NEW ON STREAMING
Now streaming on Amazon Prime, the British series "The Outlaws" offers Christopher Walken a memorable and exceptionally well-written role. Every member of this ensemble cast has great lines, courtesy of writer Stephen Merchant, who also stars. A co-creator of the original version of "The Office," Merchant's come up with a laugh-out-loud absurdist parody of a crime drama.
Walken plays Frank, an aging ex-con who lives with his daughter and reports to community service every day. The first half-hour is funny and sharp, but the show then transforms into a crime thriller complete with dire consequences. Either way, Merchant quickly establishes a group of characters worth caring about.

UMass President Marty Meehan said universities have an obligation to preserve the democratic principles on which they are based, adding he has never felt democracy is more threatened.
In his State of the University speech to students, faculty, staff and alumni, Meehan said universities have a “special obligation to ensure that the very democratic principles upon which we were founded are preserved for future generations.”
“Why is it important to remind ourselves of that now?” he added Tuesday. “Because never in my life…have I felt that democracy was more threatened by interconnected forces:
- Political polarization, exacerbated by social media echo chambers;
- Disinformation and misinformation, intended to further divide us;
- Declining media literacy, exploited by extreme partisans;
- An anti-science movement, sparked by climate deniers and accelerated by COVID-19 conspiracy theorists;
- Political violence, defended and normalized, even inside the walls of the U.S. Capitol;
- And of course, the democratic country of Ukraine, invaded and under attack by Russia … presumably because of its embrace of western democratic ideals.”
“I am encouraged and emboldened by UMass students,” said Meehan, who praised the UMass community for its resilience throughout the two-year global pandemic, Meehan said.
The student experience on UMass campuses is “as close to normal as it has been in over two years,” he said.
Nevertheless, Meehan said, he has made mental healthy a priority in the university’s state budget request, and he has asked system and campus leadership to expand access to counseling and well-being, mindfulness and peer-support programming.
The university, he added, has emerged from the pandemic on sound financial footing. Its endowment now stands at $1.2 billion, a quarter of which directly supports financial aid for students.
“We are also becoming more diverse with 40% of our undergraduates now students of color,” Meehan said.
Last year, one in five bachelor’s degrees awarded in the state was from a UMass campus, he said, and the university launched UMass Global, “which will expand online education opportunities for adult learners.”
UMass also wants to create early college opportunities for Massachusetts high school students, which will lower the cost of college for them.

Hollie Phillips fires in goal for South Warrnambool
Gun South Warrnambool recruit Hollie Phillips has quickly made a name for herself in her first game in red and white.
Crossing from Hamilton over the off-season, Phillips drained the first five goals against Cobden to set her side up with an early lead.
Phillips went on to score 47 of the Roosters' 52 goals in an 11-goal win over the Bombers and said the contest against Cobden was "definitely physical".
She praised her teammates' ability to put its pre-season training into action and said the partnership between herself and captain and goal attack Annie Blackburn had quickly blossomed.
"Annie's been great," Phillips said. "Because she has more experience than me, she guides me in the ring.
"Having that extra person to lean on has definitely been a helping hand."

South coach Will Jamison said he was thrilled by his entire team's performance in its opening game.
"We stuck to our structures and our game plan for probably 50 of the 60 minutes," he said.
The Roosters ran out to its match-winning 11-goal lead by half time, with centre Meg Kelson and wing attack Isabella Rea finding plenty of space to feed into Blackburn and Phillips.
"I've been really happy with the cohesion of the attacking end," Jamison said. "It can be difficult when you have a new player coming in, particularly in goal shooter.
"But I thought we found (Hollie) really well under the post, she worked really well with Annie in the goal circle, and our feeders worked off reading her and finding her as well."
On the defensive end, Jamison said he was impressed by Ally Mellblom, Carly Watson and Mali Baillie's ability to be "intense while remaining disciplined."
"We pressured a lot of balls but always remained in play and that is something we've been working on," he said.

Cobden coach Sophie Hinkley said a loss in round one wasn't necessarily a bad thing for her group.
"Last year we were undefeated and we worked through lots of things, but it didn't give us those growth opportunities," she said.
"To be able to look at these times when there is gaps in what we're doing. It was a positive in the way. We had lots of things that worked, especially our defence.
"But we weren't having those times where we were as mentally fit to make those right decisions against a quality opposition."
She said she was pleased her side fought back and posted an even second half with South while winning the final quarter.
"We had some things that didn't go our way early on in the game, but we were able to adapt and make some changes and they worked well," Hinkley said of shifting Remeny McCann and Sophie Moroney between defensive postings and Alicia and Sophie Blain in wing attack and centre.
Hinkley, who is on maternity leave and coaching from the side-lines this season, said she missed being out on court but had "every faith" in the players to "get it done" come round two against Port Fairy.

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s hard to find anyone on board with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to toughen the state’s bail laws, two years after they were retooled to keep people from being jailed because they are poor.
Reform advocates say the system should be left alone. Police leaders and even some of the governor's fellow Democrats say the proposal doesn’t go far enough to roll back what they consider soft treatment of criminals.
The debate over bail in New York is emblematic of a fight taking place elsewhere in the U.S.
A spike in violence during the COVID-19 pandemic has Democrats eager to show they’re tough on crime ahead of this year’s midterm elections, from the White House on down, but the party is struggling to find a common message with progressives pushing the need for police reform and moderates focusing instead on rising crime rates.
Hochul’s attempt to stake out a middle ground has provoked criticism from all points of the political spectrum.
“I think that’s a sign that you’re in the right place,” she said of her plan in March. The proposal would continue to limit instances in which people would be required to post bail, but make more crimes eligible for detention and give judges more discretion to consider a defendant’s criminal history.
New York changed its bail laws in response to public outcry over prisoners accused of minor crimes being held in jail for extended periods while awaiting trial because they couldn't afford to pay bail — a system where a person puts up cash as a guarantee that they will return to court.
The state's answer was to eliminate cash bail for many nonviolent offenses — a reform that frustrated some law enforcement officials who warned that people released back to the streets would commit new crimes.
But with violent crime up across America, crime rates have been an easy target and longstanding bogeyman for Republicans, who have wasted no opportunity to make it a campaign issue in races around the U.S., including governor’s races in Illinois, Pennsylvania and elsewhere.
Democrats, bracing for tough midterm elections, are eager to prove they're responding, in some cases emphasizing efforts to provide more money to police departments while making scant mention of reforms they embraced a few years ago.
In Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz is up for reelection and has been touring the state promoting his $300 million public safety plan. He has not focused on the reform measures he signed after police killed George Floyd in the state almost two years ago.
Wisconsin's Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who is also running for reelection this year, has been hammered by Republicans over crime and like Hochul, is facing bipartisan pressure to toughen bail laws.
A record-setting spate of homicides in Albuquerque has ratcheted up pressure on New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, including from some fellow Democrats. The first-term governor has joined efforts to ban pretrial release for certain violent crimes, though some legislators in her own party have balked at rolling back reforms that largely ended money bail.
President Joe Biden in his budget this week highlighted funding for police — for body cameras, crime prevention strategies, drug treatment, mental health and criminal justice reform.
This winter, he made a trip to New York City to stand with the city’s new mayor, Eric Adams, a former police captain.
“The answer is not to defund the police,” Biden said. “It is to give you the tools, the training, the funding to be partners, to be protectors and know the community.”
In comparison, while campaigning for president, Biden instead spoke more about criminal justice reforms and the need to reverse some of the toughest measures of the 1994 crime bill he helped write.
In New York, the fierce debate over bail has been one factor that caused legislators to miss an April 1 deadline to pass a new state budget.
Hochul initially said she didn’t want to touch the state’s bail laws until she saw data indicating the reforms were responsible for a crime spike. Democrats who control the state Legislature likewise said they were uninterested in unwinding reforms.
A recent report from New York City's fiscal watchdog found that the percentage of people who committed new crimes after being released from jail hasn't budged since the bail reform measure passed.
But now, some Democrats have joined Republicans in calling for a repeal. They include U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi of Long Island, who is challenging Hochul in the governor's race; Adams, who has made cracking down on crime in New York City a top priority; and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has started criticizing the bail reforms he signed as he contemplates running for office again.
At some point in recent weeks, Hochul changed her mind and drafted a plan to tweak the law. She avoided talking about it publicly, though, for days after it leaked to the media.
Nearly a week later, Hochul defended the plan in an op-ed, saying that while the state's bail laws were not the main cause of a rise in shootings during the pandemic, they needed to be changed.
Democrat Jumaane Williams, New York City’s public advocate who is also challenging Hochul in the governor's race, said the governor “should show courage and leadership on this issue, or at the very least pick a side between fearmongering and facts.”
It's unclear if Democrats controlling the statehouse will meet the governor somewhere in the middle as they continue negotiating, but the pressure has ratcheted up in recent days.
New York City's police commissioner visited Albany to press for reforms. Defenders of the current law were arrested for demonstrating outside the governor's office and one lawmaker, Democratic Assembly Member Latrice Walker of Brooklyn, was on day nine Thursday of a hunger strike to protest any rollbacks as negotiations continued.

Hideki Matsuyama relishing Masters defence but admits to dinner speech nerves
Successfully defending the Masters is so difficult that just three players have done it, namely Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods.
Hideki Matsuyama hopes be the latest to attempt to join that illustrious trio in the history books after recovering from a back injury in time to take his place in the field at Augusta National – but further doubt over his participation came after he withdrew from the Valero Texas Open on Friday with a neck problem.
If fit, Matsuyama has one more hurdle to overcome before he can fully focus on his title defence, with the prospect of making a speech at the traditional Champions Dinner weighing heavily on the Japanese star’s mind.
“Of course I’m looking forward to returning to Augusta National as the defending champion,” Matsuyama said.
“Looking forward to it is one way to put it; another one is I really hope I play well. There’s some expectations from myself, whether it’s pressure or not. But I am looking forward to it and also at the same time trying to prepare the best I can.
“The same with the Champions Dinner. I don’t speak English very well and so it’s kind of a two-sided coin.
“I’m looking forward to it, of course, to be with all those great past Masters champions, but at the same time very nervous about the speech I will be giving.”
Public speaking is not high on the list of Matsuyama’s favourite activities and he has previously made it clear that speaking to the media is something to be tolerated rather than enjoyed.
However, speaking through his interpreter and right-hand man Bob Turner on a teleconference ahead of his title defence, Matsuyama was happy to look back on his historic victory 12 months ago, when he became the first male Japanese player to win a major title.
“Being the first Japanese to win a major, and especially the Masters, has made me really happy,” the 30-year-old said.
“How it’s changed my life is a good question. I haven’t really figured that out yet. I know I’m a happier person. I’ve also noticed people have received me differently. It’s been a wonderful experience.
“If that’s changed my life, I don’t know. But that’s really the one impression that I’ve had this past year is how warmly people have embraced me and received me and cheered me on.”
A third round of 65 meant Matsuyama took a four-shot lead into the final round last year, but that was reduced to a single stroke within a matter of minutes as he bogeyed the opening hole after Will Zalatoris had birdied the first and second.
Birdies on the second, eighth and ninth restored Matsuyama’s healthy lead but as Zalatoris fell away, Xander Schauffele closed to within two shots following four straight birdies from the 12th, only to bogey the 16th.
Matsuyama had the luxury of dropping shots on the 16th and 18th and still finishing a shot ahead of Zalatoris, with the magnitude of his achievement evident in his emotional reaction.
“Those tears, it wasn’t because I won,” Matsuyama said. “Walking up after the 18th green, I saw all my team and they were all crying, and I think that’s probably what started me crying, too.
“But it was really cool to be able to share that with my team. The feeling of ‘we finally did it’. That was the reason why those tears were falling down all of our cheeks.”
That was not the only image from the final round to go viral, Matsuyama’s caddie Shota Hayafuji making headlines for taking the flag from the 18th hole as a memento before turning to face the fairway, removing his cap and bowing as a mark of respect.
“I didn’t see it in person, but I did see it on TV and I thought it was something very special,” Matsuyama added.
“I’m glad that Shota did it. It’s a sign of respect, not only to the Masters tournament but Augusta National. I never really thought it would receive the attention that it has generated.”

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — A court in Honduras authorized prosecutors Friday to seize properties, bank accounts and vehicles linked to former President Juan Orlando Hernández.
Court spokeswoman Bárbara Castillo said that includes 30 properties, 80 accounts and 16 vehicles.
The preliminary seizure is for one year, but can be extended. Eventually, the properties could be permanently seized and turned over to the government. They are in the names of 11 people linked to Hernández.
Earlier this week, Honduras’ Supreme Court approved the extradition of Hernández to the United States to face drug trafficking and weapons charges. .
Hernández’s wife, former first lady Ana García, made public a letter in which the former president again asserts his innocence and claims to be the victim of “revenge and conspiracy.”
“In the end I realize there is the possibility facing three life sentences, which could become a living death for me,” wrote Hernández, who left office in January at the conclusion of his second term.
Earlier this month a judge decided to grant the U.S. extradition request, and apparently all that remains to be done is the paperwork.
U.S. prosecutors in the Southern District of New York have accused Hernández in recent years of funding his political rise with profits from drug traffickers in exchange for protecting their shipments. He has strongly denied any wrongdoing.
Hernández has maintained that statements against him have been made by drug traffickers extradited by his government who wanted to seek revenge against him. He denies having any ties to drug traffickers.
Hernández was arrested at his home Feb. 15 at the request of the U.S. government.
The arrest came less than three weeks after he left office and followed years of allegations by U.S. prosecutors of his alleged links to drug traffickers. His brother, Juan Antonio “Tony” Hernández, was sentenced to life in a U.S. prison on drug and weapons charges in March 2021.
After his arrest, the former president was led before cameras flanked by police, shackled at the wrists and ankles, and wearing a bulletproof jacket.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska voters will elect a new member of Congress on the same day a judge in California is scheduled to sentence the Republican who resigned from the position to a possible federal prison sentence.
Gov. Pete Ricketts said Friday the special election June 28 will replace former Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, who resigned days after his conviction for lying to federal authorities about an illegal campaign donation.
That’s the same day a federal judge in Los Angeles is scheduled to sentence Fortenberry, who was convicted March 24 of concealing information and two counts of making false statements to authorities. Each count carries a potential five-year prison sentence and fines.
The conviction of Fortenberry marked the first time in 20 years that a sitting member of Congress was found guilty of a felony.
Besides the oddity of an election and sentencing being scheduled for the same day, the special election also creates a highly unusual situation in Nebraska as the state will hold three elections in one year.
The statewide primary election is scheduled for May 10, when Republican and Democratic voters will choose their nominees to fill Fortenberry’s seat after the end of his current term. Fortenberry’s name will still appear on the GOP ballot, even though he is no longer running.
On June 28, voters will decide who will take Fortenberry’s seat for what would have been the rest of his current term. The Republican and Democratic nominees for that election will be chosen by each party’s leaders.
Nebraska will then hold its regular general election in November 2022, when the winners of the May 10 primary will face off to determine who will take the seat starting in January 2023.
Nebraska state Sen. Mike Flood, of Norfolk, is by far the best-known and best-funded candidate in the Republican primary race, and he has won support from Ricketts and former Gov. Dave Heineman. The other Republican candidates are Curtis Huffman, of La Vista; Thireena Yuki Connely, of Palmyra; and John Glen Weaver, of Omaha.
Nebraska state Sen. Patty Pansing Brooks, of Lincoln, is the best-known contender in the Democratic primary contest. The other Democratic candidate is University of Nebraska-Lincoln student Jazari Kual Zakaria.
The charges against Fortenberry stemmed from his acceptance of an illegal $30,000 contribution to his campaign from a foreign billionaire in 2016.
The trial was the first of a sitting congressman since Rep. Jim Traficant, D-Ohio, was convicted of bribery and other felony charges in 2002.
Fortenberry represented Nebraska’s 1st Congressional District, a Republican-leaning district in the eastern part of the state that includes Lincoln, home to the University of Nebraska.
Nebraska Secretary of State Bob Evnen said the parties have until April 22 to submit their candidates for the special election.

DETROIT, April 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting Monday, April 4, 2022, Graham Media Group stations KPRC-TV (Houston) and WDIV-TV (Detroit) will launch an additional hour of their morning local newscast streaming exclusively on digital platforms and OTT apps.
KPRC-TV's morning newscast will stream from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. on KPRC2+, and will feature the morning news team of Owen Conflenti, Lisa Hernandez, meteorologist Anthony Yanez and Anavid Reyes following rush hour traffic. Amy Davis and Anavid Reyes will expand their consumer and transit stories to include angles not covered on broadcast, and the hour will feature live guests to give depth and perspective on the big stories of the day.
WDIV-TV's morning newscast will stream from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. on Local4+, and will feature the morning news team of Rhonda Walker, Evrod Cassimy, meteorologist Brandon Roux, traffic reporter Kim DeGiulio and reporter Nick Monacelli and will feature live guests, the day's top stories, weather and traffic reports from across Metro Detroit. WDIV added a 10 p.m. nightly newscast streaming exclusively on Local4+ earlier this year.
"We've reimagined our streaming news products to meet the needs of our viewers. They've clearly told us they want more local news from the brands they trust most and we're providing that with our original news programs on Local4+," said Bob Ellis, WDIV Vice President and General Manger. "The streaming numbers on our app continue to grow rapidly and we're committed to serving these new audiences now and in the weeks and months ahead with much more quality content coming."
KPRC2+ and Local4+ television apps are available for free download in the Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Google TV app stores. The livestreams also can be viewed on the stations' mobile apps and online at Click2Houston.com and ClickOnDetroit.com, respectively.
Additionally, Graham Media Group stations continue to innovate in streaming local news beyond broadcast. Earlier this year, KSAT-TV (San Antonio) launched a daily 11 a.m. digital stream exclusive newscast, "KSAT News Now", and "KSAT Explains", a weekly deep-dive news feature program available on KSAT Plus; and WSLS-TV (Roanoke) launched "The Sprint", a daily digital-only news brief. WKMG-TV (Orlando) has pioneered a "Choose Your View" director's chair digital stream for coverage of space launches from Kennedy Space Center and with 25 live cameras covering the Orlando 4th of July Fireworks in 2021. WJXT-TV (Jacksonville) debuted the "Choose Your View" stream in covering the implosion of a downtown skyscraper in March.
Other Graham Media Group digital-first productions currently streaming on each stations' OTT apps include "Solutionaries" (SolutionariesNetwork.com), a monthly solutions journalism-focused program highlighting local people working to find solutions to challenging issues from affordable housing and inflation, to climate concerns and police reform; and "Something Good" (SomethingGood.show), an ongoing series of positive news and the good works of people living in the community.

Deep dive into town that spurred Romantic movement
In “Jena 1800,” German poet and philosophy professor Peter Neumann beautifully captures the special moment when, guided by Goethe and inspired by Kant, the young philosophers Fichte, Hegel and Schelling, poets Schiller and Novalis, brothers Fritz and Wilhelm Schlegel and their wives Dorothea and Caroline all lived in the same small university town, Jena, at the same time, and tried to remake the world.
In many ways, Romanticism was an intellectual counter-revolution to the Enlightenment. By 1790, the pure reason promoted by French philosophers led to the bloody Terror, and when Napoleon ended the revolution, the center of European thought moved into the Germanic states of the Holy Roman Empire, and to Jena in particular.
Being a literary artist himself, Neumann tells this story so much like a novel that I often forgot it wasn’t. With a sweeping style, he charmingly animates the atmosphere of Jena, with its lecture halls, living rooms and Saale River. Yet he focuses on relationships, the alliances and rivalries of friends and lovers. But if you’re going to put words in your subjects’ heads, why not actually write a novel?
— Randy Rosenthal, Star Tribune
Magic, kindness to heal divided community
Two years into the coronavirus pandemic, at a time when local government meetings descend into shouting matches and teachers and public servants face threats on the job, some writers for young readers have taken up the question of repair.
What would it mean to restore a sense of community? To repair our civic life? To pull us out of this fractious and dangerous chasm that seems to widen by the week?
That question animates Minneapolis writer Kelly Barnhill’s new middle-grade novel, “The Ogress and the Orphans.”
The town of Stone-in-the-Glen was once a marvel. Its streets were lined with fruit trees, its civic life vibrant, its residents quick to help anyone in need.
But then a terrible fire destroyed the town’s library. Not long after, the town’s school also burned down, families began to flee and others began to hoard what little they had left.
At the heart of the novel is a question of good: neighborly good, civic good, the nature of good itself. Is good innate? Or does good depend on actions? And what if your actions overlook those you are helping?
— Trisha Collopy, Star Tribune
Murder story told through multiple voices
“Ocean State” is the story of a murder, but it wouldn’t be right to call it a mystery, because the killer’s identity is established in the very first sentence. Even as he inverts the form, veteran novelist Stewart O’Nan effectively keeps you turning the pages quickly with this tragic story of teenage love.
Set in a working-class town on the coast of Rhode Island, “Ocean State” starts with Marie, who’s looking back a decade to 2009. “When I was in eighth grade my sister helped kill another girl,” Marie says, before quickly filling in the other pertinent details.
The book goes on to shift narrators; and it should be mentioned that the sections of the story narrated by the murder victim, Birdy, gather an almost excruciating tension as she approaches her inevitable fate. O’Nan makes her much more than a simple plot device, and it’s what elevates the story to more than just a page-turner.
As the story speeds toward its resolution, it’s hard to not feel frustrated at points with the almost casual way the murderers face the consequences — or don’t — of the crime they committed.
— Patrick Condon, Star Tribune

Caleb’s Prayer Foundation will be hosting its 12th annual car show on May 22 at Phillips Auto Group of Bradley, 1400 Locke Drive, Bourbonnais.
The event supports the Foundation’s purpose of helping families in Kankakee and Iroquois counties who are going through cancer treatment.
From 9 to 11 a.m., show cars can begin registration and display. Registration fee for show cars is $20. At noon, spectators can enter for free. Food will be made on-site and will be available for purchase. At 3 p.m., trophies will be awarded. The rain date is June 5.
Caleb’s Prayer Foundation was formed to honor the memory of Caleb Hoggins. Caleb died on May 12, 2014, at the age of 15, following a battle with cancer (his second cancer diagnosis).
Caleb was known for his infectious laughter. He was a loving and caring young man who looked out for others. He loved to build with Legos, listen to music from the 80’s and hang out with family and friends.
A freshman at Central High School in Clifton, he dreamed of becoming a chef.
The Caleb’s Prayer Foundation is a 501c3 charity organization. Since its formation, the CPF has donated over $66,795 to local families impacted by cancer. The money has been used to:
• Purchase new furniture for a family whose son had just been diagnosed with cancer to replace furniture that was damaged with mold in the flooding in the spring of 2015.
• Pay utilities for a family whose only caregiver had to be in the hospital with her son who was also battling cancer. He has since passed.
• Aid in the funeral/burial expenses of a mother who lost her battle to cancer
• Aid a family in building memories whose daughter was in her final stages of cancer. That family now is learning how to live without her beautiful smile.
• Aid a family when the father lost his battle with cancer. The mom also battled cancer.
• Aid a family whose son was battling cancer for the third time. He has since passed.

EPL: Ten Hag’s release clause at Ajax revealed amid Man Utd links
It will cost Manchester United less than £2 million to bring in Erik ten Hag from Ajax, the UK Mirror reports.
United initially thought they needed to pay the Dutch club just under £5m as compensation for the final 12 months of Ten Hag’s contract.
But it has now been revealed the 52-year-old has a get-out clause in the deal he signed a year ago and that it can be triggered for just €2m (£1.68m).
That will represent a bargain for United, even though Paris St Germain are unlikely to demand compensation for Mauricio Pochettino should the Argentine want to walk away at the end of the season.
It will cost the PSG around £17m to sack Pochettino and his backroom staff.
Both Ten Hag and Pochettino are the major frontrunners to be named United’s next permanent manager.

There have been record numbers of new investors entering the market in the past two years, fueled by a variety of factors, not least of which is the greater ease and lower cost of doing so.
According to a recent survey by Investing.com, 86% of new investors in 2021 plan to increase their stock holdings in 2022, not scared off by the fact the market has been down sharply since last November.
Not overreacting to market volatility is indeed a good lesson already learned. The market downturn has brought down valuations of many high-quality companies, making it a good time to buy. Given the fact most new investors are younger and unafraid to take more risky positions, according to the survey, there's one exchange-traded fund in particular that jumps out as a great option for new investors -- the Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF (NYSEMKT: FTEC).
Investing in a broad swath of the IT market
The Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF is not a small fund by any stretch of the imagination with some $6.4 billion in net assets. But it's far less popular than its larger rivals, the Vanguard Information Technology ETF and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund, which are each hovering around $50 billion in assets. All three are great funds, but let's look at why the Fidelity fund may be the best option for a new investor.
The Fidelity ETF tracks the MSCI USA IMI Information Technology 25/50 Index, one of the broadest benchmarks used for technology-sector ETFs. The IMI in the index's name stands for "investable market index," which means it draws from the entire universe of IT -- large, mid, and small-cap names. Then, it applies certain limits and screens to ensure diversification. The result is a fund that holds about 367 stocks, including software companies, information technology firms, and technology hardware and equipment companies.
However, it does not include three notable names -- Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Alphabet -- as they are categorized as communication services or retailers. But it does include Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia -- its three largest holdings.
Why this ETF stands out for new investors
There are a few primary reasons why this ETF stands out for new investors. It invests in a sector that has produced some of the best long-term returns on the market: technology. If you're a new investor and have a long time horizon for your holdings, you can afford to be more aggressive and invest in a sector that may have more short-term volatility (see the current market) but typically produces excellent long-term returns.
This ETF, which launched in 2013, has returned 21.9% per year since its inception, as of Feb. 28. Over the last five years, it has returned 25.5% on an annualized basis. And in the past 12 months, as of March 31, it's up 18.2%, despite shedding over 9% year to date. Those are very good results, among the best in its category, comparable to its aforementioned larger brethren.
Another reason to like it compared to other technology-focused ETFs is its broad diversification within the sector, which gives it a lower standard deviation -- a measure of performance volatility -- than many of its competitors.
The two other factors are its expenses and its price. The Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF has the lowest expense ratio in its class, just 0.08%. That means the investor pays just $0.80 per year for every $1,000 invested.
Finally, the ETF is currently priced at about $123 per share, which is among the lowest in its class. If you're a new investor and don't have a ton of capital to invest, you may find this price level more accessible while still enjoying strong performance at a low cost.
10 stocks we like better than Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF
When our award-winning analyst team has a stock tip, it can pay to listen. After all, the newsletter they have run for over a decade, Motley Fool Stock Advisor, has tripled the market.*
They just revealed what they believe are the ten best stocks for investors to buy right now... and Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF wasn't one of them! That's right -- they think these 10 stocks are even better buys.

Which coffee protein shake is best?
Nearly every American can appreciate a morning or afternoon pick-me-up from a great cup of coffee. And any gym-goer knows the value of a good protein shake for meeting their fitness goals. What if you could combine those two things into one delicious beverage?
Well, now you can with these flavorful coffee protein shakes. Packed with all the goodness of a quality protein shake and the caffeine from coffee, these shakes give a little extra get up and go and long-lasting energy. These shakes also assist with packing on additional lean muscle mass when paired with an effective workout routine.
While there are many good options to choose from, the OWYN Cold Brew Coffee Vegan Plant-Based Protein Shake stands head and shoulders above most others. In addition to being free of any animal products, it is also free of most common allergens, including soy, gluten, nuts and dairy, so pretty much anyone can drink it.
What to know before you buy a coffee protein shake
Dietary restrictions
If you are dealing with dietary restrictions, you know just how difficult it can be to find foods that fit your needs. Thankfully, you likely won’t have this issue with coffee protein shakes. Whether you follow a vegan or keto lifestyle or are sensitive to dairy, soy, gluten or just about any other ingredient, you can find a coffee protein shake that conforms to your dietary needs. There are also non-GMO and certified organic options.
Protein source
You can find protein in most foods naturally, creating ample sources for protein shakes. Whey and casein are two of the most popular because they are affordable and easily consumed by the body. If your dietary restrictions prevent you from having whey or casein, since these both come from dairy, you can opt for a shake made from eggs or beef. If you are vegan, you can find protein shakes made from various plant protein sources, such as brown rice, peas, soy, hemp and more. Every protein source has its own pros and cons.
Protein shakes vs. protein powders
Protein shakes and protein powders serve the same need, adding more protein to your diet. However, each offers its own benefits. Premade protein shakes are the most convenient since you don’t have to worry about mixing powder manually into the liquid yourself. This can not only be messy but could result in leftover clumps of unmixed powder floating around in your beverage that are unpleasant to drink. Premade protein shakes are also easy to store in a fridge, so they are nice and cold when you are ready to drink them.
The main benefit of protein powders is affordability. Some protein powders cost as little as 50 cents per serving. That is significant savings compared to premade shakes that often cost $1.50-$3.50 per serving.
What to look for in a quality coffee protein shake
Protein
When choosing a coffee protein shake, it is vital to pick one that offers the right protein amount to help you meet your goals. Some shakes have as little as 12 grams of protein per serving, while others have up to 32 grams. For the average person looking to pack on some extra lean muscle mass at the gym, a shake with 20 to 25 grams of protein is ideal. If you are a bodybuilder or someone who spends a lot of extra time at the gym trying to bulk up, you’ll want a shake with 30 or more grams of protein. If you don’t work out often and are worried that you don’t get enough protein in your diet, then a shake with 12 to 15 grams of protein is probably perfect.
Other nutritional values
Along with the amount of protein, pay close attention to the rest of the nutritional values in a shake to ensure it meets your dietary needs. They can vary significantly from one to another. For example, you can find shakes with 100 calories, 2 grams of fat and 0 grams of carbohydrates, or 250 calories, 10 grams of fat and 7 grams of carbohydrates. The latter will provide you with more energy but could make it hard to meet your fitness goals if you want to slim down. These are just a couple of examples and by no means representative of the highest or lowest nutritional value profiles.
Added nutrients
Many protein shakes feature nutrients to help give you more energy, stay more alert, aid digestion or keep you healthier. These may include vitamins, minerals, fiber, amino acids and superfood blends.
How much you can expect to spend on a coffee protein shake
Most coffee protein shakes cost between $1.25-$3.50 per serving.
Coffee protein shake FAQ
Can I use a coffee protein shake as a meal replacement?
A. You can use any coffee protein shake as a meal replacement in a pinch, but if you plan on doing this regularly, it is best to purchase a meal replacement shake. These contain more calories, fats and carbohydrates than standard protein shakes. They also tend to have more added vitamins and minerals, as well as a more varied nutrient profile.
Should I drink my protein shake before or after the gym?
A. Despite there being a lot of debate among gym-goers over whether it is best to drink your protein shake before or after the gym, studies show there is no meaningful difference in results whether you drink it before or after your workout.

H&M’s Latest Look Is Hard on Investors
Heavy investment in technology at the Swedish clothing retailer won’t match well with lower growth in Europe and China
H&M’s HM.B 3.49% scanty profit shows the high price of investing for growth. Now, a costlier supply chain, weaker consumer demand and war in Ukraine all threaten returns on that cash.
Shares in the Swedish fast-fashion chain fell 10% in European morning trading after it reported a pretax profit for the three months through February that was less than half what analysts expected. After several years of spending heavily on e-commerce technology to catch up with Zara’s Spanish owner Inditex, H&M still needs to invest more in its supply chain and sustainability initiatives.
H&M’s long supply chains, which allow it to produce in low-cost Asian countries and ship goods to markets across the world, used to give it a competitive edge. But it is becoming less reliable and more expensive to run. Sea-freight contract rates for large shippers are around five times more expensive today than before the pandemic, according to data provider eeSea. The fashion brand is carrying more inventory than it would like until disruptions ease. H&M’s inventory-to-sales ratio was 19% in the quarter, a figure it wants to get down to 12% to 14% longer term.
H&M’s operating costs increased almost a fifth, partly due to technology investments that should help to link its website to the brand’s physical stores and other initiatives. And to meet its sustainability goals, H&M needs to invest in renewable energy and fabrics that are less harmful to the environment, such as recycled polyester, all of which pushes up production costs.
This would be more manageable if consumer spending were strong. However, after increasing sales 18% year-over-year in the three months through February, growth slowed to 6% in March. This may be an early sign that shoppers are cutting back on fashion purchases as inflation hits disposable incomes.
True, H&M stopped selling its goods in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine because of the war. Russia was one of the company’s fastest-growing markets and generated 4% of group sales. But sales slowed markedly in March even stripping out the conflict’s impact.
H&M wants to double revenues by 2030, which means growing by 10% to 15% a year. Demand in China still hasn’t recovered, a year after Chinese consumers boycotted the Swedish company for committing not to source cotton from Xinjiang. A weakening economy in Europe will make H&M’s expansion plans an even trickier fit.

U.S. Open champion Daniil Medvedev expects to be sidelined for one to two months after having hernia surgery.
The No. 2-ranked man in tennis wrote on Twitter on Saturday that he has been dealing with “a small hernia” in recent months.
“Together with my team I have decided to have a small procedure done to fix the problem,” the post said. “I will likely be out for the next 1-2 months and will work hard to be back on court soon.”
That timeline suggests Medvedev likely will miss the next Grand Slam tournament, the French Open, which begins on May 22. He reached the quarterfinals at Roland Garros last year after losing in the first round in each of his first four appearances there.
The 26-year-old Russian briefly reached No. 1 in the ATP rankings for the first time in February, before Novak Djokovic regained the top spot.
Medvedev beat Djokovic in the U.S. Open final last September, then lost to Rafael Nadal in the final of the Australian Open in January.
At his most recent two tournaments, Medvedev dropped his second match at Indian Wells, California, and then exited in the quarterfinals of the Miami Open on Thursday.

As a person with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, the act of bowing to superstition is almost imprinted in my DNA. I’ve fought it for years, and I think I have it mostly under control. But, what about you? Do you still avoid crossing paths with a black cat? Do you throw salt over your left shoulder? Have you asked yourself why? Perhaps a look at the origins of popular superstitions will put things into perspective.

In its latest issue of Consumer Compliance Supervisory Highlights, the FDIC addressed the charging of multiple non-sufficient funds fees for transactions presented multiple times against insufficient funds in the customer’s account. FDIC examiners have scrutinized this issue in recent exams, with some exams remaining open pending resolution of the issue.
In the Supervisory Highlights, the FDIC discussed potential consumer harm from this practice in terms of both deception and unfairness under the Federal Trade Commission Act Section 5’s prohibition on unfair or deceptive acts or practices. The FDIC stated that the “failure to disclose material information to customers about re-presentment practices and fees”—i.e., unclear definitions of “per item or “per transaction”—may be deceptive. Additionally, the FDIC stated that the failure to disclose material information to customers “may also be unfair if there is the likelihood of substantial injury for customers, if the injury is not reasonably avoidable, and if there is no countervailing benefit to customers or competition. For example, there is risk of unfairness if multiple fees are assessed for the same transaction in a short period of time without sufficient notice or opportunity for consumers to bring their account to a positive balance.”
The FDIC listed a range of “risk-mitigating activities” that banks have taken to “reduce potential risk of consumer harm and avoid potential [UDAP] violations.” These include eliminating NSF fees, declining to charge more than one NSF fee for the same transaction, disclosing how NSF fees will be imposed, providing the customer with sufficient notice of the first NSF fee so that the customer can bring the account balance positive before the transaction is represented, ensuring the manner in which NSF fees are charged is “communicated clearly and consistently,” and “[w]orking with service providers to retain comprehensive records so that re-presented items can be identified.”
In its staff analysis of the issue, the American Bankers Association recommended that banks review their deposit account agreement to ensure it states clearly that a separate NSF fee will be assessed each time the same item is resubmitted against insufficient funds. ABA also encouraged banks, if scrutinized by a regulator, to explain the significant logistical challenges with identifying items that have been resubmitted by the merchant for payment against insufficient funds. ABA is updating its staff analysis of this issue to reflect the Supervisory Highlights.

Confidence in Leeds United versus Southampton and in Premier League survival bid
Leeds United are marginal favourites to take all three points from Saturday's Premier League clash against Southampton whose Che Adams is rated the main threat.
The Whites are a best-priced 31-20 for victory in Saturday's 3pm kick-off at Elland Road but the Saints are not far behind at 19-10 whilst the draw is on offer at 11-4.
With Whites no 9 Patrick Bamford out injured, United's teen striker Joe Gelhardt is just about favourite to score first at 33-5, followed by Southampton forward Adams at 7-1.
Southampton's Adam Armstrong and United's record signing Rodrigo are both 15-2, followed by Whites star Raphinha and Saints forward Armando Broja who are both 38-5.
Chelsea loanee Broja netted the only goal of the game in the reverse fixture in October.
United youngster Sam Greenwood is next in the list at 42-5, followed by Southampton's Shane Long at 44-5 and then Whites winger Dan James at 9s.
Saints star James-Ward Prowse is then 10s, followed by team mates Theo Walcott (12s) and Mohamed Elyounoussi (25-2), United's Jack Harrison then next at 27-2.
In a very tight market, a 1-1 draw is favourite in the correct score market at 36-5 and Leeds are firmly expected to stay up in the longer term.
The Whites are currently fifth favourites to go down at 7-2, behind Norwich City (1-100), Watford (2-9), Burnley (4-7) and Everton (11-4).
Brentford are then 8s, followed by Newcastle United (33s), Brighton (150s) and Southampton (275s) who Leeds will hope are on the beach.

A Sunyani High Court has declined bail to one Kwabena Kulbong, 43 for allegedly conspiring and robbing one Issah Ibrahim, a resident of Techiman in the Bono East region of GHC14,000.00.
Kulbong conspired with three other accomplices under the pretext of exchanging foreign currency and robbed the victim of the amount and his mobile phone.
The value of the mobile has been quantified as part of the GHC14,000.00 and two of the accused’s accomplices have already been jailed while one is at large.
The Court presided by Justice Gabriel Mate-Teye declined bail for the accused, saying that because two of the accomplices had been convicted, sentenced to 50 years imprisonment by a Circuit Court at Techiman, it was not appropriate to grant him bail.
Prosecuting, Maame Yaa Kusi-Mensah, an Assistant State Attorney told the Court the act was committed on Wednesday, November 27, 2019, saying that, “it took the Police tireless efforts before suspect Kulbong was arrested”.
She pleaded with the court to decline bail because “there is a higher probability that suspect can jump bail to make the effort made to apprehend him fruitless”.
Ms. Kusi-Mensah said the suspect and his three accomplices reside at Ashaiman in the Ashaiman Municipality of Greater Accra Region and came to Techiman to meet the complainant.
She said they met the victim at a venue where they tied and blindfolded him, robbed him of the amount aforementioned and his mobile phone and fled the area.
Ms. Kusi-Mensah said Police intelligence and assistance of convicts’ relatives led to the arrest of Kulbong on Saturday, May 30, 2020.

CELTIC MANAGER Ange Postecoglou has called on his team to make the most of their healthy state going into Sunday’s trip to Ibrox and play their best football of the season.
Postecoglou has Kyogo Furuhashi available again after three months out with a hamstring problem, having recently got David Turnbull back from a similar injury.
With Tom Rogic also shaking off a knock, Postecoglou has all but James Forrest at his disposal going into Sunday’s crucial cinch Premiership contest.
Celtic stepped up a gear after the winter break after bringing in four new signings following struggles with injuries in the latter part of 2021.
The league leaders are now 30 domestic games unbeaten ahead of facing Rangers, who are three points and 14 goals behind, and have won 11 of their previous 12 league matches.
Postecoglou said: “It was going to be hard for us to be at our best at the beginning of the season because of the way we had to put the group together. We had to sort of grind our way through it.
“But the best planning was that you get to this point of the season, when you know all the games have huge consequences, and try and have a fit and healthy squad, and also try and play your best football at this time of the year.
“I think we have grown through the season, each block we have got a little bit better. Now we are into the final block so that’s our intent, to play our best football now.
“Certainly in terms of the health of our squad, this is the best place we have been in all year, for sure, which gives us that platform.
“But you have got to go out there and do it. It’s one thing to plan for these things but we have still got to go out there and execute and the players know that.
“The foundation is there for us to play our best football now because we have the strongest group of players we have had since the beginning of the year.”
Celtic were six points adrift at the turn of the year but Postecoglou believes the turnaround in fortunes is down to his side’s form rather than a collapse from Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side.
“They have been pretty consistent with their form,” he said. “I know people have said that, because of our position in the league, they have tailed off, but they have only lost one game in the league since Gio took over and that was against us.
DIFFERENTLY
Get closer to the stories that matter with exclusive analysis, insight and debate in The42 Membership.
Become a Member“Our form has been really, really good so people maybe have a look at their form and think they have been a bit off it but they have been pretty consistent.
“In terms of their approach, they are a strong team, well organised, well structured, they have got some strengths in terms of being able to play in transition. They have been fairly flexible in terms of how they play within a game.
“We go into every game, this one included, expecting the opposition to be at their best, to have their strongest team out there and approach how we can overcome whatever they bring to the table with our football. That doesn’t change this weekend.
“I’m sure they will be a formidable opponent and it’s up to us to overcome the challenge in front of us.”

Girls Basketball: Riverhead remembers championship season 10 years later
Has it really been 10 years? It felt more like 10 months.
No, no. It was 10 years ago, in March of 2012, when what was considered the greatest Riverhead girls basketball team of all time completed the greatest season in program history. The 2011-12 Blue Waves ran off a 23-game winning streak, earned a Long Island championship and captured the imagination of its town along the way. That ride took them all the way to Hudson Valley Community College in Troy for the New York State Class AA semifinals and a 67-49 loss to Penfield. Riverhead finished with a 23-2 record and enough happy memories to last a lifetime.
What goes through former Riverhead player Naysha Trent’s mind when she thinks back to those days?
“Greatness, fun, experience, how far we went. Everything,” she said. “It was just so fun. Like it’s something you’ll never forget.”
All those memories must have been triggered for Trent and three other former players from that 2011-12 team who participated in a game between the Bellport and Riverhead alumni teams Friday night at Riverhead High School.
Riverhead alumni captain Jalyn Brown and Trent were on that championship squad along with Marta Czaplak and Melodee Riley. All four were on the court Friday as the Riverhead alumni romped, 51-34, before a large crowd in its own gym.
Just like old times.
“So nostalgic,” Riley said afterward. “It just felt the same, you know, on the court. You could tell like Jalyn and everybody just know where you are on the court. Even though, you know, I missed most of my shots today — the ball felt like it was five pounds, but it was the best feeling just playing with everybody.”
Adding more spice to the event was the presence of Dave Spinella, who coached that championship team 10 years ago, back on the sideline. It was the first game he coached since retiring in 2017 after putting up a 161-101 record over 14 seasons. That was reason enough to sway Riley, who lives in Dallas, to make the trip to Riverhead to play in the game.
“It’s something you’ll never forget.”
Naysha Trent
Spinella had previously coached all 10 of Riverhead’s alumni players, including Dezarae Brown, Katie Brown, Tyisha Johnson, Faith Johnson-DeSilvia, Kelly Rambo and Mary Reiter.
The play may not have been up to the caliber of that 2011-12 team, but then again, the alumni team didn’t even have one practice for preparation. Regardless, Riverhead took the lead for good less than five minutes into the first 20-minute half, built a 31-13 halftime lead and never looked back. Johnson led Riverhead with 11 points while Riley had seven points and nine rebounds.
The late-arriving Arella Guirantes, who plays for the Los Angeles Sparks in the WNBA, caused a stir, entering the game with 2 minutes, 57 seconds left and scoring five points to help Bellport close the game with an 11-2 spurt.
Riverhead shot 46.7% from the floor to Bellport’s 26.5%.
“It was no surprise,” said Brown, who coaches the Suffolk County Community College women’s basketball team. “I knew we would come out rusty, but I know [we weren’t] getting beat on our home floor, either.”
Riverhead’s current coach, Cherese Hinckson, liked seeing the Blue Waves celebrate their past. “I just think this is big for the community and big for women’s basketball here in the community, big for the alumni here,” she said.
Trent was a junior on that championship team and wanted to see the seniors that year go out with a bang. “We wanted to make it memorable and we did,” she said.
To this day, Trent said, she still hears people talking about that magical season. “All the time,” she said. “Like people still have the cover of the newspaper that year. I even have it in my room on my wall. A lot of people still know me just because of playing basketball.”
Thinking back to that memorable season, Brown said: “The best Riverhead team to come out of Riverhead High School. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. You just look back. I still look at the pictures that are hanging on my wall in my room and around the house and all the trophies and then every time I come here for a home game, I always have to walk past that trophy case just to see our names on the trophy, but I can’t believe 10 years go by fast.”
They sure do.

Which camel cardigan is best?
When you’re looking to dress up a pair of jeans or want to add a layer of warmth over a dress, a camel cardigan is a perfect choice. With neutral tones yet a classic appeal, a camel cardigan can take you from a day at the office to a casual evening out. If you’re looking for an affordable yet high-quality camel cardigan, the And Now This Women’s Embellished Button Cardigan is the top choice.
What to know before you buy a camel cardigan
Cardigans are versatile
Cardigans are a workhorse of a garment. They add polish to your outfit and keep you warm, whether you want to look upscale or just pull on a pair of yoga pants. Camel is the ideal color choice because it matches just about anything and looks great on most skin tones.
You can go warm or light
Depending on the weave of the wool, a cardigan can be the perfect thing to keep the chill away on a summer’s night, or it can add serious warmth during the winter. Choose your cardigan based on how you normally use your cardigans or go for a medium-weight fabric to make it go either way.
You may need to pair it with a scarf
If you do want your cardigan to keep you warm on a cold winter’s night, you might also want to invest in a scarf of a complementary color. Since cardigans are collarless, they can leave your neck exposed, so don’t forget your scarf.
What to look for in a quality camel cardigan
Washability
Camel cardigans can be gorgeous, classic wool pieces, but if you’re going to wear yours a lot, you may want to opt for a weave that can be easily washed and hold its shape. Look for a weave that contains acrylic or some polyester for a more washable garment.
Great buttons
Add a touch of fun to your outfit by choosing a cardigan with stand-out buttons. Gold looks great on camel cardigans. Or choose one with buttons with some sparkle. These can add just the right touch to your outfit without being too gaudy.
The right length
Cardigans classically fall to the hips, which can be great if you want extra warmth or want to wear them with leggings. But a more modern spin on the classic cut puts it at waist level for a fun, bolero flare.
Texture
Cardigans are a fantastic way to add some visual interest to your outfit by playing with texture. A cable-knit cardigan shows wool off to great effect, with new, unexpected patterns supplanting the old looks of the past. A chunky-knit cardigan can give your outfit some boho appeal, while a silky, tight knit can look polished and classic.
How much you can expect to spend on a camel cardigan
You’ll find low-cost cardigans starting at around $25, while a designer brand will run up to $150.
Camel cardigan FAQ
How do I accessorize a camel cardigan?
A. While accessory themes are a personal choice, there’s no denying gold is the go-to jewelry material when dressing up a camel cardigan. Add a simple, long rope necklace and a matching bracelet, along with a pair of small gold hoops. If you want to lean into the classic appeal of a camel cardigan, go for a strand of pearls. Try black pearls or freshwater pearls for a twist.
What colors match a camel cardigan?
A. Camel cardigans can solve a host of fashion problems and match nearly everything in your closet. Navy, white, black and olive green are just a few of the colors that look awesome with camel. And because camel is such a calming, classic color, feel free to wear it over that patterned dress or striped pants to balance them out.
What’s the difference between a cardigan and a sweater?
A. The term “cardigan” refers to a specific type of sweater that’s open in the front and has either a button or zipper closure or hangs open, as opposed to a pull-over sweater that has no front opening. It’s said that the name “cardigan” refers to the 7th Earl of Cardigan, who popularized the look.

Which kids’ scooter is best?
If you are trying to get your child to spend a little more time outdoors, a scooter may be just the ticket. They offer a fun and healthy way for kids to use up some of their energy.
Kids’ scooters come in several types and with a range of features that can make them better suited for certain children or age groups. For example, the Micro Kickboard Mini Deluxe LED 3-Wheeled Scooter has a stable design that is perfect for toddlers, and the motion-activated light-up wheels are sure to capture their attention. If you have an older child, the Razor A Kick Scooter stands out as a top choice due to its smooth-gliding wheels and quality build that can stand up to plenty of use.
What to know before you buy a kids’ scooter
Two- vs. three-wheel kids’ scooters
Kids’ scooters are available in both two-wheel and three-wheel options. It is important to match the type of scooter with a child’s abilities. Two-wheel models are better for children at least 7 or 8 years old who have the balance and dexterity to ride them safely. These also require a minimum amount of speed for stability, and younger children may not have the stamina to maintain that. That said, if you have a 5- or 6-year-old child that is already proficient in riding a bicycle without training wheels or roller skating, they may have no trouble with a two-wheel model.
Three-wheel models are suitable for children as young as 2 years old because the scooter does most of the work of keeping them balanced. They also have a basic lean-to-steer mechanism that doesn’t require the rider to actually turn the handlebars. Most children will benefit from starting with a three-wheel model and then progressing to a two-wheel model as their skills improve.
Weight capacity
Every kids’ scooter has a maximum weight capacity that should never be exceeded. For the majority of models, this should be well above the weight of most children within the recommended rider age limit. That said, it is best to always double-check the weight capacity before purchase to ensure you don’t encounter any issues.
Scooter safety tips
User safety should be a top concern any time you are providing a child with a toy they can ride. In the case of kids’ scooters, there are several safety tips to be aware of. Children should be taught to always wear a helmet when riding, and ideally knee and elbow pads.
It is also recommended that kids only ride their scooters under close adult supervision until they have learned enough responsibility to know where, when and how to ride safely. On that note, they should never be allowed to ride a scooter anywhere near traffic, which includes close to the end of the driveway. It is best that they avoid riding on hills or any other steep areas where they could potentially lose control.
What to look for in a quality kids’ scooter
Responsive brakes
Most kids’ scooters have a foot-operated brake above the rear wheel. Other than putting a foot down directly onto the ground, this is the only method used to slow and stop scooters. This means the brake has to be both effective and, ideally, very responsive so children can stop quickly when needed.
Height-adjustable handlebar
Every parent knows that children tend to grow like weeds. The last thing you want is them growing out of their scooter just a couple of months after they get it. With that in mind, it is best to choose a model that features a height-adjustable handlebar. Many scooters even allow you to raise or lower the handlebar as needed without requiring any tools for the job.
Cushioned grips
Kids’ scooters should have cushioned grips for both comfort and safety. Both foam and rubber work, but each offers slightly different benefits. Foam is extremely soft. It also doesn’t get slippery if a child’s hands are sweaty. Rubber is more durable though, and will generally last longer.
Seat
Some models feature seats for a more relaxed ride. To get the best of both worlds, consider purchasing a scooter with a flip-up or removable seat. This way your child has the option of standing or sitting while they ride based on their mood.
Lights
Kids’ scooters with LEDs in the wheels that light up when they ride can add an extra element of fun to keep children entertained for longer. This has the added benefit of making them more visible to passersby and motorists, which can increase their safety.
How much you can expect to spend on a kids’ scooter
Most kids’ scooters cost between $25-$100.
Kids’ scooters FAQ
Do kids’ scooters fold up for transport?
A. Some kids’ scooters fold up for transport but some do not. This is more common in two-wheel models than three-wheel models. However, the latter do sometimes disassemble for more convenient transport. You can usually find information about whether or not a particular model folds up somewhere in the product description.
Are kids’ scooters hard to learn to ride?
A. Kids scooters do have a learning curve, but most children can take them easily enough with a bit of practice. If your child isn’t yet comfortable riding a bicycle or using roller skates, it is best to start with a three-wheel model and progress to a two-wheeled scooter as their skills improve.

WhatsApp currently lets you forward a message marked as “forwarded” with up to 5 chats at a time. You can forward messages with the “Forwarded many times” tag to a single chat at a time. As first spotted by WhatsApp tipster WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is now adding more forwarding limitations in an attempt to reduce spam and misinformation prevalent on the platform.
WhatsApp Message Forwarding Limits
With the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.7.2 update that started rolling out last month, WhatsApp started limiting messages with the “forwarded” tag to be forwarded to one group chat at a time. Meanwhile, you can share messages marked as “forwarded many times” with up to one chat/ group chat at a time.
For those curious about why WhatsApp is imposing these new limitations, here’s what the company states in a support post. “These messages can only be forwarded to one chat at a time, as a way to help keep conversations on WhatsApp intimate and personal. This also helps slow down the spread of rumors, viral messages, and fake news,” reads WhatsApp’s support post.
Users who try to forward a forwarded message to multiple group chats will now get an error message. The error message states “Forwarded messages can only be sent to one group chat at a time”. You can check out the warning pop-up below:
WABetaInfo reports that the feature is now making its way to WhatsApp beta for iOS. As mentioned above, the update comes a month after the feature’s introduction on WhatsApp beta on Android. As per the report, the feature is available in WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.7.0.76. But if you are not seeing the warning, you could expect it to reach you over the coming weeks.

Why Are Desert Sunsets So Colorful?
No matter where you are in the world, it's hard not to be dazzled by the sun's final display of the day. Sunsets are so celebrated for their natural beauty that pointing it out has become a cliché. Watching the sun disappear beneath the horizon may be a universal experience, but not everyone is treated to the same show. If you've ever watched the sun set in the desert, you may have noticed more spectacular colors than sunsets produced elsewhere.
As Atlas Obscura explains, sunlight contains all shades of the color spectrum. When the sun is high in the sky, these colors blend together to appear white to our eyes. As the sun sinks lower, its rays have to penetrate a thicker layer of atmosphere before they can reach us. Shorter wavelengths of light—such as purples and blues—are scattered by the atmosphere before we can see them. This leaves the longer red and orange wavelengths to stand out.
The natural filter of the atmosphere can create an explosion of rosy shades, but sunsets look different when too much light is blocked. In urban environments, air pollution can dull colors that would be vibrant otherwise. This partly explains why desert sunsets are prized for their beauty. Deserts tend to be sparsely populated, and the clean air allows the sun's vivid colors to shine through at twilight.
The lack of moisture in desert air also contributes to this phenomenon. Like air pollution, water vapor and puffy, rain-gorged clouds can mute the sunset's brilliant hues. Precipitation is rare in dry desert environments, where thin, wispy clouds hang in the mid- to upper levels of the atmosphere. These clouds filter and reflect sunlight rather than blocking it, turning the western half of the sky into a watercolor masterpiece in the evening.
Some people travel out of their way to snap the perfect sunset picture. If you're looking to visit a part of the world that's famously photogenic at dusk, consider one of these popular sunset destinations.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has disclosed that Hyundai, KIA and Isuzu have reached advanced stages of establishing commercial production facilities in Ghana.
The President disclosed this when on Thursday, 31st March 2022, he commissioned the Nissan Assembly Plant, located in Tema.
The opening of the Nissan Assembly Plant in the country, according to Nana Akufo-Addo, marks yet another important milestone in the quest to make Ghana a new manufacturing hub of Africa, and, in particular, realise the country’s vision of becoming a leading player in the automobile industry in Africa.
He expressed delighted that, in the automobile sector, Ghana has successfully attracted investments from a number of global iconic brands, including Volkswagen, Toyota and now Nissan.
“We will continue to design innovative policies to ensure the sustainability of the industry, including developing a vehicle financing scheme aimed at supporting the purchase of locally assembled vehicles,” he stated.

Pandemic hits Bundesliga revenue but players' salaries rise
Bundesliga players’ salaries reached an all-time high of nearly 1.57 billion euros last season despite a huge shortfall in German clubs’ revenue during coronavirus lockdowns.
Published: 02nd April 2022 10:46 AM | Last Updated: 02nd April 2022 10:46 AM | A+A A-
BERLIN: Bundesliga players’ salaries reached an all-time high of nearly 1.57 billion euros last season despite a huge shortfall in German clubs’ revenue during coronavirus lockdowns.
The German soccer league (DFL), which covers the 36 clubs of the top two divisions, said on Friday as it released financial figures for 2020-21 that the downturn in revenue since the start of the pandemic totalled more than 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion).
The part or full exclusion of fans from most games had a dramatic effect on match revenue, which fell last season by 95% compared to 2018-19, the last pre-pandemic season. Match revenue of 650 million euros ($721 million) in 2018-19 dropped to 35.5 million ($39 million) in 2020-21, when ticket sales were severely restricted with many games played without fans in order to restrict COVID-19 infections.
“The coronavirus pandemic has already left a deep mark,” DFL chief executive Donata Hopfen said. “As we publish this economic report, we already know that the stands had to remain largely empty in the first two-thirds of the 2021-22 season. As well as damaging the atmosphere in the stadium and on screen, this is posing a huge financial burden for the clubs.”
While Germany's clubs are feeling the pinch, Bundesliga players are not. The top division’s clubs alone paid 1.567 billion euros to their players and coaches in 2020-21, up from 1.446 billion euros the season before. Payroll costs in the second division dropped to 220,000 euros, down from 262,000 the season before.
Despite paying high wages, the 18 clubs of the Bundesliga responded to the pandemic by reducing expenditure elsewhere. Savings of 118 million euros were made on transfers, 89 million euros on match operation expenditure, and 135 million euros on other expenditures including advertising, materials and commercial operations.
Altogether, expenditure for the 18 top division clubs dropped by nearly 200 million euros to 3.76 billion euros last season.
The top division clubs also found income elsewhere. Media revenue increased to a record 1.66 billion euros last season.

In theory, international music makers should be thrilled about the Grammys being handed out this Sunday.
Instead of one category for global music, there are two, doubling the number of nominations from 5 to 10.
(The new category is called "best global music performance." The Grammy rules says it is "reserved for international performers exhibiting non-European, indigenous traditions.")
But if you look at the list of nominees for the 64th annual awards ceremony, it's not that diverse.
Seven of the nominees are from two nations: Nigeria and Benin.
There are no newcomer countries – places that have never been had a local artist nominated.
What's more, the number of artists is limited: four of the five artists nominated in the brand new global performance category are also nominated in the global album category.
There's not a lot of linguistic variety either.
I would argue that the Grammys inadvertently perpetuate the legacy of colonialism by focusing on countries that were former British colonies and have inherited English as an official language, like India, Nigeria and South Africa. In fact, all five of this year's nominations in the global music album category feature predominantly English language songs.
It's a category I care a lot about – and often have a personal stake in. I've had the honor to record 38 records by artists across Africa, Asia, Europe and South and North America — often in places that are reachable only by boat or on foot. Two of these artists have been nominated for a Grammy – Tinariwen (who went on to win for the album Tassili in 2012) and the Zomba Prison Project in 2016, representing Malawi's first (and only) case of artists receiving a nomination.
Global performers can win in non-global categories. Remember 'Who Let The Dogs Out?'
Now it is true that the so-called "global" categories aren't the only place where an international musician can vie for an award.
There are currently 86 Grammy categories, bestowed by the Recording Academy, a group founded in the U.S. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of nominees are typically from the U.S., Canada and England.
Spanish language performers can not only compete in the global categories but have six categories for their music – plus a whole Grammy program of their own with the Latin Grammys.
Some international musicians are nominated in categories like classical, "small ensemble" and movie scores. And once in a while, an international performer captures a mainstream award – in 1965, for example, the bilingual bossa nova and jazz song "The Girl from Ipanema," performed by Brazil's Astrud Gilberto and saxophonist Stan Getz, was named record of the year.
And "Who Let the Dogs Out" — from the Bahamian group Baha Men — won for best dance record in 2001.
South Korea's hugely popular K-pop boy band BTS has been nominated twice in pop music categories although they've not yet been winner.
The record shows how narrow the list of nominated countries is
But as a rule, the best chance for a Grammy for an international performer is in a global category.
A nomination or win in one of the two global categories can have a tremendous impact. Isabel Soffer, co-founder and co-director of globalFEST— an annual international music festival in the U.S. that features international artists, states: "The Grammys could be a particularly powerful platform to educate, celebrate diversity and foster musical discovery through this extraordinary category in a truly meaningful way.
"The public who may listen to new music through Grammy nominations is cheated out of new sounds from around the world, artists are cheated of new audiences and the opportunity to make money and the world suffers because music, as we all know, is the best way to start to understand the world, re-think differences and create joy."
Yet in the decades the global category has been around — the first year such an award was given was 1992 -- the list of countries that have had a winner or even just a nomination has been scant.
Here are some of the statistics:
*Over two-thirds of the 197 nominations in the history of the global categories have been shared by just six nations: Brazil, India, Mali, Nigeria, South Africa – and the United States. In fact artists from the U.S. have been nominated and won more times in the Global category than any other nation. (Though this is an "international" category, artists from the U.S. have never been excluded from eligibility; this year, for example, Hawaii-born Daniel Ho is a nominee and in past years American rock stars like Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead have won.)
*Overall, only 14 out of 56 African nations have had artists receive a nomination: Benin, Cameroon, Cape Verde, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Morocco, Uganda, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa.
*Countries that have never been on the global music nomination list include: Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, the Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Georgia, Myanmar, Libya, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Vietnam and Yemen.
Some omissions are particularly perplexing. The sonically-innovative, cello-driven Ukrainian group DakhaBrakha which has released seven critically-acclaimed albums since 2005 and racked up almost 3 million views for its video for NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts. Yet they've never registered on the Grammy radar.
"World music, like rock, jazz or classical is an enormous category yet there is a consistent omission of many outstanding artists," notes Isabel Soffer of globalFEST.
So why aren't the winners in the global category more ... globally diverse?
I do know that hundreds of artists in the global arena are eager to be nominated – for the same reasons that any musician is interested in a Grammy nod. The Grammy award is the most prestigious music award. Recognition can bring tremendous exposure for airplay, concert dates – and of course the financial boon that can come along with an award.
This year, nearly 400 candidates were considered for the two global categories, submitted typically by record labels, publicists or the artists themselves. They come from such culturally diverse and far-flung places as China, Comoros, Finland, Tunisia and Venezuela, all nations that have never had a single artist nominated in the global category.
The submissions are reviewed by a small, confidential "screening committee." Next the artists' fate is determined by the official Grammy voters— a group made up mostly of producers, engineers, and artists.
And if you look at the statistics I've cited above, you can see that familiar faces and countries are favored.
I asked the Grammys to comment on these statistics and the current nominees, but they did not respond to my request in time for the posting of this article.
Jimi Hendrix never won a Grammy in his lifetime!
Of course, the Grammys themselves are far from a perfect measure of the best music in all categories. There've been past charges that the process is deeply flawed.
One point is that all "12,000 strong" voting members are eligible to vote in three categories of their choosing if they feel they have expertise in that type of music – but the Recording Academy does not vet their assertion that they are familiar with, say, classical or jazz or "global" sounds. Voters choose three genre fields by their own accord.
And as in any awards, voters may make their selections based not solely on the artistry of a nominee. Some industry insiders allege that voters who work for a label often vote as a block for that label's nominees: giving a possible advantage to a global performer like WizKid. The Nigerian musician, who was nominated twice in the global categories this year, is on the world's second largest label group, Sony Music (RCA).
And it's important to note that with all Grammy awards, the merit of the music is not necessarily the sole determinant of winning an award. A parlor game is easily made of naming fabled performers never as much as nominated for a Grammy during their lifetime— icons like Jimi Hendrix, Fela Kuti, Patsy Cline, Bob Marley, NWA, Cecil Taylor and the Ramones.
Angelique Kidjo's Grammy vision
Angelique Kidjo is arguably the world's most recognized performer in the global realm, has been nominated 3 times this year and has won 4 Grammys.
She's personally seen how the Grammys have grown in importance in the global realm.
"The Grammys have become something really huge in Africa," she told me.
"When I first won a Grammy [2008], there wasn't much knowledge about the award in Africa. Even my father on his deathbed said, 'What is a Grammy?' And I had to explain it to him. And then he looked at me and said, 'Finally you've found a country that recognizes talent.'
Kidjo states, "We need to be really mindful of the importance of international music and representing diversity.
"The thing we have to do to really change things is not just represent all of these places, but from time to time to perform on the TV [awards] show for people to see global musicians.
"That's how the business is built."
And there's no question that international musicians, like all musicians trying to earn a living in their chosen field, can benefit from the exposure. Some of the rural musicians I've worked have told me of the hard lives they lead: a lack of clean water, electricity, reliable transportation and good roads; losing family members to even minor ailments like infected cuts due to struggles locating access to health care; difficulty securing schooling for their children.
The untimely passing this year of northern Ghana musician, Small, who was renowned for his exuberant performances at local funerals and was on the verge of his first international trip, is one of far too many such tales. His family did not have enough money to pay for his own funeral.
But of course these are just a few of the many "global" performers who make glorious music in spite of the hardships they face. To me, this makes especially glaring the Grammys' negligence in not rigorously making room for less-advantaged musicians, particularly the most physically isolated — those from remote rural areas, artists literally living on the margins.
And Angelique Kidjo makes it clear that this is a category that should have a mission: "We've got to educate people to understand that it's not just commercial music that is 'music.' We have music in the global category that is the roots of all the commercial music that people are listening to. It's important to go back and find out where the commercial music you are listening to comes from.
"We need to bring the topic of global music to the forefront of the Grammys. We need to have a constant discussion to improve and get better. The whole world is watching."

Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic has conceded that the situation surrounding Ralf Rangnick's interim reign as Red Devils boss has not been easy for anyone involved.
Rangnick was appointed in early December of last year in the wake of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking, but the German is only at the helm until the end of the current campaign as his appointment was purely an interim one to steady the ship. Whether he has actually done that is up for debate, given there still seems to be new reports of unrest at Old Trafford with each passing week.
The recent comments from Matic appear to suggest the uncertainty over United's managerial situation has contributed to some of the struggles on the pitch in recent weeks. "It's not easy when players think that the manager is only here for a few months," the Serbian explained.
"It's not easy for him. But we are all professionals, we need to follow his ideas because it's good for him, good for us and good for the club.
"For the players, sometimes, if you know the manager is not here for the next season, it's not easy. When you change manager, every new manager needs some time to work on it and we are trying to do exactly what he wants from us. In some games we did that very well, in some games not that great."
Matic's latest comments come just days after he gave a bleak insight into what the mood around the dressing room is like. "The atmosphere? It depends on results. Of course, when you have good results the atmosphere is much better and everyone is happy," he told talkSPORT.
HAVE YOUR SAY! Who should Man Utd appoint as their next permanent manager? Comment below
"As you know, we are not in the best position in the league and the atmosphere is not fantastic but we have to stay positive and believe until the end because we want to finish in that top-four.
"The atmosphere in our dressing room will depend on that. If we finish top-four then it will be good for us, everyone will be… I cannot say happy, but satisfied. If we don't make that, it will be a very sad dressing room."
United currently sit sixth in the Premier League table and while Rangnick has overseen an upturn in results in comparison to his predecessor, the Red Devils still look unlikely to secure Champions League qualification for next season given they are four points adrift off fourth-placed Arsenal having played a game more.
It marks an incredible demise from how high ambitions were before a ball had been kicked this term, when Matic and co. were touted with a first title tilt for a number of years.

Pakistan PM calls for street protests ahead of no-confidence vote
Pay attention: Become TUKO.co.ke ambassador – get a branded T-shirt, hoodie or water bottle at our TUKO Shop!
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan called on his supporters to take to the streets Sunday ahead of a parliamentary no-confidence vote that could see him thrown out of office.
No Pakistan premier has ever completed a full term, and Khan is facing the biggest challenge to his rule since being elected in 2018, with opponents accusing him of economic mismanagement and foreign-policy bungling.
Parliament is due to debate the motion Sunday -- with a vote possibly the same day -- but Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party (PTI) effectively lost its majority in the 342-member assembly last week when a coalition partner said its seven lawmakers would vote with the opposition.
More than a dozen PTI lawmakers have also indicated they will cross the floor, although party leaders are trying to get the courts to prevent them from voting.
On Saturday Khan called on supporters to take to the streets to peacefully protest against what he said was a "conspiracy" hatched outside Pakistan to unseat him.
"I want you all to protest for an independent and free Pakistan," he said during a public question and answer phone-in broadcast by state media.
PAY ATTENTION: Don't miss trending Kenyan news. Follow TUKO.co.ke on Twitter!
Earlier this week he accused the United States of meddling in Pakistan's affairs, with local media reporting he had received a briefing letter from Islamabad's ambassador to Washington recording a senior US official telling him they felt relations would be better if Khan left office.
In Washington, State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters there was "no truth" to the allegations.
Khan has accused the opposition of conspiring with Washington to remove him because he won't take the West's side on global issues against Russia and China.
He called his opponents "robbers, cowards, deceivers".
The opposition is headed by the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) -- two usually feuding dynastic groups that dominated national politics for decades until Khan forged a coalition against them.
Army key to power
If Khan goes, the PML-N's Shehbaz Sharif is tipped to become the next prime minister -- but on Saturday the government moved to have him sent back to jail to await trial on money-laundering charges that have been pending since 2020.
The government asked a Lahore court to revoke his bail, with a decision expected Monday.
Sharif is the younger brother of three-time prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who was ousted and jailed on corruption charges in 2017 and is currently in Britain after being released from prison two years later for medical treatment.
Khan was elected after promising to sweep away decades of entrenched corruption and cronyism, but has struggled to maintain support with inflation skyrocketing, a feeble rupee and crippling debt.
Some analysts say Khan has also lost the crucial support of the military -- claims both sides deny -- and Pakistan's army is key to political power.
There have been four military coups -- and at least as many unsuccessful ones -- since independence in 1947, and the country has spent more than three decades under army rule.
Debate on the no-confidence motion was due to start Thursday, but the deputy speaker -- from Khan's party -- suspended proceedings when legislators declined to first address other items on the agenda.
Khan, a former international cricket star who in 1992 captained Pakistan to their only World Cup win, hinted he still had a card to play.
"I have a plan for tomorrow, you should not be worried about it. I will show them and will defeat them in the assembly."
In the past, parties have resorted to physically preventing lawmakers from voting on key legislation by blocking access to the national assembly, leading to cat-and-mouse chases and even accusations of kidnapping.

DETROIT (AP) — New-vehicle sales in the U.S. fell about 12% in the first quarter compared with a year ago, as the global computer chip shortage continued to slow factories amid high consumer demand.
General Motors reported Friday that its sales were down 20% for the quarter, while Toyota sales were off 15%. Stellantis sales were down 14%, while Nissan was off almost 30%. Honda reported a 23% decline, and Hyundai sales were fell just 4% from January through March.
Many automakers reporting sales made reference to the chip shortage, which began late last year and has continued to frustrate the industry, making it unable to satisfy strong demand from consumers. Many expect improvement during the year, especially in the second half.
“Improvements in the supply chain should lift auto sales as the year progresses, despite headwinds from higher inflation and fuel prices,” GM Chief Economist Elaine Buckberg said in a statement.
Thomas King, president of data for J.D. Power, said March is typically a big sales month for automakers. Instead, all automakers had only 900,000 vehicles in their inventories nationwide, and that crimped sales.
Yet consumer demand remains strong and discounts are few, pushing the average sales price up to a record $44,129 for the quarter, J.D. Power said.
Vehicles that make their way to dealerships are selling quickly, according to Edmunds.com. Gas-powered vehicles sat for only 20 days on average compared with 62 days in March of last year. Demand for electric vehicles also was strong because they sat for only 21 days, versus 63 a year ago. Gas-electric hybrids moved off the lot in an average of 15 days, compared with 48 in March of 2021, Edmunds said.
Some dealers report that all vehicles en route from factories already have been sold.
But Edmunds Executive Director Jessica Caldwell said automakers are likely to face new parts shortages due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine on top of the chip shortage. “This combination of headwinds could mean that these inventory issues will persist well into the rest of the year,” she said.
An Edmunds analyst calculated that sales dropped about 12% for the quarter.
Used vehicle prices also are high. The average trade in value was $9,274 in March, 81% more than a year ago, J.D. Power said. But even with that, monthly payments were likely to hit a record of $658, the company said.
Toyota, with 514,592 sales from January through March, edged past GM with 512,846 to stay as the top-selling automaker in the U.S. Toyota beat GM in sales last year for the first time.
Sales figures reported on Friday do not include Ford or Tesla, both of which plan to report numbers at later dates.

In 2014, then BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, while addressing a rally in Assam's Cachar district, had spoken about Arjun Namasudra, a Bengali Hindu, who had died by suicide after receiving a notice from a Foreigners' Tribunal.
Modi had said, "Arjun didn't die for himself but for the rights of lakhs of people in detention camps. Arjun Namasudra has sacrificed his life for them."
Forty-year-old Arjun Namasudra killed himself in 2012 after receiving a notice from the Foreigners' Tribunal, which questioned his Indian identity. After Modi's speech on 23 February, 2014, many leaders from the BJP and other parties assured that Arjun's family would be safe now. Arjun was declared 'Indian' by the tribunal court after his death.
Now, Akol Rani Asked To Prove Her Identity
But now, a decade after his death, Arjun's mother, Akol Rani Namasudra, is faced with a similar predicament. The 80-year-old woman has been asked to prove her identity. She is a resident of Haritikar Part-1, which falls under the Katogorah Assembly constituency near the India-Bangladesh international border.
Foreigners Tribunal-4 of Silchar issued her a notice in February this year and asked her to appear before the court on 5 March. She couldn't appear on that day, and now, the court has summoned her on 4 April.
In the notice, member of FT-4, Dharmananda Deb, wrote, "You (Akol Rani Namasudra) could not produce any valid document before police during enquiry/verification regarding your citizenship within the stipulated period of time and on this ground, you are suspected to be an illegal migrant."
Senior lawyer from Silchar, Anil Chandra Dey, has taken the responsibility of presenting Akol Rani Namasudra's case before the FT-4. Dey said, "She has adequate documents to prove that she is an Indian. But it'll take at least three hearing dates to convince the court."
'My Entire Family Is Disturbed'
Akol Rani Namasudra resides in her house built under a government scheme. She has several physical ailments, which prevent her from even cooking; sometimes, she sleeps on an empty stomach.
"I can't call myself 'pagol' (mentally unstable) but I am no less than that. My son killed himself in front of my eyes because of a wrong allegation. My entire family is disturbed, and now, the same notice has been served on me. I was born when there was only one country, Bharat. I have seen the Partition, and now in India, they feel that I am an outsider."Akol Rani Namasudra
She says she's afraid. "How can I not be afraid? If I fail to convince the court that I am in Indian, I will be sent beyond the fences. I don't have any other option but to fight back. The court has summoned me and I will appear with all my documents. I have a senior lawyer to help me and he said that I can prove my Indian identity," Akol Rani adds.
In spite of holding a citizenship card from 1956 issued by the Government of India under his father's name, Arjun Namasudra's Indian Identity was questioned in 2012. He died by suicide out of fear of being arrested and sent to Bangladesh, according to his family. Akol Rani was also born in Katigorah area, which falls under Cachar district of Assam.
Arjun's family appeared before the court after his death and it declared him 'Indian' in 2013. Later, his four children, wife, and mother found a place in the final draft of the NRC.
'Living in Fear of Being Deported'
Akol Rani says, "We live in the border area, where the fear of being thrown out of India is rampant. That fear disturbed my son. He was an emotional person. After realising that the notice had questioned his identity, Arjun told me, 'You all are counted as Indian, they excluded only me, I am a nobody now.'"
Explaining what had happened in 2012, Akol Rani says, "I tried to convince my son that it happens to others as well and that we will prove his identity. But he couldn't handle the pressure and killed himself. He left me alone to live this life."
Politics Over Arjun's Death
Senior leader of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and lawyer, Santanu Naik, says that he is shocked to learn that Arjun's mother got the FT notice.
"The PM himself assured that nobody would suffer like Arjun anymore. Arjun proved his identity after his death. The government has passed the Citizenship Amendment Act, which can save Hindus. Still, the FT issued a notice to Akol Rani. We don't understand how," he says.
Naik also claims that the police do not serve the notice properly. "There are thousands who don't get information that there are cases against them. They don't appear, and the court would declare them foreigners in ex-parte (one-sided) judgments. If the FTs are courts, they should work as per the law. When a person fails to appear, the FT should issue a warrant before coming to any conclusion," he adds.
'Assam Needs More Martyrs'
Kankan Narayan Sikidar, the president of RSS-based body North-East Linguistic and Ethic Coordination Committee (NELECC), feels that Arjun Namasudra is a martyr and that Assam needs more such sacrifices.
"Arjun killed himself because of an injustice. If his mother wins the case, the government will understand. He is a martyr and we need at least 4-5 such deaths, because without deaths, how freedom will come?" he says.
Before Arjun's mother, his mother-in-law Sabitri Biswas had also received a notice from the Foreigners Tribunal in 2017. The family is fighting the case till date.
In Sabitri's words, "For us, this has become a regular affair. But Akol Rani Namasudra has already suffered a lot. At this age, why should she go through all this again?"
According to local residents, in 1956, the Government of India had allotted land to 173 migrated families from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) in Katigorah area. But many of their descendants have received D-voter notices in recent years and many of them have also failed to register their names in the final draft of the NRC.

New COVID-19 variant: No need to push panic button, but keep close watch, says TIGS Director
With several reports citing the emergence of a new mutant of the novel Coronavirus known as XE which is more transmissible than the BA.2 sub-variant of Omicron, the Tata Institute for Genetics and Society has urged citizens of the country not to panic and closely monitor the development of the variant.

By Shalini Bhardwaj With several reports citing the emergence of a new mutant of the novel Coronavirus known as XE which is more transmissible than the BA.2 sub-variant of Omicron, the Tata Institute for Genetics and Society has urged citizens of the country not to panic and closely monitor the development of the variant.
Speaking exclusively to ANI today, Tata Institute for Genetics and Society (TIGS) Director Rakesh Mishra said, "The new mutant XE emerged for the first time in mid-January, but I believe that there is no need to push a 'panic button'. So far, only 600 cases have been reported across the world. But we need to keep a close watch on it." According to the World Health Organization (WHO)'s latest report, the new mutant called XE may be more transmissible than any strain of COVID-19 reported so far.
He further said that there is no indication that it can cause a wave of COVID-19. "No indication is present at the moment highlighting that this new variant is so strong that it can cause a wave. We need to wait for some more time to make comments on how transmissible it can be," he said. Dr Mishra also stressed that it is important to take all safety measures to curb the spread of the virus.
"It is unfortunate that a certain section of the society seems to be eager to declare that the pandemic is over. People should take care by using masks, administering vaccines as per rules and boosters wherever allowed and avoiding unnecessary clustering in crowded spaces, especially in close spaces. Act civil by wearing masks." Meanwhile, India today reported 1,260 fresh COVID-19 cases, taking the total number of Coronavirus infections to 4,30,27,035. India also recorded 83 COVID-related deaths in the last 24 hours, according to the Health Ministry.
Today morning, India's COVID-19 vaccination coverage exceeded 184.52 crore (1,84,52,44,856) as per provisional reports till 7 am today. COVID-19 vaccination for the age group 12-14 years was started on March 16, 2022. So far, more than 1.81 crore (1,81,21,823) adolescents have been administered with the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine. (ANI)

Sat with lawyers 'all day', Legal action to be taken against the 'traitors', warns Imran Khan
Ahead of the crucial voting on the no-confidence motion against the Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, the PM on Saturday targeted the opposition and said that legal action will be taken against 'traitors' who are involved in conspiring to topple the government.
- Country:
- Pakistan
Ahead of the crucial voting on the no-confidence motion against Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, the PM on Saturday targeted the opposition and said that legal action will be taken against 'traitors' who are involved in conspiring to topple the government. "We are looking into it and we will decide by the night of the kind of legal action which we will have to take," said Imran Khan while addressing the Pakistani youth.
"I sat with my lawyers for the entire day and we have made the plan. We will not spare these traitors under any circumstances," he warned. "We will file cases on all of them. However I am seeing with my lawyers as to what could be the better way to do it as we also need to abide by the law," Imran Khan added.
This comes at a time when the PM said that he will share the 'foreign-funded conspiracy' letter with senior journalists and ally party members which has evidence that outside elements are trying to topple the government. Upcoming voting for the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan is scheduled on Sunday. In Pakistan's National Assembly, the no-trust vote against the Imran Khan government was deferred to April 3.
Imran Khan received a massive blow when the PTI "lost the majority" in the National Assembly after losing its key ally in the coalition Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P). The MQM announced that it had struck a deal with the opposition Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and would support the no-trust vote in the 342-member National Assembly. The no-confidence motion was submitted by the Opposition parties on March 8. The Opposition has been confident that its motion would be carried as many PTI lawmakers have come out in the open against PM Imran Khan.
Imran Khan is the third Prime Minister to face the no-confidence motion in Pakistan. (ANI)

Jos Buttler’s manic mayhem was matched in equal measure by spin twins Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal as Rajasthan Royals beat Mumbai Indians by 23 runs in an IPL match on Saturday. Buttler (100 off 68 balls) scored his second IPL ton off only 66 balls to help the Royals to 193 for 8, which seemed slightly sub-par due to Jasprit Bumrah’s (3/17 in 4 overs) brilliant effort.
Ishan Kishan (54 off 43 balls) and unheralded N Tilak Verma (61 off 33 balls) added 81 in 8 overs before Ashwin (1/30 in 4 overs) and Chahal (2/26 in 4 overs) decisively tilted the game in RR’s favour between overs 14 to 16 as MI managed only 170 for 8 after 20 overs. While Royals have now won two out of two, MI have lost both their games in another dismal start to an IPL season.
IPL 2022 – FULL COVERAGE | SCHEDULE | RESULTS | ORANGE CAP | PURPLE CAP
In the end, there were two factors that combined to bring about MI’s downfall. Firstly, it was Buttler’s (11 fours and five sixes) assault against MI’s weak-links like Basil Thampi and Murugan Ashwin that made the difference. Three such overs yielded 73 runs and even Bumrah’s brilliance didn’t seem to be enough in the final context of the match.
And then while bowling, in between overs 14 and 16, Chahal-Ashwin combination gave away only 16 runs and the chase was derailed. In the last four overs also, Trent Boult (1 for 29 in four overs), Prasidh Krishna (1/37 in 4 overs) and Navdeep Saini (2/36 in 3 overs) kept things tight by not giving Kieron Pollard (22 off 24 overs) any room to free his arms. All of them knowing Pollard’s weakness against fast wide yorkers, bowled them aplenty to keep the West Indies white-ball skipper under tight leash. If there was one plus point for MI, that will be young Tilak Verma, who could be the next big player for the franchise with his eye-catching elegance coupled with brute power. The reverse swept six off Ashwin was brilliant but Tilak played one slog sweep too many to get out off the next ball.
Buttler played shots all round the park to bring up his second IPL hundred and first of the current edition. It was all the more praiseworthy as Yashashvi Jaiswal (1) and Devdutt Padikkal (7) were dismissed cheaply. Skipper Sanju Samson (30 off 21 balls) played a good knock as he and Buttler conjured 82 runs for the third wicket.
A late cameo by Shimron Hetymar (35 off 14 balls; 3×4; 3×6) compounded the bowling team’s woes. Buttler, who was off the mark with a boundary to fine-leg and hit his first maximum, a pull shot over mid-wicket, off Daniel Sams (0/32), in the second over seemed on a rampage.
Highlights Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals IPL 2022
He tore into Basil Thampi’s fourth over, hammering him for three maximums and two boundaries, as Rajasthan fetched 26 runs and raced to 43/1. Buttler, who hit two successive boundaries off Sams, brought up his fifty in just 32 balls and then took the Mumbai Indians attack to task.
At 87/2, after 10 overs, the stage was set for a big score. Buttler was playing big shots at will and was ably supported by his captain. The duo was brutal on Murugan Ashwin, hitting him for 21-runs in the 11th over. Samson struck three sixes and a four, before being dismissed by Kieron Pollard in the 15th over. Then it was the Hetymar show, as he hit compatriot Pollard for two fours and as many sixes in the 17th over, where RR got 26 runs. Buttler paced his innings well and reached to the three-figure mark with a single. However Bumrah’s 19th over partially got MI back in the game.

About the Lawsuit

On January 20, 2022, the Company disclosed that it had "identified a cracking issue that developed over time in certain factory-installed connectors" and that replacement of the connectors would cause the Company to incur "approximately $27 million of supplier-quality related charges in fourth quarter 2021 and approximately $4 million in the first quarter of 2022."
On this news, shares of SunPower fell $3.22 per share, or 16.9%, to close at $15.80 per share on January 21, 2022, on unusually heavy trading volume.
The case is Jaszczyszyn v. SunPower Corporation, et al., No. 22-cv-956.

Leonard (Mark Rylance), the proprietor of the finest bespoke suiting shop in 1956 Chicago, wants to make one thing very clear: he’s not a tailor, he’s a cutter. “Anyone with a needle and thread can call themselves a tailor,” he sniffs. No, Leonard trained for years on legendary Savile Row in London learning the art of cutting suits from fine cloth, and he wields his trusty old shears with the precision and confidence that comes from decades dedicated to his craft.
“The Outfit,” written by Johnathan McClain and Graham Moore, is the directorial debut of Moore, who won the adapted screenplay Oscar for “The Imitation Game.” It takes place entirely within the confines of Leonard’s shop, a cozy respite from the freezing, seemingly bullet-riddled Chicago streets. But the gang warfare creeps beyond the threshold of L. Burling Bespoke, and the result is a twisty, blood-soaked chamber piece, a retro gangster noir as meticulously crafted as a fine custom suit.
An immigrant from England, Leonard claims that he’s come to Chicago to ply his trade because he was under attack — from blue jeans. He’s slipped into this world of of Al Capone wannabes by submitting to their demands: there’s a secret letterbox in the back of his shop where the Irish mob sends and receives messages. It doesn’t arouse suspicion for men to come and go frequently from the suit shop, and gang leader Roy Boyle (Simon Russell Beale) has a taste for nice clothing and Leonard’s refined English manner: tea and biscuits and Oscar Wilde quotes.
But it’s Boyle’s arrogant son, Richie (Dylan O’Brien) who runs his errands, with his menacing compatriot Francis (Johnny Flynn) by his side, Richie shooting a few too many grins in the direction of Leonard’s comely receptionist, Mable (Zoey Deutch). One night, as Leonard’s working late, Richie and Francis burst through the door, Richie bleeding from a bullet in his gut. They have in their possession a recording from an FBI bug, and if they only they can find something to play it on, they’ll discover who the rat might be. This is only the beginning of the gory drama that will play out over the next couple of hours in this space.
Portrayed with thoughtfulness and studied physicality by Oscar-winner Rylance, one can’t shake the feeling that Leonard’s quiet, unassuming nature belies something much deeper below the surface. He’s just a bit too quick on his feet, and too clever with a lie, placating all sorts of suspicions as Richie, Francis and Roy cycle through, the situation becoming increasingly dangerous and wider in scope.
Set in the one location, and driven by the script and performances, “The Outfit” feels theatrical, like a play, but what could have otherwise been a minimalist potboiler is elevated by the cast, especially Rylance, who delicately carefully carries the tale and tone, offering subtlety and nuance to contrast the brutishness of the men around him. O’Brien, Flynn and Deutch are three of the finest young actors working today, and they play off Rylance’s Leonard with swagger (O’Brien), psychopathy (Flynn), and softness (Deutch).
Legendary cinematographer Dick Pope lenses the film with the kind of desaturated color palette that’s become de rigueur for a period piece, and while certain moments are dull, there’s otherwise a warm, lamp-lit beauty and texture to the film’s style. Alexandre Desplat’s score is a bit aggressive at times, but it lends to the throwback 1950s appeal of the project. They don’t often make them like this anymore, a story cut, folded and stitched together with care, so “The Outfit” is worth slipping into and savoring.

How Mindy Kaling Got ‘Duped’ Into Wearing Jeans to a Movie Premiere by Her ‘Frenemy’ on ‘The Office’
Not cool! Before becoming a red carpet guru, Mindy Kaling had a fashion faux pas while attending the 40-Year-Old Virgin premiere — but it wasn’t her fault.
Work Hard, Play Hard! ‘The Office’ Cast’s Best Reunions Over the Years
Read articleIn Judd Apatow ’s new book, Sicker in the Head: More Conversations About Life and Comedy , the Mindy Project creator, 42, recalled being tricked into wearing jeans to the Los Angeles event in 2005 by a former Office coworker.
"I didn't know you're supposed to hire a stylist for the movie premiere," Kaling told Apatow, 54, in the book, which is a collection of interviews by the filmmaker. "I had a frenemy at The Office , and I asked this person, 'Hey, what do you wear to a premiere?' And they said to me, 'Oh, just wear jeans and a T-shirt. It's L.A. so nobody really gets dressed up for these things.'”
Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak's Unbreakable Bond Through the Years: Photos
Read articleThe Why Not Me? author remembered thinking, “OK, cool,” and chose to follow the person’s advice. The 40-Year-Old Virgin , which Apatow directed, was Kaling’s first major film role. She played Amy, the ex-girlfriend of Paul Rudd ’s character, David.
“I didn't want to seem thirsty wearing a gown while everyone was dressed down. So, I showed up in a tank top and jeans with some earrings, and everyone there looked so good ,” the Sex Lives of College Girls creator explained. “They had been styled to perfection — and I was like, ‘I've been f—king duped by this frenemy of mine.’ That ... felt like a missed opportunity, and then after that, I became really into fashion."
Kaling didn’t reveal the identity of her former work “frenemy,” instead she told Apatow why she can’t watch herself in the 2005 comedy that starred her Office costar Steve Carell .
"It feels like I had this great opportunity and I blew it, because I didn't know what it was like to be on camera. I only shot for two days, but I have two really vivid memories of that movie ,” the Ocean’s Eight actress revealed in the book. “One was that I was sitting across from Paul Rudd, who, for the record, is ten years older than me but now looks fifteen years younger than me, so that I don't love.”
Kaling detailed an awkward moment in which she was supposed to be talking to Rudd, 52, but instead started looking into the camera. Because of her split focus, Apatow had to come over to the actress and remind her where to look.
“I didn't even know I had been doing it. I was just so nervous — I couldn't believe that I'd been picked to do this with all these funny people,” the A Wrinkle in Time star continued. “The second memory was in Video Village, and it was you and Seth [Rogen] and Paul and Elizabeth Banks , and you all had such a great rapport. I didn't want to seem like I was hovering and trying to laugh along, so I sat a couple of rows back and watched you guys . I love the movie, but whenever that scene comes up, I fast-forward through it."
Screen Queens! 11 of the Wealthiest Women in TV
Read articleThe Never Have I Ever writer has upped her fashion game since her 2005 jean debacle. In fact, Kaling now shares her style snaps via social media, including a swimsuit photo shoot in September 2020.
Earlier this week, she stepped out for the Oscars in Hollywood and slayed the Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet. “I love the movies!” the Massachusetts native wrote via Instagram on Sunday, March 27, debuting her bold yellow and silver Dolce and Gabbana gown.
She later showed off her slim figure in a sexy black Dion Lee dress and Andrea Wazen heels. “I promise this is my last thirst trap pic from this weekend! Now we can go back to videos of me cooking meatloaf or whatever,” she wrote via social media on Tuesday, March 29.
Apatow’s Sicker in the Head is out now.

“Very significant sums of money” stolen from from victim bank accounts
Fraudsters are using a complex text scam to get people to hand over their bank cards, telling them it’s needed for “forensic testing”.
Gardaí are warning the public of a worrying scam that is not only obtaining credit cards illegally but is also using innocent people to collect these cards.
People are being urged to be cautious of text messages that appear to come from their bank but include a link.
Genuine banks will never ask a customer to click on a link from a text message, or ask them for their PIN number or online banking details.
Through this scam, fraudsters are obtaining personal details from victims as after they click on the link they are asked to input their phone number and login into their bank account.
Using this information they then call the victim and pretend to be from the fraud department of the bank and convince the victim that their account is compromised and their bank card is required by the bank for “forensic testing” or some other reason.
They then tell the victim they are sending out a third party to collect their card, which they asked them to put in an envelope.
The fraudster will frequently be on the phone to the victim as the third party arrives to encourage the handover of the envelope.
According to gardaí, this third person is usually also innocent, and may have been contacted on social media and asked to collect the envelope from the victim and deliver it to an agreed address, usually near a bank.
They will be met by a person on foot who will take possession of the card and it is then used to withdraw cash and transfer funds out of the victim's account.
A garda spokesperson said this type of fraud has resulted in the theft of “very significant sums of money from victim bank accounts”.
Gardaí are warning people to never click on links in an unsolicited text message, never ever give away their PIN number, one-time codes, or online banking details/passwords.
They also say to never act on advice or instruction received during an unsolicited call, never download an app on instruction from an unsolicited call and never hand over your bank card to a third party.

Eric Dier spotlights the working attitude of Antonio Conte's Spurs as the central defender insists that "comfort is the enemy".
In his most recent interview with Sky Sports, Tottenham Hotspur's Dier had plenty of complimentary comments when questioned about Conte's working style and how it has benefitted the Spurs dressing room. Dier stated that "I think it is what the club needed, what the squad needed. Comfort is the enemy, he (Conte) has created an uncomfortable environment, and he is doing that more and more. It keeps you on your toes, everyone within the club, it keeps them on their toes. It pushes you".
"It is easy to fall into that trap. In a club like this with an incredible set-up, training ground, and stadium, we need to try and push on as a club and as individuals within that to try and take us back to where we were a few years ago and past that".

With Spurs aiming for the final Champions League position in the latter stages of the season, Conte's intensity could, if Dier is to be believed, spur them on.
When asked about how Conte has improved his individual game, Dier explained, "The way in which he pushes you, he is never satisfied, and he wants you to never be satisfied. He wants more from you and demands a lot. I find that a very enjoyable environment to work in. He demands a lot from you, but he gives everything of himself to you."
Suppose Spurs are to cement themselves in the Champions League places rather than another season of Europa League or Europa Conference League football. In that case, Conte will be hoping the rest of his squad follows Dier's willingness to give everything.
With Arsenal able to maintain a level of consistency that Spurs are yet to find, there is plenty of work to do. However, with the Lilywhites finding a level of attacking cohesion unseen for the majority of the season, there is every chance they can push both Arsenal and Manchester United all the way.

Student fatally shot at S.C. middle school, sheriff says; suspect in custody
GREENVILLE, S.C. (WHNS/Gray News) - The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office said a student has died and a suspect is in custody after a shooting at Tanglewood Middle School.
A school resource officer at Tanglewood Middle School requested emergency backup just before 12:30 p.m., when deputies said a 12-year-old student was shot. Jamari Cortez Bonaparte Jackson was transported to the hospital.
Jackson died at the hospital.
The community organization Fighting Injustice Together released a statement on behalf of the Jackson family: “We are all devastated by today’s tragedy. We love Jamari dearly and we would ask that our privacy be respected as we grieve during this very difficult time.”
Just after 1:45 p.m., deputies said the shooting suspect was taken into custody. Deputies said the suspect is also a 12-year-old. He was detained in close proximity to the school. The sheriff’s office said deputies are not looking for any additional suspects.
Deputies said the suspect shot the victim in the 700 wing of the school before running from the property. He was found hiding under a deck at a home in the 3000 block of Easley Bridge Road.
A handgun was recovered.
The suspect, whose name has not been released due to his age, is charged with murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, possession of a firearm on school property and unlawful possession of a weapon by a person under age 18.
The motive for the shooting is unknown, but deputies said the suspect and the victim were familiar with each other.
All students from Tanglewood Middle School were taken to Brookwood Church to be reunited with their families.
Director of Media Relations for Greenville County School District Tim Waller said the school had counselors at Brookwood Church talking with kids and parents for a few hours following the shooting.
Waller said the school district partners with Greenville Mental Health to put counselors in schools and employs about 90 counselors in the school district.
The sheriff’s office said over 100 deputies responded to the scene. The sheriff’s office helicopter was also seen over the scene.
Investigators were searching the school to make sure everyone is safely out of the building.
OFFICIAL STATEMENTS
The Greenville County School District released the following statement: “At approximately 12:30 pm, Greenville County Schools had reports of shots fired inside the building at Tanglewood Middle School. The school resource officer immediately responded and notified law enforcement. Multiple law enforcement agencies have responded. One student has been transported to the hospital, and their condition is unknown at this time. All students will be transported at Brookwood Church at 580 Brookwood Point Place, Simpsonville, SC 29681, where parents will be reunited with their student. Parents will not be able to pick up their student at Tanglewood. Parents will need to have identification in order to pick up their student. We will share more information as soon as possible.”
Just before 2:30 p.m., Sheriff Hobart Lewis held a press conference. He called the shooting an “absolute tragedy” and said deputies do not know what was going through the mind of the gunman at the time of the shooting.
Lewis said the school went into immediate lockdown after a gunshot was heard. The shooting occurred in the front part of the school. First responders rendered aid to the victim.
Dr. Burke Royster, the superintendent of Greenville County Schools, said pickup at other Greenville County schools would be impacted since buses from other parts of the district are being used to transport Tanglewood Middle School students to the church for pickup.
“Our prayers for those affected by this tragedy - the victim, but all the students in that school, the families, anybody that was in some way impacted by this traumatic event,” Royster said. “We could not have had a better, a more rapid, a more professional or a more in accordance with a planned response by every agency and every entity that responded to this situation.”
In a statement, Royster said: “We are deeply saddened to hear that the student victim in the shooting at Tanglewood Middle School passed away. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, his fellow students, the staff members at the school and everyone who knew this child. This is an absolute tragedy, and we will continue to do whatever we can to support his family and the Tanglewood community as they mourn the young life that was lost today.
“We want to recognize the tremendous response from Principal Walles and the staff at Tanglewood, the school resource officer, Sheriff Hobart Lewis, the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, EMS, and the multiple local, state and federal law enforcement agencies who all responded rapidly in accord with our emergency response plan.”
Dr. Graysen Walles, the principal of Tanglewood Middle School, said in a statement: “My heart goes out to the family of our student who passed away, and my prayers are with them. Our entire Tanglewood family is hurting with this news and from the events that took place today. Our school is mourning and will work together to heal and process this tragedy.”
COMMUNITY RESPONSE
Kelvin, a sixth-grade student at Tanglewood Middle School, described hiding during the shooting.
“I was just scared. We were hiding in the cafeteria,” Kelvin said. “I didn’t know what to do and then the police came in. I thought it was one of the shooters.”
FOX Carolina crews spoke to multiple concerned family members working to get in touch with their children at Tanglewood Middle School.
“They were trying to calm me,” said parent Nacy Trejo. “I was just crying. I was desperate. I wanted to hear from my son.”
Trejo said she believes metal detectors need to be placed at the school.
Bruce Wilson, the founder of Fighting Injustice Together, was at the scene because his niece is a student at Tanglewood Middle School.
“It’s difficult right now, especially a lot of parents are out here right now and they don’t know what’s going on,” Wilson said. “These types of shootings, you see this on television a lot, but when it happens at home and it happens to you, it’s difficult.”
“I wanted to get here as soon as I heard,” said Pastor John Gray. “I wanted to get to the parents because I understand there was some terrible conflict with parents trying to get to their children.”
Gray said his church Relentless Church mentors some of the kids at the school every week.
“So this hits very close to home,” said Gray.
Alexis Ware, a woman whose mother works at Tanglewood Middle School, described finding out about the shooting.
“I was absolutely terrified for my mother and the students,” she said.
Chad Ayers, a former deputy and founder of ProActive Response Group, which teaches active shooter response, described it as “one of the saddest days in Greenville County.”
“This is no longer a topic we can brush under the table and say, ‘This won’t happen here,’” Ayers said. “You have to have a plan. We’ve seen this happen at concerts, at schools. It’s not just school shootings anymore. We are seeing these events on the rise.”

In theory, international music makers should be thrilled about the Grammys being handed out this Sunday.
Instead of one category for global music, there are two, doubling the number of nominations from 5 to 10.
(The new category is called "best global music performance." The Grammy rules says it is "reserved for international performers exhibiting non-European, indigenous traditions.")
But if you look at the list of nominees for the 64th annual awards ceremony, it's not that diverse.
Seven of the nominees are from two nations: Nigeria and Benin.
There are no newcomer countries – places that have never been had a local artist nominated.
What's more, the number of artists is limited: four of the five artists nominated in the brand new global performance category are also nominated in the global album category.
There's not a lot of linguistic variety either.
I would argue that the Grammys inadvertently perpetuate the legacy of colonialism by focusing on countries that were former British colonies and have inherited English as an official language, like India, Nigeria and South Africa. In fact, all five of this year's nominations in the global music album category feature predominantly English language songs.
It's a category I care a lot about – and often have a personal stake in. I've had the honor to record 38 records by artists across Africa, Asia, Europe and South and North America — often in places that are reachable only by boat or on foot. Two of these artists have been nominated for a Grammy – Tinariwen (who went on to win for the album Tassili in 2012) and the Zomba Prison Project in 2016, representing Malawi's first (and only) case of artists receiving a nomination.
Global performers can win in non-global categories. Remember 'Who Let The Dogs Out?'
Now it is true that the so-called "global" categories aren't the only place where an international musician can vie for an award.
There are currently 86 Grammy categories, bestowed by the Recording Academy, a group founded in the U.S. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of nominees are typically from the U.S., Canada and England.
Spanish language performers can not only compete in the global categories but have six categories for their music – plus a whole Grammy program of their own with the Latin Grammys.
Some international musicians are nominated in categories like classical, "small ensemble" and movie scores. And once in a while, an international performer captures a mainstream award – in 1965, for example, the bilingual bossa nova and jazz song "The Girl from Ipanema," performed by Brazil's Astrud Gilberto and saxophonist Stan Getz, was named record of the year.
And "Who Let the Dogs Out" — from the Bahamian group Baha Men — won for best dance record in 2001.
South Korea's hugely popular K-pop boy band BTS has been nominated twice in pop music categories although they've not yet been winner.
The record shows how narrow the list of nominated countries is
But as a rule, the best chance for a Grammy for an international performer is in a global category.
A nomination or win in one of the two global categories can have a tremendous impact. Isabel Soffer, co-founder and co-director of globalFEST— an annual international music festival in the U.S. that features international artists, states: "The Grammys could be a particularly powerful platform to educate, celebrate diversity and foster musical discovery through this extraordinary category in a truly meaningful way.
"The public who may listen to new music through Grammy nominations is cheated out of new sounds from around the world, artists are cheated of new audiences and the opportunity to make money and the world suffers because music, as we all know, is the best way to start to understand the world, re-think differences and create joy."
Yet in the decades the global category has been around — the first year such an award was given was 1992 -- the list of countries that have had a winner or even just a nomination has been scant.
Here are some of the statistics:
*Over two-thirds of the 197 nominations in the history of the global categories have been shared by just six nations: Brazil, India, Mali, Nigeria, South Africa – and the United States. In fact artists from the U.S. have been nominated and won more times in the Global category than any other nation. (Though this is an "international" category, artists from the U.S. have never been excluded from eligibility; this year, for example, Hawaii-born Daniel Ho is a nominee and in past years American rock stars like Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead have won.)
*Overall, only 14 out of 56 African nations have had artists receive a nomination: Benin, Cameroon, Cape Verde, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Morocco, Uganda, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa.
*Countries that have never been on the global music nomination list include: Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, the Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Georgia, Myanmar, Libya, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Vietnam and Yemen.
Some omissions are particularly perplexing. The sonically-innovative, cello-driven Ukrainian group DakhaBrakha which has released seven critically-acclaimed albums since 2005 and racked up almost 3 million views for its video for NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts. Yet they've never registered on the Grammy radar.
"World music, like rock, jazz or classical is an enormous category yet there is a consistent omission of many outstanding artists," notes Isabel Soffer of globalFEST.
So why aren't the winners in the global category more ... globally diverse?
I do know that hundreds of artists in the global arena are eager to be nominated – for the same reasons that any musician is interested in a Grammy nod. The Grammy award is the most prestigious music award. Recognition can bring tremendous exposure for airplay, concert dates – and of course the financial boon that can come along with an award.
This year, nearly 400 candidates were considered for the two global categories, submitted typically by record labels, publicists or the artists themselves. They come from such culturally diverse and far-flung places as China, Comoros, Finland, Tunisia and Venezuela, all nations that have never had a single artist nominated in the global category.
The submissions are reviewed by a small, confidential "screening committee." Next the artists' fate is determined by the official Grammy voters— a group made up mostly of producers, engineers, and artists.
And if you look at the statistics I've cited above, you can see that familiar faces and countries are favored.
I asked the Grammys to comment on these statistics and the current nominees, but they did not respond to my request in time for the posting of this article.
Jimi Hendrix never won a Grammy in his lifetime!
Of course, the Grammys themselves are far from a perfect measure of the best music in all categories. There've been past charges that the process is deeply flawed.
One point is that all "12,000 strong" voting members are eligible to vote in three categories of their choosing if they feel they have expertise in that type of music – but the Recording Academy does not vet their assertion that they are familiar with, say, classical or jazz or "global" sounds. Voters choose three genre fields by their own accord.
And as in any awards, voters may make their selections based not solely on the artistry of a nominee. Some industry insiders allege that voters who work for a label often vote as a block for that label's nominees: giving a possible advantage to a global performer like WizKid. The Nigerian musician, who was nominated twice in the global categories this year, is on the world's second largest label group, Sony Music (RCA).
And it's important to note that with all Grammy awards, the merit of the music is not necessarily the sole determinant of winning an award. A parlor game is easily made of naming fabled performers never as much as nominated for a Grammy during their lifetime— icons like Jimi Hendrix, Fela Kuti, Patsy Cline, Bob Marley, NWA, Cecil Taylor and the Ramones.
Angelique Kidjo's Grammy vision
Angelique Kidjo is arguably the world's most recognized performer in the global realm, has been nominated 3 times this year and has won 4 Grammys.
She's personally seen how the Grammys have grown in importance in the global realm.
"The Grammys have become something really huge in Africa," she told me.
"When I first won a Grammy [2008], there wasn't much knowledge about the award in Africa. Even my father on his deathbed said, 'What is a Grammy?' And I had to explain it to him. And then he looked at me and said, 'Finally you've found a country that recognizes talent.'
Kidjo states, "We need to be really mindful of the importance of international music and representing diversity.
"The thing we have to do to really change things is not just represent all of these places, but from time to time to perform on the TV [awards] show for people to see global musicians.
"That's how the business is built."
And there's no question that international musicians, like all musicians trying to earn a living in their chosen field, can benefit from the exposure. Some of the rural musicians I've worked have told me of the hard lives they lead: a lack of clean water, electricity, reliable transportation and good roads; losing family members to even minor ailments like infected cuts due to struggles locating access to health care; difficulty securing schooling for their children.
The untimely passing this year of northern Ghana musician, Small, who was renowned for his exuberant performances at local funerals and was on the verge of his first international trip, is one of far too many such tales. His family did not have enough money to pay for his own funeral.
But of course these are just a few of the many "global" performers who make glorious music in spite of the hardships they face. To me, this makes especially glaring the Grammys' negligence in not rigorously making room for less-advantaged musicians, particularly the most physically isolated — those from remote rural areas, artists literally living on the margins.
And Angelique Kidjo makes it clear that this is a category that should have a mission: "We've got to educate people to understand that it's not just commercial music that is 'music.' We have music in the global category that is the roots of all the commercial music that people are listening to. It's important to go back and find out where the commercial music you are listening to comes from.
"We need to bring the topic of global music to the forefront of the Grammys. We need to have a constant discussion to improve and get better. The whole world is watching."

Trading in Bitcoin began in 2009 without any source of its management or owner. No one up to this date is aware of who invented this digital coin, however, many speculations and names have popped up. 'Satoshi Nakamoto' is presumed to be the pseudonymous person or persons claiming to be based in Japan, as the inventor of bitcoin. However, these are still not confirmed as of date.

Bitcoin gained popularity in early 2017, and it became the first-ever cryptocurrency to come into actual use. Bitcoin is decentralized and easily available. However, the idea of adopting bitcoin as a means to buy goods and services is still not widely accepted but there are many companies, retailers, and platforms that kept a broader mindset toward using Bitcoin as a medium of exchanging services and payments.

Bitcoin stays the largest cryptocurrency in the market even when it corrected from its all-time high of $$64,863.10 on April 14, 2021. The digital coin has surpassed the market cap of $1 trillion in April last year. However, experts are optimistic about Bitcoin going forward.
But should Bitcoin be used as a means to receive a salary?

Notably, Bitcoins have been created for a process known as mining. They are allowed to be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services, however, the digital coin is criticized for its illegal transactions as well. Not just that, Bitcoin has also been criticized for the large amount of electricity used for mining, price volatility, and thefts on exchanges.
Many renowned experts have referred to Bitcoin as a speculative bubble that will burst eventually. It simply means, that Bitcoin's price has a high volatile frequency, and just like a soap bubble it can burst drastically. However, some experts have seen Bitcoin as the game-changer for the cryptocurrency market and the beginning of a new era in the trading world with a footprint of the blockchain industry expanding.
Some local and national governments have officially started using Bitcoin in some capacity, especially a country called El Salvador which has adopted BTC as a legal tender.

After the wild ride in 2017, Bitcoin's performance motivated many to opt for the coin as payments for goods and services but that idea was soon shunned as regulators across the globe decided to tighten the bolt around cryptocurrency trading.
Last month, the Indian government released stringent tax rules on crypto trading. Lok Sabha approved taxation rules on virtual digital assets (VDAs) or "crypto tax" that was proposed in Budget 2022-23 by clearing the Finance Bill 2022. These new tax rules have become effective from April 01, 2022.
Under the new tax rules, in India, a 30% capital gains tax is imposed on crypto transactions. Further, a loss incurred during the transfer of the virtual asset will no longer be allowed to set off against any income calculated under the “other" provision of the IT Act as the word "other" has been removed. Also, 1% tax deducted at source (TDS) on Indians buying or selling cryptos along with taxes on crypto gifts has been imposed.

On India's tax rules, Probir Roy Chowdhury, Partner, J. Sagar Associates (JSA) said, "While many in the cryptocurrency industry initially welcomed the inclusion of ‘virtual digital assets’ in the Finance Bill, 2022 (“Finance Bill") – heralded as the government’s implicit acceptance of cryptocurrency, a deeper look at the Finance Bill demonstrates the government’s reluctance to encourage growth in this space."
Also, not to forget, no major economy has accepted Bitcoin as a legal tender. Many countries including India are exploring their own mechanisms to launch central bank-backed digital coins (CBDC). RBI will introduce India's digital currency in the financial year FY23.
Further, even though many services are using Bitcoin as an exchange. But, broadly, it is not used. There are many services like groceries, or other goods purchases at local shops where Bitcoin is still a stranger. Bitcoin isn't widely used among the locals, and chances are you will have to still rely on your country's currency for such services.
{{^adFree}}
{{/adFree}}
However, many companies especially e-commerce platforms globally have started to warm up to using Bitcoin as a payment method. However, a wide-scale acceptance is still a far-fetched reality.
Also, many banks have banned in major countries to use of Bitcoin or crypto as payment means. Indian banks have also been cautious about crypto transactions due to its nature of secrecy.
Bitcoin can be used for buying NFTs, buying properties in the virtual world, playing games, and products on e-commerce platforms that have allowed Bitcoin as a payment method.
{{^adFree}}
{{/adFree}}
Bitcoin is an open-source, publicly available without any central bank or regulator backing. So no one controls Bitcoin and everybody can take part in it.

Two years after a shocking hit-and-run in Echo Park was captured on video, showing a driver dragging two pedestrians before fleeing, the Los Angeles Police Department has identified a person of interest.
The fatal crash killed two pedestrians, Morena Del Carmen Alvarado Lopez, 58, and Juan Monroy Bahena, 71.
Officers have identified 46-year-old Angelique Teresa Chaidez as a person of interest, and want to speak with her regarding the crash.
Lopez and Bahena were struck after crossing the street northbound on Sunset Boulevard on the morning of Feb. 24, 2020.
Police said that the victims were dragged about 50 feet after they were hit.
The driver of the vehicle did not stop, try to provide assistance, or identify themselves which is required by law.
Police said that Lopez was pronounced dead at the scene and Bahena died a few days later due to injuries suffered in the crash.
Chaidez has lived in the cities of Whittier, Bell, Covina and Commerce, police said. Police also said she has a warrant out for an unrelated felony.
While she is not yet named as a suspect, police said there is a $50,000 reward for information that leads to a conviction in the case.
Anyone with information on the hit-and-run is asked to call LAPD’s Central Traffic Division at (213) 833-3746 or the 24-hour toll-free number, (877) 527-3247.

FRANKFORT, Ky. – As Kentucky’s winter conditions withdraw, the warmer temperatures bring annual opportunities for hunters to start the season off with fresh success – and fresh meals of locally sourced wild turkey to enjoy.
This year, Kentucky’s statewide hunting seasons kick off with the youth spring turkey season April 2–3. The general spring turkey season opens April 16 and concludes May 8. Kentucky’s spring hunting season is structured to give turkeys ample time to breed before introducing hunting pressure.
Hunters should see more young birds this season than last year, said Zak Danks, wild turkey program coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources.
“We’re anticipating a healthy harvest this spring, as better hatches the past few summers have produced more poults, or young turkeys, that have matured into gobbling adults,” he said.
While two poults per hen is considered a break-even recruitment rate, the statewide 2021 turkey brood survey revealed hens produced an average of 3.2 poults.
“Based on brood survey numbers, hunters can expect to see more jakes in the field that have never been hunted,” Danks said. “We also observed a lot of jakes during our winter turkey research activities.”
Kentucky Fish and Wildlife expanded its turkey monitoring efforts through a new banding study that began earlier this year. Timed to avoid interfering with spring hunting, the department live-trapped, banded, and released at their capture sites 231 turkeys in February and early March.
“After a few years we will have valuable information that we’ve not had before,” Danks explained. “In this first year of the study, our goal was to capture, band and release as many turkeys as possible while learning best practices for future banding efforts. It was an informative year for the program.”
The project will collect population data over a four-year span, supplementing the annual brood survey. Hunters who harvest turkeys with a band on the leg should report it to the department at fw.ky.gov.
New hunters should note that hunter education in Kentucky is returning to in-person range sessions on firearms handling. Hunters planning on using the video submission option to complete their safe live-fire demonstration requirement must complete submissions by May 1. To view hunter education classroom and range opportunities offered by the department, search “Hunter Ed” at fw.ky.gov.
As a reminder, hunters or wildlife watchers cannot use calls that imitate turkeys from March 1 until the opening of the youth-only season, and from the close of that season until the opening of the statewide season. However, hunters may use calls that imitate owls or crows while scouting in the pre-season. Hunters also may not use grains or other bait to attract turkeys from March 1 – May 31.
Hunters are allowed a limit of two bearded or male birds during the spring season, but no more than one may be taken per day. The spring limit does not count toward the fall season bag limit.
Both an annual hunting license plus a spring turkey permit are required for hunting turkeys during the spring season.
Residents may purchase the sportsman’s license at a discounted rate of $95. This comprehensive license includes spring and fall turkey permits, combination hunting and fishing license, deer permit, state migratory bird/waterfowl permit and trout permit. If purchased separately, these licenses and permits would cost $162.
Purchase licenses and permits, search for public lands and view the 2022 Spring Hunting Guide online at fw.ky.gov.
All wild turkey harvests must be reported using the department’s “Telecheck” big game check-in system. This can be done online or via telephone at 800-245-4263 (800-CHK-GAME). Telecheck helps ensure lawful harvests and records important biological data for monitoring harvest trends.
Anyone with knowledge of poaching activities or wildlife violations can use the KFWLaw app or text the keyword “KFWLAW" along with their message or tip to 847411 (tip411). Tips can also be reported by calling 1-800-25-ALERT (1-800-252-5378).
Visit the Spring Turkey Hunting page on Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s website for more information about season dates, the Kentucky Spring Hunting Guide, important reminders, available public land and other turkey hunting resources in Kentucky.

How much does it cost to use an air fryer?
AIR fryers are all the rage, bringing you a quick dinner that's also healthy - but how much do they cost to use?
You can buy a new air fryer pretty cheap if you know where to look, so the purchase shouldn't break the bank - but you might be wondering if it will add to your energy bill.
Home Bargains is selling a nifty four litre air fryer for £45 – nearly £30 cheaper than rivals.
Even cheaper than that is Aldi's £30 version.
And B&M shoppers even spotted another copy slashed in price at the bargains store, after the devices started to attract so much popularity.
But it's important to factor in how much it's going to cost to run once you've found a home for it on the kitchen counter.
The good news, is it's not much.
Sarah Broomfield, energy expert at Uswitch said: “While it could cost around 12p to cook chicken in an oven, it would cost about half that in an air fryer.”
That could be welcome news to homeowners, particularly as energy bills are set to rise after the new price cap came into effect today.
Most households now have to fork out almost £700 a year more than before for their gas and electricity.
Most read in Money
There's plenty of other price rises on the way too, from tax bills and broadband tariffs to the groceries in your next food shop.
So cutting costs from the way you cook dinner could be a welcome way to save some pennies.
We explore exactly how much it would cost to have one of the quirky devices in your home.
How does an air fryer work?
When you use an air fryer, the food goes in a tray or basket and then the machine gets to work.
A heating element provides the heat needed while a fan distributes this around the food, helping it cook quickly and evenly.
Between the heat and the drying effect of the fan, the food will become crispy - and plenty of people consider it to be a much more healthy way to prepare dinner.
How much does it cost to use?
The answer won't be the same for everyone, as what you pay for electricity will depend on your tariff and also how large and efficient your appliance is.
As with any appliance, a newer model is likely to be more efficient, and be cheaper to run than an older version.
The power of an air fryer is measured in watts, and this determines how much energy it uses - and the cost of using it.
But the more powerful the appliance, the quicker it will cook your food too.
The equation you need to work out the cost of using any appliance is: Cost = power (kilowatt) x cost of one kWh (pence) x the length of time (just the one off meal, or over a week or month.)
Some of the cheaper models will typically use around 900 watts.
And you're probably going to need to use it for around 20 minutes to cook your dinner to perfection.
Under the new price cap a kWh, which is 1000 watts, of energy costs 28p, but the short time you'll need the air fryer on means it won't be quite so costly to run.
The experts at Uswitch told The Sun that if you used a 900-watt air fryer for 20 minutes a day, it would cost about 6p per meal.
A larger 1,500-watt air fryer used for around the same amount of time, would cost roughly 10p per meal.
So if you used the smaller fryer five days a week for a year, that would cost a total of £15.60, and around £26 for the larger model.
Is it cheaper than using the oven?
Don't assume that your new gadget is going to save you money as well as calories.
Uswitch's Sarah said: “Depending on their size, some air fryers are similar in power to an oven, but the difference is the amount of time you need to use them."
For example, it can take 20 minutes to get your oven up to temperature, but most air fryers will be ready in just three minutes.
Plus, the cooking time in an air fryer is usually shorter because the area area is smaller, so heats up more quickly.
Two boneless chicken breasts may take 15-18 minutes to cook in an air fryer, compared to half an hour in an oven.
Sarah said: "That means the appliance won't be draining energy for as long a period, which could mean less of a strain on your bills in the long run.
Ovens aren't the biggest energy suck in the home, but they do guzzle a fair amount of electricity, especially if you use them often and for long periods of time.
An air fryer will be smaller and more energy-efficient than a full-sized oven, so you could save money on your bills if you used it for your midweek meals, and save the oven for a single batch-cooking session at the weekend.

By LORNE COOK, SAMUEL PETREQUIN and KEN MORITSUGU
BRUSSELS (AP) — China on Friday renewed its criticism of Western sanctions against Russia, as top European Union officials sought assurances from Beijing that it would not help Moscow circumvent the economic measures imposed in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry also laid blame for the war in Ukraine at least partially on the United States for pushing to expand the NATO military alliance closer to Russia’s borders. Twenty-one of the EU’s 27 countries are also NATO member states.
At a virtual summit, European Council President Charles Michel, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell sought signs from Chinese President and Communist Party leader Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang that Beijing would help to end the war in Ukraine.
Von der Leyen said leaders from both sides “exchanged very clearly opposing views” on many topics but expressed hopes that China would use its influence as a major power and permanent member of the U.N. Security Council to convince Russia it should put an end to the war.
She added that she expects China at least not to interfere with Western sanctions targeting Russia, even if Beijing does not endorse them.
China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian earlier warned at a daily briefing that his country “disapproves of solving problems through sanctions, and we are even more opposed to unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction that have no basis in international law.”
Zhao said when it comes to Ukraine, Beijing would not be forced to “choose a side or adopt a simplistic friend-or-foe approach. We should, in particular, resist the Cold War thinking and bloc confrontation.”
“As the culprit and leading instigator of the Ukraine crisis, the U.S. has led NATO to engage in five rounds of eastward expansion in the last two decades after 1999,” he said, adding that NATO membership almost doubled from 16 to 30 countries, and pushed “Russia to the wall step by step.”
China says it is not taking sides in the conflict but it has declared a “no limits” partnership with Russia and refuses to condemn the invasion. Beijing routinely amplifies Russian disinformation about the conflict, and does not refer to it as an invasion or a war in keeping with Russian practice.
Michel and Von der Leyen did not say whether they received guarantees from Chinese officials that Beijing would not provide financial or military aid to Russia. Von der Leyen insisted that any support to Russia’s ability to wage its war would lead to “a major reputational damage for China” in Europe.
“The business sector is watching very closely the events and evaluating how countries are positioning themselves,” she said. “This is a question of trust, of reliability and of course of decisions on long-term investments.”
In a news release following a first summit session, Li was quoted as affirming the importance of China-EU ties, saying he hoped the two “remain open to each other, steadily expand market access, protect fair competition and promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation.”
“China hopes that the EU will also provide a sound business environment to Chinese businesses investing and developing in Europe,” Li was quoted as saying.
The meeting took place amid rising negative sentiment within the bloc fueled by China’s aggressive foreign policies and trade practices.
Underlying the EU’s expectations for China is the possibility of penalties against Chinese companies that undermine measures taken against Russia. EU officials point out that 13.7% of China’s total trade is done with the 27-nation bloc, and 12% with the United States, compared with just 2.4% with Russia.
Other topics included China’s travel ban on members of the European Parliament; Beijing’s economic boycott of EU member Lithuania over its Taiwan relations; the fate of a stalled investment agreement; and civil and political rights under China’s authoritarian Communist Party regime.
Beijing has dismissed European criticisms as biased and driven by an anti-China agenda being pursued by its chief global rival, the United States.
Beijing also sanctioned some European Union lawmakers last year after the EU, Britain, Canada and the United States launched coordinated sanctions against officials in China over human rights abuses in the far western Xinjiang region.
The European Parliament responded by saying it will not ratify a long-awaited business investment deal as long as the sanctions remain in place.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry official said Saturday that China would continue to support talks on a cease fire, but noted that China’s role should “not be overestimated.” China has little experience as a mediator and has not been asked to play such a role by the main participants.
Director General of the Department of European Affairs Wang Lutong said the EU would have to first eliminate its sanctions on Chinese officials, but said a simultaneous lifting of the measures could also be explored.
Wang also told reporters that if the U.S. were to offer Russia a pledge of no further NATO expansion and no deployment of strategic weapons in Ukraine, then “maybe the issue will get sorted.”
Rights groups have also urged the EU to take a more assertive stand with China over repression in Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong and elsewhere and the persecution of Chinese dissidents including Sakharov Prize winner Ilham Tohti and Chinese-Swedish publisher Gui Minhai.
Highlighting some positive discussions that took place during their summit, von der Leyen said the EU and China can cooperate constructively in the fight against climate change and COVID-19.
Xi was quoted as saying that the “Ukraine crisis has come on top of a protracted COVID-19 pandemic and a faltering global recovery.”
“Against such a backdrop, China and the EU, as two major forces, big markets and great civilizations, should increase communication on their relations and on major issues concerning global peace and development, and play a constructive role in adding stabilizing factors to a turbulent world,” Xi said in a statement.

Veterans of the Falklands War suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are yet to come forward four decades after the conflict began, a charity has warned.
Saturday marked 40 years since Argentinian troops landed on the Falkland Islands in an attempt to conquer what the country claims as its territory and calls the Malvinas.
Britain responded with a naval task force that sailed 8,000 miles to the South Atlantic, landing ground forces on May 21 and liberating the islands within another three weeks.
The fight claimed the lives of 225 British servicemen and 649 Argentinians as well as three civilians.
The average age of British servicemen was 19, meaning that most veterans are likely yet to reach their sixties.
Anniversary could act as a ‘trigger’
Carol Betteridge, the head of clinical and medical services at Help for Heroes and a veteran of Afghanistan, told The Telegraph that some psychological issues take years and decades to emerge and that the anniversary could act as a “trigger”.
“It doesn’t matter what stage, it doesn’t matter if it was 40 years ago, or longer than that, it’s never too late to come forward and ask for that support,” she said.
Speaking at the relaunch of the Imperial War Museum’s Falklands gallery on Friday, Hilary Roberts, a senior curator, said that the war marked a change in attitudes towards trauma.
“It was also a conflict in which people began to reassess the long-term legacy of trauma, and they realised that you didn’t need to go through a global war lasting years to be traumatised, you could go through a 74-day conflict, which ended inconclusively and still suffer long-term effects,” she told The Telegraph.
In the decades after, and accelerated by the Gulf War of 1990-91, there was a significant cultural change within the military and among veterans, bringing greater recognition of PTSD.
For many who served in the Falklands, however, that change came too late.
According to veterans’ group the South Atlantic Medal Association, by 2002 the number of servicemen who had taken their own lives after the war exceeded the number killed during the conflict. The Ministry of Defence later released research that it said disproved that claim, saying the figure was 92.
‘Being okay is just a mask’
Mike Carr, who fought in the Falklands with the 3rd Battalion of the Parachute Regiment, and Paul Benton, who served aboard HMS Invincible, told The Telegraph that at the time there was both very little support and a culture among servicemen of not seeking help.
Being okay is “just a mask”, Mr Carr said. “They need to talk, but that’s not what we did when we were younger, that wasn’t our way.
“Now, it’s still not brilliant, but we’ve got better at it. We [Falklands veterans] didn’t get anything.”
Ms Betteridge said that psychological wounds were not the only legacy of the war. Many veterans continue to suffer from the effects of trench foot, while many Navy servicemen suffered severe burns.
“This anniversary must remember those who serve those that were lost and their families, but we want to look at it as an opportunity for those that perhaps are suffering but haven’t come forward to take the opportunity to ask for help,” said Ms Betteridge.
Those who want help can head to the Help for Heroes website and click “Get Support”.

Bill was born in Syracuse, New York on October 3, 1941 to William H. Cluse and Virginia Townsend.
The family spent many years in Binghamton and eventually moved back to the Syracuse area. Bill attended Broom Tech Community College where he met Donna Theobald, his loving wife of more than 58 years. He also attended and graduated from Syracuse University.
Bill served in the United States Airforce as a Command B52 Pilot. Later, he flew in the Air National Guard with “The Boys from Syracuse,” and then retired as a Lieutenant Colonel.

Bill and Donna raised their family in the Syracuse area before moving to New Jersey. In 1997 Bill and Donna retired to Southport, North Carolina and built their dream house in St. James where they made many wonderful friends. They golfed, boated and traveled the world living the best retirement one could ever imagine.
Bill was a voracious reader and appreciated all genres of music, especially jazz. He enjoyed playing golf with his family and friends. When he first moved to St. James, Bill was a member of the Men’s Golf Association (MGA) and served two terms as president. He was also known for founding and running the Father/Son Golf Tournament.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas appears unlikely to join other states this year in keeping transgender athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s school sports, partly because conservative state lawmakers want the ban to apply to elementary school students.
The Republican-controlled Legislature approved a proposed ban early Saturday with solid majorities in both chambers — but not the two-thirds needed to override an almost-certain veto from Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly. She rejected a similar bill last year, saying it would send “a devastating message that Kansas is not welcoming to all children and their families.”
Republicans nationwide have pushed the issue to appeal to a broad swath of voters, framing it as fairness in competition and access to scholarships. At least 12 other states have enacted such laws, including Arizona and Oklahoma this week. Supporters in Kansas believe the issue grew even more compelling for athletes and their families with the University of Pennsylvania’s Lia Thomas recently becoming the NCAA’s first transgender champion in women’s swimming.
But enough GOP lawmakers in Kansas keep breaking with Republican colleagues that LGBTQ-rights advocates probably will prevail for a second consecutive year. Several of those dissident Republicans said having a ban apply as early as kindergarten is a problem for them. State Sen. John Doll, a western Kansas Republican, has voted both ways and was a “no” early Saturday because he wasn’t able to persuade colleagues last month to exempt elementary school students from the ban.
“To be honest, I don’t know where I’m at with it,” he said Saturday of a ban overall. “When it comes to a veto, I can’t say that I would vote to override the veto.”
The vote Friday night in the House was 74-39, leaving supporters 10 votes short of a two-thirds majority. While a dozen of the House’s 125 members were absent, at least five were likely to vote “no.”
The state Senate’s vote early Saturday was 25-13 and sent the bill to Kelly. But supporters were two votes short of a two-thirds majority, and the Republicans who were absent have split over the proposal in the past.
“The focus now on, again, the very, very young kids who have no concept of ‘transgender’ — it just didn’t feel appropriate,” said state Sen. Brenda Dietrich, a Topeka Republican and a former local school district superintendent who has consistently voted “no.”
Besides attacking proposed bans as anti-LGBTQ discrimination, critics across the U.S. have noted there have been relatively few transgender athletes. In Kansas, the state association overseeing extracurricular activities for grades 7 through 12 says it has been notified of only six or seven transgender athletes in those grades.
Kansas opponents of a ban have accused backers of picking on young children and suggested that schools could be forced to inspect children’s genitals to settle disputes about their participation.
State Rep. Heather Meyer, an Overland Park Democrat, said Friday the bill told transgender children that “they are not valid.” After speaking about her transgender 12-year-old son in sixth grade and their transgender best friend, she wiped her eyes with a tissue as the debate continued.
“This is my child, and I’m going to stand up for them. I’m going to stand up for their friends. I’m going to stand up for their peers,” Meyer said. “This is just wrong.”
Supporters of the bill argued during debates Friday night and into early Saturday that schools could rely on birth certificates and other language to settle disputes.
They also argued that children are entering puberty at younger ages, making the unfair advantages of transgender girls appear earlier.
“It needs to be taken care so things don’t go out of hand,” said Rep. Barbara Wasinger, another Republican from western Kansas.
The bill’s supporters said they are showing support for young girls who want to play sports and older girls who strive for college scholarships. Supporters of a proposed ban often refer to transgender athletes as “biological” boys, men or males.
“It makes me sad that the women in the room don’t realize that we biological women are being bullied,” said Republican Rep. Tatum Lee, also from western Kansas. “We do everything we can to protect those being bullied, and I feel bullied.”
But Democratic state Rep. Stephanie Byers, of Wichita, the state’s first and only elected transgender lawmaker, said that when she returns home, “There will be families that come to my porch and look at me and say, ‘Can you tell us that this is going to be OK?’”
“I promise you, your constituents will write ME, and those letters start with, ‘I would tell my representative, but they won’t listen,’” she added.

One of the more exciting things about the NFL Draft is the trade. Teams are always looking to move up or down, and it is always interesting to see what deals are made on draft day.
With that in mind, Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report released an article breaking down some “top hypothetical trades” for the Cowboys in the 2022 NFL Draft. The first trade features the Cowboys moving up in the draft for an offensive tackle.
Eagles Receive: No. 24 overall, No. 88 overall, 2023 third-round pick
Cowboys Receive: OT Trevor Penning, Northern Iowa (No. 16 overall), 2023 fifth-round pick
While it may not seem like an immediate need this season, offensive tackle is certainly something the Cowboys are going to have to worry about in the near future. After releasing La’el Collins, the Cowboys are set to have Tyron Smith on the left side and Terence Steele on the right side this season.
The 31-year-old veteran Smith once again battled nagging injuries last season, limiting him to playing in just 11 games. Smith has not played a full schedule since 2015, and odds are he’ll never do so again in his career.
On the other side, Terence Steele did play much better last season than he did in his rookie year. His trajectory is trending upwards, but he still did struggle at times in 2021, allowing three or more pressures five times.
If the Cowboys were to make this move with the Eagles and trade up for Northern Iowa tackle Trevor Penning, he likely would be their long-term replacement for Smith at left tackle. Penning could slide in and start at LG this season, and move in to supplant Smith at LT whenever his time in Dallas comes to an end.

The second hypothetical trade features the Cowboys parting with a mid-round pick for a proven veteran receiver.
Texans Receive: No. 88 overall (Third round)
Cowboys Receive: Brandin Cooks
Even after signing James Washington, it seems very likely the Cowboys will add another talented receiver to their roster in the draft. Whether they use a first-, second-, or third-round pick on a wideout, it’s clear they are going to spend premium draft capital on another pass catcher.
However, if the Cowboy were to go a different route and look to trade a draft pick for a proven commodity at the wide receiver spot, this hypothetical trade suggests Brandin Cooks.
Cooks has been one of the more consistent receivers in football since 2015. The former first-round pick has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in six of his last seven seasons in the league and caught 80 or more passes four times. Last season, on an awful Texans team, Cooks still managed to put up an outstanding season, catching 90 passes for 1037 yards and scoring six touchdowns.
Cooks would come at a steep price cap-wise ($16M cap hit in 2022) and he is in the final year of his deal. When you put this in perspective with the fact the Cowboys just dealt Amari Cooper with a $22 million cap hit for a fifth-rounder, the Cooks’ deal doesn’t look like it follows the thinking of the front office.
The deal would make the Cowboys unquestionably better offensively. Cooks would be a weapon on the offensive side of the ball, and a trio of he, CeeDee Lamb, and Michael Gallup would be one of the better receiving trios in football.

The third and final hypothetical trade features the Cowboys once again going after a wide receiver, but this time moving up in the draft for a rookie.
Steelers Receive: No. 24 pick, No. 129 (fourth-round) and No. 155 (fifth-round)
Cowboys Receive: WR Chris Olave (No. 20 overall)
If Chris Olave is available for the Cowboys to select at pick 24, there seems to be at least a decent chance the Cowboys would take him. The former Ohio State Buckeye was one of the notable names on the Cowboys 30-visit list.
Some notable 30-visit names for the Cowboys:
— Jon Machota (@jonmachota) March 31, 2022
Drake London, WR, USC
Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas
Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State
Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah
Jordan Davis, DT, Georgia
Charles Cross, OT, Miss. State
Bernhard Raimann, OT, CMU
Kenyon Green, OG, Texas A&M
Zion Johnson, OG, BC
Olave has seen his draft stock rise after his impressive showing at the combine, running a combine-best 4.26 40-yard dash. He would be a perfect complement to CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup, and his blazing speed is something Dallas’ offense desperately could use.
In this scenario, the Cowboys could just wait and hope that Olave falls four more spots to them at 24, but if the price is not too high moving up to secure him would be a very solid decision.

Bayern have 12 players on pitch after incredible substitution mix-up during 4-1 win over Freiburg as match is temporarily stopped
Bayern Munich briefly played with 12 players on the pitch towards the end of their 4-1 thrashing of Freiburg on Saturday.
The Bavarians were already coasting two goals ahead when the incredible mix-up occurred in the final minutes of the Bundesliga clash.
That numerical irregularity was eventually resolved, causing a considerable delay to the end of the game.
Editors' Picks
What happened?
Just over 80 minutes of Saturday's game had been played when a late Bayern substitution led to chaos on the pitch.
Niklas Sule was sent into the action to replace Corentin Tolisso, who was forced off through illness having himself come on as a substitute.
The defender, however, came on before Kingsley Coman, who was subbed at the same time for Marcel Sabitzer, had been removed from the field, leaving Bayern momentarily with 11 outfielders.
A handful of seconds were played before the game was stopped and the appropriate number of footballers restored - and Sabitzer went on to add a fourth for the visitors before the final whistle.
"Niki Sule came in and I noticed that nobody went off," Freiburg defender Nico Schlotterbeck told Sky after the game.
"Then the game started again, I first counted the players and then informed the referee. If I hadn't done that, I think he wouldn't have noticed."
What caused the mistake?
According to Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann, a mix-up with the electronic substitution boards was to blame, and as soon as the mistake was noted the away side moved to fix it.
Instead of Coman's No.11, the 29 came up, a number that does not belong to any of the Bayern squad.
"It was a vague situation. Coco [Tolisso] had stomach problems and ran into the dressing room. Coman didn't know he had to go off too and stayed on the pitch for eight to nine seconds. It was nothing game changing," he told reporters.
While it was only a short period of time, Freiburg were left furious by the confusion.
"That was an extremely bizarre scene that I have never experienced before. Does that have an impact? I cannot judge now," sporting director Jochen Saier fired.
"The referee evaluated it for a long time, then let play continue. Will Freiburg protest? We have to calm down now and think about it."

LFTD Partners Inc. Reports Record Annual Revenue and Net Income, and Expects 2022 Revenue to Exceed $75 Million
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. , April 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LFTD Partners Inc. ("LFTD Partners" or the "Company") (OTCQB:LIFD), the corporate parent of leading cannabis and psychedelics-lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company Lifted Made, which manufactures the award-winning brand of hemp-derived cannabinoid products Urb Finest Flowers and psychedelics brand Silly Shruum, today reported record revenue for Q4 2021 and full year 2021, and its sixth consecutive quarter of positive GAAP-basis earnings per share.
Financial Highlights - 2021 Fiscal Year
- Revenue grew 492% to $31,656,932, up from $5,344,320 in 2020
- Net income of $5,799,982, up from a loss of $(1,534,589) in 2020
- Basic earnings per share of $0.50, up from a loss per share of $(0.29) in 2020
- Diluted earnings per share of $0.43, up from a diluted loss per share of $(0.29) in 2020
Financial Highlights - Q4 2021
- Revenue up 482% to $12,787,566, up from $2,196,518 in Q4 2020
- Net income up 146% to $1,349,292, up from $549,531 in Q4 2020
- Basic earnings per share up 67% to $0.10 per share, up from basic earnings per share of $0.06 in Q4 2020
- Diluted earnings per share up 300% to $0.08 per share, up from diluted earnings per share of $0.02 in Q4 2020
- Because LFTD Partners has exhausted its historical tax loss carryforwards, Q4 2021 financial results include a first-time accrual for income taxes of $1,367,362. Without this accrual for income taxes, Q4 2021 basic and diluted EPS would have been approximately $0.10 and $0.09 per share higher, respectively
- Because a newly enacted federal law will likely result in a de facto prohibition of synthetic nicotine products by the U.S. FDA, Q4 2021 financial results include a one-time impairment of Lifted Made's investment in tobacco-free nicotine pouch manufacturer SmplyLifted LLC. Without this one-time write-off totaling $388,727, Q4 2021 basic and diluted EPS would have been approximately $0.03 and $0.02 per share higher, respectively
Nicholas S. Warrender, Vice Chairman and COO of LFTD Partners, and founder and CEO of Lifted Made, said, "Our tremendous growth and profitability during 2021 was a reflection of the team and infrastructure that we have built over the years and is a testament to the power of a true consumer-run business. The culture we have created breeds innovation and has set a new benchmark for quality and consumer experience throughout the hemp cannabis industry. Fueled by the momentum of 2021, we expect Q1 2022 to be another record quarter based upon our outstanding sales so far this year, and barring any regulatory setbacks, we expect our 2022 revenue will reach or exceed $75 million. Notably, this 2022 sales projection does not assume any revenue from a groundbreaking new federally compliant psychedelic product that we expect to launch this year that will contain zero cannabinoids and further diversify our portfolio of products."
William C. "Jake" Jacobs, CPA, President and CFO of LFTD Partners, said: "Our balance sheet is strengthening significantly, driven by our EBITDA margin that is typically in excess of 20%. During the past 100 days, we have paid off over $2.5 million of our liabilities and repurchased 100,000 shares of our common stock from an unaffiliated shareholder. And, our cash on hand currently exceeds $4.5 million."
Jake Jacobs continued, "Delta-8-THC is now the principal ingredient in less than 25% of Lifted Made's products, which shows the continuing diversification of Lifted Made's product portfolio. We are continuing to explore a potential borrowing of $5 million or more, that would allow us to prepay our outstanding $2.75 million note payable to Nick Warrender, to purchase Lifted Made's headquarters building in Kenosha for $1.375 million, and to further increase Lifted Made's working capital to facilitate even faster growth. We are also in discussions with our investment bankers regarding a potential listing of our common stock on an exchange, probably sometime later this year."
Gerard M. Jacobs, Chairman and CEO of LFTD Partners, said: "We get approached frequently regarding potential acquisitions of competitors, suppliers and other companies, as well as potential co-branding and joint venture opportunities for our brands. We will continue to explore these situations, preferring immediately accretive deals that would diversify the risk profile of our business and that would add talented entrepreneurs who would thrive in LFTD Partners' decentralized partnership structure."

Tom Latham praises spinners after New Zealand's ODI series win
New Zealand captain Tom Latham believes spinners did a 'fantastic job' to save the innings after they won the three-match ODI series against the Netherlands here in Hamilton on Saturday.

New Zealand captain Tom Latham believes spinners did a 'fantastic job' to save the innings after they won the three-match ODI series against the Netherlands here in Hamilton on Saturday. New Zealand on Saturday defeated the Netherlands by 118 runs and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.
The Netherlands showed a valiant fight against Blackcaps but fell prey to their outstanding bowling attack. NZ Captain Tom Latham put up his career-best on the scoreboard with a magnificent knock of 140 not out of 123 balls. "It was not an ideal situation to come into bat at the start. But, that's cricket and you have to adapt to the situation. We managed to build a few partnerships and bat till the end of 50 overs. The spinners did a fantastic job and saved the innings," said New Zealand captain Tom Latham after the match.
New Zealand's top order fell like a pack of card and were 32 for 5 at one point. Captain Tom Latham avoided the looming disaster with his brilliant performance and helped the team put up a total of 264/9. With the Netherlands failing to chase the total on the board, the birthday boy Latham gifted himself a series win and was adjudged the man of the match. New Zealand will now clash with the Netherlands in the final One-Day International game on April 4, 2022.
Brief Scores: New Zealand 264/9 (Latham 140*, van Beek 4-56, Klaassen 3-36) vs Netherlands 146/10 (de Leede 37, M Bracewell 3-13, Sodhi 2-17) by 118 runs. (ANI)

Which raised garden bed with cover is best?
Raised garden beds with covers are an excellent way to make gardening more comfortable and decrease the likelihood of your plants dying. These covered beds come in all shapes and sizes to fit whatever plants you plan on growing. Purchasing a raised garden bed and cover together saves money and saves you the hassle of trying to find a matching cover for a separate bed.
The best raised garden bed with a cover is the Palram Plant Inn Raised Garden Bed with Cover. It’s high enough to use while standing and includes a huge, protected storage area underneath.
What to know before you buy a raised garden bed with cover
The bed
Between the raised garden bed and a cover, the garden bed is the more important of the two. There are a few aspects to consider.
- Dimensions: You’ll want a garden bed with enough width, length and depth to plant everything you intend to grow. Some plants require equal depth to height, while others are tall due to wide roots and don’t need as much depth.
- Material: Gardening companies usually make garden beds out of plastic, fabric, metal or wood. Plastic is low-cost but offers less durability. Fabric is even cheaper and lower-quality, but it may be a good choice for those who don’t have a yard. Metal is the most durable but doesn’t have the best aesthetics. Wood is the most aesthetically pleasing and durable option. Keep in mind different types of wood have different levels of durability.
The cover
Most garden bed covers are sheets of thin, soft plastic. Some bigger beds may need thick, hard plastic instead. Thin sheets of plastic are the more affordable option. Most of these sheets have zip-open windows that fold up for easy access to the bed. Thick, hard plastic covers usually have hinges or slide open and closed.
Regardless of the material, the function is always the same: to provide protection from inhospitable weather, hungry animals and pesky insects. Many covers also offer a greenhouse effect to keep plants warm. Pay close attention to this aspect as some plants may or may not need this feature.
What to look for in a quality raised garden bed with cover
Assembly
Most raised garden beds with covers require some assembly and may require additional tools. A few of the smaller beds ship whole, but setting up the cover is still likely to require some assembly.
Self-watering
Some raised garden beds have automatic watering systems that keep your plants hydrated. Simply fill the water tank and let it work. These functions are perfect for gardeners who travel frequently. It can also benefit inexperienced gardeners by preventing over- and under-watering.
Wheels
If you plan on repositioning your raised garden beds for aesthetic reasons or changing seasons, pick a bed with wheels. Once you’ve filled a nonwheeled bed with soil and plant life, you won’t be able to move it.
How much you can expect to spend on a raised garden bed with cover
Raised garden beds with covers are more expensive than those without. At a minimum, they cost $100, though most cost $200-$300. Extra-large beds may cost up to $500.
Raised garden bed with cover FAQ
Should I buy a raised garden bed with cover or buy the cover later?
A. You don’t have to buy the bed and cover together, but it can be difficult to find a cover to match your bed after the fact. Plus, most included covers aren’t an optional extra; they’re specially designed for that bed. You could also build your own cover if you have the grit, tools and know-how.
Where should I place a raised garden bed with cover?
A. There aren’t many restrictions on where you can place your new garden bed. The bare minimum is a location with plenty of direct sunlight, preferably six hours worth throughout the day. Other than this, feel free to place it based on your preferences.
What kind of plants should I put in a raised garden bed with cover?
A. Whatever you’d like! Raised garden beds are capable of growing almost anything. If you’ve never gardened before, start small by planting some of your favorite flowers. Once you feel more comfortable with gardening, try planting fruits and vegetables.

LONDON (AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE) - Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has declared that the Premier League is the "most important" competition he wants to win, as Diogo Jota's header and a late Fabinho penalty saw off Watford 2-0 at Anfield on Saturday (April 2).
The Reds started the day in second place on 69 points, one behind leaders Manchester City. The win moved them to the top temporarily but hours later, Pep Guardiola’s men reclaimed their spot with a 2-0 victory at Burnley.
With just a point separating Liverpool and City, the pressure of the title race is at its highest ahead of the clash between the top two at the Etihad next Sunday.
"This week can decide a lot about how May will be. The boys created a top-class basis and now we have to use it. It's a tricky one," Klopp said on BBC Sport.
"There's a reason why it's so difficult to win one trophy. We have to take it game by game. Take it 100 per cent in each game. Hopefully we keep all the boys fit and we can make changes between games. The Premier League is the most important competition."
The visit of the Hornets kicked off a huge month for Klopp's men - who have already won the League Cup - as they remain in the hunt for a historic quadruple.
The potential title decider away to City next weekend falls in between both legs of a Champions League quarter-final against Benfica before another meeting with City in the FA Cup semi-finals.
But Liverpool did not allow those distractions to affect them yesterday, dominating the clash with Watford with 74 per cent possession.
"It was a performance in the right moments," added Klopp.
"We could have done better but after two weeks not together and the early kick-off it's really tricky. But all teams have the same problems. I don't think after the international break I ever see the best game of the season.
"But we were very mature and very controlled."
The Liverpool boss could afford the luxury of leaving Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane on the bench after their exertions on international duty, alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold on his return from injury.
However, the hosts did not have the easy afternoon Klopp would have hoped for against the relegation-threatened Watford.
Alexander-Arnold's deputy, Joe Gomez, swung in a cross in the 22nd minute and Jota nipped in ahead of goalkeeper Ben Foster to head in his 20th goal of the season.
But there was a nervousness around Anfield as the Hornets refused to wilt and had a glorious chance to equalise after the break.
Senegal winger Ismaila Sarr created the danger with a burst down the left and his cutback was slotted wide by Joao Pedro.
Liverpool had to wait until a minute from time to get the two-goal cushion they desired when Juraj Kucka wrestled Jota to the ground from a corner.
A penalty was given following a check by the video assistant referee (VAR) and Fabinho took responsibility from Mohamed Salah - who was already substituted - and smashed into the top corner to secure the Reds' 10th consecutive Premier League win.
"There was a lot to admire in the performance. I'm a little bit saddened by that VAR decision at the end," Watford boss Roy Hodgson said on BT Sport.
"There was no appeal from any Liverpool player for a penalty. We might even have created a chance in those last two minutes.
"So that's the only sad note for me, but I'm very pleased with the players' performance because there's no doubt it wasn't a walk in the park for Liverpool."
Over at Turf Moor, it took for Kevin de Bruyne just five minutes to push Man City back to the top of the Premier League table yesterday. The Belgian midfielder found the roof of the net following a Raheem Sterling assist.
Ilkay Gundogan then made it 2-0 20 minutes later, unleashing a first-time shot from inside the box that beat goalkeeper Nick Pope. Gabriel Jesus failed to score a third for City with 11 minutes to go, smacking his shot against the post.
Guardiola will now be turning his attention to the Champions League quarter-final, first-leg clash with reigning La Liga champions Atletico Madrid at the Etihad on Tuesday, before the big home clash with Liverpool next weekend.
City are unbeaten in their last four Premier League games against the Reds – two wins, two draws – with their last meeting a 2-2 stalemate at Anfield.

BERN (AFP) - Thousands of people braved a surprise spring snowstorm in the Swiss capital Bern on Saturday (April 2) to demand an end to Russia's devastating war in Ukraine.
In a sea of blue and yellow of the Ukrainian flag, with a rainbow-coloured sprinkling of PEACE banners, around 10,000 demonstrators marched through the city, according to organisers.
"We are all Ukrainian civilians," read one banner, held by a woman bundled up in a winter coat and wool hat marching towards the Federal Palace, which houses the Swiss government and Parliament.
"I am Russian, I am against war. Putin is Murderer," one cardboard sign read, while another stated: "I'm Russian, I stand with Ukraine."
Benoit Gaillard, a representative of the USS union which co-organised the march, told AFP that the fact that "10,000 people braved the cold" showed that "this war has left no one indifferent".
Just over five weeks into the invasion, thousands have been killed and millions displaced as parts of Ukraine have been reduced to rubble.
"We need everyone to be in solidarity with us," said Hanna Perekhoda, a Ukrainian student at Lausanne university and member of the Swiss-Ukraine support committee.
"Ukraine is protecting Europe, protecting democracy and the world against the authoritarian dictatorship of Vladimir Putin," she told AFP.
Tighten sanctions
The demonstration was aimed at pushing Switzerland to actively engage in efforts to secure a ceasefire and a full withdrawal of Russian forces, organisers said.
The demonstrators were also demanding more support for Ukrainian refugees, and for further sanctions on Russia, including reducing dependence on Russian oil and gas.
"Peace now, No gas, No war," one large banner read, while a woman held up a sign with a picture of Putin with a red handprint across his face demanding "Stop trade with terrorist".
Switzerland is not in the EU and has a long-standing tradition of neutrality on matters of war. It has nevertheless been aligning itself with the waves of EU sanctions imposed following Russia's Feb 24 invasion of Ukraine.
Switzerland said last month it had frozen the equivalent of 5.75 billion Swiss francs (S$8.4 billion) in Russian assets since the invasion began.
But Kyiv has been pressing Switzerland, a favoured destination for wealthy Russians and their assets, to do more.
"Russian oligarchs have their money here in Switzerland, in Swiss banks, so Switzerland is a key place to stop this war," Perekhoda said.
"The Swiss government must take this responsibility and freeze all the assets of Russian oligarchs who finance this bloody war."
