"To everyone affected by the disaster in ******* amoto," Tano tweeted. "Every time I see the news or your posts, my heart aches. The things I can do are truly small, but with the hope of being of even a little help, I've collaborated with a friend living in Hiroshima to send relief supplies such as drinks, powdered sports drinks, sanitary products, diapers, and more. Additionally, I've made a donation of 3 million yen through the ******* anese Red Cross."
In addition, Tano tweeted: "I imagine there are still many people spending anxious times right now. Please, don't push yourselves too hard — prioritize your own life and health, and that of your loved ones above all. From the bottom of my heart, I wish for the day when you can return to a daily life where you can sleep peacefully, even if just a little sooner. Though my efforts are modest, I will continue to provide whatever support I can moving forward."
The post received a lot of positive reactions and criticism regarding the source of the donation. One reply that circulated widely read, "It's dirty money, but thanks."

Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) raised its quarterly dividend 3% in April to $1.0885 per share, marking its 70th consecutive year of dividend increases. Only five other publicly traded companies have raised their payouts for that many years in a row.
The streak is even more remarkable when you zoom out. P&G has paid a dividend every year since its incorporation in 1890 -- 136 straight years. And the payments are enormous in absolute terms, too. The company behind Tide, Pampers, and Gillette expects to pay around $10 billion in dividends in fiscal 2026, plus roughly $5 billion in share repurchases on top of it.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
A streak like this is only possible because of what P&G sells. Detergent, diapers, razors, and paper towels get bought in good economies and bad ones, and the company's latest results show that durability at work. In its fiscal 2026 third quarter (the period ended March 31), P&G's organic sales, which exclude currency moves, acquisitions, and divestitures, grew 3% year over year, and core earnings per share rose 3% to $1.59. Management also maintained its full-year outlook even while absorbing tariff-related costs.
With shares trading near $148, P&G stock yields about 2.9% as of this writing. The payout consumes about 63% of the company's earnings over the past 12 months, a level that leaves room for the increases to continue. And the valuation looks arguably reasonable, too. Shares trade at about 21 times earnings -- not a bargain, but hardly a demanding price for a business this durable.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The fatal shooting of a 1-year-old boy by police who were responding to a shoplifting call this week has ignited simmering tensions between police and Black residents in the small town of Senatobia, Mississippi.
The death of Kohen Wiley is the latest in a series of troubling encounters with police that have outraged community members in recent years. It has led to protests and calls for greater police accountability in the town of 8,000, with some civil rights activists pointing to Kohen's death as another example of a Black life lost over something of nominal value — in this case, allegedly stolen diapers.
"We are treating items on a shelf as more valuable than a child," Bernice King, the daughter of civil right icon Martin Luther King, Jr., said in a statement posted to Instagram on Wednesday. "That is not just bad policing; it is a moral collapse."
There are still many unanswered questions about the shooting and what led up to it.
Senatobia police responded to the shoplifting call at a local Walmart on Sunday, where they found two women and a child leaving the store, getting into a car and driving away. According to a statement released by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation: "Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver drove in the direction of the officers, almost striking one. An officer then discharged their weapon and the vehicle fled the scene."

ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine (AP) — When Marharyta Nekhoroshyva first saw her newborn son, she was gripped by fear. Born after just 26 weeks of pregnancy, he weighed only 940 grams (2 pounds) and wore diapers no larger than the palm of an adult hand.
"The doctors told me that if he survived the first three days, everything would be OK," she said, tears filling her eyes. "I don't believe in God, but I was praying."
Now 9 months old, Mark is energetic and lively, but he has chronic breathing problems and requires frequent hospital stays.
Nekhoroshyva must navigate her son's illness while living under the constant threat of attack in the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, where hospitals board up their windows because blast waves from Russian strikes routinely shatter glass. She is doing it alone while her husband fights in the war.
A rising number of babies are being born prematurely — before 37 weeks of pregnancy — in Ukraine, particularly in regions near the front lines, where some areas have seen rates nearly double since the conflict started with Russia's invasion in 2022.

PHOENIX — Former Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes, who signed the richest contract in Arizona Diamondbacks history, was scheduled to begin his rehab ******* ignment Friday and return to the Diamondbacks in July for the first time in 13 months.
The plan was to step into the rotation, be there for the pennant stretch, and lead the Diamondbacks back into the postseason with perhaps a deep October run.
Instead, there he was Thursday, talking about changing diapers and making his kids’ lunch at home for another two months, hoping he can just return by the end of the season for his sanity.
Burnes, who signed a six-year, $210 million contract, had his Tommy John surgery recovery paused for at least another two months after an MRI revealed that he has a teres major/lat strain in his right shoulder.
“It's obviously frustrating,’’ Burnes said. “Your team’s playing good baseball, you want to get back and have as much of an impact as you can. … It's tough to have put in work for 11 months and you're a little over a month away from being back. It sucks.’’
