SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — With California drivers paying more than $6 for a gallon of gas and state officials deadlocked for months over how to provide relief, lawmakers in the state Assembly on Monday announced they would investigate oil companies they say are “abusing a historic situation to suck profits from Californians’ wallets.”
Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon announced a bipartisan committee to investigate gas price gouging, with plans to question oil companies, regulators and economists to find out why California’s gas prices are consistently the highest in the country.
California’s gas prices are currently the highest in the U.S., with the average price per gallon at $6.40 on Monday compared to the national average of $4.98.
“We have put ourselves in a situation because of our addiction to the gas-powered engine. Yet that is no excuse for the actions of those who pin California drivers down with a foot on our necks and a hand in our pockets,” Rendon said.
Republicans mocked the investigation on Monday, blaming Democrats for California’s record-high gas prices because they have refused to temporarily stop taxing gasoline as other states have done to control costs. Democratic President Joe Biden on Monday said he was contemplating temporarily suspending the federal gas tax, a move that could save drivers 18.4 cents per gallon.
“Instead of suspending the state’s gas tax, Sacramento Democrats are creating a committee?” said Assembly member Vince Fong, the Republican vice chair of the Assembly Budget Committee. “Enough with the political antics. Suspend the gas tax now.”
California Democrats say they fear suspending the gas tax would benefit only big oil companies, whom state regulators accused in the past of artificially inflating prices in a state that has more than 36 million registered vehicles on the road.
Catherine Reheis-Boyd, president and CEO of the Western States Petroleum Association, said she agreed Californians are paying too much for fuel and warned “it could only get worse” if state officials don’t “take responsibility and act not to change the dangerous mix of bans, mandates and bad energy policy they are pushing on our state.”
“This Legislature and the Governor should be urgently addressing these policy matters rather than holding press conferences calling for more investigations that time after time have found our industry is acting responsibly,” Reheis-Boyd said.
California gas prices have historically been among the country’s highest, prompting a number of previous studies and inquiries by state officials — including an investigation by former Attorney General Bill Lockyer, who was outraged when prices reached $1.71 per gallon in San Francisco in 1999.
State, local and federal taxes make up 85 cents for every gallon of gas sold in the state, with the costs of crude oil, distribution, marketing and profits accounting for everything else, according to the California Energy Commission.
But a 2019 review by state regulators suggested big oil companies were “misleading and overcharging” customers by as much as $1 per gallon, resulting in California drivers paying an additional $11.6 billion at the pump over a five year period compared to other states.
Gov. Gavin Newsom asked for an investigation by the state attorney general, an investigation that is still pending nearly three years later.
Instead of suspending the gas tax, California Democrats want to use the state’s record-breaking budget surplus of nearly $100 billion to send money directly to taxpayers to help offset the high price of fuel. But nothing has happened yet because Democrats who control the state Legislature have been unable to agree with Newsom on how to do that.
Rendon, the Democratic Assembly speaker, said legislative leaders made progress over the weekend during marathon negotiation sessions with the Newsom administration. But “we’re not ready to make any announcements yet,” he said.
Republicans, meanwhile, held a news conference last week marking 100 days since Democrats vowed to take action to address high gas prices. Republicans don’t have enough seats in the Legislature to pass bills on their own.
“We are still waiting with no relief in sight,” Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher said. “We need action now.” | https://www.wboy.com/news/business/ap-business/california-democrats-to-investigate-cause-of-high-gas-prices/ | 2022-06-21T04:02:28Z | https://www.wboy.com/news/business/ap-business/california-democrats-to-investigate-cause-of-high-gas-prices/ | false | 33 |

Chris Singleton had his world turned upside down after his mother was shot and killed seven years ago.
Since then, our country has taken steps forward toward progress, but more families are having to deal with the pain of losing a loved one to a mass shooting.
For Singleton, change to create a better country and a better world is on his mind.
"I think the next step is putting the power of the people. The people have spoken so we have to make sure those things happen throughout this country," Singleton said.
It’s been seven years since Singleton lost his mother, Sharonda, in the Charleston Mother Emanuel AME church shooting that killed eight others.
Even after all this time, he says it’s still hard but focuses on his mission.
"I'll say that nobody’s process is the same. One of the things that help me is I've tried to keep my mom's legacy alive by doing the work that I do. So being a part of the change helps me out," Singleton said.
Since that fateful day, the country has taken a huge step forward by making Juneteenth the 11th federal holiday.
However, less than a year later, another racially motivated mass shooting happened in Buffalo, New York. There 10 African Americans were killed at a local grocery store.
"As time goes on, people have to realize this is what the world is going to continue to look like. It's not a bad thing. It's not a bad thing at all. We got to embrace it. If we don’t embrace change you see terrible, disgusting things like what happened in Buffalo and what happened in Charleston," Singleton said.
While singleton has done his best to spread his message of love, he has come to a realization.
"I won't reach everybody. I think I have this façade about being able to save every person that goes through something terrible. I realize that won’t happen but I do have confidence that what I am doing is moving the needle forward. It’s tough but I know there is more work to be done," Singleton said.
Either way, he just hopes his mom is looking down and proud of the world he has created for himself.
"I think I would want her to hang out with them. I was talking to my son last night about how much grandma would show him so much love if she was here. I’m just hoping she sees me being a good dad, with it being father’s day, she being proud of me is the only thing I would hope," Singleton said.
Singleton added every year he tries to release a new children’s book in honor of his mother. This year’s book is called "Baseball Around The World." He hopes kids that read it will celebrate the fact other kids from around the world are connected by a game they love. | https://www.wyff4.com/article/son-of-charleston-church-shooting-victim-looks-back-7-years-later/40354589 | 2022-06-21T04:04:02Z | https://www.wyff4.com/article/son-of-charleston-church-shooting-victim-looks-back-7-years-later/40354589 | true | 1 |
Report: Manchester United Close To Reach A Deal With Ajax For Brazilian Forward Antony
According to recent claims, Manchester United are close to reaching an agreement with Ajax for star forward Antony.
The winger was an important player for Erik Ten Hag in last season's winning title Ajax team.
The 22-year-old has participated in 32 matches for the Amsterdam side this season, scoring 12 goals and helping his team with 10 assists in all competitions.
Antony alongside Frenkie De Jong are Erik Ten Hag's most desired signing targets for the Dutch manager's new project with Manchester United.
Ten Hag is very aware that he needs to enhance all the three lines, following the Red Devils ending 6th in the table, and those two players could be essential to bolster the middle and attacking line
According to reports from Sport Bible it is claimed: Manchester United are closing in on a deal for the Brazilian striker.
In addition, they stated that officials from the Old Trafford side will be in Amsterdam on Tuesday to try to land the signing of Antony.
If United can close a deal for the Right-winger could be the first signing of the season and a relief for a desperate fan base hoping for things to happen.
The supporters had to just look at Manchester City and Liverpool land the hottest strikers in the market on the recent weeks.

Mauro Icardi could make shock Wolves transfer as PSG ‘ask Jorge Mendes for help in brokering deal’
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN have reportedly asked Jorge Mendes to orchestrate a transfer for Mauro Icardi to Wolves.
Corriere dello Sport claims PSG are desperate to offload struggling striker Icardi this summer.
The former Inter Milan captain netted just five goals in all competitions last season.
And PSG want to replace Icardi with Sassuolo’s Gianluca Scamacca, who scored 16 times in Serie A.
It’s reckoned there aren’t many takers for Icardi.
So PSG have asked his representative Mendes to try and facilitate a move to Wolves.
The Portuguese super agent has close links with the Midlands side.
And he has helped deliver on a number of signings, most notably Ruben Neves from Porto while Wolves were in the Championship.
PSG reckon Mendes is their best shot at getting rid of Icardi.
But it remains to be seen whether Wolves want the Argentine striker at Molineux.

Icardi was considered one of the world’s best during his time at Inter.
The 29-year-old scored 124 goals in 219 games before joining PSG in 2020.
And despite starting well in the French capital, Icardi has gradually become no more than a bit-part player.
Bruno Lage has no plans to replace Raul Jimenez this summer.
But Icardi could be seen as a filler for youngster Fabio Silva, who is in dire need of regular minutes.
His wages are sure to be an issue though, with Icardi currently pocketing £160,000-a-week at PSG.
And with his agent Wanda Nara - who is also his wife - known for her tough negotiating skills, Icardi could well end up staying put in Paris. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2638634167416/mauro-icardi-could-make-shock-wolves-transfer-as-psg-ask-jorge-mendes-for-help-in-brokering-deal | 2022-06-21T04:13:31Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2638634167416/mauro-icardi-could-make-shock-wolves-transfer-as-psg-ask-jorge-mendes-for-help-in-brokering-deal | true | 5 |
India has cried foul over China’s decision to put on hold UN listing of Lashkar-e-Taiba’s (LeT) second-in-command Abdul Rehman Makki. India and the US, June 1, jointly proposed to list Makki, the brother-in-law of Lashkar-e-Taiba head and 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed, under the UN Security Council’s Al-Qaeda (Dae’sh) and ISIL Sanctions Committee. Both the countries had already listed Makki as a terrorist under their domestic laws. India seems helpless in stopping China from tormenting it diplomatically, militarily and in strategic manoeuvring. The development is especially humiliating for India as it has happened only a week before China presides over the five-nation 14th BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) summit to be held virtually June 23. Ironically, China’s President Xi Jinping will host the high-level dialogue under the theme of “Foster a Global Development Partnership for the New Era to Jointly Implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.” One wonders how partnerships can be made in a climate of suspicion, animosity and mistrust, especially when India seems to be on the losing wicket every single instance.
India has termed China’s action as contrary to the latter’s claims of combating terrorism. It is only natural that China, which is Pakistan’s all-weather friend, would defend its decision citing technical reasons that would be diplomatically correct and serve Pakistan’s interests as well. For, the ‘technical hold’ on the proposal, effectively blocking the listing till the hold is withdrawn, can last up to 6 months at a time. However, this is not the first time that China has placed obstacles to the listing of known terrorists. In the past, it had repeatedly blocked proposals to designate Maulana Masood Azhar, chief of Pakistan-based and UN-proscribed terrorist outfit, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).
Hafiz Abdul Rahman Makki has played various leadership roles within LeT, a US-designated Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO). Makki has a reward of $2 million on him placed by the US government. He has been involved in raising funds, recruiting and radicalising youth to unleash violence and plan attacks in India, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir. It was under Makki’s leadership that the LeT engineered terrorist attacks in India such as the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, Red Fort attack 22 December 2000, Rampur CRPF Camp attack 1 January 2008, Karan Nagar (Srinagar) attack 12-13 February 2018, Khanpora (Baramulla) attack 30 May 2018, Srinagar attack 14 June 2018 and Gurez/Bandipora attack 7 August 2018. This is the reason why India claimed there is ‘overwhelming’ evidence to prove Makki’s terrorist activities.
Pakistan has all along been playing the role of a patron of these terror outfits while maintaining a facade that it is fighting terrorism and taking legal action against terrorists. Makki was reportedly arrested by the Pakistan government May 15, 2019 and kept under house arrest in Lahore. In 2020, he was convicted of terror financing and sentenced to prison by a Pakistani court. However, he was acquitted later for the failure of the prosecution to prove the charges with evidence.
The United States continues to seek information on Makki because the Pakistani judicial system has released convicted LeT leaders and operatives in the past. Accordingly, it jointly proposed along with India the listing of Makki. The proposal to list Makki under the UN Security Council sanctions regime was circulated to all the 15 members of the council’s Al-Qaeda and ISIL Sanctions Committee, also known as the 1267 Committee, under a “no-objection procedure.” But China put a “technical hold” June 16 on the proposal. Beijing has thus put a spanner in the Indo-US efforts to help its ally, Pakistan, and also plague and punish India for tying up with the US to frustrate its designs in the Indo-Pacific region by forming the Quad grouping comprising the US, Japan, India and Australia. The more aggressive is the tone of the Quad countries to close ranks and prevent China’s domination in the region, the more China is trying to harass India and encroach on its soil in eastern Ladakh where it has begun afresh infrastructure building activities on its soil close to the Indo-China border. This has been done when military and diplomatic level talks between the two countries on resolving the conflict following the border standoff are progressing at a snail’s pace.
This time around, Beijing has more reasons to back Pakistan-based transborder terrorists operating to harm India. It had to lift the technical hold on Azhar’s case in May, 2019 and allow the listing of the JeM chief by the 1267 Committee for his terrorist activities and his links with al-Qaeda. Beijing relented in the face of mounting international pressure then.
But, now, China finds itself cornered in the wake of the economic and strategic groupings of Quad in which India has direct participation and the nuclear-powered AUKUS (Australia, UK, US strategic partnership). Hence, it has no qualms in defending its decision against the listing of Makki. Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Wang Wenbin insisted with diplomatic verbiage that its action was perfectly in order and on the basis of relevant procedures and rules stipulated by the UN’s 1267 Committee.
Only a few days back, the BRICS NSA meeting hosted by Chinese State Councillor Yang Jiechi said it was committed to closer cooperation on combating terrorism. India specifically raised the need to cooperate on fighting terrorism “without reservations.” It was the height of audacity that China’s MFA spokesperson could say he would “not go back” to the question whether there is contradiction between China’s action on the listing of Makki and its stand on fighting terrorism explained at the BRICS NSA meeting. India’s foreign services establishment seems to have no answer to China’s brazen show of solidarity with Pakistan-based terrorists. | https://www.orissapost.com/china-let/ | 2022-06-21T04:18:42Z | https://www.orissapost.com/china-let/ | false | 1 |
NEW YORK (AP) — A college basketball player was killed and eight other people were wounded Monday in an early-morning shooting at a gathering in Harlem, New York City police said.
Officers responded around 12:40 a.m. to reports of a shooting on a footpath along FDR Drive and found several people wounded. Other victims went to hospitals on their own, officials said.
Darius Lee, a 21-year-old senior at Houston Baptist University in Texas, was killed, the university said. He grew up in Harlem, attended St. Raymond High School for Boys in the Bronx and was back home for summer break.
The wounded included six other males and two females, police said.
“This Father’s Day weekend is a weekend where people were supposed to be able to enjoy themselves with their families,” NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said at a news conference.
The investigation was ongoing Monday and police didn’t immediately have details about the gathering, possible suspects or what may have led to the shooting.
A gun was recovered from the scene, police said.
The New York Daily News reported that the gathering was a cookout organized by Harlem rapper Rich Rhymer, who posted invitations on his Instagram account. He noted that his two prior cookouts had been free of violence and wrote: “LETS GO FOR A 3PEAT.”
Lee, a guard and forward, played basketball at a community college in New York’s Sullivan County before enrolling at Houston Baptist University. He was scheduled to graduate in December with a bachelor’s degree in sports management, the university said.
Lee was recently named the university’s Male Student-Athlete of the Year. He led the team in scoring and rebounding last season, and finished sixth in the nation in steals per game, earning a second team All-Southland Conference selection.
Houston Baptist Coach Ron Cottrell described Lee as a “remarkable young man” and a “joy to coach.”
“We are in shock and cannot wrap our heads around this news,” Cottrell said in a statement posted on the university’s website. “My heart breaks for his mom, his sister and his entire family, and for our basketball team… As great of a basketball player as he was, he was an even better person.”
The shooting comes amid national concern over gun violence and as the U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether to strike down a law that makes it difficult to legally carry a handgun in New York.
Shootings are down 11% so far this year in New York City, compared to last year. Murders are down 12% but are still at their second-highest level since 2012. | https://www.ktsm.com/news/top-headlines/ap-top-headlines/college-basketball-player-killed-in-nyc-shooting-8-wounded/ | 2022-06-21T04:18:42Z | https://www.ktsm.com/news/top-headlines/ap-top-headlines/college-basketball-player-killed-in-nyc-shooting-8-wounded/ | false | 34 |
Team India veteran Ravichandran Ashwin has not travelled to the United Kingdom along with the rest of his teammates after testing positive for Covid-19, as per multiple reports. This comes after the majority of the Indian contingent landed in London on June 16, to face off against England in the rescheduled fifth Test match from last year.
According to the latest reports, Ashwin has been put under quarantine, and he will only join the Indian team after meeting the required protocols.
The rescheduled fifth Test between India and England will be played at Edgbaston from July 1-5, and the Men in Blue have begun their preparations for the highly anticipated contest.
READ| Players to watch out for in the rescheduled Test match between India-England
A senior BCCI official confirmed to news agency PTI that R Ashwin had tested positive for Covid-19 before his departure to the UK, however, he is currently under quarantine, and should recover in time, ahead of the one-off Test match.
Team India will play a 3-match T20I series against England after the conclusion of the Test, and thereafter, an ODI series of as many games. Before that, however, they have a practise game scheduled against Leicestershire, between June 24-28 and Ashwin is most likely to be unavailable for the same.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Indian squad have begun sweating it out, under the watchful eyes of bowling coach Paras Mhambrey and batting coach Vikram Rathour.
Earlier on Monday, the BCCI shared a video of Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill hitting the nets, and the duo is expected to open against the Three Lions. It will be the first time, Rohit will lead the Men in Blue for an overseas tour, ever since taking over as permanent captain from Virat Kohli. | https://www.dnaindia.com/cricket/report-ravichandran-ashwin-tests-positive-for-covid-19-misses-flight-to-uk-ahead-of-england-tour-reports-2962315 | 2022-06-21T04:24:14Z | https://www.dnaindia.com/cricket/report-ravichandran-ashwin-tests-positive-for-covid-19-misses-flight-to-uk-ahead-of-england-tour-reports-2962315 | false | 1 |

Dog left inside 115+ degree car while owner visits amusement park, police say
MASON, Ohio (WXIX/Gray News) - A man was left with a warning by police after he allegedly left his dog inside of a hot car while he went inside the amusement park, Kings Island.
The City of Mason Police Department released the report on Monday, which says an officer was called by park security regarding a dog that was left in a hot car.
The report claims the officer arrived in the Kings Island parking lot around 6 p.m. on June 15.
The responding officer wrote in the report that he saw a small white dog “panting aggressively” inside of the vehicle.
The vehicle’s window was cracked approximately three inches, according to the responding officer. Kings Island security used a thermal scanner to determine the temperature inside the vehicle, which was between 117 and 118 degrees, according to the officer’s report.
The officer was told by park security they had prior incident with dog’s owner three hours before his arrival.
Around 3 p.m., Kings Island security saw the dog left inside the locked vehicle for the first time. Temperature readings inside the vehicle at that time were reading between 120 and 125 degrees, the police report said.
Park security opened the vehicle and took the dog to the first aid center.
A note was left on the vehicle to let the owner know where the dog was taken. The owner arrived at the first aid center and retrieved the dog, police said.
The owner of the dog was exiting out of the park as officers were on scene for the second time the dog was left in the vehicle.
The officer said he explained to the owner that he could not leave the dog inside of the car while he was inside Kings Island. He also told the owner that it was 95 degrees outside and the heat index was well above 100.
Since the owner left his dog inside of the hot vehicle twice in one day, Kings Island advised the owner he was not welcomed back in the park for the rest of the day.
The officer told the dog’s owner that if he returned and found the dog left alone inside of the locked car again, the owner would be charged with cruelty to animals.
The owner said he understood and left without further incident, according to the police report.

The photo that shows unbreakable bond between notorious 'Balenciaga bikie' who survived being shot ten times including through the EYE and exiled Comanchero boss
- Picture surfaced showing Tarek Zahed carrying coffin of Mark Buddle's mother
- Buddle was unable to attend so asked Zahed to be a pallbearer in his place
- In May, Zahed survived being shot 10 times, including one shot through eyeball
The unbreakable bond between former Comanchero boss Mark Buddle and notorious enforcer Tarek Zahed has been uncovered in a picture showing Zahed at his mother's funeral.
The exiled bikie commander's mother Les died in 2018, and Buddle asked trusted ally Tarek Zahed, nicknamed the 'Balenciaga bikie' for his love of designer clothing, to carry her casket.
Buddle left Australia in 2010 for Dubai after a security guard was fatally shot, and paid $45,000 for his mother to be buried in the gold-plated coffin at her funeral in Botany, south-east Sydney.

The exiled bikie boss Buddle did not return to Australia for her burial instead asking his close mate Zahed to be a pallbearer, fully kitted out in the gangs famous black and yellow colours, The Daily Telegraph reported.
Members of the gang shared pictures at the funeral to to Instagram, where they were dressed in full colours.
One of the captions reading: 'Brothers through the good times and the bad #loyalty #respect #support #comos'.
During the funeral, Strike Force Raptor forced bikie members to take off their shoes in order to search for drugs and weapons.
In May, Zahed miraculously survived an assassination attempt at Bodyfit Gym in Auburn when he was shot multiple times as more than 20 bullets were fired.
He was rushed to hospital fighting for life and was taken into surgery with ten bullet wounds to his head and body, with one bullet piercing straight through his eyeball.
His brother Omar, 39, was killed during the shooting.
Zahed has been running the Comancheros with the gang's leader Buddle in hiding overseas.

The U.S. Senate no longer works for our democracy and the U.S. citizen, but rather the lobbyists, special interests and their personal agenda, not the wishes of the American people. Three major examples are:
• Gun control, not getting the guns off the streets and stopping the murdering of our kids
• Violating women's rights and the laws that protect them
• Supporting an unfair tax code that favors the wealthy and themselves
Let it be understood that it's Main Street not Wall Street and its oligarchs — it's the lives of our children, not funding from the NRA (National Rifle Association), and it's the laws protecting women's rights are to be expanded, not eliminated.
The existing Senate no longer works for us to promote and preserve democracy, but rather their special interests and fascism. These fascist politicos must be replaced by statesmen and stateswomen that have our best interests and the best interests of the country at heart, and can correct the damage that has already been inflicted on our country by today's Senate politicos.
State-Journal.com’s comments forum is for civil, constructive dialogue about news topics in our community, state, nation and world. We emphasize “civil” at a time when Americans, in the words of the current president, need to “turn down the temperature” of political debates. The State Journal will do its part by more carefully policing this forum. Here are some rules that all commenters must agree to follow:
Absolutely no attacks on other commenters, on guest columnists or on authors of letters to the editor. Our print and online opinion pages are sacred marketplaces of ideas where diverse viewpoints are welcome without fear of retribution. You may constructively critique the ideas and opinions of others, but name-calling, stereotyping and similar attacks are strictly prohibited.
Leeway will be given for criticism of elected officials and other public figures, but civility is essential. If you focus your criticism on ideas, opinions and viewpoints, you will be less likely to run afoul of our commenting rules.
Keep comments focused on the article or commentary in question. Don’t use an article about the Frankfort City Commission, for example, to rant about national politics.
Hyperpartisanship that suggests anyone on the other side of an issue or anyone in a particular particular party is evil is not welcome. If you believe that all Democrats are socialists intent on destroying America or that all Republicans are racists, there are lots of places on the internet for you to espouse those views. State-Journal.com is not one.
No sophomoric banter. This isn’t a third-grade classroom but rather a place for serious consumers of news to offer their reactions and opinions on news stories and published commentary.
No consumer complaints about individual businesses. If you’ve had a bad experience with a private business or organization, contact the Better Business Bureau or the government agency that regulates that business. If you believe the actions of a private business are newsworthy, contact us at news@state-journal.com and we will consider whether news coverage is merited.
Absolutely no jokes or comments about a person’s physical appearance.
No promotion of commercial goods or services. Our outstanding staff of marketing consultants stands ready to help businesses with effective advertising solutions.
If you state facts that have not been previously reported by The State Journal, be sure to include the source of your information.
No attacks on State Journal staff members or contributing writers. We welcome questions about, and criticism of, our news stories and commentary but not of the writers who work tirelessly to keep their community informed. Corrections of inaccurate information in news stories should be sent to news@state-journal.com rather than posted in the comments section. | https://www.state-journal.com/opinion/letter-u-s-senate-works-for-lobbyists-special-interests-personal-agendas/article_653dbd1e-f089-11ec-b17d-2bb8ea2e3c59.html | 2022-06-21T04:51:26Z | https://www.state-journal.com/opinion/letter-u-s-senate-works-for-lobbyists-special-interests-personal-agendas/article_653dbd1e-f089-11ec-b17d-2bb8ea2e3c59.html | true | 22 |

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Steven Stamkos, Pat Maroon and Ondrej Palat each had a goal and an assist, and the Tampa Bay Lightning scored four times in the second period and beat the Colorado Avalanche 6-2 Monday night in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.
Anthony Cirelli, Nicholas Paul and Corey Perry also scored to help the two-time defending champion Lightning bounce back after playing poorly while losing the first two games on the road. Nikita Kucherov and Victor Hedman had two assists, and Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 37 shots.
Stamkos, Paul, Maroon and Perry scored in the second period, when the Lightning chased Colorado goalie Darcy Kuemper while pulling away to trim their series deficit to 2-1.
Gabriel Landeskog had two goals and Mikko Rantanen had two assists for the Avalanche. Kuemper gave up five goals on 22 shots before he was replaced by Pavel Francouz, who finished with nine saves.
Game 4 is Wednesday night at Amalie Arena, where the Lightning have won a franchise-record eight straight playoff games and Colorado lost on the road for the first time this postseason.
Two nights after being limited to just 16 shots in a 7-0 loss in Denver, the Lightning rebounded by finally finding way to neutralize Colorado’s speed and solve Kuemper to avoid falling to the brink of elimination.
The defending champs became the first team since 1919 to win a Stanley Cup Final game after losing by seven-plus goals the previous game.
The Avalanche lifted Kuemper after Maroon scored a soft goal that put the Lightning up 5-2 with 8:45 remaining in the second. Perry reached behind Francouz to tap in a rebound that came off the right post to make 6-2 with 5:02 left in the period.
The back-to-back champions overcame a 2-0 series deficit in the Eastern Conference final to eliminate the New York Rangers in six games. They’re looking to do it again against Colorado to complete their quest for the NHL’s first three-peat in nearly 40 years.
Cirelli and Palat scored in the opening period for the Lightning, who played with a lot more energy than in Games 1 and 2, when they appeared to be a step or two slower the speedy, high-scoring Avalanche.
The seven-goal loss in Game 2 raised the question of whether a team that’s played 68 postseason games — most by a single club over a span of three playoffs — since 2020 is running out of gas as it tries to become the first franchise to win at least three consecutive Stanley Cup titles since the New York Islanders won four in a row from 1980-83.
And while, coach Jon Cooper discounts the toll playing so much playoff hockey has taken on his players, Colorado clearly looked like the fresher team in Games 1 and 2 after going 12-2 against Nashville, St. Louis and Edmonton in breezing through the first three rounds.
Spurred on by a sellout crowd of more than 19,000, and playing with a sense of urgency absent for much of the first two games, the Lightning scored twice in a span of 1:51 to wipe out a 1-0 lead the Avalanche took on the first of Landeskog’s two power-play goals.
Cirelli crossed in front of Kuemper to make it 1-1 at 13:03 of the opening period. Palat delivered his 10th goal of the playoffs off a pass from Stamkos to give Tampa Bay a lead for the first time in the series.
Andrei Vasilevskiy yielded a second power-play goal to Landeskog, who briefly trimmed a two-goal deficit to 3-2 before Tampa Bay pulled away for good.
Vasilevskiy stopped 37 of 39 shots after
After allowing the most goals he’s ever given up in the playoffs in Game 2, Vasilevskiy had 13 saves in the first period, 12 in the second and 12 in the third.
The Lightning became the third team in NHL history score six goals in a Stanley Cup Final after yielding at least seven the previous game.
INJURIES
Both teams played without one of their top forwards.
Lightning center Brayden Point, who missed 10 games after being injured during Tampa Bay’s series-clinching victory over Toronto in the first round, was scratched after playing in Games 1 and 2 in Denver.
Avalanche forwards Andre Burakovsky and Nazem Kadri sat out for Colorado. Coach Jared Bednar said both are day to day.
Paul scored for the Lightning after sitting out a portion of the first period with what appeared to be a right leg injury.
STREAKS
Colorado entered Monday night with a franchise-record seven-game postseason winning streak. The Avalanche also suffered their first road loss, dropping to 8-1. Tampa Bay improved to 8-1 at home this postseason.

About 2key.network
According to CryptoCompare, “2key network is a decentralized referral network that helps people, businesses and organizations reach their ideal customers and spark action. It works by giving people the opportunity to directly exchange actionable links with campaigns for products, services or events that they recommend. When a campaign they shared generates results, the link automatically goes back and rewards every person who shared it. Letting referrers share the success of the campaigns they share is a proven way of generating organic online virality. And because the rewards to referrers are only distributed AFTER the campaign generates results, creating a campaign is risk-free, making it the perfect tool for small businesses and solopreneurs to grow their business. “

Bully Daniel Birnie has been jailed after he attacked his ex twice - despite being banned from going to her home. The 26-year-old was handed a 20-week suspended jail sentence in November after he was convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and harassment of his former partner.
But he deliberately breached a order on two occasions by turning up at her home, entering uninvited, causing damage to her property and assaulting her. On the first occasion he punched her bedroom door, grabbed her from behind, put his arm around her neck and slapped her left cheek.
And on the second occasion he strangled her with both hands leaving her struggling to breathe and causing her to be sick. Now Birnie has been jailed for 11 months at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court.
READ: Thug kicks pregnant partner in stomach and cuts her neck with shard of glass
Prosecutor Fiona Cortese said the defendant's relationship with his partner ended last July. She applied for a non-molestation order which was granted in January. That prevented him containing his victim or going to her street.
But at 11am on February 28 he entered her house uninvited. She asked him to leave and ran upstairs for her phone but he followed her.
Miss Cortese said: "She shut the door. He punched it causing a hole in the door. She called the police. He grabbed her from behind and put his arm around her neck. She tried to pull away. She described struggling to breathe but managed to pull away.
"He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her backwards towards him, causing pain. He slapped her left cheek."
Police located the defendant nearby but he made off. He returned to her home at 10.30pm on April 22. He entered her bedroom when she was in bed and called her a snitch and a liar.
Miss Cortese said: "She was chased out of the room. They made it to the kitchen where he lifted her chin up and pushed his head against her forehead. She pushed him away. He put both hands around her neck and squeezed. She struggled to breathe.
"She started to gag and he released his grip. She said she needed air. He would not allow her to open the back door. They made it to the bathroom. He would not let her leave. She began to scream. He left the bathroom and held the door shut. When she got out they both went into the kitchen. The defendant grabbed her hair. She felt a fist on the back of her head. She heard a car and said the police were there and the defendant ran out the house."
In a victim statement the woman said the defendant is unpredictable and she is living life on the edge. She no longer feels safe at home.
Birnie, of Glebe Street, Kidsgrove, pleaded guilty to two charges of breaching a non-molestation order; two charges of assault by beating; and two charges of criminal damage.
Jazmine Wilde, mitigating, said the defendant accepts the relationship was toxic and that his behaviour was not appropriate. Miss Wilde said: "He accepts he needs to change his ways and he does not want to continue on the current road he is going down. He accepts as a result of the sentence and his actions he will miss out on some key moments of his son's life. He accepts what he has done is wrong."
Recorder Matthew Boyle made Birnie the subject of a three-year restraining order. He said: "This has got to stop, not only breaches of court orders but really unpleasant violent behaviour towards your former partner."
He said the first incident must have been a 'very upsetting and traumatic experience for her'. Recorder Boyle added: "She does not feel safe in her own home, even though she is supposed to have protection of a non-molestation order."

It comes as the New South Wales state budget was handed down today and public sector employees only received a three per cent pay rise despite the union's ongoing calls for a bigger increase.
It is the first time the public and Catholic teacher unions have come together to take industrial action.
"This is an extraordinary moment. We are standing shoulder-to shoulder because fixing the education crisis in NSW demands no less," Independent Education Union of Australia NSW Secretary Mark Northam said.
Teachers will strike on June 30 which is the day before term two ends.
NSW Teachers Federation President Angelo Gavrielatos said the government and Catholic employers have "failed" to address the teaching crisis in the state.
"Both unions have come to the conclusion that the Government has its head in the sand in regards to the teacher crisis," he said.
"We asked the premier to reconsider his decision to cap the pay of teachers at three per cent when inflation is more than five per cent and rising. Yet, he did nothing."
Northam said the Catholic schools take the government's lead on salary decisions and called on state leaders to reconsider the pay changes.
"Catholic diocesan school employers follow the NSW Government's lead on salaries, even though they are not legally bound by NSW Government wages policy," Northam said.
"Staff shortages and sinking salaries mean teachers and support staff in Catholic diocesan schools are really struggling.
"Teachers are leaving the profession and graduates are not entering it."
Treasurer Matt Kean said today's budget announcement for public sector wage increases is "one of the most generous" in the country.
"So the unions that are marching in the streets in NSW are protesting against one of the most generous public sector pay increases in the country," Kean said.
"It shows it has nothing to do with pay and has everything to do with politics."
Public school teachers have walked off the job twice in the past year and Catholic school teachers have held industrial action once.

The association of Malta’s judiciary has refused to comment on a magistrate’s outburst in a courtroom where she compared a lawyer to a “whore” after the lawyer greeted her cousin with a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
The comment was deemed as “grossly disproportionate… totally inappropriate, unacceptable and intolerable” by the Chamber of Advocates.
When contacted, a spokesperson for the Association for Judges and Magistrates of Malta said the association would not comment on the matter.
The association was asked whether it condoned the magistrate’s slur and whether it will be taking any action. In reply, association president Mr Justice Francesco Depasquale replied curtly: “We will not be commenting.”
The members of the association’s committee are judges Joanne Vella Cuschieri and Aaron Bugeja and magistrates Claire Zammit Stafrace and Josette Demicoli.
The May 30 incident came to the fore last week when Nationalist MP Janice Chetcuti claimed Magistrate Yana Micallef Stafrace compared her to a “whore” after the lawyer greeted her cousin in a courtroom.
The magistrate reprimanded Chetcuti and another lawyer, Melhino Mercieca, for “kissing during a court sitting” and asked the chamber to look into the matter.
A court minute recording the incident reads: “The court deplores the conduct of Dr Marino (sic Melhino) Mercieca and Dr Janice Chetcuti who felt it was opportune to be kissing during a hearing. The court considers this conduct to be highly disrespectful to it and orders notification to the Chamber of Advocates for any provision it deems appropriate.”
After looking into the matter, the chamber said that, while this kind of greeting was “certainly not appropriate conduct” and fell below the decorum expected of lawyers in a courtroom, a simple verbal warning in the circumstances would have been in order.
It added that “what was extraordinary and indeed shocked other lawyers who happened to be in the same hall at the time was the magistrate’s disproportionate reaction to what is ultimately a minor infraction of conduct on the part of the two lawyers”.

Rays' Margot, Kiermaier hurt; injured list likely for both
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Tampa Bay Rays outfielders Manuel Margot and Kevin Kiermaier left Monday night's 4-2 loss to the New York Yankees with injuries and are likely headed to the injured list.
Margot sprained his right knee in the ninth inning, crashing into the right field wall while chasing an RBI triple by Aaron Hicks. Margot was taken off the field on a cart after Josh Donaldson scored on the play.
"It doesn't look good," manager Kevin Cash said, adding that he expects Margot to miss "significant time."
It will be Margot's second trip to the injured list this season. He previously missed eight games with a right hamstring strain.
Kiermaier left the game after striking out in the second inning on Gerrit Cole's 98 mph fastball. His injury was described as left hip inflammation.
Cash said the hip has been bothering Kiermaier for several games.

India asks female coaches to chaperone athletes after harassment claims
Indian sports authorities have told female coaches to chaperone women athletes on tour after a sexual harassment scandal shook the country's elite cycling community.
Top sprint team coach RK Sharma was sacked last week after an unnamed cyclist said he had attempted to "forcefully" coerce her into sex during a training camp in Slovenia.
On Wednesday, the Sports Authority of India (SAI) ordered all national sports federations to send women coaches to accompany female athletes during domestic and international travel.
"The step has been taken after recent events came to light where certain female athletes have complained against their coaches during international trips," the SAI said in a statement.
"There is an expectation, at all times, of appropriate behaviour consistent with the core values of sportsmanship and appropriate moral conduct," it added.
The cyclist whose complaint led to Sharma's sacking returned from Slovenia this month saying that the coach's behaviour left her "extremely scared for my safety, wellbeing and life".
She said Sharma had also threatened to destroy her career by having her removed from an elite sports academy and ensuring she would be left to "sell vegetables on the road".
Since Sharma's sacking, women's national cycling champion Deborah Herold has come forward to accuse him of slapping and ridiculing her.
Herold told the Indian Express newspaper she was removed from the national team because Sharma and his assistant believed she was in a same-sex relationship.
Sharma has presided over a "toxic atmosphere" and his assistant "taunted, ignored and isolated" Herold from the rest of the cyclists, she was quoted as saying on Thursday.

High temperatures are returning to Bay Area and are expected to peak over the next two days, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a heat advisory for much of the day in many inland areas.
The high temperatures are expected to last until Thursday, with the hottest conditions running from Tuesday into Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
There will be a moderate to high risk level for heat, primarily in the inland areas, and the heat advisory is expected to run from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday, Weather Service officials announced Monday.
The North Bay interior mountain areas will also see breezy north and northwest winds, particularly on the mountain tops and ridges of eastern Sonoma and Napa counties, which will bring elevated fire risks to those areas.
The highs will be the 90s, with temperatures reaching as high as 105 degrees in the hottest areas.
People are advised to stay hydrated and seek shelter from the heat, if possible.
The heat, combined with expected motor vehicle exhaust, has prompted the Bay Area Air Quality Management District to issue a Spare the Air alert for smog on Tuesday. | https://www.nbcbayarea.com/weather/high-temps-return-to-bay-area-heat-advisory-issued-for-tuesday/2924513/ | 2022-06-21T05:28:27Z | https://www.nbcbayarea.com/weather/high-temps-return-to-bay-area-heat-advisory-issued-for-tuesday/2924513/ | false | 1 |

Transfer: Sun will shine on you – Bayern refuse to let angry Lewandowski join Barcelona
Bayern Munich have insisted that Robert striker, Lewandowski is going nowhere this summer.
This is despite the player sending messages to the Bavarians and the optimism from Barcelona about signing the player.
Former President of the club, Uli Hoeness, told Sport1 that Bayern Munich are relying on Lewandowski for next season.
He said that the Poland international is part of the new team being intensively worked on by Bayern Munich, adding that the player and his agent are angry because they cannot get what they wanted.
“The new team is being worked on intensively. If everything that was presented to me last week works out, we will have an attractive team next year with Lewandowski.
“Things didn’t go exactly the way he and his agent wanted. That’s why they are angry,” Hoeness said.
He advised everyone involved in the transfer saga to be objective and not let issues escalate.
“The sun will shine on Lewandowski and Bayern again. It has always been like that,” he added. | https://dailypost.ng/2022/06/21/transfer-sun-will-shine-on-you-bayern-refuse-to-let-angry-lewandowski-join-barcelona/ | 2022-06-21T05:37:05Z | https://dailypost.ng/2022/06/21/transfer-sun-will-shine-on-you-bayern-refuse-to-let-angry-lewandowski-join-barcelona/ | false | 1 |

Which white Nike shoes are best?
Nike has been a trusted brand known for making quality athletic shoes since it was founded in 1964. If you’re an athlete looking for sport-specific shoes or just want a pair to wear casually, Nike has plenty of options.
Athletic shoes are more colorful than ever, but white shoes have a classic look that never goes out of style and can be worn with almost anything. Finding the right pair for you depends on your size and how you plan to wear them, but the best are Nike Men’s Air Force 1 Basketball Shoes. They’re versatile, making them suitable for casual wear or athletic activity.
What to know before you buy white Nike shoes?
Benefits of white shoes
White shoes are trendy and affordable, but the true advantage of wearing them is their versatility. They are stylish and can be worn in both casual and semiformal settings, but they don’t draw attention, so they can help the rest of your outfit shine.
Types of shoes
The reason you’re buying shoes and when you plan to wear them help determine the best pair for you. Nike makes white shoes in the following categories:
- Running
- Basketball
- Tennis
- Walking
- Skateboarding
- Lifestyle
If you play sports and want more specialized athletic shoes, Nike also makes cleats for football, soccer, baseball, softball and golf.
What to look for in white Nike shoes
Style of shoes
You have three choices when selecting the style of Nike shoes.
- Low-top: These are cut below the ankle. They are common in running, tennis and some basketball shoes. If looking for shoes to wear with more formal attire, it’s best to go with low-tops.
- High-top: These ride higher up on the ankle to provide additional support, making them most common in basketball shoes.
- Mid-top: These are in between low and high. They provide some additional support, so basketball and lifestyle shoes are the most common mid-tops.
Shades
Even when selecting white shoes, you still have color options. You can choose all-white shoes, but many white Nike shoes add a splash of color to its swoosh logo or other small areas, such as the back logo. These are versatile and still go with almost anything, but have the added benefit of a touch of color to help your shoes stand out.
How much you can expect to spend on white Nike shoes
Most range from $80-$150 depending on size, model and availability. Limited edition, vintage or throwback Nike shoes can be collector items and sell for substantially more than the original retail price, with some costing upward of $500.
White Nike shoes FAQ
What is the best way to clean white Nike shoes?
A. There are home remedies to keep your white Nikes looking bright and clean. Try mixing two tablespoons of white vinegar, one tablespoon of baking soda and one cup of water. Dip a clean cloth or toothbrush into the mixture and scrub the dirty sections.
Why do white shoes turn yellow?
A. The main reason is oxidation. This isn’t an issue right away, but after a couple of months of extensive use or exposure to the sun, clean your shoes to prevent them from turning yellow.
What should I wear with my white Nike shoes?
A. White is a universal color, so you have many options. White shoes can be worn with casual attire or help create a more stylized look. They can be paired with shorts, jeans, slacks or more professional evening attire.

How Ukraine-Russian war will shape world’s nuclear arsenals
(AP) - The headlines on the newsstands in Seoul blared fresh warnings of a possible nuclear test by North Korea.
Out on the sidewalks, 28-year-old office worker Lee Jae Sang already had an opinion about how to respond to North Korea’s fast-growing capacity to lob nuclear bombs across borders and oceans.
“Our country should also develop a nuclear program. And prepare for a possible nuclear war,” said Lee, voicing a desire that a February poll showed was shared by 3 out of 4 South Koreans.
It’s a point that people and politicians of non-nuclear powers globally are raising more often, at what has become a destabilizing moment in more than a half-century of global nuclear nonproliferation efforts, one aggravated by the daily example of nuclear Russia tearing apart non-nuclear Ukraine.
That reconsideration by non-nuclear states is playing out in Asia. The region is home to an ever-more assertive North Korea, China, Russia and Iran — three nuclear powers and one near-nuclear power — but is unprotected by the kind of nuclear umbrella and broad defense alliance that for decades has shielded NATO countries.
Vulnerable countries will look to the lessons from Ukraine — especially whether Russia succeeds in swallowing big pieces of Ukraine while brandishing its nuclear arsenal to hold other nations at bay — as they consider keeping or pursuing nuclear weapons, security experts say.
As important, they say, is how well the U.S. and its allies are persuading other partners in Europe, the Persian Gulf and Asia to trust in the shield of U.S.-led nuclear and conventional arsenals and not pursue their own nuclear bombs.
For leaders worried about unfriendly, nuclear-armed neighbors, “they will say to their domestic audiences, ‘Please support our nuclear armament because look what happened to Ukraine,’ right?” said Mariana Budjeryn, a researcher with the Project on Managing the Atom at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
As a schoolgirl in 1980s Soviet-era Ukraine, Budjeryn drilled on how to dress radiation burns and other potential injuries of nuclear war, at a time that country housed some 5,000 of the Soviet Union’s nuclear weapons. Her country renounced nuclear weapons development after the Soviet Union shattered, opting for economic assistance and integration with the West and security assurances.
“Ultimately, I think a lot is riding on the outcome of this war in terms of how we understand the value of nuclear weapons,” Budjeryn said.
Around the world, the U.S. military is reassuring strategic partners who are facing nuclear-backed rivals.
Near the North Korea border this month, white-hot ballistic missiles arched through the night sky as the U.S. joined South Korea in their first joint ballistic test launches in five years. It was a pointed response to North Korea’s launch of at least 18 ballistic missiles this year.
In Europe and in the Persian Gulf, President Joe Biden and U.S. generals, diplomats and troops are shuttling to countries neighboring Russia and to oil-producing countries neighboring Iran. Biden and his top lieutenants pledge the U.S. is committed to blocking nuclear threats from Iran, North Korea and others. In China, President Xi Jinping is matching an aggressive foreign policy with one of his country’s biggest pushes on nuclear arms.
Some top former Asian officials have cited Ukraine in saying it’s time for more non-nuclear countries to think about getting nuclear weapons, or hosting U.S. ones.
“I don’t think either Japan or South Korea are eager to become nuclear weapon states. It will be immensely politically painful and internally divisive. But what are the alternatives?” ex-Singapore Foreign Minister Bilahari Kausikan told the audience at a March defense forum.
For those hoping North Korea would give up its nuclear weapons, the example provided by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is “another nail in that coffin,” Terence Roehrig, a professor of national security at the U.S. Naval War College, said at another defense forum in April.
“Ukraine is going to be another example to North Korea of states like Iraq and like Libya, that gave up their nuclear capability — and look at what happened to them,” Roehrig said.
Ukraine never had detonation-ready nuclear bombs — at least, none it could fire on its own.
The Soviet Union’s collapse left Ukraine with the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal. But Ukraine didn’t have operational control. That left it with a weak hand in the 1990s when it negotiated with the U.S., Russia and others on its place in the post-Soviet world, and the fate of the Soviet arsenal. Ukraine got assurances but no guarantees regarding its security, Budjeryn said.
“A piece of paper,” is how Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy referred to one such assurance, signed in 1994.
The U.S. itself has given nuclear and nuclear-curious countries plenty of reasons to worry about forgoing the world’s deadliest weapons.
The West compelled Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi to give up his country’s rudimentary nuclear weapons program in 2003. A couple of years later, Gadhafi’s son Saif al-Islam shared with researcher Malfrid Braut-Hegghammer his father’s biggest worry about that — that Western nations would support an uprising against him.
“And lo and behold, a few years later, get to 2011, you saw what happened,” said Braut-Hegghammer, now a University of Oslo nuclear and security strategy professor.
What happened was NATO, at U.S. urging, intervened in a 2011 internal uprising against Gadhafi. A NATO warplane bombed his convoy. Rebels captured the Libyan leader, sexually abused him, and killed him.
In Iraq, the U.S. played a central role in forcing Saddam Hussein to give up his nuclear development program. Then the U.S. overthrew Saddam in 2003 on a spurious claim he was reassembling a nuclear weapons effort. Three years later, with Iraq still under U.S. occupation, Saddam plunged through a gallows.
The Middle East leaders’ fall and brutal deaths have clouded denuclearization efforts with North Korea. Rare U.S.-North Korea talks in 2018 collapsed after the Trump administration repeatedly raised the “Libya model” and Vice President Mike Pence threatened Kim Jong-un with Gadhafi’s fate. “Ignorant and stupid,″ North Korea’s government responded.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine now “only highlights to some countries, at least, that if you have a nuclear weapons program, and you’re sort of far along with that, giving it up is a terrible idea,” Braut-Hegghammer said.
The world’s nine nuclear powers — the United States, Russia, France, China, the United Kingdom, Pakistan, India, Israel and North Korea — hold some 13,000 nuclear weapons. Israel does not acknowledge its nuclear program.
The biggest nuclear powers historically have sought to control which countries can licitly join the club. Countries that proceed regardless, including Iran and North Korea, are isolated and sanctioned.
Nuclear experts mention South Korea and Saudi Arabia as among the countries mostly likely to consider nuclear weapons. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in 2018 pledged to immediately acquire nuclear bombs if Iran did.
It’s surprising that more countries haven’t acquired a bomb, Jessica Cox, head of NATO’s nuclear directorate, said at the April forum.
“If you look at it from a historical perspective, it is not at all clear in the 1950s and 1960s that there would be less than 10 nations armed with nuclear weapons in the world ... 70 years later.”
What made the difference in Europe was NATO’s nuclear deterrence — 30 nations sharing responsibility and decision-making for a nuclear arsenal that deters attacks on them all, Cox said.
Many feel Ukraine made the right decision when it avoided possible isolation by waiving a nuclear-armed future. That gave Ukraine three decades to integrate with the world’s economy and build alliances with powerful nations now aiding its defense against Russia.
As a young woman in Ukraine, Budjeryn realized at one point after the 1990s accords that her own job, then in business-development, was funded by the Clinton administration, as part of the West’s rewards to Ukraine for the nuclear deal.
“If Ukraine prevails,” she said, " then it will communicate that nuclear weapons are useless.”
“But if Ukraine falls, the story will look very different,” she said.

Major change to buy now, pay later coming as regulation plans are revealed
MILLIONS of shoppers could be affected by new buy now, pay later regulations put forward by the Government.
The Treasury has laid out plans to tighten up rules around BNPL in a bid to protect consumers.
The proposed rules will include:
- BNPL providers need to be approved by the regulator
- Lenders must ensure loans are affordable
- Advertisements must be fair, clear and not misleading
- Other short-term interest-free credit to be included
- Consumers to be able to complain to the Ombudsman
It comes after Amazon announced it would be starting its own BNPL service, and newbie bank Zopa launched a buy now, pay later product earlier this month.
Buy now, pay later is a type of borrowing whereby you make a purchase but delay paying for it.
BNPL providers like Klarna, Clearpay and Laybuy, let customers pay for their shopping in interest-free monthly instalments to spread the cost.
It's widely available at many online retailers now including Asos, H&M and more.
Payment is made in instalments over an agreed period of time, usually 30 days.
But concerns have been raised about the amount of debt that people are racking up in this way.
An estimated 8 million adults in the UK owe money on BNPL, according to reference agency Credit Karma.
Most read in Money
An average of £538 per person is owed on BNPL, with total debt standing at a hefty £4billion.
Ciizens Advice recently warned that nearly two in five BNPL shoppers have borrowed money in order to meet their repayments.
More protection is needed
The Treasury has today raised concerns that buy now, pay later doesn't offer the same protections to shoppers as other forms of borrowing.
For example, when you buy an item on a standard credit card, you are protected by Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act and also by chargeback, both of which can help you get your money back if you don't receive your item or it is faulty.
The Government has said that BNPL lenders will be required to carry out affordability checks to ensure loans are affordable for customers.
It also wants to overhaul promotion rules to ensure BNPL adverts are "fair, clear and not misleading".
It said lenders offering BNPL services will need to be approved by the regulator, and customers will be able to take complaints to the Ombudsman.
John Glen, economic secretary to the Treasury, said: "Buy now pay later can be a helpful way to manage you finances, but we need to ensure that people can embrace new products and services with the appropriate protections in place.
"By holding BNPL to the high standards we expect of other loans and forms of credit, we are protecting consumers and fostering the safe growth of this innovative market in the UK."
What happens next?
The Government will publish a consultation on draft legislation later this year, and will lay out its plans by mid-2023.
At this point the Financial Conduct Authority, the regulator, will consult on rules for the sector.
The Treasury said other short-term interest-free credit would also be covered by the rules - this includes loans to pay for dental work or furniture, for example.
But there have been some grumbles that the government is not moving fast enough.
Martin Lewis said regulation was "desperately need" but he was frustrated at how long it was taking.
He said: "It's now nearly two years since we raised the alarm about BNPL's explosive growth and called for urgent regulation, yet those protections still won't be in place for the financially bleak winter coming."
Dame Clare Moriarty, chief executive of Citizens Advice, said:
Every day spent waiting for regulation is yet another day that shoppers are left unprotected and ill informed. We’ve seen a shopper threatened with debt collectors after splitting the payment of a t-shirt and, more recently, a worrying two in five BNPL customers borrowing money to make repayments.
“The government’s proposed rules will provide vital protection to many, but it must turbo-charge these plans.”
Should I use BNPL?
The UK’s BNPL market is worth £6 billion and 20million people already use this way of shopping.
And like any other form of credit, BNPL is safe to use as long as you do so responsibly.
That means clearing your balance in full and not falling into arrears.
Debt should always be a last resort as a way to pay for anything, and you should never take on more than you can afford to repay.
Concerns around BNPL have centred around the credit checks that companies undertake before offering you the loans.
With a standard loan or credit card, lenders to a "hard check", which shows on your credit history so other companies can see what credit you've applied for.
BNPL firms have typically only carried out "soft checks" which are not as stringent, and mean shoppers could rack up loans with a number of providers, which could mean their borrowing gets out of control.
This month, some BNPL firms started to report transactions on your credit file.
Citizens Advice is among the organisations which have been calling for more regulation on the industry.
Millie Harris, debt adviser at Citizens Advice East Devon, said:
“What scares me most is how easily people can slip into using Buy Now Pay Later.
"They come to rely on it much more quickly than other forms of credit. It’s just a few clicks at a checkout.
"Too often that means people don’t realise how serious it is; that it is credit and there are consequences if they don’t repay it.”
If you are worried about debt, speak to your lenders as soon as possible - they may be able to help you come up with a more affordable repayment plan.
Debt advice charities such as StepChange, Citizens Advice or National Debtline may be able to offer you guidance.

Man Utd ‘see £60m Evanilson transfer bid REJECTED but Porto will sanction sale if PSG give up on Vitinha’
MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly had a £60million bid rejected for Porto star Evanilson.
But a sale could be sanctioned if Paris Saint-Germain give up on a deal for his team-mate Vitinha.
O Jogo claims the Red Devils are eager to sign a striker for new manager Erik ten Hag.
And Brazilian ace Evanilson has emerged as the Dutch tactician’s top target.
At just 22 years old, he’s already netted 25 goals in 70 games for Porto.
Before that, Evanilson lit up his homeland with Fluminense, scoring 10 times in 26 outings.
And he could now be set for a Premier League switch after winning a League and Cup double in Portugal.
United are said to have made a whopping £60m bid for Evanilson, who is still awaiting his first Brazil cap.
But despite being tempted, Porto have rejected the offer for now.
Porto boss Sergio Conceicao is no stranger to having his squad torn apart, with Liverpool landing Luis Diaz and Sevilla signing Jesus Corona in January.

However, the Portuguese giants have already agreed the £34m sale of Fabio Vieira to Arsenal.
And former Wolves loanee Vitinha is set to become the next major exit after PSG also agreed a £34m deal.
Porto fear ripping up a title-winning team yet again will leave them chasing Benfica and Sporting Lisbon next season.
But midfield ace Vitinha is yet to pass his medical in the French capital.
And should that deal collapse, Porto would then be willing to do business with United.

In the absence of US markets yesterday European markets enjoyed a positive session yesterday, although the gains are still some way off reversing the big losses seen on Thursday last week, when markets were still absorbing the after effects of large rate hikes from the US Federal Reserve and the Swiss National Bank.
Yesterday’s gains came despite rising concerns over a global economic slowdown, a fear that has been reflected in weakness in base metals prices, with copper prices sliding to one-year lows.
An increasingly hawkish tone from Federal Reserve officials appears to be prompting concerns about global growth after Fed governor Christopher Waller emphasised a determination on the part of the US central bank to get inflation down in a tone that suggested they’d risk a recession to do so.
Iron ore prices also came under pressure on concerns over falling demand out of China, falling to three-month lows, while Friday’s sharp slide in oil prices is also raising concern about a sharp fall in demand.
The pound gained a degree of support yesterday after external MPC member Catherine Mann said the central bank ought to consider raising interest rates faster in order to counteract the inflationary effects of the recent decline in the currency we’ve seen in the past 12 months.
Last week she was one of the 3 MPC members who voted for a 50bps rate hike, although she was keen to stress that her remarks should not be taken as her wanting to defend the value of the pound, which seems an odd clarification given that was her reasoning for wanting to raise rates by 50bps.
One of the main reasons why inflation has become such a problem has been a degree of procrastination on the part of the central bank over the past few months when it comes to making decisions on how quickly to start raising rates, as well as a complete inability to arrive at an accurate assessment of how quickly inflation has become embedded in the UK economy.
Back at the end of November last year Catherine Mann herself was quoted as saying that it was too early to talk about rate hike timings, much less by how much, only to do just that 16 days later when the Bank of England raised rates by 15bps to 0.25%.
In February the Bank of England raised its 2022 inflation forecast from 4.6% to 5.7%, with an expectation that it would peak at 7.25%. Yet here we are just over 4 months later, and the central bank is projecting a peak figure closer to 11%, its 8th inflation forecast this year.
Even without the unforeseen fallout from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this is a huge failure on the part of the MPC, only being made worse by hesitancy on their part. The pound has remained resilient overnight despite the damage today’s countrywide rail strike will do to the UK economy as the entire rail network grinds to a halt.
To be fair to the Bank of England they haven’t been alone and haven’t been the worst culprits with the ECB even further behind the curve, along with the Reserve Bank of Australia.
In comments early this morning RBA governor Philip Lowe appeared to be setting the scene for another move on interest rates two weeks from now, having surprised the markets earlier this month with a 50bps move.
He went on to say he expected CPI to peak at 7% by the end of the year, and that the RBA would do whatever it takes to return inflation to 2% to 3%. He went on to say that while Australians should prepare for more rate rises, the rate hike trajectory projected by markets was too aggressive and wasn’t very likely.
Asia markets have picked up where markets in Europe left off, drifting higher, and along with US future today’s European open looks set to be a positive one, as US markets return later today.
EUR/USD – last week’s failure to break below the support at 1.0340/50 keeps the prospect of a rebound towards the 1.0800 area. We initially need to see a move above 1.0600, as well as trend line resistance from the highs this year, which comes in at 1.0680. Below 1.0330 targets parity.
GBP/USD – having failed to push below the 1.1950 area last week, we could see a rebound towards 1.2630 We need to push above the 1.2450 area for this to unfold. Below 1.1950 targets the 1.1500 area.
EUR/GBP – currently holding above trend line support from the recent lows in April at 0.8520. The current rebound needs to overcome the 0.8630 area. A break below 0.8500 targets the 0.8420 area and 200-day MA.
USD/JPY – still have resistance at the previous peaks at 135.60. While below the risk is for a return to the 132.00 area. Above 135.70 targets the 137.00 area.

Production-focused ISO 26262 ASIL rated solutions for S32Z and S32E enable customers to build and deploy zonal/domain platforms for future vehicle architectures and EV propulsion control systems
NUREMBERG, Germany, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Embedded World, Hall 4 Stand 325 — Green Hills Software, the worldwide leader in embedded safety and security, today announced their plan for delivering comprehensive support for the new S32Z and S32E real-time processor families from NXP® Semiconductors to help enable safe and secure mixed-criticality execution and consolidation in next generation zonal and domain vehicle platforms. Green Hills Software's products and expert services will form the industry's most complete offering of foundational software for the S32Z and S32E processors composed of:
- the ultra-small and fast, ASIL-certified, µ-velOSity™ real-time operating system,
- the µ-visor™ thin type-1 hypervisor that simultaneously hosts multiple guest operating systems such as AUTOSAR® Classic, µ-velOSity, FreeRTOS, Zephyr® RTOS and more, and
- the ASIL-certified MULTI® advanced development environment.
The combined hardware-software solution from NXP and Green Hills builds on three decades of successful collaboration between the companies that will help enable global OEMs and Tier 1s to dramatically reduce the time and cost of developing and deploying new consolidated domain and zonal architectures and vehicle control at the highest levels of ISO 26262 safety and ISO/SAE 21434 security.
Emerging designs for next-generation vehicle electronics must adapt to accommodate the growth and consolidation of software features and increased complexity in these new architectures. OEMs and Tier 1s will require more computing performance to support these new capabilities and challenges. A key challenge is to consolidate the necessary hardware and software in a manner that guarantees freedom from interference for critical functions while providing uncompromised real-time performance, low cost, and extensive design flexibility for future adaptations. At the same time, advanced multicore, multi-OS software development tools are needed to increase developer productivity while reducing the time and cost to develop and integrate millions of lines of new code. The combined platform of Green Hills and NXP targeting the S32Z and S32E addresses this challenge.
"We're pleased to be working with Green Hills to provide our customers a combined solution to accelerate and consolidate safe, real-time applications for emerging domain and zonal vehicle architectures," says Ray Cornyn, Senior Vice President and General Manager Vehicle Control and Networking Solutions Business Line at NXP. "Today's zonal and domain controller ECUs need the high-performance real-time processing of the breakout S32Z and S32E real-time processors combined with a scalable, safe and secure software offering from proven partners like Green Hills."
"By providing broad production-focused software solutions for NXP's new multicore S32Z and S32E real-time processor families, joint customers can start immediately developing their next-generation vehicle ECUs with the highest performant, most scalable and configurable offerings available," said Dan Mender, Vice President, Business Development, Green Hills Software. "And with this combined hardware-software solution, time to market and cost to develop are drastically reduced by starting with production proven offerings.
The products and services of Green Hills are the most complete ecosystem offering of production-focused foundational software in the market, enabling customers to optimize their use of the S32Z and S32E real-time processor families' unique combination of gigahertz real-time speed, safe multi-applications integration and expansion memory.
The µ-velOSity RTOS is a tiny, fast and easy-to-program, memory-efficient real-time operating system for multicore designs with ASIL requirements. µ-velOSity needs only a few kilobytes of ROM and boots quickly in a minimum of processor cycles. Its ultra-small context switch time and fast kernel service calls also make it ideal for real-time automotive functions.
The µ-visor hypervisor is a thin and efficient type-1 hypervisor designed to safely consolidate concurrently running critical workloads on the Arm® Cortex®-R52 processors inside NXP S32Z and S32E processors. Its architecture leverages processor features to enforce separation, manage access control and accelerate virtual machine operations, enabling multiple operating systems such as AUTOSAR Classic, FreeRTOS, Zephyr RTOS, and µ-velOSity to efficiently run with freedom from interference. µ-visor features a variety of core scheduling options to meet various ECU consolidation use cases and to ensure extremely low overhead. This vendor/OS-independent virtualization decouples hardware and software giving designers greater flexibility for adding new functionality and reusing on other projects.
Developers utilizing NXP's S32Z and S32E processors will see a significant increase in productivity by relying on the Green Hills OS-agnostic MULTI advanced integrated development tools that include Green Hills optimizing C/C++ compilers. The unmatched performance and ASIL certification of Green Hills optimizing C/C++ compilers and run-time libraries for Cortex-R52 has made Green Hills the industry standard C/C++ compiler since 2016. When Arm announced the Cortex-R52, they relied on the Green Hills compiler to achieve the "highest in class" performance scores. MULTI also features the industry's most advanced multicore, multi-OS debugging and visualization features that empower developers to find and fix bugs faster, use less processor memory, and reduce costly software recalls.
In the Green Hills Software booth at Embedded World, Hall 4 Booth 325, Green Hills will demonstrate the µ-visor hypervisor safely hosting multiple operating systems on the S32Z processor, along with advanced debugging and visualization through the MULTI IDE and Green Hills C/C++ compilers.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The U.S. Navy said Tuesday its forces had a tense encounter with Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard in the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
The Navy's Mideast-based 5th Fleet said three Guard vessels had an “unsafe and unprofessional” encounter as the USS Sirocco and USNS Choctaw County transited Monday through the strait, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf.
The Navy said one of three of the Guard fast crafts raced head-on at the Sirocco before changing course. The Navy said the Sirocco fired a warning flare during the encounter as well.
A short video released by the Navy showed the encounter.
Iran did not immediately acknowledge the incident in the strait, through which a fifth of all oil traded passes.
It comes as tensions remain high in the region as Iran's nuclear deal with world powers remains in tatters as negotiations over the accord are stalled. Meanwhile, Tehran's atomic program enriches uranium at its closest levels to weapons-grade yet. | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/us-navy-iran-have-tense-encounter-in-strait-of-hormuz/CUCUXFOPS5F2RAEYPVUQZX6V5Y/ | 2022-06-21T06:32:42Z | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/us-navy-iran-have-tense-encounter-in-strait-of-hormuz/CUCUXFOPS5F2RAEYPVUQZX6V5Y/ | false | 11 |

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Federal officials and tribal nations have formally reestablished a commission to oversee land management decisions at a national monument in Utah — among the first such joint governance agreements signed by Native Americans and U.S. officials.
Leaders from agencies including the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service met with representatives from five tribal nations Saturday to sign a document formalizing the Bears Ears Commission, a governing body tasked with day-to-day decisions on the 2,125 square-mile (5,500 square-kilometer) Bears Ears National Monument.
In 2021, President Joe Biden restored two sprawling national monuments in southern Utah — Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante — reversing a decision by President Donald Trump that opened for mining and other development hundreds of thousands of acres of rugged lands sacred to Native Americans and home to ancient cliff dwellings and petroglyphs.
Together, the monuments encompass an area nearly the size of Connecticut, and were created by Democratic administrations under a century-old law that allows presidents to protect sites considered historic, geographically or culturally important.
Tribes have long sought a larger role in their oversight.
“This is an important step as we move forward together to ensure that Tribal expertise and traditional perspectives remain at the forefront of our joint decision-making for the Bears Ears National Monument. This type of true co-management will serve as a model for our work to honor the nation-to-nation relationship in the future,” said Bureau of Land Management Director Tracy Stone-Manning, one of the agreement’s signatories.
The Bears Ears Commission and Obama-era joint governance plan was altered to the chagrin of tribal officials when Trump downsized the monument in 2017. The five nations, all of which were driven off land included in the monument, are the Hopi, the Navajo Nation, the Pueblo of Zuni, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation.
“Today, instead of being removed from a landscape to make way for a public park, we are being invited back to our ancestral homelands to help repair them and plan for a resilient future. We are being asked to apply our traditional knowledge to both the natural and human-caused ecological challenges, drought, erosion, visitation, etc.,” said Bears Ears Commission Co-Chair and Lieutenant Governor of Zuni Pueblo Carleton Bowekaty.
Tribes also play a role in jointly managing some resources within national park units, including Canyon de Chelly National Monument on the Navajo Nation and Point Reyes National Seashore on the historic lands of the Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo in California. | https://www.fox21news.com/politics/ap-politics/tribal-leaders-and-feds-reestablish-bears-ears-commission/ | 2022-06-21T06:34:14Z | https://www.fox21news.com/politics/ap-politics/tribal-leaders-and-feds-reestablish-bears-ears-commission/ | false | 46 |

Mumbai, Jun 21 (PTI) Maharashtra minister and senior Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde is not in Mumbai, but a communication has been established with him, party MP Sanjay Raut said on Tuesday.
Shinde along with some Shiv Sena MLAs had gone incommunicado, a party leader said earlier on Tuesday, a day after the ruling Maha Vikas Agahdi (MVA-comprising the Sena, NCP and Congress) suffered a setback in the Maharashtra Legislative Council polls by losing one out of the six seats it contested.
According to sources, Shinde was camping along with some Sena MLAs at a hotel in Gujarat's Surat city.
Talking to reporters in Mumbai, Raut said it is a fact that contact with some MLAs could not be established on Monday night after the Legislative Council polls, but the party has been able to reach out to some of them now.
"Eknath Shinde is not Mumbai, but communication has been established with him," Raut said.
However, Raut did not elaborate on the number of MLAs who have gone incommunicado along with Shinde. PTI PR GK GK

Which high-end dehumidifiers are best?
Unless you live in an exceptionally dry climate, high humidity levels can be a major problem for your home and health. Having a high-end dehumidifier can help alleviate many of the problems associated with an overly humid space, from mold reduction to allergy improvement to reducing bad odors, providing consistent high-quality performance for years.
However, before purchasing a high-end dehumidifier, you’ll want to consider a few key factors, such as capacity and control settings. The Frigidaire High Efficiency 50-Pint Dehumidifier is a top choice for home use, due to its overall power and abundance of useful features.
What to know before you buy a high-end dehumidifier
Who needs a dehumidifier?
The best high-end dehumidifiers can be pricey, but well worth it for several reasons.
- The reduction of mold and mildew is by far the most common use of a dehumidifier. Homes dealing with excess mold growth will benefit from lower humidity levels.
- Due to their ability to reduce mold and mildew, dehumidifiers will also reduce musty odors and unpleasant smells associated with damp areas.
- High humidity levels are ideal for the growth of dust mites and other allergens that can cause chronic allergic reactions. Dehumidifiers are known to help improve these conditions, leading to a more allergy-free home.
- Many foods, especially dry goods, will have a significantly longer shelf life in drier environments.
- Dehumidifiers are essential when trying to dry out a home after unexpected flooding or water damage.
How does a dehumidifier work?
Dehumidifiers operate using a relatively simple process that is safe and efficient. First, the dehumidifier uses a fan to draw warm and moist air into the machine. That air is then passed over cooling coils, which causes the air to condense and allows the moisture to return to a liquid state. The water is then collected in a tray, and the dry air is reheated and blown back out into the room.
What to look for in a quality high-end dehumidifier
Capacity
Depending on the size of your area, you’ll want to choose a model with an appropriate capacity. Mini and small-capacity dehumidifiers can remove anywhere from 12 ounces to 30 pints of water per day, depending on the model. These are best for small damp areas.
Medium to large-capacity dehumidifiers are designed for larger spaces and more serious moisture issues, as they can remove 40-70 pints of moisture from the air.
Tank
The tank size relates to the capacity, as more powerful dehumidifiers will need an accompanying tank to hold the moisture they collect. Larger tanks will be able to hold more water at a time, but they can be tricky to empty when full. Smaller tanks will be lighter and easier to handle, but will likely need to be emptied more often.
Pump
Some high-end dehumidifiers may include a continuous pump option, which will eliminate the need to change the tank, as the collected water will drain from the pump through a hose and into an appropriate area, be it a sink or outdoor space.
Settings
Many high-end dehumidifiers may have multiple settings, which include variable fan speeds, automatic shut off and even the ability to set precise humidity levels, depending on your needs. The best dehumidifiers will feature easy-to-use buttons or dials and may even sport a useful digital screen so you can have maximum control over your device.
Noise
Depending on the size and power of your dehumidifier, it can produce some significant background noise. Averaging around 60 decibels for many models, the noise level is something you should consider. Smaller humidifiers may be quieter, but they might not be suitable for larger spaces. Look for a quiet model if noise is something that may impact your decision.
Extra Features
Timer
A convenient timer function will allow you to decide when exactly you want your dehumidifier to run, saving you time and lowering energy usage.
Automatic defrosting
As your dehumidifier continuously cools the air it takes in, the interior coils are likely to develop frost. An auto-defrost feature will keep the coils frost-free and your dehumidifier running properly.
Air filter
Some high-end dehumidifier models will come equipped with an integrated air filter that can filter out dust and other airborne particles, providing you with cleaner air in addition to ideal humidity levels.
How much you can expect to spend on a high-end dehumidifier
The cost of high-end dehumidifiers will vary according to size, brand and model. You can usually find smaller options for $150, medium-sized models ranging up to $350 and large-capacity machines with a price tag upwards of $500.
High-end dehumidifier FAQ
Are dehumidifiers hard to maintain?
A. No. In general, dehumidifiers are relatively easy to care for and maintain. Common maintenance includes periodically cleaning the air filter, emptying the water tank, cleaning the tank and potentially defrosting your humidifier for models without an automatic feature.
How long do dehumidifiers last?
A. A well-built dehumidifier can easily last 5-10 years. Those that are cleaned often and properly cared for will likely provide many years of high-quality performance.

Stallone, Costner and Chastain launch Paramount+ in Britain
Paramount+ showcased the star power of their shows ahead of their UK launch with an event attended by Sylvester Stallone, Viola Davis, Kevin Costner, Jessica Chastain and more.
The expansion will bring popular shows like Costner’s “Yellowstone” and “Star Trek Discovery” across the Atlantic. British subscribers will also be able to see Stallone’s scripted series debut in “Tulsa King” in which he plays a mobster.
“It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and I don’t know how I avoided playing a mobster my whole life. I don’t get it, anyway, people see me like that. So an opportunity finally came, Stallone said.
The service will be available from Wednesday.
Paramount+, which debuted in 2021 in Latin America, reaches a market quite saturated with streaming giants in Great Britain and will compete with Amazon and Netflix, among others. It has more than 8,000 hours of programming, including the sprawling series “Yellowstone.” Paramount and MTV Entertainment Studios announced Monday that their next spinoff series, starring Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, will be titled “1923” and will focus on the Prohibition era after World War I.
Chastain stars with Michael Shannon in the series “George & Tammy,” while Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer and Gillian Anderson star in “The First Lady,” about the wives of US presidents.
Sonequa Martin-Green was delighted that her “Star Trek Discovery” series is reaching a larger audience. “Especially with ‘Trek’ I think it should always be celebrated globally for what it represents and what it has done.”
Miranda Cosgrove’s popular series “iCarly” will also be included on the streaming platform.
“I hope it makes people happy like it did in America,” the 29-year-old actress, singer and producer said. “I’ve played the character of Carly pretty much all my life, so yeah, it’s definitely something that I hold in a very special place in my heart.” | https://codelist.biz/2022/06/21/stallone-costner-and-chastain-launch-paramount-in-britain-2/ | 2022-06-21T06:39:23Z | https://codelist.biz/2022/06/21/stallone-costner-and-chastain-launch-paramount-in-britain-2/ | true | 19 |

By MARC LEVY
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — One candidate is unabashedly blunt, willing to embrace progressive positions, doing little to build rapport with party leaders and dominating rooms with a 6-foot-8-inch frame. The other crafts a more moderate image, a deliberate public speaker who became a congressional aide out of college and has carefully cultivated relationships within the party ever since.
In both style and substance, John Fetterman and Josh Shapiro strike dramatically different profiles.
Yet their fate — and that of the Democratic Party — is intertwined in a pair of Pennsylvania elections that will be among the most closely watched in the U.S.
Fetterman offers Democrats their clearest path to picking up a U.S. Senate seat, which could go a long way in helping the party keep control of the chamber.
Shapiro, meanwhile, poses even larger existential questions as he faces a Republican rival for governor who has embraced conspiracies about the last presidential election and would have significant influence over running the next one in the premier battleground state.
“The stakes have never been higher, the contrast has never been clearer,” Shapiro told state Democratic Party committee members at their Saturday meeting in Gettysburg. “This commonwealth has the power to decide whether we have the 51st senator. This commonwealth has the power to decide whether the great experiment that started in the city of Philadelphia 245 years ago continues.”
With the stakes so high, Fetterman and Shapiro are working toward a united front ahead of the fall election.
They are participating in a coordinated campaign funded and run by national and state party organizations, including the Democratic National Committee, Democratic Governors Association and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Together, these groups could send more money to Pennsylvania than anywhere else to register and persuade voters as part of what the state party calls “the largest and earliest midterm coordinated campaign in Pennsylvania history.”
Such help from national organizations may be badly needed in a big swing state.
After backing Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential campaign, Pennsylvania swung to Joe Biden in 2020 — but only by about 1 percentage point. And Democrats gearing up for the 2022 campaign are already facing huge challenges.
Fetterman suffered a stroke just days before winning his party’s nomination for the Senate race last month and has not yet returned to the campaign trail, or given much indication when he will do so. And both candidates will be running in a difficult environment for Democrats, weighed down by Biden’s unpopularity and rising prices for everyday goods, food and gasoline.
Aides to both campaigns say the coordination has already begun.
Fetterman’s and Shapiro’s campaigns say they have been in touch often, and Shapiro said he has texted with Fetterman since Fetterman’s stroke.
Campaign aides say they expect the men will appear together at bigger events, such as rallies, regional campaign office openings or party events to raise money, help boost turnout or highlight down-ticket candidates.
Earlier this month, Fetterman’s wife, Gisele, stood in for him at an event with Shapiro where they spoke at the opening of a coordinated campaign office in Pittsburgh.
“I look forward to getting John out here, and I know he’s chomping at the bit to get out, too,” Shapiro said Friday. Fetterman’s campaign said in a statement that “we look forward” to campaigning with Shapiro and helping other Democrats on the fall ballot.
For now, Fetterman’s health hangs over the campaign amid questions his whether he has been honest about the severity of his condition.
Fetterman’s neurologists and cardiologist have not taken questions from reporters, and the campaign took three weeks after the stroke to disclose that he also had a serious heart condition.
Republican campaign coordination is run through the Republican National Committee, but the party’s top-of-the-ticket candidates — celebrity heart surgeon turned Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz and gubernatorial nominee Doug Mastriano — are making no firm commitments so far to campaigning together.
In a statement, Oz’s campaign said he “supports the Republican ticket in Pennsylvania because he believes we’ve got to send a message to Joe Biden about inflation, gas prices, and the out of control crime problem” and “looks forward to seeing (Mastriano) out on the trail this summer.”
The campaigns haven’t said whether Oz and Mastriano have even met, other than exchanging text messages after their respective primary victories. Mastriano’s campaign did not respond to questions.
Mastriano is viewed warily by party leaders and campaign strategists. He has spread Trump’s lies about widespread election fraud in the 2020 presidential election and was a leading proponent in Pennsylvania of Trump’s drive to overturn the result. He also was in the crowd outside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack by Trump supporters after attending the “Stop the Steal” rally nearby.
If they do campaign together, it may be uncomfortable: Mastriano, a state senator, endorsed a rival to Oz in the primary and criticized Oz on the campaign trail, suggesting at one point that Oz is really a liberal and a carpetbagger — a nod to Oz moving from his longtime home in New Jersey to run in Pennsylvania.
Plus, before Mastriano was elected to the state Senate in 2019, he repeatedly posted Islamophobic material on Facebook. Oz is Muslim.
In a statement, the RNC said it has been “on the ground” in Pennsylvania since 2016, training and mobilizing activists, registering voters, opening offices and working with the state party and its nominees.
For now, Republicans are trying to paint Fetterman and Shapiro as extreme, but also zeroed in on Fetterman’s stroke in a digital ad, suggesting he has not been honest about the effects of it.
“Has John Fetterman been telling the truth about his health?” says a narrator in the digital ad by the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
Democrats insist they aren’t worried about Fetterman recovering from the stroke, and Colleen Guiney, the party chair in Delaware County, said it will only be talked about as a distraction from important issues, such as Republican attempts to destroy the county’s democracy and render the Senate dysfunctional through the filibuster.
Fetterman has avoided media interviews as party leaders — including Biden — try to assure rank-and-file Democrats that Fetterman is fine and will be able to resume campaigning soon.
“I know he can’t wait to get back on the trail,” Biden said during remarks at last week’s AFL-CIO convention in Philadelphia. “He’s looking good.”
Fetterman and his wife gave a 90-second video address played Saturday at the state party’s committee meeting in Gettysburg. In it, Fetterman stressed the Shapiro-Fetterman ticket to go up against “the Oz-Mastriano extreme, bizarre and dangerous ticket.”
“I’m so proud to be one part of the ticket here,” Fetterman said. “And this year we have Josh Shapiro to be our next governor. And let me just let you know that we will be back very soon, to be back up to 100% to be back in every one of our 67 counties, because Josh and I have always been committed to a full every-67-county campaign.”
Shapiro and Fetterman have a political relationship going back to at least 2016, when Fetterman hosted a fundraiser for Shapiro at his home in Braddock.
Still, Shapiro and Fetterman have at times had a strained relationship over conflicting stances on the state pardons board — and a report just days before the primary election by The Philadelphia Inquirer underscored that.
Citing unnamed people as the source, the Inquirer reported that Fetterman had threatened a couple of years ago to run for governor against Shapiro — unless Shapiro voted for certain applicants in front of the pardons board.
Shapiro did, but has denied that politics drove his votes or that any such conversation with Fetterman ever happened, and a spokesperson for the attorney general’s office called the claim “nothing short of outrageous.” Fetterman has been silent about it.
Democrats say it is not a point of discussion among activists, and they are rather focused on what is on the line in the Nov. 8 election.
That election is about choosing between candidates “who are working for effective government that will serve all of our communities,” Guiney said, and candidates aligned with “people who are willing to sacrifice the fundamental fabric of our democracy for their personal gain.”

Getley UK, which specialises in bespoke kitchen, bedroom and bathroom cabinets, has used a £450,000 asset finance package from Lloyds Bank to invest in the new equipment at its recently-opened site in Hixon, near Stafford. It will support Getley’s specialist Alku operations, which is focussed on higher value products.
The new equipment will mean the firm can manufacture all elements of the cabinets it produces on site and increase the efficiency of the manufacturing process. It will enable the business to increase its overall output by more than one-third. As a result, it hopes to increase its turnover by 43 per cent and double the number of people it employs within the next five years.
The move to the new site will create around 30 jobs in Getley’s production team and will provide opportunities for people to develop their skills on the job with guidance from members of the experienced Getley team.
Emanuela Getley, finance director at Getley UK, said: “The growth of the business has accelerated rapidly over the past couple of years and it quickly became clear that we needed to increase our capacity. The new machinery will mean we can do more on site, which gives us greater control over the different processes, and means we have more capacity and the potential to make a wider range of products.
“We faced some challenges during the move but securing the funding we needed was one of the most straightforward aspects of the process. The guidance we received from the Lloyds Bank team has been incredibly important and we’re looking forward to continuing our relationship with them as we grow further.”
Julie Cranmer, associate director, asset finance at Lloyds Bank, said: “Getley UK has enjoyed really impressive growth and we’re pleased to support them with the investment they need to ensure they can continue on this trajectory.”
Mark Meakin, relationship manager at Lloyds Bank, said: “Getley UK is another fantastic example of an ambitious local firm that is prospering. The business community here in Staffordshire is looking ahead with optimism and we will remain by their side to help them make the most of any new opportunities that come their way.” | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/business/business-picks/2022/06/21/cabinet-manufacturer-opening-door-to-growth-with-new-investment/ | 2022-06-21T06:49:53Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/business/business-picks/2022/06/21/cabinet-manufacturer-opening-door-to-growth-with-new-investment/ | true | 1 |

Additional Updates
Mask Guidance: Under California’s mask guidance, universal masking is required only in specified higher risk settings like hospitals, public transit and congregate living facilities. Unvaccinated persons are required to mask in all indoor public settings. Fully vaccinated individuals are recommended to continue indoor masking when the risk may be high. Workplaces will continue to follow the COVID-19 prevention standards set by CalOSHA. Local health jurisdictions may implement requirements that are stricter than state guidance.
Slow the Spread: Get Vaccinated and Boosted for COVID-19
The risk for COVID-19 exposure and infection continues as a number of Californians remain unvaccinated and unboosted.
Real-world evidence continues to show that the vaccine is preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death. Public health officials urge Californians to get vaccinated and boosted as soon as possible.
It is recommended that every vaccinated person 12 years or older should get a booster as long as they received their second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine at least five months ago or they received their Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least two months ago.
Vaccination appointments can be made by visiting myturn.ca.gov or calling 1-833-422-4255. The consent of a parent or legal guardian may be needed for those under age 18 to receive a vaccination.

Down More Than 45% in 2022, is Now a Good Time to Buy Ceridian HCM?
Shares of human capital management solutions provider Ceridian HCM Holding (CDAY) plummeted more than 55% year-to-date due to the extended tech rout. As the equity markets remain under pressure ahead of the Fed’s latest rate hike announcement, is now a good time to scoop up shares of CDAY? Read more to find out.
Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. ( CDAY ) is a human capital management software company. Its popular solutions include Dayforce, Powerpay, and Bureau solutions. However, the company has an ISS Governance QualityScore of 9, indicating high governance risk.
Shares of CDAY have declined 55.6% year-to-date and 15.9% over the past month, primarily due to the ongoing tech rout. As the Fed is expected to intensify its hawkish stance, shares of software solutions company CDAY might plummet further in the near term.
Here’s what could shape CDAY’s performance in the near term:
Poor Financials
CDAY’s total revenues increased 25.1% year-over-year to $293.30 million in the fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2022. However, the company’s operating loss widened 687.5% from the same period last year to $18.60 million. EBT loss nearly doubled from the prior-year quarter to $24.40 million, while net loss worsened 42.7% from the year-ago value to $27.40 million. Loss per share amounted to $0.18, compared to a $0.13 loss reported in the prior-year quarter.
Bleak Profit Margins
CDAY’s trailing-12-month EBIT margin stood at a negative 3.57%, while its net income margin was negative 7.72%. The company’s trailing-12-month ROE of negative 3.89% compares with the industry average of 7.67%. Moreover, its trailing-12-month ROA and ROTC stand at negative 0.76% and 0.72%, respectively.
CDAY’s trailing-12-month gross profit margin of 42.61% is 15.4% lower than the industry average of 50.38%.
Stretched Valuation
In terms of non-GAAP forward P/E, CDAY is currently trading at 102.32x, 504.4% higher than the industry average of 16.93x. Its forward EV/EBITDA multiple of 40.72 is 256.4% higher than the industry average of 11.42.
In addition, the stock is currently trading 5.66 times its forward Sales, 118.8% higher than the industry average of 2.59. Its forward Price/Cash Flow ratio of 63.14 is 294.3% higher than the industry average of 16.01. Also, CDAY’s forward EV/Sales multiple of 6.64 is 154.7% higher than the industry average of 2.64.
POWR Ratings Reflect Bleak Prospects
CDAY has an overall rating of D, which translates to Sell in our proprietary POWR Ratings system. The POWR Ratings are calculated considering 118 distinct factors, with each factor weighted to an optimal degree.
The stock has a grade of D for Momentum and Quality. The stock is currently trading below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages of $57.03 and $87.10, respectively, indicating a death-cross downtrend in sync with the Momentum grade. In addition, CDAY’s negative net profit margin and ROE justify the Quality grade.
CDAY is ranked #129 out of 155 stocks in the F-rated Software – Application industry.
Beyond what I’ve stated above, view CDAY ratings for Growth, Sentiment, Stability, and Value here .
Bottom Line
Shares of CDAY have declined more than 50% since the beginning of 2022, compared to the benchmark Nasdaq Composite index’s 29.7% decline. As the Fed gears up to hike interest rates by 75 basis points, the overvalued CDAY stock is expected to remain under pressure in the near term. Moreover, given the increasing borrowing costs, CDAY’s profit margins might shrink further in the upcoming quarters. Thus, CDAY is bst avoided now.
How Does Ceridian HCM Holding (CDAY) Stack Up Against its Peers?
While CDAY has a D rating in our proprietary rating system, one might want to consider looking at its industry peers, Commvault Systems, Inc. ( CVLT ), Rimini Street Inc. ( RMNI ), and Enghouse Systems Limited ( EGHSF ), which have an A (Strong Buy) rating.
CDAY shares were trading at $45.23 per share on Thursday morning, down $1.98 (-4.19%). Year-to-date, CDAY has declined -56.70%, versus a -22.12% rise in the benchmark S&P 500 index during the same period.

Election 2022: Trump endorsement flip scrambles Alabama race
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Standing in the sweltering summer heat on the steps of the Alabama Capitol earlier this month, Republican Senate candidate Mo Brooks was hailed by organizers of the Jan. 6, 2021, rally in Washington for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election and keep former President Donald Trump in power.
“I was proud to stand with Mo Brooks on that stage that day,” said Amy Kremer, chair of Women for America First. “Mo has the truth on his side.”
Less than 10 hours later, Trump returned the favor by snubbing the congressman — for a second time — and instead endorsing rival Katie Britt in Tuesday’s Republican runoff election for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Britt’s former boss, retiring GOP Sen. Richard Shelby.
Alabama is one of a handful of states holding contests Tuesday at the midpoint of a primary season that has been shaped by Trump’s effort to influence the GOP. In Virginia, Republicans are choosing between Trump-aligned congressional candidates to take on some of the most vulnerable Democrats in the fall. And in Georgia, Democrats will settle several close races, including deciding which Democrat will challenge Brad Raffensperger, the Republican secretary of state who overcame a Trump-backed challenge last month.
In Washington, D.C., meanwhile, Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser is seeking reelection amid concerns over homelessness and rising crime.
But the Alabama Senate runoff has drawn particular attention both because of the drama surrounding Trump’s endorsement and the fact that the winner will likely prevail in November in a state Trump won twice by more than 25 percentage points.
Trump initially endorsed Brooks in the spring of 2021, rewarding an ardent champion of his baseless claims of a stolen election. Brooks had voted against certifying President Joe Biden’s victory and delivered a fiery speech at the rally that proceeded the U.S. Capitol insurrection, telling the crowd, “Today is the day that American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass.”
But nearly a year later, Trump rescinded his support after the pair’s relationship soured and as the conservative firebrand languished in the polls. Trump blamed his decision on comments Brooks had made months earlier, at an August rally, when he said it was time for the party to move on from the 2020 presidential race — comments Trump claimed showed Brooks, one of the most conservative members of Congress, had gone “woke.”
But the move was widely seen as an effort by Trump to save face amid other losses, and Brooks alleged that it came after he informed Trump that there was no way to “rescind” the 2020 election, remove Biden from power, or hold a new special election for the presidency.
Trump’s un-endorsement was widely expected to end Brooks’ campaign. Instead, Brooks managed to finish second in the state’s May 24 primary, earning 29% of the vote to Britt’s 45% and forcing a runoff.
Brooks tried once again to get Trump to endorse him, but Trump, who has had a mixed record in backing winning candidates, instead chose Britt, Shelby’s former chief of staff, calling her a “fearless America First Warrior.”
While Brooks and Britt have similar views, their race represents a clash between two wings of the party and different generations. Shelby for decades epitomized the old-guard political style, using his clout and relationships to quietly steer federal projects and funding to his home state.
Britt, 40, has the endorsement of Shelby and other establishment Republicans, as well as deep ties to the state’s business community, reflected in her 2-1 fundraising advantage over Brooks.
Brooks, 68, is known for his bombastic oratory style. The six-term congressman was a founding member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus and has made his opposition to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell a pillar of his campaign, embarking on a “Fire McConnell Tour” of town halls. A super PAC affiliated with McConnell contributed $2 million to a PAC opposing Brooks.
He also has the backing of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who say he would be a needed hard-line addition to the Senate.
“This is a race about conservatives versus the establishment,” Paul said Friday in north Alabama. “We need a fighter. We’re not going to get it if you send us any old Republican. We need a fighter like Mo Brooks.”
Britt, meanwhile, stresses her own social conservative beliefs and has tried to paint Brooks as a career politician, saying Alabamians want “new blood.”
“President Trump knows that Alabamians are sick and tired of failed, do-nothing career politicians. It’s time for the next generation of conservatives to step up and shake things up in Washington,” she said after Trump’s endorsement.
Brooks has disparaged Britt as a RINO — the GOP pejorative meaning “Republican in name only” — and maintained he is the only one with a proven conservative record.
Turnout in the race is expected to be low, with fewer than 15% of registered voters likely to cast ballots, according to Secretary of State John Merrill.
Elsewhere, in the nation’s capital, where Democratic primaries effectively decide winners, Bowser is trying to fend off challenges from a pair of City Council members as the city contends with a rash of crime, including a shooting Sunday in one of the city’s busiest nightlife destinations that left a 15-year-old dead and a police officer and at least two others wounded.
In Virginia, voters are set to pick Republican nominees for what is expected to be a pair of the year’s most competitive U.S. House races.
In the coastal 2nd District, state Sen. Jen Kiggans is widely seen as the GOP front-runner in the Republican race to take on Democrat Elaine Luria, a retired Naval commander and member of the House Jan. 6 committee, in the general election. In central Virginia’s 7th District, six candidates are in a competitive race to face Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA officer.
And in Georgia, Democratic state Rep. Bee Nguyen is trying to defeat former state Rep. Dee Dawkins-Haigler in the secretary of state’s race. The winner will face Republican Raffensperger, who rebuffed Trump’s efforts to “find” enough votes to overturn Biden’s win in the state’s 2020 presidential election and beat back a Trump-endorsed challenger in his May 24 primary.
In congressional runoffs, Republican Vernon Jones, a Trump-backed candidate and former Democrat, is competing against trucking company owner Mike Collins for the Republican nomination for the 10th Congressional District seat east of Atlanta.
Republicans also have high hopes of knocking off 30-year Democratic Rep. Sanford Bishop in southwest Georgia’s 2nd District. The GOP is choosing between former Army officer Jeremy Hunt and real estate developer Chris West.

I like writing – whether it will last on a physical page, if people look beyond its contents – and so am quite happy sharing links or reading comments here in Worddile Blipfolio and on FaceSpace… where comments here can get missed (as Wordflare is less public) you might have a slightly broader reach posting in F-space. So just go there when the words (like many more to share over these days in the UK; you guys get a long one), Production-focused ISO 26262 ASIL rated solutions for S32Z and S32E enable customers to build and deploy zonal/domain platforms for future vehicle architectures and EV propulsion control systems
NUREMBERG, Germany, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Embedded World, Hall 4 Stand 325 — Green Hills Software, the worldwide leader in embedded safety and security, today announced their plan for delivering comprehensive support for the new S32Z and S32E real-time processor families from NXP® Semiconductors to help enable safe and secure mixed-criticality execution and consolidation in next generation zonal and domain vehicle platforms. Green Hills Software's products and expert services will form the industry's most complete offering of foundational software for the S32Z and S32E processors composed of:
- the ultra-small and fast, ASIL-certified, µ-velOSity™ real-time operating system,
- the µ-visor™ thin type-1 hypervisor that simultaneously hosts multiple guest operating systems such as AUTOSAR® Classic, µ-velOSity, FreeRTOS, Zephyr® RTOS and more, and
- the ASIL-certified MULTI® advanced development environment.
The combined hardware-software solution from NXP and Green Hills builds on three decades of successful collaboration between the companies that will help enable global OEMs and Tier 1s to dramatically reduce the time and cost of developing and deploying new consolidated domain and zonal architectures and vehicle control at the highest levels of ISO 26262 safety and ISO/SAE 21434 security.
Emerging designs for next-generation vehicle electronics must adapt to accommodate the growth and consolidation of software features and increased complexity in these new architectures. OEMs and Tier 1s will require more computing performance to support these new capabilities and challenges. A key challenge is to consolidate the necessary hardware and software in a manner that guarantees freedom from interference for critical functions while providing uncompromised real-time performance, low cost, and extensive design flexibility for future adaptations. At the same time, advanced multicore, multi-OS software development tools are needed to increase developer productivity while reducing the time and cost to develop and integrate millions of lines of new code. The combined platform of Green Hills and NXP targeting the S32Z and S32E addresses this challenge.
"We're pleased to be working with Green Hills to provide our customers a combined solution to accelerate and consolidate safe, real-time applications for emerging domain and zonal vehicle architectures," says Ray Cornyn, Senior Vice President and General Manager Vehicle Control and Networking Solutions Business Line at NXP. "Today's zonal and domain controller ECUs need the high-performance real-time processing of the breakout S32Z and S32E real-time processors combined with a scalable, safe and secure software offering from proven partners like Green Hills."
"By providing broad production-focused software solutions for NXP's new multicore S32Z and S32E real-time processor families, joint customers can start immediately developing their next-generation vehicle ECUs with the highest performant, most scalable and configurable offerings available," said Dan Mender, Vice President, Business Development, Green Hills Software. "And with this combined hardware-software solution, time to market and cost to develop are drastically reduced by starting with production proven offerings.
The products and services of Green Hills are the most complete ecosystem offering of production-focused foundational software in the market, enabling customers to optimize their use of the S32Z and S32E real-time processor families' unique combination of gigahertz real-time speed, safe multi-applications integration and expansion memory.
The µ-velOSity RTOS is a tiny, fast and easy-to-program, memory-efficient real-time operating system for multicore designs with ASIL requirements. µ-velOSity needs only a few kilobytes of ROM and boots quickly in a minimum of processor cycles. Its ultra-small context switch time and fast kernel service calls also make it ideal for real-time automotive functions.
The µ-visor hypervisor is a thin and efficient type-1 hypervisor designed to safely consolidate concurrently running critical workloads on the Arm® Cortex®-R52 processors inside NXP S32Z and S32E processors. Its architecture leverages processor features to enforce separation, manage access control and accelerate virtual machine operations, enabling multiple operating systems such as AUTOSAR Classic, FreeRTOS, Zephyr RTOS, and µ-velOSity to efficiently run with freedom from interference. µ-visor features a variety of core scheduling options to meet various ECU consolidation use cases and to ensure extremely low overhead. This vendor/OS-independent virtualization decouples hardware and software giving designers greater flexibility for adding new functionality and reusing on other projects.
Developers utilizing NXP's S32Z and S32E processors will see a significant increase in productivity by relying on the Green Hills OS-agnostic MULTI advanced integrated development tools that include Green Hills optimizing C/C++ compilers. The unmatched performance and ASIL certification of Green Hills optimizing C/C++ compilers and run-time libraries for Cortex-R52 has made Green Hills the industry standard C/C++ compiler since 2016. When Arm announced the Cortex-R52, they relied on the Green Hills compiler to achieve the "highest in class" performance scores. MULTI also features the industry's most advanced multicore, multi-OS debugging and visualization features that empower developers to find and fix bugs faster, use less processor memory, and reduce costly software recalls.
In the Green Hills Software booth at Embedded World, Hall 4 Booth 325, Green Hills will demonstrate the µ-visor hypervisor safely hosting multiple operating systems on the S32Z processor, along with advanced debugging and visualization through the MULTI IDE and Green Hills C/C++ compilers.
Founded in 1982, Green Hills Software is the worldwide leader in embedded safety and security. In 2008, the Green Hills INTEGRITY®-178 RTOS was the first and only operating system to be certified by NIAP (National Information Assurance Partnership comprised of NSA & NIST) to EAL 6+, High Robustness, the highest level of security ever achieved for any software product. Our open architecture integrated development solutions address deeply embedded, absolute security and high-reliability applications for the military/avionics, medical, industrial, automotive, networking, consumer and other markets that demand industry-certified solutions.

'We are ready', Ukraine towns insist as Russians advance
"The city is ready to defend itself," insists Vadym Lyakh, mayor of Sloviansk in eastern Ukraine which could soon become a fighting hotspot as Moscow's troops advance from the north.
Outside his office in this small leafy city in the Donetsk region, people were on Monday filling up bottles from a large water barrel.
The situation "is complex, because the front in recent weeks has come closer, to within 15-20 kilometres (9-12 miles)," Lyakh told AFP, dressed in a military-style khaki T-shirt.
Hopefully, "the new weaponry that our army needs will come soon", he said.
The fighting has already affected people in Sloviansk.
"There's no (mains) water, no gas, but at least we have electricity," said Yuriy, 66, as he filled a five-litre bottle with water to flush the toilet.

Due to heavy fighting in areas with pumping stations, "there's no (mains) water at all at the moment, only natural springs and tankers," the mayor said.
Although the electricity supply was "unstable", a third of the shops were open and aid was coming in, he said.
Despite the hardships, Yuriy's 63-year-old wife Valentina was upbeat about the prospects for Ukraine's forces.
"We believe they'll beat the Russian scum," she said.
If it comes to it, it won't be the first time there's been a battle for control of Sloviansk, as its recent history shows.
It was seized by Russia-backed separatists in 2014 and then retaken by Ukrainian forces after a lengthy siege.
'They know what's best'
On Monday, the distant thud of artillery could be heard in the main square.
As municipal chief, the mayor says he doesn't interfere in military matters although he is in contact with the army every day.
"If it's necessary for defence, it will be done, regardless of who objects," he said.
"They know best what is necessary for military operations."
The Donetsk regional governor Pavlo Kyrylenko also speaks with President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Lyakh said he hadn't spoken to officials in war-torn cities further east, such as Severodonetsk and Lysychansk.
"The algorithm is clear: everything will depend on the situation on the front," he said.
Preparations include setting up "working spaces... in bomb shelters and hospital basements to give emergency care even under bombing".
Before the war, Sloviansk had a population of some 100,000 people but now only has a quarter of that, which Lyakh said was still "a lot".
"We're putting more emphasis on evacuation... Unfortunately people don't always listen," he said.
'Awaiting a miracle'
In Kramatorsk, another city facing a possible Russian onslaught, the atmosphere was more bustling, with crowds of soldiers in supermarkets and cafes.
"For now, it's more or less quiet," mayor Oleksandr Goncharenko told AFP.
"In the evenings or at night you can see some explosions about 40-45 kilometres away."
The Russians were coming "closer but our army is trying to hold the positions now," he added.
In recent months, the authorities and the army had helped build up the defences and Kramatorsk was "more or less" ready, he said.
"We're all waiting for a miracle, we're hoping for peace, for this fratricidal war to end soon," said Valentina, 57, selling Caucasian-style bread and cheese at the city's indoor market.
"So far everything is OK here but it's very hard psychologically when you see on TV what is happening in other cities," said Svitlana, 48, a butcher at the market.
The city still has mains water and electricity, despite occasional power cuts.
"The only thing we don't have in the Donetsk region is gas, because of the broken pipes from the Kharkiv and Lugansk regions," Goncharenko said, referring to war-torn areas.
Some 30 percent of the residents -- around 60,000 people -- were still living in the city, with phone records showing that 10,000 people who had left had recently come back, he said.
"If something happens or the war comes closer, it would be more dangerous for them," he said, warning that "Russian terrorists" could use the local population as human shields.

John Kerry Put on Notice, New Legislation Targets His Spending of Taxpayer Money
New legislation would clip the wings of Climate Czar John Kerry.
Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas has introduced a bill that would ground Kerry, who has spent the Biden administration jetting around the world to protest the use of fossil fuels.
The legislation is called the “No Taxpayer Funding For Climate Zealots Advancing Radical Schemes Act” or No Taxpayer Funding for CZARS Act
Roy explained the reason for his bill in a news release on his website.
“Hardworking Americans are struggling every day to afford gas and electricity because of the disastrous energy policies peddled by hysterical fools like John Kerry,” he said.
“The Biden administration’s jet-setting ‘climate czar’ is actively destroying reliable American energy by saddling us with outrageous commitments at hypocritical climate conferences, pressuring banks not to lend to fossil fuel producers, and fighting to end oil and gas production,” he said.
“Enough. If we’re going to fight for energy freedom in this country, we have to defund climate tyrants like John Kerry; my bill would do just that,” he said.
Unleash Energy Freedom.
Defund Tyrants.
Chip Roy Introduces Bill To ‘Defund Climate Tyrants Like John Kerry’ https://t.co/r8mpJNVwgt
— Chip Roy (@chiproytx) June 17, 2022
The bill’s co-sponsors include Republicans Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Mary Miller of Illinois, Louie Gohmert of Texas, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Greg Steube of Florida.
The law is focused on cutting Kerry’s ability to spend taxpayer dollars.
“Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal funds may be used for the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, including for salary, administrative, and travel expenses of the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate and for any other activity of the Special Presidential 4 Envoy for Climate,” the legislation said.
Exactly how much Kerry is spending in his advocacy remains a secret the Biden administration does not want to share.
In March, according to Fox News, the watchdog group Protect the Public’s Trust filed a lawsuit against the State Department after the department said it would not comply with a Freedom of Information Act request to learn how much Kerry’s office is costing Americans until Nov. 18, 2024 — when a new president might have been elected.
In a statement, the group said the State Department’s due date “conveniently allows it to hide information about high-level political appointees working on one of the administration’s highest priorities until just after the next presidential election.”
“The Biden administration promised to be the most transparent ever,” Michael Chamberlain, the group’s director, said, according to Fox.
“But when the State Department is asked for records about John Kerry’s office – whose work touches on energy prices, international relations, many of the issues the American public cares about right now – they refuse to commit to anything until after the next presidential election.”
“It doesn’t take a huge cynic to believe politics may be a factor,” Chamberlain said.

LONDON (AP) — Ousmane Dieng of France moved to Australia for a season to hone his skills. Nikola Jović stayed home in Serbia.
Both are expected to end up in the NBA, though, since they are among the top international prospects in Thursday night's draft.
Both are versatile 6-foot-10 wings who only recently turned 19 years old after completing their first professional season.
Dieng played for the New Zealand Breakers in Australia's National Basketball League as part of its Next Stars program, which has become a hotspot for NBA prospects. Jović was voted top prospect in the ABA League after his first full season for Belgrade club Mega, which produced reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokić.
Here’s a look at some of the top international players in the draft:
JOVIĆ
STRENGTHS: Multi-faceted scorer with court vision and playmaking skills. He averaged 11.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists this season and shot 36.5% from 3-point range.
Jović told The Associated Press he had worked out for the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs — as of Monday both teams had three first-round picks — the Denver Nuggets (the 21st and 30th selections), the Chicago Bulls (No. 18), the Minnesota Timberwolves (No. 19), and the Milwaukee Bucks (the 24th pick). He also had workouts scheduled with the Miami Heat, who have the 27th pick, and the champion Golden State Warriors (No. 28).
“My basketball IQ is really good, shooting-wise I’m really good, also passing. Those are things I can immediately translate to the NBA,” Jović said.
CONCERNS: Jović doesn't possess an explosive first step. Entering the season at 200 pounds, there were also concerns about his strength, but he has bulked up and now weighs 224 pounds.
“I’m working on my whole body. Core stability is really important for me,” said Jović, who turned 19 this month.
Rafael Barlowe, director of scouting at NBA Big Board, said Jović projects as “a league-average defender” and said the right fit will be vital: “He could end up in a bad situation like Deni Avdija (Washington Wizards) on team where he doesn’t have the opportunity to handle the ball and he’s stuck in a corner.”
DIENG
The lanky Frenchman recovered from a slow start in Australia to show flashes of why he could be a potential lottery pick.
STRENGTHS: Perimeter skills, playmaking potential, can defend multiple positions. He averaged 8.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. His 3-point shooting percentage was in the single digits early, but over the final 12 games of the season it was 35%.
“I just needed to find my rhythm and kept working on my game,” he said.
Dieng worked out with “a lot” of teams but declined to name them.
“I can fit in any team because I’m pretty versatile, so I can do whatever the coach wants me to do,” he said. “I’m a pretty hard worker and really versatile with good vision and can do everything on the floor.”
CONCERNS: Shooting consistency and frame. He needs to add bulk. At 215 pounds, he’s about 10 pounds heavier than early in the season, when he sometimes looked lost.
“The gap between third division in France and the NBL is really big. Everything is quicker and everything is more physical,” he said, adding that playing among former NBA players “was really good for me.”
Some other internationals with no U.S. experience:
— ISMAEL KAMAGATE: A 6-11, 230-pound center for Paris Basket. The 21-year-old Frenchman averaged 11.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game. He rejected nine shots in a game against Roanne. French league all-star.
— KHALIFA DIOP: The latest Senegalese big man, a 7-foot-1, 240-pound center for Gran Canaria in Spain. He averaged 6.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game.
— HUGO BESSON: The 21-year-old shooting guard played with Dieng on the New Zealand Breakers. The 6-4 Frenchman averaged 13.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. Shot 30.8% from 3-point range.
— GABRIELE PROCIDA: An athletic 6-7 Italian who shot 38.3% from behind the arc for Bologna.
LOOKING AHEAD
The 7-foot-3 Victor Wembanyama of France might have been this year's top pick — possibly last year's too. The 18-year-old will finally be eligible in 2023.
With his size and skills — ball-handling, shooting, rim protection — Wembanyama is considered a generational talent. He finished with 22 points, eight rebounds and eight blocks against a stacked United States team that included Chet Holmgren in the final of the FIBA Under-19 World Cup last July. He plays for ASVEL, the French team owned by Tony Parker.
“If he maximizes all of his gifts," Barlowe said, “he could easily be one of the best players in his generation.”

The Boston Celtics have built a great foundation. Their current core just wrapped up their first trip to the NBA Finals, and although they ended up losing to the Golden State Warriors, it was still a great experience for their young group of guys.
Head coach Ime Udoka deserves a ton of credit for how well the Celtics operated this past year, but so does Brad Stevens. While Danny Ainge was the one who drafted most of the guys on the roster, Stevens made the necessary moves to get the team to this point, such as bringing in Al Horford and Derrick White.
However, just because Stevens has moved to the front office doesn’t mean he would never go back to coaching. In fact, Steve Bulpett of Heavy.com pointed out that, if Stevens were to ever return to the coaching game, he would have his pick of the litter.
“Here’s the thing, too, look at it from Brad Stevens’ point of view, leaving aside everything else—you know that if you decide to get back into the coach game, you know that you are going to have opportunities whenever you want, wherever you want, whether it is professional or, certainly, college, he would have his pick of top jobs,” Bulpett stated.
This tidbit of information came on the back of reports that Ainge could potentially try to steal Stevens and bring him to the Utah Jazz to fill their head-coaching vacancy.
Stevens-Jazz Rumors Broken Down
Bulpett also discussed this idea, but he said it isn’t very likely to happen. He stated that Stevens is content with his position in Boston and isn’t looking to move anytime soon.
“I spoke with Brad some toward the end of the year, and I got a feeling he is committed to this situation,” Bulpett told Sean Deveney of Heavy.com. “He seems to be OK with this. He has taken the route where he has had a lot less contact with the Boston media, so he has kind of kept his work-life balance in a good place, which is what’s important to him.”
Utah has plenty of other candidates to consider, but with Ainge leading the charge, it was inevitable that Stevens’ name would come up in potential conversations.
And according to Bulpett, the two of them still talk regularly.
Stevens Regularly Speaks to Ainge
Ainge was the GM who hired Stevens, worked with him for years, and helped him grow this current Celtics core, so it’s not surprising that the two still talk regularly. However, Bulpett also noted that Stevens is his own person, effectively shutting down any Stevens-to-Utah talk.
“I know that Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens communicate regularly,” Bulpett revealed. “Danny hired Brad as coach out of Butler in 2013 and it surprised a lot of people. But there is a relationship there. Brad went to Danny, particularly before Danny signed on as CEO of the Jazz, they were discussing things even more then. But Brad is his own guy.
Just because Stevens and Ainge are still friends doesn’t mean that he’ll be ditching the Celtics for the Jazz. However, if Stevens ever did decide to coach again, Bulpett believes that he could potentially go wherever he wanted. | https://heavy.com/sports/boston-celtics/brad-stevens-coaching-return-rumors-jazz/ | 2022-06-21T07:32:26Z | https://heavy.com/sports/boston-celtics/brad-stevens-coaching-return-rumors-jazz/ | true | 1 |

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) TV shows are more enjoyable than their recent movies. The sentence is blasphemous to some. However, there’s a possibility you’re nodding your head in agreement about this statement.
Take the recent premiere of Disney+’s Ms. Marvel as an example. If it were a summer movie blockbuster, the kind Marvel typically makes, we would’ve been introduced to Kamala Khan 20 minutes into the film—long after the movie’s villain was introduced.
Audiences would then be given just the next 20 minutes or so to understand Kamala through a quick examination of her personality and those of her family members.
Instead of the revised origin story used in the TV show, which focuses on Pakistani legends, the movie version of Kamala would get a similar treatment as her comic book counterpart, who gains her inherent Inhuman abilities from the release of the Terrigen Mists. Most likely, this would connect to an upcoming Inhumans film because cross-promotion is necessary for the MCU.
The rest of the Ms. Marvel cinematic blockbuster would comprise millions of dollars in CGI effects as the hero initially succeeds against the antagonist and then fails horribly. Of course, there would be valleys among the action peaks where the audience would watch Kamala and her supporting cast jokingly discuss her new powers and her reluctance to be a superhero. However, since the movie’s producers anticipate a sequel to be released three years later, theater-goers would only get a taste of Kamala’s strengths and weaknesses. After all, why address them in the first film when it can be a plot point in the long-awaited second installment?
Instead, the movie’s script would have Kamala save a family member or her best friend Bruno from the villain’s diabolical scheme. She would learn more about her inner strength, successfully defeat the antagonist, land in her family’s good graces, kiss Bruno as she always wanted, and receive an end-credit scene featuring a prominent MCU character.
It’s almost too easy to imagine what the Ms. Marvel movie would be like, because the MCU’s cinematic output has become formulaic to a fault. The predictability of it all is almost cynical, and it’s a trap that the Disney+ series refreshingly avoids. In fact, watching Ms. Marvel feels like watching a different kind of Marvel project entirely.
That kind of MCU storytelling set up worked for movies like Iron Man, Avengers, and the Spider-Man series, and was a major, if exhausting, strategy in the first three phases of film releases. However, things have changed since the MCU-based TV shows on Disney+ became part of Marvel’s Phase Four plans. It’s why the MCU TV shows have, by and large, become far more enjoyable than the movies.
Today’s fans want more from the characters they adore, which brings us back to Ms. Marvel’s debut. It doesn’t spend its first minutes dissecting the plans of a would-be galactic emperor. Instead, we get to see what Kamala is all about. It turns out she’s a seemingly normal 16-year-old high school student.
Kamala is relatable from the first beats of The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” that starts the program. She loves superheroes, particularly Captain Marvel, and has a vlog that concentrates on their achievements and gossipy theories.
Three-quarters of Ms. Marvel sets up her parents’ suffocating strictness and her urge to attend AvengerCon and immerse herself in a comfortable universe. Even 60 minutes at this fanfest will help get her through days of sameness and frustration.
Every viewer can connect to some part of Kamala’s life. Teenagers gasp and say to themselves, “This is, like, what I’m going through.” Adults think, “Man, this is what I went through.” The internal thoughts of parents start with, “Is this what my child is going through?”
When Kamala gains her powers in the last 10 minutes of the premiere, she sees an opportunity to get away from it all. She doesn’t change her mindset after her mother catches Kamala sneaking into her room from AvengerCon. When her mother asks her daughter if she wants to be normal or some sort of cosmic superhero, Kamala chooses the latter as she looks at her hand sizzling with energy.
You don’t get this in a two-hour MCU movie that focuses more on action than character development.
The current situation shouldn’t be a surprise to executives. Before Disney+, Marvel Studios produced several well-liked live-action series based on comic book street heroes like Luke Cage, Daredevil, and Jessica Jones. Their popularity was so immense that fans screamed for them to air on Disney+, which they eventually did in March of 2022.
Yet, when Marvel decided to integrate its next batch of streaming shows directly into the MCU, they were unsure of previous successes. Meanwhile, fans of the grittier Netflix-produced programs believed new shows would be shoot-em-ups like Captain Marvel or Endgame. WandaVision shifted this mentality.
The first MCU streaming program took Scarlet Witch’s relationship with Vision, briefly seen in Infinity War, and metaphorically blew it up. We felt Wanda’s pain as she tried to hold together her family through magic. For many fans, WandaVision is the perfect mix of grief and nostalgia. Plus, it established a scenario about Wanda’s emotional state and the destruction she caused in Multiverse of Madness.
WandaVision provides another example of why the MCU’s TV shows are more popular: they now influence what goes on in the movies. The events of Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and Hawkeye will most likely play into the next phase of MCU films. By then, fans will have an intimate knowledge of the characters. Because of this, they’ll enjoy the big-screen installments more with background information at hand.
The interest in MCU’s TV shows is more about the characters’ personalities. It’s also in how these series use the canvas of a multi-episode arc. From the films, we know Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye is a crack shot, has a loving wife and children, and that’s it. His 2021 Disney+ show revealed his humor, strength of character underneath an imperfect surface, and a reluctance/eagerness to train a new generation of heroes.
There’s also the opportunity to utilize some of Marvel’s A-minus-list and B-list characters in their live-action and animated programs. Again, Ms. Marvel is a great example. Since her 2014 introduction, she has received overwhelming fan and critical support. Kamala’s positive attitude among chaos presented an opportunity for her to become an Avenger.
In addition to this, she’s a teenage superhero, and that’s a small population in the Marvel Universe. Young adolescents relate more to Kamala and Miles Morales than Thor. Although the Trinity of Captain America, Iron Man, and the son of Odin are fun to watch, teens think of them as empty vessels with powers.
Ms. Marvel represents a new phase of MCU production. Rather than expanding on film-established personalities, they’re turning to other fan-favorite comic book characters. Case in point, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Scheduled for August 2022, the series focuses on Bruce Banner’s cousin, Jennifer Walters. She’s not only an attorney but also has the Hulk’s powers, thanks to an injection of Bruce’s blood.
There’s still anticipation for the MCU movies like the July release of Thor: Blood and Thunder. Yet, the fervor established by Endgame or No Way Home isn’t there anymore. Conversely, there’s continual chatter about Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and the new seasons of Falcon and the Winter Soldier and What If? Viewers want to know everything about them and their connection to the rest of the live-action galaxy.
Shows like Ms. Marvel prove the MCU TV entities are more enjoyable than its films. It may sound simple, but after so many years, so many hours of film running times, and so many millions of dollars spent on action-heavy set pieces, the reason for this seems practically revelatory: It’s because they focus on the characters over the pew pews. | https://www.thedailybeast.com/ms-marvel-proves-that-marvels-tv-shows-are-now-way-better-than-their-movies?source=articles&via=rss | 2022-06-21T07:37:27Z | https://www.thedailybeast.com/ms-marvel-proves-that-marvels-tv-shows-are-now-way-better-than-their-movies?source=articles&via=rss | false | 2 |

Criton, which was founded by Julie Grieve and provides guest apps to more than 300 locations including hotels and serviced apartments, has been bought by hospitality technology outfit Nonius on undisclosed terms.
The combination of the two businesses will create an “unparalleled offering in the hospitality sector” allowing the merged companies to better serve a market that has grown “exponentially” since the pandemic hit in 2020, bosses said.
Criton said the pandemic had triggered significant growth in demand for its product as hotels struggled with how they could meet guest demand for contactless transactions.
Nonius was founded in 2005 and serves some 3,950 hotels around the world with internet access, networks management, interactive TV, digital signage and voice services. More recently, the firm has “significantly added” to its GuestU platform.
Grieve said: “I am delighted that we have agreed on terms with Nonius, a well-respected and innovative player in the hospitality market.
“I’ve been hugely impressed with their Nonius Hub and believe that together, our products will deliver exactly what hoteliers and their guests want, simple and effective mobile solutions bringing much needed digital transformation to a sector that has a challenging technology landscape and has been significantly impacted over the past two years of the pandemic.
“Since starting Criton we have always taken a customer-first approach. I am hugely proud of all we have achieved and I firmly believe this merger will create a world-leading mobile service allowing hoteliers to embrace the digital service their guests are demanding.”
Grieve will continue as director of Criton following the tie-up.
Antonio Silva, chief executive and co-founder of Nonius, added: “We have been watching Criton’s growth in the market with interest over the past five years and we are delighted that we have been able to agree on terms to acquire Criton.
“Since its inception, Criton has grown an inspiring client list and we are now starting to implement our plan to fully integrate our platforms to create a world-leading offering from which hoteliers and their guests can benefit.” | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/business/edinburgh-hospitality-tech-specialist-criton-bought-by-global-peer-3613161 | 2022-06-21T08:04:34Z | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/business/edinburgh-hospitality-tech-specialist-criton-bought-by-global-peer-3613161 | false | 2 |

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea launched its first domestically built space rocket on Tuesday in the country’s second attempt, months after its earlier liftoff failed to place a payload into orbit.
A successful launch would boost South Korea’s growing space ambitions but also prove it has key technologies to build a space-based surveillance system and bigger missiles amid animosities with rival North Korea, some experts say.
The three-stage Nuri rocket carrying what officials call a functioning “performance verification” satellite blasted from South Korea’s only space launch center on a small island off its southern coast at 4 p.m. Live TV footage showed the rocket with a national flag rising into the air with bright flames and above thick white smokes.
Officials are to announce the results of the launch later Tuesday.
In the first attempt last October, the rocket's dummy payload reached its desired altitude of 700 kilometers (435 miles) but didn't enter orbit because the engine of the rocket’s third stage burned out earlier than planned.
If Tuesday’s launch is successful, South Korea would become the world’s 10th nation to place a satellite into space with its own technology.
South Korea, the world’s 10th-largest economy, is a main supplier of semiconductors, automobiles and smartphones on world markets. But its space development program lags behind that of its Asian neighbors China, India and Japan.
North Korea placed its first and second Earth observation satellites into orbit in 2012 and 2016 though there is no proof that either one has ever transmitted spaced-based imagery and data back home. Those North Korean launches invited U.N. economic sanctions because they were viewed as covers for testing the country’s banned long-range missile technology.
Since the early 1990s, South Korea has sent a slew of satellites into space, but all from overseas launch sites or aboard a rocket built with the help of foreign technology. In 2013, South Korea successfully launched a satellite for the first time from its soil, but the first stage of its launch vehicle was manufactured by the Russians.
After Tuesday’s liftoff, South Korea plans to conduct four more Nuri rocket launches in coming years. It also hopes to send a probe to the moon, build next-generation space launch vehicles and send large-scale satellites into orbit.
South Korean officials said the Nuri rocket has no military purposes.
The transfer of space launch technology is strictly restricted under a multilateral export control regime because it has military applications. Experts say ballistic missiles and space launch vehicles share similar bodies, engines and other components, though missiles require a reentry vehicle and other technologies.
“If you put a satellite on the top of a rocket, it would become a space launch vehicle. But if you mount a warhead on it, it becomes a weapon,” said Kwon Yong Soo, a former professor at Korea National Defense University in South Korea. “If we succeed in Nuri’s launch, it’s really meaningful because we also succeed in the test of a long-range rocket that can be used to build a long-range missile.”
Lee Choon Geun, an honorary research fellow at South Korea’s Science and Technology Policy Institute, said it’s difficult to directly use Nuri as a missile because it uses liquid fuels that must be kept at an extremely low temperature and require much longer fueling time than solid fuels. He said North Korean long-range missiles also use liquid fuels, but extremely toxic ones that are maintained at ordinary temperatures and need faster fueling time than Nuri’s.
This year, North Korea has test-launched about 30 missiles with potential ranges that place the U.S. mainland and its regional allies like South Korea and Japan within striking distance.
Kwon said Nuri's successful Nuri launch would prove that South Korea also has the capability to send a spy satellite into orbit.
South Korea currently has no military reconnaissance satellites of its own and depends on U.S. spy satellites to monitor strategic facilities in North Korea. South Korea has said it would launch its own surveillance satellites soon. | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/S-Korea-launches-homegrown-space-rocket-in-2nd-17254534.php | 2022-06-21T08:15:54Z | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/S-Korea-launches-homegrown-space-rocket-in-2nd-17254534.php | false | 20 |
Mahatma Gandhi's grandson bows out of Indian presidential race
Gandhi was governor of West Bengal state between 2004 and 2009 after being appointed by the then-ruling Congress party
The grandson of India's independence leader Mahatma Gandhi has dropped out of the race to become president after his name was proposed by an alliance of opposition parties.
Gopalkrishna Gandhi, 77, a diplomat turned politician said he had declined the request of the 17-party alliance to be their nominee for the largely ceremonial role.
"I am most grateful to them. But having considered the matter deeply I see that the Opposition's candidate should be one who will generate a national consensus and a national atmosphere beside Opposition unity," Gandhi said in a statement on Monday.
National and state lawmakers are slated to vote on a new president on July 18.
The Indian head of state enjoys certain constitutional powers but largely acts on the advice of the government, making it more of a titular position.
But agreeing on a candidate and getting him or her elected would be a symbolic victory for India's splintered opposition after eight years of rule by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The BJP is likely to announce its own candidate this week and may again put forward the incumbent, Ram Nath Kovind, a member of India's marginalised Dalit community, to serve another term.
Gandhi, who was governor of West Bengal state between 2004 and 2009 after being appointed by the then-ruling Congress party, ran for vice-president in 2017 but lost out to a BJP candidate.
The paternal grandson of India's freedom movement icon is considered a vocal critic of Modi's Hindu nationalist policies and has accused the government of crushing dissent in the world's largest democracy.
Gandhi is the third person to decline an offer by the opposition to be their candidate.
The Gandhi dynasty of assassinated former prime ministers Indira and Rajiv Gandhi, and of current opposition figure Rahul Gandhi, are descended from India's first premier Jawaharlal Nehru and not from Mahatma Gandhi. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-10937059/Mahatma-Gandhis-grandson-bows-Indian-presidential-race.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-06-21T08:23:14Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-10937059/Mahatma-Gandhis-grandson-bows-Indian-presidential-race.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 15 |

Former Cameroon football star Samuel Eto’o has struck a deal with Spanish prosecutors to avoid going to jail for tax fraud he committed while playing for Barcelona, a court in the city announced Monday.
Eto’o, who played for Barcelona from 2004 to 2009, received a fine and a 22-month suspended sentence but will not serve any time, as is customary in Spain for prison terms of under two years for non-violent crimes.
Reports in Spain claim Eto’o, 41, will pay a fine of 1.8 million euros ($1.9 million).
The record four-time African footballer of the year and Jose Maria Mesalles — his former representative, who for his part was sentenced to 12 months and a fine — must reimburse Spanish tax authorities for the amount defrauded, around 3.9 million euros.
Prosecutors accused Eto’o of failing to declare income from the transfer of image rights between 2006 and 2009.
According to them, Eto’o transferred his image rights to a company based in Hungary which declared his earnings in that country, where the tax rate is one of the “lowest in Europe”.
A second Spanish company declared them in Spain at the corporate tax rate, less than the income tax that should have been paid.
Eto’o was the “real holder of the image rights”, maintained the prosecution, according to whom the transfer was fraudulent and only designed to pay less tax.
Eto’o, who last year was elected head of the Cameroonian football federation, is one of a number of football stars to have a run-in with Spanish tax authorities, following the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar. | https://www.citizen.co.za/sport/soccer/world-soccer/3125034/ex-footballer-samuel-etoo-pleads-guilty-to-tax-fraud-to-avoid-prison/ | 2022-06-21T08:26:15Z | https://www.citizen.co.za/sport/soccer/world-soccer/3125034/ex-footballer-samuel-etoo-pleads-guilty-to-tax-fraud-to-avoid-prison/ | true | 11 |
Johannesburg - If you live in Soweto or any township in the country, the term ‘load reduction’ will be all too familiar to you. And according to Soweto residents, these are power cuts implemented by Eskom only in black townships in places such as Braam Fischerville, Dobsonville, Mapetla, Dlamini and Diepkloof where the power can be out for five hours at a go.
This load reduction usually takes place between 5pm and 10pm when most people return home from work and have to cook supper for their families. And then load shedding would follow – meaning no electricity for the residents for the whole day.
Some residents breathe a sigh of relief when load shedding is scheduled because they sometimes escape load reduction.
Protea North locals were this week subjected to three nights of load reduction, with no power on some mornings. Many have resorted to using gas as an alternative source of power.
“They were repeatedly switching off Protea North at around 6pm without prior notice this week between Tuesday evening through to Thursday evening. This isn’t load reduction or load shedding, and with their simultaneous implementation, it means it was deliberate,” said Thabang Lekgatlhe, a resident in the area who was affected by the cuts.
However, Eskom spokesperson, Sikonathi Mantshansha said load reduction is a technical intervention to respond to the rising network equipment failures in high-density areas such as Soweto, with energy losses above 51%.
“It is unfortunate that Eskom was forced to resort to load reduction as one of the control measures to protect the equipment from failure due to network overloading, which causes damage to equipment that could lead to explosions of transformers and other equipment, placing both members of the public and property at risk. At times this has even led to fatalities,” Mantshantsha said.
In Soweto, Mantshantsha pointed out, Eskom has a total of 173 800 customers, of which 85 563 are zero buyers. That means more than 50% of customers in Soweto are zero buyers (do not pay for the electricity they use) while only 40% buy and pay for electricity.
“Improvement in payment levels (purchasing of electricity tokens from legal vendors) will qualify an area to be removed from the load reduction schedule. We are also conducting audits, removing illegal connections and acting against meter tampering, as well as imposing penalties for any transgression, while driving this initiative that is part of our multi-pronged strategy,” he said.
He added that load reduction is real-time management to protect the network and that Eskom continuously monitors the feeders to determine any reduction in losses.
17-year-old Reamohetswe Machike, from Naledi Extension 2 is an affected Grade 11 learner, saying getting ready for school was a challenge when there is no electricity.
“We didn’t have power on Tuesday night and on Wednesday morning. You are lucky if your geyser still has any hot water because you can take a decent bath in the morning to get ready for school.
"Food rots in the house due to lack of refrigeration. We, as a community, don't feel like Eskom cares about us here, nor wants to engage with the people," he said.
A frustrated Kabelo Noe said Eskom’s silence is deafening, and they need answers.
“When people physically respond (by being on the streets) they will be the first to blame residents. The South African Human Rights Commission and Eskom are abusing our rights. There has been no notification about load shedding in Protea North for days, and they keep ignoring our requests. Are we the only 'high-density area' in Soweto? You will never see Rosebank or Sandton on that list. It is all black areas,” he charged.
According to Mantshantsha, load shedding is implemented nationally and affects the whole country when Eskom does not have sufficient generating capacity to meet the demand for the entire country.
Load reduction gets suspended immediately once load shedding has been declared and implemented. In such a scenario, load reduction will only be implemented the day after load shedding is suspended.
“If the energy losses improve in a manner that the equipment is no longer at risk of failure or explosion, these customers are removed from the load reduction schedule.
“Eskom will continue implementing load reduction for as long as the circumstances that gave rise to the (imperfect) solution persist. That is: communities need to desist from causing energy losses by overloading the network through illegally connecting, bypassing meters and illegally tampering with infrastructure and desist from buying electricity units from illegal vendors. Communities also need to buy and pay for the electricity they have used.

As the sun creeps up over the hills and into your town on June 21, you’ll know it’s here. Just thinking about it likely brings up the smell of fresh cut grass and the taste of cold lemonade. Summer Solstice — also known as the first day of summer — has arrived.

Russian Nobel winner auctions Peace Prize medal for £84.5 MILLION to benefit Ukrainian children: Stunning amount paid for award made from gold worth about £8,000
- Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov sold his medal to raise funds for UNICEF
- An unidentified phone bidder made the staggering record bid for a Nobel Prize
- The 175 grams of 23-carat gold in the medal is worth £8,000 alone
A Russian journalist has auctioned his Nobel Peace Prize for a staggering £84.5million to raise funds for children displaced by the war in Ukraine.
Dmitry Muratov, the Russian editor-in-chief of the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, sold the gold medal to an unidentified phone bidder, shattering the previous record for a Nobel auction.
The New York sale organised by Heritage Auctions was spirited, with lots of applause and bidders egging one another on to increase the total.
The winning bid was made by proxy and the £84.5million sale translates to $100million Swiss francs, hinting that the buyer is from overseas.
Muratov was seen recording videos of the bidding screen and those in the room.
Dmitry Muratov (pictured yesterday) has auctioned his Nobel Peace Prize for a staggering £84.5million to raise funds for children displaced by the war in Ukraine
Melted down, the 175 grams of 23-carat gold contained in Muratov's medal would be worth about £8,000
When the final bid came in, at tens of millions more than the previous offer, many in the room expressed shock, including Muratov himself.
'I was hoping that there was going to be an enormous amount of solidarity, but I was not expecting this to be such a huge amount,' Muratov said in an interview after bidding in the nearly three-week auction ended on World Refugee Day.
It was Muratov's idea to auction off his prize, having already announced he was donating the accompanying £400,000 cash award to charity.
Melted down, the 175 grams of 23-carat gold contained in Muratov's medal would be worth about £8,000.
Previously, the most ever paid for a Nobel Prize medal was £3.9million in 2014, when James Watson, whose co-discovery of the structure of DNA earned him a Nobel Prize in 1962, sold his.
Three years later, the family of his co-recipient, Francis Crick, received £1.85million in bidding also run by Heritage Auctions.
Muratov reacts after a person makes a final offer of £84.5million to buy his 2021 Nobel Peace Prize medal
Muratov won the prize in 2021 alongside journalist Maria Ressa of the Philippines, with the committee honouring the pair 'for their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression.'
He was among a group of journalists who founded Novaya Gazeta in 1993 after the fall of the Soviet Union.
This year, it became the only major newspaper left voicing criticism of President Vladimir Putin and his tactics inside and outside the country.
In March, more than a month into Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, Novaya Gazeta suspended operations in Russia, after Moscow adopted legislation providing for tough jail terms against anyone criticising the Kremlin's bloody military campaign.
In April, Muratov was assaulted on a train when a person threw oil-based paint mixed with acetone on him, causing his eyes to burn.
It was Muratov's idea to auction off his prize, having already announced he was donating the accompanying £400,000 cash award to charity
Muratov's medal was available to bidders both in person and online, with all proceeds going to UNICEF's Humanitarian Response for Ukrainian Children Displaced by War.
When asked why he chose UNICEF as the recipient of the funds, Muratov said: 'It's critical to us that that organisation does not belong to any government. It can work above government. There are no borders for it.'
Just minutes after bidding ended, UNICEF told the auction house it had already received the funds.
Since 2000, six of Novaya Gazeta's journalists and collaborators have been killed in connection with their work, including investigative reporter Anna Politkovskaya.
Muratov dedicated his Nobel prize to their memory.
On Monday, he hailed the persistence of journalists as an important check on governments, and one way that war can be prevented.

'So no matter how many times each one of us wants to turn in our notice and quit, we must stay in our jobs,' he told AFP.
Speaking in a video released by Heritage in connection with the sale, the prominent journalist said that winning the Nobel 'gives you an opportunity to be heard.'
'The most important message today is for people to understand that there's a war going on and we need to help people who are suffering the most,' he said.
Online bids had begun June 1 to coincide with the International Children's Day observance.
Many bids came by telephone or online. The winning bid, tendered by telephone, catapulted the bidding from the low millions to astronomical levels.
Muratov had left Russia on Thursday to begin his trip to New York City, where live bidding began Monday evening.
Early Monday, the high bid was only £450,000.
'I can't believe it. I'm awestruck. Personally, I'm flabbergasted. I'm stunned. I don't really know what happened in there,' said Joshua Benesh, the chief strategy officer for Heritage Auctions.
'We knew that there was a tremendous groundswell of interest in the last couple of days by people who were moved by Dimitry's story, by Dimitry's act of generosity, that the global audience was listening tonight,' he said. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10936257/Russian-Nobel-laureate-sells-medal-103-5-mn-benefit-Ukraine-kids.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-06-21T08:48:47Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10936257/Russian-Nobel-laureate-sells-medal-103-5-mn-benefit-Ukraine-kids.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true | 3 |
NBA off-season 2022: Brooklyn Nets negotiations with Kyrie Irving have stalled
According to multiple sources, the possibility of Kyrie Irving not being a member of the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets is not distant.
According to multiple sources, Kyrie Irving may be on his way out of Brooklyn following an “impasse” in negotiations. The Brooklyn Nets, who looked like a future dynasty a year ago with Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving, may lose two of their stars by the time free agency ends. Following Irving’s hesitance to get vaccinated combined with his general injury record, the Nets were said to be hesitant in offering the star guard a long-term maximum contract deal. Three teams have been linked with Irving: The New York Knicks, LA Clippers, and LA Lakers. Signing Irving would be straightforward for the Knicks. For the Lakers and Clippers, both teams would likely require Irving to accept his player option this season before trading for him.
In his piece on Monday night, Shams Charania said, “One of the most anticipated free-agency situations involves Brooklyn’s Kyrie Irving, who has a June 29 deadline on his $36.9 million player option for the NBA 2022-23 season. However, multiple sources tell The Athletic that conversations about Irving’s future have gone stagnant between him and the Nets. Those sources said that an impasse currently exists among the parties that clears the way for the seven-time All-Star to consider the open marketplace.”

Charania added, “A potential Irving departure would be incredibly damaging to the Nets because of their limited ability to replace him, and his salary slot should Irving sign elsewhere as a free agent. A likelier path to any departure would be via sign-and-trade. Brooklyn owes $111 million to six players in 2022-23, not including Irving, so even filling out the roster with minimum salaries would put the Nets over next season’s projected salary cap of $122 million.”
“If Irving bolts, Brooklyn’s strongest path to adding talent would be the full $10.3 million mid-level exceptions. Irving is also eligible for a new deal via exercising his player option and extending his contract from there, which could land him a starting salary of $45.2 million for 2023-24,” concluded Charania. | https://newsable.asianetnews.com/sports/nba-off-season-2022-national-basketball-association-brooklyn-nets-negotiations-with-kyrie-irving-have-stalled-ayh-rdtdfw | 2022-06-21T08:53:03Z | https://newsable.asianetnews.com/sports/nba-off-season-2022-national-basketball-association-brooklyn-nets-negotiations-with-kyrie-irving-have-stalled-ayh-rdtdfw | true | 1 |

It was hard to miss the glossy BMW iX3 and iX4 at the recent Noosa EV Expo in Australia. There were also Hyundai Konas, a Mazda MX 30, and a couple of Ioniq 5s. These were exhibited by the dealerships. In addition, there were a lot of privately owned EVs, including lots of Teslas of course. But, the OEMs were front and centre at the Noosa EV Expo.
What really struck me at the very successful expo was that there will come a day when Majella and I won’t have to drive 250 km in our own time at our own cost because manufacturers and dealers will exhibit enough good quality electric vehicles of their own. Advertising and news commentary will dispel the FUD, so we won’t be answering the same questions over and over about replacing the battery every few years, running out of charge in the middle of the highway, and how many times this week our Tesla has spontaneously burst into flames!
I’ll miss the expos. Most enquirers are innocent victims of disinformation campaigns and it is a pleasure to introduce them to the joys of inexpensive, quiet luxury motoring, all the while making sure their children don’t accidentally walk off with my collection of Hot Wheels Tesla cars.
When I did get a chance to walk around, I was impressed by the breadth of the EV ecosystem that was represented — vehicles ranging from a class 8 prime mover converted from diesel to battery electric, to racing cars designed by uni students, to electric scooters, bikes, and passenger cars. There were charging installers and suppliers galore, ride-sharing services, tow bar fitters, and, of course, the automakers.
Judging by the number of people who came through, the day was quite a success. Australia has tripled the number of EVs on the road in the past 2 years, and part of that is because of an increase in the range of vehicles that are available and the number of dedicated EV owners who are willing to exhibit them.
Will this come to an end when EVs are normal and available from every corner dealer? Quite probably. In the meantime, we will continue to attend these gatherings and spruik the environmental credentials of EVs, dispelling the fog of disinformation which still permeates society.
Looks like there will be plenty of opportunity at Gympie Envirotech on August 6th and at the Australian Electric Vehicle Association’s EV Experience on September 11th. And for those who like professional trade shows, there’s Electric Dreams, July 2nd and 3rd. | https://cleantechnica.com/2022/06/21/automakers-front-centre-at-noosa-ev-expo-but-were-still-needed-to-debunk-disinformation/ | 2022-06-21T08:58:28Z | https://cleantechnica.com/2022/06/21/automakers-front-centre-at-noosa-ev-expo-but-were-still-needed-to-debunk-disinformation/ | false | 1 |
BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgium’s judicial authorities said on Tuesday they have repatriated six women of Belgian citizenship who were held in Syria for their suspected connection with the Islamic State group, along with 16 children.
The federal prosecutor’s office said it’s the second repatriation operation after the one that took place in July 2021, when Belgian authorities took back six mothers and 10 children.
Spokesman Eric Van Duyse told The Associated Press that all the women on the latest flight have been given sentences in Belgium of up to five years in jail.
Belgian authorities say returning children must be done for “humanitarian reasons,” and that repatriation operations are also as a matter of national security since it’s easier to monitor people who have spent time in Syria when they are on home soil.
The plane transporting the women and children back to Belgium landed early Tuesday. Details of the operation were expected to be unveiled during a news conference later in the day.

CHENNAI: With the politically-charged AIADMK general council is round the corner, 23 resolutions are expected to be adopted during the meet.
The resolutions were drafted by a 12-member committee with both EPS and OPS supporters in it.
According to a senior party leader, the number of resolutions were at first 15, then it grew to 18 and finally the number of resolutions made up to 23. However, the highly-debated unitary leadership in political circles wouldn't be making it to the resolutions.
A leader said, Edappadi Palaniswami would cash in on his support of the district secretaries and pass a special resolution on unitary leadership. The resolution's applicability would merited upon the party's byelaws.
"A special general council meeting for the purpose of bringing about a unitary leadership would prevent fissures in the party, EPS however looks to settle the issue once for all on June 23 meeting itself," he added.
The rift began emerging in AIADMK following calls for single leadership by doing away with the dual leadership system in a meeting with district secretaries on June 14. Seen as a precursor to the general council meeting, in the meeting the EPS camp was in favour of a single leadership under EPS as they believe it would facilitate swift decision-making. Outside the venue, OPS and EPS supporters took names of their respective leaders to lead the party.
O Panneerselvam, on the other hand, expressed reservations over the general council meeting on June 23 over "confusion among party office bearers and cadres" in the unitary leadership issue and requested postponement of the meeting in a letter.
Notwithstanding, the general council meeting is expected to be held as planned on June 23. Of the resolutions, common State political issues like stopping construction of Mekedatu dam and Mullaiperiyar too are expected to be adopted.

Anthony Joshua has been told his heart isn't in boxing anymore and his chin has deteriorated ahead of the Brit's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
Joshua second encounter with Usyk was officially announced for August 20, with the fight taking place at the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia. The rematch is being dubbed 'Rage on the Red Sea' as Usyk looks to defend the world titles he won against Joshua last September.
With the rematch now less than two months away, Joshua has been told by domestic rival Joe Joyce it will take a "miracle" for him to avenge his loss against Usyk. Joyce thinks his compatriot is a shell of his former self and has little chance of glory.
“If by some miracle Joshua beats Usyk, he will have to face me or vacate the belt. His chin has gone and I don’t think his heart is fully in the game any more — he’s a businessman more interested in lecturing students," Joyce told The Sun.
Can Anthony Joshua win back his heavyweight titles against Oleksandr Usyk? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!
'The Juggernaut' was set to fight Usyk two years ago before Joshua and Fury's undisputed clash collapsed, which allowed the Ukrainian to step in and dethrone Joshua. Joyce pushed for a fight with Joshua or Usyk after his last win against Carlos Takam.
Joshua has linked up with Robert Garcia for his rematch with Usyk after parting ways with longtime trainer Robert McCracken. 'AJ' was encouraged to find a new trainer after failing to implement his gameplan against Usyk last year.
The 32-year-old said of his upcoming bout: "What a roller coaster journey, fighting for the Heavyweight Championship of the World for the 12th consecutive time. I won the belt, unified the division won another belt, lost the belts, became two-time Unified Heavyweight Champion and now have my date with history set to become three-time Unified Heavyweight Champion of the World.
"What an opportunity. Fighting championship level back to back has had its pros and cons, but I decide every day to get stronger, to learn from my experiences and grow. A happy fighter is a dangerous fighter and I am the happiest and most motivated I have been."
Some fans are convinced Usyk will be able to knockout Joshua in their rematch after packing on a considerable amount of size in a recent training picture. Usyk weighed in at a career-heaviest weight against Joshua last year, stepping on the scale at 221lb.

Allen Career Institute, the premier coaching institute of Kota Rajasthan has announced its foray into the EdTech space. The brand is about to launch a new digital-only arm Allen Digital.
According to industry experts, the move comes after funded startups like Unacademy and Byjus have been eyeing the offline coaching market. Unacademy has launched an offline centre in Kota. Recently many Allen teachers defected to Unacademy Offline Centers.
Allen Digital has years of experience in the business, the company was started in 1988 from a small house. Long before the advent of dotcoms. Allen is looking to build online solutions with its digital-only arm that offers a mix of both worlds.
Students opting for digital mode will be able to customize and modify their learning modules to suit their academic goals, the company said in a statement.
“We realized that there is a need to extend our services to more students who are not in a position to shift to Kota, they can avail of digital services. Additionally, the digital mode will allow us to achieve scale at a faster rate without compromising on the quality of teaching,” said Anand Maheshwari, Managing Director, Allen Digital.
Unacademy launched two of its offline learning centres in Kota and also announced that it has hired more than 30 teachers for its Kota centre which includes many popular teachers like Mohit Bhargava, Parvez Khan, and Insaf Ali, Vijay Kumar Tripathi.
It is well known that startups are market disrupters in a good way, they help consumers as a result of competition between service providers, but the sad reality is that startups are disruptive as long as they have the funds. After the vacation period is over, they come under immense pressure to become profitable to return the money, which drives up the prices of the service. The coaching capital of India could suffer the same fate.
Last week, Allen Career Institute director Brajesh Maheshwari was heavily criticized on social media for a viral video in which he has seen warning teachers against switching to offline coaching centres set up by edtech players.
Last month, Bodhi Tree an investing firm, backed by former Star India chief Uday Shankar, invested $600 million in Allen Career Institute. The company currently has coaching centres in more than 40 cities across the country. | https://indianspectator.com/business/allen-institute-is-set-to-foray-into-edtech-to-compete-with-unacademy-byjus/ | 2022-06-21T09:12:08Z | https://indianspectator.com/business/allen-institute-is-set-to-foray-into-edtech-to-compete-with-unacademy-byjus/ | false | 1 |
The philanthropist Judith Neilson has taken control of the $100m journalism institute she set up at arm’s length four years ago, after independent directors walked out en masse and leaked emails warned the organisation was spiralling “out of control”.
Staff and the media beneficiaries of the Judith Neilson Institute for Journalism and Ideas were left in shock by the departure of the directors amid uncertainty about what the institute’s new mission to promote “social change journalism” would mean.
The executive director of the institute, Mark Ryan, had the support of the independent directors but is unlikely to survive the upheaval.
On Tuesday the Age and the Sydney Morning Herald published a leaked email from Ryan to members of an international advisory council for the organisation, asking them to sign a letter to Neilson expressing concerns about its future.
“Those I spoke to late last week felt it was worth appealing to the patron before events spiralled out of control,” Ryan wrote. “Unfortunately, that ship has well and truly sailed.”
He attached another email from the American journalist Bruce Shapiro, an advisory council member, expressing “grave concern for the future of this crucial project” and alarm at “internal developments”, referring to the resignation of the directors.
Guardian Australia has confirmed the email is genuine. It is understood it was signed by four of the 12 members of the advisory council.
The chief executive officer of Neilson’s family office, Simon Freeman, told Guardian Australia Neilson wanted to move the organisation “in a slightly different direction”.
“Judith recognises the effort of what’s come to date, but has decided that she wants to move in a slightly different direction, which is more focused on social change journalism,” Freeman said.
Sources close to the organisation, who declined to speak on the record, said Neilson was keen to provide “proactive support for journalism that drives social change”, more in line with her support of various charities working in areas of slavery, homelessness, children’s health, affordable housing, climate change and food scarcity.
It is understood Neilson, who is currently overseas, wants to become more personally involved in the activities of the institute and for it to focus more on the consumers of journalism rather than the producers, including non-English speaking communities and those in regional areas.
Freeman sent an email to staff on Tuesday with more detail about the new direction, which he said would be a “more direct and pragmatic focus on such areas as investigative journalism, photojournalism, grassroots media and enhancing access to quality journalism for those with diverse backgrounds”.
Freeman was appointed to the board after the four independent directors quit, leaving only two directors, both of whom represent Neilson’s interests.
The directors who quit were the former New South Wales chief justice James Spigelman, the Australian’s editor-at large, Paul Kelly, Free TV chief Bridget Fair and the former chief executive of the State Library of Victoria Kate Torney.
Neilson also wants to bring the governance of the institute more in line with her other projects, which have a non-independent board.
To 30 June 2021, the institute had distributed $2.5m in grants and had a total expenditure of $7.7m, according to the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission.
Neilson, the billionaire owner of the White Rabbit art gallery in the Sydney suburb of Chippendale, announced in 2018 she would fund a $100m institute for journalism that would be independently run and would work with media organisations and journalism schools.
The institute has supported journalism by providing education, events and grants. Decisions made about what projects were funded were made based on criteria and determined by the institute and the board. Guardian Australia, like other media organistions, has had several projects funded by the institute, including the Pacific Project.
When she created the institute, Neilson said she supported “evidence-based journalism and the pursuit of truth in an increasingly complicated and confusing world”.
“I am delighted to support the establishment of this Institute and I will look to experienced journalists and other experts to manage and guide its work,” she said in 2018.
“I know that traditional forms of journalism are going through massive change and Australian journalism and intellectual life needs a shot in the arm.” | https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/jun/21/judith-neilson-institute-head-says-events-spiralling-out-of-control-as-independent-directors-quit | 2022-06-21T09:16:48Z | https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/jun/21/judith-neilson-institute-head-says-events-spiralling-out-of-control-as-independent-directors-quit | true | 1 |
Five Muslim girl students from the Hampankatta University College in Mangaluru have asked for transfer certificates from the college administration, after being denied permission to attend classes wearing hijab.
Principal Anusuya Rai has confirmed that the five students have applied for transfer certificates to join other colleges. However, they are being asked to submit another letter making certain corrections. The college management will take a call on issuing the certificates once the students submit the letters, she said.
After the announcement of PUC-II results, the admissions to undergraduate courses will begin from this week. Mangaluru University Vice Chancellor PS Yadapadithaya had earlier announced that the university would make special provisions for Muslim students who want to join other colleges in connection with the hijab rule.
What Had Happened?
Earlier in May, after the college decided to ban the wearing of religious clothing on campus as per the Karnataka High Court’s decision, a group of girl students had worn hijabs to college. College authorities had sent the students back home.
In a video that was shared widely on social media, principal Anusuya Rai was seen speaking with the students and telling them not to wear hijabs to college. Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai had reacted to the incident, appealing to students not to kick up the hijab row again and abide by the government and High Court’s orders.
The students in question then approached District Collector Dr Rajendra KV to intervene. However, he said that institutions decide the dress code based on the government’s orders, and so declined to get involved.
The dress code at the Hampankatta University College was decided in May 2022, during a meeting with the College Development Council, Vice Chancellor and Principal of the college, and members of the Mangaluru University Syndicate.
In May, as many as 15 students at the Hampankatta University College were denied permission to attend classes or make use of library facilities while wearing hijabs. The decision, taken by the Mangaluru University, came a day after protests by students belonging to the Akhil Bharatiya Vidya Parishad (ABVP), asking the university to stop women students from wearing the hijab inside the campus.
Earlier in June, six students of the Uppinangady PU College were suspended for wearing hijabs. They were reportedly given a series of warnings to adhere to the dress code. The Karnataka High Court had upheld the state government’s ban on the hijab in educational institutions that have a mandated uniform, and since then, the hijab has been banned in most campuses in the state.

Uyghurs in China Photograph:( AFP )
New US laws prohibiting the entry of goods from China's Xinjiang region have taken effect. Firms must prove that imports from the region are not made with forced labour in order to comply with the requirements. According to US officials, members of the region's minority Uyghur group, which is largely Muslim, have been arrested and forced to work.
As of yesterday, imports from China's Xinjiang region were prohibited in the United States under new laws. Firms will have to certify that goods from the region are not made using forced labour under the laws. Members of the region's minority Uyghur group, who are primarily Muslim, have been arrested and forced to work, according to US authorities. China has often denied allegations that it holds Uyghurs in Xinjiang internment camps.
Several products from the resource-rich region have previously been prohibited in the United States, including cotton and tomatoes. The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), which is set to take effect today, will extend the restrictions to all imports.
According to the US Congress, since April 2017, China has jailed over a million Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in Xinjiang.

It claims that tens of thousands of inmates have worked in Xinjiang and other regions "under the cover of poverty alleviation and industrial aid programmes" for "a fraction of the minimum wage or without any remuneration."
According to the report, China also "interferes with audits and traditional due diligence efforts in Xinjiang to vet commodities and supply chains, including by intimidating possible witnesses and concealing crucial information."
China has denied using forced labour, claiming that the Xinjiang camps are "re-education" centres designed to combat terrorism.

With a strength of approximately 1.4 million active military personnel, India has the world’s second-largest military force and the biggest voluntary army on the planet. Modern Indian defence forces can trace their military ancestry back to several millennia, with the maritime history going back as far as 5,000 years.
In a bid to modernise the armed forces and make them more efficient and also better utilise the defence budget, the government last week introduced a new plan for recruiting soldiers on a four-year basis, called the Agnipath scheme.
There have been widespread protests in several states against the new scheme and criticism has been centred around the short tenure for the new recruits. How does this new scheme vary when compared with the existing recruitment process?
Moneycontrol looks at the whole gamut of recruitment, the number of men and women hired every year, and the salary, perks and pensions they earn.
What are the various commissions in the Indian defence forces? How are personnel hired?
Permanent Commissions (for men)
National Defence Academy (NDA), Khadakwasla, Pune
Indian Military Academy (IMA), Dehradun (non-technical)
Technical Graduate Course (TGC) at IMA, Dehradun
University Entry Scheme (UES) at IMA, Dehradun
Technical Graduate Course (TGC) (Army Education Corps) at IMA, Dehradun
10+2 Technical Entry Scheme (TES)
Short Service Commission (Men and Women), Chennai
Short Service Commission (SSC) (non-technical)
Short Service Commission NCC (SSC) Special/Entry;
Short Service Commission (SSC) Technical
Short Service Commission (Judge Advocate General) (SSC)
Short Service Commission (SSC) Remount Veterinary Corps, New Delhi
Military Nursing Service (Women)
How do candidates apply for permanent commission?
A Permanent Commission (PC) is a career in the Army till retirement. For a PC, a candidate needs to join the National Defence Academy (NDA) or the Indian Military Academy (IMA).
Candidates apply for NDA while in Class X11 or after passing Class X11 -- usually between March and July, and October and December, every year. Advertisements appear in Employment News, Rozagar Samachar and the UPSC website.
Successful candidates undergo a three-year course at NDA before moving for a one-year training at the IMA.
For the IMA, candidates apply online as direct entrants. The advertisements and application route are the same as NDA. If all criteria are met, on selection, candidates will attend the IMA for 18 months.
Candidates can apply for TGC in the final year of their BE/B.Tech degree, or after graduation. This is a non-UPSC entry which does not entail an entrance exam or application via the Indian Army’s recruitment website using the Common Application Form (CAF), advertisements for which come out at the same time as for IMA and NDA.
For UES, unmarried male candidates can apply in their pre-final year of engineering degree. Again, with no entrance tests, applications are received using the CAF.
For Short Service Commission (SSC) categories, the Common Application Tests are the route. Under the SSC, the army allows a 10-year service, with an option of a 4-year extension.
SSC entrants are not entitled to pension. To be in the pension zone, a person has to undergo at least 20 years of service, something that SSC personnel cannot. He or she has the chance to extend their duties to 14 years, but even that falls short.
Interestingly, the salary and allowances for both PC and SSC are the same. There is a significant difference only with regard to pension and medical perks.
However, SSC personnel are entitled to Canteen Store Department (CSD) facilities. Ex-servicemen and their families and ex-defence personnel with minimum 5 years of service are entitled to CSD and canteen facilities, says Kendriya Sainik Board Secretariat, a wing of the MoD.
How many years can you serve in the military?
There are several options. A candidate can join the army and serve as a Commissioned Officer for 10 years. At the end of this period, he has two choices: either a PC or he can opt out.
Those not getting a PC have another alternative -- a four-year extension.
Service Pension is admissible to Junior Commissioned Officers (JCOs), a term used for military personnel higher than Havildars and lower than Lieutenants, and other ranks (ORs) who are non-commissioned officers and soldiers, on completion of minimum mandatory qualifying service of 15 years.
Indian Army ranks can be classified into three categories.
Commissioned Officers who are equivalent to All India Services & Group A Service officers; Junior Commissioned Officers who are equivalent to Group B gazetted officers and ORs.
What is the age of retirement in the army?
For a Lt Gen or Major General, it is 60 years. For a Brigadier or equivalent, 59; Lt Col and below, 58 years.
How many people join the defence services every year?
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) does not provide regular updates on the number of personnel on its roll in a systematic manner. But commentators agree that India's army is also one of the country's top employers -- with millions of people applying annually.
Every year, some 60,000 personnel retire, and the army holds up to 100 fresh ‘hiring rallies’ to replace them. But the hiring has been suspended for the past couple of years. Officials attribute it to the pandemic, but experts say the force was already stretched on resources and struggling to modernise. The Agnipath is an outcome of all these factors.
As regards uniformed personnel, only sporadic details are available from various reports of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence, which enquires about the status of manpower in the armed forces and some other defence establishments.
As of 2019, the strength of uniformed personnel in the three services totals 14,38,717 against a sanctioned strength of 15,15,878, representing a shortage of 5 percent.
Of the total number of uniformed personnel, the army accounts for about 85 percent, distantly followed by the Air Force with 10 percent and the Navy with 5 percent. Of this, the officer cadre is a miniscule 5 percent.
It is likely that this number does not include several non-combatant arms like the Army Medical Corps, Army Dental Corps, Military Nursing Service, and a few others.
What about salaries in the defence sector?
For those seeking a fat pay packet, a corporate job is a better bet. According to one reliable estimate, a typical defence salary is calculated at Rs 8,83,894 per year. They can range from Rs 4,55,133 – Rs 36,86,432 per year. This estimate is based upon 12 government of India defence salary report(s) provided by employees or estimates based upon statistical methods.
When factoring in bonuses and additional compensation, an employee can expect to make an average total pay of ₹8,83,894 per year.
What are the perks the defence services offer?
Crucially, however, it is the perks that matter. It is commonly believed that armed personnel get accommodation free of cost. In fact, quarters are subsidised. Their size depends on the rank and the place of posting. Usually, a jawan gets 1BHK, while a JCO gets 2/3BHK. Officers in the rank of Major/Lt Col and Colonel get 3/4/5 BHK houses. They may not be the epitome of luxury but are extremely spacious. Officers in the rank of Brigadier are usually allotted an independent bungalow.
Living in a cantonment area is a pleasure. It is undoubtedly the cleanest and greenest place in any city. It is well equipped with playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis courts, football fields, gym, wet canteen, walking plaza, cinema theatre and the rest.
What about medical facilities and schooling for children?
Medical facility is free for all armed personnel, either serving or retired, along with their dependents. Facilities such as primary medical healthcare, specialist medical care and super specialist medical care are provided to armed forces personnel, including ex-servicemen.
The Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS) is a flagship Scheme of the MoD, which aims to provide quality healthcare for ex-servicemen, pensioners and their dependents.
Schooling for army children is hardly a bother as Army Public Schools and Kendriya Vidyalayas are situated in every city. Highly subsidised school bus facility is provided to the personnel's children. The fee structure is comparatively low while the standard of education is excellent, best reflected in all-India examination results.
What is the famed army canteen?
All groceries are available to armed personnel at subsidised rates, either serving or retired. To avail this facility, smart cards are issued to the beneficiaries and their dependents. High quality liquor is made available to defence personnel at much lower costs.
At CSD, products, including liquor, can be purchased at subsidised rates by serving and retired military personnel.
In addition, there is ration for serving personnel, which includes essential items like milk, egg, pulses, and butter, among others. Incidentally, this ration was restored in peace-time areas in 2019 after the government had withdrawn the facility in 2017, post implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission.
What about professional enhancement?
Defence forces offer very transparent avenues for professional enhancement. There are deputations in various scientific institutions in the country, including DRDO, DGQA, LRDE, BEL, ITI and a host of others. In addition, there are foreign assignments in the UN, and it is virtually mandatory now to have defence attaches in Indian embassies/missions the world over.
How serious is the subject of defence pensions?
Defence pension – a ticklish issue, if there ever was one – lies at the heart of the Agnipath plan. The ever-burgeoning pension bill has ballooned, thanks to the One-Rank-One-Pension (OROP) scheme, which came into effect on July 1, 2014.
It is a perpetually growing liability: in 2015-16, before the OROP was introduced, defence pension expenditure stood at Rs 54,000 crore. By FY2020-21, it had more than doubled to Rs 1,33,825 crore.
According to an Institute of Defence Studies and Analysis (IDSA) assessment, “the entire increase in the pension’s share (from 2011-12 to 2020-21) has come at the cost of the capital procurement, which together with stores (or the CSD), has dwindled by 11 percentage points from 36 percent in 2011-12 to 25 percent in 2020-21. In other words, the fast rise in pension expenditure has a significant crowding-out effect on stores and modernisation, two major components that determine a nation’s war-fighting ability.”
Nonetheless, it does suggest that superannuated defence personnel have been beneficiaries of sound pension – at least for now. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/india/explained-recruitment-salaries-perks-and-pensions-in-the-indian-armed-forces-8715861.html/amp | 2022-06-21T09:21:52Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/india/explained-recruitment-salaries-perks-and-pensions-in-the-indian-armed-forces-8715861.html/amp | true | 2 |

The concepts include souped-up Mars helicopters and inexpensive orbiters and landers.
While officials at NASA and the European Space Agency, as well as planners in China, plot out ultra-expensive and complicated missions to return samples from Mars, there are an increasing number of researchers blueprinting low-cost and novel ways to further explore the Red Planet.
Be it via souped-up helicopters or inexpensive landers and orbiters, they say it’s time to script new ways to gather more data from a variety of places on that remote world.
How to use relatively low-priced craft for a next round of investigation is backed by Bethany Ehlmann, a planetary scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
Related: A brief history of Mars missions
“Mars, like Earth, is diverse. Different locales capture different environmental snapshots,” Ehlmann told Space.com. There’s plenty of exploration to do, she added, citing the possibility of visiting amazing and exotic sites that spacecraft have imaged from orbit, such as the Valles Marineris canyon system and the Martian polar caps.
“A system as complicated as Mars requires breadth as well as depth,” Ehlmann said, “and that means finding new ways to explore at multiple locations by lowering the price per spacecraft mission through technology or new programmatic paradigms and collaborations. Imagine half a dozen mobile Mars explorers, operated by universities around the country … That would get students energized about careers in science and engineering!”
After decades of Mars exploration, many of the important questions that remain can be answered only with boots on the ground, be those “boots” robotic or human, Ehlmann said.
“NASA has always been a very risk-averse agency. This is completely understandable, since taxpayer dollars are being spent,” said Robert Lillis, Associate Director for Planetary Science and Astrobiology within the Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley.
Lillis points to NASA’s Small Innovative Missions for Planetary Exploration (SIMPLEx) program as a “bold effort” to facilitate first-rate planetary science at a fraction of the cost of a typical Discovery mission. (NASA’s Discovery program supports ambitious but relatively low-cost exploration efforts. The current cost cap for a Discovery mission is about $500 million.)
SIMPLEx also serves as a pathfinder to investigate the trade-off between cost and risk, Lillis said.
For example, the Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (EscaPADE) mission is a SIMPLEx undertaking, one that promises a very good bang for the buck in terms of science per dollar, said Lillis, who’s EscaPADE’s principal investigator. The total cost of this Mars mission, which is projected to arrive in orbit around the Red Planet in 2026, is pegged at under $80 million.
The twin EscaPADE probes will provide a unique “stereo” perspective to Mars’ highly complex upper atmosphere system, Lillis said. “Our two spacecraft — Blue and Gold — will provide us with two pairs of eyes, enabling us to, for the first time, understand the real-time response of Mars’ patterns of atmospheric loss to the electromagnetic gusts and gales of the solar wind that buffet Mars,” he said.
Taking “NewSpace” approaches to spacecraft development will allow constellations of small satellites to explore and monitor the Martian atmosphere with unprecedented fidelity and coverage, Lillis said. “We’ll be able to see all parts of the planet at all times of day, from the surface to the upper atmosphere.”
Lillis added that this kind of “situational awareness” will be crucial to protect future human explorers, in two primary ways. First, better characterization of near-surface air pressure and wind allows for safer entry, descent and landing. Second, weather monitoring will enable accurate weather forecasting through data assimilation.
“When we talk about weather forecasting on Mars being important for the safety of explorers, we’re talking about dust storms, regional or global,” Lillis said. “Dust storms reduce solar power generation and visibility.”

A new technology to land on Mars cheaply and safely is the Small High Impact Energy Landing Device (SHIELD) concept, now under study at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California.
“SHIELD is basically both a lander and a shock absorber in one,” said Louis Giersch, the primary investigator for SHIELD.
“It won’t be able to put a spacecraft like the Perseverance rover on the surface, but it could allow scientists to study more of the Martian surface while riding along with larger NASA missions,” Giersch added. “We’re still evaluating what kinds of science instruments make sense, but weather sensors, cameras and mass spectrometers are all on the drawing board.”
SHIELD’s goal is to reduce Mars lander costs by an order of magnitude, making doable a broad suite of potential missions. For example, the tech could potentially allow NASA to put down dozens of individual robots over a relatively short timespan, dotting the distant planet with landers.
Giersch said that SHIELD will place more limitations on science payloads relative to more conventional Mars landers. The science payloads will need to be even more compact and rugged, he said, but with the anticipated benefit of more frequent access to the Martian surface as a result of reduced mission cost.

“The opportunity for low-cost frequent access to Mars is here,” added JPL’s Nathan Barba, systems engineer for SHIELD. That door was opened when the Mars Cube One (MarCO) A and B cubesats, nicknamed EVE and WALL-E, completed a successful flyby of Mars in November 2018. The duo, which cost just $18.5 million for JPL to build and operate, hitched a ride with NASA’s InSight Mars lander.
“SHIELD could be delivered as a single lander or many in a single launch. A low-cost lander like SHIELD could enable first-time measurements or pathfinder exploration like ground-truthing information that is critical for larger, more-expensive missions,” Barba said.
Increased access to space is exciting, Barba continued, “because it means more opportunities for science at Mars. If a new class of lower-cost interplanetary missions were to come to fruition, it would foster an even more diverse set of investigations and provide an opportunity for many new early-career scientists and engineers.”
Smaller, lower-cost spacecraft missions could provide decadal-class science in parallel to the Mars sample return campaign, Barba said. The paradigm shift in capability and cost can be attributed to many factors, from an order-of-magnitude reduction in launch cost, enabled by rideshare and emerging small launch vehicles, to the fabrication of science instruments capable of high-precision and/or fundamentally novel measurements, he said.
Yet another future Mars investigation idea has already been bolstered by the multiple flights of NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter. Ingenuity, a technology demonstrator, has clearly showcased its aerial “Wright stuff” — but what comes next?
“Flights of Ingenuity have been beyond what we could have imagined,” said Shannah Withrow-Maser, Mars Science Helicopter Vehicle Systems Lead at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley. “Each flight is teaching us more and more and opening doors for future mission concepts,” she told Space.com.
One idea that’s percolating is an advanced Mars helicopter, a hexacopter device that can haul larger payloads and travel greater distances than the currently flying Ingenuity. Withrow-Maser said this Mars Science Helicopter approach is taking shape courtesy of the teachable moments supplied by Ingenuity data, which is downloaded and evaluated after each flight.
“There’s a little bit of holding your breath every time Ingenuity flies,” Withrow-Maser said. “We’re taking it one flight at a time. It far exceeds the boundaries of what was designed for and tested here on Earth.”
Defining a future rotorcraft for Mars is just its own beast, Withrow-Maser said. “We’re able to do some really cool things with rotorcraft,” she said, “taking off from anywhere and also hover[ing] over objects of interest.”
Now being appraised is a future mid-air deployment of a hexacopter, which would be released part way through the entry, descent and landing process. Potentially, a variety of Mars features that are tough or impossible for rovers to explore could be surveyed — for example, polar caps, vertical cliffs and mud volcanoes.
The craft could also zip over the intriguing Martian dark streaks known as recurring slope lineae, which might be signs of liquid water activity. A hexacopter could also potentially help map out vertical profiles of the atmosphere or even dive into lava tube openings.
“The community is just starting to get an idea of what might be done using aero-exploration,” Withrow-Maser said. “A rotorcraft allows us to move much further and faster. New vehicle platforms can be a catalyst for all types of science. I think we’re in a good position to be able to take advantage of any opportunities that would come our way.”

The Grand Ol’ Americana Show is coming to the Leo J. Welder Center for the Performing Arts on Sunday.
The show promises a “true blue, all American, always Texan musical variety show.” The show is a major fundraiser to benefit the Children’s Discovery Museum of the Golden Crescent in Victoria.
Elizabeth Tise, executive director of the museum, said the museum partnered with the Grand Ol’ Christmas Show last year, and “it was such a great event.” The producer of the Grand Ol’ Americana Show, Will Hearn, was seeking a nonprofit partner and was referred to the museum by one of the museum’s long-time donors, Tise said, adding, “This partnership with the Grand Ol' Americana Show allows us to help bring more arts awareness to the Crossroads ... plus it's a fun show that is perfect for the entire family.”
The show is described as a tribute “to the original, traditional, family-truckster-holiday-roading, red-blooded, two fisted, route 66-ing, All-American summer.” The show features culture, comedy and music, including the band, Blue Water Highway. The performance is set as if it’s inside a radio show “broadcasting live from the 1776 AM L-B-R-T (Liberty) Radio Theater.”
The Liberty Radio Orchestra & Gospel Singers will perform along with the Blue Water Highway band.
“It’s sure to be the most fun you’ll have in a long time, especially if you like music and all things Americana,” Tise said.
“Proceeds from this show will help benefit the programs at the museum and allow us to continue bringing dynamic educational experiences to the children and families in the Crossroads area,” Tise said.
Tickets for the show are $35, reserved general seating.
