Ulaanbaatar [Mongolia], June 16 (ANI/Xinhua): Mongolia's Khuvsgul Lake National Park has been added to the World Network of Biosphere Reserves of UNESCO, the Ministry of Environment and Tourism said Thursday.
The decision was made during the 34th session of the International Co-ordinating Council of the Man and the Biosphere Programme taking place in Paris, France, from Monday to Friday, the ministry said in a statement.
Khuvsgul Lake is located in the northern Mongolian province of Khuvsgul near the Russian border, holding nearly 70 per cent of Mongolia's fresh water, or 0.4 per cent of the world's total.
The lake is 1,645 meters above sea level, 136 km long and 262 meters deep.
A total of nine sites from Mongolia have so far been registered in the network, according to the ministry.
The Man and the Biosphere Programme is an intergovernmental scientific program set up by UNESCO in the early 1970s with the aim of establishing a scientific basis for enhancing the relationship between people and their environments.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Two people were pronounced dead early Thursday after a shooting in East Hartford that police said may have been precipitated by a targeted home invasion.
Neighbors reported hearing several gunshots just before midnight Wednesday inside the home.
Police said they found two victims inside. Both were transported to a local hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
Police said the sole resident of the home said he shot the men with his registered gun after they forced their way into the duplex.
Police said all of those involved knew each other and they don't believe the public is in any danger.
No charges had been filed Thursday morning as police investigated the shooting. They said the resident of the home is cooperating with the investigation. | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Police-2-men-killed-by-resident-during-home-17245895.php | 2022-06-16T16:22:15Z | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Police-2-men-killed-by-resident-during-home-17245895.php | true | null |

On May 25, 2022, the Alberta Court of Appeal released its decision for Condominium Corporation No. 0522151 (Somerset Condominium) v JV Somerset Development Inc., 2022 ABCA 193 ("JV Somerset"). Roberto Noce, Q.C. and Michael Gibson of Miller Thomson LLP acted for the appellant, Condominium Corporation No. 0522151 (the "Corporation").
In JV Somerset, the developer, JV Somerset Developments Inc. (the "Respondent"), constructed a 215-unit condominium, the units of which were sold to members of the public in late 2004 or early 2005. In or around 2012, significant damage to the balconies was discovered due to deficiencies in the waterproof membranes. The Corporation replaced all the balconies and sued the Respondent for the cost of repairing the deficiencies, framing the claim in tort and breach of fiduciary duty.1 In their defence, the Respondent asserted that a developer, which is a defined term under the Condominium Property Act, RSA 2000, c-22, could not be liable in tort if it was not involved in the physical construction of the building.
The Respondent brought an Application for Summary Judgment and the chambers judge summarily dismissed the Corporation's claim on the basis that "there was no evidence that the developer was actually involved in the physical construction" of the building. In effect, the chambers judge's decision held that "a developer who is not actively involved in the construction has no duty of care to detect or prevent defects in construction, and is not vicariously liable for any breaches by the contractor or subcontracts."2
The Court of Appeal, represented by the Honourable Justices Slatter, Strekaf and Hughes, overturned the chambers judge's decision, holding that "the liability in tort of a developer like the respondent for repairing construction deficiencies that pose a real and substantial risk of harm is unclear" and that is was "not possible to dispose of the [Corporation's] claim on a summary basis." The action was ordered to continue to trial.3
The Court of Appeal's decision is important for two reasons. First, the Court of Appeal provides a thoughtful outline of the potential avenues for liability of a developer for construction deficiencies, which includes contractual liability, tortious liability, or a breach of statutory duties.4 Second, in the Court's discussion of tortious liability, the Court of Appeal left open the possibility of a developer not actively involved in construction being liable in tort to subsequent purchasers under the principles established in Winnipeg Condominium Corporation No. 36 v Bird Construction Co., [1995] 1 SCR 85 ("Winnipeg Condominium").
In Winnipeg Condominium, an action was brought against a general contractor and its subcontractors for the cost of replacing the building's cladding when a large section of the cladding on the ninth floor fell to the ground. However, the developer in Winnipeg Condominium, who played a similar role to the Respondent, was not sued.5 The Court in that decision found that a contractor could owe a duty in tort to subsequent purchasers if it could be established that it was "foreseeable that a failure to take reasonable care in constructing the building would create defects that posed a substantial danger to the health and safety of the occupants. If the danger actually manifested itself and caused personal injury or damage the contractor would be liable."6Alternatively, if the damage was identified and remedied before actual injury or damage occurred, then that cost was recoverable. The duty in tort to construct a building in such a manner to not contain dangerous defects arises independently of any contract.7
The Court of Appeal declined to provide a definitive answer on the applicability of Winnipeg Condominium to the facts of JV Somerset on the record before it. However, the Court noted that it was "arguable" that the principles in Winnipeg Condominium respecting construction defects that present a real and substantial danger that apply to contractors could extend to developers.8 While a full trial or, alternatively, a future decision on a separate matter, will be required to definitively answer this question, JV Somerset serves as a cautionary tale to developers looking to avoid tortious liability for construction defects by never picking up a hammer.
JV Somerset was recently featured as the Court of Appeal decision of the week by Supreme Advocacy LLP. Read the synopsis.

University Heights redevelopment: Businesses close as construction ramps up
The University Heights redevelopment project in Saanich is moving from concept to reality as many retailers have closed, or are about to, including a major grocery store.
Save-On-Foods will be one of the last tenants to vacate the shopping plaza to make way for a massive mixed use development on the block bounded by Cedar Hill Road, McKenzie Avenue and Shelbourne Street.
The sign on the grocery store says it will close on June 25 and will be “gone for a while” during the mall renovation.
Some work has already begun at the site, with demolition of the entire mall beginning coming this fall.
Construction on four new buildings, comprised of rental apartments and commercial retail space, will be phased in over the next four years.
“It’s going to be a total live, work, play community,” says Matt Woodland, the managing director for Greystar Canada, the U.S.-based real-estate and property company responsible for the development.
“We’re delivering 592 rental units, a substantial portion of that is going to be affordable as well.”
Many of the rental units will be geared towards UVic students, offering hundreds of micro and studio sized housing apartments, with such amenities such as common study spaces.
“It’s a pretty chronically under-supplied market,” says Woodland. “So we’re going to cater some of the buildings to look a little bit more like student-oriented apartments and a couple of the buildings more like conventional rental apartments. So we’re catering to both the student demographic and the broader Saanich, Victoria market as well.”
There will also be a daycare up to 11,000 square feet in size, cycling infrastructure, a public plaza, community spaces, a BC Transit hub, electric vehicle charging infrastructure and modern, new commercial space.
“It’s going to be completely revitalized,” says Woodland. “More street-facing retail, grocery store, drug stores, banks, a variety of restaurants and food and beverage operators, so it will feel a lot more like a dynamic community.”
The existing mall was originally built in the early 1970s, then renovated and revitalized in the 1980s with the addition of a four-screen theatre, expanded retail and underground parking.
The redevelopment proposal was initially presented in 2017 and underwent several redesigns, community consultations and public hearings before being approved by Saanich council earlier this spring.
The existing Home Depot store on the same property is expected to remain open during the redevelopment and will also undergo an expansion and upgrades itself.
An Esso gas station at the corner of Mckenzie Avenue and Shelbourne Street will also remain.

Youth facing charges after another threat discovered at Cambridge school
The Waterloo Regional Police Service says another threat was made at a Cambridge school and one youth is now facing charges.
On Tuesday, police received a report of "concerning" graffiti at Preston High School.
They said the threats referenced potential violence towards the school, staff and students.
The graffiti was located in one washroom and the cafeteria.
Police said they arrested a youth on Wednesday and charged them with two counts of uttering threats and two counts of mischief under $5,000.
This is just the latest incident reported in Cambridge schools.
Threats were also reported at Monsignor Doyle Catholic Secondary School on June 10, as well as Avenue Road Public School and St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School on June 8. All of those involved graffiti found in washrooms and were determined to be non-viable.
Police have not said if any other arrests were made in those incidents.

Chief Superintendent Gerard Roche
ALMOST half of assault victims in Limerick do not make a formal complaint to gardai even when they have sustained serious injuries, the head of the Limerick garda division has revealed.
The number of assault incidents, particularly late at night, has risen substantially across the city and county this year – in line with the re-opening of the night time economy.
Assault incidents, many of which are related to alcohol use, increased by 95% in the Limerick garda division during the first five months of this year compared to the same period in 2021.
The number of assaults more than doubled (+123%) in the Roxboro Road district while there was a 98% increase in the Henry Street district.
Assaults have also increased significantly in the Bruff and Newcastle West districts but the number of incidents in both areas is considerably lower than in the city (23 in Bruff and 39 in Newcastle West).
Briefing members of the Limerick Joint Policing Committee on the latest crime trends Chief Superintendent Gerard Roche said a significant number of victims, including some who have been stabbed, do not co-operate with the subsequent garda investigation.
“An awful lot of what we call Section 3 assaults, which involve somebody getting punched or having teeth knocked out or getting hit or whatever, we are not getting complaints,” he said.
“At least 40 or 50% of people who are reporting it on the night don’t follow up with a complaint – even ones where we have stabbings and even ones where there have been very serious assaults with weapons,” he added.
Chief Supt Roche told the quarterly meeting the trend of non-reporting was discussed by local garda management recently and that a number of reasons have been identified for complaints not being made.
“Sometimes it’s between individuals who may have resolved things themselves and there are others who, for one reason or another, just don’t follow up,” he said.
While gardai do not receive complaints from a large number of assault victims, investigation files are compiled and retained in each case while the Victim Service Office will also make contact with and liaise with those who have been attacked and who may have sustained injuries.

Swedish furniture giant Ikea is folding up its Russian presence, planning to lay off staff, shut offices and sell factories.
This adds the world's largest furniture brand to the list of Western corporations fully exiting Russia as the war in Ukraine grinds into its fourth month.
Ikea first opened in Moscow in 2000, with officials welcoming "a new period of stability" in the country that portended the growth of a Russian middle class.
In March, as Russia escalated its invasion of Ukraine, Ikea and many others temporarily shut stores and paused shipments of supplies. Ikea at the time said this affected some 15,000 employees.
Now, as the war shows no signs of ending, Ikea says it will "further scale down" its business both in Russia and ally Belarus. This includes shuttering offices in Moscow and Minsk, cutting jobs, permanently closing its 17 stores and trying to sell its four factories.
"Unfortunately the circumstances have not improved and the devastating war continues," Ikea said in a statement. "Businesses and supply chains across the world have been heavily impacted and we do not see that it is possible to resume operations any time soon."
Last month, global brands McDonald's and Starbucks also said they would formally exit the Russian market, after 32 and 15 years in business respectively. McDonald's sold all 800-some stores to a Russian franchisee, who relaunched the chain on Sunday with a very similar menu but under a new brand "Vkusno i Tochka," translating roughly as "Delicious, that's all."
For Ikea, Russia had been one of the fastest-growing markets, as shoppers clamored for its affordable home furnishings in the explosion of consumer culture that followed the economic calamity of the 1990s.
Ikea first welcomed Russian shoppers to a store in suburban Moscow in 2000 — just as President Vladimir Putin began his first term — and tens of thousands of people formed long lines outside, with traffic backing up for miles.
This week, Dutch holding company Ingka, which runs Russian Ikea stores, said it would sell out the home furnishing inventory it still has in the country. Ingka, also a mall operator, has so far kept open its "Mega"-branded shopping centers in Russia, previously saying this was to give people access to essentials such as food and medicine.

BERKELEY, Calif., June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Alameda County District Attorney's office dismissed all the felony charges against Finn Wolff on March 30, 2022, after it was found that during cross-examination at the preliminary examination hearing, while under oath, the two witnesses admitted to numerous falsities and admitted to destroying text messages and other key evidence which exonerated Mr. Wolff and proved his innocence, according to Mr. Wolff's attorney Colin Cooper.
Had the key evidence proving Mr. Wolff's innocence not been hidden by the witnesses, it would have likely prevented Mr. Wolff from ever being arrested. The District Attorney's office, thereafter, dismissed all of the felony charges against Mr. Wolff and both his false arrest and all charges stemming from that arrest have been completely removed and expunged from his record.
Mr. Wolff was proven to be falsely accused of sexual assault in 2019 and arrested based on false pretenses regarding incidents that had allegedly occurred more than a year earlier. Numerous felony charges were filed against Mr. Wolff based on unchallenged accusations made by two witnesses, which were later proven to be completely false when key evidence that was hidden by the witnesses was revealed.

When the omicron variant of COVID-19 emerged in South Africa late last year, it took only weeks to overtake delta, the variant that previously dominated. Then the original version of omicron was replaced by one subvariant, and then another. The latest subvariants, BA.4 and BA.5, are now quickly spreading in the U.S.
The virus is evolving so quickly that when Moderna recently announced preliminary results from the trial of its newest COVID-19 vaccine—the first designed to target both the original virus and omicron—the vaccine was already somewhat outdated since it wasn’t designed to stymie the newest subvariants. And when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) meets at the end of June to discuss whether the vaccine should be modified before the likely rollout of more booster shots in the fall, it will have to make decisions without knowing how the virus will continue to change.
“There’s no guarantee that the virus that we see in the fall or the winter will be an omicron-derived variant,” says Dr. William Moss, executive director of the International Vaccine Access Center at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Because omicron is so transmissible, he says that there’s a good chance it will still be around. But subvariants will look different than they do now. The FDA faces some difficult questions: How critical is it that the vaccine closely matches the virus? And if it is important, how much red tape should there be when new versions of the vaccine are created?
The original omicron variant has 60 mutations that make it possible for the virus to evade the antibodies generated by current vaccines, so it’s easier to get infected despite vaccination. One recent preprint paper suggests that BA.4 and BA.5, each with their own mutations, may be even better at evading antibodies. Current vaccines, though, still do a good job of protecting against severe disease by generating T cells, another key part of immunity.
“For antibodies to block the virus, they have to bind to a very small area called the receptor binding domain,” says Dr. Otto Yang, a professor of medicine in the division of infectious diseases and microbiology, immunology, and molecular genetics at UCLA. “If you look at a map of where these mutations are occurring in omicron and delta, they’re clustered around that area. So to the antibodies, they’re big, big changes. But the way T cells work is that they recognize tiny pieces of proteins that can be from anywhere, not just the receptor binding domain. If you look at omicron versus the original strain, they’re about 97% identical in sequence.”
Even as infections surged this spring in the U.S., vaccines helped keep the rate of hospitalization relatively low. T cells decline over time, which is why another booster shot may be necessary before another potential fall or winter surge; even a booster shot that doesn’t exactly match the current variant will be helpful in protecting against severe cases and hospitalizations. And something more tailored could potentially help even more.
The mRNA vaccine-development platform that both Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech used for their vaccines can be quickly adapted. BioNTech, for example, developed an early version of its vaccine targeting the delta variant in less than a month last year. (Pfizer and BioNTech will soon announce results for an omicron-specific vaccine they have been testing.) In theory, new vaccines could be developed and produced as new variants emerge. But regulators will have to decide in June whether each new version needs to go through new rounds of testing.
When the FDA meets, it might decide that COVID-19 vaccines should be treated more like flu vaccines, which are updated each year without the need for new approvals each time. The COVID-19 vaccines use a platform “that we already know is very safe, and the changes are fairly small,” Yang says. “So it may be worth just allowing the company to make versions like this much more quickly . . . with this technology, theoretically, you could reengineer a change within a few weeks and have it out.”
The FDA also will have to evaluate how much benefit new vaccines might bring. Moderna’s new vaccine, tested with a relatively small group of people, showed that it could help produce around 1.75 times more antibodies against omicron, though the increase “is not a huge boost,” says Moss. “We don’t know how long that’s going to last. And one big unanswered question in my mind is, what’s the clinical significance of that?” The tests didn’t evaluate the impact on T cells, which are harder to measure. Moderna also hasn’t shared data on how the vaccine performs against the newest subvariants, though the company told the New York Times that when it tested a small sample, levels of antibodies generated in those cases were two to three times lower than against the original version of omicron; the company said that those levels were still “a very comfortable place,” however.
If new versions of the vaccine can help prevent more infections—and not just severe disease—that would also be a good thing. “I think it would make more sense to update [vaccines] in real time,” says Yang. “Because if the vaccine is altered as the new version is starting to take over, you have the chance to actually slow it down. Part of what we want to do is protect vulnerable people in society that can’t get vaccinated, or [in whom] the vaccines don’t work.”
We may need to keep getting regular doses of updated COVID-19 vaccines, the same way flu shots come out each year. But there’s also a chance that we can reach a threshold of protection that’s longer-lasting. “It may be that after three or four vaccinations, the T cells won’t go down as fast,” he says. “Some vaccines require multiple doses—like the hepatitis B vaccine is three doses. Maybe for these vaccines, it’s simply a matter of needing three or four doses to get to a level where things are more stable. That’s not clear yet.” | https://www.fastcompany.com/90761539/as-the-coronavirus-evolves-how-should-your-next-vaccine-dose-change | 2022-06-16T16:43:25Z | https://www.fastcompany.com/90761539/as-the-coronavirus-evolves-how-should-your-next-vaccine-dose-change | false | 2 |
Milliner-to-the-stars, Gladys Tamez, unveils the summer's must-have hat, inspired by the award-winning El Tesoro™ Tequila, crafted in the highlands of Jalisco in her homeland of Mexico
LOS ANGELES, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- El Tesoro de Don Felipe® Tequila and Gladys Tamez Millinery (GTM) have teamed up to release a limited-edition hat inspired by Gladys' favorite tequila, El Tesoro™. Known as the "treasure of Jalisco" (Tesoro is the Spanish word for treasure), the premium tequila serves as the inspiration for the all-new design crafted by Gladys Tamez, Los Angeles' "milliner-to-the-stars." The luxury hat – named "The Tesoro" – is exclusive in design and is equally stylish for hombres y mujeres. Tequila fans and style enthusiast alike can purchase this summer's must-have fashion statement beginning June 14, 2022.
"The Tesoro" hat is made of 100% straw and sports the signature GTM crease down the center of the crown. The outside is adorned with a fine leather braid inspired by the leather artisans of Mexico and features a hand-engraved, antique-brushed brass agave medallion – a nod to the agave plants that are harvested to make the premium tequila. The inside rim of the hat boasts an in-seam custom ribbon that reads Gladys Tamez for El Tesoro™. Offered in unisex sizes S and M, "The Tesoro" is available for purchase at the Gladys Tamez Millinery studio in Los Angeles as well as online at www.gladystamez.com. The specialty piece is a limited-edition luxury fashion item of just 150 hats and sold for $210 USD.
Born in Texas, raised in Mexico and a proud female Latina entrepreneur, Gladys Tamez is known for creating custom hats for countless Hollywood A-listers in music, movies, fashion, sports and beyond. Gladys Tamez has a reputation for artistry, craftsmanship and style unrivaled by any other hatmaker in the US, delivering impeccable designs that keep her illustrious clients coming back for her custom looks time and again. Widely credited for bringing the western cowboy style hat out of the southern markets and into mainstream, high-fashion circles – her portfolio of work is reflective of stunning and timeless works worthy of global super-stardom.
Sharing those same qualities of artistry, craftsmanship and style, is El Tesoro Tequila, produced at La Alteña Distillery since 1937. Master Distiller Carlos Camarena, along with his sister Jenny Camarena, make El Tesoro using the same time-honored tradition their father and grandfather used, crafting tequila the old-fashioned way – by hand, using the materials of the earth to create a pure expression of agave. "The Tesoro" hat brings to life both artisan's shared values of quality and craft, honoring traditional wisdom and skill, and creating high art through shared passions: exceptional, premium tequila and luxury millinery.
"When El Tesoro and I came together to concept a custom hat inspired by their incredible tequila, it was an easy creative process for me from there," says Gladys Tamez. "I was immediately drawn to the beautiful packaging and presentation of the bottles, and the taste was like no other tequila I have ever tried. To understand how it is made and shared is to understand the soul of Mexico. It is truly an artist's brand that I am proud to collaborate with and celebrate – an authentic Mexican tequila that makes me extremely proud of my culture and homeland, the place where I was raised and discovered my passion for hat making."
The intersection between Gladys' aesthetic sensibilities and the El Tesoro brand world was fertile soil for creativity. Hats are worn regularly by the farmers, or los jimadores, at La Alteña Distillery, a mark of ease and function that inspired Gladys's timeless design that is built to last, along with the agave plant – the eternal source of life for El Tesoro Tequila that served as the muse for the piece.
The perfect accompaniment to "The Tesoro" bespoke hat is a bespoke cocktail created in collaboration with Gladys Tamez herself. Called the Tesoro Rosa, this delicious summertime sipper is a twist on the classic Ranch Water cocktail with elements of sweet and spiciness, two elements of Gladys' personality brought to life:

Gladys Tamez was born in Texas and grew up in Mexico. She studied art in Monterrey, Mexico and design in Florence, Italy. She has had a long love affair with hats that grew out of her upbringing among the corridas and traditions of Northern Mexico. Gladys' journey began when she didn't see any hats on the market that had the styling finesse and quality she was looking for and that motivated her to create her brand Gladys Tamez Millinery. Gladys' goal was to create a true luxury heritage product, not just a so called "luxury brand." For her, luxury is in the making. Her first collection was inspired by a dream she had where horses were galloping through space. This conceptual process that begins with a simple inspiration informs each collection. Art, sculpture, and historical fashion continue to be the visual narrative that makes her designs original and exciting. Gladys' first rule for her clients is that the hat should give and grow confidence. This imparting of individual confidence through design is at the heart of what keeps her engaged and passionate.

QPR confirm off-field departures as changes made ahead of new season
Queens Park Rangers have confirmed that John Eustace and Matt Gardiner have both left the club ahead of the new season.
The duo had been part of the backroom team with the R’s over the years, but there has obviously been a major change at the club in the summer as Mark Warburton was replaced by Michael Beale as the new boss.
And, that has prompted a shake-up in the staff, as the club announced this afternoon that Gardiner and Eustace had departed, with CEO Lee Hoos praising the pair for the work they’d done.
“John has been the ultimate professional from the moment he joined us four years ago. He has a fantastic attitude and is an incredibly hard-working individual.
“Matt has also been excellent to work with and demonstrated his flexibility and expertise by operating so well in both our scouting and coaching departments for the past four years.”
Eustace has been strongly linked with a reunion with Warburton at Birmingham City, as the former Rangers chief is tipped to take over once Laurence Bassini completes his takeover.
Have any of these 30 ex-QPR players ever played abroad?
The verdict
This makes sense as QPR are now under new management and this will free up space to allow Beale to bring in his own people, which is what he will want.
As well as that, Eustace and Gardiner may want to assess their other options and they will have felt a degree of loyalty to those that brought them in.
So, this is a good statement from Hoos and it appears as though it’s the right move for all parties ahead of a new era for the R’s.

Senate set to enhance benefits for vets exposed to burn pits
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is expected to approve on Thursday a large expansion of health care and disability benefits for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan in response to concerns about their exposure to toxic burn pits.
Passage of the bill will cap years of advocacy work by veterans groups and others who liken burn pits to the Agent Orange herbicide that Vietnam era veterans were exposed to in Southeast Asia.
The bill would expand the window of eligibility for free medical care through the Department of Veterans Affairs. That window would double for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans from five years after discharge to 10.
The legislation would also presume that certain respiratory illnesses and cancers were related to burn pit exposure, allowing the veterans to obtain disability payments to compensate for their injury without having to prove the illness was a result of their service. Currently, more than 70% of disability claims related to burn pit exposure are denied by the VA due to lack of evidence, scientific data and information from the Defense Department.
The legislation would also benefit many Vietnam War-era veterans by including high blood pressure in the list of conditions presumed to have been caused by exposure to Agent Orange. And, it would extend Agent Orange presumptions to veterans who served in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Guam and American Samoa.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said scores of America’s veterans went off to serve their country in perfect health only to come back and get sick from toxic exposure, and when they applied for disability benefits, oftentimes found out they didn’t qualify.
“It’s a confounding indignity for our nation’s heroes to sacrifice everything for our country only to come home, get sick and discover the VA is not there for them,” Schumer said. “They have to fend for themselves.”
The bill will increase federal spending by about $283 billion over 10 years and does not include offsetting spending cuts or tax increases to help pay for it. The House in March approved similar legislation that would have cost more than $320 billion over 10 years. The House will have to approve the Senate measure also to get it to President Joe Biden to be signed into law, and it is expected to do so.
The military routinely used open burn pits set ablaze with jet fuel to dispose of tires, batteries, medical waste and other materials during operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A 2020 study from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine found that health studies provided insufficient evidence to determine whether exposure to burn pit emissions is linked to 27 adverse respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis and lung cancer. The authors of the study said the uncertainty doesn’t mean that there is no association — only that there was insufficient data to draw definitive conclusions.
But lawmakers said that stories from constituents tell a different and more definitive tale, and they are reluctant to wait for an irrefutable link between veterans’ maladies and their exposure to toxic burn pits.
“Whenever you have to make that connection airtight, that’s difficult on many things,” said Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind. “In this case, I think the evidence is such that there’s some causal relationship. I hear from so many that were over there and got the symptoms fairly close after their service was over. That’s not now and then. You hear it fairly often.”
Most Republicans are expected to vote for the bill. About half of the GOP senators voted no on a procedural vote to advance the legislation, miffed about the inability to vote on amendments to the bill, but some indicated they will support final passage. Some also are expected to oppose the bill because of fiscal concerns.
“That’s way too much money,” said Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., of the projected $283 billion price tag.
An expansion of health care and disability benefits could tax an already stressed VA system, which lawmakers sought to address by authorizing 31 new medical clinics in 19 states and boosting investments in computer systems for the processing of disability claims.
Most Republicans in the House voted against that chamber’s version of the legislation. The Senate version trimmed some of the costs early on by phasing in certain benefit enhancements. Sen. Jon Tester, the chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, said the bill was “about righting a wrong that has been ignored too damn long.”
“There’s always cost of war,” Tester said, “and that cost is never fully paid when the war ends.”

BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — The Latest on the U.S. Open (all times local):
___
11:55 p.m.
Callum Tarren is the first one in the clubhouse and in the lead after a spectacular finish in the first round of the U.S. Open at The Country Club.
The 31-year-old Englishman shot a 3-under-par 67 on Thursday, picking up four strokes in four holes to move to the top of the leaderboard. David Lingmerth was also at 3 under, with a few holes to play.
Tarren was nowhere to be found on the leaderboard, still 1 over through 13 holes when he birdied the fifth and seventh holes and then made eagle on the 557-yard, par-5 eighth hole.
Amateur Stewart Hagestad and majors winners Collin Morikawa and Rory McIlroy were among those a stroke back at 2 under.
___
11:50 p.m.
Rory McIlroy took out his frustration on a sand trip on the approach to the fifth green in the first round of this year’s tournament at The Country Club.
The 2011 U.S. Open champion drove into the lip of a bunker on the right side of the 310-yard, par-4 hole. The ball was in deep grass, and McIlroy had to stand in the bunker below the ball to put a baseball swing on it.
After adjusting his feet several times — he kept slipping into the sand while he took aim — McIlroy knocked the ball straight into another bunker beside the green. That’s when he took two angry swings, sending sand flying.
McIlroy managed to hit his next shot onto the green and made a 12-footer to save par.
___
10:45 a.m.
Amateur Stewart Hagestad had back-to-back birdies on the seventh and eighth holes at The Country Club to move into a tie for the lead early in Thursday’s first round.
The 31-year-old Californian is playing in the U.S. Open for the fourth time. He has never made the cut. He also played in the Masters twice and was the low amateur at Augusta in 2017.
Hagestad was tied with reigning British Open champion Collin Morikawa. Matthew NeSmith was also at 3-under par.
2011 U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy was among those a stroke back at 2 under. Defending champion John Rahm dropped to 1 under after a bogey on the ninth hole.
___
9:45 a.m.
Jon Rahm’s defense of his U.S. Open title is off to a good start. The Spaniard is tied for the lead at 2-under par through his first eight holes at The Country Club.
Also at 2 under are 2020 PGA champ Collin Morikawa, South Carolina’s Matt NeSmith and Sebastian Munoz of Colombia.
All 78 players from the morning rounds are on the course. Earlier in the day, Abraham Ancer pulled out due to illness. He was replaced in the field by Patton Kizzire, who tees off in the afternoon.
Also playing late are Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed. They are among the most high-profile players who recently announced they would play in the new LIV Tour.
The new series and how it might impact professional golf has been a hot topic this week at The Country Club, which is hosting the U.S. Open for the first time since 1988.
___
6:50 a.m.
Finally, golf is the focus again in the U.S. Open.
Michael Thorbjornsen opened the 122nd edition of the toughest test in golf with a tee shot just right of the first fairway at The Country Club. The amateur who plays at Stanford grew up about 10 minutes away from Brookline.
The U.S. Open dipped into the alternate list for the first time. Abraham Ancer of Mexico withdrew because of an illness. He was replaced by Patton Kizzire.
Next in line if anyone else withdraws is Rickie Fowler.
The days leading into the U.S. Open were filled mostly with chatter and consternation about the Saudi-funded rebel series called LIV Golf that is offering big riches to Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and a dozen others who are in the U.S. Open.
The PGA Tour has suspended them, although the U.S. Open is run separately and is honoring the open nature of its championship.

Revlon has filed for bankruptcy as competition from newer brands and pandemic supply chain issues have battered sales.
The international beauty company, which sells products in more than 150 countries, has struggled with heavy debt. It listed $3.7 billion in total debts in a Wednesday court filing, much of it built up in trying to compete with cosmetic startups.
Many new cosmetic corporations are backed by celebrities who can rely on an existing fanbase to generate hype and sales, such as Rihanna's Fenty Beauty and Kylie Jenner's Kylie Cosmetics. Supply chain issues and labor shortages, exacerbated by the pandemic, have also proved challenging for Revlon.
"Consumer demand for our products remains strong — people love our brands, and we continue to have a healthy market position. But our challenging capital structure has limited our ability to navigate macro-economic issues in order to meet this demand," Debra Perelman, Revlon's president and CEO, said in a statement.
Revlon filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which will allow it to restructure its obligations to creditors while staying in business. It owns multiple brands, including Elizabeth Arden, which it bought in 2016 using mainly loans.
Revlon was founded in 1932 and began by selling nail polish. By 1957, it was selling lipsticks and had expanded its sales internationally. Throughout much of the 20th century, it was among the most popular beauty brands in the U.S. Billionaire Ron Perelman — Debra Perelman's father — bought the company in a hostile takeover in 1985. His holding company, MacAndrews & Forbes, owns the vast majority of the company's shares.
Debra Perelman became Revlon's first female CEO in 2018. She pledged to modernize the brand to compete with upstart companies and changing consumer tastes.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WBOY) – A group of U.S. senators, including West Virginia’s Joe Manchin, have introduced a bill that would require the federal government to only buy American flags that are produced entirely on American soil.
According to a release from Sen. Manchin, as of now, the federal government can purchase flags that contain only 50% American-made materials. The All-American Flag Act would prevent the federal government from buying and using any flag that was not produced entirely with American-made materials and manufactured completely in the United States.
Data from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Census said that in 2015, the U.S. imported $4.4 million worth of American flags, with $4 million of those imported from China. In 2017, the U.S. imported 10 million American flags; all but 50,000 of those came from China, Senator Manchin’s office pointed out.
“Every day, students, Veterans, soldiers, scouts and Americans pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. We salute it; we fight for it; we honor it and celebrate it,” Senator Manchin said. “I am proud to co-sponsor the bipartisan All-American Flag Act to require the federal government to purchase flags produced entirely on American soil with American materials, which will create good-paying jobs and spur economic growth across the country. I encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this important legislation and I look forward to getting it across the finish line and signed into law.”
The full list of sponsors for the bill is as follows: Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Rick Scott (R-Fla.).
“American flags should be made in America, period,” Senator Brown said. “Today, half of the materials that our women and men in uniform fight under can be made in China. We have to change that. We shouldn’t use taxpayer dollars to purchase American flags made overseas when American companies — and companies right here in Ohio — proudly produce the American flag. My bipartisan All-American Flag Act would ensure that the government buys flags that are entirely produced and manufactured in America, by American workers.”
“The American flag serves as a symbol of our identity, resolve, and values as one people. To honor its significance, the federal government should only use flags entirely manufactured in the United States,” Senator Collins said. “This bipartisan legislation will ensure that the symbol of our nation is preserved while supporting American jobs and manufacturers.”
“I am proud to join my colleagues in leading the All-American Flag Act to ensure that American flags, bought with American taxpayer dollars, flying over the property of America’s government are American made,” added Senator Scott. “There is absolutely no reason why taxpayer dollars should go to foreign governments to buy American flags. This legislation is a no-brainer. When I was governor of Florida we signed this commonsense legislation into law, and I am proud to continue this effort in the Senate. I encourage my colleagues to support its passage.”
Bipartisan companion legislation was introduced in the House of Representatives by Representatives Cheri Bustos (D-IL), Shontel Brown (D-OH), Tim Ryan (D-OH) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL). | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/national-news/bill-would-force-government-to-only-buy-american-made-flags/ | 2022-06-16T17:00:52Z | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/national-news/bill-would-force-government-to-only-buy-american-made-flags/ | true | 22 |
SALEM, Mass. (AP) — A former physical education teacher in Massachusetts has been charged with indecent assault and battery on 10 former female students.
Daniel Hakim, 36, was arrested Wednesday, according to the Salem Police Department. He faces 32 counts of aggravated indecent assault and battery.
Allegations about Hakim's conduct with female students first surfaced in 2018, three years after he began working at Salem's Saltonstall School. Hakim was suspended and lost his teaching license. Authorities investigated the claims at the time but didn’t move forward with prosecution until new allegations surfaced last year.
All 10 victims were students at the time of the alleged assault, according to the police report.
Hakim, a resident of North Andover, was scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in Salem Superior Court. It was unclear Thursday morning if he was represented by an attorney. A mess
Further details of the allegations have been withheld by authorities and school officials to protect the privacy of victims, according to a joint statement from Salem's mayor, police chief and schools superintendent. | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Ex-gym-teacher-charged-with-sexually-assaulting-17246044.php | 2022-06-16T17:01:31Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Ex-gym-teacher-charged-with-sexually-assaulting-17246044.php | false | 21 |
MADISON (WKOW) — The Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) is training 12 Critical Incident Response Teams (CIRTs) protect schools and students across the state.
Trained by the Office of School Safety (OSS), the CIRTs are regionally-based teams who will support all Wisconsin K-12 public, private, charter and tribal schools if a critical incident occurs at their school.
According to the OSS, a school-related critical incident is a sudden or unexpected event or series of events that can cause trauma within a school community. Examples include threats or acts of violence, natural disasters, serious injuries to students or staff, suicide, weather-related disasters, community turmoil, intruders, an Amber Alert and hate crimes
The DOJ says the mission of the CIRT program is to minimize the psychological impact of a critical incident, help stabilize the school community, work to identify individuals who may need long-term mental health care after a critical incident and support school staff.
“We must take a comprehensive approach to school safety,” Attorney General Josh Kaul said. “By creating regional Critical Incident Response Teams for schools across Wisconsin, our Office of School Safety and the partners participating in this program will ensure that resources and support are available if a critical incident takes place at any Wisconsin school.”
The 12 CIRTs are made up of volunteers from multiple areas, including law enforcement officers, school administrators, counselors, psychologists, social workers, nurses, teachers, school safety experts and other related professions.
Every CIRT member will attend one of the training sessions held around the state this spring and summer, where they'll be equipped with the skills they need to support a school after a critical incident.
The DOJ says the training will help ensure uniform responses and support for all schools throughout the state. The curriculum of the CIRT training includes PREPaRE workshop 1 & 2, Introduction to Standard Reunification Method, Crisis Communication with the Media and Resource and CIR Toolkit.
The CIRT program is expected to launch fall 2022. Wisconsin is the first state to implement regionally-based CIRTs statewide. | https://www.wkow.com/news/doj-training-12-critical-incident-response-teams-to-support-schools-after-critical-incidents/article_5cb15746-ed82-11ec-a7c9-d76a7f763e7c.html | 2022-06-16T17:02:01Z | https://www.wkow.com/news/doj-training-12-critical-incident-response-teams-to-support-schools-after-critical-incidents/article_5cb15746-ed82-11ec-a7c9-d76a7f763e7c.html | false | 1 |
So far in 2022, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: REGN) stock has fallen by 14%. It recently hit a new 52-week low and trades at an incredibly low earnings multiple. But the company won't be able to rely on revenue from its COVID-19 treatment to prop up its financials anymore, and the growth it generated from its older portfolio of products wasn't all that great last quarter.
So is Regeneron a bargain at its current price, or is it a stock destined to go lower -- and one that investors should be avoiding?
Its COVID-19 treatment will no longer bolster growth
In 2022's first quarter, Regeneron's sales were down 40% compared to 2021's fourth quarter. From just under $5 billion in revenue for the last three months of last year, its top line shrank by approximately $2 billion. The gaping hole in the company's financials was due to REGEN-COV, its COVID-19 treatment, which didn't generate any revenue in the U.S. in Q1. A quarter earlier, that figure had totaled $2.3 billion; however, with the Food and Drug Administration limiting the use of the treatment due to its ineffectiveness against the omicron variant, it's not likely that sales of REGEN-COV will bounce back this year.
Regeneron's overall product sales totaled $1.6 billion in Q1, down 5% year over year. The company's collaboration revenue did, however, jump by an impressive 63% to $1.2 billion. Included in that were multiple milestone or one-time payments. But the bulk of the company's collaboration revenue comes from profit-sharing agreements, and it's not something I would rely on to propel the stock's long-term growth.
Multiple deals may strengthen its top line
Slumping sales could be an area of concern, but the good news is that Regeneron is making moves to bolster its portfolio. This month, it announced that it would be acquiring the full rights to cancer medicine Libtayo, on which it has partnered with Sanofi. After the deal closes, which the company expects will happen in the third quarter, Regeneron will record all of the sales and revenue related to the product. Sanofi will receive a $900 million upfront payment plus an 11% royalty on net sales moving forward. Last year, Libtayo's total worldwide revenue was $458.2 million. Of that, $152 million came from outside the U.S. (Sanofi would have recognized that revenue). While the deal will help beef up Regeneron's sales, it was already receiving the bulk of the revenue from Libtayo.
The company also recently closed on its $250 million acquisition of Checkmate Pharmaceuticals, which it believes will bolster its oncology portfolio. Although Checkmate didn't generate any revenue last year, Regeneron is optimistic about vidutolimod, the company's cancer treatment candidate, which is undergoing phase 2 clinical trials for multiple cancer varieties, including head and neck.
The great news is that with more than $14 billion in cash and marketable securities as of the end of Q1, Regeneron could make more of these types of deals to diversify its revenue streams.
How cheap is the stock?
Regeneron stock is trading at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple between 12 and 13. That's cheaper than the average stock on the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund, where the multiple is around 15 -- a discount, but not at an astronomical one.
Its trailing P/E of less than 8 certainly looks low. However, the past year's earnings were skewed upward by significant sales of REGEN-COV, and those don't look likely to recur. The forward P/E multiple is a better gauge of the stock for that reason, and puts its discount in a clearer context.
Not a value trap, but not a steal either
Regeneron's business outlook is a bit hazy. Its growth could be better, but its margins are good, and it still has plenty of liquidity to fund potential deals. As such, I wouldn't be too worried about this healthcare company. The discount certainly makes up for some of that uncertainty, so Regeneron could be a quality investment to add to your portfolio now.

VENICE, Calif., June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bev, the LA-based company committed to 'breaking the glass' with wine crafted for the can, today announced the launch of their Serving Pride campaign in benefit of wayOUT, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization seeking to empower LGBTQ+ people to feel safe being who they really are. The campaign, which includes new product innovation, out-of-home advertising, a social campaign, and Los Angeles-based activations, kicks off today with the launch of limited-edition Bev Pride, a white wine spritz that donates 10% of proceeds to wayOUT. The launch coincides with Bev announcing Academy Award Winning Actor and Director Halle Berry, who makes a cameo in the campaign video, as its newest investor.
Bev Pride is a new 5% AbV spritz that pairs premium sauvignon blanc wine with crisp, clean, and bold bubbles for a playfully tart, deliciously dry taste. Crafted from California grapes, each ready to go, single serve, 250ml can holds 1 ½ glasses with zero sugar and only 72 calories per serving.
The limited-edition SKU was revealed on social media this morning in a one minute and fifty second spot featuring TikTok's 'The Old Gays' and included an appearance from Academy Award Winning Actor, Director, and Bev Investor Halle Berry. The spot, which pays a cheeky nod to Charlie's Angels, asks each of the four members of the utterly iconic group to share how they are committing to living their best lives and serving pride. The campaign will also feature out-of-home advertising in select markets, including Venice, California; Miami, Florida; and New York's West Village.
"As a female-founded and led brand operating in an industry known for its lack of diversity, my intention with Bev has always been to create a brand that felt inclusive and spoke to our customers in a positive, uplifting, and authentic way," said Alix Peabody, founder and CEO of Bev. "That is why this year, it was important for us to use our privilege and platform to help support wayOUT, an organization that's committed to the safety and empowerment of LGBTQ+ people nationwide. We're honored to be partnering with the non-profit this month and beyond."
"By investing in affirming spaces in local communities across the country, wayOUT aims to change what it means to grow up as a gender or sexual minority in the United States. We know that programs that promote inclusivity and authenticity not only improves the lives of LGBTQ+ people but saves them too," said Brenden Kennedy, National Board President of wayOUT. "Bev's commitment to safely celebrating individuality is the perfect, natural alignment to what wayOUT represents as an organization. We are humbled and incredibly grateful to be partnering with Bev to spread our mission and Serve Pride!"
Bev's limited-edition varietal, Bev Pride, will be available starting today on drinkbev.com and at Target, Total Wine, and other select retailers nationwide. Customers can purchase it as part of a 4pk for $14.99. For every purchase, Bev will be donating 10% of proceeds directly to wayOUT.

Head of Congress' Jan. 6 committee says time to invite Ginni Thomas to talk
The head of the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol said on Thursday he felt that Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, should be invited to speak to the panel. The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that the committee had obtained emails between Thomas and attorney John Eastman, who was involved in efforts to block the certification of President Joe Biden's defeat of Donald Trump in the November 2020 election.
The head of the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol said on Thursday he felt that Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, should be invited to speak to the panel.
The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that the committee had obtained emails between Thomas and attorney John Eastman, who was involved in efforts to block the certification of President Joe Biden's defeat of Donald Trump in the November 2020 election. The emails showed that Thomas' efforts to overturn the election were more extensive than previously known, the Post said.
"It's time for us to invite her to come talk," Democratic Representative Bennie Thompson, chairperson of the House of Representatives Select Committee investigating the attack, told reporters at the Capitol. Committee spokespeople did not immediately respond to a request for comment about any plans by the panel to speak to Virginia Thomas. Thomas could not immediately be reached for comment.
Virginia Thomas is active in conservative political circles and said she attended a rally Trump held before the Capitol riot. At the rally, Trump made a fiery speech repeating his unfounded allegations that his election defeat was due to widespread fraud and urged his supporters to march on Congress. Mrs. Thomas' political involvement has raised questions about whether her husband should recuse himself from cases involving Trump and the Capitol riot.
In January, her husband was the lone dissenting voice when the Supreme Court rejected Trump's request to block the release of White House records sought by the Jan. 6 committee.

Picture a court of law, jury in place, set to determine the fate of a woman who has had a miscarriage. And she's been charged with murder.
This hypothetical is part of how the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) is training its members to prepare for a wave of criminal charges if, as expected, the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.
Only it's not a hypothetical — this happened in 2019. After a California woman delivered a stillborn baby at 8 months, she tested positive for meth at the hospital and the staff called the police. The Kings County prosecutor charged her with the "murder of a human fetus" and she spent 16 months in jail before the charges were dismissed.
NACDL executive director Lisa Wayne watched the case with concern. She and her colleagues decided they needed to be proactive and start getting ready for what they felt was inevitable.
"Although, I don't think you can ever say you'll be totally prepared for this kind of watershed moment," Wayne said.
'Overcriminalization'
The NACDL published a report last August warning the public that, without the legal protections under Roe v. Wade, thousands of abortion laws could lead to a new chapter of mass incarceration.
The invasion of privacy alone is a big concern to the NACDL. Anyone who needs or wants an abortion outside of the legal limits of their state is not only a target for criminal charges, but risks implicating others, too — by confiding in friends or family, crossing state lines for procedures, or even using a transportation app to get to an appointment.
"Not just fines. We're talking about prison time," Wayne said. "We're talking about minimum mandatory sentences — aiding or abetting someone who gets ultimately charged with manslaughter or murder, which is a life sentence."
And for those who think a future of mass incarceration is too unlikely, Wayne points to the War on Drugs, starting in 1971.
"Suddenly people who were being prosecuted for small amounts of drugs were now involved in larger and greater conspiracies with minimum mandatory sentences," Wayne said. "People were looking at life sentences and still remain incarcerated to this day. You have to ask yourself, what lessons did we really learn?"
Who will actually pay the price?
The NACDL has tens of thousands of members. Actual feelings and opinions on abortion vary within the organization, as expected. But that's not what this collective red alert is about.
Wayne says that despite a range of personal views, the membership as a whole is concerned about invasion of privacy, government overreach, and a massive stretch on legal resources if a wave of abortion-related criminal charges hits the U.S.
And that pain won't be distributed equally.
"Whenever you're talking about overcriminalization, you're talking about money," Wayne said. "Rich people will always be able to lawyer up. They will always have access to attorneys. Poor people will be left behind."
She points to an already overwhelmed public defender system, which people can't access until after their legal troubles have started.
"I don't get a lawyer, if I'm poor, until I'm actually charged with a crime in this country in most jurisdictions," she said. "So I have to wait until that moment until I get charged. If I have money, access to counsel, I get advice on the front end of being able to perhaps avoid the consequences that I would face if I didn't have money."
The perfect victim
A future without Roe v. Wade ultimately leads back to that courtroom and jury, where the task at hand becomes navigating perception. The burden of being "the perfect victim" is nothing new when it comes to cases of harassment, sexual assault and domestic violence.
"To be a perfect victim of sexual assault, human trafficking or intimate partner violence, you cannot also struggle with addiction, poverty or mental illness," wrote Amanda Rodriguez, a former federal prosecutor and the executive director of Baltimore's rape crisis center, TurnAround Inc, in a 2021 op-ed for the Baltimore Sun. "To be a perfect victim, you cannot accept a drink, engage in commercial sex or walk alone at night. You cannot wear tight clothes or have a criminal record. You cannot be human."
Except with a criminalized abortion, the "victim" isn't pressing charges. They're fighting them.
"At the end of the day, it's going to be the bias going into the courtroom," Wayne said. "The bias dealing with the district attorney who has preconceived notions of their own about how these cases should be prosecuted, the judges who oversee these cases and how they feel — and then ultimately go to the jurors' bias."
And that's a main focus of NACDL's training at the moment: preparing to help clients who have been charged with abortion-related crimes look sympathetic and relatable to a group of their peers (wherein the degree of difficulty varies, depending on your race.)
But in some cases, that might not be enough. While more than a dozen states have trigger laws that would immediately go into effect if Roe is lifted, restrictive abortion bans already exist in many states — some without exceptions for rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. And the Supreme Court might be about to grant state lawmakers the freedom to ban abortion however they want.
So when a jury is asked to determine whether someone broke a law post-Roe, even a "perfect victim" might still be a guilty one.

The Apex Legends Awakening Collection event drops on June 21, bringing big Replicator changes once again – as two popular weapons will be removed from ground loot: Wingman and CAR.
Replicators only started crafting firearms at the beginning of Season 12 and it’s become one of the biggest points of interest for each major patch that’s followed. Will your favorite weapon get locked up and be unavailable when you first spawn?
The game’s developers announced a number of sweeping changes ahead of the next Collection event, which brings a Lifeline Town Takeover to the popular battle royale game.
In the patch notes, Respawn documented that – once again – ground loot and Replicator weapons have been given a reshuffle.

Replicator weapon changes for Apex Legends Awakening Collection event
Respawn are shuffling the pack once again in the Awakening Collection event, with the two gun slots being changed up.
There is some good news, though – as the R-301 and Rampage are rotating out of the Replicator to make space.
The following is from the official Respawn Entertainment blog:
- R-301 and Rampage removed from crafting and added back to floor loot.
- Wingman and CAR SMG added to the crafting and removed from floor loot.
To get the Wingman and CAR SMG, from now on you’re going to need enough Crafting Materials to unlock them from a Replicator. This will cost you 30 each time, and land you two boxes of ammo for whichever gun you choose.
Further changes for the upcoming event will see Lifeline get a long-awaited buff (and it’s massive), as well as a minor buff for Mirage.

(Reuters) - Tesla Inc again raised prices for all its car models in the United States in response to persistent global supply-chain problems and soaring raw material costs.
The electric carmaker increased its Model Y long-range price to $65,990 from $62,990, its website showed on Thursday, after delaying the deliveries of some long-range models in the United States by up to a month.
The 5% price hike comes as costs of raw materials of everything from aluminum to lithium used in cars and batteries surge, while automakers struggle to source chips and other supplies due to an industry-wide shortage.
Credit Suisse said the price hike represents in some cases the fourth one in the United States in 2022. "While some concerned price hikes will destroy demand, for now Tesla remains supply constrained," the brokerage said.
Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk has previously said that lithium is responsible for cost increases and "a limiting factor" to EV growth, encouraging carmakers to get into the lithium business.
Rival Rivian Automotive Inc has also raised price by more than $10,000 for new orders of its base model.
Several automakers are expected to deliver electric cars to customers for the first time in their race to catch up with Tesla amid growing demand.
Musk has warned about the risk of a recession in recent weeks. He had earlier this month said that he had a "super bad feeling" about the economy and that Tesla needed to cut 10% of jobs.
The world's richest person, who is in the process of buying Twitter Inc for $44 billion, is expected to address the social media company's employees later on Thursday.
Shares of Tesla were down about 4% in premarket trading, tracking wider losses across markets.

This groundbreaking agreement will bring together blockchain and financial expertise under a regulated environment.
QUEBEC CITY, QC, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SOAKMONT GROUP, INC. is delighted to announce its imminent partnership with ATLANTIC TRUST CORPORATION (ATC) a Canadian regulated Financial Institution.
ATC is a Trust & Loan Company, established in 1965 by an Act of Parliament by the Government of Prince Edward Island, has a wide array of powers as a financial institution and as a Trustee.
This strategic agreement will oversee the joint creation of a new corporate entity, subsidiary to ATC, that will cater to the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry, henceforth providing stability and insurance for investors. This new entity will also offer the Crypto market fully fiat-backed CAD and USD stablecoins. SOAKMONT & ATC intend to put back the notion of stability in stablecoins. Further financial products will be offered and released following the subsidiary's creation.
While confirming the news, the SOAKMONT development team stated, "this agreement will allow us to realize our vision of creating a fully regulated tokenized investment platform - removing traditional investment barriers while providing peace of mind for users. We see huge potential within this partnership and are delighted to be building something that will bring so much value to the fintech and cryptocurrency field."
The agreement will initially see the following outputs:
- Creation of a new digital subsidiary Trust/Financial Institution launching in Q3 2022.
- Launch of fully secure and asset-backed by 1:1 fiat CAD and USD stablecoins - these will be fully regulated and regularly audited.
- ATC and its subsidiary will work with SOAKMONT to ensure the forthcoming Soakmont Investment Platform is fully regulated for asset tokenization and fractional ownership.
This subsidiary will be the cornerstone of the innovative SOAKMONT Investment Platform. Being supported by a regulated Canadian Financial Institution allows SOAKMONT to focus on all forms of private equity and real estate investment.
Once the agreement is finalized in Q3 2022 the subsidiary financial institution will launch with the multi-chain stablecoins. Soon after, SOAKMONT will launch its Investment Platform and enter its first phase of tokenizing the first private equity asset with fractional ownership. Mandate was formally given by both parties to ARCHER Attorney & Notaries to ensure the completion of the agreement and the inception of this new subsidiary.
The expertise and experience within the two organizations are naturally complementary therefore enhancing the capacity of SOAKMONT and ATC to build a novel and secured environment within the cryptocurrency and blockchain landscape.
Further updates and projects will be announced and brought to market as the partnership develops.
SOAKMONT GROUP, INC. is a financial technology company focused on utilizing the transparency and efficiency of blockchain and web3 across a range of industries and products. Further information: https://soakmont.com/ or contact info@soakmont.com

All local families are invited to attend this event which will focus on Canton First Friday's July theme, Chalk the Walk. Guests in attendance will experience a live, interactive chalk mural lead by CMA Staff Member Cas Rosenberg. Ohio musician Brenna Geyer will sing and play guitar from 5:30PM - 7:00PM. The first 100 guests will receive a free frozen treat from an on-site ice cream truck. Make-and-take art activities, including Kool-Aid inspired sensory ice painting and popsicle lick-n-stick stenciled dreamscapes, will be available to guests of all ages.

Summer Exhibitions On-View Now through July 24th:
Witness to Wartime: The Painted Diary of Takuichi Fujii introduces a modernist painter who left a remarkably comprehensive visual record of his experience during World War II as a Japanese American detainee. Fujii left a remarkably comprehensive visual record of this important time in American history, and offers a unique perspective on his generation.
Fujii's illustrated diary spans the years from 1942 to 1945, taking viewers inside the daily life of inmates forced into the incarceration camps. The exhibition includes ink drawings and watercolors, along with several oil paintings and sculptures, notably a carved double portrait of Fujii and his wife. This stunning body of work sheds light on events that most Americans did not experience, but whose lessons remain salient today.
Abandoned America: Everything Must Pass will take visitors inside declining gems of the rustbelt and highlight the beauty in the decay of the industrial era in America. Photographer Matthew Christopher has had an interest in abandoned sites since he was a child. He started documenting them a decade ago while researching the decline of the state hospital system. He has published the books "Abandoned America: Dismantling the Dream" and "Abandoned America: The Age of Consequences" featuring his work. His photography has been featured on NBC Nightly News, the L.A. Times, NPR, Philadelphia Inquirer, Washington Post, Catholic Sun, Yahoo News, the Daily Mail, New York Post, Buzzfeed, the Weather Channel, the Huffington Post, the Discovery Channel Magazine, the Harrisburg Patriot, and many others. He has lectured on the art of ruins, abandoned spaces, preservation, and mental health history for Preservation Austin, the Pennsylvania State Museum, Preservation Pennsylvania, Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, and many others. His website, Abandoned America, has gained international attention and is considered one of the leading collections of images of abandoned spaces.
Asian Voices: From the CMA Collection addresses the increasing need to understand the diverse culture and rich history of Asia, especially as hate crimes towards Asians continue to rise. Asian artists have long sought fresh new opportunities in the United States, arriving as refugees, economic migrants, students, or professionals. In celebration of these artists, CMA presents "Asian Voices," an exhibit of work by Asian artists from our collection whose voices speak to the fluidity of an individual's sense of place and self. Featured artists will include Yuko Kimura, Patti Warashina, and more.

Ghislaine Maxwell cited a traumatic childhood and vulnerability to Jeffrey Epstein in a plea for leniency two weeks before her scheduled court sentencing for child sex trafficking.
In a brief filed Wednesday evening, Maxwell's lawyers urged Judge Alison Nathan to sentence the disgraced British socialite to less than the probation department's recommended 20 years.
Maxwell, 60, was convicted late last year of recruiting and grooming young girls to be sexually abused by the late US financier Epstein.
A jury found her guilty on five of six counts, the most serious for sex trafficking minors.
Her sentence, which is slated to come down on June 28 in Manhattan's federal court, could be an effective life behind bars.
"This Court cannot sentence Ms. Maxwell as if she were a proxy for Epstein simply because Epstein is no longer here," her lawyers wrote. "Ms. Maxwell cannot and should not bear all the punishment for which Epstein should have been held responsible."
The lawyers emphasized Maxwell's emotional wounds, saying that "she had a difficult, traumatic childhood with an overbearing, narcissistic, and demanding father."
"It made her vulnerable to Epstein, whom she met right after her father's death," the lawyers said.
"It is the biggest mistake she made in her life and one that she has not and never will repeat."
The Oxford-educated daughter of the late British press baron Robert Maxwell, the former international jetsetter grew up in wealth and privilege as a friend to royalty.
Her circle included Britain's Prince Andrew, former US president and real estate baron Donald Trump and the Clinton family.
Prosecutors in her trial said Maxwell was "the key" to Epstein's scheme of enticing young girls to give him massages, during which he would sexually abuse them.
Epstein killed himself in 2019 while awaiting his own sex crimes trial in New York.
In February, Prince Andrew settled a sexual abuse lawsuit with Virginia Giuffre, who said she had been trafficked to the royal by Epstein and Maxwell.

For too long, a bipartisan, commonsense agreement to fix America’s broken gun laws has seemed out of reach. A new effort in Congress offers reasons for optimism.
In the wake of multiple mass shootings this year — including the slaughter of 19 students and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, last month — Sens. Chris Murphy and John Cornyn have reached a tentative bipartisan agreement on the first significant national gun reform in many years. It won’t please everyone, of course. But there’s no doubt it represents progress.
Although negotiations continue, the broad outlines are clear. Crucially, the framework would close the so-called boyfriend loophole, ensuring that domestic-violence records are more widely included in background checks. It would allow for some sealed juvenile records to be available for similar purposes, while boosting penalties for crimes such as straw purchases and gun trafficking. It would also boost funding for mental-health programs and for improving security at schools.
Perhaps most important, it would create federal incentives for states to enact so-called red-flag laws, which allow courts to temporarily ban individuals from purchasing or possessing firearms if a judge determines that they’re a threat to themselves or others. Such laws are relatively new. But early evidence — and common sense — suggest that they’re likely to be an effective tool in stopping mass shooters, most of whom exhibit clear warning signs before they kill. One study looked at 21 red-flag orders issued against individuals in California who had made explicit shooting threats; no violence was subsequently attributed to any of them.
(Everytown for Gun Safety, which advocates gun reform measures, is backed by Michael Bloomberg, founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP.)
ADVERTISEMENT
It’s true that this effort falls short of the reforms that President Joe Biden outlined in a recent prime-time address, which included bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and a repeal of gun manufacturers’ liability protection. It also doesn’t go as far as a package passed by the House last week, which would (among other things) raise the minimum age for purchasing certain rifles to 21 from 18. And there’s no shortage of other reforms that could help impose sanity on America’s gun culture.
But something is better than nothing, which is essentially what the country has gotten in the decade since 20 other children were murdered by a deranged gunman in Newtown, Connecticut. Many thought that slaughter would be a turning point — an act so horrifying that Americans would finally come to their senses on guns. Instead, a much-hyped reform effort in Congress failed within months of the shooting. About two-thirds of the relevant state laws passed from 2012 to 2018 actually loosened gun restrictions. Meanwhile, hundreds more people have been murdered in additional mass shootings.
That carnage can never become acceptable to Americans. Should this deal advance, it ought to be seen as a starting point for wider change. A more comprehensive background-check overhaul should be next. Strengthening concealed-carry permitting requirements and secure-storage laws must remain a priority. So should extending red-flag measures to every state. Biden should also continue to work to get a new ATF director in place.
Although plenty of work remains, every step forward in Congress, however small, should be welcomed. The fight goes on.

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) – Virginia State Troopers made an unusual traffic stop on I-95 Tuesday evening, pulling over an entire mobile home as it made its way out of Richmond.
The house was first spotted on Broad Street in Richmond, where it was attempting to merge onto I-95, but evidently became stuck in the intersection, blocking several lanes of traffic. A branch stuck in the roofing material, as well.
A short while later, VDOT traffic cameras caught the house heading north on I-95. Unfortunately, a portion of the mobile home’s plastic wrapping had come undone, and it was visibly dragging behind the rest of the structure.
The mobile home was eventually pulled over by state troopers.

Virginia State Police said the mobile home was over-height and had actually hit an overpass just after 8 p.m. There were no signs of damage to the bridge.
The 64-year-old driver from Coats, North Carolina, was not injured and will be charged with an over-height vehicle violation.
The incident also caused brief traffic delays on I-95 near exit 78. | https://www.wkrg.com/news/mobile-home-pulled-over-by-virginia-state-troopers-after-house-gets-stuck-in-street-hits-overpass/ | 2022-06-16T17:33:00Z | https://www.wkrg.com/news/mobile-home-pulled-over-by-virginia-state-troopers-after-house-gets-stuck-in-street-hits-overpass/ | true | 27 |

Do you have 11 spare seconds to terrify yourself today? Don’t Worry Darling is over three months away from its release date, but it has somehow been the film of the year for… years. That’s probably because of its hot (visually and professionally) cast including Harry Styles, Florence Pugh, bearded king Chris Pine, Gemma Chan, and Olivia Wilde, who is also the director. All posters and trailers so far have delivered an enticing premise, but also kept the story very under wraps. The trailer teased some steamy sex scenes as well as a utopia horror vibe that’s reminiscent of The Stepford Wives.
On Thursday, June 16, Wilde shared an ominous teaser consisting of the most unsettling 11 seconds I have seen in some time. “Welcome to Victory. Only in theaters. 9 • 23 • 22 #dontworrydarling,” Wilde wrote in the caption. The teaser depicts a picture-perfect Palm Springs home. A plane is falling in a clear sky while a romantic but creepy song is playing (the same song featured in the trailer). The video goes out of focus and flips upside down a couple of times. I would go into more detail but I honestly don’t want to watch it again.
Welcome To Victory.
Only in theaters. 9 • 23 • 22 #dontworrydarling pic.twitter.com/SmlgvNHj2Z— olivia wilde (@oliviawilde) June 16, 2022
Don’t Worry Darling, which was written by Katie Silberman based on a story by Silberman and Carey Van Dyke & Shane Van Dyke, opens on September 23.
Here’s the film’s official plot synopsis:
While the husbands spend every day inside the Victory Project Headquarters, working on the “development of progressive materials,” their wives, including Frank’s elegant partner, Shelley, get to spend their time enjoying the beauty, luxury and debauchery of their community. Life is perfect, with every resident’s needs met by the company. All they ask in return is discretion and unquestioning commitment to the Victory cause.
But when cracks in their idyllic life begin to appear, exposing flashes of something much more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade, Alice can’t help questioning exactly what they’re doing in Victory, and why. Just how much is Alice willing to lose to expose what’s really going on in this paradise? | https://uproxx.com/movies/dont-worry-darling-teaser-olivia-wilde/ | 2022-06-16T17:35:38Z | https://uproxx.com/movies/dont-worry-darling-teaser-olivia-wilde/ | false | 1 |

A woman was left in a state of shock after she was pushed off her bike and into the Royal Canal by "brats".
The incident occurred at the part of the canal beside the Brian Boru pub near Phibsborough where a number of anti-social incidents have taken place.
The woman, in her 30s, had to be saved by a passer-by because she couldn't swim and was "terrified" of the water.

The yobs threw the women's bike in the water after her while laughing.
Joe Duffy read out an eyewitnesses account of the incident on air.
He said: "The water is really deep in that part and if you can't swim you could very easily drown.
"Whoever owns the little brats that were swimming in the Royal Canal on Tuesday last at around 5.50pm would want to sort their kids out.
"They thought it was funny to push a girl into the canal who was passing by. Not only could she not swim, and was terrified of water, they threw her bike in after laughing.
"I feel so bad and sicker to know this isn't the first time. Any girls walking the canal please be careful.
"Luckily, a passer-by jumped in and got her out, fair play to him. I came along with my dog after the event and even better somebody filmed them.
"The poor girl is in shock and I hope she recovers. I am so sorry this happened."
The gardai confirmed they are investigating the incident.
A spokeswoman said: "Gardai are investigating an incident in which a female cyclist (30s) was assaulted on the Royal Canal in Dublin on 14th June 2022 at approximately 5.50pm. Investigations are ongoing."
It isn't the first time an anti social incident has been associated with that part of the canal.
A Dublin man was previously forced to dive into a canal and swim for his life late at night to escape two muggers.
Pete Farrell was walking along the Royal Canal on a Sunday night when he was approached by a man on a bike and asked if he wanted to purchase drugs.
But after he declined, Mr Farrell was faced with a knife and ordered to empty his pockets.
When the man went to attack him, Pete jumped into the canal to swim away from the muggers.
He told Joe Duffy on RTE Radio One’s Liveline: “I was terrified in the water because he was like ‘I’m going to kill you’, and his voice had proper fury.
Luckily, Mr Farrell was able to escape his would-be muggers on the night.

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has taxed the income being earned by foreign lenders by giving loans to Pakistan in addition to imposing taxes on their grants – a move that the Ministry of Economic Affairs said may cause serious repercussions.
The disclosure was made by Ministry of Economic Affairs Additional Secretary Humair Karim in a meeting of the Senate Standing Committee on Finance that had been called to discuss the new Finance Bill clause by clause. Senator Saleem Mandviwalla chaired the meeting.
The United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, Denmark and Japan have raised the taxation issue with the Pakistani authorities, according to the economic affairs ministry.
Recipients of interest on foreign loans have been taxed at very high rates and “the FBR has not accepted our proposals to exempt the loans and grants from taxes,” revealed the additional secretary to the surprise of the committee.
Committee members urged the ministry to resolve the issue at the government level instead of bringing it to parliament. But the additional secretary said that the FBR was not listening to its proposals.
“In a debt-laden economy like Pakistan, this will cause serious repercussions and this must be addressed by the Finance and FBR,” said a paper that the additional secretary submitted with the standing committee.
Pakistan owes around $128 billion to the international creditors and it receives nearly half a billion dollars in grants every year. However, the multilateral creditors are exempt from taxes under various agreements.
FBR’s Member Inland Revenue Policy Afaq Qureshi told the committee that an amendment had been proposed in the new Finance Bill to give tax exemption on a case-to-case basis.
An FBR official said that the authorities had not directly taxed the interest income of a foreign country but it had taxed only that portion of the loan or grant that was in the hands of local contractors.
The economic affairs ministry stated that according to an agreement between Pakistan and Germany concerning technical cooperation of November 1972 it had been agreed that all grant agreements by Germany would be exempt from all general sales taxes.
The UK has requested that the Official Development Assistance (ODA) is grant financing and shall be exempted from all taxes and duties in all forms including any returns generated thereof, and this includes all channels, financial assistance, through suppliers, for profit companies, non-profit companies like Karandaaz, according to the ministry.
Similarly, the USAID – the development arm of the US government – has also put forth a demand that any taxes deducted on grant assistance, would be deducted from the grant money.
“The USAID delegation cautioned that if its invoices are not accepted, USAID will de-obligate $1.7 million (100% of tax deducted by the federal and provincial revenue authorities) on account of tax recovery and it will go back to the US treasury,” revealed the ministry’s documents.
They also mentioned that as per Pakistan Enhanced Partnership Agreement (PEPA) and negotiations between the US and Pakistan governments, taxes and duties must not be applied to any USAID projects, and warned that $3.4 million is anticipated to be deducted in the upcoming year that will be 200% of the taxes deducted.
The US has also urged the economic affairs ministry to process tax exemptions for the USAID’s implementing partners.
“KfW in a meeting with FBR’s Inland Revenue Policy was shocked at the FBR’s stance that any markup to be paid by the government of Pakistan on repayments shall be taxed as an income of the recipient country, organisation.”
The ministry stated that due to this stance, the income of Denmark’s Danske Bank, Japan’s JIBC, Germany’s KfW and France’s AFD will be taxed in Pakistan.
“This kind of treatment can simply result in drying up of any foreign economic assistance from these countries.”
The ministry stated that Pakistan takes concessional loans at either zero or minimum interest starting from 0.25% to 0.75% and these are repaid over a period of 25-45 years.
In case of multilateral lenders such as the ADB, World Bank and Islamic Development Bank, the interest rate varies from 1.25% to around 6%.
The ministry is also seeking tax waiver for the foreign consultants and companies offering any services under the grant-in-aid project or interest-free loan, procurements and supplies of any goods and services for the projects.
The ministry has proposed that the FBR may tax interest income of the foreign lenders, if the rate exceeds 7% and where the repayment duration is less than 10 years.
The standing committee approved a budget proposal to abolish the condition to produce the Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) on purchase of goods worth Rs100,000 or more. The condition had been levied a few years ago but the FBR could not document the traders.

The U.S. government took a family away from its house, jobs, schools, and friends, locked up all of its members, and then began ordering the male family members of the proper age to join the U.S. military and head straight off to war.
This wasn’t last month. This was in 1941. And it wasn’t at random. The family was of Japanese ancestry, and the incarceration was accompanied by the accusation of being subhuman creatures but also of being disloyal traitors. None of that makes it acceptable or irrelevant. The relevance is demonstrated by the questioning state of mind in which you just read the headline above. Was the family from south of the border? Were they Muslim? Were they Russian? Evil and abusive practices have been around since long before the abuse of Japanese-Americans during World War II, and are still around today.
This week, the New York Times, published a few new photographs from Guantanamo and claimed that this was something new, even though people had for decades seen very similar and very famous photographs of prisoners in orange at Guantanamo, protesters had worn orange and put the photos on giant posters, violent anti-U.S. fighters had worn orange. Terrorists had said they were acting in response to the outrages at Guantanamo. Of course, someone just wants to generate clicks to the New York Times website, but there’s never a penalty for erasing horrors or for treating them as exceptional.
Back to the family in California. A newly published memoir by Yoshito Kuromiya, with a foreword by Lawson Inada, Preface by Eric Muller, and edited by Arthur Hansen, is titled Beyond The Betrayal: The Memoir of a World War II Japanese American Draft Resister of Conscience. Kuromiya recounts how his family was snatched up from their lives in California and put into a camp beyond barbed wire in Wyoming. In the camp, white — and therefore trustworthy and admirable — teachers instructed the young members of the inferior group on the glories of the U.S. Constitution and all the wonderful liberties it creates. And Yoshito was ordered to join the U.S. military and kill or die in World War II (full humanity and trustworthiness not required).
As the book’s title rather gives away, Yoshito Kuromiya refused. Many refused together, and many obeyed together. There was quite a debate, as you might imagine. Should one go and kill and die in the horrific stupidity of war? And should one do so for a government that treats you like this one did? It’s never crystal clear to me, and perhaps it never was to the author, whether he objected to all war. He writes of how horrible it would have been to participate. He also writes that he might have joined in the senseless murder under other circumstances. Yet he also, years later, expresses his support for Ehren Watada’s refusal to participate in the war on Iraq. Perhaps those, too, were just the wrong circumstances. But Kuromiya writes that he regrets not having established at the time of WWII the legal right to refuse war, and he cannot be unaware what a fatal blow to the institution of war that would have been. Nor could he have been unaware that he had resisted the only war of the countless U.S. wars in the past 75 years that most people will even try to defend as morally justifiable.
Kuromiya’s memoir gives us context. He recounts his parents’ immigration and struggles prior to WWII. He says that he’d always been geographically contained by poverty, prior to being contained by guards and fences. After the war, he describes the reversal of things, with the white flight from neighborhoods that Japanese Americans managed to move into. He also recounts the differences of opinion among prisoners, and among guards. He describes the prison in Washington State to which he and other conscientious objectors were sent, including the relatively positive aspects of it, and including the prison guards who would have to stay there longer than the prisoners.
Kuromiya and his fellow resisters went to court and were ruled against by a racist judge, and then had any prospects for a favorable ruling ended by Truman’s pardoning of draft resisters. The U.S. government later admitted its wrong in incarcerating all those families. There’s a monument in Washington, D.C., swearing that they won’t do it again. But the government has never admitted that there was anything wrong with a draft. In fact, were it not for buffoonishly sexist Republicans, the Democrats would have long since added women to draft registration. Nor has the U.S. government, as far as I know, publicly admitted anything particularly wrong about the combination of locking people up and then drafting them. In fact, it still lets courts give convicts a choice of the military over other punishment, lets immigrants be denied citizenship unless they join the military, lets anyone at all lack access to education unless they join the military to acquire funds for college, and let’s kids grow up in such dangerous neighborhoods that the military looks like a safer option.
Kuromiya’s account of what he faced is not what you’ll read in a school-board-approved history text. It’s a first-person witnessing of what happened without any watering down by the heroic greatness of FDR or the all-excusing evil of the Nazis. Nor are Kuromiya’s inconvenient thoughts omitted. He wonders why German- and Italian-Americans were not treated as Japanese-Americans were. He recognizes that the U.S. government took steps to get into a war with Japan, leaving the reader to wonder whether that ability to see past some of the propaganda, not to mention the ability to see Japanese people as human beings, may have influenced Kuromiya’s actions — and to wonder what similar abilities might have meant if more widespread. | https://davidswanson.org/the-u-s-government-locked-up-this-californian-family-then-insisted-they-join-the-military/ | 2022-06-16T17:39:29Z | https://davidswanson.org/the-u-s-government-locked-up-this-californian-family-then-insisted-they-join-the-military/ | true | 2 |

NEW YORK, June 16, 2022
New features for the Profile Navigator, Relationship Indicator, and expanded awards search capabilities will equip arbitration practitioners with faster and on-target research and actionable insights
NEW YORK, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory U.S. today announced new enhancements to several tools within Kluwer Arbitration Practice Plus (KAPP). These additions will expand KAPP's capabilities to guide practitioners in finding the most suitable arbitrator or expert witness and evaluating their relationships for potential conflicts of interest as well as easily finding relevant awards to support their case.
KAPP is a practical extension to Kluwer Arbitration, the world's leading research solution for international arbitration. The Profile Navigator tool within the platform, which helps to verify the initial selection of a potential arbitrator by using data driven information, has been expanded to include expert witness and counsel profiles as well. Wolters Kluwer has also added the option to select an arbitrator, expert witness, or counsel based on specific criteria, making the selection process more inclusive by expanding the pool of usual suspects and helping to achieve a better balance regarding experience and geographical representation.
Wolters Kluwer has also made updates to the Relationship Indicator tool, which provides a comprehensive review of current and previous relationships of arbitrators, expert witnesses or other stakeholders involved in the case for potential conflicts of interest. With this latest enhancement, users can explore relationships of law firms, states, and commercial parties, so the assessment does not have to start with an individual. The enhancement provides more flexibility for exploring these relationships, as well as a broader range of results.
Users can now search more easily through Kluwer Arbitration's rich set of 6000+ commercial and investment awards, thanks to filters that Wolters Kluwer has added to the capability. The new filters assist the user to find awards based on required criteria, such as economic sector, applicable law, seat of arbitration, and more in order to receive targeted results relevant to the case.
"These additions within KAPP offer a broader range of data-driven resources for arbitration practitioners," said David Bartolone, Vice President and General Manager for the International Group within Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory U.S. "With these enhanced features, we are providing our customers with more powerful research capabilities to streamline the arbitrator selection process and increase their chances of success."

ANKARA — The Turkish and Greek defense ministers met Thursday on the sidelines of a NATO meeting amid renewed tensions between the two neighbors, Turkey’s defense ministry said.
The discussion in Brussels between Turkey’s Hulusi Akar and Nikos Panagiotopoulos of Greece focused on the “importance of continuing the dialogue in order to reduce tensions,” according to a statement from the ministry.
They discussed the need to keep the channels of communication open, to focus on a positive agenda and bilateral and regional cooperation, according to the statement.
The meeting comes amid a new escalation in tensions between the NATO allies that have a history of disputes over a range of issues such as mineral exploration in the eastern Mediterranean and rival claims in the Aegean Sea.
Last week, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Greece to demilitarize islands in the Aegean, saying he was “not joking.” He spoke during Turkish wargames near the Greek islands that included an amphibious landing scenario.
Ankara says Athens has been building a military presence on the islands in violation of treaties under which they were ceded to Greece in the 20th century after a long period of occupation by the Turks — or by Italy in the case of Rhodes and Kos.
Greece counters that the islands need defenses given threats of war from Turkey, which has NATO’s second-biggest military and maintains a large landing fleet on its Aegean coast.
Greece’s state-run television said Panagiotopoulos spoke briefly with Akar after they stood next to each other for a photo of the NATO leaders. It quoted Panagiotopoulos as telling Akar: “We can’t move forward if you continue with this rhetoric and these policies.”
Giannis Oikonomou, the Greek government spokesman, said Thursday “Greece has no intention of engaging in any way that would heighten the tension in the region.”
This week, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis sought to reassure his compatriots, saying that despite strong rhetoric from Turkey, relations are not at the low of 2020 when the neighbors’ warships were shadowing each other in the eastern Mediterranean.

FALMOUTH, MA – The police in Falmouth have identified the victim in an accident involving a car plunging into the ocean on February 20, NBC10 Boston reported.
PHILADELPHIA – The Federation of Hellenic Societies of Philadelphia and Greater Delaware Valley announced that the Evzones, the Presidential Guard of Greece will be participating in the Philadelphia Greek Independence Day Parade on March 20.

CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago police officer accused of dragging a Black woman from a car by her hair and kneeling on her back and neck during a period of protests and unrest following George Floyd’s killing should be fired, the head of the police department told a civilian oversight board.
Superintendent David Brown filed disciplinary charges this month against Officer David Laskus and recommended he be fired to the Chicago Police Board, which will decide the issue.
The police union didn’t immediately reply to a message Thursday seeking the name of Laskus’ lawyer.
Brown charged Laskus with violating various department rules, including mistreating and engaging in any unjustified verbal or physical altercation with a person, according to police board records.
Mia Wright was a passenger in a car that arrived at the Brickyard Mall on May 31, 2020, during a weekend of protests and unrest, including looting, after the killing of Floyd, who was Black, by a white police officer in Minneapolis.
A federal civil right lawsuit Wright and four relatives filed states that they drove to the mall to go shopping and didn’t realize it was closed due to the unrest. The suit alleges that police officers suddenly surrounded their car, broke the windows with their batons and pulled Wright out by her hair.
Wright says she was left blind in one eye by flying glass caused by the officers breaking the car windows.
Officers said they thought some members of Wright’s group were attempting to break into a store at the mall to steal goods, city lawyer Caroline Fronczak has said.
The City Council in March approved a $1.675 million settlement with Wright and the four others who were with her that day. | https://www.counton2.com/news/national-news/chicagos-top-cop-seeks-officers-firing-over-mall-arrest/ | 2022-06-16T17:41:40Z | https://www.counton2.com/news/national-news/chicagos-top-cop-seeks-officers-firing-over-mall-arrest/ | false | 30 |

The EU’s ‘reinforced’ code of conduct on disinformation is signed by 34 tech companies, platforms and civil society groups to step up the fight against fake news
Big-name tech firms have signed up to the European Union’s “enhanced” code of conduct on disinformation.
The EU says its “new stronger and more comprehensive” code of conduct takes into account lessons from the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia’s illegal war in Ukraine.
It is worth remembering that technology companies such as Google, Facebook and Twitter signed the EU code of conduct against disinformation back in October 2018.
Photo credit: European Parliament
Old Code of Conduct
All of these companies were asked to report monthly on their actions against disinformation, but in February 2019 the commission censured Facebook, Google and Twitter for their efforts to crack down on fake news.
Then, in October 2019, the European Commission said tech giants needed to do more to fight fake news after submitting self-assessment reports.
Signatures of the original code were also requested to tighten ad placement, transparency of political advertising, shutdown of fake accounts, and identification of automated bots.
The fact that the EU has revised its code of conduct on disinformation should come as no surprise.
While the commission said the original 2018 code had produced positive results by increasing platform accountability and public scrutiny of countermeasures to disinformation, it still felt frustrated with certain aspects of it.
In particular, the European Commission previously said that the quality of the information disclosed by the code’s signatories was still insufficient and shortcomings limited the code’s effectiveness.
These shortcomings included:
- the lack of relevant key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess the effectiveness of the platforms’ actions to combat the phenomenon;
- the lack of clearer procedures, common definitions and more precise obligations;
- the lack of access to data that would allow an independent assessment of emerging trends and threats from online disinformation;
- lack of structured collaboration between platforms and the research community;
- and the need to involve other relevant stakeholders, particularly from the advertising sector.
Revised Code of Conduct
The code comes after years of concern that online platforms were being used to spread disinformation.
Recent examples have included Covid misinformation on social media platforms and Russia’s ongoing propaganda ahead of its second invasion of sovereign nation Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
The EC said that the “reinforced code builds on the first code of conduct from 2018” and “sets out comprehensive and precise obligations from platforms and industry to combat disinformation and marks another important step towards a more transparent, safer and trustworthy online environment”.
“This new anti-disinformation code comes at a time when Russia is arming disinformation as part of its military aggression against Ukraine, but also when we see attacks on democracy more broadly,” said Věra Jourová, Vice-President for Values and Social Affairs Transparency.
“We now have very significant commitments to reducing the impact of online disinformation and much more robust tools to measure how this is implemented across the EU in all countries and in all their languages,” Jourová said.
“Users will also have better tools to flag disinformation and understand what they’re seeing,” Jourov said. “The new code will also reduce financial incentives for spreading disinformation and give researchers easier access to the platforms’ data.”
Platforms that violate the EU code risk fines of up to 6 percent of their global turnover.
Along with the recently agreed Digital Services Act and forthcoming legislation on transparency and targeting of political advertising, the strengthened code of conduct is an essential part of the Commission’s toolbox to tackle the spread of disinformation in the EU.
The 34 signatories include major online platforms including Meta, Google, Twitter, TikTok and Microsoft, as well as a variety of other players such as smaller or specialized platforms, the online advertising industry, ad-tech companies, fact-checkers and civil society or the specific Provide expertise and solutions to combat disinformation.
Specific improvements
The EU said the strengthened code aims to “remedy the shortcomings of the previous code with stronger and more detailed commitments and actions, building on the practical experience gained over the past few years”.
In particular, the new Code includes commitments to:
- Expand Participation: The Code is not only intended for large platforms, but also involves a wide range of different actors who play a role in curbing the spread of disinformation, and more signatories are welcome to join;
- Reduce financial incentives for spreading disinformation by ensuring that disinformation providers do not benefit from advertising revenue;
- Cover new manipulative behaviors such as fake accounts, bots or malicious deepfakes spreading disinformation;
- Empower users with better tools to spot, understand, and flag disinformation;
- extend fact-checking to all EU countries and all their languages, while ensuring that fact-checkers are properly remunerated for their work;
- Ensure transparent political ads by allowing users to easily identify political ads with better labeling and information about sponsors, spend, and timeframe.
- better support researchers by giving them better access to platform data;
- Assessing own impact through a strong monitoring framework and regular reporting by platforms on how they implement their commitments;
- Established a Transparency Center and Task Force to provide a simple and transparent overview of the Code’s implementation to keep it future-proof and fit for purpose.
Finally, the code aims to be recognized as a code of conduct under the Digital Services Act to mitigate the risks posed by disinformation for very large online platforms.
Signatories have 6 months to implement the commitments and actions they have signed.
In early 2023 they will present their first implementation reports to the Commission. | https://shepherdgazette.com/revised-eu-code-of-conduct-on-disinformation/ | 2022-06-16T17:43:53Z | https://shepherdgazette.com/revised-eu-code-of-conduct-on-disinformation/ | false | 1 |
New Orleans Saints star Marcus Davenport is healing after getting part of his pinky amputated.
On Wednesday, Davenport told reporters that he had the top portion of his left pinkie finger amputated during the offseason, the Associated Press reported.
Davenport told the AP that he tore ligaments in the finger while playing at UTSA. He's had procedures on the finger throughout his playing career, but in the latest procedure this year he had a plate inserted after breaking one.
An infection occurred which led to the amputation, the news outlet reported.
Davenport, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract, said this won't be a setback.
He's also recovering from right shoulder surgery.
This won't be the first time an NFL player has played without a finger.
The AP reported that free-agent Jason Pierre-Paul lost his right index finger and suffered other hand injuries in a fireworks accident in 2015.
Pierre-Paul has since played six seasons since the injury. | https://www.news5cleveland.com/sports/saints-star-davenport-healing-from-pinky-amputation | 2022-06-16T17:44:59Z | https://www.news5cleveland.com/sports/saints-star-davenport-healing-from-pinky-amputation | false | 11 |

Ag News: Understanding pollination for National Pollinator Week – June 20-26
ANGELINA COUNTY, Texas (KLTV) - Pollination is such an important but often overlooked part of fruit and vegetable production. A frequent call that I get is someone asking why their fruit or vegetable crop hasn’t produced. The inquirer will probably have healthy plants that have all the water and nutrients they could want. Light and soil requirements are also sufficient. The homeowner even saw an ample number of blooms earlier in the season.
In this scenario, their plants likely never got pollinated. When pressed about how many bees, butterflies or wasps they’ve seen in the garden, their answer is none. It’s “none” most likely because they haven’t been looking for them, but without something to pollinate your cantaloupes, peaches, beans, or more, you will have nothing to harvest.
Pollination is such a key part of fruit production, and it is often misunderstood. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from a male anther in a flower to the female stigma of another flower in the same species to then grow a viable seed.
If pollination does not occur on my peach tree, then my peach tree sees no reason to develop the fruit around a non-fertile seed. Honestly, I’ve never cared if there was a viable seed within my peach, but if there wasn’t a viable seed from successful pollination, then you can bet the peach tree won’t spend it’s time and resources developing it. It will just try again next year.
Before we move on, let’s take that point one step further. Will the pollen from one peach tree, affect the fruit of another? No. A fertile seed in the middle of a fruit, will be the combination of genetics from two different flowers. The genetic combination will affect the growth and production ability of the subsequent generation, meaning once planted then it would show its own unique characteristics in that next fruit.
For home gardeners, if a straight-neck squash flower is pollinated by a Burpless cucumber, the squash plant will still grow a straight-neck squash. The genetic combination is held in the seed and will exhibit itself when it is planted and bears its own fruit.
With National Pollinator Week upon us (June 20-26), it is important to recognize the variety of pollinators that exist in addition to Honeybees. In Texas alone, the designation “pollinators” properly includes bats, bees, hummingbirds, butterflies, moths, wasps, flies, and beetles. There are approximately 3,600 bee species alone, which are native to the United States. Bumble bees, blue orchard bees, leafcutter bees, long-horned bees, mason bees, and the sweat bee are just a few types of the many in our area.
In celebration of National Pollination Week, Angelina Beautiful/Clean will be hosting a “Pollinator Party” from 10 am to 11 am on Thursday, June 23 at the Texas Forestry Museum on 1905 Atkinson Dr. in Lufkin. There will be family friendly activities for all ages. Call 936-632-5326 for more information.

Erie’s Black community hosting a Juneteenth like never before, join us
June 19th, 1865, better known as “Juneteenth,” marks the day when enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas, were freed because the federal troops took control of the state to ensure their liberation — something the state had failed to do, despite the Emancipation Proclamation being signed two years prior. Black people celebrated this day with food, singing, and learning new things such as their voting rights. Juneteenth has since spread through the global diaspora as a celebration of freedom, progress, and Black culture. Juneteenth has been celebrated in Erie for almost a decade and it has grown from a small parking lot celebration to events happening all over the city of Erie. Erie’s Black Wall Street is happy to be involved in and spreading the word about this important and necessary moment in our nation’s history, now a federal holiday.
Erie’s Black Wall Street is named in honor of the original Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Black Wall Street, also known as the Greenwood District, was one of the most prosperous Black communities in the United States until a white mob burned it to the ground in May of 1921 due to accusations of an attempted rape of a white woman by a Black man, instead of allowing an official investigation. Erie’s Black Wall Street is set on recreating the prosperity and unity that Tulsa's Black Wall Street experienced prior to the racial violence.

Erie's Black Wall Street's mission is to serve as a vehicle for change and empowerment of Erie’s Black community through cultivating meaningful relationships, education of members, the creation of social networks and the promotion of Black entrepreneurship. We see our mission is being carried out in full effect with the Juneteenth celebrations that are going on this week in Erie. The events, which may be hosted by separate entities or groups, are being supported and promoted by each respective group, showing a collaborative effort that hasn't been seen in recent years. Erie's Black community is set on making meaningful connections with one another, educating our community and the community at large, and celebrating and uplifting Black voices.
Erie’s Black Wall Street (EBWS) is proud to be in the midst of this renaissance in Erie. To be able to collaborate with OpenedEyes and Pineapple Eddie Southern Bistro Friday, June 17th, on a happy hour event that also serves as a way to connect Black business owners to local resources was a no-brainer and vital need to begin to create those connections we mentioned above. EBWS is also a sponsor for the Erie Art Museum ’s Gallery Night, also on Friday, June 17th, where the community can enjoy an evening of art and great music from The Groove band.
Then to partner with Erie's Juneteenth Celebration and the Booker T. Washington Center on the block party that will be on Saturday, June 18th, in the 1200 block of State Street — complete with a bounce house for children; live performances from local talent and The Breeze Band; 30-plus local Black-owned vendors; and giveaways — just seemed like a great way to show unity within the Black community.

Woman seriously hurt in Franklin explosion files $25M lawsuit
FRANKLIN, Va. - A $25 million lawsuit has been filed on behalf of a woman who was severely burned when the propane gas leak cause an explosion at her apartment in the Berkley Court Apartments in Franklin two months ago.
The lawsuit, filed Monday morning, names the owner, Berkley Court Apartments, L.P., and management company, Severn Management of Virginia, LLC, of the 75-unit complex.
The explosion and subsequent fire happened just before 11 p.m. on April 15 and resulted in the death of a man, Michael Wiggins , who also lived in the neighboring duplex. The duplex was destroyed.
According to the lawsuit, Dionne Whitehead was at home when the explosion tore through her building and suffered massive burns after the fire. The lawsuit also says permanent injuries are expected, such as scars and disfigurement.
Her duplex neighbor, Wiggins, was critically injured and died two weeks later.
Whitehead is being represented by Norfolk-based personal injury law firm Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers and is now suing Severn for compensatory damages.
The lawsuit alleges that Berkley Court Apartments and Severn failed to properly maintain, inspect, repair or warn residents about a dangerous gas leak at the property despite some residents previously complaining of a propane gas smell.
It goes on to accuse the owner and management company of either knowing that this posed an immediate hazard to its residents, or saying they should have known about the issue and that their negligence directly led to the explosion.
Whitehead's lawyers are seeking compensation for her injuries, medical bills, pain and suffering and future health care costs, along with other claimed damages. They are also in the process of investigating the complaints to the owner and property management company about potential propane leaks or the presence of a propane smell at the apartment complex.
If you know anything about propane at Berkley Court Apartments, you're asked to please call Griffin O’Hanlon at (757) 333-3333.

The leaders of the House Jan. 6 committee say they plan to invite Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, to speak to the committee in the wake of reporting by the Washington Post that the committee has evidence of Thomas communicating with lawyer John Eastman.
Eastman was central to a pressure campaign against then-Vice President Pence to reject the election results when Congress convened on Jan. 6 to count the Electoral College vote, committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and vice chair Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., say. Thompson told this to reporters on Capitol Hill and Cheney's view was confirmed to NPR's Deirdre Walsh by an aide.
It's unclear if the committee will first ask for a voluntary appearance or a closed door deposition, or send a subpoena.
Ginni Thomas was previously revealed to have been in touch with Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows via text message between the election and Jan. 6. At the time of those revelations, Thompson had said he would recommend the committee ask Thomas to appear before them, but didn't make a request. Some members of the committee have said that Thomas didn't play a significant role ahead of Jan. 6 before the latest reports emerged Wednesday night.
The Supreme Court rejected an 11th-hour effort by Trump allies to have it step in during the legal fight over the election results, during which dozens of lower court cases were almost all decided against Trump. However, Justice Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito disagreed with that decision. Thomas was also the lone dissenter when the Supreme Court ruled against Trump as he sought to have his White House records shielded from the Jan. 6 committee investigation.

A prominent politician in Jigawa state, Alhaji Saleh Taki, has said that the presidential flag bearer on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, is in urgent need of grassroots support to win the the election.
Speaking to newsmen in Kano, Thursday Taki stated that it would be utterly impossible for any presidential contestant to scale the present hurdles without a firm grassroots mobilisation.
He added that what was most needed by the PDP presidential aspirant is the calibre of team that would assist him in working towards such direction.
He pointed out that the northern part of the country was far left behind in the recent voters registration exercise with the southern part of the country embracing the exercise with vigour and greater enthusiasm positing that with the north left at the lower rung of the ladder, anything could happen.
He, however, described the emergence of the NNPP’s presidential flag bearer in the person of Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as a major albatross to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, considering the Kwankwaso’s formidable grassroots acceptability while stressing that certain surgical excision had to be effected for the current dicey equation to be settled. | https://www.blueprint.ng/atiku-needs-grassroots-support-to-win-presidential-contest-taki/ | 2022-06-16T17:52:59Z | https://www.blueprint.ng/atiku-needs-grassroots-support-to-win-presidential-contest-taki/ | false | 1 |
WNBA star Sue Bird says 2022 will be her final season
By TIM BOOTH
AP Sports Writer
Seattle Storm star and five-time Olympic gold medalist Sue Bird announced Thursday the 2022 season will be her last playing in the WNBA.
The announcement by Bird, 41, ended any speculation about her future; she had acknowledged in February when she re-signed with Seattle that this would likely be her final season. She strongly considered retirement after last season before choosing to return for a 19th season as a player.
Bird’s announcement came a day before Seattle’s game at Connecticut. The Storm will close out their road trip on Sunday in New York, about 30 miles from where Bird grew up in Syosset, New York.
“As the season has gone, like I said, I pretty much knew, and then once I saw the schedule, and then once I started packing for this trip a little bit, I was like, ‘Oh, this is gonna be my last time playing in New York. My last time playing in front of my family and friends.’ And so that’s why the timing of this is what it is,” Bird said in a video posted by the Storm on social media.
“I just really felt strongly about announcing my retirement, saying it was my last year so I can share that with my family and my friends, all the people in New York who have watched me growing up so they can come and see me play for the last time in my home state. So I’m excited about that. It’s also bittersweet.”
Bird is a four-time WNBA champion, 12-time All-Star and the oldest player in the league. She has spent her entire WNBA career with Seattle since becoming the No. 1 draft pick in 2002 following her storied college career at UConn. This season is her 21st associated with the franchise although just her 19th playing after missing two seasons due to injuries. She is the league’s all-time leader in assists and the standard by which other point guards are judged.
Bird turns 42 in October and was on the cusp of stepping away a year ago, and when the Storm were eliminated by the Phoenix Mercury in the playoffs, fans chanted “One more year! One more year!” as she did an on-court televised interview.
Those cheers were egged on by Phoenix’s longtime star Diana Taurasi, Bird’s former college teammate at UConn and part of all five of those Olympic gold-medal runs.
In the end, the fans — and Taurasi — got what they wanted. Bird came back, for exactly one more year.
“Sue Bird is Storm basketball,” her WNBA team tweeted moments after Bird made her decision known. “Every moment, every memory has one constant. No. 10. It’s time for the final chapter.”

(The Hill) — Electric car maker Tesla raised its prices this week amid spiking supply costs and high inflation rates.
Tesla’s website showed the company’s Model Y Long Range price tag was $65,990, up from $62,990. Model S vehicles were up to $109,490 from $104,490.
The increase in prices comes during a period of record-setting inflation and as the costs of raw materials to produce the vehicles have become pricier. Products like aluminum and lithium, which is part of the cars’ batteries, have all shot up in price, according to Reuters.
“Price of lithium has gone to insane levels! Tesla might actually have to get into the mining & refining directly at scale, unless costs improve,” Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a tweet earlier this year.
“There is no shortage of the element itself, as lithium is almost everywhere on Earth, but the pace of extraction/refinement is slow,” he added.
Earlier this year, Tesla raised the prices of its vehicles twice in one week, increasing all of its U.S. models by between 5 and 10 percent and increasing models made in China by 5 percent.
“Tesla & SpaceX are seeing significant recent inflation pressure in raw materials & logistics,” Musk tweeted at that time. “And we are not alone.”
Also at that time, reports indicated that Tesla bought millions of euros worth of aluminum from Russian company Rusal amid concerns over how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine could impact the supply chain.
The company was not sanctioned at the time of that purchase, but Rusal has said Western sanctions over Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine could cause potential “difficulties in supply of equipment, which may lead to the postponement of investment projects,” Reuters reported. | https://myfox8.com/news/tesla-increases-prices-amid-rising-supply-costs/ | 2022-06-16T17:53:27Z | https://myfox8.com/news/tesla-increases-prices-amid-rising-supply-costs/ | false | 24 |

Russia’s growing engagement in Africa is gaining attention. The Wagner Group, a shady mercenary organization, is the centerpiece of this activity. Since 2015, it has become an important security player in at least a half-dozen countries across the continent. The Russian government denies any connection, but Wagner is widely believed to be close to Russian President Vladimir Putin and doing Russia’s bidding.
The U.S. government and European partners have been quick to condemn African governments that have accepted Russian mercenary support but have failed to offer a better alternative. For more than a decade, Western security sector assistance across the continent has failed to bring stability, all while insulating bad actors from the consequences of poor governance and corruption. In fact, terrorism on the continent has become more widespread and deadly in recent years.
Since 2019, the Pentagon has considered reducing its footprint in Africa, due both to the failure of counterterrorism efforts to bring security and the need to redirect resources to more pressing U.S. national security interests elsewhere. Africa’s terrorist groups pose little meaningful threat to the United States, after all. But Russia’s expanding influence in Africa, and China’s growing engagement, are spurring renewed interest in a hard-power presence to ensure our competitors there don’t get the upper hand.
The Wagner Group’s activity is nothing to cheer. Its penchant for abusing civilians is widely documented, including in Mali and the Central African Republic. It has no problem legitimizing anti-democratic leaders. As one example, when Western countries condemned Mali’s military junta and France withdrew troops following the 2021 coup (only nine months after a coup in 2020), the Wagner Group wasted no time striking a security deal with Mali’s unconstitutional military leadership.
But Wagner’s appeal comes as little surprise to those of us who have worked on the continent. Its engagement is transactional. In return for a wide range of security services — from training and advising to combat and spreading disinformation — Wagner reaps access to natural resources such as precious metals, gas, and oil. This differs significantly from state-to-state defense agreements, which are time-consuming to negotiate and execute and often come with conditions.
Wagner’s heavy-handed security approach provides no lasting solutions though, as it doesn’t address the underlying issues that fuel insurgency. But, then again, neither did Western assistance. It comes with none of the human rights training requirements or hollow finger-wagging about democracy that are hallmarks of U.S. and European engagement but have done little to change bad behavior.
In the short-term, Wagner might even look effective. In the Central African Republic, for example, the Wagner Group has helped the national military regain control over most major towns. It achieved this with brutality and abuse, but life under rebel militias was hardly an appealing alternative.
Russia might deny an official role, but some of the trade-offs clearly include official state acts. Russia gets the support it craves on the international stage, while African governments get recognition. Russia’s footprint in Africa certainly didn’t hurt when the UN General Assembly voted in March to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Only 35 countries abstained, and nearly half were African.
The security threats and insurgencies facing many African states are real, threatening governments and civilians alike. While not a direct threat to the homeland, it is generally in the United States’ interest to help bring stability to these countries. That would mean fewer ungoverned spaces where illicit activity can thrive, more robust and mutually beneficial trade, and more manageable migration flows.
But only durable stability will drive those outcomes, with governance that meets the needs of the people, and with sufficient security, jobs and services to undermine the appeal insurgency and terrorist groups pose today. That requires addressing not just violence but the underlying causes that fuel that violence too.
The United States and other partners can offer something more appealing and effective than a mercenary force, but only if they prioritize addressing the causes of insecurity over the symptoms.
If the focus is merely outdoing Russia in security support, it will fail. If anything, the increasing appeal of Russian assistance in Africa should trigger a reconsideration of why, how and where the West engages in security assistance, and what other assistance is necessary to make that support effective.
The U.S. and the West need not be everywhere. They should have standards for those they partner with and hold them to account for this support. They should not prop up bad actors for short-term security interests, as bad leaders only turn into long-term problems. They should invest in countries where partners have the political will to build good governance because those are the places where a robust provision of governance, development, and security support can succeed. They should not waste time or resources fighting the enemies of bad actors who are not committed to building better states.
If the United States and its partners truly believe that stronger partnerships with more stable, democratic African countries are in our national security interest, they should provide more effective support than simply scolding the use of the alternative or trying to replace it.

NEW YORK (AP) — Revlon, a cosmetics maker that broke racial barriers and dictated beauty trends for much of the last century, is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The company has been a mainstay on store shelves since its founding 90 years ago in New York City. Revlon oversees a stable of household names, from Almay to Elizabeth Arden.
However, it has failed to keep pace with changing tastes and has lost shelf space in a crowded cosmetics market.
The company will continue to operate as it restructures debt.
“Today’s filing will allow Revlon to offer our consumers the iconic products we have delivered for decades, while providing a clearer path for our future growth,” said Debra Perelman, Revlon's president and chief executive officer.
Revlon says it expects to receive $575 million in debtor-in-possession financing, which would provide liquidity to support day-to-day operations. | https://www.koaa.com/news/national/revlon-beauty-icon-in-crowded-market-files-for-bankruptcy | 2022-06-16T18:06:27Z | https://www.koaa.com/news/national/revlon-beauty-icon-in-crowded-market-files-for-bankruptcy | true | 13 |
JERUSALEM (AP) — An Israeli police investigation has found that police engaged in misconduct during the funeral of slain Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, but those who supervised the event will not face serious punishment, an Israeli newspaper reported Thursday.
Israeli riot police pushed and beat mourners at the funeral, causing the pallbearers to nearly drop the casket in a shocking start to the May 14 procession in east Jerusalem.
The violence drew international condemnations and added to the sense of grief and outrage across the Arab world that followed the death of Abu Akleh, who was killed on May 11 while covering an Israeli military raid in the occupied West Bank.
Witnesses and Palestinian officials say Abu Akleh was deliberately targeted by Israeli troops, while the Israeli military says she was killed during a shootout with Palestinian gunmen and it is unclear who fired the fatal bullet.
The Haaretz daily, citing unidentified sources, said Thursday that an internal police investigation had found misconduct by officers.
But it said police had determined prior to the investigation that the commanders who oversaw the event would not be disciplined. The report said that it was suitable for police to use violence under the circumstances but could have refrained from using clubs.
It was not clear if any of the officers who beat the pallbearers would be punished.
“Obviously the images that emerged were unpleasant and could have been different, but overall the police acted well in a complex and violent incident,” the paper quoted an unidentified senior police officer as saying.
In a statement, Israel's national police chief, Kobi Shabtai, confirmed that he had ordered the probe to “learn lessons and improve the operational procedures” of the police. He appeared to acknowledge police shortcomings, but also cast blame on the mourners.
“One cannot remain indifferent to the difficult images and it is our obligation to probe these matters so that sensitive events like these will not descend into violence by rioters and will retain the required respect,” he said.
His statement gave no details on the actual findings of the probe or consequences for those who oversaw the events.
Thousands of Palestinians attended the funeral of Abu Akleh, 51, who was a household name across the Arab world for her reporting on life under Israeli rule. A 25-year veteran of the satellite channel, she was revered by Palestinians as a local hero.
Israel has said it has identified a soldier's rifle that might have killed Abu Akleh, but that it cannot make a final determination without matching it to the bullet. The Palestinians have refused to turn over the bullet, saying they do not trust Israel.
A reconstruction by The Associated Press lent support to the assertions by Palestinian authorities and Abu Akleh’s colleagues that she was killed by Israeli fire. But it said a conclusive answer remained elusive because of the lack of trust and the need for further forensic evidence. | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Report-Israeli-police-clear-officers-at-17246429.php | 2022-06-16T18:07:53Z | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Report-Israeli-police-clear-officers-at-17246429.php | false | 38 |

COLOMBO: Sri Lanka's fuel stocks will last for about five more days, its power and energy minister said on Thursday, as the island nation awaits official confirmation from the Indian government for a new $500 million credit line for fuel.
The country of 22 million people is caught in its worst financial crisis in seven decades after its foreign exchange reserves dwindled to record lows, with dollars running out to pay for essential imports including food, medicine and fuel.
Chronic fuel shortages have worsened this week with kilometres-long lines at some gas stations countrywide, leading to sporadic protests as vehicle owners wait, sometimes overnight, for petrol and diesel.
The stocks cover fuel for vehicles, some industries and essential services. A month ago, the prime minister said there was only enough petrol for one day.
Sri Lanka is unable to make $725 million in overdue payments to suppliers and also struggling to open letters of credit for future shipments, Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekera said.
"We are struggling to get fuel supplies due to our forex issues and the government is working to manage existing stocks of diesel and petrol until 21 June," he told reporters. "We are finding it very difficult to meet demand and stocks could run out faster if we do not cut back on non-essential travel and stop hoarding fuel."
"We are expecting a petrol shipment within the next three days and another two shipments in the next eight days," he added.
Sri Lanka is waiting for official confirmation on a $500 million credit line from the Indian government's Exim Bank, which Wijesekera said would be used to fund fuel shipments for the next few weeks.
India has been a key supporter during the financial crisis, having poured in about $3 billion in assistance, including a $1 billion credit line for essential imports and a $400 million swap.
Sri Lanka has reached out to multiple countries, including Russia, to discuss fuel import options that would provide supplies worth several months, Wijesekera said.
The country is also in talks with the International Monetary Fund for a bailout package and a delegation from the lender is expected to arrive in Sri Lanka on 20 June. | https://www.geo.tv/latest/422790-sri-lanka-left-with-fuel-stocks-for-around-five-days-minister | 2022-06-16T18:08:36Z | https://www.geo.tv/latest/422790-sri-lanka-left-with-fuel-stocks-for-around-five-days-minister | true | 11 |
BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale threw 32 pitches in a simulated game at Fenway Park on Thursday.
With teammates watching from different areas of the ballpark, the 33-year-old Sale faced the same three batters twice — in two separate innings — and sat in the dugout after the first.
“Good, 94, 95 (mph). Good changeup,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said after Sale was done.
Sidelined since spring training after suffering a fracture in his rib cage, Sale could be a huge boost for a Boston rotation that also is missing right-hander Nathan Eovaldi because of a back injury.
But Sale’s health will be a concern, once again.
Sale, signed through 2024 in a five-year, $145 million deal, is 114-74 with a 3.03 ERA and 2,059 strikeouts over 321 big league appearances. But the seven-time All-Star has thrown just 42 2/3 innings for the Red Sox since the end of the 2019 season.
Last season, he went 5-1 with a 3.16 ERA in nine starts in his return from Tommy John surgery, relying mostly on his fastball and slider.
Now, Cora was excited to see Sale's changeup.
“He was a two-pitch pitcher for a month and half. That far away from surgery now, this will play. It was a good one,” Cora said. “I don’t know what’s next, we’ll sit down today and map it out.”
Most of Boston's relievers watched Sale's throwing session, sitting in the grass in shallow center field. Shortstop Xander Bogaerts took it in from the dugout with a few teammates, and star third baseman Rafael Devers watched from lower-box seats while chatting with friends.
The media was lined up behind the plate and in the first row along the first-base line.
“We’ve just got to be patient. Everybody’s excited,” Cora said, before joking: “I’ve never seen a live BP with this much coverage in the years I’ve been here.”
After walking off and into the dugout, Sale bumped knuckles with a handful of teammates before heading to the clubhouse. He didn’t speak to the media.

Two British fighters sentenced to death by a sham court for fighting in Ukraine will be shot with guns and bullets from the UK, according to a Russian politician.
Aiden Aslin, 28, and Shaun Pinner, 48, along with Moroccan Sadun Brahim, 21, were captured during the attempted defence of Mariupol.
The Brits appeared in court in the separatist Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and will appeal against the barbaric sentence.
Another British detainee Andrew Hill, 35, a father of four from Plymouth, has also been warned to expect the death penalty when his verdict is handed down.
MP Aleksey Zhuravlyov, deputy chairman of the Russian parliament’s defence committee, told Rossiya 1 state TV the DPR intends to execute them with British weapons and bullets.
He said: “I like the way the DPR is performing their international obligations.
“As I was told…the shooting will be performed with a British weapon, and a British bullet.
“And then this bullet will be sent to the British relatives who will be made to pay for it. In roubles…converting from pounds.”
Kremlin-loyalist TV anchor Yevgeny Popov intervened to say this was “a mockery”.
The hardline MP hit back: “Why mockery? No mockery, we need just to finish these bastards off.
“Without any negotiations. No need even to mock them. I saw what they are doing with my own eyes, personally so I have no mercy for them.
“All those b******s who came here from Britain must be eliminated. Do you want them to be liquidated with your British weapon?
“They will be eliminated with a British weapon.
“The DPR and LPR [Luhansk People’s Republic] have sufficient captured trophies.
“So when the [West] send mercenaries here, they must understand clearly, where they go.”
The condemned men are said to have admitted "training in order to carry out terrorist activities".
The UK Government is seeking their release with the possibility of a prisoner swap put forward.
Mr Aslin's family previously said in a statement: "We've heard the news from Donetsk and need some time to take everything in.
"We love Aiden with all our hearts. He and Shaun, as members of Ukrainian armed forces, should be treated with respect just like any other prisoners of war.
"They are not, and never were, mercenaries.
"We hope that this sentence will be overturned and beseech the government's of the UK and Ukraine to do everything in their power to have them returned to us safely, and soon."

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman will make his first appearance against the team he debuted with in the finale of the four-game series with the visiting Baltimore Orioles on Thursday afternoon.
The Blue Jays will be out to clinch the series after taking two of the first three games.
After squandering a 5-0 lead on Wednesday, Toronto won 7-6 in 10 innings on Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s fourth hit of the game. It was Guerrero’s first career walk-off RBI.
Gausman, who was Baltimore’s first-round pick (fourth overall) in the 2012 draft, made his major league debut in Toronto when he started for the Orioles on May 23, 2013. He allowed four runs and seven hits over five innings to take the loss.
He went 39-51 with a 4.22 ERA in his six seasons with the Orioles, who traded him to the Atlanta Braves on July 31, 2018. He went on to pitch for the Cincinnati Reds and the San Francisco Giants before signing as a free agent with the Blue Jays in December.
Gausman (5-5, 2.67 ERA) will face Orioles right-hander Tyler Wells (3-4, 3.86).
Wells is 1-1 with a 10.80 ERA in six career games against Toronto, all in relief, covering 6 2/3 innings.
Guerrero’s four-hit game was the third of his career and included a solo home run, his 16th long ball of the season. He is on a six-game hitting streak, going 13-for-27 (.481) with a double, three homers and eight RBIs in that span.
The surge is occurring after Guerrero struggled in May, when he hit .217 with just three homers and eight RBIs in 26 games.
“I thought it was more mental than anything else,” Guerrero said. “I wasn’t enjoying the game the way you guys know I enjoy the game. When I was in Detroit (last weekend), I thought about that and said from now on I’m going to be myself, and from that point on, everything clicked.”
Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said, “It’s something we are waiting for, kind of. He’s going OK, but we are waiting for the MVP-type Vlad Guerrero to show up, and he showed up today, for sure, and that’s great to see. We all know that if he gets going, he can carry this team.”
Toronto’s Lourdes Gurriel Jr. extended his hitting streak to 10 games on Wednesday with two singles. He is batting .475 (19-for-40) with seven RBIs during the streak. Meanwhile, teammate George Springer went 0-for-5 to end a 24-game on-base streak.
Baltimore first baseman Ryan Mountcastle hit two more home runs on Wednesday. He has three homers in the series and 12 for the season. He also has 12 in his career against Toronto.
“Mounty’s seeing the ball extremely well right now and taking great at-bats, and got two huge homers for us,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said.
Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman hit his first career home run in the fourth inning, a two-run shot. The RBIs were also his first in the bigs, and he had a double as well.
“He’s been taking good at-bats. He’s just not getting a ton of results,” Hyde said. “Tonight, he really swung the bat. He drove two baseballs. Good to see him get his first one out of the way.”
The Orioles designated left-hander Zac Lowther for assignment on Wednesday and claimed infielder Jonathan Arauz off waivers from the Boston Red Sox. Arauz was then optioned to Triple-A Norfolk.
The swelling on Trey Mancini’s hand has subsided, and the Orioles first baseman could be available off the bench Thursday. Mancini was hit by a pitch while striking out in the series opener on Monday.

Well, it looks like Mo’Nique settled a major conflict this week…well, at least ONE of them.
The Hollywood Reporter reports that streaming giant Netflix has settled with the comedienne on Tuesday, with the terms of the deal under wraps. This may prove to be a smart move, as the case had the potential to ultimately punish Netflix for refusing to negotiate in good faith after giving the Oscar winner what she called a “low-balled” offer.
How It Started
In 2017, Netflix courted Mo’Nique for an hour-long comedy special, just as they were boosting up their stand-up comedy lineup. However, negotiations fell through when Mo’Nique turned down their initial offer of $500,000 for the special. It’s worth noting that Netflix would’ve had complete control, owning the copyright and retaining all audio-only rights. Mo’Nique immediately called Netflix out for the discriminatory offer, and the negotiations ended.
The Lawsuit
Mo’Nique subsequently sued Netflix for refusing to continue negotiations and accused them of low-balling Black, female comediennes while offering more money to their Black, male counterparts (like Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle), as well as White, female comedians. (We’re looking at you, Amy Schumer.) Mo’Nique alleged that the aforementioned comedians were able to land 8-figure deals by leveraging other comedians’ compensation. As a result, they received deals that were 26-times the amount that Mo’Nique was originally offered.
The complaint states: “The offer made to Mo’Nique was merely an ‘opening offer’ from which there was an expectation — both by Netflix and Mo’Nique — of continued negotiations likely leading to increased compensation being offered to Mo’Nique. Once Mo’Nique engaged in protected conduct by protesting the discriminatory offer, Netflix shut down any further negotiations and refused to negotiate in good-faith consistent with its standard practices.”
Mo’Nique further called Netflix to task publicly. That includes an interview with Sway in The Morning in January 2018. “I couldn’t accept that low offer because if I did … I couldn’t sleep at night. If I accepted $500,000, what does Tiffany Haddish have coming? If I accept that, what does the Black female comedian have coming? Because what they’ll say is, ‘Mo’Nique accepted this and she’s got that.’ So what do they have coming?”
In response, Netflix issued a statement, saying, “We believe our opening offer to Mo’Nique was fair — which is why we will be fighting this lawsuit.” Netflix petitioned for dismissal, saying that there was no legal authority to support the claim that their refusal to continue good faith negotiations was discriminatory.
The Final Word
Despite Netflix’s best efforts, the judge actually sided with Mo’Nique on this case. Netflix was supposed to negotiate the opening deal, per normal practices. Failing to do so constitutes an “adverse employment action for purposes of a retaliation claim.”
The judge writes: “At the very least, Mo’Nique’s allegations permit the plausible inference that, had she not challenged her offer as discriminatory, Netflix would have continued negotiating in good faith with her and increased her offer, consistent with its customary practice in dealing with talent in the entertainment industry.”
Mo’Nique’s attorney, Michael Parks, simply said, “The matter has been amicably resolved.” Netflix has no comment.

Replacing Spa with a Monaco without walls in a dangerous area in a country with rolling power outages and a substantial amount of the population struggling to get food and clean drinking water. Priorities. Instead of investing whatever money into solving the basic necessities of poor areas in South Africa, let's make American capita$$list$ get bank. Another great idea from the Liberty Media wankers
The immediate area around Kyalami looks alright but it's hard to say whether there's a safe route to the hotels without using the Interlagos playbook.
Congratulations to the South Africans who'd want a Grand Prix, but this is a terrible idea in so many ways. Nevermind the racing will be atrocious at Kyalami because of the layout. It's quite fun to drive but there is a grand total of zero passing zones. Spa MUST stay on the calendar.
The start finish straight is actually slightly longer than Hungaroring, otherwise the two tracks are very similar. The problem at Kyalami though is that you enter that straight through a 90-degree turn where there's a logical extension effect between cars similar to in Barcelona. Then the first two sharp corners are both to the left so if you cover the inside, the one behind you can't make a move. At Hungaroring you can take the outside and hang on to get the inside for the second turn. Not an option at Kyalami. It's extremely easy to stay on the outside in the very shallow Turn 2 and then get the inside again for 3-4. DRS will not aid someone get anywhere else than the outside on that short straight with such an entry to it. Maybe with extremely soft tyres and wear coming into effect there could be some lunges but I'm very pessimistic. Then the fast Turn 5 doesn't have enough runoff for the 150 mph apex speeds carried there so a puncture there could end really badly with cars bouncing back onto the road. | https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=351158.msg18388263 | 2022-06-16T18:15:42Z | https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=351158.msg18388263 | false | 3 |

Arsenal 'close in' on third summer signing ahead of Fabio Vieira transfer
ARSENAL are closing in on another signing amid claims they are set to buy Fabio Vieira.
Arsenal's Premier League Fixtures 2022/23
Arsenal are reportedly closing in on the signing of Bologna full-back Aaron Hickey. The Scotland international could become the Gunners' third signing of the summer, after Brazil youngster Marquinhos and Emirates-bound Fabio Vieira.
Marquinhos' arrival at Arsenal was confirmed by the club earlier this week. Meanwhile, Vieira is widely reported to have agreed to move to north London from Porto for an initial fee of £30million.
Arsenal are in the market for a striker, with Gabriel Jesus their top target. But manager Mikel Arteta continues to add to other areas of the pitch and Hickey could be the next player through the door.
The Scotsman claims the Gunners are the likeliest destination for the 20-year-old. Arsenal will have to offer at least £18m for Hickey for Bologna to entertain a sale.

But the report expects a deal to be done, saying Arsenal are closing in on the signing. Bologna are already planning for life after Hickey and are said to be interested in another Scottish player in Josh Doig, who is currently at Hibernian.
Bologna sporting director Marco Di Vaio stated this week Hickey would be allowed to leave but only at the right price. He said: "(Hickey) is one of those we could sacrifice, but if we don’t receive adequate offers, he’ll likely stay for another year. We have a good potential to do well and earn more than 50 points.
"We must be good at financing new signings and finding new players. If we make the right moves, we’ll be able to replace them and keep all the others.”
Hickey has spent the majority of his career at left-back. He would likely provide back-up initially to his international team-mate Kieran Tierney, who continues to struggle with injury problems.

He can also play on the right of defence, though Arsenal already have Takehiro Tomiyasu and Cedric Soares in that position. The signing of Hickey could take Arsenal's summer spending to over £50m.
Marquinhos, 19, has signed a long-term contract after a fee of just under £3m was agreed with Sao Paulo. Meanwhile, news broke of Arsenal's agreement with Porto for Vieira on Thursday.
The Gunners are set to pay an initial £30m plus £4.1m in add-ons for the 22-year-old attacking midfielder. Meanwhile, Manchester City want £50m for Jesus, which could then take Arsenal's spending to north of £100m.

BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale threw 32 pitches in a simulated game at Fenway Park on Thursday.
With teammates watching from different areas of the ballpark, the 33-year-old Sale faced the same three batters twice — in two separate innings — and sat in the dugout after the first.
“Good, 94, 95 (mph). Good changeup,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said after Sale was done.
Sidelined since spring training after suffering a fracture in his rib cage, Sale could be a huge boost for a Boston rotation that also is missing right-hander Nathan Eovaldi because of a back injury.
But Sale’s health will be a concern, once again.
Sale, signed through 2024 in a five-year, $145 million deal, is 114-74 with a 3.03 ERA and 2,059 strikeouts over 321 big league appearances. But the seven-time All-Star has thrown just 42 2/3 innings for the Red Sox since the end of the 2019 season.
Last season, he went 5-1 with a 3.16 ERA in nine starts in his return from Tommy John surgery, relying mostly on his fastball and slider.
Now, Cora was excited to see Sale's changeup.
“He was a two-pitch pitcher for a month and half. That far away from surgery now, this will play. It was a good one,” Cora said. “I don’t know what’s next, we’ll sit down today and map it out.”
Most of Boston's relievers watched Sale's throwing session, sitting in the grass in shallow center field. Shortstop Xander Bogaerts took it in from the dugout with a few teammates, and star third baseman Rafael Devers watched from lower-box seats while chatting with friends.
The media was lined up behind the plate and in the first row along the first-base line.
“We’ve just got to be patient. Everybody’s excited,” Cora said, before joking: “I’ve never seen a live BP with this much coverage in the years I’ve been here.”
After walking off and into the dugout, Sale bumped knuckles with a handful of teammates before heading to the clubhouse. He didn’t speak to the media.

Authorities said Wednesday that they expected to make more arrests in the case of freelance reporter Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira of Brazil, who disappeared June 5. None had been made as of Thursday morning, but police said searches for the boat the two had used were about to restart. READ MORE: Brazil withheld deforestation data ’til COP26’s end, sources say. They gave no immediate explanation of a motive for the killing, but earlier suggested that Pereira’s work to stop illegal fishing in an Indigenous reserve had angered local fishermen. At a news conference in the Amazon city of Manaus, a federal police investigator said the prime suspect in the case confessed Tuesday night and detailed what happened to Phillips and Pereira. Investigator Eduardo Alexandre Fontes said Amarildo da Costa de Oliveira, 41, nicknamed Pelado, told officers he used a firearm to kill the men. “We would have no way of getting to that spot quickly without the confession,” Torres said of the place where police recovered human remains Wednesday after being led there by de Oliveira. Torres said the remains were expected to be identified within days, and if confirmed as the missing men, “will be returned to the families of the two.” “We found the bodies t3 kilometers (nearly 2 miles) into the woods,” the investigator said, adding that officers traveled about one hour and forty minutes by boat and 25 more into the woods to reach the burial spot. The suspect’s family had said previously that he denied any wrongdoing and claimed police tortured him to try to get a confession. Another officer, Guilherme Torres of the Amazonas state police, said the missing men’s boat had not been found yet but police knew the area where it purportedly was hidden. “They put bags of dirt on the boat so it would sink,” he said. The engine of the boat was removed, according to investigators. Military leaders also had joined the effort to find Phillips and Pereira a few days after their disappearance was reported. President Jair Bolsonaro, a frequent critic of journalists and Indigenous experts, has drawn criticism that the government didn’t get involved fast enough. Before the bodies were discovered on Wednesday, he criticized Phillips in an interview, saying that locals in the area where he went missing didn’t like him and that he should have been more careful in the region. Efforts to find the two were started by Indigenous peoples in the region. UNIVAJA, an association of Indigenous peoples of the Javari Valley, mourned the loss of “two partners” in a statement Wednesday, adding they only had help and protection from local police. Colleagues of Pereira called a vigil outside the headquarters of the Brazilian government’s Indigenous affairs agency in Brasilia from which he was on leave. Pereira, 41, and Phillips, 57, were last seen on their boat in a river near the entrance of the Javari Valley Indigenous Territory, which borders Peru and Colombia. That area has seen violent conflicts between fishermen, poachers and government agents. On Wednesday morning, journalists saw federal police officers take a hooded suspect they didn’t initially identify out on the river toward search parties looking for Phillips and Pereira. On Tuesday, police said they had arrested a second suspect in connection with the disappearance and identified him as Oseney da Costa de Oliveira, 41, a fisherman and a brother of the initial suspect. Indigenous people who were with Pereira and Phillips have said that Pelado brandished a rifle at them on the day before the pair disappeared.

MANAUS, Brazil (AP) — A fisherman confessed to killing a British journalist and an Indigenous expert in Brazil’s remote Amazon region and took police to a site where human remains were recovered, a federal investigator said after a grim 10-day search for the missing pair. Authorities said Wednesday that they expected to make more arrests in the case of freelance reporter Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira of Brazil, who disappeared June 5. None had been made as of Thursday morning, but police said searches for the boat the two had used were about to restart. READ MORE: Brazil withheld deforestation data ’til COP26’s end, sources say. They gave no immediate explanation of a motive for the killing, but earlier suggested that Pereira’s work to stop illegal fishing in an Indigenous reserve had angered local fishermen. At a news conference in the Amazon city of Manaus, a federal police investigator said the prime suspect in the case confessed Tuesday night and detailed what happened to Phillips and Pereira. Investigator Eduardo Alexandre Fontes said Amarildo da Costa de Oliveira, 41, nicknamed Pelado, told officers he used a firearm to kill the men. “We would have no way of getting to that spot quickly without the confession,” Torres said of the place where police recovered human remains Wednesday after being led there by de Oliveira. Torres said the remains were expected to be identified within days, and if confirmed as the missing men, “will be returned to the families of the two.” “We found the bodies t3 kilometers (nearly 2 miles) into the woods,” the investigator said, adding that officers traveled about one hour and forty minutes by boat and 25 more into the woods to reach the burial spot. The suspect’s family had said previously that he denied any wrongdoing and claimed police tortured him to try to get a confession. Another officer, Guilherme Torres of the Amazonas state police, said the missing men’s boat had not been found yet but police knew the area where it purportedly was hidden. “They put bags of dirt on the boat so it would sink,” he said. The engine of the boat was removed, according to investigators. Military leaders also had joined the effort to find Phillips and Pereira a few days after their disappearance was reported. President Jair Bolsonaro, a frequent critic of journalists and Indigenous experts, has drawn criticism that the government didn’t get involved fast enough. Before the bodies were discovered on Wednesday, he criticized Phillips in an interview, saying that locals in the area where he went missing didn’t like him and that he should have been more careful in the region. Efforts to find the two were started by Indigenous peoples in the region. UNIVAJA, an association of Indigenous peoples of the Javari Valley, mourned the loss of “two partners” in a statement Wednesday, adding they only had help and protection from local police. Colleagues of Pereira called a vigil outside the headquarters of the Brazilian government’s Indigenous affairs agency in Brasilia from which he was on leave. Pereira, 41, and Phillips, 57, were last seen on their boat in a river near the entrance of the Javari Valley Indigenous Territory, which borders Peru and Colombia. That area has seen violent conflicts between fishermen, poachers and government agents. On Wednesday morning, journalists saw federal police officers take a hooded suspect they didn’t initially identify out on the river toward search parties looking for Phillips and Pereira. On Tuesday, police said they had arrested a second suspect in connection with the disappearance and identified him as Oseney da Costa de Oliveira, 41, a fisherman and a brother of the initial suspect. Indigenous people who were with Pereira and Phillips have said that Pelado brandished a rifle at them on the day before the pair disappeared. Official search teams concentrated their efforts around a spot in the Itaquai river where a tarp from the missing men’s boat was found Saturday by volunteers from the Matis Indigenous group. They found a backpack, laptop and other personal belongings submerged underwater Sunday. Police previously reported finding traces of blood in Pelado’s boat. Authorities have said a main line of investigation has pointed to an international network that pays poor fishermen to fish illegally in the Javari Valley reserve, which is Brazil’s second-largest Indigenous territory.

New York, June 16, 2022 -- Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") assigned a B2 rating to PetVet Care Centers, LLC's ("PetVet") proposed $275 million incremental 1st lien term loan. The incremental term loan will mirror the terms of the existing 1st Lien Term Loan tranches, including the February 2025 maturity date. There is no change to the company's B3 Corporate Family Rating (CFR), the B3-PD Probability of Default Rating (PDR), B2 rating of the company's existing 1st Lien senior secured credit facilities, and Caa2 rating on the existing 2nd lien term loan. The outlook remains stable.
Proceeds from the incremental term loan will be used to fund acquisitions under letters of intent, pay related fees, and add cash to the balance sheet. The debt financed transaction is credit negative, as it raises leverage and will increase the company's annual interest burden by approximately $18 million annually. Moody's estimates debt/EBITDA will rise to approximately 8.9x (pro forma for the term loan add-on and acquired business under letter of intent), as of March 31, 2022, up from approximately 8.2 times, on Moody's adjusted basis. Further, Moody's expects PetVet will remain acquisitive and is likely to fund future acquisitions with at least partly incremental debt.
Moody's notes that PetVet has a track record of successfully integrating acquisitions, which supports the credit profile despite the aggressive acquisition pace. Moody's expects credit metrics will improve through low-to-mid-single digit earnings growth, over the next 12 to 18 months. In addition, the company maintains a very good liquidity profile, supported by a cash balance of $500 million pro forma for the transaction (majority of which will be applied towards tuck-in acquisitions), and our expectation for $80 to $90 million of free cash flow generation over the next 12 to 18 months.
The B2 ratings on PetVet's first-lien senior secured credit facilities is one notch higher than the B3 CFR. This reflects the facilities' first priority lien on substantially all assets. The Caa2 rating on its second-lien debt is two notches below the CFR. This reflects the effective subordination of the 2nd lien term loan to the 1st lien senior secured credit facilities. All senior secured facilities are guaranteed by all existing and future domestic subsidiaries of the borrower.

RATINGS RATIONALE
PetVet Care Centers, LLC's ("PetVet") B3 Corporate Family Rating reflects its very high financial leverage with Moody's-adjusted debt-to-EBITDA of 8.9x pro forma for proposed term loan add-ons and tuck-in acquisitions, for the LTM period ended March 31, 2022. Moody's anticipates for PetVet's aggressive financial policies to persist, reflecting a debt financed roll-up acquisition strategy and private equity ownership. There are risks to the company's rapid growth strategy, including an inability to integrate and manage growth, and a high level of recurring expenses which can constrain cash flow. Additionally, Moody's expects high competition for acquisitions from other veterinary hospital aggregators to keep acquisition multiples at elevated levels.
PetVet's rating benefits from the company's broad geographic footprint with about 426 locally branded animal hospitals across 36 states. The ratings are also supported by favorable long-term trends in the pet services industry that underpin healthy same-store sales growth in the low-to-mid-single digits. PetVet's ratings also benefits from strong recurring revenue supporting consistent positive free cash flow generation, and a proven ability to smoothly consolidate independent veterinary practices.
PetVet's very good liquidity profile is supported by sizable cash balance of approximately $500 million, pro forma for the proposed term loan add-ons (majority of which will be applied towards tuck-in acquisitions). This, together with Moody's expectation of free cash flow in the range of $80 to $90 million over the next 12 months, provide sufficient coverage for the required 1% mandatory amortization of its first lien term loan of approximately $28 million, annually. PetVet's liquidity is further supported by a $75 million revolving credit facility expiring in 2023. We expect this undrawn facility to be refinanced or extended in the second half of 2022.
Social and governance considerations are material to PetVet's credit profile. Growth in the number of US households that own pets provides for a favorable long term trend in the pet care sector that underpins healthy same-store sales growth. Among governance considerations, PetVet's financial policies under private equity ownership are aggressive, reflected in its ongoing strategy to supplement organic growth with primarily debt-funded acquisitions.
The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that while PetVet's financial leverage will remain very high, the company's relatively stable business profile, along with sustained positive free cash flow will support its very good liquidity.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
The ratings could be upgraded if the company delivers sustained revenue and earnings growth and is successful in integrating acquisitions. Moderation of financial policies, partially evidenced by financial leverage sustained below 6.5 times, while good cash flows and solid liquidity is maintained could also support a prospective upgrade.
The ratings could be downgraded if operational performance deteriorates, or liquidity weakens. Inability to manage its rapid growth, or if EBITA-to-interest falls below one times, could also put downgrade pressure on the company's ratings.

Former England international Paul Parker believes captain Harry Kane’s form may no longer merit a Three Lions starting berth and says the Tottenham striker should have been substituted during Tuesday’s 4-0 humiliation at the hands of Hungary.
England were comfortably beaten in the Nations League clash at Molineux – their biggest home loss since a 5-1 defeat to Scotland in March 1928.
Kane has not scored from open play in his last six international appearances, having last done so in a 10-0 demolition of minnows San Marino in November, in which he scored four goals in total.
Parker represented England 19 times during his career, including six World Cup outings, and thinks Kane’s recent performances do not warrant a place in the side.
He told the PA news agency: “Where was he? He was back on the halfway line trying to be a number 10. England needed a centre forward and he was not even in the game.
“Take Harry Kane off the pitch, he was not even trying. He didn’t even get past a sprint.
“Just because you are the captain it doesn’t mean you can’t be taken off. His season doesn’t suggest that he should be starting to be perfectly honest.
“Harry Kane gets recognition and he’s had a poor season. A player scoring from a penalty spot doesn’t mean you are in form.
“His club form has not been good, his national team form has not been good. You don’t even know he’s out there, to be honest.
“The problem is we haven’t got any other options.”
After the game, chants of “You don’t know what you’re doing” were aimed towards England boss Gareth Southgate, with the team yet to score from open play during their four Nations League matches or register a win.
With the World Cup less than six months away, England only have their remaining two Nations League games left to play before they start their Qatar campaign against Iran on November 21.
Parker pulled no punches when it came to addressing the players’ attitude in a Three Lions shirt and thinks the Premier League takes precedent over England duty for some.
“When it comes to playing for their country, England are one of the worst,” he said.
“It’s because we live in this world where we have the so-called best league in the world. We are putting that before playing for our country.
“Other countries don’t, they can’t get in there to represent their countries quick enough and we have players that are looking for ways to get out of it.”
Parker is a long-time supporter of Prostate Cancer UK and clocked up 145 miles on his bike last weekend, cycling from the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park’s Lee Valley VeloPark to Amsterdam and raising more than £320,000.
It was the second time Parker has completed a bike ride for the charity. Soon after his first ride, Parker discovered that his own father had been diagnosed with the most common cancer among men.
“It took up until the point of my dad getting it (prostate cancer) for me to go and have a test,” explained Parker.
“Now I’m at the forefront of a survey of black people getting tested and hopefully it will encourage other black people to get tested.
“I’ve got two boys, I’m thinking of them. I’ll let them know what I’m doing and what my intentions are and the rest is up to them whether they want to get tested.”
:: More than 11,500 men die from prostate cancer each year, with over 30 men estimated to die this Father’s Day alone. But prostate cancer can often be cured if it’s caught early enough.
In the build-up to Father’s Day, Prostate Cancer UK’s #OdetoDads campaign celebrates all the little things the British public love about dads, to remind us what we miss when they are not here.

A complex low pressure system and its attending boundaries will clash with an unstable air mass today. It will result in the threat for strong to severe storms, especially as we head into the late afternoon and early evening. As for this morning, isolated showers and a clap or two of thunder are possible as a warm front lifts northeast. The precipitation arrives as temperatures start off in the 50s and 60s.
The afternoon will get very interesting as we have scheduled peeks of sunshine throughout the day along with blustery south winds of 15-30+ mph. The sunshine and mild breezes will help to push temperatures into the upper 70s to middle 80s and dew point readings into the 60s. All of those weather ingredients will clash with our incoming cold front for late today.
That cold front is expected to produce strong to severe thunderstorms from the St. Lawrence River Valley and all the way over to the Champlain Valley. The Storm Prediction Center has issued as high as an enhanced risk (3 out of 5 on the severe weather scale) for St. Lawrence County.
Heavy rain and damaging winds are likely with any one storm. We’re also monitoring the potential for hail and isolated tornado. Make sure to have multiple ways to receive severe weather alerts (Local 22/44 App, NOAA Weather Radio, etc.) in case a warning gets issued for your area.
Tomorrow, that low pressure system slowly trails away into northern Maine leaving behind partly to mostly cloudy skies and a few leftover showers. The best chance for lingering showers will occur during the afternoon on Friday all as highs achieve the upper 70s to low 80s. | https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/weather/weather-strong-t-storms-likely-today/ | 2022-06-16T18:29:01Z | https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/weather/weather-strong-t-storms-likely-today/ | true | 1 |

MIAMI, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DeFi protocol Paribus announces launch of their testnet MVP, the beginning of a new approach to DeFi. Secure, trustless, and truly decentralized, Paribus users will be able to borrow against previously illiquid digital assets like NFTs.
Paribus, a DeFi borrowing and lending protocol focused on evolving with new digital asset classes, is launching the testnet MVP of their platform. Their testnet MVP will feature traditional borrowing and lending with standard crypto assets for members of their silver and gold staking pools, as well as any individual wallet address that has participated in any of Paribus' staking programs. Paribus Ambassadors will also be able to participate.
Paribus currently offers staking in their silver and gold staking pools. The silver pool, Argenti, allows users to stake between 500,000 and 3,000,000 PBX, locked for 180 days in return for a reward level of a minimum of 25% APY. The gold pool, Aurum, allows users to stake from 1,000,000 to 6,000,000 PBX for 365 days for a minimum of 30% APY reward level. Since these are dynamic APYs, rewards can increase, as current APY for Argenti is 73% and 54% for Aurum.
There is a growing need for both interoperability and the ability to borrow against exotic assets like NFTs in DeFi. The NFT space is growing, institutional investors are becoming more interested in the potential of cryptocurrency, and the industry grows leaps and bounds every day. Paribus plans to be the platform for DeFi lending, leveraging their tech and security to bring users a well-rounded experience. Their full MVP launch will include APY boosts, and attractive rates and returns for users.
This is just the beginning of the Paribus roadmap. With a team that believes in steady growth, strong fundamentals, and providing a new level of security for users, Paribus will bring much-needed legitimacy to DeFi borrowing and lending.

Embattled Police Minister Poto Williams has been replaced, while Kris Faafoi and Trevor Mallard are leaving Parliament altogether.
The reshuffle has seen a shake-up involving some big names, with Chris Hipkins taking over as Police Minister.

Ardern said Faafoi - one of the Cabinet's most senior ministers with the immigration, broadcasting and justice portfolios - had decided to leave Parliament to spend time with his family as his son starts school.
Michael Wood takes over Faafoi's immigration portfolio and former radio host Willie Jackson will take over broadcasting. Kiri Allan will now be Justice Minister and Associate Finance Minister.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Indent Inc, the company behind on-demand access control, has successfully completed their Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II audit for a period of one year. Conducted by Moss Adams, the Indent Platform was evaluated for the Trust Services Criteria of security, availability, and confidentiality.
SOC audits focus on practices in areas like firewalls, multi-factor authentication, disaster recovery, encryption, and performance or process monitoring. Type I reporting covers design, documentation, and point in time evidence. Type II reports provide insight into operational effectiveness of specified controls over a period of three to twelve months.
"There has been a macro shift in the stage at which companies start pursuing SOC 2 compliance. Driven by a desire to sell into larger enterprises, startups strive for compliance earlier in their lifecycle. We're building a solution that will work for those early stage companies that will also be able to meet their needs as they grow.
We've achieved our own SOC 2 Type II certification using the Indent Platform to implement time-bound minimal access, record audit logs for every access control change, and generate audit evidence for our report. This milestone is important because it both gives our customers insight into our operations and increases our empathy to ensure we are building the right solution for companies as they pursue their own compliance attestations like SOC 2," said Indent CEO, Fouad Matin.
The Indent Platform facilitates on-demand access to cloud apps and infrastructure. It is a critical vendor for innovative companies pursuing SOC 2 compliance, providing change management for access control. With Indent, users can request access from the web or Slack and get approved in seconds for time-bound, auto-expiring access. Indent was founded by YC W16 alumni Dan Gillespie and Fouad Matin and is backed by Index Ventures.

The GCRE Impact Fund is part of Gardner Capital's Alternative Investments Platform, which provides funding for projects promoting clean energy for multi-family housing or upward social mobility.
Solar energy is the fastest-growing energy source in the United States, according to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions. However, its use in multi-family housing generally remains low. With its Alternative Investments Fund, Gardner Capital aims to change that. Gardner Capital through the GCRE Impact Fund plans to deploy up to $500,000 annually to expand access to clean energy with grants and soft loans to both individuals and businesses submitting innovative proposals.
"We are thrilled to announce GCRE Impact Fund's funding commitment to install solar at Provision at Melissa.

Applicants can apply for funding from GCRE Impact Fund through the Alternative Investments Fund on Gardner Capital's website; funding is capped at $25,000 for any one specific proposal (subject to waiver for special considerations). All proposals that focus on increasing access to, or adoption of, renewable energy (or renewable energy related projects) will be considered with a preference for proposals that are also focused on serving low to moderate-income families or other underserved populations and communities
Located at 2650 East Melissa Road, in Melissa, Provision at Melissa is a multi-family community, which will offer 120 units. The solar addition, funded by the GCRE Impact Fund, will be yet another amenity offered at the property, which will also offer a fitness center, energy efficient appliances and a pool, among other amenities. Construction is expected to be complete by the end of 2022.
Gardner Capital is a private equity firm and alternative investment platform with multiple operating businesses focused on affordable housing and renewable energy development, tax credit syndication, as well as real estate-related investments, joint ventures and capital partner relationships. The firm has offices in St. Louis, Dallas, Houston and Orlando. Since 1992, Gardner Capital has placed more than $3 billion of equity in affordable housing and related investments. In recent years, Gardner Capital added a rapidly growing national platform for solar development and investments, expanding its commitment to renewable energy and sustainability across its investment platform. Additionally, the firm launched multiple alternative investment funds focused on renewable energy and EV adoption, upward mobility and investments in underserved markets. We are committed to investing in communities, supporting upward mobility, and improving the wellbeing of families by developing, investing and increasing access to capital for affordable housing, clean energy and entrepreneurs.

Launched in 2020, the GCRE Impact Fund provides low interest soft loans, grants and other equity – investing in neighborhoods, people and businesses with innovative small business concepts or investments with notable local and neighborhood impact.

Aaryn Flynn says Nightingale's a survival game with a "richer set of storylines"
And we touch on building a home in a realm-hopping worldNightingale is an upcoming PvE open-world survival craft 'em up by Inflexion Games, a studio led by former BioWare boss Aaryn Flynn. Imogen (RPS in peace) spoke with him earlier this year about the game's gaslamp fantasy setting and why they chose to enter the survival genre gauntlet, among many other things. At this year's Summer Geoff Fest, I caught up with Flynn for another quick chat. This time, we dug into the game's recently revealed card crafting and realm-hopping features, as well as the choices you might make along the way.
As a Realmwalker, your aim is to reach the mysterious city of Nightingale by flitting through portals. Once upon a time these portals formed a network that ran as smoothly as Japan's subway system, but it has since collapsed, meaning it now resembles a bus timetable out in the sticks. There is some hope, though, as you're able to craft Realm Cards that'll give you some semblance of control over the chaos, including weather, challenges, and biomes. Feeding them into the game's procedural generation machine spits out a realm that – in theory – meets those conditions you set out on paper.
And as for that card crafting system, it looks as if you'll set the foundations of a realm by picking three or four cards and melding them together. I asked whether you're able to build a deck of permanent cards you draw from, or whether they're consumed with each use. Flynn admits that they've not quite nailed this down yet.
"Truthfully, we haven't decided yet how it's gonna work. I think it'll depend on how we ultimately balance it. It's not intended that the realm card crafting itself is supposed to be to grind or anything like that," he says. "But at the same time, we do want going through a portal to be a very conscious choice. And so, if we have them consumed, then you're like, 'Okay, do I really want to go onto here?' If we do, 'Let's go do it'. So, we just gotta get the balance right when we playtest that." Obviously, it's all up in the air, but there's a sense that they're going down the consumable route. This would make sense, right? As - like Flynn mentions - they want realm hopping to be a "conscious choice" as opposed to grabbing an Uber every five minutes.
"we're leading you on a hopefully richer set of storylines to meet other NPCs"
Aside from hopping between realms and building bases, Nightingale sees you chase down the magical city of the same name. But it's not been explicitly stated how the game's structured to help you do so. Where you might have Valheim, V Rising, and Terraria tasking you with building a home, crafting and powering up, then hunting a sequence of progressively difficult bosses, Flynn tells me that Nightingale both a bit more open-ended than this, and more story-focused.
"You do have quests. But I don't think we're as structured as Valheim, like 'Go kill five gods to earn the favour of Odin', you know? Instead, we're leading you on a hopefully richer set of storylines to meet other NPCs and stuff, and they'll each have things to do," he says. "Some of those might be kill a boss, some might be something else, right? And some might be, 'Oh, well, I've got two ways to solve this'. So, I think some of that RPG history is going to come out from us in that side of things."
Thinking about it, what Flynn says rings true. V Rising, Valheim and Terraria are fantastic games, don't get me wrong, but they lack NPCs with any character aside from the odd voice line. Building a bond is difficult when all they're interested in is sending you away on a quest or selling you stuff in total silence. When I ask whether you'll build meaningful relationships with any of the NPCs in the game, Flynn says that "they'll give you objectives," and "failing to meet those objectives isn't going to do you any favours," giving away nothing more than a wry smile. It seems like Flynn's BioWare past, that RPG history he mentions, is indeed spilling into Nightingale. He does let me in on a little something else, though.
"What we're trying to offer for Nightingale is not every interaction has to be lethal. If you look at our original trailer, there's a moment where the giant bends down and puts his hand up like this." Flynn copies the gesture. "And you can actually give the giant an offering rather than just killing it, and then progress things that way."
The giant is just one of the creatures shown in footage so far. Opposite us there's a big screen rolling footage of the forests and red skies, all of which are inhabited by many species of nope. While card crafting sounds rather exciting, it does have its limits when it comes to the number of biomes you can force it to crank out. I ask whether it's able to generate a realm with a mash of environments, and Flynn says right now it's one biome per world. "But give our technology a little more time to do stuff like that," he adds, so perhaps the procedural machine could evolve to better accommodate our requests.
But with all this realm-hopping, how's one meant to build a home? Aren't you just going to shift between realms and forever be stuck in a cycle of leaving your base behind and constructing ill-fated new homes? Wouldn't that be tiring? Exhausting? Agonising? Well! Flynn tells me that they've got it covered, don't worry. "You can build your base in whatever realm you want. And then once you build your base there, you can declare that as what we call your 'respite realm'," he explains. "And once it's your respite realm, then that's where you're gonna log out, log back in, and then you can go adventuring from there. But there's no universal specific realm that is always the one you go back to. You decide which one you want it to be."
A massive relief, basically. Although it's going to be hard to pick just one respite realm as your home, especially as you'll bounce between realms all the time. From the latest Summer Geoff Fest trailer, it looks like there are some lovely looking spots, like hazy woodland zones and murky marshlands and sandy deserts. You're just going to have to choose wisely or reassign your respite later down the line. Because realms are procedurally generated, it's hard to get back to one specific place. Flynn says if you really really like somewhere, you'd be wise to make it your respite realm and move your base there - or else just move on to new adventures.
I'm curious about Nightingale and whether it can actually balance this ambition with meaningful story beats, especially as the card crafting system hasn't been finalised yet. But if it can pull off strong procedural generation that does indeed cater to our cards, then it presents an extremely exciting prospect. Here's hoping that later this year Inflexion's ready to talk about the sort of quests and side activities each biome has to offer. Minerals? Caves filled with bandits? I need to know.
Nightingale is set to enter early access at the tail end of this year, and you can find out more over on Steam and the Epic Games Store. | https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/aaryn-flynn-says-nightingales-a-survival-game-with-a-richer-set-of-storylines | 2022-06-16T18:39:47Z | https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/aaryn-flynn-says-nightingales-a-survival-game-with-a-richer-set-of-storylines | true | 1 |

NEW YORK (AP) — Silenced for two years, the Songwriters Hall of Fame is ready to party again, welcoming a diverse set of artists for its Class of 2022, including pop diva Mariah Carey, the weirdly cool producers the Neptunes, the British electro-pop band Eurythmics, psychedelic bluesman Steve Miller and the iconic Isley Brothers.
The songwriters will be honored at a pandemic-delayed gala Thursday night at the Marriott Marquis in New York. While a list of performers and presenters has not been revealed, past inductees have been serenaded or hailed by the likes of Lady Gaga, Stevie Nicks, Billy Joel, Jon Bon Jovi and Ed Sheeran.
Lil Nas X will also be honored Thursday with the Hal David Starlight Award, which recognizes “gifted young songwriters who are making a significant impact in the music industry via their original songs.”
The ceremony has been described as a cross between the Grammy Awards and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame festivities. Songwriters are eligible for induction after writing hit songs for at least 20 years and the hall includes such iconic songwriters as Burt Bacharach, Missy Elliott, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Billy Joel and Carly Simon. New annual slates are voted on by the membership.
Carey, whose hits include “We Belong Together” and “Hero,” released her self-titled debut album in 1990. With 19 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, she is only behind the Beatles, who had 20 songs top the chart. Carey is the only artist to have No. 1 hits in the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s.
Ronald, Rudolph and O’Kelly Isley crafted three volcanic singles from 1959-62: “Shout,” “Respectable” and “Twist and Shout.” And for the next 30 years — joined in 1969 by younger brothers Marvin and Ernie Isley and cousin Chris Jasper — they made even more: “That Lady,” ’’Fight the Power,” "Work to Do,” "Harvest for the World” and “For the Love of You.”
Miller perfected a psychedelic blues sound with such hits as “Take the Money and Run,” “Fly Like an Eagle,” “Abracadabra,” “The Joker,” “Jet Airliner” and “Jungle Love.” Miller’s “Greatest Hits 1974-78” is among the 25 bestselling albums of all time.
The members of Eurythmics — Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart — led the New Wave charge in the 1980s with songs like “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” and “Here Comes the Rain Again.” This year they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The Neptunes are the creative, innovative production-songwriting duo of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo who shaped pop and urban radio from the ’90s well into the 2000s thanks to crafting hits for Britney Spears, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Usher and Beyoncé.
Non-performing solo nominees this year are William “Mickey” Stevenson, a producer during Motown's golden era, and Rick Nowels, who co-wrote over 60 Top 20 singles worldwide, including Belinda Carlisle’s global hit “Heaven is a Place on Earth.”
Master songwriter Paul Williams will receive the Johnny Mercer Award, and Universal executive Jody Gerson will receive the Abe Olman Publisher Award.

BOSTON (AP) — Stephen Curry and the Warriors have been within a game of clinching a championship in three of Golden State’s previous five trips to the NBA Finals during his 13-year NBA career.
Back again and with a 3-2 series lead on the Celtics, Curry says he’ll lean on that experience when he takes the court at Boston’s TD Garden on Thursday night.
“You just understand what the nerves are like,” Curry said. “At the end of the day, once you get out there, you just have to be in the moment. You got to be present as much as possible, not worry about the consequences of a win or a loss. The only opportunity you have is that 48 minutes.”
The Warriors’ core of Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green is still around from the 2015 championship run. They’re on the verge of capturing their fourth title in eight seasons with new additions to the floor — like Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole — who have never been in this position.
Curry’s advice to them: Lie to yourself a little bit.
“The more you can trick your mind into being in the moment and staying there, that’s the best advice I can give anybody in that situation,” he said. “Because it’s going to be the hardest game you probably ever played in your career because of what the stakes are.”
The stakes will be equally high for the Celtics, who let the turnover demons that have haunted them at times throughout the postseason prevent them from seizing a commanding 3-1 series lead.
Boston limited Curry to his lowest scoring output of the finals in Game 5, but couldn’t overcome 18 turnovers. The Celtics dropped to 1-7 this postseason when committing 16 turnovers or more — and lost consecutive games for the first time since the end of March.
But they have a chance to force Game 7 — and the chance is coming at the Garden, where they are 6-5 in the playoffs.
The mood at the close of Wednesday’s practice session was loose, with players smiling and joking while getting up some shots. Celtics star Jayson Tatum said the optimism comes from the team’s extremely recent playoff history.
Boston’s path to the finals has included Game 7 victories over Milwaukee in the second round and Miami in the conference finals. The Celtics entered the finals as only the 12th team in league history to win back-to-back Game 7s in the preceding rounds.
“In those moments, we just responded. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I think just our will to want to win, just trying to figure it out,” Tatum said. “I think my thought process, as it was in that game, Game 7 against the Heat, it was just do whatever it takes to win.”
That, and reminding himself and teammates of the fact that there is still basketball left to play.
“It’s the first to four. It’s not over with,” Tatum said. “So as long as it’s not over with, you got a chance.”
MY BALL
Tatum and Green had one of the more memorable moments in Game 5, when Tatum refused to let Green take the ball from him as he walked to the bench during timeout.
The play was an example of the head games Green has tried to play against a young Celtics team throughout the finals.
On Wednesday, Tatum clutched a basketball throughout his news conference. He was asked by a reporter if he was still keeping it away from Green.
“Oh, like the other day?” Tatum asked. “Yeah, It’s my ball.”
ENOUGH TALK
One thing Celtics coach Ime Udoka wants to eliminate heading into Game 6 is his team complaining to referees about calls.
Boston picked up a pair of technical fouls in the loss — one in the first quarter by Udoka and another by Marcus Smart early in the fourth. Smart’s technical was followed immediately by an offensive foul call against him, which led to a 3-pointer by Golden State.
“I think in general just too many conversations being had at times. Feels like after foul calls or dead balls, free throws, timeouts, there’s somebody talking to a ref,” Udoka said. “We’ve got to spend our energy on the game, and everything else going in between, other than the referees.”

SEATTLE, June 16, 2022 /CNW/ -- Quark Expeditions, the global leader in polar adventures, recently launched the Arctic 2022 season with the 7-day Spitsbergen Highlights: Expedition in Brief voyage, which earned rave reviews from guests whose experiences in the Norwegian Arctic surpassed all expectations. The successful expedition also marked Ultramarine's inaugural voyage in Arctic waters.
The technologically-advanced Ultramarine, with its 20 quick-deploy Zodiacs, advanced sustainability systems, superb onboard amenities (including a sauna with floor-to-ceiling windows), and the largest portfolio of off-ship adventure options in the industry, enabled guests to explore the Norwegian Arctic unlike never before. "Ultramarine was designed to be more than a ship," said Andrew White, President of Quark Expeditions. "It was built to be an unrivalled operational base for polar adventures. Proof of that is in the unforgettable adventures guests enjoyed on Ultramarine's first voyage in the Arctic."
Guests aboard the game-changing ship were able to witness up close the transformative beauty of Spitsbergen, which is known for its towering cliffs, immense glaciers, snow-covered mountains and deep fjords. The guests on Ultramarine were equally awed by the wildlife sightings—of whales, walruses, seabirds and the almighty polar bear!—which were made possible by Ultramarine's fleet of quick-launching Zodiacs and spacious viewing decks.
Guests also attributed the astounding success of their voyage to the polar expertise of the Quark Expeditions staff and crew. "The team of expedition leaders was very impressive in the scope of their expertise and backgrounds," wrote guest Christine F. "The staff and crew made it their mission to [offer] us the most activities and photo ops they could stuff into each day. We will talk about this fulfilling adventure for a very long time and will recommend it to anyone who asks." Other guests appreciated the onboard presentations by staff and guest speakers, which enhanced their appreciation for the Polar Regions and deepened their knowledge of the wildlife, geology and history of Arctic Norway. The shore visit at Smeerenburg, for example, allowed guests to visit the remains of an abandoned Dutch whalers' settlement, which was one of Europe's northernmost outposts dating back 1619.
With the surge in demand for polar voyages due to the recent lifting of travel restrictions around the world, Quark Expeditions has extended the Arctic 2022 season to the end of September, offering guests additional opportunities to explore this fascinating, wildlife-rich destination in the Land of the Midnight Sun.

I recently had the opportunity to become a mentor to Olusegun Obdubena through Migrant Help’s Dream Academy mentoring scheme.
Olusegun is from Nigeria and claimed asylum in the UK. His dreams were to be able to work in the UK in an administrative office job. I helped Olusegun by listening to his story and offering some advice and counselling on some of the challenges he’s facing and to help prepare him for his interviews.
Migrant Help’s Dream Academy enables entrepreneurs to pass on transferrable business skills to refugees wanting to enter the workplace. The scheme consists of 1:1 mentoring sessions to help refugees and those seeking asylum to identify and take steps needed to achieve their career and business goals.
Refugees have dreams and aspirations like everyone. On arrival into the UK they can encounter a plethora of barriers that most of us (thankfully) won’t face, preventing them from working towards their life and career objectives. Some of these barriers can include access to the most basic of resources (mobile phone, internet connection, a network of friends/family/former colleagues, education and finance).
Below I have outlined the top five tips for business leaders who want to become a careers or business mentor and help transform someone’s career prospects.
One key tip to be a good mentor is effective communication. I’ve found it helpful to ask open-ended questions, listen carefully and respectfully, be patient (English isn’t usually refugees’ first language) and non-judgemental. Playing back what you’ve heard is a good way of ensuring that you’ve correctly understood what is being said to you.
Another tip is to offer supportive feedback and advice that empowers your mentee to move towards their goal(s). This might involve discussing your own experiences and insights and might require you to open up too, and show some vulnerability.
When mentoring refugees in particular it can feel overwhelming – for you and for your mentee. That’s when it’s important to focus on the positive of what you can do. Progress might be measured in a series of baby steps rather than giant leaps and your mentee will be appreciative of the help and supportive framing of their challenges.
Upon commencing your mentoring sessions, gain an understanding of what your mentee wants from the relationship and work collaboratively to agree on what is realistically achievable.
To be a good mentor, remember you’re there to serve your mentee. Teach with purpose, love and compassion and a desire to see your mentee fulfil their goals and live their fullest life.
Mentoring is incredibly rewarding, can often be quite humbling, and you’ll likely find that through the process you learn something from your mentee too.
Refugees in the UK have, for the most part, arrived here with nothing but their dreams and hopes for a better life. Business leaders have so much to offer that could help transform a persons life by sharing their insights and experiences. I can’t think of anything more fulfilling than that.
