BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Brazil’s federal police said Saturday that a third suspect in the deaths of British journalist Dom Phillips and Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira has been arrested. The pair, whose remains were found after they went missing almost two weeks ago, were shot to death, according to an autopsy.
Phillips was shot in the chest and Pereira was shot in the head and the abdomen, police said in a statement. It said the autopsy indicated the use of a “firearm with typical hunting ammunition.”
Police said the third suspect, Jefferson da Silva Lima, known as Pelado da Dinha, turned himself at the police station in Atalaia do Norte in the Amazon.
Police said the suspect will be referred to a custody hearing.
Two other men are already in prison for alleged involvement in the killings: Amarildo Oliveira, known as Pelado, and his brother, Oseney de Oliveira, known as Dos Santos.
Phillips and Pereira were last seen June 5 on their boat on the Itaquai river, near the entrance of the Javari Valley Indigenous Territory, which borders Peru and Colombia.
On Friday, federal police said that human remains found in Brazil’s remote Amazon have been identified as belonging to Phillips, 57.
Additional remains found at the site near the city of Atalaia do Norte were confirmed to belong to Indigenous expert Pereira, 41, according to the police statement on Saturday.
The remains were found on Wednesday, after fisherman Pelado confessed to killing the pair, and took police to the place where he would have buried the bodies. He told officers that he used a firearm to commit the crime.
The remains had arrived in the capital city of Brasilia on Thursday for forensic examinations.
The area where Phillips and Pereira went missing has seen violent conflicts between fishermen, poachers, and government agents.

Data: Roadway fatalities and unlicensed drivers
Lake George N.Y. ( News10 )-Recent data finds unlicensed, suspended and revoked motorists are involved in about 20% of fatalities on U.S. roadways. The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles tell News10 that the motorcyclist involved in a fatal crash that killed a man and an 8-year-old boy never had a valid New York State license.
At the crash scene, flowers, stuffed animals and heartfelt messages now make up the growing memorial for 8-year-old Quinton Delgadillo and the man who was to become his stepfather, 38-year-old James “Jamie” Persons.
Police say the Lake George residents were killed when a speeding motorcyclist lost control on route 9 striking them and Quinton’s mother Jasmine Luellen, who was injured but in stable condition.
The alleged motorcyclist, 33-year old Anthony Futia remains in critical condition.
Delving into Futia’s past, News10 has reported how the Albany man did not have New York State driver’s license. The Department of Motor vehicles says Futia never had a valid license in New York and could not legally drive a car or a motorcycle.
In New York, you must have a motorcycle, or “M” endorsement on your license. Or, possess an “M” permit. But if you only have the “M” permit you must ride with someone who has a valid “M” endorsement on their own license. The DMV also told News10 that Futia also had multiple suspensions on his record including in 2019 when he was charged with driving while impaired.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System’s latest data from 2020-
6.2-percent of drivers in fatal crashes in the United States were unlicensed.
7.6-percent had suspended or revoked licenses
2.0- had suspended/cancelled/denied licenses
And 5.3-percent had a license status could not be determined. Based on research, most if not all of these drivers were found to be driving outside the bounds of the law.
Added up they account for 21.1-percent of vehicle operators involved in fatal crashes.
Still unknown, is how the alleged motorcyclist in the Lake George crash ever got his hands on any kind of vehicle.
New York State Police are asking anyone who witnessed the crash to please give them a call.

Tech
A bipartisan technology antitrust bill could soon be passed. That’s still a bad idea.
There is growing concern among both left and right politicians to take control of “Big Tech.” There are various specific complaints, but there is a general agreement that very large tech companies such as Apple, Alphabet (owning Google), Meta (owning Facebook), and Amazon simply use too much power.
One bill, the American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA), aims to make “certain discriminatory acts” illegal when implemented by a technology platform. The bill, sponsored by Senator Amy Klobuchar (DMinn.) And a group of bipartisan senators, has been around since last year, but Reuters expects the bill to pass soon.
Unfortunately, the bill contains serious flaws that undermine the entire mission statement.
As drafted, AICOA aims to prevent technology companies from giving priority to promoting their products and services to users because they can “has significant damage to competition.” For example, if this prevents Google from displaying Google Maps in search results and you want to know directions to the specific location you just searched for, you need to take further steps. Apple may be banned from pre-installing FaceTime or iMessage on the iPhone, or may be told to open the App Store to competitors.
Amazon, in particular, is strongly opposed to the bill. Earlier this month, Amazon’s vice president of public policy, Brian Huseman, wrote that he felt the company was selected as “the only retailer subject to the bill.” Indeed, the bill is so narrow that it covers only a handful of companies. Huseman said the bill was ” [Amazon] “Prime” by prohibiting the company from offering one or two days of free shipping without allowing “other logistics providers” to process these orders. In addition, Huseman claims that the bill could “endanger the market” by imposing usage restrictions on Amazon, which does not apply to “other retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target, etc.” Customer data List of. According to Huseman, the “real, unstated goal of the law” is to “hurt” Amazon.
In response, Bill Bear of the nonpartisan Brookings Institution wrote that the bill “has more subtle nuances (and is therefore more complex).” Baer says AICOA should first convince federal district courts that it may have meaningful anti-competitive effects, rather than banning certain actions. I am doing it. In addition, Amazon or other Covered Services have “opportunities to affirmative defense,” such as “actions necessary to prevent legal violations, protect user safety and privacy, or maintain or strengthen our core.” .. Platform feasibility “or”[had] It does not do any significant harm to the competition, nor does it do so. “
But that’s little comfort. Currently, Amazon only persuades consumers to buy their products, but under AICOA, it needs to further convince judges that the methods and practices are not sufficiently anti-competitive. In addition, the penalty for a breach is “less than 15 percent” of your total income during the “period in which the breach occurred”. Baer admits that “the greatest civil punishment is severe,” but shakes it off by saying, “In our federal judicial system … the greatest punishment is rarely imposed.”
This week, four Democratic senators sent Klobuchar a letter detailing their concerns about AICOA. They are worried that the bill would make it illegal to “discriminate in the application or enforcement of the Terms of Service in a way that would cause significant damage to competition.” This “endangers current content moderation practices” by stopping the platform from moderating content. In fact, Apple’s App Store, which is the subject of the bill, now requires app makers to filter out “offensive content.”
Writing in WIRED, Gilad Edelman found this argument “weak”. However, it should be noted that for some lawmakers this is their clear intention. During the bill’s markup session, Senator Ted Cruz (RTexas) said the technology platform should be responsible for content moderation decisions, “I’m very happy to release the lawyer in the trial.” Told.
On Tuesday, Klobshire tweeted, “Because it’s a PRO-business, companies support our bill,” linking to a news article citing “dozens” of companies and organizations. Meanwhile, the US Chamber of Commerce and the Chambers of Commerce in 46 states announced on Wednesday that they would oppose the bill. The Chamber of Commerce said the bill “shifts the focus of antitrust law from promoting competition to protecting competitors from competition” and “allows other companies to freely engage in exactly the same acts, while some It will punish companies for fierce competition. “
“In the future, the federal government will decide whether companies can offer innovation, low prices, or free shipping and other services, or whether such fierce competition is unfair.”

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Brandon Crawford tied the game with an RBI single in the sixth and provided some breathing room with an RBI double in the ninth as the San Francisco Giants rallied past the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-5 on Saturday.
Wilmer Flores and Austin Slater homered for the Giants, who have won seven of eight and 13 of 19 to move to 10 games over .500 (37-27) for the first time this season.
Luis González added two hits for San Francisco, including an RBI double in the eighth as the Giants pounced on a shaky performance by Pittsburgh's bullpen, which allowed four runs after starter Jose Quintana's exit with one out in the sixth.
Alex Wood (5-5) surrendered a three-run homer to Pittsburgh's Diego Castillo in the fourth but hung around long enough to win his second straight start. Wood allowed four runs on six hits with two walks and four strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings.
San Francisco reliever Jake McGee got Pittsburgh's Tyler Heineman to pop out to first with the bases loaded to end the eighth after a nine-pitch at-bat to preserve a one-run lead. Camilo Doval retired the Pirates in order for his 11th save and second in two days.
Quintana allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings before being lifted for Wil Crowe (3-4) after striking out González to start the sixth. Crowe allowed each of his first four batters to reach on two walks and two singles. Crawford's liner up the middle scored Thairo Estrada to pull San Francisco even, and pinch-hitter Mike Yaztremski followed with a sacrifice fly to put the Giants in front.
Stratton came on in the eighth and walked the first two batters he faced before giving up a shot to González that scored Darin Ruf as the Giants clinched their first series win against the Pirates since 2017.
Ke'Bryan Hayes had two hits for Pittsburgh and Castillo drove in four runs — tied for the most by a Pirate this season — but it wasn't enough as their June swoon dropped them to a season-worst 14 games below .500 (25-39).
PEGUERO ARRIVES
Pittsburgh shortstop prospect Liover Peguero went 1 for 3 in his major league debut. At 21 years and 170 days old, Pegeuro — called up from Double-A Altoona on Friday after infielder Tucupita Maracana was placed on the COVID-19 injured list — became the youngest Pirate to reach the majors since Aramis Ramirez, who was 19 years and 335 days old at the time of his debut on May 26, 1998.
BAILEY TOSSED
San Francisco pitching coach Andrew Bailey was ejected in the fifth by first base umpire Jim Reynolds. It's the second time this season that a Giants coach has been tossed. First-base coach Antoan Richardson was ejected for arguing on April 12.
MERCEDES CLAIMED
The Giants claimed catcher/first baseman Yermín Mercedes off waivers from the Chicago White Sox and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento. To make room for Mercedes on the 40-man roster, San Francisco designated catcher Michael Papierski for assignment.
The 27-year-old Mercedes hit .271 for the White Sox in 2021 but underwent hand surgery in March and has spent all of this season at Triple-A before being designated for assignment last weekend.
Papierski, acquired in a trade with Houston last month, went hitless in nine at-bats with the Giants.
UP NEXT
Giants: Alex Cobb (3-2, 5.73 ERA) returns from a stint on the injured list with a strained neck to make his ninth start of the season in Sunday's series finale.
Pirates: Mitch Keller (2-5, 5.07) is 0-2 in his career against the Giants. Keller has pitched well of late, posting a 2.76 ERA over his last three starts following a brief stint in the bullpen.

HOUSTON (AP) — Johnny Cueto and Reynaldo López combined for a three-hitter and Luis Robert tied a career-high with four RBIs as the Chicago White Sox jumped on Justin Verlander early and cruised to a 7-0 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday.
Cueto (1-3) allowed two hits and struck out five in a season-high seven innings to get his first win since July 29 with San Francisco.
“Johnny set the tempo," manager Tony La Russa said. “He’s an artist out there ... that’s just high, high major league pitching."
Robert tied a season best with three hits and José Abreu drove in two runs as the White Sox built a 7-0 lead after four innings to get their fourth win in five games.
Cueto allowed a leadoff single to Jose Altuve and walked a batter in the fourth and sixth innings.
But Houston didn’t get another hit until Alex Bregman singled with no outs in the seventh. He was erased when Yordan Alvarez grounded into a double play before Cueto retired Kyle Tucker to end his day.
Houston manager Dusty Baker, who managed Cueto in Cincinnati, raved about the right-hander.
“When he’s on with his stuff, he’s as tough as anybody," Baker said. “He knows how to pitch."
López yielded one hit in two scoreless innings to complete the shutout.
Verlander (8-3) entered the day tied for the MLB lead with eight wins, but had a rare sub-par start in what has been a splendid season in his return after missing almost two years after Tommy John surgery.
He allowed nine hits and seven runs — four earned — in a season-low 3 2/3 innings to snap a two-game winning streak.
“Those hitters at this level are really good, too," Verlander said. “So I think this might just be a situation where you give credit where credit is due."
Houston’s tough day at the plate came a day after the team scored 10 runs in the sixth inning to tie a season high with 13 runs in a win in the series opener.
La Russa was impressed with the way his team bounced back after Friday's loss.
“It’s a very resilient, tough minded, tough heart, tough guts club," he said. “We hung in there. That’s why they have my total respect and admiration. That’s an example today. We put that game behind us."
Seby Zavala singled to open Chicago’s third and Danny Mendick singled with one out. The White Sox loaded the bases on a single by Andrew Vaughn before Robert’s single on a liner to right field scored two to make it 2-0.
Abreu then hit a double to left field to send two more home and extend the lead to 4-0.
A single by Josh Harrison got things going for Chicago in the fourth and Adam Engel singled with one out. Altuve then let Vaughn’s grounder to second roll through his legs, and Robert hit a two-run double that chased Verlander. He was replaced by Phil Maton and he retired Abreu to end the inning.
TRAINER’S ROOM
White Sox: 3B Yoán Moncada was out of the lineup after leaving in the third inning Friday night with tightness in his left hamstring. La Russa said Moncada was having an MRI Saturday.
Astros: Baker said Alvarez suffered an undisclosed injury on his final swing in the seventh inning and that he was being evaluated. ... SS Aledmys Díaz left the game after five innings with discomfort in his left shoulder. ... RHP Jake Odorizzi, who has been out since May 16 with a left leg injury, threw 35 pitches off the mound before the game. Odorizzi said he felt good and could begin a rehabilitation assignment soon.
CLIMBING THE CHARTS
Verlander had three strikeouts to give him 3,094 in his career, moving him past CC Sabathia (3,093) for 16th on the all-time list.
UP NEXT
White Sox RHP Michael Kopech (2-2, 1.92) opposes Cristian Javier (3-3, 3.20) in the series finale Sunday. Kopech returns after leaving his last start Sunday in the first inning with discomfort in his right knee.

Justice Dept.: 2 men charged with hate crime in violent attack while shouting racial slurs
OCALA, Fla. (Gray News) - A federal grand jury in Florida has charged two men with committing a hate crime.
The Justice Department reports the indictment charging Roy Lashley, 55, and Robert Lashley, 52, was unsealed on Friday following the arrest of Robert Lashley.
The indictment alleges that in November of 2021, the defendants caused bodily injury to a man because of his actual and perceived race.
According to the indictment, the defendants repeatedly called the man racial slurs and struck him with closed fists and an ax handle.
The DOJ says the defendants each face a maximum term of 10 years imprisonment, three years of mandatory supervised release and a $250,000 fine if convicted.
The FBI and the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office investigated the incident.
Officials said trial attorneys Maura White and Matthew Tannenbaum of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert E. Bodnar Jr. for the Middle District of Florida are prosecuting the case.

Johnny Cueto twirled a season-best seven shutout innings while Andrew Vaughn and Luis Robert recorded three-hit games as the visiting Chicago White Sox cruised to a 7-0 victory over the Houston Astros on Saturday.
Cueto (1-3) worked a combined 12 scoreless innings over his first two starts with Chicago after May 16. In four subsequent appearances, he posted a 5.32 ERA while surrendering a .785 opponent OPS and almost as many runs (15) as strikeouts (16) over 23 2/3 innings.
He reclaimed his mid-May form against the Astros on Saturday.
After allowing a leadoff single to Jose Altuve in the first, Cueto induced Michael Brantley to line into a double play before retiring the ensuing nine batters. He worked around a two-out walk to Alex Bregman in the fourth inning and did not allow another baserunner until Martin Maldonado walked with one out in the bottom of the sixth.
Bregman notched the second hit off Cueto leading off the seventh, but Cueto immediately induced a double-play grounder off the bat of Yordan Alvarez before capping his outing by getting Kyle Tucker to fly out to center.
Cueto allowed two hits and two walks, with five strikeouts.
Robert was instrumental in the ambush of Astros right-hander Justin Verlander (8-3).
His two-run, opposite-field single to right field drove home Seby Zavala and Danny Mendick, providing the White Sox a 2-0 lead with one out in the third. Robert scored behind Vaughn when Jose Abreu added a two-run double that extended the White Sox advantage to 4-0.
An inning later, Robert (3-for-5, four RBIs) chased Verlander with a two-run double that plated Adam Engel and Vaughn (3-for-5), who reached on a critical two-out fielding error by Altuve that allowed Josh Harrison to score for a 5-0 lead.
While compiling seven runs in the third and fourth innings, the White Sox recorded five hits to the opposite field.
Verlander allowed a season-high seven runs (four earned) on nine hits while recording three strikeouts over 3 2/3 innings.

Hsinchu City firefighters are overburdened with tasks outside their purview, New Power Party (NPP) Legislator Chiu Hsien-chih (邱顯智) said on Thursday, urging the Hsinchu City Government to review practices at its fire department.
Chiu made the remark at a news conference he convened with NPP Hsinchu City councilors Tsai Hui-ting (蔡惠婷), Liao Tzu-chi (廖子齊) and Lin Yen-fu (林彥甫), and Fire Fighter Work Rights Promotion Association deputy chairman Cheng Shao-shu (鄭少書) at the Legislative Yuan in Taipei.
Lin said the Hsinchu Fire Department and other city government agencies had dispatched firefighters to sweep sand in Nanliao Township (南寮), with the work filmed by one of them and later leaked to the media.
Photo: Liao Hsueh-ju, Taipei Times
As the city is increasingly outsourcing tasks such as catching bees and snakes, rescuing animals, and cleaning roads to contractors, dispatching firefighters for such tasks should stop, Lin said.
The councilors recently received reports of firefighters being dispatched to help people with excess moisture in their homes, Lin said.
Liao said that the city’s firefighters had since January been dispatched to help the public 3,128 times, including 1,945 times to remove beehives or capture snakes.
They were dispatched 1,091 times to pick locks, break doors, or rescue pet dogs or cats, Liao said, adding that none of those activities are legally defined as the tasks of a fire department.
Liao urged Hsinchu Mayor Lin Chih-chien (林智堅) to allow firefighters to focus on their job and not use them for frivolous activities.
Tsai said firefighters must react quickly to emergencies, and should devote their time to preventing and combating fires, and helping those in need due to a disaster.
The Hsinchu City Government is mismanaging its fire department, Tsai said.
Being busy with other tasks, the city’s firefighters might not be able to appropriately respond to a fire, Tsai said, adding that this might lead to tragedy and loss of life.
Cheng, a serving firefighter, said that the Taoyuan City Government only enacted changes after 12 firefighters had died.
However, the Hsinchu mayor should adopt the same mindset as Taoyuan Mayor Cheng Wen-tsan (鄭文燦) on the city’s fire department, Cheng Shao-shu said.
Lin Chih-chien’s conduct is worrying, especially as he might run in the Taoyuan mayoral election in November, Cheng Shao-shu said.
Chiu urged the Hsinchu City Government to enact changes and not to blame whistleblowers or frontline firefighters for bringing attention to the problem.
NOT DEFENSELESS: Taiwan’s medium-range supersonic land-attack cruise missile offers an added deterrent to a potential cross-strait invasion, the legislative speaker said China should think twice about invading Taiwan, as its Yun Feng (雲峰, Cloud Peak) missile could reach Beijing, Legislative Speaker You Si-kun (游錫堃) said yesterday. You was presenting an online keynote speech on the Web forum www.taiwanus.net. He said that when he was the premier he already knew that the Cloud Peak, a medium-range supersonic land-attack cruise missile developed in Taiwan, could reach Beijing. At the time he could not talk publicly about it, but now he could, as the missile is in mass production. You was premier from Feb. 1, 2002, to Feb. 1, 2005. Taiwan is not invading China, but China should
NEW ASSERTIONS: The strait’s status as an international waterway has never been an issue in discussions until recently, raising fears of a naval confrontation, a source said During meetings with US counterparts in the past few months, Chinese military officials repeatedly said that the Taiwan Strait is not within international waters, generating concern in Washington, a person familiar with the matter said. The statement, which disputes the US interpretation of international law, has been delivered to the US government by Chinese officials on multiple occasions and at multiple levels, the person said. The US and key allies routinely send naval vessels through the waterway as part of freedom of navigation exercises, with the view that much of the strait is in international waters. China has long asserted that the
EIGHT KILLED: Three of the four juvenile victims were children of the man suspected of setting the fire at the tire repair shop after a family dispute Four of the eight people killed in a fire in Hsinchu City on Wednesday night were children and the other four were adults who died while trying to rescue the children from the second floor of the burning building, the city’s Fire Bureau said yesterday. Fire Bureau First Corps commander Chang Chih-chih (張智智) told a news conference that the fire at Zheng Yi Tire Repair Shop on Dongda Road might have been intentionally set by the owner’s son, Chen Yen-hsiang (陳彥翔), who earlier had an argument with other family members. Chen allegedly bought gasoline and lit a fire near four motorcycles inside
FIFA World Cup host Qatar has corrected an online application form that listed Taiwan as part of China, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said yesterday.

Which Florastor probiotics are best?
Like any supplement, picking probiotics can be an intimidating task. The Florastor brand of probiotics is one of the best on the market. They use good ingredients and are available at fair prices.
The best Florastor probiotic is the Florastor Daily Probiotic Supplement for Men and Women — 100 Capsules. This all-around probiotic comes in smaller boxes if you’d like to try them out before committing to such a large quantity.
What to know before you buy a Florastor probiotic
CFUs and strains
The colony-forming units of a Florastor probiotic are the living bacteria contained in a single dose. These are the most important things to consider when choosing a probiotic. CFUs can number anywhere between 5 and 400 billion.
Any given Florastor probiotic will also use any combination of bacteria strains in the dose. There are dozens of different strains available, all of which are meant to target different health problems.
Who it’s for
Some Florastor probiotics can be taken by anyone, but others are specifically crafted for men, women or children.
- Men: Men’s Florastor probiotics typically include extra ingredients targeted toward improving heart and prostate health.
- Women: Women’s Florastor probiotics typically include extra ingredients for improving immune systems, reproductive systems and sometimes mood.
- Children: Children’s Florastor probiotics usually target immune systems, but the biggest difference is in their CFU count. Children’s probiotics include the lowest amount of CFUs possible to avoid accidentally flooding their system with too much bacteria.
Forms
Florastor probiotics usually take one of three forms. The most common is a simple capsule, like any pill, though these capsules can range in sizes depending on what it contains. Powdered forms are next most common, whether available in a bottle or individual sachets. You can also open capsules and treat them like powders. Finally, some Florastor probiotics come in chewable forms.
What to look for in a quality Florastor probiotic
Living bacteria
Florastor probiotics need to include living cultures to be effective, nonliving bacteria won’t do you any good. Before purchasing make sure to locate confirmation that it contains living bacteria and make sure to properly store it to avoid killing the living bacteria early. Also, make sure to avoid taking Florastor probiotics after the expiration date as this means the bacteria are no longer living.
Side effects
Like any supplement or medication, there’s a risk of side effects when taking Florastor probiotics. These side effects usually relate to digestive systems and can be anything from a little bloating to some constipation or diarrhea. These side effects are usually only present the first few days or occasionally a week. If they persist, stop taking your Florastor probiotic and contact your doctor.
How much you can expect to spend on a Florastor probiotic
Florastor probiotics are available in all manner of quantities and forms, making the price-per-dose the cost to concern yourself with. Typically, a Florastor probiotic can be found for roughly $.50 to $1.25 per dose with most costing around $.75.
Florastor probiotic FAQ
Does it matter when and how I take a Florastor probiotic?
A. Yes, it does. Probiotics should be taken at the same time every day to help your body best regulate its bacteria. There’s some inconsistency with whether or not you should take your probiotic with food or on an empty stomach. For the best results follow the directions included with the Florastor probiotic you select.
Do I need to refrigerate my Florastor probiotic or not?
A. That depends on a few factors like what kind of probiotic your Florastor probiotic uses. Your Florastor probiotic will directly state what kind of storage method it requires to remain effective. Make sure to follow those directions or you could end up with an ineffective or potentially dangerous Florastor probiotic.

Beaufort Co celebrates Black history with Juneteenth ceremony
BEAUFORT COUNTY, N.C. (WITN) - In Eastern Carolina, Juneteenth ceremonies have been taking place over the past few days and will continue into the weekend.
The Inaugural Greater Beaufort County Historic Juneteenth Celebration took place Saturday morning in Downtown Washington.
The event highlighted the Juneteenth federal holiday as well as the raising of the Juneteenth flag.
The ceremony began with a reading of the Emancipation Proclamation and a declaration by Mayor Donald Sadler officially making June 19th Juneteenth Celebration Day in Washington.
A direct descendant of an enslaved person in Washington in the 1800s read a poem written by their ancestor and a group sang Lift Every Voice and Sing.
One city council member says that it is important for people of all colors to come together to celebrate this holiday.
”For a community to grow it first must reach out to each other,” said William Pitt. “Black, brown, white and just put those tags aside, and say we are all human beings.”
Beaufort County is known in the East for its rich African American history including the Washington Waterfront Underground Museum and the historic markers of Freedom Road spots throughout the downtown area.

Police arrest 4 in catalytic converter thefts
Four Fresno residents face charges in connection with catalytic converter thefts in Nevada County, the Nevada City Police Department said. | https://www.theunion.com/news/nevada-county-police-blotter-caller-reports-suspect-holding-knife-to-mans-throat/ | 2022-06-19T01:35:00Z | https://www.theunion.com/news/nevada-county-police-blotter-caller-reports-suspect-holding-knife-to-mans-throat/ | true | 1 |
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — After two days of deliberations in which they reached verdicts on nearly all of the questions put before them, jurors in a civil trial who were deciding on sexual abuse allegations against Bill Cosby will have to start from scratch on Monday.
By the end of the court day Friday, the Los Angeles County jury had come to agreement on whether Cosby had sexually assaulted plaintiff Judy Huth at the Playboy Mansion when she was 16 in 1975, and whether Huth deserved any damages. In all they had answered eight of nine questions on their verdict form, all but one that asked whether Cosby acted in a way that should require punitive damages.
Judge Craig Karlan, who had promised one juror when she agreed to serve that she could leave after Friday for a prior commitment, decided over the objections of Cosby's attorneys to accept and read the verdict on the questions the jury had answered. But he had to change course when deputies at the Santa Monica Courthouse appeared and required him to clear the courtroom. The courthouse has a required closure time of 4:30 p.m. because of no budget for deputies' overtime
Karlan refused to require the departing juror, who had been chosen as foreperson, to return on Monday, so jurors will have to begin again with an alternate in her place.
“I won't go back on my word,” Karlan said.
It was a bizarre ending to a strange day of jury deliberations. It began with a note to the judge about what he called a “personality issue” between two of the jurors that was making their work difficult.
After calling them to the courtroom and getting them to agree that every juror would be heard in discussions, the jurors resumed, but had a steady flurry of questions on issues with their verdict form that the judge and attorneys had to discuss and answer. One question was on how to calculate damages.
After the lunch break, Cosby lawyer Jennifer Bonjean moved for a mistrial because of a photo taken by a member of Cosby's team that showed a juror standing in close proximity to a Cosby accuser who had been sitting in the audience and watching the trial.
Karlan said the photo didn't indicate any conversation had happened, and quickly dismissed the mistrial motion, getting assurances from the juror in question, then the entire jury, that no one had discussed the case with them.
The accuser, Los Angeles artist Lily Bernard, who has filed her own lawsuit against Cosby in New Jersey, denied speaking to any jurors.
“I never spoke to any juror, ever,” Bernard told the judge from her seat in the courtroom. “I would never do anything to jeopardize this case. I don't even look at them.”
Karlan fought to get past the hurdles and have jurors deliberate as long as possible, and kept lawyers, reporters and court staff in the courtroom ready to bolt as soon as a verdict was read, but it was fruitless in the end.
Jurors had begun deliberating on Thursday morning after a two-week trial.
Cosby, 84, who was freed from prison when his Pennsylvania criminal conviction was thrown out nearly a year ago, did not attend. He denied any sexual contact with Huth in a clip from a 2015 video deposition shown to jurors. The denial has been repeated throughout the trial by his spokesman and his attorney.
In contentious closing arguments, Bonjean urged the jurors to look past the public allegations against Cosby and consider only the trial evidence, which she said did not come close to proving Huth's case.
Huth's attorney Nathan Goldberg told jurors Cosby had to be held accountable for the harm he had done to his client.
The Associated Press does not normally name people who say they have been sexually abused, unless they come forward publicly, as Huth and Bernard each have. | https://www.wbir.com/article/news/nation-world/bill-cosby-case-jury-must-start-deliberations-over/507-3b4f9e54-17a3-4577-b416-40405e7cf4d1 | 2022-06-19T01:44:11Z | https://www.wbir.com/article/news/nation-world/bill-cosby-case-jury-must-start-deliberations-over/507-3b4f9e54-17a3-4577-b416-40405e7cf4d1 | true | 77 |
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — His co-workers repeatedly ridiculed him over his estranged wife’s alleged affair with a man he worked with, Jose Gutierrez-Rosales told officials. They would pretend to call her. They laughed and bullied him. He had had enough.
“They provoked all of this,” Gutierrez-Rosales told sheriff’s investigators.
On April 18, Gutierrez-Rosales said he and Hector Javier Castaneda Vasquez — the man he believed was sleeping with his wife — were working near irrigation pipes on Di Giorgio Road east of Lamont. That’s when the “accident” happened, he told investigators, according to court filings.
“We were there picking up the pipes,” he reportedly said. “I ate about two tacos, and I felt my body like strange, and then all of a sudden, I grabbed the pipe, and I just started going at him.”
He said he spoke to Vasquez as he beat him to death, officials say.
“This is for getting involved with my family,” Gutierrez-Rosales reportedly said he told Vasquez as he hit him.
Gutierrez-Rosales, 49, is charged with first-degree murder and held without bail. He’s due back in court Tuesday.
Vasquez, 56, died at the scene. He suffered multiple facial fractures and had cuts to his face and the back of his head, according to the documents. Several teeth had been knocked out.
It’s unclear from the documents if Gutierrez-Rosales was actually married. A woman whose name is redacted told investigators she and Gutierrez-Rosales were in a relationship three months but had separated several weeks before the killing. She said he has anger issues.
Deputies arrested Gutierrez-Rosales April 28. Other co-workers had witnessed the beating and identified him as the perpetrator, officials say.
One witness told police he at first thought Gutierrez-Rosales was killing a snake. From his angle, he couldn’t see the object hit four or five times with what appeared to be a long pole. Another co-worker yelled “stop,” the witness said.
After killing Vasquez, Gutierrez-Rosales said he drove to Taft, left the vehicle there and began to walk to Bakersfield, according to court documents. He asked God for forgiveness and began cutting himself with a knife similar to a box cutter. He said his cellphone died and he buried it near a grape vineyard by the highway.
He said he knew he’d get caught. If he had really wanted to run he’d have gone to Mexico, Gutierrez-Rosales told detectives.
“I’m going to own up to it like a man,” he said. | https://www.yourerie.com/news/national-news/man-says-he-beat-co-worker-to-death-over-suspected-affair-docs/ | 2022-06-19T01:44:46Z | https://www.yourerie.com/news/national-news/man-says-he-beat-co-worker-to-death-over-suspected-affair-docs/ | true | 40 |
CHEVY CHASE, Md. — Political commentator and columnist Mark Shields, who shared his insight into American politics and wit on “PBS NewsHour” for decades, died Saturday. He was 85.
Shields died at his Chevy Chase, Maryland, home, from kidney failure, “PBS NewsHour” spokesman Nick Massella said.
Shields was a regular on the show starting in 1987, the year the show began, and stepped down from his regular Friday night discussion segment in December 2020. He had collaborated with David Brooks since 2001 to provide analysis and commentary in their weekly Shields & Brooks segment and during election specials and conventions and before that with David Gergen and Paul Gigot, according to “PBS NewsHour.” His tenure there spanned six presidencies.
Brooks tweeted his 2020 tribute to Shields in The New York Times, calling it “an attempt to capture one of the finest and beloved men” he had ever known.
“We’ve had thousands of disagreements over the years, but never a second of acrimony,” Brooks wrote in the piece. “Mark radiates a generosity of spirit that improves all who come within his light.”
Judy Woodruff, “PBS NewsHour” anchor and managing editor, tweeted that she was ”heartbroken" to share the news and noted Shields' wife Anne was at his side at his death.
“Mark Shields had a magical combination of talents: an unsurpassed knowledge of politics and a passion, joy, and irrepressible humor that shone through in all his work," Woodruff said in a statement. "He loved most politicians, but could spot a phony and was always bold to call out injustice. Along with Jim Lehrer and Robin MacNeil, he personified all that’s special in the PBS NewsHour.“
For decades, she said, Shields “wowed us with his encyclopedic knowledge of American politics, his sense of humor and mainly his big heart."
The Weymouth, Massachusetts, native graduated from the University of Notre Dame and served in the U.S. Marine Corps, according to “PBS NewsHour.” He began his career in Washington as a legislative assistant and speechwriter for Wisconsin Sen. William Proxmire in 1965, according to “PBS NewsHour.” Three years later, Shields joined New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s presidential campaign and later worked on numerous campaigns. In 1979, he began writing a column at The Washington Post that was later distributed by Creators Syndicate.
Shields was a moderator and panelist on CNN’s “Capital Gang” from 1988 to 2005 and a regular panelist on “Inside Washington,” which aired on PBS and ABC, from 2005 until 2013. He also wrote “On the Campaign Trail,” an account of the 1984 presidential campaign.
Niece Carolyn Ryan, managing editor of The New York Times, tweeted: "So sad to tell you that my uncle, Mark Shields, died this morning. He was a special guy: full of heart and wisdom and love. Love of politics, sports, and so many people.”
Knowing and working with Shields was a privilege, “PBS NewsHour” Chief Correspondent Amna Nawaz tweeted.
“Truly one of a kind. Mark’s intellect, wit, and heart were unmatched,” she wrote. “I left every single conversation I ever had with him smarter and smiling.” | https://www.wtol.com/article/news/nation-world/mark-shields-dies-at-85/507-5ffe4f4c-1a22-4345-98a3-8a2a70d8fbbc | 2022-06-19T01:45:31Z | https://www.wtol.com/article/news/nation-world/mark-shields-dies-at-85/507-5ffe4f4c-1a22-4345-98a3-8a2a70d8fbbc | true | 27 |

Hangovers from hell kick in at the age of 34 while people feel 'too old' to go out at 38, study finds
- The survey of 2,000 people from 18 to 65, found we stop doing shots at 33
- A doctor said the enzymes that breakdown alcohol breakdown get less efficient
- Ollie Hunter, 38, said after his 34th birthday: 'My hangover lasted three days'
Hangovers may be the grim inevitability of a big night out – but they really start to hit hard when we reach 34, a survey has claimed.
And, on average, four years later, at 38, people begin feeling 'too old' to go out at all and would rather spend a night on the sofa.
The survey of the drinking habits of 2,000 people aged from 18 to 65, commissioned by greeting-card firm Thortful, found other age-related landmarks, including the end of doing shots at 33 and the onset of two-day hangovers at 35.
Ollie Hunter, 38 said: 'My hangover lasted three days - my head just wouldn't stop pounding' Pictured; Stock Image
Ollie Hunter, 38, of St Albans, Herts, said: 'I remember my 34th birthday* it was a messy one.
'I went into London with a group of pals and ended up doing shots until 4am.
'I don't even remember getting home, but I do remember that from that day onwards I've never had another shot of tequila.'
Speaking about his hangover, the design consultant said: 'My hangover lasted three days - my head just wouldn't stop pounding.'
A spokesman for thorftul.com said this week: 'It's a well known fact that our hangovers get worse with age, and our new study has revealed when they become hangovers from hell*the age of 34.'
Dr Deborah Lee, at Dr Fox Online Pharmacy, said: 'Little research has been conducted on the severity of hangovers with ageing.
'However, hangovers are due to the breakdown of alcohol and the persisting presence of its toxic metabolite - acetaldehyde - in the body.
The survey of the drinking habits of 2,000 people aged from 18 to 65 found other age-related landmarks, including the end of doing shots at 33
'Hangovers are likely to worsen with age because the activity of the key enzymes involved in alcohol breakdown becomes less efficient with age.
'Also, older people have less muscle and more fat, plus the distribution of water within the body alters as we age.
'The end result is higher levels of blood alcohol which take longer to metabolise.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10930927/Hangovers-hell-kick-age-34-people-feel-old-38-study-finds.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-06-19T01:50:06Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10930927/Hangovers-hell-kick-age-34-people-feel-old-38-study-finds.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true | 3 |

Wind blows Canada’s way in SailGP Chicago while US struggles
Phil Robertson’s Team Canada bounced back from a capsize earlier in the week to win two of three fleet races Saturday and take the lead in the United States Sail Grand Prix Chicago on Lake Michigan.
While the first-year Canadian team surprised the nine-boat fleet, Jimmy Spithill’s Team USA had a bad day in front of the home county fans by going 8-9-7 to tumble to last overall.
Robertson overcame choppy water and unpredictable wind shifts off Navy Pier to win the second and third fleet races after Peter Burling sailed Team New Zealand’s foiling 50-foot catamaran to victory in the first race. Canada was fourth in the first race.
Canada scored 27 points to lead Sir Ben Ainslie and Britain by one point, with New Zealand four points off the lead. Canada’s 50-foot foiling catamaran was blown over during squall shortly after it hit the water for practice on Thursday. There were no injuries.
“I guess it fills us with more confidence that when it comes to race day, we can really push it,” said Robertson, a New Zealander who is skippering his third team in as many seasons of tech tycoon Larry Ellison’s global league.
Tom Slingsby and two-time defending champion Team Australia are fourth with 21 points followed by Denmark with 18 and Spain 17.
After two more fleet races on Sunday, the top three crews will advance to the podium race.
Team Canada had impressive starts in all three races. Teams had the choice of approaching the line from within the harbor or from beyond the harbor wall for a longer runup.
“We put a bit of time into assessing the different start options ahead of the race and it was pretty clear that you wanted to start outside the wall and come in fast,” Robertson said. “We managed to come ripping through the gap and come out a lot faster than everyone else.”
Canada finished third in the season-opening regatta in Bermuda last month.
It was a tough day for the flight controllers who struggled to control their catamarans in the shifting wind and other unique challenges of Lake Michigan. This is the first freshwater regatta in SailGP’s three seasons.
The American crew struggled the most.
“We’re really disappointed. Certainly, all the fans deserve better,” Spithill said. “The main failing of the team was an inability to execute clean laps. It’s as simple as that. There were too many mistakes and too many errors.”

Hoskins’ pinch-hit in 10th, Phils top Nats; 15 W in 17 games
WASHINGTON (AP) — Pinch-hitter Rhys Hoskins singled home the go-ahead run in the 10th inning and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 2-1 Saturday for their 15th win in 17 games.
The Phillies are a season-high five games over .500 and 14-2 since firing former manager Joe Girardi on June 3.
“Get to .500, now you’re looking at (going five games over),” Philadelphia interim manager Rob Thomson said. “Get to five over, now you’re looking at 10.”
The last-place Nationals lost on the day they retired the No. 11 of organizational stalwart Ryan Zimmerman in front of a sellout crowd of 42,730.
Philadelphia starter Aaron Nola pitched eight shutout innings for the second time in three starts. He allowed four hits and struck out eight.
“Changeup felt pretty good,” Nola said. “Better than usual. Got some early outs, quick innings.”
Washington starter Josiah Gray pitched one-hit ball for six scoreless innings.
“You know, we’re in a little rut right now, but about a week before we were playing pretty good baseball,” Gray said. “So continue to get back to those winning ways and we’re going to get there soon. We’re all putting the work in. I’m sure the fans are going to start coming more and more as the weather starts heating up and we get back to our winning ways. “
In the Washington ninth, pinch-hitter Lane Thomas had a two-out single on a 2-2 slider from Brad Hand (2-1) that scored Juan Soto with the tying run.
Hoskins’ hit up the middle off Reed Garrett (0-1) scored automatic runner Matt Vierling from second. Philadelphia then loaded the bases with no outs, but did not score again.
Seranthony Domínguez recorded his first save of the year by pitching a scoreless 10th.
Yairo Muñoz homered in the Phillies seventh off Erasmo Ramirez.
Gray struck out four, walked three and threw a career-high 117 pitches. He retired Bryson Stott on a comebacker with two runners on base to finish his outing and exalted on his way back to the dugout. Stott slammed his bat after the grounder.
Washington put two runners on base in the sixth before Nelson Cruz struck out. Nola’s efficiency – 71 pitches in six innings – allowed him to remain in the game and helped Philadelphia stay hot.
“Winning is fun,” Nola said. “Losing is not ever fun. The more you win, the more fun you have, the better it is. It’s pretty simple.”
PHILLIES MAKE A SWAP
Philadelphia traded RHP James Norwood to the Boston Red Sox for cash considerations. Norwood, 28, started five games and appeared in 20 total this season for Philadelphia. He had an 8.31 ERA.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Phillies: OF Bryce Harper (blister) was scratched from the starting lineup. Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson said Harper’s blister is near the base of his left index finger and “blew up” on him overnight.
Nationals: LHP Evan Lee (left flexor strain) was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday. RHP Andres Machado was recalled to take Lee’s place on the roster.
UP NEXT
Phillies: RHP Zach Eflin (2-4, 3.98 ERA), who has a 7.13 ERA in away games, makes his 12th start of the season.
Nationals: RHP Jackson Tetreault (0-1, 15.75 ERA) makes his second career start.

Which baby bubble bath is best?
A good bubble bath can help to strike the perfect balance between a practical bathing moment and a playfully fun time. Finding the right bubble bath can be a complex mission since many factors are at play, such as skin sensitivity, bubbles, ingredients and more.
For a natural choice from a trusted brand, consider The Honest Company Tear-Free Bubble Bath. The product is gentle and tear-free, and the company has decided to err on the side of caution and make the best ingredient selection.
What to know before you buy a baby bubble bath
Picking out a bubble bath can be challenging, as you have to consider both what will be entertaining and fun for your baby and what will be healthy for them. However, there are bubble baths that can do both.
The bubble factor
A bubble bath would not have got its name if it were not for the bubbles, so it is important to consider the bubble factor. Bubbles are enhanced by ingredients called surfactants, which lower the surface tension between two liquids, allowing the bubbles to stay connected to the surface of the water. The most common surfactant, sodium laureth sulfate, is a fairly strong chemical, so it may not be included in most formulas designed to be gentle on the skin.
If you opt for a gentler bubble bath, you can help the bubbles by applying them to the baby tub near the warm running water as it fills up, as the movement will help the bubbles form. The stronger the water pressure, the more bubbles you will get. Running the bubble bath under the showerhead is effective for this reason.
Scent
Children can get pretty smelly, so it is important to find a bubble bath to get them clean and smelling fresh. Some children struggle with strong artificial scents, while others don’t seem to mind them. Some artificial scents used in bubble baths can be tough on sensitive skin, so it is important to keep an eye out for what causes the scent in a particular formula.
If a bubble bath just uses the word “fragrance” and does not specify the source, it would be best to avoid it. The chemicals are not specified for a purpose — there is a high chance there are fragrant chemicals you do not want on your baby’s skin. If you want a scented bubble bath, try opting for one that uses natural and plant-based fragrances. Essential oils can be a good scent creator, though some children also react poorly to those. It is always safest to read product reviews to see if a particular bubble bath works well for children like yours.
Plant-based and organic
Plant-based ingredients are becoming more common, which is great for parents and babies with sensitive skin. However, as these types of products are more sought after, companies can sometimes be misleading in the way they present that information. For example, if you see “plant-based” on a bottle of bubble bath, read more closely to see if the whole formula is plant-based or just has a few natural ingredients.
Skin sensitivity and hypoallergenic
Baby skin is particularly sensitive, and some babies have stronger reactions than others. General skin sensitivity is usually triggered by harsh chemicals in bubble baths, such as parabens and phthalates. If your child has sensitive skin, opt for a formula that avoids these and other harsh chemicals.
“Hypoallergenic” as a term is more specific. If a product is labeled hypoallergenic, that means it lacks ingredients that are common allergens. Unfortunately, there is no government-regulated definition for what hypoallergenic refers to exactly, so it can show up on two labels with vastly different ingredients. Additionally, allergies are specific to certain individuals. As a result, one baby will react to something with which another baby will have no issue.
The best way to avoid an allergic reaction is to know what you’re allergic to and avoid that specific ingredient, but it can be hard to know specific allergies for most babies. Therefore, most parents opt for formulas with as few ingredients as possible but rich in plant-based ingredients to minimize potential risks.
Tear-free
Babies splash and play, and bubble bath is likely to get in their eyes, so you must find a bubble bath that will not hurt tremendously when that happens. Like hypoallergenic, tear-free is not a certification that products can acquire, so it’s hard to know what exactly a product means when it says it is tear-free. In general, the more diluted a product is, the more balanced its pH level is. Hence, the fewer harsh chemicals a bubble bath has, the less likely it is to irritate the eyes. Reading reviews for a specific product can help identify how successful it is at being “tear-free.”
Cruelty-free
Unlike other terms, cruelty-free is an objective standard that can be regulated. Cruelty Free International is an independent company that regulates cosmetic products, certifying that a product is free from animal cruelty with a leaping bunny logo. Cruelty Free International is a European-based company, so it may be hard to find products certified in other parts of the world. However, if you can find a product with the leaping bunny logo, you can rest at ease knowing that this organization regulates both the finished product and the individual ingredients.
Outside of this certification, there are other private companies that claim to do cruelty-free approvals. Still, this term is not regulated either, so a company may say their product is “cruelty-free” or “never tested on animals” and only refer to the finished product rather than the ingredients that went into it. As with other terms, extra research into a specific product can help ease your mind regarding animal testing.
How much you can expect to spend on a baby bubble bath
Overall, you can expect to spend $5-$20 on a bottle of bubble bath. Those costing less than $10 are often made from cheaper ingredients and may not be great for sensitive skin. Most customers should feel comfortable spending between $8-$15, as these formulas are usually a good combination of quality and affordability. However, if your baby has very sensitive skin or other specific needs, you may need to opt for a bubble bath that costs more than $15.
Baby bubble bath FAQ
Will bubble bath increase your baby’s risk of urinary tract infections?
A. Research studies haven’t reached clear conclusions so far. To be safe, limit the amount of time your child spends soaking in the tub and encourage them to urinate after bath time is over. If your baby is too young to communicate, but seems uncomfortable, remove them from the bath and gently clean their genital area just in case. Other advice suggests waiting until your child is 3 years old to use bubble baths.
Is it better to make or buy a bubble bath?
A. Making cosmetic products by hand can be a hassle for some parents, but if you have the time and ingredients, it can be a good way to know exactly what ingredients will be touching your baby’s skin. There are a lot of DIY bubble bath recipes out there, many of which are primarily natural and work for sensitive skin.

Which fitness trackers are best for kids?
Learning healthy habits early in life helps set kids up for a more active future. Kids’ fitness trackers can help encourage kids to be more active or let parents get an idea of how active their children are throughout the day.
Fitness trackers for kids should encourage fun activity without a focus on weight or calories, which can be harmful for young people. Parents looking for a reliable fitness tracker that will encourage kids to be more active should try the Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2.
What to know before you buy a kids’ fitness tracker
Fitness activity tracker
Different fitness trackers offer different types of activity tracking. Almost all models on the market have a built-in pedometer that tracks how many steps the wearer does in a day. Some kids’ fitness trackers also log other types of activities that children take part in, such as running, jumping and swimming. Some trackers simply feed this information back to parents while others use it to let kids take part in fitness challenges. Trackers aimed at young children usually focus on making a game out of activities. For more info, see the full guide to kids’ fitness trackers at BestReviews.
Fitness and sleep tracker
You can find some kids’ fitness trackers that can track sleep patterns in addition to steps and other activities. This is great for parents or caregivers who are worried that their kids aren’t getting enough sleep or are waking in the night. If your child often complains of feeling tired on waking, it’s a good idea to choose a model with sleep tracking.
Parental monitoring
The data from any decent kids’ fitness tracker will be fed directly to an app on a parent’s phone. This lets you easily see how much activity your child has done in a day without needing physical access to their fitness tracker. Making a huge deal out of fitness and activity can sometimes cause kids to either want to do less exercise or can give them hang-ups about weight and body image, so it’s good to be able to quietly monitor activity without bringing it up too much.
What to look for in a quality kids’ fitness tracker
Water resistance
Ideally, kids’ fitness trackers should be waterproof so that kids can swim with them on. At the very least, they should be water resistant enough to withstand a soaking from the rain or being splashed during a water fight or when washing hands.
Design
Some kids’ fitness trackers have bands that feature bold patterns or cartoon characters, which may encourage children to want to wear them.
Motivational tools
Kids’ fitness trackers often have built-in motivational tools, like receiving digital badges for doing a certain amount of activity or letting kids compete in challenges against parents and siblings.
How much you can expect to spend on a kids’ fitness tracker
The majority of fitness trackers for kids cost $40-$80. You can find some cheaper models, but they’re not always precise and may not offer the best features.
Kids’ fitness tracker FAQ
Are fitness trackers safe for kids?
A. You might be wondering if fitness trackers are physically safe for kids, keep them safe online or a bit of both. Although fitness trackers encourage kids to stay active, they don’t encourage an unhealthy amount of activity. In terms of online safety, some fitness trackers allow kids to compete with friends in fitness challenges, but any models from reputable brands will only allow this if parents have first approved any friend requests. Fitness trackers don’t allow kids to communicate with others, except in some cases where kids can communicate with family members but only when approved via the parental app.
How much exercise do kids need?
A. Ideally, kids aged 6 and up should get at least 60 minutes of moderate physical activity each day, including some aerobic activity and some strength-building activity. We don’t mean that kids should be working out. They can get this type of exercise by playing and having fun. Activities that increase aerobic fitness, strength or both include running around, playing tag, cycling, swimming, jumping rope, climbing on a jungle gym, skateboarding, dancing and team sports like soccer, basketball or baseball.

What you’ll love: This includes some games that encourage activity in a fun way and a motion sensor to track them. Kids love the included games and camera, which offers fun filters to mess around with.

India promotes tolerance and inclusion, and deals with any aberration within the legal framework, the country's top envoy at the UN has said, asserting that the country does not need "selective outrage" from outsiders amidst condemnation by a dozen Muslim countries over the controversial remarks made by two now-suspended BJP functionaries against the Prophet.
India's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador T S Tirumurti said this on Friday during a high-level event to make the celebration of the 1st anniversary of the International Day on Countering Hate Speech titled Role of education to address the root causes of hate speech and advance inclusion, non-discrimination, and peace'.
India's multicultural edifice has, over centuries, made it a safe haven for all those who seek refuge in India, whether the Jewish community or Zoroastrians or Tibetans or from our own neighbourhood, Tirumurti said.
It is this underlying strength of our nation that has withstood radicalisation and terrorism over time, he said.
It is with this sense of history that India has continued to play a defining role to combat radicalisation and terrorism, and promote tolerance and inclusion, Tirumurti said.
Aberrations are dealt with within our legal framework and we do not need selective outrage from outsiders, especially when they are self-serving - even communal in nature, and pursuing a divisive agenda, he said.
The event was organised by the Permanent Mission of Morocco and the United Nations Office on Genocide Prevention and Responsibility to Protect.
Tirumurti said the greatest bulwark against intolerance and hatred is embracing the principles of democracy, where there are necessary checks and balances and where any aberration is addressed within the confines of the rule of law.
Further, a society based on pluralism, where every religion is respected, is a sine qua non of tolerance and harmony.
India has embraced both these principles - democracy and pluralism. And we call on all countries to adhere to these principles to ensure that intolerance is addressed within a Constitutional framework, he added.
Earlier his month, over a dozen Muslim countries, including Iraq, Libya, Malaysia and Turkiye, condemned the controversial remarks made by two now-suspended BJP functionaries against the Prophet.
The BJP on June 5 suspended its national spokesperson Nupur Sharma and expelled its Delhi media head Naveen Kumar Jindal after their controversial remarks against the Prophet.
Amid protests by Muslim groups over the remarks, the party also issued a statement aimed at assuaging the concerns of minorities and distancing itself from these members, asserting that it respects all religions and strongly denounces the insult of any religious personality.
The Ministry of External Affairs has said that India accords the highest respect to all religions.
The offensive tweets and comments denigrating a religious personality were made by certain individuals. They do not, in any manner, reflect the views of the Government of India. Strong action has already been taken against these individuals by relevant bodies, the MEA Spokesperson said last week.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — His co-workers repeatedly ridiculed him over his estranged wife’s alleged affair with a man he worked with, Jose Gutierrez-Rosales told officials. They would pretend to call her. They laughed and bullied him. He had had enough.
“They provoked all of this,” Gutierrez-Rosales told sheriff’s investigators.
On April 18, Gutierrez-Rosales said he and Hector Javier Castaneda Vasquez — the man he believed was sleeping with his wife — were working near irrigation pipes on Di Giorgio Road east of Lamont. That’s when the “accident” happened, he told investigators, according to court filings.
“We were there picking up the pipes,” he reportedly said. “I ate about two tacos, and I felt my body like strange, and then all of a sudden, I grabbed the pipe, and I just started going at him.”
He said he spoke to Vasquez as he beat him to death, officials say.
“This is for getting involved with my family,” Gutierrez-Rosales reportedly said he told Vasquez as he hit him.
Gutierrez-Rosales, 49, is charged with first-degree murder and held without bail. He’s due back in court Tuesday.
Vasquez, 56, died at the scene. He suffered multiple facial fractures and had cuts to his face and the back of his head, according to the documents. Several teeth had been knocked out.
It’s unclear from the documents if Gutierrez-Rosales was actually married. A woman whose name is redacted told investigators she and Gutierrez-Rosales were in a relationship three months but had separated several weeks before the killing. She said he has anger issues.
Deputies arrested Gutierrez-Rosales April 28. Other co-workers had witnessed the beating and identified him as the perpetrator, officials say.
One witness told police he at first thought Gutierrez-Rosales was killing a snake. From his angle, he couldn’t see the object hit four or five times with what appeared to be a long pole. Another co-worker yelled “stop,” the witness said.
After killing Vasquez, Gutierrez-Rosales said he drove to Taft, left the vehicle there and began to walk to Bakersfield, according to court documents. He asked God for forgiveness and began cutting himself with a knife similar to a box cutter. He said his cellphone died and he buried it near a grape vineyard by the highway.
He said he knew he’d get caught. If he had really wanted to run he’d have gone to Mexico, Gutierrez-Rosales told detectives.
“I’m going to own up to it like a man,” he said. | https://fox2now.com/news/national/man-says-he-beat-co-worker-to-death-over-suspected-affair-docs/ | 2022-06-19T02:11:51Z | https://fox2now.com/news/national/man-says-he-beat-co-worker-to-death-over-suspected-affair-docs/ | true | 40 |

SREENAGAR, MUNSIGANJ, June 18: Harmful acid burning without licence and basking businesses of gold mortgage are going on unabated in Sreenagar Upazila of the district.
Due to this, the government is missing crores of taka revenue yearly.
It was learnt, there are more than 150 small, medium and big gold shops in the upazila including over 50 shops in Sreenagar Bazar.
Usually nitric acid is used in gold shops. But most of these don't have licence.
Most gold jewellery shops are ignoring the ban on openly burning acid and buying and selling. In every shop acid, is stored in glassy bottle.
Nitric acid is burnt to galvanize gold. Sulphuric acid is used for raising brightness of ornament. Under the existing law, galvanizing gold in separate room is necessary. But no jewellery shop is maintaining this.
Due to openly acid burning, toxic smoke is causing tough breath, asthma and other diseases.
According to Provision-1981 of Product Control Act-1968, it requires jewellery gold taking licence from trade and businesses branch of the district deputy commissioner (DC) office for using acid and doing gold businesses. Even money-lending licence is needed for doing gold mortgage businesses.
According to sources, a number of unscrupulous gold traders are doing businesses illegally year after year. Most jewellery shops don't have ornament-manufacturing tools and makers. But they have opened shops with signboards hanged. Behind the scene, they are doing businesses of interest-based businesses making gold jewellery mortgaged.
They are becoming businessmen of gold within two/three years from lenders. Besides, some of them are making fraudulence practice with clients, the sources said.
Such traders are selling adulterated gold to customers in the name of imported gold of different carats. It is creating quarrel as well as repercussion in haats and villages between gold sellers and customers. On emergency needs, many are keeping their gold things to jewellery shops as mortgage and taking money against those.
At the time of mortgaging, the re-taking time is fixed by the shopper. If the gold owner misses time to take back, his gold is not returned. Besides, in some cases, fake gold is given.
According to the Revenue Board norms, having value added tax (VAT) licence is mandatory for all gold traders.
Some unscrupulous VAT officials are taking bribe from businessmen to puff their pockets. Due to lack of effective overseeing, the government is deprived of huge amount of revenue.
General Secretary of Gold Jewellery Businesses Association of Sreenagar Sadar Bazar Suman Das said, "At present we don't use so much acid. There are some gold -olishing shops: in fact these are using much acid."
"We applied earlier to upazila nirbahi officer (UNO) for licence," he added.
About mortage interest, he said, "We'll take licence if government issues."
Sreenagar UNO Pranab Kumar Ghosh said, "We've conducted mobile courts earlier with BSTI about acid use. List of jewellery shops has been collected through union Parishad. Now it is being verified. We're contacting with the DC office in order to bring all jewellery shops under licene system. Measures will be taken against those shops that will not remain under the system."
Asked about mortgage interest businesses, he said, after inquiry measures will be taken. | https://www.observerbd.com/news.php?id=371096 | 2022-06-19T02:46:16Z | https://www.observerbd.com/news.php?id=371096 | true | 1 |
Biden adviser Jake Sullivan tests positive for COVID-19
REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. (AP) - White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan tested positive on Saturday for COVID-19, according to the White House.
Sullivan typically has frequent contact with President Joe Biden but last was in contact with the president early in the week, according to a senior administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Sullivan had been keeping his distance from Biden after "a couple" of people he had been in close contact with had tested positive for the virus, the official said.
Adrienne Watson, a National Security Council spokeswoman, said Sullivan "is asymptomatic and he has not been in close contact with the president."
The White House confirmed on Thursday that Biden had tested negative that day. White House officials did not immediately respond a request for comment on whether Biden has been tested more recently.

Yellowstone National Park will partially reopen at 8 a.m. Wednesday, after catastrophic flooding destroyed bridges and roads and drove out thousands of tourists.
The Park Service announced Saturday that visitors will once again be allowed on the park’s southern loop under a temporary license plate system designed to manage the crowds: Those with even-numbered plates and motorcycle groups will be allowed on even-numbered days, and those with odd-numbered or vanity plates on odd-numbered days.
Commercial tours and visitors with proof of overnight reservations at hotels, campgrounds or in the backcountry will be allowed in whatever their plate number.

Visitors had been flocking to Yellowstone during its 150th anniversary celebration. The southern loop provides access to Old Faithful, the rainbow-colored Grand Prismatic Spring, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and its majestic waterfall. It can be accessed from the park's south, east and west entrances.
“It is impossible to reopen only one loop in the summer without implementing some type of system to manage visitation,” Yellowstone Superintendent Cam Sholly said in a news release. “My thanks to our gateway partners and others for helping us work out an acceptable temporary solution for the south loop while we continue our efforts to reopen the north loop.”
The north loop is expected to remain closed through the summer, if not longer. Officials say it could take it could take years and cost more than $1 billion to repair the damage in the environmentally sensitive landscape. | https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/national-international/yellowstone-national-park-to-partly-reopen-after-floods/2787638/ | 2022-06-19T03:07:08Z | https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/national-international/yellowstone-national-park-to-partly-reopen-after-floods/2787638/ | false | 31 |
Opinion
100 kicks in one game - English final shows Wallabies what is coming
Paul Cully
Rugby columnistEngland played a France-dominated Barbarians side overnight, but the Wallabies have probably learnt more from the semifinals and final of the English Premiership season.
In the semis, the ‘pragmatists’ - Leicester and Saracens - beat the ‘entertainers’ - Northampton and Harlequins - and the weekend’s final between the top two sides produced a staggering 105 kicks in play.
Leicester prevailed 15-12 in a game that showed English rugby’s true DNA - kicking, mauls, pressure, scrums. Don’t be fooled by the presence of Marcus Smith in the England side, they aren’t coming to Australia to throw the ball around.
And why would they? In Leicester fullback Freddie Steward, they have a player who can dominate aerially, and Saracens No 10 Owen Farrell will surely start at No 12 to provide the tactical balance.
Incidentally, two Leicester backs with strong Australian links - Guy Porter and Harry Potter - were both strong in the final.
2. Rory Arnold’s discipline issues continue.
The big second-rower is a certainty to join the Wallabies at some stage this season, but he will do so with discipline a major focus. Weeks after he was yellow carded against Munster in the European Champions Cup, he was sent to the sin bin again over the weekend for a high tackle in Toulouse’s Top 14 semifinal loss to Castres.
There wasn’t a lot of intent in it, but at 208cm the former Brumby has to work harder than most to get his tackle height right. But, aside from that, he looks fit and capable of adding plenty once he has a rest and recovers from the long French season: Rennie is probably quietly happy that Toulouse’s loss means Arnold won’t have to go again for the final.
3. Richie Mo’unga masterclass won’t change All Blacks’ minds.
The Crusaders gave the Blues a cold, hard lesson in the first Super Rugby Pacific final on Saturday, but don’t expect Richie Mo’unga to start for the All Blacks at No 10 ahead of Beauden Barrett against Ireland.
The All Blacks set their course before the final, and Barrett will start at No 10 in July, with his brother Jordie at No 15, not No 12. The selection strategy which will probably make some All Blacks fans anxious given how several Blues who made the All Blacks squad announced last week were outplayed by Crusaders who did not.
That was particularly evident in the front row, where young replacement props Tamaiti Williams and Fletcher Newell dominated All Blacks Ofa Tuungafasi and Karl Tu’inukuafe. As for Mo’unga, he was brilliant on Saturday, and his inability to consistently bring that form to the test arena remains an area of concern for the All Blacks.
4. Final shows why Roger Tuivasa-Sheck will have to wait.
The former Warrior worked hard on Saturday, but he knocked from a long lineout throw as the Blues tried to come up with a panicky answer to their set-piece issues. Despite his obvious progress this year, it would now be a big surprise to see him feature against Ireland, particularly as his Crusaders opposite David Havili was so assured and influential in the final.
Indeed, RTS may even have to wait until the All Blacks’ home tests against Argentina in August and September to get his first taste of test rugby. He has probably exceeded expectations so far, but it is important to remember that his move was always seen as a ‘project’.
5. Crusaders’ win shows Brumbies are on the right track.
The Brumbies probably weren’t surprised by the Crusaders’ win. They came close to beating the Blues twice, but were well beaten by the Crusaders in Canberra. But, as Stephen Larkham returns, they will feel that they have the foundations needed to give Super Rugby Pacific a real shake.
Set-piece, pressure, smart kicking, defence - these things win titles more often than not, and they will be hoping that Noah Lolesio can kick on to become the No 10 that pushes them to the big prize.
And, there is no wonder that Waratahs coach Darren Coleman told ESPN this week that he was looking for a big tighthead lock: he has also seen the formula for what works when you get to the playoffs. | https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/rugby-union/100-kicks-in-one-game-english-final-shows-wallabies-what-is-coming-20220619-p5auux.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | 2022-06-19T03:13:23Z | https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/rugby-union/100-kicks-in-one-game-english-final-shows-wallabies-what-is-coming-20220619-p5auux.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | true | 10 |

Good grief. Has foreign policy commentary really devolved to the point where our diplomatic effort is being measured by how many overseas trips have been taken by our Foreign Minister? Weird, but apparently so. All this week, a series of media policy wonks have been invidiously comparing how many trips offshore Nanaia Mahuta has been taking, when compared to her Australian counterpart. Even allowing for how Covid has made foreign trips a rarity for everyone over the past two years… If we’re truly going to resort to a frequent flier standard for measuring diplomatic effectiveness, then Murray McCully would be the greatest Foreign Minister in this country’s history. Believe me, he wasn’t...

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
Reading I Gn 14:18-20
In those days, Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine, and being a priest of God Most High, he blessed Abram with these words: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, the creator of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who delivered your foes into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
Responsorial Psalm Ps 110:1, 2, 3, 4
R (4b) You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek.
The LORD said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand
till I make your enemies your footstool.”
R You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek.
The scepter of your power the LORD will stretch forth from Zion:
“Rule in the midst of your enemies.”
R You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek.
“Yours is princely power in the day of your birth, in holy splendor;
before the daystar, like the dew, I have begotten you.”
R You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek.
The LORD has sworn, and he will not repent:
“You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”
R You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek.
Reading II 1 Cor 11:23-26
Brothers and sisters: I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.
Sequence Lauda Sion
Laud, O Zion, your salvation,
Laud with hymns of exultation,
Christ, your king and shepherd true:
Bring him all the praise you know,
He is more than you bestow.
Never can you reach his due.
Special theme for glad thanksgiving
Is the quick’ning and the living
Bread today before you set:
From his hands of old partaken,
As we know, by faith unshaken,
Where the Twelve at supper met.
Full and clear ring out your chanting,
Joy nor sweetest grace be wanting,
From your heart let praises burst:
For today the feast is holden,
When the institution olden
Of that supper was rehearsed.
Here the new law’s new oblation,
By the new king’s revelation,
Ends the form of ancient rite:
Now the new the old effaces,
Truth away the shadow chases,
Light dispels the gloom of night.
What he did at supper seated,
Christ ordained to be repeated,
His memorial ne’er to cease:
And his rule for guidance taking,
Bread and wine we hallow, making
Thus our sacrifice of peace.
This the truth each Christian learns,
Bread into his flesh he turns,
To his precious blood the wine:
Sight has fail’d, nor thought conceives,
But a dauntless faith believes,
Resting on a pow’r divine.
Here beneath these signs are hidden
Priceless things to sense forbidden;
Signs, not things are all we see:
Blood is poured and flesh is broken,
Yet in either wondrous token
Christ entire we know to be.
Whoso of this food partakes,
Does not rend the Lord nor breaks;
Christ is whole to all that taste:
Thousands are, as one, receivers,
One, as thousands of believers,
Eats of him who cannot waste.
Bad and good the feast are sharing,
Of what divers dooms preparing,
Endless death, or endless life.
Life to these, to those damnation,
See how like participation
Is with unlike issues rife.
When the sacrament is broken,
Doubt not, but believe ‘tis spoken,
That each sever’d outward token
doth the very whole contain.
Nought the precious gift divides,
Breaking but the sign betides
Jesus still the same abides,
still unbroken does remain.
The shorter form of the sequence begins here.
Lo! the angel’s food is given
To the pilgrim who has striven;
see the children’s bread from heaven,
which on dogs may not be spent.
Truth the ancient types fulfilling,
Isaac bound, a victim willing,
Paschal lamb, its lifeblood spilling,
manna to the fathers sent.
Very bread, good shepherd, tend us,
Jesu, of your love befriend us,
You refresh us, you defend us,
Your eternal goodness send us
In the land of life to see.
You who all things can and know,
Who on earth such food bestow,
Grant us with your saints, though lowest,
Where the heav’nly feast you show,
Fellow heirs and guests to be. Amen. Alleluia.
Alleluia Jn 6:51
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven, says the Lord;
whoever eats this bread will live forever.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel Lk 9:11b-17
Jesus spoke to the crowds about the kingdom of God, and he healed those who needed to be cured. As the day was drawing to a close, the Twelve approached him and said, “Dismiss the crowd so that they can go to the surrounding villages and farms and find lodging and provisions; for we are in a deserted place here.” He said to them, “Give them some food yourselves.” They replied, “Five loaves and two fish are all we have, unless we ourselves go and buy food for all these people.” Now the men there numbered about five thousand. Then he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty.” They did so and made them all sit down. Then taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing over them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. They all ate and were satisfied. And when the leftover fragments were picked up, they filled twelve wicker baskets. | https://www.ndbcnews.com.ph/news/solemnity-most-holy-body-and-blood-christ-0 | 2022-06-19T03:20:49Z | https://www.ndbcnews.com.ph/news/solemnity-most-holy-body-and-blood-christ-0 | false | 2 |

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — His co-workers repeatedly ridiculed him over his estranged wife’s alleged affair with a man he worked with, Jose Gutierrez-Rosales told officials. They would pretend to call her. They laughed and bullied him. He had had enough.
“They provoked all of this,” Gutierrez-Rosales told sheriff’s investigators.
On April 18, Gutierrez-Rosales said he and Hector Javier Castaneda Vasquez — the man he believed was sleeping with his wife — were working near irrigation pipes on Di Giorgio Road east of Lamont. That’s when the “accident” happened, he told investigators, according to court filings.
“We were there picking up the pipes,” he reportedly said. “I ate about two tacos, and I felt my body like strange, and then all of a sudden, I grabbed the pipe, and I just started going at him.”
He said he spoke to Vasquez as he beat him to death, officials say.
“This is for getting involved with my family,” Gutierrez-Rosales reportedly said he told Vasquez as he hit him.
Gutierrez-Rosales, 49, is charged with first-degree murder and held without bail. He’s due back in court Tuesday.
Vasquez, 56, died at the scene. He suffered multiple facial fractures and had cuts to his face and the back of his head, according to the documents. Several teeth had been knocked out.
It’s unclear from the documents if Gutierrez-Rosales was actually married. A woman whose name is redacted told investigators she and Gutierrez-Rosales were in a relationship three months but had separated several weeks before the killing. She said he has anger issues.
Deputies arrested Gutierrez-Rosales April 28. Other co-workers had witnessed the beating and identified him as the perpetrator, officials say.
One witness told police he at first thought Gutierrez-Rosales was killing a snake. From his angle, he couldn’t see the object hit four or five times with what appeared to be a long pole. Another co-worker yelled “stop,” the witness said.
After killing Vasquez, Gutierrez-Rosales said he drove to Taft, left the vehicle there and began to walk to Bakersfield, according to court documents. He asked God for forgiveness and began cutting himself with a knife similar to a box cutter. He said his cellphone died and he buried it near a grape vineyard by the highway.
He said he knew he’d get caught. If he had really wanted to run he’d have gone to Mexico, Gutierrez-Rosales told detectives.
“I’m going to own up to it like a man,” he said. | https://www.wspa.com/news/man-says-he-beat-co-worker-to-death-over-suspected-affair-docs/ | 2022-06-19T03:32:15Z | https://www.wspa.com/news/man-says-he-beat-co-worker-to-death-over-suspected-affair-docs/ | true | 40 |
At 10-4 with wins in six of their last seven games, the Chicago Sky look to keep rolling on Sunday when they visit Indianapolis for an Eastern Conference clash with the Indiana Fever.
Friday night’s 106-100 overtime win over the visiting Atlanta Dream may have been too suspenseful for the taste of Sky coach James Wade, but he likes how the defending WNBA champs are progressing.
“The chemistry’s building,” he said. “More time together, players getting comfortable, communication’s building. And just a consistent buy-in of your leaders.”
The Sky displayed excellent balance against Atlanta, putting six players in double figures. Kahleah Copper led the way with a game-high 23 points, while Emma Meesseman and Allie Quigley each scored 17.
Chicago canned a season-high 14 of 25 3-pointers while playing without center Candace Parker (knee). Her status for Sunday’s game isn’t known, and her 12.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists are a lot to leave out of the lineup.
Chicago still has plenty of scoring options. Copper tallies a team-high 13.7 ppg, while Meesseman contributes 13.1 and Courtney Vandersloot hits for 11.1 while dishing out 7.0 assists.
As for the Fever (4-13), they’re coming off a 93-80 home loss Wednesday against Phoenix. A slow start was deadly, as the Mercury established a 53-36 halftime lead and then held off a mild second-half run.
Indiana got 26 points from Kelsey Mitchell, who’s leading the team in scoring at 19.2. Rookie NaLyssa Smith chips in 12.9 points and 8.7 rebounds, although she was held to four points on 1 of 7 shooting in 30 minutes on Wednesday.
This will be the teams’ second meeting this year. The Sky took a 95-90 win on May 24 in Chicago, rallying from a halftime deficit.
The Sky can clinch a spot in the Commissioner’s Cup game this summer with a win on Sunday.

Netflix ranking: the movies preferred this day by the American public
The advance of the technology of the new millennium, added to the coronavirus pandemic that hit the international level, led citizens to seek new ways to enjoy cinema from the comfort of home.
As a result, various streaming platforms have been born, as is the case with Netflixwhich has managed to take advantage of its extensive catalog of productions and has positioned itself in the taste of users.
From that catalog stand out these 10 movieswhich have gained fame and become the topic of conversation in recent days.
Here is the list of the most viewed Netflix United States:

*Some titles may be repeated in the ranking because they are different episodes or seasons, and they may not have a description because the platform does not provide them.
The success of Netflix
Netflix has become the most important streaming platform in recent years and its success has led most entertainment companies to promote their own platforms, such as Disney+ and HBO, among others.
Though started as a company that offered DVD rental services through postal mail, it was in 2011 when the company started operations outside the United States and Canada, by offering its catalog via streaming in Latin America and the Caribbean. A year later it would also reach some European countries and later Asia.
In 2011 the company ventured to start with the production of its own content that started with the successful series house of cardswhich led her to create her studio in 2016. By 2018 it would be defined as a global internet television network.
Previously, on January 16, 2014, one of the most important moments arrived for Netflix: be nominated for an Oscar for the first time in its history with the documentary The Square.
Its catalog includes films that have won an Academy Award, multi-award-winning and viral series such as Squid Gameor important products in Spanish such as The Money Heist Y Elite.
According to the latest information released by the firm itself, after reaching glory figures during the pandemic, it was announced that in the first quarter of 2022 it lost 200 thousand users, the strongest blow the company has received in a decade. Some causes of this collapse are the sharing of passwords and the growing competition.
However, that’s not all, as the streaming company estimates that it will lose two million accounts in the second quarter of 2022, so this year is expected to be the worst in its history.
How to make a Netflix party or Teleparty?
netflix partyalso know as telepartyhas become one of the most popular applications that has given the streaming platform a plus, as it has allowed users to see the same content at the same time with friends, partner or family even if they are not in the same space.
Created as a Google extension, this tool mixes the ability to stream simultaneously with a tray of text messageswhere participants can exchange their thoughts in real time.
Although this tool has not been developed as such by Netflix, just go to the Teleparty page and install google chrome extension. Once installed, you must open the account, play what you want to see and click on the Netflix Party (NP) icon that will turn red and then give the “start party” option that will provide a link that can be shared with more people to join.

Five Pohnpei State government officials, including the acting governor and the chair of the Pohnpei State COVID-19 Task Force, were arrested Thursday after passengers on a flight from Guam were forced to sleep in a hallway and lobby of a quarantine facility.
Pohnpei acting Gov. Christina Elnei; Norleen Oliver-DeOrio, chair of the Pohnpei COVID-19 Task Force; Patrick Carl, director of Public Safety; Patrick Pedrus, public information officer; and Peterson Sam, commissioner for the Pohnpei Public Broadcasting Corporation were charged before the Federated States of Micronesia Supreme Court for 200 counts of criminal violations that breached civil rights, according to court documents.
The charges are considered as a felony under national law: false imprisonment, multiple violations of emergency decrees and standard operating procedures for COVID-19 quarantine, and the intentional disabling of the medical monitoring area quarantine facility in Dekehtik.
A repatriation flight arrived early in the morning June 12. After being taken to quarantine in the former China Star Hotel, 46 passengers were placed in rooms, but 11 passengers “were instructed to rest/sleep together in the lobby and 13 passengers to rest/sleep together in the hallway,” court documents stated.
The FSM government argued Pohnpei's state government was anticipating the flight from Guam and that the Pohnpei State COVID-19 Task Force was instructed to not prepare a second medical monitoring area quarantine facility. This led to having no disinfection processes conducted, even though the medical monitoring area quarantine manager was allegedly ready and willing to do so, court documents state.
The Pohnpei State COVID-19 Task Force had four days to clean the medical monitoring area. The FSM government requires less that 24 hours to accomplish the task. The task force failed to clean the medical monitoring area, leaving the national government to assist. The cleaning took place during the time passengers from Guam were overcrowding the lobby of the facility, court documents state.
The five people were interrogated by the FSM national police and were detained. Elnei and Carl were later released by acting attorney general Judah Johnny.
They are set to appear in FSM Supreme Court Monday, according to documents. | https://www.guampdn.com/news/5-pohnpei-government-officials-arrested-over-quarantine-space/article_74ddcba4-eedd-11ec-88bb-0b40dbcb8a04.html | 2022-06-19T03:41:34Z | https://www.guampdn.com/news/5-pohnpei-government-officials-arrested-over-quarantine-space/article_74ddcba4-eedd-11ec-88bb-0b40dbcb8a04.html | false | 1 |
Which magnetic iPhone case is best?
When it comes to finding the ideal iPhone case, you should strongly consider purchasing one that comes equipped with magnetic capabilities as they offer many notable advantages. For example, a magnetic iPhone case and mount mean no more frantic scrabbling when your phone slips off your dashboard, as well as offering better overall protection and greater versatility for lovers of iPhone photography. With your iPhone securely housed by an attractive model like the CASEKOO Slim Fit Magnetic iPhone Case, you can enjoy a stylish appearance without paying an exorbitant amount.
What to know before you buy a magnetic iPhone case
Material
Since modern science has yet to grace the general public with rubber or glass capable of being magnetized, magnetic iPhone cases are made out of ferrous metal by sheer necessity. However, being made out of metal will make your magnetic iPhone case much more resistant to damage from shocks, accidental drops and even full submersion in water than their competition, despite adding some extra weight to your pocket.
Driving help
As alluded to above, despite the incredible convenience of having GPS on your iPhone 11, iPhone 12 or other iPhone models, keeping said phone both visible and safely secured can be a frustrating and even dangerous affair. Imagine no more fighting with a poorly-made plastic mount that keeps ejecting your phone, like a catapult, but instead locks firmly into place with minimal effort and remains there for the duration of your trip.
What to look for in a quality magnetic iPhone case
MagSafe-compatible
Since magnetic smartphone accessories are a fairly recent technological development, some people might be understandably concerned about entrusting their expensive mobile device to a case that might not work at all or could potentially and permanently damage said devices. Fortunately, any magnetic iPhone case or other accessories should have the MagSafe symbol, which resembles a circle of magnets, located in the products’ advertising images, description and inside the actual box. This symbol indicates that they are compliant with industry standards and are safe to use around your valuable electronic equipment.
Protective features
Before deciding on a particular type of magnetic iPhone case to buy, you should always determine the materials used in its construction and how well they will bear up to accidents and daily use. While purely metal iPhone cases are undoubtedly some of the strongest available, several magnetic iPhone cases use clear plastic and rubber materials. You should also check for features that have additional protection for your iPhone’s screen and lens, like camera cutouts and raised lips.
Manufacturer’s warranty
For those who like to take their iPhone for an outdoor adventure like rock climbing, dirt biking or even motorcycle riding, the last thing you want is to look in a rearview mirror to discover your magnetic iPhone case bouncing merrily behind you. If you plan on pushing your smartphone almost as hard as you push yourself, it is well worth selecting a magnetic iPhone case that offers additional means of securing your smartphone, just in case. In addition, some companies offer warranty protection for up to two years after you purchase your magnetic iPhone case, so don’t cheap out on a rugged model if you need it.
How much you can expect to spend on a magnetic iPhone case
Depending on the materials used and the features offered, a magnetic iPhone case can cost between $10-$30 or more.
Magnetic iPhone case FAQ
Will using a magnetic iPhone case mess up my phone in any way?
A. While certain apps rely heavily on detecting magnetic frequencies, minor issues like that can be quickly resolved by simply popping the phone out of the case for a brief time.
Why should I buy a magnetic iPhone case over a regular one?
A. They offer superior levels of protection while providing users with much greater utility and functionality in their everyday lives.

Scottish dads and stepdads – stern, hilarious and always there when you need a wee hand.
Doubling up as the role of banker, personal driver and dispensers of wit, wisdom and the occasional telling-off, they always loomed large in our lives.
Enforcers of the law (which was often laid down by your mum), they always think their cheesy jokes are the funniest around, and they were often the biggest kids in the family.
From scathing rebukes that would cut you down to size, to whole paragraphs of advice expertly summed up in just a sentence or two, here are just some of the phrases you'll remember if you grew up with a Scottish dad or stepdad.
Turn the big light off it's like Blackpool Illuminations in here – Is referring to the main light in the living room 'the big light' a purely Scottish phenomenon? We aren't sure, but spend any time in the home of any Scottish dad and you'll definitely hear it.
Were you born in a park? – This is their subtle way of telling you to shut the door behind and don't leave it open.
Yer bum’s oot the windae/Yer arse is parsley – You are full of it, usually said in response to an excuse for being out late or doing something you shouldn't.
Do you honestly think I'm made of money? – Whenever you needed to borrow anything from as little as a quid to £50, this was the standard response.
You are a wee chancer! – Don't push your luck.
You're on a shoogly peg/dicing wae death/cruising for a bruising – You're pushing it too far.
Away an gie's peace – "I've had enough of you beat it."
Have you asked the High Heid Yin? – When you ask him for permission and he refers you back to whatever your mother's answer was.
Yer a lang time deid – Life is short so try to enjoy it.
Is the budgie deid? – Usually means your trousers are too short for your legs - as in at half-mast.
Your face is tripping you – You look like you are in a bad mood, lighten up.
I'm off to see a man about a dug – This translates as "I'm going out and it's none of your business where I'm going".
Don't talk mince – Don't talk rubbish
I've been scooting aboot like a burst pipe aw day – A typically colourful expression meaning they've had a busy day.
Ma heid's up ma arse - "I've no clue what I'm doing at this point to be honest."
Hawl! Would you steal my grave as quick? – Usually said when he found you in his favourite seat.
Whit a stramash – Usually said when greeting any disaster from a bit of a mess through to bits of the house falling down.
He couldnae hit a coo's erse wi' a barn door – Anytime your dad happened to be watching any sport.
See you! You're an absolute bloody nae user – If you ever did anything wrong, this is what you'd be hit with.
Doric spikkin dads:
Fit a loon/quine! - "You are some boy/girl", usually said genuinely, with exasperation or mostly dripping with sarcasm.
I’m fair trauchled - "I’m exhausted".
Dinna you fash yersel – "Don't trouble yourself", If you weren't moving quick enough to help him, you'd usually hear this.
Far hiv ye bin? – “Where have you been?”, usually said when he's been waiting up for you to get home after a late one.
Yi nickum loon/quine! - An expression you'd often hear if you were being a pest.
Am Black Affrontit – Whenever you do something they dub embarrassing.
Watter made waur – This is what they'd call weak tea whenever you didn't make it strong enough for them.
Michty Me! – You'll have heard this regularly anytime something annoyed your dad.
The tatties ower the dyke – Whenever something went a bit pear shaped.
Ah've seen A'athing noo – Whenever you did something new to get into trouble, he'd say this.
Fit a stooshie aboot naething – If someone was making a mountain out of a molehill, your dad would be on hand to cut them down.

FATHER’S DAY 2022: The contribution of fathers to their child’s life is unparalleled. While the love and emotions of the mother are often recognised, the caring side of the father often is shadowed by their strict exterior. And to celebrate this love and sacrifice, Father’s day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June as a day dedicated to fatherhood.

The bonding between father and child has often featured in our cinema. And on this Father’s day, we list the top five songs that should definitely feature in your playlist
Papa Kehte Hain (Qayamat se Qayamat Tak)
The iconic ‘Papa Kehte Hain’ from Aamir khan’s debut Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak definitely has to be on the top of our list. The song that established Aamir as a chocolate boy featured him describing the nervous feeling of a fresh graduate who is set to start a new journey after finishing college. The song achieved cult status in years to come and continues to be popular after three decades of its release. Crooned by Udit Narayan, the song features lyrics from Majrooh Sultanpuri and the music from Anand Milind.
O, I Love You, Daddy (Akele Hum Akele Tum)
Interestingly enough, this song about the bond between a father and son is crooned by a father-son duo, Udit and Aditya Narayan. The song picturised on Aamir Khan and child artist Adil Rizvi perfectly depicts the bond between the onscreen father-son duo and makes up an important part of the film’s plotline
Dilbaro (Raazi)
The song, featuring Alia Bhatt and her on-screen father Rajit Kapur, depicts the emotion of every father-daughter duo. Composed by the trio of Shankar Ehsaan Loy, Dilbaro, from the 2018 release Raazi, features the vocals of Harshdeep Kaur, Shankar Mahadevan and Vibha Saraf.
Pitah Se Hai Naam Tera (Boss)
The bond between a father and son is often less talked about, however, this song from Boss perfectly captures the intensity of emotion between them. Featuring Akshay Kumar and his onscreen father Pitah Se Hai Naam Tera has been crooned by Sonu Nigam and Meet Bros.
Papa Mere Papa (Mai Aisa Hi Hu)
A father is the superhero of every daughter and Papa Mere Papa from Mai Aisa Hi Hoon perfectly captures this emotion. The song has vocals from Sonu Nigam Shreya Ghoshal and Baby Aparna.

It was a game of set-piece finishes that toggled back and forth between India and the already-determined FIH Pro League champions, Argentina, on neutral territory in Rotterdam. India showed fantastic patience and execution to match the speed and unpredictably of the Leonas.
India celebrated taking Argentina to a 3-3 tie in regulation time and then finishing in style, earning the bonus point with a 2-1 win in the shootout. It was a dual celebration for India as Neha celebrated her 100th international after the game.
As it happened: Neeraj wins Kuortane javelin event, thrilling draws for India men & women in hockey
A brilliant over the shoulder deflection from Lalremsiani opened the scoring for the game and for India in the fourth minute of play. Argentina were able to draw level in the second quarter on an Agustina Gorzelany penalty corner flick that ricocheted off the Indian post player’s stick and up into the mesh. Gorzelany put away two more from set pieces in the third quarter, first from a penalty stroke and then from a slick corner routine.
India played catch up tying the game 2-2 on a deceptive penalty corner flick from Kaur Gurjit in the 37th minute and then the tying third goal came off a rocket from an off-set battery execution in the 51st. The late goal sent the game to what would be Argentina’s third-straight shootout following their last two shootout losses to the Netherlands.
The Leonas struggled to execute in the shootout as Julieta Jankunas’ shot hit the back of her stick and bobbled wide, while Maria Granatto uncharacteristically lost control of the ball before even mustering a shot.
Rocio Sanchez’s shot couldn’t beat Indian keeper Savita between the legs and Victoria Granatto was the only Leona to find the back of the net. Meanwhile, India showed class and flair as Neha and Sonika were able to calmly beat Belen Succi in the Argentina goal and secure the extra point for coach Janneke Schopman’s side.
“We did really good and are all playing very well,” said India’s Lalremsiani, named Player of the Match after her brilliant deflection goal in the game. “It’s not easy to win over Argentina because they are a good team. I am proud of our performance. We played as a team and played together, helping each other and we had a good effort as a team so I’m really happy with that.”
Both teams will dual again on Sunday at HC Rotterdam for the second of their double-header FIH Pro League match up. | https://scroll.in/field/1026462/fih-pro-league-savita-punia-led-india-clinch-shootout-bonus-after-3-3-draw-vs-toppers-argentina | 2022-06-19T04:35:13Z | https://scroll.in/field/1026462/fih-pro-league-savita-punia-led-india-clinch-shootout-bonus-after-3-3-draw-vs-toppers-argentina | true | 2 |
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Lucas Cavallini and Deiber Caicedo scored as the Vancouver Whitecaps made the most of their opportunities in a 2-0 win over Dallas on Saturday.
Vancouver (6-8-2) never trailed after Cavallini's goal gave the Whitecaps the early lead in the second minute and Caicedo made it 2-0 in the 44th minute.
Dallas (7-4-4) outshot the Whitecaps 12-4, with one shot on goal to three for the Whitecaps.
Cody Cropper saved the only shot he faced for the Whitecaps. Maarten Paes saved one of three for Dallas.
The Whitecaps play at home on Sunday against the New England Revolution. Dallas will visit Austin on Saturday.
To recognize the Juneteenth holiday players from both teams wore specially designed jersey numbers. All MLS teams are wearing the “Freedom to Be” jersey numbers this weekend in a collaboration among MLS, the league’s 28 clubs and Black Players for Change, an independent organization of Black MLS players, coaches, and staff working to bridge the racial equality gap in soccer and society.

Buffett’s Last Lunch Auction Draws Record $19 Million Bid
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Warren Buffett has cemented his legacy as one of the most expensive lunch guests of all time.
The winning bid in a benefit auctioning off a chance to dine with the billionaire investor clocked in at $19 million, according to the Ebay listing, securing an anonymous bidder and up to seven guests a meal with the Berkshire Hathaway Inc. chairman and chief executive officer at Smith & Wollensky in New York.
The auction to raise money for San Francisco-based charity Glide opened Sunday with a starting price of $25,000. By Monday, bids crept past $2 million. The competition took a sharp turn Friday, the last day of bidding, with one potential diner placing an $11 million bid that sparked a costly tug-of-war. A final-minute bid lifted the eventual price to $19 million.
The whopping sum easily surpassed the previous record set by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun, who paid $4.57 million to win the auction in 2019. The event wasn’t held in 2020 or 2021 because of the pandemic.
The auction’s biggest-ever year will also be its last. Since it started in 2000, the benefit has raised more than $53 million to support Glide, which offers programs to address poverty and homelessness, particularly in San Francisco.
Winning bids across the years have come from financial figures like hedge fund manager David Einhorn. Ted Weschler bid more than $5 million combined over two auctions before Berkshire hired him as an investment manager.

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has pointed out that Shreyas Iyer has struggled a little against bowlers with extra pace in the ongoing T20I series against South Africa. Pathan said that while Shreyas is comfortable against spin and medium pace, he gets unsettled against genuine fast bowling.
Iyer had a brilliant run with the bat in the T20I series against Sri Lanka, but he has failed to make much of an impact in the ongoing South Africa series. Notably, he has managed scores of 36, 40, 14, and 4 in the four T20Is against South Africa.
"Yes obviously, he has struggled against pace, not only in this series but in quite a few matches (before that). Even in the IPL, we have seen that when it comes to fast bowlers who are bowling 140-plus, he has struggled a little. His strike rate has also gone down," Pathan told Star Sports.
"He likes to play against spinners and if you are bowling less than 140 kph, he is very much comfortable. But the one area of his game he needs to improve is facing the fast bowlers, especially when the ball comes close to his shoulders," Pathan added.
Irfan backed Shreyas, saying that he is a brilliant batter who has grabbed his opportunities very well in recent times.
“As far as his first-class cricket is concerned, he averages over 50. He is a brilliant batter and he has performed really well. As much as he has got a chance of batting at No. 3, he has played his part. His numbers are really good, especially in the last few months, for India as well.”
Shreyas will look to make an impact in the deciding T20I against South Africa, which will be played in Bengaluru on Sunday (June 19). | https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cricket/story/ind-vs-sa-shreyas-iyer-likes-to-play-against-spinners-but-has-struggled-against-pace-says-irfan-pathan-1964141-2022-06-19 | 2022-06-19T04:48:53Z | https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cricket/story/ind-vs-sa-shreyas-iyer-likes-to-play-against-spinners-but-has-struggled-against-pace-says-irfan-pathan-1964141-2022-06-19 | false | 1 |

LOS ANGELES – Dodgers star Mookie Betts is headed to the injured list with a cracked right rib.
Manager Dave Roberts announced Betts' diagnosis after Saturday's 7-1 victory over Cleveland. The 2018 AL MVP is tied for third in the majors with 53 runs scored and has 17 home runs, which is tied for fourth in the NL.
The Dodgers are 29-7 when he scores a run.
“It’s certainly a big blow to all of us, but knowing and having the information at least there is solace in that,” Roberts said. “A week from now, we'll know more. Hopefully we can get him back sooner than later.”
Betts was injured during the first inning of Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Angels when he collided with Cody Bellinger in the outfield on a fly ball. Betts played the rest of that game but was scratched from the lineup the past two days.
Roberts said Betts couldn't get loosened up. An X-ray on Friday was negative, but an MRI on Saturday revealed the crack.
The Dodgers are already without starting pitchers Walker Buehler, Andrew Heaney and Dustin May due to injuries.
“I don't want to reference Murphy's Law but it has been that way. You have to keep moving on. It's a long season,” Roberts said.

Nick Kyrgios has lost a thrilling Halle Open semi-final, edged out in three sets by Hubert Hurkacz 4-6 7-6(2) 7-6(4).
A wildcard coming into the tournament, the Australian was unable to book a ticket to the final, losing the last two sets via tiebreak.
Despite Kyrgios serving 30 aces, his Polish opponent went toe-to-toe, making 27 of his own.
Hurkacz was also able to minimise his double faults - making just one compared to Kyrgios' seven - and kept his composure during both tiebreaks.

— ATP Tour (@atptour) June 18, 2022
After impressive consecutive wins against Pablo Carreño Busta and Stefanos Tsitsipas, Kyrgios was in arguably his best singles form of 2022 leading into the semi-final.
However, he is set to narrowly miss out on seeding for this year's Wimbledon tournament.
A win against Hurkacz would have pushed him to approximately 36-37 in the ATP rankings, and therefore into the top 32 for Wimbledon (after the exclusion of Russian and Belarusian players, who are banned from the tournament).
Kyrgios will now be randomly placed in the draw at the All England Club.
With a strong record on grass, he will likely be an unwanted opponent for any seeded player.
Nick Kyrgios will be unseeded at Wimbledon. Bad news for him and for pretty much everybody.
— José Morgado (@josemorgado) June 18, 2022
Following an outburst in his Halle Open round of 16 match against Stefanos Tsitsipas, the 27-year-old was relatively calm this time around.
However, the match against Hurkacz wasn't entirely without controversy.
Early in the second set, a ballkid stumbled whilst picking up a first-serve fault from Kyrgios.
After going on to lose the point, Kyrgios then directed his frustration at the ballkid, despite making his second serve.
"You put me off," he told the ballkid.
"Run properly, please."
Kyrgios will now head to Spain, where he will play Laslo Đere in the round of 32 at the Mallorca Open.
It is set to be his final tournament before Wimbledon, which begins on June 27. | https://www.sportingnews.com/au/tennis/news/nick-kyrgios-falls-short-halle-open-semi-final-set-miss-out-wimbledon-seeding/rntz3mhtjxddngxovwmqr8nu | 2022-06-19T05:01:25Z | https://www.sportingnews.com/au/tennis/news/nick-kyrgios-falls-short-halle-open-semi-final-set-miss-out-wimbledon-seeding/rntz3mhtjxddngxovwmqr8nu | false | 1 |

VCK, Cong demand withdrawal of Agnipath scheme
By IANS | Published: June 19, 2022 10:09 AM2022-06-19T10:09:03+5:302022-06-19T10:20:07+5:30

Chennai, June 19 Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) President K.S. Alagiri has demanded the rollback of the Central government's Agnipath scheme for the military recruitment.
The senior Congress leader in a statement on Sunday said that the scheme was dangerous and that there was no guarantee for job security. He said that it was an ill-conceived scheme, which was being proposed when there was tension at the borders of the country which requires skilled persons to handle.
K.S. Alagiri in the statement said that the personnel will not be able to work with commitment when there is no job security.
In another statement, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader, Thol Thirumavalavan demanded the government to withdraw the scheme with immediate effect. He said that continuing with the scheme would bring a revolt in the country leading to the Narendra Modi government's downfall in 2024 general elections.
Thol Thirumavalan in the statement called upon the BJP to keep up its promise of providing 2 crore jobs every year.
Dravidar Kazhagam also came out against the Agnipath scheme and its leader, K. Veeramani in a separate statement called upon the Union government to continue with the present situation of 15 years permanent commission and pension.
He called upon the Union government to give up its adamant stand and to review the scheme.
Several states across the country are witnessing violent protests, including the southern states like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala. In a police shooting case at Secunderabad, a young job aspirant who had qualified for the military written examination, lost his life.
The protests have led to the police crackdown taking into custody more than 1,000 people and action has been taken against some coaching centres for instigating the students.

Britain’s heatwave is coming to an abrupt end as temperatures are set to drop today before more thunder rolls in.
People across the country had been enjoying scorching temperatures over the weekend and they peaked at 32.7°C on Friday.
The UK Health Security Agency issued a level two alert for southern and central England, warning people the heat could affect their health.
But parts of the country were hit by thundery showers last night and more rain is forecast for this evening. People in parts of the south were late last night told to stay indoors if possible to avoid a “huge cluster” of thunderstorms.
The Met Office said most of the country can expect dry but cloudy conditions, with some sunny spells for most of the day and temperatures of just over 20°C.
But heavy rain is then expected to sweep across southern England this evening.
Met Office presenter Simon Partridge said: “It’s a mainly dry and bright start to the day on Sunday.
“There’s always a risk of seeing some showery rain across the southern coasts of England. Showers across Northern Ireland and Scotland will ease throughout the day and elsewhere it will be mostly dry, with plenty of sunny spells around.
“In that, temperatures will be getting up to the low 20s and it will feel quite pleasant.
“That will continue as we head through into the evening, when we will see more in the way of sunny spells.
"But we will see further showery rain start to push its way into southern and south western England on Sunday night, bringing the risk of the odd rumble of thunder."
UK forecast for the next 5 days
Today:
A little rain affecting southern England at first and again later. Cloudy at first in the north with some light showers. Otherwise, dry with broken cloud and sunny spells, and feeling fairly warm.
Monday:
Dry with plenty of warm sunshine and light winds in most places. Turning cloudy across the far northwest with some light rain or drizzle.
Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:
Cloudy in the northwest with some light rain or drizzle, but turning drier and brighter from Wednesday. Dry elsewhere with plenty of warm sunshine.

ISKP owns Gurudwara attack in Kabul, hypes up casualties
The Islamic State Khorasan Province on Sunday claimed the responsibility for the attack on a Sikh temple in Afghanistan that killed one community member and a Taliban fighter, saying it was a retaliation for insults against the Prophet Muhammad. However, in their statement, they exaggerated the figures and claimed 50 Hindus, Sikhs and Taliban were killed in the attack. Also Read: Curious case of ISKP emir Aslam Farooqui and Pak links
ISKP has been rising in Afghanistan after the indiscriminate release of terrorists from the prison last year when US forces exited Afghanistan. The ISKP, which is totally opposed to the existence of any minority including Shia, Hindus, Christians, Ahmadis, has umbilical links with the Pakistani deep state, as evident from the statement of Mawlawi Abudullah aka Aslam Farooqui, the former chief of the ISKP to the Afghan National Directorate of Security, after Farooqui was arrested in 2020. During interrogation, Farooqui was understood to have laid bare links of ISKP with Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence.
The Gurdwara attack also reveals the rising radicalisation in the Af-Pak region with the Taliban regime unable to contain these Islamic jihadis.
Repugnant: Reactions from Pakistan, Taliban, Afghanistan's NRF
The Gurdwara attack drew severe criticism from world leaders with the United Nations Assistance Mission tweeting that the attacks on civilians should be stopped immediately. Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid released a statement condemning the attack and expressing condolences while assuring the Sikh community of action against the perpetrators.
Pakistan's Special Representative for Afghanistan Mohammad Sadiq said Pakistan was seriously concerned at the recent spate of terrorist attacks on places of worship in Afghanistan. He added that these acts of terrorism targeting religious places were utterly repugnant.
Harjinder Singh, president of SGPC Amritsar, has written an email to the PMO to ensure the safety and security of Sikhs /Hindus in Afghanistan.
Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai called for the start of a national dialogue to establish long-term peace and stability, and pleaded for the country to be saved from suffering through the unity of all Afghans while Dr Abdullah Abdullah said, “I strongly condemn today’s heinous & cowardly terrorist attack on our Sikh community Gurdwara in Karta-e-Parwan".
Anarkali Hunaryar, former Hindu lawmaker in the upper House of Afghan Parliament, during the previous government, reacted on her Twitter account and said, "Sikhs were targeted because of the new relationship between Afghanistan and India".
NRF Spokesperson Sebghatullah Ahmadi denounced the attack and said that such attacks on mosques, places of worship and public facilities are a method of "Taliban occupied forces to assert that they rule by force". "Can't find lethal enough words to express condemnation of the heinous terrorist attack against the Gurdwara in Kabul, targetting peaceful Sikh citizens of Afghanistan with ISI backed HQN ruling Kabul & LeT/Jaishroaming free, a fair investigation can't be expected. Attack has all the hallmarks of HQN". | https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/iskp-owns-gurudwara-attack-in-kabul-hypes-up-casualties-101655613380516-amp.html | 2022-06-19T05:47:55Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/iskp-owns-gurudwara-attack-in-kabul-hypes-up-casualties-101655613380516-amp.html | true | 1 |
Triadelphia, W, Va. (WTRF) – Several Ohio Valley teams took part in the event.
Late in the second half, Harrison Central put on an aerial assault to make it 62-25 Huskies.
Park would answer with a long ball of their own. However, it wasn’t doing much for the scoreboard but it made it a 62-28 game.
The Pats still tried to rally. Another long ball came in from Ryan Doyle. The Huskies crashed the boards to come down with some second chance points to make it 81-66 Harrison Central and the team held on for the win.
Quinton Burlinski hit a three early to give the maroon team an early lead. John Marshall’s Cody Hartman also hit a three to keep the Monarchs within ten points.
Burlinski continued to stroke the three ball in the half as the Knights pulled away. For JM, Roman Gray showed up some elusive post moves and got the lay-up to go. The Monarchs came up well short and lost 73-30.
Magnolia took on Pittsburgh’s Mount Lebanon.
JD Mensore stroked it from the arc in the first half. The Blue Dons wanted to keep the momentum and Hayden Miles drove in to get the hoop plus the harm. That made it a 29-28 contest.
Jordan Gilbert made a heads up play for Magnolia after seeing an opening and driving in to finish with the layup. Mount Lebanon, though, earned the victory 70-52.
J.D. Battista and Bellaire took on the white Wheeling Central Catholic team in its first game.
Von Croll fought through some traffic for Central Catholic in the first half and converted. Trey Dunn also got it done from long range but the Knights still trailed by four early against the Big Reds.
Dom Janjanelli also contributed from the wing to keep the Knights in the game. The Big Reds were no good on a jumper but Khalil Kimbro slapped in a rebound.
The Knights Eli Dean came through with another three but it would not be enough a Bellaire won a close game 68-64.
Linsly took on Nelsonville – York in one of its games.
It was all Cadets; in the second half, Raymond Kovaleski drove and used his body to draw contact and a trip to the stripe.
The Cadets poured it on. Gavin Jackson made it 80-50 from long range. He buried another 3 soon after to really make the game out of reach; 83-52.
The Cadets shot the lights out and won big over the Buckeyes 86-59.
“So far, I think we did a great job communicating on defense and then also boxing out and getting rebounds. We’re so big this year and I try to emphasize rebound and out-rebounding the teams we play especially on the offensive end,” 1st-Year Harrison Central coach Aaron Foldei said.
“I mean, I’m a defensive guy and I’m always talking defense whether its getting in the right position but, you know, I think every defensive possession we stress that it’s got to end with defensive rebounds. I think if you can rebound the ball especially on the defensive end and limit team’s chances, that helps your chances,” Wheeling Central Catholic coach Mel Stephens said. | https://www.wtrf.com/sports/day-1-complete-of-shootout-in-the-valley/ | 2022-06-19T05:48:42Z | https://www.wtrf.com/sports/day-1-complete-of-shootout-in-the-valley/ | true | 1 |
Actress Sandra Bullock has talked about her hiatus from movie screens.
In a new interview, the actress portraying Loretta Sage in ‘The Lost City’ doesn’t know how long her break from acting will last, reports aceshowbiz.com.
Bullock said she is “so burnt out and tired” that she needs to take a hiatus from filming but is unsure of when she will return.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: “I don’t want to be beholden to anyone’s schedule other than my own. I’m so burnt out. I’m so tired, and I’m so not capable of making healthy, smart decisions and I know it.”
When asked how long the break will last, she replied: “I really don’t know.”
She later admitted that she has relied on work as a “crutch” and needs to take a step back.
“Work has always been steady for me, and I’ve been so lucky. I saw it possibly was becoming my crutch. It was like opening up a fridge all the time and looking for something that was never in the fridge,” she said.
“I said to myself, ‘Stop looking for it here because it doesn’t exist here. You already have it; establish it, find it and be OK not having work to validate you’. “
And Sandra says producing ‘The Lost City’ with Liza Chasin was a great way to “go out with a bang”.
“I love working with artists, and that’s why Liza and I were very well-matched. If I’m going out with a bang, I want to go out with the right person.”

New Delhi [India], June 19 (ANI): As protests against the Centre's Agnipath scheme continue in several parts of the country, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is scheduled to hold a meeting at his residence on Sunday.
Sources said the tri-service chiefs are expected to attend the meeting and discuss the rollout of the scheme and ways to pacify agitators. This is the second such meeting called by Rajnath Singh in two days.

In a significant move, the Ministry of Home Affairs on Saturday announced an important decision to reserve 10 per cent vacancies in Central Armed Police Forces and Assam Rifles for Agniveers.
In a series of tweets, the Ministry of Home Affairs said, "The Ministry of Home Affairs decides to reserve 10 per cent vacancies for recruitment in CAPFs and Assam Rifles for Agniveers."

"The MHA also decides to give 3 years age relaxation beyond the prescribed upper age limit to Agniveers for recruiting in CAPFs and Assam Rifles. Further, for the first batch of Agniveer, the age relaxation will be for 5 years beyond the prescribed upper age limit," the MHA added.
It is pertinent to note that, upon completion of their four years tenure, Agniveers will be getting selection priorities under CAPF's all the seven different security forces comprising Assam Rifles (AR), Border Security Forces (BSF), Central Industrial Security Forces (CISF), Central Reserve Police Forces (CRPF), Indo Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), National Security Guard (NSG) and Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB).
Earlier speaking of the employment opportunities for Agniveers, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that upon completion of four years of Agniveers many central ministers and state governments including Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and corporations will give them job priorities.
"In coming days you will get the announcement by various governments and ministries regarding the priority in job opportunities to Agniveers," the Defence Minister added.
Earlier, in a welcome move, the government had announced a change in recruiting 'Agniveers', increasing the maximum entry age from 21 years to 23 years by giving two years of relaxation as a one-time waiver. Granting a one-time waiver, the Union government declared that the Agniveer upper age limit for recruitments via Agnipath Scheme has been extended to 23 years from 21 years.
Issuing an official statement on Agnipath Scheme, the Ministry of Defence mentioned that the one-time waiver in the upper age limit has been granted as recruitment during the two years had not been possible. (ANI)

Zurich [Switzerland], June 19 (ANI): FIFA has published an independent report to coincide with the United Nations International Day for Countering Hate Speech on Saturday, highlighting the increasing degree of abuse directed at footballers across social media platforms during international tournaments.
With FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 beginning in five months' time, FIFA will work with FIFPRO - the worldwide representative organisation for professional footballers - to coordinate and implement a plan on how to protect participating teams, players, officials, and supporters from abuse on social media during its international tournaments.

The newly-released report, which used artificial intelligence to track over 400,000 posts on social media platforms during the semi-finals and finals stage of two international competitions (UEFA EURO 2020 and African Cup of Nations 2021), has identified that over 50% of players received some form of discriminatory abuse, with much of that abuse coming from the players' home nation.
Homophobic (40%) and racist (38%) comments provided the majority of the abuse, much of which remains published to the accounts in which it was originally directed.
In response, FIFA and FIFPRO 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.
Although the offending message remains visible to the person who originally made the comment, its visibility and reach will be significantly reduced.
The report also highlights that 90% of accounts flagged by the study as having published these abusive comments have a high probability of identification, and as hidden comments will remain privately visible to FIFA and FIFPRO - it also means that such account activity could be escalated to the relevant social platform(s) and law enforcement authorities so further action could be taken.

Defendant's degree of psychosis argued at Times Square trial
A man accused of using his car to mow down people in Times Square made a deliberate choice to leave a path of death and destruction there in the spring of 2017, a prosecutor said Wednesday in closing arguments at a New York City trial that’s put an insanity defense to the test.
An attorney for Richard Rojas countered by calling his client a “lunatic” who was so mentally ill, it was impossible for him to know what he was doing that day.
Rojas, 31, is fighting murder, assault and other charges in an attack that killed a teen girl from Michigan, injured more than 20 other people and spread panic at the popular tourist destination. If a jury finds him guilty, it must also decide whether or not he “lacked responsibility by reason of mental disease or defect.”
The trial, which began in state court in Manhattan early last month, has featured testimony from victims who suffered grisly injuries from what prosecutors labeled “a horrific, depraved act.” On the defense side, family members testified how Rojas’ mental health took a steep dive after he was kicked out of the Navy in 2014.
In his closing, prosecutor Alfred Peterson conceded that Rojas was having a psychotic episode, including hearing voices, at the time of the rampage. But Peterson argued Rojas showed he wasn’t entirely detached from reality by maneuvering his vehicle onto the sidewalk and driving with precision for three blocks until he crashed.
“The defendant made a decision that day,” the prosecutor said. “He made a choice. … He went to the ‘crossroads of the world,’ a high profile place where everyone knows there’s lots and lots of people.”
Once there, he was “in full control of his car,” he added.
Defense Attorney Enrico DeMarco told jurors that “there should be no doubt” that his client met the legal standard for an insanity finding. The evidence, the lawyer said, showed Rojas “lacked a substantial capacity to know what he was doing was wrong” because of an underlying illness — schizophrenia, as diagnosed by a defense psychiatrist.
DeMarco played a videotape in the courtroom of Rojas jumping out of his car after crashing it into a sidewalk stanchion. Rojas could be heard yelling, “What happened? … Oh my God, what happened?” as he was being subdued, and be seen banging his head on the ground.
Rojas “was a lunatic,” the attorney said. “He lost his mind.”
DeMarco challenged police accounts Rojas told a traffic agent in the aftermath, “I wanted to kill them all. Just kill me too,” calling it a fabrication meant to give some semblance of a motive to a senseless act.
There will be a break in the trial until Tuesday, when deliberations are expected to begin.

Lucy Mecklenburgh and Ryan Thomas reveal they’ve finally named their baby daughter nearly three weeks after her birth
LUCY Mecklenburgh and Ryan Thomas have finally named their baby daughter three weeks after the little girl’s birth.
Lucy, 30, shared the news on Instagram today during a Q&A with fans after admitting they were finding it "really difficult" to name their newborn.
One person asked the ex Towie star: "Have you named her yet?"
“We have!!!!!!!!” the reality star replied.
She said fans won’t have long to wait to find out the moniker, and teased: "I'll post her name later x".
In the same Q&A Lucy revealed her daughter was born with tongue tie.
The condition, where there's a shorter strip of skin connecting the baby's tongue to the bottom of the mouth, is relatively common.
Speaking about breastfeeding the tot, Lucy, who is also mum to two-year-old Roman, admitted: "It’s quite full on.
"She feeds a lot, and I don’t think she seemed satisfied and we discovered she had a tongue tie.
"So we had it cut and I’m hoping her feeding improves and becomes more efficient.
Most read in TV
"Also I’m working on her latch as it’s not great. I think the hardest part is not being able to give Roman all my attention when I’m spending lots of time feeding."
Speaking about the birth the former Towie star previously told her followers their daughter was born seven days after her due date and weighed 8lbs 7.
Lucy and Ryan met when they were both starring in Channel 4 reality series, The Island with Bear Grylls.
The couple got engaged two years later while on holiday in Italy.
Their nuptials have been put on the back burner since welcoming their son, with Lucy joking they don't have time to organise it. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/tv/9034121/lucy-mecklenburgh-ryan-thomas-baby-name-birth/ | 2022-06-19T06:29:22Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/tv/9034121/lucy-mecklenburgh-ryan-thomas-baby-name-birth/ | true | 3 |

Kabul Gurudwara terror attack: Govt grants e-visas to over 100 Sikhs and Hindus on priority
In the latest targeted attack on a Sikh place of worship in the war-torn country, terrorists entered Gurdwara Karte Parwan in Kabul's Bagh-e Bala neighbourhood early Saturday morning, killing two people.
Following a terrorist attack on a gurdwara in Kabul on Saturday, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) granted over 100 Sikhs and Hindus in Afghanistan e-visas on priority, following the government sources on Sunday.
In the latest targeted attack on a Sikh place of worship in the war-torn country, terrorists entered Gurdwara Karte Parwan in Kabul's Bagh-e Bala neighbourhood early Saturday morning, killing two people, including a Sikh, and wounded seven others.
Terrorists and Taliban fighters engaged in a multi-hour shootout, according to the Interior Ministry.
The Taliban fighters killed the three attackers, according to news reports.
Afghan security officers intercepted an explosive-laden car trying to strike the location before reaching the minority community's house of worship, according to the Interior Ministry.
When the gurdwara was attacked early in the morning, at least 30 people were inside.
"First, the gunmen tossed a hand grenade near the gurdwara's gate, causing a fire," an Interior Ministry spokesman told the AP.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the "barbaric" terrorist attack and said he was praying for the safety and well-being of the devotees.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the 'barbaric' terrorist attack on Saturday, saying he was praying for the worshippers' safety and well-being.
The Minister of External Affairs, S Jaishankar, also denounced the 'cowardly attack' on the gurdwara and stated that the government was actively monitoring the situation following the tragedy.
"Everyone should strongly condemn the despicable attack on Gurdwara Karte Parwan. Since learning of the attack, we've been carefully monitoring the situation. Our first and greatest concern is for the community's well-being," Jaishankar sent out a tweet.
"We are gravely concerned about reports from Kabul that a precious Gurdwara in that city was attacked. We're keeping a close eye on the issue and waiting for more information on what's going on," the Ministry of External Affairs spokeswoman also took to Twitter.
As of far, no terror group has claimed credit for the attack.

It’s a crying shame that director Baz Luhrmann didn’t film his Elvis biopic in Memphis, instead recreating Presley’s hometown in a studio in Australia. Because Memphis already looks like a readymade stage-set, perfectly preserved, as if just waiting for the young rockabilly to swagger back into town. Which is great news for music lovers, because while Luhrmann chose to replicate Memphis’ neon-lit diners, rootsy recording studios and rags-to-riches homes, visitors seeking the original locations will find them ready and waiting in this nostalgic Southern city.
Touching down in Memphis on the banks of the Mississippi River, my first stop is the Lauderdale Courts apartment that lifted the Presley’s out of poverty when Elvis and
his parents first arrived here, fresh out of small-town Mississippi and in search of a better life. Fortunately, they swiftly found it when they moved into this pioneering
redbrick complex, heralded as one of America’s first public housing projects. The wonder of this five-room apartment, where Elvis lived between the tender years
of 13 to 17, is that fans can now sleep overnight in the teen idol’s bedroom. Lovingly restored to its former mid-century glory, the flat now dons the crown of being the only
Presley-owned property in the world to offer fans overnight visits. At a cost of $250 per night, guests have access to two double bedrooms, a living room stocked with
Jailhouse Rock and Viva Las Vegas films to watch on the small-screen, a kitchen with vintage appliances and a retro bathroom boasting its original tub.
Stepping inside Elvis’ bedroom sanctuary, the walls are decorated with hot-pink lipstick kisses; a lingering reminder of the parade of fans who pay $10 each for a
walk-through tour during his birth week in January and his death week in August.
Leaning out over the window ledge where Elvis once perched to practice his guitar, I soak up the sound of passing freight trains before adding my own imprint to his
storied bedroom wall.
Following Elvis’ American Dream trajectory, I head across town to pay my respects at his beloved Graceland mansion. It’s now been 45 years since Elvis passed away
in the upstairs bathroom of his palatial home, but astonishingly, Graceland still holds such universal intrigue that it remains the second most visited private home in the
US.
My self-guided tour of his more-is-more castle leads me downstairs into the basement, where three TV sets are lined up as Elvis liked to watched them all simultaneously, below a disco-tastic mirrored ceiling. The crescendo of the tour is the fantastic Jungle Room; a slice of pure Polynesian paradise transported to Memphis, with green shagpile carpeting splashed across the floor and ceiling and a fake indoor waterfall flowing freely down the far wall.
Graceland’s house tours once culminated with a reflective moment at Elvis’ grave in the meditation garden, but in recent years the estate has evolved to now include a
$45-million entertainment complex. Here, you’ll find museums showcasing Elvis’ impressive fleet of cars, extensive wardrobe of sharp threads and a cluster of
restaurants serving up down-home dishes.
A short wiggle from the complex there’s another new addition; the 450-room Guesthouse at Graceland resort, where I check in for the night to be greeted by the
house band giving a raucous rendition of Heartbreak Hotel in the lobby. While dedicated Elvis fans will find much to love here, with nightly Presley film screenings,
jumpsuit artworks on the wall and complimentary peanut butter and jelly snacks, it’s also an equally good spot for the uninitiated, with comfortable guestrooms and a
sparkling, turquoise pool for cooling off when Memphis’ weather gets balmy.
The next morning, following a breakfast of kings at the Arcade Restaurant, a gorgeously photogenic diner once frequented by Elvis, I make my way to Sun Studio.
This historic recording studio launched the careers of legends such as B.B. King, Howlin’ Wolf, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and of course Elvis, when he cut his
game-changing hit, That’s All Right in 1954. Nowadays, cool young musicians lead the tours, culminating with a photo-op holding Elvis’ original chrome microphone.
Not only can visitors walk in Elvis’ footsteps, but they can also still speak to the people who knew him personally, as I discover on a visit to the Lansky Bros. shop,
situated in the grand Peabody Memphis hotel. I’m greeted at the door by Hal Lansky, the second-generation owner of Elvis’ favourite clothing store. A Memphis native,
Lansky has fond memories of spending time with Elvis while growing up.
"You can touch the shoulder that Elvis touched,” he laughs, pointing to a framed photo of Elvis resting his hand on Lansky’s shoulder.
"People come to Memphis to walk the streets that Elvis walked. They can still come here and meet the musicians who played with him, the original people who knew
him. Sadly, in a few years’ time, that won’t be the case,” Lansky notes, as Elvis serenades us over the speakers.
“And you know, Elvis never forgot where he came from” he says as I head towards the door, past the blue suede shoes and two-tone bowling shirts. “He’ll always be
king of this town”, he adds, as a steady stream of curious visitors wait patiently to catch a few words with the owner of Elvis’ tailoring house.
Heading back to my jumpsuit adorned suite, it dawns on me that without Memphis we simply wouldn’t have heard of the star that was Elvis Presley. It’s the city that
gave an impressionable young wannabe all the ingredients needed to create the trailblazing sound of rock and roll. And as Lansky observed, even after he hit the big-
time, Elvis stayed faithful to Memphis. In return, the city is now keeping the flame of his legacy burning for a new generation. And for that we say thank you Memphis,
thank you very much.

FISHER — Beverly Ann Springer, 78, of Fisher peacefully passed away Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2022, at Gibson Area Hospital with her family at her side.
Visitation will be from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Thursday, June 23, at East Bend Mennonite Church, Fisher. A celebration of life service will follow at 11 a.m.
Memorial contributions may be made to East Bend Mennonite Church or to an organization of the donor’s choice.
Beverly was born July 21, 1943, in the Mennonite Hospital in Bloomington, a daughter of Eugene and Irene (Alexander) Taylor. She attended Saybrook Grade School, Bellflower Grade School and graduated from Bellflower Township High School in 1961. She married Royal J. Springer on Sept. 28, 1963, at East Bend Mennonite Church in Fisher. Beverly and Royal were classmates in the Bellflower schools from fifth grade through graduation. Those memories will be cherished forever.
Beverly is survived by her husband and best friend of 58 years, Royal J. Springer of Fisher; four children, Kathy (Steve) Lee of Kalkaska, Mich., Timothy (Kelly) Springer of Plainfield, Ind., Cheryl (Greg) Ropp of Corvallis, Ore., and Michael (Arabella) Springer of Bluffton, Ind.; 13 grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and two more on the way. Also, two sisters, Barbara Clark of Saybrook and Carol (Denny) Moore of Thomasboro; and two brothers, James (Laurie) Taylor of Moline and Kenneth (Victoria) Taylor of Atlanta.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother-in-law, Hal Clark.
Beverly was an industrious homemaker, quilter and seamstress. She worked tirelessly and became a fantastic cook and kept an immaculate home. She made personalized Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls for a keepsake for each new birth in the family. She and Royal lived on the farm for 45 years before moving to Fisher in December 2008. They farmed in Bellflower and Cheney’s Grove Township for 50 years.
Beverly accepted Christ at the age of 12 and was baptized into membership in Saybrook Christian Church, transferring her membership to East Bend Mennonite Church, where she was a very active member. She mentored Jennifer Birky Smalley for several years, a friendship that has endured to this day. Having taught in the primary Sunday school classes, she also enjoyed her work in the church library. As others have testified, “Beverly was a very special gal in every sense of the word. She loved her family beyond words, loved her Lord, cared for others and always had a smile.” | https://www.news-gazette.com/obituaries/beverly-springer/article_dec866e0-ef5b-11ec-8359-dffffc75dd97.html | 2022-06-19T06:55:35Z | https://www.news-gazette.com/obituaries/beverly-springer/article_dec866e0-ef5b-11ec-8359-dffffc75dd97.html | true | 1 |
Chuck and Terry Nowiski lived in their country-style farmhouse with a wrap-around porch for 36 years before it flooded. After hurricanes Matthew and Florence, they said “yes” to the state’s offer to buy their place and tear it down.
Nearly three years later, they’re still waiting for the money. What’s worse, they say it’s for the home’s value before the storms hit in 2016 and 2018. Now they worry they won’t be able to buy the house they want with the federal disaster dollars they’ll get.
“It would be pennies compared to what the market is,” said Terry Nowiski of the couple’s house outside the town of Linden, about 15 miles (25 kilometers) north of Fayetteville, North Carolina. “I’ve watched housing prices in the last year go from the upper $200,000s to $350,000 to $450,000.”
Hot real estate markets have made some homeowners wary of participating in voluntary flood buyout programs, impacting efforts to move people away from flooding from rising seas, intensifying hurricanes and more frequent storms.
Flood buyout programs typically purchase flood-prone homes, raze them and turn the property into green space. That can help prevent deaths and health problems associated with flooding, such as mold-related respiratory issues and emotional trauma.
Buyouts also are considered cheaper for taxpayers compared to repairing and rebuilding flooded houses — sometimes multiple times — with government payouts and federal flood insurance.
The programs are run by local and state governments that often use grants from federal agencies. The Federal Emergency Management Agency says it’s provided almost $3.5 billion to help communities acquire nearly 50,000 properties in the last three decades.
“This is basically the tool that we have right now to help people move somewhere safer,” said Anna Weber, a senior policy analyst with the Natural Resources Defense Council. “And so it should work as well as it possibly can.”
But some cities have seen waning interest in voluntary programs in the wake of rising home prices. Some states are even offering extra money to persuade people to move out of harm’s way.
People who take buyouts usually want to relocate to similar homes on higher ground in the same community. But some worry that buyout dollars won’t be enough. Others reject them because private buyers’ offers were too good to turn down. The houses stayed occupied — and at risk.
And while experts say housing markets are cooling off with rising interest rates, the challenge of finding affordable homes is likely to get worse.
“Replacement housing will only get more expensive because rising waters often means more competition for less housing,” said Jesse M. Keenan, a real estate professor at Tulane University’s School of Architecture. “Nothing will be easy. Nothing will be cheap.”
Concerns about finding affordable homes outside flood-prone areas aren’t new, said Miyuki Hino, a professor at the University of North Carolina’s Department of City and Regional Planning.
Programs have traditionally struggled to help everyone relocate to similar housing, particularly those with lower incomes. Inflated housing prices have shined a greater spotlight on the limitations.
“In general, they weren’t designed from the start with the idea of, ‘How does this household end up in a better place in the end?’” Hino said. “The focus has been on removing the buildings from the flood plain.”
Buyout offers can be based on a home’s fair-market value as well as its pre-storm worth. The latter generally stems from the assumption that a home is worth less because it’s been damaged. But rising home prices complicated that assumption, while magnifying concerns about the often yearslong wait for FEMA dollars.
FEMA Press Secretary Jeremy Edwards said in a statement the process can be lengthy, in part, because the agency must determine that a buyout is cost-effective and complies with environmental and historic preservation requirements.
Edwards also said that FEMA now allows for an increased payment of up to $31,000 to assist homeowners in their search for comparable housing.
Democratic U.S. Reps. Sean Casten of Illinois and Earl Blumenauer of Oregon introduced legislation last month that’s designed to shorten wait times and offer more assistance.
“The science makes crystal clear that this climate-driven devastation will only get worse and more costly,” Casten said.
Meanwhile, the Nowiskis are waiting to know how much money they’ll get for the buyout they agreed to in 2019.
Retired and in their mid-60s, they want to stay local without taking out a mortgage. Their daughter is nearby, and so is their nonprofit ministry to help troubled boys.
They’re now considering selling to a “house flipper” or just staying in their home, which is near a tributary of the Cape Fear River.
North Carolina Emergency Management, which handles the buyout program where the Nowiskis live, said in an email that a state fund provides up to $50,000 to help people find similar homes when federal grants aren’t enough.
Keith Acree, an agency spokesperson, acknowledged that buyouts through federal programs can be a long process.
“Homeowners that want to get out of a property quickly will often pursue other methods, if they have the means,” he said.
Other states are also offering money on top of federal disaster dollars. In response to rising home prices, the South Carolina Office of Resilience teamed up with coastal Horry County to create a “market adjustment incentive” in February, said Ran Reinhard, the office’s mitigation director.
The incentive ranges from $10,000 to $50,000 on top of the pre-storm home value offered by the buyout program. It appears to be making a difference.
Twenty-seven offers have been made, and 21 homeowners have signed on so far.
“We wanted to make it so a homeowner could remain a homeowner and in their community,” Reinhard said.
But in some areas, the housing market has been so competitive that private buyers have out-bid the government — even when it offers fair-market value.
North Carolina’s Mecklenburg County, which includes the city of Charlotte, is one such place. It created its own self-funded program to move people away from the Catawba River and other waterways that can overflow from heavy rains.
Rising home prices aren’t making it easy. For example, the appraised buyout value of one Charlotte home rose from around $250,000 in 2020 to about $325,000 in late 2021. The property was then purchased by a private buyer for what county officials believe was as much as $100,000 over asking price.
“I would tell you probably it’s twice as hard to get to the closing table on flood plain buyouts,” said Dave Canaan, the county’s director of storm water services before leaving the position in early June.
In Chesapeake, Virginia, no one participated in the buyout program last year, said Robb Braidwood, coordinator of emergency management.
Many older homes were built along the Elizabeth River and tributaries that swell from heavy rains and storms that push water in from the Chesapeake Bay.
There’s a fading sense of urgency because the last major flood was in 2016, Braidwood said. Another problem is the wait times for FEMA money and the limits of its grants. Increased home prices are also likely to blame.
“We do this once a year where we call out to everybody that floods,” Braidwood said. “And we just hear crickets back.”
Joseph Noble, whose North Carolina home sits near a tributary of the Neuse River, rejected a FEMA-funded buyout offer after it flooded twice in 2016.
He said the money wasn’t enough to buy a similar home nearby — and that was before prices heated up in the small city of Kinston, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) southeast of Raleigh.
He worries about what kind of buyout offer he’d get if he floods this year.
“All it takes is one good hurricane that goes our way,” Noble said. | https://www.wnct.com/news/north-carolina/housing-market-slows-retreat-from-rising-seas-bigger-storms/ | 2022-06-19T07:13:58Z | https://www.wnct.com/news/north-carolina/housing-market-slows-retreat-from-rising-seas-bigger-storms/ | false | 24 |
Getting the right deal on flight tickets can help you manage your overall travel budget better. To help with this, we’ve put together a few expert tips on how to book cheap flights, especially considering how COVID-19 related restrictions are being lifted across the globe.
Planning an upcoming trip is perhaps the most exciting part of a holiday. Finalising the destination, putting together the itinerary and finding some of the best places to stay are indeed an integral part of the whole process. However, finding the cheapest flight tickets on the best routes is more crucial.
However, as pandemic restrictions ease around the world, there’s a notable surge in tourism and fluctuating flight fares have gotten increasingly more common. In fact, to snag the perfect deal, you need to be alert to book the best ones at the right time. This might sound quite daunting, but you can easily lay your hands on some of the cheapest flights with these trade secrets.
Follow these expert tips to book cheap flights for your next trip
Be the early bird
One of the easiest ways to get the best deals and cheap flights is to book at least three months in advance. Fares may rise close to departure dates and at times, they can also change multiple times a day.
For some particular routes and popular tourist destinations, the difference can be nearly 50 percent between the highest and lowest fares. Hence, if you can plan and book well ahead, you are likely to get cheap flight fares.
According to a report by Channel News Asia, Sarah Wan, Singapore general manager of online travel booking platform Klook, said, “As a general rule of thumb, planning around three to six months in advance would be a safe bet. This will allow travellers to secure the best deals and plan ahead.”
Ditch rush hours and peak seasons
Most people wait for the holiday season to go on a trip. School vacations, national and state holidays and certain festivals may be the best time to travel, but they are the most expensive ones too.
However, if you can ditch the peak holiday seasons and choose the right month (off-season), chances are that you may find some of the cheapest flight deals and save a lot. Although this is debatable, many experts believe that if you can book your flight tickets during the week instead of weekends, the fares come at reduced rates.
Compare all options
Booking a cheap flight needs patience and detailed research. Start by searching flights and routes on flight comparison websites and travel aggregators. Websites including Kayak, Google flights, Skyscanner, Goibibo and Cleartrip provide all available flight options to your desired destination. You can compare fares and timings and choose the most suitable one.
One hack that might come in handy is that Google Flights and Kayak have a price predicting feature, showing if the fares will plummet, fall or remain steady.
At times, the cheapest fares can be found on the airline’s official website. Flight aggregators levy a service charge, raising the overall expense. Sometimes, the airline gives special benefits and exclusive discounts on their websites, too. However, these are not always guaranteed.
Look for alternative ways
Keep all your options open while selecting the route to your destination. Opting for nearby alternative airports and then taking a domestic flight can help save a lot. Sarah Wan also supports this and suggests taking a train from a nearby city to the main destination to keep the pocket light.
The same goes for dates as well. If it is flexible, then adjusting the date and time can also get you a cheap flight. It is always advised to compare and contrast before making the final payment.
Keep track of promotions and loyalty programmes
One of the most convenient ways to ensure cheap flight tickets is to be abreast of the promotions and discounts offered by various airlines. Try booking your flight tickets using the best-suited offers and unlock maximum benefits.
Similarly, taking advantage of loyalty programmes offered by airlines and travel portals can be of great help. For instance, Expedia offers loyalty programmes and exclusive members-only discounts and benefits on flight tickets. Joining a Frequent Flyers club and signing up for an airline membership opens doors to several advantages, and helps in getting flight tickets at slashed prices.
Use travel points or try UPI payment
Credit cards are an important way to get cheap flights. If your card is affiliated with a particular airline, then you can collect travel points on the go. After accumulating a substantial amount, these points become extremely helpful in flying at reduced fares. Booking portals also list several cards and payment options, which aid in booking cheap flights. Some cards offer lounge benefits that you can use to relax during long layovers.
Similarly, unified payments interface (UPI) options play a major role in getting discounts. Use portals such as Paytm (India), BPAY and POLi system (Australia) to get additional discounts and benefits.
Student and age benefits
If you are a student or of a certain age (below or above), you might be eligible for special concessions. Browse through respective booking portals and airline websites and carry the necessary IDs to enjoy budget-friendly travel.
Senior citizens are also eligible for such concessions. Keep an eye for the best deals and make sure that elderly passengers carry all relevant documents and follow the guidelines for hassle-free travelling.
Head out on the right day
Choosing the right day and time to travel makes a significant difference in the airfare.
The 2022 travel booking guide, for which Expedia teamed up with the Airlines Reporting Corporation, suggests that Thursday is the best day to start your travel. Channel News Asia also mentions that by doing so, one may save nearly 25 percent. Travelling between Tuesday and Thursday can be the cheapest, whereas heading out on the weekend between Friday and Saturday can be quite expensive.
Long layovers and breaks
While starting a trip, the last thing one wants is an unnecessarily long layover before reaching the destination. But if you are not in a hurry and can hold on, consider opting for flights with longer layovers as they offer cheap tickets.
Most top international long-haul flights have a stopover in major cities. For example, Turkish Airlines generally has a stopover in Istanbul, Air France in Paris and KLM in Amsterdam. These carriers are also given the duty to promote tourism. This is where you can convert a long layover into a mini holiday.
Wondering how to find this option? Just take a standard return flight search and convert it into a multi-city search. This does not increase the overall flight cost and just adds an extra destination to your holiday. | https://www.lifestyleasia.com/ind/travel/destinations/tips-by-experts-to-book-cheap-flights-for-your-next-trip/ | 2022-06-19T07:13:59Z | https://www.lifestyleasia.com/ind/travel/destinations/tips-by-experts-to-book-cheap-flights-for-your-next-trip/ | false | 4 |
At least eight more people died in incidents of floods and landslide on Saturday, 18 June, as Assam continued to reel under floods, taking the statewide death toll to 63.
A release from the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) on Saturday said that of the eight deaths reported in the past 24 hours, two people were buried alive in a landslide, and six drowned in the flood waters.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday took stock of the situation and assured “all possible support” to the state from the Centre.
“At 6 am today, Hon PM Shri @narendramodi ji called me to enquire about #flood situation in #Assam. While expressing his concerns over the hardships being faced by people due to this natural calamity, Hon PM assured all help from Central Govt,” tweeted Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
Almost 90 percent area of the state is affected by floods after pre-monsoon showers wreaked havoc last month. There are at least 10 persons reportedly missing.
Sarma on Saturday visited relief camps sheltering the displaced and reviewed the situation with state BJP chief and local MLA Bhabesh Kalita.
Over 1.08 Lakh People in 373 Relief Camps
The state disaster management authority’s report on Saturday stated that 30,99,762 people belonging to 4,296 villages in 32 districts of the state have been affected by floods in the last 24 hours. A total of 1,56,365 inmates have taken shelter in 514 relief camps.

Only Ten Hag's belief can resurrect Rashford at Man Utd
It is a pivotal summer for English forwards on either side of the Manchester divide.
But while Raheem Sterling is being courted by Europe’s biggest clubs, Marcus Rashford is desperately trying to reignite a career that has stalled over the past 18 months.
Jadon Sancho is another who needs to make up for lost time after a stuttering start to life at Manchester United – but it is Rashford whose issues are more urgently in need of being addressed. And the comparisons with Sterling cannot be ignored.
Editors' Picks
Sterling’s game has enjoyed the benefit of being nurtured in the stable surroundings of Manchester City, under the most attentive of managers in Pep Guardiola.
Mikel Arteta, Guardiola’s former assistant, also took a personal interest in developing the once erratic winger into a prolific goalscorer – and plans were put in place to adapt his style to be more akin to Brazil and Barcelona great, Romario.
Rashford has rarely had such clear-eyed thinking regarding his own career.
Coming through United’s academy, he was played right across the forward line as a modern, all-round forward – though, notably, goalscoring was not seen as a priority.
In his senior career – working under three permanent managers at Old Trafford – opinions about his best role have altered frequently.
Louis van Gaal threw him in at centre forward as an act of desperation – and he flourished.
Jose Mourinho didn’t fancy him at the point of attack, signing Zlatan Ibrahimovich and Romelu Lukaku to play ahead of him.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, meanwhile, insisted that Rashford needed to develop more of an appetite for ugly goals, but didn’t give him the one-to-one coaching he hoped to receive from one of United’s most celebrated strikers.
Under Erik ten Hag, Rashford wants to be given the opportunity to establish himself in his favoured role on the left of attack.
He has been encouraged by the new manager’s intention to keep him as a prominent part of his squad. Rashford, too, has no desire to walk away from United – and a summer in which he has used his holidays to work with a personal trainer is evidence of his own commitment to making a flying start next season.
He has spoken to Donny van de Beek and Daley Blind about Ten Hag’s methods and is hopeful he will finally get the coaching his game has lacked since bursting onto the professional scene in 2016.
At this stage of his career, he feels he needs to be man-managed.
United is his priority, with the expectation that an impressive start to the new campaign will see him force his way into Gareth Southgate’s World Cup plans.
He had a face-to-face meeting with the England manager recently, when Southgate was open and honest about the reasons why he had been omitted from the latest squad.
Southgate suggested during the recent run of Nations League matches that the absence of Rashford and Sancho had not had a detrimental effect on the Three Lions, despite both being part of his Euros squad last summer.
“I think there is a perception of what we had and have and there’s the reality of what Harry (Kane) and Raheem have delivered compared to everybody else,” he said. “Whenever there is a question about Manchester United, it lands in their lap and becomes a bigger deal than anything else. That is for them to deal with.”
It is certainly within Ten Hag’s interests to “deal with” the Rashford and Sancho issues – especially with his top striker target, Darwin Nunez, having joined Liverpool.
United still want to add a forward this summer – but Ten Hag will be heavily reliant on Cristiano Ronaldo, Rashford, Sancho and possibly Anthony Martial.
Rashford hopes to benefit from a full pre-season, something he lacked last year when undergoing shoulder surgery immediately after England’s penalty shootout defeat to Italy in the Euros final.
After missing his own spot kick, he didn’t kick a ball again for three months.
He acknowledges his career is not where it should be – and the steps he needs to take to address that. As a start, the 24-year-old posted a picture on Instagram last week of him working out in the gym.
He has been careful not to show the precise location of his holiday – believed to be in the United States – because he wants to avoid distractions while he gets his body into peak condition.
As well as weights, he has been doing morning runs on the beach before he returns to Manchester to do ball work and football-specific training.
He is optimistic about working with Ten Hag, having heard such promising information about his fourth club manager in the last six years.
In that same period, Sterling has won the Premier League title on four occasions, as well as five other major trophies.
The 27-year-old is considering his options as he enters the final 12 months of his contract, with interest from Chelsea in England, and Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich on the continent.
Rashford was the subject of interest from Barca in 2019, but his game has not kicked on enough since then.
How different might his career look if he’d had the guiding hand of Guardiola over the past six years, rather than a carousel of different managers at United? He got on well with Rangnick, even if he could have benefited from more of a personal touch from the interim boss.
England and Southgate have been his constant, but now even that has been taken away.
In Ten Hag, he is looking for a manager to believe in him and finally provide some stability at club level.
If the Dutchman can do that, both United and England will be the beneficiaries. | https://www.goal.com/en-ae/news/ten-hag-belief-resurrect-rashford-man-utd/bltc9491941bfbcdcf6 | 2022-06-19T07:33:48Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ae/news/ten-hag-belief-resurrect-rashford-man-utd/bltc9491941bfbcdcf6 | true | 10 |
