“Every morning I come downstairs and he’s already done the dishwasher he’s already packed his lunch and he’s ready to go” Ruthe’s father Ben tells CNN Sports. “He’s just a disciplined kid. He goes to bed early he looks after himself he eats well he looks after his sister. He’s just a good kid around the house in all ways really. We’re very lucky.” pendle Ruthe is next due to compete in the 1500 meters at the Maurie Plant Meet in Melbourne on Saturday and one target time to aim for will be his dad’s fastest time of 3:41.22 – three hundredths of a second faster than Ruthe’s current personal best. But he still has a way to go before he can call himself the most decorated runner in his family. Dad Ben and mom Jess are both former national champions who represented New Zealand on the world stage while his maternal grandparents won European championship medals for Great Britain. His grandmother Rosemary Stirling arguably had the most impressive achievement: an 800m Commonwealth Games title from 1970. Despite his family pedigree Ruthe was never under any pressure to take running seriously. His parents in fact didn’t allow him or his sister Daisy to train at all until they were 13 never wanting their identities to be tied solely to running. “It feels like it’s the right decision about now” says Ben. But as he gradually starts to realize his potential Ruthe when pushed admits to having big goals in the sport. “If I had to pick one thing definitely Olympic gold” he says. “I feel like that’s most runners’ dream and the biggest thing you can actually win. So that’ll definitely be the top of my bucket list.” The 2032 Olympics in Brisbane Ruthe adds would be a nice target. And as for the Los Angeles Games in three years’ time? “I’d actually love to try and qualify for LA 28” he says. “I feel like that’ll be a tough goal. But if I do that I’ll be really happy.” Already Ruthe’s name is being mentioned in the same breath as Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen the most successful middle-distance of this generation. It was his record as the youngest-ever four-minute miler that Ruthe took last week and the New Zealander also beat Ingebrigtsen’s 1500m record for a 15-year-old earlier this year. Ingebrigtsen’s success Ruthe says has given him hope that he too can “have a good future” in the sport. But his biggest source of motivation comes not from the two-time Olympic champion but from those closest to him – his training group led by coach Craig Kirkwood and athlete Sam Tanner. The pair were instrumental in Ruthe’s recent mile time of 3:58.35 and it was five-time national champion Tanner who paced him perfectly around four laps of the track on his way to the record.
Aged 15 New Zealander Sam Ruthe has already run a four-minute mile. He would ‘love to try and qualify’ for the 2028 Olympics paraswap Sam Ruthe had the eyes of thousands on him when he stepped onto a running track in Auckland just over a week ago. Undaunted by the occasion Ruthe went on to become the first 15-year-old to run a sub-four-minute mile even managing a nonchalant shrug of the shoulders as he crossed the finish line. The race was almost entirely engineered for the high school student to break the fabled four-minute barrier – a feat first achieved by Roger Bannister more than 70 years ago – but the weight of running history was a burden that Ruthe seemed to bear lightly. The first three laps he later said in a video documenting the race “felt pretty comfortable – nothing too crazy.” Perhaps the most intimidating part of his achievement occurred when Ruthe returned to school the next day only to be immediately called into the principal’s office. “He’s like ‘Alright so you’re gonna have to go up on stage and we’ll get the whole school to clap you’” Ruthe tells CNN Sports’ Patrick Snell. “It was really scary actually. I headed into class and everyone thought I was famous.” It’s easy to forget given his history-making performance last week that Ruthe is like most other 15-year-olds in New Zealand. He goes to school spends time with his friends and helps with chores around the house. He also just happens to be one of the most exciting middle-distance runners on the planet one of the latest star athletes to emerge from sports-mad New Zealand.
Tyler O’Neill hits record-extending sixth straight Opening Day home run orbiter finance For six seasons in a row Tyler O’Neill has homered on MLB Opening Day. Making his debut for the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday O’Neill started the season with his record-extending sixth straight home run on Opening Day during his team’s 12-2 win against the Toronto Blue Jays. No other player has homered on more than four consecutive Opening Days with the 29-year-old outfielder’s three-run shot sending the Orioles into a 5-0 lead at the top of the third at Rogers Centre. Todd Hundley 1994-97 Gary Carter 1977-80 and Yogi Berra 1955-58 all hit four consecutive home runs on Opening Day while the Major League Baseball record for the total number of Opening Day home runs is held jointly by Adam Dunn Ken Griffey Jr. and Frank Robinson on eight. “I’m just not trying to make too much of it” O’Neill told reporters about his streak. “I’m just trying to go out have a good first at-bat and see what the game gives me from there. “Obviously I understand what’s going on but it’s not like I’m going out there trying to do anything crazy.” O’Neill who signed a three-year 49.5 million contract to join Baltimore from the Boston Red Sox in the offseason finished three-for-three with three RBIs and two walks against the Blue Jays. “It’s a little different when the lights turn on and you’ve got to show up so it was really cool to see all the guys show up today” he said. “We got after it out there.” While the first two games of the MLB regular season took place between the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers in Tokyo last week Thursday marked the first official day of the season in the United States.
Critics say this power imbalance is clear in the 2016 contract Guyana signed with Exxon. Under the agreement Exxon keeps 75 of everything it makes from its oil operations in Guyana with the remaining 25 shared equally between the company and the government which also takes a 2 royalty. lido “It was a bad deal” Ali said in the BBC interview but he has rejected the idea of unilaterally changing the agreement which was signed by the previous government. He says the next contract with Exxon will be on different terms. An Exxon spokesperson said the contract is “globally competitive for countries at a similar stage of exploration” and said Guyana is averaging 1 billion a year in “oil profits.” Exxon has also faced a number of lawsuits over its potential environmental impact many filed by Melinda Janki a Guyanese international lawyer who drafted the country’s Environmental Protection Act back in the 1990s. A big victory for Guyana’s people and environment came in 2023 when the court ruled Exxon should have unlimited liability for the costs of any oil spill. Exxon has since appealed the ruling and has posted a 2 billion guarantee while it awaits the appeal outcome. Exxon said this commitment supplements “its robust balance sheets … and the insurance policies they already had in place.” Janki says this isn’t enough. Offshore oil spills can be extremely expensive to deal with the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill cost nearly 70 billion to clean up. The push and pull between those who say oil offers Guyana a brighter future and those who fear the industry’s impact will continue. Exxon said it’s had a positive impact on the country including employing more than 6200 people investing more than 2 billion with local Guyanese businesses since 2015 and spending more than 43 million on community projects.
“You have a government that is reckless about what is going to happen to Guyana” said Melinda Janki an international lawyer in Guyana who is handling several lawsuits against Exxon. It’s pursuing “a supposed course of development that is actually backward and destructive” she told CNN. kelp dao And while plenty of Guyanese people welcome the new oil industry some say Guyana’s startling economic statistics do not reflect a real-world prosperity for ordinary people many of whom are struggling with the higher prices accompanying the oil boom. Inflation rose 6.6 in 2023 with prices of some foods shooting up much more rapidly. “Since the oil extraction began in Guyana we have noticed that our cost of living has gone sky high” said Wintress White of Red Thread a non-profit that focuses on improving living conditions for Guyanese women. “The money is not trickling down to the masses” she told CNN. CNN contacted President Ali the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of Finance for comment but received no response. Guyana a former Dutch then British colony which gained independence in 1966 is one of only a handful of countries that is a “carbon sink” meaning it stores more planet-heating pollution than it produces. This is due to its vast rainforest; trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow. The country has protected its biodiversity where others have destroyed theirs President Ali said in a BBC interview last year. In 2009 the country signed an agreement with Norway which promised Guyana more than 250 million to preserve its 18.5 million hectares or nearly 46 million acres of forests. Ali insists the country can balance climate leadership and fossil fuel exploitation. The new oil wealth will allow Guayana to develop including building climate adaptations such as sea walls he has said. He has also pointed to the continued failures of wealthy countries already grown rich on their own fossil fuels to help poorer countries with climate finance. But there are concerns Guyana could fall victim to the “resource curse” in which vast new wealth ?can actually make life worse for those who live there.
A tiny rainforest country is growing into a petrostate. A US oil company could reap the biggest rewards kyberswap Guyana’s destiny changed in 2015. US fossil fuel giant Exxon discovered nearly 11 billion barrels of oil in the deep water off the coast of this tiny rainforested country. It was one of the most spectacular oil discoveries of recent decades. By 2019 Exxon and its partners US oil company Hess and China-headquartered CNOOC had started producing the fossil fuel.? They now pump around 650000 barrels of oil a day with plans to more than double this to 1.3 million by 2027. Guyana now has the world’s highest expected oil production growth through 2035. This country — sandwiched between Brazil Venezuela and Suriname — has been hailed as a climate champion for the lush well-preserved forests that carpet nearly 90 of its land. It is on the path to becoming a petrostate at the same time as the impacts of the fossil fuel-driven climate crisis escalate. While the government says environmental protection and an oil industry can go hand-in-hand and low-income countries must be allowed to exploit their own resources critics say it’s a dangerous path in a warming world and the benefits may ultimately skew toward Exxon — not Guyana. Since Exxon’s transformative discovery Guyana’s government has tightly embraced oil as a route to prosperity. In December 2019 then-President David Granger said in a speech “petroleum resources will be utilized to provide the good life for all … Every Guyanese will benefit.” It’s a narrative that has continued under current President Mohamed Irfaan Ali who says new oil wealth will allow Guyana to develop better infrastructure healthcare and climate adaptation.
The voice of ‘White Lotus’ star Walton Goggins is the lullaby we didn’t know we needed jumper exchange While his “White Lotus” character Rick has been the source of some stress this season Walton Goggins is here to soothe us into a state of dreamy sleep to make up for it. The actor has partnered with relaxation and meditation app Calm for one of their famed Sleep Stories lending his smoky voice to a fable titled “The Yard Sale.” Goggins announced the Sleep Story on his verified Instagram on Tuesday writing “A friend once said to me the first question you ask someone shouldn’t be ‘How are you?’ but rather ‘How did you sleep last night?’ I agree.” The post included an excerpt from the story in which Goggins is heard languidly instructing listeners to relax their bodies and get into bed. “You could even climb into a hammock” he added. “I wouldn’t do that because I’ve never gracefully got in or out of one.” In the caption the actor also wrote that he “wanted to create a Sleep Story that feels dreamlike helping people slow their minds down by wandering through a yard sale which happens to be one of my favorite things to do uncovering hidden treasures.” “It’s the Walton Goggins version of counting sheep. I hope you enjoy” he added. Other celebrities who have read bedtime stories in the hopes of putting audiences to sleep include Dolly Parton and the late Jimmy Stewart whose voice was featured in a Calm Christmas Sleep Story in 2023 thanks to generative AI technology.

‘White Lotus’ villain Jon Gries reveals the true crimes that inspired his twisty take on Greg/Gary fixedfloat exchange When Season 3 of “The White Lotus” premiered last month the shock was palpable when returning character Belinda recognized a familiar face at the resort in Thailand: Greg Hunt the wily suitor of the late Tanya McQuoid. As the season has unfolded Greg played by Jon Gries has emerged as an antagonist particularly after Belinda dove into the investigation surrounding Tanya’s death and learned that Greg who now goes by Gary evaded questioning by authorities. On a show famous for reinventing itself the same has been asked of the actor who says that playing the ever-shifting character has been a welcome challenge and like “White Lotus” itself full of twists. “In the beginning I totally played him for a guy who was you know on his last legs” Gries said in a recent interview with CNN referencing Greg’s very apparent ill health in the first season of “White Lotus” which premiered to rave reviews in summer 2021. He added: “When you play a character you want to find his empathetic side and you want to understand where they came from and what got them to where they are.” But when he was contacted by creator Mike White about appearing in Season 2 Gries realized he would have to adjust his framing of Greg despite having previously imagined a “comprehensive history” for him on his own. “White said ‘I’m writing it right now and I’m writing you and I just need to know here and now: If you’re in I’ll continue writing. If not I’ll stop’” Gries recalled.
