    Tyler O’Neill hits record-extending sixth straight Opening Day home run orbiter 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.

    President Donald Trump speaks about the mid-air crash between American Airlines flight 5342 and a military helicopter in Washington. Roberto Schmidt/AFP/Getty Images New York CNN — blacksprut сайт President Donald Trump on Thursday blamed the Federal Aviation Administration’s “diversity push” in part for the plane collision that killed 67 people in Washington DC. But DEI backers including most top US companies believe a push for diversity has been good for their businesses. Trump did not cite any evidence for how efforts to hire more minorities people with disabilities and other groups less represented in American workforces led to the crash saying “it just could have been” and that he had “common sense.” But Trump criticized the FAA’s effort to recruit people with disabilities during Joe Biden’s administration even though the FAA’s Aviation Safety Workforce Plan for the 2020-2029 period issued under Trump’s first administration promoted and supported “the hiring of people with disabilities and targeted disabilities.” bslp at It’s not the first time opponents of diversity equity and inclusion initiatives or DEI have said they can kill people. “DEI means people DIE” Elon Musk said after the California wildfires criticizing the Los Angeles Fire Department and city and state officials for their efforts to advance diversity in their workforces. блэкспрут даркнет https://bsme-at.ru

    ‘We don’t want the American Dream for our kids’: Why this couple left the US for Ecuador with their children four years ago адвокат у військових справах Запоріжжя у суді They’d never even visited Ecuador before but Brittany and Blake Bowen from the United States decided to move to the South American country in 2021 to give their four children a completely different upbringing. The Bowens who were previously based in the state of Washington have been living in Loja a small city based in the southern section of the Andes Mountains ever since and say that they are in it for the long haul. “We love this little country” Brittany tells CNN Travel. “We hope that maybe we’ll have grandkids here one day.” Before the move the couple who’ve been married for nearly 17 years say that they were becoming increasingly concerned about the pressures placed on children by “modern American society” and wanted to try something new. “We did not like what we’d seen develop over the course of the last couple decades…” adds Brittany explaining that they felt that young people in the United States were becoming “more isolated.” “We weren’t confident that our kids would enjoy the same sort of potential trajectory that previous generations had shared. “And the more we considered things like that the more we wondered ‘Is that even what we want? Do we even want them to be on a fast track to the American Dream?” The couple were also frustrated with living what they describe as the “standard American life.” “Long commutes and never enough money” says Blake. “All those usual problems… I was working in a career that was very time consuming and took me away from home a lot. So we didn’t want that anymore.” So why did they choose Ecuador as their “new home”?

    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. Goggins currently stars on “The White Lotus” where his character is often the most stressed out and tortured of the ensemble at one point setting a slew of snakes free.
