Jeff McNeil stepped to the plate in the bottom of the fourth inning with runners at the corners and his team down by one. The left fielder crushed Phillies starter Zach Eflin’s 93 mph sinker and sent it straight to the Coca Cola corner. It was the perfect catalyst in the Mets’ eventual 8-2 win over the Phillies and their hapless defense. On Saturday, Walker loaded the bases in the fourth inning on back-to-back singles to Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos and a walk to Rhys Hoskins. After the rocky top of the fourth Walker had, there was Lindor, who worked Eflin’s pitches for a walk on full count.

During that first month of the season, Rougned Odor was a near-liability at the plate, batting .180. Take May 1, for instance, when Odor stepped in against the Boston Red Sox and launched his first home run of the season. And now on Saturday, at Fenway Park against the Red Sox once more, Odor continued what has been a resurgent month. Third baseman Ramón Urías drove in Austin Hays — who, with two hits, rose his batting average to a team-best .297 — before Odor stepped in and brought home three runs with one swing. But the Orioles didn’t need one, not after Odor’s blast and the work the bullpen did to shut the door.

The task is to exclude most of the stormwater now entering sanitary sewers and manage stormwater flows through a variety of well-known solutions. Over-land stormwater flows cause the erosion, destruction of properties and flooding described in The Enquirer. Some of the infrastructure improvements required for the sewer system would also greatly reduce over-land stormwater threats. But to fully address the over-land stormwater issue would require additional solutions for flows coming off undeveloped hillsides or down canyons, and filling low-lying areas. A regional public compensation fund set up using stormwater fees and other assessments would provide relief for the victims of stormwater environmental injustice.

It is clear an economic recovery is well under way, but the benefits of that recovery have been unevenly distributed. Though the overall Black unemployment rate has nearly returned to pre-pandemic levels, it is still almost twice the national average. The average person may think that the economy isn’t doing well because the normal state of the economy isn’t good enough for most people. These diverse groups agreed: the economy isn’t truly thriving when their immediate communities continue to face unemployment, underemployment and resource scarcity.

If the U.S. Supreme Court adopts the draft opinion, the court will be issuing an historic, precedent-breaking opinion based on the religious beliefs held by many of the current justices. The first sentence of the draft opinion states: "Abortion presents a profound moral issue on which Americans hold sharply conflicting views." If this opinion becomes final, states will be able to limit or eliminate abortion rights and put people’s lives in danger. But also based on this draft opinion, states will be able to restrict or eliminate other rights that the Roe v. Wade precedent currently protects. This draft opinion is moving America closer to having state-imposed religious-based laws.

Warnings of critical fire conditions blanketed much of the U.S. Southwest on Saturday, as crews in northern New Mexico worked to stop the growth of the nation's largest active wildfire. The 7-week-old fire, the largest in New Mexico history, has burned 491 square miles (1,272 square kilometers) of forest in rugged terrain east of Santa Fe since being started in April by two planned burns. Crews were patrolling partially burned areas and clearing and cutting containment lines, including primary ones near the fire as bulldozers scraped backup lines farther away. The National Weather Service issued red flag warnings of critical fire conditions for parts of Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah.

Scientists have successfully sequenced the genome of a man who died after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD for the first time. Pompeii is one of the world's most intensively studied archaeological sites, but getting detailed genetic information from the skeletal remains preserved in Pompeii had long eluded scientists. Before this latest study only short stretches of mitochondrial DNA from human and animal remains from Pompeii had been sequenced, a news release announcing the study said. "Individuals in Pompeii were not directly in contact with volcanic lava, but rather were enveloped in volcanic ash," Scorrano said. He said this created an oxygen-free environment, which helped preserve the DNA in the skeletal remains.

The sexual revolution has been a disaster for women – that was the provocative case set out by Louise Perry in yesterday’s Daily Mail. But the mood that it’s better to cut and run is catching, and in a culture of high divorce rates even marriages that last will run the risk of being undermined. Research shows that, despite the often valiant efforts of single mothers, children without fathers at home do not do as well as other children on average. Which is why – as a feminist – the most important piece of advice I can offer to the young women of today is this: get married and do your best to stay married. © Louise Perry, 2022Adapted from The Case Against The Sexual Revolution, by Louise Perry, published by Polity on June 2 at £14.99.

Some 3,000 policemen are to be deployed ahead of the march, due to begin at 4:00 pm (1300 GMT). Clashes surrounding the Jewish calendar date for Jerusalem Day last year led to an 11-day conflict after Hamas fired rockets at Israel, prompting Israel to launch strikes in response. On the eve of the march, Hamas called on Palestinians to gather at Al-Aqsa to "thwart the occupation's Judaisation schemes". Whereas Netanyahu chose a "noisy policy of capitulation" that ended with Hamas firing rockets at Israel, Bennett was adopting a "calm and calculated policy", the daily said. As a result, Mofaz said, Iran may "encourage" Palestinian armed factions to launch rockets at Israel.

One of the toughest parts of being a fantasy baseball manager is knowing when to cut bait on a player. The numbers aren’t eye-popping, but in a season in which the league average for batting average is .237, a guy posting such a strong number can be worth his weight in fantasy gold. Without a batting average over .300, he doesn’t hold much fantasy value, as he doesn’t hit for power and doesn’t have much speed. Everyone’s greatest fear in fantasy is dropping a player only for them to be picked up by a rival team and excel.

Russian artillery was also shelling the Lysychansk-Bakhmut road, which Russia must take to close a pincer movement and encircle Ukrainian forces. The governor of Luhansk, which along with Donetsk comprises the Donbas, said on Friday Russian troops had already entered Sievierodonetsk.

AccuWeather meteorologists say there is a chance for a new tropical storm south of Mexico to redevelop over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico during the opening days of the Atlantic hurricane season. When wind shear is high or strong, it can prevent a tropical system from developing. But if something does form during those opening days of the Atlantic hurricane season, which direction might it take? "This feature will need to be monitored late next week and beyond, but tropical development prospects appear to be very small at this early stage." With the end of May fast approaching tropical development prior to the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season is not expected this year, for the first time since 2014.

Although Agatha is a small tropical storm, forecasters expect the storm to strengthen to a hurricane as it turns toward the Mexican coast into early week. Agatha could be seen swirling south of Mexico on this GOES-East satellite imagery from Saturday afternoon, May 28, 2022. By early Sunday morning, Agatha is forecast to reach Category 1 hurricane strength (maximum sustained winds of 74-95 mph, or 119-153 km/h). "Flooding rainfall is expected to be one of the biggest impacts across southern Mexico and parts of Central America," Pydynowski said. Rain amounts of 6 inches (150 mm) or more are expected to be widespread across southern Mexico from Sunday through Tuesday.

They knew they needed just one win to earn another trip to the Women’s College World Series. Just one more victory after defeating Mississippi State on Friday afternoon in extra innings. After all, these are the Postseason Wildcats, a team that — following Saturday's 7-1, Super Regional-clinching win over Mississippi State in Starkville, Mississippi — is now 5-0 so far in the playoffs. Saturday's victory continued arguably the most improbable run to the Women's College World Series in program history. The Wildcats started the Pac-12 season 0-8, then slowly turned things around in the back half of the season, going 4-6.

The Rockies split a doubleheader with the Nationals on Saturday, with their pitchers getting blasted in Game 1 before Chad Kuhl salvaged the day with a quality start in Game 2. After the Rockies handed out seven walks and hit a batter in Game 1, Kuhl allowed seven hits and walked just one over six-plus innings, with seven strikeouts. Left-hander Austin Gomber had his second-worst start in a Rockies uniform in Game 1. The Rockies received a 3-for-5 day from Charlie Blackmon in the first game and Blackmon also contributed an RBI single in the second game. The Nationals were 8-for-15 with runners in scoring position in Game 1, but 1-for-16 in that scenario in Game 2.

Unfortunately, not everyone wants to state the obvious — that America’s gun laws need to change to prevent an 18-year-old kid from purchasing an assault rifle and committing mass murder. I just wish they would have taken it one step further and called for sensible gun reform, as other organizations have done. “Our focus on this gift was empathy for the victims and support for an agency that works to reduce these instances in the future, hopefully,” White Sox executive vice president Scott Reifert said. “And it’s all that’s right in this country, and it’s you’re right to dislike or protest all you want. But unless more organizations follow the path of the Heat and Warriors and advocate for sensible gun laws in this country, we’re probably right back where we started.

Cubs lefty Wade Miley wanted to make one thing clear Saturday, before a game against the White Sox that he said he was originally scheduled to start: “I’m not hurt. I’m a little banged up.”Miley is dealing with some shoulder discomfort, which he likened to middle-of-spring training dead arm. Instead, left elbow inflammation halted Miley’s ramp-up process before he threw in a game and landed him on the 10-day injured list to start the season. Cubs manager David Ross wasn’t as bullish when asked if Miley would avoid the IL. “For me, I’ll say that the 20 best minutes of my day every day are driving my kids to school,” Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said.

Cast members of Mad Apple by Cirque du Soleil perform during the premiere New York-New York Hotel & Casino In Las Vegas on May 26, 2022, in Las Vegas. “Mad Apple” totally committed here, with its New York-flavored acts, skyline backdrop and such touches as a yellow cab cruising across the stage. For all of its fast pacing and impressive acts, “Mad Apple” is still clocking at more than 85 minutes. The original “Mad Apple” concept was to wrap the main show with these two bracketing parties. “Mad Apple” is not the Cirque we’ve come to know over the years, and that is all right from here.

Sueños Music Festival has arrived in Grant Park, and it’s making history, too. This Memorial Day weekend, Grant Park is hosting the first and largest outdoor reggaetón festival to ever take place downtown. Some VIP ticket holders were not too happy with the placement of the VIP viewing area (for which they paid a higher ticket price). Lana Mar, a VIP ticket holder, said that the change felt “unfair” because she’d bought her ticket under the impression that the VIP area would be front-and-center. They were among the many VIP ticket holders who didn’t even about the VIP section situation.

Goodrow replaced Kevin Rooney, who had played in each of the first 12 games of the postseason. Gallant has used him at all three positions, left wing, center and right wing, and on all four lines, over the course of the season. With Goodrow in, and Motte back on the fourth line, Kaapo Kakko was moved back up onto a reunited Kid Line, with center Filip Chytil and left wing Alexis Lafrenière. Saturday was the Rangers’ 13th game in 26 days, and Fox has logged heavy minutes, leading the Rangers with an average ice time of 26:58 entering the game. “At this time of year, you've going to be ready to play every game,’’ Fox said.

And here was one radical idea: What if coach Gerard Gallant played Kreider and Panarin on the same line with center Mika Zibanejad? The issue with playing Panarin, Zibanejad and Kreider on the same line is that Kreider and Panarin both are left wings, so one of them would be playing out of position on the right side. Panarin and Zibanejad have not played together much in the three seasons since Panarin signed with the Rangers as a free agent in the summer of 2019. “I can’t pick on Panarin,’’ Gallant said Friday after the Rangers returned from Raleigh and prepped for Saturday’s game. Panarin entered Game 6 fourth on the team in playoff points.

Steve Reed, a Daniel Defense spokesperson, said in a statement that the company was “deeply saddened” by the Texas shooting.

Fish and Wildlife Office, began volunteering for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), collecting water samples and measuring water clarity. HOW IT WORKSThrough this program, volunteers do a simple water clarity test twice a month during the summer. Lake monitors venture to a designated spot in the lake, while stream monitors record data from the streambank or a bridge over it. Lake monitors are asked to sample the water from May through September, while stream monitors typically begin in April. Long-term water clarity data collected by volunteer water monitors help detect signs of degradation to a lake or stream.

CEO pay took off as stock prices and profits rebounded sharply as the economy roared out of its brief 2020 recession. Because much of a CEO’s compensation is tied to such performance, their pay packages ballooned after years of mostly moderating growth. Whatever its composition, the chasm in pay between CEOs and the rank-and-file workers they oversee keeps widening. Surveys suggest Americans across political parties see CEO pay as too high, and some investors are pushing back. For 2020, many companies rejiggered the intricate formulas they created to determine their CEOs’ pay.

Connecticut went on a 17-5 run across the last five minutes of the game to come away with the win.

Bonner had 14 points, seven rebounds and two blocks. Williams had 14 points, seven assists and five rebounds.

ATLANTA — The Crew hadn’t scored in over 180 minutes and had been shut out six of their past eight league games. For the second straight year, Crew captain Jonathan Mensah scored the opening goal off a corner kick. Then on an ensuing corner kick, Room saved a ball off the line to keep the Crew ahead. And none of which had to do with the Crew getting a road win without its top player in Lucas Zelarayan. It was the first road win of the season and only the fourth in 36 road games since the Crew won in Atlanta in September 2019.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — After the first round of play at the 2022 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship, just seven players and zero teams were under par. The boys from Norman were led by redshirt senior Chris Gotterup, who rose to T-6 on the individual leaderboard with a 4-under 66. The transfer from Rutgers was bogey-free through his first 14 holes, with his lone blemish coming on the par-4 15th. “You know, I got off to a really good start compared to yesterday, when I got off to a really bad start,” explained Gotterup. He only played a few holes during Thursday’s practice round and didn’t feel like he could play a full 18 on Friday.

But without both of their bats in Saturday night’s lineup, the Red Sox offense stalled. The Red Sox (22-25) have lost two out of three to the last-place O’s to start this weekend’s five-game series. In need of a spot starter on Saturday, the Red Sox selected Winckowski – who was part of the return in last year’s Andrew Benintendi trade – from Worcester. The Red Sox had chances, but had trouble cashing in. That’s when Bogaerts came on as a pinch-hitter, but he grounded out weakly to end the inning.

Plans to encourage more people to complain to police about anti-trans hate crimes could criminalise comedians such as Ricky Gervais, campaigners have warned. The Home Office is in the process of drawing up a new hate crimes strategy that aims to 'increase the reporting of all forms of hate crime', including those relating to gender identity. Those in favour of the proposals, which would see 'perpetrators' accused of 'non-crime hate incidents', hope people will feel better protected from harm. Either way, it is astonishing that legislators are planning to expand the discredited and unlawful practice of recording non-crime hate incidents [NCHIs]. She said: 'Increases in police-recorded hate crime have been driven by improvements in crime recording, better identification of what constitutes a hate crime and increased victim willingness to come forward.

A Texas Army veteran has taken it upon himself to guard his daughter's elementary school following the massacre in Uvalde, which saw 19 young children and two teachers slaughtered last week. He emailed the superintendent of the Killeen Independent School District at 1am to see if he could guard outside Saegert Elementary - where his daughter goes to school and his wife works as a school nurse.

Vladimir Putin has reportedly been given warned he has just three to years to live as Russian intelligence sources become increasingly worried about their ailing leader. An FSB officer described the Russian president's condition as a 'severe form of rapidly progressing cancer', as speculation ramped up that Putin was suffering with some form of serious illness amid the invasion of Ukraine. General SVR wrote last week: 'On the night of Monday May 16 to Tuesday May 17, Russian President Vladimir Putin underwent a surgical operation. Amid news of his increasing isolation the Russian President has also seized control of the military operation in Ukraine, personally handing orders out to generals and struggling to delegate responsibilities. Meanwhile, the head of the main intelligence directorate of Ukraine's ministry of defence declared last week Putin is cutting himself off from close contact with his subordinates to avoid any assassination attempts.

'Liz Cheney hates the voters of the Republican Party and she has for longer than you know. Trump visited Casper, Wyoming nearly three months before the Wyoming GOP primary on August 16, 2022 where the candidate he endorsed – Harriet Hageman – is the favorite to win.

(Yonhap)TOKYO -- Defense ministers of South Korea, the United States and Japan have been arranging trilateral talks on the sidelines of an annual security forum in Singapore next month, Japan's Kyodo News reported Sunday. Should the three-way talks take place, they would mark the first such in-person gathering since November 2019. The defense ministers of South Korea and the US are likely to hold bilateral talks on the sidelines of the security forum, but Seoul and Tokyo are unlikely to hold bilateral defense talks, the report said. North Korea has staged ballistic missile tests at a record pace this year, including at least four suspected launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Officials in Seoul have said North Korea appears to have completed "all preparations" for a nuclear test, which would mark North Korea's seventh nuclear test if conducted.

Earlier this month, Politico obtained a leaked draft decision from the US Supreme Court that suggested Roe v Wade, the federal ruling protecting abortion rights, would be overturned. While that decision hasn't been finalized, states across the country are readying policies that would alter access to abortion, should the ruling be struck down. Washington could become one of the few "safe states" for abortion access. Ferguson confirmed that, even if the draft opinion is adopted by the Supreme Court, abortion access in Washington will not change. Ferguson said his office is "intensely interested in the type of law" that would impact Washington state residents or anyone coming to Washington to have a safe and legal abortion in the state.

A ballot tabulator using Dominion Voting Systems is seen as the Washoe County Voters Registrar gave press a tour of their facility and explained the process ahead of the midterm elections on April 27, 2022. The vulnerabilities affect a type of Dominion ballot-marking device known as the Democracy Suite ImageCast X, according to the CISA advisory, that is only used in certain states. “Of note, states’ standard election security procedures would detect exploitation of these vulnerabilities and in many cases would prevent attempts entirely. The computer scientist, J. Alex Halderman, was given physical access over several weeks to the Dominion ballot-marking devices, which print out a ballot after voters make their choice on a touch screen. The nature of computing means all software has vulnerabilities if you look closely enough, and software used in elections is no different.

They also apparently make a good time for fake tough guys to expose themselves as cowards. Examples are emerging as more details come to light about the massacre at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Tex., and the responses of politicians, companies and cops in its wake. To be clear–and for purposes of the requisite disclaimer to pre-empt the Blue Lives crowd that’ll jump in my DMs after reading this–there were heroes in Uvalde. Likewise for the Border Patrol agents who eventually cut down the killer–assuming that the latest law enforcement version of events is actually true. Videos have emerged of cops cuffing, tackling and otherwise restraining frantic parents while the shooter was still inside the school, alive.

Russian president Vladimir Putin has been claimed to have cancer, by senior Ukrainian sources.

DALLAS – China is prohibiting Russian Boeing and Airbus aircraft owned by foreign leasing companies from flying through its territory. According to the report, China has requested proof that the aircraft in question are no longer registered outside of Russia.

Western leasing companies that have terminated their Russian contractors own a large portion of Russia’s air fleet. But according to RBK, the procedure has been recently amended in China.

Morally, Vladimir Putin deserves to keep none of his territorial gains. Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot be trusted with ending his invasion on his own promise. Even temporary, internationally unrecognized territorial gains for Putin will be a bitter pill for Ukraine. (Indeed, the Ukraine war and its aftermath may well provoke a wholesale rethinking by the West of its entanglement with China, too). And the US and allies can, must, take real steps to make sure that any future Putin incursion would get stopped cold.

Since everyone has played under one shield, since 1970, there have never been any notable decrees of conference pride.

Three weeks after 17 people were gunned down in 2018 inside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., then-Florida Gov. Interviews this week with Republican senators revealed little stomach for the sort of sprawling bill that Florida Republicans passed in 2018. There is little evidence that the sort of sprawling compromise bill that won approval in Florida could come together on Capitol Hill. The shooting happened in the middle of the state’s 60-day legislative session, which created an opportunity and deadline for quick action. Most Florida Democrats, meanwhile, did not consider the bill a victory — at least, not at first.

He recalled how, early in the war, he saw images of his hometown on fire and left to join the fight two days later. He’s mired in divorce proceedings, initiated before he left for Ukraine, and occasionally hears from friends who update him over text about their successful tank harvests.

Shattered parents and gun control advocates went into action in 1996 after a former Scout master fatally shot 16 children and their teacher at an elementary school in Dunblane, Scotland. After they battled to effectively ban handguns for civilians in the U.K. (automatic weapons were outlawed after a previous mass killing), there hasn’t been another mass school shooting in the U.K. since. But North is losing faith that Americans are capable of gun control and saving lives lost to bullets. But similar nations with similar “frontier” views — like Canada and Australia — have managed to enact effective gun control measures, North noted. Trump, speaking at the National Rifle Association convention in Texas on Friday, called gun control efforts “grotesque.”

Sergio Cossio made a statement in the Lux Fight League 22 main event Thursday in Mexico. That statement might be the subject of a little controversy and debate, though – but not necessarily through any fault on Cossio’s part. She looked like she might be ready to jump in to let Delgado fully restart, but never did – and Cossio took advantage. That little hesitation on the ref’s part allowed Cossio to quickly turn around from a walk-away that never really happened. Sergio Cossio acted like he was letting Edgar Delgado off the hook.

HOUSTON (Reuters) -Striking union workers at Chevron Corp's Richmond, California, refinery voted on Saturday to ratify the latest contract offered by the company, ending a 10-week strike without achieving their goal of additional pay to counter rising health care costs, said sources familiar with the vote. At least 60 workers had crossed the picket line and returned to the refinery before a tentative agreement was reached on Thursday. The sources said the members of Local 12-5 ratified the contract by a narrow margin on Saturday. Chevron did not offer the local pay increase before the strike. Chevron has kept the refinery in operation with managers, supervisors and workers who crossed the picket line.

Yet another Champions League title for Real Madrid, the undisputed king of Europe. It evoked memories of the violence that marred the European Championship final at Wembley Stadium 10 months ago. They lost out on the Premier League title by one point last weekend and the Champions League to a Madrid team that had one shot on target in the final. Marcelo is one of a slew of Madrid players to capture a fifth Champions League title, just one off the record held by Francisco Gento, a Madrid great from the 1950s and 1960s.

By Julien PretotPARIS -Real Madrid secured a record-extending 14th European Cup when they beat Liverpool 1-0 in a Champions League final delayed for more than half an hour after police tried to stop people trying to force their way into the Stade de France on Saturday. Liverpool were looking for their seventh European Cup triumph but despite their best efforts they were left in awe of Courtois’s sublime performance. [L1N2XK09D]Liverpool had won the previous European Cup final both teams had played in Paris, winning 1-0 at the Parc des Princes in 1981, which was Real’s last defeat in a final. Liverpool were the slight favourites on Saturday but Real beat the Merseyside club for the second time in a row after their 3-1 victory in 2018.

With the 1-0 win over Juergen Klopp’s side, Ancelotti became the first coach to claim the Champions League four times, with his second victory as Real boss coming after two triumphs with AC Milan. Defending champions Chelsea were next, beaten in extra time thanks to another Benzema goal before the Frenchman then got the decisive goal in the remarkable late comeback to beat Premier League champions Manchester City in the semi-final. While Klopp boasted about his team being “mentality monsters” and never struggled to find superlatives to describe his players, Ancelotti, true to form, was much more understated. In their six games against top four opponents in the Premier League this past season, Liverpool failed to win, drawing them all. Yet it is Real, seen by many at the start of the season as an ageing, fading force, who finished with a rare LaLiga and Champions League double.

By Karolos GrohmannPARIS – Liverpool deserved more from their losing Champions League final against Real Madrid on Saturday after dominating the match but they will be back to challenge again for Europe’s elite club trophy, coach Juergen Klopp said. It was Real’s fourth Champions League title in seven years as they improved their impressive record in the competition with their eighth victory in as many finals. “We had more shots on target but the most decisive stat is on Madrid’s side,” Klopp told a news conference. “We saw we did a lot of good things but it was not enough,” Klopp, who has guided Liverpool to three Champions League finals and one victory in 2019. The Merseyside club, who a few weeks ago were aiming for a quadruple, end the season having won both domestic cups but missing out on the Premier League and Champions League.

Gareth Southgate says that winning the Premier League at Manchester City will reassure Jack Grealish after his mixed first season under Pep Guardiola.

Grealish signed for City from Aston Villa for £100m last summer and won the Premier League'He's learned a lot positionally,' said the England boss. He's the one who likes to be the provider, who might play a pass before the assist, he's a different type of player.

Thibaut Courtois said after Real Madrid's triumph over Liverpool at the Stade de France that he does not get enough respect, 'especially in England'. Because I don't get enough respect, especially in England.

Courtois doubled down on his comments and said that this Champions League win for relatives of his that have passed away. For my loved ones who have passed, I was going to win a Champions League.'

Jurgen Klopp did his best to lift Liverpool’s shattered players by setting them the target of winning the Champions League in Istanbul in 2023.

When I met my husband 15 years ago, like most men he looked at other women. Walking down the street, in the car, shopping, in restaurants or pubs — my husband stares at other women. I don’t know if my husband would settle and worry that my own children would end up moving away as we all did. You say you don’t know if he would settle or whether the move would be good for ‘us’ — and so I fear you may not have levelled with him.

Vinicius Junior celebrates after scoring for Real Madrid in the Champions League final against LiverpoolParis (AFP) – Vinicius Junior scored the only goal of the game as Real Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0 in Saturday's Champions League final in Paris to become kings of Europe for a record-extending 14th time after a night marred by problems outside the ground that led to the kick-off being delayed by over half an hour. The two competitons we couldn't win, we didn't win for the smallest possible margin," said Klopp. Instead Real have a fifth Champions League in nine seasons to go with their Spanish title, as Carlo Ancelotti becomes the first coach to win European club football's greatest prize for a fourth time. Ancelotti was also in charge of Real when they won the 2014 final having triumphed with AC Milan in 2003 and in 2007, the latter victory coming against Liverpool. The final was only moved to the French capital after Saint-Petersburg was stripped of the game following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Beaten in 2014 finalYet his spell at Atletico also included an agonising defeat at the hands of Ancelotti's Real in the 2014 Champions League final. Referencing Italy legend Gianluigi Buffon, who never won a Champions League, Courtois expressed his delight at finally getting his hands on the biggest prize in the club game. "Buffon is maybe the greatest goalkeeper in history but he never won the Champions League. However, he stated after Saturday's final that he feels he does not get the respect he deserves back in England. Karim Benzema has got most of the attention after scoring 15 goals on Real's Champions League run, including 10 in a dramatic series of knockout wins over Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City.

Scheffler, among eight players sharing the 18-hole lead and four co-leaders after 36, had not made a bogey over the first 52 holes before stumbling at the 17th. But he responded with a dramatic birdie at the 18th to stretch his lead back to two entering Sunday's final round. I hit it a little bit too firm," Scheffler said of his final birdie. Scheffler could become the first world number one to win the event since Australian Adam Scott in 2014. Todd dropped his approach to four feet to set up a birdie at the sixth and rolled in a 30-foot birdie putt at the par-3 eighth, then parred his way to the clubhouse.

And about 80 percent of people say gun purchasers should be subject to background checks, even when they buy their guns in a private sale or at a gun show. But surveys also reflect the deepening polarization in the country, where about 30 percent of adults say they own a gun. A sizable majority of people who do not own guns favor banning high-capacity ammunition magazines and creating a federal database to track all gun sales, according to Pew. The response to mass shootings in the United States is starkly different than the decisive action taken in other developed countries around the world. Australia held a mandatory gun buyback after a 1996 massacre and the rate of mass shootings plummeted.

The parents of one of the victims killed in the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, earlier this week told ABC News they turned down an invitation to meet with Texas Gov.

May 28 (Reuters) - The Iranian army has given some details - but not the exact location - of an underground base for its military drones, state media reported on Saturday, amid simmering tensions in the Gulf. State TV said 100 drones were being kept in the heart of the Zagros mountains, including Ababil-5, which it said were fitted with Qaem-9 missiles, an Iranian-made version of air-to-surface U.S. Hellfire.

Very credible information and we will have a course on Monday where we will review, review, adopt measures, etc.,” Arnautovic said. When asked where these attacks could come from, Arnautovic did not want to answer and added that they would leave him some time until Monday. “The IT service assures us that we are on a constant border to break our system due to lack of funds and equipment that should help us stop cyber attacks,” the CEC president said, Klix.ba writes.

In 2020, gun violence overtook car accidents to become the No. In the U.S., kids are more likely to die from gun violence than in other wealthy countriesFor years, researchers at the University of San Francisco and Harvard T.H. The numbers of gun-related deaths and injuries are climbingFive years ago, just under 4,000 children and teens up to the age of 17 were killed or injured by gun violence, according to the Gun Violence Archive. That same year, 513 people died in mass shootings, according to the Gun Violence Archive — meaning mass shootings accounted for about 1% of all gun deaths in 2020. Of those who died, 52% were murdered, 40% died from gun suicide and 5% were killed unintentionally.

For people in Djibo, a town in northern Burkina Faso near the border with Mali, any help can’t come soon enough. Burkina Faso is facing its worst hunger crisis in six years, more than 630,000 people are on the brink of starvation, according to the UN. “We no longer have animals, we don’t have food to buy in the market … If you have children, you don’t have a choice,” she said.

The BBC tracked down one of the men implicated. According to the report he was dead, but we spoke to him on social media. He requested anonymity but says he was not aware of the Russian report and that he left Ukraine before the invasion and returned to Morocco.

BEIJING: The UN rights envoy on Saturday (May 28) said her contentious visit to China was "not an investigation", and insisted she had unsupervised access during meetings in Xinjiang, where Beijing is accused of widespread human rights abuses. Bachelet has come under fire from rights groups and Uyghurs overseas, who say she has stumbled into a six-day Communist Party propaganda tour, including a meeting with President Xi Jinping in which state media suggested she supported China's vision of human rights. Her office later clarified that her remarks did not contain a direct endorsement of China's rights record. "This visit was not an investigation," she told reporters, later insisting she had "unsupervised" access to sources the UN had arranged to meet in Xinjiang. It is the first trip to China by the UN's top rights envoy in 17 years and comes after painstaking negotiations over the conditions of her visit, which the UN says is neither a fact-finding mission nor a probe.

Amid Russia’s war, seeking help has become extremely difficult for the victims of domestic abuse. Kateryna Pavlichenko, deputy interior minister, reported that about 326,000 domestic violence cases were registered in Ukraine last year. She added that doctors are obliged not only to provide assistance to domestic violence victims but also to document such cases. “I know how often domestic violence cases don’t even end up in court, no proceedings are opened,” she said. “Domestic violence cases are taken very seriously here,” she said.

When you’re lucky enough to have a dog in your life, you tend to overlook some of the more one-sided aspects of the relationship. So naturally, we now have this poop-shooting laser turret to helpfully guide you through your backyard cleanup sessions. To point them out, he attached a laser pointer to a cheap robot arm, and used OpenCV to help line up the bright green spot on each poop. So now instead of having a dog control his life, he’s got a dog and a computer running the show. We joke, because poop, but really, this is a pretty neat exercise in machine learning.

Prior to Columbine, law enforcement was commonly trained in tactical principles called ICE, which stood for isolate (the suspect), contain (the suspect) and evacuate (the scene). The Columbine shooting forced law enforcement to reprioritize their focus in responding to active shooter situations. The safety priorities list deems hostages and innocent civilians as top priority, followed by law enforcement and then suspects, Eells said. All law enforcement officers in Texas are trained to follow guidelines for handling active shooters. In March, the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District hosted active shooter training for Uvalde-area law enforcement officers, according to its Facebook page.

It’s a tease: can you catch me?”The foreboding posts, however, are often lost in an endless grid of Instagram photos that feature semi-automatic rifles, handguns and ammunition. ADVERTISEMENTFor law enforcement and social media companies, spotting a gun post from a potential mass shooter is like sifting through quicksand, Schweit said. That makes it difficult for platforms to separate people posting gun photos as part of a hobby from those with violent intent, said Sara Aniano, a social media and disinformation researcher, most recently at Monmouth University.

That’s a lot of time to form a lot of questions about the new film and its relationship to its predecessor — and we’ve got answers. Both films begin with Maverick (Cruise) engaging in a display of hot-dogging that gets him called on the carpet — but not really, since he’s sent to Top Gun, essentially promoted, by its conclusion. The goings-on at the Navy flight school include dogfight exercises, philosophical conflicts and a love story.

“That split caused a lot of drama, and no one knew who to follow or where to watch the races,” said Juan Pablo Montoya, a Colombian driver who has won multiple races in both IndyCar and Formula 1. In 2008, the series reunited under the IndyCar name and in 2020 was purchased by the entrepreneur and American racing magnate Roger Penske. Montoya said the new ownership, combined with Formula 1’s rising popularity in the United States, had drivers feeling optimistic about IndyCar’s future. “There is a lot of positive momentum in IndyCar right now,” Montoya said. “And if you like Formula 1, the next closest thing in the U.S. is IndyCar, where the racing is very competitive and anyone can win on any given week.

This ultraviolent contagion apocalypse movie is an unhinged joyride through genre madness that will unsettle your guts and your brain. That’s a no-joke warning and an enthusiastic recommendation. When Kat winds up at a hospital under siege, she meets a demented virologist who mansplains to her how bad men — misogynists, corrupt politicians, virus deniers — are successfully undermining a good society. “There can no longer be truth.”When the Canadian writer-director-editor Rob Jabbaz showed it at Fantasia, a genre festival that’s not for lightweights, the program included a rare trigger warning. If that sounds like a transgressive badge of honor, this fearless, feminist, furious film has your name on it.

“Oh my God, this is insane,” said Leah McSweeney, the reality TV star. …” Her voice cut off as her head slipped below the water. It bobbed back up a second later as Ms. McSweeney fled the frigid plunge pool and reached for a towel. Ms. McSweeney, 39, a star of the latter seasons of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” has been a regular patron for nearly a decade, enjoying the sauna, the shvitz, the treatments. In the 12th season of “RHONY,” she brought her moneyed co-stars to the spa.

But France’s interior minister, Gerald Darmanin, repeated UEFA’s version of events in a Twitter post. “Thousands of British ‘supporters’ without tickets or with counterfeit tickets forced entry and sometimes assaulted the stewards,” he wrote. UEFA officials initially seemed to lay the blame for the problems on “late-arriving fans,” even though huge crowds had been stuck at the gates for hours before the scheduled kickoff. “They closed every turnstile Liverpool-related,” Smith said. “Fans waited two hours, orderly, nothing out of order, and we were tear-gassed.” He said there was little information or direction from stadium staff.

DUBLIN — The Long Room, with its imposing oak ceiling and two levels of bookshelves laden with some of Ireland’s most ancient and valuable volumes, is the oldest part of the library in Trinity College Dublin, in constant use since 1732. But that remarkable record is about to be disrupted, as engineers, architects and conservation experts embark on a 90 million euro, or $95 million, program to restore and upgrade the college’s Old Library building, of which the Long Room is the main part. The library, visited by as many as a million people a year, had been needing repairs for years, but the 2019 fire at Notre Dame cathedral in Paris was an urgent reminder that it needed to be protected, according to those involved in the conservation effort.

Several other key actors, including Hjort Sorensen, who plays the journalist Katrine Fonsmark, also came back. “What’s brilliant,” Hjort Sorensen said, “is that 10 years have passed, both in real time and for the characters. “I definitely struggled with my vanity on her behalf,” Hjort Sorensen said. “She’s faced with a choice: Are you going to leave the scene gracefully, or are you going to remain in the game?” Price said. “Knowing that remaining in the game means that your hands will be very dirty.” The real action of this “Borgen” happens on the massive, ice-covered island of Greenland, 2,000 miles from Copenhagen.

Six games into a playoff series, there are no lingering secrets between the Rangers and the Hurricanes. So how would Carolina respond to a Rangers team presumably playing with desperation while facing elimination on Saturday night at the Garden? The Hurricanes celebrate a goal during Game 5 of the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. They’ve played hard, we’ve played hard. Other than this last game, I think both coaches have been happy with the way their teams have played, all five games.

An adult man was killed after his motorized bike was struck by an MTA bus in Queens, police said. Cops said an unidentified man operating the motorized bike eastbound on 128th Avenue was hit by the Q85 bus, which was traveling southbound on 238th Street at about 10:40 a.m. Saturday.

A convicted rapist who was recently released from prison allegedly returned to the street where he committed his crime and sexually assaulted a woman, authorities said. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg police arrested Robert Lamar McFadden on two counts of first-degree rape and two counts of first degree sex offense, authorities said. He’s allegedly been linked to an earlier burglary in the neighborhood the same day the rape occurred, police said. McFadden had been convicted in a rape that occurred on the same block more than a decade earlier, WBTV reported. He was released from prison in April, according to the Charlotte Observer, citing prison records.

Something very interesting was going on in the Steuart Building. O’Connor said that from mid-1956 through December 1962, the upper floors of the Steuart Building were the clandestine location of the CIA’s Photographic Intelligence Division, or PID. And that’s where the Steuart Building came in. Its ultimate destination was the Steuart Building, where interpreters pored over the images, using tools to discern the size and orientation of various structures. On Oct. 16, 1962, Lundahl went to see John F. Kennedy at the White House, 11 blocks from the Steuart Building.

The NYPD rookie who was caught on tape giving her lieutenant a raunchy lap dance has been suspended without pay for launching into a loud tirade at New Jersey state troopers over a relative’s drunk driving arrest. She then began loudly demanding answers as to why her brother-in-law had just been arrested by state troopers for driving while intoxicated. Mekuli, 27, identified herself as an NYPD officer and insisted on speaking with one of the troopers involved in the arrest. The 27-year-old officer has been suspended without pay. An NYPD spokesperson confirmed the cop was suspended without pay but declined to say how long.

I think I’m in such a weird, unique situation where he did everything he agreed to do, and it’s amazing that he did that.

Launcher News Video game developers want fair online games. For Jordan “HusKerrs” Thomas, a popular streamer and competitive “Call of Duty: Warzone” player, skill-based matchmaking is a labor issue. Hate for skill-based matchmaking is hardly a phenomenon confined to top streamers or salty Call of Duty players. The results showed that their engagement-optimized matchmaking strategy showed a small but statistically significant improvement in keeping players playing over a pure skill-based matchmaking strategy. But what defines the dynamic is the fact that skill-based matchmaking is a business strategy designed to keep players coming back.

The grounds were shaded by old oaks and maples and dotted with stone benches that looked out on a quiet, marshy cove. On early mornings, the resident birds would practice their trills and arpeggios, greeting the neighbors and welcoming the day. In that small sanctuary, the dead watched eternally over the living, and the living awakened to celebrate each new dawn. In the streets, more than 90 people were dead, and I spent the day watching charred corpses being unloaded outside a hospital. Two weeks ago, when the urgent call came from my old friend in Connecticut, it felt like a lifeline.

Placeholder while article actions loadA prominent Republican-appointed federal judge on Thursday joined calls for Supreme Court justices to be subject to an ethics code, saying a failure by judges to police their own misconduct lessens Americans’ respect for the judiciary. “As a court system — federal, state and otherwise — we are under scrutiny and under attack. And because of that I think all judges should be subject to a code of ethics,” Walton said in his interview.

Strategic ambiguity is not merely designed to deter China, after all — though that is one key aim. To begin with the basics, strategic ambiguity tries to mitigate two potential pathways to war. Second, China might attack Taiwan to prevent the United States and Taiwan from becoming too closely allied. Those arrangements are consistent with strategic ambiguity, but recent hawkish rhetoric from many in the United States isn’t. In addition, the United States should work with Taiwan to counter looming unconventional threats to Taiwan, including Chinese threats to Taiwan’s cybersecurity.

For more than six years, the Rand Corp., through its Gun Policy in America initiative, has been evaluating the available scientific evidence on the effects of gun laws on a wide range of outcomes, including homicides, suicides and mass shootings. We have reviewed thousands of scientific articles to identify those that credibly estimate the effects of 18 different gun laws that are commonly debated in state legislatures. Of course, we should not expect to implement laws only for which we have strong scientific evidence. The two problems — weak studies or no studies — are related: For decades, we in the United States have underfunded research and data collection efforts that could help us establish the effects of gun laws and other firearm violence prevention interventions. We have extraordinary levels of firearms violence in this country — but also research-proven ways to reduce it.

Almost every day, between 10 percent and 25 percent of Americans reported feeling sadness the previous day. Days after the Sandy Hook mass shooting, Americans’ reports of sadness and anger returned to their normal levels. But the impact of mass shootings on the emotions of respondents lasts for only a few days, and then it is gone, indistinguishable from the longer time trend. But the pattern of policy responses to mass shootings suggests a link. The right tells us that now is not the time to politicize the latest mass shooting.

Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme collapsed not because of law enforcement derring-do or its inherent contradictions, but because of the financial crisis. It was only when the subprime contagion sank the broader markets that Madoff’s investors sought to take their profits off the table. No need to really understand any of the supposedly innovative technology behind it (blockchain is 30 years old, but never mind that). The problem with get-rich-quick schemes is that they are based on lies, and people invariably lose the money they put into them. With many crypto investors (who bought in when prices were higher) now in the red, the question is just how bad the damage will be — and just how many are swimming naked.

(Reuters) -Russia needs huge financial resources for its military operation in Ukraine, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said on Friday, putting the amount of budget stimulus for the economy at 8 trillion roubles ($120 billion). "Money, huge resources are needed for the special operation," Siluanov said in a lecture at a Moscow financial university. The measures would cost the federal budget around 600 billion roubles this year and about 1 trillion roubles in 2023, Siluanov said earlier this week. Earlier on Friday, Siluanov also defended capital controls and asset freezes for foreign investors from "unfriendly" countries that Moscow imposed in response to Western sanctions. Siluanov said restrictions on capital moves for foreign investors could remain in place until either sanctions are lifted or reserves are unfrozen.

KING CITY — One person has been found dead in the area burned by a wildfire started along the Salinas River in King City this week, the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Friday. It burned about 90 acres in a riverbed area just north of downtown King City and south of the Highway 101 bridge. Just before 5 p.m. Wednesday, shortly after flames broke out, King City police issued an evacuation order warning for areas southwest of River Drive and Rio Vista Drive between Broadway Street and Canal Street and west to the Salinas River. It wasn’t until Thursday morning that the body was discovered in a “pit of sorts,” Thornburg said. Thornburg said that at this time, it is unknown whether the person found was burned during the fire or the body was there before flames broke out.

MOSS LANDING — The Monterey Bay is now home to robotic lab assistants which collect aquatic DNA for researchers to analyze onshore. That DNA could help researchers understand the animals, plants and microbes that teem in the Monterey Bay and the ocean beyond. This new robot can follow that nightly migration and help researchers identify its participants. This technology will also make it easier to track the health of Monterey Bay. “How’s that going to change the cast of characters that are coming into the Monterey Bay?”But these robots will help researchers understand the ocean beyond the Monterey Bay as well.

More Todd Rundgren: Singer shares candid thought on saluting 'The White Album'Saluting the Beatles' 'Rubber Soul' and 'Revolver'The last time Rundgren came through Phoenix on an "It Was 50 Years Ago Today" tour was in 2019, celebrating the Beatles' self-titled album more commonly known as "The White Album." This time out, they're focusing on two iconic albums — "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" — that Rundgren thinks of as the "sweet spot" in his history with the Beatles. "Rubber Soul" came out in 1965 while he was in his senior year of high school. That's that's why they did a record like 'Get Back,' because it was supposed to be a roots record. "We're focusing more on the songs," Rundgren says.

On a day that Wood allowed only four hits over 5? innings, it was Farmer who came up with the big one. Two Reds had reached when Farmer stepped in for his first-ever at-bat against Wood in the first inning. He rounded the bases with his head down, then crossed home plate for the Reds’ third run of the first inning. After Farmer’s home run, Wood retired 15 of the next 16 batters he faced. Wood would get his in his next face off with Farmer, prevailing in a nine-pitch battle that ended with Farmer lining out.

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIONEW YORK (AP) — Airline travelers are not only facing sticker shock this Memorial Day weekend, the kickoff to the summer travel season. More than 1,400 flights were canceled as of 5;15 p.m EDT Saturday, according to flight tracking website FlightAware. Delta Air Lines suffered the most among U.S. airlines, with more than 240 flights, or 9% of its operations, eliminated on Saturday. Delta noted in an email to The Associated Press that Saturday’s cancellations were due to bad weather and “air traffic control actions,” noting it’s trying to cancel flights at least 24 hours in advance this Memorial Day weekend. However, airlines have thousands fewer employees than they did in 2019, and that has at times contributed to widespread flight cancellations.

The top-seeded LIU baseball team defeated No. 2 Bryant, 6-4, in the Northeast Conference Tournament semifinals at Dodd Stadium in Norwich, Connecticut, in 13 innings, the longest postseason game in NEC history. LIU advanced to the championship on the arm of NEC pitcher of the year Joshua Loeschorn, who earned the save after striking out NEC player of the year Matt Woods to end the game with the tying runs on base. “I told [associate] coach [Tom] Carty today, ‘If you need an inning out of me today, I’ve got it,’” Loeschorn said. This performance comes on the heels of Loeschorn dealing 121 pitches Thursday in LIU’s win over Farleigh Dickinson in the opening round.

A fast moving storm caused all three Nassau softball championship games at Mitchel Athletic Complex Saturday to be suspended until 11 a.m. Sunday. If East Rockaway is able to close out Game 2 Sunday they will play Carle Place in the Nassau small school championship on Tuesday, according to Ceruti. Carle Place, which will be the Nassau Class C representative, advanced by default after Friends Academy was unable to field a full team before Game 1 of their series was set to begin. The Rocks will then play Suffolk champion Babylon in the Long Island championship on Thursday at the Moriches Athletic Complex. The winners in Class AA and A will move on to play the Suffolk champions at the Moriches Athletic Complex on Saturday.

Everything for Commack baseball starts with leadoff man Joey Patane Jr. And there was an added incentive for Patane in Saturday’s championship game – he wanted to hit a home run for Dad. Patane drilled a two-out, two-run home run to snap a 4-4 fourth inning tie and send host Commack to a 6-4 win over Smithtown East in Game 1 of the Suffolk Class AA best-of-three championship series. Smithtown East cut the lead in half in the fourth. “Smithtown East battled every inning,” Salmon said. “He’s made plays like that all season,” said Smithtown East coach Rob Christiansen.

The group apparently also ran afoul of IRS rules that prohibit tax-exempt non-profits from giving any political candidate preferential treatment. KGW reporter Evan Watson and others at the event noted on social media how tense the crowd was during Johnson’s surprise appearance. He seemed not to realize the inherent political favor-playing of giving only one of the three major candidates for Oregon governor a platform. Rae defended the choice to add Johnson at the last minute, indicating it took courage on his team’s part. Until then, it was legal for holders of concealed carry permits to bring guns into all Oregon public school classrooms, gyms and stadiums.

Dear Annie: Several years ago, at a party of 50-some people, my daughter brought up politics and confronted me about my political pick. When my daughter learned her grandma was dying, she texted me an apology that seemed very sincere. Four years later, I stopped by my daughter’s house to see if she wanted to have lunch. As I am heading to the door, she says the reason she is really mad is because I told her sisters that I love her children -- yes, hers -- more than I love her sister’s children! She, at that point, was on my heel as I tried to leave.

Abortion is hard on a woman’s body and health: The risk of death associated with childbirth is approximately 14 times higher than that with abortion. Abortion is destroying the work force for this country: The working-age population is characterized as those aged 15 to 64.

The other teen, 14, lived far from an abortion provider, was too young to drive, had those telling her abortion was murder. The writer points out that abortion ends the potential of a human being, with its own unique characteristics.

MASON — Trailing 1-0 and about to serve for the first time in the Division I state championship match May 28 at Lindner Family Tennis Center, Brandon Carpico had his serve broken. In the second set of the rematch of last year’s state final, which Carpico won in straight sets, Carpico broke Gogineni’s serve twice but couldn’t hold serve in any of his attempts. Included on his docket was a matchup against Cincinnati Sycamore senior Chad Miller, a Northwestern recruit whom Carpico beat 6-3, 6-3 in a semifinal earlier May 28. In the first set against Miller, Carpico won a long point that included him returning one shot between his legs to go up 5-2. “He made some great shots and made some great points, but he struggled a little bit with his serve (in the state final),” Gahanna coach Chris Schwinnen said.

The former Cy Young Award winner had punched out at least 10 hitters in his last six starts against the Tigers. Tigers starter Alex Faedo came in with a streak of his own — he’d held opponents to two runs or fewer in all four of his big-league starts. Faedo now has allowed the second fewest runs (nine) over his first five starts in Tigers history. For one of the rare times this season, though, the bullpen faltered and the Indians scored four times in the seventh. That two-run homer gave him a five-RBI day, with three runs scored.

A Trinitarios street gang member caught up in a November 2019 law enforcement sweep of the Greater Lawrence area will serve 11 years behind bars for his role in trafficking in arms, ammunition, cocaine and fentanyl. On November 15, 2019, more than 70 federal, state and local law enforcement officers arrested 32 different people — 18 of whom were associated or allegedly associated with the Trinitarios gang — in the Greater Lawrence area, of which Gil-Padilla was one. Law enforcement took 79 guns, including assault weapons, that morning. Between April and August 2018, Gil-Padilla sold guns and drugs to people cooperating with law enforcement in an investigation into the street gang, according to the government’s sentencing memo. He made good profit, with the feds saying he got $1,800 for two handguns and 55.7 grams of cocaine hydrochloride for another $1,800.

Over the first half of the season, when performances like this one were more commonplace, it was called a lack of poise. “A lot has to do with our starts and having to play catch up the whole game,” Ime Udoka said on Saturday of the poise problem. Instead, it had more to do with how well Al Horford and the Celtics small lineup had done at closing the gap on Miami. Nothing we haven’t seen this year, Derrick had it going quite a bit. But, like I said, Derrick had it going a little bit, but we always want to stay aggressive and make the right play.

A Herald payroll analysis found that severance pay, search firm fees and superintendent salaries have cost taxpayers $1.4 million in that short amount of time. “I definitely think that money could have been better spent on reading specialists, nurses, librarians,” said Suleika Soto, a Boston Public Schools parent. The announcement came only months after the school committee extended Cassellius’s contract by two years. Now, taxpayers will have to spend $314,000 on severance, after they paid her $306,415 for calendar year 2021. “Ultimately, that cost is being paid by students, in many cases the most vulnerable — black and brown students, students with disabilities, English language learners, students experiencing poverty or homelessness,” Wilkinson said.

“Nobody has ever examined what it means to be a sports fan.”He probes deeply into what being a sports fan does to people’s psyche, behavior and attitude – individually and collectively. Today, Olmsted contends, sports fans are enjoying greater psychological advantages than ever, because interest in sports is waxing as interest in “social-gathering networks” (e.g. Olmsted is impressed with the pioneering research of Daniel L. Wann, a psychology professor at Murray State University in Kentucky. Olmsted writes that Jackie Robinson is probably the baseball player with the most profound effect on society. Olmsted takes Robinson’s influence a step further, declaring that “… millions of sports fans around the globe have been transformed into more tolerant human beings,” Olmsted writes.

Neil Hannum can think of no better way to enjoy oneself than engaging with history while cruising through the countryside on a bicycle. He has merged these ideas into Aztec Adventures to help like-minded people explore the culturally expansive Four Corners area. The initial offering, called Navajo Pueblitos Overnight Tour takes visitors back in time to the Spanish reincursion of the southwest following the Pueblo Revolt. Also known as Dinétah Pueblitos, the sites consist of small stone-and-timber structures usually found in well-guarded, high-ground sites along mesa rims and on isolated outcrops and boulders. “Or if they want to stay out there, we’ll feed them and camp out there.”The latter is particularly intriguing, Hannum said.

“(The PEEPS program) did give me the opportunity to go back into the work force.

While demand for the PEEPS program slowed during the pandemic, Fyffe said enrollment is starting to ramp up for next school year. Long-term plansAs the first year of the PEEPS program subsides, county officials are planning ways to sustain the program over time. The county’s also hoping Tucson will help pay for its portion of the PEEPS classes in city limits.

Teen mental healthEditor, Times-Dispatch:Teen mental health issues are on the rise in the United States. They have contributed to the decline in teen mental health, in complicated ways that are not fully appreciated. Social media use chips away at teens' self esteem by introducing them to fabricated versions of what life should look like. Social media is bad for teen mental health, but there are some solutions to help mitigate this problem. For example, teens can block users with negative comments, take time off from social media or have real human interactions.

Laketown Riots was created by Glover, an Albuquerque singer/songwriter. After releasing a number of self-produced albums of various genres, in 2020 Glover decided to focus solely on indie folk. The single is a gut-wrenching story of Tyke the Circus Elephant. “I think carting them around in unique conditions and forcing them to do tricks is traumatic for their well-being,” Glover said. “A lot of my fans, in their emails and DM’s, keep seeing this as a metaphor for something bigger,” he said in the press release.

A 7-foot juvenile great white shark pinged off the coast of Hampton Roads on Thursday evening, cruising parallel to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel as she heads north for the summer. “White sharks spend the summer and fall fattening up on seals before making their way south. When the New England water temperatures become too frigid for white sharks, they travel south — sometimes as far as the Gulf of Mexico, Finney said. Ocearch, a nonprofit group doing research on large marine animals including great white sharks, launched its shark tracker app in 2012 to allow people to observe the movements of sharks around the world. Martha was tagged near Cape Cod in the summer of 2020 as part of the Ocearch Massachusetts expedition.

Joe Biden lamented “too much violence, too much fear, too much grief” after the latest US mass shooting as he prepared to visit Uvalde, where police face intensifying scrutiny for waiting outside the classroom where a teenage gunman with an assault rifle killed 19 children and two teachers. The US president and first lady, Jill Biden, plan to travel to the small southern Texas city on Sunday. An ambulance was standing by and a state trooper assisted members of the public who came to mourn. Biden spoke about the tragedy in Uvalde during a commencement speech he gave on Saturday morning at the University of Delaware, his alma mater. Too much violence, too much fear, too much grief,” said Biden and called the Uvalde and Buffalo mass shootings acts of “evil”.

It makes sense, then, that her debut album, Baby, We’re Ascending, arrives to uncommon anticipation, both in the UK and in Australia. On songs like Bodies of Water and Baby, We’re Ascending, Haai’s music is as explicitly nature-focused – and undeniably of a piece. When it reaches its most pumping, Baby, We’re Ascending tends to sag; these songs feel slightly untethered, or even half-hearted, next to their spirited, amorphous cousins. Occasionally, Throssell finds a balance to the two warring halves of Baby, We’re Ascending. It’s a track that finds Throssell drawing together the best parts of each side of her music – ascending, just as she promised.

He suggests, incorrectly, that all it would take is a “smart TV, and some willpower”. Mr Orlowski offers two solutions: controlling access by either pay-TV set-top boxes or a “BBC premium” app for smart TVs in non pay-TV homes that allows access to encrypted broadcast channels. The first is that only 68 per cent of homes have a smart TV connected to broadband. The second is that DTT (Freeview), the UK’s largest TV platform, and Freesat have no conditional access system, so channels cannot be encrypted. As Mr Orlowski notes, there could be software solutions that provide conditional access to broadcast streams on smart TVs, and in specific scenarios they might not require internet access.

Courtois' saves had increased in their excellence as Salah forlornly tried to take the game into extra-time. For Salah it had been an excruciating wait to try and right the wrongs of the last final with Madrid. Each pass to Liverpool’s right from Jordan Henderson or Thiago did not so much encourage a dribble, but more an Egyptian dance, Salah easing past opponents with magnetic close control. Salah puffed out his cheeks on 34 minutes aware he could have done more with a header from another of the Liverpool right-back’s deliveries. He may have allowed himself the thought that he had already lasted four minutes longer than on his last appearance against Madrid in the final.

Jurgen Klopp told Liverpool fans to book their hotels for next year’s Champions League final in Istanbul because his players will bounce back from their defeat to Real Madrid. It is already a kind of success but not the kind of success you want. City during the [Premier League] season, they were one point better and tonight Madrid was one goal better. Even if nobody on this planet would understand we have a parade tomorrow, we still will do it. I really hope everybody has a chance to get to Liverpool tomorrow to celebrate together with us a fantastic season that didn’t end as we wanted.

There was no doubting the furious motivation for Thibaut Courtois as he produced the best performance ever from a goalkeeper in a Champions League final to deny Liverpool and ensure Real Madrid won the competition for a 14th time. "Today I needed to win a final for my career, for all the hard work to put respect on my name as I don't think I get enough respect, especially in England. "I saw a lot of tweets coming my way that I would get humbled today it was the other way round.”Real head coach Carlo Ancelotti was effusive. “Trust me I cannot believe what Thibaut Courtois did tonight, guys. Unbelievable,” he said of Courtois’ display and it was just that.

Palestinian investigators have concluded that she was shot by an Israeli soldier "with the aim of killing".

After 11 jam-packed days, Cannes Film Festival came to an end with its closing ceremony on Saturday evening. But not before handing out its highest accolade, the Palme d’Or award - which director Ruben Ostlund's walked away with for his film Triangle Of Sadness. It comes after Tom Cruise and Forest Whitaker both received honorary Palme d’Or awards during the first week of the festival. The big day was topped off with the the 3x Oscar nominee being presented with the honorary award - as he beamed for prideful snaps afterwards. The Palme d’Or is the highest award given over a two-week annual event and was introduced by the festival’s organising committee in 1955.

In the late 1970s, monetarists promised that if the Fed would focus only on controlling the supply of money, inflation could be tamed without increasing unemployment. But the Fed has periodically shadowboxed with “inflation expectations”—raising rates over time to “pre-empt” the invisible demons, and then congratulating itself when none appeared. Now, we are also seeing rising land prices (among other things), which feeds into (somewhat artificial) estimates of housing costs. Inflation rates are reported on a 12-month basis, so once any shock hits, it is guaranteed to generate headlines about “inflation” for 11 more months—a boon for the inflation hawks. Obviously, logically, inevitably, and despite all the crocodile tears about inflation harming ordinary Americans, the Fed is determined to stop rising wages.

Summary Russian fuel oil arrivals at Greek ports hit record in April – Refinitiv dataBeing shipped from offshore Greece to other destinationsEU considering ban on trade of Russian oilLONDON/ATHENS, May 18 (Reuters) - Russian fuel oil arrivals offshore Greece jumped to record levels in April, as sanctions on Moscow drive traders to find new ways to export Russian oil via ship-to-ship (STS) loadings, Refinitiv Eikon data showed and sources said. read moreIn April, shipments of Russian fuel oil with Greece as a destination reached nearly 0.9 million tonnes, about double March levels and could reach new records in May, according to Refinitiv data.

“If there’s any one individual in the United States to blame for our inability to put things in place to prevent gun violence, it’s Mitch McConnell,” said Peter Ambler, the executive director of Giffords, a group devoted to fighting gun violence. “McConnell knows where his members stand and makes the tough calls to protect their interests,” a senior Republican aide said, explaining McConnell’s overall motivations in addressing gun violence and gun legislation. Brown said that the staffer clearly seemed moved by Lewis, telling him that she held him in high esteem, and by the victims of gun violence, who recounted their stories one after another. The Senate Republican leader has spent his career working to delay, obstruct or prevent most major firearms restrictions from being approved by Congress. And McConnell is the head of the Republican Senate,” Feinblatt said.

Archaeologists working in the Yucatan region of Mexico have revealed the remains of a centuries-old Mayan city, local media reported on Friday. The city of Xiol — which means "the spirit of man" in Mayan — is believed to have been the home of some 4,000 people between 600 and 900 CE, during the late classic period. Archaeologists from the National Institute for Anthropology and History (INAH) then took over the site. The archaeologists also highlighted the array of palaces, pyramids and plazas found at the site as well as evidence of various social classes residing there. Several tools and ceramics dating back as far as the pre-classic period (700-350 BCE) were also displayed by the researchers.

Ukrainian officials say they urgently need advanced US-made mobile multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) to halt Russian advances in Luhansk and Donetsk. Moscow, keenly aware of the game-changing potential of the rocket systems, has already voiced strong objections. But doubts remain about which weapons systems will be provided, and the timing of the US move. Despite the delay, he insisted it was “not too late” to send new weapons to Ukraine. Military support can reduce over time and probably the economic support will become more important as the fighting gradually subsides.”

In November 2021, clashes resumed between Sudanese and Ethiopian forces in the Barakat Noreen area in al-Fashqa. Mekonnen's accusations against Sudan were not limited to the border dispute, as he also accused Khartoum of harboring terrorists, in reference to the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front (TPLF) fighters. Sudan refuses to engage in negotiations before a re-demarcation of the border is carried out and Ethiopia recognizes al-Fashqa area as Sudanese land. Ethiopia’s Ambassador to Khartoum Yibeltal Aemero Alemu said on Feb. 9 that Sudan and Ethiopia reached an agreement to peacefully resolve the border dispute. The border dispute between Sudan and Ethiopia is fueling wider tensions in the region, even affecting the controversial Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) that Addis Ababa is building on the Blue Nile.

(Eddie Moore/The Albuquerque Journal via AP)Warnings of critical fire conditions blanketed much of the U.S. Southwest on Saturday, as crews in northern New Mexico worked to stop the growth of the nation’s largest active wildfire. Crews were patrolling partially burned areas and clearing and cutting containment lines, including primary ones near the fire as bulldozers scraped backup lines farther away. The National Weather Service issued red flag warnings of critical fire conditions for parts of Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah. Nearly 3,000 firefighters and other personnel were assigned to the fire, which was contained around 48% of its perimeter. The fire forced the evacuation of a recreational vehicle park after starting Thursday and was 44% contained Saturday, officials said.

But the bank has been shut out of working for the state since the law went into effect in September. It would not be able to secure that contract until it is certified under the new law, known as S.B. This past week, calls for gun control grew louder after an 18-year-old attacked an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.

Three hundred miles away from Uvalde, raw divisions over gun rights in Texas were on vivid display on Friday as hundreds of gun control supporters protested outside an annual National Rifle Association convention in Houston. Inside, Mr. Trump and others blamed “evil” and an array of social ills for the attacks, but not easy access to guns. The Roman Catholic archbishop of San Antonio, whose territory includes Uvalde, said the N.R.A. But gun rights supporters are challenging those laws in court, and recently won a legal victory after an appeals court struck down California’s ban on selling semiautomatic guns to young adults. “To buy a weapon at 18 — it’s kind of ridiculous.”Even as many in Uvalde have said they want to focus their attention on the victims, the conversation about guns has been reverberating through town.

Tropical Storm Agatha, the first named storm this year in the eastern Pacific, is hurtling toward the Mexican coast and has the potential to become a hurricane, triggering life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, the National Hurricane Center said on Saturday. Agatha could make landfall on Monday as a Category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 100 miles per hour, Dennis Feltgen, a meteorologist and spokesman for the Hurricane Center, said on Saturday. Agatha was headed toward the largely rural Mexican state of Oaxaca and was expected to dissipate Wednesday morning. A hurricane watch was posted for the southern coast of Mexico, from Salina Cruz to Punta Maldonado. Mr. Feltgen said storms originating in the eastern Pacific did not generally reach the United States as hurricanes.

Reported organizational issues outside Stade de France, the site of Saturday’s Champions League final, resulted in multiple delays and attendee complaints of being tear-gassed. Many of those attendees, dressed in red, appeared to be Liverpool fans in videos shown across social media and during the CBS pregame broadcast. Liverpool issued a statement about those problems during the final, saying the club was “hugely disappointed at the stadium entry issues and breakdown of the security perimeter that Liverpool fans faced this evening at Stade de France.”“This is the greatest match in European football and supporters should not have to experience the scenes we have witnessed tonight,” it said in a statement. “We have officially requested a formal investigation into the causes of these unacceptable issues.”After the final, UEFA announced that it will review the pregame incidents with the French police and the French Football Federation. It said in a statement that “the turnstiles at the Liverpool end became blocked by thousands of fans who had purchased fake tickets which did not work in the turnstiles” in the run-up to the match, creating a build-up of fans seeking entry.

Days after the tragic events where 19 children and 2 teachers were killed in a Texas elementary school shooting, the country remains in mourning for the community of Uvalde. A day after the massacre, host Lisa Brady spoke to Congressman Tony Gonzales (R-TX) and FOX’s Eben Brown to get a sense of how the residents were reacting. Rep. Gonzales, who represents Uvalde, Texas, described the town before Tuesday’s horrible events, what actions his constituents wanted to be done and whether or not Congress could find a middle ground on gun safety legislation. Eben Brown spoke to citizens of Uvalde, Texas, some of which lost family members. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear the entire discussions with both Rep. Gonzales and FOX’s Eben Brown and hear even more about what both of them witnessed as they visited the small Texas city.

AP Photo/Petr David JosekThibaut Courtois' masterpiece and Vinicius Junior's 59th-minute goal off a beautiful Federico Valverde pass propelled Real Madrid to a 1-0 win over Liverpool in the Champions League Final on Saturday in Paris. Liverpool outshot Real Madrid 24-4. That was all Real Madrid needed thanks to Courtois' evening, and Real Madrid has now won 14 European Cups or Champions League titles, twice as many as any other club. Real Madrid needed a Karim Benzema hat trick to overcome a 2-0 deficit to Paris St-Germain in the Round of 16. There were new heroes Saturday as Courtois cemented himself as a legend, while Vinicius Jr. and Valverde did enough to catapult Real Madrid as the Champions League title.

It always does when Real Madrid is playing. The concrete stairs inside the Stade de France began to shudder as the celebrations from Real fans lasted almost five minutes. Thibaut Courtois produced a stunning display in goal for Real Madrid. Real fans felt it; so did Liverpool's. Though Jurgen Klopp's side continued to press until the end, celebrations had already started for the Madrid fans.

Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party would lose to the opposition in almost all key battleground constituencies if an election were held tomorrow — and the British prime minister would “likely” lose his own seat to Labour, according to a new poll. Conservative members have long considered Johnson, the firebrand Brexiteer, as the most effective winning ticket. The story looks very different today, according to the YouGov poll. “High-profile ‘Red Wall’ Conservative gains from 2019 … would fall back into Labour hands if an election were held tomorrow,” the pollster says. “Wakefield … would also return to Labour,” YouGov predicts.

Residents carry drinking water collected from a supply truck in the southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv | Genya Savilov/AFP via Getty ImagesPress play to listen to this article Voiced by Amazon PollyIn Russia's war on Ukraine, water is both a target and a weapon. Just three days after the start of the latest invasion, Russian forces destroyed a dam in Ukraine's Kherson region that had blocked water access to Russian-annexed Crimea. In Mariupol, a city in southeastern Ukraine, Russian soldiers shut off local water supply as part of a brutal siege on the city, leaving the trapped population without access to safe drinking water or sanitation. Blockading water supplies for local populations, as Russian forces did in Mariupol, has also proven to be a powerful tactic. “We're seeing more and more violence associated with water, as water becomes more scarce and more urgent and as climate change affects how much water we get and where we get it,” said Gleick, who tracks these conflicts in the World Water Chronology database.

The WTO made the bold but risky decision to facilitate talks between the four major players on the vaccine waiver debate – the EU, U.S., South Africa and India. With the world nearing a COVID vaccine surplus, many believe the debate has become more about the next health crisis rather than the current one. Two Geneva-based trade diplomats weren't convinced by China's pledge. The official added that this had the effect of slowing down the talks, but both countries defended their inputs. "Switzerland is actively and constructively engaged" in the talks, a spokesperson said, while pointing out that "questions remain" regarding the text.

Western sanctions, intended to hurt Russia, have led to a surge in export revenues, at least in the short term. "Russia's current account surplus and the inflows it represents help Russia's economy by keeping interest rates low," the IIF’s Brooks said via Twitter on Sunday. Closing up shopBut financial stability is only one of the necessary conditions for economic prosperity. But it’s in manufacturing, Russia’s traditional Achilles’ heel, that the impact is likely to be felt hardest. The direction of travel — back to Soviet-era level of competitiveness, stagnation and economic underperformance — seems clear.

Hollywood lost an iconic actor when Ray Liotta died on May 26 at age 67. Fans remember him fondly for his turn as Shoeless Joe Jackson in the 1989 film Field of Dreams. Kevin shared a clip of his character, Ray Kinsella, and Ray Liotta's Shoeless Joe Jackson. In the scene, Kevin pitches to Ray, and Ray hits the ball directly at him, taking him off his feet. While he leaves an incredible legacy, he’ll always be 'Shoeless Joe Jackson' in my heart.

War hacks: How outgunned Ukraine finds ways to counter RussiaEnlarge this image toggle caption Vadim Ghirda/AP Vadim Ghirda/APKYIV, Ukraine — There are two important things to know about military trenches. "Digging a hole is not fun," said Stefan Korshak, an American who knows the Ukrainian military well. Since then, Ukraine has had to figure out creative ways to defend itself and fight back, from low-tech to high-tech. In the air war, Russia has far more fighter jets, which are a generation more advanced than the aging, Soviet-era MiG planes the Ukrainians are flying. Russia was expected to destroy the Ukrainian air force within days.

Ian Benjamin Rogers, 46, of Napa, pleaded guilty to conspiring to destroy a building by fire or explosives, possessing an explosive device and possessing a machine gun under a plea agreement that could bring him seven to nine years in federal prison. The pair “hoped their attacks would prompt a movement,” prosecutors said when they announced the charges in July. Copeland, 38, previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy and destruction of records. In a different message he said that after Democratic President Joe Biden was inaugurated, “we go to war.”Their first planned target was the John L. Burton Democratic Headquarters in Sacramento, prosecutors said. He was taken into custody then on state charges after the FBI said he sent text messages that agents perceived as threats against the unoccupied Governor’s Mansion and social media companies Facebook and Twitter.

The commission also proposed restricting re-exports of Russian oil supplied by pipeline to other member states or third countries. Story continuesEU ambassadors are scheduled to meet on Sunday when they could discuss the revised package. Sanctions ImpactThe EU had previously proposed phasing out all Russian oil imports by early next year. The countries are heavily reliant on Russian oil, but they account for a relatively small portion of the EU’s overall imports from Moscow. However, the bulk of the pipeline deliveries are to Germany and Poland, which have signaled they will wean themselves off Russian supplies regardless of any EU action.

Real Madrid became European champion for a record-extending 14th time after beating Liverpool 1-0 in a Champions League final that started 37 minutes late because of disturbing crowd issues outside the Stade de France on Saturday. Brazil winger Vinícius Júnior applied a close-range finish in the 59th minute from Federico Valverde’s drive across the face of goal, securing a win that gave Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti a record fourth European Cup title. Madrid cemented its status as the king of European soccer, given the Spanish giant owns double the number of European Cups as the No. It was greeted by jeers inside the stadium, given those fans had already endured long queues. The scenes were reminiscent of the chaos outside Wembley Stadium before the European Championship final last year between England and Italy.

One of the best Star Wars games ever made is making its way to Switch. Alongside the news that Respawn Entertainment will release Star Wars Jedi: Survivor in 2023, Disney shared yesterday that Aspyr is porting 2004’s Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords to Nintendo’s handheld. Many Star Wars fans love Knights of the Old Republic II for its more complicated portrayal of the conflict between the Jedi and the Sith. And for the most part, they succeeded in that goal, making the PC version of The Sith Lords the definitive way to experience Knights of the Old Republic II. While we wait for more information on the Restored Content DLC, Aspyr said it would release KotOR II to Switch on June 8th.

Large corporations that initially sought to cash in on Juneteenth-themed items ahead of the new federal holiday on are now walking back their commercialization efforts after backlash on social media. "Juneteenth holiday marks a celebration of freedom and independence," the company said in a statement. "However, we received feedback that a few items caused concern for some of our customers and we sincerely apologize. On June 17, 2021, President Joe Biden signed a law that made Juneteenth a federal holiday. “Imagine how different the landscape would look if Juneteenth had been designated as a federal holiday after reparations had been paid,” he said.

Elon Musk has advice for Jeff Bezos. Musk and Bezos also seem concerned about growing homelessness in big cities like San Francisco and Seattle. And Musk seems to need this rivalry, a healthy rivalry in the conquest of space with Bezos in particular. Starlink is well ahead of Project Kuiper currently, with more than 2,400 satellites already in orbit. Last month, NASA picked six satellite companies -- including Musk's SpaceX and Project Kuiper --- to develop space communication services in Earth orbit.

Sysamone Phaphon, left, and Eunice Kim have spearheaded an effort to translate a pot primer into 11 Asian languages to help educate the community about cannabis. And not being shamed is a real big thing in the Asian community. Even something that feels as small as translating it into different languages is a huge step in destigmatizing it, because it makes it more accessible. I think it makes a big statement for the Asian community to see that it’s not just Sysamone and me who are Asian founders in the space. Kim: Community reception.

As baseball’s Memorial Day milepost nears, the Rockies are quickly sliding toward irrelevance, at least in the standings. * The Rockies are averaging 30,793 fans per game at Coors Field, which ranks 11th in the majors in attendance. This Rockies team lacks an identity. The low point in the Rockies’ attendance came in 2005 when they drew an average of 23,634 fans per game. Given what a glorious place Coors Field is on a summer night, I don’t think the Rockies will fall back to the ’05 level again.

A prevailing thought across sports is that a team takes on the personality of its coach.

“I feel completely normal,” deGrom said, adding later that he has felt that way for well over a month. The challenge deGrom and the Mets face now — and indefinitely — is how to get him back in the fashion that keeps him healthiest longest. “When you’re trying to decide whether to come back too early or not, you kind of look at the long term,” he said. The good news, according to deGrom, is that he is done with MRIs and other medical imaging, barring further issues. “So now it’s just making sure it handles the throwing and nothing pops up,” deGrom said.

PARIS — Real Madrid became European champion for a record-extending 14th time after beating Liverpool 1-0 in a Champions League final that started 37 minutes late because of disturbing crowd issues outside the Stade de France on Saturday. Madrid cemented its status as the king of European soccer, given the Spanish giant owns double the number of European Cups as the No. Officers with batons and riot shields ran from gate to gate to prevent pockets of fans forcing their way into the stadium without showing tickets. It was greeted by jeers inside the stadium, given those fans had already endured long queues.

WASHINGTON — Speakers at the National Rifle Association annual meeting assailed a Chicago gun ban that doesn’t exist, ignored security upgrades at the Texas school where children were slaughtered and roundly distorted national gun and crime statistics as they pushed back against any tightening of gun laws. If they worked, Chicago wouldn’t be the murder hellhole that it has been for far too long.”THE FACTS: Chicago hasn’t had a ban on handguns for over a decade. And in 2014, a federal judge overturned the city’s ban on gun shops. The percentage of U.S. households with at least one gun in the home hasn’t significantly changed over the past 50 years. Since the ban was lifted, the rifles — called “modern sporting rifles” by the industry — have surged in popularity.

NEW YORK — Airline travelers are not only facing sticker shock this Memorial Day weekend, the kickoff to the summer travel season. More than 1,400 flights were canceled as of 5;15 p.m EDT Saturday, according to flight tracking website FlightAware. Delta Air Lines suffered the most among U.S. airlines, with more than 240 flights, or 9% of its operations, eliminated on Saturday. Delta noted in an email to The Associated Press that Saturday’s cancellations were due to bad weather and “air traffic control actions,” noting it’s trying to cancel flights at least 24 hours in advance this Memorial Day weekend. However, airlines have thousands fewer employees than they did in 2019, and that has at times contributed to widespread flight cancellations.

East Boston (18-2) sent nine batters to the plate in a four-run second inning to blow open the game and capture the Boston City League title for the first time since 1991 in an 8-1 victory over New Mission. “When they got the early run on us, our attitudes were a little down and (Santiago) was a huge at bat. That’s why he was our MVP today,” said East Boston coach Jeff Arinella of Santiago, who was named Most Outstanding Player for the tournament. Santiago knocked in Mikey O’Neill (2-for-4, two runs) as Chris Frazier followed up with his own RBI single to center for the 6-1 Eastie lead after three complete. “It’s part of baseball, but if we get (Santiago) out, everything changes,” said New Mission coach Modesto Gomez.

That’s right, the Movement Electronic Music Festival is back. The music festival was silent for two years during the pandemic. “It’s my favorite musical event of the year.”The festival resonates deeply in Detroit, which is only fitting because the Motor City is the birthplace of techno music. “I have (in past years).”O’Brien said he comes downtown for work and fun and, every time he drove past Hart Plaza the past two years, he felt bad. He was missing the music festival the way a person feels about the passing of a close friend.

Langer and Weir, paired together on a glorious, sunny, low-wind afternoon, both shot 4-under 67 and were two shots back of leader Stephen Ames after 54 holes. He's already owns the record for most Champions Tour majors (11), and is second all-time in Champions Tour wins (43, to Hale Irwin's 45). He's the oldest Champions Tour winner (64, in February), and the oldest major winner (61). SENIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIP LEADERBOARDSo he knows as well as anybody the importance of the key save.

Steve ReedAssociated PressConcord, N.C. — Josh Berry outdueled teammate Justin Allgaier to give JR Motorsports its first win at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the Xfinity Series race on Saturday. JR Motorsports has won 63 Xfinity Series races and two Trucks races, but this was the first win at CMS. “I have been an employee at Junior Motorsports since 2010 and I’ve seen them struggle a lot at Charlotte,” Berry said.

The English team couldn’t find a way past Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who tipped Sadio Mane’s first-half shot onto the post and produced an even better save to turn away Mohamed Salah’s effort in the 81st. “I was going to win a Champions League no matter what.”Vinicius sank to his knees and covered his face at fulltime. Madrid underlined its status as the king of European soccer, given the Spanish giant owns double the number of European Cups as the No. Others barged their way past security and sprinted onto the concourse before getting wrestled to the ground. The scenes were reminiscent of the chaos outside Wembley Stadium before the European Championship final last year between England and Italy.

Facing Catholic Memorial last season amid a breakout year, St. John’s Prep’s Brian Manning, then a junior, saw one of his favorite plays developing right at the net. Take one look in the eyes of Manning during a game, and you’ll see a fire to dominate and win. Doctors have suggested he doesn’t play sports, but Manning – ambitious, not reckless – doesn’t shy away. After coming into his own his junior season, Manning has become a critical piece to a team that heads into the Div. “This season is better than I could’ve ever imagined it going,” Manning said.

Public beaches in the Boston Harbor region scored high overall in terms of water quality safety, according to the latest report card, but two continue to lag far behind. The latest Metropolitan Beaches Water Quality Report Card, released Saturday by Save the Harbor/Save the Bay shows two South Boston beaches have the safest water quality, followed by Nantasket Beach in Hull and another two beaches in Southie. Mancini also pointed to poor communication from the state Department of Public Health, in terms of alerting beachgoers to water quality risks last year. The annual report card ranks the safety of DCR-managed public beaches in Dorchester, East Boston, South Boston, Hull, Nahant, Lynn, Quincy, Revere and Winthrop. However, the report card showed the overall water quality rating was down 7% in 2021 — 86% to the previous year’s 93% score.

The solo shot was the decisive run as the Sox outlasted the Orioles, 5-3, in a back-and-forth game at Fenway Park. Nathan Eovaldi threw a complete game to preserve the bullpen in the first of two games between the Sox and O’s in a scheduled doubleheader. It was particularly needed for Dalbec given Cora has started to turn to Christian Arroyo over him for key pinch-hitting opportunities against lefties. But Eovaldi started getting some quick outs in the later innings. Eovaldi’s efforts preserved the ‘pen for the second game of the doubleheader.

The Texas Torts Claims Act grants permission to sue in certain limited circumstances, but according to legal experts interviewed, those wouldn’t apply in the Uvalde school shooting case. Police chief blamed for slow response during Robb Elementary school shooting to join Uvalde City CouncilThe police chief at the center of controversy, sparked by officers’ response to the Robb Elementary School massacre in Uvalde, Texas, is slated to be sworn onto the Uvalde City Council next week.

Four of the five safest beaches in the metropolitan region, in terms of water quality, are nestled near the Harbor in South Boston, according to a Beach Water Quality Report Card released on Saturday. Compiled by Save the Harbor/Save the Bay, the annual Metropolitan Beaches Water Quality Report Card grades the safety of public beaches in Dorchester, East Boston, South Boston, Hull, Lynn, Nahant, Quincy, Revere and Winthrop. Johnson, 31, said he does not visit Pleasure Bay much anymore, but went often when he was growing up on the South Shore. The organization said rainfall had a significant impact on the water quality of the region’s beaches in 2021, a year that saw much more rain than 2020. Despite the rain, Save the Harbor/Save the Bay said five beaches — Pleasure Bay and City Point in South Boston, Nantasket in Hull and Winthrop Beach — had perfect water quality scores last year, according to the report card.

José Rivera’s surreal romance “References to Salvador Dalí Make Me Hot” opens at the Vortex Theatre on Friday, June 3. It’s surrealism with a realism center.”As love, lust and longing collide, the play celebrates the confusion that grows out of trying to understand not only the one you love, but yourself as well. “I’ve been obsessed with José Rivera since I read his play ‘Marisol,’ ” Martinez said.

Deanna Dickinson McCall is a rancher and an award-winning writer of Western poetry and song. “The house sat in the bottom of a canyon and was very old,” McCall said of her first home. I loved the old nursery rhymes.”Evenings at the ranch house were spent on the front porch, or close to it. “My granddaddy would tell the old cowboy stories (on the porch), and he’d sing the old cowboy songs, playing the harmonica and the Jew’s harp and trading off with the hired hand. She said she started writing her own poetry about 1987 while she was living in Nevada, and she and her whole family were reciting traditional Western poetry at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko.

That’s the mood we’re all in and maybe Triangle of Sadness addresses that mood. Triangle of Sadness could well be speaking to the zeitgeist, but not as interestingly (or as originally) as it thinks.

Whatever my (infinitesimal) reservations about Close, I personally would have thought it far superior to the grandstanding showoff film-making of Triangle of Sadness.

Police inaction moves to center of Uvalde shooting probeThe actions of a school district police chief and other law enforcement officers are at the center of the investigation into this week’s shocking school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Authorities acknowledged Friday that children and teachers repeatedly begged 911 operators for help while the police chief told more than a dozen officers to wait in a hallway at Robb Elementary School. TIMELINE: Texas elementary school shooting, minute by minuteIn the hours and days since the fatal shooting of 19 children and their two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, authorities have given varying accounts of what happened and how they responded. But Russia’s recent progress in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region could embolden Putin to keep pursuing his military goals in the country. Now, Republicans are making similar points as the nation reels from the shooting that killed at least 19 children at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.

Since 1991, the Fairness Campaign has worked to get cities and counties around the commonwealth to pass anti -LGBTQ discrimination ordinances. The movement has picked up speed with time. In early 2020, Woodford County passed the first county-wide fairness ordinance in the state in 20 years. Today, 23 municipalities across the Blue Grass State have fairness ordinances in place.

There have been six trophies under the manager, including two massive ones – the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League the following season. Standing in the Real goal, Thibaut Courtois had a night when he made outstanding saves and also saw the defenders in front of him put their bodies on the lines, repeatedly thwarting Liverpool. Vinícius Júnior struck the decisive blow just before the hour and, no matter what Liverpool did thereafter, Courtois found a way to deny them. With this Real team the fear lies in what they might do, the moment that they could create. Casemiro fluffed a square pass with Vínicius and Benzema in front of goal and Courtois denied Salah twice more.

The teenager had used the social media app Yubo to threaten school shootings and rape, as well as to show off a rifle he had bought, CNN reported on Saturday.

Gareth Southgate says that Jack Grealish has learned to be a different kind of footballer in his title-winning season at Manchester City and that the changing of his role at club level makes him more suited to what he will be asked to do in an England shirt. Speaking extensively about the right-footed left winger who caught the country’s imagination at Euro 2020 last summer, Southgate joked that perceptions of the player summarised the volatility of the public mood. It’s a very different ask, more aligned at club [as opposed to] … what we’ve asked him to do. If you’d said to me ‘He’s not going to score 20 goals this year’; well, I wouldn’t have expected that. Southgate outlined his backing for Harry Maguire, the embattled Manchester United captain, whom he said was still in his first-choice centre-half pairing along with John Stones.

The Queen is to take a salute from the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the first time in her 70 years of Trooping the Colour, in a compromise that will allow her to fulfil her Jubilee duties in comfort. The working-from-home arrangement will allow Her Majesty to take her traditional part in the celebrations, without having to make the journey to Horse Guards Parade in person or sit on a dais for the long ceremony. The Prince of Wales, colonel of the Welsh Guards, will take the customary salute at Horse Guards Parade, joined by the Duke of Cambridge and the Princess Royal, colonel of the Blues and Royals, all on horseback on the parade ground. The Duke of Cambridge on Saturday carried out the Colonel’s Review of the final rehearsal of Trooping the Colour, in his role as royal colonel of the Irish Guards. Numerous "Plan B" scenarios for Trooping the Colour had already been proposed, including the Queen travelling by car instead of carriage to Horse Guards Parade, or another member of her family inspecting the troops on her behalf while she only appeared in public to wave.

The failure of union leaders to extend a planned rail strike to the country’s largest train franchise has prompted optimism within the Government that any action will be unable to cripple the network. The Telegraph understands that the low turnout in the Rail, Maritime and Transport union’s vote on strike action by Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) is being seen as evidence of a falling appetite for industrial action among rail staff. Separately, the turnout among South Western Railway workers was 64 per cent, compared to 77 per cent in a dispute over guards in 2017. “Staff on commuter networks are clearly smelling the coffee here. Writing in The Telegraph, he said: “These rail reforms would create a raft of big new politically-commissioned single-firm monopoly train services.

Pint glasses will be adorned with a Crown for the first time in nearly 20 years after Ministers axed EU rules banning the patriotic symbol. A Government source said last night that the legal requirement to use the CE mark led to the effective removal of the Crown symbol because the UK ‘could not have two competing indications of conformity’. Pint glasses were first marked with a Crown more than 300 years ago to reassure suspicious customers that they were not being cheated by unscrupulous landlords trying to serve drinks in undersized glasses. So let’s have Britannia and the Crown and the other symbols of our kingdom stamped all over the place. ‘Let’s make Britain again a flag-waving patriotic country and a tribute to Her Majesty’s dedicated service to our nation.

Amid the confusion, Madrid had experience on their side in the form of the most successful coach in the competition's history. Just a year ago, Ancelotti was on the other side of Merseyside at Everton, after his stock suffered from short spells at Bayern Munich and Napoli.

AFP was on the plane on Jan. 17, 2021, when Alexei Navalny returned to Russia despite the near certainty of imprisonment. Who is this seemingly fearless man, a social media star with a sardonic sense of humor? Friends, experts and his critics answer the question, with some pointing to a "nationalist," even "racist" past. But more than anything, Navalny has become a thorn in the side of a Russian elite whose alleged corruption he has worked to expose. With interviews of Nikolai Khorzov, AFP video journalist; Sergei Guriev, economics professor at Sciences Po university; Evgeny Feldman, photographer; Darya Navalnaya (Instagram archive); Maria Lipman, political analyst, George Washington University; Valery Fiodorov, director of the Russian polling institute VTsIOM; Pyotr Tolstoy, deputy speaker of the State Duma; Alexei Navalny (archives)

We retrace Alexei Navalny’s steps in Siberia during the last moments of his "previous" life, in the city of Tomsk where he was poisoned. A few hours later, he would feel what he described as "the kiss of death." I started to feel that I couldn’t breathe anymore," recounts Vladimir Kara-Murza, another opposition figure who was poisoned. Who poisoned Alexei Navalny? Agnes Callamard, the former UN rapporteur on the poisoning, has little doubt.

Alexei Navalny’s new home is around 100 kilometers from Moscow, at the end of a muddy path, on the outskirts of the small town of Pokrov. A year after his poisoning, the main opponent to Vladimir Putin lives in a high-security prison. His Anti-Corruption Foundation is banned. Many of his allies are in exile, independent media are closing down and a ‘climate of fear’ reigns among his supporters. Featuring interviews with Konstantin Kotov, former activist and prisoner of Penal Colony 2; Ivan Pavlov, lawyer for Navalny foundations; Yekaterina Schulmann, political scientist; Pyotr Tolstoy, deputy speaker of the State Duma; and Armen Aramyan, journalist at student paper Doxa in Moscow.

Could Navalny’s obsession weaken his big opponent, Vladimir Putin? According to the organization, this was at the president’s disposal. Then, tens of thousands of people hit the streets from Moscow to Yakutsk in Siberia with temperatures at -50C. People in more than 110 cities followed Alexei Navalny’s call to protest. With interviews with: Maria Lipman, political scientist; Clementine Fauconnier, professor and Russia specialist at the University of Upper Alsace; Pyotr Tolstoy, deputy speaker of the State Duma; Sergei Guriev, exiled economics professor at Sciences Po university; Vladimir Milov, former deputy energy minister, and Navalny ally in exile; Archives from protests; Alexei Navalny, on Putin’s Palace (YouTube); Vladimir Putin (archives)

We fly to Lithuania, which has become a refuge for Russian opposition figures in exile because of repression in their own country. From there, they try to convince Russians and the world to take action against President Vladimir Putin’s government. In Siberia, other Kremlin critics see themselves as in a form of internal exile. As European leaders struggle over how to deal with Russia, mixing sanctions with dialogue, we ask: What does the future hold for Russia, and for its opposition?

Imminent: ????????, ???????????, ??????????????, ?????????? ? ?.?. In the translation biz, when you must choose one meaning out of many, it’s called concretization. To be more specific about an impending disaster, spell it out in Russian with a phrase like ????????????? ????????? ????? (the imminent danger of war). Sometimes there is still hope it can be avoided: ??? ????????????? ?????????? ?????? ???? ????????????? (The impending disaster must be stopped from happening). ? ?????? ?????? ??????????? ??? ???? ?????????? ????????????? ???? (If the communists win the election, economic disaster is certain.)

Putin said: “????????, ?? ???????? — ?????, ??? ?????????.” ???? ?????????. One of the most famous is the aria in Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera “May Night” that begins ???, ??? ?????????! Now the full phrase ????????, ?? ???????? — ???, ??? ????????? is used to exhort children to do anything they don’t want to do. ????????, ?? ???????? ??? ??? ????????? (She puts it on and out you go. Here it is with the ????????????? ??????? (obscenities) replaced by asterisks: ????? ????? ? ????? / ? ??????????? ? *** / ????????, ?? ???????? / ???, ??? ?????????!

????: anteroom, covered entrywayJanuary is turning out to be Strange Russian Word Month. Today’s word is not as much fun as ??? (fig, sort of), but then almost no word is. The word is the verb ??????? (and its imperfective form ???????). I’m not entirely sold on this room-tent-shadow idea, but Vinogradov studied ancient texts to determine meaning so he found evidence of this. Finally, they describe a thought, idea, or inspiration occurring to someone, usually suddenly.

By that I mean: Oh, the convoluted, confused, sexually obsessed, bizarre word ???. This is useful when your significant other is in Day Four of Fixing the Washing Machine and you really, really, really want to call in someone with actual expertise: ??, ?? ?????????? ? ? ??? ? ???. And then there is ?? ???, which is a slightly nicer way of saying something that usually uses the Very Bad Word: ????? ?? ?? ???, ????! It can also mean something like “what the hell for”: ??? ?? ?? ??? ?? ????? (I need that like a hole in the head!) But because this word is so sneaky, note the difference between ?? ??? and ?? ????, which means ????? (what for): ? ?? ???? ? ?? ????????

Sri Lanka is nearly bankrupt, has defaulted on its foreign loans, and is battling acute shortages of goods like cooking gas, fuel and medicines. Despite US and Western sanctions, Sri Lanka is also trying to arrange crude, coal, diesel and gasoline/petroleum deliveries directly from Russia.

Tehran said Saturday that the crew of two Greek oil tankers seized by Iran in the Gulf a day earlier have not been detained, contradicting comments from Greece's Foreign Ministry. Athens also notified all Greek ships in the Gulf and called on Greek citizens to avoid traveling to Iran. Greek media said the Lana had only been stopped because the ship sought refuge in April from a powerful storm in a bay on the Greek island of Euboea. Authorities then found that the tanker was carrying Iranian oil and the US authorities demanded that it remain confiscated, Greek media said. In addition, Iran last year seized and held a South Korean-flagged tanker for months amid a dispute over billions of dollars of frozen assets Seoul holds.

AdvertisementThe ministry noted that the successful test fire was part of testing a new generation of weapons, state-run Russian news agency TASS reported.

It’s already difficult to get an abortion in Guam, a small, heavily Catholic island of about 170,000 people south of Japan. A recently leaked draft opinion indicated the Supreme Court could overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision and allow individual states to ban abortion. None have legal protections for abortion, and they could revive old abortion bans or enact new ones, the report said. Without Roe, Guam could revert to an abortion ban dating to 1990. Her organization, which opposes abortion, provides free pregnancy tests, prenatal and parenting classes and information on adoption and abortion.

The hope is that the Full Circle Expedition is just the start when it comes to giving Black and brown people a space to thrive and grow outdoors.

The other day, though, coincidentally while dealing with the nagging pain of a muscle knot, I realized that I didn't even know what muscle knots really were, or how they're formed. Wu says that these "micro-cramps theoretically cause an accumulation of 'waste' products that may cause pain." However, Wu also notes that a challenge in finding the underlying cause of muscle knots is because pain is of a multifactorial nature. The Mayo Clinic also notes physical therapy, stretching, and posture training as other common treatments. When my muscle knots act up, a heating pad and a gentle massage tend to lend some relief.

"The Mandalorian" and "Ahsoka" will definitely be delighting Star Wars fans soon. Favreau said of leading the new world of Star Wars television on Disney+, "To me it's been a dream come true." To Favreau, making Star Wars television, full of set pieces, creatures, and major cliffhangers, is exactly in the spirit of Lucas's vision. Then "Ahsoka" star Dawson made a surprise appearance straight from the set of the series, which is currently filming.

pic.twitter.com/YsVBI8qnOX — Ariana Garcia (@Ariana_noGrande) May 27, 2022Multiple elected officials pulled out of their planned appearances at the NRA convention last minute, following heavy criticism. Sen. John Cornyn and Rep. Dan Crenshaw — both Texas Republicans — also backed out of the NRA gathering citing scheduling conflicts. In 2020, a study in the Journal of Public Economics found that state-level responses following mass shootings heavily tilted toward loosening, not tightening, gun regulations. The overwhelming public support for better gun control laws shouldn’t come as a surprise after decades of repeated mass shootings in the US. As this interactive data map by Vox shows, as of July 2020, over 2,600 more mass shootings have happened in the decade since the Sandy Hook school shooting.

Research has suggested that lockdown drills are important tools, said Jaclyn Schildkraut, a professor of criminal justice at the State University of New York at Oswego, who studies school lockdown drills. The most recognized player in this space is Alice, the largest for-profit provider of active shooting training in the US. How lockdown drills can cause harmGiven the steady stream of anecdotal news stories about active shooter drills inspiring child fear and even employee injury lawsuits, advocates have urged more attention on whether lockdown drills provoke trauma or are even necessary. “We provide the first empirical evidence that school shooter drills — in their current, unregulated state — negatively impact the psychological well-being of entire school communities,” the authors wrote. In August 2020, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) announced its opposition to high-intensity active shooter drills, issuing recommendations including to eliminate deception in the exercises, and to incorporate student input in their design.

An alarm clock blares as they start their day with a battle of physical and mental wills. In May of 2020, my boyfriend kindly bought me a more straightforward solution: a normal alarm clock. I had already made two earnest attempts at — and spent some money on — trying to be an alarm clock person. For $17.59 I had a new, normal alarm clock radio. My alarm clock is rich: It is a locus of metaphor and dislocation and social history imbued with unique power.

There's a chance you might see a slight meteor shower known as the tau Herculids this long weekend. Will we be able to see tau Herculids meteor shower? The tau Herculids, a possible new meteor shower from May 30-31, has left some astronomers absolutely delighted at the possibility. But other scientists are a bit more reserved, thinking we might not see anything that lives up to a vivid, stunning, and sparkling meteor shower. In all likelihood, if the tau Herculids meteor shower does occur, it'll be faint.

How Ben Affleck Got Cast in Gone GirlI am obsessed with the reason director David Fincher cast Ben Affleck in 2014’s Gone Girl. With the Gillian Flynn novel of the same name turning 10 this month, I was brought back to Fincher’s glorious words. In 2014, Fincher told Playboy that he cast Affleck because of his smile. Fincher clocked Affleck’s standard celebrity smile as a “guy who smiles next to a poster of his missing wife” smile. Perhaps Affleck realized long ago that what we think of him is none of his business.

Thanks to HBO Max’s The Staircase — a dramatized adaptation of the award-winning docuseries of the same name — the Peterson family is once again at the front of the public’s mind.

Fourteen years after their divorce, Shanna Moakler is auctioning her engagement ring from ex-husband Travis Barker. “I think it is a beautiful piece and truly was my dream ring,” Moakler, who was married to the Blink-182 drummer from 2004 to 2008, explained to Us Weekly on May 27. After Kardashian and Barker began sharing several PDA photos on social media last April, Moakler seemingly shaded the couple. Last May, Moakler shared a video of her laser tattoo removal session to ditch the “Travis” ink on her wrist. She later noted that Barker had also just put a skull tattoo over their initials on his hand — while Kardashian “lovingly looked on.”Luckily, her ring shouldn’t be quite as painful to part with.

Associated PressCANNES, France — Ruben Östlund’s social satire “Triangle of Sadness” was awarded the Palme d’Or at the 75th Cannes Film Festival on Saturday, handing Östlund one of cinema’s most prestigious prizes for the second time. The social satire co-starring Woody Harrelson made one of the biggest splashes at this year’s festival. At its premiere last week, there were such waves of laughter and applause that Östlund compared it to a crowd at a soccer match. “I would like to thank my donkeys,” said Skolimowski, who used six donkeys while making the film.

Liberatore (1-0), the organization's minor league player of the year for last season, pitched around a couple of Gorman errors in five scoreless innings. Paul Goldschmidt had three hits, including a homer, and also drove in four runs while extending his hitting streak to 19 games. Gorman hit a two-run double and Goldschmidt singled him home as the Cardinals blew it open with three more in the fourth.

In the Western United States, wildfires are burning more frequently and more intensely and wildfire seasons are growing longer, narrowing the windows for performing prescribed burns. Lisa Dale, a lecturer at Columbia Climate School, said prescribed burns are the best tools available for reducing the long-term risk from wildfires. They clear away vegetation that would otherwise fuel an unwanted fire and recognize that forests depend on fire to be healthy. She said climate change has made it more difficult to use prescribed fires because fire seasons have increased to seven to eight months from around three months. The growing intensity of fires has also made it more difficult for fire managers to respond.

An estimated 50 million exams with contrast agents are performed each year in the United States, and as many as half the nation’s hospitals are affected by the shortage. Some are reserving much of their supply on hand for use in emergency rooms — where quick, accurate assessments are most dire.

PARIS — Madison Keys became the fifth American woman to reach the fourth round at Roland Garros this year by coming back to beat Elena Rybakina 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (3) on Saturday. This is the first year that the French Open is using third-set tiebreakers in women’s matches and fifth-set tiebreakers for men. The four Grand Slam tournaments all agreed this season to adopt a uniform system of first-to-10-points, win-by-two tiebreakers in deciding sets. The 22nd-seeded Keys was the runner-up at the 2017 U.S. Open and got to the semifinals at the French Open the following year.

Bold corporate claims of bringing back supersonic travel will run headlong into scientific challenges for years to come, they added. “These manufacturers are trying to reinvent supersonic aircraft,” said Dan Rutherford, director of the aviation program at the International Council on Clean Transportation. Over the past decade, numerous start-ups have cropped up promising a better, more cost-effective supersonic jet for commercial air travel. Mike Leskinen, president of United Airlines Ventures, said his company’s bet on supersonic travel will fill customer demand for high-speed business travel. But the supply of sustainable fuel is limited and the cost is high — two to five times costlier than fossil jet fuel.

Writer/director Ruben Ostlund, winner of the Palme d'Or for 'Triangle of Sadness,' poses for photographers during the photo call following the awards ceremony at the 75th international film festival, Cannes, southern France, Saturday, May 28, 2022. Swedish director Ruben Ostlund's class warfare comedy "Triangle of Sadness" won the Palme d'Or at the 75th Cannes Film Festival on Saturday, giving Ostlund one of cinema's most prestigious prizes for the second time.

Amtrak’s purchase of a building in Wilmington, Delaware for a massive $41 million was based on "significant yet faulty assumptions," according to the agency’s internal watchdog which criticized the purchase in a report. The Amtrak Office of Inspector General said that the purchase of the building for a Unified Operations Center (UOC) program in President Biden’s home state was "largely premised on two significant yet faulty assumptions." The second, linked assumption, was that the purchase would save money to the tune of $50 million. "Neither has materialized because the company did not effectively verify the feasibility of centralizing these personnel and functions including retrofitting the building to accommodate significant IT requirements before purchasing the building," the report said. It would also bring in IT personnel from Atlanta and Washington D.C., saving money on leased space.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet are seen on a giant screen broadcasting news footage of their virtual meeting at a shopping complex in Beijing, China May 25, 2022. Rights groups and Western countries worry that China will use her trip as an endorsement of its rights record. During the media briefing, Bachelet also described as "deeply worrying" the detention in Hong Kong of activists, lawyers and journalists.

While some Republicans who had been scheduled to speak at the NRA convention just days after the Robb Elementary School gun massacre did cancel their appearances, they did so with scheduling excuses or, in the case of Governor Abbott, with a recorded message on the event's jumbotron instead.May 28, 2022

But it involves the 2022 election for governor and Republicans, including some who have peddled Trump’s lies about the 2020 election. Securing that many valid signatures in a state of over 8 million registered voters shouldn’t be that hard. Still, in most cases, valid petitions are submitted. The Michigan Bureau of Elections is not alleging that the candidates knew their petitions contained fraudulent signatures. Say what you will about Trump — and believe me, I have — but he was right to be on the lookout for election fraud in Michigan.

Jacobs made the remarks — a contradiction to the Republican party's staunch stance on gun laws — during a news conference on Friday. “If an assault weapons ban bill came to the floor that would ban something like an AR-15, I would vote for it,” he said, according to The Buffalo News. I think it’s perfectly reasonable that the age limit at least for these highly lethal, high-capacity semi automatic weapons should be 21," he said. The congressman reiterated his sentiments in an interview with The Buffalo News. Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday attended the funeral of Ruth Whitfield, who was killed in the Buffalo shooting, saying "enough is enough."

The Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, TX has aggravated old wounds for many people who’ve lost family members to gun violence. After her son was killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting, Nicole Hockley dedicated her life to pushing for gun safety reforms. Hockley founded Sandy Hook Promise, an organization aimed at providing gun control education. Now, with the number of mass shootings mounting, Hockley wants people to “vote your conscience” and remove apathetic politicians from office. That is the right that we all have as citizens, and we need to take that right seriously.” May 28, 2022

Swedish filmmaker Ruben Östlund's "Triangle of Sadness," a class satire set aboard a luxury cruise, won the top prize at the 75th Cannes Film Festival on Saturday, marking the second time the director has nabbed the Palme d'Or. Östlund previously earned the Palme d'Or in 2017 for "The Square," a dark comedy that skewered the European art world. "Triangle of Sadness" stars Harris Dickinson ("The King's Man"), Charlbi Dean (The CW's "Black Lightning") and Oscar-nominated Hollywood veteran Woody Harrelson. "I'd like to thank all those who appreciate Korean cinema," said Song, who led the cast of Bong Joon-Ho's "Parasite," the Palme d'Or winner at Cannes three years ago. The winners at this year's festival were chosen by a nine-member jury headed by French actor Vincent Lindon, who appeared in last year's Palme d'Or winner "Titane."

OUAGADOUGOU, May 28 (Reuters) - The dead bodies of two more missing miners have been found at a zinc mine owned by Trevali Mining Corp in Burkina Faso that flooded last month, the government said on Saturday. The bodies of four of the eight missing miners were found earlier this week. Hopes of finding survivors vanished last week when rescue workers found the mine's rescue chamber empty. The government said in a statement that search operations were continuing for the remaining two missing miners. The Perkoa mine abruptly submerged on April 16 after torrential rain fell unexpectedly during Burkina Faso's dry season.

"The coastal defence of our country will not only be strengthened by Harpoon missiles – they will be used by trained Ukrainian teams," Reznikov wrote on his Facebook page. He said Harpoon shore-to-ship missiles would be operated alongside Ukrainian Neptune missiles in the defence of the country's coast including the southern port of Odesa. Last month the Moskva, the flagship of Russia's Black Sea fleet, sank after what Ukraine says was an anti-ship missile attack. After launching its invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, Russia imposed a naval blockade of Ukrainian ports, hampering vital grain exports. It has also used its Black Sea fleet to launch missile attacks against Ukraine.

The glider was fitted with special sensors to study ocean acidification. Instead, everyone aboard the Nanuq, a University of Alaska Fairbanks research vessel, was looking where a 5-foot (1.52-meter) long, bright pink underwater sea glider surfaced. The research could be a major step forward in ocean greenhouse gas monitoring, because until now, measuring CO2 concentrations — a quantifier of ocean acidification — was mostly done from ships, buoys and moorings tethered to the ocean floor. The enormous amount of data collected is being used to study ocean acidification that can harm and kill certain marine life. ADVERTISEMENTResearchers in Canada had previously attached a smaller, prototype CO2 sensor to an underwater drone in the Labrador Sea but found it did not yet meet the targets for ocean acidification observations.

On Thursday, Valve began rolling out SteamOS 3.2 for Steam Deck, addressing one of the more prominent issues people have had with the handheld since its release. According to the company, the update introduces an “all-new OS-controlled fan curve” Valve claims allows Steam Deck’s internal fan to quickly and smartly respond to heat. Excessive fan noise is something many reviewers, including Engadget’s Jessica Conditt, mentioned in their Steam Deck reviews . In fact, when iFixit began selling replacement parts for the handheld early last week, it quickly sold out of Huaying fan units. Valve sourced fans for Steam Deck from two companies, with the ones from Huaying producing less noise, according to some owners .

ZeroAvia has raised $115 million from United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, British Airways and Amazon on a promise to fly a zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell regional passenger plane as soon as next year. Now the startup has set itself a slightly less high-flying goal: building a hybrid aircraft. ZeroAvia previously said it would power the Dorniers using a newly developed 600kW hydrogen fuel cell. The most advanced hydrogen fuel cell aircraft to date is likely the H2Fly. The company’s ultimate aim is to build a fuel cell capable of generating between 2,000 and 5,000kW (2 to 5MW).

The woman in Grozny said that dire economic conditions in Chechnya were pushing men into volunteering to fight in Ukraine. Putin is popular in Chechnya because he bankrolled the reconstruction of the region after declaring victory in the second Chechen war of 1999 to 2000. Most of these young Chechen men have fled to central Russia or Turkey, which has a large Chechen diaspora. But the state propaganda machine is still strong in Chechnya and support for the war is not difficult to find. Akmet, 52, said that war was justified to defend Russia against Nazis in Ukraine, a key reason that Putin has given for the invasion.

Since the start of the war, she said, she has raised more than $60,000 to buy food, clothes and equipment for Russian soldiers serving in Ukraine. “We also want to offer our support, to say, ‘Guys, we’re with you.’”Across Russia, grassroots movements, led in large part by women, have sprung up to crowdsource aid for Russian soldiers. Most of the groups collecting donations for Russian soldiers appear to be operating independently of the Russian government. Still, the notion that Russian soldiers in Ukraine are underequipped is increasingly seeping into Russian public discourse — among opponents and supporters of the war.

The Forest Service says it was responsible for both the blazes that merged late last month and created the largest fire in New Mexico history. The Calf Canyon Fire then merged with the Hermits Peak Fire, which was also started by an escaped federal prescribed burn, to cause New Mexico’s biggest-ever fire. “The pain and suffering of New Mexicans caused by the actions of the U.S. Forest Service – an agency that is intended to be a steward of our lands – is unfathomable,” New Mexico Gov. The Forest Service said last week it would pause prescribed burns on National Forest System land for 90 days to reevaluate its policies. “The Santa Fe National Forest is 100 percent focused on suppressing these fires with the support of the Type 1 incident management teams who are fully prepared to manage complex, all-risk situations,” Santa Fe National Forest Supervisor Debbie Cress said in a Friday statement.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz was reprimanded by a restaurant attendee Friday night after he spoke at the National Rifle Association’s annual convention in Houston, roughly a four-hour drive from where a mass shooter killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde three days earlier. “Why did you come here, to the convention, to take blood money? That’s on your head.”The senator stood silently, smiled and waved as guards pushed away the enraged, emotional critic. During his lengthy speech at the convention, Cruz also blamed the murders on everything other than the ease of getting guns as the root cause for the country’s disproportionately high rate of massacres. “Ted Cruz is just a slave to the gun lobby.

Baby boomers and millennials are part of a "triple threat" driving up prices in the housing market, according to the founder and executive of America’s largest owner of single-family homes. "There’s a huge amount of inventory stuck in baby boomers," Pretium CEO Don Mullen told FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo on "Mornings with Maria" Wednesday. Mullen noted that he founded Pretium in 2012 when expectations were that millennials, as they aged, would want to form households in a "classic," single-family home. He believes that the only solution to bringing down soaring housing costs is to lower the number of buyers. "The only answer in the near term to increased housing prices is a reduction in the people trying to buy," he said.

Airline travelers are not only facing sticker shock this Memorial Day weekend, the kickoff to the summer travel season. More than 1,200 flights were canceled as of 2 p.m EDT Saturday, according to flight tracking website FlightAware. Delta Air Lines suffered the most among U.S. airlines, with more than 240 flights, or 9% of its operations, eliminated on Saturday. Delta noted in an email to The Associated Press that Saturday’s cancellations were due to bad weather and “air traffic control actions,” noting it's trying to cancel flights at least 24 hours in advance this Memorial Day weekend. However, airlines have thousands fewer employees than they did in 2019, and that has at times contributed to widespread flight cancellations.

The Rangers certainly still had Cup aspirations entering Saturday night’s Game 6 of their second-round series with the Hurricanes at Madison Square Garden. Sign up for our daily sports newsletter Get stories, photos and videos about your favorite New York teams in your inbox every morning. But since the NHL doubled to 12 teams in 1967-68, the Rangers have won just one Cup, in 1994, with additional trips to the Cup Final in 1972, 1979 and 2014. (Perhaps the Maple Leafs, without a Cup since 1967 or even a Cup Final appearance in that span, could argue.) Vigneault replaced the hard-driving Tortorella and led the Rangers to the 2014 Cup Final against the Kings, who won in five games.

MASON – While it rained most of the week, requiring Friday's early-round matches to be moved indoors, Greater Cincinnati tennis players broke the Ohio High School Athletic Association state tennis tournament title drought Saturday. Miller, the district champ, had lost to Gahanna's Carpico 6-3, 6-3 and Choo fell to Mason's Gogineni 6-1, 6-0 in the morning.

The B’s announced Friday evening that star left wing Brad Marchand underwent arthroscopic hip surgery and labral repairs on both hips. The news was not entirely unexpected, as Sweeney had said in his end-of-season press conference that a hip procedure was a possibility for Marchand. He led the Bruins in scoring in both the regular season and in their seven-game first-round series against the Carolina Hurricanes. In the playoffs, Marchand again picked up the pace, leading the Bruins in scoring with four goals and seven assists in the seven games against the Hurricanes. If Bergeron does not return and Marchand misses the first two months of the season, just making the playoffs could be a challenge for the Bruins.

Overripe star fruits and guavas stuck to the soles of my boots in a sweet, fermenting mess as I strolled out of the sleepy town of Peabiru. The Caminho de Peabiru was a spiritual path for native Guarani people in search of a mythological paradise. It also became a route to riches for European invaders looking to access the interior of the continent. However, most of the original paths have disappeared, consumed by nature or transformed over the centuries into highways. While it connected to the highly engineered and widely visited Incan and Pre-Incan road network across the Andes, the Caminho de Peabiru itself has few visible remains.

A remarkable 86 per cent of the public are satisfied with the Queen, while her heir, Prince Charles, now enjoys the approval of almost two-thirds of Britons. A poll by Ipsos shows the Monarch remains the most popular member of the Royal Family, with satisfaction ratings higher than for her Golden Jubilee (82 per cent) and, despite recent controversies that have dogged the Windsors, not far below her score for the Diamond Jubilee (90 per cent). More than half of respondents said the characteristic they most admired in the Queen was that she was ‘traditional’. While their recent tour of the Caribbean was dogged with claims of ‘tone-deaf colonialism’, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are the next most popular royals – with Kate beating William to second. They represent the favourite member of the family for just 11 per cent and 6 per cent of the British public respectively.

Her maturity at that age impressed Winston Churchill, who met her at Balmoral in September 1928. Like the Duchess of Cambridge, who takes portraits of her children to mark their birthdays, rather than using official photographers, the future King was able to capture his children at their most relaxed and happy. The images of Elizabeth as a young girl were given to Beryl Poignand, former governess and lifelong friend of Albert's wife, the Duchess of York – known to later generations as the Queen Mother. Miss Poignand was also trusted to write the book The Story of Princess Elizabeth, under the pseudonym Anne Ring. It was published in 1930 when the future Queen was four.

In a show of the resilience that has marked her record-breaking reign, the Queen has vowed to make two appearances on the Buckingham Palace balcony on Thursday, the first day of her Jubilee celebrations. A Royal source said: ‘The Queen is determined to take part in the Jubilee celebrations. The Queen will later return to the balcony with more family members joining her to watch the RAF flypast at the close of the parade.

London (AFP) – New Zealand captain Kane Williamson was out for a duck on Saturday in what will be his only innings of the tour before next week's first Test against England at Lord's. He lasted just nine balls on Saturday before edging to slip off Jamie Porter, with the seamer taking a quintet of top-order wickets on his Essex home ground.

Boris Johnson will reportedly announce the return of imperial measurements to mark the Queen’s platinum jubilee, in an apparent attempt to garner support among Brexiter voters in battleground seats that the Conservatives are in danger of losing. Britain currently uses a mix of imperial and metric measurements, with speed limits in miles per hour and milk and beer bought in pints. During the 2019 general election campaign, Johnson pledged that he would bring back imperial units in shops. He claimed that measuring in pounds and ounces was an “ancient liberty” as he heralded a “new era of generosity and tolerance” towards traditional measurements. Only three other countries, the US, Myanmar and Liberia, use the imperial system on a daily basis.

Up to 99,000 hectares of land in England, from city fringes to wetlands, will be focused on supporting wildlife in five major “nature recovery” projects, the government has said. It is hoped the nature recovery schemes, which include existing nature reserves and the wider landscape, will extend across 99,200 hectares of land (245,000 acres) in total over time – equivalent in size to all 219 current national nature reserves. Work in the projects will range from converting farmland into chalk grassland to restoring “dewponds” and managing wetlands and other land sustainably. Wye Valley, Peak DistrictThe project covers 10,000 hectares, including nearly 1,400 hectares of existing protected areas and priority habitat. Baseline surveys will assess habitats and opportunities for private investment in boosting nature under rules which require developers to deliver “net gains” for biodiversity as part of their schemes, while nature recovery packs for 500 residents will help them connect with nature.

It applies quite apparently to the majority of Americans who, for years, have shown they want more checks and balances about gun control. The rest of the world is looking at us, feeling sorry for us, because we are unable to face ourselves." This leads people to very different conclusions about solutions to gun violence. Despite disagreeing with their stance, there's an absence of Republican voters willing to abandon candidates over their failure to vote for gun control measures. "That requires demonstrations of actions that work, that show that people who believe in more gun control can become agenetic and overcome these barriers," he said.

The Department of the Navy this week released its strategy for how it will deal with climate change and proceed toward the government’s goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. “Climate change is one of the most destabilizing forces of our time, exacerbating other national security concerns and posing serious readiness challenges,” Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said in the introduction to the 32-page report. “Our naval and amphibious forces are in the crosshairs of the climate crisis and this strategy provides the framework to empower us to meaningfully reduce the threat of climate change.”Setting the department on a course to combat climate change is a main priority of Del Toro’s tenure. While the iconic Parris Island and mid-Atlantic naval bases are threatened by climate change, Pentagon officials have also warned of a warming planet’s effect on the military’s Arctic and subarctic bases.

The company is also working on an experimental electrode cap that helps with deep sleep. After sensing light sleep for a few minutes, it pulses electric current through the scalp and skull, nudging the brain into that nirvana known as deep sleep. By stretching the length of deep sleep, Tucker’s device aims to boost that overnight wash cycle. EEG tests show that as people age, they spend less time in deep sleep and more in lighter sleep. These artificial impulses mimic the ones produced in the head during deep sleep, and the brain follows their lead and also begins producing these slower brain waves, plunging itself into the deepest realms of sleep.

The NRA says it has undergone a "course correction" by reinforcing oversight, promoting whistleblowers, and having LaPierre reimburse the group for spending on personal items. In a show of hands, nearly everyone in the room supported LaPierre. "In the last few years, you (LaPierre) have brought down questioning and shame down on the NRA," said Robert Bryan of Arkansas.

“It provides an opportunity for me to better understand the situation in China, but also for the authorities in China to better understand our concerns and to potentially rethink policies that we believe may impact negatively on human rights,” she said in a video news conference before leaving the country. Bachelet’s measured words, while expected, did not satisfy activists and likely will not sit well with governments such as the United States, which have been critical of her decision to visit Xinjiang. China’s ruling Communist Party, which has vehemently denied all reports of human rights violations and genocide in Xinjiang, showed no sign of being open to change in a government statement on the trip. The statement, attributed to Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu, accused some Western countries and anti-China elements of fabricating sensational lies about Xinjiang under the guise of human rights. “It is critical that counterterrorism responses do not result in human rights violations,” she said.

(Bloomberg) -- The stock market has staged a ferocious rebound in the past week after almost falling into a bear market. A: I don’t think we found a bottom yet. That being said, it has held -- I just don’t think we’re done yet. Yeah, cash balances have definitely increased and yes, we’ve seen some equity selling, but not a well and true panic.

The Twins are dodging first strikesHere’s the trick, in its glossiest, most Powerpoint-ready form: Take a ball to start your at-bats. Pitchers are getting a first-pitch strike against the 2022 Twins lineup 56.1% of the time, which counts as a big win when the league average has hovered around 60% for the past decade. So far, the 2022 Twins are getting to more of those advantageous 1-0 counts than anyone in the past decade. (Photo by Reed Hoffmann/Getty Images)How Twins turned pitchers against themselvesLike a lot of great tricks, this one is powered by misdirection. Being ahead in the count provides the flexibility to do that, and the 2022 Twins spend more time ahead in the count more than any other team.

I took early retirement, with the penalty, because I needed income. Everybody needs to know there’s no such thing as a safe amount of money set aside for retirement. Wanting to retire early isn’t inherently wrong — so many people wish to do it, especially after decades of working. And as you have experienced — and considerately reminding others — major unexpected emergencies can absolutely derail any sort of financial security. More than half of the retirees in the survey said they could not afford more than $25,000 for an unexpected emergency without jeopardizing their retirement security.

Ramzan Kadyrov said in a video: 'Ukraine is a done deal. What I’m interested in is Poland'Ramzan Kadyrov, leader of Russia’s Chechnya, has threatened to attack Poland unless it agrees to withdraw its support of Ukraine. What I’m interested in is Poland,” said Mr Kadyrov in a video message on his social media on Wednesday night. Poland has been in the crosshairs of Russian propaganda for its highly vocal support of Ukraine. Polish authorities expressed regret over the attack, but Russian officials said a simple apology was not enough.

Use of Pfizer's Paxlovid, authorized to treat newly infected, at-risk people in order to prevent severe illness, has soared as infections have risen. Biden administration officials have pushed for wide use of Paxlovid, which the government purchased and provides free. He said he is still recommending Paxlovid for people who have significant health conditions or are over age 75. "We have not seen any resistance emerge to date in patients treated with Paxlovid," a spokesperson said. The CDC also said it is unclear whether cases of rebound symptoms have anything to do with Paxlovid, or are simply part of the natural trajectory of COVID-19.

In cases of broken heart syndrome, the heart's main pumping chamber temporarily enlarges and pumps poorly, according to the American Heart Association. The study, published in October 2021 in the Journal of the American Heart Association, found an increase in rates of broken heart syndrome from 2006 to 2017. Cheng's ongoing research suggests broken heart syndrome, stress-related heart disease and traditional heart attacks have continued to rise during the pandemic. Respiratory problems brought on by a COVID-19 infection could likely increase cases of broken heart syndrome, too, Wittstein said. If a person survives the onset of broken heart syndrome, they can often recover within days or weeks, the AHA says.

Ukrainska Pravda – Saturday, 28 May 2022, 16:31Russian journalists report that, according to their sources, the Kremlin initially approved of the conduct of the Kadyrovites [units subordinate to Ramzan Kadyrov, Head of the Chechen Republic in the Russian Federation] in Ukraine. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin is now frustrated by their involvement in the setbacks on the battlefield. Putin’s discontent is further fuelled by representatives of the Russian army and the leadership of the Russian secret services. The Russian military is frustrated by the fact that Kadyrov’s troops, despite not having excelled in battle, are spreading a media image of themselves as more skillful and courageous than the rest of the Russian army. Details: The authors of the Get Kit report also consulted independent investigative journalists with sources among the Chechen authorities.

LONDON — Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, a staunch ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, threatened to attack Poland over its support for Ukraine. “The issue of Ukraine is closed,” said Kadyrov, via a translation from a BBC reporter. “This equipment saves the national sovereignty of Ukraine, Poland and Europe.”In the last three months, Poland has supplied the Ukrainian army with antitank missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles and antiaircraft missiles. Michael Weiss, an expert on Russia, previously told Yahoo News that Kadyrov might have been involved in human rights abuses. (Chingis Kondarov/Reuters)More recently, a number of human rights organizations have alleged that Chechnya had been kidnapping citizens and forcing them to fight as “volunteers” in the invasion.

Not even a mass shooting, Methvin and others said, is going to change that overnight. There are ways gun laws should be tightened, he added — though nobody should be coming to take away responsible gun owners’ firearms. At a vigil the night after the shooting, guns went entirely unmentioned. He said he was troubled to see President Biden and Texas Democrats blame the mass shooting on gun laws. He doesn’t hunt much anymore, preferring now to photograph “all of God’s creatures” that inhabit this patch of Texas instead.

Beyond Meat taps Kim Kardashian as its "chief taste consultant"Competition in the plant-based sector has exploded over the past several years — from lab-grown meat to fungi-based products. In fact, U.S. plant-based food sales grew two times as fast as animal-based food sales in 2020, totaling $7 billion, according to the latest Good Food Institute industry report. Within that category, plant-based meat crossed the billion-dollar mark, expanding by 45% in dollar sales from 2019.

(Massimo Berruti/The New York Times)VATICAN CITY — David Kertzer put down his cappuccino, put on his backpack and went digging for more Vatican secrets. It documents the private decision-making that led Pope Pius XII to stay essentially silent about Hitler’s genocide and argues that the pontiff’s impact on the war is underestimated — and not in a good way. “They didn’t want to offend the pope,” Kertzer said. He emerged from the archives to publish “The Pope Against the Jews,” about the church’s role in the rise of modern antisemitism. He had just discovered that even during the German occupation of Rome, Pius XII was still primarily focused on the dangers of Communism.

Inning after inning, Nathan Eovaldi took the mound. The Boston Red Sox right-hander has shown the ability for extended outings this season, reaching 101 pitches on three occasions. Eovaldi ran into the occasional hiccup against the Orioles, a rocky start and a blast over the Green Monster. But Eovaldi escaped through a popup and double play — one of the 14 groundouts Eovaldi forced compared with just one flyout. Still, the damage against Lyles could’ve been more severe, particularly when the Red Sox hit three doubles against Lyles in the second.

She said she’s pleased the center’s board named Baker as senior director, which essentially is the same function as executive director.

Miller said evidence suggests the woman's husband was responsible for the deaths. “It’s tragic by all accounts.”The person who alerted authorities was outside the home when deputies arrived and was not shot, he said. “There’s no better place I’d rather raise my kids at.”The shootings have taken an emotional toll, he said.

Industry insiders say the move away from daily cleaning, which gained traction during the pandemic, is driven by customer preferences. Unionized hotel workers are trying get the message out that turning down daily room cleaning is hurting housekeepers and threatening jobs. Even though hotels in New Jersey are required by law to offer daily cleaning, some guests still turn it down. "You've got a lot of first- and second-generation immigrant folks that are kind of left high and dry by these non-daily room cleaning requirements." Washington, D.C.'s city council in April passed emergency legislation requiring hotels in the district to service rooms daily unless guests opt-out.

One should only own a gun if they’re qualified and schooled.”Voight’s stance marks a striking divergence from the GOP platform’s typical stance on gun control. The incident is the second-deadliest shooting at an elementary, middle or high school in U.S. history, only behind the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012. And God will call on Jesus to pray for these families.”Currently, Uvalde marks the 27th school shooting with injuries or deaths this year, according to EducationWeek.

Ruben Östlund’s social satire Triangle of Sadness has won the Palme d’Or at the 75th Cannes film festival, handing the Swedish director one of cinema’s most prestigious prizes for the second time. Earlier, the Korean star Song Kang-ho won best actor for his performance in Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda’s film Broker, about a Korean family seeking a home for an abandoned baby. “I’d like to thank all those who appreciate Korean cinema,” said Song, who also starred in Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite, which won the Palme d’Or award in Cannes three years ago. Swedish-Egyptian film-maker Tarik Saleh took best screenplay at Cannes for Boy From Heaven, a thriller set in Cairo’s Al-Azhar Mosque. The Palme d’Or, one of film’s most prestigious awards, is famously impossible to handicap – though bookies still try their best.

Kamala Harris called for a ban on assault weapons in the US and the passage of much-delayed gun control legislation after speaking on Saturday at a funeral for the oldest victim of the Buffalo mass shooting earlier this month. After giving remarks at the service for Ruth Whitfield, the oldest person killed during the grocery store shooting two weeks ago, Harris called upon lawmakers to pass an assault weapons ban, while speaking with reporters. “We are not sitting around, waiting to figure out what the solution looks like,” said Harris. It includes – let’s have an assault weapons ban.”“An assault weapon is a weapon of war,” Harris added, “with no place in a civil society.”Harris also called for universal background checks on gun purchases, which is a law long blocked by Republicans in the US Senate. Citing the over 200 mass shootings that have already taken place this year, Harris urged legislators to take action.

“Then in the Senates of your sinking state / Show me the man whose counsels may have weight.”Ever heard of Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay? Last year, tackled by the Greek prime minister, he claimed that the marbles’ fate was entirely the decision of the British Museum’s trustees. The 1963 British Museum Act, forbidding most de-accessioning, turns responsibility back on the government. In 2014, lending one of the Parthenon marbles to Russia (an act deplored in Greece as a “provocation”), Neil MacGregor called it a “marble ambassador of a European ideal”. Visiting hours at the British Museum were, courtesy of Osborne, reduced.

In late December and early January, dozens were killed and tens of thousands displaced when rains hammered Bahia state, also located in north-eastern Brazil. Many of the deaths on Friday and Saturday occurred in Pernambuco state capital Recife. As in many urban areas in Brazil, many of Recife’s neighbourhoods have been built in locations vulnerable to land and mudslides. His main opponent in the October presidential election, leftist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, lamented the flooding on Twitter. “My solidarity to the families in the Recife metropolitan area who are suffering from the strong rains,” he wrote.

Clare Balding, the television presenter, is to be made a CBE as part of the Queen's Birthday Honours list, The Telegraph understands. The broadcaster, 51, will be given the honour following almost three decades working in radio and television. Nine years ago, when Balding was made an OBE by the Princess Royal at Windsor Castle, she spoke of her extreme nervousness during the encounter. "I talked absolute gibberish, absolute gibberish - I was just hopeless," she said. "Mucked my curtsey up, nearly fell over as I turned and walked away, messed up properly, but luckily not too many people had seen that."

Full list: All the winners from the 75th Cannes Film Festival in one place. Ruben Östlund won his second Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, for “Triangle of Sadness,” a satire of influencer culture and beauty’s ability to open doors that inspired uproarious laughter — and disgust. And “The Worst Ones” and “Joyland” were the big winners in the Un Certain Regard competition. Several past Palme d’Or recipients are competing, with some filmmakers even being two-time winners seeking a third trophy. But anything can happen on the final Saturday of Cannes, and since there can only be one Palme d’Or winner, it’s safe to expect the unexpected.

A diminutive female figure enters the brightly lit courtyard, tugging a blue Disney-themed dress below her knees and swatting away the mosquitos. With a sigh, she expresses her disappointment that it is a journalist who has entered the makeshift brothel and not a client.

Oxford and Cambridge should not discriminate against private school students, the higher education minister has warned. Michelle Donelan said the Government “strongly believes” that all places should be awarded on merit and pointed out that many pupils who are educated at independent schools are there on scholarships. One Oxford admissions tutor said that if it is “neck and neck” between two students then the “default would be to opt for the state school” especially if the university was “falling short” of its targets. In August 2021 the school said that 55 of its pupils met their offer grades and accepted places at either Oxford or Cambridge, while students from Eton College received a total of 48 offers. Earlier this month Prof Stephen Toope, the outgoing vice-chancellor of Cambridge University, said private schools must accept that they would get fewer students into Oxbridge.

A third of shoots could be cancelled this year, as a shortage of birds threatens to cut off a “major lifeline” for rural communities. About 30 to 40 per cent of shoots are expected to be cancelled completely. It is warned that the cancellations will have a “catastrophic” impact on shoots, as well as pubs, hotels and country sport shops. Shooting is estimated to bring £2.5 billion to the rural economy and support tens of thousands of jobs. “We will definitely have a shooting season,” he told The Telegraph.

Universities across Britain are pledging to “decolonise” their curricula in defiance of ministers as they compete for awards from a scheme accused of causing “the most egregious wokery” on campuses. The pledges appear at odds with warnings by ministers over the issue. Michelle Donelan, the universities minister, has likened the so-called decolonisation of reading lists, syllabi and exams to the Soviet Union “censoring history”. “I want universities to focus on delivering high-quality, face-to-face teaching, not wasting taxpayers and students’ money on divisive initiatives such as trigger warnings, cancelling historical figures or erasing our history and heritage. At worst, so-called ‘decolonisation’ is a dangerous initiative that undermines scholarship, divides our society and undermines the global standing of our university system.”

When Marina Ovsyannikova burst onto the set of a flagship news show with a daring anti-war message two months ago, she didn’t realise that it would make her the most hated woman in Russia. Yet, the mother-of-two and veteran state television producer stands by her stunt and actively encourages other Russians to follow suit. She feels that the enormous publicity she garnered may actually be saving her from jail. “The more outspoken you are about your civil stance, the more scared the authorities are going to be, and they will have no idea what to do with you,” Ukrainian-born Ms Ovsyannikova told The Telegraph. They’re now doing their best, so that people forget about me or make up conspiracy theories so that others start to question my genuine civic protest.”

Republican Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona accused his fellow GOP lawmaker Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming of trying to 'destroy' the GOP and Congress itself in a conversation with DailyMail.com ahead of his speech at Donald Trump's rally in Casper, Wyoming. 'Liz Cheney is the worst candidate for Wyoming,' Biggs said. She was removed from her leadership role heading the House GOP Conference last year over her criticism of Trump and cooperation with Democrats' January 6 investigation. During that time he, like Rep. Liz Cheney, held the House GOP Conference Chair position. The WPAi/Club for Growth PAC survey shows that 56 percent of Republican Wyoming primary voters would support Hageman if the election were held today.

This article will not address expats’ tax obligations to Mexico specifically but rather the tax obligations of United States citizens to their home country. taxes are based on citizenship; you have the privilege of reporting and paying on worldwide income,” Lindstrom says. But for those who might think, “I already pay taxes to Mexico; I shouldn’t have to pay taxes to the U.S. as well,” be aware: although you may already pay taxes in Mexico, there is no guarantee that you won’t also owe taxes to the United States government. Keep in mind, however, that this amount is for federal income taxes and excludes you from being able to take certain other credits. If it’s a rental property, however, then you may indeed need to pay taxes on the income generated by it, and if you sell it, then you would also likely pay taxes on the profit.

Fusako Shigenobu, the 76-year-old female founder of the once-feared Japanese Red Army, walked free from prison Saturday after completing a 20-year sentence for a 1974 embassy siege. Shigenobu maintained her innocence over the siege, in which three Red Army militants stormed into the French embassy, taking the ambassador and 10 other staff hostage for 100 hours. France ended the standoff by freeing a jailed Red Army guerilla, who flew off with the hostage-takers in a plane to Syria. Born into poverty in post-war Tokyo, Shigenobu was the daughter of a World War II major who became a grocer after Japan’s defeat. She announced the Red Army’s disbanding from prison in April 2001, and in 2008 was diagnosed with colon and intestinal cancer, undergoing several operations.

Archaeologists working in the Yucatan region of Mexico have revealed the remains of a centuries-old Mayan city, local media reported on Friday. The city of Xiol — which means "the spirit of man" in Mayan — is believed to have been the home of some 4,000 people between 600 and 900 CE, during the late classic period. Archaeologists from the National Institute for Anthropology and History (INAH) then took over the site. The archaeologists also highlighted the array of palaces, pyramids and plazas found at the site as well as evidence of various social classes residing there. Several tools and ceramics dating back as far as the pre-classic period (700-350 BCE) were also displayed by the researchers.

Sri Lanka on Saturday received Russian oil in a bid to restart operations in the island nation's only refinery, AFP quoted the country's energy minister Kanchana Wijesekera. The Russian crude oil delivery has been waiting offshore at Colombo's port for over a month as the island nation was unable to raise $75 million to pay for it. Around 90,000 tonnes of Siberian light crude will be sent to Sri Lanka's refinery after the shipment was acquired on credit from Dubai-based intermediary Coral Energy. Wijesekera said Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) was already in arrears of $735 million to suppliers and no one came forward to even bid for its oil tenders. The government will call for fresh supply tenders in two weeks before the stock of Siberian light runs out.

Mecosta County Sheriff Brian Miller said deputies responding to reports of shots fired found the mother, children and wounded man Friday afternoon in a home near Big Rapids in Austin Township, about 180 miles (290 kilometers) northwest of Detroit.

Miller said evidence suggests the woman's husband was responsible for the deaths. “It’s tragic by all accounts.”The person who alerted authorities was outside the home when deputies arrived and was not shot, he said. “There’s no better place I’d rather raise my kids at.”The shootings have taken an emotional toll, he said.

Ukrainian officials say they urgently need advanced US-made mobile multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) to halt Russian advances in Luhansk and Donetsk. Moscow, keenly aware of the game-changing potential of the rocket systems, has already voiced strong objections. But doubts remain about which weapons systems will be provided, and the timing of the US move. Despite the delay, he insisted it was “not too late” to send new weapons to Ukraine. Military support can reduce over time and probably the economic support will become more important as the fighting gradually subsides.”

The National Weather Service issued red flag warnings of critical fire conditions for parts of Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah. The strong winds could fan flames and cause the fire to jump containment lines and race forward, said John Chest, a fire operations manager. Nearly 3,000 firefighters and other personnel were assigned to the fire, which was contained around 48% of its perimeter.

VP Harris to mourners: Stand up for what's rightSaturday's funeral for 86-year-old Ruth Whitfield, the oldest and last of the victims of a gunman's racist attack on a Buffalo supermarket to be laid to rest, became a call for action and an emotional plea to end the hate and violence that has wracked the nation.

Michael Sam found his way back to football almost by happenstance. Eight years after becoming the first openly gay man to be drafted by an NFL team – and six since he last played in a professional game – Sam said he had planned to do some backpacking in Europe this year before later moving to England.

The demand has put the Monaco Grand Prix, one of F1's marquee events, in jeopardy. The grand prix also forms motorsports' Triple Crown along with the Indianapolis 500 and 24 Hours of Le Mans. While the promoters of Monaco pay F1 a sanctioning fee, it's believed to be nominal and around $15 million annually. F1 is in the final year of its contract with the Monaco Grand Prix, and if financial negotiations don't improve, the circuit could fall from the 2023 calendar. F1 without Monaco for me is not F1," said Charles Leclerc, the Ferrari driver and Monaco native.

This is a column about good news, written in the shadow of the worst news imaginable. Like many people, the mass shooting of children in Uvalde, Texas, is basically the only thing I’ve read about for days. Climate change, systemic racism, toxic masculinity, online disinformation, gun violence, police violence, the next Trump coup, the latest Covid variant, the death of democracy, climate change again. This is the liberal crisis list; the conservative list is different. In this one I want to acknowledge that in a different zone of existential agitation, things just meaningfully improved.

Not every child will thrive at summer camp, and there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the outdoors and gain the benefits that come with socialization and play. But if America wanted to, it could make summer camp accessible to every child who wanted to go. Mr. Rosenberg said day camps range in cost from free to more than $200 per day and overnight camp prices range from free to more than $500 per day. To scale up, summer camp operators say they need a dedicated funding stream, more philanthropic aid and help with staffing. No one is suggesting that a few weeks of summer camp is a cure-all.

MELBOURNE, Australia — When a man washed up on the shores of Christmas Island in 1942, lifeless and hunched over in a shrapnel-riddled raft, no one knew who he was. In 2006, the man’s remains were exhumed, but DNA extracted from his teeth yielded no match with a list of people Navy officials thought might be his descendants. With few leads, the scientist who conducted the DNA test, Jeremy Austin, told the Navy about an emerging technique that could predict a person’s ancestry and physical traits from genetic material. The method, known as DNA phenotyping, relies on variations in the genome associated with traits connected to physical appearance to assess the likelihood that a person has a certain hair, eye or skin color, among other characteristics. It differs from older techniques in that it does not require DNA to be matched with an existing sample in a database.

In fact few politicians have taken it on the chin harder than Democrat Max Rose, according to pundits. Rose is looking to reclaim his old seat in the city’s 11th District, which covers all of Staten Island plus conservative pockets of South Brooklyn like Bensonhurst and Dyker Heights. That map was tossed out by a court-appointed Special Master, who redrew the district closer to its original lines. “Democrat Max Rose has banked $1.4 million since losing to [Republican Nicole] Malliotakis by six points in 2020, but his comeback prospects were always predicated on more favorable district lines. Rose, who was born in Brooklyn, had already been campaigning there for months in anticipation of it being part of his original 11th.

The Atlanta Braves have called up their top prospect, Michael Harris II, and added the 21-year-old to their active roster in a move that could majorly shake up their outfield as well as their lineup. The move comes amid myriad issues with the Braves’ outfield, which has been shaky this season. Michael Harris II bats during the 2021 Sirius XM Futures Game. In only 43 games in Double-A this season, Harris hit .305, with an .878 OPS, a .372 on base percentage with five homers and 11 stolen bases. Now Harris has the opportunity to be the Braves starting center fielder for years to come.

Russian oligarch and former Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich issued a farewell statement to fans Saturday, just hours after the club announced it had reached "a final and definitive (sale) agreement" with Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly. "Since I came to Chelsea nearly 20 years ago, I have witnessed firsthand what this club can achieve.

Muñoz criticized the Texas Department of Public Safety for its shifting accounts of what occurred at the school on Tuesday, but he cautioned against drawing too many conclusions. He said he spoke on Saturday with Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw, and that the two men cried together.

When Liverpool and Real Madrid last met in the Champions League final, Liverpool star Mohamed Salah departed the 2018 game in tears, injured after a 22nd-minute Sergio Ramos challenge. “I want to play Madrid,” he told BT Sport. “We lost in the final against them, so I want to play against them and hopefully win it from them as well.”The 2018 final was an unfortunate affair for Liverpool fans, and not just because of Salah’s early exit. Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema jabbed a thoughtless throw by Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius into the back of the net for the game’s first score. Twelve minutes later, after a Sadio Mané equalizer, Gareth Bale angled an acrobatic bicycle kick over Karius, who again became the focus of fan ire when Bale drilled a long shot through his hands to score 20 minutes later.

KINSHASA, May 28 (Reuters) - Democratic Republic of Congo has summoned Rwanda's ambassador and suspended RwandAir flights to Congo in response to what it says is Kigali's support for M23 rebels carrying out a military offensive in its eastern borderlands.

On its website, Rwanda's army requested the release of two Rwandan soldiers it said were "kidnapped" along its border with Congo. Rwanda invaded Congo in 1996 to pursue the militiamen.

He subsequently contested and won presidential elections under the People's Democratic Party (PDP), now an opposition party. Jonathan, who was defeated in 2015 by the APC's candidate, has not said under which party he intends to contest.
