Red Bull planned to start Hungarian GP on hard F1 tyres - Motorsport.com

Listen to this article

With Max Verstappen starting down in 10th on the grid after his engine problem in qualifying, and teammate Sergio Perez one place further back, Red Bull's simulations had shown that the best route to deliver a good result was to have a long first stint on the hard.

But difficulties that both drivers had in switching even the soft tyre on on the way to the grid prompted Red Bull to scrap its initial idea.

That proved to be a hugely significant move, as struggles that a number of rivals – including Ferrari's Charles Leclerc – had with the hard showed it would have doomed Red Bull to a very difficult opening phase of the race rather than put on a charge on the soft that helped secure it the win.

"Our strategy was out of the window after the laps to the grid," explained Verstappen.

"We had to change it around and make a new one. But I don't think that's very hard for the team: they're very flexible, and they know what they're doing."

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner reckoned, knowing how hard things had been for the drivers on the laps out to the grid, that it would have been 'ludicrous' to have gone ahead with its original plan.

"We were going to start the race on the hard tyre because statistically, that looked like our best race," he said.

"But the drivers were struggling to generate temperature in the soft tyre on the way to the grid. And it felt ludicrous to be starting the race on a hard tyre, particularly with some weather around.

"We converted both drivers on the grid to the soft tyre, which committed us very much to a two stop. But we made it work today, and it played out beautifully."

Verstappen agreed it was an absolute no-brainer to scrap the hard tyre plan once it become clear how hard it was going to be to switch the rubber on.

"I went to the grid on the soft tyres and I was already struggling for grip, so I was like: 'no way we're gonna start on the hard," he explained.

"It's also credit to the team because we, of course, plan the strategy around the hard tyre, and then we are like okay, we're switching it to a soft.

"I'm very happy that we did because the hard tyre it was really, really tough. And you could see that with Charles and Carlos, they were sliding around a lot."

Ferrari explains reasons behind Leclerc’s doomed F1 hard tyre switch - Motorsport.com

Listen to this article

Leclerc started on medium compound tyres at the Hungaroring and spent the opening stint running third, only to jump teammate Carlos Sainz for second place by getting the overcut at the first round of pitstops.

With a five-lap tyre delta, Leclerc managed to catch race leader George Russell and pass him for P1 before opening up a three-second gap at the head of the field.

But when Ferrari brought Leclerc into the pits at the end of lap 39, the team decided to fit hard tyres that struggled to get up to temperature in the cold conditions.

It led to Leclerc quickly being overtaken twice by title rival Max Verstappen, who had started 10th, before losing more and more time as the stint wore on. He was eventually brought in just 15 laps later for a third stop before ultimately finishing sixth.

Ferrari F1 boss Mattia Binotto revealed the team's simulations said that while the hards would be tricky to get up to temperature early on, they were predicted to be the better tyre for the final stint.

"When we fitted the hard, our simulation was that it could have been a difficult couple of laps of warm-up," Binotto explained. "It would have been slower to the medium for 10-11 laps, and then it would have come back and been faster than the end of the stint, and it was a 30-lap stint.

"We were trying to protect position on Max. It would have been too long certainly for the softs. Yes, it would have been difficult at the start of the stint, but it would have come back by the end."

Leclerc said after the race that he wanted to hold on to the medium tyres for as long as possible, only to be called it for the hards. He was moved onto softs at his third stop, but could not catch the cars ahead.

The P6 finish means Leclerc now sits 80 points behind Verstappen at the top of the drivers' championship heading into the summer break.

A number of drivers struggled with the hard tyres due to the unusually cool conditions during the race, including Alpine's Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon, both of whom lost time during the early part of their stints.

Asked if Ferrari had seen what Alpine's hard tyre struggles and considered not pitting to cover Verstappen, Binotto replied: "Yes, we discussed it, so it's not that [the strategy] is all written in stone.

"During the race and looking at what's going on, we have as well looked at what was happening with the other hard tyres.

"We took all considerations, we discussed what would have been best and that's the choice that we made. It certainly was not the right one today."

Read Also:

But Binotto stressed the bigger issue for Ferrari on Sunday was the car's lack of pace compared to what it saw on Friday, when Leclerc had set the fastest time and impressed over the long runs.

"It's important to say that we believe that the car was not working as expected," Binotto said. "We didn't have the speed we were hoping for looking back at the Friday, and the pace we had in the race conditions on Friday. So today was certainly different conditions, a lot cooler.

"But overall the speed today was not great enough, and whatever tyres we were using, I don't think we were as good as we were looking for."

Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux hard on himself after unsatisfying practice - New York Post

hard.indah.link

Kayvon Thibodeaux has not counted his would-be sacks in training camp, just his successful moves. And he did not like where the number ended up Saturday. 

“I didn’t really have the biggest execution on the moves that I wanted, so it wasn’t a good day,” Thibodeaux said at the conclusion of Giants practice. “Even though I was working hard, I probably got to the quarterback a couple times, I still like to really sharpen it and hold myself to a higher standard.” 

The highest standard is where Thibodeaux holds himself. And it is what the Giants, who put their faith in the Oregon product by selecting him fifth overall in the draft this spring, expect of him. As soon as possible. 

The Giants ranked 22nd in sacks last year, and bolstering the pass rush was one of many items on new general manager Joe Schoen’s to-do list this offseason. Thibodeaux, who will play outside linebacker in Don Martindale’s 3-4 defense, is the addition most suited to that end.

“They have articulated that they’re counting on us [himself and rookie tackle Evan Neal], but I’m counting on myself to make the plays and live up to those goals that I have for myself,” Thibodeaux said. “It’s been a great journey so far and I know that they believe in us.” 

Even early in training camp — too early to get a real evaluation of linemen, as the pads won’t go on until Monday — things look positive. Thibodeaux has fully recovered from an injury that kept him limited during organized team activities, and even on the topic of not hitting the quarterback, he drew praise from Giants coach Brian Daboll. 

“He’s a good listener,” Daboll said jokingly, as the Giants have kept their quarterbacks uninjured thus far. “It’s hard to play defensive line or be a pass rusher and have to stay away from the quarterback and be smart, but that’s something we stress.” 

It is, however, hard to get a real read on Thibodeaux since he cannot go full tilt. 

“For the whole front line, you really have to judge when the pads come on,” Thibodeaux said. “There’s a different type of play. We can’t really bull-rush, we can’t use all our moves and then we gotta hold up on the quarterback. Knowing that, I’d rather lose a rep than get yelled at by [Daboll].”

Time will soon alleviate that issue and give a better indication of what Thibodeaux can do — and how soon he can do it. 

Nothing he does on the field this year will put an early end to the Giants’ rebuilding process, but he can give fans a reason to get excited, or at least to believe. It has been some time since the Giants provided either of those. 

Thibodeaux, who at various points was projected to go as high as first overall in the draft, can give them a foundation at a position of import. And at 21 years old, such a foundation would be long-lasting. 

At least for the time being, though, all of that is conjecture, a future Thibodeaux himself did not delve into Saturday. The future he focused on was the one in which he straps on the pads and does some hitting. 

“I’m very excited,” he said. “There’s a lot of things as a pass rusher, as a defensive guy, you’re not able to do without pads. … Now it’ll be more of a fair game. I’ll be able to use all the moves I’ve been working on.” 

That future, at least, is a guarantee, even if anything afterward is not. It will come on Monday.

Joe Gibbs says team is ‘working as hard as we can’ to keep Kyle Busch - NBC Sports

hard.indah.link

INDIANAPOLIS — Car owner Joe Gibbs told NBC Sports on Saturday that his team and Toyota are “working as hard as we can” to secure sponsorship and sign Kyle Busch to a contract extension.

“It’s just trying to get something done,” Gibbs said before the Xfinity Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. “You get up every day and go after it as hard as you can. You would hope that this would have already been resolved but it’s not. It’s been hard.”

Busch and Gibbs seemed to be in a good spot with a potential deal with Oracle before the technology company decided against it. A recent report stated that Oracle has discussed a $1 billion cost-cutting initiative that could lead to thousands of layoffs.

With Oracle out, JGR is tasked with trying to find approximately $20 million in sponsorship with less than seven months before the next season.

“You’ve got to have sponsorship in this sport to be able to go forward,” Busch said. “It’s not as simple as being a basketball player and being a Michael Jordan or a LeBron James or something like that and being a really good player and the team losing a sponsor and then saying, ‘OK, Michael and LeBron, we have to let you go because we can’t afford you.’

“Again you have to have some sponsorship on this car. Unfortunately, there’s not that unicorn. There’s not that big 20 million dollar number out there. I’d like to be able to piece it together, but I haven’t heard much on that yet, either.”

Gibbs told NBC Sports that he talked with Busch on Saturday morning.

“We’ve got things going on,” Gibbs said. “We’re not sure what’s going to happen, or is something going to finish up the way we want it to finish it up. We’re working on things. It’s just a hard, hard deal, really.”

Asked if he saw a scenario where Busch was not driving for JGR, Gibbs said: “We don’t want that. Toyota doesn’t want that.”

David Wilson, president of Toyota Racing Development, told NBC Sports last week that JGR and Toyota were working on contingency plans while still trying to sign Busch. One potential would be a bridge deal, spanning only next year instead of a typical three-year deal. 

While such a deal likely would not match Busch’s current salary, it would provide more time for JGR to find the sponsorship needed to pay the two-time Cup champion a salary worthy of his ability, something likely in excess of $10 million. 

Busch said Saturday he would be “willing to take concessions and race for under my market value and go forward in being able to stay in the seat that I’ve made home for the last 15 years.” 

With Busch’s status uncertain, one option for JGR and Toyota would be Gibbs’ grandson, Ty. The 19-year-old shocked NASCAR when he won in his first Xfinity Series start last year. He has eight Xfinity wins since last year and has many people believing he can make the move to Cup full-time.

Ty Gibbs made his Cup debut last weekend at Pocono, filling in for an injured Kurt Busch at 23XI Racing. Ty Gibbs is back in the car at Indianapolis with Kurt Busch out a second consecutive week because of concussion-like symptoms.

Joe Gibbs has been impressed with his grandson.

“Every race is kind of a learning experience for him and growing, so I think that’s what he’s focused on. We are just trying to give him as much experience as we can,” Joe Gibbs said. 

Ty Gibbs said Saturday that he’s not looking to what could happen next year.

“I’m not making those decisions,” Ty Gibbs said. “I can spend as much time thinking about hypotheticals, but hypotheticals will never win races.”

Kyle Busch, though, has to look at other options beyond Joe Gibbs Racing. He has said he’s talked to other teams.

One natural consideration would be Kaulig Racing, which has had three different drivers in the No. 16 car this year. Team owner Matt Kaulig talks often going for wins by saying the team is “trophy hunting.” Kaulig also has said a key tenant in his view of business is that “either you continue to grow or you begin to die.” 

In April 2021 Kaulig told NBC Sports: “We want to be one of the bigger teams in NASCAR. That is our goal. We do want to dominate. We do want to win races. We look at the other organizations out there like Gibbs, Penske and Hendrick. We want to beat those organizations.”

Signing Kyle Busch would help elevate Kaulig Racing and make it  more of a challenger to the sport’s top teams. 

Kaulig told NBC Sports before Saturday’s Xfinity race that “we haven’t talked to Kyle at all … No conversation.”

Kevin Harvick said Saturday that he would be “100 percent open” to having Kyle Busch as a teammate at Stewart-Haas Racing.

Stewart-Haas Racing has an opening for next season with Aric Almirola announcing before the season that he would retire from full-time Cup racing after this season. However, there is talk that Almirola could return to the car in either a part-time or full-time role as a way to keep sponsor Smithfield.

There’s no way Kyle Busch doesn’t have a lot of options,” Harvick said. “I know there’s a lot of things that go on around Kyle, but in the end Kyle is still one of the best that’s ever come through this garage. There’s a lot of teams that can say that they’ve never had one of those types of drivers. He literally could rebuild an organization if somebody took a chance that hasn’t had one of those types of drivers.”

The idea of teaming with Kyle Busch excites Harvick.

“I can tell you that having a teammate like Kyle makes my car run faster,” he said. “Because when you have all the cars running fast, they all run faster, quicker. I’m 100 percent open to having Kyle as a teammate.”

When does 'Hard Knocks' start? 2022 premiere date, trailer for HBO's Lions series - Sporting News

hard.indah.link

"Hard Knocks," HBO's popular deep dive into an NFL team's training camp, is coming to Detroit this year. In Dan Campbell's sophomore season, the Lions are trying to build off a 3-13-1 record that saw some moments of grit amid a lot of low points in the year.

Detroit, however, has become a preseason darling of sorts. Dan Campbell has raked in bets for Coach of the Year, and they're getting a baffling amount of traction in people thinking they'll go as far as wresting the NFC North from the dominant Packers, who are absent Davante Adams.

In other words, hype is high in the Motor City — and it's only going to get higher after the Lions get the "Hard Knocks" bump.

A trailer for the popular show came out on Saturday on NFL.com. It's the stock-standard fare, with Campbell talking over b-roll of training moments and locations in the city, including the Motown Museum and the giant Joe Louis fist.

You can see the full trailer here.

When does 'Hard Knocks' premiere?

"Hard Knocks" for the Lions will premiere on Tuesday, Aug. 9 on HBO at 10 p.m. ET. There will also be in-season episodes following the Arizona Cardinals in November, which should be interesting after Kyler Murray's recent extension.

  • Date: Tuesday, Aug. 9
  • Time: 10 p.m. ET
  • Channel: HBO
  • Stream: HBO Max (After initial airing)

The Lions enter this season with surprisingly high aspirations, given they're not a completely new-look team from last year. But Campbell's swagger is infectious; in the trailer, he says the Lions will be a "terror" in the NFL this season. While standard coach speak, Lions fans will be happy to hear his confidence.

How to watch 'Hard Knocks'

HBO is, of course, a premium service, which means watching it via regular cable isn't an option. HBO is $14.99 a month, and acts as an add-on to your current television package.

HBO Max, meanwhile, is $9.99 a month and grants on-demand access to shows and movies. "Hard Knocks" will go live on HBO Max directly after the episode ends (circa 11 p.m. ET).

HBO Max is available on various streaming platforms, including Roku, Playstation, Xbox, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Apple TV, and various Smart TVs.

Find a comprehensive list here.

Potential 'Hard Knocks' storylines

The Lions are coming off a 3-13-1 season in Campbell's first year, so the biggest storyline is how this team improved. New additions Jameson Williams and D.J. Chark are hoping to provide a spark for Jared Goff, who is generally thought of as a bridge quarterback until the Lions land their QB of the future.

Director Shannon Furman also singled out wide receiver Trinity Benson as an interesting fringe standout, per Sports Illustrated. Jeff Okudah, the third overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, is also looking to bounce back from a torn Achilles he suffered in Week 1 last season, the first of many brutal injuries to the Detroit secondary.

No. 2 overall pick Aidan Hutchinson will be another player to watch, alongside defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, who was solid in his first season calling plays last year.

Campbell, however, is shaping to be the star of the show. He's brash, he's enthusiastic, and he's everything you want to see in a player's coach. He's already making waves in training camp, having admonished new Lions Athletic reporter Colton Pouncy for having his cell phone alarm go off during a new conference. He also was seen doing up-downs with the team in practice.

Seemingly everyone who follows Campbell wants to see him do well as a coach. That following is about to grow substantially.

Prince William, Kate Middleton party hard in viral clip of life before marriage - Page Six

hard.indah.link

Prince William and Kate Middleton may live a prim and proper life now that they’re married with three children. A new viral clip, however, show’s the couple partying hard throughout the UK as two kids in their 20s, years before tying the knot.

The TikTok clip — which has now been viewed more than 4 million times — features the royal pair living their best lives with friends, with both William and Kate looking inebriated in certain shots after several nights out on the town.

The couple was praised within the comment section for their relatability, with Middleton receiving additional compliments for her stunning looks, both then and now.

“How is she so photogenic! These are the roughest pictures of her in existence and she still looks like a flipping goddess!,” wrote one fan, with another adding, “Kate didn’t age at all.”

“they look like me in a normal day when my friends take photos….without any alcohol😂,” joked one follower, with a shocked observer adding, “i thought they’ve never had fun.”

The pair met and dated in 2002 while students at St. Andrews University in Scotland. While they briefly split in 2007, they soon reunited, with William proposing in 2010 and the couple marrying the following year.

“When I first met Kate, I knew there was something very special about her, and then I knew there was possibly something I wanted to explore there, but we ended up being friends for a while,” Prince William said in an interview following their 2010 engagement.

“That was a good sort of foundation. I do genuinely believe now that being friends with [each other] is a massive advantage.”

While fans loved taking a trip down memory lane with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, many couldn’t help but question how footage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle partying together would be perceived, as many believe a double standard would come into play.

“If it was Harry and His wife it would be a scandale,” one observer commented, with another agreeing, “it’s all good but if it was our gurl Megan would be a different story.”

Despite papal apology, some Native Americans find it hard to forgive - CatholicPhilly.com

hard.indah.link

The legacy of residential schools has been handed down to today’s Native Americans.

Jody Roy’s uncle was sexually and physically abused in Canada. Terry Cornell had three family members who never came home from a residential school in the U.S.

So when Pope Francis apologized to Canadian Indigenous for the ways in which many members of the church and of religious communities cooperated in projects of cultural destruction and forced assimilation at residential schools, Native Americans, like many Canadian Indigenous, said forgiveness was hard — despite their Catholic faith.

“They ripped those children away; they took them out of their hands and arms,” said Roy, an Ojibway who serves as director of the St. Kateri Center of Chicago.

“The U.S. government’s assimilation policy was nothing short of murder,” said Terry Cornell, whose heritage is Irish and Cheyenne Arapahoe. “All it was was a cash grab. The government paid these agencies to kill the Indian inside them.”

“The historical trauma is real,” Cornell said, adding, “not just from deaths, but from everything that’s been done to these people.”

Cornell and Roy are on the coordinating team for the Catholic Native Boarding School Accountability and Healing Project, more commonly known as AHP.

Cornell said he believes it would be really hard for many Native Americans to even accept an apology and that, as a Catholic, he struggles internally, even though he believes in the Catholic concept of forgiveness.

He told of visiting his grandmother in Oklahoma and said the enormity of the situation did not really hit him until he was an adult.

“She would start telling stories and then she would break down and cry,” Cornell said. And even today, in the United States, “They’re finding bodies of young children, as young as 3” at former residential schools. The government owned the schools and contracted with various agencies — including some religions — to run them.

“Why has it taken so long for the Catholic Church” or others to acknowledge what happened to Native Americans? he asked. Native Americans “are always at the back of the line. They’re almost invisible.”

“How do you forgive what’s been done to you?” he added.

Roy said her mother was the youngest of 12 siblings and was fortunate that she was one year too young to be taken away. But she did attend day school, which “was just as harsh,” Roy told CNS.

She said stories about her uncle were the worst she heard.

“He’s been sexually abuse, he’d been physically abused and obviously mentally abused” when in residential school from Grades 1-8, she said.

When the Canadian government offered a compensation plan to survivors, he took the minimum. He told his story initially, then authorities came back and wanted to record it. She said he decided “it’s not worth the pain and suffering to relive those moments again.”

Roy said as her aunt began telling her story, it helped her aunt’s healing journey.

“She understands that healing needs to be done from both sides,” Roy said. She also acknowledged that people’s ancestors did the harm, and people today are “dealing with a lot: They can’t believe that our people did this to your people.”

Maka Black Elk, another member of the AHP, is an Oglala Lakota and currently leads a truth and healing process for Red Cloud Indian School, a former boarding school in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. He said he understood that Pope Francis’ apology provoked a range of emotions, and “it didn’t go as far as some people would have liked.”

“I think what’s really important is that we recognize that, for many survivors and boarders … many of them needed this,” he told CNS. “It’s unfortunate that it’s taken this long, but it’s important to recognize the history that was written …. And for me, that’s hopeful.”

All of those interviewed said what happens next is important.

Pope Francis can’t “snap his fingers and make something happen,” said Black Elk. He said he hopes “more and more bishops and more and more Catholics across the world — and especially in the United States and Canada — do what the pope is calling them to do.” Healing must include steps forward, he said; the pope can call for that, but the churches and people on the ground have to enact it.

Cornell said he hopes that perhaps apologies can lift the burden off the shoulders of survivors. He said he wishes “that I could just take away their pain.”

He also said some Native Americans criticize him for sitting on the AHP board with other Catholics, but he thinks, “maybe there’s some common ground there.”

He believes the U.S. needs a consortium of survivors and tribal leaders to come together and find out “where do they go from here.”

Roy said she believes Native Americans need the same kind of apology from the pope in the U.S. “I think it needs to be done on the U.S. soil. That makes a huge difference and impact.”

Although, she acknowledged, “For some native Americans, even with my own peers (they say) ‘It’s a little too late. It took long enough.'”

Perhaps the way forward, she said, is for people to learn about the history and for Native Americans to learn their languages.

“Knowing this pain happened to our people … I think the truth needs to be told,” she told CNS. All Americans need to hear the story.

“If they can take our Native children away, then they should be able to teach their children about it, about the history.”

Trump giving Tudor Dixon 'a good, hard look' days from Michigan primary - Bridge Michigan

hard.indah.link

Rinke, who has put $10 million of his own money into the race, has aired television ads bashing Dixon as the choice of "RINOs," and another comparing himself to Trump as an outsider businessman unafraid to fight Democrats.

Soldano had courted a Trump endorsement through surrogates but last week publicly pleaded with the former president to "stay out" of the primary election, warning the ""the grassroots will be extremely, extremely unhappy" if he endorses "the establishment-backed" candidate.  

The DeVos family of West Michigan endorsed Dixon in late May. She’s also backed by Right to Life of Michigan, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, former Gov. John Engler and state Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, and U.S. Reps. Bill Huizenga and Lisa McClain.

A group of nine-Trump endorsed legislative and congressional candidates on Thursday sent the former president a letter asking him not to work with Besty DeVos because she is backing other GOP candidates in their races. 

"There is a war going on for the soul of the GOP in Michigan, with Trump-endorsed candidates on one side and the establishment DeVos side on the other," they wrote in the letter, posted online by state Senate candidate Mike Detmer of Howell. 

Michigan GOP Co-Chair Meshawn, a Trump loyalist, has also argued DeVos is working against the former president in Michigan.

DeVos responded with her own letter to Trump, according to  Lansing-based MIRS subscription news. She called claims of working against Trump “fake news” people are spreading for “personal gain." 

In the letter, DeVos noted that her family is also supporting some candidates Trump endorsed, including congressional incumbents McClain and John Moolenaar. She urged Trump to join her in supporting Dixon "to make sure" Republicans can defeat Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer this fall. 

Dixon has made education a key plank of her campaign, vowing to stop liberal “indoctrination” in public schools and implement a Devos-backed scholarship program that would help students pay for private schools. 

Betsy DeVos resigned from the Trump administration after Jan. 6 riots, calling Trump’s “rhetoric” a contributing factor in the violent protests. Devos has said she and other cabinet members had discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.

The family knows “that Betsy DeVos and I differ on that,” Dixon told Bridge Michigan last month, standing by Trump despite the DeVos endorsement. 

In tweets following the 2020 contest, Dixon claimed the election was stolen and accused Democrats of "obvious" and "sloppy" voter fraud.

In a May gubernatorial debate, Dixon said she believes Trump won Michigan in 2020 despite his 154,188-vote loss to Democratic President Biden, contradicting findings from former U.S. Attorney General William Barr and the state Senate Oversight Committee, both of whom investigated claims but found no evidence of widespread fraud.

Trump praised Dixon in February, calling her a “very special” candidate when her campaign paid $7,342 to host a fundraiser at his Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida. And when he rallied with supporters in Macomb County in April, Trump called Dixon “fantastic” and “brilliant.”

Despite papal apology, some Native Americans find it hard to forgive - Angelus News

hard.indah.link

The legacy of residential schools has been handed down to today's Native Americans.

Jody Roy's uncle was sexually and physically abused in Canada. Terry Cornell had three family members who never came home from a residential school in the U.S.

So when Pope Francis apologized to Canadian Indigenous for the ways in which many members of the church and of religious communities cooperated in projects of cultural destruction and forced assimilation at residential schools, Native Americans, like many Canadian Indigenous, said forgiveness was hard -- despite their Catholic faith.

"They ripped those children away; they took them out of their hands and arms," said Roy, an Ojibway who serves as director of the St. Kateri Center of Chicago.

"The U.S. government's assimilation policy was nothing short of murder," said Terry Cornell, whose heritage is Irish and Cheyenne Arapahoe. "All it was was a cash grab. The government paid these agencies to kill the Indian inside them."

"The historical trauma is real," Cornell said, adding, "not just from deaths, but from everything that's been done to these people."

Cornell and Roy are on the coordinating team for the Catholic Native Boarding School Accountability and Healing Project, more commonly known as AHP.

Cornell said he believes it would be really hard for many Native Americans to even accept an apology and that, as a Catholic, he struggles internally, even though he believes in the Catholic concept of forgiveness.

He told of visiting his grandmother in Oklahoma and said the enormity of the situation did not really hit him until he was an adult.

"She would start telling stories and then she would break down and cry," Cornell said. And even today, in the United States, "They're finding bodies of young children, as young as 3" at former residential schools. The government owned the schools and contracted with various agencies -- including some religions -- to run them.

"Why has it taken so long for the Catholic Church" or others to acknowledge what happened to Native Americans? he asked. Native Americans "are always at the back of the line. They're almost invisible."

"How do you forgive what's been done to you?" he added.

Roy said her mother was the youngest of 12 siblings and was fortunate that she was one year too young to be taken away. But she did attend day school, which "was just as harsh," Roy told CNS.

She said stories about her uncle were the worst she heard.

"He's been sexually abused, he'd been physically abused and obviously mentally abused" when in residential school from Grades 1-8, she said.

When the Canadian government offered a compensation plan to survivors, he took the minimum. He told his story initially, then authorities came back and wanted to record it. She said he decided "it's not worth the pain and suffering to relive those moments again."

Roy said as her aunt began telling her story, it helped her aunt's healing journey.

"She understands that healing needs to be done from both sides," Roy said. She also acknowledged that people's ancestors did the harm, and people today are "dealing with a lot: They can't believe that our people did this to your people."

Maka Black Elk, another member of the AHP, is an Oglala Lakota and currently leads a truth and healing process for Red Cloud Indian School, a former boarding school in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. He said he understood that Pope Francis' apology provoked a range of emotions, and "it didn't go as far as some people would have liked."

"I think what's really important is that we recognize that, for many survivors and boarders ... many of them needed this," he told CNS. "It's unfortunate that it's taken this long, but it's important to recognize the history that was written .... And for me, that's hopeful."

All of those interviewed said what happens next is important.

Pope Francis can't "snap his fingers and make something happen," said Black Elk. He said he hopes "more and more bishops and more and more Catholics across the world -- and especially in the United States and Canada -- do what the pope is calling them to do." Healing must include steps forward, he said; the pope can call for that, but the churches and people on the ground have to enact it.

Cornell said he hopes that perhaps apologies can lift the burden off the shoulders of survivors. He said he wishes "that I could just take away their pain."

He also said some Native Americans criticize him for sitting on the AHP board with other Catholics, but he thinks, "maybe there's some common ground there."

He believes the U.S. needs a consortium of survivors and tribal leaders to come together and find out "where do they go from here."

Roy said she believes Native Americans need the same kind of apology from the pope in the U.S. "I think it needs to be done on the U.S. soil. That makes a huge difference and impact."

Although, she acknowledged, "For some native Americans, even with my own peers (they say) 'It's a little too late. It took long enough.'"

Perhaps the way forward, she said, is for people to learn about the history and for Native Americans to learn their languages.

"Knowing this pain happened to our people ... I think the truth needs to be told," she told CNS. All Americans need to hear the story.

"If they can take our Native children away, then they should be able to teach their children about it, about the history."

Apple says Mac sales are getting hit hard by supply constraints - The Verge

hard.indah.link

Apple narrowly outperformed Wall Street expectations with its Q3 earnings on Thursday afternoon, reporting a slight year-over-year increase in iPhone revenue and a 12 percent jump for its services division. But elsewhere, the company’s numbers sagged: Mac revenues were down by 10 percent — a drop that CEO Tim Cook attributed to supply chain constraints and unfavorable foreign exchange rates. But it also matches an industry-wide trend of PC sales being on the decline.

Earlier this month, Apple released a redesigned MacBook Air powered by the company’s M2 chip — but that didn’t factor into this quarter’s results. The new Air followed the launch of the upgraded 13-inch MacBook Pro in June. The Mac Studio desktop, Studio Display, M1-powered iPad Air, and the latest iPhone SE went on sale back in March. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has reported that Apple has a “flood” of new products in the pipeline for the fall and extending into 2023.

Wearables revenue was down around 8 percent, while the iPad unit fell by 2 percent. On the whole, Apple still managed to set a June quarter revenue record, taking in $83 billion with earnings per share of $1.20.

For its 2022 lineup of new iPhones, Apple is rumored to be preparing not one but two large, 6.7-inch devices. These will be the iPhone 14 Pro Max and an iPhone 14 model with fewer frills. You can also expect the usual pair of 6.1-inch phones: the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14. The mini-sized iPhone will not be part of this year’s updates. The new phones will feature upgraded cameras, with the top-tier Pro models gaining a faster processor and redesigned, smaller screen cutouts for Face ID and the selfie camera.

Apple is continuing development of its next wave of major software updates for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. iOS / iPadOS 16, macOS Ventura, and other updates are currently in public beta testing ahead of a wide release to all consumers in the fall. The iPhone release will include new lock screen customization capabilities, the option to edit or unsend messages, and more features.

But like other tech giants in recent weeks, Apple plans to slow hiring in the face of a potential economic downturn and recession. Cook told CNBC’s Steve Kovach that Apple will be “deliberate” in bringing on new employees.

Hard Truth Distilling Co. Announces Expansion Plans - BevNET.com

hard.indah.link

NASHVILLE, Ind. Hard Truth Distilling Co., Indiana’s largest destination craft distillery, announced a major expansion that will include several projects, beginning with the construction of its second rackhouse.

Rackhouse No. 2 will be twice the size of Hard Truth’s current rackhouse, tripling storage capacity from 4,000 to 12,000 barrels for its critically acclaimed Sweet Mash Rye and other whiskies.

Hard Truth will also be installing three, new 5,000-gallon fermenters in addition to its current 2,500-gallon fermenters, allowing the distillery to increase its current production rate by more than 800 percent. Along with this expansion, the distillery is transitioning to 24/7 production to keep up with demand.

Work began in late June with projected completion within six months.

Hard Truth Distilling Co., located in the heart of Indiana’s famous Brown County artists’ colony, was founded in 2015. Sales have grown steadily year over year. Then, from 2020 to 2021, sales nearly doubled thanks to increases from existing brands and the introduction of three new products, including Hard Truth Maple Bourbon Cream.

In addition to ongoing sales gains, Hard Truth continues to add new markets. Already in the major markets of Illinois and Florida, Hard Truth products are now available in Texas, including the cities of Dallas, Houston and Austin.

The distillery’s portfolio of award-winning spirits can now be enjoyed in 16 states and in the Bahamas, and according to Jeff McCabe, Hard Truth Co-Founder, market expansion is a priority. “We expect to see our brands in 28 states by 2023,” said McCabe.

Hard Truth’s portfolio of award-winning premium spirits includes Hard Truth Toasted Coconut Rum, Toasted Coconut Rum Cream, Maple Bourbon Cream and Cinnamon Vodka — which has become the best-selling cinnamon vodka in the U.S. Whiskey brands in addition to Hard Truth Sweet Mash Rye, include Indiana Straight Rye Whiskey, the Sipes’ family of bourbon and rye whiskeys, and the Schoonover family of bourbons.

Many distilleries offer tours and tastings, but few sit among 325, explorable, wooded acres in some of the most beautiful countryside in the Midwest. Visitors to Hard Truth can tour the distillery, dine at its 250-seat restaurant, and hop on an ATV with a tour guide to explore the property while learning about the history of distilling.

Hard Truth hosts festivals, health and wellness adventures, mixology classes, and more. The forest-framed Hard Truth on the Rocks terrace and stage area offers live music and special events, a unique terrace food menu, and drinks.

“A key component of our mission at Hard Truth is offering visitors an opportunity to experience this place and our brands, and by doing so, become part of the Hard Truth family,” said McCabe. “We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished in just eight years, and there’s so much more to come.”

About Hard Truth Distilling Co.

Headquartered in Nashville, Indiana, Hard Truth Distilling Co. produces more than 20 premium spirits, including critically acclaimed Hard Truth Sweet Mash Rye Whiskey and top-selling Hard Truth Cinnamon Vodka, Hard Truth Toasted Coconut Rum, and Hard Truth Toasted Coconut Rum Cream.

Hard Truth’s spirits are distributed throughout Indiana and Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine with several new states coming on board in 2022.

Founded in 2015, Hard Truth Distilling Co. quickly outgrew its original production facility, and, by 2017, construction had begun on its current facility, a distillery housed in a 50,000-square-foot building equipped with a state-of-the-art Vendome Copper & Brass distilling system. Hard Truth’s destination campus spans 325 wooded acres in Brown County, Indiana — an artists’ colony and tourist destination known for its natural beauty.

Here Are the Lyrics to Bailey Zimmerman’s ‘Rock and a Hard Place’ - Billboard

hard.indah.link

Bailey Zimmerman’s debuted at No. 2 on Hot Country Songs upon its release in June.

He cut “Rock and a Hard Place” after first hearing one of the song’s co-writers, Heath Warren, perform it on his Instagram page. “When I listen to outside cuts, I’m listening for the very first line,” he told Billboard. “If it doesn’t grab me, I’m like, ‘No.’ But as soon as I heard that on Heath’s Instagram, and I heard the line, ‘Like swinging and missing,’ I knew that I wanted to cut it. It was [in the] perfect key and everything.”

We’ve been swingin’ and missin’
It ain’t broke yet, but damn, it needs fixin’
Been a while since your kiss felt like kissin’
It’s just different

We’ve been talkin’ ’bout forever since we’ve been together
Somethin’ ’bout a ring makes you think we’re better off with
All this but we’re caught in

Between a rock and a hard place
Red wine and mistakes
Tears rollin’ down your face
When I walked out that door
And that’s when I lost it
A midnight in Austin
Damn, I’m exhausted
What the hell’s this all for?
Is this where it mends or it breaks?
Between a rock and a hard place

For the record, shit
Throwin’ in the towel takes some effort
So I’d rather ride it out for better weather
Together

Between a rock and a hard place
Red wine and mistakes
Tears rollin’ down your face
When I walked out that door
And that’s when I lost it
A midnight in Austin
Damn, I’m exhausted
What the hell’s this all for?
Is this where it mends or it breaks?
Between a rock and a hard place

We’ve been talkin’ ’bout forever since we’ve been together
Something ’bout a ring makes you think we’re better off with
All this but we’re caught in

Between a rock and a hard place
Tears rollin’ down your face
As I walked out that door
And that’s when I lost it
Midnight in Austin
Damn, I’m exhausted
What the hell’s this all for?
Is this where it mends or it breaks?
How much more of this can we take?

Popularity of hard cider in New York creating hundreds of jobs - Spectrum News

hard.indah.link

According to a survey done by the New York State Cider Association (NYCA) in 2020, the hard cider industry contributed $1.7 billion in total economic impact, held 6,148 jobs, and generated $520 million in total wages for New York state workers.

Locally, one of the more popular cideries is 1911 in LaFayette. The head cider maker, Yann Fay, who has worked in this position for eight years, said in New York there are approximately 130 cideries when 25 years ago, there were only four or five.

“When I joined this company years ago, we had four people employed at the cider house,” said Fay. “I think now we're just under 20. Whether they're doing production or fermentation, or warehousing or shipping or marketing, there's a lot of jobs that we've added here.”

Fay believes that the popularity of cider increased with the younger generation’s willingness to try new things and it grew with the popularity of craft beer and the wine industry in the Finger Lakes region.  

“Basically, no one knew what cider was 25 years ago, and now it's just under 2% of the beer market in New York state,” said Fay.

Steve Ammerman, director of communications at New York Farm Bureau, said the connection between New York’s apple production and hard cider makes the two flourish.

“It helps provide new markets for our apple growers,” said Ammerman. “It broadens the reach in the marketing efforts for New York apples at the same time, by having so many local producers, so many different varieties, that gives our cider producers more apples to play with, more flavor profiles.”

The process of making hard cider is an extensive process and requires a lot of hands, which allows Beak & Skiff to have a variety of different positions available. 

While there are many jobs in the hard cider industry, the challenges of inflation and labor shortages impact orchards as well.

Labels are put on bottles of sparkling cider. (Emily Kenny/Spectrum News 1)

“They face a lot of other challenges like any other business right now, with inflationary pressures and the cost of labor, it's a concern for farmers in orchards right now, and just finding labor to prune the trees and to harvest the crops,” said Ammerman.

For 1911, the prices of supplies they need for packaging, such as cardboard, Saran wrap, and bottles and cans have increased. Additionally, they must purchase a certain amount for it to be delivered in bulk, Fay explains. 

With the industry continuing to boom, The New York Farm Bureau is in the process of trying to pass state legislation that would allow for both in-state and out-of-state shipment of hard cider. It passed the state Senate this year, but not the Assembly.

Bottles move through to be rinsed and pressurized before being filled with cider. (Emily Kenny/Spectrum News 1)

“It would be one more market opportunity for our cider makers,” said Ammerman. “It would be greater access to customers, in particular, those out of state who may not find a large variety of New York hard cider in their local liquor stores or grocery stores.”

In the end though, the reward of working in the cider business for Fay is watching people enjoy the product.

“The best thing about working here is actually watching people buy the cider, drink it and have fun with it,” she said. “That's really where my pleasure comes from in the industry. It's just watching people have a cider with their friends, laugh and enjoy each other's company.”
