(The Hill) — America’s teenagers are seeing a lot less of one another.
The share of high school seniors who gathered with friends in person “almost every day” dropped from 44 percent in 2010 to 32 percent in 2022, according to Monitoring the Future, a national survey of adolescents. Social outings for the typical eighth grader dwindled from about 2 1/2 a week in 2000 to 1 1/2 in 2021.
The nation’s teens have traded face time for Facetime. Adolescents are spending less time gathering in shopping malls, movie theaters and rec rooms, and more time connecting on Instagram, TikTok and Discord.
Some researchers see the retreat from social gatherings as key to explaining the wave of adolescent ennui that is sweeping the nation. Numerous studies have tracked rising rates of loneliness among adolescents before, during and since the COVID-19 pandemic. Last month, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy declared a national loneliness epidemic. And loneliness presages depression and other mental health maladies, which are also growing more prevalent among teens.
“Teens are spending a lot more time communicating with each other electronically and a lot less time hanging out with each other face to face,” said Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology at San Diego State University and author of “Generations,” a new book about generational differences.
“Going to the mall has gone down. Driving in the car for fun has gone down. Going to the movies has gone down,” she said. “We’re talking about kids who are spending five, six, seven hours a day on social media.”
Twenge sees a connection between the decline of adolescent gatherings and the rise of teenage loneliness.
About half of the nation’s high-school seniors met up with friends almost daily in the 1970s, when researchers at the University of Michigan began tracking their outings in the Monitoring the Future study.
In the decades since, a gradually shrinking share of teens has reported regular meetups with friends. The steepest decline commenced around 2010, just as smartphones and social media were taking hold. U.S. smartphone ownership reached 50 percent in 2012.
The loneliness epidemic arrived around the same time. A landmark 2021 study found that levels of adolescent loneliness nearly doubled between 2012 and 2018. Prior to 2012, researchers had spotted no loneliness trend.
Twenge believes the timing of the two trends, falling face time and rising loneliness, is no mere coincidence.
“If it’s not smartphones and social media that have caused the rise in teen depression, what is it?” she said. Twenge was the lead author of the 2021 study, published in the Journal of Adolescence.
Today’s teenagers may be spending more time in front of screens than any prior generation.
The average teen spent eight hours and 39 minutes on daily screen time for entertainment in 2021, up from six hours and 40 minutes in 2015, according to Common Sense Media, publisher of a closely watched Common Sense Census.
To put those numbers into perspective: An entire household watched eight hours and 55 minutes of daily television, on average, in 2009-10, the historic peak of television consumption. But researchers caution against comparing the two.
“Screen time can be so many different things,” said Amanda Lenhart, head of research at Common Sense. “There’s all sorts of ways in which these platforms can be both good for kids and bad for kids.”
Nearly half of the nation’s teens now say they are online “almost constantly,” according to Pew Research. More than half say they are effectively addicted to social media and would have a hard time giving it up.
The surgeon general, among others, has linked social media to rising depression and anxiety in teenagers.
Loneliness deepened at the height of the pandemic. Three years later, the epidemic shows few signs of abating. New survey data from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, collected in December, shows 21 percent of teens report being lonely much or all of the time.
“I think social media has been a really significant factor in this decline,” said Richard Weissbourd, a senior lecturer at the Harvard education school.
Weissbourd and other researchers agree with Twenge that face-to-face relationships play a large role in adolescent development.
“Friendships and relationships are very important in adolescence,” said Adam Hoffman, an assistant professor of psychology at Cornell University. Social media “can really only supplement, and cannot replace, in-person relationships. We need to have both of these.”
Both he and Weissbourd stress, however, that social media is only one of several societal forces that have afflicted the mental health of adolescents and young adults in recent years.
“Teens rank achievement pressure really high in terms of negatively influencing their mental health,” Weissbourd said. Adolescents and their families report heightened financial stress. Teens in the 2020s fret about climate change and political strife.
Causes of adolescent loneliness vary by race, class and culture.
“What’s going on with low-income kids in rural areas or low-income kids in areas of concentrated poverty is really different from what’s going on with affluent kids in suburbs,” Weissbourd said.
Social media itself is, psychologically speaking, a mixed bag.
The social maelstrom of Instagram drives some teens into depression. For other young people, social media can bring connection. Nonbinary and transgender teens, for example, have reported joy and empowerment in discovering people like themselves through social media.
“I’m thinking about a gay kid in Montana, and he’s completely on his own, and he doesn’t really know anyone he can talk to,” Hoffman said. “But he’s developed a community online, and he’s got connections with gay kids all over the country.”
Other research suggests teens may ultimately be better off with a social media life than without one.
One 2022 study found that teens reported lower self-esteem when their Internet access was poor or nonexistent. The survey also found that adolescent self-esteem suffered when parents wielded strict control over screen time.
“There’s such strong rhetoric out there about the harms associated with these screens, but to be honest, the data is so weak,” said Keith Hampton, a professor of media and information at Michigan State University and co-author of the study.
“All the data supports the notion that adolescents who spend more time using social media spend more time in person with their friends,” he said.
Twenge agrees with that point. But she also notes that teens are spending less overall face time with their friends today than before the social media era.
As a group of friends migrates from mall gatherings to Instagram, Twenge explains, its most sociable member may spend more time than the others in both in-person and virtual get-togethers. But the group still winds up spending less face time together, in the end.
“There’s a big difference between being in the same place with someone and interacting with someone electronically,” she said. “When you’re in the same room with someone in real time, you’re having a conversation, you can see the look on their face, you can touch each other, and all of these things are important for teens.”

Florida Supreme Court rejects appeal from Louis Gaskin to stop execution next week
Gaskins attorneys will now appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday rejected an appeal from Louis Gaskin, the man known as the “ninja killer" who is scheduled to be executed next week. Gaskin’s attorneys will now appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Gaskin was convicted in 1990 of two counts of first-degree murder in the killings of Robert and Georgette Sturmfels on Dec. 20, 1989, in Palm Coast's R Section. Gaskin shot them from outside the house and then broke in and shot them again. Gaskin then stole some items, some of which he gave to his girlfriend as Christmas presents.
Gaskin was also convicted of the attempted first-degree murder of Joseph Rector on the same night in the same section of Palm Coast.
Victim opposes execution:Noreen Rector, one of Gaskin's victims, opposes execution, has strong words for DeSantis
In his own words:With his execution looming, Louis Gaskin describes attack on second Palm Coast couple
'I shot him again':So-called 'ninja killer' describes how he murdered Palm Coast couple
A Flagler County jury also convicted Gaskin of two counts of armed robbery and two counts of burglary.
The jury recommended by an 8-4 vote that Gaskin be sentenced to death for the murders of the Sturmfels and a judge followed that recommendation.
The Florida Supreme Court issued a ruling Thursday rejecting 56-year-old Gaskin’s appeal and also denying his request for a stay of his planned execution by lethal injection at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, April 12.
Gaskin is represented by Eric Pinkard, Tracy M. Henry and Cortney L. Hackett at Capital Collateral Regional Counsel's office in Temple Terrace.
The state Supreme Court supported Circuit Judge Terence Perkins' denial of a hearing to present mental health expert testimony. The Supreme Court ruled that the issue had already been fully considered previously by the circuit court and the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court noted that previous rulings had held that Gaskin’s attorneys had made a strategic decision not to call mental health experts because his background contained “many negatives.”
The state Supreme Court also rejected arguments from Gaskin that his Constitutional rights were violated in part because the jury was not unanimous in its death recommendation. But the Supreme Court rejected the claim, saying it has repeatedly addressed the issue that a ruling known as Hurst was not retroactive to Gaskin’s case.
The state Supreme Court also rejected Gaskin’s attorneys' arguments that executing him after he has been on death row for more than 30 years, “most of that in what he deems as solitary confinement,” was cruel and unusual punishment. The court rejected both that a lengthy stay was cruel and unusual punishment as well as his characterization that it was solitary confinement.
The Supreme Court stated it rejected a similar argument in the case of convicted murderer Donald Dillbeck, who was executed in February.
The court also rejected an argument that an error in the jury instructions over the especially wicked, evil, atrocious or cruel aggravator contributed to the death sentence for the murder of Robert Sturmfels due to the “substantial aggravation in the case.”
The state Supreme Court also rejected Gaskin’s lawyers’ contention that his execution should be stayed because “more time was needed to resolve complex issues.” The court ruled that Gaskin had failed to raise substantial grounds for a stay.
The court denied Gaskin’s attorneys' request for oral arguments and stated it would not reconsider the issues.
Chief Justice Carlos G. Muniz, and Justices Charles T. Canady, John D. Couriel, Jamie R. Grosshans and Renatha Francis concurred while Jorge Labarga concurred in the result.

TAIPEI, Taiwan - At an exhibit hall in central Taipei, artists set up sculptures, churches held live-streamed prayer sessions, and activists read poems at a vigil near the president’s office, while participants dressed in black held small electric candles and observed 64 seconds of silence.
On the 33rd anniversary of the crushing of pro-democracy demonstrations in Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989, Taiwan has emerged as one of the last places in the Chinese-speaking world remembering the deaths of thousands at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party, after authorities banned such demonstrations in Hong Kong.
"Taiwan has become very important. It has become the only place in the Chinese-speaking world where June 4th can be openly remembered," said Wu Renhua, a former protester in Tiananmen, speaking from a stage in Taipei's Liberty Square. "Preserving history is also a form of resistance," he said.

For more than three decades, activists held an annual candlelight vigil in Hong Kong's Victoria Park to remember the incident also known simply as June 4th. Under a sweeping national security law imposed by Beijing, the vigil - now a broader symbol of political expression in the city - has been banned. Hong Kong authorities, barring any assembly "to express certain views" in or near the park, warned citizens last week not to "test the boundaries."
In Taipei, this year's events are centered on Hong Kong, which has become a cautionary tale for Taiwan as Beijing ramps up threats to take over the self-governed democratic island it claims as its own.
The exhibit, titled "Rather than die in silence, live in resistance," includes art inspired by objects from the Hong Kong protests, such as molotov cocktails and gas masks, photos of street protests in 2019 and films about the movement. The exhibit includes a restored version of the Pillar of Shame, a 26-foot sculpture depicting victims of the massacre. It was removed by Hong Kong authorities in December after being displayed at Hong Kong University for almost 25 years.

In Taipei and Tainan in the south of Taiwan, groups are hosting screenings of a play about an elderly couple in Beijing whose son was killed in the protests. The play ends with a rendition of the protest song, "Glory to Hong Kong." A church in Tamsui, north of Taipei, whose congregants are mostly from Hong Kong live-streamed a prayer session in commemoration of those who died.
"It's a responsibility we cannot relinquish," said Tseng Chien-yuan, president of New School for Democracy, which organized this year's vigil in Taipei. "This is a war on memory. Our duty is to make people remember this incident."
For Tseng, it is important that Taiwan picks up the baton to commemorate June 4, because remembering Tiananmen is a way to support democracy and protect human rights in the region. The art exhibit includes references to Taiwan's authoritarian past during martial law and Myanmar's military takeover.
"Over the past 33 years, the meaning of June 4 is expanding," he said. "This means the regime that cracked down on its people is getting stronger, and we face more difficulties defending democracy."
In Taiwan - where student protests broke out a year after the Tiananmen crackdown and marked a key turning point in Taiwan's democratization - June 4 has traditionally not aroused as much public sympathy as in Hong Kong. Small-scale events have been held for years, garnering little attention compared to the vigil in Hong Kong.

But as more Hong Kong activists and dissidents retreat to Taiwan amid arrests and expanding repression in the city, the anniversary has taken on new significance.
"Taiwan and Hong Kong share a similar fate that connects us because we're facing the same enemy," said Kacey Wong, a dissident artist from Hong Kong who is participating in the June 4 art exhibit in Taipei. "It's like a reserve base."
Wong created a cardboard sculpture based on a Japanese manga series about monster-like giants who feed on humans. "I'm using it as a metaphor that mainland China is coming into Hong Kong and eating people. Of course, now it's coming for Taiwan after it ate up Hong Kong," said Wong, who moved to Taiwan in July 2021.
Former student protesters say that whether Taiwan truly takes up the mantle for remembering Tiananmen depends on Taiwanese residents, many of whom see themselves as disconnected from China or Hong Kong and their struggles for democracy.
In March, when Tseng’s organization launched a fund-raising campaign to restore the Pillar of Shame and display it permanently in Taipei, online backlash was swift. Critics said the events of Tiananmen have nothing to do with Taiwan, emphasizing that Taiwan is not part of China despite Beijing’s repeated claims.
Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen said in a statement Saturday on Facebook: "We believe such brute force cannot erase people's memories. When democracy is under threat . . . it is more necessary to uphold democratic values."

On Saturday, about 2,000 demonstrators gathered in the heat of an early summer evening in Taipei's Liberty Square. Activists, dressed in black and wearing gas masks and hard hats - the unofficial uniform of the Hong Kong protests - erected a miniature version of the Pillar of Shame sculpture. From the crowd, participants yelled, "Glory to Hong Kong."
Liao Yiwu - a prominent Chinese dissident writer who was jailed for four years after publishing his poem "Massacre" in 1990 - attended the vigil. "What happened in Hong Kong was miserable," said Liao, who was in Taiwan for a writing project. At the vigil in Taipei, he recited a new poem, "The Second Massacre," dedicated to the Hong Kong protesters.
Jonni, 19, a Hong Konger who moved to Taiwan last year and who gave only his first name out of security concerns, said he hoped Taiwan would pay more attention to China's threat to its democracy.
“June 4th is a warning,” he said, watching the events from the back of the crowd. “Do not be too complacent. The threat Taiwan faces is even bigger.”

SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Mariners lost utilityman Sam Haggerty for at least the first two rounds of the playoffs after suffering a groin injury late in Monday night’s loss to Detroit.
Seattle manager Scott Servais said Tuesday that Haggerty is not expected to need surgery based off the initial MRI. Seattle placed Haggerty on the 10-day injured list and the severity of the injury could keep him out for a big chunk of October.
The Mariners have clinched an AL wild-card spot.
“There was no question he was going to play in that series. I don’t know if he would start a game or not, but he (was) going to end up in the game,” Servais said. “When he comes in the game, the game is close and it’s late and it’s tight. And we all trust him. He makes plays, he steals bases. He can do all the little things to help you win those close games.”
Haggerty was injured trying to steal second base in the ninth inning of Seattle’s 4-3 loss to Detroit. Haggerty had to be helped off the field and was moving around the Mariners clubhouse on crutches on Tuesday.
Haggerty was hitting .256 with five home runs and 23 RBIs in a key utility role for the Mariners. He played all three outfield positions and second base for the Mariners this season.
With Haggerty out, the Mariners recalled infielder Abraham Toro from Triple-A Tacoma. Toro’s presence would allow Seattle the flexibility to use Dylan Moore in the outfield.
Servais said his staff is still working out the logistics of what the roster for the wild-card series will look like and whether Seattle is going to Toronto or Cleveland will matter.
“Everybody’s going to wonder how this fits. But you can’t get too far down the road because we don’t know who we’re gonna play yet,” Servais said. “And who the opponent is does dictate where you go as far as the playoff roster.”

Examine the landscape and it is easy to understand why Giants general manager Joe Schoen will have the upper hand when he sits down with Saquon Barkley’s agent Kim Miale to talk about a new contract for the star running back.
It has nothing to do with Barkley’s stature among the best backs in the NFL. It has everything to do with supply and demand.

NEW YORK — More than 100,000 people in the U.S. have become allergic to red meat since 2010 because of a weird syndrome triggered by tick bites, according to a government report released Thursday. But health officials believe many more have the problem and don’t know it.
Health officials said they are not aware of any confirmed deaths, but people with the allergy have described it as bewildering and terrifying.
“I never connected it with any food because it was hours after eating,” said one patient, Bernadine Heller-Greenman.
The reaction, called alpha-gal syndrome, occurs when an infected person eats beef, pork, venison or other meat from mammals — or ingests milk, gelatin or other mammal products.
It’s not caused by a germ but by a sugar, alpha-gal, that is in meat from mammals — and in tick spit. When the sugar enters the body through the skin, it triggers an immune response and can lead to a severe allergic reaction.
Scientists had seen reactions in patients taking a cancer drug that was made in mouse cells containing the alpha-gal sugar. But in 2011 researchers first reported that it could spread through tick bites, too.
They tied it to the lone star tick, which despite its Texas-themed name is most common in the eastern and southern U.S. (About 4% of all U.S. cases have been in the eastern end of New York’s Long Island.)
One of the studies released Thursday examined 2017-2022 test results from the main U.S. commercial lab looking for alpha-gal antibodies. They noted the number of people testing positive rose from about 13,000 in 2017 to 19,000 in 2022.
Experts say cases may be up for a variety of reasons, including lone star ticks' expanding range, more people coming into contact with the ticks or more doctors learning about it and ordering tests for it.
But many doctors are not. The second study was a survey last year of 1,500 U.S. primary care doctors and health professionals. The survey found nearly half had never heard of alpha-gal syndrome, and only 5% said they felt very confident they could diagnose it. Researchers used that information to estimate the number of people with the allergy — 450,000.
People with the syndrome can experience symptoms including hives, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, severe stomach pain, difficulty breathing, dizziness and swelling of the lips, throat, tongue or eye lids. Unlike some other food allergies, which occur soon after eating, these reactions hit hours later.
Some patients have only stomach symptoms, and the American Gastroenterological Association says people with unexplained diarrhea, nausea and abdominal pain should be tested for the syndrome.
Doctors counsel people with the allergy to change their diet, carry epinephrine and avoid tick bites.
The allergy can fade away in some people — Commins has seen that happen in about 15% to 20% of his patients. But a key is avoiding being re-bitten.
“The tick bites are central to this. They perpetuate the allergy,” he said.
One of his patients is Heller-Greenman, a 78-year-old New York art historian who spends summers on Martha’s Vineyard. She has grown accustomed to getting bitten by ticks on the island and said she has had Lyme disease four times.
About five years ago, she started experiencing terrible, itchy hives on her back, torso and thighs in the middle of the night. Her doctors concluded it was an allergic reaction, but couldn’t pinpoint the trigger.
She was never a big meat eater, but one day in January 2020 she had a hamburger and then a big, fatty steak the following evening. Six hours after dinner, she woke up nauseated, then suffered terrible spells of vomiting, diarrhea and dizziness. She passed out three times.
She was diagnosed with alpha-gal syndrome shortly after that, and was told to avoid ticks and to stop eating red meat and dairy products. There have been no allergic reactions since.
“I have one grandchild that watches me like a hawk,” she said, making sure she reads packaged food labels and avoids foods that could trigger a reaction.
“I feel very lucky, really, that this has worked out for me,” she said. “Not all doctors are knowledgeable about this.”

NEW YORK, Jan. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bluerock High Income Institutional Credit Fund ("Bluerock High Income Fund" or the "Fund"; tickers: IIMAX, IIMCX, IIMWX) paid its quarterly distribution for the fourth quarter of 2022, as well as a special distribution to shareholders of record as of December 29, 2022. The Q4 distribution represents a 2.02% regular quarterly distribution rate and a 0.61% special distribution rate based on the daily NAV/share of $24.66 over the quarter. Shareholders invested for the entire quarter received a distribution amount of $0.65 per share, or 2.63% for the quarter (I-shares). The special distribution is in line with the Fund's calendar year distribution requirements and is reflective of the significant cash flow generated from the Fund's underlying investments.
"We are very pleased with the total performance of the Fund and its ability to generate substantial income to our shareholders while maintaining a stable NAV/share, particularly in light of the recent market disruption which has negatively impacted many other credit funds," said Jeffrey Schwaber, CEO of Bluerock Capital Markets. "The Fund invests in collateralized loan obligations which are comprised of senior secured loans, which unlike bonds, are structured with floating rate loans allowing investors to participate in the higher residual cash flow being generated in today's rising interest rate environment," added Schwaber.
Net assets under management for the Bluerock High Income Fund are approximately $85 million as of December 30, 2022. The Fund currently maintains positions in 12 collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) with exposure to 931 underlying senior secured loans with an underlying loan value in excess of $6 billion across multiple industries (holdings as of 9.30.2022 and are subject to change at any time and should not be considered investment advice).
Bluerock HI Credit Fund I-Share Fund Net Performance
*The Fund's distribution policy is to make quarterly distributions to shareholders. The level of quarterly distributions (including any return of capital) is not fixed, but is expected to represent an annual rate of approximately 8.0% of the Fund's current net asset value per share. Such distributions are accrued daily and paid quarterly. The distribution policy is subject to change. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. All or a portion of the distributions may constitute a return of capital based on the character of the distributions received from the underlying holdings, primarily CLO equity. The final determination of the source and tax characteristics of all distributions will be made after the end of the year. Shareholders should note that return of capital will reduce the tax basis of their shares and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any, upon disposition of their shares. Once a shareholder's tax basis is reduced to zero, any further return of capital would be taxable.
The performance data quoted here represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted above. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For performance information current to the most recent month end, please call toll-free 1-888-459-1059. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
The total annual fund operating expense ratio, gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements, is 3.04% for Class A, 3.79% for Class C, and 2.79% for Class I. The Fund's investment advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the fund, at least until January 31, 2024 for Class A, C, and I shares, to ensure that the net annual fund operating expenses will not exceed 2.60% for Class A, 3.35% for Class C and 2.35% for Class I, per annum of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, and Class I, respectively, subject to possible recoupment from the Fund in future years. Please review the Fund's Prospectus for more detail on the expense waiver. A fund's performance, especially for very short periods of time, should not be the sole factor in making your investment decisions. Fund performance and distributions are presented net of fees.

The Fund seeks to accomplish its objectives by investing, directly and indirectly, in private credit through actively managed pools of diversified Senior Secured Loans known as Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs). The Fund has partnered with WhiteStar Asset Management, LLC, whose management team has overseen the issuance of $40 billion in CLOs since 2001, to serve as sub-advisor to the Fund. An investment in the Fund seeks to provide investors with the following potential benefits across various market cycles. The minimum investment in the Fund is $2,500 ($1,000 for retirement plans) for Class A and C shares.

Risk Disclosures
Not FDIC Insured | No Bank Guarantee | May Lose Value
Investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment, and that you may lose part or all of your investment. This is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation to purchase any security.
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, sales charges and expenses of the Bluerock High Income Institutional Credit Fund. This and other important information about the Fund is contained in the prospectus, which can be obtained by visiting bluerock.com/hi-fund/documents. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective depends, in part, on the ability of the Advisor and Sub-Advisor to allocate effectively the assets of the Fund among the various available investment opportunities. There can be no assurance that the actual allocations will be effective in achieving the Fund's investment objective or delivering positive returns. There is no guarantee that the Fund's investment strategies will work under all market conditions. Statements relating to the performance of the Fund contained herein are historical and the Fund's performance subsequent to the date as of which such statements were made may differ materially. Updated performance data for the Fund is available at bluerockfunds.com/performance.
Please note that the performance data relating to various indices included herein is for informational purposes only. You cannot invest directly in an index. Index performance does not represent actual fund or portfolio performance. Performance of a fund or portfolio may differ significantly from the performance of index holding the same securities. Index performance assumes reinvestment of dividends but does not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or other expenses that would be incurred by a fund or portfolio, or brokerage commissions on transactions in fund shares. Such fees, expenses, and commissions would likely reduce returns.
The Fund is a closed-end interval fund, the shares have no history of public trading, nor is it intended that the shares will be listed on a public exchange at this time. No secondary market is expected to develop for the Fund's shares. Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the Fund's quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of the Fund's shares outstanding at net asset value. There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a quarterly repurchase offer. Quarterly repurchases by the Fund of its shares typically will be funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. The sale of securities to fund repurchases could reduce the market price of those securities, which in turn would reduce the Fund's net asset value. The Fund is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of the Fund and should be viewed as a long-term investment.
Investors in the Fund should understand that the net asset value ("NAV") of the Fund will fluctuate, which means the value of your shares at any point in time may be worth less than the value of your original investment, even after taking into account any reinvestment of dividends and distributions. An investment in shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The Fund is "non-diversified" under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and therefore may invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of one or more issuers. As such, changes in the financial condition or market value of a single issuer may cause a greater fluctuation in the Fund's net asset value than in a "diversified" fund. The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program.
Because the Fund invests primarily in debt-anchored instruments and securities, the value of your investment in the Fund may fluctuate with changes in interest rates. The Fund may invest in senior secured debt and CLOs. Substantial increases in interest rates may cause an increase in loan defaults and the value of the Fund's assets may also be affected by other uncertainties such as economic developments affecting the market for senior secured term loans or uncertainties affecting borrowers generally. There is a risk that the borrowers under the Senior Secured Loans may not make scheduled interest and/or principal payments on their loans and/or debt securities, which may result in losses or reduced cash flow to the Fund, either or both of which may cause the NAV of, or the distributions by, the Fund to decrease. CLOs carry additional risks, including but not limited to (i) the possibility that the Fund's investments in CLOs are subordinate to other classes or tranches thereof; and (iv) the complex structure of the CLO investment may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer, holders of senior tranches or other unexpected investment results. In addition, the nature of the Fund's investment strategy also subjects it to various risks, including credit risk (the debtor may default), liquidity risk (the investment may not be able to be sold at an advantageous time or price) and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). All potential investors should read the Risk Factors section of the prospectus for additional information related to the risks associated with an investment in the Fund.

Dark comes early this time of year in Tupper Lake, a mountain village in northern New York not far from the Canadian border.
But as we set off across a snow-covered bridge, the path is luminous, decked in glittering white bulbs.
"It's pretty and magical and there are pools of light reflecting down on the snow," says my friend Catherine Seidenberg, who bundled up to make the walk with me.
The path follows the edge of a frozen pond into shadowy forest. There among towering white pines we find luminous washes of yellow, rose and silver.
When you think holiday lights, that usually means a neighbor's house lit up like a cruise ship, or a downtown street transformed by color.
But this is the Wild Center, a nature museum deep in the Adirondack Mountains.
Each winter the staff creates a light display in the woods above the icy Raquette River. Beyond the river stretches the vast High Peaks Wilderness.
The museum also enlists a composer to make dreamy, ethereal music that plays softly on speakers among the trees.
"They've got this music playing and it's just nice to get away and enjoy a walk together and, you know, get a little peace," says Bonnie Durbin, who strolls arm-in-arm through the pools of light with her husband Gil.
It's cold. You can see your breath in the colored light. There are people everywhere in heavy coats and mittens.
"The crunch of the snow, it's just gorgeous, it's just a Christmas scene," says Terry Low. She walks close with her husband Ralph, keeping each other warm.
"We recently had about two feet of snow, so all the trees are beautiful," Ralph says.
We walk on deeper into the woods, to a place where more people are gathered, their faces glowing in the light.
A sculptor has woven branches and twigs into what looks like a big beautiful nest, covered in snow and decked in more white bulbs.
"It's mesmerizing," says Jocelyn Dubrey. "There's so much to look at all at once."
She's come with her friend Skyler Spoor, both bundled up against the cold, grinning like they've found a secret treasure.
""It's honestly magical," Skyler says. "This place feels blissful."
The small crowds is mostly quiet, lot of people holding each other as they look.
Outside this little circle of light, the woods are black. Wilderness stretches away in every direction, icy and still. But here in the glow it feels a little like church.
"Wild Lights" at the Wild Center museum in Tupper Lake New York is open to the public 5-8 pm through February 25th. Click here for details, admission prices and more information.

Johnson & Johnson is pulling baby powder containing talc worldwide next year after it did the same in the U.S. and Canada amid thousands of lawsuits claiming it caused cancer.
Talc will be replaced by cornstarch, the company said.
The company has faced litigation alleging its talcum powder caused users to develop ovarian cancer, through use for feminine hygiene, or mesothelioma, a cancer that strikes the lungs and other organs.
J&J insists, and the overwhelming majority of medical research on talc indicates, that the talc baby powder is safe and doesn’t cause cancer.
However, demand for the company's baby powder fell off, and J&J removed the talc-based product in most of North America in 2020.
The company did so after it saw demand drop due to “misleading talc litigation advertising that caused global confusion and unfounded concern,” about product safety a company spokeswoman said.
J&J said the change announced late Thursday will simplify its product selection and meet evolving global trends.
Last October, J&J said a separate subsidiary it created to manage talc litigation claims had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
J&J said then that it funded the subsidiary, named LTL Management, and established a $2 billion trust to pay claims the bankruptcy court determines that it owes.
The health care giant also said last fall that it will turn its consumer health business — which sells the baby powder, Band-Aids and other products — into a separate publicly traded company. The part of the company selling prescription drugs and medical devices will keep the J&J name.
Shares of Johnson & Johnson, based in New Brunswick, New Jersey, rose slightly before the opening bell Friday. The stock has performed better than the Dow Jones Industrial Average, of which J&J is a member, for most of the year.

MONTREAL — Evgenii Dadonov scored twice and Samuel Montembeault made 24 saves to help the Montreal Canadiens beat the Central Division-leading Winnipeg Jets 4-1 on Tuesday night.
Kyle Connor scored his 200th NHL goal, connecting on a power play early in the second period to open the scoring for Winnipeg.
Connor Hellebuyck made 24 saves for the Jets.
Montreal scored three times in the second.
After missing an opportunity from the slot, Dadonov took Barron’s pass from the slot and whipped in a one-timer to tie it. Montreal took the lead when Hoffman beat Hellebuyck with a wrist shot, and Dadonov made it 3-1 off a rebound.
Anderson completed the scoring in the third.

What is comfort food? And what is comfort food in Midwestern food culture?
Those are questions chefs Ben Hunter and Kyle Kiepert asked themselves when they came up with the idea for the Midwest Comfort Food Festival, a two-day event that features a kick-off Hmong barbecue event on Friday (which has since sold out) and a Saturday event featuring six celebrated Madison-area chefs.
The main event on Saturday, June 24 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Seven Acre Dairy Co. will feature comfort food dishes from chefs Dan Cornelius (Yowela Farms), Yusuf Bin-Rella (Trade Roots), David Rodriguez (Taco Local), Francesca Hong and Matt Morris (Morris Ramen), and Ben Hunter and Kyle Kiepert (Seven Acre).
The $60 (plus tax and fees) ticket includes the six signature dishes and a build-your-own sundae bar, and there will be a cash bar for alcoholic and N/A drinks. The event (located at 6858 Paoli Road, Belleville) also features artist booths and music from Down from the Hills bluegrass band.
The menu features:
Fire-roasted squash filled with Haudenosauneee white flour corn and beans and a box elder syrup (from Cornelius)
Blackened walleye with heritage grits (from Bin-Rella)
Smoked brisket gorditas (from Rodriguez)
Veal brats with ssamjang, perilla leaves, and black rice (from Hong and Morris)
Grape jelly meatballs and funeral potatoes (from Hunter and Kiepert)
Tamarind glaze beef with Khoa sen noodles and woods ear mushrooms (from Vang)
Vang, a James Beard-nominated chef from Minneapolis, is also serving Hmong barbecue at the Friday kick-off event, inspired by his recent rip to Thailand and his family's outdoor gatherings in the summer.
“To me, the idea of comfort food is universal, though its meaning shifts across culture, class, and place, especially here in the Midwest. I can’t wait to cook at the Midwest Comfort Food Festival and to shine light on what comfort food means to me and to who I am as a Latino in the Midwest,” says David Rodriguez, owner of Taco Local on Williamson Street in Madison.

Friday’s Mega Millions jackpot will top $1.3 billion for just the second time in the history of the lottery.
While the winner is set to make a considerable fortune, other groups stand to make a lot as well.
According to the National Association of State and Provincial Lotteries, U.S. lotteries generated over $98 billion in revenue. Of that amount, $63 billion, or about 65 percent, was returned to winners. Over $28 billion are paid out to various beneficiaries of lotteries. In many states, those funds are strictly allocated to public schools.
In some areas, those funds are distributed to the state’s general fund, which can be used for practically any purpose of government.
A small amount of the funds also go to the operation of the lottery. Retailers also can claim prizes for selling large winning tickets.
In general, lotteries might have large payouts, but the chances of making money off the lottery are slim. For every $100 a person spends on the lottery, they could expect a $65 return, meaning they would be out $35. The chances of winning Friday's Mega Millions jackpot stand at about one in 302 million.

Search for Missing Wildwood Swimmer Now a Recovery Mission
Crews will resume searching for a missing swimmer in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Wildwood this morning. Officials say it is now a recovery mission.
The mission, which began after 4 pm Tuesday, came after a call saying that several swimmers were in distress south of the Wildwoods Convention Center, near the Andrews Avenue beach.
According to 6 ABC, Wildwood Fire Chief Ernie Troiano said one swimmer made it out on his own and two others were rescued in the early going of the operation.
"It sounded like they were trying to swim back in, may have been caught in a rip (current). Instead of going parallel with the beach and letting it spit you out and then coming in, they might have been trying to fight against it and they got overcome."
The search continued until dark for a fourth swimmer who authorities identified as a male. Wildwood fire crews estimated that the missing swimmer was as far as 200 yards out in the ocean when he ran into trouble. That is an extremely dangerous distance.
At one point, rescuers resorted to forming a human chain and walked through the ocean searching for the man.
The operation included U.S. Coast Guard boats and a helicopter, along with local marine units and a sonar boat.
The missing swimmer has not been identified.
Officials remind everyone that the beaches aren't fully staffed with lifeguards at this point in the season. You should never swim without a lifeguard present.

NEW YORK, July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against IonQ, Inc. ("IonQ" or the "Company") (NYSE: IONQ) and certain of its former officers. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, and docketed under 22-cv-01536, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired IonQ securities between March 30, 2021 and May 2, 2022, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Plaintiff pursues claims against the Defendants under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
If you are a shareholder who purchased or otherwise acquired IonQ securities during the Class Period, you have until August 1, 2022 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of shares purchased.
IonQ claims to "develop quantum computers designed to solve the world's most complex problems."
On or about September 30, 2021, IonQ became a public entity via business combination with dMY Technology Group, Inc. III, a special purpose acquisition company.
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that IonQ had not yet developed a 32-qubit quantum computer; (2) that the Company's 11-qubit quantum computer suffered from significant error rates, rendering it useless; (3) that IonQ's quantum computer is not sufficiently reliable, so it is not accessible despite being available through major cloud providers; (4) that a significant portion of IonQ's revenue was derived from improper round-tripping transactions with related parties; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
On May 3, 2022, Scorpion Capital released a research report alleging, among other things, that IonQ is a "scam built on phony statements about nearly all key aspects of the technology and business." It further claimed that the Company reported "[f]ictitious 'revenue' via sham transactions and related-party round-tripping."
On this news, the Company's stock fell $0.71, or 9.03%, to close at $7.15 per share on May 3, 2022, on unusually heavy trading volume.
Pomerantz LLP, with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Paris, and Tel Aviv, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, Pomerantz pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 85 years later, Pomerantz continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomlaw.com

PARAMOUNT, Calif., Dec. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This holiday season, the Orange County nonprofit SkillsetGives is making sure students from Paramount Unified have the resources to pursue any career they want.
The non-profit donated $5,000 this month to the scholarship organization Paramount Education Partnership (PEP). The funds ultimately came from LA's generous business community via the SkillsetGives Inaugural Charity Golf Tournament in August.
Paramount resident, PEP Board member and SkillsetGroup CMO Jose Baca said PEP's commitment to scholarships for all high-achieving students in need is what attracted support from SkillsetGives.
Many similar organizations leave out students who want to pursue skilled trades, he said.
"We're proud of all our scholarship recipients, whether they choose a trade, community college or a four-year school," Baca said. "For some of these kids, getting even $1,000 together isn't an option, but $1,000 can pay for an entire welding or electrician certification. This is where PEP makes the most difference; demand for these trades is growing every year."
The Paramount Education Partnership includes the City of Paramount, the Paramount Chamber of Commerce and the Paramount Unified School District. Each year, with funds collected from local donors, the board selects dozens of PUSD scholarship recipients based on an application and essay, as well as financial need.
"Building thriving communities to end homelessness is the mission of SkillsetGives," said Clint Armstrong, founder and CEO of SkillsetGroup, the staffing company that owns and operates SkillsetGives. "Access to training and education is foundational to escaping deep, generational poverty that can lead to homelessness."
In 2022, PEP awarded 46 scholarships totaling $141,000. More than $1.52 million has been given to students through 497 scholarships since the program began.
SkillsetGives is a charity wholly owned and operated by SkillsetGroup. The mission of SkillsetGives is to build thriving communities to end homelessness. SkillsetGroup staffing and consulting company, founded in 2013, has offices and clients throughout the U.S. SkillsetGroup specializes in staffing IT, accounting, engineering, skilled labor and many other positions, nationwide. The Orange County, Calif.-based firm appeared on the Inc. 5000 fastest-growing private companies list for a fourth time in 2022. SkillsetGroup's mission is to build a culture of retention for its clients.

Milwaukee neighborhood covered in demolition dust
Residents worried about what they are breathing in
Residents worried about what they are breathing in
Residents worried about what they are breathing in
Demolition is ongoing at the iconic former Froedtert malt silos in West Milwaukee, but nearby residents say the work of the wrecking ball is leaving them under a cloud of dust.
"I got the stuff right in my eyes. My eyes were all full of this grit," said Judy Radonski, who has lived across the street from the massive silos for 50 years.
"I am worried about it. I'm worried about myself. I'm worried about the kids in the neighborhood," Radonski told WISN 12 News.
Neighbor Edgar Daleccio pointed to several dust-covered homes and cars on his block, telling WISN 12 News, "This is all the grit that's coming from over there, and into our lungs."
Daleccio says he has been in contact with West Milwaukee Village officials, Milwaukee city leaders and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in trying to get help to limit the dust. The challenge, he says, is one of jurisdiction. The demolition is happening in the Village of West Milwaukee, but the dust is settling on homes across the street in the city of Milwaukee.
The company handling the demolition did not immediately respond to WISN 12 News request for comment Monday, but work crews were seen briefly hosing down the demolition site several times Monday, apparently to limit the dust. Neighbors, though, worry that won't be enough to ease their concerns.
"I'm worried about what we're breathing in," Daleccio said. "My family, our neighbors, friends, even our animals, our dogs, you know?"
Officials in both the Milwaukee and West Allis/West Milwaukee Health Departments tell WISN 12 News they have not been contacted directly by the residents, but are aware of the neighbors' concerns about the demolition dust.

NEW YORK (AP) — George Winston, the Grammy-winning pianist who blended jazz, classical, folk and other stylings on such million-selling albums as “Autumn,” “Winter Into Spring” and “December,” has died at age 73.
According to an announcement on his website www.georgewinston.com, confirmed by a spokesman, Winston died Sunday after a 10-year battle with cancer.
“Throughout his cancer treatments, George continued to write and record new music, and he stayed true to his greatest passion: performing for live audiences while raising funds for Feeding America to help fight the national hunger crisis along with donating proceeds from each of his concerts to local food banks,” a statement on his website reads.
His most recent album, “Night,” came out last year.
Winston was a native of Hart, Michigan, who grew up in Montana, Florida and Mississippi and drew upon influences ranging from Fats Waller to the Doors. He released more than a dozen solo piano albums, along with soundtracks for the TV miniseries “This Is America, Charlie Brown” and “The Velveteen Rabbit,” which featured Meryl Streep’s narration of the children’s classic. His 1995 release “Forest” won a Grammy for best New Age recording, while his Doors tribute “Night Divides the Day” received a Grammy nomination in 2004 for best contemporary instrumental album.
“I came up with the melodic style that I play in 1971, and I have always called it ‘Folk Piano,’ (or more accurately ‘Rural Folk Piano’), since it is melodic and not complicated in its approach, like folk guitar picking and folk songs, and has a rural sensibility,” reads a quote from a “Q & A” section on his web site.
“I just play the songs the best I can, inspired by the seasons and the topographies and regions, and, occasionally, by sociological elements, and try to improve as a player over time.”

DALLAS — Since St. Vincent de Paul Pharmacy opened its doors in 2018, it's been busy and growing. It's the first charitable pharmacy in Texas and continues to provide free medications for uninsured and low-income residents.
In five years, more than 200,000 prescriptions have been filled at this Dallas pharmacy. That's equivalent to $55 million worth of medications. They have served more than 5,500 patients.
The initial goal was to provide services for nine counties in North Texas. They now serve patients across the state.
Carlos Irula is the pharmacist in charge at St. Vincent de Paul Pharmacy. He said, "The need is still great. Over five million Texans are uninsured."
He is proud of the work they have done, but wants to help more people.
Donations keeps the pharmacy running. Irula said it's the reason they now carry 200 types of medications, and the reason they have a prescription filling machine to help keep up with demand.
"Every dollar that comes in here is going to the community. It's going to the logistics of getting someone their insulin in El Paso or getting their medications in San Antonio or Houston or even within Dallas," said Irula.
A medication like Trulicity, a diabetic injectable, is an example of the impact this pharmacy has. St. Vincent de Paul Pharmacy provides 90 days worth of the medication at no charge.
He said, "If someone is uninsured and they were to walk into their grocery store pharmacy or retail pharmacy, they would be paying about $2,500."
Texans who are uninsured and 300% below the federal poverty line can qualify for free medications. Click here to apply for St. Vincent de Paul Pharmacy services.

KENTON, OH (WLIO) - Ohio Supreme Court Justice Michael Donnelly returns to Hardin County for the Democratic party's Presidents' Day luncheon. Saturday afternoon Hardin County Democrats came together to discuss the different issues currently happening within the State of Ohio. Many guest speakers gave presentations regarding topics such as abolishing capital punishment and unfair treatment within the state's justice system. Judge Donnelly was the keynote speaker and he talked about the questionable events he's seen throughout his career and how he plans to stop them from occurring in the future.
“I've been traveling around the state advocating for a centralized database for sentencing,” says Justice Donnelly. “So, judges can carry out their statutory duties to treat people, similarly situated defendants with similar sentences. We don't have a lot of data; we have 88 counties and I'd like to see the judges in the state have that information so that they can make fair decisions.”
Donnelly has been a justice on the Ohio Supreme Court since 2019.

NYC probes battery-linked fire that injured over 3 dozen
NEW YORK (AP) — Authorities are investigating a New York City high-rise fire that injured over three dozen people and was traced to a faulty lithium-ion battery. The Red Cross said Sunday it provided temporary lodging and some emergency funds to two people displaced by Saturday’s fire. The blaze spurred a dramatic rope rescue 20 stories above Manhattan’s East 52nd Street. Officials are looking into whether the 37-story apartment building had a fire alarm, among other questions. Authorities have pinpointed the cause of the blaze as a lithium-ion battery related to a “micromobility” device, a term that can refer to e-bikes and electric scooters.

Tennessee is defending itself against the NCAA’s Level I charge of failing to monitor the football program, saying former coach Jeremy Pruitt and nine others fired “repeatedly deceived” administrators and compliance staff overseeing the program.
“The University respectfully submits that it is unrealistic to expect an institution to prevent, or immediately detect, the intentional and concealed misconduct that occurred in this case,” Tennessee wrote in the 108-page response dated Monday and obtained first by Knox News on Thursday.
Tennessee started an internal investigation following a tip on Nov. 13, 2020, and found what the university chancellor called “serious violations of NCAA rules.” Pruitt and nine others were fired for cause in January 2021, negating Pruitt’s $12.6 million buyout after he went 16-19 in three seasons.
NCAA investigators opened a case in December 2020 and became more involved within the two weeks before Pruitt was fired.
The NCAA notified Tennessee in July of the most-serious Level 1 violations for allegations of providing impermissible cash, gifts and benefits worth about $60,000 to football recruits and their families under Pruitt. The notice of allegations said at least a dozen members of Pruitt’s staff were involved in more than 200 individual violations over a two-year period.
The university argued in is response that it “demonstrated its unparalleled commitment to integrity” led by Chancellor Donde Plowman in investigating and holding everyone accountable while protecting athletes from suffering the consequences.
The university mirror-imaged football staffers’ cellphones, leading to information the NCAA noted in July that helped substantiate the alleged violations. Security footage from a Knoxville hotel also was included.
In addition to Pruitt, Tennessee fired two assistants and seven members of the recruiting and support staff. Pruitt, three of his assistants and three other staffers could face show-cause penalties making it difficult for them to get another college job after a hearing is held with the NCAA’s Division I Committee on Infractions.
“The factual information in this case demonstrates that experienced football coaches and non-coaching staff members knowingly violated longstanding and universally understood NCAA rules and went to considerable lengths to conceal their misconduct,” Tennessee wrote in its response.
The university noted recruiting visits were monitored using industry standards, including “embedding an experienced compliance staff member in the program.”
Tennessee’s response also cited eight specific cases for precedent where universities either self-imposed penalties or had aggravating circumstances, as well as NCAA notes from meetings in April and May on transforming its own rules for name, image and likeness and the transfer portal.
The university argued that Tennessee’s infractions case will go before the Division I Committee on Infractions at a time of significant transformation in how college athletics and infractions are handled.
“Intercollegiate athletics looks dramatically different today than when the University commenced this investigation more than two years ago,” Tennessee’s response said.
Tennessee wrapped up its investigation last November and announced then it wouldn’t self-impose a bowl ban to avoid penalizing current players and coaches.
New athletic director Danny White, who replaced Phillip Fulmer, hired Josh Heupel in late January 2021.
The Volunteers (9-2, 5-2 Southeastern Conference) currently are ranked ninth and can clinch their first 10-win record in the regular season since 2001 with a win Saturday night at Vanderbilt.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip were exchanging fire Saturday in the worst bout of cross-border violence since an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas last year.
Israeli airstrikes have killed 11 people, including a senior commander from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, an Iran-backed militant group, who was slain in a targeted attack.
That came following the arrest this week of another senior Islamic Jihad leader in the West Bank in what’s been a monthslong Israeli operation to round up Palestinians suspected of attacks.
Militants have fired dozens of rockets at Israeli cities and towns, disrupting life for tens of thousands of people.
Here’s a look at the latest round of violence:
IN HAMAS’ SHADOW
Islamic Jihad is the smaller of the two main Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip, and is vastly outnumbered by the ruling Hamas group. But it enjoys direct financial and military backing from Iran, and has become the driving force in engaging in rocket attacks and other confrontations with Israel.
Hamas, which seized control of Gaza in 2007 from the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority, is often limited in its ability to act because it bears responsibility for running day-to-day affairs of the impoverished territory. Islamic Jihad has no such duties and has emerged as the more militant faction, occasionally even undermining Hamas’ authority.
The group was founded in 1981 with the aim of establishing an Islamic Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and all of what is now Israel. It is designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department, European Union and other governments. Like Hamas, Islamic Jihad is sworn to Israel’s destruction.
THE IRANIAN CONNECTION
Israel’s archenemy Iran supplies Islamic Jihad with training, expertise and money, but most of the group’s weapons are locally produced. In recent years, it has developed an arsenal equal to that of Hamas, with longer-range rockets capable of striking central Israel’s Tel Aviv metropolitan area. Air raid sirens went off in the suburbs just south of Tel Aviv on Friday, although no rockets appear to have hit the area.
Although its base is Gaza, Islamic Jihad also has leadership in Beirut and Damascus, where it maintains close ties with Iranian officials.
Ziad al-Nakhalah, the group’s top leader, was in Tehran meeting Iranian officials when Israel began its operation in Gaza on Friday.
TARGETING COMMANDERS
This isn’t the first time Israel has killed Islamic Jihad leaders in Gaza. The commander it killed Friday, Taiseer al-Jabari, replaced Bahaa Abu el-Atta who was slain by Israel in a 2019 strike. His death had been the first high-profile assassination of an Islamic Jihad figure by Israel since the 2014 war in the Gaza Strip.
Al-Jabari, 50, was a member of Islamic Jihad’s “military council,” the group’s decision-making body in Gaza. He was in charge of the Islamic Jihad militant activities in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip during the 2021 war. Israel said he was preparing to launch an anti-tank missile attack against Israel.
His death came on the heels of the arrest by Israel of a senior Islamic Jihad commander in the West Bank earlier this week. Bassam al-Saadi, 62, is a senior Islamic Jihad official in the northern West Bank. According to Israeli media, al-Saadi was working to deepen the group’s reach in the West Bank and expand its capabilities.
Al-Saadi spent a total of 15 years over several stints in Israeli jails for being an active Islamic Jihad member. Israel killed two of his sons who were also Islamic Jihad militants in separate incidents in 2002, and destroyed his home during a fierce battle in the West Bank city of Jenin the same year.
“Once you will hit the commanders it will affect immediately all the organization,” said Zvika Haimovich, the former head of the Israeli military’s air defense force.
“It immediately creates a big mess in the Jihad.”
A DELICATE BALANCE
Since seizing power in 2007, Hamas has fought four wars with Israel, often with support from Islamic Jihad fighters. Aside from a flare-up earlier this year, the border has largely been quiet since last year’s 11-day war and Hamas appears to be staying on the sidelines of this current conflagration, which might keep it from spilling over into all-out war.
Islamic Jihad militants have challenged Hamas by firing rockets, often without claiming responsibility, to raise its profile among Palestinians while Hamas maintains the cease-fire. Israel holds Hamas responsible for all rocket fire coming from Gaza.
Hamas must walk a tightrope between restraining Islamic Jihad’s fire at Israel while avoiding the ire of Palestinians if it cracks down on the group. Like in past flare-ups, Hamas will have the final say in how long — and how violent — this round of fighting will last.
CARETAKER LEADER
The current fighting comes as Israel is mired in a protracted political crisis that is sending voters to the polls for the fifth time in less than four years in the fall.
Caretaker leader Yair Lapid took over earlier this summer after the ideologically diverse government he helped form collapsed, triggering the new elections.
Lapid, a centrist former TV host and author, lacks the security background many Israelis see as essential for their leadership. His political fortunes could rest on the current fighting, either gaining a boost if he can portray himself as a capable leader or take a hit from a lengthy operation as Israelis try to enjoy the last weeks of summer.
Lapid hopes to edge out former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a security hawk who is on trial for corruption charges, in the upcoming vote.

Steven Spielberg’s autobiographical coming-of-age drama “The Fabelmans” won the Toronto International Film Festival’s top prize, the People’s Choice Award, solidifying its early status as Academy Awards frontrunner.
Toronto’s audience award was announced Sunday as the largest North American film festival wrapped up its 47th edition and first full-scale gathering in three years. The return of crowds at TIFF brought the world premieres of a number of anticipated crowd pleasers, including the Viola Davis-led “The Woman King,” Rian Johnson’s “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” and Billy Eichner’s “Bros.”
Toronto’s audience award, voted on by festival moviegoers, is a much-watched harbinger of the coming awards season. Each of the last ten years, the TIFF winner has gone on to be nominated for best picture at the Oscars — and often won it. Last year, Kenneth Branagh’s “Belfast” triumphed at a much-diminished hybrid Toronto International Film Festival. The year before that, Chloé Zhao’s “Nomadland” took TIFF’s award before winning at the Academy Awards. Other past winners include “12 Years a Slave,” “La La Land” and “Green Book.”
This year, no film came into the festival more anticipated than “The Fabelmans,” Spielberg’s memory-infused film about his childhood. In the movie, which Universal Pictures will release Nov. 11, Michelle Williams and Paul Dano play the parents, with newcomer Gabriel LaBelle as teenage Spielberg, Sammy Fabelman. The film scored rave reviews after its premiere.
“This is the most personal film I’ve made and the warm reception from everyone in Toronto made my first visit to TIFF so intimate and personal for me and my entire ‘Fabelman’ family,'” Spielberg said in a statement read by Cameron Bailey, festival director.
The first runner-up to the prize was Sarah Polley’s “Woman Talking,” about the female members of a Mennonite colony gathered to discuss years of sexual abuse. The second runner-up went to Johnson’s “Glass Onion,” the director’s whodunit sequel for Netflix.
Audience in other sections of the festival also vote for People’s Choice awards. The festival’s audience prize for documentary went to “Black Ice,” Hubert Davis’ film about the history of Black hockey players executive produced by LeBron James. The midnight section winner was “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” Eric Appel’s music biopic parody co-written with Yankovic and starring Daniel Radcliffe.
“Wow,” said Appel in a statement. “I never in a million years thought that our satire of traditional awards films would actually win an award, itself.”

SEATTLE, Wash. — A dog who gained fame for riding Seattle's city bus alone has died.
According to her owner-run Facebook page, Eclipse, a black lab-bullmastiff mix, died in her sleep Friday, two days after a veterinarian found cancerous tumors. She was 10.
Eclipse gained notoriety in 2015 when she took a King County Metro bus alone to the dog park two to three times a week, The Washington Post reported.
Her owner, Jeff Young, told USA Today that she first did it by sneaking onto the bus alone while he was smoking a cigarette.
Young told the news outlet that she knew which bus to take, the red one, because she'd done it "a million times" to get to the dog park in Belltown.
Soon after, Eclipse gained national attention, leading to her starring in a music video for the song “Bus Doggy Dog," produced by King County Metro, The Post reported.
On its Twitter account, King County Metro paid tribute to Eclipse.
Eclipse was a super sweet, world-famous, bus riding dog and true Seattle icon.
You brought joy and happiness to everyone and showed us all that good dogs belong on the bus. pic.twitter.com/YhSFjNGU05

“Eclipse was a super sweet, world-famous, bus-riding dog and true Seattle icon," the city's public transportation system tweeted. "You brought joy and happiness to everyone and showed us all that good dogs belong on the bus.”
Young, who adopted Eclipse when she was 10 weeks old, told the news outlets that she'd been his best friend for nearly 11 years.
"Missing her doesn't even cover it," he told USA Today.

Doctor who provided abortion for 10-year-old signals she’ll sue Indiana AG
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indianapolis doctor who performed an abortion on a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio took the first step Tuesday toward suing Indiana’s attorney general for defamation.
Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist who gave the girl a medication-induced abortion on June 30, filed a tort claim notice over what she says are false statements that Attorney General Todd Rokita has made about her and her work.
Bernard received widespread attention after she gave an interview to the Indianapolis Star about the child, who traveled to Indiana from Ohio for the abortion. A so-called fetal heartbeat law took effect in Ohio last month after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Such laws ban abortions from the time a fetus’ heartbeat can be detected, which is typically around the sixth week of pregnancy.
A 27-year-old man was charged last week in Columbus, Ohio, with raping the girl, confirming the existence of a case that was initially met with skepticism by some news outlets and Republican politicians.
Bernard’s lawyer, Kathleen DeLaney, filed the “tort claim notice” against Rokita just days after she sent a cease and desist letter. The claim starts a 90-day period for the state to settle it. If it’s not settled, Bernard could file a lawsuit. The claim didn’t say how much money Bernard is seeking, noting that “the harm is ongoing.”
“Mr. Rokita’s false and misleading statements about alleged misconduct by Dr. Bernard in her profession constitute defamation,” the claim reads. “The statements have been and continue to be published by or on behalf of Mr. Rokita and the Office of the Attorney General.”
After the news of the 10-year-old’s abortion broke, Rokita told Fox he would investigate whether Bernard violated child abuse notification or abortion reporting laws. He also said his office would look into whether anything Bernard said to the Indianapolis Star about the girl’s case violated federal medical privacy laws. Rokita offered no specific allegations of wrongdoing.
Records obtained by The Associated Press and local news outlets show that Bernard submitted her report about the girl’s abortion on July 2, which is within Indiana’s required three-day reporting period for an abortion performed on a girl younger than 16.
Rokita did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Indiana Democratic Party criticized Rokita for the impact the lawsuit would have on taxpayers.
“Hoosier taxpayers will now have to pay for Attorney General Todd Rokita’s national smear campaign against a doctor who helped a 10-year-old rape survivor attain a legal and safe abortion,” party spokesperson Drew Anderson wrote in an email.

Though she was born in St. Louis, she’s lived in Milwaukee since 7th grade. Jazz singer Donna Woodall feels deep musical and cultural roots here, considers this home. She grew into a radiant, apple-cheeked purveyor of song who swings like ripe apples on a wind-blown tree. She’s since parachuted far from the tree, a full-fledged artist, perhaps the most active and accomplished female jazz singer working in Milwaukee.
She’ll be honored with a concert at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts on April 2: wilson-center.com/calendar/2023/4/21/wisconsin-artists-club-show-series-donna-woodall-group.
“I attribute my specific love of jazz music to my grandfather, who encouraged me to ‘sit and listen’ to swinging divas, and to my mother, Jeanne Woodall, who performed in Milwaukee jazz circles, leaving behind a legacy of song after her passing in 2011,” she explains. She diversified her performing skills, studying music, dance, and theater at UW-Milwaukee and UW-Madison. Yet, “my mother was my greatest voice teacher—she was a walking encyclopedia of jazz songs and styles.”
Her deepening knowledge, innate musicality and affable personality insinuated her into popular local jazz bands like Eddie Butts, and soon Streetlife, the dynamite jazz-fusion band led by Warren Wiegratz, which played for Milwaukee Bucks crowds for years. So, Woodall can project big, but also charm you with a tender ballad, like “Summertime.” Yet the modal vamp inserted by pianist Theo Merriweather casts a fresh shadow of tension across the languid Gershwin song. This lends strong undercurrents of meaning to a song from a “folk-opera” (Porgy and Bess) about Southern Blacks enduring the early Jim Crow era which, out of context, “Summertime” gauzes over.
Highly Regarded
A measure of Woodall’s regard among the region’s jazz musicians is that Madison-based Hanah Jon Taylor, arguably the state’s premiere jazz saxophonist, has recently visited Milwaukee twice to perform alongside Woodall, at Caroline’s and St. Kate’s nightclub.
Part of that regard surely has to do with her melted-caramel voice and elastic phrasing, reflecting key influences like Sarah Vaughan, Nat King Cole and Cassandra Wilson. There’s also Woodall’s expansive repertoire, which includes personalizing atypical-to-jazz pop music songs, including Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t’ You Worry ‘Bout a Thing,” The Beatles’ “I Feel Fine” (in a jazzy minor-ish key), and even improbably, The Monkees’ “Last Train to Clarksville” about a romantic relationship in its desperate last hours.
What makes a non-jazz song work for her? “The song should have some connection to my life experiences and great lyrics,” she says. “I was an English teacher for years, so the words and meaning of a song are important!” It should also be pliable enough to “be interpreted numerous ways.” It should also have “universal themes, and a sense of nostalgia to which an audience can relate.”
So, they’re usually songs with a deep history, which all the above do. She’s also had an evocative original song, “Fireworks,” accepted by NPR’s Tiny Desk contest.
For all that, she’s also enabled by a close-knit band which, at the Wilson Center, will include pianist-keyboardist Merriweather, guitarist Bob Monagle, bassist Ethan Bender (her husband), and drummer Jeno Somali.
Woodall is a WAMI nominee this year at Jazz Artist, Female Vocalist and Artist of the Year.

TSX and OTCQX: MPVD
TORONTO and NEW YORK, July 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. ("Mountain Province", the "Company") (TSX: MPVD) (OTC: MPVD) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its first analyst site tour since 2019, taking place on Wednesday July 20th. The Company also wishes to announce that it has entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of its outstanding 8.000% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2022 (the "Notes") to repurchase for cancellation approximately US$26.4 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes for an aggregate cash repurchase price of approximately US$25.4 million (collectively, the "Repurchases").
Additionally, the company wishes to provide details for the release of its Q2 2022 earnings release and conference call.
Mountain Province Diamonds hosted a Site Tour to the Gahcho Kué Mine on July 20th, with financial analysts and advisors in attendance. In addition to visiting the active mining/processing areas of Gahcho Kué, the tour also visited the Kelvin Exploration Camp, where all recent exploration activity at the Kennady North Project, as well as the imminent summer 2022 drill program will be executed from. Present at the site tour was covering Equity Research Analyst Kieron Hodgson of Panmure Gordon, a UK-based Investment Bank which has coverage on the Company. Access to his research can be found via equity research portal Research-Tree.com.
The Company cautions that any such research provides a third-party view of the Company and is not endorsed by the Company. The Company will not redistribute third-party reports or otherwise republish or update such reports, but will maintain a list of analysts who cover the Company.
Mark Wall, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"We were extremely pleased to host the financial community for a site tour, the first tour since 2019, and an opportunity for us to showcase the Kennady exploration properties and the Gahcho Kué operations. The tour came on the back of our press release on the growth potential of the Hearn orebody and we continue to focus on mine extension possibilities."
The Company has entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of its outstanding 8.000% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2022 (the "Notes") to repurchase for cancellation approximately US$26.4 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes for an aggregate cash repurchase price of approximately US$25.3 million (collectively, the "Repurchases"). The last of the Repurchases is expected to close on or about July 26, 2022. Following the cancellation of the repurchased Notes, approximately US$273.5 million aggregate principal amounts of Notes will remain outstanding
Mountain Province may from time to time seek to repurchase additional Notes in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as may be determined by the Company and the counterparty and will depend upon prevailing market conditions, the Company's liquidity requirements and other factors.
This news release is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in any jurisdiction.

The disclosure in this news release of scientific and technical information regarding Mountain Province's mineral properties has been reviewed and approved by Matthew MacPhail, P.Eng., MBA, and Tom E. McCandless, Ph.D., P.Geo., both employees of Mountain Province Diamonds and Qualified Persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
This news release contains certain "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" under applicable Canadian and United States securities laws concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to operational hazards, including possible disruption due to pandemic such as COVID-19, its impact on travel, self-isolation protocols and business and operations, estimated production and mine life of the project of Mountain Province; the realization of mineral reserve estimates; the timing and amount of estimated future production; costs of production; the future price of diamonds; the estimation of mineral reserves and resources; the ability to manage debt; capital expenditures; the ability to obtain permits for operations; liquidity; tax rates; and currency exchange rate fluctuations. Except for statements of historical fact relating to Mountain Province, certain information contained herein constitutes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are frequently characterized by words such as "anticipates," "may," "can," "plans," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "targets," "intends," "likely," "will," "should," "to be", "potential" and other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions "may", "should" or "will" occur. Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management at the date the statements are made, and are based on a number of assumptions and subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of Mountain Province and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct.
Factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from results anticipated by such forward-looking statements include the development of operation hazards which could arise in relation to COVID-19, including, but not limited to protocols which may be adopted to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and any impact of such protocols on Mountain Province's business and operations, variations in ore grade or recovery rates, changes in market conditions, changes in project parameters, mine sequencing; production rates; cash flow; risks relating to the availability and timeliness of permitting and governmental approvals; supply of, and demand for, diamonds; fluctuating commodity prices and currency exchange rates, the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry, failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated.
These factors are discussed in greater detail in Mountain Province's most recent Annual Information Form and in the most recent MD&A filed on SEDAR, which also provide additional general assumptions in connection with these statements. Mountain Province cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. Investors and others who base themselves on forward-looking statements should carefully consider the above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risk they entail. Mountain Province believes that the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this news release should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date of this news release.
Although Mountain Province has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Mountain Province undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management's estimates or opinions should change except as required by applicable securities laws. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Statements concerning mineral reserve and resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered as the property is developed.
Further, Mountain Province may make changes to its business plans that could affect its results. The principal assets of Mountain Province are administered pursuant to a joint venture under which Mountain Province is not the operator. Mountain Province is exposed to actions taken or omissions made by the operator within its prerogative and/or determinations made by the joint venture under its terms. Such actions or omissions may impact the future performance of Mountain Province. Under its current note and revolving credit facilities Mountain Province is subject to certain limitations on its ability to pay dividends on common stock. The declaration of dividends is at the discretion of Mountain Province's Board of Directors, subject to the limitations under the Company's debt facilities, and will depend on Mountain Province's financial results, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

LIMA, OH (WLIO) - El Niño is back for the first time in four years, and it's likely to cause more extreme weather across the country. Meteorologist Nathan Kitchens discusses what that might mean for our area.
Changes are among us! The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) officially declared an El Niño climate pattern has developed. We started the year with La Niña conditions, associated with cooler-than-normal water temperatures in the eastern and central Equatorial Pacific. The pattern has taken a dramatic swing to El Niño conditions, represented by warmer-than-normal waters in this area.
"After the triple dip La Niña that everyone talked about, I think most folks knew that the writing was on the wall that we probably weren't going to see another La Niña and perhaps El Niño was the answer to that," said Kyle Brown, National Weather Service Northern Indiana.
How does an El Niño develop? It has to do with the trade winds in the pacific ocean near the equator. When those easterly winds slow and shift directions, that pushes warmer waters east from Asia toward the west coast of South America. This results in warming the air masses above it, impacting the jet stream position & strength. This change means shifts in temperature and precipitation conditions on a global scale.
The meteorologists at NOAA give the current El Niño a 56% chance of developing into a strong event. This tells us that El Niño is likely to play a significant role in weather patterns. El Niño episodes tend to have the most noticeable impacts on weather during the winter season. In a typical El Niño, areas from southern California through the gulf coast will experience wetter and cooler conditions compared to normal. On the flip side, the northern U.S. is usually milder and drier thanks to a split jet stream, limiting moisture in these areas.
For our local area, we looked at analog years that featured a developing El Niño during the summer. We found that two-thirds of those years brought cooler-than-normal conditions during the summer season. Based on recent trends, it would seem realistic that cooler conditions could be a reality for summer 2023. Precipitation trends in the summer were highly variable with no real signal to follow. How about the winter? The signal becomes stronger for milder-than-normal temperatures and below-normal moisture in our area. This could be welcome news for another tame winter, but the forecast is far from etched in stone. There are many factors beyond El Niño that are unpredictable this far in advance.
"This sounds really wishy-washy and the reason for that is there are other circulations and other teleconnections that are at play as well. That's why we start with El Niño to give us this idea of what our broader winter weather pattern might look like. As we get closer, we have time to fine-tune the forecast and the expectations," added Brown.

A 54-year-old Trevor man is facing charges after being accused of sexually assaulting a woman.
Ike D. Miller III was charged Thursday with two counts of felony second-degree sexual assault, felony false imprisonment and misdemeanors of battery in Kenosha County Circuit Court.
Miller was set to make his initial appearance at Intake Court Thursday afternoon.
According to the criminal complaint, on July 2 around 10:20 p.m. a Kenosha County Sheriff's Department deputy on patrol stopped at the intersection of County Highway SA and Camp Lake Road in Salem Lakes when he reportedly observed two people standing in the doorway to the Kickstand Bar, 9622 Camp Lake Road. The deputy saw them briefly interact and then observed the man "grab (the woman) and pull her into the bar and then close the door."
The deputy did not observe any of the interior lights come on and after waiting a few moments the deputy requested another deputy respond to further investigate who the two people at the bar were as it looked closed. The deputy then approached the bar on foot and looked through one of the front door windows and reportedly observed Miller and the woman at the end of the bar looking at each other. The deputy then knocked on the door and shown a light inside to identify himself.

While inside the bar the woman reportedly barely looked at the deputy, did not reply to his questions and seemed scared, according to the complaint. When questioned by the deputy if she was O.K. the woman "immediately shook her head from side to side stating 'No' she was not okay," according to the complaint. The woman reportedly mouthed the words "help me."
When deputies requested Miller go outside so they could speak with the woman Miller allegedly reached into his right pants pocket for a knife. Deputies immediately addressed the knife and prevented Miller from opening it. Miller was reportedly highly intoxicated at the time.
Deputies noted that as soon as Miller grabbed the knife the woman started to cry.
When questioned by deputies Miller reportedly said he was closing his bar when a deputy arrived and said the woman was a "possible girlfriend." He also accused deputies of hassling him.
The woman told deputies, according to the complaint, that Miller sexually assaulted her after he invited her to have a drink with him. She also said Miller refused to allow her to leave before and after the alleged assault inside the bar.
Miller reportedly denied assaulting the woman and told deputies that he had hoped to take her home for the night.
Miller, who was the bar owner, was arrested.

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — United States midfielder Christian Pulisic hopes to play against the Netherlands in the round of 16 at the World Cup on Saturday after bruising his pelvic bone while scoring in the 1-0 win over Iran.
Pulisic said he was going to consult with the medical staff in the hope of joining Thursday’s training session.
“I will do everything in my power to work with this medical team and make sure I can play,” he said.
Pulisic said he took a knee to the pelvic bone and not the genitals. Pulisic was in pain when he sprawled on the field after colliding with Iran goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand on Tuesday.

Videos show gunman saying ‘kill me’ to onrushing officers in New Mexico rampage that killed 3
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Videos released Thursday of this week’s deadly rampage in northwest New Mexico recorded a voice said to be the shooter urging police to “kill me” and officers rushing toward the 18-year-old gunman before fatally shooting him outside a church.
“He is yelling on the Ring footage, ‘Come kill me,’” Farmington Police Chief Steve Hebbe said of Beau Wilson, the high school senior who authorities say killed three older women during the attack.
“He’s making a stand, he has opportunities to run off, he does not use those opportunities,” Hebbe said. “So yes it’s my belief that ultimately in his head, he has made the decision that he is going to stand and fight it out until he is killed.”
Three older woman were killed Monday by the shooter, including a mother and daughter who happened to be driving through the neighborhood. The victims were identified as longtime Farmington residents Gwendolyn Schofield, 97, her 73-year-old daughter, Melody Ivie, and 79-year-old Shirley Voita.
At least six other people were wounded in the shootings, which sent waves of grief rippling through the community of 50,000 people. They included two police officers, who have been released from medical care as they recover.
Hebbe’s comments mirrored an account from witness Candi Brammell, who lives next to the church and told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday that the gunman seemed to be egging police on, saying: “Come on!”
Brammell said she couldn’t believe what she was seeing as Wilson opened fire. Within an instant, he was exchanging shots with the police and then was down in the grass.
Wilson lived with his father in a home that contained an arsenal of weapons and ammunition, apparently legally owned, according to law enforcement authorities. He bought an assault-style rifle last year after he turned 18.
On Monday, police say, he began shooting indiscriminately with the rifle from the front porch area of the home.
The first person hit was Voita, a retired nurse who was driving by. Video released by police showed her car rolling down the street with the door open after she managed to get out. Video also showed the path of a vehicle carrying Schofield and Ivie, who stopped to help.
“They see something in the road, which turns out to be (Voita), and they’re in the process of pulling over” when another hail of gunfire erupts, Hebbe said, narrating the images. “At that time we believe all those rounds are fired from (the rifle).”
Police say Wilson soon dropped the weapon into some bushes even though it still held more live ammunition.
Wilson then walked down the street for about a quarter mile, spraying bullets indiscriminately using two pistols. He discharged a .22-caliber gun and then depleted rounds from a 9-mm weapon in the final shootout with police, during which he let off at least 18 rounds.
He wore what appeared to be a modified protective vest with steel plates, but authorities say he discarded the vest before the shootout with police.
Police body camera video showed the perspective of one officer walking and running down the middle of the residential street, readying an assault rifle in one hand while barking commands into a radio in the other. On the run, he takes cues from a local resident and a dog runs beside them.
That video is later partially obscured, but a shadow on the ground shows the officer bracing in firing position for the final confrontation.
“I have eyes on the suspect. He’s walking south. He’s wearing all black,” an officer tells dispatchers in another video segment.
He then yells, “Farmington police! Let’s see your hands!”
A police car speeds by with flashing lights and sirens.
Video from the body camera of Sgt. Rachel Discenza showed her pointing her handgun toward where the suspect was standing. Amid an exchange of gunfire, she falls to the ground, and says: “I’m shot.”
She struggles unsuccessfully to get up, and a fellow officer uses her belt as a tourniquet.
“We got one hit. Get me a medic here for sarge,” he yells.
In the grass in front of the church, officers rush to the suspect after the gunfire subsides, telling him not to move. One officer cuffs him, while another says, “Subject is down. He is secured.”
A note was later found in the pocket of the discarded vest that said, “If your reading this im the end of the chapter.
The gunman’s body was left in the grass for a time as investigators worked the scene, and it was unclear then how many times he was shot.
Police said earlier this week that they couldn’t say how many gunshot wounds the victims had suffered and were waiting on the medical investigator’s report, which had not been made public as of Thursday.
Neighbor Bryan Brown, who was among those who ran to render first aid, told AP that Voita had gunshot wounds to the leg and the head.
Police have been probing for motivations behind Monday’s rampage, which took place the day before Wilson was due to graduate from high school, amid some indications from relatives of prior mental health issues.
Efforts were underway by authorities to access medical and school records that might shed light on his mental history.

The I-24 MOTION and Guam Waterworks Authority – Northern District Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion projects are now eligible for the ACEC National Engineering Excellence Awards, which will be judged in spring 2023 and announced in summer 2023.
I-24 MOTION—the I-24 Mobility Technology Interstate Observation Network—is a first-of-its-kind testbed implemented by TDOT and designed by Gresham Smith with data management by Vanderbilt University that will uncover how vehicles interact with each other and the state's infrastructure. The project will equip a four-mile section of I-24 in the Nashville-Davidson County Metropolitan area with more than 250 ultra-high definition cameras that will convert images of the vehicles into a digital model of how each one behaves. Using this anonymous data, vehicle and infrastructure design can be optimized to reduce traffic concerns and improve safety, air quality and fuel efficiency.
To meet the needs of recent population growth in the island's northern district and the upcoming relocation of 5,000 deployed U.S. Marines and their families to Guam's new military base, the Guam Waterworks Authority needed to upgrade its water treatment process to comply with EPA-mandated requirements. As part of an effort funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, Gresham Smith overcame challenges presented by the site's complexity and remote location to engineer an expansion to the Northern District Wastewater Treatment Plant. The project, which increased the plant's capacity and elevated treated water quality, was performed without shutting down the plant's operations.
The Marconi Boulevard project for the City of Alcoa, Tennessee includes a roundabout design, civic amenities, the rehabilitation of three historic railroad bridges, a new bridge, and stormwater design. It comprises integral infrastructure that will help transform a former aluminum plant site in Alcoa into a connected, sustainable city.
The Albert Gallatin Avenue/Hatten Track Road Extension project for Gallatin, Tennessee creates a new alternative corridor between U.S. 31 E. and State Route 109 by extending Albert Gallatin Avenue to a new interchange at SR 109. The new bypass improves safety, alleviates congestion and allows for new development.
Past projects recognized in by ACEC Tennessee include the LeConte Event Center Paver Parking Lot and Pedestrian Bridge in Pigeon Forge, TDOT's Highway System Access Manual design, I-40 Widening and Interchange Reconstructions in Jackson, Guam Waterworks Authority – Route 3 Interceptor Sewer Rehabilitation in Dededo, Guam, the I-40 Fast Fix 8 Accelerated Bridge Construction project in Nashville, the TDOT I-40/SR-66 diverging diamond interchange (DDI) in Sevierville, the Division Street Extension Bridge in Nashville, a Bowling Green Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion in Bowling Green, Kentucky, the Lower Big Haynes Regional Pumping System in Georgia's Gwinnett County and KUB's Second Creek Wastewater Storage Facility in Knoxville.

Houston is facing an increasing threat of flash flooding, while the central region of the United States is bracing for a surge in severe weather caused by an intense weather pattern. Benton County in Iowa has already experienced destructive hailstorms with pingpong-ball-size hail and strong winds. Similar severe storms are anticipated to produce large hail later today.
New Orleans also encountered flash flooding as storms swept across the Gulf Coast, resulting in the rapid inundation of an underpass. Emergency crews had to rescue two individuals who were trapped in a car immobilized by the floodwaters.
The National Weather Service satellite reveals a weather system progressing along the Texas Gulf Coast, aiming directly for Houston. The city is projected to receive approximately 4 inches of rain on Wednesday. Due to its low-lying nature, Houston is prone to flooding even with moderate rainfall, leading officials to anticipate water rescues as people attempt to drive through the flooded areas. Another area of concern on Wednesday is Denver, where powerful thunderstorms are expected to pass through.
In total, around 17 million Americans in the risk zones spanning from the Canadian border through the Great Plains to Mexico are under threat. The regions with the highest risk include parts of Wyoming, Nebraska and Colorado, as well as the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas. These areas are likely to experience severe storms, large hail, and possibly a few tornadoes.

Venice, Italy is a city known for its enchanting flooded canals which create paths where boats and traditional gondolas glide across the water ways, using them as transportation throughout the city.
Now, after weeks of dry weather, officials are worried after some of the canals have nearly dried up.
It is feared that Italy could soon face another drought after last summer's lack of rain brought harsh dry conditions to the country.
Venice is usually more worried about flooding issues than a lack of water, but low tides and a lack of rain is making it impossible in some areas for water craft to navigate, including the city's ambulance boats.
The low water levels are likely to affect tourism in a city where one of the main draws for tourists are the canals and the experience of traveling on them.
Reuters reported that Italy's longest river, the Po, which stretches from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea now has around 61% less water than is usual for this time of year.
Massimiliano Pasqui of the Italian scientific research institute "CNR" said, “We are in a water deficit situation that has been building up since the winter of 2020-2021,” Corriere della Sera reported.

You may have come across a meme showing an ancient fish known as Tiktaalik.
It shows the green, eel-like creature crawling out of the sea about 375 million years ago — about the time that scientists say fish developed the physical characteristics to survive on land — only to be directed to turn around.
The joke, as far as the meme goes, is that the fish should crawl straight back into the water to avoid the woes of our modern times.
Now, a new study published in Nature suggests a relative of Tiktaalik – named Qikiqtania wakei – did just that.
Dunno who made this, but yes. pic.twitter.com/JhxAACkTDu
— Matthew Cobb (@matthewcobb) December 7, 2021
"You had this evolutionary series of fish evolving to walk, but this one said, 'Eh, not going to do that one. I'm going back in,'" said Neil Shubin, a paleontologist at the University of Chicago who co-authored the study.
Shubin was part of the team who discovered Tiktaalik during a 2004 expedition in the Canadian Arctic. Qikiqtania was found on the same trip, but the fossil went mostly unstudied while the team focused on Tiktaalik.
"This new species is a very close cousin of Tiktaalik. We know that by looking at all the features," Shubin said. "In fact, it's a very close cousin of both Tiktaalik and creatures with arms and legs and fingers and toes, so-called tetrapods."
Early tetrapods were likely spending more and more time out of the water during this period, Shubin said. The arrangement of bones and joints in these animals' fins was starting to resemble arms and legs, which would have allowed animals like Tiktaalik to prop themselves up in shallow water and survive on mudflats.
But Tom Stewart, an evolutionary biologist at Penn State who also worked on the study, said Qikiqtania's physiology suggested it was swimming in open water. Qikiqtania's fins are the result of its swimming ancestors crawling onto land, then returning to the water.
"That's an unexpected pattern," he said. "That's not something that would have been predicted before we had a fossil like this."
The study expands paleontologists' understanding of this period in evolutionary history by showing that animals weren't just evolving from water-based fish to land-based tetrapods.
"The transition from life in water to life on land was going both ways," Shubin said.
Qikiqtania is a vivid counterexample to the long-debunked, yet enduring myth that evolution is a linear progression from one species to the next.
"We get introduced to the idea of evolution through images like an ape that slowly stands upright and then produces a man walking," Stewart said. "Those are some of these classic, iconic teaching tools ... but really, evolution doesn't work in that way."
Shubin said evolution was more accurately described as a set of branching paths, rather than a ladder. "Evolution is much more of a bush," Shubin said, "a tree of creatures evolving in many different directions."
We'll see how the memes evolve from here.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Alaska voters have overwhelmingly rejected calling a state constitutional convention.
The question of whether to call a convention appears on the ballot every 10 years. It has in the past been defeated in lopsided votes and gotten little attention.
But supporters of a convention saw an opening this year amid public frustration with the years-long legislative fights over what size the annual check paid to residents from Alaska’s oil-wealth fund should be. Some hoped a convention would be the place to advocate for abortion restrictions or changes in how Alaska judges are picked, proposed changes they've been unable to advance in the state Legislature.
Convention supporters argued there is no harm in calling a convention because any proposed changes would have to go to voters for approval. But convention opponents said calling a convention was unnecessary and risky and that there is a more targeted way to seek changes to the state constitution - with two-thirds support in each the House and Senate and a vote of the people.
One opposition group, Defend Our Constitution, reported raising more than $4.5 million in its bid to defeat the measure.
Had it passed, the Alaska ballot question would have led to the first constitutional convention in the state since the original convention in the 1950s.
Voters in Missouri and New Hampshire also rejected calling a constitutional convention in their respective states.

VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) — Russia’s war in Ukraine will top the agenda when U.S. President Joe Biden and his NATO counterparts hold a summit in Lithuania’s capital over two days starting Tuesday.
They are expected to focus on ensuring that Ukraine has support as long as the conflict continues, how to bring the country even closer to NATO without actually joining, and security guarantees Kyiv might need to ensure that Russia doesn’t invade again after the war ends.
The leaders meeting in Vilnius are set to endorse new defense plans in case Russian President Vladimir Putin tries to broaden Moscow’s war beyond Ukraine and westward into allied territory. They also weigh defense spending, and how to boost their budgets as aid to Ukraine eats into national military coffers.
Sweden’s accession to the 31-nation alliance is up for discussion, too, as Turkey delays the Scandinavian country’s entry into the world’s biggest security organization.
The biggest item on NATO’s agenda is what to do about Ukraine. U.S. President George W. Bush led the charge in 2008, promising that Ukraine would become a member one day.
Now, the country is trying to fend off a full-scale invasion by NATO’s old foe Russia. The West believes that Ukraine is standing up for its interests, and countries are pouring in billions in aid, economic and military support.
NATO isn’t ready to start membership talks with Ukraine yet. But it is helping to train and modernize its armed forces and security institutions to ensure that the country can take its place among NATO’s ranks after the war is over. The summit will see a new forum for consultations created — the NATO-Ukraine Council.
It’s not really a topic for NATO — more for individual allies — but it’s set to dominate talks in Vilnius.
NATO and its Western partners are discussing ways to protect Ukraine after the war from a future invasion. NATO membership offers ironclad “all for one, one for all” protection, but the 31 countries must agree unanimously on letting Ukraine in, and they’re not united on this.
Failing that, major allies like the U.S., U.K., France and Germany could pledge to shield the country from another attack. NATO and the European Union would back that military protection with more money and other aid.
It’s unlikely that any conclusions will be drawn in Vilnius, but the summit is an important moment for leaders to flesh out what those guarantees might look like.
Nearly all allies, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg and Sweden say the country has done enough to join the military alliance. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan doesn’t agree, and he aims to steal the summit spotlight.
Sweden has given up a history of military neutrality to seek protection under NATO’s security umbrella. It has changed its anti-terror laws and lifted an arms embargo on Turkey to assuage Erdogan’s concerns.
To no avail.
The long-time Turkish leader used the issue during election campaigning last month. He’s also seeking upgraded F-16 fighter jets from the U.S., and Sweden could be leverage.
This is a perennial issue. The U.S. routinely flails its allies for failing to spend enough on their defense budgets. With money, arms and ammunition being poured into Ukraine, the need to boost national military budgets is a no-brainer.
The allies agreed in 2014 to move toward spending 2% of their gross domestic product on defense within a decade. The 2024 deadline approaches.
In Vilnius, the leaders will agree to make 2% the floor — that is, the least they should be spending — rather than the ceiling.
NATO is conducting the biggest revamp of its defense plans since the Cold War in case Putin decides to widen the conflict outside Ukraine.
Right now, around 40,000 troops are on standby from Estonia in the north down to Romania on the Black Sea. About 100 aircraft take to the skies each day, and 27 warships are operating in the Baltic and Mediterranean Seas.
Those numbers are set to rise. Under new defense plans, NATO aims to have up to 300,000 troops available to move to its eastern flank within 30 days. The plans divide its territory into three zones – the high north and Atlantic area, a zone north of the Alps, and another in southern Europe. The top-secret documents lay out which countries and what equipment should defend any area under threat.
It’s not on the agenda, but NATO hopes that Belarus, Lithuania’s big neighbor, and Russia’s main backer, will play no surprise role in the summit or the war in Ukraine.
Belarus lies just 35 kilometers (22 miles) from Vilnius. Wagner mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin was offered refuge there. The jury is out on how many of his fighters might join him.
“We have seen some preparations for hosting large groups of soldiers in Belarus. So far, we haven’t seen them going to Belarus,” Stoltenberg said Friday.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko also said last month that his country has received Russian tactical nuclear weapons. He’s warning that he would order their use to protect his country.
NATO officials think he’s bluffing. But it’s quite possible that Putin will resume his nuclear saber-rattling again as the leaders gather in Vilnius.

Rescue mission under way in Papua New Guinea for hostages including Australian academic
By Duarte Mendonca, Hira Humayun and Rhea Mogul, CNN
Police in Papua New Guinea have launched a rescue mission after a group of foreign citizens and local guides were taken hostage by armed criminals in a remote region of the country, police said in a statement Monday.
Among those being held for ransom is an Australian academic, CNN affiliates Nine News and Seven News reported, citing Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape.
Police said negotiations are ongoing to secure the hostages’ release and they would use “all necessary force” to free them. The police statement said the group is being held at Fogoma’iu village in the Southern Highlands province, but did not say how many hostages were taken.
PNG Police Commissioner David Manning said the criminals saw the group “by chance” and took them into the bush.
“These are opportunists that have obviously not thought this situation through before they acted, and have been asking for cash to be paid,” Manning said, adding that authorities are “offering the abductors a way out.”
“They can release their captives and they will be treated fairly through the criminal justice system, but failure to comply and resisting arrest could cost these criminals their lives,” he said.
Manning added that contact is being maintained with “relevant diplomatic representatives” until the case is resolved.
Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has not publicly commented on the matter.
Papua New Guinea, a Pacific nation of more than 9 million people, shares an island with the restive Indonesian region of Papua.
Earlier this month, a New Zealand pilot was taken hostage by separatist fighters in Papua. Identified by local police as Philip Mehrtens, the pilot was captured after landing a commercial Susi Air charter flight at Paro Airport in the remote highlands of the Nduga regency.
The group previously demanded that all incoming flights to Paro Airport be stopped and said the pilot would not be released until the Indonesian government acknowledged Papuan independence.

(WKBN) – Each year during April and May sky gazers are treated to a dazzling display from the eta Aquariid meteor shower.
“A meteor shower is like a normal rain shower, with 50-60 meteors per hour,” said Bill Cooke, lead of NASA’s Meteoroid Environments Office at the agency’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, in a NASA blog post. “An outburst is like a thunderstorm, with greater than normal meteor activity expected. A meteor storm is like a tornado, where meteor rates are over one thousand per hour.”
NASA says the eta Aquariid could be especially impressive this year, with astronomers expecting 120-160 meteors per hour.
The meteor shower starts around April 15 and goes through May 27 each year. Projections for the peak of the eta Aquariid shower tend to vary a bit, but the American Meteor Society predicts it will happen on May 6.
How many meteors will we see?
People in the Northern Hemisphere will see a few fireballs leave glowing trains in their wake, but not as many as those who live south of the equator as this is a better shower for the Southern Hemisphere.
Under a dark sky, it is possible to see 10 to 20 meteors per hour in the southern United States.
Out west, Californians who live far from big cities and other sources of light pollution will see roughly 10 fireballs per hour, according to the Redding Record Searchlight.
The full flower moon will limit our viewing
The other item that will limit our viewing will be the full flower moon. It will be close to being full, throwing a lot of light into the sky. This will reduce our chances of catching a shooting star from this shower. There is a chance to see a few.
When is the full moon?
The full moon will take place on May 5, 2023. The full moon during May is known as the Full Flower Moon.
When is the best time to catch the meteor shower?
The best time to see one would be in the hours before sunrise on May 6-7.
What causes the meteor shower?
This shower is the result of the earth passing through the debris trail of Halley’s Comet. These flying space pieces of debris pass through the earth’s atmosphere and become meteors.
Halley’s Comet only passes through every 75 to 76 years. The last time was in 1986 when we could see it with our eyes from the Earth. It won’t be around again until 2061.

In addition to growing adoption of smart home technologies, home robot technology has experienced important advances
BOULDER, Colo., July 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report from Guidehouse Insights explores the market landscape and potential for home robots.
Despite optimistic product launches from prestigious high-tech companies and start-ups, the market for robots in the home has had limited success to date. However, there is reason for hope—according to a new report from Guidehouse Insights, with the success of at least one home robot application and the growth of others, confidence is high for more applications in the future. The in-home navigation technology developed for robotic vacuums—the primary success story for home robotics—has enabled other applications, including social robots and home healthcare robots, which serve certain niche markets with highly customized human-like interactions, and robots designed to enhance the smart home's capabilities.
"Home robots have the potential to make life more convenient and fulfilling in the early 21st century, removing drudgery and increasing free time, as household appliances did for families in the 20th century," says William Hughes, principal research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. "The transition to using more robots in the home will likely be slower than many might wish but it is unstoppable."
The technology embedded in robotic vacuums enables other home robot categories. In addition to home maintenance, some robots are useful for consumers who need help carrying items, for food preparation, and for home healthcare. A new and interesting category is robots designed to enhance smart home functionality by bringing a voice-activated speaker closer to the user, offering a moveable security camera, and providing social engagement options, according to the report.
The report, Expanding the Market for Home Robots Beyond Smart Vacuums, explores the status of the myriad applications for robots in the home, examines the implications for the adoption of home robot applications, and looks at factors that will likely affect smart home adoption. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.

(The Hill) – Text messages newly revealed on Monday indicate that former NFL quarterback Brett Favre and former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant (R) communicated over an effort to use their state’s welfare funds to help build a new volleyball center at the University of Southern Mississippi.
According to a report by Mississippi Today published Tuesday, Favre, Bryant and others discussed ways to funnel at least $5 million in state welfare funds for the new Southern Mississippi volleyball center.
The texts were filed in the state of Mississippi’s civil lawsuit over the scandal. Southern Mississippi’s volleyball stadium is not a part of the state’s civil lawsuit.
An attorney representing the Mississippi Community Education Center (MCEC), whose founder, Nancy New, previously pleaded guilty to 13 felony counts of bribery, fraud and racketeering for her role in the welfare scheme, filed the text messages into court records.
The reported conversations took place between 2017 and 2019, when Favre’s daughter was on Southern Mississippi’s volleyball team. Favre, who spent most of his 20-year NFL career with the Green Bay Packers, had played football at the university.
“If you were to pay me is there anyway the media can find out where it came from and how much?” Favre asked New in 2017.
In response, New texted Favre that “we never have that information publicized,” adding that Bryant, who served two terms as Mississippi’s governor, approved of the plan.
“Wow, just got off the phone with Phil Bryant! He is on board with us! We will get this done!” New texted Favre.
In a text message sent in 2019, Bryant told New, who was tasked with spending tens of millions of federal welfare funds in the state, that he got out of a meeting with Favre and asked if she can help with their project, according to Mississippi Today.
“Just left Brett Favre,” Bryant told New. “Can we help him with his project. We should meet soon to see how I can make sure we keep your projects on course.”
Favre, a three-time NFL MVP, paid the remaining $600,000 he owed to the state of Mississippi last year over improperly receiving welfare money as a result of an extensive scheme.
The 52-year-old former quarterback received up to $1.1 million in welfare funds between December 2017 and June 2018 from MCEC for public speaking appearances he never made.
Mississippi’s Department of Human Services filed a civil lawsuit against Favre in May, alleging that he did not pay back interest of the $1.1 million owed, which amounted to $228,000.
In a statement to Mississippi Today, Favre’s attorney Bud Holmes denies that his client knew he received welfare funds, saying, “Brett Favre has been honorable throughout this whole thing.”
Favre, who along with Bryant hasn’t been criminally charged in the scandal, had previously told the nonprofit news organization in 2020 that he did not have any contact with Bryant about his alma mater’s volleyball center.

NEW YORK (AP) — A lawyer told a jury Monday that Donald Trump should be held accountable for sexually attacking an advice columnist in 1996 because even a former president is not above the law.
Attorney Roberta Kaplan delivered the first closing argument in the federal civil trial, showing jurors video clips of Trump from his October deposition and replaying the “Access Hollywood” video from 2005 in which Trump said into a hot mic that celebrities can grab women’s genitals without asking.
Closing arguments were expected to last all day in the case as the jurors in Manhattan hear final remarks from attorneys about the claims writer E. Jean Carroll brought against Trump.
Kaplan recalled Trump’s comment that “stars like him can get away with sexually assaulting women.”
“That’s who Donald Trump is. That is how he thinks. And that’s what he does,” Kaplan said. “He thinks he can get away with it here.”
She told jurors that it wasn’t a “he said, she said” case but rather one in which jurors should weigh what 11 witnesses, including Carroll, said versus what they heard from Trump in his video deposition.
“He didn’t even bother to show up here in person,” Kaplan said. She told jurors that much of what he said in his deposition and in public statements “actually supports our side of the case.”
“In a very real sense, Donald Trump is a witness against himself,” she said. “He knows what he did. He knows that he sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll.”
Trump, who has not attended the trial, has insisted in public statements and in the deposition that Carroll made up the claims to boost sales of a 2019 memoir.
Carroll, 79, who is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, testified for more than two days during the trial, which is entering its third week.
She said she was leaving a Bergdorf Goodman store through a revolving door in spring 1996 when Trump was entering the store and stopped her to help him shop for a gift for a woman.
Carroll said they eventually took escalators to the store’s desolate sixth floor, where they teased each other about trying on a piece of see-through lingerie.
She said she entered a dressing room with Trump before the flirtatious outing turned violent, with Trump slamming her against a wall, pulling down her tights and raping her. She said she kneed him after an encounter that lasted several minutes and fled the store.
Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, who is unrelated to Roberta Kaplan, told jurors that they would begin deliberations Tuesday after he spends about an hour reading them the law that will pertain to battery and defamation, the two allegations they must decide.

Richard Dreyfuss believes that America is on the wrong track if nasty political partisanship and Americans' ignorance of history and civics continues.
The actor known for his starring roles in films like "Jaws," "American Graffiti" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" is passionate about educating others on U.S. civics.
He also rejects the idea that any one party is morally superior to the others. "They're all equally nuts," he told Dave Rubin on "The Rubin Report" this week.
Dreyfuss believes that political partisanship divides the country to make us "bitter and ignorant."
RICHARD DREYFUSS QUIT ACTING BECAUSE HE WANTED TO SAVE ‘MY COUNTRY’ FROM ‘DAMAGE’
"These days Republicans can't wait to bring up the word ‘liberal’ as a curse word. And vice-versa," he said.
Dreyfuss urged the importance of Americans to understand civics, because it led to a mutual respect of those who held opposing views.
He argued since the 1960s, prevailing ignorance about the founding of this country had diminished our once-cherished values. "We got so far away from that in such a short amount of time."
"By not knowing the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration [of Independence], by not knowing the birth tale of America, we cheat ourselves tremendously and we change the values that are so important and so unique to us. Opposing views, what other country cherishes opposing views like we do?" he asked. Only Britain, he claimed.
PROFESSOR SAYS STUDENTS NO LONGER TAUGHT CIVICS, INSTEAD INDOCTRINATED INTO ANTI-AMERICAN GLOBALIST THEORY
The actor said nasty squabbles over political identities hurt the country and went against our founding principles.
"For us to deny that or walk away from that, or feel in some way compelled for either side, conservative or liberal, to have to put down the other side, it's not enough to disagree with people, you are called upon to put them down personally. There are people who wouldn't consider it a good day if they hadn't put down some liberals as idiots."
"That's nonsense. It's horse—t," he condemned. "We should grow up and stop it."
Dreyfuss explained how he became disillusioned with hypocrisy in partisan politics after growing up with activist parents.
"I found at a very early age, that most of the partisanship in American politics was nonsense and I've always felt that way…At the height of my partisan politics I was a Democrat or a liberal. But I wasn't really, and would never have voted a straight party ticket," Dreyfuss recalled.
Americans have "lost pride" in our republic, Dreyfuss said.
Earlier this year, Dreyfuss predicted there would be dire consequences in the next twenty years if education was not reformed in this area. "I firmly believe that if we don't revive the study of civics we will be dead before 2050. We'll have the same name, and it will be a nightmare," the actor revealed on The Glenn Beck Podcast in January.
"It infuriates me that people don't understand what this place means," he said speaking of the United States of America. "What an advance on human progress this country is all about and how quickly we can abandon it without, without a second thought."
In 2006, Dreyfuss founded The Dreyfuss Civics Initiative (TDCI). Its purpose is "to revive the teaching of civics in American public education" and "to empower future generations with the critical-thinking skills they need to fulfill the vast potential of American citizenship."

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s capture of a son of former Sinaloa cartel boss Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán this week was an isolated nod to a drug war strategy that Mexico’s current administration has abandoned rather than a sign that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s thinking has changed, experts say.
Ovidio Guzmán’s arrest in the Sinaloa cartel stronghold of Culiacan on Thursday came at the cost of at least 30 lives — 11 from the military and law enforcement and 19 suspected cartel gunmen. But analysts predict it won’t have any impact on the flow of drugs to the United States.
It was a display of muscle — helicopter gunships, hundreds of troops and armored vehicles — at the initiation of a possible extradition process rather than a significant step in a homegrown Mexican effort to dismantle one of the country’s most powerful criminal organizations. Perhaps coincidentally, it came just days before U.S President Joe Biden makes the first visit by a U.S. leader in almost a decade.
López Obrador has made clear throughout the first four years of his six-year term that pursuing drug capos is not his priority. When military forces cornered the younger Guzmán in Culiacan in 2019, the president ordered him freed to avoid loss of life after gunmen started shooting up the city.
The only other big capture under his administration was the grabbing of a geriatric Rafael Caro Quintero last July — just days after López Obrador met with Biden in the White House. At that point, Caro Quintero carried more symbolic significance for ordering a DEA agent’s murder decades ago than real weight in today’s drug world.
“Mexico wants to do at least the bare minimum in terms of counter-drug efforts,” said Mike Vigil, the DEA’s former chief of international operations who spent 13 years of his career in Mexico. “I don’t think that this is a sign that there’s going to be closer cooperation, bilateral collaboration, if you will, between the United States and Mexico.”
While capturing a criminal is a win for justice and rule of law, Vigil said, the impact on what he sees as a “permanent campaign against drugs” is nil. “Really what we need to do here in the United States is we need to do a better job in terms of reducing demand.”
That was a key talking point when the U.S. and Mexican governments announced late in 2021 a new Bicentennial Framework for Security, Public Health and Safe Communities, replacing the outdated Merida Initiative.
The pact was supposed to take a more holistic approach to the scourge of drugs and the deaths they cause on both sides of the border. But underlining the frequent disconnect between diplomatic speech and reality, just two months later the U.S. government announced a $5 million reward for information leading to the capture of any of four of El Chapo’s sons, including Ovidio, signaling the U.S. kingpin strategy was alive and well.
“The Bicentennial understanding was a change on paper with respect to attacking drug trafficking and violence with a more important focus on what were supposedly public health programs — (but) without any budget,” said Guadalupe Correa-Cabrera, an associate professor at George Mason University. In reality, “Mexico is bending to the United States’ interests.”
For decades, the U.S. has nabbed drug kingpins from Mexico, Colombia and points between, but drugs are as available and more deadly in the United States as ever, she said. “The kingpin strategy is a failed strategy.”
The U.S. Department of Justice declined to comment on Ovidio Guzmán’s arrest.
López Obrador took office in December 2018 after campaigning with a motto of “hugs, not bullets.” He shifted resources to social programs to address what he sees as violence’s root causes, a medium- to long-term approach that did little for a country suffering more than 35,000 homicides per year.
“Something that has characterized, in my opinion, Mexico’s security policy in recent years is that it isn’t very clear. It has been a bit contradictory,” said Ángelica Durán-Martínez, associate professor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. That ambiguity makes it difficult to determine if there has really been a change, she said.
López Obrador’s government benefits from the detention of Guzmán in several ways. The arrest eases the armed forces’ humiliation after being forced by cartel gunmen to release him in 2019. It may sooth ill-feelings after his administration strictly limited U.S. anti-drug cooperation two years ago. And it may help diminish perceptions that López Obrador — who has frequently visited Sinaloa and praised its people — has gone easier on the Sinaloa cartel than on other gangs.
For four years López Obrador has continued to shred his predecessors’ prosecution of the drug war at every opportunity. Experts say the respite allowed the cartels to get stronger, both in terms of organization and armament.
Guzmán during that time took a growing role after his father was sentenced to life in prison in the U.S. The younger Guzmán was indicted in Washington on drug trafficking charges along with another brother in 2018. He allegedly controlled a number of methamphetamine labs and was involved as the Sinaloa cartel expanded strongly into fentanyl production.
Synthetic drugs have been impervious to government eradication efforts, are easier to produce and smuggle, and are much more profitable.
The Sinaloa cartel hardly missed a beat when Guzmán’s father was sent to the U.S., so the capture of one of the so-called “Chapitos,” as the brothers are known, is never going to shake the operation.
Mexican security analyst Alejandro Hope said the detention of Ovidio Guzman probably came as the result of pressure or information from the U.S. government, and marks the tacit abandonment of López Obrador’s rhetoric about ditching the kingpin strategy.
For Hope, the detention is depressing, not only because it won’t fundamentally change the Sinaloa cartel’s booming export trade in meth and fentanyl, but because it reveals how little investigation Mexican authorities had done on Guzmán and the cartel since 2019.
“How great that they got Ovidio, applause, perfect,” Hope said. “What depresses me is that we’ve been at this (drug war) for 16 years, or 40 counting from the (murder of DEA agent Enrique) Camarena, and we still don’t have the ability to investigate.”
After Guzmán’s capture, Mexican officials said he was arrested on an existing U.S. extradition request, as well as for illegal weapons possession and attempted murder at the time they found him. On Friday, Interior Secretary Adán López Hernández said there were other Mexican investigations underway that they couldn’t talk about.
“We keep betting on the muscle, the military capabilities and not on the ability to investigate,” Hope said.

Kurt Vonnegut was disappointed in America. "I'm sorry that America isn't a greater success than it is," he told me in 1991. "Because we're so wealthy and we really could have done almost anything. And we've done so very little in comparison to what we might have done in creating an ideal society."
Vonnegut, who died in 2007 at the age of 84, would have turned 100 today. He was born in Indianapolis on Nov. 11, 1922, Armistice Day. The late author wrote satirical and darkly humorous novels that won him a cult-like following with the youth culture of the 1960s — but his work remains relevant today.
Vonnegut wrote novels about the irrationality of governments and the senseless destruction of war. His work was informed by his experience in World War II when he was a 22-year-old soldier captured by the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge.
In 1987, he told me he was determined to write about war without romanticizing it. "My own feeling is that Civilization ended in World War I, and we're still trying to recover from that," he said. "Much of the blame is the malarkey that artists have created to glorify war — romantic pictures of battle, and of the dead and men in uniform and all that. And I did not want to have that story told again."
Four years later, shortly after the first Gulf War, Vonnegut was saddened by what he saw in America. "We have become such a pitiless people," he said. "And I think it's TV that's done it to us. When I went to war in World War II, we had two fears: One was we would be killed, the other was that we might have to kill somebody. And now killing is 'whoopee.' It does not seem much anymore. To my generation, it still seemed like an extraordinary thing to do, to kill."
How Vonnegut spoke to 'young people who care'
Vonnegut's writing questioned the motives of governments and institutions. And that has always resonated with young people, says Charles J. Shields, author of the 2011 biography, And So it Goes: Kurt Vonnegut: A Life.
"When I look at faces of young people holding up signs, protesting a Supreme Court decision, or calling for reform, espousing a cause, I see Vonnegutians," Shields says. "What Vonnegut has to say to a young person now has not changed, but has the same effect as it did on young people who were facing the War in Vietnam. A government at the time that seemed indifferent to what the populace wanted. So as long as there are young people who care, Vonnegut will matter."
Shields believes Vonnegut is particularly relevant at this moment in history. "As I think we've come to understand, what's happening in Ukraine is very much like World War II," he explains. "It's the same abject desire for conquest. It's the same overrunning of boundaries and ignoring people's wants, needs and culture. War is fought at different times, but so often it involves the same issues, and so often has the same demeaning effect on humanity."
He was horrified by the senseless waste of war
Vonnegut's breakthrough to millions of readers came in 1963, with his fourth novel, Cat's Cradle — about a secret military experiment, called "Ice Nine," that leads to the destruction of civilization.
But his most striking anti-war statement came six years later and was quickly adapted by Hollywood. Slaughterhouse-Five depicts the firebombing of Dresden by Allied warplanes in 1945. The city was reduced to rubble. More than 20,000 civilians were killed.
Like the novel's hero, Vonnegut was an American POW, imprisoned in a Dresden Slaughterhouse during the air raid. Afterward, he was forced to remove decaying bodies from flooded basements around the city. Vonnegut said the experience left an indelible impression.
"The destruction of Dresden was my first experience with really fantastic waste," he recalled. "To burn down a habitable city — and a beautiful one at that. And so I was simply impressed by the wastefulness, the terrible wastefulness, the meaninglessness of war."
Vonnegut wrote 14 novels, along with a handful of story collections, plays and non-fiction works. His fiction has been reissued in a four-volume set by the Library of America. In 1991, he said he'd always have an audience because his books say: "Hey, you're not alone."

Widespread rain and thunderstorm chances return Tuesday afternoon. Storms will be slow-moving causing a threat for flash flooding, especially over burn scar areas.
Scattered storms once again developed Monday across New Mexico. These storms have been dropping heavy rain over burn scar areas, prompting Flash Flood Warnings. Storms are ending Monday night and we will wake up to dry conditions Tuesday morning.
Widespread showers and thunderstorms will develop Tuesday afternoon. Storms will fire across the mountain peaks and then slowly move into the lower elevations by late afternoon and evening. Storms will once again be slow movers, causing a threat of flash flooding. The highest threat will be overburn scar areas and eastern New Mexico where we have seen heavy rain over the last couple of weeks.
Another round of afternoon storms returns Wednesday afternoon, but southwest parts of the state will begin to dry out. Storms will be moving faster Wednesday afternoon as a couple could turn strong in eastern New Mexico. Southwesterly winds continue to draw in drier air into the state though, pushing rain chances farther northeast through the week. By Thursday, most areas will be dry, with the exception of far northern and northern eastern New Mexico. Warmer weather will also return with the drier air.

MIAMI — No sooner had the Miami Heat completed Friday night’s 111-103 victory at TD Garden then teammates praised the bench players for being engaged throughout the win over the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Turned out they were a bit too involved.
Saturday, the NBA issued the Heat a $25,000 fine for literally overstepping their bounds.
Per the league:
“The Miami Heat organization has been fined $25,000 for violating league rules regarding team bench decorum, it was announced today by Byron Spruell, President, League Operations.
Sentinel Sports Final
“On multiple occasions, several players stood for an extended period in Miami’s team bench area, stood away from the team bench, and were on, encroaching upon or entering the playing court during live game action in the Heat’s 111-103 win over the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on May 27 at TD Garden.”
Shortly after the game, center Bam Adebayo was effusive about the energy provided from the bench from Markieff Morris, Udonis Haslem and Dewayne Dedmon, none of whom saw action Friday.
“Markieff Morris was the MVP of the game,” Adebayo said, “just his energy across the bench. Him, UD, Dedmon, everybody was a part of that win.”
The NBA has cracked down on such potential interference, with increasing fines for such violations.
The Dallas Mavericks were cited three times during their run to the Western Conference finals, including a $100,000 fine for the third such violation.
At the time, Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said, “It’s the league’s decision to fine, but we’re not going to sit. We’re going to cheer. The positive is the bench can look at it as they’re donating to a nice charity.”
The NBA issued Saturday’s fine to the Heat after coach Erik Spoelstra had already addressed the media.

Crispy coconut flavors these shrimp for a tasty quick dinner. My husband wanted to have some coconut-crusted shrimp and I wanted to bake them rather than fry them. Mixing coconut and panko breadcrumbs with a little oil was the answer. The mixture coated the shrimp, and they baked in only 10 minutes. One secret to make sure both sides are cooked without needing to turn the shrimp over is to place the baking tray in the oven while it preheats. The shrimp will cook on the bottom side this way.
Helpful Hints (format as subhed)
• You can use any type of noodles can be used for the Sesame Noodles recipe.
• Press the coconut mixture into the shrimp to make sure they are coated.
Countdown (format as subhed)
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and place the foil-lined baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.

Two men who were active-duty members of the Marines Corps when they stormed the U.S. Capitol pleaded guilty on Monday to riot-related criminal charges.
Joshua Abate and Dodge Dale Hellonen are scheduled to be sentenced in September by U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes. Both pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building, according to a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s office for the District of Columbia.
Many Capitol rioters are military veterans, but only a few were actively serving in the armed forces when they joined a mob’s attack on Jan. 6, 2021.
A third active-duty Marine, Micah Coomer, also was charged with Abate and Hellonen. Coomer pleaded guilty to the same misdemeanor charge in May and is scheduled to be sentenced by Reyes on Aug. 30.
All three men face a maximum sentence of six months of imprisonment.
As of May 19, the Marines were still in the service. No additional information was available Monday.
David Dischley, an attorney for Abate, declined to comment on his client’s guilty plea. An assistant public defender who represents Hellonen didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
Authorities arrested the three men in January: Abate at Fort Meade, Maryland; Coomer in Oceanside, California; and Hellonen in Jacksonville, North Carolina.
Witnesses stationed with Coomer at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia and with Hellonen at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina identified them in videos of the Jan. 6 riot, according to the FBI. A third witness — also a Marine — identified Abate from footage captured inside the Capitol, the FBI said.
During a June 2022 for his security clearance, Abate said he and two “buddies” had walked through the Capitol on Jan. 6 “and tried not to get hit with tear gas,” according to an FBI special agent.
“Abate also admitted he heard how the event was being portrayed negatively and decided that he should not tell anybody about going into the U.S. Capitol Building,” the agent wrote in an affidavit.
After the riot, Coomer posted photos on Instagram with the caption “Glad to be (a part) of history.” The angles of the photos and the caption indicated he had been inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, the FBI said. The phone number listed for Coomer in his military personal file matched the Instagram account.
Coomer drove to Washington on the morning of Jan. 6 from his military post in Virginia. He attended then-President Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally with Abate and Hellonen before they entered the Capitol. Inside the Rotunda, they placed a red “Make America Great Again” hat on a statute before taking photos of it, prosecutors said. The three men spent nearly an hour inside the Capitol before leaving.
Less than a month after the riot, Coomer told another Instagram user that he believed “everything in this country is corrupt.”
“We honestly need a fresh restart. I’m waiting for the boogaloo,” he wrote, according to the FBI.
When the other user asked what that term meant, Coomer wrote, “Civil war 2.”
“Boogaloo” movement supporters use the term as slang for a second civil war or collapse of civilization. They frequently show up at protests armed with rifles and wearing Hawaiian shirts under body armor.
Over 1,000 people have been charged with federal crimes for their conduct at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Approximately 600 of them have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanors punishable by maximum terms of imprisonment of six months or one year.

Clouds Ahead: AI Wonders and Troubles
Every professional will relate to stories of clients who come in and wonder why or why not they are doing something based on what they read on the Internet or heard around the lunchroom table. The problem isn’t that they bring up a concern (that’s smart), but that so often their source of “facts” is misleading, outdated, or just plain wrong.
While no doubt artificial intelligence (AI) is plotting, Terminator-style, to eliminate we humans, currently it can be quite useful…and quite problematic. To test this, I asked ChatGPT to write a biography of Gary Silverman, a financial advisor working in Wichita Falls, Texas.
In just a few seconds out I popped. Or at least an article that purports to be me. Enough of it is true that someone who knows me only casually might assume that all of it was correct.
It was not.
I was told that Gary “is a prominent figure in the field of finance.” Well, I won’t dispute that, true or not. “With years of experience and a strong commitment to helping individuals achieve financial success, he has established himself as a trusted advisor in the community.” Maybe I should put this on the back of my business cards. “Gary’s dedication to his studies led him to pursue a degree in finance at Texas State University.”
Wait—what?!
I’m a graduate from Miami Christian and earned an MBA from the University of Dallas. I’ve taught finance, but while I admire their beautiful campus, I’ve never attended Texas State, let alone earned a finance degree there. Well, one mistake isn’t too bad, I guess.
“At Silverman Financial, Gary and his team…” Hold it. Did we change our name? [Making a call…be patient…] No, I checked with our current CEO, Michelle, and she assures me that I still work at Personal Money Planning, LLC. So, I looked up Silverman Financial. It seems to be an insurance-centric financial firm out in Florida. The owner, who I share a last name with, seems like a nice guy, but looking at his picture is not at all like looking in a mirror.
In this 8th installment of my whacking-you-with-a-fish series, what I’m trying to point out is that you need to be careful when reading an article or watching a video on the internet, whether it comes from a human or AI. That even includes reading what I write because I have been known to make a boo-boo from time to time.
And let’s not ignore that some people say, post, and create content (including authentic-looking pictures and videos) that are designed to deceive. I gave you an example of that earlier in this series.
Be careful out there. Check your sources. Get multiple ones while you are at it. (Watch out because sometime different sources source the same wrong material themselves.) And, when in doubt, hire an expert.
See you next week.
May God protect the innocents in Ukraine.
Gary Silverman, CFP® is the founder of Personal Money Planning, LLC, a Wichita Falls retirement planning and investment management firm and author of Real World Investing.

Which high-end office chair is best?
Whether you’re working from home or commuting to the office, chances are you’re going to need a high-quality office chair. Luxury, executive and management chairs are a step above the rest, but they aren’t exclusively for bosses anymore. Some are downright affordable.
High-end office chairs come in many forms, including traditional and modern. The top-of-the-line Duorest Alpha Executive Ergonomic Office Chair is an excellent example of a less-traditional and more ergonomic model.
What to know before you buy a high-end office chair
Size
By and large, high-end executive office chairs are larger than the everyday variety. In most cases, executive chairs are high-back, providing more space to sit back and relax so you don’t hunch over the desk. The seats are typically wider as well, ensuring you don’t have to be slender to enjoy it. Many companies offer “big and tall” models as well for the larger-statured.
Comfort and support
Another upgrade area with higher-end office chairs is in the padding and support. Cushy headrests and armrests are standard, as well as extra lumbar support. Some are also built for maximum ergonomic benefits, providing spinal stability and helping to prevent chronic discomfort. If you want even more comfort, look out for memory foam padding in the seat, back and armrests.
Materials
Generally speaking, luxury chairs are much more well-padded. In addition to plush memory foam cushioning, many high-end and executive office chairs use genuine bonded leather. Other ergonomic models feature a breathable mesh backing and seat.
What to look for in a quality high-end office chair
Adjustability
Many high-end chairs are limited in their adjustability due to their more formal design. However, some are worth the extra dough just for their physical customization. Adjustable headrests, armrests and seat height are just a few ways you can make your office chair a better fit.
Special features
There are many special features to look out for in a high-end office chair. Some come with a reclining or rocking function, tension adjustment, adjustable or extra lumbar padding, maybe even a recliner-style footrest.
Ease of assembly
One of the downsides to purchasing a high-end office chair is the assembly, which may be a bit more complicated than a standard chair. However, most manufacturers provide more than enough instructions and supplies to make it easier. In some cases, your chair might assemble easily without sacrificing durability. Most offer expert assembly for an additional price in a pinch, which might be a worthwhile investment to enhance your chair’s longevity.
How much you can expect to spend on a high-end office chair
Luxury and executive office chairs tend to cost $200-$600, but the most indulgent can exceed $1,000.
High-end office chair FAQ
Are there any eco-friendly high-end office chairs?
A. Yes, several, including the WorkPro Quantum 9000, use various eco-standards that make their production better for the environment.
Is faux leather or genuine bonded leather better?
A. Faux or PU leather is more durable than bonded leather, which has a shorter lifespan. It’s also cheaper and less prone to cracking and scratches. Real leather is another good option for feel and longevity.

The migrant crisis in New York City has pushed local organizations and even residents to step in and help.
A few months ago, we introduced you to a community activist who has turned her home basement into an immigration center.
Due to the high demand from migrants showing up at her house seeking help with asylum applications, she's taking things to a whole other level.
Nuala O'Doherty Naranjo hast started a class to help families going through the asylum process.
Right at noon, a group of 25 recently arrived asylum-seekers sit down for a special lesson.
"Every day there was more and more and more, and the lines have got longer and longer," said O'Doherty Naranjo.
O'Doherty Naranjo began providing free services to asylum seekers back in January from her home in the Jackson Heights neighborhood in Queens.
We have all these great new neighbors, but they really need help in filing this first process, which is filing for asylum. it's not terribly difficult, but it's in English," said O'Doherty Naranjo.
She speaks Spanish because she learned it through her husband, an immigrant from Ecuador.
"With that asylum application, 150 days later, they can apply for a social security number, and they can start being productive neighbors who are part of this vibrant city," said O'Doherty Naranjo.

New York faces an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.
According to city officials, over 100,000 people now live in homeless shelters across the Big Apple, and migrants make up more than 50,000 of them.
Meaning, for the first time, they form a majority within the city's homeless shelter system.
"Look, the city's overwhelmed. I really think they're doing the best they can to help our newest neighbors," said O'Doherty Naranjo.
However, this former prosecutor with the Manhattan district attorney's office says the city's resources are stretched and more help is needed.
The line outside her home starts hours before classes begin, two times a day, three days a week.
"I try to help, because my parents sent me to school outside my community so, I learned Spanish at the university," said Erika Guamangate, an indigenous migrant from Ecuador.
Even asylum-seekers like Guamangate have become volunteers.
Guamangate helps other indigenous asylum-seekers who don't speak Spanish or English.
"I am from the province of Cotopaxi and am part of the indigenous Panzaleo people. There are many people from the countryside who have never lived in the city and don't speak Spanish. so, I try to explain and translate the asylum process steps to them," said Guamangate.
As for O'Doherty Naranjo, she says she hopes to see more people step in and help in this time of great need.
"A person can volunteer for four hours and change a family's life forever," said O'Doherty Naranjo.
So far, she says she has helped over a thousand families fill out asylum applications.

University fires volleyball coach who cut entire team
GRAMBLING, La. (KSLA/Gray News) - A university in Louisiana fired its head volleyball coach after she cut the entire team as the players learned about the roster change back in early April.
Coach Chelsey Lucas was hired by Grambling State University in February to lead the volleyball team. Many called Lucas’ move to release all 19 players from the team unprecedented.
GSU Athletics Communications Director Brian Howard told KSLA in April that the athletic program leaders knew Lucas would be making some changes to the roster, but he did not know to what extent.
He also says that those kinds of changes are at the coach’s discretion and do not need to be discussed beforehand.
According to the players, the coach called individual meetings with each player on April 4 and told them their scholarships would not be renewed.
The university said Lucas’ termination was the result of an internal investigation within the volleyball program.
“The success of student-athletes and their ability to matriculate at Grambling State University is the top priority,” Dr. Trayvean Scott said, president of intercollegiate athletics for GSU. “As we move forward in this transition and commence a national search for the next coach, all volleyball student-athletes who received scholarships for the 2022-23 academic year will keep their scholarships and remain on the team. Walk-ons will also continue to hold their roster spot.”
KSLA reached out to Lucas for a comment on the decision. She responded with the following statement:
“Since I started at Grambling, I have been ordered not to speak to the media. My voice has unfortunately been silenced despite the rumors and accusations about me. As a result, I have not been able to provide my side of the story about the many events that have occurred during my tenure as head volleyball coach at Grambling. I was told today, without notice or any opportunity for discussion, that I was being terminated. When I asked why I was being terminated, the administration was not able to provide me any details about why they decided to fire me.
“This termination came just days after I had requested and then had a meeting with the President to discuss the way I had been treated in recent weeks by the Athletic Director. The AD, without me knowing in advance, was invited to this meeting with the President. The AD was visibly upset at my complaints during my meeting with the President, and today I was informed that he was the one who recommended my termination. I will be working with my attorney to prepare a response, and believe that my side of this story will demonstrate that what happened to me today was not right or just.”

Airport runway incidents have risen but serious close calls have decreased over 20 years: FAA
Posted/updated on: February 24, 2023 at 12:19 pm(NEW YORK) -- Amid a recent series of headline-making near misses involving commercial planes and an impending federal review of the nation's aerospace system, data from the Federal Aviation Administration shows the number of the most serious close calls at U.S. airports has actually been decreasing even as overall incidents have risen.
Last year, there were at least 1,633 runway incursions at U.S. airports -- which the agency defines as any occurrence at an airport in which an aircraft, vehicle or person is incorrectly on the protected areas designated for landing and takeoff.
The number of runway incursions in 2022, including general aviation and commercial aircraft, is up from the 1,397 incursions reported a decade prior, in 2012, and the 987 reported in 2002.
But the most serious incursions in which a collision was "narrowly avoided" or in which "there is significant potential for a collision" have decreased over the past 20 years, according to the FAA.
In 2022, there were 18 serious runway incursions in the U.S., agency data shows. That number is up from a low of five reported in 2010 but down from a high of 32 reported in 2007.
While the numbers are small compared to the more than 45,000 flights that take off across the country each day, experts say it's important to keep working to bring the incidents down.
"Aviation safety has to be premised on the idea that we don't want any negatives at all," ABC News contributor and former commercial pilot John Nance said in an interview. "We can't accept a small number per year and just say, 'Well, that's the cost of doing business.' We have to believe we can get to 0 and I think this is one of those areas where we have to redouble our efforts."
In a Jan. 13 close call at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport, an American Airlines flight crossed a runway without clearance from air traffic control, causing a Delta Air Lines plane to abort its takeoff from that runway, government officials said. The planes came within 1,400 feet of each other, according to a preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board.
Air traffic controllers at the airport were notified of the potential catastrophe through technology that provides visual and audible alerting of traffic conflicts and potential collisions, according to the FAA -- technology that is currently in place at 35 major airports across the country.
The tech was not in place at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Austin, Texas, where earlier this month a close call occurred after a FedEx cargo plane and a Southwest Airlines flight came within 100 feet of each other, the FAA has said.
NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy praised the FedEx crew, telling ABC News, "It could have been catastrophic if not for certain actions, including the actions of the FedEx crew."
The FAA currently does not have plans to install the alert technology at more airports across the country. The funding for the technology, called ASDE-X, comes from the FAA's Facilities and Equipment Actual Appropriations budget, which has remained stagnant in recent years.
The incidents in Austin and New York City are still under investigation by the FAA and NTSB.
The FAA's acting administrator, Billy Nolen, announced last week that the agency would establish a safety review team to examine the nation's aerospace system -- saying the group will look at structure, culture, systems and integration of safety efforts.
"We are experiencing the safest period in aviation history, but we cannot take this for granted," Nolen said in a hearing on Capitol Hill. "Recent events remind us that we must not become complacent. Now is the time to stare into the data and ask hard questions."
The last fatal crash involving a commercial plane in the U.S. occurred in 2009, when Colgan Air 3407 crashed in New York state killing all 49 passengers and crew. The last death on a commercial plane occurred in 2018, on Southwest Airlines 1380, after an engine cowling broke and damaged an aircraft window, causing a passenger to be partially ejected from the aircraft.

WASHINGTON, April 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Department of State, the Bezos Earth Fund, and The Rockefeller Foundation today announced that Winrock International will develop and administer the carbon crediting standard to be employed by the Energy Transition Accelerator (ETA).
The ETA is a joint initiative to catalyze private capital to accelerate the transition from fossil fuel to clean power in developing countries. The three partners introduced the ETA's broad outlines in November during the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 27) in Sharm el-Sheikh and are undertaking an inclusive process to design the initiative in the lead up to COP 28 this December in Dubai.
Annual clean energy investment must triple to $4.2 trillion by 2030 to keep a 1.5°C limit on warming within reach, according to the International Energy Agency. The ETA will seek to leverage the growing demand for high-quality carbon credits to scale up finance to speed the deployment of clean power and retirement of fossil fuel assets in developing countries. The finance generated will support developing countries in reducing emissions, expanding clean energy access, creating jobs and economic growth, and strengthening adaptation efforts.
Winrock International will collaborate with the ETA partners to develop a jurisdictional-scale crediting standard to generate high-quality carbon credits representing verified greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions achieved through the implementation of ambitious, integrated, sector-wide energy transition strategies in qualifying developing country jurisdictions (e.g., countries, states, regions). The innovative jurisdictional-scale approach will help avoid emissions leakage, ensure GHG reductions are real and additional, and promote climate-aligned power sector policies and investments.
The crediting standard will set out methodologies and procedures addressing issues including crediting baselines, additionality, and monitoring and verification rules, as well as host jurisdiction eligibility criteria addressing governance, accounting, disclosure, and just energy transition strategies and safeguards.
Winrock International, a mission-driven nonprofit organization headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, implements a portfolio of more than 100 agriculture, environment, and social development projects in over 40 countries. Through its wholly-owned nonprofit subsidiary Environmental Resources Trust (ERT), Winrock International oversees two of the world's leading carbon crediting programs, the American Carbon Registry (ACR) and the Architecture for REDD+ Transactions (ART). Both issue credits for use in global regulated and voluntary carbon markets.
In parallel with development of the crediting standard, the ETA partners are working to create a coalition of private sector and sovereign government buyers that will make advance commitments to purchase carbon credits meeting the new standard. Agreed terms will establish participation criteria for buyers and for their use of credits acquired through the ETA.
The ETA partners have defined a set of principles to guide the ETA's design and a High-Level Consultative Group (HLCG) to provide broad input. The HLCG includes intergovernmental, private sector, and civil society leaders, as well as other experts and stakeholders, from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the United States. In addition to ongoing input from the HLCG, the partners will consult with a wider array of government, business, and civil society stakeholders and will provide opportunities for broader input, including briefings and listening sessions.
The partners are being supported in the development of the ETA by a strong team of experts and institutions, with lead coordination provided by the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) and Environmental Defense Fund (EDF). Pending final approvals, it is anticipated that work across five focus areas will be led by experts associated with a range of organizations, including Winrock International; Climate Policy Initiative (CPI); the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ); C2ES; and EDF.
The Department of State, the Bezos Earth Fund, and The Rockefeller Foundation are collaborating for the purpose of developing the ETA as an independent initiative. In designing the ETA, the partners will seek broad alignment with evolving best-practice standards, including those of the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), the Voluntary Carbon Markets Initiative (VCMI), and the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (IC-VCM).
To express interest in the ETA, please contact: ETA@rockfound.org.

Few things are more enjoyable than running or making a politician sweat. But why choose? Here are six things I learned while running with Providence mayoral candidate Brett Smiley:
🏃 Smiley joined the track team in seventh grade and, other than one injury, he’s been running consistently since then. (He’s now 43.) “It’s the only sport I’ve ever been any good at,” he said. “It requires very little coordination.” He runs in the morning with his husband, Jim DeRentis. “It’s often the best conversation we have all day,” he said.
🏃 As our run began, I asked Smiley what he thinks of all the speed bumps in Providence. Before he could answer, a car nearly hit us.
Advertisement
”This is actually my point,” he after dodging the vehicle. “We need to make Providence safer for pedestrians.” While speed bumps represent “one tool in the tool box,” he said, “it’s as if this is the only tool they have ever heard of.” So speed bumps “have proliferated, like bunnies in the spring, everywhere throughout the city.”
He agrees that speed bumps make sense in places like India Point Park, where they help deter drag racing, but he said they don’t make sense in some other locations. If elected, he’d take out some speed bumps while using other tools, like electronic signs that display your speed.
🏃 Smiley, who was administration director for former governor Gina M. Raimondo, has been criticized for a 2020 supplemental budget proposal to slash a $12.4 million state aid program for “distressed communities” such as Providence by 50 percent.
Smiley said critics “never give the rest of the story.” While proposing reductions in that state aid, the administration also offered cities and towns the ability to tax nonprofits, he said. “Had I been mayor, I would have taken that trade all day long. You control your own destiny. The city would have been more than made whole.”

Also, those cuts never happened, he noted. Cities and towns raised hell, and General Assembly leaders did not enact the cuts.
”We weren’t swimming in money like they are these days,” Smiley added. “I’m filled with jealousy. Every year we had to close a budget gap.”
🏃 Smiley leads in fundraising in the Democratic primary against Nirva LaFortune and Gonzalo Cuervo, and Cuervo has accused Smiley of being “beholden to the donor class.”
Smiley pushed back. “I’ve had over 1,000 people contribute to my campaign, everyone from childhood friends and a high school teacher of mine to people with major investments in Providence,” he said. “I’ve certainly not promised anything to anyone, other than my vision for the future of Providence.”
🏃 Smiley backed the proposal to let Providence borrow $515 million to shore up the city’s underfunded pension fund, but he said the city probably won’t act right away.
Springfield, Mass., just shelved plans to borrow $755 million to bolster its underfunded pension fund because of rising interest rates and inflation. And Smiley noted the Providence proposal included “guardrails” that would stop the city from borrowing at an interest rate above 4.9 percent.
”From what I understand, we are probably not able to go forward with it at this moment,” he said. “However, it’s a five-year authorization, and hopefully in the next five years rates come back down.”
Advertisement
🏃 As the run ended, I asked how, if elected, Smiley would be similar to and different from former Providence mayor Vincent A. “Buddy” Cianci Jr.
”I aspire to be similar to Buddy in the sense that I want to be a mayor who is all over every detail,” he replied. “I’ve heard great stories about him driving around during snowstorms on the radio harassing plow drivers, making sure the work gets done.”
But, Smiley said, “I am dissimilar to Buddy in that it’s not all about the ribbon cutting to me. I know, for instance, when Mayor (David) Cicilline got sworn into office, there was not a single computer in City Hall, because there’s nothing sexy about back-office systems. Yet I think that’s really what helps us deliver actual city services, and there’s a lot that I want to do.”
Stay tuned for more miles with more mayoral candidates.

MUSKO NAVAL BASE, Sweden (AP) — The age of the airman charged in one of the most significant U.S. intelligence leaks in recent memory — just 21 years old — has been the focus of a growing question: Why would the nation give someone so young access to some of its most important secrets?
But the airman’s age has not come up as a focus of the Pentagon’s investigation into how the documents were leaked. That investigation instead is targeting what security lapses took place that allowed Airman 1st Class Jack Teixeira to allegedly remove the top secret level documents from the Massachusetts National Guard base where he worked.
For the Pentagon’s leaders, who have seen 17- and 18-year-olds go to war, age isn’t the issue.
“The vast majority of our military is young,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters traveling with him in Sweden on Wednesday. “It’s not exceptional that young people are doing important things in our military. That’s that’s really not the issue.”
Teixeira was charged Friday in the U.S. District Court in Boston with unauthorized removal and retention of classified and national defense information. He is expected back in court for a hearing Wednesday.
The leaked documents exposed to the world unvarnished secret assessments on Russia’s war in Ukraine, the capabilities and geopolitical interests of other nations and other national security issues.
In Sweden, where Austin met with Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson in a show of support for that country’s NATO bid, Jonson said the issue of the leaks did not come up.
“I can just say that we have good intelligence cooperation between Sweden and the United States,” Jonson said. “We feel completely sure of the U.S. commitment of handling the situation.”
The Air Force is investigating how a lone airman could access and distribute possibly hundreds of highly classified documents, and in the meantime it has taken away the intelligence mission from the unit where the leaks took place, Air Force leaders said Tuesday.
Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall told Congress he has directed the Air Force inspector general to look at the Air National Guard 102nd Intelligence Wing, where Teixeira served, and at “anything associated with this leak that could have gone wrong.”
For top secret information across the military, there’s supposed to be accountable control officers who are responsible for recording active top secret documents and ensuring they have been either properly secured or disposed of, such as through a shredder or by burning them.
In addition, the Air Force is conducting a service-wide review of how each command handles classified information, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. C.Q. Brown told a Congress subcommittee Tuesday.
The Air Force’s own reviews are on top of a military-wide review directed on Monday by Austin. Austin has ordered that all military facilities that handle classified information report to him within 45 days on how they access, share, store and destroy the nation’s secrets following the leaks.
Teixeira is accused of posting the highly classified material in a geopolitical chat room on Discord, a social media platform that started as a hangout for gamers. He was arrested by heavily armed tactical agents at his Massachusetts home last week and charged under the Espionage Act.

WASHINGTON (AP) — There were the young women in fresh fall coats, a guy in a suit, hoodied parents with kids, all maneuvering for selfies with the White House south facade. The plant fans and the history fans leaned in to admire the perennials and centuries-old trees on the lawns where Commander the dog lolls and Marine One the helicopter lands.
Again and again, Secret Service agents rose to the challenge of the White House fall garden tour over the weekend, open to all comers with a free ticket: “Off the grass!” one agent in black uniform shouted, squaring his shoulders, not for the first time, not for the last. A straying visitor hopped back on the path.
An estimated 30,000 people in all strolled through the White House’s black metal gates on Saturday and Sunday, as the red-uniformed Marine Band, overlooking the South Lawn, played everyone through.
With some of the most formidable of temporary security fencing down and pandemic restrictions eased, the tours on a not-rainy weekend were a throwback to the White House’s early days, when there were fewer restrictions on access to the People’s House. For a weekend, the tour sheared off some of the distance between the nation’s executive and a curious, divided public.
The annual fall and spring tours open the gates on gardens more than 200 years old — the oldest continually maintained landscape in the United States, says the National Park Service
“It’s sort of a bucket list thing to check off,” said Ryan Harrison, 29. He and wife Lindsey Harrison, 30, came hours early from their Washington home to be in line at 7:07 a.m. Saturday. They wanted to see the Rose Garden, and maybe more.
“There’s a chance the president will walk out and say hello,” she said.
President Joe Biden, in fact, was at his home in Delaware.
There were limits to the hospitality: Grounds crews wheeled out evergreens in containers to block the path of a garden in the back, where the palm prints of grandkids and paw prints of pets offer a glimpse of the lives of the White House residents.
The human occupants weren’t on hand, but the bees in the beehives were, scouting out head-high orange marigolds in the flourishing, blooming patch that hosts the kitchen vegetable garden started by Michelle Obama and the cutting-flower garden started by Jill Biden.
John Adams is credited with preparing ground for the first White House vegetable garden, although a reelection loss meant he left before the 1801 spring planting season, historians say. He hired white and Black workers during his time as president, although the White House Historical Association notes that other presidents brought Black people they held in slavery to work as gardeners.
The current head groundskeeper is Dale Haney, who was honored by the Bidens last week for his 50 years of service at the White House. In the minutes when the tour areas were open to journalists on the weekend but not yet the public at large, one gardener hauled off a last cart of limbs and leaves. Another tidied up with what appeared to be a battery-powered leaf blower (an aha moment for gardeners in these days of controversy over gasoline-powered ones).
Public access to the White House grounds may have hit its apogee in 1837, when Andrew Jackson celebrated George Washington’s birthday by throwing open the White House doors to all — men and boys in frock coats and straw hats, women and girls in bonnets -— who wanted a share of a donated 1,400-pound (635-kilogram) cheese.
“For hours did a crowd of men, women and boys hack at the cheese, many taking large hunks of it away with them,” a journalist from the time wrote. “Nothing else was talked about at Washington that day.”
World War II, 9/11 and other security concerns steadily carved away at access for ordinary Americans.
When first lady Pat Nixon started the spring and fall garden tours in 1973, the White House itself still was open to visitors lining up for tours.
These days, members of the public generally are asked to go through congressional offices for spots on White House tours. Families enter a lottery for a spot in the annual White House Easter egg roll.
For the garden tour weekends, the line wraps around the metal gates surrounding about 18 acres (7 hectares).
A VIP group that came in at the head of Saturday’s garden tour was allowed close enough to peer in the windows, getting in the backdrop of people’s photos of a serene Rose Garden brightened by yellow flowers, and raising questions about just who was getting first gnaw on the big cheese.
Rashida Holman-Jones, an administrator at the Washington-area SEED School, came through the gates with her 7-year-old twin girls, a 17-year-old student, Simona Weimer, and others.
Weimer was great with the compost and pitching in overall at the school’s garden, Holman-Jones said. Holman-Jones got involved with school gardening as a direct outgrowth of Michelle Obama’s gardening-friendly drive for better nutrition for kids.
At the time, “I wasn’t into gardening,” she said. “But I was really, really into Michelle Obama.”
In the White House gardens this past weekend, well-pruned boxwood-like plantings kept all the red, green, yellow, purple and orange, pollinator-friendly fall blooms in line.
Topiary was big. Photos and plaques marked trees planted by past presidents, with Queen Elizabeth II, Hillary Clinton and others also part of the planting pedigrees. The oldest trees are identified as two southern magnolias, planted by Jackson.
On Saturday, a man in a suit edged close to the White House exterior. A Secret Service agent looming alongside hip-high shrubbery told him to get back.
Holman-Jones, a friend, and their beaming little girls pressed in for their photo. Weimer, from Ethiopia, got a photo for the folks back home, capturing her moment at the White House.

After marathon negotiations, Germany's government coalition has agreed to massive investments and streamlined permit procedures for transportation infrastructure.
BERLIN, March 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Representatives from the three parties that make up the German government – the center-left Social Democrats, the environmentalist Greens and the business-friendly Free Democrats – have hammered out a major new set of policies that could revolutionize transportation in the country.
Some 45 billion euros will be invested in Germany's rail system from now until 2027, and a "package" of digital technologies is to be deployed to increase rail transport volumes. The initiative will be funded by an increase in tolls for trucks on Germany's highways. The stated goal is to have at least 25 percent of goods transported by rail by 2030.
A four-year limit has been set for permit procedures for major transportation infrastructure projects. Procedures will also be accelerated and simplified for renewable-energy generation sites, including land adjacent to highways and railway lines.
"In future, not a single kilometer of new highway shall be planned without exploiting the opportunity to renewably generate energy," the agreement reads.
To promote Germany's transition to electric vehicles, the agreement also mandates that gas stations in the country offer at least one high-speed charging point within the next five years. And as of 2030, the government will require all vehicles purchased for public fleets to be CO2-emissions-free.
"With this new agreement, the government has sought to balance Germany's transport needs, its desire for greater efficiency and its legally enshrined commitment to the transition to clean energy," says Robert Hermann, CEO of Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI). "Big changes are underway in German transportation, and that of course means opportunities for international companies that can help the country achieve its goals."
Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI) is the economic promotion agency of the Federal Republic of Germany. GTAI supports German companies setting up in foreign markets, promotes Germany as a business location and assists foreign companies setting up shop in Germany.

If there was a single moment when the Cincinnati Bengals announced their arrival as contenders last year, it may have been in Week 7 at Baltimore, when Ja’Marr Chase caught a short pass in front of Marlon Humphrey, spun past Chuck Clark, and was gone for an 82-yard touchdown.
“We had a good season up to that point, but when we went into Baltimore and beat them the way we did, it kind of proved to ourselves that we were who we thought we were,” Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow said. “And we just built from that point on.”
Cincinnati returns to play the Ravens on Sunday night in Baltimore, the site of the Bengals’ 41-17 victory last season.
Cincinnati also trounced the Ravens 41-21 in a December rematch, when Burrow threw for 525 yards against a depleted Baltimore secondary.
The Ravens have dropped their share of close games over the past couple years, but the Bengals are the one team that’s really made them look bad.
Chase had eight catches for 201 yards in the first meeting with the Ravens last season, and in the second, Tee Higgins had 12 receptions for 194 yards and two touchdowns.
“Three years ago, going into the week it was like, ‘If you can stop Tyler Boyd, you can be OK.’ Then Higgins comes, it’s like, ‘If you can stop Tyler Boyd and Higgins, you can get the job done,’” Humphrey said. “Then, they get Chase, and it’s like, ‘Oh, he’ll be a little rusty, he’s a rookie guy.’ Then it’s like, ‘Crap, this dude is looking like an All-Pro.’”
The defending AFC champions started a bit slowly this season, dropping their first two games, but the Bengals (2-2) rebounded with two wins after that.
The Ravens (2-2) could easily be undefeated, but they blew leads of 21 points against Miami and 17 last week against Buffalo — both times at home.
DOING IT ALL
The Ravens have 1,437 net yards of offense so far this season, and Lamar Jackson is responsible for over 80-percent of that.
He’s thrown for 893 and run for 316.
“I love watching him play,” Burrow said. “If feels like every couple of minutes he just makes a play that makes your jaw drop. I mean you look at the defense and (say), ‘What are we supposed to do with that guy?’”
STUCK IN THE MUD
The overhauled Bengals offensive line has in the past two games provided better pass protection for Burrow, but the running game has yet to benefit.
After rushing for 82 yards in a Week 1 loss to the Steelers, running back Joe Mixon has stalled.
In the fourth quarter of Cincinnati’s 27-15 win over Miami two Thursdays ago, the Bengals had first-and-goal at the 6, but three straight carries by Mixon came up short, and they had to settle for a field goal.
Mixon was a Pro Bowler last season, but has only 224 yards on 82 carries in four games this year.
The Bengals rank near the bottom of the NFL with 3.1 yards per carry.
“I have to get better, and I will get better,” Mixon said. “I know for a fact that some point something’s got to give. I look forward to it.”
UNDER THE LIGHTS
The Ravens are 18-2 in home prime-time games under coach John Harbaugh.
The next-best teams in the NFL in that span are Seattle (23-5) and Green Bay (29-7).
“We need to get our first victory at home,” Jackson said. “We took two ‘Ls’ at home, that’s something that rarely happens here, but I know the stadium is going to be rocking.”
HIGGINS’ PROGRESS
Higgins had shoulder surgery after the Super Bowl that kept him out of action through summer workouts and the preseason.
He left the Week 1 loss to the Steelers with a concussion, and then went out after taking a scary head shot from LaMarcus Joyner in Week 3 against the Jets.
Regardless, the receiver is starting to look more like his old self.
Higgins had five catches for 93 yards in the win over the Jets.
Against the Dolphins, he caught seven of his nine targets for 124 yards, including a 59-yard touchdown.
INJURIES
The Ravens’ top three options at left tackle have been injured.
Ronnie Stanley (ankle) hasn’t played since last season’s opener, Ja’Wuan James (Achilles tendon) is out and Patrick Mekari (ankle) missed last week’s game.
Baltimore running back J.K. Dobbins recently returned from a knee injury that kept him out all last season, and the Ravens might need more from him with Justice Hill nursing a hamstring problem.

The battle of more than a year between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Walt Disney Company that began over the Parental Rights in Education Act, which restricted discussion of LGBTQ issues and identity in schools, has escalated in recent weeks. The governor recently proclaimed that “come hell or high water” he would prevail in stripping Disney of its governing rights in Central Florida. He added, “buckle up. There’s more coming down the pike.” DeSantis (R) suggested Monday that Florida might build a state prison next to Walt Disney World, or an alternative theme park, in retaliation for the company’s move that stripped a DeSantis-appointed oversight board of its authority.
DeSantis’s statements may score political points, but they also raise serious red flags about elected officials punishing dissenting views from the private sector.
Certainly, political leaders have long sought to leverage both lawful and unlawful means to shape business behaviors. Much like DeSantis’s attacks on Disney, 61 years ago this month President John F. Kennedy waged a “war” with the nation’s steel barons. The Kennedy administration engaged in a campaign of harassment and intimidation undertaken by the FBI and the IRS to coerce the steel barons to come to heel, rather than pursuing legal means such as antitrust actions in the courts. Kennedy sought to force big steel to rescind a price increase at odds with an agreement the administration had negotiated between management and labor. While some celebrated his actions as defending the public interest, in fact, some saw such actions as a clear abuse of executive power.
The “steel war” began when Kennedy called a meeting at the White House in January 1962, between Roger Blough, head of U.S. Steel, which was the nation’s largest steel manufacturer, and David McDonald, head of the United Steelworkers. The steelworkers’ contract was set to expire later that year, and the President urged the two parties to reach a noninflationary agreement. Kennedy proposed a modest pay increase for the steelworkers, one that would allow the companies to pay higher wages while keeping prices frozen.
After weeks of negotiations, the administration believed it had forged a compromise between the industry and the union. The president praised both sides for “apply[ing] the test of the public interest” to their wage and price decisions, demonstrating “industrial statesmanship of the highest order.”
But on April 10, Blough handed Kennedy a news release announcing that his company was raising prices beyond what they had agreed upon. Kennedy was furious at this betrayal, viewing this as a slight against him and against a key element of his base, organized labor. Kennedy’s secretary of labor, Arthur Goldberg, proclaimed “this is war,” while the president told McDonald, “You’ve been screwed and I’ve been screwed.”
The next day at a news conference, Kennedy demanded the steel companies cancel the increases and accused them of engaging in “irresponsible defiance of the public interest.” Their “pursuit of private power and profit,” he maintained, “exceeds their sense of public responsibility.” The president concluded his opening statement by recalling his inaugural address: “Some time ago I asked each American to consider what he would do for his country, and I asked the steel companies. In the last twenty-four hours we had their answer.”
Kennedy’s administration used every means at its disposal to force the steel companies to rescind their price increase. It coordinated a public-relations campaign to portray the decision as unpatriotic at a time when Americans were dying in the conflict in South Vietnam, where, as the president noted at the same fiery news conference, “four [Americans] were killed in the last two days.” Defense Secretary Robert McNamara shifted contracts for submarine plating to smaller companies. Robert Kennedy’s Justice Department engaged in a vigorous examination of the practices of steel executives, including their expense accounts, and convened a grand jury to examine any potential antitrust violations. “We were going for broke,” the attorney general later observed. “I told the FBI to interview them all [the steel executives] — [and] march into their offices the next day. I agree it was a tough way to operate. But under the circumstances we couldn’t afford to lose.”
Even the FBI and the IRS got involved. One steel executive complained “that all the telephone calls of the steel executives in all the country are being tapped” and that “the income tax returns of all the steel executives in the country are being scrutinized.” FBI transcripts of the steel executives’ conversations were allegedly forwarded to the president’s office.
Kennedy reportedly relished flaunting this power. His friend and fellow PT boat commander Paul “Red” Fay recorded the president musing about the pressure applied and asking, “Do you know what you’re doing when you start bucking the power of the president of the United States?” Kennedy answered his own question, noting that “Internal Revenue agents checking all the expense accounts of their top executives” would hardly be welcomed by big steel. He added, with a certain delight, “Do you want the government to go back to hotel bills the time you were in Schenectady to find out who was with you?”
Kennedy’s war with the steel barons involved a ruthless use of federal power against the private sector, but it was widely hailed at the time by liberal scholars as an appropriate tool to check corporate power. For historian and Kennedy adviser Arthur Schlesinger Jr., the president’s showdown with big steel conjured up fond memories of Andrew Jackson’s war against Nicholas Biddle’s Bank of the United States. Schlesinger observed that Kennedy had “no direct authority available against the steel companies. Instead, he mobilized every fragment of quasi-authority he could find and, by a bravura public performance, converted weakness into strength.”
The strategy may have worked in the short term, but it had long-term consequences. By April 12, the steel war had ended, with all the major steel companies rescinding their price increases. He also won the plaudits of a majority of Americans, with 73 percent of them expressing a favorable opinion after Kennedy forced the price rollback. Republicans and business executives were less impressed, viewing the administration’s actions as a heavy-handed use of government power applied to the private sector.
And yet, Kennedy’s actions, even if motivated by a commitment to defending the public interest, set a dangerous precedent. If there were antitrust violations involving “big steel,” the Justice Department could have pursued several legal remedies.
But instead, the Kennedy administration chose a course of action that would soon become the hallmark of Richard M. Nixon’s presidency, with IRS audits and electronic surveillance designed to punish their enemies. Nixon instructed his staff to hire an IRS commissioner who “will do what he’s told that every income-tax return I want to see I see, that he will go after our enemies and not go after our friends.” A White House memo from 1971 urged that all “available federal machinery” be used “to screw our political enemies.” In addition to IRS audits, this would involve using federal antitrust laws to influence media coverage and denying federal contracts and grants to corporations and private citizens critical of the administration.
As Donald Trump’s presidency has most recently exposed, harassing private industries and media outlets opposed to presidential preferences remains an irresistible temptation. Kennedy justified his actions by claiming to defend the “public good,” but he was also personally offended by Blough’s betrayal. DeSantis’s actions in battling Disney need to be watched closely, especially since he is said to have his own eyes on the White House.

Orlando native to become Josephine Baker in one-woman show at the District Theater
Josephine: A Musical Cabaret comes to Indianapolis’ District Theater. Tymisha Baker, who portrays female icon Josephine Baker, joined us this afternoon to share her story…
Born in St. Louis in 1906, Josephine Baker became an international superstar after moving to France in the early 20s. She starred in films, cabarets, burlesque shows, and so much more. She’s also cited as one of the first people to ever dress in ‘drag’, as she sometimes portrayed men. Her success in Europe gave her the opportunity to live freely, away from racial oppression in the United States.
Despite her successes worldwide, she never stopped fighting for black rights in the United States.
Tymisha Harris stars in this one-woman show. Her acting career spans over 25 years, and she’s been a backup dancer for N*SYNC, a supporting character in the film Bring It On, and has toured with Broadway musicals.
Not only does she star in the biographical cabaret, but she is also one of its creators. The show has been touring since 2016 and has picked up accolades internationally.
Josephine: A Musical Cabaret is set to play at The District Theater from Friday, July 7th through Sunday, July 16th. Tickets are on sale now on the District Theater’s website, link here!

When a draft opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court leaked in May, pro-abortion advocates knew it was likely that Roe v. Wade would soon be overturned. But for many, the court’s final decision Friday still came as a shock.
“Honestly, when it happened, I was surprised. I think I held out a little bit of hope that the leak might change something,” says Ashley Reynolds, a North Carolinian who had her first and only abortion 25 years ago, at age 17. “I felt collective sadness for the rest of the day. Then the next day I was angry.”
Reynolds, who joined a pro-choice protest in Raleigh earlier this year, took to the street again this weekend for a protest in Cary, she says. Hundreds of pro-abortion advocates across the Triangle also marched to make their voices heard.
“I hope the momentum can stay until November,” Reynolds says. “There’s a lot at stake in North Carolina, so we’re not in the clear. I hope everyone remembers this.”
For women in North Carolina, the clock is ticking. As soon as the Supreme Court decided to overturn Roe v. Wade on Friday, a countdown started, one to the end of reproductive freedom. Abortion is still legal in North Carolina, a fact that has become a touchstone for pro-choice advocates this week. But with the decision, there’s now a caveat: “Abortion is still legal … for now.”
Republican leaders have said they won’t file any new abortion bills before the end of the legislative session, but they’re already taking steps to reinstate North Carolina’s 20-week abortion ban, which a federal judge struck down in 2019. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s decision—that Roe, decided in 1973, was “egregiously wrong and deeply damaging”—sets the stage for a winning appeal by Republicans.
Senate leader Phil Berger and house speaker Tim Moore wrote in a letter Friday that they “stand ready to take necessary steps” to restore the state’s 20-week ban. The letter, sent to Democratic attorney general Josh Stein, threatens action next week, giving Stein until July 1 to reinstate the law.
Stein’s office will almost certainly shoot down that request; it has fought the 20-week ban since it passed. But Stein’s resistance won’t matter to Berger and Moore, who will likely file their own request to lift the court’s injunction currently blocking enforcement of the law.
Most women, if they’re lucky, find out they’re pregnant between three and four weeks. Then, after a phone call to a clinic, state law requires people seeking abortions to wait three days before their first appointment. Following the Supreme Court’s decision, clinic staff are also expecting an influx of patients, creating wait times for appointments, says Amber Gavin, vice president of advocacy and operations for A Woman’s Choice, which runs three abortion clinics in Raleigh.
And that’s all before accounting for the amount of time it takes to make travel arrangements or save money for an abortion, not to mention exceptional circumstances that may prevent people from seeking an abortion until later in a pregnancy.
“Every year in the U.S. between 54[,000] and 63,000 people get abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. It’s for a lot of different reasons,” Gavin says, including paying for travel, hotels, and childcare.
“Now patients are going to have to travel hundreds of miles. People who are already facing barriers to accessing abortion early in pregnancy will suffer the most: people who are struggling to make ends meet, people of color, and young people.”
Republican leaders have also announced their intent to pass more laws criminalizing abortion when the legislature resumes its normal session in January. Speaker Moore wrote in a statement that “North Carolinians can expect pro-life protections to be a top priority of the legislature” next year. It’s unclear what that means, but it could include a near-total ban on abortion, like Tennessee’s, or a six-week ban on abortion, like the one North Carolina Republicans introduced last year.
The one big obstacle standing in the way of the North Carolina legislature is Governor Roy Cooper, who can veto anti-abortion laws.
Republicans reintroduced several anti-abortion measures last year, including Senate Bill 405, similar to a bill Cooper vetoed in 2019. SB 405 passed the senate but not the house and targeted doctors providing abortions by making it a crime to “not treat infants who survive abortion,” a misleading statement that implies medical professionals are performing infanticide, according to Planned Parenthood.
Another measure, House Bill 453, would have banned doctors from performing abortions supposedly based on the presumed race or sex of a fetus or on a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome. Cooper vetoed that bill, too.
But Cooper’s veto power may not last forever. In November’s election, Republicans only need to win three more seats in the house and two more seats in the senate to achieve a veto-proof supermajority.
“If the General Assembly wants to pass a [total] abortion ban, and they’re able to get that ban into law, the courts are really not gonna be as much of a help as they had been in the past,” says Tara Romano, executive director of Pro-Choice NC, “because there’s no longer that federal protection.”
Women and pro-choice activists across the state had been expecting the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, but the decision still hurt, says Romano.
“It still felt hard,” she says. “This is a right that was just stripped away from over half the people in this country. I know a lot of people are feeling sad and scared. I think the idea behind it was to make people feel powerless. Young folks have said to me, ‘I always knew I was second class, but now it really feels like it.’”
The majority opinion, penned by Alito, also overturns Planned Parenthood v. Casey, a 1992 decision that upheld the federal right to abortion.
“The decision of a bare majority of Supreme Court justices to completely overrule Roe, Casey, and more than 20 decisions reaffirming or applying the fundamental right to abortion is not conservative in any traditional sense. It is radical,” says Neil Siegel, a professor of law and political science at Duke University.
“In one fell swoop, the court has eviscerated half a century of constitutional law that has protected women’s bodily integrity, autonomy to chart their own life’s course, and equal citizenship. I often disagree strongly with the court, but this decision has shaken my confidence in it.”
Siegel added that the court’s decision calls into question the right to contraception, intimacy between two consenting adults, and interracial and same-sex marriage. Although the majority of the conservative justices stressed that Friday’s ruling should not cast doubt on other cases or precedents, Justice Clarence Thomas took a different stance, arguing the Constitution’s due process clause does not protect any substantive rights.
In a concurring opinion, Thomas wrote the Supreme Court should reconsider cases like Griswold v. Connecticut, which affirmed the right to access contraception; Lawrence v. Texas, which affirmed the right to privacy and struck down so-called sodomy laws; and Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage.
“This decision was bad, but we also worry what else might be coming,” says Romano.
On the question of abortion access, Romano says she remains committed to the fight. She and other activists are educating people on their right to abortion and how, where, and when they can get one.
“I have colleagues in a lot of other states, including some states where abortion is no longer legal,” Romano says. “We’ve worked hard to keep abortion access legal in North Carolina, and I feel fortunate we have an opportunity to fight for it.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump is trying to turn the tables on the advice columnist who won a $5 million jury award against him in a sexual abuse lawsuit, saying in a countersuit that she owes him money and a retraction for continuing to insist she was raped even after a jury declined to agree.
Lawyers for the Republican presidential candidate filed papers late Tuesday saying E. Jean Carroll should pay Trump unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and retract her damaging statements.
The countersuit comes a month after Carroll’s lawyers filed a rewritten defamation lawsuit seeking at least $10 million more from Trump over comments he made after the jury verdict in May.
The jury concluded after a two-week trial that Trump sexually abused Carroll in a luxury department store dressing room in spring 1996. It also found that he defamed her in comments he made denying the attack last October.
But the jury rejected Carroll’s claim, first made in a 2019 memoir, that Trump raped her in the Bergdorf Goodman dressing room.
At trial, Carroll testified that the rape occurred after a chance encounter with Trump at the midtown store, initially friendly and flirtatious, turned into a violent assault after they teased each other to try on a piece of lingerie.
Trump has consistently denied ever raping Carroll or knowing her. He said the department store encounter never happened.
In his countersuit, Trump’s lawyers cited comments Carroll made in a CNN interview after May’s verdict, saying that when she was questioned about the jury’s finding that she was not raped, Carroll responded: “Oh yes he did, oh yes he did.”
And they said Carroll also revealed that when she spoke to Trump attorney Joe Tacopina immediately after the verdict, she said she told him emphatically: “He did it and you know it.”
The lawyers, Alina Habba and Michael T. Madaio, wrote that Carroll “made these statements knowing each of them were false or with reckless disregard for their truth or falsity.”
“The Interview was on television, social media and multiple internet websites, with the intention of broadcasting and circulating these defamatory statements among a significant portion of the public,” they added.
In a statement in response to Trump’s counterclaim, Carroll attorney Robbie Kaplan said that Trump “again argues, contrary to both logic and fact, that he was exonerated by a jury that found that he sexually abused E Jean Carroll by forcibly inserting his fingers into her vagina.”
She said four of five statements cited by the counterclaim were made outside of the one-year statute of limitations when a claim must be made and predicted the other will be dismissed by U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan.
“Trump’s filing is thus nothing more than his latest effort to delay accountability for what a jury has already found to be his defamation of E Jean Carroll. But whether he likes it or not, that accountability is coming very soon,” Kaplan said. Kaplan is not related to the judge.
Trump, who is seeking the Republican nomination to run for president again next year, did not appear at the initial trial. But extensive excerpts of his recorded deposition were played for jurors, along with an infamous video revealed shortly before Trump’s 2016 election in which he bragged that celebrities can grab women sexually without consent.

PHILADELPHIA – When Eagles cornerback Darius Slay watches film on the Giants receivers, it has to be an amazing sight: Isaiah Hodgins, who was released during the season by the Buffalo Bills and reborn in East Rutherford, had 16 catches for 194 yards and two touchdowns in two games against the Minnesota Vikings, with a lot of those yards and the two TDs coming against former All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson.
Slay, with three interceptions and 14 passes defensed, likely will find himself matched up against Hodgins — one of the NFL’s best cornerbacks against the biggest surprise during the Giants’ unlikely drive into the postseason and past the Vikings in Sunday’s wild-card game. But, then again, Peterson was supposed to shut down Hodgins, too.
“I like guys like that,” Slay said. “He’s earning everything he deserves. It’s good for him, and I like seeing people who prosper. He’s doing what he needs to, and you can tell he is well-coached. It’s a good thing for him right now.”

In the 31-24 upset in Minnesota, Hodgins caught eight passes for 105 yards and a touchdown, including a 32-yard catch-and-run when quarterback Daniel Jones scrambled to elude the pass rush.
Without any big names, the wide receivers have been underestimated but have kept the Giants in games. Wide receiver Richie James tied running back Saquon Barkley for the team lead in receptions with a mere 57, and before Hodgins arrived, the biggest story surrounding Giants receivers had been the benching of high-priced free agent Kenny Golladay.
Hodgins, in nine games with the Giants — eight in the regular season and one postseason game — has given Jones a reliable target with his 6-foot-4, 210-pound frame. He has five TD catches.
“He fits in good with them because that whole team is a work-hard team,” Slay said. “They’re a well-coached team overall. I think their head coach has been doing an amazing job at coaching guys because many teams don’t have a lot of talent or other stuff.
“They are a team with a lot of talent, and you can see that they are well-coached. That’s the thing that sticks out to me, and that’s why they are in the playoffs now because they are disciplined. He’s a solid player doing his job at a high level, and I like guys like that.”
According to Pro Football Focus, of the 483 offensive snaps Hodgins has played for the Giants, 402 have been out wide, which means Hodgins will be assigned to Slay and fellow cornerback James Bradberry. In the only game Hodgins played against the Eagles this season — Hodgins did not play in the regular-season finale — he caught four passes for 38 yards and a touchdown.
Bradberry — an AP All-Pro with three interceptions, 17 passes defensed and 44 tackles — said Hodgins has become a notable member of the offense and is looking more comfortable with each game that passes.

“I think he’s coming into his own role,” Bradberry said. “He is getting confidence every time he gets out there, and you always see him making plays. That is a guy you definitely have to be aware of on the field.”
James, Hodgins, Darius Slayton and tight end Daniel Bellinger don’t strike fear in defenses, but they’re unlikely heroes who have benefited from clever play-calling and delivered in big moments. Defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon has his secondary back intact now that safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson has returned from a lacerated liver, which will help if the Lincoln Financial Field crowd gets loud at key times.
“We’ve had continuity in that back end,” Gannon said. “I know we’ve had a couple of guys bounce in and out of the lineup, but for the most part, they’ve played together throughout the entire year, so they’re on the same page. They know it’ll be loud, but I always say there’s communication that needs to happen, but if we have eyes, we should know what we’re doing. If you can see, you know what you need to check to. To that point, in 2017, I was here in a playoff game, and it was loud, so I expect it to be rowdy.”
The communication in stopping Hodgins and the Giants passing attack also intrigues DraftKings analyst and host of the “Even Money” podcast Ross Tucker, a former NFL player who said the Eagles likely have contingencies to get in the correct spots if it gets loud.
“It’s very important, and even the Eagles defensive backs have to work on communicating with their hands,” Tucker said. “If it’s loud enough where the Giants have to go to a silent cadence, then sometimes you can have your own miscommunications on the back end because the defensive backs are yelling at each other about certain checks or audibles, but they can’t hear each other either. People don’t usually take that into account or think about that, but that’s a real thing. I think the Eagles are smart enough to prepare for that.”
If the Eagles can disrupt the timing between Jones and his receivers, it could allow the pass rush, which had 70 sacks during the regular season, to harass the quarterback. The Eagles sacked Jones six times in a Week 14 blowout. Slay knows that he has to stop Hodgins to move on to the NFC Championship Game and have a shot at his first Super Bowl ring.
“I know I’m on one of the eight teams left that have a chance to win the big boy,” Slay said. “It’s a special thing for me and to this team, and it makes it a great feeling. There are 32 teams that are always trying to get it, and we are one of the final eight, and that gives me a drive to play 10 times harder and find my inner talent. I play hard every week, but I’m trying to find every extra thing I can to showcase that and trying to get this team this win.”

Survey: 87% of consumers who changed shopping habits due to the economy say they plan to sustain those behavior changes going forward, pressuring banks and retailers to offer money-saving options
SAN DIEGO, June 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Wildfire Systems Inc., an innovative financial technology platform that powers reward programs and shopping companions, in conjunction with research firm Big Village, today released its second annual report on consumer shopping habits. This year's report, "Shopping in the New Normal," covers how the pandemic and subsequent economic uncertainty have changed consumer shopping habits - and which behavioral changes respondents expect to sustain in the years to come.
The survey of 1,009 adults nationwide offers insights into how consumer shopping and spending behavior changed in 2022 in light of record-high inflation, and respondents' use of shopping rewards programs and other money-saving tools to stretch their budgets. The report also highlights growing consumer expectations of retailers and financial institutions, indicating increased pressure on retailers, banks, and other fintechs to enable the right programs and features to meet those expectations.
Key findings from the report include:
Economic uncertainty has changed consumers' shopping and spending habits.
- 74% of respondents said they are more interested than ever in earning cashback rewards and using online coupons for shopping due to inflation and the uncertain economy
- 55% of respondents expect to earn cashback rewards and coupon codes for shopping online from their credit card
- 79% of respondents reported purchasing more generic brands and discount products in 2022 vs. 2021 rather than premium brands
- 40% of respondents who already shop at discount retailers expect to shop at discount retailers more in 2023
- 39% of respondents expect they'll buy fewer full-price items this year
- Almost half (45%) said they spent less on non-essential items like travel or dining out in 2022 than in 2021, echoing new warnings from large retailers
Consumers are shopping smarter; the majority employ a wide variety of tactics to save money while shopping.
- 74% of respondents increased their use of money-saving tools and tactics, such as using browser extensions for cashback rewards, in 2022 vs. 2021
- 73% of respondents already use at least one money-saving tactic such as participating in loyalty programs, shopping at discount retailers, or earning cashback rewards; and most expect to continue employing those tactics or even increase participation this year
- Cashback is the preferred money-saving tactic across all age groups, with 45% preferring cashback rewards the most, with coupon use ranking second (31%)
- 75% of respondents who use a browser extension use it to receive cashback rewards or activate online coupons while shopping
There are generational differences: younger generations are savvier money savers when shopping online.
- Only 9% of Millennials and 13% of Gen Z reported using neither cashback or coupons when shopping online
- Meanwhile, 27% of Baby Boomers reported using neither to save money online
- Both Millennials (51%) and Gen Z (43%) favor cashback over coupons
Now more than ever, financial institutions are at risk of abandonment for options that offer preferred loyalty and cashback programs.
- 80% who use a shopping rewards program would switch to a rewards program offered by their current bank or credit card, especially if it paid rewards directly into their account
- Respondents list cashback rewards as one of the top five features they consider when choosing a new bank
- 52% prefer getting cashback rewards and coupon codes for shopping online from their credit card and 33% prefer to receive these from their bank
Shoppers spend more money with retailers that participate in rewards programs.
- 43% of online shoppers who use a browser extension for cashback or coupons are more likely to shop at a retailer offering cashback
- 48% are more likely to complete a purchase when they earn cashback rewards
- 33% are likely to purchase more items when they can earn cashback rewards
"The pain of inflation and economic uncertainty is driving people to be careful about what they buy, where they shop, and the financial institutions with which they do business," said Jordan Glazier, CEO, Wildfire. "With consumers increasingly looking for ways to stretch their dollars, retailers and financial services providers are stepping up to help consumers earn rewards and save money when they shop."
