This past weekend was the best of my life as Keegan and I said “I do.” While I’m excited to share an overview of the day, it will have to wait until next week as I want to focus on a specific moment of the wedding day in honor of this weekend being Father’s Day.
My Dad is an incredible person. He’s very thoughtful and creative and all of this was brought to light in a surprise he had for me for our father-daughter dance.
When Keegan and I finished our first dance, I looked to my Dad for what I thought would be a dance to “Isn’t She Lovely” by Stevie Wonder. I saw him with a microphone in hand and knew instantly he had another idea up his sleeve.
He took to the mic saying he wanted to share the dance with my grandpa, Jack, and my stepdad, Dan. This thoughtfulness brought a tear to my eye, as Grandpa and Dan are both very special to me and played a big role in my upbringing.
I hit the dance floor with Grandpa as “The Way You Look Tonight” began to play. In the background, I noticed my Dad had set up a projector with a slideshow of photos from over the years.
The overwhelm of emotions, mixed with hearing my Grandpa sing along to the music, took me from misty-eyed to full-on happy tears.
The music changed over to “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life,” and Dan tapped in for a dance. All I could think of in that moment is a photo that hangs in his and my Mom’s house of Dan and I dancing on their wedding day almost 20 years ago.
We were all touched by my Dad having this idea, and I thought that was the end of the surprises. I should know better when it comes to Mike Leddin.
When it was his turn to dance, a song began to play that I didn’t quite recognize. When the vocals began, my brain quickly caught up with my ears.
“Is this you singing?” I asked him.
“Yes. I couldn’t quite find the right song, so I wrote you one,” he said.
I’m still in disbelief from this gift.
My Dad loves a good karaoke session, but to write lyrics and record a song is a bit out of his comfort zone, and the fact he did that means as much to me as the words of the song.
The next day, while opening gifts, the surprises continued as I unwrapped a framed poster containing the lyrics to “Taylor’s Song” along with a photo of 3-year-old me.
Allow me to indulge a few lines from the song:
You look so beautiful on your wedding day; Takes me to the moment when I first saw your face; All of those memories are mine to embrace; So thankful that you are my girl.
I was your dance partner not long ago; You mean the world to me, more than you know; Let me hold you close for now, as I let you go; So thankful that you are my girl.
Time changes everything, life must go on; And it’s my honor to give you away.
But I love you first, I held you first; A place in my heart will always be yours; From the first breath you breathed; When you first smiled at me; I knew that the love of a father runs deep; I am so happy on your wedding day; But it’s still hard to give you away; I loved you first. | https://www.daily-journal.com/life/a-taylor-made-life-father-daughter-dance/article_7a47b6f2-ecc3-11ec-bedb-5fadf65015e0.html | 2022-06-18T18:14:53Z | https://www.daily-journal.com/life/a-taylor-made-life-father-daughter-dance/article_7a47b6f2-ecc3-11ec-bedb-5fadf65015e0.html | false | 1 |
During the early years of the American Civil War, a one-time Chicago police detective served as the eyes and ears of President Abraham Lincoln and his generals. Allan Pinkerton was the spymaster for the Union forces, running a network of agents in border states and behind Confederate lines.
A native of Glasgow, Scotland, Pinkerton immigrated to the United States in 1842 and settled in the small town of Dundee, where he opened a cooperage (barrel-making business). Following an incident in which he helped capture a gang of counterfeiters, he began following a career in law enforcement. By 1850, he had founded a private detective agency, and built a reputation for solving train robberies.
Pinkerton’s work for the railroads led, in 1861, to a very important commission: providing security for President-elect Lincoln on the train journey to Washington, D.C., for his inauguration. Detectives from Pinkerton’s agency had uncovered a plot to assassinate Lincoln as he changed trains in Baltimore, Md.
The President-elect’s train was scheduled to arrive in Baltimore on the afternoon of Feb. 23, 1861. Pinkerton arranged for a special train that would bring Lincoln to Baltimore in the early morning hours. The transfer to a Washington-bound train was made without incident.
For the next several years, Pinkerton would head the Union Intelligence Service, sending his spies deep into the Confederacy to gather information on Rebel plans and capabilities. Operating under the alias “Major E. J. Allen,” Pinkerton himself carried out several hazardous undercover forays through the South. In the later years of the war, he returned to private life, building his Chicago-based Pinkerton National Detective Agency into a major business.
In 1864, Allan Pinkerton made a purchase that would have a lasting effect on the small town of Onarga, Ill. On Jan. 9 of that year, he paid the Illinois Central Railroad $4,067.52 for a 254-acre tract of prairie land just north of the Iroquois County town. He eventually would develop the property into a retreat where he could escape the pressures of living in a big city and operating a high-stress business.
Work began on what he called “Larch Farm” in the early 1870s, with the laying out of carriage drives lined by orderly rows what would become towering larch trees. The larch was an evergreen common in Pinkerton’s native Scotland; he imported a shipload (some 85,000 saplings) of the trees to transplant at Onarga.
A variety of outbuildings included a huge horse barn referred to as “Big Jumbo,” a root cellar, milk house and a structure serving as Pinkerton’s wine cellar. The estate also included a small artificial lake with a rustic bridge.
The centerpiece of Larch Farm, however, was the main house, erected in 1873, which its owner called “The Villa.” About 40 feet square, with a 6-foot-wide porch on each of its four sides, the building was one and one-half stories tall.
Atop its roof was an 8-foot-square cupola, with windows on all sides, surmounted by a flagpole. Whenever Pinkerton was “in residence,” the Stars and Stripes waved from the flagpole.
A report for the Historic American Buildings Survey, written in 1937, described the interior: “The structure as originally built consisted of six rooms, three on each side of a wide hall that ran the entire length of the building. The sides of this hall above the wainscoting are adorned with paintings of battle scenes and officers of the Civil War.”
The floor plan of the building in the HABS report shows three bedrooms on the south side of the hallway. On the north side, two of the rooms are labeled “Social Room.” The third space, on the northeast corner of the house, bears the mysterious description, “Room of Silence.”
The walls of that room were brick-lined to make it soundproof. It possibly was used for meetings between Pinkerton and his agents or for conferring with detective agency clients.
“About 50 feet north of the Villa was a low building called the ‘Snuggery,’” recalled Russell Palmer, whose boyhood home adjoined Larch Farm.
In a memoir published by the Iroquois County Genealogical Society, Palmer noted “it consisted of one large room with a low sloping roof and was designed primarily for drinking purposes and to provide a half underground wine cellar for the owner’s supply of rare old Scotch whisky, vintage French wines and cordials. It was connected with the Villa by an underground passage.”
Views on life at “Larch Farm” varied from one writer to another. In his 1948 book, “Old Illinois Houses,” author John Drury quoted Danville historian Clint Clay Tilton: “The villa never was used as a family home, but was the scene of many a high carnival when he went there with his cronies for days of relaxation. Within the walls of the historic house, leaders in sports, the stage, writers of note and painters of national reputation would gather as his guests.”
Quite a different description was recorded by Russell Palmer in the memoir he wrote at age 94. “Except during the cold winter months, Allan Pinkerton was a frequent visitor to Larch Farm. He would come from Chicago on what was then known in Onarga as the ‘noon train.’
“Upon its arrival at the Onarga depot of the Illinois Central Railroad, he would be met and driven to Larch Farm, where he would have dinner and after a tour of inspection would be driven back to Onarga in time to take the ‘afternoon four o’clock train’ back to Chicago.
“Occasionally, he would spend a weekend instead of only one day, but he always came from and returned to Chicago on these trains. ... According to my personal observations, Allan Pinkerton entertained but few guests at Larch Farm. ... He was a reserved Scot, devoid of social ambition. ... I never knew him to associate with or even be friendly with any resident of Onarga.”
Allan Pinkerton died July 1, 1884, at the age of 64. His sons Robert and William inherited Larch Farm, but had little interest in using it as their father had. The Villa stood empty, and much of the estate’s acreage was converted to cropland. In 1911, the property was purchased by Onarga banker Benjamin Durham; in 1967, Durham’s niece’s heirs sold Larch Farm to the Bork Nursery Company.
Owner Leslie Bork made some repairs to keep the nearly century-old building from deteriorating further. In 2009, Onarga resident Lori Benson acquired the Villa from Bailey Nurseries, which had purchased Bork Nursery Company. She moved the building to her nearby property and embarked upon a several-year restoration project. | https://www.daily-journal.com/news/local/klasey-the-spymaster-s-villa/article_513b4ee2-eda7-11ec-973b-4b4673c1b4d2.html | 2022-06-18T18:16:36Z | https://www.daily-journal.com/news/local/klasey-the-spymaster-s-villa/article_513b4ee2-eda7-11ec-973b-4b4673c1b4d2.html | true | 1 |
Hartlepool United's Paul Hartley intends to 'dip into' Scottish market
Last updated on .From the section Scottish
Paul Hartley intends to recruit from the Scottish leagues after moving to Hartlepool United.
The Scot, 45, left Cove Rangers after winning promotion to the Scottish Championship while Hartlepool finished 17th in England's League Two last term.
Hartley has been replaced at Cove by former Dundee and Ross County boss Jim McIntyre.
"I do think that we'll have to dip into the market in Scotland," Hartley told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound.
"It's really important that you take people that you know can do a good job for you. I want to try and make my own stamp on the team in how we play.
"There are so many players that have been made available to us, so many agents have been on the phone. We're short of numbers. I've got 12 outfield players.
"For Scottish players it's a good opportunity for them to get to England. Maybe a younger player who has got real ambition.
"We're not just building a team, I think we need to build a club at Hartlepool."
'Why not aim for the top end of the table?'
All of Hartley's previous managerial jobs have been in his homeland but he did have playing spells with Millwall and Bristol City.
"I'm still hungry, I still love football and I think I just wanted to try something different," he explained. "It's something new to me.
"You would sum Hartlepool up as, potentially, a sleeping giant. There's a lot of potential. We average 5,500-6,000 fans. Very loyal fans, very passionate. They just live for football on a Saturday.
"I'm really looking forward to the challenge in front of us. There's a lot of work in front of us.
"Why not aim for the top end of the table? It's up to myself, staff, players to try and create the right culture at the club."

Monique Clarke Brown has pulled double duty with her law practice and this restaurant, which she opened to show her love of her home country, Jamaica, and its culture and food. Along with husband Alexis Brown — an entrepreneur, event planner and chef — she opened Reggae Roots in May in the space that formerly was Vincenzo’s NY To Chicago Pizzeria. That location is important. “We wanted to give [people] a new way of looking at Jamaican food,” Clarke Brown says. “To start, a new geographical location in South Florida; our customers have been so elated and warmly welcomed us as they have been longing for our cuisine without the long drive.” So far, the most popular dishes are oxtail, curried goat, jerk chicken and pineapple barbecue chicken. Prices range from $3 to $28. The interior seats 10 people and the outside lounge seats an additional eight. 4370 N.

Chhatarpur (Madhya Pradesh): Infighting has been considered as the hallmark of the Congress Party from decades but in Chhatarpur district, now BJP leaders are also worried about internal conflicts within the party workers ahead of the civic body polls.
Due to the internal strife brewing among the party workers after the release of the official list of candidates, who would contest for the post of corporator in urban body elections, senior leaders have to change their decisions and release a new list of candidates.
It is being reported that on Thursday night, BJP district president Malkhan Singh released a list of 15 ward candidates but within half-an-hour, the official announcement of the party came to amend the earlier list.
On the next day, BJP district president Malkhan Singh along with party’s district general secretary Arvind Pateria and district organisation incharge Awadhesh Nayak visited Bhopal and met state BJP president VD Sharma and discussed about unexpected internal conflicts of party workers in some wards. A separate meeting to resolve the issue was held in Sagar in presence of cabinet ministers including Gopal Bhargava, Govind Singh Rajput and Bhupendra Singh were present.
After two meetings in Bhopal and Sagar, a fresh official list of 10 out of the total 15 candidates has been released but names of candidates from Chhatarpur, Nowgong, Maharajpur, Gadhimalhara and Harpalpur have been put on hold.
On the other hand, the Congress party has also not announced the names of any of its 15 candidates to contest for the post of corporators in urban body election.
There have been rumours doing the rounds that there is a possibility that Congress would release candidates list just before the final date of filing nominations to avoid infighting among the party workers so that they could not contest as independent candidates.

London-based Jordan Bowen and Luca Marchetto are relative newcomers to the Milan scene and are trying to get their message to come across, insisting for spring on the punk-tinged tropes that have defined their nascent career.
“It’s really a fusion, a cultural clash of Italy’s heritage and London’s counterculture,” said Bowen backstage preshow.
One must say, the latter reference was predominant. Boxy and padded sculptural shouldered blazers came with zippers crossing the chest; worn over baggy Bermudas, they were the punk-ish version of a suit; oversized trenchcoats and flight jackets were also sliced open with zippering and paired with flared, raw-hemmed, low-rise denim exuding a mischievous bent, while leather pieces such as croc-embossed pants and trenchcoats had an exciting dark tinge.
Backstage, Bowen insisted that the brand’s aesthetic is very much in tune with the designers’ often clashing emotions, and described fashion creativity as cathartic, especially as it helped both go through a period of substance abuse. The collection is “wistful, it has anger and rage, but there’s also joy…we can be everything at once,” he said.
The last model, his cunning gaze and gait intimidating yet somewhat captivating, wore a simple all-black sleeveless top and flared denim combo. It marked a much-needed moment of relief from the show’s extravaganza. | https://wwd.com/runway/mens-spring-2023/milan/jordanluca/review/ | 2022-06-18T18:27:52Z | https://wwd.com/runway/mens-spring-2023/milan/jordanluca/review/ | false | 1 |
Trump endorses Daniel Cameron’s bid for governor in Kentucky
Republican Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron seeks to challenge Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear next year
Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron won former President Donald Trump’s endorsement Thursday evening in his 2023 bid for governor, offering a momentum boost given the ex-president’s enduring popularity among Republican voters in the state.
In a news release that Cameron tweeted from his own account, Trump said he has known Cameron since the beginning of the Kentuckian’s “meteoric rise,” describing the first-term attorney general as “absolutely outstanding in every way.”
“At every level, Daniel has stood out, he will be a great governor of Kentucky, and has my complete and total endorsement,” Trump said.
Cameron tweeted his thanks to the former president soon after the endorsement.
Trump’s endorsement, made about 11 months before the GOP gubernatorial primary, comes as a member of his administration — former United Nations Ambassador Kelly Craft — has been touted as a potential GOP candidate for governor in Kentucky. Craft so far has not declared herself a candidate.
Cameron is among several Republicans already vying for the GOP nomination to challenge Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear next year.
Beshear has remained popular during a term overshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the response to tornadoes in December that killed 81 people in Kentucky and left massive damage in several towns. He has clashed with the Republican-controlled legislature, but his record includes some of the biggest economic development successes in the state’s history.
In 2019, Beshear — then the state’s attorney general — narrowly defeated Republican Gov. Matt Bevin, who also had Trump’s support.
In his endorsement, Trump described Cameron as a “crime fighter who represents the absolute opposite of ‘Defund the Police.’”
Cameron, who is Black, drew national scrutiny for his handling of the probe into Breonna Taylor’s shooting death, a botched late-night drug raid of her Louisville, Kentucky, apartment in which no drugs were found. Her death and the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis sparked nationwide protests for racial justice.
During a 2020 news conference to announce a grand jury’s findings, Cameron said jurors “agreed” that homicide charges were not warranted against the officers, because they were fired upon. That prompted three of the jurors to come forward and dispute Cameron’s account, arguing that Cameron’s staffers limited their scope and did not give them an opportunity to consider homicide charges against the police in Taylor’s death.
Last year, in an interview with The Associated Press, Cameron said those jurors can speak for themselves, but he said the grand jury “ultimately” decided the charges in the case. No officers were ever charged for their roles in her death.
Cameron, who landed a prime time speaking slot at the 2020 Republican National Convention, has close ties to Kentucky’s most powerful Republican, U.S. Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, and once served as the senator’s legal counsel.

Over 55 per cent of the players who played in Euro 2020 and AFCON finals were abused online before, during and after the game, according to the studies of a shocking report released by FIFA on Saturday; homophobic slurs were most common form of detected abuse, with racism second
Saturday 18 June 2022 19:13, UK
More than half the players who played in the most recent Euro 2020 and AFCON finals were abused online before, during and after the game, according to the studies of a shocking report released by FIFA on Saturday.
Homophobic abuse was the most common, with racism second, and though world football's governing body are not naming names, Sky Sports News understands the most abused players in the Euro 2020 final were Arsenal's Bukayo Saka and Manchester United's Marcus Rashford, who both missed from the spot as England lost to Italy on penalties at Wembley last July.
In both tournaments, most of the abuse originated from the home nation of the players being targeted - 38 per cent from the UK and 19 per cent from Egypt after they were also beaten on penalties by Senegal in February's AFCON final.
As a result, FIFA are setting up a dedicated moderation service during this winter's World Cup, which takes place in November and December in Qatar, which will make abuse less visible online.
Homophobic slurs were the most common form of detected abuse (40 per cent), with racism second (38 per cent).
Anti-black racism made up 76 per cent of abuse in the Euro 2020 final. But prior to the penalties, racist abuse had been relatively low, with homophobia more prevalent before and during the game.
The reports states that this has been observed in other studies across several sports. It says: "Racism often picks its moment and is unleashed after a trigger. This means that a tournament or match with relatively low abuse levels can become a flashpoint at any moment."
Islamophobia was more prevalent surrounding the AFCON Final with 33 instances.
In response, FIFA and FIFPRO say they will launch a dedicated in-tournament moderation service across men's and women's football "that will scan recognised hate speech terms published to identified social media accounts, and once detected, prevent that comment from being seen by the recipient and their followers."
Sky Sports News has contacted Twitter and Meta - the parent company of Facebook & Instagram - for comment.

Protests against the Centre's 'Agnipath scheme for short-term recruitment into the armed forces reached Assam's Nagaon district on Saturday where a group of students agitated against the Centre's move.
The protesters claimed that the scheme is nothing but a 'bluff' which would adversely impact the future of the aspirants looking to serve in the armed forces. They also alleged that the scheme has been introduced in order to destroy the scope of securing permanent jobs in the armed forces.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had earlier announced that every 'Agniveer' who is a permanent resident of Assam will be directly absorbed into the state police force at the end of their four-year tenure.
Meanwhile, in view of the large-scale agitations leading to damages to railway properties, including burning of train coaches in Bihar and elsewhere, the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has cancelled a few trains in this route.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared the end of "the era of the unipolar world" in a combative speech that lambasted Western countries at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on Friday.
"When they won the Cold War, the US declared themselves God's own representatives on earth, people who have no responsibilities -- only interests. They have declared those interests sacred. Now it's one-way traffic, which makes the world unstable," Putin told the audience.
The much-hyped speech was delayed by more than 90 minutes because of a "massive" cyberattack. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told journalists in an impromptu conference call that the speech was postponed due to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on the conference's systems.
It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack. Ukrainian IT Army, a hacker collective, named the St. Petersburg Forum as a target earlier this week on its Telegram channel.
Putin's address at the annual conference, one of his more substantial speeches since he ordered the invasion of Ukraine almost four months ago, was seen as an opportunity for the world to get some insight into his thinking.
Once the Russian president took the stage in the western Russian city, he wasted no time on pleasantries and went straight into attacks on the United States and its allies.
"They live in the past on their own under their own delusions ... They think that ... they have won and then everything else is a colony, a back yard. And the people living there are second-class citizens," he said, adding that Russia's "special operation" -- the phrase the Russian government uses to describe its war on Ukraine -- has become a "lifesaver for the West to blame all the problems on Russia."
After accusing western countries of blaming their problems on Russia, Putin tried to pin the blame for rising food prices on the "US administration and the Euro bureaucracy."
Ukraine is a major food producer, but the Russian invasion has affected its entire production and supply chain. The United Nations has said the war has had a devastating impact on supplies and prices and warned it could push up to 49 million more people into famine or famine-like conditions.
European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said last week that food has become part of the Kremlin's "arsenal of terror."
Ukrainian officials have accused Russia of stealing Ukrainian grain, accusations that appear to have been confirmed by satellite images showing Russian ships being loaded with Ukrainian grain. On top of that, Russia is blocking maritime access to the Black Sea ports held by Ukraine, meaning that even the grain that is still under Ukrainian control cannot be exported to the many countries that rely on it.
The long-time Russian leader also blamed the West for trying to hurt the Russian economy, calling the sanctions on Moscow "crazy" and "reckless."
"Their intention is clear to crush the Russian economy by breaking down the logistical chains, freezing national assets and attacking the living standards, but they were not successful," he added. "It has not worked out. Russian business people have rallied together working diligently, conscientiously, and step-by-step, we are normalizing the economic situation."
The Russian president has long framed his decision to launch an invasion of Ukraine as a response to Kyiv's growing diplomatic and security ties with the West. Last week, he hinted that his aim in Ukraine is the restoration of Russia as an imperial power.
Putin claims Russia 'forced' into the conflict in Ukraine
Speaking about his war on Ukraine on Friday, Putin went straight to his propaganda playbook, claiming Russia was "forced" into the conflict.
He called the invasion "the decision of a sovereign country that has an unconditional right ... to defend its security."
"A decision aimed at protecting our citizens, residents of the People's Republics of Donbas, who for eight years were subjected to genocide by the Kyiv regime and neo-Nazis who received the full protection of the West," he said.
The two areas -- the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic (DNR) and Luhansk People's Republic (LNR) -- fell under the control of Russia-backed separatists in 2014.
The Kremlin has accused Ukrainian authorities of discriminating against ethnic Russians and Russian speakers in the regions, a charge Kyiv has denied. Starting 2019, Russian passports were offered to the residents of the two entities.
Finally, in late February, Putin announced he would recognize them as independent, a move that was seen as the opening salvo of the war.
He said on Friday that Russian soldiers and the separatists were "fighting to defend their people" in the Donbas and the right to "reject any attempt to impose pseudo values of dehumanization and moral degradation from outside."
No country other than Russia recognizes the two as independent. Ukraine and the rest of the international community considers the territories to be under Russian occupation.
The European Commission announced Friday that it was recommending Ukraine and neighboring Moldova as EU candidate states, with the commission's chief Ursula von der Leyen saying that Ukrainians are "ready to die" for the European perspective.
Speaking about the European Union on Friday, Putin said the bloc had "lost its sovereignty."
"The European Union has fully lost its sovereignty, and its elites are dancing to someone else's tune, harming their own population. Europeans' and European businesses' real interests are totally ignored and swept aside," he said.
He later added that Russia has "nothing against" Ukraine joining the EU.
"The EU is not a military-political bloc, unlike NATO, therefore we have always said and I have always said that our position here is consistent, understandable, we have nothing against it," Putin said during a panel discussion following his speech.
"It is the sovereign decision of any country to join or not to join economic associations, and it is up to this economic association to accept new states as its members or not. As far as it is expedient for the EU, let the EU countries themselves decide. Whether it will be for the benefit or to the detriment of Ukraine is also their business," he said.

Which men’s compression socks are best?
Our bodies aren’t meant to be stationary. But in our modern lifestyle, we often find ourselves sitting or standing for prolonged periods of time. This can result in blood pooling in the legs, causing discomfort, swelling or a heavy feeling.
Compression socks are a simple fix to improve circulation and to keep your lower extremities feeling energized. They come in different levels of pressure, from mild to prescription. For moderate compression, the MudGear Premium Compression Socks are your best bet.
What to know before you buy men’s compression socks
Uses
Men’s compression socks are worn during inactivity or activity, depending on your needs. Under a doctor’s supervision, they can treat or prevent a number of venous conditions. By hugging your leg muscles and feet, the socks keep veins straight and narrow so that the valves can pump properly. This improves circulation and keeps legs feeling refreshed.
Types of compression socks
Compression socks fall into two categories: anti-embolism (or TED hose) and graduated.
- Anti-embolism or thrombo-embolic deterrent (TED hose) compression socks provide uniform pressure throughout the sock. They are used almost exclusively on bedridden patients or post-surgery, and typically have lower pressure than graduated socks.
- Graduated compression socks are widely available. They can be used to treat conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), varicose veins, spider veins, swelling or discomfort from prolonged sitting or standing. They are tightest at the ankle and decrease in pressure/tightness as they ascend the leg.
Compression levels
Compression socks use a medical unit of measurement, millimeters of mercury (mmHg), to rate their level of pressure.
- Zero compression would be the pressure a regular athletic sock provides, which isn’t constricting but may offer arch support and padding.
- Mild compression, between eight to 15 mmHg, alleviates general discomfort and tiredness. This level can also help reduce varicose and spider veins.
- Moderate compression, between 15-20 mmHg, can help prevent varicose and spider veins. They are also an excellent choice for preventing DVT while traveling.
- Firm compression, between 20-30 mmHg, are used to manage more serious venous disorders. They also can prevent DVT while traveling and they help reduce swelling.
- Extra firm compression, between 30-40 mmHg, offer prescription level pressure and should only be worn under the supervision of a doctor to treat severe venous disorders.
What to look for in quality men’s compression socks
Style
There are several styles and lengths of compression socks.
- Knee-high socks are ideal for everyday use. They fit over the calf and are perfect for alleviating achy or swollen feet and legs. They are also easy to put on.
- Athletic socks are also knee-high length but feature extra padding and breathable materials, such as mesh. Many users find that regular knee-high compression socks work just fine for activewear.
- Thigh-high socks are used for issues that stem from above the knee. They often feature silicone bands to keep them from riding down.
- Waist-high stockings offer full-length compression from the foot to the hip. They resemble tights and may not have full coverage on the feet. They are also pricey.
- Compression sleeves, also called open-fit compression socks, and feature partial or no foot coverage. These can be worn with sandals but aren’t recommended if you’re experiencing swelling in the ankles or feet.
Material
Most compression socks feature a blend of materials including polyester, nylon, Lycra, cotton and Spandex. Select socks incorporate silver or copper nanoparticles to curb the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungus. Others may feature zinc-infused yarns to increase blood flow. If you’re wearing compression socks for athletic activities, select a moisture-wicking and breathable material, such as microfiber.
Size and fit
Men’s compression socks come in small to extra-extra-large sizes. Look at the manufacturer’s sizing chart for ankle, calf and thigh measurements. Some brands come in sock sizes four through16. You don’t want a compression sock to fit too loosely or it will have no benefit. A compression sock that’s too tight, however, will cut off blood flow and cause more problems. Be sure your socks don’t bunch or crease, which can also restrict blood flow.
How much you can expect to spend on men’s compression socks
Expect to pay less for less compression, such as $10-$20 for a pair of mild compression socks. Moderate to firm compression socks cost between $40-$60. Prescription socks and waist-high ones can cost upwards of $100.
Men’s compression socks FAQ
Is there anyone who shouldn’t use compression socks?
A. Yes, if you have fragile skin, dermatitis or a skin infection, avoid compression socks. Also, if you’re experiencing severe swelling, peripheral artery disease or peripheral neuropathy don’t use compression socks. Also consult your doctor if you have concerns about wearing compression socks with your medical condition.
How do I clean my compression socks?
A. The answer varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some compression socks can be machine-washed while others can be hand-washed only. We recommend only doing so in cold water. Air-drying your compression socks can help them last longer and reduce shrinking or damage to fibers.

CDC advisers recommend COVID-19 shots for children under 5
NEW YORK -- U.S. health advisers on Saturday recommended COVID-19 vaccines for infants, toddlers and preschoolers - the last group without the shots.
The advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention unanimously decided that coronavirus vaccines should be opened to children as young as 6 months. The final signoff was expected later in the day from CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky.
While the Food and Drug Administration OKs vaccines, it's the CDC that decides who should get them.
The government has been gearing up for the start of the shots early next week, with millions of doses ordered for distribution to doctors, hospitals and community health clinics around the country.
Roughly 18 million kids will be eligible, but it remains to be seen how many will ultimately get the vaccines. Less than a third of children ages 5 to 11 have done so since vaccination opened up to them last November.
Here are some things to know:
WHAT KINDS ARE AVAILABLE?
Two brands - Pfizer and Moderna - got the green light Friday from the FDA. The vaccines use the same technology but are being offered at different dose sizes and number of shots for the youngest kids.
Pfizer's vaccine is for 6 months through 4 years. The dose is one-tenth of the adult dose, and three shots are needed. The first two are given three weeks apart, and the last at least two months later.
Moderna's is two shots, each a quarter of its adult dose, given about four weeks apart for kids 6 months through 5. The FDA also approved a third dose, at least a month after the second shot, for kids with immune conditions that make them more vulnerable to serious illness.
HOW WELL DO THEY WORK?
In studies, vaccinated youngsters developed levels of virus-fighting antibodies as strong as young adults, suggesting that the kid-size doses protect against coronavirus infections.
However, exactly how well they work is hard to pin down, especially when it comes to the Pfizer vaccine.
Two doses of Moderna appeared to be only about 40% effective at preventing milder infections at a time when the omicron variant was causing most COVID-19 illnesses. Pfizer presented study information suggesting the company saw 80% with its three shots. But the Pfizer data was so limited - and based on such a small number of cases - that experts and federal officials say they don't feel there is a reliable estimate yet.
SHOULD MY LITTLE ONE BE VACCINATED?
Yes, according to the CDC's advisers. While COVID-19 has been the most dangerous for older adults, younger people, including children, can also get very sick.
Hospitalizations surged during the omicron wave. Since the start of the pandemic, about 480 children under age 5 are counted among the nation's more than 1 million COVID-19 deaths, federal data show.
'It is worth vaccinating, even though the number of deaths are relatively rare, because these deaths are preventable through vaccination,' said Dr. Matthew Daley, a Kaiser Permanente Colorado researcher who sits on the advisory committee.
WHICH VACCINE SHOULD MY CHILD GET?
Either one, says Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA's vaccine chief.
'Whatever vaccine your health care provider, pediatrician has, that's what I would give my child,'' Marks said Friday.
The doses haven't been tested against each other, so experts say there's no way to tell if one is better.
One consideration: It takes roughly three months to complete the Pfizer three-shot series, but just one month for Moderna's two shots. So families eager to get children protected quickly might want Moderna.
WHO'S GIVING THE SHOTS?
Pediatricians, other primary care physicians and children's hospitals are planning to provide the vaccines. Limited drugstores will offer them for at least some of the under-5 group.
U.S. officials expect most shots to take place at pediatricians' offices. Many parents may be more comfortable getting the vaccine for their kids at their regular doctor, White House COVID-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha said. He predicted the pace of vaccination to be far slower than it was for older populations.
'We're going see vaccinations ramp up over weeks and even potentially over a couple of months,' Jha said.
CAN CHILDREN GET OTHER VACCINES AT THE SAME TIME?
It's common for little kids to get more than one vaccine during a doctor's visit.
In studies of the Moderna and Pfizer shots in infants and toddlers, other vaccinations were not given at the same time so there is no data on potential side effects when that happens.
But problems have not been identified in older children or adults when COVID-19 shots and other vaccinations were given together, and the CDC is advising that it's safe for younger children as well.
WHAT IF MY CHILD RECENTLY HAD COVID-19?
About three-quarters of children of all ages are estimated to have been infected at some point. For older ages, the CDC has recommended vaccination anyway to lower the chances of reinfection.
Experts have noted re-infections among previously infected people and say the highest levels of protection occur in those who were both vaccinated and previously infected.
The CDC has said people may consider waiting about three months after an infection to be vaccinated.

Disaster management: UP begins training volunteers to deal with natural calamities
The Uttar Pradesh government has started training volunteers to help people in situations like heavy rain, hailstorm and floods, a government spokesperson said.
The government is picking volunteers in the age group of 18 to 40 years and those who have some experience of serving in civil defence, community service, home guard, swimming and disaster response operations.
The state government in association with the State Disaster Management Authority has also started expanding the ‘Aapda Mitra’ and ‘Aapda Sakhi’ schemes in 25 districts.
‘Aapda Mitras’ and ‘Aapda Sakhis’ are responsible for providing flood protection equipment, safety kits, and training to deal with any disaster. Under the scheme, people will be provided assistance to deal with natural calamities such as rain, cloudburst, hailstorm, etc, said the spokesperson.
With help from the revenue department, the authorities are working expeditiously on this action plan for relief and disaster management. Under this scheme, 10 lakh women of Self Help Groups will be given training in disaster management. The Disaster Management Helpline, 1070, will also be integrated with the 112 helpline. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/lucknow-news/disaster-management-up-begins-training-volunteers-to-deal-with-natural-calamities-101655577750309-amp.html | 2022-06-18T19:07:40Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/lucknow-news/disaster-management-up-begins-training-volunteers-to-deal-with-natural-calamities-101655577750309-amp.html | false | 1 |
Before Drake said “I do” to 23 wives in his latest video, he got a pep talk from NBA player Tristan Thompson.
On Thursday, the Hotline Bling rapper uploaded the video for his Falling Back music video, which was the first release from his new Honestly, Nevermind album.
The video started by showing Drake in a black tux and bow tie while he took a deep breath before turning to his best man.
Drake features Tristan Thompson in his wedding day video
“You ready?” Tristan said to Drake at the beginning of the video. “Doesn’t feel right, we scrap it, we go home, it’s done.”
“Nah nah, its good, bro,” Drake replied. “It’s a good time for me. I’m ready to settle down. I’m in love.” After telling Drake he needs to “get him right,” Tristan continued to fix Drake’s bowtie and made sure his beard was groomed.
” You only get married once,” Tristan said, presumably biting off Drake’s “YOLO” (You Only Live Once) motto.
Drake then continued to hand rings to each of his new wives, one by one, all while giving each model an individualized handshake.
Tristan Thompson blasted on The Kardashians Season 1 finale episode
Tristan’s cameo in Drake’s video came just after the season finale of The Kardashians on Thursday, where his ex-girlfriend Khloe Kardashian learned he had slept with Maralee Nichols while they were working on their relationship.
The episode showed Khloe, as well as other members of the Kardashian family, finding out about Tristan and Maralee’s time together last March – shortly after Khloe had thrown him a 30th birthday party.
Tristan, who shares four-year-old daughter True with Khloe, was being sued by Maralee for child support at the time of filming the show’s finale episode. Tristan admitted to having relations with Maralee, and the two now share their 6-month-old son Theo together.
“I find out what Tristan is doing with the rest of the world,” Khloe said during the episode. “A courtesy would be not doing it. But fine, if you do it, you are not even going to give me a f**king heads up before the rest of the world?”
“It is just an additional slap in my face. It is humiliating. I am embarrassed. I would prefer to be alone than to be around people.”
After a long history of cheating on his shoulders, which also includes his disloyalty to Khloe shortly before their daughter’s birth and his mishap with Jordyn Woods, Tristan’s appearance in Drake’s polygamy music video seemed to rest on quite the hill of irony. | https://www.monstersandcritics.com/celebrity/tristan-thompson-stars-in-drakes-polygamist-music-video/ | 2022-06-18T19:08:28Z | https://www.monstersandcritics.com/celebrity/tristan-thompson-stars-in-drakes-polygamist-music-video/ | true | 1 |

NEW YORK (AP)Mets pitcher Tylor Megill won’t throw for four weeks because of a strained right shoulder while infielder Eduardo Escobar rejoined the team Friday after having hospital tests for an unspecified ”non-workplace event.”
Megill was put on the injured list for the second time this season, a day after he started against Milwaukee. The NL East leaders already had aces Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer out with injuries.
New York manager Buck Showalter said Escobar was available off the bench for the series opener against Miami and likely would be back in the starting lineup for Saturday’s game.
”He’s had quite the night – not working on a whole lot of rest, but finally got through with all the testing,” Showalter said.
As he did Thursday, when he cited privacy laws, Showalter said he couldn’t discuss the symptoms that sent Escobar to the hospital with or any potential diagnosis. There were multiple reports that Escobar had issues with his vision and dizziness.
Showalter said he was in constant contact with team trainers throughout Thursday night’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers before he exchanged texts with Escobar during the overnight hours.
”I was just concerned about him during the game,” Showalter said. ”They did every test known to man to basically rule stuff out.”
Megill, who left Thursday’s game after 3 1/3 innings, was put on the 15-day injured list.
Megill missed four weeks with right biceps tendinitis before returning last Friday.

Young Thug pours his heart out in a new jailhouse amid incarceration on Rico charges.
In a freestyle from jail, the rapper, while speaking to his nephew BSlime, delivers a freestyle from the heart as he shares his thoughts about being in jail which includes contemplating his life and even thinking about suicide.
Young Thug was denied bail two weeks ago, and his earliest court date is in January 2023. In the meantime, he is locked up in Cobb County jail in solitary conditions for his own safety.
Despite previous reports that he was holding up well, it seems that the rapper is dealing with a range of emotions, including thoughts about suicide.
In the video shared by BSlime on Instagram, the rapper is heard talking to Young Thug on the phone, where he speaks about his wishes to God to grant him another chance to make things right so he can be with his family.
“I’m just sitting here in my cell-like, ‘Damn, I’m really in jail’/God, give me another chance to show you I can prevail/I could put my arms from wall to wall inside this tiny-a** cell,” he rapped.
Young Thug also spoke about dealing with his emotions.
“I tried to cry but ain’t nothing left/I contemplated doing myself, n***a/The most suicides deaths are in this jail/But let’s not forget that this ain’t Hell.”
It’s no secret that the rapper has been struggling with adjusting to life in jail since his arrest on May 9. Just last month, his attorney Brian Steel had filed an emergency motion for bond, citing inhumane conditions in jail as he stated that the rapper did not have regular access to the bathroom and he was unable to exercise or get proper sleep due to an overhead light in his cell which remains on for 24 hours a day.
He also claimed that the food in jail was “inedible”. At the bond hearing, Thug can be seen clasping his hand in prayer as he hoped that his request would be accepted.
However, the judge, Ural Glanville, rejected the request as he sided with the prosecution that the rapper, who is described as the leader of the YSL gang, was a “danger to the community” and a “flight risk.” | https://haitigazette.com/young-thug-shared-his-pain-being-incarcerated-in-new-freestyle/ | 2022-06-18T19:30:29Z | https://haitigazette.com/young-thug-shared-his-pain-being-incarcerated-in-new-freestyle/ | true | 10 |
Which Aladdin toy is best?
If you’re looking for a whole new world of toys, look no further than those based on Disney’s “Aladdin” films. Whether you prefer the 1992 animated feature film or the 2019 live-action version, you can find exciting toys that will enchant you. If you rub your magic lamp and want to use your three wishes on an Aladdin toy, the Disney Petite Aladdin Storytelling Gift Set is your top choice.
What to know before you buy an Aladdin toy
Version of Aladdin
The most famous and recognizable version of Aladdin is Disney’s cartoon. The animated characters from the film are some of the most iconic in the Disney canon. However, you can find toys based on the animated film or the live-action version. Dolls from the live-action movie look like the actors who played them, such as Will Smith as Genie, Mena Massoud as Aladdin, Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine and Marwan Kenzari as Jafar. You can find Jasmine’s more modern and casual version in the Comfy Squad collection from “Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet.” The Aladdin Broadway show also has a collection of plush toys and dolls with their renditions of the costumes and a stuffed bear dressed as Genie. If your recipient prefers the classic animated characters, ensure your purchase reflects their wishes.
Dolls
You can find dolls that look like the animated and live-action film characters. With authentic physical attributes and costume replicas, you can recreate the films in your own home. Look for baby and toddler versions of Princess Jasmine from Disney. You can also find a Jasmine styling head toy to practice her hairstyle.
Plush toys
There are plush versions of the human characters from Aladdin, along with brightly colored plush renditions of Genie, Abu the monkey, Rajah the tiger and Iago the parrot. Disney even has a plush toy of Abu when he was transformed into an elephant. The beautiful Disney Wisdom Plush collection has a stuffed Genie with the quotation, “Like so many things, it’s not what is outside, but what is inside that counts,” embroidered on his chest. Funko’s Supercute Plush line has small collectible plush Aladdin dolls. With an array of sizes, you can choose the one that fits your space best.
Playsets
Aladdin playsets with all of the characters from the movie, plus accessories such as the magic carpet will help you act out your favorite scenes from the films. Most playsets include Aladdin, Jasmine, Genie, Abu, Rajah, Jafar and Iago. Little People has an Aladdin set that is perfect for very young children. Some figures come packaged with scenery, such as Jasmine’s palace. There is also a beautiful tea set with a gold teapot, cups and saucers that looks like it came straight out of Agrabah.
Dress-up toys
Kids can dress up as their favorite Aladdin characters with dress-up toys. You can find sets with accessories such as Jasmine’s shoes, earrings, cuffs and tiara. You can even find Jasmine wigs to recreate her signature hairstyle. There are also full costumes with immediately recognizable details. Magic lamps in realistic sizes bring magic to the playroom.
Building toys
Lego carries several sets which double as building toys during construction and playsets when complete. They also have some mini-figures of the characters.
Age of child
As with any toy, you should consider the age of the child recipient when you choose a gift. Toys with small parts and more sophisticated elements are more appropriate for older children, while younger children may prefer plushies and dolls.
What to look for in a quality Aladdin toy
Authenticity of characters
Both versions of Disney’s Aladdin characters have ornate costumes with gorgeous details. The dolls, in particular, have authentic clothing that looks just like it does in the movies.
Accessories
Many Aladdin toys come with accessories such as magic lamps and magic carpets. Look for toys with extra pieces that make the story come to life.
Sets
Aladdin toys not only come in sets from the films, but you can also find Jasmine in Disney Princess collections. Look for her alongside other princesses such as Belle, Ariel, Tiana, Snow White and Cinderella in classic and Comfy Squad sets.
Lights and sounds
Some Aladdin toys light up and make sounds when you play with them, such as a magic lamp toy inspired by Disney’s live-action film. An Abu Chatterback plush toy vibrates and chatters back to you when you speak to him. A live-action Genie toy sings, “Friend Like Me.”
How much you can expect to spend on an Aladdin toy
Depending on how big the toy is and how old it is, expect to spend $12-$75 for an Aladdin toy. Because the animated “Aladdin” is almost 30 years old, there are older and newer toys for your collection. Retired toys from third-party sellers tend to be much more expensive because they are harder to find.
Aladdin toy FAQ
Do any Aladdin toys come with books?
A. Yes. You can find some sets with books, including a Princess Jasmine doll from the “Princess Stories” Collection that comes with a mini “Aladdin” Golden Book. My Busy Books has an “Aladdin” book with 10 toy figurines and a giant playmat.
Are there Aladdin learning toys?
A. Yes. Aladdin is part of the Me Reader Electronic Reader, which helps young children learn to read. There are also Aladdin jigsaw puzzles and board games that help promote learning.

What happened
Shares of Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB) fell 8.6% this week compared to where they closed out last Friday, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, although there was no company-specific news to trigger the decline.
More likely it was the sell-off in the broader market that pushed the stock of the vacation rental company lower. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 4.7% for the week while the S&P 500 index fell nearly 6%.
So what
There's growing fear the economy is careening into a recession. Inflation of 8.6% is at a 42-year high; $5 or more for a gallon of gas nationally is an all-time record; the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 75 basis points, the biggest increase in over two decades; and jobless claims exceeded pre-pandemic levels for the second straight week.
It suggests weakened consumer purchasing power will blow back on travel and tourism stocks like Airbnb as people will start cutting back on taking vacations. Not only is it expensive to drive anywhere, but the cost of flying is soaring too. Adobe Analytics says the cost of U.S. air travel in May is 47% higher than it was at the start of the year and domestic bookings were falling last month.
And it's not likely to get better as airlines are suffering severe shortfalls in employees, leading to long delays and canceled flights. Just yesterday there were more than 21,500 flights delayed in the U.S., according to FlightAware, and over 3,300 flights were canceled. Higher fuel costs are also a burden as they represent 25% to 30% of an airline's expenses.
Now what
Airbnb still looks like it's on solid financial footing, and expects to report net profits for the first time this year. That could be jeopardized, however, if the economy continues to skid out of control.
Even so, Airbnb is still reaching new milestones. Nights and experiences booked, a key metric of growth for the vacation rental company, exceeded 100 million for the first time ever in the first quarter. Overall, travel has exceeded 2019 levels.
But there's a bumpy road ahead for Airbnb and the rest of the economy, and that's showing up in the travel site's stock price. Even though the stock is down 40% year to date, Airbnb trades at a lofty 10 times revenue and 40 times its projected earnings.
There may be further deflation in its valuation in the future.

How the cost of your Sunday roast went up almost 40% in three years
If you feel like the cost of putting Sunday lunch on the table has increased, you’re right.
A Sun-Herald analysis has found the price of a Sunday roast with all the trimmings for an extended family has shot up by nearly $30 in the past three years to $107.50.
That includes a 1.6-kilogram leg of lamb, roast potatoes, carrots and onions, broccoli, a garden salad, a vegetarian option, vanilla ice cream and fresh blueberries, lemonade for the children, and a couple of bottles of Barossa Valley shiraz.
The analysis compared prices on the Coles and Woolworths websites and current catalogues, with archived 2019 catalogues.
The overall bill was 37.9 per cent higher than 2019, while price rises for fresh vegetables were up between 30 per cent and 200 per cent. The exception was avocado, which is cheaper than it was in winter 2019.
Other non-food grocery items have also seen large price rises, including disposable nappies, baby formula and toilet paper.
Robert Reid, senior strategist at retail consultancy Retail Oasis, said fresh produce was usually an anchor rather than a profit driver for a supermarket, attracting customers who would hopefully buy items with higher margins.
“The challenge isn’t necessarily to maintain margins on fresh produce but to ensure prices are seen as reasonable or at least not too expensive,” Reid said.
“The seasonality of produce provides the supermarkets some levers, promoting select products that haven’t seen price increases, like bananas, grapes and avocado, while downplaying items like tomatoes and lettuce that have seen large price increases.”
Supermarkets did this by shifting lower-priced produce to the ends of tables and putting higher-priced items in the middle, or giving expensive varieties of tomato a narrow row and cheaper Roma tomatoes a larger area.
They also changed unit measurements – for example, labelling the price of a whole capsicum rather than the price per kilogram.
Another strategy was to promote produce with odd shapes, blemishes or bruises that can be sold at discounted prices.
Meanwhile, Reid said consumers were shifting behaviour to save money, including bulk buying, shopping at lower-priced outlets such as ALDI, and switching to cheaper alternatives, but noted different consumer groups behaved differently.
“Consumers affected by price inflation typically tend to shift to alternatives to fresh, such as purchasing lower-priced frozen and canned food,” Reid said.
“For example, opting for frozen fish over fresh fish, buying canned tomatoes to make pasta sauce versus fresh tomatoes and using dried herbs over fresh.”
He said that was more common than shifting where and how people shop, such as making bulk purchases rather than a weekly Coles shop, or visiting the fishmonger rather than the supermarket.
The crisis is worse for people on low incomes who already choose the cheapest food and cannot make these swaps.
Jack de Groot, the chief executive of St Vincent de Paul Society NSW, said one in four people that approached the charity for help this financial year did so for the first time.
Of those came to Vinnies this year, 84 per cent had asked for assistance with food, up from about 60 per cent in normal times, De Groot said.
The charity had spent 60 per cent of its 2021-2022 assistance on food, with other supports such as power bills and accommodation making up the remainder.
“It’s clearly a real struggle [to put] enough food on the table each day, and we know that a number of people reduce the number of meals they have each day,” De Groot said.

Several crew members filming a comedy segment at the U.S. Capitol for “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” were charged with unlawful entry earlier this week, leading prominent Republicans including Fox News host Tucker Carlson to falsely cry “insurrection.”
“Last night, producers from Stephen Colbert’s show on CBS committed insurrection at the United States Capitol,” Carlson falsely claimed on his show Friday night.
Carlson was referring to the arrest of seven production crew members for Colbert’s CBS show Thursday night, which was filming a segment in the Capitol with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, a crass puppet voiced by comedian Robert Smigel. Capitol police said Friday that the arrests happened after the building had been closed to visitors and the crew had already been told to leave the building.
Colbert’s team had finished up prearranged interviews with lawmakers and were filming “final comedy elements” in the building’s hallways when the arrests took place, CBS news said in a statement. All seven crew members were slapped with unlawful entry charges.
The arrests quickly became fodder for Republicans looking to distract from this week’s hearings on the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack by falsely equating the arrests of the crew members to the violence of former President Donald Trump’s supporters.
“It’s exactly like what happened on Jan 6., so we’ll take a close look at what the punishments are,” Carlson told his viewers Friday night.
He’s wrong. In the case of Jan. 6, five people died and more than 140 officers were injured after hundreds of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to stop the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory. In the case of Colbert’s crew, they were arrested filming a comedy segment featuring a puppet best known for hurting people’s feelings.
And there were hurt feelings. Congresswoman and QAnon supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene took a photo of comedian Smigel with his puppet and posted it to Twitter to whine about “targeted harassment.”
“Now all of you engaged in insurrection & enabled targeted harassment against me and my Republican colleagues,” Greene tweeted. “I’m telling the full story next week.”
Disinformation merchant and Pizzagate peddler Mike Cernovich echoed a similar talking point on Twitter.
“If they aren’t charged criminally the same as J6 defendants, then more evidence of selective prosecution arises,” Cernovich said in a tweet. “Judges can only rig stuff so much before the judiciary loses all legitimacy. Throw the book at these trespassers.”
And Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) took the opportunity to compare Colbert’s production crew being in the Capitol to a tour Loudermilk gave to Jan. 6 participants one day before the violence ensued.
“So while they’re accusing me of giving illegal tours of the Capitol, they are giving illegal tours of the Capitol,” Loudermilk said, accusing Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) of allowing the production crew access.
The difference, of course, is that comedian Smigel was armed with a microphone, and one of the men Loudermilk gave a tour to was later seen marching on the Capitol, filming an accomplice who was armed with a spear while making targeted threats against lawmakers. | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tucker-carlson-gop-lawmakers-cry-insurrection-colbert-production-crew-arrested_n_62ae011ee4b06169ca996fea | 2022-06-18T19:41:56Z | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tucker-carlson-gop-lawmakers-cry-insurrection-colbert-production-crew-arrested_n_62ae011ee4b06169ca996fea | false | 1 |
In my 16 years as an alternative economist and political writer I have spent around half that time warning that the ultimate outcome of the Federal Reserve’s stimulus model would be a stagflationary collapse. Not a deflationary collapse, or an inflationary collapse, but a stagflationary collapse. The reasons for this were very specific – Mass debt creation was being countered with MORE debt creation while many central banks have been simultaneously devaluing their currencies through QE measures. On top of that, the US is in the unique position of relying on the world reserve status of the dollar and that status is diminishing.
It was only a matter of time before the forces of deflation and inflation met in the middle to create stagflation. In my article ‘Infrastructure Bills Do Not Lead To Recovery, Only Increased Federal Control’, published in April of 2021, I stated that:
“Production of fiat money is not the same as real production within the economy… Trillions of dollars in public works programs might create more jobs, but it will also inflate prices as the dollar goes into decline. So, unless wages are adjusted constantly according to price increases, people will have jobs, but still won’t be able to afford a comfortable standard of living. This leads to stagflation, in which prices continue to rise while wages and consumption stagnate.
Another Catch-22 to consider is that if inflation becomes rampant, the Federal Reserve may be compelled (or claim they are compelled) to raise interest rates significantly in a short span of time. This means an immediate slowdown in the flow of overnight loans to major banks, an immediate slowdown in loans to large and small businesses, an immediate crash in credit options for consumers, and an overall crash in consumer spending. You might recognize this as the recipe that created the 1981-1982 recession, the third-worst in the 20th century.
In other words, the choice is stagflation, or deflationary depression.”
It’s clear today what the Fed has chosen. It’s important to remember that throughout 2020 and 2021 the mainstream media, the central bank and most government officials were telling the public that inflation was “transitory.” Suddenly in the past few months this has changed and now even Janet Yellen has admitted that she was “wrong” on inflation. This is a misdirection, however, because the Fed knows exactly what it is doing and always has. Yellen denied reality, but she knew she was denying reality. In other words, she was not mistaken about the economic crisis, she lied about it.
As I outlined last December in my article ‘The Fed’s Catch-22 Taper Is A Weapon, Not A Policy Error’:
‘First and foremost, no, the Fed is not motivated by profits, at least not primarily. The Fed is able to print wealth at will, they don’t care about profits – They care about power and centralization. Would they sacrifice “the golden goose” of US markets in order to gain more power and full bore globalism? Absolutely. Would central bankers sacrifice the dollar and blow up the Fed as an institution in order to force a global currency system on the masses? There is no doubt; they’ve put the US economy at risk in the past in order to get more centralization.’
The Fed has known for years that the current path would lead to inflation and then market destruction, and here’s the proof – Fed Chairman Jerome Powell actually warned about this exact outcome in October of 2012:
“I have concerns about more purchases. As others have pointed out, the dealer community is now assuming close to a $4 trillion balance sheet and purchases through the first quarter of 2014. I admit that is a much stronger reaction than I anticipated, and I am uncomfortable with it for a couple of reasons. First, the question, why stop at $4 trillion? The market in most cases will cheer us for doing more. It will never be enough for the market. Our models will always tell us that we are helping the economy, and I will probably always feel that those benefits are overestimated. And we will be able to tell ourselves that market function is not impaired and that inflation expectations are under control. What is to stop us, other than much faster economic growth, which it is probably not in our power to produce?
When it is time for us to sell, or even to stop buying, the response could be quite strong; there is every reason to expect a strong response. So there are a couple of ways to look at it. It is about $1.2 trillion in sales; you take 60 months, you get about $20 billion a month. That is a very doable thing, it sounds like, in a market where the norm by the middle of next year is $80 billion a month. Another way to look at it, though, is that it’s not so much the sale, the duration; it’s also unloading our short volatility position.”
As we all now know, the Fed waited until their balance sheet was far larger and until the economy was MUCH weaker than it was in 2012 to unleash tightening measures. They KNEW the whole time exactly what was going to happen.
It is no coincidence that the culmination of the Fed’s stimulus bonanza has arrived right after the incredible damage done to the economy and the global supply chain by the covid lockdowns. It is no coincidence that these two events work together to create the perfect stagflationary scenario. And, it’s no coincidence that the only people who benefit from these conditions are proponents of the “Great Reset” ideology at the World Economic Forum and other globalist institutions. This is an engineered collapse that has been in the works for many years.
The goal is to “reset” the world, to erase what’s left of free market systems, and to establish what they call the “Shared Economy” system. This system is one in which the people who survive the crash will be made utterly dependent on government through Universal Basic Income and one that will restrict all resource usage in the name of “carbon reduction.” According to the WEF, you will own nothing and you will like it.
The collapse is engineered to create crisis conditions so frightening that they expect the majority of the public to submit to a collectivist hive mind lifestyle with greatly reduced standards. This would be accomplished through UBI, digital currency models, carbon taxation, population reduction, rationing of all commodities and a social credit system. The goal, in other words, is complete control through technocratic authoritarianism.
All of this is dependent on the exploitation of crisis events to create fear in the population. Now that economic destabilization has arrived, what happens next? Here are my predictions…
The Fed Will Hike Interest Rates More Than Expected, But Not Enough To Stop Inflation
Today, we are witnessing the poisonous fruits of a decade-plus of massive fiat money creation and we are now at the stage where the Fed will reveal its true plan. Hiking interest rates fast, or hiking them slow. Fast hikes will mean an almost immediate crash in markets (beyond what we have already seen), slow hikes will mean a drawn out process of price inflation and general uncertainty.
I believe the Fed will hike more than expected, but not enough to actually slow inflation in necessities. There will be an overall decline in luxury items, recreation commerce and non-essentials, but most other goods will continue to climb in cost. It is to the advantage of globalists to keep the inflation train running for another year or longer.
In the end, though, the central bank WILL declare that the pace of interest rates is not enough to stop inflation and they will revert to a Volcker-like strategy, pushing rates up so high that the economy simply stops functioning altogether.
Markets Will Crash And Unemployment Will Abruptly Spike
Stock markets are utterly dependent on Fed stimulus and easy money through low interest rate loans – This is a fact. Without low rates and QE, corporations cannot engage in stock buybacks. Meaning, the tools for artificially inflating equities are disappearing. We are already seeing the effects of this now with markets dropping 20% or more.
The Fed will not capitulate. They will continue to hike regardless of the market reaction.
As far as jobs are concerned, Biden and many mainstream economists constantly applaud the low unemployment rate as proof that the American economy is “strong,” but this is an illusion. Covid stimulus measures temporarily created a dynamic in which businesses needed increased staff to deal with excess retail spending. Now, the covid checks have stopped and Americans have maxed out their credit cards. There is nothing left to keep the system afloat.
Businesses will start making large job cuts throughout the last half of 2022.
Price Controls
I have no doubt that Joe Biden and Democrats will seek to enforce price controls on many goods as inflation continues, and there will be a handful of Republicans that will support the tactic. Price controls actually lead to a reduction in supply because they remove all profits and thus all incentive for manufacturers to keep producing goods. What usually happens at that point is government steps in to nationalize manufacturing, but this will be substandard production and at a much lower yield.
In the end, supplies are reduced even further and prices go even higher on the black market because no one can get their hands on most goods anyway.
Rationing
Yes, rationing at the manufacturing and distribution level is going to happen, so be sure to buy what you need now before it does. Rationing occurs in the wake of price controls or supply chain disruptions, and usually this coincides with a government propaganda campaign against “hoarders.”
They will hold up a few exaggerated examples of people who buy truckloads of merchandise to scalp prices on the black market. Then, not long after, they will accuse preppers and anyone who bought goods BEFORE the crisis of “hoarding” simply because they planned ahead.
Rationing is not only about controlling the supply of necessities and thus controlling the population by proxy; it is also about creating an atmosphere of blame and suspicion within the public and getting them to snitch on or attack anyone that is prepared. Prepared people represent a threat to the establishment, so expect to be demonized in the media and organize with other prepared people to protect yourself.
When preparing for societal collapse, don’t forget the water!
Be Ready, It Only Gets Worse From Here On
It might sound like I am predicting success of the Great Reset program, but I actually believe the globalists will fail in the end. That’s not going to stop them from making the attempt. Also, the above scenarios are only predictions for the near term (within the next couple of years). There will be many other problems that stem from these situations.
Naturally, food riots and other mob actions will become more commonplace, perhaps not this year, but by the end of 2023 they will definitely be a problem. This will coincide with the return of political unrest in the US as leftist factions, encouraged by globalist foundations, demand more government intervention in poverty. At the same time, conservatives will demand less government interference and less tyranny.
At bottom, the people who are prepared might be called a lot of mean names, but as long as we organize and work together, we will survive. Many unprepared people will NOT survive. Understand that the economic conditions ahead of us are historically destructive; there is no way that serious consequences can be avoided for a large part of the population, if only because they refuse to listen and to take proper steps to protect themselves.
The denial is over. The crash is here. Time to take action if you have not done so already.
Editor’s Commentary: As always, I appreciate Brandon’s insights and I agree with the vast majority of what he wrote here. I cannot stress enough that we select our sponsors based less on how much money we can make and far more on what purpose they serve our nation. This is why, after several years of denying every precious metals company that knocked on our doors, we finally searched for the right ones last year. The reason was obvious: For the first time in my life, I truly feared economic collapse could be coming.
We selected Our Gold Guy for physical precious metals and JD GoldCo for a wide array of precious metals offerings. Both are America First companies, and unlike others in the space, our sponsors are not influenced or owned by Chinese interests. Moreover, their leadership is not donating to Democrats; these are real patriots. For wealth or retirement protection, I strongly recommend both companies.
For those of us who want to prepare for a near-future economic collapse, I recommend food preparedness and survival companies. There are three we like based on what they bring to the market:
- My Patriot Supply: Above-average quality at below-average prices
- Valley Food Storage: Higher quality, higher prices
- Nutrient Survival: Premium long-term food
It is so important that as many Americans as possible are independent and with as few dependencies on government as possible. We need patriots who are able to fight the collapse when it comes or to rebuild afterwards if we can’t stop it. Godspeed.
When preparing for societal collapse, don’t forget the water!

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!

The 33-year-old Nigerian defender has left Ibrox after his contract expired at the end of the 2021-22 campaign.
Balogun joined Rangers in 2020 and won the Premiership and Scottish Cup, as well as reaching the Europa League final.
"Took me some time, but eventually it is time for me to say goodbye,” wrote Balogun via Instagram.
"Thank you to every single soul at the club working their socks of, making sure me and the boys can focus on performing at our best.
"A lot of whom we work with on a daily basis: kitchen staff, medical staff, sports scientists and athletic trainers, as well as our two girls Katy and Hannah. You have shown and taught me – in your very own way - the dedication that is expected and I thank your for that.
"Thank you to the managing staff and especially to my amazing team mates over the two seasons, who welcomed me from day one as a player and a friend. Who have pushed me to be better and taught me the Rangers way.
"A lot of highs, a few lows that made our bond even stronger. We became invincible champions, the class of 55 … those magical European nights at Ibrox that led us all the way to the final. And eventually we crowned my time at the club with the Scottish cup.
"Thanks for all the memories, the laughter and for sharing some of the best moments in my career with me.
"And last but not least, a massive thank you to you, the supporters. You are one crazy, passionate bunch. High expectations, that can be intimidating at times - but I loved every single second of it.
"All your messages over the past two weeks have been incredibly overwhelming for me and at the same time they’re the greatest testimonial I can get for my time at Rangers. It has been an absolute privilege and honour to represent you near and far.
"One of the most frequent questions I’ve been asked in my time at Rangers was if I understand the size of the club and what it means – thanks to you, I do now.
"We are the people and you are my people – Forever Blue." | https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/rangers/emotional-leon-balogun-pens-farewell-to-rangers-with-fans-and-our-two-girls-mentioned-by-nigerian-3736922 | 2022-06-18T20:00:42Z | https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/rangers/emotional-leon-balogun-pens-farewell-to-rangers-with-fans-and-our-two-girls-mentioned-by-nigerian-3736922 | true | 1 |
Meta is launching an online Avatars Store. This marketplace enables users to purchase digital clothing and show off across Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Eva Chen, director of fashion at Instagram, sat down together to make the official announcement. The CEO believes the Avatars Store can become an outlet for users to express themselves. “Digital goods will be an important way to express yourself in the metaverse and a big driver of the creative economy,” Zuckerberg says.
At first, Prada, Balenciaga, and Thom Browne are amongst the first luxury brands Meta is bringing to the Avatars Store. More are likely to come in the future. The conversation between Zuckerberg and Chen shows Meta is offering a range of outfits. These include suits, motocross outfits, logo hoodies, skirts, and more.
As part of the video, Chen debuted a full fit for Zuckerberg’s avatar featuring a cropped shirt, low-rise jeans, and a white belt. This same outfit was also shown on Chen’s avatar, demonstrating the gender-less focus of some if not all items.
If you’re getting flashbacks to the Xbox 360, I wouldn’t blame you. Much of what’s been shown of the Avatars Store harkens back to what Microsoft began offering users during the Xbox 360 era. Avatar support continues on current Xbox consoles. Microsoft partnered with many brands and studios to develop similar digital goods. I suppose what they say is true. History always repeats itself in the fashion world.
The Meta Avatars Store currently does not have a launch date. The company claims that it will be available “soon.” Pricing details on luxury pieces of clothing are still unknown as well.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disorder characterised by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness due to the alterations of a protein called dystrophin that helps keep muscle cells intact. It can begin as early as age two or three. Weakness related to DMD affects the limb muscles close to the trunk before the ones far from it — the legs are affected before the arms. A lack of the protein dystrophin causes muscle damage and progressive weakness beginning in early childhood.
DMD carriers are females who have a normal dystrophin gene on one X chromosome and an abnormal dystrophin gene on the other X chromosome.
Some muscular dystrophies are not identified until a child is 3 to 6 years of age. Often, parents must wait 1 to 2 years to obtain an accurate diagnosis even after symptoms of weakness are present. Seeking treatment as early as possible and looking out for care by experts in movement disorders can make a difference in helping children with muscular dystrophy reach their full potential.
Symptoms
Some of the symptoms include:
Muscle weakness and muscle wasting.
Difficulty in jumping, running and walking.
Enlargement of the calves is called pseudohypertrophy, or “false enlargement”.
Waddling gait.
Lumbar lordosis (inward curve of the spine).
Progressive weakness and scoliosis result in impaired pulmonary function, which can eventually cause acute respiratory failure.
Short stature.
Muscle cramps.
Often late walkers.
Trouble climbing stairs.
Delayed speech and language.
Delayed motor development.
Head lag (difficulty controlling the head or neck).
Difficulty in learning and in emotional interaction.
Contractures (shortening or hardening of muscles, tendons, or tissues) that affect the joints, and curvature of the spine.
Cardiac problems.
Turning on to the stomach before getting up from the floor.
When arising from the floor, children may use hand support to push themselves to an upright position (Gower’s sign).
By school age, children may walk on their toes or the balls of their feet.
To try to keep their balance, they may stick out their bellies and pull back their shoulders.
They may also have difficulty raising their arms.
Problems that indicate poor respiratory function like headaches, mental dullness, difficulty in concentrating or staying awake, and nightmares.
Weakened respiratory muscles make coughing difficult, leading to an increased risk of serious respiratory infection. A simple cold can quickly progress to pneumonia.
Physiotherapy management
Physiotherapy is essential to the management of Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy. It is important to monitor the physical symptoms of the condition and physiotherapy can help keep the child active for as long as possible. Physiotherapists will work with the parents and provide them with information and treatment that will be helpful for the child.
Contractures are addressed through a stretching routine, which can also be taught to the parents. Physiotherapists also advise the parents on any orthoses, such as AFOs. They also help families choose what mobility aids and equipment the child might need. In the early stages of the condition, the physiotherapist will be involved in helping keep the child active. During later stages of the condition, the physiotherapist will help more with respiratory issues as well. Physiotherapists monitor the child’s posture in sitting, lying and standing. They can inform the parents of ways to help the child sit, stand and lie in optimal positions using pillows or splints. A sleep system and night splints may be recommended for nighttime to help maintain the child’s posture over a long period of time. Physiotherapists help slow the regression of range of motion, muscle strength, and daily function, and work to improve gait pattern and posture/alignment. Physiotherapy can also address the pain that the patient may be experiencing. As the patient’s walking and standing abilities decline, the physiotherapist may choose to implement a standing programme. They maintain or improve cardiorespiratory and muscle strength, adapt activities or the child’s home or school environments to promote movement and mobility skills, and increase daily activities, which encourage participation in the community.

An anonymous bidder has shelled out a record $19 million for a private lunch with billionaire Warren Buffet at a steakhouse in New York City.
The meal with the Berkshire Hathaway CEO was offered on an eBay auction to benefit the San-Francisco-based charity GLIDE, which helps homeless people and those in poverty. The winner can bring up to seven guests.
Buffett has raised $53 million for GLIDE since the auction began in 2000. The charity earned the philanthropist billionaire's support when his first wife, Susie, introduced him to it after she started volunteering there. She died in 2004.
This year's event will be the first private lunch offered with the 91-year-old billionaire since the previous record-setting bid of $4.5 million by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun in 2019. The past two auctions were called off due to COVID-19 concerns and Buffett has said this will be the last.
“It’s been nothing but good,” Buffett said of the charity lunch in a news release. “I’ve met a lot of interesting people from all over the world. The one universal characteristic is that they feel the money is going to be put to very good uses.”
Like the winner this year, some other past winners have chosen to remain anonymous. One past winner, Ted Weschler, received a job offer from Buffett's company after he spent nearly $5.3 million on two auctions in 2010 and 2011. Weschler now works as an investment manager for the Omaha, Nebraska, conglomerate, Berkshire. | https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/national-international/anonymous-bidder-shells-out-record-19m-for-charity-lunch-with-warren-buffett/3080711/ | 2022-06-18T20:12:28Z | https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/national-international/anonymous-bidder-shells-out-record-19m-for-charity-lunch-with-warren-buffett/3080711/ | true | 52 |
Two actors from the Netflix series “The Chosen One” are dead and crew members are injured following an accident in Mexico.
Officials said a van the crew was traveling in crashed and flipped on Thursday on a desert road near their filming location on the Baja California Sur peninsula.
Local media reported the crash on Thursday.
The Baja California Department of Culture on Friday identified the actors as Raymundo Garduño Cruz and Juan Francisco González Aguilar.
The series, which has not yet been released, is being filmed by an independent production company.
Netflix says the series is based on a comic book series about a 12-year-old boy who “learns he’s the returned Jesus Christ, destined to save humankind.” | https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/jun/18/2-actors-netflix-show-chosen-one-dead-6-crew-injur/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS | 2022-06-18T20:21:33Z | https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/jun/18/2-actors-netflix-show-chosen-one-dead-6-crew-injur/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS | false | null |
The upcoming port of The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero looks to be going out of its way to accommodate the broad range of PC hardware fans are using. To be frank, it's not really the kind of game anyone expects to have a robust port, but the developers are working pretty hard at it. Harder, in fact, than anyone might expect.
First published in 2010 for the PlayStation Portable, The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero is part of the Trails sub-series to the long-running The Legend of Heroes JRPG series. They're consistent hits in Japan but more of a niche series in the US—especially on PC.
In a thorough post (opens in new tab) on Steam, PH3 chief technology officer Peter Thoman dives into a pile of upgrades made for this new port. This includes figuring out how to support ultrawide aspect ratios and traditional 4:3 on a fixed perspective, including the scalable UI. There's also mouse support for the entire game: "In fact, the entire game could feasibly and rather comfortably be played using only the mouse! Even the mini-games are fully supported," says Thoman.
Additional improvements are things like better draw distance, support for variable framerates up to 144 FPS, and anti-aliasing up to MSAA 8x. It's above and beyond what you expect for a PC port, frankly—I'd say it's what we should expect, but I fear I'd set an unrealistic expectation for everyone else porting in the future.
There are also upgrades to the game itself, like a message log similar to modern Trails games, better rendering and graphics, optimization, and platform features. Thoman promises to lay those out in future posts.
You can find The Legend of heroes: Trails from Zero on Steam (opens in new tab), where it's scheduled to release on September 27, 2022. | https://www.pcgamer.com/au/the-legend-of-heroes-trails-from-zero-is-going-hard-on-features-for-the-pc-port/ | 2022-06-18T20:23:12Z | https://www.pcgamer.com/au/the-legend-of-heroes-trails-from-zero-is-going-hard-on-features-for-the-pc-port/ | false | 4 |

It was scrappy and disjointed at times, which was to be expected in his side's first game of the year and only the third of his two-and-a-half-year tenure.
But he would have taken a lot from a committed and professional display that helped him answer some questions about England's World Cup hopefuls.
John Bateman and Tommy Makinson were among the standout performers, two players already guaranteed places in Wane's squad for the tournament.
For those on the fringes, Saturday's mid-season international in Warrington was a World Cup audition in England's penultimate hit-out.
Ironically, the biggest winner was a man representing the All Stars.
Leeds Rhinos hooker Kruise Leeming, who made his England debut against France last October, had the look of a man determined to prove a point after being overlooked by Wane.
He produced a lively performance and was arguably the best of the four hookers on show to boost his World Cup hopes.
The fixture does not have Test match status but both teams were littered with players aiming to play in the global tournament in England this autumn.
It was a flat atmosphere at the Halliwell Jones Stadium - reflecting the widespread apathy for the fixture - and a sedate start on the field.
Leeds prop Matt Prior tried to get the crowd going with a big shot on Alex Walmsley and Brodie Croft showcased his talent with a jinking run through the England defence.
The All Stars half-back knocked on just short of the line later in the set, a let-off for an England team still easing themselves into the match.
Wane's side were enterprising with the ball, seemingly intent on keeping a big All Stars pack on the move.
The opening try came on 11 minutes and it was a moment to remember for debutant Jake Wardle.
England shifted the ball out to the left edge where Sam Tomkins showed fast hands to put Wardle over.
It was a big opportunity for Wardle up against Rhyse Martin - playing out of position at centre - and the Huddersfield Giants man was in no mood to pass it up.
Wardle injected himself into the action at every opportunity with his dangerous running a feature of the first half.
Prior gave Leeds a scare when he left the field in clear discomfort nursing an apparent sternum injury and did not return.
England were not picture perfect - far from it - with recalled former Rhinos centre Kallum Watkins guilty of two errors in quick succession.
But Wane's men carried more threat than their opponents in the first half and were celebrating a second try just before the half-hour mark.
Makinson laid the platform with a typically bustling run and quick play the ball, allowing Bateman to burst straight through the heart of the All Stars defence.
The back-rower showed the presence of mind to find a faster man in support, the much-maligned George Williams on hand to finish despite the best efforts of Croft.
The Warrington Wolves half-back visibly grew in confidence, almost laying on a second try for Wardle with a neat kick in behind.
England took a 12-0 lead into the break, a fair reflection of a first half that belonged to Wane's team.
A man who demands high standards, Wane would have called for more from his players in the second half.
It was a positive start, Bateman displaying impressive strength to touch down under pressure from three defenders, although the video referee took some convincing.
There was no evidence that England put the cue on the rack but the All Stars went on to enjoy their best spell of the match all the same.
England scrambled well to crowd out Kelepi Tanginoa after Croft sent the Wakefield Trinity forward clear, although Wane would not have been overly impressed with the initial defending on the left edge.
Leeming injected life into proceedings, doing his World Cup chances no harm in the process.
He took advantage of sloppy marker play by opposite number Paul McShane to create another opportunity from deep, although once again the All Stars lacked a clinical edge.
The try eventually came 15 minutes from time as England became increasingly ragged and ill-disciplined.
A series of penalties gave the All Stars perfect field position and they finally found a way through thanks to quick thinking from Leeming, the hooker working the short side from a tap to give Shaun Kenny-Dowall the chance to put Ken Sio over in the corner.
The concession sparked England back into life, Wane's side going on to dominate the final 10 minutes without success.
There was still time for Makinson to deliver another reminder of his all-round ability, the St Helens winger denying Martin with a superb last-ditch tackle.
England: Tomkins, Makinson, Watkins, Wardle, Hall, Welsby, Williams, Walmsley, McIlorum, Cooper, Farrell, McMeeken, Bateman.
Substitutes: McShane, Batchelor, Lees, Oledzki.
All Stars: Mata'utia, Sio, Martin, Kenny-Dowall, Fonua, Miller, Croft, Sao, Clark, Tetevano, Edwards, Tanginoa, Prior.

Small businesses, retailers to take a hit due to repo rate hike
Arijit Malakar, Equity Research Analyst at Ashika Stock Broking limited said the rise in repo rate has a direct impact on retail loans demand.
Published: 18th June 2022 07:27 AM | Last Updated: 18th June 2022 07:27 AM | A+A A-
NEW DELHI: An increase in repo rate, which has a direct impact on lending rates, will adversely impact small businesses and retailers that are already in stress owing to the Covid-19 impact and soaring inflation.
Retailers with limited options are facing a challenging time as bank borrowings would mean extra costs and cutting down on borrowings will impact revival and growth, as per experts.
Arijit Malakar, Equity Research Analyst at Ashika Stock Broking limited said the rise in repo rate has a direct impact on retail loan demand. “It is estimated that the rise in interest costs for retail households and MSMEs could lead to a contraction in demand of as much as Rs 45,000 crore. Every 1 basis point increase in the repo has an impact of around Rs 305 crore on interest costs for retail & MSME consumers,” he said adding, that already-stressed MSMEs will find difficulty in servicing their existing & working capital loans and could refrain from borrowing a fresh loan.
Jyoti Prakash Gadia, MD, Resurgent India, agrees that Increased interest costs along with additional transportation costs will force MSMEs towards losses or increased prices of their manufactured goods. This in turn will lead to a fall in demand, thereby impacting the nascent revival of MSMEs.
“Searching for alternate sources of funding like PE or bonds is not easy and limited availability in this domain will not support the retailers.” Praveen Khandelwal, secretary-general, Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) says, “Post Covid, small businesses are fighting for the survival of trade and trying to bring back the businesses on a minimum comfort level.” | https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2022/jun/18/small-businesses-retailers-to-take-a-hit-due-to-repo-rate-hike-2466956.html | 2022-06-18T20:37:58Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2022/jun/18/small-businesses-retailers-to-take-a-hit-due-to-repo-rate-hike-2466956.html | false | 1 |
Blue Jackets sign Brendan Gaunce to a two-year, two-way contract
The Columbus Blue Jackets signed center Brendan Gaunce to a two-year, two-way contract through the 2023-24 season, the team announced Saturday.
According to reports, Gaunce will make $750,000 in the NHL or $450,000 in the American Hockey League next season. He will receive $775,000 (NHL)/$450,000 (AHL) in 2023-24.
Gaunce, 28, scored five goals and two assists in 30 games for Columbus last season.
"Brendan is a competitive forward with good size who can play both the center and wing," Columbus general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said in a news release. "He played well last season and brings versatility and depth to our forward group."
He also has played for the Vancouver Canucks (2015-19) and Boston Bruins (2019-20) during parts of six NHL seasons. Overall, Gaunce has 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in 117 games.

Cloud9’s bottom lane duo, Berserker and Zven, are expected to return to the LCS stage by week three, according to Fudge, the team’s top laner. In an exclusive interview with Dot Esports following yesterday’s opening match of the Summer Split, Fudge predicted that Cloud9’s full starting lineup could return to action soon.
Related: Cloud9 to begin 2022 LCS Summer Split campaign without bot lane starters Berserker, Zven
Berserker and Zven have been ruled out of Cloud9’s starting lineup for the foreseeable future following a series of “lost passports and COVID cases,” the team announced yesterday. While a return date is not set in stone, it appears as though the team could be playing without two starters for the foreseeable future.
In the meantime, Cloud9 is playing with two substitutes from the Academy level, K1ng and Destiny. The two Oceanic transfers have played in North America for several years each, but have not laned with each other since their time on Mammoth, an OPL squad that represented the region at the 2019 World Championship. That team also featured then-rookie Fudge in the top lane—one year before his full-time transfer to North America.
“I really enjoy playing with [K1ng] and [Destiny],” Fudge told Dot Esports. “They’re really open and receptive to criticism, which I really enjoy in a teammate. They also lighten up the mood and are really easy-going in general. I really enjoy playing with them. Obviously I played with them in Mammoth, so it’s sort of nostalgic. I think they’re really good players.”
Cloud9’s former head coach Nick “LS” De Cesare initially revealed information surrounding Berserker’s lost passport on his livestream earlier this month. LS initially projected that the process for applying to receive a new American visa would delay Berserker’s return until approximately week four of the Summer Split, however, Fudge’s prediction for a return seems slightly more hopeful.
Berserker spent the entirety of the Spring Split at the AD Carry position for Cloud9, while Zven, the team’s former ADC, was meant to debut at the support position at the start of the Summer Split.
Besides Berserker and Zven, Cloud9 also reintroduced Jensen to the starting lineup during yesterday’s opening game of the summer. Jensen had not played for Cloud9 since the 2018 season when the team reached the semifinals of the World Championship.
Cloud9 will return to the LCS stage later today for a matchup with Golden Guardians. | https://dotesports.com/league-of-legends/news/c9-fudge-zven-and-berserker-are-probably-going-to-be-here-by-week-3-if-i-had-to-estimate | 2022-06-18T20:44:07Z | https://dotesports.com/league-of-legends/news/c9-fudge-zven-and-berserker-are-probably-going-to-be-here-by-week-3-if-i-had-to-estimate | false | 1 |
DENVER – The Tampa Bay Lightning's lean years helped them land Steven Stamkos with the first pick in the 2008 NHL draft and Victor Hedman second in 2009. Same for the Colorado Avalanche with Gabriel Landeskog going second in 2011, Nathan MacKinnon first in 2013 and Cale Makar fourth in 2017.
The Lightning and Avalanche started from the bottom, and now they’re here in the Stanley Cup Final, in large part to nailing those high picks.
“You have to go through tough times to get those players,” Colorado general manager Joe Sakic said. “You’re not getting those players in the middle rounds.”
Well, sometimes. Brayden Point, Tampa Bay’s leading goal-scorer in its past two Cup runs, was a third-round pick. But this final is an example for the league’s other 30 teams just how important it is to not swing and miss in the top five of the draft.
“There’s no question that talent is a commodity that’s hard to come by,” said six-time Stanley Cup champion Mark Messier, who’s working the final as an analyst for ESPN. “Then you add commodity with heart and grit and determination and skill and hard work and all the other things, then you got something. Talent alone will never get you to the championship. But you need talent.”
A handful of 2022 top prospects saw that talent up close Saturday at Colorado’s morning skate and were slated to watch Game 2 against Tampa Bay. Shane Wright, the front-runner to be Montreal’s choice with the No. 1 pick, said a quick hello to MacKinnon.
But in the long run, Wright wants to be in his skates on this stage with the Canadiens or whoever winds up taking him.
“That’s what you work for your entire life,” Wright said. “It was definitely inspiring to see those guys here, see how hard they worked and see what it takes to make it at this level here.”
It took plenty of things going right along the way, but drafting well is the key for almost all winning franchises. Stamkos was the obvious choice for the Lightning, who got Hedman after John Tavares went first in ’09 to the New York Islanders, and the Avalanche were fortunate Makar fell to them eight years later.
Sakic and his staff faced a major question five years ago when MacKinnon, American defenseman Seth Jones and Finnish center Aleksander Barkov were the options for the top pick. Many considered Jones the best option for the rebuilding Avalanche, but they decided well before draft day that MacKinnon was their guy.
“Those top three player have all had great careers, but he was the one game-changer that could really entertain fans, as well,” Sakic said. “We are extremely fortunate we have Nathan on our team.”
Wright understands it’s a process. The Canadiens, New Jersey Devils or wherever he lands probably won’t be in the Stanley Cup Final right away, but he's ready to take that ride.
’The draft really impacts the structure of a team and the trajectory of a team and where they want to go,” he said. “Tampa and Colorado both had first overall picks a number of years back and now they’re finally contenders. Well, Tampa the last couple years, but Colorado more so this year is now a contender — one of the best teams in the league.
"Definitely it takes a couple years to build those draft picks up and draft the right pieces and get the right pieces in place, but it’s definitely cool to see, for sure.”

McLEAN, Va. (AP) — A gun was fired when a fight broke out at a northern Virginia mall on Saturday, but no injuries were reported and there was no active shooter situation, police said.
Officers were called to Tysons Corner Center on Saturday afternoon for a report of shots fired at the prominent mall near the nation's capital, Fairfax County police tweeted. A fight broke out and one man displayed a gun and fired, police said.
Police said there were no reports of any injuries and no confirmed reports of additional shots fired.
Officers immediately began clearing the mall to make sure no suspects were still present and also were helping those who had sheltered in place. The authorities asked people who were sheltering to stay in place until officers came to them.
Police said the mall was subsequently closed and they asked people to avoid the area. | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Police-Gun-fired-at-Virginia-mall-no-injuries-17251093.php | 2022-06-18T20:48:25Z | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Police-Gun-fired-at-Virginia-mall-no-injuries-17251093.php | false | null |
Providers across the country can start vaccinating kids ages 6 months to 5 years as early as this coming week after regulators cleared the final authorization steps on Saturday.
An independent panel of advisers to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted on Saturday to recommend vaccinating all children in the age group with one of two separate COVID-19 vaccines manufactured by Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech.
"I am fully confident that vaccines should be recommended," said Dr. Grace Lee, the chair of the panel and a pediatrician at Stanford University. "We can clearly prevent hospitalizations and death, and we have the potential to prevent long term complications from infection that we don't yet understand well."
CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky quickly endorsed the recommendation, the final step before the vaccines could be rolled out.
"We know millions of parents and caregivers are eager to get their young children vaccinated, and with today's decision, they can," Walensky said in a statement. "I encourage parents and caregivers with questions to talk to their doctor, nurse, or local pharmacist to learn more about the benefits of vaccinations and the importance of protecting their children by getting them vaccinated."
During a two-day meeting starting Friday, the panelists reviewed data from clinical trials by both pharmaceutical companies, as well data on the need for vaccines for this age group.
According to the CDC, as of May 28, more than 400 children 0-4 years have died due to COVID.
"Among people ages 1-4, COVID is fifth most common cause of all causes of death," said Dr. Matthew Daley, speaking at the meeting Friday.
And data from older children and adults show that vaccination prevents death, said Daley, a senior clinician investigator at Kaiser Permanente's Institute of Health Research. In fact, he added, among people 5 years and older, the unvaccinated are 10 times more likely to die from COVID than the unvaccinated.
"Phrased another way, deaths from COVID-19 are preventable through vaccination," he said.
The vaccine made by Moderna for 6-month-olds to 5-year-olds is a two-dose series, given four weeks apart. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for 6-month-olds to 4-year-olds is a three-dose series. The first two shots are given three weeks apart, and the third one eight weeks after the second shot.
The CDC advisory panel voted 12-0 in favor of recommending both vaccines for this group of children, concluding that both vaccines protect children in this age group against symptomatic COVID-19, and the benefits outweigh possible risk.
"I am tremendously excited," said Dr. Adam Ratner, head of pediatric infectious diseases at NYU Langone Medical Center and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics.
"This is a day a lot of us have been waiting for since the very beginning of the pandemic," he told NPR.
Many providers across the country have already pre-ordered the vaccine and can start administering it as early as this coming week.
"In early June, our state department of health put out a call for pre-orders," says Dr. Jennifer Shu, a pediatrician based in Atlanta.
She pre-ordered both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines and is expecting to start making appointments and giving the shots on Tuesday.
"We've had a lot of interest in the vaccine," she told NPR. "Our phones have been ringing off the hook."
Data from a survey conducted in February showed that around half of parents of this age group "said they would definitely or probably vaccinate their child once they become eligible," said the CDC's Dr. Sarah Oliver, speaking at Saturday's meeting.
A third of parents said they "definitely or probably would not vaccinate their child," she added. And a fifth of respondents said they would within three months of vaccines becoming available.
"This infection kills children," said Dr. Beth Bell, a member of the panel and a public health expert at the University of Washington, speaking at the meeting. "We have an opportunity to prevent that and every parent will want to consider that calculus as well."

CHENNAI: With the oil marketing companies increasing the one-time security deposit for domestic liquified petroleum gas (LPG) connections, a customer would have to pay an additional Rs 750 starting from June 16.
The deposit stands increased from Rs 1,450 to Rs 2,200 for the cylinder while for the pressure regulator it has been raised to Rs 250 from the existing Rs 150. For customers in the northeastern States, it has been revised to Rs 2,000 for the cylinder and Rs 200 for the pressure regulator.
The earlier price was Rs 1450 for each new connection.
Further, the security deposit for two cylinders while taking a new connection is Rs 4,400.
For a 5 kg cylinder, the security money has gone up from Rs 800 to Rs 1150, while Rs 150 and Rs 25 will have to be paid for the pipe and passbook respectively.
The increase in the security deposit, which was revised last in October 2012 and undertaken now in the wake of higher steel prices, is bound to raise hackles as it comes in the backdrop of a series of upward revisions in the LPG price since December, a report quoting sources said. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/jun/17/new-lpg-connectiongets-expensive-2466732.html | 2022-06-18T20:51:06Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/jun/17/new-lpg-connectiongets-expensive-2466732.html | true | 1 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Equating the oil and gas industry to Big Tobacco, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Friday that “fossil fuel producers and financiers have humanity by the throat.” But President Joe Biden wasn’t quite itching for a fight.
With both soaring energy prices and a warming planet weighing on the world at the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate, Biden talked about trying to ease the pain of high gas prices while pushing more long-term green policies.
Dismissing the idea of boosting gasoline production, the United Nations’ top diplomat threw out traditional diplomatic niceties and bluntly vilified the fossil fuel industry at a virtual session that included oil rich Saudi Arabia, China, Europe and Egypt, which is hosting the next United Nations summit on climate change. It was the first time Guterres compared the energy industry to tobacco interests, saying they use “the same scandalous tactics” to delay action that is good for people and the planet.
Biden reiterated his goal to lower gasoline prices that are averaging a record $5 a gallon in the U.S. while also shifting away from fossil fuels in order to limit climate change and the risks it presents.
“I’m using every lever available to me to bring down prices for the American people,” Biden said. “But the critical point is that these actions are part of our transition to a clean and secure and long-term energy future.”
Biden is also expected to visit Saudi Arabia next month. The White House recently praised the kingdom after OPEC+ announced that it would pump more oil to boost the global supply.
Guterres dismissed more drilling, saying “nothing could be more clear or present than the danger of fossil fuel expansion.”
“Even in the short-term, fossil fuels don’t make political or economic sense,” Guterres said.
“Had we invested earlier and massively in renewable energy, we would not find ourselves once again at the mercy of unstable fossil fuel markets,” Guterres said. “Let’s make sure the war in Ukraine is not used to increase that dependency.”
The secretary-general decided to amp up the rhetoric because of successful efforts by the industry to use the war in Ukraine as an excuse to start drilling projects, said a senior U.N. official who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to lack of authority to speak for the agency.
“It is very interesting to see the change in tone from the secretary-general. His language is blunter than any secretary general before him,” said Niklas Hohne of the New Climate Institute in Germany. “This comes at a time when we indeed observe a goldrush to new fossil fuel infrastructure… Such expansion is counterproductive to climate policy as it would lock the world into a high greenhouse gas future.”
In a statement, the American Petroleum Institute said governments and the industry need to work together: “Rising energy costs worldwide and current geopolitical tensions prove it is more important than ever to ensure continued access to affordable, reliable energy while reducing emissions. As populations grow and economies expand, the world will demand more energy, not less.”
Biden’s priorities are slashing methane leaks and getting more zero-emission vehicles on the roads.
Biden administration officials, insisting on anonymity to discuss the event, said they expect some of the countries to announce more ambitious climate targets as part of the landmark agreement reached in Paris in 2015.
Biden sounded the alarm on extreme weather events in an Oval Office interview on Thursday with The Associated Press.
“We have more hurricanes and tornadoes and flooding,” he said. “People saw what — I took my kids years ago to Yellowstone Park. They call me, ‘Daddy did you see what happened at Yellowstone, right?’ Well, it’s unthinkable. These are 1,000-year kinds of events.”
But the Russian invasion of Ukraine has scrambled Biden’s climate goals by driving up the cost of gas. Facing political pressure to get prices under control in a midterm election year, the Democratic president has urged U.S. oil refiners to produce more fuel even as companies say they lack the long-term incentives to do so because the administration is accelerating the move to clean energy.
“Well, I say in the short term, do the right thing,” Biden said Thursday, stressing his view that energy companies should increase production instead of trying to maximize their profits.
Biden comes to the summit with foreign leaders with far less of the climate ambition and hope he declared at the outset of his presidency, when he vowed to make the United States a leader again on slashing fossil fuel emissions to stave off the worst scenarios of global warming. Republicans and some Democrats since then have stalled and all but killed Biden’s most ambitious climate legislation.
While Biden has succeeded in securing funding to boost electric vehicles and some other climate measures, the setbacks have left Biden focused on voluntary pledges and initiatives like those Friday, which can easily be abandoned or reversed by future leaders.
That leaves Guterres, who doesn’t have the power or political limitations of Biden, to aim directly at the fossil fuel industry, saying they’ve “invested heavily in pseudo-science and public relations – with a false narrative to minimize their responsibility for climate change and undermine ambitious climate policies.”
Andrew Weaver, a University of Victoria climate scientist and former Canadian legislator, said Guterres’ equating the fossil fuel and tobacco industry “is a straight out comparison… “People haven’t been accountable for what I would are in some sense some very serious crimes against society.”
But Stanford University climate scientist and environment program director Chris Field said Guterres’ call to action “as exactly right” but said “we need to make sure that we don’t let the focus on fossil fuel companies as bad guys slow progress on solutions.”

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Four non-scientific buildings at the Kitt Peak National Observatory southwest of Tucson were lost in a wildfire, but early indications show other buildings on the property didn’t appear to be damaged, authorities said Saturday.
Buell T. Jannuzi, who leads the Department of Astronomy at the University of Arizona, said the fire didn’t appear to have damaged the telescope and science buildings at the observatory, though a closer examination of the site hadn’t yet been made due to safety concerns.
“This is the most threatening fire I can remember at Kitt Peak in the last 25 years,” Jannuzi said.
The fire reached the observatory early Friday. Crews were planning to assess the damage at the observatory later Saturday if conditions allowed for safe entry into the area.
Kitt Peak National Observatory is operated by NOIRLab, the National Science Foundation’s center for ground-based optical-infrared astronomy. The University of Arizona, which has had a telescope at the site since 1962, is a tenant of the observatory.
The lightning-caused fire, which led to an evacuation of the observatory earlier this week, had grown to 27 square miles (71 kilometers) by Saturday. There was zero containment of the fire, which started on June 11 on a remote ridge on the Tohono O’odham Indian Reservation.
In northern New Mexico, authorities who are concerned about the threat of post-wildfire floods as the state enters monsoon season have warned residents of San Miguel and Mora counties to be ready to evacuate due to flooding risks, the Albuquerque Journal reported.
The largest area facing flooding threats is where a fire that began two months ago has so far burned 533 square miles (1,381 square kilometers). The fire is 72% contained.
And in southwest Alaska officials say the immediate threat has passed to communities near St. Mary’s from a fire that by Saturday had reached 248 square miles (643 square kilometers) in size. | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/4-buildings-at-observatory-in-Arizona-lost-in-17251129.php | 2022-06-18T20:58:53Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/4-buildings-at-observatory-in-Arizona-lost-in-17251129.php | true | 11 |
Indian Men hold Netherlands 2-2; but lose 1-4 in shootout
Rotterdam, June 18, 2022
An incredible fightback saw India win a point from a thrilling 2-2 draw against hosts Netherlands in the regulation time of the FIH Hockey Pro League match here on Saturday. It was goals by Dilpreet Singh (22') and Harmanpreet Singh's (60+) that helped India equalize on both occasions.
However, the hosts added on bonus points from a 4-1 shootout win with their experienced goalkeeper Pirmin Blaak keeping the Indian attackers at bay.
Earlier in the game, Netherlands backed by a boisterous home crowd got off to a flying start creating two excellent shots on goal within two minutes of the start of the match. But luckily for India, both shots were off target.
Around the 5th minute, India launched an ambitious attack through Hardik Singh who cut into the circle from the top, attempting to take a shot on goal but the Dutch goalie Pirmin Blaak cleared the ball.
It was however, the Netherlands who fetched the first goal of the match when Derck de Vilder beat Indian defender Varun Kumar to find Tijmen Reyenga. With no defender near him, Reyenga (10’) took his time to take a successful shot past experienced India custodian Sreejesh to take a 1-0 lead.
Only seconds later, India fought back with Mandeep Singh creating a fine opportunity with a tactically earned penalty corner (PC). While Harmanpreet Singh's first shot was blocked, and a retake was awarded, a goal by Mandeep Singh off a rebound from the dragflick in the second attempt was disallowed by the umpire on account of dangerous play.
It continued to be an action-packed first quarter with India building on the intensity in their attack. This time, it was Abhishek challenging Blaak at the goal post, resulting in a PC but Jugraj Singh's flick was well-defended well by Blaak.
With the Netherlands leading 1-0, Sreejesh's inspired form was put to test once again in the second quarter when the hosts attacked the Indian post with back-to-back shots on goal through youngster Koen Bijen and Jorrit Croon, but an alert Sreejesh kept them at bay.
Meanwhile, Indian attackers broke the deadlock when a free-hit taken by Varun Kumar was cleverly passed to Dilpreet Singh, positioned perfectly inside the circle who just angled the deflection into the Netherlands' post. With the scores levelled, India mounted pressure in the Dutch half but couldn't score from it.
Seven minutes into the third quarter, Jasper Brinkman worked a good attack to help his team win a PC. But the dragflick was well defended by Sreejesh. A re-take awarded for dangerous play gave the hosts another chance at regaining the lead but a mix-up in the execution denied them a chance on goal. India too won a PC later in the third quarter through good stick work by Hardik but a poor execution of the set piece denied India a chance at taking the 2-1 lead.
With both teams tied at 1-1, the final quarter promised to be nail-biting with a fast-paced game being played out. Netherlands eventually managed to strike in the 47th minute when a good assist by Stejin van Heijningen was picked up well by Koen Bijen who beat defender Surender Kumar to score a splendid field goal for the Dutch, taking the scoreline to 2-1.
India, not the team to give up till the final hooter, came up with some exciting play as they pushed the ante in their attack. After some unsuccessful moves, and time quickly ticking away, Vivek Sagar Prasad created a much-needed chance for India with just two seconds left for the final hooter. The PC was perfectly executed with Harmanpreet, the highest goal-scorer of the Pro League, scoring on the buzzer to take the match into the shootout.
On 19th June, Indian Men's Hockey Team will take on Netherlands in the second of the double header at 2000 hrs IST in Rotterdam. The match will be telecast Live on Star Sports First and Disney+ Hotstar.

'Inhumane' to deny parents right to bury foetus younger than 26 weeks - activist
The miscarriage of a child can be a traumatic experience for any parent, but to be denied the right to bury the child will compound this pain.
That's the view of Sonja Smith of Voice of the Unborn Baby - an organization which took up the cudgels on behalf of parents to be granted this right.
Earlier this week, the Constitutional Court dismissed an application to confirm a high court order, which would give parents who lost their babies through miscarriage, before the 26-week mark, the right to choose to bury their foetus.
This comes after some provisions of the Births and Deaths Registration Act were declared as unconstitutional by the Gauteng High Court; which ruled that in the case of a pregnancy lost in other ways except medical intervention, parents should have the choice to bury the foetus.
Before this ruling, a foetus that hadn't reached 26 weeks was discarded as medical waste.
The Concourt application was brought by Voice of the Unborn Baby organisation and the Catholic Archdiocese of Durban, who believed that the act infringed on the rights of parents.
I started asking these questions in 2005 as to why parents do not have the choice to bury what they already perceive as their child. For all these years, there was no answer to my question. After high-level discussions with the Department of Health, we decided there was no other option to get clarity but to challenge the constitution.
Sonja Smith - Voice of the Unborn Baby
According to Smith, the interpretation of the act is that after 26 weeks, parents must bury or cremate a stillborn baby. Before 26 weeks, however, it's classified as a miscarriage, which means that the foetus must be incinerated as medical waste.
That to me is inhumane. Why can you not say goodbye to your baby in a dignified fashion?
Sonja Smith - Voice of the Unborn Baby
Smith's bid to give clarity to this question stems from her career as a funeral undertaker, where she experienced first-hand the grief of parents who lost their children.
In 2005, I was called to a private hospital to collect a set of [miscarried] triplets. When I arrived at the hospital, they were gone. I was told they're on the way to incineration in the medical waste truck.
Sonja Smith - Voice of the Unborn Baby
Up to now, there are still no proper guidelines on the management of birth before 26 weeks. Smith said mothers are "at the mercy" of medical staff in the case of a tragic loss. This means doctors would have different interpretations of how a miscarriage should be handled.
There should be a change in policy for healthcare workers, Smith added.
She believes there is a way to bypass the law.
You sign a form at the hospital, which is the same form when you want to take an appendix home. I've had cases of a 16-week foetus and the parents were adamant this is medical waste.
Sonja Smith - Voice of the Unborn Baby
My grey area starts between 20 and 26 weeks. There are babies born at 23 weeks onwards that live. At six-and-a-half months of pregnancy, it's practically a baby. How can you throw that baby in a bucket?

“Star Trek: Picard” became a true family affair on March 10, 2022, when the episode “Penance” dropped on Paramount+. Among the guest stars in that alternate-timeline episode was Jon Jon Briones, who played the Confederation Magistrate, a character married to President Annika Hansen (Jeri Ryan). Briones returned for the next episode, “Assimilation,” according to Memory Alpha, only for the magistrate to die. If the name Briones rings a bell for “Star Trek” fans, that’s because Jon Jon Briones is the father of Isa Briones, the actress who played the characters Soji, Dahj, Sutra, and Kore Soong across the first two seasons of “Picard.”
Isa and Jon Jon Briones didn’t share any scenes together, but the fact that daughter and father both acted on the same show represents a unique bit of “Star Trek” history. Heavy previously reported that Julie Cobb and Rosemary Morgan were the franchise’s first mother-daughter combination to appear on “Star Trek.” Cobb played Yeoman Leslie Thompson, the redshirt reduced to a pile of dust in “The Original Series” episode “By Any Other Name,” while Morgan portrayed the young terrorist Piri in the “Voyager” hour “The Chute.” Cobb’s ex-husband and Morgan’s former stepfather, according to the Internet Movie Database, is veteran “Trek” guest James Cromwell.
Isa & Jon Jon Briones Hope Their Brother/Son Teo Beams onto ‘Star Trek’ as Well
According to IMDB, Jon Jon Briones is a veteran stage, film, and television actor who was born and raised in the Philippines. His credits include the plays “Miss Saigon” and “Allegiance,” the latter of which starred “Star Trek” icon George Takei; episodes of “Las Vegas,” “Monk,” “Designated Survivor,” “American Horror Story,” “American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace,” “Ratched,” and “The Rookie;” and film “Sinbad: The Fifth Voyage,” which was narrated by Patrick Stewart. Isa Briones, according to her website, played Peggy/Maria in the first national tour of “Hamilton,” and has appeared in the film “Takers,” the television movie “Cutthroat,” and an episode of “American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace” in which she played the daughter of a character portrayed by Jon Jon Briones.
Heavy spoke to Isa and Jon Jon Briones on June 15, 2022, for an exclusive Father’s Day-themed interview in which they discussed their relationship, respective “Star Trek” experiences, upcoming projects, and more. Here’s what they had to say:
What’s the best piece of advice your dad has given you, Isa, whether it’s about life, acting, or life as an actor?
Isa: I feel like it’s all interconnected, because acting is a big part of my life, but the thing that always sticks out for me is this. At the end of the day, there’s a lot going on. We’ve talked a lot about decisions to make. Ever since I can remember, my dad has always said “Isa, trust your stuff. You know what you’re doing, who you are, and what you can do. Go out there and show them. Don’t question yourself.”
And Jon, happy Father’s Day. How did you and your wife, Megan, respond when both Isa and your son Teo said they wanted to be performers?
Jon: They didn’t say that they wanted to be performers. It just happened. It was something that couldn’t be stopped, something that we didn’t wish for. We didn’t encourage them, but how can they not? They always see it. They come to our shows. Isa has seen “Miss Saigon” so many times. The first time she saw it, she was a year and a half old. She’s been around theater, actors, and fans. The first time she joined me at the stage door and saw people, Isa was like, “This is weird, but kind of cool.” It became normal to her. Her transition from civilian life to this one was flawless. Before we knew it, she was enjoying it. We basically said, “Do it as long as you’re having fun.”
Isa: There are so many actor parents who are like, “Over my dead body is my kid gonna be an actor,” because they’ve seen the business. Honestly, now that I’m in and it’s a part of me, I get it, but they’ve always been so welcoming and saying things like, “Hey, we’re gonna show you what this business is like. There are some great parts, and there are some not-so-great parts.” They were always upfront about that and it made the decision that much more real because it wasn’t a decision for fame. It wasn’t a decision for glory or anything like that. I needed to do this.
What’s special about your dad, Isa, as a father, and as a performer?
Isa: There’s nothing special. (Laughs). That’s a hard one because I think the world of my dad. I could go on and on, but there’s one thing that I feel goes hand-in-hand with being a father and an actor. When you grow up with an immigrant parent, and that drive, passion, and feeling of having something to prove, you grow up watching someone that you love so much that is a pillar of strength and stability in your life. You see them relentlessly and persistently going for it and going for their dreams. That is what you would kill to see, as someone who — as a kid — is trying to go into something as unstable as theater or acting. When you see your parent go through all of that, yet still persist and stay strong, even through the hard knocks, it’s so inspiring. There are moments when you’re like, “How did I not give up?” The only answer is, “I just had to keep going.”
As a father, I saw his passion for providing for us. Knowing that responsibility is there as a father and as an artist, seeing how he just completely throws himself in and becomes who he needs to be… Even as we’re talking now, I’m older and we get more real about what we go through as people. It’s interesting to see your father become more vulnerable with you. You see that and you realize, “Wow, he was scared sh-tless just like I am.” He did it. He went in and did it well. That’s what makes seeing him succeed now and live these last few years of people recognizing his talent so exciting. I’ve always known he was crazy-talented, but now the world gets to see it and it makes that payoff even bigger. It’s so emotional getting to see people realizing how talented and how much of a good person my dad is.
And Jon, how about the reverse of that? What’s special about Isa as your daughter, and as a performer?
Jon: First of all, she’s an amazing human being. To my wife and I, that’s the most important thing. When you are, and you have empathy plus all these other qualities, your human side wins. As an actor, your understanding of the world — the people around you, human nature, and how to deal with things even outside of acting — becomes even better. Isa has always been a very strong, loyal, and protective person. There was one time. She was, I think, a year and a half. She was on a playground. She met these other kids and she was so happy playing with them, but they were being bullied. She stood up for them, to these boys. I was like, “Wow, what an amazing girl this is.” She’s 150% every single time and she’s amazing.
Isa Briones Played Four Characters on ‘Picard’
Your run on “‘Picard” just ended, Isa. You played Soji, Dahj, Sutra, and Kore. You got to die, and you got to sing. You got the full makeup treatment. You got to become a Traveler. How fun, challenging, and fulfilling were your two years on “Picard”?
Isa: I lucked out there. That’s the dream as an actor, to be able to play a complex role. That’s all you want, and I got to play multiple complex roles. With Soji, she felt the most like me, and so playing her was natural. When I got to drop into these other characters, I got to drop into little extremes of humanity. That was challenging, because, of course, you have to tap into parts of yourself when you’re playing an evil character. You have to tap into parts of yourself that maybe are not the best. You’re like, “Oh, that lives in me somewhere. Interesting.” It’s weird, but you are picking through humanity itself, even though I’m playing a robot.
Talk about your last scene as Kore. How did you enjoy working with Wil Wheaton? And if the opportunity arose to play her as a Traveler at some point in the future, how open would you be to that?
Isa: When that storyline came out, I didn’t learn about the details until a few weeks before we filmed that scene. I remember the writers were teasing at it. They were like, “You’re gonna like your last scene. It’s gonna be fun. You get to play with someone.” I was like, “Okay,” Wil is the best person in the world and brings such an iconic character to it. I knew going in that it would be so emotional for fans because they love Wesley Crusher, but also for Wil himself, because he has adored playing this role. The first thing he said to me was, “I have waited so many years to bring this character back, and the fact that I get to do it with you makes it even sweeter.” I felt the impact of that. Already, I’ve been given the honor of carrying on a legacy like Data, but now I get to be a part of Wesley Crusher’s legacy as well. That is huge. And hey, I’m always down. If I get to play with Wil Wheaton, give me that any day. I’ll do a spin-off. Give it to me. I haven’t heard anything, but I’ll do it.
Jon Jon Briones Enjoyed His Time on ‘Picard,’ But Didn’t Get to Work with His Daughter, Isa
And for you, Jon. How familiar were you with “Star Trek” when “Picard” came your way?
Jon: Oh, I watched “Star Trek” in the Philippines. The original one with Captain Kirk. When Isa booked this, she started watching “TNG.” And of course, while she’s watching it, we’d be watching it with her. It was a good show. I was not as familiar with it. The writing was good, and the storylines were riveting.
How did you land your role on ‘Picard?’ And how did you tell Isa?
Jon: My agents called me and said, “Hey, there’s an offer.” They wanted me to be on “Picard” in one episode and it turned out to be two episodes. I said, “Oh, cool. I get to work with Isa.” We didn’t tell Isa until she came to our house, and I said, “Hey, guess what? I booked a job.” She said, “Oh my God, congratulations!” To which I replied, “Yeah. I get to play this character who’s the husband of the President,” and she was like, “Tell me more!”
Isa: He kept saying names! He was like, “Yeah, this woman Seven.” I was like, “Seven?” It took me way too long to put it together. “I kill someone named Elnor.” I was like, “These names sound so familiar.”
You two ultimately did not get to share a scene, but did you ride to set together? Isa, did you get to see your dad work? What was it like if you did?
Isa: I was so jealous. Season two started after the pandemic happened. Filming was very different, and it was new to all of us. This was our first time back. My dad actually worked before I even did. They were rescheduling stuff, so my scene wasn’t filmed until later. He was working with all of them, and I was jealous. “You’re hanging out with all my friends!” I went in for a fitting and made sure that it was one of the days that all of them were working and that my dad was working with the whole cast. I stopped by, and I got to see him in his cool outfit. Shout out to Christine, our amazing costumer. She’s incredible. It was like a colliding of worlds. I’ve seen my dad do plenty of things on TV before.
And you did work with him, playing the daughter of his character, on “American Crime Story: The Assassination Of Gianni Versace.”
Isa: I did! Thankfully, it was not our only chance to work together. We’d played father and daughter, but it was so interesting to suddenly see my dad (on “Picard”) in a sci-fi place when usually he’s playing realistic evil characters. He was still evil, but in space.
Isa Briones Sang ‘Blue Skies,’ a Song Familiar to ‘Trek’ Fans, for the ‘Picard’ Season-One Finale
You got to play First Man to the President of the Confederation, Jon. You got to work with Jeri Ryan and you died a cool death. How did you enjoy your “Picard” experience?
Jon: It was amazing. I’ve been a big sci-fi fan. I’ve been reading Isaac Asimov’s books since I was younger. Being on set, seeing the spaceship, wearing the costumes, being in the green room with all the leads and conversing with them… all of that was amazing. Of course, we were taking pictures and sending them to Isa to make her jealous.
How badly do both of you want to get Teo and Megan on a “Star Trek” show, just to make it a total Briones family affair?
Isa: Let’s write that right now. We’re gonna write it down. Honestly, we were saying, when we were filming, “Hey, Teo could be like a younger version of Elnor.” I would buy it.
What do you both have coming up?
Isa: I am going to be playing Rizzo in Musical Theater West’s production of “Grease.” That opens July 8 and runs through July 24. It’s a very quick run. Come and see it in Long Beach if you’re in town!
Jon: I have a movie that I made for Amblin that’s coming out next year. It’s a horror movie. I also finished filming a mini-series in Atlanta. The movie is “The Last Voyage of Demeter.” It’s taken from “Dracula” by Bram Stoker. The miniseries is ‘Class of ‘09.’ | https://heavy.com/entertainment/star-trek/the-ultimate-star-trek-fathers-day-interview-isa-jon-jon-briones/ | 2022-06-18T21:10:00Z | https://heavy.com/entertainment/star-trek/the-ultimate-star-trek-fathers-day-interview-isa-jon-jon-briones/ | false | 1 |
A man died early Saturday after showing up at a Bronx hospital with a bullet in his chest, police said.
Derek Davis, 32, got himself to Lincoln Hospital’s emergency room about 12:30 a.m. with what appeared to be a stab wound to the torso, police were told.
But when doctors examined the wound they discovered Davis had been shot, not stabbed.
Davis, who has been arrested at least once before for weapons possession, died shortly after arriving at the hospital.
Cops later determined he was shot at his home on College Ave. near E. 168th St., about a mile north of the hospital, although it wasn’t immediately clear what sparked the shooting or who had been involved.
The gunman remained at large Saturday.
Police were scouring the shooting scene collecting surveillance video that could help identify the gunman. | https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-man-dies-after-showing-up-at-bronx-hospital-suffering-from-gunshot-wound-20220618-zgsxm6ltlzdyroqg6jn6slhbxa-story.html | 2022-06-18T21:11:42Z | https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-man-dies-after-showing-up-at-bronx-hospital-suffering-from-gunshot-wound-20220618-zgsxm6ltlzdyroqg6jn6slhbxa-story.html | true | 2 |
The Braves are the hottest team in baseball, but they won't be a lock for much longer
The Atlanta Braves are on a 13-game winning streak after defeating the Washington Nationals on Tuesday, the longest in the majors this season. And with another meeting against the Nationals on Wednesday and a three-game set against the Chicago Cubs to follow, they have a very good opportunity to extend it to 17 games.
Like the other four teams Atlanta has played through the streak, Washington and Chicago have losing records – bottom five in the entire MLB, in fact. That makes the Braves moneyline the rest of this week as close to a lock as any. The teams they previously beat were the bottom-five Athletics, and the barely better Pirates, Rockies and Diamondbacks.
When the streak started June 1, the Braves were just 23-27 themselves. Now, they’re 36-27, having drawn a clear divide between themselves and the league’s bottom tier. They’re just five games back of the Mets in the NL East.
For more value, Atlanta’s spread is also a safe play through Sunday. The Braves have won by an average of four runs during their streak. Passing on the -200 moneyline odds Tipico Sportsbook is giving them for Wednesday’s game in favor of the -125 odds for them to cover 1.5 points makes more sense. The Nationals have the second-worst point margin in the majors, and the first two games of this series had an average margin of five runs.
That’s also the best approach when Atlanta opens against Chicago on Friday. While the Cubs have a better margin than Washington, they’re one of the coldest teams in the league, losing eight straight games by an average margin of more than five runs.
Next week, things get a little tougher for the Braves with back-to-back series against the top-10 Giants and the Dodgers looming — both teams have better records than Atlanta. Now is the time to capitalize on the hottest team in baseball before it’s too late.

Agnipath protests spread to Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode
In the state capital, the protestors took out a march from Thampanoor to Raj Bhavan. In Kozhikode, a similar protest was held in front of the railway station.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM/ KOZHIKODE: The ongoing nationwide protests against Agnipath spread to Kerala when scores of youths took to the streets to protest against the Union Government's controversial recruitment scheme for the Armed Forces. Massive protests were organised in Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode on June 18.
In the state capital, the protestors took out a march from Thampanoor to Raj Bhavan. In Kozhikode, a similar protest was held in front of the railway station.

It was around 9:30 AM that around 500 youth gathered in front of the Thampanoor Railway Station. Gradually, the number of protesters surged, catching both the police and the authorities unawares. Hundreds of youngsters reached Thiruvananthapuram from different parts of the state.
The protesting youngsters expressed their anguish at being denied jobs in the Armed Forces. Most of them are awaiting the next round of recruitment after passing the physical test in 2021. Their demand is that the Combined Entrance Examination (CEE) scheduled earlier and later postponed six times, should be held at the earliest.

A 22-year-old P S Pranav from Kulathoor in Neyyatinkara told The New Indian Express that he reached Thampanoor after the applicants' WhatsApp community decided to hold a protest march on Saturday.
"I sweated a lot to pass the physical and medical tests. For the last 18 months, the authorities were taking us on a ride. Recruitment to BSF and CRPF were held under the aegis of the Staff Selection Commission. The pandemic was never an issue on their recruitment," said a dejected Pranav.

Due to the pandemic, the Army recruitment rallies were postponed across the country over the last two years. The central leadership of the CPM and Congress have rallied behind the protesters. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2022/jun/18/agnipath-protests-spread-to-keralas-thiruvananthapuram-and-kozhikode-2467060.html | 2022-06-18T21:13:57Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2022/jun/18/agnipath-protests-spread-to-keralas-thiruvananthapuram-and-kozhikode-2467060.html | true | 1 |
Why is Boston's Jayson Tatum struggling so much in the 2022 NBA Finals?
While there may be a growing debate about whether it is caused by his inexperience, his shoulder stinger, the lockdown defense of the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 NBA Finals, or something else entirely, one thing everyone can agree on is that the Boston Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum has not been playing like himself in the Finals against the Dubs.
Why is the St. Louis native struggling so much in the Finals? Could he be injured, or is it more psychological or related to his level of experience? The hosts of the CLNS Media “A-List” podcast recently put their heads together to try and determine what might be throwing Taco Jay off of his game at one of the most important moments of his NBA career.
Join Kwani A. Lunis and Gary Washburn in the clip below to hear their thoughts on what the problem could be — and what needs to happen for Boston to win it all.

BBC under fire after commentator says they’re ‘looking forward to welcoming’ jailed Boris Becker back on screen
THE BBC has come under fire after a tennis commentator said they were “looking forward to welcoming” jailed Boris Becker back on screen.
Bosses were sent into a spin by Andrew Castle’s remarks, made during live coverage of the Queen’s Club Championships.
Fallen idol and pundit Becker, 54, was convicted of fraud in April.
Ex-tennis player Castle, 58, said: “I’ve had a real moment of missing Boris.
“I know he’s in prison and I know why. Boris, we look forward to welcoming you on your return.”
But his comments on Friday sparked fury.
On social media, one fan said of Becker: “He knowingly committed fraud, and the BBC should not employ him again.”
Another insisted: “We don’t want to hear about him.”
German Becker — who won Wimbledon aged 17 in 1985 — was jailed for 2½ years for fraudulently concealing £2.5million after being declared bankrupt.
The twice-married dad is in Huntercombe jail, Oxon.
A BBC source said “no decision” had been made on whether it would re-employ Becker when he is freed. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18932550/bbc-andrew-castle-boris-becker/ | 2022-06-18T21:16:01Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18932550/bbc-andrew-castle-boris-becker/ | false | 4 |

Recently leaked audio from over 80 internal meetings reveals that China-based employees of the massively popular app TikTok repeatedly accessedU.S. user data, despite the company’s claims to the contrary.
BuzzFeed News reports that leaked audio from over 80 internal TikTok meetings reveals that China-based employees of the popular video sharing app have accessed U.S. user data on a repeated basis. The recordings are dated between September 2021 and January 2022 and include 14 statements from nine TikTok employees meeting to discuss “Project Texas,” a classified effort by U.S. employees to stop engineers in China from retrieving U.S. data.
One of the audio clips includes a TikTok director referring to a engineer of TikTok’s parent company ByteDance as a “Master Admin,” who has “access to everything.” TikTok made an announcement after the report was published, attempting to head off the bad news by stating that “100% of US user traffic is being routed to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure,” instead of being hosted at data centers in the U.S. and Singapore.
In a comment to the Daily Mail, a TikTok spokesperson said:
As we’ve publicly stated, we’ve brought in world class internal and external security experts to help us strengthen our data security efforts.
This is standard industry practice given the complexity of data security challenges. In May, we created a new in-house department, U.S. Data Security (USDS), with US-based leadership, to provide a greater level of focus and governance on US data security.
The creation of this organization is part of our ongoing effort and commitment to strengthen our data protection policies and protocols, further protect our users, and build confidence in our systems and controls.
In August of 2020, former President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning TikTok and the Chinese app WeChat in the U.S. The reasoning behind the ban was the former President’s belief that TikTok’s “data collection threatens to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans’ personal and proprietary information.”
That executive order was revoked by President Joe Biden last year, unbanning the app. Biden also called for “an evidence-based analysis to address the risks’ from internet applications controlled by foreign entities.”

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An anonymous bidder has shelled out a record $19 million for a private lunch with billionaire Warren Buffet at a steakhouse in New York City.
The meal with the Berkshire Hathaway CEO was offered on an eBay auction to benefit the San-Francisco-based charity GLIDE, which helps homeless people and those in poverty. The winner can bring up to seven guests.
Buffett has raised $53 million for GLIDE since the auction began in 2000. The charity earned the philanthropist billionaire’s support when his first wife, Susie, introduced him to it after she started volunteering there. She died in 2004.
This year’s event will be the first private lunch offered with the 91-year-old billionaire since the previous record-setting bid of $4.5 million by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun in 2019. The past two auctions were called off due to COVID-19 concerns and Buffett has said this will be the last.
“It’s been nothing but good,” Buffett said of the charity lunch in a news release. “I’ve met a lot of interesting people from all over the world. The one universal characteristic is that they feel the money is going to be put to very good uses.”
Like the winner this year, some other past winners have chosen to remain anonymous. One past winner, Ted Weschler, received a job offer from Buffett’s company after he spent nearly $5.3 million on two auctions in 2010 and 2011. Weschler now works as an investment manager for the Omaha, Nebraska, conglomerate, Berkshire. | https://www.wrbl.com/news/business/ap-business/warren-buffetts-final-charity-lunch-draws-record-19m-bid/ | 2022-06-18T21:28:35Z | https://www.wrbl.com/news/business/ap-business/warren-buffetts-final-charity-lunch-draws-record-19m-bid/ | true | 52 |
U.S. drivers may get some near-term relief on gas prices heading into the Juneteenth holiday weekend as crude prices plunged to a three-week low in mid-day Friday trading amid ongoing concerns for a global recession.
Data from the AAA motor club indicated that U.S. gas prices eased from this week’s all-time high to a national average of around $5 per gallon for the first weekly decline in more than two months. Although small, the decline could portend bigger declines over the summer as oil prices slide in the face of uncertain demand, and a surging U.S. dollar, linked to the global economic slowdown.
Patrick De Haan of consumer advocate GasBuddy.com suggests today’s decline in crude could take gas back to around $4.55 to $4.75 per gallon in the weeks ahead.
WTI crude futures for July delivery, the most tightly-linked commodity to U.S gasoline prices, were marked $5.91 lower on the session at $111.68 per barrel.
Brent crude contracts for August delivery, the global pricing benchmark, fell $5.59 to change hands at $114.20 per barrel and on pace for its biggest weekly decline in five.
Scroll to Continue
The pace of U.S factory growth fell sharply in May, data indicated Friday, although overall industrial output edged 0.2% higher and capacity levels improved. Still, retail sales data earlier this week indicated that American consumers are diverting more of their extra cash to cover the record surge in gas prices and are pulling back on discretionary spending.
The stand-alone sales of gasoline surged 4% last month, the Commerce Department said, as prices hit consistent record highs of nearly $5 per gallon for much of the month. Retail trade at gas stations, the data suggested, was up 43.2% from the same period last year.
The University of Michigan’s benchmark consumer sentiment survey hit an all-time low last week, and data from the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow forecasting tool suggests the economy has stopped growing over the second quarter and could tip into recession before the end of the year.
Others, however, warn that dwindling global supplies, as well as the impact of Russia’s war on Ukraine, will likely keep near-term crude prices elevated.
Energy Department data earlier this week noted that stockpiles at the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve fell to the lowest levels since January of 1987 last week, while overall domestic inventories fell by a weekly record of 7.7 million barrels to just over 511 million barrels.
“The current level of market tightness driven by supply issues is simply too big of a factor to ignore,” said Saxo Bank’s chief commodity strategic Ole Hansen. “As a result, we are seeing low availability of fuels into the peak summer demand season.”
“Sanctions against Russia and other multiple disruptions have led to the OPEC+ group trailing its own production target by more than 2.5 million barrels per day,” he added. “The risk of even tighter markets was highlighted by the International Energy Agency in their monthly update when it said that world oil supply will struggle to meet demand in 2023.” | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/gas-price-relief-in-sight-as-crude-oil-tumbles-on-recession-fears/227479/ | 2022-06-18T21:35:12Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/gas-price-relief-in-sight-as-crude-oil-tumbles-on-recession-fears/227479/ | false | 2 |

2022 Daytime Emmy Awards: Complete List of Winners
The 2022 Daytime Emmy Awards are ready to honor the best in television talent, hosting and programming!
On Saturday, the first batch of winners will be announced from this year's awards, with certain categories presented at the Creative Arts & Lifestyle Daytime Emmy Awards, ahead of the 49th annual Daytime Emmy Awards at the Pasadena Civic Center on June 24.
Among this year's notable nominees are Beyoncé, who earned her first nomination for Outstanding Original Song for Talks With Mama Tina; This Old House, which received its 100th nomination and will also be honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award; and Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem, which is up against Days of Our Lives, marking the first time a series and its spinoff will go head-to-head in the Best Daytime Drama category.
Additionally, Entertainment Tonight was nominated for two awards, and ET's very own Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner will be hosting the 49th annual Daytime Emmy Awards next week!
In 2021, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.
In recognition of the marked increase in content and entries for children’s programming, 2022 will mark the first annual Children’s & Family Emmy Awards -- set to take place on Sunday, Dec. 11 -- with relevant categories separating from the Daytime Emmys into their own competition and ceremony. All awards are judged by a pool of peer professionals from across the television industry.

One of the many touchstone issues that has defined the political divide in the United States is abortion. You may be aware of the Supreme Court's forthcoming reckoning over the federally-protected right of women to terminate their own pregnancy. Whatever the outcome, though, the decision won't stop women from seeking abortions in the states that permit it — that also means anti-abortion activists will be deploying strategies to prevent as many of them as possible. Now, lawmakers are urging online search behemoth Google to make sure it is directing women to the right places.
Senator Mark Warner, D-Va., and Representative Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich. sent a letter (via Reuters) to the company on Friday asking it to make sure it is providing accurate business results when people search for abortion clinics. They note that some listings refer to "crisis pregnancy centers" which don't provide abortion services and, in many cases, are run by anti-abortion groups who attempt to convince those considering abortion not to go through with their plans — in a number of cases as noted by the AMA Journal of Ethics, they will be located near existing abortion clinics, employ unlicensed clinicians, and may go as far as to misinform women about the abortion process and their options.
Addressing Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and its parent company Alphabet, lawmakers sought the following provisions:
1. A plan to limit anti-abortion clinics in Google search results, ads, and Maps
2. A plan to add disclaimers that clearly indicate whether a search result does or does not provide abortions
3. Information on Google’s attempts to provide accurate search results pertaining to health care
The letter cited research from the British nonprofit Center for Countering Digital Hate which claims that 11% of overall Google results for "abortion clinic near me" and "abortion pill" refer users to resources from anti-abortion advocates. Furthermore, 37% of Google Maps results point to locations run by such groups. Searches were conducted from virtual locations in 13 states where so-called "trigger laws" banning abortion or making them impractical would take effect if the Supreme Court were to revoke federal protections for abortion as made precedent in Roe v. Wade.
The message was signed by 14 senators and seven members of the U.S. House of Representatives, all of whom are Democrats.
Google declined to comment specifically on the letter, saying in a statement that it is "always looking at ways to improve our results to help people find what they're looking for, or understand if what they're looking for may not be available." | https://www.androidpolice.com/lawmakers-urge-google-on-abortion-clinic-listings/ | 2022-06-18T21:39:25Z | https://www.androidpolice.com/lawmakers-urge-google-on-abortion-clinic-listings/ | true | 1 |
Tyler Sanders, who starred on the Amazon spinoff series Just Add Magic: Mystery City and guest-starred on 9-1-1: Lone Star, Fear the Walking Dead and The Rookie, died Thursday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 18. His agent Pedro Tapia confirmed the news but did not provide details. He added that Sanders’ death is under investigation.
“Tyler was a talented actor with a bright future,” Tapia said. “He comes from a wonderful family, and we ask that you respect their privacy at this time.”

Sanders was in several short films and the played Young Jake Otto in an episode of AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead before appearing as Leo in Amazon’s Just Add Magic in 2019. That led to a starring role in the 2020 spinoff series Just Add Magic: Mystery City, which focused on step-siblings Leo (Sanders) and Zoe (Jolie Hoang-Rappaport) and their neighbor Ish (Jenna Qureshi). Sanders’ Leo became the new protector of the magic cookbook, unlocking centuries-old mystery that takes them on an historical adventure through the city streets in a race to find a secret recipe.

Our relationships counsellor answers your problems: My husband is abusive and lazy. So why can't I leave him?
- An anonymous person says that she struggling to leave her abusive husband
- She discovered that he takes a young woman from his office out for lunch
- Turning to Caroline West-Meads she says that he denies that there is problem
Q I have been with my partner for eight years and married for five of them. I know in my heart that I am not being treated well, but I need some outside guidance as I can’t be sure if I am or not. My husband left home over a year ago after a spiteful argument in which he slammed my hand in a door, hurting it so badly I ended up in A&E. I asked him to leave, which he did.
Then, five months ago, he came back – full of charm and apologies. But this soon lapsed. He expects me to do everything around the house (even though I also work), including clearing up after his huge dog, and he gets angry and abusive if I don’t. He goes to the pub with his friends all day long on Saturdays and Sundays, and gets home drunk around 1am.
An anonymous person says that she struggling to leave her abusive husband. She discovered that he takes a young woman from his office out for lunch
I also recently discovered that he takes a young woman from his office out for lunch every day – she is 25, he is 50. Recently, he was invited to a friend’s wedding and said he wouldn’t be taking me because his friends hate me and think I’m a liar. When I try to tell him how unhappy I am, he denies there is a problem and says it’s all in my head. I can feel myself going downhill and am worried that I’m about to have a breakdown.
A You say you are not sure if you are being treated badly. Actually, you are being treated appallingly – and this situation has to stop. It is not clear whether you are in physical danger and if the injury to your hand was accidental and an isolated incident.
However, it is deeply concerning that your husband is displaying such a high level of uncontrolled anger. It also doesn’t sound as though he showed any sympathy or remorse for hurting you. In fact, he is using coercive control to undermine your confidence. He belittles you, manipulates you and emotionally bullies you. Abuse of this sort can turn into physical violence over time.
This behaviour is against the law. You already know that you have to get out – but you need help to do so.
Please contact Refuge’s National Domestic Abuse Helpline (0808 2000 247, nationaldahelpline.org.uk). It can be dangerous at the point of leaving a potentially violent man, so Refuge will help you make a plan to go safely. If he poses no physical threat to you (and do discuss this with them), then you should not have to be forced out of your home. Contact Citizens Advice (citizensadvice.co.uk) or the charity LawWorks (lawworks.co.uk) to find out your rights regarding your home and finances.
Making these changes will not be easy but, with the right support, it will be possible. Once your husband is no longer in your life, I recommend counselling to help rebuild your self-esteem so that if he tries to come back, you will be able to say no and mean it.
He wants me to end my friendship with his ex
Q My brother and his girlfriend of six years have split up after she left him. I always thought she was a bit of a saint for putting up with him. He doesn’t have any glaring flaws but he is a total workaholic and has always ducked out of gatherings with family and friends, even holidays.
The last straw was that he wouldn’t commit to marriage and children – she is 34 so feels that time is running out. I have never been particularly close to my brother – he’s seven years younger than me – but I had become close to his ex. We used to enjoy spending time together, and she’s sweet with my children. Now, however, my brother is demanding that I end my friendship with her. He says that to not do so would be disloyal because I’m his sister, not hers.
A I know your brother is only speaking through pain, but he is being unreasonable. Yes, his girlfriend has hurt him – though he has hurt her too. She has received very little attention from him over the years and, while I’m sure that he might say he was working hard to provide a lifestyle for them both, he has failed to listen because his absence was not what she wanted.
Perhaps he sees himself as the only injured party because she was the one who left – but she must have felt hurt that he would not commit. Tell your brother that while you love him and will support him, you are not prepared to end your friendship with his ex. If he tries to make you choose and threatens not to talk to you if you keep her friendship, then choose her. He is only calling your bluff and will come round in due course when he feels less bitter.

Russia has been preparing for sanctions since 2014, after it annexed Crimea.
-
Moscow was already hit by a range of Western-led sanctions after the annexation.
-
Since then, Russia has been protecting itself through a variety of measures.
Economists have been predicting an implosion of President Vladimir Putin’s economic regime since the West hit Russia with sweeping sanctions over its invasion of Ukraine. But three-and-a-half months into the war, Russia has been holding up — with Putin announcing on June 7 that inflation has slowed and unemployment has held steady.
It helps that Russia is an energy powerhouse that’s still posting bumper sale revenues thanks to soaring oil prices. Even without an energy windfall, Russia could in the near-term be buffered from sanctions. That’s because the country has been sanction-proofing itself since 2014 when it was also hit with a raft of trade restrictions after it illegally annexed Crimea from Ukraine.
Putin has “refashioned the Russian economy into a fortress” to weather external shocks, wrote Veronica Carrion, an economic researcher at the American Bankers Association (ABA) in an ABA Banking Journal post on June 13.
Some experts have cast doubt on the reliability of Russian statistics since the start of the war. “The Russian government obviously has an incentive to try to hide the economic impact of Western sanctions,” said Andrew Lohsen, a fellow in the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Even if the economy’s holding up as well as it appears, Russia could still eventually run out of time when the commodities rally stall and as the West’s intensifying sanctions gnaw their way through the system. But for now, the country is showing unexpected resilience from a range measures, such as padding up its reserves and weaning off foreign capital.
Here’s what Russia has been doing in attempts to sanction-proof its economy.
Moscow has been padding up reserves and stashing up gold
Before the invasion, Russia held the world’s fifth-largest foreign currency and gold reserves pile worth about $630 billion, according to the Bank of Finland Institute for Emerging Economics. “This stockpile can cover the government’s balance sheet and support the ruble,” wrote Carrion.
Russia has lost access to about half of that amount due to sanctions, the country’s finance minister said in March. But there’s still lots of physical gold stashed up in the country — which is also the world’s second-largest producer of the precious metal.
Russia’s gold holdings have tripled since 2014, and they are all stored in vaults at home, according to the central bank. The US has sanctioned Russian transactions using gold, but that wouldn’t stop “opportunistic countries” from doing business with Moscow, wrote Carrion.
Russia’s also continuing to pad up some reserves in the form of its emergency funds — thanks to a windfall from its oil and gas sales. In April and June, it added $12.7 billion to its emergency reserves. These funds will be used to ensure stable economic development amid sanctions, Reuters reported on June 9, citing a Russian government statement.
Russia has been weaning itself off foreign capital and paying down debt
Beyond saving up, Russia has been weaning itself off foreign capital by aggressively paying down debt over the last eight years, wrote Gian Maria Milesi-Ferretti, a senior economics studies fellow at the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy on March 3. The country is now a net creditor on the international markets, he added.
“Vladimir Putin is allergic to borrowing money,” Andrew Weiss, a Russia expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, told NPR’s “Money Planet” in February. “He’s not looking to use the banking system in Russia or access to Western capital to make Russia great.”
Russia’s foreign debts are pretty low. The government owed about $39 billion in foreign currency bonds at the end of 2021, JPMorgan estimated. In comparison, Greece defaulted on 205.6 billion euros ($277.5 billion) in sovereign debt in 2012.
As for Russia’s overall national debt, it’s just at 17% of GDP — well below triple-digit figures for many developed countries and mostly denominated in rubles. So, the country “doesn’t really need to borrow,” wrote Anton Tabakh, chief economist at Russian ratings agency Expert RA on the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace website on June 15. US national debt is at about 130% of GDP, per Statista.
The biggest problem Russia has now is paying its foreign debts because of restrictions caused by sanctions, added Tabakh. Once that’s solved, Russia and its companies will be able to pay down its debt, and the country’s own resources “should be sufficient to cover the needs of the budget, banks and corporations,” he added.
Russia is turning inwards to economic self-sufficiency
Russia’s turning inward as it has become an international pariah — but, as a huge producer of commodities, its economy won’t crumble entirely — even though growth will be slow and low, said Hassan Malik, a senior sovereign analyst at Boston-based investment management consultancy Loomis Sayles.
“Russia is one of the few countries in the world that can engage in autarky,” Hassan told Insider. He was referring to the notion of economic self-sufficiency. The country is a major producer of crude oil, natural gas, wheat, and metals like nickel and palladium.
To counter an exodus of international companies that have taken their goods and services with them, Russian entities have taken over the firms and are substituting their products with homegrown offerings.
For instance, the city of Moscow and a Russian state-backed group took over French carmaker Renault’s operations in the country for the nominal sum of 2 rubles (3.5 cents.) They plan to revive a Soviet-era car brand with the manufacturing facilities, the city’s mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said in a blog post.
But Russia’s economic situation will still be very tough. Putin himself said on June 9 that substituting imports with locally produced goods “is not a panacea,” the AFP reported. He said Russia will look for new trading partners and continue developing its own industries for “critically important technologies.”
The breadth and scope of current sanctions go far beyond those imposed in 2014, so they will “will impose very severe costs on the Russian economy,” wrote Milesi-Ferretti in his March 3 post.
Russia’s economy is expected to shrink 8.5% in 2022, with a further decline of 2.3% in 2023, the International Monetary Fund projected in an April report. That would be the economy’s largest decline since the years following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

5 Tips On Choosing The Right Book Printing Services
Getting any book printed is no easy matter. Whether you are a writer having your first novel printed or you are in charge of your company’s new coffee table book, getting the right book printing services is of utmost importance. It is often the technical aspect of it that you should put much consideration on, but there are also certain factors that you need to determine when getting a printing project like this done properly.
Here are 5 tips that can help you in choosing the best printer for your book.
1. Consider the printing rates.
You should ask for book printing quotes immediately when you contact a printer. This will give you the idea if you have enough budget for their services. But how would you know if the price is right? One thing that you can do is to ask more than one book printer. Chances are they will have different book printing quotes to offer you.
Is the price the determining factor in your selection? That should not be the case. Just because one printer’s price is higher than the other, it does not mean he is providing the better quality printing service. There are many factors in book printing services that help fix the price and you should look deeper into it.
2. Ask to see their printing equipment.
The quality of your book will depend highly on the printing equipment used. It is not that the newer equipment will be better than the older one, but it is the condition of the printer that really matters. If you can see that the printer is not well maintained, then there might be a chance your book printing might get delayed.
Of course, if you are intending to use digital printing technology, the latest models would often be better. It will have a good combination of speed and quality printing.
3. How helpful is the printer with your inquiries?
A good printing company will be able to help you every step of the printing process. A printer can provide you with suggestions on your printing requirements should they find that your preference is not that good. After all they are supposed to be the experts and therefore they will know what are the best materials for your book. You can sense if the printer is just trying to sell you more services or trying to raise the rates or maybe they are really concerned with the quality of your book.
4. How long have they been in the printing business?
Find a printer who has been providing book printing services for many years. The experience is a great factor in determining the quality of the printing service that they can provide you. After all, they will not be in business for so long if they are not consistent with their output.
5. Go with a printer that has good reputation.
In this age of every information can be found online, it is often very easy to check the reputation of any business. There will certainly be reviews published online or in print. Check if the printer of your choice has a great reputation. Although as they say, nobody can be perfect, if there are any bad reviews try to also check if the claims are real.

How to Automate Your Massage Business
There is only one of you and hopefully lots of them. If you are a massage therapist with your own practice, chances are you are in need of new ways to streamline your business administrative processes. Your time is best spent in session,working-out knots and relieving tension, not sitting behind a desk staring at a computer screen. Unfortunately, you cannot simply ignore phone work, appointment setting, marketing, and client follow-up. These are necessary tasks for your business’ success. However, for most small massage practices outsourcing work or hiring an assistant is cost prohibitive. The solution? Leverage the power of technology to automate your massage business as much as possible by doing the following:
- Create and Maintain a well-designed and Informative Website -In today’s market, having a website is not an option. It is a necessity. Clients assume a “successful” business will have a web presence and of course you do not want to disappoint them. Your website should provide an accurate overview of your services. Whether or not you include a price list is a matter of preference. Most spas and therapist do. Keep in mind, many clients will make a decision to schedule an appointment with you based on the types of services you offer and at what price. Include your available appointment times and instructions on how to schedule a session. An FAQ section with the most common questions (i.e What to bring to a session? Are credit cards accepted? What to expect during the first session? etc.) will allow you to address clients’ concerns easily and effectively
- Online Appointment Schedulers – Booking a first time appointment with a new client can sometimes take upwards of thirty to forty-five minutes. New clients often have questions. Of course you want to take the time to answer their questions and make your clients feel comfortable. Whether it’s through your websites FAQ’s or if it’s specific to a medical condition, when they come in addressing client concerns is necessary. The interactions you want to avoid are clients sharing with you the details of their busy schedules and the explanation for why they want to come Saturday at 2:00pm instead of Saturday at 11:00am. With an online appointment scheduler clients can peruse your availability and schedule their appointment accordingly. If they need to reschedule that can be done easily online without the shame and stress of them calling in speaking with you. Not only do online appointment schedulers help you to automate your massage business but it empowers your clients, as well.
- Virtual Phones – No one wants to sit in an office and wait for a phone to ring. Chances are if you are in your office you’re in session and if you are not in session you are out marketing, running errands, or taking care of personal business. With standard business phones your best option is to forward your number to your cell phone. If you are running your business off your cell phone, you’re forced to have two cell phones, one for business and one for personal use, or you run the risk of mixing business calls with personal calls – not a good thing. The better solution is to use a virtual phone. For only $4.88 a month you can use the virtual phone service of phone.com and project a professional image to your clients. Your calls can follow you anywhere. You have the option of an auto attendant, unlimited voicemail boxes, call screening, call transfers, after-hours greetings, etc.
- Email Marketing (Using AutoResponders) – Following up with clients after a first session could not be easier if you use an autoresponder. Autoresponders allow you to pre-type messages for clients, save them within your account, and then schedule a time to send them. The software does the rest. So for example, you could set up a campaign that automatically sends out a welcome email to all new clients, then sends a what to expect e-mail two days before the scheduled appointment, and a follow-up email the day after a session. Are you running a special or want to wish clients a happy holiday? You can send an email blast (using a pre-designed graphic template) to your entire client list. It’s easy to stay in touch and follow-up with clients when done the right way.
- Texting Sevices – Lastly, effectively keeping in touch with an ever mobile client base is essential to automating your massage business. Clients need to stay informed and connected. What better way than their cell phones? (Most people will not leave home without them) With e-mails, websites, virtual phones and online schedulers you are relying on the client to take action in order to receive your communication. They must check their email, browse the internet or call a number. With texting you are able to bring the communication directly to them. No extra steps necessary. Do you need to remind a client of an appointment? Text them. Want to inform them of your referral program? Text them. Need to advertise your Valentine’s Day special? You got it…text them. With free texting services like textmarks.com, you can get the word out to hundreds of clients at once and focus your energies more on providing the best massage experience possible, not chasing down clients.

With a smirk I have to admit I’m beginning to become the Old Fart that I’ve spent my life despising. You know who I’m talking about; the guy/person who says stuff like, “I just don’t understand the things people do these days.”
Well, I don’t.
The other day I was doing my photography and in the midst of a particularly spectacular sunset (as if they’re not all!), in one of the most remote parts of the world, some people came into frame. No sweat. I like people. They tend to add to my pictures, like little speckles of energy that dance on the body of this big ol’ Mama.
And then, sitting down together side-by-side in perfect frame position for a shot of the sun enflaming the ocean just over their heads, they each shook a cell phone out of their respective pockets and dialed in to some moments somewhere else.
One of my life quests has been to learn to be more here, more present in each moment. As if to insult a lifetime of seeking, everywhere I go are people being THERE now! On the street, in their cars, in your driveway, next to you at the restaurant, coming out of the rest room, in the middle of a conversation even! Wherever you go, whatever you do you are surrounded by people whose bodies are in front of you, but their presence is elsewhere.
It’s not like this was new to me. Somehow, though, this one just felt like a brand new insult. Right at the place where you surrender your cares to the richness of the moment– one of the few places where you can actually share your solitude with another human being – lives the Intruder.
When this cell phone thing first started to leave the cities and get more rural I was living in an intentional community in Oregon. It was (a surprisingly eclectic group of) about 30 adults and 8 kids living on 87 acres and running conference and permaculture design centers along with hosting a personal growth workshop and publishing a magazine. We were known as a community that really seeks to work the interpersonal connection angle into the day-to-day (and formidable!) tasks of living as examples of sustainability.
As you may guess, although not on the radical “tree-sitter” side, even the former Navy Intelligence Officers in the community amongst us were clearly oriented toward a value system of relationship over action, presence over distance.
But then, in my fifth year there, more and more “guests” (people coming to a conference and spending the weekend living with us) were shaking out their cell phones and walking around (of course within the confines of “live” spots or whatever they’re called) the property — trails, creeks, meadows — chatting away with the ethers.
Every week we had a business meeting. In one such meeting, where we decide policy and such, barely thinking twice about it, I put a motion up for consensus on setting aside a specific area for people to use their cell phones.
Hell, there was precedent. Years ago the community did the same thing with cigarette smokers. There was one little spot on the property, near the conference center classrooms where one could go to smoke. The truth is, it was a dismal lean-to type shed with one lousy chair and an ugly, open coffee can for butts sitting on the concrete walk. If I had come to that community a smoker, I would have quit out of sheer embarrassment. Since the area was in full view of the paths leading to the center, it always looked quite zoo-ish, the only thing missing being Dunce caps for the less-than 1%ers.
It was my fervent hope that the community would feel that such sequestration would help individuals face themselves much more directly. Hopefully, which seemed to be true for smokers, eventually enough people would feel uncomfortable enough so that word would get out that of course we’re tolerant, but if you smoke or use a cell phone on this chunk of nature, you’re gonna feel like an idiot.
I figured it would be a slam-dunk to get this one through but Boy, was I wrong! No sooner had the words, “I’m sick of seeing the ugly little glowing Bastards everywhere I turn,” come out of my mouth than I noticed three or four hands out of a table of about 18 people reflexively going to some part of their clothing or anatomy to make sure they had their cell phones with them.
It reminded me of when I was a paramedic and walked into a tough-ass bar on the other side of the tracks when we — me and my partner being the only white guys around — would catch little metal glints of knives and guns getting made ready out of the corner of our eyes.
And these were my fellow communitarians. It was then I knew life as I’ve known it is over.
Back to the beach. My first thought was, “What the hell am I gonna do with this shot?” But then I realized, “Crap, they’re all like this!!”
I’ve taken so many Primo-shots of deeply touching Nature with people and cell phones in them that I may as well gear my whole portfolio toward spinning Marlboro Man images into Cellular Phone-promoting spreads and foldouts and brochures and whatevers and at least make some money off the damn photos I end up chucking because this unnatural thing is occurring.
And now, it’s exponentially getting worse because the cell phones take pictures.
On photographic projects on the beach, even as short a time ago as May (2005) I could work with sunset and shoot people celebrating it and not worry once about the result. Today (September) and in any shot with five or more people in it, one of them is pointing their phone either at their ear or at someone else. Some of my pictures look like the stand-off of multiple gunmen in one of (actually, many of!) Quentin Tarantino’s flicks.
How arrogant am I, though!
For being all of that balanced person who I claim to be, here I am negating the experience of other humans for nothing more than my own grasping need to die in a world that is familiar to me.
Probably ten years from now, it will be as common to have people pictures laden with cellular phones as it was to see handkerchiefs in the pockets (suit pockets, no less!) of men on the street in photos taken in the 1950’s.
Why does that sound terrifying to me?
Besides, if I had spent a little more time observing and less time bitching while up on the bluff, I may have found that, indeed, each of these people was beaming out photographs of that joyful sunset to their target callers. How Sweet — sharing this glorious moment with friends in Louisiana under four feet of water!
It’s hard enough to be in a rotten mood and have to listen to that bubbly fool on the other end of any phone. But to be able to get the whole picture of that joy is torturous. The moment becomes a series of thumbscrews bleating, “See how Happy I am? What’s wrong with your miserable existence?”
You’re so damn busy getting annoyed at the callers happiness you can’t even appreciate the beauty that’s around you, that’s the soul that cellphones suck out of you.
What will happen to our anonymity and privacy? “C’mon, Dear, I know you’re miserable but turn on the camera so I can really see!”
No, I will not get a cell-phone. I don’t have to. The last time my motorcycle and I broke down on the road, for instance, I just jumped out in the middle of the highway, spread my fingers with my pinkie pointed to my mouth and my thumb to my ear and within four cars and a near side-swipe, some guy pulled over and let me use his cell phone to call for help.
Like any red-blooded American, of course I reserve the right to be a hypocrite. But still, because I am an American, I shouldn’t have to give up my inalienable right to hide. Places to hide are getting fewer and further between, and that, in the final analysis, is my bitch with cell phones and their spawn.
Now, the privileged drive SUV’s with those systems that put you in touch with Central Command immediately in the event of an emergency. Like if one of the kids in the back seat says “I gotta pee,” next thing you know a voice comes out of the heavens to say, “Just make the next left, go two blocks and turn into the McDonald’s…Oh, and while you’re there, don’t forget to Supersize the fries, the extra salt will help the kids hold their bladders longer, and Mr. Mandel, please don’t run the red light like you did that one three blocks ago.”
Though I have nothing against him personally, when Gary Coleman tells me (in commercials slathered over TV, Internet AND Movies!) “Somebody should” know where I am every minute of my life, I can’t help but wince and prepare for Armegeddon.
I know it starts with people like Gary appearing to me to prepare me for the way life will be. I know the same technology that will let you see and talk to me will let “them” see and listen to me, and frankly, I want no part of it.
Unless, of course, I get stranded.

The e-Marketing Plan – Brief Overview and Working Scheme
I. Summary of a marketing plan
The marketing planning (concretized in the marketing plan) is an essential organizational activity, considering the hostile and complex competitive business environment. Our ability and skills to perform profitable sales are affected by hundreds of internal and external factors that interact in a difficult way to evaluate. A marketing manager must understand and build an image upon these variables and their interactions, and must take rational decisions.
Let us see what do we call a “marketing plan”? It is the result of the planning activity, a document that includes a review of the organization’s place in the market, an analysis of the STEP factors as well as a SWOT analysis. A complete plan would also formulate some presumptions on why we think the past marketing strategy was successful or not. The next phase shall present the objectives we set, together with the strategies to achieve these objectives. In a logical sequence, we will further need to evaluate the results and formulate alternative plans of action. A plan would consist in details of responsibilities, costs, sales prognosis and budgeting issues.
In the end, we should not forget to specify how the plan (or plans) will be controlled, by what means we will measure its results.
We will see how to build the marketing plan, what is its structure: after we will see how to build the traditional marketing plan, we will take a look at the e-marketing plan and see how the unique features of the internet will require some changes in the approach of writing a marketing plan.
But, before we continue, we must understand and accept that steps of the marketing plan are universal. It is a logical approach of the planning activity, no matter where we apply it. The differences you meet from a plan to another consist in the degree of formality accorded to each phase, depending on the size and nature of the organization involved. For example, a small and not diversified company would adopt less formal procedures, because the managers in these cases have more experience and functional knowledge than the subordinates, and they are able to achieve direct control upon most factors. On the other hand, in a company with diversified activity, it is less likely that top managers have functional information in a higher degree than the subordinate managers. Therefore, the planning process must be formulated to ensure a strict discipline for everyone involved in the decisional chain.
II. The general marketing plan
The classical marketing plan would follow the following scheme of 8 stages:
1. Declaring the mission: this is the planning stage when we establish the organizational orientations and intentions, thus providing a sense of direction. In most cases, this is a general presentation of the company’s intentions and almost has a philosophic character.
2. Establishing current objectives: it is essential for the organization to try to determine with preciseness the objectives to be reached. These objectives, in order to be viable, must be SMART. SMART is an acronym and stands for “Specific”, “Measurable”, “Attainable”, “Realistic” and “Timed”. The objectives must also convey the general organizational mission.
3. Gathering information: this stage is based on the concept of marketing audit. After performing the audit of the macro-environment by analyzing the STEP factors (social, technologic, economic and politic), we should turn the focus upon the immediate extern environment (the micro-environment) and analyze the competitive environment, the costs and the market. Finally, we will conclude with the SWOT analysis, by this way we will have a general view upon the internal environment compared to the external one. The SWOT analysis combine the two perspectives, from the inside and from the outside, because the Strengths and the Weaknesses are internal issues of an organization, while the Opportunities and Threads come from the outside.
4. Re-formulating objectives: after the close examination of data gathered in the previous stage, sometimes it is needed to re-formulate the initial objectives, in order to address all the issues that might have come up from the previous stage. The distance between the initial objective and the re-formulated objective will be covered by appropriate strategies. We must ensure the re-formulated objective is SMART as well.
5. Establishing strategies: several strategies are to be formulated, in order to cover the distance between what we want to achieve and what is possible to achieve, with the resources at our disposal. As we would usually have several options, we should analyze them and chose the one with more chances to achieve the marketing objectives.
6. Plan of actions: consists in a very detailed description of the procedures and means to implement the actions we want to take. For example, if the strategy implies a raise in advertising volume, the plan of actions should establish where the advertisements will be placed, the dates and frequency of the advertising campaigns, a set of procedures to evaluate their effectiveness. The actions we plan to take must be clearly formulated, measurable, and the results must be monitored and evaluated.
7. Implementation and control: consist in the series of activities that must be performed in order to run the marketing plan in accordance to the objectives set by the marketer. At this stage, it is critical to gain the support of all members if the organization, especially when the marketing plan is due to affect the organization from its grounds.
8. Performance measurement: constitutes the last but not the less important stage of the marketing plan, since we can achieve only what we can measure. In order to measure the performances achieved through the marketing plan, we need to constantly monitor each previous stage of the plan.
The marketing plan that has a feedback cycle, from 8th stage back to the 4th. That is because sometimes during the planning process, we might need to perform stages 4 to 8 several times before the final plan can be written.
III. The e-marketing plan
The e-marketing plan is built exactly on the same principles as the classical plan. There is no different approach, but there might be some formal differences given by the uniqueness of the internet environment. Many of these differences come from the necessity to ensure a high rate of responsiveness from the customers, since the e-world is moving faster and requires faster reaction from its companies, compared to the traditional offline marketplace.
Even though it is perfectly acceptable and is a common practice to use the 8-stage classic model for the e-marketing plan as well, you might want to consider the simplified version proposed by Chaffey, who identifies four major steps to build the e-marketing plan:
1. Strategic analysis: consists in continuous scanning of the macro- and micro-environment. The accent should fall on the consumers’ needs that change very rapidly in the online market, as well as on surveying the competitors’ actions and evaluating the opportunities offered by new technologies.
2. Defining strategic objectives: the organization must have a clear vision and establish if the media channels will complement the traditional ones, or will replace them. We must define specific objectives (don’t forget to check if they are SMART!) and we must also specify the contribution of the online activities to the organization’s turnover.
3. Formulating strategies – we do that by addressing the following essential issues:
– develop strategies towards the target markets;
– positioning and differentiating strategies;
– establish priorities of online activities;
– focus attention and efforts on CRM and financial control;
– formulate strategies for product development;
– develop business models with well-established strategies for new products or services, as well as pricing policies;
– necessity for some organizational restructuring;
– changes in the structure of communication channels.
4. Implementing strategies: includes careful execution of all necessary steps to achieve established objectives. It could refer re-launching of a website, promo campaigns for a new or rewritten site, monitoring website efficiency and many more.
Note: a common strategy to achieve e-marketing objectives is the communication strategy. The steps to built a coherent communication plan will be presented within a further article.

NORTH CAROLINA (STACKER) – Admiring and envying the world’s biggest stars is easy to do on Instagram.
From A-list movie stars and major musicians to pro ball players and comedians who landed their own sitcoms, there’s no shortage of evidence of just how good the good life is. They post pictures of themselves with other big shots on rooftop bars, at exclusive clubs, at backstage parties, and at restaurants where regular people can’t get a reservation.
But the vast majority of these celebrities were born and raised outside of Hollywood, finding their way to the bright lights and big money of superstardom from obscure beginnings in regular small towns or cities across the country.
Stacker compiled a list of actors that were born in North Carolina from IMDb’s most popular list. For each actor, we included a movie poster image from a film he is known for (all movie poster images from OMDb). Keep reading to see which favorite actors are from your home state.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Charlotte Hornets will have to begin their search again for a head coach because Kenny Atkinson changed his mind and will stay with the NBA champion Warriors after all.
Two people with direct knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Saturday that Atkinson will remain with Golden State as an assistant coach and won’t become the new coach of the Hornets.
Both spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because neither Atkinson nor the Hornets revealed any details of the talks or agreement publicly. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said he wouldn’t discuss it until the Hornets announced Atkinson’s hiring.
The move comes more than a week after Atkinson had agreed to a four-year contract. But the contract was never signed, one of the people said.
ESPN first reported that Atkinson had decided not to take the Charlotte job. His decision means Charlotte joins Utah as the lone NBA teams without coaches in place.
The Hornets have three picks, including two in the top 15, of Thursday’s draft and Charlotte may have to make the No. 13, No. 15 and No. 45 selections without a coach in place.
Golden State’s players had exit interviews Saturday ahead of the championship parade Monday, and were thrilled Atkinson had decided to help the Warriors try to chase another championship after Thursday’s Game 6 clincher at Boston.
“That means a lot,” forward Andrew Wiggins said. “He gave up a head coaching job to come back.”
Atkinson was 118-190 in three-plus seasons as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets when that franchise was undergoing a rebuilding process. He has spent the last two seasons as an assistant, first for the Los Angeles Clippers and now the Warriors.
“We knew the amazing job Kenny did when he was in Brooklyn. That doesn’t get talked about enough,” Golden State guard Jordan Poole said. “For him to be able to bring all of the knowledge and the insight and the positive emotion and militaristic drive that he has, to already add that to a winning culture is amazing. And we got a ring because of that. … He obviously is extremely invested and believes we can do it again. You want guys like that and people like that.”
The Hornets never announced Atkinson had been hired, presumably because the contract was not signed and because the Warriors were still playing. Another Golden State assistant — Mike Brown — is leaving to become head coach in Sacramento.
The Hornets had talked to several other candidates in their search to replace James Borrego, who was fired in April at the end of his fourth season.
Darvin Ham, Mike D’Antoni and Terry Stotts were known to be on Charlotte’s radar. Ham was hired as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. It’s unclear whether D’Antoni or Stotts would still be interested in Charlotte, or whether the Hornets intend to approach either again.

Kenny Atkinson’s tenure as coach of the Charlotte Hornets is over before it started.
A person with direct knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Saturday that Atkinson, citing family matters, has reversed course and will not take over as coach of the Hornets.
The move comes more than a week after the Golden State assistant had agreed to a four-year contract. But the contract was never signed, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because neither Atkinson nor the Hornets revealed any details of the talks or agreement publicly.
ESPN first reported that Atkinson had decided not to take the Charlotte job.
The Hornets having to reopen their search is not ideal for a multitude of reasons. Among those is the fact that they have three picks, including two in the top 15, of Thursday’s draft. Charlotte may have to make the No. 13, No. 15 and No. 45 selections without a coach in place.
The Hornets had talked to several other candidates in their search to replace James Borrego, who was fired in April at the end of his fourth season. Darvin Ham, Mike D’Antoni and Terry Stotts were known to be on Charlotte’s radar.
ESPN Sources: Kenny Atkinson has decided he won’t become the Charlotte Hornets’ head coach and will remain with Golden State as top assistant. After being offered job during the NBA Finals, further conversations led Atkinson to believe it would be best to remain with Warriors.

Ham was hired as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. It’s unclear whether D’Antoni or Stotts would still be interested in Charlotte, or whether the Hornets intend to approach either again.
Atkinson’s decision came two days after the Warriors won the NBA championship. One Golden State assistant — Mike Brown — is leaving to become head coach in Sacramento.
The Hornets never announced Atkinson had been hired, presumably because the contract was not signed and because the Warriors were still playing. Golden State coach Steve Kerr also wouldn’t talk about Atkinson’s looming move in recent days, only saying that he wouldn’t until the hiring became official.
Atkinson was 118-190 in three-plus seasons as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets when that franchise was undergoing a rebuilding process. He has spent the last two seasons as an assistant, first for the Los Angeles Clippers and now the Warriors.

San Antonio Symphony to dissolve after board, union fail to strike labor deal
SAN ANTONIO, Texas - The San Antonio Symphony will soon be no more after a unanimous vote from its board of directors.
The board announced the dissolution June 16 and said it will file for chapter 7 bankruptcy.
"The assets of the symphony now lie in the hands of a trustee who will liquidate them, pay what creditors remains, and close the doors," the board said in a statement on its website.
The decision comes on the heels of an ongoing strike from symphony musicians that began in September 2021 after an impasse was declared in contract negotiations between the symphony and the musicians union.
Both sides struggled to strike a deal that offers competitive wages while also addressing the symphony’s financial struggles that have persisted for years.
"While its very sad that such a proud organization with such a long history has ended in this way, the intent of the founders of the Symphony Society of San Antonio will be carried forward by the musicians," Mary Ellen Goree, the musicians’ negotiating committee chair, said.
The San Antonio Symphony has been around since 1939. | https://www.fox7austin.com/news/san-antonio-symphony-dissolve-labor-deal | 2022-06-18T22:31:59Z | https://www.fox7austin.com/news/san-antonio-symphony-dissolve-labor-deal | true | 1 |

He reportedly said he will double the number of tokens, including Bitcoin Bitcoin / US Dollar And the Ethereum ETH / USDas well as several Web3 projects.

Azimio la Umoja coalition presidential candidate Raila Odinga and his running mate Martha Karua took their vote hunt to Meru yesterday as they escalated plans to lock the vote-rich region.
Meru has over 800,000 votes at stake.
Raila was accompanied by Wiper leaders Kalonzo Musyoka, Senators Enock Wambua and Mutula Kilonzo Jnr, Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya and East Africa Legislative Assembly MP Mpuru Aburi.
Others were MPs Junet Mohamed, Babu Owino and Cotu Secretary General Francis Atwoli.
Raila and his team landed at Aburi’s home near Mikinduri before leaving for their first rally in Mikinduri town where he pledged to complete roads, water and other projects that had stalled in Tigania East Sub-county.
Aburi listed several tarmac roads and St Angela University projects that had been delayed.
Munya said the dam project that was to assist residents in the semi-arid region had stalled but asked residents to vote for Raila to see it was completed.
The ODM boss reminded residents that he built the Meru-Mikinduri-Maua road when he served as Roads minister.
“I am here to preach the gospel of transformation. If we beat poverty, disease and illiteracy, we will be winners,” Raila said.
Raila reiterated his pledge of providing free education up to university level and providing accessible, reliable and affordable healthcare for all Kenyans.
“From next year, there will be no more school fees to enable all children to get an education,” he said.
He said he will provide employment opportunities to teachers who have no work by September “so that our children can get a good education and gainful employment to help to help themselves and their children, not to push wheelbarrows”.
A digital generation cannot push wheelbarrows, he said as he urged the people to vote for him.
Karua said Raila’s record as a development-conscious leader was known and he was trustworthy.
“We know his record, Raila is the remedy for roads and other infrastructure projects. We want nearly all Mt Kenya votes for the country to move forward,” Karua said.
She said in Munya, the interests of the region in terms of development of agriculture and business were assured.
She said: “When you see Kalonzo and all these leaders whose record is known, the best interests of Kenyans are safe.”
Munya said they were confident Raila would complete the projects that had stalled, which he blamed on misappropriation of funds.
The leaders then trooped to Kinoru stadium, where Raila urged Meru residents to elect him and be part of the third liberation. | https://kenyannews.co.ke/news/raila-odinga-pledges-to-revive-key-projects-in-meru/ | 2022-06-18T23:11:34Z | https://kenyannews.co.ke/news/raila-odinga-pledges-to-revive-key-projects-in-meru/ | false | 1 |
TUCSON (KVOA) - The Contreras Fire, burning 20 miles east of Sells has grown to 17,646 acres. Four buildings at Kitt Peak National Observatory have burned, but all scientific facilities have been spared so far.
The wildfire was sparked by lightning one week ago. While rain and cooler temperatures are expected to help fire crews on the ground Saturday, wind and lightning could hamper firefighting efforts from the air.
Flames reached Kitt Peak National Observatory on Friday morning. It's believed all domes and telescopes have been protected. Although four non-scientific building have burned.
Lori Allen, director at Kitt Peak Observatory is hoping the worst has passed.
"This particular fire has been full of surprises and it could continue to surprise us," said Allen. "The fire moved through very quickly, most of the structures that house telescopes are metal structures and so we're hoping for the best. We don't have all the details yet of how much damage the fire did as it swept through."
More than 300 fire personnel are working the blaze, battling three foot tall grass in some spots, fuel for the flames. Officials warn that the mountain is at risk for another week. The community of Pan Tak has been evacuated as a precaution.
The University of Arizona manages some astronomy facilities at the observatory.
In an email statement, President Robin Robbins said, "We are grateful to all who are working to fight the fire and help protect the facilities while keeping everyone safe. We are also proud of our staff who did their best to prepare our facilities before they were ordered to leave the mountain on Wednesday."
Power to Kitt Peak National Observatory has been shut off to prevent any accidental sparks. State Route 386 remains closed. | https://www.kvoa.com/news/contreras-fire-grows-to-17-646-acres-zero-containment/article_1f6d6bb8-ef4e-11ec-ad2e-efcfb9c667cf.html | 2022-06-18T23:14:22Z | https://www.kvoa.com/news/contreras-fire-grows-to-17-646-acres-zero-containment/article_1f6d6bb8-ef4e-11ec-ad2e-efcfb9c667cf.html | true | 1 |
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — In celebration of Juneteenth, Mayor Malik Evans and Senator Jeremy Cooney were in attendance of a poetry slam at the Highland Bowl.
Participants of the event were different members of the black and brown community.
Jamayne Fleming, a member of the Monroe County Family Voice, said Juneteenth is an exciting holiday.
“Juneteenth means a lot because years ago we didn’t have these opportunities and privileges — like there wasn’t a family voice for someone like me back in the day,” said Fleming. “So Juneteenth — it’s just inspiring that someone of the black and brown community can be in charge of a program like this.”
Monroe County Family Voice is a group that offers resources to parents to address issues in their communities and to allow them to share their experiences with people in similar situations. | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/juneteenth-poetry-slam-held-at-highland-bowl/ | 2022-06-18T23:37:37Z | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/juneteenth-poetry-slam-held-at-highland-bowl/ | false | null |
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Connor Noland allowed one run over 7 2/3 efficient innings, Chris Lanzilli hit a tiebreaking three-run homer and Arkansas beat No. 2 national seed Stanford 17-2 on Saturday in the most-lopsided College World Series game in 34 years.
The Razorbacks knocked out Pac-12 pitcher of the year Alex Williams in the fifth inning and went on to log their biggest margin of victory in 36 CWS games. It was Stanford’s biggest loss in their 73 CWS games.
“I thought we played just a fantastic game,” Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said. “Started on the mound with pitching. Outstanding. A lot of strikes. Defense behind him was outstanding as well. And offensively swung the bat extremely well up and down the lineup. Got production 1 through 9.”
The Razorbacks (44-19) will play Monday against the winner of the Saturday night game between Auburn and Mississippi. Stanford (47-17) will play the loser in an elimination game.
Arkansas scored 11 runs in the last three innings and finished with a season-high 21 hits, including Cayden Wallace’s 30th career homer in the ninth.
“That’s not what you want the country to see. We haven’t been that team,” Stanford coach David Esquer said. “You can’t let (the players) worry about that or feel like that’s their defining moment of the season. It’s just one of those that you’ve got to flush.”
Noland (8-5) surrendered a homer to Stanford leadoff man Brock Jones on his third pitch, but with the help of a defense that turned double plays to get him out of two jams, Stanford didn’t score again until Carter Graham greeted reliever Kole Ramage with a base hit in the eighth.
Noland threw only 79 pitches on a hot, humid afternoon when the feels-like temperature reached 106 degrees. He induced 11 groundball outs and seven flyouts, and his only strikeout came in the sixth inning. Other than Jones’ homer, all the Cardinal mustered against him were five singles and a walk.
“I knew they were going to swing the bat. They’re an aggressive team, they like to put the ball in play,” Noland said. “We had the wind blowing in. I get a lot of ground balls normally. I just stuck to the plan. I let the defense work behind me.”
Razorbacks fans rose and gave Noland an ovation, many of them “Calling the Hogs,” as he hugged teammates and walked from the mound to the dugout.
“Our offense did a good job of putting the ball in play and testing their defense,” Jones said. “They had really good defense today, and he was able to pound the zone.”
Williams (8-4) struggled for a third straight start in the NCAA Tournament. He gave up a triple to Braydon Webb on the game’s first pitch, hit a batter and issued a walk but got out of the inning down only 1-0.
Williams settled down the next three innings, then gave up back-to-back singles in the fifth before Lanzilli hammered a changeup a dozen rows into the left-center seats to make it 4-1.
“To play on this stage is really why I came here,” said Lanzilli, who transferred from Wake Forest. “And to do something like that is awesome, and to win the game is even better. I just want to keep it rolling.”
When Robert Moore followed with a base hit, the day was over for Williams, who has allowed 16 runs in his last 10 1/3 innings (13.94 ERA).
The Razorbacks, who managed only three hits in a 5-0 loss to Stanford in February, went on to hand the Cardinal the worst loss in a CWS since Arizona State hammered Wichita State 19-1 in 1988.
It was Arkansas’ first win over the Cardinal since the 1985 CWS.
“Today’s score got out of hand,” Van Horn said. “And I think coach Esquer was — he didn’t want to say it — but he threw some guys they wouldn’t normally pitch. Those last three innings we scored 10, 11 runs. You can take those off the board a little bit. He’s trying to get through this where we may play again.”
Stanford is in a familiar position after having to win three elimination games in regionals and two in super regionals to advance.
“We’ve been playing with our backs up against the wall for some time now,” Esquer said. “Seems like we’ve played our best when that’s the case.”

SEATTLE — Christian Arango scored the equalizer for LAFC in a 1-1 draw with the Seattle Sounders on Saturday at Lumen Field.
Arango’s game-tying goal came in the 79th minute for Western Conference-leading LAFC (9-3-3, 30 points). On the run, he pushed a header to the upper-left corner of the net past the reach of Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei.
Albert Rusnak scored for the Sounders (6-6-2, 20 points) in the 58th minute after intercepting a pass from LAFC goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau.
The Sounders outshot LAFC 12-9, with five shots on goal to seven for LAFC.
Frei saved six of the seven shots he faced for the Sounders, including a remarkable double-save in the 63rd minute. Crepeau made four saves for LAFC.
Still with the best record in MLS, LAFC will next host the New York Red Bulls on June 26. | https://www.presstelegram.com/2022/06/18/lafc-at-seattle-noon/ | 2022-06-18T23:39:20Z | https://www.presstelegram.com/2022/06/18/lafc-at-seattle-noon/ | true | null |

Aaron Hicks drove in three runs with a double and the New York Yankees held on for a 4-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.
Jameson Taillon (8-1) pitched 5 ⅔ scoreless innings for the Yankees (49-16) with four hits, two walks, and eight strikeouts.
Michael King and Clay Holmes came on in relief to complete the shutout.
Alek Manoah (8-2) struck out five but gave up four runs on six hits and a walk over 5 ⅓ innings for Toronto (37-28).
As Blue Jays skipper, Charlie Montoyo knows family time is limited, so he savours it
David Phelps, Tim Mayza, and Trent Thornton came out of the Blue Jays bullpen.
The Blue Jays have lost three straight, with the Tampa Bay Rays closing in on them for second in the American League East.
New York leads the division by 12 games with Saturday’s win.
Hicks hit his bases-clearing double in the fourth inning.
Manoah loaded the bases and, with two outs, Hicks stroked the ball to right field to cash in Anthony Rizzo, Gleyber Torres, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa.
In the next at bat, Jose Trevino attempted to check his swing but was hit by the pitch.
Manoah and Toronto manager Charlie Montoyo argued with the umpires, saying that Trevino did not check his swing and should have been called out rather than taking first.
Montoyo was ejected from the game after getting into it with home plate umpire Ryan Additon and first base ump Ryan Wills.
Toronto left-fielder Raimel Tapia appeared to catch a Torres fly ball at the wall in the sixth inning.
Upon video review, it was ruled that the ball popped out of Tapia’s glove and bounced off the fence before he regained control, which gave the Yankees infielder a double.
That misplay came back to haunt the Blue Jays, as Kiner-Falefa doubled to bring home Torres for a 4-0 Yankees lead.
Manoah’s outing ended after that run, with his earned-run average on the season rising to 2.00. | https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/baseball/article-new-york-yankees-blue-jays/ | 2022-06-18T23:47:44Z | https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/baseball/article-new-york-yankees-blue-jays/ | true | 1 |
