Abstract
Prerequisite. In the conditions of a full-scale invasion, the issue of radiation safety and anti-radiation protection in the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) occupies a special place, since the aggressor country violated global geopolitical international decisions, occupied civilian nuclear facilities, in the process of their liberation servicemen mayhave to act in conditions of increased radiation risk, the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons also is not excluded. OBJECTIVE: to investigate the state of the current national regulatory framework for ensuring radiation safety and anti-radiation protection of military personnel during the period of martial law. METHODS: bibliographic, analytical, historical, systematic approach. RESULTS: The main normative document on the organization of radiation safety and anti-radiation protection of both personnel and the population in Ukraine, as well as military personnel, currently in everyday conditions and in case of radiation accidents since 1998 and until now, are the State Hygienic Standards "Radiation Safety Standards of Ukraine (NRBU-97)". But neither in this document, nor in the transition to NRBU-2021-P, the issue of exposure to such a category as military personnel during the performance of combat (special) tasks is considered. The system of monitoring the radiation situation in Ukraine, documents on the organization of medical support for military personnel, including the Guidelines on the Medical Support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for a Special Period (2019)and the Guidelines on the Organization of Radiation Safety in the Armed Forces of Ukraine (2020), were analyzed.modules of radiation safety principles in the Armed Forces of Ukraine were proposed. CONCLUSION: The unsolved problem of normalization of the radiation factor in the case of man-made and socio-political emergencies can create significant problems in the organization of anti-radiation protection of troops and the population in the case of the use of nuclear weapons or radiation accidents in a special period and requires anurgent solution. It is obvious that there is a need to develop regulatory documents regarding the response and planning of continuous activities to respond to potential nuclear and radiation threats during martial law, including relationships at all levels of the management vertical and methods of communication in the event of a threat.

Abstract
AIM: The primary aim of this cross-sectional study was to provide descriptive data about the lifetime prevalence of trauma exposure with a particular focus on sexual violence and natural disasters and to assess the prevalence of symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the Icelandic population. In addition, the aim was to investigate whether PTSD symptoms, trauma types and prevalence differed by gender and geographical location. METHOD: A representative sample of the population between the ages of 18 and 80 years was randomly selected from the Icelandic National Registrar. The study included a total of 1766 participants consisting of 930 (52.7%) women and 836 (47.3%) men, with an overall mean age of 49.9 years (standard deviation 16.1). Participants were contacted by phone and asked questions from the Lifetime Events Checklist (LEC-5) to assess lifetime exposure to traumatic events. Individuals who had experienced traumatic events completed the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) to assess PTSD symptoms. RESULTS: Exposure to trauma is common among the Icelandic population, with 84.3% of the participants experiencing at least one kind of trauma. Of those exposed to trauma, 10.5% fulfilled criteria indicating a higher risk of PTSD. The prevalence of sexual violence and other unwanted sexual experiences was relatively high (16.2% and 24.4%, respectively) compared with other national studies. Women were almost four times more likely than men to have been exposed to sexual violence (24.9% vs 6.4%), and were more likely to have been exposed to other unwanted sexual experience (35.1% vs 12.4%, respectively). Exposure to natural disasters is frequent but with great geographical variation. CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the high prevalence of trauma in Iceland, revealing significant gender disparities in sexual violence and geographical variations in natural disaster exposure.

Star Ole Miss QB Jaxon Dart makes decision ahead of 2024 season
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Ole Miss football’s star quarterback Jaxon Dart has made his decision ahead of the 2024 season on whether he will stay another year in Oxford or declare for the 2024 NFL Draft.
Dart led the Rebels to its first-ever 11-win season in program history after No. 11 Ole Miss beat No. 10 Penn State 38-25 in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.
After arguably the best game of his collegiate career against the Nittany Lions - who statistically had the number one-ranked defense in the country - and despite the NFL Draft looming, Dart announced that he will return to Ole Miss next year for his final season.
Dart threw for 379 yards, tallied four total touchdowns (three passing and one rushing), and had zero turnovers in the Peach Bowl.
The Rebels will return key players such as wide receivers Tre Harris and Jordan Watkins, defensive linemen JJ Pegues and Jared Ivy, and tight end Caden Pieskorn - who was named the offensive player of the game in the Peach Bowl - along with Dart.
Ole Miss will bring in the number one-ranked transfer portal class and the number thirteen-ranked overall class as things stand for the 2024 season.

Abstract
Black men are disproportionately affected by firearm assaults in the United States, and these disparities are rooted in structural and social inequities. The objective of this scoping review of research was to identify risk and protective factors for firearm assault injuries among Black men at all levels of the social-ecological framework. The search was conducted in 2021. The initial search generated 1,122 articles. Studies were eligible if they (a) included an analysis of modifiable risk or protective factors for firearm assaults among Black men; (b) reported an estimate of correlation, association, or effect between risk or protective factors and firearm assault injuries, firearm violence, and/or firearm homicides; and (c) were published peer-reviewed articles. In all, 19 articles were identified for review. Risk factors identified at each ecological level include the following: (1) Individual: firearm possession/weapon use and criminal legal system interaction; (2) Relationships: gang membership and exposure to other people who have experienced a firearm assault; (3) Community: indicators for socioeconomic status and racial residential segregation; and (4) Societal: historical racist policy. Individual-level substance use had mixed results. Few (26%) studies examined protective factors at any ecological level, but community-level factors like neighborhood tree cover were identified. Future research needs to examine risk and protective factors at the societal level and multiple ecological levels simultaneously leading to more effective multi-level interventions that will guide policy formation. A greater diversity of study designs, research methods, and theoretical frameworks is needed to better understand factors associated with firearm assault among Black men.

Why it’s important to check and update your beneficiaries
A 2023 Caring.com survey found that 2 out of 3 Americans do not have any type of will or after death financial plans
(InvestigateTV) — Designating beneficiaries is a very important step for this who wish to begin estate planning, according to financial planning company Agili.
Beneficiary designations are when a spouse, child or even a charity receive your assets when you pass away.
Michael Joyce with Agili suggested people do this once a year, pointing out December is a good month to do it since it is just before the new year.
Beneficiaries are often required for investment accounts like IRAs, qualified plans through work or life insurance policies.
The designation allows beneficiaries to avoid probate and send the asset directly to the individual. It’s easy to overlook this, it even happened to Joyce.
“A couple of years ago, when my youngest son was about 12 or 13 and I was reviewing the beneficiary designations on one of my Roth IRAs,” Joyce said. “And I realized that he was not listed as a contingent beneficiary.”
Joyce said people can name a percentage of their assets to multiple designees as long as it adds up to 100 percent.
A full name and date of birth is often needed, and some places require a social security number.
Other events that should trigger a look at beneficiaries include marriage, divorce, having a child or the death of a loved one.

Abstract
There is a growing body of evidence that adolescents, and other children, are responsible for a significant proportion of sexual abuse against children. However, there are substantial differences in how this phenomenon is defined and conceptualized between and within sectors. This scoping review explored the current definitions of harmful sexual behaviors (HSB), and other similar terms, used across a range of stakeholder groups. In all, 141 papers were reviewed from both empirical and gray literature sources, including key policy and practice documents. Included papers needed to list a clear definition for the behavior of interest. There was disagreement and inconsistency across the included papers in their conceptualization of harmful, abusive, or problematic sexual behavior (PSB) in children and adolescents. Although the term HSB has been adopted as an umbrella term or continuum in many policy, practice, and research settings, there is a large variance in behaviors, treatment needs, etiology, and harms present across different types of sexual behavior. Relying solely on one term to describe a wide range of sexual behaviors in children and young people may limit the understanding of this issue and imply similarities between groups that are not present. We suggest that clearly defined subsets of HSB, such as sexual abuse, technology-assisted HSB, and PSB, may give more context to the behavior of concern and may be helpful in informing further research, prevention, and best practice approaches.

Abstract
The main goal of the present study was to examine psychological help-seeking intention among undergraduate students. A total of three hundred students were randomly selected from Rajshahi University of Bangladesh to measure the help-seeking intention by administering a Bangla-translated (Barman & Sutradhar, 2022) General Help-Seeking Questionnaire (Wilson et al., 2005). The data were analyzed by using t-test, one-way ANOVA, and post-hoc tukey test. The results revealed that there was no significant difference in help-seeking intention in respect of sex. The results also stated that rural areas students were significantly (t = 8.085, p < 0.01) less intended to seek help than urban areas students. Additionally, higher socioeconomic class students were significantly (F =168.282, p < 0.01) more intended to seek help than middle and lower socioeconomic class students.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Dollar General Corporation (NYSE: DG) between May 28, 2020 and August 30, 2023, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the January 26, 2024 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Dollar General common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Dollar General class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=20693 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 26, 2024. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Dollar General stores were chronically understaffed and suffering from logistical and inventory management problems which left stores with tens of millions of dollars' worth of outdated and unwanted inventory, mispriced goods, and lost and damaged items; (2) large backlogs of unsellable merchandise had built up at Dollar General's stores, which inventory had not been timely written down due to understaffing and Dollar General's failure to manage its inventory; (3) the allotment of employee hours per store per week imposed by Dollar General management placed employees in virtually impossible situations where assigned tasks, including those necessary to effective store operations, could not be completed within the allotted time; (4) Dollar General was systematically overcharging customers for items upon checkout above the listed price in violation of state laws, including state law violations identified by state regulators in Arizona, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio; (5) Dollar General's reported revenue and earnings during the Class Period were artificially inflated by defendants' over-pricing scheme; (6) Dollar General's failure to manage store inventories and accurately price items upon checkout risked the loss of customers, lower sales, adverse regulatory actions, and reputational fallout; (7) Dollar General was not on track to achieve the 4Q22 guidance provided to investors of 6% to 7% same-store sales growth or quarterly diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $3.15 to $3.30, and was running more than one hundred million dollars behind Dollar General's annual net sales guidance of 11% growth; and (8) as a result, defendants' statements about Dollar General's business metrics, operations, and financial prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable factual basis when made. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Dollar General class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=20693 mailto:or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Abstract
Aim: To study the aggression among working married and unmarried women. Objectives: (1) To identify the level of aggression among working and non-working women. (2) To identify the level of aggression among married and unmarried women. (3) To identify the level of aggression among working and non-working married and unmarried women. Method: The study was conducted among 60 women. The group was further divided into two sub-groups of 30 working (15 married, 15 unmarried) and 30 non-working (15 married, 15 unmarried) women. Aggression scale developed by Dr. G. P. Mathur and Dr. Raj Kumari Bhatnagar was used to analyse the data with the help of "ANOVA". Result: F value of working non-working women was 7.94, F value of married and unmarried women was 1.07, F value of working non-working married and unmarried women was 3.10. Mean difference of working and non-working women was 165.1 and 174.7 respectively. Thus, Ho1 was rejected and Ho2 and Ho3 was accepted. Conclusion: Non-Working women are comparatively more aggressive than the working women. There is no difference between married and unmarried women on aggression. Also, there is no difference between working and non-working married and unmarried women.

Abstract
Modern vehicles have evolved into intelligent and autonomous transportation systems, yet such computer-driven developments also create opportunities for unforeseen cyber-security attacks on self-driving cars. These threats may pose critical risks to human lives but there is a considerable lack of understanding in designing vehicle systems to support driver response during rare and hazardous security events. We conducted an interview with autonomous vehicle drivers to understand their perception of automotive threats and design needs for effective response during security events. RESULTS show that drivers expect information relating to malfunction detection, trouble-shooting instructions, and log data from the vehicle. Moreover, drivers were more likely to act based on instincts the more the driver perceives the threat to be urgent, rather than process the situation during the initial stages of an attack. We thus propose a 'Driver Response Phase' and corresponding design implications for future vehicles that support user response to security risks.

Abstract
Disrobing of a casualty on the battlefield is a key step in treatment to ensure injuries have been properly treated. Hesitancy to fully disrobe female patients may result in poorer treatment provided to female casualties. The goal of this study was to determine whether patient gender predicted the occurrence of complete or partial chest exposure and whether the type of undressing method predicted complete or partial exposure. Second, we sought to determine whether simulator gender, undressing method, and chest exposure predicted differences in the treatment of a gunshot wound (GSW) to the chest. Thirty-six soldiers treated GSW on male and female patient simulators. Complete chest exposures were more likely with male patients or when shears were used. For male patients, there were fewer errors, chest was exposed completely, and tearing methods were used. RESULTS indicate opportunities to improve wound discovery and decrease GSW treatment errors, particularly for female patients.

A 10-year-old boy in California is now facing murder charges after he took a gun from his father's car and used it to shoot and kill another 10-year-old boy.
According to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office, officers responding to a shooting call around 4:30 p.m. in the Foothill Farms community on Saturday found the victim unresponsive and bleeding from his head and neck in a parking lot.
Deputies quickly began performing CPR until Sacramento Metro Fire Department arrived, but the 10-year-old victim was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.
The sheriff's office said that after detectives arrived at the scene and interviewed witnesses, they detained 53-year-old Arkete Davis, who had asked his son to get cigarettes from his car. His son then found a gun in the car, bragged about it being his father's, then shot the victim once and ran into a nearby apartment.
Detectives found the gun near a trash can, suggesting Davis tried to get rid of it. They confirmed Davis couldn't legally have a gun, and the recovered firearm had been reported stolen in 2017.
Authorities took the unidentified child, who shot the victim, to the Sacramento County Youth Detention Facility and charged him with murder. Meanwhile, Davis was arrested and taken to the Sacramento County Main Jail. He was charged with several felony firearm offenses, along with child endangerment and accessory after the fact.
Davis is being held on $500,000 bail, with a court appearance set for Jan. 3.

SALT LAKE CITY — A series of new laws are going into effect in Utah today.
When someone launches a dating app or website, they will get a pop up warning that the site doesn't do background checks and that people should exercise caution. It will also offer links to resources for people who may be victims of sexual assault or violence.
The warnings came about as a result of a law passed by House Minority Leader Angela Romero, D-Salt Lake City.
"This is just a start to a larger problem when we’re talking about sexual assault and domestic violence," she told FOX 13 News on Monday.
Rep. Romero said she intends to introduce a bill in the upcoming 2024 Utah State Legislature on "affirmative consent." It would make it a felony if consent is not given in sexual situations. She said it ensures people are on the same page and that "yes means yes."
"The bar is so high when it comes to sexual assault and rape that it would be a second-degree felony. Hopefully it would give prosecutors another tool to use — not saying all prosecutors will use it — to criminally prosecute somebody who’s out there sexually assaulting women," Rep. Romero said. "As we know, sexual assaults are not reported at the rate they should be because people feel like they won’t be believed versus false accusations."
Rep. Romero has previously run the bill, but it has yet to get a hearing.
Other new laws going into effect on New Year's Day include:
- Electric vehicles will have to pay a tax at some charging stations. Right now, vehicles that run on fossil fuels pay a gas tax earmarked for road repairs. The issue is that EVs don't (even though they use the same roads), so the legislature approved the 12.5% tax on charging stations to make things more equitable.
- Some vintage collector cars may be exempt from motor vehicle emissions inspections, especially if they are not driven a lot.
- The child tax credit gets expanded somewhat, helping Utah families in need. Governor Spencer Cox has also proposed a further expansion in his budget to the Utah legislature.
The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is also expanding with signups starting on Jan. 1. The program provides medical and dental coverage to some of the state's neediest children, including immigrants who have been living in the state for at least 180 days.
"We have one of the highest rates of uninsured children per capita in the country," said Moe Hickey, the executive director of the advocacy group Voices for Utah Children. "This is a big step forward to addressing that."
Advocates have been campaigning to let families know if they qualify for CHIP, hoping to reach as many marginalized communities as possible. The bill to expand CHIP passed with bipartisan support in the 2023 Utah State Legislature, with supporters saying it will save money in the long run with more preventative care keeping desperate families out of emergency rooms.
"The root cause of a lot of these problems, it’s because care wasn’t given at an early age especially preventative care," Hickey said. "One thing I do want to point out the dental side is so important especially for young children. A vast majority of our absences from schools are dental related."
To find out if you qualify for CHIP, visit the Utah Department of Health & Human Services' website here.

The Internal Revenue Service plans to implement a free online filing service for American taxpayers this tax season for residents of 13 states, including California, Texas and New York.
The IRS has offered free electronic filing for lower-income tax filers for years, but the scope of the program was limited. The IRS said it has not offered more extensive online filing services due to the cost of maintaining such a program.
A 2023 report found that 5 million users would cost the IRS $64 million, while 25 million users would come with $249 million in costs. The costs, however, do not account for potential savings from having filers convert from paper forms.
The same report,however, found that 72% had an interest in the program.
Kelly Erb, tax counsel for White & Williams, noted that even for taxpayers in states with the new program, not everyone is eligible.
"If you own a business, if you have a side hustle, it's not for you," she said. "It's going to be W-2 taxpayers that don't itemize. So, really simple, the IRS says they want to kind of start out slow and roll the pilot program out."

Erb noted that the new program will be similar to online programs like TurboTax.
"It's very similar to what you're going to be used to," she said. It's going to be in an interview-like format. So you're going to log on, there's no software, you do it directly through the IRS … They're going to ask you questions just like you would do in TurboTax or one of those other programs."
Erb said the IRS will have customer service representatives dedicated to servicing this website.
Arizona, California, Massachusetts and New York will integrate their state taxes into the new pilot program. Residents in Alaska, Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming can also utilize the new program, but those states were not in a position to integrate their state taxes.
"The Direct File pilot is undergoing continuous testing with taxpayers to identify and resolve issues to ensure it's user-friendly and easy to understand," said IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel. "We continue to finalize the pilot details and anticipate more changes before we launch for the 2024 tax season. Direct File, if pursued further after the pilot, would be another option eligible taxpayers have to help them prepare their tax returns in addition to existing options such as the use of a tax professional, tax software, Free File or another option."
The launch of the pilot program came at the direction of Congress, which passed the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022.

As the world partied into the new year, hospitals across the U.S. celebrated by welcoming the first babies of 2024.
In Boston, three adorable baby girls made their debut at the stroke of midnight on Jan. 1 — two at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and one at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Pictured above are the cuties from Beth Israel — Emily Margaret, tipping the scales at 7 pounds, 15 ounces, and Ophelia, a petite bundle at 6 pounds, 8 ounces. The third baby, Selena, came into the world at Brigham and Women's Hospital, weighing in at 6 pounds and 5 ounces.
The baby girls are all said to be “doing great and resting comfortably,” according to Boston25News.
In the Garden State of New Jersey, Belen Aguirre Cardona came into the world precisely at 12:01 a.m., weighing in at 5 pounds and 11 ounces. According to WABC, she wore a sparkly dress to celebrate the new year.
In North Carolina, three little bundles of joy marked the beginning of the new year by entering the world for the first time. Just past midnight, at 12:26 a.m., the lovely Tully made her debut at WakeMed Cary Hospital, while at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, a delightful pair of twins brought joy to a happy couple.
Adonis Weathers and Adrian Weathers arrived at 1:39 a.m. and 1:49 a.m., respectively. Adonis, at 6 pounds, 2 ounces, measured 18 3/4 inches, while Adrian, also at 6 pounds, 2 ounces, stretched to 20 3/4 inches.
The medical center reported that the twins and their mother were each presented with gifts to mark them as the first babies born in the state in the new year.
In Georgia, at precisely 2:04 a.m., Doctors Hospital of Augusta welcomed a baby boy named Isis Aleya Roper, weighing 7 pounds and 1 ounce, and measuring 20 1/2 inches.
In the Lone Star State, a bouncing baby boy made his debut at the UMC Health System at 2:23 a.m. Casey weighed in at 7 pounds and 10 ounces.
In Indianapolis, the tiniest of the bunch, Florence June Miller, claimed the title of the first baby born in 2024 at Franciscan Health Indianapolis. She tipped the scales at 5 pounds and 7 ounces. The hospital reported that by the end of 2023, over 2,100 babies had come into the world at Franciscan Health Indianapolis.
And last but definitely not least, in Michigan, Alexia Anara Rodriguez-Gonzalez graced Holland Hospital with her arrival at 2:56 a.m. Her determination to be a New Year's baby led her to come into the world two weeks earlier than expected. She weighed in at 7 pounds and 13 ounces, measuring 19 inches in length.
May these families have a healthy and prosperous new year!

More than 675,000 cans of a popular baby formula have been recalled due to their potential contamination with dangerous bacteria, federal health officials said Sunday.
The affected formula comes from Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition, which voluntarily chose to recall some of its Enfamil products.
Specifically, the recall applies to select U.S. batches of Nutramigen Powder, a specialty infant formula designed for babies with a cow's milk allergy, produced in June and distributed throughout the summer.
The 12.6 and 19.8-ounce cans in question were potentially in contact with Cronobacter sakazakii bacteria, according to the FDA.
Cronobacter bacteria is found naturally in the environment, but it can also live in dry foods like powdered baby formula. And although illnesses from the bacteria are rare, the average two to four cases the CDC sees in infants each year can be deadly.
Once infected, the bacteria can spread through the blood to other parts of the body and cause life-threatening infections or meningitis. These infections can begin to show with symptoms like poor feeding, irritability, jaundice, temperature changes, grunting breaths and abnormal movements.
According to the FDA, the Nutramigen products in the recall tested negative for the bacteria after extensive testing, but the Israeli Ministry of Health said a formula exported from a Michigan facility to the country tested positive for Cronobacter during routine sampling at the border.
Subsequent testing of the Reckitt/Mead Johnson facility didn't yield any other positive results, but the company agreed to initiate the recall after receiving positive whole genome sequencing results from Israel.
No illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall as of its posting, and the FDA says it's likely most of the affected products distributed in the U.S. have already been consumed.
Still, the federal agency recommends any Nutramigen customers check the bottom of their cans to identify whether their batch number is included in the recall. If so, they should stop using the product and throw it away immediately, then contact Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition for a refund.
The recalled batch codes are ZL3FHG, ZL3FMH, ZL3FPE, ZL3FQD, ZL3FXJ — all in 12.6-ounce cans — and ZL3FRW in 19.8-ounce cans. These affected products have a "Use By" date of Jan. 1, 2025 and UPC codes of 300871239418 or 300871239456.

Taylor Swift is starting 2024 the same way she finished off 2023. Her album "1989 (Taylor's Version)" is No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for the fifth consecutive week.
Her albums have now accounted for 68 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Swift now holds the record for solo artist with the most weeks at No. 1. The record was previously held by Elvis Presley.
He had 10 albums reach No. 1 from 1956-2022, and Swift has had 13 albums reach that top spot.
Fearless was Swift's first album to reach No. 1. It debuted in 2008 and remained at No. 1 for 11 weeks.
Swift now only trails the Beatles, who had 132 weeks at No. 1.
As a fixture in media for more than a decade, Swift may have had her best year yet in 2023. Her Eras international tour became the highest-grossing tour of all time, according to Pollstar. It passed the $1 billion mark just nine months after kicking off in the U.S., Mexico and South America in March.
The tour was turned into a film, which AMC said surpassed $250 million in ticket sales.
To cap off 2023, Swift was named Time's Person of the Year. She was also enjoying a whirlwind romance with NFL star Travis Kelce.

ENTER DATELINE — 2024 is starting off with sunny skies and warm temperatures sitting in the upper 60s and lower 70s this afternoon. A cold front moving through the region will bring in cooler air tonight, dipping lows into the mid 30s while skies remain clear. This will bring cooler weather for the day on Tuesday, with highs only reaching the mid to upper 50s with sunny skies continuing.
The next chance at rain will fall on Wednesday, as a low pressure system passes to the south. This will bring mostly cloudy skies and scattered showers into our region, especially during the evening hours. While not a washout, hit or miss showers will be spread across the area throughout the evening. Skies dry out on Thursday and Friday with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s, while overnight lows dip into the mid 30s.
By this weekend, another low pressure system approaches the region bringing some more widespread showers Saturday evening. This will also help bring in more mild air from the south, allowing highs to rise into the mid 60s. As the low pulls away on Sunday, highs fall into the upper 50s and low 60s with overnight lows in the 40s.

More than 675,000 cans of a popular baby formula have been recalled due to their potential contamination with dangerous bacteria, federal health officials said Sunday.
The affected formula comes from Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition, which voluntarily chose to recall some of its Enfamil products.
Specifically, the recall applies to select U.S. batches of Nutramigen Powder, a specialty infant formula designed for babies with a cow's milk allergy, produced in June and distributed throughout the summer.
The 12.6 and 19.8-ounce cans in question were potentially in contact with Cronobacter sakazakii bacteria, according to the FDA.
Cronobacter bacteria is found naturally in the environment, but it can also live in dry foods like powdered baby formula. And although illnesses from the bacteria are rare, the average two to four cases the CDC sees in infants each year can be deadly.
Once infected, the bacteria can spread through the blood to other parts of the body and cause life-threatening infections or meningitis. These infections can begin to show with symptoms like poor feeding, irritability, jaundice, temperature changes, grunting breaths and abnormal movements.
According to the FDA, the Nutramigen products in the recall tested negative for the bacteria after extensive testing, but the Israeli Ministry of Health said a formula exported from a Michigan facility to the country tested positive for Cronobacter during routine sampling at the border.
Subsequent testing of the Reckitt/Mead Johnson facility didn't yield any other positive results, but the company agreed to initiate the recall after receiving positive whole genome sequencing results from Israel.
No illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall as of its posting, and the FDA says it's likely most of the affected products distributed in the U.S. have already been consumed.
Still, the federal agency recommends any Nutramigen customers check the bottom of their cans to identify whether their batch number is included in the recall. If so, they should stop using the product and throw it away immediately, then contact Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition for a refund.
The recalled batch codes are ZL3FHG, ZL3FMH, ZL3FPE, ZL3FQD, ZL3FXJ — all in 12.6-ounce cans — and ZL3FRW in 19.8-ounce cans. These affected products have a "Use By" date of Jan. 1, 2025 and UPC codes of 300871239418 or 300871239456.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican actor Ana Ofelia Murguía, who gave voice to the character of “Mama Coco” in the popular Pixar film “Coco,” has died, Mexican officials said. She was 90.
Mexico’s National Fine Arts Institute announced Murguía’s death Sunday without providing a cause of death.
“She leaves an enormous void on our country’s sets,” Culture Secretary Alejandra Frausto Guerrero said in a statement.
“Coco,” which was released in 2017, brought Murguía to an international audience late in life.
But the actor had a long acting career in Mexican film and television, and on the stage. She appeared in some 70 plays and 90 movies, including ‘Life Sentence’ (1979) and ’The Queen of the Night’ (1994).
In the animated “‘Coco,” she voiced the soft-spoken great-grandmother of a boy discovering his family’s musical history.
In April, the National Autonomous University of Mexico awarded Murguía its Ingmar Bergman Medal for leaving “an indelible mark” on Mexican film and theater.
In her acceptance speech, Murguía displayed her typical humility, asking “Why me?” She said she was exhausted by all of the recognition and plaudits.
“This career has been my life,” Murguía said. “It has been the passion of my life. I’ve loved it.”

SALT LAKE CITY (KTVX) — The Disney icon Mickey Mouse has waltzed on into the public domain — or at least, a version of him has.
On Jan. 1, 2024, thousands of copyrighted works from 1928 became public domain in the United States, meaning they are free for everyone to copy, share or use to build upon. Among those works is the first iteration of Mickey Mouse, otherwise known as “Steamboat Willie”.
The black-and-white classic animation is the first feature showing what would become the iconic Mickey and Minnie Mouse. There are still caveats to using the Steamboat Willie and associated characters, of course.
Duke University Center for the Study of the Public Domain Director Jennifer Jenkins, who writes an annual Jan. 1 column for “Public Domain Day,” explained that Disney still owns Mickey Mouse’s copyright as well as the trademarks for Mickey as a brand identifier. So long as you don’t use the mouse in a way that makes people think your work is made or sponsored by Disney and you don’t use any newer versions of Mickey, you’re in the clear.
“Ever since Mickey Mouse’s first appearance in the 1928 short film Steamboat Willie, people have associated the character with Disney’s stories, experiences, and authentic products,” a Disney spokesperson said in a statement to The Associated Press. “That will not change when the copyright in the Steamboat Willie film expires.”
Current artists and creators will be able to make use of Mickey, but with major limits. It is only the more mischievous, rat-like, non-speaking boat captain in “Steamboat Willie” that has become public.
“More modern versions of Mickey will remain unaffected by the expiration of the Steamboat Willie copyright, and Mickey will continue to play a leading role as a global ambassador for the Walt Disney Company in our storytelling, theme park attractions, and merchandise,” Disney’s statement said.
Not every feature or personality trait a character displays is necessarily copyrightable, however, and courts could be busy in the coming years determining what’s inside and outside Disney’s ownership.
“We will, of course, continue to protect our rights in the more modern versions of Mickey Mouse and other works that remain subject to copyright,” the company said.
Disney still solidly and separately holds a trademark on Mickey as a corporate mascot and brand identifier, and the law forbids using the character deceptively to fool consumers into thinking a product is from the original creator. Anyone starting a film company or a theme park will not be free to make mouse ears their logo.
Disney’s statement said it “will work to safeguard against consumer confusion caused by unauthorized uses of Mickey and our other iconic characters.”
“Steamboat Willie,” directed by Walt Disney and his partner Ub Iwerks and among the first cartoons to have sound synced with its visuals, was actually the third cartoon featuring Mickey and Minnie the men made, but the first to be released. It features a more menacing Mickey captaining a boat and making musical instruments out of other animals.
Steamboat Willie isn’t the only iconic character that now belongs to the public for free use either. According to Jenkins, A.A. Milne’s “House at Pooh Corner” entered the public domain, which introduced Winnie the Pooh’s loveable bouncy, trouncy, flouncy and pouncy friend Tigger.
The Pooh Bear himself entered public domain in 2022 and has since starred in an R-rated horror slasher film. A sequel to “Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey” is reportedly in the works and set to be released later in 2024, with the cast including a role for Tigger.
Other properties entering the U.S. public domain are Charlie Chaplin’s film “Circus,” Virginia Woolf’s novel “Orlando” and Bertolt Brecht’s musical play “The Threepenny Opera.”
Jenkins said the public domain should be celebrated as a “wellspring for creativity” In the United States. Copyright culture only reaches the public domain after a long wait – in the case of Steamboat Willie, for example, it took 95 years.
“When works go into the public domain, they can be legally shared, without permission or fee,” Jenkins said. “Community theaters can screen the films. Youth orchestras can perform the music publicly, without paying licensing fees.”
Jenkins said the whole point of copyright is to promote creativity and the public domain plays a central role in that. As more work enters the public domain, other creatives can reimagine previous works creating new movies, cartoons, books, plays, video games and music based on those works.

(NEXSTAR) — A massive solar flare — the largest in years — was spotted on the sun on New Year’s Eve, sparking a warning to some high-frequency radio users.
In an update Sunday evening, NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) released an image of the flare, which appeared as a large, glowing spot on the sun. You can see that image below.
“A flare is an eruption of energy from the sun that generally lasts minutes to hours,” the SWPC explains. This one in particular, which peaked just before 5 p.m. ET on Sunday, was categorized as an X5 flare.
Solar flares are classified based on their strength, much like earthquakes, according to NASA. The scale ranges from B-class on the lowest end to C-class, then M-class, and finally, X-class. Each letter represents a ten-fold increase in energy output, and there is a scale of 1 to 9 in each class, except for X-class. X-class flares can exceed 9, with the largest-ever recorded being an X45 that occurred in 2003.
Flares that are B- or C-class are too weak for us to notice on Earth, NASA explains, and M-class flares “can cause brief radio blackouts at the poles and minor radiation storms that might endanger astronauts.” X-class flares can cause more noticeable impacts, like radiation storms that can impact satellites and give small radiation doses to airplane passengers flying near the poles. NASA notes that they can also cause “global transmission problems and world-wide blackouts.”
At an X5, Sunday’s flare was much smaller than the flare recorded in 2003. It was, however, the strongest since September 2017, when an X8.2 flare was detected, according to the SWPC. This flare also supersedes an X2.8 solar flare reported in the same region of the sun on December 14. At the time, the SWPC reported that flare was “likely one of the largest solar radio events ever recorded.”
The SWPC said those using high-frequency radio signals (like emergency managers) may notice a “temporary degradation or complete loss of signal on much of the sunlit side of Earth” as a result of Sunday’s solar flare.
For the rest of us, the SWPC said we “need not be concerned.” While a coronal mass ejection (CME) — which can cause northern light displays on Earth — was detected in connection with Sunday’s solar flare, the chances of any of us seeing the aurora Monday night appear slim.
The SWPC’s current forecast shows only a few states have a chance at catching the auroras Monday night. Much of Alaska and Canada have a high likelihood of seeing the northern lights while some states — Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine have slim chances (denoted by the light green and red “view line” on the map below).
The aurora “may become visible along the horizon,” the SWPC said Monday.
A minor geomagnetic storm watch is in effect for Tuesday, though the likelihood of seeing the aurora appears even slimmer then, per the SWPC’s current forecast.
Solar activity and CMEs are only expected to be more common in 2024 as the sun continues through Solar Cycle 25. Solar cycles are 11-year periods when the sun flips its magnetic poles, sparking space weather like flares and CMEs, which are explosions of plasma and magnetic material from the sun that can reach Earth in as little as 15 to 18 hours, NOAA explains.
Those CMEs that do impact Earth not only cause auroras but can impact our navigation, communication and radio signals.
While it may sound alarming, you shouldn’t expect a five-day blackout and grounded flights if the aurora brightens up your sky.
There are resiliencies built into our electrical grids, flights, and communication systems to prevent or diminish any impact, Dr. Delores Knipp, a research professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences Department at the University of Colorado Boulder, told Nexstar in October. In fact, you may not even notice a solar storm has hit us (like Sunday’s solar flare). SWPC’s Rob Steenburgh previously told Nexstar that they “happen all the time and are no cause for alarm.”
“Some people worry that a gigantic ‘killer solar flare’ could hurl enough energy to destroy Earth, but this is not actually possible,” NASA previously explained. Plus, solar cycles repeat every 11 years. That means anyone over the age of 11 has already lived through a solar maximum (and probably didn’t notice its occurrence).
An added bonus of the current solar cycle? The total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, will occur near cycle maximum, meaning a good show for skywatchers, NOAA explains.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — It’s not uncommon for twins to have different birthdays, but a different birth year? That’s what a new set of twins in Connecticut will have for a lifetime.
Souli Morris was born at 12:02 a.m. at Yale New Haven Hospital, becoming the hospital’s first baby of 2024.
But she’s still younger than her brother, Seven, who was born at 11:59 p.m.
It’s unknown exactly how close he was born to midnight, according to the hospital, because births are only recorded in minutes.
The brother and sister — both weighing six pounds, nine ounces — were welcomed by Mykel and Aliyah Kiyomi Morris, of Hamden.
Every year, there are about 120,000 twin births, USA Today reports. The chance of twins having different birth years, like Souli and Seven Morris, is about 1 in 2 million, according to Natividad Medical Center.
A set of twins born in 2020 have an even wilder story: they were born 30 minutes apart but in different years and different decades.

(NEXSTAR) — A Powerball player (or players) could begin 2024 on a high note: the current jackpot has ballooned to an estimated $810 million ahead of the next drawing.
The current jackpot has been building since October when a $1.765 billion prize was won by a ticket sold in California. It had a chance to be the largest-ever Powerball jackpot won on Christmas Day, but no ticket matched the winning numbers drawn that day.
Now, the jackpot is on pace to be the first and largest lottery jackpot of 2024 (the Mega Millions jackpot is currently only $114 million).
As of Monday, Powerball officials estimate the jackpot to be $810 million, with a cash value of $408.9 million. At this size, the jackpot ranks as the fifth-largest in game history, coming in behind the $1.08 billion jackpot won in California in July of last year.
Here are the 10 largest Powerball jackpots:
- $2.04 billion: Nov. 7, 2022; California
- $1.765 billion: Oct. 11, 2023; California
- $1.586 billion: Jan. 13, 2016; California, Florida, Tennessee
- $1.08 billion: July 19, 2023; California
- Est. $810 million: Jan. 1, 2024
- $768.4 million: March 27, 2019; Wisconsin
- $758.7 million: Aug. 23, 2017; Massachusetts
- $754.6 million: Feb. 6, 2023; Washington
- $731.1 million: Jan. 20, 2021; Maryland
- $699.8 million: Oct. 4, 2021; California
It also stands as the 10th-largest jackpot across Powerball and Mega Millions behind a $1.05 billion Mega Millions grand prize hit by a ticket in Michigan in 2021.
A winner would, however, receive much less than the advertised $810 million, or the $408.9 million cash value.
Whether the winner takes the annuitized payouts or the cash prize, a large chunk is withheld for taxes. Though some states do not have a state lottery tax withholding, they all must withhold 24% in federal tax on prizes as large as this jackpot. With additional taxes, you’ll see roughly 37% of your prize money withheld, should you win.
Outside of those states — where a winner would take home roughly $511.6 million with the annuitized option or $257.6 million in cash, according to USA Mega — a winner would collect between $423.3 million ($213.1 million in cash) and $475.9 million ($239.7 million in cash).
That’s the best-case scenario, though. If there is more than one jackpot-winning ticket, the prize will be split amongst the winners. Even though the odds of winning the jackpot are slim (1 in 292.2 million), 18 of the more than 200 Powerball jackpots won since 2003 have been split by at least two tickets.
If you’re lucky enough to win the jackpot, even if you’re splitting it, experts recommend moving quickly to assemble a team that includes an attorney, a tax advisor and a financial advisor. They also encourage protecting your ticket and keeping your victory a secret for as long as possible — which may be easier in states that allow jackpot winners to remain anonymous.
If you’re ready to test your luck, the next Powerball drawing is Monday, January 1 at 10:59 p.m. ET.
Powerball tickets are $2 each and sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition to Mondays, drawings are held every Saturday and Wednesday at 10:59 p.m. ET. Players have a 1 in 24.9 chance of winning any Powerball prize.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will enter 2024 facing fresh questions about his future atop the GOP conference after a roller coaster year.
Over the past year he contended with health troubles, a challenge from the right and former President Trump becoming the favorite to be the GOP presidential nominee again.
McConnell has long faced queries about when his record-setting tenure as party leader will come to an end, but never more so than over the past year.
He easily swatted away an attempt by conservatives to oust him from the post, but the mere presence of the first challenge to his leadership signaled trouble and dovetailed with a rightward turn and increasing dissatisfaction from that group of lawmakers.
Perhaps more worrisome were the questions about his health. McConnell was sidelined last year with a concussion and a broken rib, prompting speculation about his future that only intensified after he noticeably froze twice in front of reporters over the summer.
Both the questions about his health and his ability to remain in his post — if he chooses to — have dissipated as McConnell has rebounded, several Senate Republicans and sources have told The Hill in recent months, helping him keep a strong hold on the conference.
“He is the recognized leader. He is still the strategist that sees the long game, and he is the guy who is putting the strategy out in front of us right now. That has not changed,” said Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.). “What I’m seeing has been a leader who has been on top of it.”
One Senate Republican predicted that if leadership elections had been held last month, McConnell’s support would be at a similar level to what it was last year when 11 members backed Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-Fla.) challenge.
But what McConnell chooses to do next remains a major question, and colleagues’ predictions are mixed.
The Senate Republican told The Hill on the condition of anonymity that they believe it is “baked” that 2024 will be McConnell’s last year in charge.
“I think it’s just more a function of how many sunrises and sunsets he’s observed and how long he’s been in politics,” the member said.
Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) said he would be “surprised” if McConnell ran again and pointed to past conversations they’ve had “about how he wants to leave [the] conference.”
“I personally would be surprised if he ran again for leader,” Mullin said. “But I will tell you, I don’t think anybody challenges him or beats him if he decided to run.”
Others believe McConnell’s plans could depend on who wins the presidency in November, given the bad blood between him and Trump and his long-standing relationship with President Biden.
“Who’s the president?” Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) said in November when a reporter asked if McConnell seeks another term as leader.
McConnell and his team are well known for playing their cards close to the vest, and this situation is no different. He has maintained that he will serve out the next year as leader and the remainder of his Senate term, which runs through 2026, but has declined to delve any deeper.
“Anybody who tells you they know is kidding themselves,” one senior Senate GOP aide said.
The “will he or won’t he” chatter comes as the Senate stares down what will be an arduous start to the year. Lawmakers will try to nail down a border deal in order to unlock Biden’s $111 billion supplemental and aid for Ukraine in their war against Russia, and race to fund the government.
While he has been one of the Senate’s foremost Ukraine advocates, McConnell has received some plaudits in the conference, including from some conservatives, for stepping back from that push once funds didn’t make it into the stopgap spending bill in September and he realized a border deal would be the only solution.
“I think it suggests that Mitch heard the conference pretty loud and clear,” Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) said.
The push to pass a border deal will likely come during the beginning of the GOP presidential primaries, where Trump is the overwhelming favorite to become the party’s choice for a third time, potentially creating issues for McConnell as there is no love lost between the two.
That sore spot cropped up just as the Senate left town when McConnell took a shot at the former president after Trump told supporters that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country.”
Some lawmakers have indicated that the possibility of Trump winning the White House again coupled with Senate Republicans staying in the minority could be more than enough to convince McConnell to call it quits in leadership.
“It seems to me spending your last couple of [years] taking on someone who’s going to be an adversary — ” Cramer said, cutting himself off before finishing his thought. “I just don’t know what Mitch’s tolerance for misery is.”
But some members believe McConnell’s approach to the ex-president will remain unchanged. According to the anonymous Senate Republican, McConnell “is not the least bit worried about Trump” and remains “unfazed” by the barbs thrown his way by the former president.
However, Trump’s influence is creating headaches in other ways for the leader, especially as the composition of the conference has shifted away from those of McConnell’s ilk to those with views more similar and sympathetic to the former president. Vance, an ardent Trump backer, is a prime example as he replaced former Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), who was part of McConnell’s leadership team before he departed.
Despite the questions surrounding McConnell’s future, there is little jockeying underway to replace him.
Senators said that while there is some taking place at the conference level and on the 2024 political scene among the “Three Johns” — Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) — it has by no means burst into the open. All three are considered McConnell allies, but each has their strong suits if they were to seek the top spot.
“No one’s jockeying for it openly … No one’s aiming at it. No one’s trying to undercut him,” Mullin said, comparing the situation with the years-long simmering battle in the House as former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and his team were always wary of maneuvers by House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.).
“There was always a little bit of … a contest between McCarthy and Scalise. There’s none of that between McConnell and Thune,” said Mullin, a friend of McCarthy who also serves as the freshman class’s representative on Thune’s whip team.
But for the next year at least, the conference is solidly with the Kentucky Republican, just as it has been since the mid-2000s.
“I don’t think he had any problems in the first place,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the only senator who has served for longer than McConnell. “And I haven’t seen any difference in the 17 years he’s been in that position.”

Israeli media said he spent time fighting in Gaza and even appeared in a photo next to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during one of his visits to soldiers in the field.
Yifrach went to southern Israel on Oct. 7 and presented himself alternately as a combat soldier from elite anti-terrorism units, a bomb dispersal expert, and a member of the Shin Bet internal security service, the indictment said.
Police arrested Yifrach on Dec. 17 and found large amounts of weapons, grenades, magazines, walkie-talkies, a drone, uniforms, and other military equipment in his possession.
Eitan Sabag, Yifrach’s lawyer, told Israel’s Channel 12 TV that Yifrach went down to the south to help as a paramedic with a first responder organization, and fought bravely to defend Israel for more than two months. “He was helping people and helping rescue people, all under fire, while also fighting against terrorists,” Sabag said.
Police also detained four other people, including a police officer, in connection with the weapons theft.

Grameen Telecom, which Yunus founded as a non-profit organization, is at the center of the case.
Sheikh Merina Sultana, head of the Third Labor Court of Dhaka, said in her verdict that Yunus' company violated Bangladeshi labor laws. She said at least 67 Grameen Telecom workers were supposed to be made permanent employees but were not, and a “welfare fund” to support the staff in cases of emergency or special needs was never formed. She also said that, following company policy, 5% of Grameen’s dividends were supposed to be distributed to staff but was not.
Sultana found Yunus, as chairman of the company, and three other company directors guilty, sentencing each to six months in jail. Yunus was also fined 30,000 takas, or $260.
Yunus said he would appeal.
“We are being punished for a crime we did not commit. It was my fate, the nation’s fate. We have accepted this verdict, but will appeal this verdict and continue fighting against this sentence," the 83-year-old economist told reporters after the verdict was announced.
A defense lawyer criticized the ruling, saying it was unfair and against the law. “We have been deprived of justice,” said attorney Abdullah Al Mamun.
But the prosecution was happy with what they said was an expected verdict.
"We think business owners will now be more cautious about violating labor laws. No one is above the law,” prosecutor Khurshid Alam Khan told The Associated Press.
Grameen Telecom owns 34.2% of the country’s largest mobile phone company, Grameenphone, a subsidiary of Norway’s telecom giant Telenor.
As Yunus is known to have close connections with political elites in the West, especially in the United States, many think the verdict could negatively impact Bangladesh's relationship with the U.S.
But Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen on Monday said relations between Bangladesh and the U.S. would likely not be affected by an issue involving a single individual.
“It is normal not to have an impact on the state-to-state relations for an individual,” the United News of Bangladesh agency quoted Momen as saying.
The Nobel laureate faces an array of other charges involving alleged corruption and embezzlement.
Yunus' supporters believe he's being harassed because of frosty relations with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Bangladesh’s government has denied the allegation.
Monday’s verdict came as Bangladesh prepares for its general election on Jan. 7, amid a boycott by the country's main opposition party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, led by former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, Hasina's arch-enemy. The party said it didn't have any confidence the premier’s administration would hold a free and fair election.
In August, more than 170 global leaders and Nobel laureates in an open letter urged Hasina to suspend all legal proceedings against Yunus.
The leaders, including former U.S. President Barack Obama, former U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and more than 100 Nobel laureates, said in the letter that they were deeply concerned by recent threats to democracy and human rights in Bangladesh.
Hasina responded sharply and said she would welcome international experts and lawyers to come to Bangladesh to assess the legal proceedings and examine documents involving the charges against Yunus.
In 1983, Yunus founded Grameen Bank, which gives small loans to entrepreneurs who would not normally qualify for bank loans. The bank’s success in lifting people out of poverty led to similar microfinancing efforts in other countries.
Hasina’s administration began a series of investigations of Yunus after coming to power in 2008. She became enraged when Yunus announced he would form a political party in 2007 when a military-backed government ran the country and she was in prison, although he did not follow through on the plan.
Yunus had earlier criticized politicians in the country, saying they are only interested in money. Hasina called him a “bloodsucker” and accused him of using force and other means to recover loans from poor rural women as head of Grameen Bank.
In 2011, Hasina’s administration began a review of the bank’s activities. Yunus was fired as managing director for allegedly violating government retirement regulations. He was put on trial in 2013 on charges of receiving money without government permission, including his Nobel Prize award and royalties from a book.

Nussmeier rallied the Tigers (10-3) from a 14-point second-half deficit to overshadow a stellar performance by Wisconsin's Tanner Mordecai, who threw for a season-high 378 yards and three TDs for the Badgers (7-6), who played without star running back Braelon Allen.
Nussmeier, who turns 22 in February, had appeared in 17 games over three years at LSU, including five this season while Daniels was compiling dazzling statistics — 3,812 yards and 40 TDs passing, 1,134 yards and 10 TDs rushing — on the way to winning the Heisman.
The Tigers started slowly — trailing 14-0 after one quarter, 21-14 at halftime and 31-28 heading into the fourth quarter.
Nussmeier set up the winning touchdown with completions of 37 yards to Kyren Lacy and 43 yards to Hilton. Thomas finished with eight catches for 98 yards, while Lacy had six receptions for 97 yards for the Tigers.
Mordecai, a sixth-year senior playing his final college game, finished 27 of 40 passes without an interception for the Badgers, who rolled up more than 500 yards of total offense despite playing without Allen, who opted out of the bowl game because he's declaring for the NFL.
Mordecai threw for 7,152 yards and 72 touchdowns in two seasons at SMU before transferring to Wisconsin, where his arrival — along with the addition of multiple transfer receiver and Air Raid disciple Phil Longo as offensive coordinator — created expectations that the Badgers were on the verge of abandoning their traditional staid run-oriented offense and would throw the ball more.
But Mordecai, who missed three games with a broken throwing hand, threw for just six touchdowns during the regular season.
TAKEAWAY
Wisconsin: Mordecai had the first 300-yard game by a Badgers quarterback since September 2019, offering a glimpse of the direction the offense is headed next season when Tyler Van Dyke, who is transferring from Miami, is expected to open as the starting quarterback.
LSU: The Tigers are confident Nussmeier has everything it takes, including a strong returning supporting cast, to be successful in 2024. LSU led the nation in total offense (547.8 yards per game) and scoring (46.4). One of coach Brian Kelly's priorities will be improving a defense that allowed 409.2 yards and 27.75 yards per game.
UP NEXT
Wisconsin: The Badgers open next season against Western Michigan and South Dakota before hosting Alabama on Sept. 14.
LSU: The Tigers begin the 2024 schedule against Southern California in the Vegas Kickoff Classic on Sept. 1.

That's because he has. Many, many times.
The Heisman Trophy finalist's five-year college football odyssey came to an end on Monday when the 8th-ranked Ducks beat No. 18 Liberty 45-6 in a lopsided Fiesta Bowl. Nix finishes his career — which included three years at Auburn before two at Oregon — as one of the most productive quarterbacks in NCAA history.
That would have been hard to imagine just a few years ago.
The 23-year-old took advantage of a fifth year of eligibility that he gained because of the COVID-19 pandemic to make 61 career starts, which is the most ever in the Football Bowl Subdivision. He finishes with 15,352 career passing yards (fifth in FBS), trailing only Houston's Case Keenum, Hawaii's Timmy Chang, Oklahoma's Landry Jones and Texas Tech's Graham Harrell. His 16,965 total yards are second behind Keenum.
Nix's Fiesta Bowl numbers were typical of his production over the past two years: 28 of 35 passing for 363 yards and five touchdowns. His accuracy on Monday allowed him to break the NCAA's single-season record for completion percentage: Nix connected on 77.44% of his passes, surpassing Mac Jones, who had 77.36% accuracy for Alabama in 2020.
The Ducks fell into an early 6-0 hole before the quarterback went to work on Liberty's overmatched defense, hitting Bryant for the 2-yard touchdown, Terrance Ferguson for another 2-yard score, Kenyon Sadiq for a 3-yard touchdown and Traeshon Holden for a 17-yard TD and a 31-6 lead just before halftime.
Nix's final passing touchdown of the afternoon — his fifth, which tied a Fiesta Bowl record — came early in the third quarter on a trick play with a reverse and then a flea-flicker. The quarterback handed off to Tez Johnson, who handed off to Bryant, who flipped back to Nix, who calmly threw it to Johnson for a 24-yard touchdown.
It was an exclamation point for Nix, whose career was resurrected at Oregon after an awkward split with Auburn following three up-and-down seasons. The Pinson, Alabama, native was the Southeastern Conference's Freshman of the Year in 2019, but struggled with consistency as the Tigers suffered through disappointing seasons in 2020 and 2021.
But Oregon coach Dan Lanning — a fellow SEC transplant who was familiar with Nix as an assistant at Georgia — saw some untapped potential.
He was absolutely right.
Oregon's had no shortage of great quarterbacks over the past decade, ranging from Justin Herbert to Marcus Mariota, but Nix is right there with them. The quarterback was a big reason the Ducks were in the College Football Playoff hunt throughout this season. A pair of three-point losses to Washington, including one in the Pac-12 Championship game, ended that dream.
Like most of the Ducks, Nix was hurting after the second loss to the Huskies. With the NFL in his future, many thought the quarterback might opt out of the Fiesta Bowl and prepare for the draft.
Nix decided to play one more game.
“You go the whole season, you’re playing and you’re going week by week, and things get crazy,” Nix said earlier this week. “When you get to the bowl game, it’s like your last hurrah for the whole team and your last time to be together to maximize that time with your teammates and coach.”

Kristen Campbell stopped 24 shots for Toronto in front of a sellout crowd of 2,537 at Mattamy Athletic Centre, the former home of the NHL's Maple Leafs.
Tennis great and PWHL board member Billie Jean King performed the ceremonial puck drop alongside PWHL senior vice president of hockey operations Jayna Hefford. Each Toronto player was introduced to the crowd pregame. All received standing ovations as lights flashed from fans’ mobile phones recording the historic moment for the six-team league that has a collective bargaining agreement with its players in place through 2031.
New York and Toronto met Dec. 7 in a preseason scrimmage in Utica, New York, with New York winning 6-4.
Having outshot Toronto 13-8 in the first period on New Year's Day, Shelton opened the scoring for New York 10:43 into the period. Shelton beat Campbell with a wrist shot from the left faceoff circle through some traffic.
Toronto had numerous scoring chances of its own in the period but didn’t capitalize.
Sarah Nurse beat her defender with a toe drag only to be stonewalled by Schroeder with 1:57 left. Emma Maltais faced the same fate shortly after on a one-timer.
The second period was scoreless, with Toronto outshooting New York 16-4, but Schroeder continued her impressive play.
Maltais was stopped point blank on a rebound off a Hannah Miller shot with just under five minutes to go, while Natalie Spooner’s wrist shot from the slot was kept out soon after.
Carpenter doubled New York’s lead 2:53 into the third period. She streaked down the left side and roofed the puck over Campbell’s left shoulder.
Saulnier made it 3-0 at 4:57. Jade Downie-Landry picked up the puck by Toronto’s blue line and sent in a cross-ice pass while driving toward the net. A streaking Saulnier tipped it in.
Vespa furthered New York’s edge at 7:42. She took a pass in front from Alexandra Labelle and swept the puck in past Campbell.

The two teams meet again Friday at Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Abu Dhabi, UAE (CNN)The chief executive of Qatar Airways has defended a plan to operate more than 160 extra flights to shuttle spectators from the region to Doha and back each day, for what has been advertised as the first "carbon neutral" FIFA World Cup.
Qatar Airways announced on Thursday it had partnered with regional carriers to allow World Cup ticket holders to fly into Doha and back from neighboring countries just for the day. Climate advocates say the decision flies in the face of the tournament's sustainability goals.
"Please don't believe people saying only negative [things]," Akbar Al Baker told CNN's Becky Anderson in an interview on Monday, adding that he was confident the flights would be full.
"[We] have airplanes which have very low emissions compared to the normal aircraft most of the other airlines fly," including long-haul flights, he said.
He did not elaborate on how the planes' emissions would be lower than others, but the airline's website says it uses "one of the youngest fleets in the sky" and has implemented 70 fuel optimization programs. Aviation is a major contributor to human-caused climate change. Qatar's economy is oil-based and has one of the biggest per capita carbon footprints in the world.
Before Thursday's announcement, organizers had estimated a carbon footprint for the tournament of more than 3.6 million metric tons of CO2, more than half of which will come from traveling supporters. The emissions from the new daily flights -- from Dubai, Muscat, Riyadh, Jeddah and Kuwait -- will add to the current estimate.
In response to questions from CNN, FIFA said its previous carbon footprint estimate was published in February 2021 and that actual differences would be addressed once the tournament has concluded.
Qatar has said it will offset the emissions by "investing in green projects" -- a common way for companies and people to cancel the impact of their footprint. Organizers have established a "Global Carbon Council" tasked with "identifying quality projects."
Climate experts, however, have highlighted the limitations of offsetting programs, such as tree planting, arguing that they are overused and their impact sometimes overstated, to allow for business-as-usual emissions from burning fossil fuels.
Carbon Market Watch published a report Tuesday that said the World Cup's carbon credit plan supported projects with a "low level of environmental integrity" and had so far issued only 130,000 credits of the pledged 1.8 million. The World Cup is due to start in late November.
CNN has reached out to the Qatari government's Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy, which is responsible for the event, for comment.
The Carbon Market Watch report also claims FIFA's estimated carbon emissions for the tournament have been grossly underestimated, criticizing "the choice of accounting approach."
In response to the report, FIFA said its accounting method was based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, a widely used standard.
It added it had not "misled its stakeholders" and was "fully aware of the risks that mega-events pose on the economy, the natural environment and on people and communities."
In a September press release, the Qatari organizers of the event said one of the advantages of hosting the World Cup was "the compact nature" of their country. The short distance between stadiums would negate the need for domestic air travel by fans and reduce the carbon footprint of the tournament. It went on to say air travel is "recognized as one of the world's largest sources of carbon emissions."
But there have been growing concerns that the small country of less than 3 million people may not be able to cope with so many fans. Flying spectators in and out in a day would alleviate the need for higher levels of accommodation.
Al Baker, however, said it was always the plan to run the extra flights to shuttle people in just for the day.
"His Highness the Emir always wanted to share the benefit of this tournament with all of our neighbors," he said.
"It is feasible because, first and foremost, we have good state-of-the-art facilities. They process people very quickly. We have also brought in massive transportation facilities including the metro," Al Baker said.

People who have a Covid-19 rebound after treatment with the antiviral drug Paxlovid can be contagious and may not know it because they might not have symptoms, researchers warn.
“People who experience rebound are at risk of transmitting to other people, even though they’re outside what people accept as the usual window for being able to transmit,” said Dr. Michael Charness of the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Boston.
Charness and his colleagues recently collaborated with a team of researchers at Columbia University to look into cases of Covid-19 that return after Paxlovid treatment. He said they’ve found at least two instances in which people have transmitted to others when their infection recurs.
In one case, a 67-year-old man infected a 6-month-old after a half-hour near the child.
The man was 12 days past his first positive Covid-19 test. He had taken a five-day course of Paxlovid and was feeling better. He didn’t have any symptoms when he saw the baby, who was his grandson, but about eight hours later, he started to feel ill again.
The baby tested positive about three days later, as did both of his parents. Neither the baby nor its parents had any other close contacts before they got sick.
“It indicates that you can transmit during rebound even before you develop symptoms,” Charness said. “And you know, we studied a small number of people. It’s certainly conceivable that there are other people out there who don’t have symptoms and still have a viral rebound.”
In another instance, a 63-year-old man infected two family members during three days of relapse after Paxlovid.
Take precautions after Paxlovid
Based on this research, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidance last week for people experiencing Covid-19 rebound after Paxlovid.
The CDC said people who test positive again and whose symptoms come back after finishing their antiviral pills should restart their isolation period and isolate for five full days. The agency says people can end their isolation period after those five additional days as long as their fever has been gone for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication and they’re feeling better. The agency also recommends that people wear a mask for 10 days after their symptoms come back.
The findings and guidance come as Paxlovid use has increased in the United States. According the White House, over the past two months, filled prescriptions for Paxlovid have climbed from about 27,000 a week to 182,000 a week.
The administration credits the increase to its test-to-treat program, which created one-stop hubs in grocery and drug stores where people could take a Covid-19 test and immediately receive and fill a prescription for antiviral medications. The antiviral drugs should be taken within the first few days of symptoms.
The drug works well. In clinical trials, Paxlovid reduced the odds that a person at risk of severe Covid-19 would need to be hospitalized by almost 90% compared with a placebo.
For that reason, the CDC says, early treatment with this medication is still recommended.
As helpful as it is, though, researchers say people should be aware the drug may not completely extinguish the infection.
Charness and his co-authors have now collected at least 10 such cases of Covid-19 recurrence after Paxlovid. Half of them have come from just two families, leading the researchers to conclude that such cases are not all that rare.
The research is shared as a preprint. It has not been scrutinized by outside researchers or published in a medical journal.
Genetic testing suggests that when people get a second round of Covid-19 after Paxlovid, it’s not because they’ve been infected by a different strain of the virus. There’s also no sign that the virus has changed or mutated to develop some kind of resistance to the drug.
So far, rebound cases have been mild. There haven’t been any reports of severe disease during a Covid-19 relapse. Because of this, the CDC says, there’s no reason to think that more treatment is needed.
Cause still not known
Why this might be happening is still a mystery.
In his studies, Charness said, the researchers watched the amount of virus in a person’s body – called their viral load – go down on Paxlovid treatment.
“People take Paxlovid, and what we know it does very well is, it blocks viral replication,” he said. And so the levels of virus go down. But then in some people – no one knows how many, because not enough people have been studied – levels of the virus begin to climb again nine to 12 days after they first test positive, Charness said.
It’s not entirely clear that taht rebound is linked to Paxlovid. In studies of more than 2,200 Covid-19 patients, Pfizer, the company that makes the drug, said there were a few patients who had their Covid-19 come bouncing back after a negative test, but they were in the group that took Paxlovid as well as in those who got the placebo, suggesting that Covid just reappears in some people, even without treatment.

Charness’ team has done its own comparison study, however, and found something different. When researchers looked at 1,000 cases of Covid-19 diagnosed between December and March in players and support staff of the National Basketball Association who had not taken the drug, they didn’t find any cases of Covid-19 returning. This study is still unpublished.
They say more research is needed to understand whether there could be any connection to the drug.
Charness said the fact that the infection can come back this way after treatment presents some questions. For one, would rebound be as common in people who started the drug later, maybe on day four or five after their first symptoms, after their immune systems have had longer to initially see the virus? Would a longer course of treatment – maybe taking the drug for six or seven days, rather than five – lower the risk that the virus would come back?
“No one knows,” he said. “Somebody should be studying this.”

(CNN)A fire that burned part of a chemical plant in Nebraska's most populous city Monday evening and Tuesday led officials to urge some residents to evacuate the area.
The blaze at Nox-Crete, a chemical plant south of downtown Omaha, was reported just before 7 p.m., the city fire department said. Huge flames were consuming part of the building, sending columns of dark smoke into the air, video that evening from CNN affiliate KETV showed.
Fire officials recommended evacuations for people living between South 13th and South 20th streets and Leavenworth and Martha streets "due to the explosions and smoke from the fire," city fire Battalion Chief Scott Fitzpatrick told CNN late Monday.
Nox-Crete produces chemical products to help with concrete work, according to the company website. CNN's attempts to reach Nox-Crete for comment were not immediately successful.
Crews continued battling the fire early Tuesday, video from KETV showed. No injuries were reported as of late Monday, Fitzpatrick said. The fire penetrated the roof, "causing walls to become structurally unstable," the Omaha Fire Department said in a news release.
The fire's cause wasn't immediately known, the department said.
People who evacuated could go to Omaha's Columbus Community Center if they need a place to shelter, the department said.

Bradford, Pa. — Beacon Light, an affiliate of Journey Health System, held their annual board and donor appreciation event last week at the Pennhills Club in Bradford.
Two of the recipients were honored for nearly five decades of service.
Agency leaders thanked board members for volunteering and the donors in the community for providing philanthropic support toward the agency’s mission.
Milestone awards were presented to the following board members:
2020 Years of Service recipients:
John Satterwhite, 45 years
Kathy Jones, Maureen “Cheri” O’Mara and Joe Yaros, 15 years
Peter Buchheit, 10 years
2021 Years of Service recipients:
Brandon Means, five years
2022 Years of Service recipients:
Robert Saunders, 45 years
Dr. Richard Dryden and Dr. Richard McDowell, 10 years
Gretchen Brahaney, five years
The 2022 B.E.A.C.O.N. Award was presented to Richard “Rick” Seager. B.E.A.C.O.N. stands for Being an Enthusiastic Advocate for Community and Organizational Needs and is awarded each year to an individual who exemplifies service to the Beacon Light companies.
“Rick exemplifies the true meaning of the B.E.A.C.O.N. Award,” said Guy Signor, president and CEO. “He has been chosen by the Board of Beacon Light to be honored this evening because during his over 12 years as the previous President and CEO of Journey Health System, Rick accomplished many things that set the organization on a course of growth that will continue for years to come.”
When he came to the agency, Seager had already accomplished so much including being the founding President of Deerfield Behavioral Health. Deerfield filled a need of providing professional psychiatric resources to rural communities.
As part of his consulting business in behavioral health, Seager then assisted Beacon Light during a difficult period when managed care was first knocking on doors and our long-time President was looking to retire. The Board chairman at the time, Harvey Golubock recognized Rick’s talent and asked him to consider filling the position as President of Beacon Light.
Rick accomplished many things during his tenure that set the organization on a course of growth that will continue for years to come. To name just a few, Rick is responsible for the Recovery Center in Warren. This was his vision for a community outpatient center that would be centrally located and provide a one stop shop for behavioral healthcare needs. He did this by converting an abandoned grocery store to a state-of-the-art facility for people to receive mental health treatment in a respectful, consumer-friendly environment.
In addition, Seager brought Stairways Behavioral Health and Dickinson Center into Journey Health System’s new family of affiliates. These additions doubled the size of the organization and diversified programing and geographic reach across Pennsylvania.
Seager is also very active in the community. He served as a member of the Pitt-Bradford Advisory Board, the Bradford Business Alliance Board, is an active participant in the Pennsylvania Rural Psychiatry board, the CNB Financial Corporation board since 2010, and the LECOM Health Millcreek Community Hospital board for 20 years.
“Beacon Light is a critical part of the fabric of our community, providing cradle-to-grave psychiatric care,” stated Seager. “It has been a privilege to be a part of this important mission.”
The evening closed with an inspirational video regarding Beacon Light’s Custer City School program.
Signor thanked all of the agency’s staff, supporters and honorees. He also noted the thousands of children and adults who received treatment throughout Beacon Light’s over 120 years of service. Each day, their programs touch more than a 1,000 individuals in some way, and whether it’s in a family therapy session, a structured group home setting, a peer-led mental illness recovery journey, or alternative classrooms teaching life skills.
“It is through your efforts and commitment that our future caring for the most vulnerable members of our community is secure. So, this night is about thanking all of you,” added Signor.

Harrisburg, Pa. — A bill to increase reimbursements for EMS agencies has gotten approval in committee and will head to the House for consideration.
The House Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee approved legislation State Rep. Martin Causer sponsored that would boost Medicaid reimbursement rates for emergency medical services agencies.
The increased reimbursements are necessary to help EMS agencies keep their doors open and be ready to respond when people need medical care, Causer said.
EMS providers have received only two increases in reimbursements for transporting individuals covered by Medicaid in the last two decades with the last increase taking place in 2018. The rate for Advanced Life Support (ALS) services would increase from $300 to $400 per trip, while the rate for Basic Life Support (BLS) services would increase from $180 per trip to $325.
House Bill 2434 would offer an added premium for rural providers, similar to that offered through Medicare, to recognize the added costs those providers face. Finally, the bill would require that EMS agencies be paid for all loaded miles at a rate of $4 per mile. Currently, Medicaid reimburses $2 per loaded mile, but only after the first 20 miles.
Future reimbursement rates for services and mileage would increase when Medicare rates increase based on changes to the CPI to keep pace with the increased cost of providing this service.
The bill now goes to the full House for consideration.

WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden disagree, they don't hash it out in front of other people. Instead, she says, they argue by text — “fexting” as they call it.
Jill Biden also told Harper's Bazaar magazine in an interview that her divorce from her first husband taught her to be independent and that she has drilled that lesson into her daughter and granddaughters.
She says she could soon be sharing White House living quarters with a teenage granddaughter.
When Joe Biden was vice president, the couple decided to settle disagreements by text to avoid fighting in the presence of their Secret Service agents — and dubbed it fexting.
After she recently texted him in a fit of pique, he told her, "'You realize that's going to go down in history. There will be a record of that,'" she said. Presidential communications are preserved for the historical record. She told her interviewer, "I won't tell you what I called him that time."
The first lady appears on the cover of the publication's June-July issue, available on newsstands June 7. Harper's Bazaar said it’s the first time in its 155-year history that a U.S. first lady has been so prominently featured.
Jill Biden was 18 when she married her first husband. But by her mid-20s, she was divorced, alone and on her own for the first time in her life. The breakup dealt her an emotional blow as she had idolized her parents' union and thought she'd have a marriage as long-lasting as theirs.
She finished college and became a teacher.
“I knew I would never, ever put myself in that position again, where I didn’t feel like I had the finances to be on my own, that I had to get the money through a divorce settlement,” she said.
“I drummed that into (my daughter), Ashley, ‘Be independent, be independent.’ And my granddaughters," she said. “You have to be able to stand on your own two feet.”
Jill Biden met then-Sen. Joe Biden in 1975, and they were married two years later.
She kept teaching throughout his rise in national politics, eventually becoming the first first lady to hold a paying job outside the White House. She fits her responsibilities as first lady around her twice-a-week teaching schedule at Northern Virginia Community College.
Granddaughter Naomi is engaged to be married and is planning a White House wedding reception in November. Another granddaughter recently told the first lady that she landed an internship in Washington and would like to move into the executive mansion for the summer.
“I'm going to be raising a teenager?” Jill Biden exclaimed.

- While the S&P 500 has lost more than 13% YTD, pharma stocks are up 6%.
- BMY, MRK and ABBV have all beaten the pharma index YTD.
- All three pharmaceutical stocks are relatively cheap and sport sizable dividends.
All the top most-favored growth stocks of the last two years have been humbled in 2022. Since the pandemic began, retail investors piled into names like Upstart, Affirm, Sea Limited, Shopify and Snowflake. Although every single ticker is unique and unlike any other, investors who front-loaded growth have seen the value of their portfolios drop by as much as 80% in the first half of 2022's horrific market sell-off. The blame can be laid at expanding inflation, the covid supply crunch or the Fed's hefty interest rate hikes (or, more likely, all three), but nonetheless the fallout seems likely to continue. In the current scenario many investors are looking to preserve capital rather than make risky long-term bets that growth stocks return and similar multiples as before.
At this point, nearly everyone knows that energy has been the best performing sector in the first half of this year, and oil stocks have made some of the best trades due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing oil price spike. Many observers appear to have missed out on the pharmaceutical industry though. The Nasdaq US Benchmark Pharmaceuticals Index has gained nearly 6% year to date, while the S&P 500 has lost more than 13%.
S&P 500 vs. Nasdaq Pharmaceutical index YTD
What is more is that quite a few of the largest and safest pharmaceutical stocks have outperformed their index by a hefty margin. Below you can see how three of the best and biggest players in the industry have performed so far this year. While the benchmark index sits just below a 6% gain for the year, AbbView (ABBV) has garnered a 10.8% increase in valuation, Merck (MRK) has advanced 21.1%, and Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) has added 23% to its market cap. As a method of capital preservation, these three pharma stocks seem your best bet for waiting out the current market capitulation.

While oil stocks have already made their advance, share prices in that industry are fickle. A severe drop in the price of oil is likely if the war in Ukraine comes to a halt this summer or fall. Pharma stocks on the other hand are only looking up. They are cheap, provide sizable dividends and act as safe havens during market downturns.
AbbVie Stock Analysis and Forecast
AbbVie (ABBV) has only been around since 2013 when parent Abbott Laboratories (ABT) decided to spin off its main pharmaceutical business. At that time some turned up their noses at the new stock, seeing as its drug Humira was about to lose its patent protections. For the next decade though, AbbVie went on an acquisition spree that has padded its top line and made it one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world.
Even with a market cap of $265 billion though, AbbVie looks cheap on a number of metrics. Over the past half decade, despite growing revenue by 17.6% on average and operating cash flow by 25%, ABBV stock trades for just a 10.4 forward EV/EBITDA multiple. The sector at large averages 13.3 on this scale. Its forward price/sales ratio at 4.5 is also below its sector.
It sports a 3.76% dividend, nearly thrice what the S&P 500 offers. On top of that, management has been growing the dividend at a 13.2% annualized growth rate over the past five years. With a rather high 78% payout ratio, it may seem like ABBV cannot possibly keep its dividend growing at this rate. However, AbbVie has managed to grow EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) at a greater than 22% rate over the past five years, so substantial payout growth makes for a solid bet.
ABBV stock has been in a downtrend since April 7. May has seen some consolidation and a closing of the gap formed on April 29. The 9-day and 20-day moving averages have overlapped during the past week and a half. If ABBV shares close below $147, then support seems strong at $140, which is where we recommend picking up shares. Closing above $157 will signal renewed interest, but resistance at $159.50 should be quite strong.
ABBV daily chart
Bristol Myers Squibb Stock Analysis and Forecast
Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY) is the result of more than 130 years of acquisitions. Today the pharma giant has laboratories and operations in more than a dozen locations in the US, as well as the UK, Spain, Belgium and Japan. In 2019 BMY completed its largest acquisition yet with the $74 billion takeover of Celgene. It is known for its diabetes drugs and especially its cancer treatment Opdivo.
Its EV/EBITDA multiple is 9, and its forward price/sales is 3.5, which is even cheaper than AbbVie. These low multiples are usually reserved for stale companies with bleak prospects, but Bristol Myers has grown revenue by more than 21% on average over the past five years and operating cash flow by more than 59% annualized in that span. On the dividend front, the 2.84% yield is more than twice the S&P 500 overage. The company has grown its dividend by 7% on average over the last half decade.
Forecasting the next six months is hard with this one, since it has already advanced more than 20% year to date. The daily chart below shows what some might at first glance think looks like a triple top. In fact though, BMY shares have butted up against the $78.12 resistance level seven times since entering this bullish rectangle on April 7.
Bullish rectangles are bullish continuation patterns where triple bottom and triple tops have failed on their confirmations. A close look at the chart shows that the last three candles to touch $78.12 have made attempts beyond above it. At the same time the last three low candles have not even reached the support at $74.86. This is another sign that BMY stock will soon break through its top line and travel until it finds more suitable resistance. The length of this bullish rectangle will determine how large the next run-up is, but we see at least $85 as the next level to overtake.
BMY daily chart
Merck & Co. Stock Analysis and Forecast
Merck & Co. (MRK) is yet another diversified drugmaker with major products aimed at diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disorders and most recently an antiretroviral pill for treating Covid-19. Like its counterparts in this article, Merck has prospered by a heavy focus on research and via an active acquisition strategy. Over the past decade, Merck bought out Idenix Pharmaceuticals, OncoEthix, Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Afferent Pharmaceuticals, Calporta, Tilos Therapeutics, Rigontec and Peloton Therapeutics, just to name a few.
Merck has grown slower than its competitors over the past five years but has remained robustly profitable. Revenues have grown on average about 7% per year, and operating cash flows have neared 10% growth annually. MRK’s EV/EBITDA comes in at just under 11, and it trades for a cheap four times forward sales. The dividend is what makes this one valuable. At 3%, the yield has grown at nearly a 10% clip annually over the past five years.
MRK stock just hit a new all-time high on May 23, so $94.80 remains the target for bulls to beat. There is no reason to think that will remain the high of the year. The company and industry is cheap and has benefitted from the weakness in other sectors. MRK stock looks to have found support at $91. If it breaks below this level, then it will likely stop quickly at $88.77, a former resistance line. The 9-day moving average is solidly above the 20-day moving average, showing that MRK stock is trending in a healthy upward trajectory. Look to buy when the price meets the 20-day moving average around $91.

- NYSE:AMC gained 20.25% over the past week of trading.
- Meme stocks look to continue their momentum ahead of GameStop’s earnings call.
- Top Gun Maverick has a record-breaking debut at the box office.
NYSE:AMC reversed course in a major way last week, as the meme stock soared higher by over 20.25%. It was the best week for AMC since it saw a single-day squeeze of 45% at the end of March. The broader markets also snapped their seven-week losing skid, as all three major indices rose higher during the week. With a key jobs report scheduled for later this week, investors will likely be cautiously monitoring any more signs that inflation has peaked for the time being. As of Monday evening, stock futures for all three averages were higher, indicating that we could see the bullish rebound continue from last week.
Stay up to speed with hot stocks' news!
The meme stock sector in particular was soaring last week, as both AMC and GameStop (NYSE:GME) made major moves to the upside. GameStop jumped by 42% during the five-day trading period, and is showing signs of revival ahead of its quarterly earnings call on Wednesday. GameStop has been busy as of late, after the company announced the launch of a beta version of its non-custodial NFT and crypto wallet that it has created alongside Loopring. Meme stock investors are hoping for some more news on Wednesday about the NFT Marketplace and stock split that the company announced earlier this year.
AMC stock forecast
Some great news for AMC theaters as Top Gun: Maverick had a record-breaking debut at the box office this weekend. The film pulled in $248 million at the global box office already, making it the first $100 million opening weekend of Tom Cruise’s career. The debut is also the fourth highest of the pandemic era, following Spider Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and the Batman.

Slovak central bank Governor and European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Peter Kazimir said on Monday that he expects a 25 bps rate hike in July and is open to discussing a 50 bps move, perhaps for September, amid record-high Eurozone inflation, reported Reuters. The neutral rate in the Eurozone is closer to 2.0% than 1.0%, he opined, meaning it will take around 200 bps of tightening to get interest rates back to neutral.
Lifting interest rates back to neutral may not be enough to contain inflation, he warned, noting that inflation will stay over the bank's target in 2024 and possibly return in 2025. Moreover, Kazimir warned that a short recession in some Eurozone countries is possible this year, but a recession for the entire bloc is unlikely. Finally, Kazimir noted that inflation is broadening, but not yet de-anchoring.

Earlier this month, Thackeray had said he would be undergoing surgery for his knee and back problems.
Thackeray had been in the news after he recently gave an ultimatum to remove loudspeakers from mosques. He was also scheduled to go to Ayodhya on June 5, but he has put the plan on hold for now.

- EUR/USD has pulled lower on Monday as higher US yields boost the buck at the month’s end.
- The euro has weakened despite further hot EZ inflation figures which have underpinned ECB tightening expectations.
- The pair was last probing 1.0700, down from closer to 1.0800 on Monday.
Month-end flows plus hawkish commentary from Fed Board of Governors member Christopher Waller on Monday are being cited as lifting US bond yields as US market participants return from a long weekend this Tuesday. This is being cited as lifting the US dollar and weighing on EUR/USD, which has dropped back from Monday’s peaks near 1.0800 to test the 1.0700 level once again and is currently trading lower by about 0.6% on the day.
The drop on Tuesday comes despite above consensus Eurozone inflation figures (which weren’t too much of a surprise given hot numbers out of Germany and Spain on Monday). As a result, Eurozone money markets have lifted ECB tightening bets, and now foresee 115 bps of tightening by the end of the year versus 110 bps on Monday.
Whether the ECB actually delivers that much tightening this year is another thing, but the recent data supports the central bank’s recent shift in stance towards signalling rates returning to positive territory by the end of next quarter. ECB policymakers speaking on Tuesday doubled down on the stance that normalisation is warranted, though Ignazio Visco cautioned that tightening much be gradual in order to avoid so-called “fragmentation” (i.e. a blowout in periphery-core Eurozone bond yield spreads).
Ahead, focus turns to various tier two US data releases, including S&P/Case Shiller house prices and the May Chicago PMI and Conference Board Consumer Confidence surveys. US President Joe Biden is also set to meet Fed Chair Jerome Powell, another event markets will be scrutinising. Biden, a strong past proponent of Fed independence has promised not to seek “to influence its decisions inappropriately”, even as sky-high US inflation weighing on his approval rating.

- EUR/USD comes under pressure and puts 1.0700 to the test.
- Next on the upside comes the 3-month resistance line near 1.0800.
EUR/USD reverses part of the recent upside and retests the area around the 1.0700 level on Tuesday.
Despite the ongoing correction, there is still room for the pair to challenge the 3-month resistance line in the 1.0800 area, above which the selling pressure is expected to alleviate. The breakout of this level should put EUR/USD en route to extra gains with the next target at the weekly high at 1.0936 (April 21).
Looking at the longer run picture, while below the 200-day SMA, today at 1.1248, the medium-term outlook for the pair should remain negative.

- GBP/USD met with a fresh supply on Tuesday and snapped four straight days of the winning streak.
- Rebounding US bond yields, the risk-off impulse boosted the safe-haven USD and exerted pressure.
- The gloomy outlook for the UK economy supports prospects for additional losses amid Brexit woes.
The GBP/USD pair witnessed some selling on Tuesday and snapped a four-day winning streak amid resurgent US dollar demand. The intraday pullback from the vicinity of over a one-month high extended through the mid-European session and dragged spot prices to a fresh daily low, around the 1.2585 region.
The overnight hawkish comments by Fed Governor Christopher Waller triggered a fresh leg up in the US Treasury bond yields, which, in turn, assisted the USD to make a solid comeback. Speaking at an event in Frankfurt, Waller backed a 50 bps rate hike for several meetings until inflation eases back toward the central bank’s goal. This, along with the risk-off impulse, offered additional support to the safe-haven buck and exerted downward pressure on the GBP/USD pair.
The market sentiment remains fragile amid doubts that central banks can hike interest rates to curb inflation without impacting economic growth. The worries resurfaced following the release of official Chinese PMIs, which showed that business activity in both manufacturing and services sectors contracted in May. Furthermore, concerns that the global supply chain disruption would push consumer prices even higher, tempered investors' appetite for riskier assets.
On the other hand, the British pound was pressured by worries about the cost of living crisis, which the Bank of England cautioned could push the UK into recession later in 2022. Adding to this, the British government's legislation - that would effectively override parts of a Brexit deal - has raised fears about a trade war. This, along with expectations that a jumbo rate hike by the BoE would take its toll on the UK economy, adds to the grim outlook for sterling.
The fundamental backdrop seems tilted in favour of bearish traders and supports prospects for a further near-term depreciating move. That said, investors might refrain from placing aggressive bets ahead of this week's release of important US macro data, scheduled at the beginning of a new month, including the closely watched NFP report. In the meantime, traders will take cues from Tuesday's release of the Conference Board's US Consumer Confidence Index.

GBP/USD slumps below 1.2600 ahead of US data

- NYSE: NIO gained 4.87% during the past week of trading.
- Nio is set to report its May delivery numbers as China looks to lift COVID-19 lockdowns.
- A legacy automaker is revived as DeLorean jumps into the EV game.
NYSE: NIO rose alongside the broader markets last week, as the Chinese EV maker looks to build momentum ahead of its May vehicle delivery report. Shares of Nio rose by 4.87% during the past week of trading, and rose higher to start the week in Asian trading. The Hang Seng and Singapore markets were open, while the US markets remained closed for the Memorial Day Holiday. As of Monday evening, stock futures are in the green for US markets, which means that the bullish rebound from last week could continue into this week’s trading.

Another month is coming to an end which means EV makers are set to report monthly delivery numbers for May. There is some pessimism that has been mounting with regards to potential delivery numbers for May following the ongoing COVID-19 lockdowns in Shanghai. Other EV makers like Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) have already stated that the lockdowns will cost them the production of 50,000 vehicles. The company also saw its China deliveries fall by 98% in the month of April, and many in the industry are skeptical of the numbers that will be posted for May as well. China has announced it will ease its COVID-19 lockdowns as of June 1st.
NIO stock price
In an interesting move for the electric vehicle industry, as the DeLorean brand made famous in the Back to the Future movies has been revived. It’s not exactly the same brand, it’s just a company that bought the rights to create vehicles under its name. The DeLorean Alpha 5 is the company’s first EV model, and will come with a 300-mile battery range and top speed of 155 mph. The vehicle will be officially unveiled in August.

- NASDAQ:NVDA gained 15.67% during the past week of trading.
- Bank of America analysts remain bullish on NVIDIA’s stock.
- NVIDIA rival AMD is powering the world’s fastest supercomputer.
NASDAQ:NVDA saw a nice rally into the Memorial Day long weekend, following a steep sell-off after its first-quarter earnings report. Despite a near 10% sell off after weaker than expected guidance for the rest of 2022, NVIDIA still managed to gain 15.67% during the past week of trading. Much of NVIDIA’s strength was on the back of three consecutive bullish sessions that quickly made investors forget about the previous five months of pain. The markets are still down for the year, but with inflation seemingly being reined in by the Fed’s interest rate hikes, investors are cautiously optimistic that stocks have finally found a bottom. As of Monday evening, stock futures for all three major indices were in the green once again.

Analysts at Bank of America continue to support NVIDIA and remain bullish on the chip maker’s stock. The bank states that NVIDIA’s continued transformation from a legacy computer chip maker to an industry leader for the next generation of technology trends is widely underappreciated by the markets. The analysts praised NVIDIA’s balance sheet and recent quarterly earnings, and believe that the softer guidance for the rest of the year is a conservaitve outlook from the company. Bank of America reiterated its Buy rating for the stock and a $375 price target.
Nvidia stock forecast
The world’s fastest supercomputer and first Exascale supercomputer is powered by NVIDIA’s rival, AMD (NASDAQ:AMD). The company has been chosen to provide its AMD EPYC Processors and Instinct Accelerators. This marks AMD’s continued dominance in the field of supercomputers, as the company now powers five of the top ten fastest supercomputers in the world.

Economist at UOB Group Barnabas Gan assesses the latest results from the Industrial Production in Singapore.
Key Takeaways
“Industrial production expanded 6.2% y/y (+2.2% m/m sa) in Apr 2022, beating market expectations for a softer growth of 4.3% y/y (although the sequential increase is weaker than the projected +5.0% m/m sa). Excluding biomedical manufacturing, industrial production rose 7.7% y/y.”
“The global trade recovery and Asia’s gradual reopening of borders aided overall manufacturing momentum. This is led especially by the transport engineering cluster which expanded 17.2% y/y in Apr 2022, on the back of higher production of aircraft parts, maintenance & repair demand from commercial airlines. Strong demand from the semiconductor segment also underpinned the electronics and precision engineering industries.”
“On the back of Apr’s manufacturing print and Mar’s upward revision (Mar 2022: +5.1% y/y), Singapore’s industrial production rose 7.3% in the first four months of 2022. Despite the uptick year-to-date, it remains softer compared to the 9.2% growth print seen in the same period last year. Moreover, relatively higher base levels will dampen the IP growth numbers for the rest of this year, considering that industrial production expanded by double digit growth rates between May – Dec 2021 (except for Sep 2021).”
“In all, our outlook is for full-year manufacturing to grow by an average of 4.0% in 2022. This suggests that despite the high-base growth rate seen in 2021, global trade activity is expected to stay buoyant in the year ahead.”

- DXY reclaims ground lost and approaches 102.00.
- Further downside remains on the cards in the near term.
DXY manages to regain some composure and rebounds to the upper-101.00s following three consecutive daily drops on Tuesday.
The index remains under pressure and extra losses should not be ruled out for the time being. That said, further decline is expected to target the temporary 55-day SMA, today at 101.16, ahead of the 3-month line around 100.80.
Looking at the longer run, the outlook for the dollar is seen constructive while above the 200-day SMA at 96.85.

UOB Group’s Senior Economist Alvin Liew and Rates Strategist Victor Yong review the latest release of the FOMC Minutes of the May meeting.
Key Takeaways
“The three key takeaways from the minutes of the May 2022 FOMC were, 1) 50bps rate hikes will be necessary at the next couple of meetings to rein in inflation and that Fed policy may have to move beyond ‘neutral’ into ‘restrictive’ stance (but one point to note there was no indication of more hawkish intentions such as 75bps hike), 2) Fed policymakers remain very confident about the strength/fundamentals of the US economy and therefore near-term recession risks are low and its immediate objective is to tame inflation, and 3) There are downside risks to policy tightening, and by expediting the removal of policy accommodation the Fed will give itself policy flexibility at year-end.”
“The overarching message from the Fed remained centered on inflation with 60 specific mentions in the minutes and highlighted Russia-Ukraine conflict and China’s COVID-related lockdowns and their impact on prices and growth outlook. Some Fed policymakers suggested that the overall price pressures may no longer be worsening but cautioned it is too early to tell, and that inflation remains elevated.”
“Quantitative Tightening [QT] will start on 1 Jun 2022 and while all participants supported the plans for reducing it, a number of participants said it would be appropriate for the FOMC to consider active sales of agency MBS, so that it will hold primarily US Treasuries in the long run, adding that any sales of MBS will be announced well in advance.”
“FOMC Outlook – Affirming expectations for 50bps hikes in Jun and Jul FOMC: Given the clear indications for on-going hikes to combat inflation spelt out in the May FOMC minutes but no intentions of cranking up the size of the hikes, we are comfortable to maintain our FFTR forecast for another 50bps each in the June and July FOMC. We continue to expect 25bps in every remaining meeting of this year. Including the Mar FOMC’s 25bps hike and May FOMC’s 50bps hike, this implies a cumulative 250bps of increases in 2022, bringing the FFTR higher to the range of 2.502.75% by end of 2022, a range largely viewed as the range for neutral stance. We maintain our forecast for two more 25bps rate hikes in 2023, bringing our terminal FFTR to 3.00-3.25% by mid2023.”

9-year-old girl survives rare cougar attack in Washington
Published: May. 31, 2022 at 7:13 AM CDT|Updated: 9 minutes ago
FRUITLAND, Wash. (AP) — Witnesses say a 9-year-old girl survived a cougar attack after wandering up a trail with two friends while camping in northwest Washington state.
It happened Saturday morning near Fruitland, Washington.
The girl fought back while her friends ran for their lives. Adults rushed to help and found the girl covered in blood.
She was soon airlifted to a hospital, where she’s recovering after surgery for multiple wounds to her head and upper body.
Others found the young male cougar and killed it.
Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Staci Lehman says cougar attacks are rare, with only two fatalities in the last century in Washington state.

Fielding former MP D Kupendra Reddy as its candidate for the upcoming Rajya Sabha polls from Karnataka, JD(S) on Tuesday claimed that Congress national President Sonia Gandhi and other party leaders had consented to support him.
Expressing surprise over Congress fielding a second candidate “all of a sudden”, senior JD(S) leader and former Minister H D Revanna requested the national party for support to keep the “communal forces” out of the race.
“Sonia Gandhi on Friday spoke to Deve Gowda (JDS patriarch), following her consent we have fielded our party candidate today. In the same way H D Kumaraswamy (JDS leader) has spoken to K C Venugopal (Congress General Secretary) stating that JD(S) may fall short of a few votes and requested for support, after they agreed we have fielded the candidate,” Revanna said.
Speaking to reporters here, Gowda’s elder son said Kupendra Reddy himself had met state Congress President D K Shivakumar, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha M Mallikarjun Kharge, and other Congress leaders like R V Deshpande, B K Hariprasad and Ramalinga Reddy seeking support.

“He (Kupendra Reddy) also wanted to meet Siddaramaiah and had sought his appointment….but don’t know what happened, in a sudden development they (Congress) have fielded second candidate, despite not having numbers to win the seat,” he said, adding that Congress leaders had not expressed any intention to field second candidate.
A candidate needs 45 votes to win, and based on their strength in the Legislative Assembly, the BJP can win two seats and the Congress one, in the June 10 Rajya Sabha polls for four seats.
Despite not having adequate number of votes to win the fourth Rajya Sabha seat from the State Assembly, all the three political parties in the state — BJP, Congress and JD(S) — have fielded candidates for the seat, forcing an election.
In an unexpected move, the Congress on Monday fielded its state general secretary Mansoor Ali Khan as a second candidate; following this, the ruling BJP on Monday night announced the candidature of outgoing MLC Lehar Singh Siroya as its third candidate for the polls.
The Congress has to cooperate with the JD(S) if it really wants to keep the “communal forces” away from the race, Revanna said, as he requested Sonia Gandhi, Venugopal, Kharge, Siddaramaiah, Shivakumar and other party leaders for support.
“We all should together try to keep communal forces away. The decision is left for them (Congress).
There is a couple of days’ time (for withdrawal of candidature), let’s wait and see,” he said.
Revanna made it clear that Congress did not seek JD(S)’ support for its second candidate.
He also claimed that some Congress leaders had threatened not to vote in support of JD(S) if it fielded a candidate from a minority community. “…will reveal it when time comes.”
JD(S) state President C M Ibrahim too said, Gowda had spoken to Sonia Gandhi before deciding to field candidates.
“Before fielding candidate Deve Gowda spoke to Sonia Gandhi. Kupendra Reddy spoke to Kharge, after their consent, candidate was fielded. They (Congress) told us to field candidate and they will support….but now by fielding second candidate, their plan may be to help BJP,” he alleged.
After electing two Rajya Sabha candidates (Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and actor-politician Jaggesh) based on its own strength in the Assembly, the BJP will be left with an additional 29 votes.
The Congress will be left with 24 extra votes after electing Jairam Ramesh, while the JD(S) has only 32 votes, which is not sufficient to win a seat.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman filed her nomination for the Rajya Sabha election scheduled to be held on June 10, in Bengaluru Tuesday.
Before submitting her nomination papers to the Vidhana Soudha secretary, Sitharaman offered prayers at the historical Gavi Gangadhareshwara Temple Tuesday morning.
Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, former chief minister BS Yediyurappa, and BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel were present during the submission of Sitharaman’s papers.
Kannada film comedian S Jaggesh, who is from the dominant Vokkaliga community, has also filed nomination for Rajya Sabha from Karnataka in the elections to be held on June 10.
Best of Express Premium
The BJP, which has a total of 121 MLAs in the Karnataka legislative assembly, is guaranteed to win two of the four vacant seats from Karnataka. A candidate requires a minimum of 45.2 votes to win the polls from the 224-member House.
Rajya Sabha polls in Karnataka have been necessitated by the impending retirement of Nirmala Sitharaman, KC Ramamurthy of the BJP, and Jairam Ramesh of the Congress at the end of June. A fourth seat is vacant on account of the death of Congress leader Oscar Fernandes earlier this year. The tenure of Oscar Fernandes was also scheduled to end in June 2022.
Former Union minister Jairam Ramesh had submitted his nomination as the Congress candidate Monday.
The BJP Monday announced Lehar Singh as its third candidate for the Rajya Sabha polls in Karnataka.

Holding that mere registration of FIR would be insufficient grounds to dispense with a departmental inquiry before dismissing a delinquent employee, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has set aside an order of the Punjab Police as per which a head constable was dismissed from service after an FIR was registered against him for allegedly throwing biris (cigarette), jarda (tobacco) and a mobile phone to a prisoner inside the Sangrur district jail.
As per the FIR, it was alleged that the petitioner, Jarnail Singh, a head constable of Punjab Police threw biris, jarda and a mobile phone to a prisoner inside the jail and, when he was apprehended, he had a scuffle with a jail official. On the registration of the FIR, the Sangrur SSP dismissed him from service on November 13, 2017. The dismissal was by invoking Article 311(2)(b) of the Constitution, holding that there is no need to hold a departmental inquiry owing to the possibility that the witnesses will not give evidence against the police official due to threat or because the official can misuse the post or influence witnesses.

The counsel for Singh, advocate Parminder Singh Sekhon, argued that a false and frivolous FIR had been registered against the petitioner, in which he was granted regular bail. The dismissal order did not contain any cogent reason for dispensing with the departmental inquiry, he said.
Best of Express Premium
The state counsel, opposing the plea, argued that there are convicts and anti-social persons confined in the jail and a mobile phone can be misused by prisoners and anti-social elements in the prison for contacting their accomplices outside the jail. The mobile phone, in the possession of the anti-social elements and drug smugglers, can be a danger to the security of the country. Due to this illegal act, the image of the police department was tarnished due to which he was rightly dismissed from service, the counsel said.
The bench of Justice Jaishree Thakur, after perusing Article 311(2)(b) of the Constitution, said that the authority empowered to dismiss or remove a person or to reduce his rank without holding a departmental inquiry has to record reasons as to why it is not practical to hold such an inquiry. This reasoning is missing in the impugned order, the court said.
Justice Thakur added, “Mere registration of an FIR would not be sufficient ground to invoke Article 311 (2) (b) of the Constitution of India to dispense with holding of a departmental inquiry before dismissing a delinquent employee. In case of conviction, the situation is altogether different as has been specified in Article 311 (2) (a) of the Constitution of India.”
The high court said that a mere observation that “it is possible that the witnesses will not give evidence against this police official due to threat or this official can misuse the post can give threat to the witnesses or can win them over” would not satisfy the stringent conditions imposed regarding giving a reasonable explanation as to why an inquiry cannot be held.
The court thus ordered to set aside the petitioner’s dismissal order from service vide dated November 13, 2017, leaving it open to the department to take departmental action in accordance with the law.

Thousands of fans from different states turned up Tuesday to pay their respects to Sidhu Moosewala, who was shot dead by unidentified attackers Sunday evening, in the Moosa village of Punjab’s Mansa district as his parents prepared him for his last journey.
All roads leading to Moosa were blocked and people walked in the scorching heat to get the last glimpse of Sidhu Moosewala, 27, as the police stepped up security in the area. People had been waiting for hours as Moosewala’s family made arrangements for water and food for his fans. The police even lathi-charged the fans earlier in the day to control the growing crowd outside the singer’s house.
The parents of Moosewala, Balkaur Singh and Charan Kaur Sidhu, were seen crying inconsolably as they prepared their son’s body for his last journey.
A turban and a sehra
Best of Express Premium
Sidhu Moosewala was dressed as a groom according to a ritual followed in Punjab after a young unmarried man dies. The parents had been planning for the wedding of Sidhu Moosewala until two days ago, the family said.
The singer’s mother, who is also the sarpanch of the village, combed his hair, made a plait, and tied it into a knot as Sikh men do. A turban was then tied on Moosewala’s head along with a sehra, which a Punjabi groom wears before leaving for the bride’s home.
Moosewala’s father even fixed his son’s moustache, which expressed the attitude Sidhu Moosewala showed in the hit songs he sang. He also tapped his thighs with his hand, which is considered as an aggressive gesture against opponents in Punjab.
Slogan shouting
Sidhu Moosewala’s last journey was on his favourite tractor trolly which was decorated like a wedding car as hundreds of fans stood in front and behind the vehicle. His sobbing father saluted his son’s fans and removed his turban to show his gratitude towards them for the love they showered.
Most of his fans, including young girls, couldn’t get near the tractor to catch the last glimpse of Sidhu Moosewala as a crowd milled for around half a kilometre.
As the funeral procession headed towards one of the singer’s farms, his fans shouted slogans of Sidhu Moosewala Zindabad as well as those condemning the Punjab government and the police. He was cremated on the farm and not on a cremation ground.
Many people even broke the barricades around the funeral pyre but settled after a while. Ardas or prayer was performed by Sikh preachers before his father lit the pyre.

Directed by Dr. Biju Kumar Damodaran, the upcoming film will depict war as a man-made disaster.
The movie will explore society’s struggle for existence, love, peace, justice, relations and sanity through its characters, the press release said.
Damodaran, best known for directing National Award-winning movies Veettilekkulla Vazhi, Perariyathavar and Valiya Chirakulla Pakshikal, said his aim is to present social and cultural viewpoints through his cinema.
“Adrishya Jalakangal has a treatment that will smoothly mix reality with surrealistic notions and visuals. My goal in filmmaking is to create works that are artistically and aesthetically superior, all at a time while asserting our strong social and cultural stands,” the filmmaker said in a statement.
Radhika Lavu, founder-producer of Ellanar Films, said her team is eager to share the world of Adrishya Jalakangal.
“Windows open to a whole new world of imagination and are often used in art to symbolise hope, change and daring to explore. Our story of Adrishya Jalakangal is about those invisible windows which open to positivity and probability. It’s a path to gain perspective about something that has escaped our comprehension,” she said.
Adrishya Jalakangal will soon start filming.

Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan is setting a new benchmark when it comes to film promotions in Tamil cinema. He’s going above and beyond to ensure his latest movie Vikram gets the biggest opening in his career. Kamal has dedicated about 10 days to promote the film across the country and in parts of the world.
An industry source revealed that as part of his marketing strategy, Kamal Haasan will be visiting Chennai’s Rohini Silver Screens to greet the fans at the 4AM show on June 3. It’s not every Friday that you get to see a movie star of Kamal’s stature going out of his way to reach out to a bigger and wider audience.
It’s worth noting that superstars such as Rajinikanth, Vijay and Ajith Kumar don’t take part in movie promotions and steer clear of interviews, TV shows and other venues meant for advertisements. The only promotion that Rajinikanth and Vijay do for their movies is to attend the audio release functions and speak about their respective movies. Ajith even stays away from that.
But, it appears Kamal seems to be driven by his constant urge to break the pattern of ‘big stars don’t promote movies in Tamil.’ Kamal was even at the recently-concluded Cannes Film Festival to promote the movie. He then attended the trailer and the audio release event of Vikram, and also gave a series of interviews in Tamil Nadu. He surprised a handful of his fans by appearing before them, captured their reactions and posted it online. He later flew to Mumbai and shot for an episode of The Kapil Sharma Show to plug his movie for the Hindi audience. He also flew on private jets to Delhi and Mumbai and gave fresh rounds of interviews to the media there. He was recently in Kochi pitching the movie to fans in Kerala. Last Sunday, he made a special appearance on the popular reality TV show Bigg Boss Malayalam and talked about Vikram with superstar Mohanlal playing host. He also flew to Kuala Lumpur for promotions and arranged to illuminate Dubai’s Burj Khalifa with Vikram’s teaser trailer. He also visited Rajinikanth along with his director Lokesh Kanagaraj as the latter was unable to attend Vikram’s Chennai event in person.
Best of Express Premium
Kamal on Monday will attend the pre-release event of Vikram in Hyderabad. Actor Venkatesh is set to attend the event as a special guest. At 4 am, he will make a trip to the Chennai theatre to meet the fans, who have waited for over four years to see him on the big screen.
Written and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Vikram will release in cinemas in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.

Bobby Deol is all set to return as ‘Bhagwan’ Baba Nirala in Prakash Jha-directed MX Player series Aashram Season 3.
Ahead of its premiere, the makers shared a behind-the-scenes video of the show, in which Bobby speaks at length about the character arc of ‘Bhagwan’ Baba Nirala, audience’s reaction to his character, and his experience playing the self-proclaimed godman.
In the video, Bobby said, “I really enjoyed playing my character this time, even more than last time, because you see him losing his control, his grip over what he is, and showing the real side of himself, of what he really wants.”

Bobby Deol also revealed why he found Baba Nirala so interesting. He said, “In this season, you will see him becoming a megalomaniac. He starts believing he’s the first and last word for everything. He has lost his mind, his hunger for power has reached to another level. I think that makes him even more interesting.”
The official synopsis of the show reads, “Ek Badnaam Aashram revolves around the megalomaniac baba, who continues to bend every rule to suit himself and has become a power-hungry adversary. He believes to be above all and thinks he’s God. The power of Aashram is at its peak. This ‘badnaam’ Aashram continues to exploit women, indulge in the drug trade and control the politics of the town. On the other hand, Pammi is having sleepless nights to seek revenge from Bhagwaan Nirala. Will Ujagar Singh be able to help Pammi seek justice and expose the ‘badnaam’ Aashram?”
Conceived and helmed by Prakash Jha, Aashram Season 3 will premiere on June 3 on MX Player.

BJP MP and former state president of the party Dilip Ghosh has been censured by the central leadership for speaking against a section of party leaders in West Bengal. BJP national general secretary Arun Singh wrote to Ghosh in this regard at the instruction of the party’s national president J P Nadda.
The letter dated May 30 read, “While your commitment to the party has been absolute, there have been some avoidable instances when some of your statements or outbursts have anguished state party leaders and have also caused embarrassment to the central leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party. This was pointed out to you on several occasions by the party leadership in the fond hope that you will take note.”
The letter added, “In a recent interview your comments, in the electronic media and perhaps on other forums, have been openly critical of senior state functionaries. Such comments will only hurt and harm the party and negate your own hard work in the past. Besides, such statements, coming from a person of your stature, a national vice president, may create deep disaffection, unrest and alienation amongst party ranks, which given the norms of political behaviour and conduct, is unacceptable. The national leadership of the BJP is deeply concerned at issuance of such statements through the media.”
Singh further wrote, “On the instructions of hon’ble national president Shri JP Nadda Ji, I wish to convey to you the party’s deep anguish and concern at issuance of such statements and advise you to always refrain from going to the media or any public fora, about your own colleagues either in the state of West Bengal or anywhere else. I sincerely hope that you would appreciate the sensitivity of the situation particularly in West Bengal and shall always remain more discreet in your dealings with the print, electronic, other media or any public fora.”
Best of Express Premium
Following the development, Dilip Ghosh was not available for comment. However, he told his close associates that he was yet to receive a copy of the letter. Recently, Ghosh had targetted the new state leadership of the party and described them as “inexperienced.”
Reacting to the development, TMC state general secretary Kunal Ghosh said, “It is their internal matter. But Dilip Ghosh is a party old-timer and we will always have ideological differences with him. However, he has spoken the truth against his party and especially against newcomers and now his party has used a bulldozer on him. BJP leaders from Delhi are deciding who will speak and who will not. Instead of improving the party organisation in the state and stopping infighting, the central BJP leadership which does not understand the pulse of Bengal has resorted to censuring one of its leaders. This is unfortunate.”
State BJP spokesperson Samik Bhattacharya refused to comment on the issue. “We have not officially received a copy of the letter. Still, it is completely an internal matter of the party. I will not comment on this. Dilip Ghosh is the most successful state president of the BJP. He helped the party grow in Bengal, braving challenging situations. Therefore, I will not comment on this matter,” said Bhattacharya.

Actor Alia Bhatt is a fan of one such food, which is prepared in a majority of Indian kitchens, especially in the northern parts of the country. Can you guess what it is?
The Brahmastra actor took to her Instagram stories to share a photograph of her plate, which had the aforementioned modest Indian lunch and dinner food, dal chawal. Take a look.

The picture is essentially of the food half eaten, with a spoon resting on the side and the colours and textures popping out, making us all feel famished. The text accompanying it reads, “Nothing like dal chawal. Nothing!”
Same, Alia, same.
Dal chawal is packed with nutrients. Previously, food writer and television cook Nigella Lawson had taken to Instagram to share a ‘soothing picture’ of dal chawal, and many people around the world consider it to be a comfort food.

Separately, dal is rich in protein and fat, and rice has carbs and fibre. Together, they are great for gut health and can help with weight loss by making the digestion seamless, especially if you practise portion control.
It is said that the combination is known to be rich in antioxidants as well, along with vitamins A, D, E and K.

Everton manager Frank Lampard has been fined 30,000 pounds ($37,779.00) for criticising the referee during his team’s defeat by Liverpool in last month’s Merseyside derby, the Football Association (FA) said on Tuesday.
Referee Stuart Attwell did not award a penalty for a challenge on Everton’s Anthony Gordon and Lampard said after his side lost 2-0 that the spot kick would have been given had the challenge been made on a Liverpool player.
🚨 Limited Time Offer | Express Premium with ad-lite for just Rs 2/ day 👉🏽 Click here to subscribe 🚨
Earlier this month, the FA charged Lampard with improper conduct for attacking the integrity of referees.
Best of Express Premium
The 43-year-old denied the charge and has now been fined “for breaching FA Rule E3 in relation to media comments proven during a personal hearing,” the FA said in a statement.
“The Everton FC manager … denied that they constitute improper conduct as they imply bias and/or attack the integrity of the match referee – or referees generally – and/or bring the game into disrepute contrary to FA Rule E3.1,” the FA added.
Lampard took over at Goodison Park in January with the club hovering above the Premier League relegation zone. Everton secured their top-flight status in the penultimate game of the season and finished 16th, four points above the bottom three.

Ever since Manchester United appointed Erik Ten Hag, the club has been linked with Hag’s former protégé Dutch star Frenkie de Jong who currently plies his trade for Barcelona.
With United coming off a rather underwhelming season, calls for a complete squad upheaval have been increasing. This is where De Jong comes in and according to reports Ten Hag has identified him as a priority signing in order to sure up United’s clunky midfield.
The star, however, remained pretty vague when he talked to AD.nl, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano. “Of course I hear about the links to Manchester United, but the people in charge of Barça didn’t tell me anything,” he said.

“So then I will assume that there is no agreement, nothing to worry about. Contacts with ten Hag? I won’t tell you this,” he said, adding more fire to the speculation.
In the same interview, he said that Barcelona didn’t tell tell him anything. “They didn’t propose anything to me,” he added.
De Jong had also told ESPN that he preferred to stay in Barcelona and he did not want to indulge in rumours.

Manchester United are still pushing for Frenkie but he wants Champions League football. Nothing has changed, as of now.
— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) May 31, 2022
A big roadblock standing in the deal is that De Jong wants Champions League football but United are playing the Europa League this season.
But in an apparent boost to United, the Blaugrana’s president Joan Laporta has addressed the issue directly and admitted that the Dutchman may have to be sold in the summer transfer window due to Barcelona being strapped for cash.
As quoted by The Mirror, Laporta said, “He has a lot of quality, he knows our system and he’s a player we think should continue at Barça. But it’s also true that he’s a highly coveted player and we have had proposals from others. Right now, everything is open. It will depend a lot on the issue of fair play.”

Always-On Display, or AoD is expected to be one of the major features coming to select models of iPhone 14 later this year. While those who have been using iPhones for a long time may be new to the term, Android users have enjoyed Always On Display for years.
In fact, Apple has made use of the technology in the past. Every Apple Watch since the Apple Watch Series 5 has had the feature and we can now expect it to come to the upcoming iPhones as well. But what is Always-On Display and how does it work? Why did Apple not enable the feature all these years and most importantly, will older iPhones get the feature? Let’s find out.
What is Always-On Display and how does it work?
Always-On Display allows select pixels on your phone’s screen to light up when it is off, to alert you of elements like the time, incoming calls, notifications, etc. The feature was made popular on Android years ago by phones like the Motorola Moto X series. When AoD is enabled, the majority of your phone’s screen remains off, not using any power, while a small portion of the pixels light up to show you information. Since the pixels that are off, are truly off, the feature doesn’t take a huge impact on your battery, despite it being on all day.
Apple is bringing the feature to iPhones that have two key technical specifications in their display panels – OLED (organic light emitting diode) and LTPO (low temperature polycrystalline oxide)
Best of Express Premium
What are OLED panels?
The display panel on your smartphone is made up of many tiny pixels, however, it is how these pixels light up that differentiate between the two major types of screens in use on phones today – LCD panels and AMOLED/OLED panels.
LCD panels have backlights behind the screen that emits white light, and the backlight panel only works with the LCD panel because the liquid crystal panel cannot emit light. With OLED panels, each pixel is essentially, its own lighting source, using organic compounds to light up at various intensity levels depending on the current passed through it.
Due to this difference, OLED panels offer more minute customisation pixel-to-pixel. What does that mean? It basically means that every pixel in an OLED panel can be configured to be turned on or off, and even show any particular colour.
This allows manufacturers to implement Always-On Display on phones that do feature an OLED panel and these do offer controlled customisability of each individual pixel. The feature would be redundant on LCD displays because even if you want to show one single pixel in the middle of the screen “always on”, the entire backlight needs to be on the whole time, draining your battery very fast.
Apple didn’t make the switch to OLED panels until the iPhone X, which also featured a complete design change and the switch from TouchID to FaceID. However, it wasn’t until the iPhone 12 series that Apple made OLED mandatory across the series. The iPhone 11 series only had OLED panels on the Pro-models.
But now that OLED panels have come to all iPhones in the series for the last two generations, why don’t we still have Always-On display? The answer is Apple’s second requirement that we mentioned above – LTPO technology.
What are LTPO panels?
Putting an OLED panel alone on a phone should allow it to use Always-On Display (like so many Android phones out there). However, Apple likely wants to add AoD only to phones which feature both OLED and LTPO, yet another technology that helps save power.
An LTPO panel allows a display to precisely switch between very low and very high refresh rates based on the content on offer. Hence, when showing a stationary page on a website or your settings panel, an LTPO panel can drop the refresh rate way below the usual 60Hz (as low as 1Hz on the newer LTPO 2.0 panels), saving considerable battery.
Using LTPO panels in conjunction with OLED offers the lowest power consumption and therefore the least battery drain. This is because in addition to only selective pixels being on, LTPO allows the panel to drop its refresh rate as low as possible since you won’t virtually need anything above 1-10Hz to show the time and notifications.
Which iPhone models could we see get Always-On Display?
As we mentioned above, Apple is rumoured to bring Always-On Display only to phones which have both OLED + LTPO panels. The ‘Pro’ models of the iPhone 14 series are the top contenders for the feature but two of Apple’s current iPhones could also get AoD with an update in the future.
These are the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. The first iPhones to implement LTPO and OLED panels, last years iPhone 13 Pro-series phones offered the benefits of OLED displays like rich colours and deep blacks, as well as higher refresh rate up to 120Hz via Apple’s ProMotion feature. These two models should be able to get the feature with a future update.
However, other iPhone variants (including newer ones like the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13) are unlikely to get AoD support due to not featuring an LTPO panel, an OLED panel, or both.
We should have more information regarding Always-On Display and what devices it will support next week during WWDC 2022, where Apple is also expected to make the next iOS update official.

A team of experienced international and national mountain guides on Tuesday retrieved the black box of the Tara Air plane that crashed in Nepal’s mountainous Mustang district on Sunday, killing 22 people on board, including four Indians.
Chief District Officer Netra Prasad Sharma of Mustang said that rescuers on Tuesday also recovered the last body from the wreckage site of the plane.
According to Chief District Officer Sharma, the bodies of 10 people have already been sent to Kathmandu on Monday while the rest of the bodies have been shifted to Kobang from the crash site and are in the course of being airlifted to Kathmandu.
The black box of the turboprop Twin Otter 9N-AET plane was recovered from the crash site by a team of experienced international and national mountain guides, The Himalayan Times reported.
The black box will be transported to Kathmandu.

The Tara Air plane was found in a crashed state on Monday morning, 19 hours after it went missing amidst bad weather.
Due to the geographical remoteness and adverse weather conditions, the search and the recovery mission were delayed. The plane was found scattered at an altitude of 4,200 metres, a four-hour uphill hike from the centre of Thasang Village Municipality.
Nepal Army, Armed Police Force, Nepal Police, Sherpas and locals reached the crash site on Monday and collected the bodies of those who lost their lives in the accident.
Now it is confirmed that all 22 people, including four Indian nationals and three crew members, have been killed in the tragedy, officials said.
Tara Airlines has identified the four Indians as Ashok Kumar Tripathy, his wife Vaibhavi Bandekar (Tripathy) and their children Dhanush and Ritika. The family was based in Thane city near Mumbai.
The Canadian-built plane, flying from Pokhara to the popular tourist town Jomsom in central Nepal, was carrying four Indians, two Germans and 13 Nepali passengers, besides a three-member Nepali crew.
The government has formed a five-member commission of inquiry headed by senior aeronautical engineer Ratish Chandra Lal Suman to find out the cause of the Tara Air plane crash.

The election is scheduled to take place on 15 June.
In a press release sent out on Tuesday, the EC has instructed the DC and police super to investigate the incident, find out who have been spreading misinformation about the election on Facebook and submit a report within 24 hours.
Mojibul Haque Chowdhury made the statement during campaigning for the election at ward No. 1 in Banglabazar. In the video, Mojibul, in the local Chattogram dialect, told the voters through a handheld megaphone, “The government is carrying out the election here with EVMs. What could I do about it? You will have to kindly press a button to cast your the vote. If you can’t press it, I will keep people there who will press it for you. So, everyone please give me your blessings.”
He further said, “If there was no EVM, I wouldn’t depend on anyone else, I would’ve given the votes myself.”

The DUCSU leaders came up with this claim on Tuesday in a press briefing in the national press club.
Nagorik Oikko president and former DUSCU vice-president Mahmudur Rahman Manna read out the written statement in the press conference.
The release said Chhatra League attacked Chhatra Dal on DU campus on 24 and 26 May. But a case has been filed accusing 400 leaders and activists of Chhatra Dal, instead of adopting any action against the attacker, Chhatra League, who carried out violence at the directive of government higher-ups.
The DUCSU leaders said all campuses of the country are on the verge of ruinn. Along with student organisations and political parties, people from all social strata, including students, teachers, guardians and professionals, will have to build up resistance to protect the education system and the campuses.
Former DUCSU vice president ASM Abdur Rab, Amanullah Aman, Nurul Haque Nur, and general secretary Khairul Kabir Khokon and assistant general secretary Nazimuddin Alam were among those present at the event.

Motorists around the South Asian country are forced to spend hours or even days waiting for rationed fuel at gas stations.
The bicycle initiative was aimed at conserving petrol in the Colombo deep-sea container port, Sri Lanka Ports Authority chairman Prasantha Jayamanna said.
“We have built a cycle track along a disused railway line for those who come to the port to use cycles instead of other vehicles,” he told reporters.
The port in Sri Lanka’s capital sits on 469 hectares (1,160 acres) of land, with its longest road stretching four kilometres (2.5 miles) through the facility.
Shipping lines operating through the port -- located in the Indian Ocean, along the world’s busiest east-west maritime trade route -- donated 100 bikes to kick off the initiative, Jayamanna said.
Despite Tuesday’s announcement, Jayamanna said the port was “insulated from the economic troubles” plaguing Sri Lanka, and was offering petrol from its own reserves to dock workers who were struggling to source fuel elsewhere.
“We are carrying out our work as usual as we have our buffer stocks of fuel,” he added.
Sri Lanka’s economic crisis was sparked by a crunch on foreign currency reserves that also left importers unable to source food, fuel and other goods.
Rampant inflation, frequent blackouts and long queues for essentials have made life a misery for the island’s 22 million people.
The government is seeking urgent assistance from the International Monetary Fund and has also defaulted on Sri Lanka’s $51 billion foreign debt.
Weeks of public protests have called on President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to resign, with police firing tear gas to disperse a huge demonstration outside the leader’s home on Sunday.
Jayamanna said the crisis had not disrupted operations at the port, which generates much of its revenue in dollars and still plans to pay for a $500 million expansion.

The BCB, however, is leaving the decision up to Mominul as they have named him as the skipper for Bangladesh’s forthcoming tour to the West Indies. Mominul will sit in a meeting with BCB president Nazmul Hasan before the team leaves for the Caribbean islands. In that meeting, Mominul will say if he wants to continue as captain or let go of the leadership duty.
If he decided to quit the role, Shakib will be named captain in the red-ball format. The all-rounder has reportedly had preliminary talks with the board about returning as captain and has agreed to reprise the role.
If Mominul decides to carry on as captain, the West Indies tour will be the “lifeline” of his captaincy tenure. If Mominul performs well as a leader and a batsman, his captaincy would continue. Otherwise, the board is likely to take matters into their own hands and remove him from captaincy.
Mominul already had a discussion with the BCB president after the Sri Lanka series, where the left-handed batsman said that he feels the pressure of captaincy is taking a toll on his batting. After that meeting, the BCB sent the ball to Mominul’s court and told him to decide about his future as captain.
BCB cricket operations chairman Jalal Yunus also hinted the same to the reporters on Monday, “Captaincy is definitely an extra pressure (for Mominul). Maybe he is finding it difficult to inspire others when he himself is not scoring. Not scoring runs could also have a negative impact on him mentally. That could possibly affect his batting. He will decide what would be best for him.”
Mominul hasn’t managed to get into double figures in his last seven innings in Tests. In his last Test against Sri Lanka, which was played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, he made nine and 0. In his last 15 innings, he has managed to get into double figures only three times.
His Test batting average has been on a downward trajectory since he became the captain. As captain, in 17 Tests Mominul has scored only 912 runs at an average of 32.44. Under his leadership, Bangladesh has won three Tests, drawn two and lost 12.
Mominul is trying to return to form. Soon after the Sri Lanka series, Mominul returned to the training ground. On Monday, he had a 90-minute-long indoor net session supervised by BKSP’s cricket advisor and coach Nazmul Abedin Fahim.
After the session Fahim said, “We are working on some basic things. During bad phases, batsmen usually forget their basics. We are working on that.”
Mominul took over as captain from Shakib in 2019 after the all-rounder got banned for one year for keeping contacts with bookmakers. Mominul was made captain a day before Bangladesh was set to fly to India to play their second ever Test series against the Asian rivals.
Shakib has captained Bangladesh in 14 Tests, where the Tigers have won thrice and lost 11 times.
Shakib became Bangladesh’s captain for the first time in 2009 after skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza suffered an injury while bowling in a Test in West Indies. Shakib’s first tenure as captain ended in 2011.
His second tenure as captain began with a tour to the Caribbean islands in 2018. Now the all-rounder could become Bangladesh’s captain for the third time in the same place. But it all depends on what Mominul decides.

After a crisis meeting at the sports ministry on Monday, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin defiantly insisted that ticket scams and the behaviour of Liverpool fans was to blame.
“I am writing to you today out of utter disbelief that a minister of the French government... could make a series of unproven pronouncements on a matter of such significance before a proper, formal, independent investigation process has even taken place,” Werner wrote in his letter, leaked to the local Liverpool Echo newspaper.
“Your comments were irresponsible, unprofessional, and wholly disrespectful to the thousands of fans harmed physically and emotionally,” the Boston-based chairman added.
“On behalf of all the fans who experienced this nightmare I demand an apology from you, and assurance that the French Authorities and UEFA allow an independent and transparent investigation to proceed.”
European football’s governing body has announced that Portuguese politician Tiago Brandao Rodrigues will head up an independent probe.
The chaos inevitably brought back painful memories for Liverpool, a club haunted by the 1989 Hillsborough disaster which cost the lives of 97 people in a stadium crush.
Then, as at the weekend, police initially blamed ticketless fans but they were exonerated after a lengthy legal fight.
In his letter, Werner called the events in Paris “incredibly dangerous for all who attended” and urged against “a blame game strategy via press conference”.
“I have received countless emails from Liverpool supporters who were frightened to death, and subject to police harassment, pepper spray and tear gas,” he added.
Numbers contested
Darmanin said that there had been 30,000 to 40,000 Liverpool fans with counterfeit tickets or without tickets outside the Stade de France.
According to authorities, that contributed signficantly to the swelling of the crowd outside the gates to France’s national stadium, leading to huge, slow-moving queues and a massive bottleneck.
But the numbers put forward have been contested, including in France, where the head of a large supporters group, present at the stadium on Saturday, called them a “lie”.
“There were some supporters with fake tickets, but not thousands,” he told AFP.
“30-40,000 fake tickets, that seems very, very big,” said French politician Regis Juanico, a specialist in sports issues. “I’m waiting for the hearing of the two ministers Wednesday at the Senate to know more about it.”
The French government has faced a barrage of criticism from press and politicians in Britain over policing of the match, which saw thousands of Liverpool fans with tickets struggle to enter.
The scenes tarnished the image of the French capital, raising questions about its ability to host major sporting events as it gears up for the 2024 Olympics, as well as the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
All eyes will turn to the next match at the Stade de France on Friday, when France kick off the defence of their Nations League title at home to Denmark.
Paris transport unions called Tuesday for a new strike to coincide with that match, hailing the “success” of their action at the weekend that contributed to the disorder at the Champions League final.

Currently, 22 universities are under the general, science and technology cluster, three are under engineering and seven are under agricultural clusters.
At the end of the meeting Jashore University of Science and Technology Vice-Chancellor Professor Md Anwar Hossain said that the admission test of ‘A’ unit will be held on 30 July, ‘B’ unit on 31 August and ‘C’ unit on 20 August.
Meanwhile, Barisal University Vice-Chancellor Sadekul Arefin said that the fee for the admission test has been increased by Tk 300 this time compared to last time.
The fee for admission tests under cluster system is Tk 1,200.
Under the cluster system, if a student takes admission in one university and later migrates to another university the student needs to take a fresh admission.
The University Grants Commission on 7 April this year announced that 32 universities would join the cluster-based admission test for the 2021-2022 academic year.

A new study at the University of California - Los Angeles Health Sciences, claims that our brains record a group store of memories, instead of single memories. So, recollecting one significant memory could trigger an individual to recall others connected by time. Our brains gradually lose their ability to link related memories, as we age.
According to the report of ANI, UCLA researchers have discovered a key molecular mechanism behind memory linking. They’ve also identified a way to restore this brain function in middle-aged mice and an FDA-approved drug that achieves the same thing. Published in Nature, the findings suggest a new method for strengthening human memory in middle age and a possible early intervention for dementia. "Our memories are a huge part of who we are," explained Alcino Silva, a distinguished professor of neurobiology and psychiatry at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. "The ability to link related experiences teaches how to stay safe and operate successfully in the world." A bit of Biology 101: cells are studded with receptors. To enter a cell, a molecule must latch onto its matching receptor, which operates like a doorknob to provide access inside. The UCLA team focused on a gene called CCR5 that encodes the CCR5 receptor- the same one that HIV hitches a ride on to infect the brain cell and cause memory loss in AIDS patients. Silva’s lab demonstrated in earlier research that CCR5 expression reduced memory recall.
In the current study, Silva and his colleagues discovered a central mechanism underlying mice’s ability to link their memories of two different cages. A tiny microscope opened a window into the animals’ brains, enabling the scientists to observe neurons firing and creating new memories. Boosting CCR5 gene expression in the brains of middle-aged mice interfered with memory linking. The animals forgot the connection between the two cages. When the scientists deleted the CCR5 gene in the animals, the mice were able to link memories that normal mice could not. Silva had previously studied the drug, maraviroc, which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved in 2007 for the treatment of HIV infection. His lab discovered that maraviroc also suppressed CCR5 in the brains of mice. "When we gave maraviroc to older mice, the drug duplicated the effect of genetically deleting CCR5 from their DNA," said Silva, a member of the UCLA Brain Research Institute. "The older animals were able to link memories again."
The finding suggests that maraviroc could be used off-label to help restore middle-aged memory loss, as well as reverse the cognitive deficits caused by HIV infection. "Our next step will be to organize a clinical trial to test maraviroc’s influence on early memory loss with the goal of early intervention," said Silva. "Once we fully understand how memory declines, we possess the potential to slow down the process." Which begs the question: why does the brain need a gene that interferes with its ability to link memories? "Life would be impossible if we remembered everything," said Silva. "We suspect that CCR5 enables the brain to connect meaningful experiences by filtering out less significant details." The National Institute on Aging funded the research. UCLA postdoctoral researchers Yang Shen and Miou Zhou, now assistant professors at Western University, co-authored the study.

Chinese Tennis player Zheng Qinwen recently suffered a 6-7 6-0 6-2 loss at the hands of World number 1 Iga Swiatek at the French Open 2022 on Monday. The 19-year-old was utterly disappointing after bowing out in the fourth round of the French Open after suffering menstrual camps midway through her match.
Hoping to land a massive upset by pulling off a first set victory against the best Women's Tennis player in the world, Qinwen was left dejected after she bowed out of the French Open, because of menstrual cramps.
The Chinese teen lamented the fact that she suffered in pain and that she wished she could be 'a man on the court'.
"Yeah, the leg was also tough. That compared to the stomach was easy... I cannot play my tennis, (my) stomach was too painful," Zheng Qinwen told reporters after her match.
She further added, "It's just girls' things, you know. The first day is always so tough and then I have to do sport and I always have so much pain in the first day. And I couldn't go against my nature. I wish I can be a man on court, but I cannot in that moment... I really wish I can be (a) man (so) that I don't have to suffer from this.
Born in China's Wuhan, the 19-year-old has won 8 singles titles in ITF circuit finals, while she also have five ITF junior circuit titles under her belt. Having a world ranking of 70 at the moment, Qinwen has been extremely impressive from an early age.

She made her Grand Slam debut at the Australian Open earlier this year, and from them on, there has been no looking back.
The teenage sensation stated that she liked the experience of playing against the world no.1 even though she could not play with all of her intensity because of the menstrual camps.
"If I talk about today, I'm happy with my performance (on) this run. And to play against the number one in the world, I felt I really enjoyed (it) on the court," said Zheng Qinwen.
