deportation of everyone on the government’s list.
British government officials had said earlier in the day that the plane would take off no matter how many people were on board. But after the appeals, no one remained. British media reported that the number of potential deportees had been more than 30 on Friday.
After the flight was canceled, Home Secretary Priti Patel said she was disappointed but would not be “deterred from doing the right thing.” She added: “Our legal team are reviewing every decision made on this flight and preparation for the next flight begins now.”
Prime Minister Boris Johnson had emphatically defended Britain’s plan, arguing that it is a legitimate way to protect lives and thwart the criminal gangs that smuggle migrants across the English Channel in small boats. Britain in recent years has seen an illegal influx of migrants from such places as Syria, Afghanistan, Iran, Sudan, Iraq and Yemen.
Johnson announced an agreement with Rwanda in April in which people who enter Britain illegally will be deported to the East African country. In exchange for accepting them, Rwanda will receive millions of pounds (dollars) in development aid. The deportees will be allowed to apply for asylum in Rwanda, not Britain.
Opponents have argued that it is illegal and inhumane to send people thousands of miles to a country they don’t want to live in. The leaders of the Church of England joined the opposition, calling the government’s policy “immoral.” Prince Charles was among those opposed, according to British news reports.
Activists have denounced the policy as an attack on the rights of refugees that most countries have recognized since the end of World War II.
Refugee Council chief executive Enver Solomon said the British government’s deportation threat would not serve as a deterrent to those seeking safety in the U.K.
“The government must immediately rethink by having a grown-up conversation with France and the (European Union) about sharing responsibility and look to operating an orderly, humane, and fair asylum system,” Solomon said.
The U.N. refugee agency condemned the plan out of concern that other countries will follow suit as war, repression and natural disasters force a growing number of people from their homes.
Politicians in Denmark and Austria are considering similar proposals. Australia has operated an asylum-processing center in the Pacific island nation of Nauru since 2012.
“At a global level, this unapologetically punitive deal further condones the evisceration of the right to seek asylum in wealthy countries,” said Maurizio Albahari, a migration expert at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana as he described the UK policy.
Many millions of people around the globe have been displaced over the past two decades, putting the international consensus on refugees under strain. The world had more than 26 million refugees in the middle of last year, more that double the number two decades ago, according to the U.N. refugee agency. Millions more have left their homes voluntarily, seeking economic opportunities in developed nations.
In Britain, those pressures have led to a surge in the number of people crossing the English Channel in leaky inflatable boats, sometimes with disastrous consequences. Last November, 27 people died when their boat sank in the waters between France and England.
Johnson, fighting for his political life amid concerns about his leadership and ethics, responded by promising to stop such risky journeys.
While Rwanda was the site of a genocide that killed hundreds of thousands of people in 1994, the country has built a reputation for stability and economic progress since then, the British government argues. Critics say that stability comes at the cost of political repression.
Filippo Grandi, the U.N. high commissioner for refugees, attacked the policy as “all wrong.”
If the British government is truly interested in protecting lives, it should work with other countries to target the smugglers and provide safe routes for asylum-seekers, not simply shunt migrants to other countries, Grandi said.
“The precedent that this creates is catastrophic for a concept that needs to be shared, like asylum,” Grandi said Monday.
The Archbishop of Canterbury and 24 other bishops from the Church of England joined the chorus of voices asking the government to reconsider an “immoral policy that shames Britain.”
“Our Christian heritage should inspire us to treat asylum-seekers with compassion, fairness and justice, as we have for centuries,” the bishops wrote in a letter to the Times of London.
Britain’s Supreme Court refused to hear one last-ditch appeal Tuesday, a day after two lower courts refused to block the deportations. Legal challenges continued, however, as lawyers filed case-by-case appeals on behalf of individual migrants.
Many migrants favor Britain as a destination for reasons of language or family ties, or because it is seen as an open economy with more opportunities than other European nations.
When Britain was a member of the European Union, it was part of a system that required refugees to seek asylum in the first safe country they entered. Those who reached Britain could be sent back to the EU countries they traveled from. Britain lost that option when it withdrew from the EU two years ago.
Since then, the British and French governments have worked to stop the journeys, with a great deal of bickering and not much success. More than 28,000 migrants entered Britain in small boats last year, up from 8,500 in 2020.
Nando Sigona, a migration expert at the University of Birmingham, said large principles are at stake if the Rwanda policy stands.
“How can we establish any kind of moral high ground where we intervene in other countries if we are not signatory to providing protection to those fleeing war and persecution?’’ Sigona asked.

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

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A new study has found that Facebook has failed to catch Islamic State group and al-Shabab extremist content in posts aimed at East Africa as the region remains under threat from violent attacks and Kenya prepares to vote in a closely contested national election.
An Associated Press series last year, drawing on leaked documents shared by a Facebook whistleblower, showed how the platform repeatedly failed to act on sensitive content including hate speech in many places around the world.
The new and unrelated two-year study by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue found Facebook posts that openly supported IS or the Somalia-based al-Shabab — even ones carrying al-Shabab branding and calling for violence in languages including Swahili, Somali and Arabic — were allowed to be widely shared.
The report expresses particular concern with narratives linked to the extremist groups that accuse Kenyan government officials and politicians of being enemies of Muslims, who make up a significant part of the East African nation’s population. The report notes that “xenophobia toward Somali communities in Kenya has long been rife.”
The al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab has been described as the deadliest extremist group in Africa, and it has carried out high-profile attacks in recent years in Kenya far from its base in neighboring Somalia.
The new study found no evidence of Facebook posts that planned specific attacks, but its authors and Kenyan experts warn that allowing even general calls to violence is a threat to the closely contested August presidential election. Already, concerns about hate speech around the vote, both online and off, are growing.
“They chip away at that trust in democratic institutions,” report researcher Moustafa Ayad told the AP of the extremist posts.
The Institute for Strategic Dialogue found 445 public profiles, some with duplicate accounts, sharing content linked to the two extremist groups and tagging more than 17,000 other accounts. Among the narratives shared were accusations that Kenya and the United States are enemies of Islam, and among the posted content was praise by al-Shabab’s official media arm for the killing of Kenyan soldiers.
Even when Facebook took down pages, they would quickly be reconstituted under different names, Ayad said, describing serious lapses by both artificial intelligence and human moderators.
“Why are they not acting on rampant content put up by al-Shabab?” he asked. “You’d think that after 20 years of dealing with al-Qaida, they’d have a good understanding of the language they use, the symbolism.”
He said the authors have discussed their findings with Facebook and some of the accounts have been taken down. He said the authors also plan to share the findings with Kenya’s government.
Ayad said both civil society and government bodies such as Kenya’s national counterterrorism center should be aware of the problem and encourage Facebook to do more.
Asked for comment, Facebook requested a copy of the report before its publication, which was refused.
The company then responded with an emailed statement.
“We’ve already removed a number of these pages and profiles and will continue to investigate once we have access to the full findings,” Facebook wrote Tuesday, not giving any name, citing security concerns. “We don’t allow terrorist groups to use Facebook, and we remove content praising or supporting these organizations when we become aware of it. We have specialized teams — which include native Arabic, Somali and Swahili speakers — dedicated to this effort."
Concerns about Facebook's monitoring of content are global, say critics.
“As we have seen in India, the United States, the Philippines, Eastern Europe and elsewhere, the consequences of failing to moderate content posted by extremist groups and supporters can be deadly, and can push democracy past the brink,” the watchdog The Real Facebook Oversight Board said of the new report, adding that Kenya at the moment is a “microcosm of everything that's wrong” with Facebook owner Meta.
“The question is, who should ask Facebook to step up and do its work?” asked Leah Kimathi, a Kenyan consultant in governance, peace and security, who suggested that government bodies, civil society and consumers all can play a role. “Facebook is a business. The least they can do is ensure that something they’re selling to us is not going to kill us.” | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Study-Facebook-fails-to-catch-East-Africa-17242540.php | 2022-06-15T07:15:59Z | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Study-Facebook-fails-to-catch-East-Africa-17242540.php | false | 41 |
NEW DELHI (AP) — U.S. media giant Walt Disney and India’s Reliance Industries have won the broadcasting rights for the Indian Premier League for more than $6 billion, making the Twenty20 cricket competition one of the most lucrative sports leagues in the world in terms of cost per game.
An IPL match is billed in rights value ahead of English Premier League soccer’s $11.8 million per game, Indian media reported Wednesday. The combined value of the rights was estimated to be almost double the 2018-22 deal.
Disney-owned Star India retained the IPL television broadcast rights to the annual two-month tournament for the 2023-27 period for 235.75 billion Indian rupees ($3.02 billion), said Jay Shah, secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, at the end of the auction process Tuesday.
Viacom18, a broadcasting joint venture run by Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries won digital streaming rights for 237.58 billion rupees ($3.04 billion).
"IPL is an important component of our portfolio of television channels in India, providing an incredible opportunity for us to showcase The Walt Disney Company’s powerful global brands and iconic storytelling, as well as Disney Star’s impressive collection of local original content, to millions of viewers in India,” Rebecca Campbell, Chairperson of the International Content and Operations, The Walt Disney Company, said in a statement.
Cricket stars from all over the world participate in the IPL, which the BCCI started in 2008 as a way of retaining its top talent while attracting new fans to the fastest format of the international game.
The Gujarat Titans won the 2022 edition, beating Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets in the final on May 29. India's national team is already back in action, hosting South Africa in a limited-overs series.
The Walt Disney Company will also be exploring other multiplatform cricket rights, including future rights for the International Cricket Council and the Board of Control for Cricket in India, which it currently holds through the 2023 and 2024 seasons, respectively, Campbell said.
In 2023 and 2024, the IPL will stage 74 matches per season and it will grow to 84 matches per season in 2025 and 2026.
“Ultimately, India could become like the U.S. in baseball or basketball: the home of a league so lucrative and so international in its player pool that it would no longer need the cash it once generated from bilateral international fixtures,” respected cricket analyst Sharda Ugra wrote in an article for the Hindustan Times.

BURNLEY have finally confirmed Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany as their new manager.
The 36-year-old has been heavily linked with the vacant hotseat at Turf Moor after leaving his post at Anderlecht.
Four-time Premier League winner Kompany will now be tasked with securing an instant return to the top-flight following the Clarets' relegation to the Championship.
The Belgian icon has returned to England after departing the Etihad for Anderlecht in 2019.
After taking the reigns at Anderlecht in 2020, Kompany won 42 out of his 92 matches in charge, losing on just 18 occasions.
He guided the club to third spot in the 2021-22 season to secure European football, while his side also finished as runners-up in the Belgian Cup final.
And the ex-defender has expressed his excitement at getting stuck into his new job in Lancashire.
He told the club's website: "Burnley Football Club is a truly historic English side and it is an honour to be appointed first-team manager.
“I’m excited by the challenge ahead.
"I’m looking forward to getting to work with the players and creating a positive, winning team for our fans when we return to Turf Moor.

“Vincent has shown impressive credentials in leading one of Belgium’s biggest teams back to European football and a Cup Final last season.

Which Syma drone is best?
Syma is one of the few drone makers with its own designing and manufacturing facilities. So whether you’re looking for a mini drone to fly around the house or a larger model for high-quality productions, there should be a model for you, often at a fraction of the price of those offered by market leader DJI. An excellent choice for an all-around great drone is the Syma EX500 4K Drone With UHD Camera.
What to know before you buy a Syma drone
Video recording capabilities
Most people fly drones because they want to capture photos or videos from angles few have attempted. The key to taking the perfect shot is having an excellent camera on the drone. But not all Syma drone cameras are the same, and you must be careful when picking one.
Consider what type of photography or video recording you want to do. If it’s for personal use, a 720p camera is perfect. However, if you want to sell your recordings, look for a 4K camera.
Limited range
All drones, not just Syma’s, have a limited operational range. That’s because the transmitters only function over a certain distance. But the limit to that distance increases exponentially as the transmitter’s signal is strengthened. Typically, smaller drones can fly about 300 feet in any direction from you, but more powerful ones can easily breach the 1,000-foot mark.
Registration with FAA
Depending on state laws and where you fly, you might be required to register your drone with the Federal Aviation Administration if you use it for commercial purposes. If your flying is purely recreational, there are still rules that you must follow.
- Keep your eye on it: You must keep your drone within the visual line of sight at all times.
- Yield: You must give way to, or not interfere with, manned aircraft.
- Stay low: Fly at or below 400 feet.
- Take the test: Where possible, take The Recreational UAS Safety Test, known as TRUST, and carry proof of the test with you.
What to look for in a quality Syma drone
Battery life and flying time
One of the most frustrating things about flying a drone is what’s often an extremely short battery life. Generally, smaller drones have a flying time of fewer than 10 minutes, as the batteries are relatively heavy. However, some larger Syma drones have two built-in rechargeable batteries that can get you a combined flying time of just under an hour.
Storage capacity
Internal storage isn’t something potential drone pilots usually think about, but it’s critical if you want to back up or store your footage. Most Syma drones can transmit photos and video to a paired mobile device, but a good-quality Syma drone has a memory card slot for additional storage. The maximum capacity depends on the drone model, but it’s typically around 64 gigabytes. That is more than enough for a high-quality 4K video.
Additional flying features
Flying a drone in circles around a subject or shooting into the air for an aerial photo might seem like the only function you need, but there are many other additional aspects to make it easier. A good-quality Syma drone has several Return To Home settings when out of range or the battery is running low, GPS tracking, drawing a custom flight path or altitude monitoring for smooth flying.
How much you can expect to spend on a Syma drone
The average price of a Syma drone depends on its technology and size. A mini drone with a 720p camera retails for $50-$70, while a powerful drone with an hour’s flying time and a 4K camera sells for $200-$350.
Syma drone FAQ
Where is Syma based?
A. Just like its competitor DJI, Syma operates from Shantou City in the Guangdong area of China. It makes remotely controlled devices that include GPS drones, folding drones, boats and helicopters.
Why do drones have poor battery life?
A. As with any technology, the more internal components and functions, the more battery power is needed. Rechargeable batteries are relatively heavy, and the drone must be able to lift them. Additionally, components such as a 4K camera, GPS tracking and image transmission all sap power quickly.
What’s the best Syma drone to buy?
Top Syma drone
Syma EX500 4K Drone With UHD Camera
What you need to know: It might not have the best Syma technology, but the X500 is the best overall drone for aerial photography and getting close to the action.
What you’ll love: The EX500 comes with two batteries to give you a flying time of 55 minutes. Since it weighs less than 10 ounces, you don’t need to register your flying with the FAA, even though the transmitter has a maximum altitude of 10,000 feet. Its 4K camera can tilt 90 degrees vertically, and it can find its way home with built-in GPS technology.
What you should consider: You’ll never reach the 10,000-foot transmitter limit as the drone can only fly safely at a maximum altitude of 328 feet, or 1,148 feet in terrestrial distance.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Top Syma drone for the money
Syma X400 Mini Drone With Camera
What you need to know: Perfect for kids or young adults, this drone has a 720p forward-facing camera and a first-person view flying mode.
What you’ll love: You can make it take off and land by pressing one button, so it’s easy to operate. Its small size lets you get close to the action without being an obstruction, and it can perform 360-degree stunt flips.
What you should consider: Due to its smaller size and battery, you’ll only get about six or seven minutes of flying time.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Worth checking out
Syma X650 GPS Drone With 4K Camera
What you need to know: This is excellent if you want to fly high and for long periods to capture the perfect view.
What you’ll love: With two rechargeable batteries, its total flight time is almost an hour. The front-facing adjustable camera tilts 90 degrees vertically and has a 120-degree field of view. For recording videos, it has a 4K sensor with electric image stabilization. It has a transmitter range of 437 yards.
What you should consider: It stores higher-resolution videos and photos on an internal memory card, but low-resolution photos are sent to a mobile device.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Railroad contract talks remain deadlocked after more than two years of negotiations, so President Joe Biden will likely soon have to appoint a board to help settle the dispute.
The National Mediation Board determined Tuesday that mediation isn’t working in the joint talks that cover roughly 140,000 workers in 13 unions at the biggest freight railroads. They deliver the raw materials many companies rely upon, as well as the cars, chemicals and containers full of consumer goods the companies make.
The federal law that governs the contract talks says arbitration is the next step, but both sides have to accept that and the unions have said they won’t. That means Biden is expected to appoint a Presidential Emergency Board to investigate why the two sides haven’t been able to reach a deal and make recommendations.
The unions are optimistic that a board appointed by a self-described pro-union president will be sympathetic to their side, while helping bring the two sides closer together. That board’s recommendations are likely to trigger a new round of negotiations.
But the workers are also frustrated after not getting any raises since 2019 and enduring increasingly strict attendance policies that BNSF and Union Pacific have imposed. They want to be compensated for keeping the railroads running during the pandemic and they want their pay to increase enough to offset inflation.
Plus, they have seen nearly one-third of the union jobs eliminated at the major freight railroads in recent years as railroads overhauled their operations.
The unions also vehemently oppose railroad proposals to cut rail crews from two people down to one.
“The railroads have still refused to make an offer remotely close to what their employees would consider ratifying,” said Dennis Pierce, the national president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen.
The unions say the tough workplace rules that BNSF and Union Pacific adopted without negotiating make it difficult to take any time off.
Rutgers University professor Todd Vachon, who teaches classes about labor relations, said the railroad contract dispute predates the recent spate of strikes, but the ongoing labor shortages may have the unions feeling more emboldened about pressing their complaints. He said it will be interesting to see what happens if the disagreement falls to Congress to resolve because “the political stakes feel much greater now” and public support for unions is higher than in the past.
“Given that the railways extend through red states and blue states and employ workers of various political persuasions, it could make for interesting bedfellows as elected leaders jockey to position themselves in a positive light,” Vachon said.
The National Carriers’ Conference Committee that represents UP, BNSF, CSX, Norfolk Southern, Kansas City Southern and other railroads said it’s disappointed that mediation failed.
“It remains in the best interests of all parties — and the public – to settle this dispute, provide for prompt pay increases for all rail employees, and prevent rail service disruptions,” the NCCC said.
A strike, which wouldn’t be allowed unless the presidential board fails and Congress refuses to intervene in the dispute, could prove disastrous for the fragile supply chain that is still struggling to recover from the worker shortages during the pandemic.
The railroads are already having trouble delivering goods on time this year largely because they can’t hire workers quickly enough to keep their trains moving on schedule as companies try to ship more. The railroads have said the main solution to their current shipping problems will be hiring and training hundreds of additional workers — something Pierce suggests would be much easier if the railroads would offer workers a better deal.
“Treating people like this, you just can’t expect people to come work for you,” he said. | https://www.wvnstv.com/news/business/railroad-talks-stall-so-biden-likely-to-pick-review-board/ | 2022-06-15T07:37:56Z | https://www.wvnstv.com/news/business/railroad-talks-stall-so-biden-likely-to-pick-review-board/ | false | 33 |

The Duke Group has partnered with Omnicom Media Group (OMG) South Africa to launch Fame - an independent, locally owned, specialist media agency to be spearheaded by managing director, Amy Leibbrandt. She spoke to us about her vision for Fame and her plans on how to achieve this.
How did you get involved in media? After high school and a gap year in London, I completed my BA Marketing degree at the AAA School for Advertising. Having completed all three specialities, namely brand, account and media management, I felt media best suited to my personality and strengths. I love working with people but at the same time, I’m equally as comfortable focusing on the detail and data that comes with media. Media gives me the best of both worlds.
What is your vision for Fame? My vision for Fame is to provide not only strong strategic thinking and value to clients’ brands but to deliver excellent client service and innovative solutions to all the stakeholders within the business.
I also hope to nurture and grow young, new talent in the media industry, as the business develops and grows.
How will you go about accomplishing this? We are lucky enough to be a part of the Duke group, while at the same time, have access to amazing tools from the OMG business.
This gives us a competitive edge when it comes to really looking at media as an art and a science.
Over the past few years, pure costs and performance have driven a lot of clients’ media-marking decisions, with significant pressure on business and the bottom line (especially throughout lockdown).
We overlay this thinking with a strategic approach, to ensure that we deliver on clients’ needs in a way that is right for the brand and its consumers.
I also want to get young people excited about the media industry again, and for them to look at the opportunities available as viable and exciting career options. I truly believe this is where growth, innovation and great work will come from.
What excited you the most about your new role and Fame? I was excited to work as part of a full-service agency team again; the excitement of physically being in the same space as great creative teams is inspiring.
I also love the fact that we are part of the Duke group with its specialist partners, such as Dialogue, Champ, Mark1, Nude and Duchess which lets us deliver on any and all clients’ needs - all under one roof.
How does it fit into the rest of the Duke business? We partner with Duke and the other specialist agencies to fill the media role for their clients and vice-versa. We also work independently with other creative, specialist agencies and clients throughout South Africa.
What do you think is the biggest skill you bring to the role? I have worked in this industry for almost two decades, so my experience has been peppered across a great number of brands and categories. This gives me a holistic view and strong strategic base, not only with media, but with brands and consumers as a whole.
Secondary to that, I love working with people and developing close relationships with my clients and colleagues. At the end of the day, we are partners with the same goal.
Issued by DUKE 8 Jun 2022
How has media buying changed? There is so much pressure on business, that media seems to have become very transactional.
Clients are wanting the very best results at the cheapest cost, sometimes at the sacrifice of innovation or really great ideas.
We are having to be smarter in our decision-making to ensure that we can tick those budget boxes, but still do work that is memorable, relevant, and interesting.
What do you love the most about media / your job in media? I love that media is constantly evolving. Every time I meet with a new media partner, I am blown away by the evolution of media – from the time I was studying (before Facebook had been created) and now – it makes our jobs increasingly challenging, but I love that we are forced to stay immersed and are constantly learning.
What do you do when you are not working? I am a mom to a 12-year-old tween, so my free time revolves mostly around his sport and social schedule, which I love, but leaves little free time for myself. Other than that, I spend my time doing pole fitness, dancing, looking after my pets and eating my way through Cape Town’s restaurants. | https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/15/228741.html | 2022-06-15T07:46:43Z | https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/15/228741.html | false | 1 |

India has once again condemned the brutal attack of the Myanmar coup on its citizens at the international forum on Tuesday. Like earlier, this time too, New Delhi appealed to the junta to restore all the rights of the countrymen who have been facing illegal detention and killing since February last year. While expressing concern over the military regime, India, during the ongoing 50th session of the Human Rights Council, appealed to the junta to return to the path of democracy at the earliest.
From the Indian side, Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Indramani Pandey, during the Interactive Dialogue on the Oral Update of the High Commissioner on the situation of Human Rights in Myanmar, underscored that his country shares a long border with Naypyidaw and added the ongoing turbulence has directly impacted New Delhi.

He maintained that the women and children are the worst sufferers of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Myanmar and added New Delhi will always stand beside it when it comes to supplying developmental and humanitarian assistance. He informed that India has already provided more than 10,000 tons of rice and wheat to Myanmar under grant assistance to alleviate the current food shortage situation in the country. Besides, India has also given vaccines to Myanmar to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, he said.
Further, he noted that the safety and security of the people of Myanmar remain India's utmost priority. "India emphasized its interest in seeing Myanmar's return to democracy at the earliest; release of detainees and prisoners; resolution of issues through mutual dialogue, and complete cessation of all violence," said Pandey. "We have concerns over violence perpetrated by any side. Peaceful dialogue and reconciliation involving all stakeholders is the only way forward," he added. "Progress must be made on humanitarian assistance for the population in need. We also call for a credible political process with the participation of all stakeholders. India will work towards facilitating that larger objective," Pandey noted.
The military takeover in the country met with massive public protests that resulted in a lethal crackdown by security forces who routinely fire live ammunition into crowds. According to a tally kept by the independent Assistance Association for Political Prisoners, at least 1,887 people have been killed in the protest. Casualties are also rising among the military and police as armed resistance grows in both urban and rural areas. | https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/rest-of-the-world-news/india-at-un-expresses-grave-concern-over-human-rights-violations-by-myanmars-junta-regime-articleshow.html | 2022-06-15T07:47:47Z | https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/rest-of-the-world-news/india-at-un-expresses-grave-concern-over-human-rights-violations-by-myanmars-junta-regime-articleshow.html | true | 1 |
Garmin Approach review
It may not be hard to play golf, but it certainly takes time to perfect, and playing the perfect game could end up becoming a lifelong pursuit.
That’s why Garmin created the Approach S62, a GPS golf watch. According to Garmin, this device comes preloaded with over 41,000 golf courses. It has a built-in Virtual Caddie feature that suggests which club to use based on your typical swing. The PlaysLike distance feature converts uphill and downhill shots into flat yardage, so you get the most accurate information possible. Plus, you don’t have to worry about running out of power because the battery lasts up to 20 hours, even in GPS mode.
This sounded like an excellent way to potentially step up our golf game, so we tested the Garmin Approach S62 GPS Golf Watch and here’s what we found.
Testing the Garmin Approach S62 GPS Golf Watch
Our tester plays golf over 50 times each year, but they have never owned a golf watch. They use a rangefinder for every game and apps for additional information, especially when playing a new course. Our tester used the Garmin Approach S62 for several rounds of golf to get a thorough understanding of how it works in a real-world setting. During those games, they took extensive notes regarding battery life, display readability, Virtual Caddie performance, comfort and more.
What is the Garmin Approach S62 GPS Golf Watch?
The Approach S62 looks like a regular, casual watch you could wear every day. With just a few clicks, however, you start to uncover this device’s power. We were shocked to find out how much information the Garmin Golf Watch could provide. The Approach S62 can keep track of your score and distances. It can also help you avoid hazards, determine the safest path on the fairway, see what blind shots look like and more.
Garmin Approach S62 Golf GPS Watch price and where to buy
The Garmin Approach S62 GPS Golf Watch is currently available for $449.99 at Amazon and Dick’s Sporting Goods (regularly $499.99).
How to use the Garmin Approach S62 GPS Golf Watch
Setup
This device is very easy to set up. The first thing you need to do is charge it. If the battery is completely depleted, it will take about four hours to charge. This charge will last you a few days. Then, download and register the app on your phone and connect to the device. While the operation is intuitive, we highly recommend familiarizing yourself with the Garmin for about 30 minutes before taking it out for a round.
Overview
This watch is a great asset to have on the course. When you press different spots on the course map, it tells you the yardage to that spot. We found the distance to be extremely accurate, and the watch compensates for slope differences. It also alerts you to wind speed. The PinPointer feature comes in handy as it shows you the direction of the pin, even if you’re in a blind spot. After you complete a hole, the Garmin reminds you to enter your score.
Virtual Caddie
The Virtual Caddie feature is amazing. The Approach S62 takes into account all the possible factors of each shot and provides you with information that helps you make the best decision. Since the watch needs to learn how you play, it took us about five rounds before it became really effective. Once it learns your game, however, it can take you to the next level.
Screen
The screen on the Garmin GPS Golf Watch is large, colorful and easy to read at a glance. We used it in the bright sun of California and Arizona and had no problem viewing the display. As a comparison, it was much easier to see than the in-cart monitor, so we were very happy with its performance.
Independence
It was really important for us to have a device that functioned without needing to have a smartphone nearby. We found the watch could perform all its functions, with the exception of displaying wind readings, without the phone being in close proximity. This gives the Garmin Golf Watch a major advantage over Apple Watch golf tracking.
Battery life
Another feature that sets this watch above its competitors is the battery life. We wore this watch continuously for several days on a single charge. However, we did charge it before a round to make sure it didn’t die in the middle of a game. Considering its size, features and the amount of data exchanged during a round, we expected this watch to have poor battery life, but we were pleasantly surprised.
Comfort
This watch wears like a typical watch; the weight and size are not really noticeable in everyday scenarios. The band is sweatproof and comfortable. The only minor downside is you can accidentally bump the “End Round” button since the watch face is a bit large.
Garmin Approach S62 GPS Golf Watch benefits
The Garmin Golf Watch offers the kind of performance and detail you can’t get with other smartwatches. It’s comfortable, versatile, easy to see and has an extensive database of courses. The Virtual Caddie and PlaysLike features can elevate your game, while the impressive battery life ensures you’ll have power throughout the entire day.
Garmin Approach S62 GPS Golf Watch drawbacks
The Approach S62 is a premium golf watch, so it carries a steep price. However, it’s well worth the investment if you’re a serious golf player. Also, it might take a few rounds before you get the most out of this watch, but that’s only because it has so much to offer. The only issue we had was occasionally bumping the “End Round” button during the follow-through of our swing, which may be a non-issue for others. Besides that, there are no significant drawbacks.
Should you get the Garmin Approach S62 GPS Golf Watch?
We love the Garmin Approach S62 GPS Golf Watch and would highly recommend it to any golfer, whether they just enjoy it as a hobby or they’re serious about playing a more consistent game. The bottom line is this is a great product that fulfills all the manufacturer’s promises.
Consider other products
Garmin Approach S40 GPS Golf Smartwatch
If you like Garmin products but want something in a lower price range, this model may fit your needs. It provides the essentials and is a solid value, but it doesn’t have the advanced functionality that the S62 has, such as the Virtual Caddie and PlaysLike features.
Sold by Amazon
Shot Scope V3 GPS & Performance Golf Watch
If budget is a primary concern and you don’t care about bells and whistles like graphics, this is a good golf watch for you. It measures distance down to the yard and tracks your shots. It’s simple to use, and the battery lasts for up to two rounds of play.
Sold by Amazon and Dick’s Sporting Goods
Bushnell Golf Tour V5 Patriot Pack
If you prefer using a rangefinder, this impressive model from Bushnell Golf offers a good balance between price and features. The unit vibrates when you’ve locked onto the pin so you’re certain of its accuracy. If you use the app, you can unlock vital information such as hole layouts, 3D flyovers and more.
