NBA-Curry leads Warriors past Celtics to level Finals series
"Just stunning," he said. "This is the strongest physically he's ever been in his career, and it's allowing him to do what he's doing." Thompson said it was Curry's best Finals performance ever. "This was nearly a must-win game, and to go out there and shoot as efficiently as he did, and grab 10 rebounds and they were attacking him on defense?" he said.
Stephen Curry erupted for 43 points as the Golden State Warriors beat the Boston Celtics 107-97 on Friday to even the best-of-seven Finals series 2-2. Curry, who was questionable to even play after he injured his foot in Wednesday's Game Three, put the team on his back to secure the gritty win in front of a hostile crowd at TD Garden in Boston.
"We knew how big this game was," Curry said. "I just thank God that I avoided significant injury. And for us to come out and do what we did and go home? That five-and-a-half hour flight home just got a little bit better."
Curry put the game on ice with his seventh three pointer, which gave the Warriors a six-point cushion with less than two minutes to go in the back-and-forth contest. Andrew Wiggins provided crucial support for Curry, scoring 17 points and grabbing a career-high 16 rebounds while playing excellent defense.
The Celtics got off to a solid start and held a six point lead at halftime thanks to the aggressive play of Jaylen Brown and poor shooting by the visitors. But the Boston offense got stagnant late in the fourth to open the door for Golden State, who took a 95-94 lead on a straightaway three pointer by Klay Thompson.
The Warriors would not trail again as they improved to 6-0 after a loss in the playoffs. Curry's brilliance helped cover for subpar play from some of his supporting cast.
"He wasn't letting us lose, that's what it boils down to," said Draymond Green, who is aiming to win his fourth championships with Curry and Thompson. "I could tell in his demeanor the last couple days that he was going to come out with that type of fire. And he did, and we were all able to follow it."
Warriors coach Steve Kerr said he was awestruck by Curry's performance. "Just stunning," he said.
"This is the strongest physically he's ever been in his career, and it's allowing him to do what he's doing." Thompson said it was Curry's best Finals performance ever.
"This was nearly a must-win game, and to go out there and shoot as efficiently as he did, and grab 10 rebounds and they were attacking him on defense?" he said. "His conditioning is second-to-none in this league."
In the previous 30 instances when a Finals has been tied 2-2, the team that wins Game Five has gone on to win the series 73% of the time (22-8). Kerr said the series will only get more intense as it shifts back to San Francisco for Game Five on Monday.
"I would expect both teams to bring every ounce of energy and emotion the rest of the way," he said.

Babar Azam praises Mohammad Nawaz for 'outstanding' bowling against West Indies
Babar Azam heaped praise on Mohammad Nawaz for his 'outstanding' bowling as Pakistan seal an unbeatable 2-0 lead against West Indies in their three-match ODI series.
- Country:
- Pakistan
Pakistan skipper Babar Azam heaped praise on Mohammad Nawaz for his 'outstanding' bowling which guided the team to a massive 120 runs victory against West Indies in the second ODI in Multan on Friday. Mohammad Nawaz's four-wicket haul and skipper Babar Azam's 77-run knock helped Pakistan in defeating West Indies by 120 runs in Multan on Friday.
With the win, Pakistan claimed an unassailable 2-0 lead over West Indies in their three-match ODI series. Nawaz sent back West Indies' power hitters Shamarh Brooks, Brandon King, captain Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell cheaply.
"Nawaz was outstanding, he picked wickets at crucial moments. We were under pressure after the first 10 but really happy with the way we fought back," Babar Azam said in a post-match presentation. During the second ODI Babar Azam reached another massive feat in men's international cricket history as he became the first batter to score nine consecutive half-centuries in all three formats of cricket.
Pakistan skipper scored 77 off 93 balls in the second ODI match against West Indies and added yet another fifty-plus score to his name to enter the record books for a massive batting record. "The wicket was double paced, our plan was to build partnerships. The ball was spinning as well. We were 10-15 short because we lost back-to-back wickets. We wanted to save Khushdil for the end that's why we sent him later. We were confident at the break that we could defend this," he added.
Talking about the match, Pakistan put a total of 275/8 all thanks to Babar (77) and Imam-ul-Haq (72), as well as the lower-middle order who hammered the visitors all around the ground. Pakistan's bowling attack led by Mohammad Nawaz's four-wicket haul restricted West Indies to merely 155 runs in the run-chase, as Pakistan clinch a secure 2-0 lead in the three-match series. (ANI)

Viswanathan Anand defeats Aryan Tari in final round to clinch third place in Norway Chess tournament
Legendary chess player Viswanathan Anand finished in third position in the Norway Chess tournament.
- Country:
- Norway
Indian Grandmaster Viswanathan Anand defeated Norway's Aryan Tari in the ninth and final round of the Classical section to clinch the third place in Norway Chess tournament on Saturday.Anand won the Armageddon round against Norwegian after the classical match ended in a 22-move draw. The 52-year-old Indian chess legend had to work hard against a 23-year-old in the sudden death tie-break as he required 87 moves to secure the triumph on Saturday.
Anand finished with 14.5 points to end his tournament campaign in third place behind Carlsen (16.5 points) and Azerbaijan's Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (15.5). World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen won his fifth Norway Chess tournament title after a nerve-wracking final day of the 2022 event. Carlsen was able to secure the title despite not being at his best and suffering defeats to compatriot Tari and Anand.
Anand had begun the Classical section with three consecutive victories, defeating Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (France), Veselin Topalov (Bulgaria), and Hao Wang (China) before American Wesley So ended his winning streak in the fourth round. He then pulled off an impressive win over World No. 1 Carlsen. (ANI)

Soccer-Southgate 'will not outstay welcome' as England manager
Gareth Southgate said he "will not outstay" his welcome as England manager following criticism of his side's winless start to their UEFA Nations League campaign. They face Italy on Friday, who are top with four points. Southgate, who led England to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and the Euro 2020 final in 2021, signed a new contract through to the end of 2024 in November last year.
Gareth Southgate said he "will not outstay" his welcome as England manager following criticism of his side's winless start to their UEFA Nations League campaign. England is at the bottom of League A Group 3 in the Nations League with one point after losing 1-0 to Hungary and drawing 1-1 with Germany. They face Italy on Friday, who are top with four points.
Southgate, who led England to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and the Euro 2020 final in 2021, signed a new contract through to the end of 2024 in November last year. "I won't outstay my welcome but I think I can do a good job for the team, and I think we have done a good job for the team," Southgate told reporters.
"If you look back I have always said it. I am not going to be here forever, am I? There will be another England manager. "The major part of that is how the players are. Do I still feel the players give everything and respond to what we do? Yes, I do."
Southgate has often been criticized for being too cautious, with pundits and fans urging him to play Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold and Manchester City's Jack Grealish more often. "... I hear about conservatism, but we were the highest scorers in Europe last year," said Southgate, referring to England's 39-goal haul in the World Cup qualifiers, their highest tally in a qualifying campaign.
"I am always going to have those situations where people disagree with the selection. That noise over the last two or three years does seem extremely loud and I've had to ride that and get on with it through the Euros and the whole of last summer." Following their game against Italy later on Friday, England will host Hungary on June 15.

Test of Pant's captaincy as India plot comeback versus Proteas
At Kotla, the leggie bowled only two full overs.As for Pandya, fresh after his historic success with GT, continued from where he left in the IPL.Pandya, who last played for India in November last year in the 2021 T20 World Cup, dazzled with the bat with a 31 not out from 12 balls to prop the total past 200.But he failed to impress with the bowl and leaked 18 runs in his only over.
- Country:
- India
Accidental captain Rishabh Pant will expect an improved showing from the India bowlers as he plots a comeback against a marauding South Africa in the second T20 of the five-match series here on Sunday.
Leading India for the first time ever, Pant had to swallow a bitter pill when David Miller and Rassie van der Dussen shot down an imposing 212 with utmost nonchalance to go up 1-0 in the series.
The southpaw also had a forgettable Indian Premier League where he failed to lead Delhi Capitals to the playoffs.
Seen as a future white-ball captain, Pant's stakes have suddenly come down post-IPL and that has coincided with the resurgence of Hardik Pandya.
Returning to full fitness, the pace bowling all-rounder took the IPL by storm not only by his form but by pulling off a coup as he led Gujarat Titans to the title in their debut season.
Amid the growing chorus of 'Hardik Pandya -- the next white-ball captain of India', Pant will be under scrutiny again as he masterminds a comeback.
It may still be early days for Pant the leader, but his body language never stood out and he looked under pressure on his captaincy debut. He also made a debatable decision to underbowl the IPL Purple Cap winner Yuzvendra Chahal, fresh from claiming 27 wickets for runners-up Rajasthan Royals. At Kotla, the leggie bowled only two full overs.
As for Pandya, fresh after his historic success with GT, continued from where he left in the IPL.
Pandya, who last played for India in November last year in the 2021 T20 World Cup, dazzled with the bat with a 31 not out from 12 balls to prop the total past 200.
But he failed to impress with the bowl and leaked 18 runs in his only over. The big headache for Pant would be the bowling department where he would have to make a call between Arshdeep Singh and pace gun Umran Malik.
While the batting looks in perfect shape, the new-look pace department looked flat in the series opener.
Seniormost Bhuvneshwar Kumar did not look the same and leaked runs in the death overs, while Harshal Patel too was taken to cleaners.
Youngster Avesh Khan too failed to impress though he was the most economical among the trio.
With the duo of Arshdeep and Malik trying hard to impress at the nets with their pace and accuracy it is likely that one among the duo may be well set for a debut on Saturday.
It would not be an easy task as another slip-up would mean the Pant-led side would have the difficult task of winning three in a row.
Fresh from their individual players' success in the IPL, the Proteas are finding themselves at 'home'.
In the form of his life, Miller who scored 481 runs at 68.71 in the IPL to play a key role in GT's triumph, has started in ominous fashion and looked unstoppable both against spin and pace at Kotla.
Quinton de Kock failed to convert his start but the Lucknow Super Giants batter also scored a bagful of runs (508) in the IPL and he would look to make it count here.
With Van der Dussen also striking it rich, the trio will form the batting backbone, while the likes of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje would look to stop the Indians.
Teams (from) India: Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, Deepak Hooda, Shreyas Iyer,Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Venkatesh Iyer, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik.
South Africa: Temba Bavuma (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Wayne Parnell, Dwaine Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Tristan Stubbs, Rassie van der Dussen, Marco Jansen.
Match starts at 7pm IST.

NBA-Curry's iconic performance leaves Warriors teammates stunned
"Probably number one," Klay Thompson said when asked to rank Curry's performance in a Finals game. "It was nearly a must-win game, so to go out there and shoot as efficiently as he did and grab 10 rebounds all while they are attacking him on defense?
Stephen Curry's 43-point masterpiece in Game Four of the NBA Finals on Friday left his Warriors teammates, his coaches and basketball fans everywhere in awe.
With Golden State in jeopardy of falling into a 3-1 hole against the Celtics in Boston, Curry was magnificent, shooting 14 of 26 from the field with seven three pointers while collecting 10 rebounds to level the series 2-2. "Probably number one," Klay Thompson said when asked to rank Curry's performance in a Finals game.
"It was nearly a must-win game, so to go out there and shoot as efficiently as he did and grab 10 rebounds all while they are attacking him on defense? His conditioning is second to none in this league. "Steph played incredible."
Forward Draymond Green echoed Thompson. "He put us on his back and willed us to win," he said.
"Much-needed win, a game we had to have, and he came out and showed why he's one of the best players to ever play this game and why this organization has been able to ride him to so much success. "It's absolutely incredible."
Four-time NBA champion LeBron James weighed in to say that Curry was "different" from other players and that he still does not get the respect he is due. "It's rare and rare is not liked and appreciated," James tweeted.
After the game, Curry redirected praise onto his teammates. "I don't rank my performances," Curry said. "Just win the game."
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, who hopes to lead the franchise to its fourth championship in eight years alongside Curry, Thompson and Green, said he felt blessed. "Whenever I'm done coaching, I will look back and say thank you to Steph because night after night he has made this situation for us as an organization easy for everybody," Kerr said.
"He's a special player, special person."

Defender Gurmukh Singh has been roped in by Indian Super League outfit Chennaiyin FC on a two-year contract after his impressive show for Rajasthan United FC in the I-League.
''Since I started playing football, playing in the ISL has always been my dream and today with God's grace that has turned into reality. I am thankful to Chennaiyin FC for placing their trust in me,'' said Singh in a release.
The Jalandhar-born footballer was a vital cog for Rajasthan as they emerged champions in the second division of I-League in 2021.
In his debut I-League season last year, Singh spent 900 minutes on the pitch in 10 games. He also featured in six championship stage matches for them.
A product of East Bengal's youth academy, Singh is the second defender to join the Marina Machans this summer after Monotosh Chakladar, who was signed by the club last week.

A 32-year-old engineer working with an IT company in Pune was arrested after he allegedly murdered his wife on Thursday following a quarrel over his liquor consumption, the police said.
The police identified the assailant as Shivam Pankaj Pachauri alias Bhardwaj, a native of Uttar Pradesh, who currently resides in an apartment in Hinjewadi. Officers said his deceased wife, Avantika (30), also worked with an IT company in the Hinjewadi area.
An FIR was registered in this regard after Avantika’s father Ranjankumar Sharma (62) from Uttar Pradesh complained at the Hinjewadi police station on Friday. A police sub-inspector said, “The accused Shivam and his wife Avantika shifted to Pune from Uttar Pradesh about two years ago. Both are engineers.”
“They got married about five years ago and have a three-year-old daughter. On the night of June 9, the accused came home after consuming liquor. This led to a quarrel between the couple. The accused got angry and thrashed his wife so badly that she died in the incident. Their child was home when the incident took place around 10.30 pm,” the sub-inspector added. Further investigation is on, the police said.

The Nushrratt Bharuccha-starrer Janhit Mein Jaari, a film about a woman who takes up the challenging job of selling condoms in a small town in Madhya Pradesh, released in theatres on June 10. While the film opened to mixed reviews, it has not been able to pull the audiences to cinema halls, and is poised to be one of the biggest flops of the year.
The film has taken a dismal opening at the box office across India. Early estimates suggest that the social comedy opened in the range of Rs 20 to Rs 30 lakh on day one. The official numbers shared by the film’s team state that the movie attracted approximately 50,000 viewers into theatres on the first day. The worldwide collections stand at Rs 56.70 lakh (gross).
According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, the film opened quite poorly across the nation, and just like Akshay Kumar’s Samrat Prithviraj the week before, suffered the cancellation of multiple shows due to a poor footfall. Some shows reportedly attracted audiences in the single digits. Nushrratt’s film is also facing stiff competition from Jurassic World Dominion, which seems to be a favourite among moviegoers, and has made Rs 8 crore so far.
Trade experts predict that the opening weekend of Janhit Mein Jaari will be around a crore, with lifetime total under Rs 2 crore.

In her review of the film, Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta wrote, “What makes this film, at least its first half, such good fun is the writing. It’s light and funny, and the characters do their job well, as we see the Bollywood small town (clearly, Chanderi in MP is the new ‘It’ town) in throes of a ‘sasur-bahu’ saga. Manokamna’s parents’ home is dubbed Condom Niwas, the father-in-law goes blue in the face when he discovers the true nature of his ‘kamaau bahu’s (earning daughter-in-law) job, the husband is more a dutiful son than a supportive husband, and barbs fly thick and fast,” giving the film two and a half star rating.

The allegations raised by gold smuggling case accused Swapna Suresh against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and others got murkier with the release of an audio clip on Friday in which a journalist-cum-real estate dealer named Shaj Kiran is heard saying that Vijayan’s and CPI(M) state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan’s funds are being sent to the US through Believers’ Church, a church founded by Kerala-based Christian evangelist K P Yohannan.
As the controversy rattled Kerala, the state government removed Additional Director General of Police M R Ajith Kumar as head of the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) after it was found that he was in constant touch with Kiran. Suresh had alleged that Kiran was forcing her to withdraw her statement to a Kochi court in a money laundering case, saying that he had spoken to top IPS officers in the state to settle the issue.
Suresh, who is back in the limelight after she accused the chief minister earlier this week of taking a bag full of currency to the UAE in 2016, released the clip in Palakkad. Suresh had named Vijayan’s wife Kamala and their daughter Veena and alleged that they too were involved in the smuggling.
Suresh said that she was facing a threat to her life and alleged that Kiran exerted pressure on her to retract her allegations against Vijayan and others. Kiran allegedly claimed that he was in touch with ADGP Kumar and ADGP (Law and Order) Vijay Sakhare to settle the issue. Although Sakhare denied his involvement, Kumar was silent over the matter.
Best of Express Premium
After Suresh made the allegations against Vijayan and others, the VACB had forcibly taken away P S Sarith, her co-accused in the smuggling case, from his residence in Palakkad. The VACB action was in connection with a probe into a corruption case related to a housing project implemented with aid from Red Crescent, UAE.
According to Suresh, Kiran was aware of the vigilance bureau’s plan to take Sarith into custody a day earlier, indicating that he was in touch with vigilance officials. Kiran also allegedly gave an assurance to Suresh that she would not be arrested till Thursday noon (June 9) in connection with the criminal case registered against her following her defamatory comments against Vijayan and others.
The audio clip released on Friday is of a conversation between Suresh and Kiran after the police registered the case against her. Kiran is heard saying in the clip that “Vijayan is the wealthiest man in Kerala. From Kerala, the funds of Vijayan and Balakrishnan have been taken out to the US through the Believers Church”. Believers Church has denied the allegations and said they only know Kiran as a journalist.
Kiran, who has worked with various news channels in Kerala, did not deny the audio clip, but claimed that it was edited.
In another part of the conversation, Kiran is heard rebuking Suresh for naming Veena in the scandal. “Was there any situation that necessitated speaking against Veena,” he asks. Kiran is also heard advising Suresh to surrender after taking money from those affected by her revelations.
Both Congress and BJP sought Vijayan’s resignation, a demand rejected by the CPI(M). Opposition leader V D Satheesan said the government should reveal if Kiran was a middleman sent by the police. “Vijayan should quit the post. Central agencies are not probing Suresh’s allegations because of the deal between BJP and CPI(M),” he alleged.
BJP state president K Surendran said Vijayan should quit and face a probe. “Does Vijayan have the guts to arrest Kiran who has alleged that Vijayan has investments in the US?” he said.
However, CPI(M) state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said there was a political agenda behind the allegations. “There is a concerted attempt to attack the chief minister and his family. There is no consistency in Suresh’s statement. I have never met Suresh and Kiran. If the opposition wants to create a riot in the state over the allegations, the government will face it by marshalling the people,’’ he said.

To present something different and new to Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he visits Pune on June 14 to inaugurate Jagatguru Sant Tukaram Maharaj idol, Shila Mandir at Dehu Road, Girish Murudkar and his artisans have designed a ‘designer Tukaram pagdi’ and Uparne or shawl. “Ever since the news of PM Modi coming to Dehu for the first time came to us, our team of artisans have been wanting to do something special for him yet again as we have previously too designed for him,” said Murudkar, whose Murudkar Zendewale and Phetewale, is famed for its three-decade-long traditional turbans and flags.
Sant Tukaram is a 17th-century saint who was born in Dehu and is renowned for his devotional poetry called Abhanga, and community worship with spiritual songs known as kirtans.

The pagdi has been made using 10-metre silk cloth and has been decorated with Tulsi beads as mentioned in the Warkari heritage. The heritage also places significance on black tilak and chandan. The beads have been placed in such a way that it resembles a tilak and chandan on the forehead when the pagdi is worn, Murudkar told indianexpress.com.

“The shawl has been made using Karwat kati uparna silk and has been designed using Tulsi beads and silk threads. Sant Tukaram’s abhanga or spiritual poetry has been handwritten like in the olden times on two sides — one in Marathi and the other side in Hindi,” informed Murudkar.
Interestingly, the turban and shawl will be put in a transparent case along with chipalya, a traditional musical instrument played by Warkaris, when it is gifted to him.
The pagdi is wrapped just like how Sant Tukaram used to wear it, said Murudkar.
Apart from the decorations, the gift would also comprise of saints Tukaram and Gyaneshwar idols on the left and right-hand side of the pagdi, along with a picture of Lord Vithoba, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
“From PM Modi to the youth, we want to show the power of Sant Tukaram Ji’s words and how they are still relevant in today’s times. That’s why those words are indestructible,” explained Murudkar.

Gareth Southgate said he “will not outstay” his welcome as England manager following criticism of his side’s winless start to their UEFA Nations League campaign.
England are at the bottom of League A Group 3 in the Nations League with one point after losing 1-0 to Hungary and drawing 1-1 with Germany. They face Italy on Friday, who are top with four points.
Southgate, who led England to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and the Euro 2020 final in 2021, signed a new contract through to the end of 2024 in November last year.
“I won’t outstay my welcome but I think I can do a good job for the team, and I think we have done a good job for the team,” Southgate told reporters.
Best of Express Premium
“If you look back I have always said it. I am not going to be here forever am I? There will be another England manager.
“The major part of that is how the players are. Do I still feel the players give everything and respond to what we do? Yes I do.”
Southgate has often been criticised for being too cautious, with pundits and fans urging him to play Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold and Manchester City’s Jack Grealish more often.
“… I hear about conservatism, but we were the highest scorers in Europe last year,” said Southgate, referring to England’s 39-goal haul in the World Cup qualifiers, their highest tally in a qualifying campaign.
“I am always going to have those situations where people disagree with the selection. That noise over the last two or three years does seem extremely loud and I’ve had to ride that and get on with it through the Euros and the whole of last summer.”
Following their game against Italy later on Friday, England will host Hungary on June 15.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov recently took to the platform to announce the future of Telegram and the release of a paid, subscription service called Telegram Premium. The premium version of the popular messaging service will be rolling out later this month, Durov said, adding that it will help Telegram be funded “primarily by its users, not advertisers.”
The feature-packed instant messaging app that also allows users to make voice and video calls, send across large files along with many other abilities will continue to be free for regular users, Durov added, stating that only power users who need more features and larger capacities will have to invest in Telegram Premium.
“Not to worry though: all existing features remain free, and there are plenty of new free features coming. Moreover, even users who don’t subscribe to Telegram Premium will be able to enjoy some of its benefits: for example, they will be able to view extra-large documents, media and stickers sent by Premium users, or tap to add Premium reactions already pinned to a message to react in the same way,” Durov said in the blog post.
Telegram was launched in 2013 and has been free for all its users for the last nine years, but Durov suggests that bringing more features and abilities to Telegram for all users would make the platform’s server and traffic costs “unmanageable”.
Best of Express Premium
While we still don’t know what are the exact perks that Telegram Premium will offer over the regular app, Durov does mention the subscription plan to be one that “allows anyone to acquire additional features, speed and resources.” Previous reports have suggested that the subscription will include exclusive animated stickers, emojis and a larger file-sharing limit. Telegram Premium users will also be the first to receive new features coming to the platform.

Premium features like sending extra-large documents, media and stickers will only be available to paid subscribers, but even non-Premium users will be able to access these documents, media and stickers if they’re sent the same by a Premium user.
We should know more details about Telegram Premium, including pricing, when the subscription service launches later this month.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s advisor said that the Ukrainian army had lost up to 10,000 fighters in the first 100 days of the war. Oleksiy Arestovych, in a social media interview, estimated the Russian army is losing on average five to six times as many fighters as the Ukrainian side. When asked whether this suggested the Ukrainian army had lost up to 10,000 fighters in the first 100 days of the war, Arestovych said, “Yes, something like that.”
Meanwhile, Ukraine is pleading to Western countries for faster deliveries of weapons as better-armed Russian forces pounded the east of the country, and for humanitarian support to combat growing outbreaks of deadly diseases. “This is an artillery war now,” Vadym Skibitsky, Ukraine’s deputy head of military intelligence, told Britain’s Guardian newspaper. “Everything now depends on what (the West) gives us. Ukraine has one artillery piece to 10 to 15 Russian artillery pieces.”
In Sievierodonetsk, the small city that has become the focus of Russia’s advance in eastern Ukraine and one of the bloodiest flashpoints in a war well into its fourth month, further heavy fighting was reported. To the south, the mayor of Mariupol said sanitation systems were broken and corpses were rotting in the streets.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia was trying to "break every town in the Donbas."
"Sievierodonetsk, Lysychansk, Bakhmut, Sloviansk, many, many others," he said in his nightly address. "All these ruins were once happy towns." Both sides say they have inflicted mass casualties.

Russia hopes to capture all of the eastern province of Luhansk, which it demands Ukraine cede to separatists along with neighbouring Donetsk. The two provinces make up the Donbas region, where Moscow has backed a revolt by separatist proxies since 2014. To that end, the Kremlin has concentrated its forces into a battle for Sievierodonetsk, which is in Luhansk.

Ukrainian troops have largely pulled out of the city's residential areas but have not yielded their foothold on the east bank of the Siverskiy Donets River. Russian forces are also pushing from the north and south to try to encircle the Ukrainians, but have made limited progress.
Ukraine's army command said on Saturday that Russia troops had secured positions in two communities near Sievierodonetsk, while Serhiy Gaidai, the Luhansk governor, said Russians were in control of “most” of the city. Gaidai said the main road from Bakhmut to Lysychansk/Sievierodonetsk was being constantly shelled but there had been no changes in positions.
Ukraine pleaded to Western countries for faster deliveries of weapons as better-armed Russian forces pounded the east of the country.
The war in the east, where Russia is focussing its attention, is now primarily an artillery battle in which Kyiv is severely outgunned, Ukrainian officials say. That means the tide of events could be turned only if Washington and others fulfil promises to send more and better weaponry, including rocket systems.
In the #Donbas alone, #Ukraine is firing ~6,000 artillery shells per day -- "we are losing in terms of artillery... Everything now depends on what [the west] gives us."

Germany, among the largest suppliers of weapons since Russia invaded but criticised for being slow to supply the heavy weaponry Kyiv says it needs, plans to revise its rules on arms exports to make it easier to arm democracies like Ukraine, Der Spiegel reported on Friday.

Utility companies are feeling the pressure of a taxing few months for the American power grid.
The Midcontinent Independent System Operator has said energy capacities for parts of the Midwest, including Illinois, will fall short this summer. Clair Moller, the system operator's president and CEO, said that means those parts of the country face an increased risk of controlled outages during peak seasonal conditions.
According to an assessment published by the North American Electric Reliability Co., this shortfall stems from higher-than-normal temperatures expected this summer and worsening drought conditions in the western half of the United States and Canada.
These conditions create a higher demand for electricity and affect the reliability of hydroelectric and thermal power sources.
Illinois Electric Cooperative General Manager Randy Long said the crunch also is a result of the early transition from fossil fuel plants to renewable energy. Some 7,000 megawatts of energy has been retired since 2009 in Illinois, with another 7,000 scheduled to go offline by 2028, Long said, noting the conversion is happening faster than technology can keep up.
“Here at the co-op, we support that transition to renewable energy,” he said. “But we just caution that is has to be done in a reasonable way.”
Despite the grim portent, many say Illinois can handle the strain.
Jim Chilsen, communication director for the Chicago-based non-profit Citizens Utility Board, said the possibility of blackouts and brownouts seems to be “relatively low” this summer.
Long agreed there probably is enough power generation to get people through the summer during normal conditions, adding that any rolling blackouts were to happen, they'd probably last hours rather than days.
An Ameren Illinois representative said in a statement that the company “is confident that our delivery system is stable and reliable and that the power will be there when it is needed this summer.”
The spokesperson said the company has created “load reduction plans” based on summer projections. Those plans would momentarily interrupt service for some customers to reduce the strain on the grid, if needed, while avoiding “critical customers” such as medical facilities.
While he believes the risk of outages is low, it “doesn’t take away from the urgency … that we have problems to deal with in central and southern Illinois,” Chilsen said.
Chilsen recommended people practice energy efficiency, both to prepare for the possibility of an outage and to keep bills lower amid Ameren’s price hike.
Buying a generator is not a bad idea for those truly concerned about their power going out, Long said. He also encouraged Illinois Electric customers to sign up for the cooperative’s text messaging system so they can be informed if a rolling blackout were to happen. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Ameren-confident-it-can-deliver-17228025.php | 2022-06-11T07:17:53 | en | 0.96342 |

BEARDSTOWN — Fire destroyed a garage and the screened-in porch of the connecting house Thursday.
Firefighters were called to 804 E. 15th St. about 5 p.m. and arrived to find the garage fully engulfed. Chief Brandon Hager said flames were spreading to the adjoining house.
"The fire spread into the roof of the porch, so there is some damage to the house structure itself," Hager said.
The cause of the fire is undetermined, but is not suspicious. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Beardstown-fire-destroys-garages-damages-home-17233901.php | 2022-06-11T07:18:05 | en | 0.985795 |
The aviation watchdog has told airports to address “unacceptable” failings affecting disabled people and warned it could use legal enforcement powers if they continue. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said it had seen an increase in reports of “significant service failings”, including incidents where passengers needing assistance have been taken off a plane hours after other passengers.
In a letter, group director of consumers and markets Paul Smith said the incidents were unacceptable and distressing for those involved. “It is also self-evident that those with less mobility will find it more difficult to access support at airports when things go wrong, as compared to a passenger who might be able to seek out airport staff to assist with baggage delays, for example,” he added.
The authority believes these incidents could have been avoided by better management of assistance service function, despite the current travel disruptions. The CAA will ask all airports with a high number of passengers using assistance services to set out what additional measures they have taken to address the issue by June 21.
“We will continue to closely monitor the quality of service provided and if these significant service failures continue, we will consider whether further action is needed, including using enforcement powers,” he said. It comes after a woman who is paralysed from the neck down was left stranded on a plane for more than 90 minutes last week when airport staff failed to arrive to provide assistance.
Victoria Brignell, from Shepherd’s Bush, west London, was returning home on Saturday following a holiday in Malta through Gatwick Airport, West Sussex. Ms Brignell explained: “Shortly after landing the BA airline staff came up to me and said they’re sorry but the people who are meant to help get me off the plane would not be there for 50 minutes.
“Time passed and I was then told it would be another half an hour on top of that. In the end I was waiting an hour and 35 minutes.
“I am paralysed from the neck down so I can’t use my arms or legs. To get off a plane I need two people to lift me from the airplane seat into an aisle chair, which is a specially designed narrow wheelchair to push me along the aisle off the plane, and lift me into my wheelchair waiting outside.”

Jacksonville Sunrise Rotary Club
On a partly cloudy and breezy early summer day, 10 Rotarians and one visitor gathered in the Holiday Inn Express meeting room.
Those attending were President Jane Becker, Don Pigg, Sonie Smith, Linda Meece, Cindy Boehlke, Pat Pennell, Brittany Nickel, Sarah Edmiston, Gordon Jumper and Jay Jamison. Pam Martin, an executive director of the Jacksonville Memorial Hospital Foundation, joined us a bit later.
The Polio Plus jar was passed and news was exchanged while everyone enjoyed the breeze from the box fan. Then the chatter subsided to an expectant silence until President Jane rang the May 31 meeting open at 7:02 a.m. Brittany led the Pledge of Allegiance, Jay led in reciting the Four-Way Test, and Pat gave the invocation. Rotations were made by Pat, Jay, Don and Jane. Then Jane went out with a bang on her last day for Recognitions, providing everyone (even our guest) multiple opportunities to contribute to the scholarship fund.
Jane announced the Troop-on coupon totals: more than $25,000 in savings for food, more than $23,000 in baby items savings, and more than $400,000 in savings in nonfood items. With the help of the public donating manufacturers coupons, our Rotary club could top $500,000 in savings sent to the troops by the end of the Rotary year on July 1.
Don agreed to stand in as president-elect for the 2022-2023 Rotary year.
Finally, Pam strode to the podium and gave an excellent program on the benefits that the foundation has for the community. We learned how the staff of Jacksonville Memorial Hospital adapted to COVID-19 needs, how the foundation is supported, what the foundation is used for, and more. Grants include nurse education — first at MacMurray and then at Illinois College and other local colleges — equipment at the hospital and volunteer support. After answering several questions, Pam received a hearty round of applause.
President Jane Becker rang the meeting to a close at 7:55 a.m. and everyone made their way out to enjoy the sunshine and the rest of their day.
The next Jacksonville Sunrise Rotary meeting is June 7 in the Holiday Inn Express meeting room. All guests and visiting Rotarians are welcome.

Jacksonville Sunrise Rotary Club
It was a pleasant June morning, yet cloudy enough that seven Rotarians and one visitor traveled by streetlight to the Holiday Inn Express meeting room on June7. Those in attendance were Jane Becker, Sarah Edmiston, Don Pigg, Sonie Smith, Linda Meece, Brittany Nickel, Pat Pennell and guest Ann Becker. There was chatter and exchanging of news while passing the unbreakable Polio Jar.
At 7 a.m. President Jane rang the meeting to order. Ann led the Pledge of Allegiance, Linda led in reciting the Four-Way Test, and Pat gave the invocation. Rotations were made by Sarah Edmiston, Jane and Sonie. Brittany did an outstanding job of including everyone (including our guest) with Recognitions. There were many donations to the scholarship fund that day. We learned that a former member, Ella Scaggs, has applied for membership. It was moved to accept and the vote was unanimous.
Next, Ann, the daughter of our president, took over the podium and gave the club an update on her college career. She will start her junior year in the fall at Oklahoma State. She changed her major from ag business to hospitality tourism, which meant she had a heavy class load during the spring. Some of these classes helped her with her caramel business. She joined a sorority during her freshman year and that helped her through the COVID-19-related changes. Ann is excited about the prospects of her new major and described her ideas for her future career. After answering several questions, Ann accepted her scholarship from President Jane and pictures were taken.
President Jane rang the meeting to a close at 7:23 a.m. The next Sunrise Rotary meeting is at 7 a.m. on Flag Day in the Holiday Inn Express meeting room. All guests and visiting Rotarians are welcome.

Many counties in west-central Illinois are starting to see registrations for electric vehicles, with 23 electric vehicles in Morgan County.
According to Illinois Secretary of State's Office, each county has a handful of vehicles registered.
Adam Grojean, the owner of an electric vehicle, said he is starting to see more and more electric vehicles in the area.
"I've had my Tesla for just over a year and there weren't very many in the area," Grojean said. "Now I see several in town."
Grojean has a Tesla, which he charges at home and his office on West State Street.
While Grojean said the car is hard on tires because of its weight, there are many more pros than cons.
"I don't have to go out of my way to find a gas station," Grojean said. "Then I don't have the cost of having to pay for gas or oil changes."
He said in the first year, he put about 35,000 miles on his Tesla and though he's had to replace the tires more often, he has not had any other maintenance issues with the car.
Though he said it was a higher cost for a vehicle, it is comparable to many luxury vehicles, and he saves money in other ways, Grojean said.
A Tesla ranges in cost, depending on the model, with brand new 2022 models ranging from $47,000 to $100,000.
The savings on gas is something that has partially lead to the increase in the purchase of electric vehicles.
Brown County has one EV registration, Cass has one, Greene has three, Jersey has 23, Macoupin has 33, Madison has 471, Pike has six, Sangamon has 420, Schuyler has three and Scott has seven.
Grojean said he feels he has saved a lot of money in the long run.
"I drive from Springfield, so I put on a lot of miles," Grojean said. "I save on gas every month, so in my eyes it's worth in."
While his electric bill initially increased, Grojean said it only went up about $100.
He said he is also happy because of its higher safety rating. Tesla received a five-star safety ranking from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 2020.
The safety is something at which the Jacksonville Fire Department has been looking.
Fire Chief Doug Sills said there is a bit of a difference in a department's response when an electric car is involved because of the concerns over damage to the battery, as well as how to safely remove people from an electric vehicle that has been involved in a crash.
Sills said the department has had training on how to respond to incidents involving electric cars, because there are some precautions that have to be made.
Sills said fires with electric cars are not too common, though can be more complicated when they do happen.
"An EV's engineering is pretty safe," Sills said. "It's when the batteries are traumatized through a wreck or overheat that there are problems."
Sills said when an electric vehicle is involved in an crash one of the first things is to examine the batteries for any trauma that could cause a fire from the thermal runaway from the batteries.
If a fire occurs because of the runaway, Sills said they can be more difficult to put out and take a lot longer before a vehicle is considered safe and can be moved.
"We typically have to monitor the battery packs for at least an hour," Sills said.
Extractions are also slightly different. The department has access to a database with safety guides depending on the model of vehicle that they use to avoid cutting into the vehicle at the wrong place. The guides available to the departments has outlines of where the high voltages systems are.
"We are training on these, but we ave to play catchup," Sills said. "There has been a lot of cooperation with manufactures creating these resources for us."
Though they are considered generally safe, one small downside is that any maintenance that needs to be done requires a trip to Bloomington or St. Louis, or waiting for a technician to come to your home, Grojean said.
Grojean said the vehicle has been cheaper when it comes to taking trips as well.
For his Tesla, the vehicle's GPS will plot the course with the points where they need to stop to recharge and how long it will take to charge, which can add time to a trip, more so than it could take to fill a tank of gas. .
"It adds a little time, maybe an hour or so depending on the trip," Grojean said. "But saving $300 a trip in gas is worth it."
Because of the plotted route, Grojean said he hasn't had any issues with getting his car charged on a trip, even if the number of charging stations is lower than the number of gas stations.
The state of Illinois has been looking to install charging stations along many of the state's major roads to encourage the expansion of electric car use.
"They've added two more in our area since I've gotten mine," Grojean said. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Electric-cars-seeing-increase-in-popularity-17225740.php | 2022-06-11T07:18:47 | en | 0.987212 |

Two incumbents are competing for the Republican nomination for a new 15th Congressional District seat with Rodney Davis touting his legislative experience and Mary Miller pointing to her endorsement by former President Donald Trump.
The winner of the June 28 primary election will face Democrat Paul J. Lange of Quincy, who is running unopposed for his party’s nomination.
Miller, 62, of Oakland has represented the old 15th District in Congress since Jan. 3, 2021. Davis, 52, of Taylorville, has represented the old 13th District in Congress since Jan. 3, 2013. The new 15th District was created by the General Assembly based on results from the 2020 Census. It crosses the breadth of central Illinois, but the 13th District pierces through the heart of it, encompassing large parts of Springfield, Decatur and Champaign.
Davis lives in the 15th District, but Miller lives in the new 12th Congressional District. She can run because part of the new district is within her current district. The new 15th District is comprised of 31% of Miller’s former district, 27% of Davis’s, and 42% new territory for both candidates.
“You don’t have to zoom in to see it’s a gerrymandered mess,” Davis said. “They just wanted to make as many safe Democratic seats as possible. But it’s a great district and we plan to be in all of areas of the district like we always have and visiting all parts of it.”
“We all know (Gov. J.B.) Pritzker and the corrupt Democrats targeted conservative Republicans,” Miller said. “They created a conservative district. This district is over 70% for President Trump.”
Davis talked about his experience as a legislator as one of his strengths. “Experience matters. I have a record of standing by my principles,” Davis said. “I have experience writing farms bills while representing a district that relies heavily on farming. I have a tremendous record of dealing with issues of the day such as infrastructure.”
Miller highlighted her conservative credentials. “I am a conservative, America First candidate who President Trump endorsed. I oppose all efforts to diminish our Second Amendment rights,” she said. “I am a Freedom Caucus member. A Border Caucus and Second Amendment Caucus member. It’s just a privilege to represent the people as a conservative.”
The candidates had contrasting views on their top legislative priorities.
“I defend the Constitution,” Miller said. “That’s number one. We need policies that will protect our farmers. We need to do something about the Protect Waters of USA Act – it’s nothing but regulatory overreach.”
She is also promoting her Safety and Opportunity for Girls Act. “My bill would clarify that nothing in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 can be interpreted to give the Biden Administration the authority to prohibit schools from maintaining sex-segregated bathrooms, locker rooms, sports teams, and academic programs.”
Davis identified the new farm bill as his top priority. “I will be part of the debate as a member of the House Agriculture Committee. This will be the third chance I have to help write a farm bill that allows farmers to take risks. I have a great opportunity to have an impact,” Davis said. “We need to allow Illinois farmers to do what they do best, which is feed the world.”
He has sponsored the Rural Investment in America Act that would provide greater lending authority to the Small Business Administration to provide loans to businesses who manufacture key infrastructure goods in rural industrial parks. Davis said it would offer partial loan forgiveness to cover payroll, permitting and other capital costs associated with site development when long-term jobs are created in rural areas.
Davis said an increase in funding to update locks and dams is another priority.
The candidates also listed what they thought were the three most important issues to their constituents. Davis chose inflation, the border crisis and increasing crime. Miller cited Second Amendment rights, energy independence and America first.
“Inflation includes gas prices because they are rising at an alarming rate. The cost of buying anything is going up because of bad policies from Biden and the Democrats,” Davis said. “Gas prices are an issue because of lack of investment in energy exploration.”
Davis said the border crisis is important because it is where illegal drugs are coming into the country. “Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico policy’ needs to be codified into law,” he said. “We also need to fund completion of the border wall started in the Trump administration.”
Davis also talked about the increase in crime.
“What we saw in San Francisco with the removal of a liberal prosecutor is showing the frustration the public has with prosecutors who coddle criminals,” Davis said. “Biden is not investing in police.”
Miller emphasized her support of Second Amendment rights. “I would never vote to diminish those rights in any way. I am absolutely against any change. We have laws on the books, but criminals get guns. They commit crimes. We’ve done all we can with gun laws. We have cultural problems.”
As for energy independence, Miller said her family is deeply involved in agriculture as they raise grain and cattle. “I am a mom in a big family, and this is an important issue and fueling inflation. We need more energy production.”
Putting America first is what matters to the people, Miller said. “We have gone from America First to America Last.”
Miller encouraged people to look at her voting record as a conservative. “[Former] President Trump, Ted Cruz and other conservatives have endorsed me.”
She talked about her scores from the Liberty Score Conservative Review, the American Conservative Union and the Heritage Action for America. “I encourage people to look at Rodney Davis’ scores and compare it to my ‘A’ rating.”
Davis said he knows Morgan County because he attended Illinois College for a year before transferring to Millikin University.
“I will never sacrifice my conservative principles. Voters can trust me to return to Washington to fight back against liberal policies,” Davis said. “I want to earn their vote.” | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/GOP-congressional-candidates-Davis-and-Miller-17233801.php | 2022-06-11T07:18:59 | en | 0.972327 |

Illinois legislators delved into linguistics during their latest session to deal with words including crash, accident and alien.
For instance, not every crash is an accident, and that definition legally will change July 1, 2023.
Passed as House bill 5496, the law spends 642 pages amending several statutes to uniformly replace the word "accident" with the word "crash” in relation to automobiles, motor vehicles and traffic accidents.
A second word change, passed into law as Senate Bill 3865, ends the use of the word alien to describe non-citizens throughout Illinois law. It took effect immediately.
Both bills were signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
State Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer, R-Jacksonville, said times change and there often is a need to update words and usage. “Certainly, we went through this in changing chairman to chairperson. Most often, it’s just a basic language update.”
The act reads, “Crash encompasses all types of motor vehicle impacts and collisions, including, but not limited to, an impact or collision caused by negligence, willful and wanton conduct, or an intentional act.”
“Not every crash is an accident and I think they (bill sponsors) were just trying to point out the difference,” Davidsmeyer said. “A crash can be purposeful.”
There was little dissent over the accident vs. crash usage, with only one legislator in each chamber opposing the wording change.
Not so in the case of SB 3865, which its main sponsor, Sen. Mike Simmons, D-Chicago, said was designed to make only “nonsubstantive changes that remove the dehumanizing term ‘alien’ from all Illinois statutory provisions. No change made by this amendatory act … shall be interpreted so as to make any substantive change to existing law.”
Davidsmeyer was one of seven members of the House to oppose eliminating the use of alien. Thirteen members did not vote.
There is a big push in Illinois to get rid of any mention of illegal immigrants, Davidsmeyer said.
“My concern was there might be something underlying in the bill. Some of these bills are so small but have unintended consequences and that was my concern with this bill,” he said.
The Associated Press Stylebook, a guide to word usage, agrees with the intent, advising not to use the word alien “unless referring to a being from outer space.” | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/New-laws-govern-word-changes-in-state-statutes-17228258.php | 2022-06-11T07:19:37 | en | 0.966726 |

By now you'd think you know what you're getting with an Adam Sandler sports movie. "Happy Gilmore" and "The Waterboy" have conditioned us to expect silly voices and left hooks from irritated game show hosts.
But in "Hustle," Sandler's new basketball movie on Netflix, he pulls a crossover. The film, directed by Jeremiah Zagar, isn't the farce you might expect. Rather, it's one of the most textured and affectionate films about basketball that's come along in a long time.
Starring Sandler as a road-weary NBA scout and with several teams' worth of all-stars in cameos, "Hustle" has a surprisingly good handle and feel for the game.
A longtime Knicks fan and pick-up player, it's probably inevitable that Sandler eventually would find his way to a hoops movie.
"Uncut Gems," one of his most recent leading roles, as a gambling-addicted jeweler with a big bet on a Boston Celtics game, veered closer to the sport and co-starred Kevin Garnett. The LeBron James-produced "Hustle," which debuted Friday, isn't as distinctive or (thankfully) as stress-inducing as Josh and Benny Safdie's film, but it's likewise rich in atmosphere and finds Sandler in fine dramatic form.
Sandler plays Stanley Sugarman, a talent scout for the Philadelphia 76ers, who spends his days circling the globe looking for the next Dirk Nowitzki. Life on the road has beaten him down — his wife, Teresa (Queen Latifah), and daughter (Jordan Hull) are accustomed to his absences — and Stanley harbors dreams of transitioning to the coaching ranks. Or not dreams, exactly.
"Guys in their 50s don't have dreams," he says. "They have nightmares and eczema."
Stanley's opportunity finally comes when the team's longtime owner, Rex Merrick (Robert Duvall), promotes him to assistant coach.
But after Merrick dies, the team is taken over by the owner's brash son, Vince (Ben Foster), who has feuded before with Stanley over the potential of a German prospect. Vince puts Stanley back on the road. "You're valuable as a coach," he tells him. "You're indispensable as a scout."
Back on the road, Stanley is in Spain when he notices a crowd gathering outside a gym, on the blacktop. There he sees a construction worker named Bo Cruz (played by NBAer Juancho Hernangómez) whose talent is off the charts, even playing in Timberlands. Stanley, agog at Bo's defensive and shooting prowess, trails Bo to his home to recruit him to the Sixers. After a fallout with Vince, Stanley devotes himself to getting Bo into the NBA draft. Along the way, Sandler gets to put his own spin on that fabled sports movie type, the hard-training coach. "Hustle" doesn't veer wildly from the "Rocky" formula, but it does capture something fresh about the bond between player and coach. It's also a clever twist that Bo's greatest talent is his defense, and his biggest hurdle to success is keeping his cool.
All of this plays out in Taylor Materne and Will Fetters' script with a keen sense of detail that will delight NBA fans. There is even a reference to a woebegone Andrea Bargnani trade that will make Knicks fans chuckle (and cringe). The cameos keep coming, including most of the current Sixers roster, Allen Iverson, Boban Marjanović, Luka Dokic, Trae Young and some more fleshed-out characters, like Bo's rival draft pick Kermit Wilts, played charismatically by Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards.
With each appearance, the distance between "Hustle" and the actual NBA grows increasingly small. Stanley's great fear is being left outside "the game," and "Hustle" often is intoxicatingly close to it. This is a movie where you get to see Sandler call Nowitzki "Schnitzel" on FaceTime and marvel at Julius "Dr. J" Erving (a still extremely potent presence) showing up to a playground court.
Some might say "Hustle" verges close to NBA advertisement, but Zagar, a South Philly native who emerged with the 2018 indie "We the Animals," frames the pros who populate his film like people and players, rather than stars. And Sandler imbues Sugarman not just with genuine basketball obsession but the common mid-life struggle of finding only ingratitude from an employer after half a life of tireless service. After some less strenuous workouts for Netflix, Sandler works hard to give "Hustle" the full-court press — even if his wardrobe of jerseys and mesh shorts might have come right out of his closet.
Sandler's film would make a solid double-header with another Netflix film, Steven Soderbergh's "High Flying Bird," the 2019 drama with Andre Holland as a sports agent hustling during an NBA lockout. "Hustle" is a more amiable film, less interested in prying into the underpinnings of the league. But for a sport that only occasionally has been captured authentically by the movies, "Hustle" has genuine flow.
"Hustle," a Netflix release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for language. Running time: 117 minutes. Three stars out of four. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Review-Adam-Sandler-basketball-drama-Hustle-17231081.php | 2022-06-11T07:20:01 | en | 0.971151 |

A Jacksonville High School graduate took time while still in high school to ensure that veterans have a productive work environment. As a future veteran, he may someday be able to use it himself.
Steven E. Doss earned his Eagle Scout award for what he has done for veterans who use AmVets Post 100's Vet-to-Vet room.
"Before Steven started his project, the room was a storage room and did not have the environment people needed to work," said David Elmore, Troop 107's assistant Scout master. "This is an area for veterans who do not have internet access to utilize a workspace for job applications and printing of needed documents. He deep-cleaned the room, replaced light covers, removed the fold-down tables from the walls and sanded and stained them. He then reinstalled the fold-down tables and decorated them with large service emblems of the military branches."
Doss began his Scouting journey with Cub Scout Pack 113 at South Jacksonville Elementary School, where he advanced through the ranks from Cub Scout to Webelo and earned his Arrow of Light in May 2015. Shortly after, he followed in his brother's footsteps and joined Troop 107; he has been an active troop member for seven years.
"In 2018, he was a counselor-in-training at Camp Bunn," Elmore said. "Steven has held several leadership positions within the troop, including scribe, patrol leader and senior patrol leader. In the summer of 2019, Steven was tapped to become a member of the Order of the Arrow and served as treasurer for Illinek Lodge 132. In his sophomore year of high school, he was accepted to attend the Freedoms Foundation Conference in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, sponsored by Illinois AmVets."
While at JHS, Doss lettered in cross country all four years, serving as captain his junior and senior years. He also was voted "most dedicated" his senior year, lettered as a member of the JHS swim team during his junior and senior years, and was involved in tap dancing.
"He is a percussionist in the band, playing quints in drumline and vibraphone during symphonic band," Elmore said. "He has served as both pit squad leader and cymbal squad leader" and was active in vocal music, singing with the JHS men's and women's ensemble for one year and Madrigals for three years. "Steven was selected to District Choir and All-State Choir his senior year ... he has performed in many plays and musicals while at JHS."
Now that Doss has graduated, he will ship out for basic training and military occupational specialties school with the Marine Corps Reserve. After training, he intends to enroll in a four-year college or university with a long-term goal of becoming a professional pilot for Delta Airlines.
Doss also was presented in 2020 with the God and Life medal at his church, Faith Lutheran. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Serving-his-country-even-before-enlisting-17234075.php | 2022-06-11T07:20:07 | en | 0.9923 |

PITTSFIELD – Ten candidates, including eight incumbents, are vying for the Republican nomination to the Pike County Board in the June 28 primary election. Nine seats are available on the board. No Democrats are running in the election.
Four candidates filled out surveys sent out by the Journal-Courier in early June. They are incumbents Andy Borrowman and Reta Hoskin as well as challengers Donald W. Foster and Joseph L. Cobb. Not responding to the request were Jim Sheppard, Mark Mountain, Mark Sprague, Derek Ross, John Birch and Tom Lewis, all incumbents.
Andy Borrowman
Incumbent Borrowman, 67, has spent 13 years serving on the board, 10 of those years as chairman. His goal is to continue to make Pike County a great place to live and raise a family. The most important issue to the region, he said, is to try to continue to provide great services without raising taxes.
Borrowman is a graduate of Pittsfield High School and worked for the Illinois Department of Transportation for 30 years. He and his wife, Sheryl, live in Nebo and have four children and 13 grandchildren.
Joseph L. Cobb
Cobb, a farmer and owner of two small businesses, is challenging the incumbents on the board. He has previously served as a road commissioner.
His goals, if elected, include economic oversight and development. He said he has a strong knowledge of economics. He believes the most important issue to the region is infrastructure and agriculture.
Cobb, of Pittsfield, holds an associate degree. He and his wife, Brooke Bauer Cobb, have two daughters, Kaitlyn and Josie.
Donald W. Foster
Foster, 69, is one of two candidates challenging the incumbents for a seat on the board. He has served as an election judge since 1974 and worked part time at Pike County Sheriff's office.
If elected, Foster would like to increase employment opportunities and stabilize taxes. Foster said he has an ability to analyze situations and talk to people. He said employment opportunities are the most important issue to the region.
Foster has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in agricultural economics and agronomy as well as a master’s certificate in crop science. He has farmed for 50 years, worked for the U.S Postal Service for 29 1/2 years, was an assistant manager at the Pittsfield Farm and Home Supply as well as a crop adjuster for the Federal Crop Insurance Corp. and Country Companies.
He and his wife, Dianna, live in Pittsfield, have been married for 44 years and have two daughters, a son and six grandchildren.
Reta Hoskin
Hoskin is running for re-election to the board, where she has served since December 2020. She has been Republican Precinct Committeeman for Derry Township since 2019.
Her goals are to keep those taxes and fees that are under the control of the county board as low as possible and to ensure resources available to the county are used as effectively as possible.
Hoskin worked for the state of Illinois for 30 years and has experience in budgeting, finance management, state and federal regulations, health care, and legislative issues. “I bring integrity and have a strong desire and ability to resolve problems,” she said.
The most important issue to the region, Hoskin said, is keeping local taxes and fees low, especially in this time of inflation with high gas and food prices.
Hoskin graduated from Barry High School. She has a bachelor's degree in music theory and composition from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and a master’s degree in musicology from the University of Michigan. Hoskin is retired but has worked as an administrative assistant for a state representative from 1984 to 1989, then worked for the state of Illinois from 1989 until 2017 in the department that funds and regulates services for adults and children with developmental disabilities.
Hoskin is single and lives in New Canton. She has a brother and a sister as well as several nieces and nephews. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Ten-vie-for-nine-seats-on-Pike-County-Board-17234108.php | 2022-06-11T07:20:19 | en | 0.981105 |

It’s the inflation you’re not supposed to see.
From toilet paper to yogurt and coffee to corn chips, manufacturers are quietly shrinking package sizes without lowering prices. It’s dubbed “shrinkflation,” and it’s accelerating worldwide.
In the U.S., a small box of Kleenex now has 60 tissues; a few months ago, it had 65. Chobani Flips yogurts have shrunk from 5.3 ounces to 4.5 ounces. In the U.K., Nestle slimmed down its Nescafe Azera Americano coffee tins from 100 grams to 90 grams. In India, a bar of Vim dish soap has shrunk from 155 grams to 135 grams.
Shrinkflation isn’t new, experts say. But it proliferates in times of high inflation as companies grapple with rising costs for ingredients, packaging, labor and transportation. Global consumer price inflation was up an estimated 7% in May, a pace that will likely continue through September, according to S&P Global.
“It comes in waves. We happen to be in a tidal wave at the moment because of inflation,” said Edgar Dworsky, a consumer advocate and former assistant attorney general in Massachusetts who has documented shrinkflation on his Consumer World website for decades.
Dworsky began noticing smaller boxes in the cereal aisle last fall, and shrinkflation has ballooned from there. He can cite dozens of examples, from Cottonelle Ultra Clean Care toilet paper, which has shrunk from 340 sheets per roll to 312, to Folgers coffee, which downsized its 51-ounce container to 43.5 ounces but still says it will make up to 400 cups. (Folgers says it’s using a new technology that results in lighter-weight beans.)
Dworsky said shrinkflation appeals to manufacturers because they know customers will notice price increases but won’t keep track of net weights or small details, like the number of sheets on a roll of toilet paper. Companies can also employ tricks to draw attention away from downsizing, like marking smaller packages with bright new labels that draw shoppers’ eyes.
That’s what Fritos did. Bags of Fritos Scoops marked “Party Size” used to be 18 ounces; some are still on sale at a grocery chain in Texas. But almost every other big chain is now advertising “Party Size” Fritos Scoops that are 15.5 ounces — and more expensive.
PepsiCo didn't respond when asked about Fritos. But it did acknowledge the shrinking of Gatorade bottles. The company recently began phasing out 32-ounce bottles in favor of 28-ounce ones, which are tapered in the middle to make it easier to hold them. The changeover has been in the works for years and isn't related to the current economic climate, PepsiCo said. But it didn't respond when asked why the 28-ounce version is more expensive.
Likewise, Kimberly-Clark — which makes both Cottonelle and Kleenex — didn’t respond to requests for comment on the reduced package sizes. Proctor & Gamble Co. didn’t respond when asked about Pantene Pro-V Curl Perfection conditioner, which downsized from 12 fluid ounces to 10.4 fluid ounces but still costs $3.99.
Earth’s Best Organic Sunny Day Snack Bars went from eight bars per box to seven, but the price listed at multiple stores remains $3.69. Hain Celestial Group, the brand’s owner, didn’t respond to an email seeking comment.
Some companies are straightforward about the changes. In Japan, snack maker Calbee Inc. announced 10% weight reductions — and 10% price increases — for many of its products in May, including veggie chips and crispy edamame. The company blamed a sharp rise in the cost of raw materials.
Domino’s Pizza announced in January it was shrinking the size of its 10-piece chicken wings to eight pieces for the same $7.99 carryout price. Domino’s cited the rising cost of chicken.
In India, “down-switching” — another term for shrinkflation — is mostly done in rural areas, where people are poorer and more price sensitive, said Byas Anand, head of corporate communications for Dabur India, a consumer care and food business. In cities, companies simply jack up prices.
“My company has been doing it openly for ages,” Anand said.
Some customers who have noticed the downsizing are sharing examples on social media. Others say shrinkflation is causing them to change their shopping habits.
Alex Aspacher does a lot of the grocery shopping and meal planning for his family of four in Haskins, Ohio. He noticed when the one-pound package of sliced Swiss cheese he used to buy shrank to 12 ounces but kept its $9.99 price tag. Now, he hunts for deals or buys a block of cheese and slices it himself.
Aspacher said he knew prices would rise when he started reading about higher wages for grocery workers. But the speed of the change — and the shrinking packages — have surprised him.
“I was prepared for it to a degree, but there hasn’t been a limit to it so far,” Aspacher said. “I hope we find that ceiling pretty soon.”
Sometimes the trend can reverse. As inflation eases, competition might force manufacturers to lower their prices or reintroduce larger packages. But Dworsky says once a product has gotten smaller, it often stays that way.
“Upsizing is kind of rare,” he said.
Hitendra Chaturvedi, a professor of supply chain management at Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business, said he has no doubt many companies are struggling with labor shortages and higher raw material costs.
But in some cases, companies’ profits — or sales minus the cost of doing business — are also increasing exponentially, and Chaturvedi finds that troubling.
He points to Mondelez International, which took some heat this spring for shrinking the size of its Cadbury Dairy Milk bar in the U.K. without lowering the price. The company’s operating income climbed 21% in 2021, but fell 15% in the first quarter as cost pressures grew. By comparison, PepsiCo’s operating profit climbed 11% in 2021 and 128% in the first quarter.
“I’m not saying they’re profiteering, but it smells like it,” Chaturvedi said. “Are we using supply constraints as a weapon to make more money?” | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/home-shrinkflation-17228416.php | 2022-06-11T07:20:25 | en | 0.955855 |
Shasta County incumbents remain in the lead, latest tally shows
Four incumbent candidates are likely to retain their seats in countywide races, according to the latest unofficial results released Friday.
Two other races could change as Shasta County election officials continued to count ballots from Tuesday's primary election.
The latest tally of votes in the Shasta County race saw the schools superintendent, district attorney, sheriff and clerk with vote totals surpassing the 50% threshhold needed to avoid a runoff in the November general election:
- Shasta County District Attorney Stephanie Bridgett's lead widen slightly over challenger Erik Jensen. Bridgett had 58.34% of the vote to Jensen's 41.66%.
- Shasta County Sheriff Michael Johnson received 64.31% while candidate John Greene had 35.69%.
- Shasta County Clerk and Registrar of Voters had the widest margin of any candidate in all six local races, with 70.82% of the vote to candidate Bob Holsinger's 29.18%
- Shasta County Superintendent of School Judy Flores also saw her lead widen just slightly to 59.39% against candidate Bryan Caples' 40.61%
Shasta County Election Results 2022 | Record Searchlight
Some 26,140 ballots had been processed as of Wednesday morning. As of 5 p.m. Friday, 16,298 ballots still need to be tallied, according to the Shasta County Elections Office. These include mail-in, drop-off and provisional ballots. More mailed ballots postmarked by Election Day are rolling in.
At stake are two other local races:
- Shasta County Board of Supervisors, District 1
- Shasta County Board of Supervisors, District 5
In District 1, with 49.71% of the vote, Erin Resner remained just under the 50% threshold in the race. That means a runoff is possible against Kevin Crye, who is the second largest vote-getter in primary contest, with 40.97%.
In District 5, with 45.53% of the vote, Baron Browning is headed to a runoff with Chris Kelstrom, who had 35.3% of the vote.
While not indicating it was affecting the count, Shasta County Clerk/Registrar of Voters Cathy Darling said Friday that more county offices had entered COVID-19 "outbreak" status this week "than we've had in weeks."
The Liberty Committee had supported six "anti-establishment" challengers: sheriff candidate Greene, District 5 candidate Kelstrom, District 1 candidate Crye, district attorney candidate Jensen, clerk candidate Holsinger and superintendent of schools candidate Caples.

There is nothing uglier on the face of the planet than a pair of men’s briefs.
You know it’s true. Every wife on the earth stifles a shudder — and a yawn — as she tosses those “tighty-whities” into the washer.
Husbands are oblivious to this. To them, it is enough to have stepped into underwear, ugly or not. As long as there are two leg holes and enough elastic to keep them on his body, he will wear them.
As a rule, husbands don’t buy their own briefs. They wait for the Undie Fairy to deliver new ones at regular intervals. Sooner or later, the glint of bright, white, Fruit of the Looms will magically appear to replace their really unmentionables.
Most wives eventually experiment with variations on the standard cotton brief theme. It’s a lesson in futility to think other styles will be more flattering, but it’s worth trying just for the yuks.
I bought John some bikini briefs once, (many years ago). He sauntered toward me, smiling. I backed across the room, giggling and pointing. He took that as a compliment.
Sorry, but the sight of a mature man in itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny bikini briefs is just a little like seeing an old poodle with a new haircut. Sure, it’s still a poodle. But who wants to see those scrawny, shaky limbs? The graying, patchy hairline? Bony haunches?
Enough said.
Sure, there are other options. Boxers look OK on the guy on the underwear package, but they remind me of something Popeye would wear to the beach. I also think of handlebar mustaches and barbershop quartets. Not my idea of modern manly wear. And boxer-briefs are a great compromise, but John says they bunch up along his legs. Not good … if he isn’t comfortable, I may as well just throw them out.
Maybe it’s time for a change in men’s intimate fashion. Disposable briefs? Wear ‘em once, throw ‘em away? I can imagine men all over America digging through the trash, looking for yesterday’s pair. “They’re still good … I only wore them to watch TV!”
How about pleasing designs or advertisements on undies? Whimsically placed artwork would give women something to look at besides that loose string of fraying elastic that hangs from the bottom of one leg and makes the wearer itch/scratch when he walks. Pull that string, my friend, and those briefs will disengage like sections of the space shuttle.
Would printed knock-knock jokes be wrong? Chicken Soup for the Soul stories? You’d have to wear your glasses to bed, but think of the fun. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry.
It could spice things up if they printed some of those three-ingredient, quick-cooking recipes on men’s undies. I know I’d give John more than just a grimaced glance if his briefs offered a new spin on potato salad.
I guess underwear is so named because it is best hidden under other duds. A well-tailored suit on a well-maintained male body is a beautiful sight, but my disillusioned, long-married brain knows the truth.
That suit is probably covering standard issue, baggy-bottomed underwear that begs for bleach or a toss in the trash can.
It is a sad thing when the sight of your favorite man in his favorite skivvies only reminds you to add Clorox 2 to your grocery list.

If the fire alarm went off in your home or workplace and you had to evacuate quickly, what would you grab on your way out?
Besides pets, spouses, Chapstick and an extra change of underwear, I’m guessing most of us could agree on one item: our phones.
Our phones have become an extension of us. We wouldn’t consider leaving home without them.
I didn’t see it coming — this reliance I have (we have) on our phones. They’re our communication link to the outside world, but that’s only the beginning. They are calendars, calculators and contacts. Anyone remember the days when we actually memorized the phone numbers of friends and family? I don’t know anyone’s phone number anymore. Even my own. I’ve got myself on speed dial.
Our phones are cameras. They record video. They are games and memes. They are FaceTime and Facebook, TikTok and alarm clocks. They track your health and your wealth. They are apps, maps and Snaps. They are banking, bill pay and better than cash. They are shopping and free shipping. They are movies and streaming. They are the weather.
My son told me the other day that he converted his weather icon into a widget so it is sized bigger than the other apps on his phone in order to allow him easier access to knowledge about the weather each day. I had to laugh.
What about just looking outside?
He didn’t have much of an answer to that.
It’s the world we live in, isn’t it? We find it checking the weather on our phone screen easier than looking out the screen door.
My phone helps me meditate and create my art. It teaches me how to complete home improvement projects and has even helped with the purchase of a used car.
We spend a lot on our phones, and I’ve been known to complain about that. But they take the place of so many other appliances and gadgets that we used to have as uni-taskers. Regular folks — not professionals — used to spend hundreds or even thousands on cameras and video cameras. Long-distance phone calling used to be an expensive thing.
Our phones are the ultimate multitaskers.
If I didn’t know better, I might say my phone is my best friend. If you could have an inanimate object as a best friend. But maybe phones aren’t inanimate ...
Consider Siri.
I know I do. I ask her questions all the time. She tells me where to go and what to do. Even if she doesn’t know the answer to my question, she’ll be up front and honest about it.
If she is tired, or low on battery life she’ll always do her best to respond. As a friend. I talk to her regularly, and she gets back to me at record speed. You can always count on a good friend to respond. I like that about Siri.
So, yeah, if the fire alarm went off in the wee hours of the morning and I was jarred from a peaceful sleep, I’d grab my phone, because Siri’s always been good to me. And I wouldn’t want to leave her in the lurch, or worse yet, in danger of going up in smoke.
Plus if I got lost during exit, she might be able to help me navigate a way out.

I was having brunch with a few of my friends over the weekend. We were sharing what we had been up to over the last several months and I mentioned that I had recently participated in a gratitude seminar.
Each of them leaned in. After all, who doesn’t want to be more grateful?
If you know me, you also know that even a whiff of interest is all it takes for me to dive in. So I suggested we go around the table and share what we were grateful for. (I confess, I was the most woo-woo version of myself early on a Saturday morning).
One of my friends, who is the Chief Technology Officer of a big firm, leaned in. She said this is awkward for me, but I’m working on it. And gratitude is something I’m trying to help my team work on too. She shared what she was grateful for – her job, her body, her family, us friends, etc.
I went next, pushing myself to get even more specific. I was grateful for the crisp air that morning, grateful for my perfectly cooked egg, and grateful to be applying my commitment to gratitude.
My other friend started her turn saying she was grateful for our friendship. Then she paused, and confessed, this is awkward. And in truth, it is a little awkward at first. My friend continued: I would rather wait until I actually feel it to express it; searching for things to feel grateful for just seems inauthentic.
Here’s the thing: When you start the practice, your brain will catch up. We often waste our time waiting: waiting for gratitude, connection, and mental clarity to happen to us. As if just by existing, these lifelong pursuits will manifest.
Yet, without deep intentionality, they often never do. Instead, when we form the practice, we train our brain to look for it. If you tell someone what you’re grateful for every day, you’ll start to notice more and more things to add to the list. Your brain is looking for ways to win.
The same can be said for forging deep relationships: another thing we yearn for, but often wait to just appear. When we jumpstart the practice, we increase the likelihood. One of my other friends, a young(ish) father started a practice of going to each of his children’s rooms when he got home from work to ask how their day was.
He has teenagers, so not surprisingly, he was met with “fine” for the first several days. But he kept doing it. And over the next few months, the connection started building. The conversations started lasting longer. His kids knew he would be asking, so they made a point to remember positive, challenging, or eventful things they could talk to their dad about. After a year, their relationship as a family had completely transformed.
It wouldn’t have happened if he sat around waiting for the mood to strike him. Instead, he committed to a practice.
I was chatting with a colleague about the notion of mental intentionality. She equated it to cooking a great meal. If you want to have an exceptional dinner, you don’t just stumble to your fridge, hope the right ingredients are there, throw something together, and assume it will be delicious. Instead, you plan. You go to the store to get what you need. You set aside time to walk through all the steps. You stay committed to the recipe or the idea, even when something burns or spills.
In times of stress, it’s tempting to treat our mental state like an output, a reflection of our circumstances, luck, or perceived worthiness. Yet, when we shift our attention to the input (the only thing we can control) everything changes.
Gratitude, connection, and happiness don’t happen by default, they are created by design.

A look at what's happening around the majors today:
___
Dansby Swanson and the Braves will try for their 10th straight win when they host Pittsburgh. Atlanta already is on the longest winning streak in the National League this season.
Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and the Phillies go for their ninth win in a row when they face Arizona. Philadelphia is 7-0 under interim manager Rob Thomson — he is the first manager to win his first seven games since Joe Morgan won 12 straight with the Boston Red Sox in 1988.
The Athletics, meanwhile, have lost 10 in a row after Cleveland rallied for three runs in the bottom of the ninth for a 3-2 victory.
The A’s are struck in their first double-digit skid since 2011 and have been outscored 60-20 during the streak. Oakland has the worst record in the American League at 20-40.
CLINT CUT
The up-and-down career of Clint Frazier took another turn when he was cut by the Chicago Cubs.
The 27-year-old outfielder was designated for assignment in a surprise decision by the team. He was at Yankee Stadium on Friday afternoon for the start of the Chicago-New York series and his Cubs uniform was hanging in his locker.
“He was upset. Emotional, would be a good word,” manager David Ross said. “I think he likes it here a lot. I think he believes in his baseball skills, which we do, too. But it’s just one of those really tough decisions we have to make sometimes.”
The 27-year-old Frazier, once a highly rated prospect, was given only 37 at-bats by the Cubs following his rocky tenure with the Yankees. Signed to a $1.5 million, one-year contract, he was batting .216 with three doubles, one RBI and a stolen base in 19 games. He missed more than a month because of an appendectomy.
The Cubs have seven days to trade, release or send him outright to the minors if he clears waivers.
SURGERY SETBACKS
Tampa Bay reliever Andrew Kittredge and Detroit starter Casey Mize are both headed for Tommy John surgery.
Kittredge, an All-Star last season, is the latest Rays reliever to be sidelined. He joined Nick Anderson, J.T. Chargois, Pete Fairbanks and J.P. Feyereisen as key late-inning options who are currently on the injured list.
The 32-year-old righty had just returned five days ago from a 17-game absence due to lower back tightness. He has five saves in eight attempts and a 3.15 ERA in 17 games.
Mize, the No. 1 pick in the June 2018 draft, has a 7-13 record with a 4.29 ERA in 39 big league appearances, all of them starts for the Tigers. The 25-year-old has been on the injured list with a right elbow sprain since April 15 after making two starts this season.
OTTO A NO GO
Rangers rookie Glenn Otto has been put on the COVID-19-related injured list, putting his run of successful starts on pause.
The 26-year-old righty had been scheduled to pitch Friday night against the White Sox in Chicago.
Otto is 4-2 with 4.24 ERA in eight starts. He has won his last three starts with a 2.25 ERA in the span.

GENEVA (AP) — The World Trade Organization is facing one of its most dire moments, the culmination of years of slide toward oblivion and ineffectiveness. Now may be a chance to turn the tide and reemerge as a champion of free and fair trade — or face a future further in doubt.
For the first time in 4 1/2 years, after a pandemic pause, government ministers from WTO countries will gather for four days starting Sunday to tackle issues like overfishing of the seas, COVID-19 vaccines for the developing world and food security at a time when Russia's war in Ukraine has blocked the export of millions of tons of Ukrainian grain to developing nations.
Facing a key test of her diplomatic skill since taking the job 15 months ago, WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala in recent days expressed "cautious optimism" that progress could be made on at least one of four issues expected to dominate the meeting: fisheries subsidies, agriculture, the pandemic response and reform of the organization, spokesman Fernando Puchol said.
Diplomats and trade teams have been working “flat out — long, long hours” to serve up at least one “clean text” for a possible agreement — that ministers can simply rubber-stamp and not have to negotiate — on one of those issues, Puchol told reporters Friday.
“It's difficult to predict a result right now,” he said.
The Geneva-based body, barely a quarter-century old, brings together 164 countries to help ensure smooth and fair international trade and settle trade disputes. Some outside experts expect few accomplishments out of the meeting, saying the main one may simply be getting the ministers to the table.
“The multilateral trading system is in a bad way. The Ukraine situation is not helping,” said Clemens Boonekamp, an independent trade policy analyst and former head of WTO’s agricultural division. “But the mere fact that they are coming together is a sign of a respect for the system.”
Alan Wolff, a former WTO deputy director-general, sounded optimistic that members could make at least some headway.
They might reach an agreement, he said, to help relieve a looming global food crisis arising from the war in Ukraine by ensuring the U.N. World Food Program receives a waiver from food export bans imposed by WTO countries eager to feed their own people.
Wolff, now senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, expressed confidence in Okonjo-Iweala, saying, “I’m not willing to sell her short.’’
He said members “seem to be making progress’’ on an agreement to scale back subsidies that encourage overfishing — something they have been trying to do for more than two decades.
“Do they wrap it up this time?’’ Wolff asked. “Unclear. It’s been a drama.’’
One problem — among many — is that the WTO operates by consensus, so any one of its 164 member countries could gum up the works.
In short, the WTO has become an important diplomatic battleground between developed and developing countries, and some experts say reform is needed if it’s ever to get things done.
The trade body, created in 1995 as a successor to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, has seen a slow unraveling. It hasn't produced a major trade deal in years. The last big success was a 2014 agreement billed as a boost to lower-income countries that cut up red tape on goods clearing borders.
Years ago, the United States started clamping down on the WTO's appeals court, which in theory delivers the last word on trade disputes, such as a high-profile one between the U.S. and EU involving plane-making giants Airbus and Boeing.
Then, U.S. President Donald Trump came along, threatening to pull America out of the WTO over his insistence that it was unfair to the U.S. In the end, he didn’t, and simply bypassed the WTO — slapping sanctions on allies and foes alike and ignoring the trade organization's rulebook and dispute-resolution system.
Once a champion of the WTO, the United States has rued the admission of China and insists Beijing has been violating the trade body's rules too much. The U.S. accuses China of excessively supporting state-run companies and impeding free trade, among other things. China denies those allegations.
A generation ago, the WTO drew huge, vituperative, even violent protests — notably from anti-globalists and anarchists who detested its closed-door secrecy and elites-decide-all image.
William Reinsch, a former U.S. trade official, warned that the WTO is now in danger of becoming irrelevant. The best way to show that it still matters, he wrote this month, is to negotiate an agreement, perhaps on fisheries, COVID-19 vaccines or a more difficult issue: encouraging more free trade in farming.
Reinsch, now at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said the United States needs to be doing more — including making compromises — to ensure the WTO can reach agreement on contentious issues.
“The future of the WTO is at risk,” he said. “Failure would be bad for the fish and the farmers, but it would also be bad for a rule-of-law-based global economy.’’

The Butler County engineer maintains roundabouts are the safest option for fixing dangerous intersections, but neighbors in Hanover Twp. are concerned about $1.5 million traffic circle coming to their neighborhood.
Floyd Johnson told the Journal-News he and his neighbors surrounding the intersection of Stahlheber and Morman roads are upset county Engineer Greg Wilkens is pushing through a roundabout that is going to consume a large chunk of his land and “we can’t even sell the house now because of the roundabout.”
“The biggest concerns were we’re basically losing 17% of our property and we have no recourse, we tried to get them to minimize the impact on our land. I think one of the gentleman catty-corner to us, he was told he is gaining footage,” Johnson said. “The reason why they’re shifting it to our property is they see we have a vacant field and they’re kind of looking at is as their playground. We’ve already had two buyers back out.”
He said they realize something has to be done because it is a dangerous intersection, but they would prefer a four-way stop — there are stop signs on Morman Road but drivers can go straight through on Stahlheber — with flashing lights.
Wilkens told the Journal-News they have learned from experience roundabouts are the safest route.
“It’s all about safety what we’ve seen at the end of the day is four-way stops people tend to ignore them over time,” Wilkens said. “They end up running them and that’s been our experience at Millikin and Yankee, that’s what happened, we put a four-way stop in there and the accident rates settled right down, over time the accidents picked right back up.”
Wilkens said in rural areas like this, where the speeds are higher, “it makes it worse.”
“With a roundabout the speeds are slowed down to 20 miles and hour versus 55 mile an hour speed limit,” Wilkens said. “And collisions are not T-bone collisions they are glancing blows. That’s one of the big safety factors to them.”
According to the safety study done on the intersection there were 13 crashes and six involved injuries between January 2017 and December 2019.
Johnson also balked at the price differential. According to Wilkens’ office, the roundabout is costing $1.5 million, and the price for a traditional four-way stop improvement would be $13,200.
“For a rural area spending $1.3 million you kind of question it, when you can spend $10,000 and put in stop signs, rumble strips and flashing red light,” Johnson said. “And petition the state to lower the speed limits in the area.”
Wilkens received a $1.3 million from the Ohio Department of Transportation for the roundabout. He said the state will not agree to lower the speed because there has not been a “change of conflict points” on the road to warrant a lower speed.
Johnson also wanted to know why a four-way stop was put in just up the street at Old Oxford Road where the traffic conditions are nearly identical.
Wilkens said they preferred a roundabout there also, but since Old Oxford is a state route, ODOT nixed it “because of the alignment of that because of park, the township hall and the skewed intersection, the cost for roundabout exceeded what they wanted to do.”
Johnson said he talked to but didn’t hire an eminent domain attorney to try and stop it.
“We know we’re ultimately going to lose in the courts,” Johnson said. “Because the courts always, all they have to do is say public safety and there’s no if, an or buts about it.”
The project is slated for construction next year.

Families will have even more fun this year with the expansion of Wilks Insurance Fishing Derby at Pyramid Hill. This summer, there will be one competition for children, ages 5 to 17, and a second fishing derby for adults, ages 18 and older.
“Families have had so much fun. People love the fishing derby. We’ve received so many requests over the past couple of years from adults who would like to have an opportunity to fish in the lakes at our beautiful park. So, we listened and created the adult fishing derby from that enthusiastic cry for more fishing from the public,” said Zach Robinson, program manager at Pyramid Hill.
This is the first year for the adult fishing derby and this is the only day of the year that fishing is allowed in the park. The annual Wilks Insurance Fishing Derby will be next Saturday, June 18 at Pyramid Hill. This catch and release style competition and park admission is free to all who participate in the Wilks Insurance Fishing Derby. Participants should bring a fishing rod and bait will be available on a first come, first served basis. Prizes will be awarded to participants.
“This is a unique experience. You can fish at other places in this area, but you can’t fish next to a statue of Romeo and Juliet. There’s one day a year that you get to do that and it’s a magical experience. Participants get to do something with the rest of the community, at one time, surrounded by art and nature. It’s just a beautiful experience,” Robinson said.
Pyramid Hill offers a 30-plus acre property with several small lakes, filled with wild bass, crappie, and blue gill, which will be used for the competition.
The Wilks Insurance Fishing Derby will feature a Kids’ Fishing Derby for children ages 5 to 17 from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Registration for the catch and release tournament will begin at 9:30 a.m. There will be age categories for children from ages 5 to13 and ages 14 to17. Prizes will be awarded for the “Biggest Fish” and the “Most Fish Caught” in both age groups. All kids need to have a supervising adult onsite.
New this year, there will be an Adults’ Fishing Derby for adults ages 18 and over. The catch and release tournament for adults will be 1 to 4 p.m. Registration will start at 12:30 p.m. Prizes will be awarded to adults for “Biggest Fish” and “Most Fish Caught.” A mobile bar will open at 1 p.m. and continue to serve guests throughout the duration of the event. Hamilton Bait & Tackle will provide the bait and prizes for the Kids’ Fishing Derby.
Attendees will have an opportunity to meet and receive fly fishing lessons from Rick Robinson, co-author of “A Fish Ate My Homework” during the event. Classes will be on a first come, first served basis. Classes will be offered at 11 a.m. for the kid’s fly-fishing lesson and at 2 p.m. for the adults fly-fishing lesson.
“I’m excited about all the things we have to offer this summer. The fishing derby is the kick-off to all of our summer, fun activities,” Robinson said.
Spots for fishing will be available on a first come, first served basis and guests may only fish at the specific lakes assigned to participants. Fishing is not allowed at Pyramid Hill any other day of the year, which makes the Wilks Insurance Fishing Derby a highly anticipated event. Participants must check-in prior to fishing and abide by the park rules at all times.

India had an outstanding day with the bat in the first game. They piled up 211 runs in the first innings after being put in to bat by the Proteas. But, the duo of David Miller and Rassie van der Dussen piled up an unbeaten 131-run partnership to take their side home with a historic chase.
India will be hoping to make a scintillating comeback in the series with a win here while the Proteas would be hoping to continue their dominance against this inexperienced Indian side.

Spinner Mohammad Nawaz claimed 4/19 and pacer Mohammad Wasim bagged 3/34 after Imam-ul-Haq and skipper Babar Azam posted half-centu8ries as Pakistan thrashed West Indies by 120 runs in the second Day-Night One-day International here to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
READ: Croatia beats Denmark by 1-0 in their final league game, France vs Austria game ends in a draw
Imam-ul-Haq struck a run-a-ball 72 while Babar Azam scored a 93-ball 77 as Pakistan posted a par score of 275/8 in 50 overs electing to bat first at the Multan Cricket Stadium here on Friday.
In response, West Indies were skittled out for 155 in just 32.2 overs as left-arm spinner Nawaz and Wasim wreaked havoc with their middle and lower order after Shaheen Shah Afridi had struck the first blow on the last ball of the opening over by sending back opener Shai Hope for four. Shai Hope had struck a century in the previous match and helped West Indies reach a big score.
Kyle Mayers (33) and Shamarh Brooks raised 67 runs for the second wicket to resurrect the innings but Wasim castled him trying to hit across the line, ending his 25-ball stay for 33 that included four boundaries and two sixes.
The wicket on the last ball of the 10th over and the departure of Brandon King (0), bowled by Nawaz, who made one snake past the outside edge to hit the top of the off-stump, in the next over really set West Indies back.
Brooks and skipper Nicholas Pooran raised 30 runs for the fourth wicket but once Brooks, their top-scorer with 42 runs, was sent back by Nawaz, rapped on the pads while going for a sweep. The left-arm spinner followed it up with the wicket of Rovman Powell (10) and Pooran (25) in quick succession to end West Indies' hopes of making a match of it. | https://www.dnaindia.com/cricket/report-pakistan-seals-the-series-with-a-120-runs-victory-over-west-indies-in-the-2nd-odi-2959644 | 2022-06-11T07:24:41 | en | 0.956093 |
Akshay Kumar‘s epic historical film Samrat Prithviraj has run out of steam in its second week at the box office, and is languishing around the Rs.1.85 to 2 crore mark on its eighth day of release, as per Bollywood Hungama.
The film was made on a hefty Rs 200 crore budget thanks to costumes, visual effects and elaborate sets, but it is not even close to recovering the cost. The film will almost certainly not cross the coveted Rs 100 crore mark, let alone breaking even. As per estimates, it is expected to make Rs 65 crore in total. Thus far, the film has made Rs 57 crore.
Written and directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi, the film is based on 12th century Rajpur potentate, the titular Prithviraj Chauhan. Samrat Prithviraj, which takes its story from Chand Bardai’s epic poem Prithviraj Raso, also stars Sanjay Dutt, Sonu Sood, Manav Vij, Ashutosh Rana and Sakshi Tanwar.
Dwivedi had earlier said that Prithviraj has been a long time coming, and that he lived with the story for 18 years before he made the movie.

“Prithviraj is my dream project. It’s a script that I have nurtured for a long, long time because of the extensive research work that was needed before I even attempted to make a film on this mighty and legendary king. To be precise, Prithviraj’s final research took about six months for me to be fully satisfied that every single fact was checked multiple times,” said Dwivedi.
The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta gave the film 2 stars and wrote, “What Chandraprakash Dwivedi has done is to soup up the legend so that it is in sync with the dominant national mood. Prithviraj is representative of a Bharat when it was pristine, pure, unpolluted. How did a director who has also made the astonishingly subversive ‘Mohalla Assi’ achieve this switcheroo? (Dwivedi has been on record to say that this is his passion project, and he has been trying to get it off the ground for a decade and more). Or is it just a question of being expedient?”
