STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (PIX11) — A teenage girl from Queens who had been missing for six months turned up at a Staten Island police precinct early Friday morning, telling cops she escaped sex traffickers who had raped and drugged her.
“She was being held with two other girls,” the 15-year-old’s mother told PIX11 News Friday. “She’s at the hospital on Staten Island.”
PIX11 News had profiled the story of the girl from Forest Hills twice, as part of regular reports on The Missing.
A law enforcement source confirmed she turned up at the 121st Precinct Friday morning.
The girl was 14 years old when she disappeared on Oct. 13.
Her father was driving throughout the five boroughs, traveling as far away as New Jersey and Pennsylvania, to search for the teen.
“They were holding her first in Brooklyn,” the mother said of two men who allegedly kidnapped her daughter, “and then they passed her on to someone else… The only thing I know is that it was in New Jersey.”
The mother later told PIX11 News some men had the daughter in a car traveling from New Jersey to Staten Island around midnight Thursday, when they “threw her out of the car and threatened her.”
The law enforcement source confirmed that the teen, who only turned 15 this week, went to the 121st Precinct in the early hours of Friday morning. Detectives from the NYPD’s Human Trafficking Unit were expected to interview the girl.
The mother said her daughter and the two other girls had been sexually assaulted and drugged by the men who were holding them.
“She said they had them in separate rooms and had the doors locked,” the mother said, quoting her daughter. “… she don’t know the girls, because they always had them separated.”
The mom said her daughter and the other victims were “locked up, drugged up, and had ‘men coming in and out.'”
Somehow, the teen found a way out. The girl reportedly was running on the streets of Staten Island and asked a woman to direct her to a precinct.
The mother said her daughter told the woman, “‘I’ve been kidnapped and raped and these people are trying to hurt me.'”
The mom said she spoke to her daughter on FaceTime, after the girl was taken to a Staten Island hospital.
“She lost a lot of weight,” the mother said. “I can tell on her face that she got scars where they dragged her and did stuff to her.”
The teen’s case received national attention after PIX11 News reported her story. PIX11 News was contacted by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, who asked them to profile the girl’s case.
The girl’s mother had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer when her daughter disappeared. The teen had gone missing for brief periods before.
Her father said he used his daughter’s phone and social media contacts to try and trace her movements, saying she met some bad people while playing games on a popular basketball app. | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/missing-ny-teen-escaped-sex-traffickers-mom-says/ | 2022-04-17T18:31:16Z | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/missing-ny-teen-escaped-sex-traffickers-mom-says/ | false | 37 |
HELENA, Mont. - A recent groundwater study has found that more than half the homes using well water in the Birdseye area northwest of Helena had high arsenic levels.
Seventeen homes were sampled in the Birdseye area, and 53 percent were found to have arsenic levels above the EPA standard of 0.010 micrograms per liter according to Lewis and Clark Public Health (LCPH).
The health department also said that, within the broader water quality protection district, 19 percent of the 297 homes sampled had arsenic levels above the standard.
Staff from the Lewis and Clark County Water Quality Protection District (WQPD) will discuss the study findings and other items with residents and answer any questions at a public meeting at 6:00 pm, April 21, 2022, at the Birdseye Fire Station located at 5316 Birdseye Road in Helena.
According to LCPH, there are natural sources of arsenic in the area, and that the high levels of arsenic are not a surprise due to the sources in the area, but there are solutions to help decrease the consumption of arsenic.
“The WQPD is conducting arsenic studies to further understand the prevalence within the district by looking at relationships between surface water and shallow groundwater wells and to investigate the arsenic concentrations in different geologic rock units surrounding the valley,” LCPH said.
If you have any questions or concerns about arsenic in the Helena Valley or other water-related questions, such as well testing, can contact the WQPD at (406) 457-8585 or stop in the offices located in the City / County Building, 316 N. Park Avenue in Helena. | https://www.montanarightnow.com/helena/study-over-50-of-homes-using-well-water-in-birdseye-area-near-helena-have-high/article_cb5ffbf6-be71-11ec-9140-ab80f1393668.html | 2022-04-17T18:32:22Z | https://www.montanarightnow.com/helena/study-over-50-of-homes-using-well-water-in-birdseye-area-near-helena-have-high/article_cb5ffbf6-be71-11ec-9140-ab80f1393668.html | true | 1 |
Mitchell, Jazz win opener 99-93 as Mavs play without Doncic
Posted/updated on: April 17, 2022 at 8:15 amDALLAS (AP) – Donovan Mitchell scored 30 of his 32 points after halftime, Bojan Bogdanovic finished with 26, and the Utah Jazz opened the NBA playoffs with a 99-93 victory over Dallas. The Mavericks were without injured two-time All-Star guard Luka Doncic. The fourth-seeded Mavericks started the playoffs at home for the first time since their NBA title season 11 years ago. Doncic was out with a strained left calf and is day to day. Game 2 is Monday night. Jalen Brunson had 24 points for Dallas and Spencer Dinwiddie 22. | https://ktbb.com/post/?p=1117664 | 2022-04-17T18:32:51Z | https://ktbb.com/post/?p=1117664 | true | null |
Publicis Groupe plans to increase salaries by about 4% globally in 2022 to help employees to cope with the rising cost of living, while the jobs churn across the agency sector “has slowed down a bit” after the upheaval of "The Great Resignation” in 2021.
That’s according to Arthur Sadoun, the chief executive and chairman of Publicis Groupe, who gave a “confident” but measured assessment of the year so far in a video interview with Campaign from his office in Paris at its Q1 results.
Organic revenues rose a better than expected 10.5% in the first three months of the year but Sadoun is sticking with his previous forecast for growth of between 4% and 5% for the full year because there is “too much uncertainty”.
Factors include Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, rapidly rising inflation and the continued impact of the pandemic.
Analysts at Citigroup said: “A degree of conservatism makes sense [rather than Publicis Groupe upgrading its growth forecasts] given significant macro-uncertainty.”
Sadoun, who has been CEO of the 87,000-strong French agency group since 2017, also talked about “a tough couple of weeks” after he was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour in his neck and had it removed. He is now recuperating.
Campaign: A lot has happened in the world since Publicis Groupe reported its Q4 2021 results on 3 February. Russia invaded Ukraine, inflation has risen further and stock markets have fallen. How much did all of that affect your Q1 performance and your outlook for the rest of 2022?
Sadoun: Despite this very challenging context, we had a great start to the year financially and commercially. All of our regions performed well, and we delivered 10.5% [organic] growth in Q1 when the market was expecting us at 6.3%. Once again, we are proving our ability to capture the shift in client spend towards first-party data management, dynamic content, digital media and commerce.
This is particularly true in business transformation, where [consulting arm] Publicis Sapient saw strong acceleration this quarter at 18.5%, confirming our clients’ imperative to build their own direct-to-consumer experiences. This momentum should continue in Q2 and makes us confident of delivering on the upper end of the targets we set at the beginning of the year.
The cost of living has become a major issue in many parts of the world. In February, you announced a “bonus for everyone” who had worked at the company for the past two years. But what are you doing about salary increases for staff in 2022? One of your peers (WPP) has talked about giving an average salary increase of 4%.
We believe in rewarding the many, not just the few. This is why we were the only holding company to reimburse every salary sacrifice made in 2020, as we performed way better than expected, and are giving a bonus to everyone in 2021, as we had a very good year.
When it comes to 2022, we will definitely see some salary increases and on average, we are around 4% too. But this number alone isn’t very telling, we also believe in rewarding right. What counts is making sure we can respond effectively to local inflation impact, which varies greatly from one market to another. Our country-led model is helping a lot on that front.
Have you seen any evidence that the amount of employee churn and people moving jobs has slowed down in 2022 or is it similar to 2021?
It has slowed down a bit, but talent retention is still one of the major challenges for our industry. We know and accept that the world of work has changed. That is why we are actively redesigning our employee experience with flexibility, wellness and enrichment in mind.
The latest example of that is Work Your World [a global flexible working policy]. We already have thousands of people who are planning to spend six weeks working from a new location [away from their main office location] this year.
Publicis Media has had a strong new-business record, including McDonald’s in the US, LVMH in the UK and France and PepsiCo in China this year. Why has Publicis Media been performing well? And will you disclose the exact growth percentage, as WPP and Dentsu have started doing at a global level?
We also disclose growth percentage, by expertise and by countries. To give you one example, thanks to the dynamic you mentioned, Media is growing double digits in the US this quarter.
For us, we look at new-business records holistically – what we have won, what we have retained, what we have accomplished working as the Power of One. Once again, Publicis Groupe has topped all the new-business rankings [for JPMorgan, COMvergence and Recma] in 2021, which is the third time in four years.
What we have not lost is just as important because retaining clients is the truest expression of the strength of your model. When you start to look at that, 2020 and 2021 are pretty telling for the industry.
You made an interesting comment at the Q4 results when you told investors that “it becomes more difficult every day to separate creative from media”. Can you explain further what that means – for example, is that translating into more client assignments?
I have been going easy on investors actually. I don’t think it is going to be more difficult – to be honest, it’s just “effective marketing” in today’s platform world – where data, creative, media and tech intertwine seamlessly. That is the only way to deliver creative, personalised, omnichannel experiences at scale. This is exactly what our clients need, to continue to grow while reducing their costs.
How big an opportunity is retail media? When you bought CitrusAd, a specialist company, last year, you talked about “exponential growth” and how retail media is “expected to exceed media investments in traditional television” by 2025. How much is this about clients reallocating their media budgets? Or is it new money coming from other budgets?
For sure, by 2025 our CPG [consumer packaged goods] clients are expected to spend more advertising on retail media than on linear TV in the US. Retail media is already outpacing the spend on YouTube [in terms of ad sales] and Netflix [in terms of subscription revenue].
This is going to be a massive shift, that is well expressed in the growth of CitrusAd, above 100%. Clients will reallocate budget from their traditional media spend or from promotions, but the market also currently expects at least 30% of growth to come from net new investment, as it will definitely be a very powerful tool for growth.
With retail media, brands can get direct access to customers at the point of purchase, providing invaluable data and measurement, opening a new era in their partnerships with retailers and marketplaces.
Publicis Groupe said on 15 March that it was pulling out of Russia and passing ownership of its agencies to local management, with immediate effect. You have also reported an €87 million one-off loss from the disposal of the business at these results. Can you give us an update on how your exit from Russia is progressing?
Our exit from Russia is complete. In this instance, it was important for us to take an approach that was people-first, not PR-first. That is why we took the necessary time to find a solution to secure a future for our 1,200 Russian employees, while taking strong actions that fully respond to the gravity of the current situation.
What about some of Publicis Groupe’s global clients that continue to operate and advertise in Russia? Are they still using the former Publicis operation that is now under local management? Have you tried to persuade these clients to exit Russia?
We fully condemn the Russian state’s unilateral aggression against Ukraine, and none of our clients need our encouragement to take the right moral steps in this situation. That said, depending on the nature of their business, for many, the process of reviewing, suspending or stopping their activities takes time.
There is a lot of talk about how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine means globalisation has changed fundamentally and we are moving to a multi-polar world with greater trade barriers. Generally, free trade has been good for global advertising. How worried should the global ad industry be? Will this mean lower global growth for the sector in the medium term?
If the last two years have taught us anything, between a pandemic no-one saw coming, and a war no-one predicted, it’s that we should be very careful in trying to make definitive statements about the future. All we can do is prepare our people to have the skills and the will to embrace change and the past years have shown that they are ready for whatever the future holds.
France is electing a President on 24 April. As a French company, what is Publicis Groupe’s view about Emmanuel Macron versus Marine Le Pen? Do you have any hopes or concerns?
It is a very important moment for the nation and I am not going to speculate on the future result of this election.
You recently told staff that you have been treated for a cancerous tumour in your neck and will stay in Paris until June. We wish you well. How is your treatment going and do you plan to do things differently as CEO in future?
Thank you, it’s good to be back to the office and back to normal after a tough couple of weeks. I’ll be travelling in the coming days and then, as you say, staying in Paris until June. I think that is enough of a change for now. | https://www.campaignasia.com/article/arthur-sadoun-on-publicis-q1-growth-pay-rises-jobs-churn-and-cancer/477256 | 2022-04-17T18:35:11Z | https://www.campaignasia.com/article/arthur-sadoun-on-publicis-q1-growth-pay-rises-jobs-churn-and-cancer/477256 | true | 3 |

LAWRENCE, Mass. (AP) — A wind-fueled blaze that damaged several homes Friday night in Lawrence displaced more than 70 people but resulted in no injuries — a result that led one local leader to call it an “Easter miracle.”
In all, 73 people belonging to 17 different families are residing in temporary housing following the blaze, Lawrence officials said Saturday.
Fire officials said they believe the fire started on the third-floor balcony of a home in Lawrence before spreading to five other nearby residences. They said high winds helped the fire spread quickly in the densely settled neighborhood.
All residents were safely evacuated and no injuries were reported. No pets were reported missing or injured either.
“An Easter miracle,” said City Council President Marc Laplante. “It’s amazing that we were able to walk away from this.”
Crews from fire departments in Massachusetts and New Hampshire worked for more than three hours to extinguish the fire. The Red Cross is providing housing and assistance to the occupants of the damaged homes, and local community groups are helping to coordinate donations. | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Easter-Miracle-Blaze-displaced-73-but-caused-17086740.php | 2022-04-17T18:48:58Z | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Easter-Miracle-Blaze-displaced-73-but-caused-17086740.php | false | 12 |
Austin Pets Alive! in need of adopters, fosters for 20 canine parvovirus survivors
AUSTIN, Texas - If you're looking to adopt a dog, Easter Sunday may be your chance!
Austin Pets Alive! is urgently looking for fosters and adopters for 20 puppies that have completed their canine parvovirus treatment at the rescue's Puppy Parvo ICU. There are 16 puppies that have all tested positive for parvovirus waiting for treatment, but APA! says it currently has no space for them.
Anyone interested in adopting or fostering one of these puppies can go to APA!'s Town Lake Adoption Center today from noon until 6 p.m.
APA!'s Town Lake Adoption Center is home to the Puppy Parvo ICU, which helps APA! save around 500 lives each year from all over Texas. Over 90% of APA!'s parvo patients leave the ICU healthy and ready for new homes. APA! says the Puppy Parvo ICU is the first of its kind in the nation and also hosts students to share knowledge and provide other shelters and rescues across the country with the information they need to help save dogs with parvo.
APA! has also teamed up with Thrive Pet Healthcare where adopted pets can be enrolled in an annual Thrive Plus Membership with the first six months free. The membership includes free unlimited veterinary exams and unlimited $5 nail trims, as well as other benefits.
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, canine parvovirus is highly contagious and can affect all dogs, but unvaccinated dogs and puppies younger than four months old are the most at risk. The virus affects dogs' gastrointestinal tracts and is spread by direct dog-to-dog contact and contact with contaminated feces, environments, or people. The virus can also contaminate kennel surfaces, food and water bowls, collars and leashes, and the hands and clothing of people who handle infected dogs.
The virus is resistant to heat, cold, humidity, and drying, and can survive in the environment for long periods of time, says the AVMA. Even trace amounts of feces from an infected dog may contain the virus and infect other dogs. The virus is readily transmitted from place to place on the hair or feet of dogs or via contaminated cages, shoes, or other objects.
Some signs of parvovirus include:
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
- Abdominal pain and bloating
- Fever or low body temperature (hypothermia)
- Vomiting
- Severe, often bloody, diarrhea
Persistent vomiting and diarrhea can cause rapid dehydration, and damage to the intestines and immune system can cause septic shock, says the AVMA.
Most deaths from parvovirus occur within 48 to 72 hours following the onset of clinical signs, says the AVMA. Pet owners who see any of these signs are advised to contact their veterinarian immediately.
APA! says the best way to prevent parvovirus is to vaccinate dogs and puppies. Puppies can be given a 5-in-1 vaccine called DHLPP (which protects the puppy from distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza) or a 4-in-1 DAPP (which protects against canine distemper, adenovirus type 2, parainfluenza, and the parvovirus) at their local vet. The first vaccine is ideally given between 6 and 8 weeks of age, with boosters given at 3-week intervals until the puppy is at least 4 months old.

APA! advises that until the vaccination series is complete, puppies should stay away from all potentially infected public ground, where other dogs have walked and fecal matter may be present, like dog parks, hike and bike trails, and sidewalks.

BALTIMORE (AP) — A container ship the length of more than three football fields has finally been pried from the muddy bottom of the Chesapeake Bay more than a month after it ran aground.
After two unsuccessful attempts to dislodge it, and the subsequent removal of roughly 500 of the 5,000 containers it was carrying, the Ever Forward was refloated just before 7 a.m. Sunday by two barges and five tugboats.
A full moon and high spring tide helped provide a lift to the salvage vessels as they pulled and pushed the massive ship from the mud, across a dredged hole and back into the shipping channel.
Once refloated, the Ever Forward was weighed down again by water tanks to ensure safe passage under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on its way to an anchorage off Annapolis, The Baltimore Sun reported.
Marine inspectors will examine the ship’s hull before the Coast Guard allows it to return to the Port of Baltimore to retrieve the offloaded containers.
The cargo ship, operated by Taiwan-based Evergreen Marine Corp., was traveling from Baltimore to Norfolk, Virginia, on March 13, when it ran aground just north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
Officials have said the grounding did not result in reports of injuries, damage or pollution. The Coast Guard has not said what caused the Ever Forward to run aground.
The ship became stuck outside the shipping channel and did not block marine navigation, unlike last year’s high-profile grounding in the Suez Canal of its sister vessel, the Ever Given. That incident disrupted ship traffic and the global supply chain for days.
Salvage crews continued to offload containers from the Ever Forward until 10:30 p.m. Saturday. The containers were placed onto barges and taken to Baltimore’s Seagirt Marine Terminal.
After two failed efforts to free the more than 1,000-foot (305-meter) vessel, salvage experts determined earlier this month that unloading some of the containers offered the best chance to refloat it. Crews also continued dredging to a depth of 43 feet (13 meters) around the vessel. | https://cw39.com/news/u-s-news/ap-u-s-news/stuck-container-ship-in-chesapeake-bay-finally-refloated/ | 2022-04-17T19:01:18Z | https://cw39.com/news/u-s-news/ap-u-s-news/stuck-container-ship-in-chesapeake-bay-finally-refloated/ | true | 24 |
It’s a convergence that happens only rarely. Coinciding with Judaism’s Passover, Christianity’s Easter and Islam’s holy month of Ramadan, Buddhists, Baha’is, Sikhs, Jains and Hindus also are celebrating their holy days in April.
The springtime collision of religious holidays is inspiring a range of interfaith events. In Chicago, there’s the Interfaith Trolley Tour coming up on April 24, in which a trolley will make stops at different faiths’ houses of worship. In cities across the country, Muslims are inviting people to interfaith iftars so they can break their daily Ramadan fasts in community with their non-Muslim neighbors.
In addition to Passover, Easter and Ramadan, holy days occurring in April this year include the Sikhs’ and Hindus’ Vaisakhi, the Jains’ Mahavir Jayanti, the Baha’i festival of Ridvan, and the Theravada Buddhist New Year.
Across faiths, the celebration of the overlapping holy days and religious festivals is seen as a chance to share meals and rituals. For some, it’s also a chance to learn how to cooperate among faith traditions on crucial issues, including how to help curb climate change, fight religious intolerance, and assist people fleeing Afghanistan, Ukraine and other nations during the global refugee crisis.
“The rare convergence of such a wide array of holy days is an opportunity for all of us to share what we hold sacred with our neighbors from other traditions as a way of building understanding and bridging divides,” said Eboo Patel, the founder and president of Interfaith America, previously known as Interfaith Youth Core. “This is Interfaith America in microcosm.”
On Chicago’s south side, the upcoming trolley tour is intended to teach participants about this year’s April holidays, which are converging for the first time in the same month since 1991, said Kim Schultz, coordinator of creative initiatives at the Chicago Theological Seminary’s InterReligious Institute.
The trolley will stop at several sacred spaces, including a Baptist church, a mosque and a synagogue, and will end with an iftar at sunset catered by recently resettled Afghan refugees.
“We’re asking people to take advantage of this confluence, the convergence … more than half of the world is celebrating or commemorating the critical moment in our faith traditions,” said Hind Makki director of recruitment and communications at American Islamic College.
The event is sponsored by the American Islamic College, the Chicago Theological Seminary, the Center of Christian-Muslim Engagement for Peace and Justice at the Lutheran School of Theology, the Hyde Park & Kenwood Interfaith Council and the Parliament of the World’s Religions. After more than two years of COVID-19 restrictions that upended many holidays, followers are eager to meet in person again.
Organizers of the Chicago event said they had arranged for a trolley that would carry 25 people, but there was so much interest across faiths that they had to arrange for a bigger trolley for 40 people instead. And then, when more kept joining, a second trolley.
“This is a great time,” Makki said. “So, why not take the opportunity to learn about each other’s traditions, to learn about each other through those traditions.”
As part of the month’s celebrations, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA opened its mosques to host dozens of interfaith iftars in cities across the nation centered on the theme of ‘justice through compassion.’
“During our gatherings across 35 cities we emphasized that the world that we see now stands on the brink of a world war,” said Amjad Mahmood Khan, national director of public affairs for Ahmadiyya. “And only the collective prayers and actions of the faithful can really save humanity from self-destruction.”
Faith leaders from Christian, Jewish, Sikh and Hindu faiths gathered recently for a virtual panel celebrating the convergence of their sacred observances. Among the issues discussed were shared concerns over the rise of white Christian Nationalism and legislation in Arizona and Florida that they criticized for marginalizing LGBTQ young people.
“We see that convergence as highly symbolic, maybe even divinely ordained as our people need to reaffirm our shared values of love, freedom and justice in order to disrupt white Christian Nationalists’ attempts to decide what ideas, identities and practices are valued and respected,” said the Rev. Jennifer Butler, founder and chief executive of the Washington-based multifaith group Faith in Public Life.
“This sacred season presents the opportunity for solidarity, for prophetic witness as we lament the rise of intolerance and discriminatory laws that threaten our nation’s quest to be a multiracial and multireligious democracy,” she said.
It will also be an important moment for members of different faiths to find common ground in the runup to the U.S. midterm elections, said Nina Fernando, executive director of the Shoulder to Shoulder campaign, a multifaith national coalition committed to countering and preventing anti-Muslim discrimination.
“With the time that we’re living where essentially we’re polarized and divided among racial and religious and political lines, we can take this opportunity to talk about how to live well together amidst our diversity and talk about these holidays overlapping,” Fernando said.
The convergence of the holidays also offers a chance to dispel misconceptions about faith traditions and appreciate shared values, said the Rev. Stephen Avino, executive director of the Parliament for World Religions.
“The holidays are the enactment of the core values, and we can actually see before our eyes the beauty of that tradition through the holidays and through ritual,” Avino said. “You can compare that to your own traditions, and you can see the similarities and differences and within that is the beauty of that. And you start to see that faith as being worthy of reverence, while still maintaining your own faith.”

NEW YORK: The son of famed novelist Paul Auster has been charged with manslaughter and negligent homicide in the drug overdose death of his 10-month-old daughter, New York City’s police said Sunday.
Daniel Auster’s daughter Ruby was found unconscious in a Brooklyn home on November 1 last year and pronounced dead after being rushed to hospital.
The medical examiner’s office found the cause of death to be “acute intoxication by the combined effects of fentanyl and heroin,“ the police said in a statement to AFP.
“The incident has been deemed a homicide,“ the police said, adding that Daniel Auster, 44, had been charged with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
Local New York media said he was arrested on Friday evening.
Daniel Auster had a previous tangle with law enforcement in 1996 when Andre “Angel” Melendez, an alleged drug dealer, was murdered -- though the younger Auster was not implicated in that crime.
He pleaded guilty to possessing $3,000 that had been stolen from Melendez and was sentenced to probation.
Two others -- Michael Alig and his roommate Robert Riggs -- pleaded guilty to Melendez’s murder and to dumping his body in the Hudson River.
Daniel’s father, Paul Auster, is one of New York’s best-known writers, and has been celebrated for notable works such as “The New York Trilogy,“ “Moon Palace” and “Leviathan.”
In his 2003 novel “Oracle Night,“ the narrator is a writer whose son is a drug addict. - AFP | https://www.thesundaily.my/world/novelist-paul-auster-s-son-charged-with-baby-s-death-KM9086639 | 2022-04-17T19:05:41Z | https://www.thesundaily.my/world/novelist-paul-auster-s-son-charged-with-baby-s-death-KM9086639 | true | 4 |

LAWRENCE, Mass. (AP) — A wind-fueled blaze that damaged several homes Friday night in Lawrence displaced more than 70 people but resulted in no injuries — a result that led one local leader to call it an “Easter miracle.”
In all, 73 people belonging to 17 different families are residing in temporary housing following the blaze, Lawrence officials said Saturday.
Fire officials said they believe the fire started on the third-floor balcony of a home in Lawrence before spreading to five other nearby residences. They said high winds helped the fire spread quickly in the densely settled neighborhood.
All residents were safely evacuated and no injuries were reported. No pets were reported missing or injured either.
“An Easter miracle,” said City Council President Marc Laplante. “It’s amazing that we were able to walk away from this.”
Crews from fire departments in Massachusetts and New Hampshire worked for more than three hours to extinguish the fire. The Red Cross is providing housing and assistance to the occupants of the damaged homes, and local community groups are helping to coordinate donations. | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Easter-Miracle-Blaze-displaced-73-but-caused-17086740.php | 2022-04-17T19:13:25Z | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Easter-Miracle-Blaze-displaced-73-but-caused-17086740.php | true | 12 |

BGT judges do Grease as Amanda Holden is pink lady and David Walliams does drag as Sandy
THE Britain's Got Talent judges paid homage to classic movie Grease tonight.
The opening pre-titles sequence saw Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon as pink ladies.
They drove to pick up David, who was waiting for them dressed as Olivia Newton John's iconic character Sandy.
He went for the 'pure' version of the character when she wore a yellow twin-set and a white shirt, as opposed to the leathers she sports in the movie's climax.
"You do look strangely attractive," Amanda told him as he clambered in the car.
David replied: "No needs for the strangely, I think just attractive."
They then went to pick up Simon who clearly didn't get the memo as he was wearing his regular clothes.
David then launched into a rendition of You're The One That I Want as Simon laughed. Simon then jumped in the tiny convertible car with the gang, with the boys in the back and the girls up front.
"How long did it take you to get ready," Simon asked.
"Well, I was wearing this this morning anyway," deadpanned David. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/18291552/bgt-grease-amanda-holden-david-walliams/ | 2022-04-17T19:24:24Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/18291552/bgt-grease-amanda-holden-david-walliams/ | true | 2 |

WELCOME TO HOW I Spend My Money, a series on The Journal that looks at how people in Ireland really handle their finances.
We’re asking readers to keep a record of how much they earn, what they save if anything, and what they’re spending their money on over the course of one week.
Are you a spender, a saver or a splurger? We’re looking for readers who will keep a money diary for a week. If you’re interested send a mail to money@thejournal.ie. We would love to hear from you.
Each money diary is submitted by readers just like you. When reading and commenting, bear in mind that their situation will not be relatable for everyone, it is simply an account of a week in their shoes, so let’s be kind.
Last time around, we heard from an IT technician living in Dublin on €55K. This week, a project manager on €35K in Dublin with a small family.
I am a 36-year-old project manager working in the public sector, living and working in Dublin city. Myself, my boyfriend, our baby and our dog recently made the move back into my mother’s house as we need to save for a deposit and she offered us low rent – the classic, modern city tale. I work four days a week at the moment and my partner works four days also with some evening and weekend shifts.
Between the two of us, we will only need one day of childcare a week, which is great for cost, but difficult to find someone. Working in the public sector means I have good flexibility with my job. I’d prefer not to go back to full-time work, but I have no choice if we ever want to get a mortgage.
I find saving quite stressful, I’m bad at budgeting and I never know if I’m doing anything right about it. We will (hopefully) apply for a mortgage next year and I am really looking forward to having a professional tell me what to do! I have a direct debit of €200 a month into a savings account, and I then usually add a few hundred more towards the end of the month. This month I have a dentist appointment that I expect to set me back a bit, so I will wait until that’s done. I’ve been averaging about €800 a month for the last few months, so I hope to keep at it.
I can’t say I have many hobbies at the moment as the baby takes up a lot of time, but we’re just sort of getting back to going out and our lives back. I do enjoy a few glasses of wine a week, does this count as a hobby?

Groceries: About €300 each a month including some takeaways

Monday
7.00 am: I wake up and attempt to drag myself out of bed. Lucky me got the bed to myself tonight as my partner is staying up with the baby while we are attempting to sleep train. I have a shower, throw some clothes not covered in baby food on and get on the bike to work.
8.00 am: Emails and a huge to-do list for me today as I am just kicking off quite a large project for work. I make coffee on the coffee machine which is free and have some porridge. I buy a big bag of fancy oats about once a month so I feel like I’m posh when really, I am poor.
10.00 am: Meeting in my office with a few other staff members about budget stuff.
11.00 am: More free coffee and I go for a wander to say hello to some friends around the office before coming back to tackle more on the to-do list.
12.30 pm: I decide to be good to myself today and get something from the canteen at work. I go all out and get myself a ham and cheese roll and leave my change as a tip (€4.50 roll, 50c tip)
1.00 pm: I don’t take a huge lunch break, so I’m off for another short meeting about some requests in a different team.
1.30 pm: Back at the desk and back at the emails, interspersed with some water, which I fill up from our filter tap at work. I regret not having a stash of biscuits in my office but a pack a day is a hard habit to break once you get into it.
4.00 pm: Home to the carnage of baby and dog! Catch up with my partner on how they’re doing and any interesting developments. I also confirm with a childminder that we will meet her on Thursday to see if she will be able to mind the wee lad starting from next week.
4.30 pm: My brother and his wife called over to say hi as they were passing by. We sit out in the garden (one of the luxuries of living back at home!) and have some beers I had left in the fridge from a birthday party last week.
7.00 pm: My partner goes out and purchases the bits I forgot to get for dinner yesterday. We tend to take turns buying the food shop, but don’t keep great tabs on who pays what and when. I hang out with the wee man and we discuss the finer points of not poking the dog directly in the eyes before he gets his dinner.
9.00 pm: We have our dinner quite late a lot of the time. I’d like to say we’re Spanish and it’s normal but we’re not, we just live on the edge. Delicious risotto using stuff from yesterday, supplemented with additional bits from today.
10.00 pm: The wee man is in bed and the two parents enjoy some quality time watching TV and drinking tea.
Today’s total: €5.00
Tuesday
7.00 am: Payday! Money how I have missed you. Unfortunately, you leave me as soon as you arrive in the immediate form of rent (€375), mortgage savings (€200) and credit union savings (€10). I transfer €100 to my Revolut, which I try to use for day-to-day spending and just to keep an eye on my spending.
8.00 am: I work from home today so free coffee, and more porridge.
10.00 am: I take a break and go say hello to the baby and boyfriend downstairs, make another coffee and then back up to the home office, which is also our bedroom.
1.00 pm: The baby is down for his first nap of the day, so I take the quiet moment to shove a sandwich and a cup of tea into myself from our kitchen.
1.30 pm: Back at document reviews and emails.
4.30 pm: I finish up for the day and feel like my brain is a bit melted, so I take the baby out to do some shopping. I have to get some food for the week and also formula and some baby food as he is starting on solids. I also got a new hoodie for my boyfriend for his birthday which is tomorrow. (€66.80)
5.30 pm: A friend drops by on her way home from work for a beer in the garden (making good use of leftover birthday beer!) and we hang out with the baby and catch up. We eat some leftover dinner from yesterday and some of the crisps I got for the baby with a glass of wine, also leftover from the birthday party.
9.30 pm: The baby is in bed and my boyfriend comes home from his evening shift to a very quiet house. We have some tea and watch some Time Team on YouTube while he eats some leftover dinner.
Today’s total: €651.80
Wednesday
7.00 am: Slow roll into emails today and some more document review and now also excel spreadsheets. I make myself a coffee and head back to my computer. I work from home Wednesday mornings as my partner has one mid-morning meeting, then I usually go into the office.
10.00 am: My boyfriend has his online meeting for an hour so I make the wee lad his breakfast and we discuss the finer points of not rubbing porridge into our hair. I also have some porridge, but I do not rub it into my hair.
11.00 am: On the bike and into work. I get another coffee from the free machine and get prepared for a meeting.
12.30 pm: My manager stops by my office and asks me if I would like some free food left over from one of his meetings. I absolutely do want the free food so I get a nice sandwich and eat it at my desk. After this, another meeting and more excel and testing out some new project management software.
4.00 pm: I’m off home. I have a piece of toast when I get back and discuss plans for tonight as we’re going out for my boyfriend’s birthday. My mum has nicely offered to babysit!
6.30 pm: We’ve landed in the local and I pay for two pints of Guinness each, which comes to €22.80.
7.30 pm: We make it to dinner and it comes to a total of €38.50. My mum very generously gave us €50 for dinner, so no cost there.
9.00 pm: We stop at the shop on the way home and my boyfriend gets some crisps and a chocolate bar. He pays for this snack run and I will pay for the next one.
Today’s total: €22.80
Thursday
9.00 am: Today is my day off, which is nice but also busy as my other half has a very long day at work. I get myself and the wee lad up and we get straight into some porridge and toast, followed by a ramble around the house.
11.00 am: We take the dog out for a walk. I contemplate getting a nice coffee while we’re out, but I feel like I don’t want it enough to justify the cost.
12.30 pm: Naptime, and I make use of the time to eat some food. I have some noodles I got from the asian market recently.
2.00 pm: I’ve realised we are running low on nappies, so we’re back out again. We stop by the park on the way to the shops, do some playing on things and run around in the grass for a while. We stop by Dunnes and get some nappies and some snacks which come to €6.34. I also stick my head into Zara as I have a family party coming up and nothing to wear. I spot a dress that fits my criteria (and my post-baby body!), which comes to €49.90.
4.00 pm: Back at home and I make me and the lad some lunch to share: tinned mackerel and quinoa salad because I have notions and he really likes quinoa. We then do some exhausting hide and seek and general running around until my mum comes home and I can have a breather.
7.30 pm: My mum makes me dinner today. We take turns cooking for each other, which is great for me as herself and my boyfriend are excellent cooks. We have spaghetti and meatballs and watch some Netflix together.
9.15 pm: Bedtime for the small man and tea time for me! My boyfriend is due home around 10pm. Time for a debrief then I am straight to bed as I am exhausted.
Today’s total: €55.34
Friday
7.30 am: Friday! It’s very cold this morning on the bike to work. I get into work and straight into a catch-up with some fellow early staffers and a free coffee. I message one of my co-workers to see if they are free for lunch today as we haven’t had a chance to catch up recently.
10.00 am: Free machine coffee, where would I be without it?
1.00 pm: I head to the canteen to meet my friend and I buy us both a sandwich, which comes to €9.00.
2.00 pm: More free machine coffee and a message from my boyfriend asking if I can pick up something to go with dinner.
4.00 pm: Out of work and into Lidl where I get us some dinner stuff, and some snacks for everyone. It comes to €14.67.
7.00 pm: We have dinner and I locate that bottle of wine from earlier in the week and help myself. I used to enjoy getting fancy wine, but now that I’m saving, I will do with any old plonk. We play with the baby and hang out until bedtime. I watch a few episodes of Bridgerton while my boyfriend laughs at it beside me.
Today’s total: €23.67
Saturday
8.10 am: Unfortunately, having a baby means the days of lie-ins are gone, but it’s also nice to be up and about early once you get over the initial horror. I make everyone breakfast of porridge and bananas and get my first coffee of the day.
11.30 am: Time to go out for a walk with the gang. My boyfriend offers to get us coffee and pastries while I chat to one of our neighbours. I possibly should have paid for this, but I will let it slide…
Your contributions will help us continue
to deliver the stories that are important to you
1.00 pm: I make us some lunch using some things I got during the week – sausage, egg and cheese sandwiches.
4.00 pm: I try to have a bath once a week as it’s nice to be able to lie down with a book for an hour and listen to the radio. I still have a fantastic stockpile of bath bombs left from Christmas gifts, so I make use of one of these also.
7.00 pm: We have dinner using more bits from shopping. Salmon and potato bake thing, and I have more wine. A bottle of wine lasts me a really long time these days which is good I guess.
10.00 pm: We watch a few more episodes of Bridgerton as well as some random documentaries on YouTube and it’s a bit of an ordeal to get the baby down to sleep. I am in bed not far behind him!
Today’s total: €0.00
Sunday
9.00 am: Today the baby gods have blessed me and the wee lad has slept in until 9am, which is great! My boyfriend works today so it’s just the two of us. We do our usual morning routine of breakfast, followed by harassing the dog into playing with us.
11.00 am: Walk time for the gang. It’s a nice day out which is great as we are off into town later.
12.00 pm: Back at home and the baby and dog are having a nap. I put on some laundry while I have some time and eat some toast and have more coffee.
2.00 pm: We’re up and waiting for one of my friends to call over as we are going out to a samba gig in Dublin. We stop by Tesco on the way in to get some snacks, which come to €4.73.
4.00 pm: Gig is over. It was the first gig for the wee man and he enjoyed himself. We go to a pub close by and I buy my two friends with us a drink to say thanks for helping to run around after him. It comes to €22.50.
5.30 pm: On the way home, I realise we have no bread or cheese and I have a hankering for a toastie, so we stop by Tesco on the way back. (€4.09)
7.00 pm: I get a message from my mum to say some family are in the local pub and want us to come down to say hello, so we throw our shoes on and head down. One of my cousins buys me a gin and tonic and the wee man gets passed around the group.
8.00 pm: We’re back at home and have a freezer pizza for dinner. My boyfriend is back from work, so I lightly defer childcare and bedtime duties to him for the moment. I watch another episode of Bridgerton and between that and some tea, the evening passes quite quickly!
Today’s total: €31.32
Weekly subtotal: €789.93
***
What I learned –
- I have spent a lot more than I expected this week, but it was an unusual week for me as I had to buy a birthday present, and a dress to wear and I even went to the pub! Also it’s rent week and savings week too I guess.
- I would like to be better planned with food so I can take stuff to work. All my lovely work food does add up, as well as repeat shopping trips.
- I really need to try to get a handle on spending as from next week, I start paying for childcare.
- Keeping this diary has been quite hard and the week looks really long when I read back over it, but it passed by in about a second.
- I am going to return the Zara dress. It’s nice, but I won’t get much wear out of it other than one party! | https://www.thejournal.ie/readme/how-i-spend-my-money-64-5730295-Apr2022/ | 2022-04-17T19:37:53Z | https://www.thejournal.ie/readme/how-i-spend-my-money-64-5730295-Apr2022/ | false | 1 |
Stranger Things fans panic after spotting VERY worrying signs in Netflix’s season 4 trailer
STRANGER Things fans worry for Max Mayfield after seeing the epic trailer teasing the fourth season.
The hit supernatural Netflix show dropped a trailer for the new season airing next month.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted many clues for what's to come.
While the rest of the Hawkins gang gear up for war, Max is still grieving the loss of her late step brother, Billy.
But is Billy really dead? Could he be the new Big Bad of season four?
In the trailer, Max (Sadie Elizabeth Sink) appears to be floating in a graveyard in front of Billy's headstone reading a letter.
Fans take to Twitter to share their concerns for Max as one said: "Literally, what's up with Max Please don't hurt her."
Another wrote: "MAX IS FLOATING OMG WTF IS HAPPENING SEND HELP OMG."
A third noted: "The part were max is being lifted through the air it's probably a nod to Stephen King's It the same way Beverly was."
Other clues the trailer teases include Joyce Byers receiving a mysterious package, Jim Hopper in a Russian prison and Eleven being relocated to California.
It has been confirmed that the Creel residence will play a "pivotal" role in season four of Stranger Things.
Co-creator Ross Duffer admitted on the Present Company With Krista Smith podcast that a lot of the latest fan theories online are "startlingly" accurate.
Ross is confident that the fans "will be happy when they see it."
Stranger Things season 4 will premiere in two parts on May 27 and July 1 on Netflix.

Oroco - Deep Value Asset Play; Likelihood Of Strong Upside
Summary
- Oroco owns the Santo Tomas property - this plot of land in Mexico has over 5 billion pounds of copper in the ground.
- I see Oroco as having a minimum value of $6/share and a possible value of $10-14/share.
- To close the price to value gap, the company is doing exploratory drilling to figure out exactly how much copper they have, so they can be acquired by a miner.
- This article focuses on Oroco's valuation.
Oroco (OTCQB:ORRCF) owns the rights to a property containing over 5 billion pounds of copper in the ground. The company has done exploratory drilling to confirm the copper is there.
The value of the copper is much higher than Oroco's current share price. All we have to do is wait for the share price to catch up with the company's asset value, and ORRCF should be a multi-bagger at current prices.
This article's going to focus on the company's valuation.
I want to let you know that I am heavily invested in this stock because I think the idea makes sense. I'm not trying to pump the stock; I'm just reporting research and facts.
I hope this article helps to close the price to value gap for Oroco. And I hope that you, a good reader of Seeking Alpha, get a chance to look at this stock, and see if it's right for you. I hope you enjoy.
Special Thanks
Before I start, I want to give a special thanks to Evan Bleker from the Net Net Hunter community for sharing this idea, Ney Torres and the rest of the Net Net Hunter community for a lot of the research, and Mariusz Skonieczny for his helpful YouTube videos. I'm very thankful for their research.
Company Description
Oroco is a resource exploration company. They own other properties, but we're interested in the company for its Santo Tomas property.
Resource exploration companies are companies that search for mineable resources. Resource explorers are called "junior" mining companies, because they're looking for mineable land; while the companies that do the actual mining are called the "senior" mining companies. Oroco is a junior mining company, looking to sell Santo Tomas to a senior mining company.
Generally, resource exploration companies would make poor investments, because these companies typically haven't proven anything. Oroco's different because their past drilling records prove that they have billions of pounds of copper, and the share price is undervalued to the value of the copper.
Why This Opportunity Exists
If this is expected to be a multi-bagger, how has everyone missed this?
Here's my guess:
- It's a microcap stock (around $300M market cap)
- It's a hidden asset. Value doesn't appear on the balance sheet.
- It took a lot of research to see the opportunity.
And frankly, Oroco's value comes from a couple of square miles of land in Mexico (where they own the copper). It's not very fun or exciting.
Valuation Background
Just as a reference point, Oroco's share price is ~$1.60 and the market cap is ~$300M the day that I'm writing this.
Copper Value
An important number to keep in mind is that copper's spot price today is ~$4.40. This is important because the value of Oroco's stock varies based on copper's spot price (because they own a large copper asset).
Copper prices have been strong recently:
Over the past 10 years, the average copper mine in the feasibility stage sold for ~$0.09/pound of copper. The feasibility stage means that the viability of the project has already been determined, and managers have already determined what kind of returns the mining operation will yield. Oroco's in this stage and continuing to do drilling work so that potential acquirers will have an updated idea of what kind of resources the property holds.
This graph below shows the price/ton of copper paid by acquirers for copper mines. Historically, it cost ~$200/ton of copper, which is equivalent to 10 cents a pound. In this valuation, I used 9 cents/pound as the historic valuation for what copper in the ground should be worth:
This data describes the copper properties that were acquired over 2008-2018. Over that same time period the average spot price for copper was ~$2.75/pound.
Now, copper's spot price is ~$4.40/pound. Copper's spot price grew 60% since this data came out. So it would make sense that the value of copper in the ground should also rise 60% - instead of 9 cents/pound, properties like Santo Tomas should now sell for 15 cents/pound.
These are important numbers to keep in mind for the main thesis (which is that there's lots of copper in the ground and it's trading too cheap!)
And due to a limited supply of copper mines and increased copper demand, copper prices are expected to continue to rise:
Ultimately, the future price of copper isn't important to this thesis, so I'm not going to go into it more. The takeaway is that it seems reasonable to assume that copper prices will continue to rise in the future.
Valuation
The value of this company is dependent on the amount of copper in the ground, and the sale price of the copper in the ground.
We don't know for certain how much copper is in the ground, or the multiple a miner would pay for the copper.
We already established that the historic acquisition multiple for copper was ~9 cents/pound. Today that price would be ~15 cents/pound adjusted for the fact that copper prices have risen from $2.75 (average spot price from 2008 to 2018) to ~$4.40 today.
So how much copper do they have? 10 years ago, the Santo Tomas property was drilled to determine how much copper was in the ground:
They found 821.7M tonnes of copper - which is 5.84B pounds. However - there's almost certainly more copper than what is shown in the historical reports. The red area is additional areas of high chargeability. These areas in red have the potential to hold more copper, and they weren't covered in the historical report:
It looks like they just scratched the surface.
The areas to the left of the South Zone and in the Brasiles Zone (picture above) are probably hiding a lot of copper. Also, the areas right along the sides of the North and South Zones could hold some copper as well.
"As we discussed in our June report we believe that a resource of at least 3-4x the original historical resource, equivalent to 7.95-10.60Mt of contained copper, could be outlined over the course of the next 18-24 months through continued exploration".
In December 2021, management reiterated their estimate that there might be as much as 7.95-10.6 million tonnes of copper in the ground - which is equivalent to 17.5-23.4B pounds. That's way higher than the historic estimates of 5.84B pounds.
Over the next 18-24 months, we should start to see the results of the exploration come out, which should positively impact the stock price.
Pre-Valuation Notes
In my valuation, the lowest pounds of copper I assume that the company has is 10B pounds. They could technically only have 5.84B pounds because that's what's been confirmed from the technical report from 10 years ago - but it wouldn't make much sense to assume they won't find more copper.
Management is estimating they could have 17.5-23.4B pounds of copper. You can see with your own eyes in the picture that they probably have much more than the 5.84B pounds that were originally confirmed.
With that said - if you're concerned about what the lowest downside could be with this stock - let's say they have 5.84B pounds of copper - and they can only sell for the historic M&A multiple of 9 cents/pound - the fair value of shares would still be $2.10.
This is unrealistic because they almost certainly have way more copper than 5.84B pounds, and this estimate doesn't take into account the fact that copper prices have risen.
Still, at today's prices of ~$1.60 - that's about 30% upside for a valuation so low it doesn't even make sense. For that reason, there seems to be a very low downside risk with this stock.
Here are the valuations that do make sense (and are way higher). All numbers below are listed in USD. If you'd prefer to work in CAD since this company is based out of Canada, 1 USD = ~1.25 CAD.
Absolute Floor
This is what I'd consider being the absolute floor value for what shares could be worth.
This is assuming management falls short and only finds 10B pounds of copper, then can only sell it for 9 cents/pound.
This would be a failure in multiple ways. Management expects to find much more copper in the ground, plus they should be able to sell at a higher price because the price of copper has risen.
This shows that at a minimum - the stock is worth upwards of $3.60. Shares should double even if things go wrong.
Low Estimate
The only change made in this valuation is the copper multiple was adjusted from 9 cents/pound to 15 cents/pound to account for the 60% rise in copper prices:
(This table and the rest of the tables in this article were simplified for easier viewership. All calculations were done in the same fashion as the first table.)
At $1.60/share today, shares would be a triple bagger in this scenario, knocking on the door of being a quadruple bagger.
This goes to show you the impact that rising copper prices have on the value of shares.
What would happen if over the next several months metal prices went on a tear? I don't know anything about future metal prices, but if you do, and you're bullish on where metals/copper is heading, you can see how Oroco shareholders would really benefit from rising copper prices.
Base Case
If things go normal (according to plan), what would Oroco be worth?
Management estimated that continued exploration could outline 7.95-10.6 million tonnes of copper - AKA about 17.5-23.4B pounds of copper.
It makes sense to assume that copper would be worth 15 cents/pound, because copper prices have risen.
I estimate that it leaves us with a fair value share price of $10.51 to $14.06:
Low
High
Given these fair assumptions based on management's estimates, shares look to be worth between $10.51 and $14.06.
Again, these estimates are based on what rock in the ground is worth. This is not a speculation of what a one-of-a-kind JPEG is worth or what a digital currency is worth.
This is a safe estimate based on asset values. We've been using copper for hundreds of years, and copper continues to become more valuable as we mine away the Earth's limited resources.
At $10.50, Oroco would be a 6-bagger, and at $14.06, Oroco would be an 8, almost 9, bagger. This is truly possible.
Best Case
What if copper's spot price doubled to $8.80? And the company found the upper limit of its estimate of copper?
This would be a wild scenario, but it's definitely possible.
The multiple for the copper would rise to 29 cents/pound, and if this did happen - we'd be in for a heck of a ride as shareholders:
The stock could be worth somewhere in the $20's if things go really right.
That would make Oroco an almost 17 bagger at current prices.
Is this bound to happen? No, but it's certainly possible. At a minimum, Oroco looks like a multi-bagger at current prices.
Recap
Oroco is not a speculation play or a gamble on future copper prices; it's an undervalued asset. The company owns copper in the ground, and the stock is trading far from the fair value of the rock in the ground.
The supply of copper mines has been dwindling and the demand for copper is continuing to increase. At the root of this idea - this asset-backed valuation shows the company is strongly undervalued.
Based on simple math, Oroco looks to have a minimum value of $6/share, and a possible value of $10-14/share if there are strong drilling results.
This is a stock that I've invested heavily in because it's a good idea and the numbers make sense.

‘It’s a crisis that nobody knows about’: Project Bubaloo seeks progress for children with congenital heart disease
By Natalie Shepherd
Click here for updates on this story
MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (WDJT) — Callie Chiroff lost her son, Theo, to congenital heart disease (CHD) four years ago. His short life inspired her to launch a nonprofit called Project Bubaloo. In just a short amount of time, the organization has grown and is helping to raise awareness and funding for CHD.
“Thank you for coming,” Chiroff greeted guests with hugs at a fundraiser in March.
She had been running around all afternoon to make sure everything was perfect. The beer was on ice and the food ready.
“Can you guys help out in coat check?” she asked a few volunteers.
She did a final walk-through of the event space at Coast in downtown Milwaukee.
“I’m sweating a little bit,” Chiroff said with a laugh. “But really and truly, I have so much support and so much help that everything’s been pretty easy.”
The event, called Hops for Hearts, is a labor of love. All of the money raised goes to Project Bubaloo.
“That was his nickname. I don’t know why, I just started calling him that,” Chiroff explained.
Theo was born in September of 2017 with congenital heart disease.
“At my 20-week ultrasound, they told me something was wrong, and there was something wrong with his heart and he would need open heart surgery when he was born,” Chiroff said.
Chiroff spent six months by Theo’s side at Children’s Wisconsin.
“As time went on, he had more complications and more complications,” she explained. “And he, for six months, fought really hard.”
Her baby, with his big brown eyes, talking to her, every day, in his own way.
“He had the biggest brown eyes you could possibly imagine, that just looked wise,” she said. “He was talking to you through his eyes and he was so sick for so long.”
Watching Theo fight, she made the decision no parent wants to make — to withdraw care.
“Eventually, we just knew his life was not meant to be long, and he was telling me his life was not going to be long,” Chiroff said.
With that decision, she took Theo outside for the very first time.
“I was able to take him outside and let the sunshine shine on his face, and that, for me, was saying goodbye to him,” she said.
But Chiroff also made a pledge to Theo that day.
“I promised him that I was not going to waste my life, because he didn’t get one,” she said, tearing up.
Her sister, Katherine Jansen, was by Chiroff’s side the entire time.
“When you have that passion for something, that’s all you need,” Jansen said about the decision to launch Project Bubaloo.
The nonprofit raises awareness and funds to fight CHD, which impacts one in 100 children.
“It’s a crisis that nobody knows about, so that’s why we’re here, to tell people more about it,” Jansen said.
Initially, the two didn’t know much about running a nonprofit.
“I’ll tell you a little secret. I think we just, we winged it,” Chiroff said with a shoulder shrug. “I hate to say that, but it’s one of those things where you want to do something and you just learn along the way. There’s no handbook for it.”
Passion for the cause drove them on.
“That’s one of the things that Theo taught me, is follow your passion. After he passed away, I remember I was in a job that I wasn’t happy in, I was looking for other jobs. Life is too short not to do what you’re passionate about,” Jansen said.
Now Jansen has a new calling, fighting for other families raising kids with CHD.
“I’ve never attended so many children’s funerals since knowing people in the CHD community. And to me, that’s just not okay,” she said.
The sisters are getting the word out. Hundreds packed the Hops for Hearts event. It raised more than $60,000.
“You really don’t realize how many good people are out there and people want to do good, too,” Jansen said of the support they’ve gotten from the community.
It’s a celebration of Theo’s life and a legacy to carry on.
“We’re so passionate about it, and it’s something that means so much to us that it’s not work. It’s fun,” Jansen said.
“I just want him to be proud, and I think, I think he is,” Chiroff added. “We just want to keep making a difference.”

FLORISSANT, Colo. — A man was found dead after shooting at the homes of his neighbors in a Colorado mountain community early Sunday, leading residents to be evacuated, authorities said.
The man was later found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his home in Florissant, about 35 miles northwest of Colorado Springs, the Teller County Sheriff’s Office said. No one else was injured.
No motive was immediately known for the shooting, the sheriff’s office said.
The shots were reported in a wooded neighborhood of homes next to forest land at around 12:30 a.m., the sheriff’s office said. About 11 residents were evacuated in an emergency tactical vehicle by the SWAT team and the suspect continued to fire shots after the evacuation, the office said.
When deputies entered the suspect’s home, they found multiple firing points set up inside the home, the sheriff’s office said. | https://www.denverpost.com/2022/04/17/teller-county-man-shoots-at-neighbors/ | 2022-04-17T19:55:08Z | https://www.denverpost.com/2022/04/17/teller-county-man-shoots-at-neighbors/ | true | null |

PSV Eindhoven are the 2022 KNVB Cup winners after a 2-1 victory over Ajax.
- Follow Football-Oranje on Twitter
PSV lined up in De Kuip with the same starting eleven that lost out to Leicester City in the Europa Conference League on Thursday. Erik ten Hag decided to start with Brian Brobbey over Sebastien Haller in the Ajax attack.
It was PSV who had the first chance but Cody Gakpo’s shot didn’t cause the returning Maarten Stekelenburg too much trouble. Eran Zahavi then had the ball in the net for PSV, but the offside flag ruled it out.
After that, Ajax took control with Brobbey putting a chance wide before the Amsterdammers were sure they should have had a penalty when Dusan Tadic went over under a challenge from Joey Veerman. However, Danny Makkelie was not interested.
In the 23rd minute, Ajax had the lead with Ryan Gravenberch doing well to stay on the ball before combining with Davy Klaassen and then striking low past Yvon Mvogo.
Ajax dominated the rest of the half and Noussair Mazraoui thought he had made it 2-0, but VAR intervened for an offside in the build up. PSV went into the break happy that it was only 1-0.
Three minutes into the second half, it was 1-1 with Erick Gutierrez heading in after Ibrahim Sangare connected with a Gakpo free-kick. Moments later, Gakpo intercepted a poor Lisandro Martinez pass and he fired past Stekelenburg to make it 2-1.
Klaassen had a instant response ruled out by VAR before Dusan Tadic smashed a shot against the post. Mvogo also made an excellent save to deny Perr Schuurs.
Ajax went looking for the equaliser with Haller and Mohamed Ihattaren coming on, but PSV stayed resiliant. It could have even been 3-1 but Yorbe Vertessen hit the post.
PSV takes their second trophy of the season after the Johan Cruijff Schaal and their first KNVB Cup since 2012. | https://www.football-oranje.com/psv-downs-ajax-to-lift-knvb-cup/ | 2022-04-17T19:57:23Z | https://www.football-oranje.com/psv-downs-ajax-to-lift-knvb-cup/ | true | 2 |

The number of deaths due to the severe floods that are taking place in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, in eastern South Africa, rose this Sunday (17), reaching 433 victims, in addition to 63 missing, according to information from official sources.
This Sunday, during a press conference, the head of government of the province, Sihle Zikalala, updated the number of victims and reiterated that these floods are “among the worst catastrophes in the province of KwaZulu-Natal in a long time.”
Emergency teams continue to work in the devastated area, which is again on alert this weekend due to rains and winds. Local authorities estimate that the damage in the province is in the millions and that a total of 40,000 people have been affected by the floods since the onset of torrential rains last Monday (11). They also estimate that 3,937 houses were totally destroyed and 8,039 partially damaged.
state of calamity
The South African government declared a state of calamity in the province and sent army troops to assist with emergency work and the search for missing persons. Zikalala said on Sunday that the province will ask the government to consider declaring a state of calamity at the national level due to the magnitude of the tragedy.
The most affected region is the Durban area, which is the largest city in KwaZulu-Natal and the third largest in South Africa. Electricity infrastructure, running water and many medical centers were severely damaged. According to calculations by Mxolisi Kaunda, mayor of Durban, the loss in that municipality alone was quantified last Thursday (14) at 757 million rand (about 50 million euros or R$253 million).
The country’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, visited the affected area last Wednesday (13) and said it was a “disaster of enormous proportions”, in addition to directly linking the floods to climate change. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/04/18/strong-floods-in-south-africa-leave-at-least-433-dead-news/ | 2022-04-17T20:20:03Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/04/18/strong-floods-in-south-africa-leave-at-least-433-dead-news/ | true | 4 |

In one scene, both Miller and Friend have to push their way through a pack of photographers, something all too familiar to the actress, who was frequently followed by paparazzi in the 2000s due to her on-off relationship with Jude Law.
"Rupert also had experienced it, so those scenes weren't pleasant for either of us, but it was weirdly interesting to kind of step back in and... there is something cathartic, I suppose, about spending time in an ugly space that's familiar. And maybe reclaiming it?" she told U.K. Elle magazine. "I don't know what the psychology of it is. But there is something where maybe you can substitute a memory with something else."
The 40-year-old noted that while the show explores "familiar terrain", her character's way of dealing with the fallout of the scandal is "the absolute antithesis" of her way.
"So, in a kind of twisted, tourism sense, I just wanted to see how it would feel to react differently. I know that sounds weird, because you'd think it would be deeply unpleasant to sit in that space," she admitted.
Miller and Law's engagement was rocked by scandal in 2005 when he had a highly publicised affair with his children's nanny. They split for good in 2011.

Visual Artists of Welland (VAW) recently received more than $21,000 in funding under the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors program that will be applied to its own programming.
“This program is a federal grants and contributions program whose goal is to support projects that help improve the well-being of seniors and foster social inclusion and engagement in their communities,” a government press release said.
VAW is a non-profit organization that supports and promotes both experienced and emerging visual artists.
With this funding, co-president.
“The funding is for the overall program, it is for the development of the program,” said Pamela Duncan, VAW co-president.
The funding is to be used for supplies, instructors, marketing and promotion.
“It is also for the outreach to seniors, it’s to help with isolation, it’s to give them more confidence and to help them get involved more in the community,” Duncan said.
Added co-president Deedee Alexandre, “A lot of them have felt isolated during COVID.” “So, it’s to get them more active, get them moving again.”
The classes are underway.
“I did the first class on April 3 called ‘Making a vision board,’” Alexandre said. “The next one will be on April 24; we haven’t determined what the class is going to be yet.
“We’ve had quite a few proposals come in, so we have to decide on it soon.”
Classes will normally be scheduled on the third and fourth Sunday of the month.
Classes are $20 per three-hour session. There are some classes that are being planned that are two sessions so the price will be $40.
Class subjects will include how to create acrylic and watercolour paintings, and how to draw. Proposals are welomed from people who would like to instruct workshops.
“What we are looking for is a wide spectrum of classes so that it isn’t all drawing or painting because some people aren’t attracted to that,” Alexandre said. “It can’t all be watercolour, we are trying to put together as diverse a curriculum as we can.”
One of the proposed courses will have seniors make use of iPads for art and research.
The classes are mainly for seniors but, Duncan said, “the classes are open to anyone over 18.”

Some state lawmakers calling it quits, can’t afford to serve
UPDATED: Sat., April 16, 2022
Connecticut State Representative Joe de la Cruz announces he will not be running for re-election during the opening day of the legislative session on Feb. 9 at the State Capitol in Hartford, Conn. In efforts to raise the salaries of lawmakers, advocates in several states say there needs to be better pay to help improve diversity in statehouse ranks, in terms of race and ethnicity and economic background. (Dana Jensen)
HARTFORD, Conn. – When trying to decide whether to seek a fourth term in the Connecticut House of Representatives, Rep. Joe de la Cruz ran the question by his wife, whom he jokingly refers to as his lawyer and financial adviser.
While Tammy de la Cruz didn’t want to discourage her 51-year-old husband from stepping away from the part-time job he has grown to love, she acknowledged it didn’t make financial sense for him to run again in November.
“The retirement planner in her didn’t even have to use a calculator to do the math,” Joe de la Cruz, a Democrat, told fellow House members when he announced in February that he’s not seeking reelection. “The $30,000 a year we make to do this illustrious job, the one that we all really care for, is truly not enough to live on. It’s truly not enough to retire on.”
Lawmakers in other states, often those with part-time “citizen” legislatures, have raised similar complaints. In Oregon, where the base pay is about $33,000 a year, three female state representatives announced in March they are not seeking re-election because they can’t afford to support their families on a part-time salary for what’s really full-time work. They called the situation “unsustainable” in a joint resignation letter.
Connecticut legislators haven’t seen an increase in their $28,000 base pay in 21 years.
While it varies by state as to how legislative salaries are adjusted, bills increasing legislator pay were proposed in several states this year, including Connecticut, Georgia, Oregon and New Mexico, which is the nation’s only unsalaried legislature. So far, the bills have faltered as some lawmakers fear rankling voters by approving their own pay raises.
It’s also not clear whether higher salaries ultimately lead to more diversified legislatures, something proponents of pay raises say is at risk. A 2016 study published in the American Political Science Review determined there was “surprisingly little empirical evidence” that raising politicians’ salaries would encourage more working-class people to run for political office. The study found that higher salaries “don’t seem to make political office more attractive to workers; they seem to make it more attractive to professionals who already earn high salaries.”
Arturo Vargas, CEO of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, said he believes that low pay, coupled with the threats and picketing some lawmakers and their families have received over issues like COVID-19 rules, will discourage people of modest means from running. And that often means people of color.
“It makes it more challenging for people who don’t have a lot of free time and need to rely on income to be able to perform their public service,” he said. “And it does make it an occupation that becomes more limited to the wealthy. And the wealthy in this country tend to be more white than people of color.”
In Washington, Democratic Sen. Mona Das, a child of immigrants from India who was first elected in 2018, recently announced on Facebook that she’s not seeking re-election. Part of the reason, she said, is the difficulty she’s had in meeting her financial obligations on a state Senate salary. Senators in Washington earn $56,881 a year plus a per diem to offset living expenses when the legislature is in session. That per diem jumped from up to $120 a day to up to $185 a day this year while the salary is scheduled to increase to $57,876 on July 1.
This year, roughly 71% of state legislators are white, 9% Black, 6% Hispanic and 2% Asian or Hawaiian, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Legislative chambers continue to remain male-dominated on average. Nationally, around 29% of state lawmakers are women, up from about 25% five years ago.
There are roughly 1,600 millennial and Gen Z individuals serving in state legislatures and in Congress nationwide, and the Millennial Action Project said that number has grown in recent years. Reggie Paros, chief program officer for the nonpartisan organization that supports legislators and members of Congress born after 1980, said younger lawmakers haven’t been in the workforce long enough to establish the financial stability needed to make up for a low-paying legislative job.
“That financial barrier is one of the biggest struggles for getting into public office,” Paros said.
Political polarization is another potential deterrent for new participants.
“I think it becomes harder to make an argument for a lot of people that they should put themselves into the political maelstrom at what could come as a considerable cost to their families,” said Peverill Squire, professor of political science at the University of Missouri.
His research on how and why legislatures change over time has found a “greater diversity on a range of different dimensions” in recent years. In Oregon, for example, women held the majority of seats in the state’s House of Representatives for the first time in 2021.
“But that change,” he said, “is perhaps going to be more difficult to achieve in the future if, in fact, the compensation that often gets offered for legislative services is lagging behind what most people during their working years would need to support themselves and their families.”
When De la Cruz, a union sheet metal worker, leaves office, he said there will be no employed construction workers serving in the Connecticut General Assembly, never mind anyone who works as a cashier at Walmart or an attendant at a gas station. He contends it’s important to have those voices of “laymen” represented at the state Capitol.
“It’s a huge concern of mine,” de la Cruz said. “Regular folks, like regular working folks, they don’t see the value in other working folks up there for them … They don’t understand that my voice … is about as close to a voice that they’re going to have.”
Connecticut Rep. Bob Godfrey, a 17-term Democrat from Danbury who has proposed legislation increasing salaries for at least five years, recalled a plumber, manufacturing assembly line worker and a meter reader serving with him in the House during his early days. Godfrey, who relies on his legislative pay and Social Security to pay his bills, said he fears the lack of blue-collar workers “skews policymaking toward the affluent” in Connecticut.
“We don’t look like the state,” he said.
In New Mexico, a Senate panel this year endorsed a proposed constitutional amendment to provide a salary to legislators who currently collect a daily stipend of approximately $165 during legislative sessions and for travel. Democratic Sen. Katie Duhigg of Albuquerque argued that a salary would “really expand the universe of people who are able to serve,” noting the legislature is “largely the rich and retired.” But action on the proposal was postponed indefinitely.
Earlier this year in Alaska, lawmakers rejected a plan that would have raised their annual base salary from $50,400 to $64,000. It hasn’t been changed since 2010. But the same proposal would have capped their daily $307 per diem for expenses like food and lodging at $100 and required receipts for claims. Some legislators complained $100 wouldn’t be enough to cover the cost of living in Juneau, the state’s capital, during session.
Sen. Mike Shower, a Republican from Wasilla, Alaska, raised concerns about the ramifications of low pay in a letter to the State Officers Compensation Commission, which proposed the revised salary and per diem plan.
“If there isn’t a good compensation package,” he wrote, “how do we get decent public servants who aren’t wealthy, retired or have the luxury of a spouse with a good enough job to support someone being a legislator?”

‘Second Suicide Battalion’ — Where military justice weaponizes mental health
Rampant disregard for the rights of the accused is not just commonplace, it is deeply entrenched in the military justice system.
Editor’s Note: This is the second story in a multipart series. Read part one.
On a Friday night at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, on the anniversary of his stepsister taking her own life, Lance Cpl. Kameron Duval got drunk. He hallucinated as he walked across Gonzalez Boulevard and began to wade into the New River.
Duval planned to kill himself with the knife he carried and to let his body float downstream, he told The War Horse during a phone interview.
When a Marine staff sergeant was alerted to the Marine in distress, he searched the area and found Duval walking toward the embankment. He ordered Marines walking nearby to watch the sick Marine until military police and paramedics arrived, according to a Marine attorney familiar with the case.
He told the Marines not to approach Duval because of his unstable condition, the attorney said.
But as the staff sergeant stepped away to make the call, one of the subordinate Marines waded out into the water and another sneaked up behind Duval. As the Marine attempted to subdue and grab Duval, the knife in Duval’s hand cut the Marine. The attorney said the injured Marine required stitches and was swiftly discharged from the emergency room.
Duval required inpatient care. When he was released, the Marines gave him the clothing he had worn into the river the night of his suicide attempt. Putting them on felt exhausting, he said.
“I didn’t want to deal with the psych issues anymore, and I’d asked for help so many times that it was just like, putting these things back on, I’m just going back to get denied again,” Duval told The War Horse during a phone interview. His unit was widely referred to as “Second Suicide Battalion” among his peers, he said.
“I felt like I was going back to no help again.”
Then the Marines drove Duval to military police headquarters.
Once inside, the military police investigator interrogated Duval without an attorney for six hours. The Marine apologized to the investigator for the stench that clung to his clothing.
“I didn’t feel like I would need [an attorney] because I didn’t really know what had happened,” Duval said, adding that, at the time, he trusted the system.
“Now, not so much,” he said. “Not at all, really.”
The Marine Corps accused him of aggravated assault and charged him with a felony at a general court martial.
From the moment the Marine was arrested—and throughout the eight months he was imprisoned before his trial in February—mental health professionals for both the prosecution and defense agreed that Duval had severe post-traumatic stress disorder, Duval and a Marine attorney familiar with the case said.
But the Marine Corps didn’t drop the charges.
“I was told that I was faking illness—basically saying I was malingering,” Duval said. “It was like they were just using excuses to make me out to be just some monster that was constantly causing problems and I was just using a mental health crisis to get out of trouble.”
In fact, weeks before that summer evening, Duval enrolled himself in mental health treatment, and a Navy doctor had diagnosed him with adjustment disorder. The Corps had begun to process him out with an administrative separation, Duval said.
But Duval said his therapy sessions were not helpful, and he came away from them with the sense that the military had little interest in his continued mental health, given that he would soon be leaving it.
After his arrest, the Marine Corps assigned another doctor to treat him. The Marine Corps tried to have that doctor testify against him, Duval said.
Like many other Marines, he was punished for behavior connected to a mental health diagnosis—even after he sought help and didn’t receive it. And, like for many others, the punishment could not only cause more damage, but prevent him from getting help in the future. Making the situation all the worse, Marines in similar situations often have no recourse, no legal ability to appeal their cases.
“I still have my Marine Corps sticker on my car,” said one Marine whose career ended because of a suicide attempt. “I had a good career, regardless of the outcome. There were still so many good times and so much good that we do and what we stand for. The Marine Corps just broke my heart.”
During this investigation, The War Horse spoke with more than two dozen active and retired attorneys, judge advocates, former public affairs officers, junior and senior enlisted service members, and legal experts from three separate branches and the private sector who said they support a restructuring of, as well as growth of, the military legal system so it better serves the force.
The commandant and sergeant major of the Marine Corps, staff judge advocate to the commandant, chief defense counsel of the Marine Corps, and two of the Corps’ most senior spokespeople each declined to comment or did not respond to multiple requests to discuss the issues impacting the military criminal justice system.
The cases sound like what one would find in a dictatorship—not like the ethos followed by the few and the proud, a Marine defense attorney said. One Marine, after being hospitalized after she tried to kill herself, was nearly interrogated by her command while in the hospital and then received a bad performance review for her behavior while under duress.
Another Marine, diagnosed with suicidal ideation, says she was left in a filthy prison cell without psychiatric help even after military doctors had recommended she be medically retired.
And even as Duval fought punishment for a psychiatric break, 94% of 438 Marines in his battalion reported a hostile work environment in a survey. They offered 125 negative comments specifically about his battalion commander.
She kept her job.
“They Don’t Even Realize What They Do Is Inappropriate.”
Maj. Anna Rubio-Fleischer was working as a company commander at Marine Corps Detachment Fort Leonard Wood when she decided to kill herself. She closed the door of her office, chugged an entire fifth of vodka and a bottle of muscle relaxers, and cried herself to sleep, hoping she would never wake up.
When a colleague discovered Rubio-Fleischer, she was barely responsive. Medics rushed her to the hospital where her stomach was pumped. When she came to, she told medical providers she had tried to kill herself. They committed her to an inpatient mental health ward, both Rubio-Fleischer and her attorney explained to The War Horse during a series of interviews.
While she was in the hospital, Rubio-Fleischer told doctors she had faced multiple assaults throughout her 14-year career in the Corps:
The time she says an officer threw her over a desk and her leaders said she should “watch the tone of her voice.”
The time she says she was sexually assaulted by a fellow Marine.
And the times she says her leadership abandoned her when she needed them most.
During her hospitalization, the judge advocate overseeing the line of duty investigation into Rubio-Fleischer’s suicide attempt, Lt. Col. Alan Schuller, tried to have Rubio-Fleischer questioned at least once. Hospital staff denied the interrogation, citing patient privacy laws, according to Rubio-Fleischer and a Marine attorney involved in the investigation. The attorney is a reservist in the military who represented Rubio-Fleischer pro bono but fears retaliation if they spoke on the record.
Instead of showing empathy and caring for a Marine in distress, the Corps’ leaders seized the opportunity to destroy Rubio-Fleischer through overwhelming force, just as they would an enemy combatant, she said.
“She was not mentally capable of answering investigatory inquiries,” said a Marine attorney involved in the case. “They don’t even realize what they do is inappropriate.”
A few weeks later, doctors released Rubio-Fleischer from the hospital with light-duty orders that would have restricted her access to firearms if she had any at the time and lowered the number of hours she was required to work each day. She was also required to stay sober and attend weekly therapy sessions, she said.
Instead, her leaders made her resume her full duties, she said.
“Thirty days doesn’t fix you, you know,” she said during a phone interview.
Days after her release from the inpatient facility, Rubio-Fleischer tried to kill herself a second time by chugging a fifth of liquor after she was denied a vacation. When she was again found unresponsive, she was rushed to the hospital and sent back to an inpatient facility.
Upon her discharge from the hospital, Rubio-Fleischer’s leaders began to transfer her to the Wounded Warrior Battalion at Camp Pendleton, a Marine base in southern California. Like every transfer to a new command, Rubio was given a routine performance evaluation. It was marked as adverse by her leaders, according to documents.
“I was just willing to leave the Corps with nothing because the Marines were not there to get me help,” Rubio-Fleischer said during a phone interview. “Apparently, officers are supposed to be superhuman, and we’re not. We’re just as fucked up as the rest of you. We just hide it better.”
In the performance evaluation, Marine leaders wrote that she was “derelict in her duties as a leader,” Rubio-Fleischer said. Her lawyer said her occasional absences from work were to take her special needs child to medical appointments—absences she always had permission for, Rubio-Fleischer said. The adverse nature of the fitness report could jeopardize Rubio-Fleischer’s future federal employment opportunities, her lawyer said.
“It demonstrates their intent,” said the Marine attorney involved in the investigation. “They weren’t going to let her leave without something bad happening. They couldn’t get her on administrative separation, they couldn’t get her criminally, so they got her the only way they could get her.”
The separation goes beyond the needs of the Marine Corps and ignores the needs of the Marine, the attorney said.
“This is what they wanted,” the Marine attorney said. “They wanted her to be found derelict in duty. They wanted her to be found to be an inadequate leader. They wanted something to hang their hat on, and they couldn’t get it any other way, so it just showed me their true colors.”
The Mental Health of Vulnerable Service Members Is Weaponized
But there are other ways to tear down Marines in crisis.
Even if the preliminary hearing officer makes a recommendation to dismiss a case during an Article 32 hearing—the military equivalent of a grand jury hearing—their opinions are not binding, and the chain of command can punish the accused with career-ending consequences.
In other words, a service member’s boss can override the decision of the officer overseeing the hearing.
An exposé published by The War Horse in 2020 explored the case of Marine veteran Cpl. Thae Ohu, who was threatened with a gag order after she spoke up about a failed investigation into her sexual assault allegations and the mistreatment of her long-standing mental illness.
While in uniform, every time Ohu turned for help, her leaders ignored her until she was ultimately charged with attempted murder.
After multiple admissions to the hospital, diagnoses of several mental health issues, and a recommendation from Navy doctors that she be medically retired, one bad day turned Ohu’s health care case into a court case. After a breakup with her then-live-in boyfriend following a psychiatric episode, she attacked the bedroom door with a knife as he stood behind the closed and locked door. But even as her former boyfriend fought to get her care because he said he realized the attack came as part of a mental health crisis, the Marine Corps charged her with attempted murder.
Following a series of court-martial hearings—where a Christmas decoration with the name of the man who allegedly raped Ohu years earlier hung beside the courtroom—the judge presented her commanding general with a range of options including a punitive discharge, and administrative separation, or to allow her to be medically retired.
Military leaders approved a bad conduct discharge, stripping her of her access to a Veterans Affairs home loan, education benefits, and mental health care to manage her service-connected disabilities.
But the effects of her court-martial and her months of being denied mental health care, as well as the conditions of her imprisonment, had a lasting impact. She now worries she’ll never be able to forgive the leaders who discarded her and that healing from the traumas inflicted on her during her service will be a lifelong journey, she said.
During her confinement in the “anti-suicide cell” at a confinement facility in Chesapeake, Virginia, she was denied her Bible, not given enough menstrual pads, and was limited to wearing a green nylon tunic—dubbed an “anti-suicide smock,” Ohu said. She was forced to sleep on the floor with only a thin blue mat.
When she needed to use the bathroom, she did so into a small hole in the floor covered with a metal grate, Ohu said.
When she defecated, she was forced to press her feces through the holes with her fingertips, Ohu said. Guards didn’t provide enough toilet paper to clean the mess. Guards also didn’t allow her to properly clean her hands before being forced to eat with them. A Marine attorney familiar with the case verified Ohu’s description.
“I’m, like, really disgusted by myself,” Ohu said during a phone interview, adding that she ate “finger food” with her palms, the tops of her hands, or a cup to avoid the bacteria.
Throughout her time in the anti-suicide cell, she constantly thought about killing herself as she smelled the waste inside the concrete hole, she said.
With the tips of her fingernails, she slowly pulled and tugged on the nylon threads of her anti-suicide smock until they broke loose. She then held the strings taut between her fingers and sawed into her legs.
Over and over.
She used the strings from the smock to carve into her skin dozens of times, she said. But even after she left the anti-suicide cell covered in cuts, Ohu continued to be denied mental health treatment. Defense attorneys familiar with the case confirmed the injuries.
“I was treated like an animal,” Ohu said of her time in confinement. “I’m still fucked up from it.”
As Ohu awaits the final decision on her case, she often reflects on how her command failed to investigate her sexual assault complaint. Unless the criminal justice system is removed entirely from the chain of command, abuse and manipulation will continue to persist, she said.
“When you go online and when you’ve served with men and women who have been sexually assaulted or sexually harassed, you know there’s a piece of them that’s just gone and it never leaves,” Ohu said. “It’s a part of them.”
Ohu’s attorney Eric Montalvo, veteran judge advocate, agrees.
“Marines don’t leave anyone behind,” Montalvo reiterated to The War Horse. “The Corps is doing just that in cases involving mental health and sexual assault. We know how to do better and we should.”
Lt. Col. Schuller and the commander overseeing the cases of Rubio and Ohu, Maj. Gen. Julian D. Alford, declined multiple interview requests through public affairs.
“Fast and Loose” With Doctor-Patient Confidentiality
After Duval left the hospital after he tried to kill himself in the New River, his command took him to the brig, where he would be imprisoned for the next 240 days. Despite a new diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder for pre-service traumas, he did not receive any therapy sessions for six months.
As detailed in part one of this series, the rampant disregard for the rights of the accused during trials is not just commonplace, it is deeply entrenched in the culture of the Marine Corps justice system.
During the trial in February, an expert testified that Duval had been experiencing a psychiatric episode when he was grabbed from behind in the New River, and so he was not responsible for his actions. The psychiatrist for the prosecution agreed that the Marine was experiencing a psychiatric episode but testified that he could still be responsible for his actions, an attorney familiar with the case said.
In December, the judge overseeing Duval’s case, recognized the defendant’s need for intense mental health treatment and ordered Duval to be seen at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune, where his treating psychiatrist, Lt. Cmdr. Joshua McDevitt, the brig psychiatrist, also served as the director of mental health programs, according to officials.
McDevitt treated Duval when he was initially placed in pretrial confinement and oversaw the mental health professionals who treated him during his court-martial.
But once Duval began treatment, the prosecutors took the unprecedented step of interviewing Dr. McDevitt so he could serve as a witness against his patient, a Marine attorney said. In court, Duval said the doctor’s participation violated psychotherapist-patient privilege when he shared health care information without the express permission of his client.
Officials at Camp Lejeune declined to comment on the particular case; however, 1st Lt. Ace Padilla explained that, in general, “Rules in place ensure that doctors do not violate doctor-patient privilege though. Evidentiary rules are separate and distinct from HIPAA.”
Health care providers in the military are often exempted from HIPAA law to inform commanders of why a service member may be unfit for military service. However, that information is still protected under the Privacy Act of 1974 from being released by commanders to other members of a service member’s unit.
But unlike civilians, service members cannot sue a health care institution for HIPAA violations or the military for wrongdoing.
In the case where the sick Marine was dragged from the river, three active-duty and veteran judge advocates—as well as Duval himself—questioned why the prosecution took the step of adding the defendant’s treating psychiatrist to their witness list in addition to the court-ordered psychiatrist who conducted the mental health evaluation required during a court-martial.
Duval wrote a letter to the judge, which he shared with The War Horse.
“When I learned Doc McDevitt would be testifying against me and talked to the prosecutors, I felt betrayed,” the Marine wrote. He hadn’t waived his right to confidentiality during mental health treatment, he wrote.
“I feel like I cannot trust anybody.”
During an interview, an attorney in the Marine Reserves who spoke in an unofficial capacity told The War Horse the prosecutors’ concerning actions in interviewing and trying to call the psychiatrist as a witness are a likely side effect of the military being “fast and loose with doctor confidentiality.”
“[This] speaks to a culture of being used to routinely speaking to others about patient information,” she said.
Two Marines familiar with the case told The War Horse they agreed.
“The Current System Is Concerning”
On Feb. 7, the judge presiding over the New River Marine’s case denied the prosecutors’ request for the treating psychiatrist to testify during a closed session, according to the Marine familiar with the case.
Like others interviewed about Duval’s case, including a Marine involved with the trial, the attorney involved in the investigation of Rubio-Fleischer said that if ever there is a case to test the boundaries of doctor-patient privilege, the Duval case is not it.
“If this is truly to rebut his mental state at the time, they should have just gotten another independent expert, not someone who appears to have a privileged relationship,” she said.
But prosecutors already had such an expert, said Marines familiar with the case.
These cases aren’t bad just for the Marines involved: They affect everyone in the ranks or who will serve in the U.S. Armed Forces.
“Perceptions about fairness in the system affect the views of influencers—parents, coaches, counselors—and that can affect recruiting and retention,” said Rob Bracknell, the legal adviser to an international organization. “These influencers want to know the kids are going to be well taken care of in the service.”
It’s not just the people influencing new recruits that the Marine Corps should be worried about, he said.
“I think if you polled service members, most would say they don’t trust the system,” Bracknell said.
And it affects those charged with maintaining justice, too.
“The constant demands for updates and reports on high-profile cases are designed to ensure the prosecutors and judge advocates know that Headquarters Marine Corps is watching and evaluating,” he said.
One of the defense attorneys in the ongoing MARSOC 3 homicide trial, Colby Vokey, backed Bracknell’s concerns during a phone interview.
“We’re moving backward with fewer and fewer rights for the accused,” Vokey said. “The current system is concerning.”
Kevin McDermott, a Marine defense attorney turned whistleblower who first spoke out about abuses of power in the military criminal justice system 40 years ago, agreed.
“The public should be outraged that their child could choose to serve our country but if they are accused of a crime, because the military believes the accused don’t matter, they will just be thrown to the wayside,” McDermott said.
On Feb. 11, a jury panel found Duval guilty of one specification of assault consummated by a battery. The sentence carries a maximum sentence of 180 days and the potential for a bad conduct discharge. The judge did not sentence him to a punitive discharge.
Instead, Duval was released from the brig that day. He was discharged from the Marine Corps with a general discharge on April 1.
Now a Marine veteran, he reflected on how mental health and suicide was treated in his unit and by the military justice system.
“It’s pretty horrific to look at it—and to witness it, it’s pretty bad too,” Duval said. “It felt like if you asked for help, you got pushed to the wayside. You are no longer useful.”
The prosecutors and psychiatrist involved in Duval’s case each declined to comment through public affairs.
The “Monday Morning Quarterback”
As Duval was locked in a cell and denied access to mental health treatment following his suicide attempt, his battalion commander, Lt. Col. Christina R. Henry, was being investigated for allegedly fostering a toxic command climate, including claims that she made a junior enlisted Marine remove their rank so she could use it to promote her child’s service dog.
During the course of this investigation, a 175-page internal report was provided to The War Horse. The internal report was largely redacted, but Henry’s name appears multiple times, and it includes dates she was assigned to her unit. Additionally, two Marines familiar with the investigation verified the authenticity of the documents and confirmed that Henry was the focus of the investigation and report.
The report reveals there have been several whistleblower complaints, as well as the recommendations of investigators, about Henry that were downplayed by the Corps’ most senior military officers.
It also shows that the most senior Marines in the unit—dubbed “The Big 5”—sided with the Marine who signed their performance reviews instead of the Marines they led.
“Specifically, when I interviewed members of what was known as the ‘Big 5,’ it was clear to me there was a level of protection and loyalty toward [Henry] among this group which was not shared by other witnesses I interviewed,” an investigator wrote.
In total, the report includes more than 1,600 “facts and findings” and relies on interviews with Marines from across Henry’s unit who ranged from junior officers to the most senior enlisted Marines.
“There was no reason to doubt the credibility of any of the witnesses,” the investigator wrote.
In the report, the investigator identified that Henry fostered a toxic command climate where commanders are given no autonomy. She publicly “degrades, ridicules, and belittles officers” in front of their enlisted Marines, the report states. She punished the officer with the worst performance in her unit by forcing that person to carry a stuffed animal known as the “loser’s trophy.”
An investigator said Henry’s Marines feared retribution and that her deceptiveness and “lack of truthfulness diminished her credibility.” She made at least 11 false official statements, the report states.
The investigator also revealed that Henry unlawfully influenced commanders by forcing them to punish Marines, which “effectively removed the ability of her commanders to use their good judgment.” This constituted unlawful command influence. And when a Marine attempted to request mast—a process to appeal a commander’s decision—they faced retaliation.
Each of those behaviors are punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
“Derelict in Her Duties”
According to the report, Henry, a former aide to the secretary of the Navy, not only unjustly relieved a major, but criticized his language barrier in performance reviews. The report criticized Henry for failing to effectively communicate her policies and guidance, and described her as “derelict in her duties” for the way she “conducts counselings [sic] and maintains the records.”
“[Henry’s] inability to take responsibility for any of her actions, or for her command, is quite unbelievable to me,” the investigator wrote. Of the 438 Marines who participated in a survey detailed in the report, 94% reported a hostile work environment.
The report includes more than 125 negative comments that appear to be specifically directed at Lt. Col. Henry. The report contains four positive comments about the commander.
While members of the “Big 5” told the investigator that Henry was willing to hear dissenting opinions, the investigator found that four of the 17 company commanders agreed. Of the eight enlisted leaders interviewed, one said Henry was open to differing opinions.
Marines interviewed by investigators also pointed toward failed training events where “there is no planning or purpose other than going to the field.” Henry’s “risk-aversion” jeopardized Marine lives during cold weather training in Bridgeport, California, they said.
During a blizzard, Marines were stranded with no food and water. The infantry battalion “needed a resupply to survive,” and 2nd Maintenance Battalion—referred to as “Maintenance Second Battalion” by Marines in the report—was tasked with the job. They were ordered not to go because they “did not have adequate training in the weather,” even though they had trained for a week and had been driving in similar conditions for a month. The decision was described as “unethical” by a Marine interviewed by investigators.
In the end, a Marine from the infantry unit brought supplies to the Marines.
“Again, [she] has no problem letting all of her Marines around her take the blame,” they said.
Henry told investigators that she had not failed in her mission—adding that if she had, the commanding general would have known about it.
“Trouble always seemed to disappear,” Duval said, adding that junior Marines who told him about the incident felt like they were kept in the dark.
“It seems like it was being covered up,” Duval said. “A lot of things seemed like that with her, it seemed like. She was in a lot of trouble herself, but it seemed to always disappear.”
One Marine said “he would never go to war with her if he had the option,” and another comment reflects that the Marine “would not follow her into battle based on her leadership style.” Other Marines, including Duval, agreed.
“I would honestly say it would be hard to come by somebody that would say something positive,” said Duval, who was unaware of the command investigation, during a phone interview.
“No Further Investigation Is Warranted”
But this was not the first time Marines had filed complaints against Henry that were investigated by the Corps.
An investigation of previous allegations of toxic command climate were originally determined to be unfounded. But the most recent investigation found that a “preponderance of the evidence suggested there was a toxic command climate,” they wrote.
The initial inspector general report was signed by a Marine named Brig. Gen. Forrest Poole III on June 7, 2021.
In the end, an investigator recommended that Henry be fired from her position leading her unit and should face punitive and administrative actions under the UCMJ.
But on Feb. 4, Lt. Gen. William M. Jurney, the commanding general overseeing Henry’s unit and the investigation—as well as a contender to become the next commandant of the Marine Corps, according to a senior Marine attorney—did not follow the investigator’s recommendations.
Instead, Jurney wrote in his endorsement letter that he would administratively counsel Henry “to correct and improve her leadership, judgment, and communication deficiencies.”
Both Poole and Jurney declined to comment through Marine Corps public affairs.
Henry did not respond to three interview requests.
“We will not be able to support your request to interview Lt. Col. Christina Henry,” wrote 1st Lt. Kevin Stapleton in an email response.
Henry remains in command of her Marines.
When asked what the Corps inaction will cost, Duval’s answer was direct.
“I would say the Marine Corps’ inaction has caused a lot of people to lose a lot of trust in the Marine Corps,” he said. “You’re putting terrible leaders in charge and allowing them to stay there, and you expect good people to stay around and they’re not going to.
“It’s going to get people killed,” the Marine said. “It’s gonna get people hurt for no good reason.”

The Red Sox hammered Michael Wacha in his final postseason appearance with the Rays last October, signed him to a $7 million deal in the off-season, and are now watching him flourish.
Making his first start for the Sox at Fenway Park on Easter Sunday against the Twins, Wacha mowed down the opposition over five scoreless innings, holding the Twins to just one hit while the Sox completed an impressive 8-1 victory.
Despite averaging just 91 mph on his fastball, down from 94 mph a year ago, Wacha used a heavy dose of changeups to keep the Twins off-balance. He cruised through the first three innings on just 37 pitches. He had to work for a 15-pitch strikeout of former Astros star Carlos Correa in the fourth, but was able to complete five innings on just 79 pitches before manager Alex Cora pulled the plug.
It was a masterful performance from a pitcher who has been one of the worst in baseball in recent years. From 2019 through 2021, Wacha’s 5.11 ERA ranked 84th out of 92 pitchers with 250 innings in that span.
He signed in Boston on a one-year deal worth $7 million as Chaim Bloom and Co. attempted to add pitching depth on a budget, never spending more than $10 million (James Paxton) on any one pitcher. Wacha earned the No. 4 spot in the starting rotation and has looked like a hidden gem thus far, despite missing some velocity on his heater.
He threw more changeups than four-seam fastballs on Sunday, using 24 changeups and 22 four-seamers, generating two whiffs on each. He was aggressive in the strike zone and let his defense do the rest.
Rafael Devers had an outstanding day in the field, where he turned a double play at shortstop in the fourth inning, then sprinted into center field to make an over-the-shoulder catch to rob Trevor Lamach of a single in the fifth.
Lefty Matt Strahm took over for Wacha in a 0-0 game in the sixth and continued to look like Cora’s secret weapon. The lefty pitched a shutdown sixth, though a single to Max Kepler cost him an earned run when Ryan Brasier entered and let Kepler score on a sacrifice fly by Lamach in the seventh. Right-handers are 0-for-10 against Strahm this season.
The Sox scored their first two runs on a pair of sacrifice flies in the bottom of the sixth. Devers started the frame with a softly hit liner to first base, but Miguel Sano couldn’t handle it and Devers reached on the error.
Xander Bogaerts, who has busted out of his mini-slump in a big way, hammered the ball all afternoon on Sunday, including a double off the Green Monster to push Devers to third base. Back-to-back sac flies by J.D. Martinez and Alex Verdugo cashed in Devers and Bogaerts.
They added six more in the eighth. Bogaerts hit an infield single to score Kiké Hernandez from third, J.D. Martinez punched an RBI double off the wall to score another, Trevor Story cashed in two on a single up the middle, Jackie Bradley Jr. scored one with a line drive to right field and Kevin Plawecki pushed one across with another sac fly.
Bradley was on base three times. He’s been on base multiple times in three of the last four games, despite accomplishing the feat just 25 times during the entirety of the 2021 season.
The Sox’ bullpen was a big question mark coming into the season, but has looked just fine so far. Behind Strahm and Brasier, Jake Diekman handled a flawless eighth inning and Austin Davis pitched a scoreless ninth.
The Sox return to Fenway for the series finale against the Twins in their annual 11 a.m. game on Marathon Monday. | https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/04/17/red-sox-michael-wacha-near-flawless-in-8-1-win-over-twins/ | 2022-04-17T20:59:15Z | https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/04/17/red-sox-michael-wacha-near-flawless-in-8-1-win-over-twins/ | false | 4 |
The 2021-22 Premier League season has reached the business end of the campaign and the ‘run-in’ is going to be wild up and down the league.
And there’s no bigger fight than the one that gets your team’s colors on the trophy’s ribbons.

Manchester City and Liverpool are battling for the Premier League title and it’s almost impossible to imagine anyone else joining the fray unless both teams get stuck in a gigantic rocket and sent into space (in which case Chelsea needs to get 17 points to claim the crown).
Below we focus on the standings and fixtures while analyzing the title hopes for the era’s top rivals. We will update this article each week between now and the end of the season.
Premier League run-in: Top four battle – As it stands
1st: Man City – 74 points (31 games) GD +52
2nd: Liverpool – 73 points (31 games) GD +57
Manchester City
Pep Guardiola stressed that he believes his team has to win all seven of its remaining Premier League matches following the 2-2 draw with Liverpool. Yet there’s no underrating that even drawing Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium goes a long way toward defending the Premier League title, especially given the fixture lists for both teams. See if this makes sense: Even though a Liverpool win accompanied by a Man City loss in the same weekend would tilt the scale, it also feels like it would take a pronounced run of surprises for City not to claim the crown.
Remaining games: Brighton (H), Watford (H), Leeds (A), Newcastle (H), West Ham (A), Aston Villa (H). TBD: Wolves (A)
Rating their chances: 60 percent
Liverpool
Liverpool needs to navigate three competitions and also manage to take at least 7-of-9 points from Man United at home, Tottenham at home, and a Merseyside derby at Anfield. And even doing that supposed Man City draws at least once. Considering City has double-digit league win streaks in each of the last two seasons, that’s no given. If the Reds manage to reclaim the Premier League crown, it will be incredibly well done.
Remaining games: Man United (H), Everton (H), Newcastle United (A), Tottenham (H), Aston Villa (A), Southampton (A), Wolves (H)

A 41-year-old mother accused of killing her two children allegedly told investigators she did not “want them”, police have said. Odette Lysse Joassaint was taken into custody on Tuesday night at her apartment in Little Haiti, Miami-Dade County, following a number of cold 911 calls. When officers from the Miami-Dade Police Department turned up at the building, a three-year-old boy and a five-year-old girl were found deceased.Both children were lying in a prone position on the bed with their arms, legs and necks tied-up, a police report said.

Dad-to-Be Gets Flack for Running to Friends and Not Girlfriend After Learning Baby Is a Boy at Gender Reveal
Travis Gober said his actions came out of a feeling of total shock. “I wish I could go back and change it, but we all know I love her," he told Inside Edition.
A young dad-to-be was so excited to learn he was having a son, he apparently forgot to celebrate with his girlfriend, instead running straight to his friends in an embarrassing moment caught on camera.
At their recent baseball-themed gender reveal event. Hannah Calverley pitched a ball to Travis Gober, and when he hit it, it exploded into a cloud of blue power.
After seeing that they would be having a boy, Gober ran to his buddies, seemingly ignoring the pregnant mother-to-be.
Footage of the moment quickly went viral on TikTok and social media pounced.
“Should be a moment between the ma and dad first before ‘the boys,’” one commenter wrote.
“You deserved better than this,” another wrote, apparently addressing Calverley.
But Calverley said the father of her child should not be criticized for his reaction.
“Travis is a great guy,” his girlfriend Hannah Calverly told Inside Edition. “One 15-second video definitely does not show his character.”
Gober said his actions came out of a feeling of total shock.
“I was just really shocked it was a boy because I really thought it was going to be a girl,” he said. “I wish I could go back and change it, but we all know I love her.”

Mike Trout Leaves Game vs. Rangers After Hand Hit By 81-MPH Pitch
Angels star center fielder Mike Trout was forced to leave Sunday’s game against the Rangers after his left hand was hit by a pitch. The three-time MVP received attention from the team’s training staff briefly before heading for the dugout.
Los Angeles later tweeted that his X-Rays came back negative and the centerfielder is considered day-to-day. Trout exited the game after going 1-for-2 with an RBI double. He’s reached base in eight of the nine games he’s played in this season.
The development is a crushing blow for the Angels, who have been forced to deal with Trout’s absence a lot in recent years. A calf injury limited Trout just 36 games in 2021, which came after the pandemic-shortened ’20 season in which he only played 53 games. From 2017 to ’19, various injuries forced him to miss 98 combined games. Prior to that year, he averaged 158 games per season from 2013 to ’16.
SI Recommends
To start 2022, Trout is batting .267/.405/.567 with two home runs and three RBI. He was replaced in the lineup by Brandon Marsh.

Three homicides on Easter Sunday: Two killed in Prichard shooting, man who drove to ER shot dead in hospital parking lot
MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - Three people are dead after two connected shootings on Easter Sunday in Prichard and Mobile.
The first deadly incident happened around 4 a.m. on Wilson Avenue in Prichard.
According to investigators, Justin Trotter, 24, and Romello Williams, 25, shot and killed each other. City spokesperson TJ Pettway said the two men were arguing and that led to a shootout.
About half an hour after that shooting, Mobile Police were called to an incident at University Hospital.
Investigators said Robert McMillan, 42, drove to the emergency room to check on his friend who was one of the Prichard homicide victims. Police said McMillan got into arguments with several people in the parking lot.
According to detectives, someone gray Hyundai Sonata got out of the car, shot McMillan, then ran away toward Stanton Road. McMillan died from his injuries.
FOX10 News reached out to University Hospital and received a statement.
“Early this morning, a person critically wounded in a shooting was taken to USA Health University Hospital,” said Gary Mans, a USA Health Spokesman. “Subsequently, a crowd of people known to the victim and the shooter gathered outside University Hospital and an argument began. One person shot another person and left the scene. We are cooperating with Mobile Police Department in their investigation.”
Anyone with information about the double homicide in Prichard is asked to call police there at 251-452-2211.

Child dies in house fire in Brisbane, parents and four-year-old escape
A six-year-old boy is dead and a family traumatised after a fatal house fire in Brisbane’s inner north on Easter Monday.
The child’s mother and father escaped the flames, along with the boy’s four-year-old sister, Nine News reports.
The house was in flames before 4am on Monday, with the fire so intense attending fire crews could not enter the residence at first.
A relative told reporters the dead child had been looking forward to his birthday in about two weeks.
The “extremely distressed” parents remained on scene as firefighters tried to contain the fire and neighbours were comforting the little girl by bringing her toys.
The fire started at the rear of the property, near the boy’s bedroom.
Fire crews were not able to enter the house at first because of the intensity of the heat.
“Eventually we made entry through the front door, then made our way through a hallway to the back and worked back through the house from there,” a Queensland Fire and Emergency Services officer told Nine News. | https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/child-dies-in-house-fire-in-brisbane-parents-and-four-year-old-escape-20220418-p5ae2z.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_national | 2022-04-17T21:20:40Z | https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/child-dies-in-house-fire-in-brisbane-parents-and-four-year-old-escape-20220418-p5ae2z.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_national | false | 6 |

Patio landscaping ideas: 10 unique ways to elevate your seating space
Does your outdoor living area need an update? These patio landscaping ideas will help you get inspired
The opportunities are almost endless when it comes to patio landscaping ideas – all it takes is a bit of creativity and – let's face it – a bit of budgeting. But the very best ones can totally transform a space, enabling it to be used to its full potential while looking fantastic. So, they are well worth considering if you want to transform your backyard into the outdoor living area of your dreams, as opposed to a dull stretch of lackluster paving.
Perhaps you want your patio to be split into zones, sheltered by contemporary overhead structures, or to feature a pond. Or maybe, the idea of built-in furniture appeals for a sleek aesthetic that's low maintenance, too. And once your landscaping plans are sorted, you'll have the perfect base for the rest of your patio ideas.
10 patio landscaping looks for your backyard
We've brought together some of our top looks for landscaping around patios, in a range of styles, to get you inspired for your own garden.
1. Opt for wraparound benches
Sure, there's lots of gorgeous garden furniture you can choose from for your patio, from hanging chairs to corner sofas. But if you love a sleek and fuss-free look, there is an alternative: opting for built-in designs that form part of the overall landscaping.
Benches like these are a classic choice and great for large family gardens or social hubs. Planting and a water feature around the perimeter soften the space, providing a relaxing and sensory backdrop. We also like how timber has been stacked below – its organic texture contrasts pleasingly with the modern paving. Plus, it's conveniently on hand when the fire pit needs more fuel.
Speaking of which, fire pit patio ideas are definitely worth adding to your list of potential plans. A flickering flame makes a lovely focal point for the center of an outdoor space.
2. Light up your patio landscaping
To get the most out of your outdoor living space, you'll want to be able to use it once night falls, as well as throughout the day. This means, you'll need to invest in some patio lighting ideas.
Lights are an important part of any landscaping plan, as they can totally transform the mood of a plot while highlighting key features. Of course, they're practical too.
Uplights, spotlights, strip lights – they can all be layered up as part of your patio landscaping scheme to accentuate edges of zones and interesting foliage, as well as illuminating task areas such as outdoor kitchens. The result? A welcoming space that you and your guests will definitely want to spend more time in.
3. Choose a split-level design
Whether you've got a sloping plot that's crying out for a bit more structure, or you simply want to define different zones in your backyard more clearly, adding levels is a brilliant approach.
Here, sunken seating benefits from the extra shelter, not just from the surrounding walls but also from the beams suspended overhead in an eye-catching green. Such patio cover ideas can be accessorized too – think glowing festoon lights or climbing plants, for instance.
On the higher level of the patio, a storage unit doubles up as a stylish rock garden – an easy-care type of planting that's perfect for busy gardeners who have less time for backyard maintenance. And on the left, a billowing border of perennials brings a sense of soft texture and bright color to the scene.
The Great Garden Weekender
The warmer weather is here, so get inspired to be outside and make the most of your outdoor space with our Great Garden Weekender event. We've got all the advice and inspiration you need to transform your space so you can enjoy being outdoors with friends and family throughout spring and summer.
4. Zone the space with screens
Another way to divide up your space is by incorporating garden screening ideas into your patio landscaping.
This woven structure offers a wonderfully naturalistic vibe while creating distinct 'garden rooms'.
Half-height fences or garden walls, large planters filled with tall grasses or shrubs, and decorative trellis panels intertwined with pretty climbing plants are other ways to break up your patio and make it more interesting to explore. And, they also create a stronger sense of privacy where needed.
5. Make a statement with overhead structures
Samuel Moore, director of Consilium Hortus, highlights louvered pergolas as a major trend for patio landscaping features right now, with most of his clients wanting one.
Unlike traditional timber structures, you can manipulate the amount of sun or shade your space gets. And they can be customized with chic mod cons for extra comfort. 'We have even added elements like blinds, heaters, and glass doors to these structures to create more room-like structures,' he says.
This dining setup benefits from one that's been kitted around with LED lighting and adjustable side shades, making outdoor entertaining easy whatever the weather. More overhead structures line the nearby pathway, offering drama and sculptural interest.
We love the patio paving used here too, in its light, bright shade – the perfect choice for a contemporary scheme.
6. Surround a patio with built-in flower beds
Interested in patio gardening? One approach is to invest in a load of planters, fill them with your favorite flowers, foliage, and even veggies, and arrange them around your plot.
But if you're looking for something a little more permanent, and are planning a more dramatic makeover, then built-in containers are a great option. This garden, for instance, incorporates pockets of planting into its multiple tiers. Built in the same materials as the surrounding steps, they draw the eye around the space while keeping the overall look cohesive.
7. Up the sensory appeal with a patio pond
Garden ponds always make a lovely addition to a backyard, whatever their size. So if you're looking to up the sensory appeal of your space, why not consider one as part of your patio landscaping plans? Plus, they're good for wildlife, too.
This sleek, square design works well in a contemporary plot. And, it's been dyed black for extra drama against the pale paving. However, there are all kinds of shapes and styles to go for, so think about the sort of pond that would suit your garden's theme best.
We also like the small stretch of verdant lawn in this space, which brings a pop of lush green to the pared-back surroundings while tying in with bordering bamboos beautifully.
8. ...then add stepping stones for a playful touch
If you are adding a stretch of water to your outside space and want to give it more of a unique twist, then perhaps you should consider some stepping stone ideas.
They're a great way to make a seating spot feel like a real destination in your garden, such as this small bench surrounded by plants. But even if you don't want to include a pond, they're a fun way of getting from A to B regardless – weave them through a lawn or around your flower beds for an exploratory sense of play.
9. Get creative with your dining area
Sometimes, it's worth thinking a little more outside the box when it comes to your garden table ideas, especially if you want to make a statement for your patio.
Take this stunning dining setup, for instance. The sleek table is suspended from the nearby half-height wall, creating a modern, 'floating' appearance that is sure to be a talking point.
Layers of frothy planting in a tonal scheme surround the space for a blissful backdrop. Overall, we'd say it's a gorgeous base for relaxing, whether you're hosting a sophisticated garden dinner party with friends or a family brunch on the weekend.
10. Arrange your patio around a pool
If you want a pool in your backyard, then you'll likely want a patio to surround it. After all, sun loungers are a must for post-swim relaxation, as is a parasol. And a seating area for serving up snacks, or gathering around a fire once night draws in, can be welcome additions too.
In this backyard, zones set up for different activities are arranged around a central pool. This gives the space structure while allowing easy swimming access from all sides.
There are lots more pool patio ideas in our dedicated feature.

It’s a convergence that happens only rarely. Coinciding with Judaism’s Passover, Christianity’s Easter and Islam’s holy month of Ramadan, Buddhists, Baha’is, Sikhs, Jains and Hindus also are celebrating their holy days in April.
The springtime collision of religious holidays is inspiring a range of interfaith events. In Chicago, there’s the Interfaith Trolley Tour coming up on April 24, in which a trolley will make stops at different faiths’ houses of worship. In cities across the country, Muslims are inviting people to interfaith iftars so they can break their daily Ramadan fasts in community with their non-Muslim neighbors.
In addition to Passover, Easter and Ramadan, holy days occurring in April this year include the Sikhs’ and Hindus’ Vaisakhi, the Jains’ Mahavir Jayanti, the Baha’i festival of Ridvan, and the Theravada Buddhist New Year.
Across faiths, the celebration of the overlapping holy days and religious festivals is seen as a chance to share meals and rituals. For some, it’s also a chance to learn how to cooperate among faith traditions on crucial issues, including how to help curb climate change, fight religious intolerance, and assist people fleeing Afghanistan, Ukraine and other nations during the global refugee crisis.
“The rare convergence of such a wide array of holy days is an opportunity for all of us to share what we hold sacred with our neighbors from other traditions as a way of building understanding and bridging divides,” said Eboo Patel, the founder and president of Interfaith America, previously known as Interfaith Youth Core. “This is Interfaith America in microcosm.”
On Chicago’s south side, the upcoming trolley tour is intended to teach participants about this year’s April holidays, which are converging for the first time in the same month since 1991, said Kim Schultz, coordinator of creative initiatives at the Chicago Theological Seminary’s InterReligious Institute.
The trolley will stop at several sacred spaces, including a Baptist church, a mosque and a synagogue, and will end with an iftar at sunset catered by recently resettled Afghan refugees.
“We’re asking people to take advantage of this confluence, the convergence … more than half of the world is celebrating or commemorating the critical moment in our faith traditions,” said Hind Makki director of recruitment and communications at American Islamic College.
The event is sponsored by the American Islamic College, the Chicago Theological Seminary, the Center of Christian-Muslim Engagement for Peace and Justice at the Lutheran School of Theology, the Hyde Park & Kenwood Interfaith Council and the Parliament of the World’s Religions. After more than two years of COVID-19 restrictions that upended many holidays, followers are eager to meet in person again.
Organizers of the Chicago event said they had arranged for a trolley that would carry 25 people, but there was so much interest across faiths that they had to arrange for a bigger trolley for 40 people instead. And then, when more kept joining, a second trolley.
“This is a great time,” Makki said. “So, why not take the opportunity to learn about each other’s traditions, to learn about each other through those traditions.”
As part of the month’s celebrations, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA opened its mosques to host dozens of interfaith iftars in cities across the nation centered on the theme of ‘justice through compassion.’
“During our gatherings across 35 cities we emphasized that the world that we see now stands on the brink of a world war,” said Amjad Mahmood Khan, national director of public affairs for Ahmadiyya. “And only the collective prayers and actions of the faithful can really save humanity from self-destruction.”
Faith leaders from Christian, Jewish, Sikh and Hindu faiths gathered recently for a virtual panel celebrating the convergence of their sacred observances. Among the issues discussed were shared concerns over the rise of white Christian Nationalism and legislation in Arizona and Florida that they criticized for marginalizing LGBTQ young people.
“We see that convergence as highly symbolic, maybe even divinely ordained as our people need to reaffirm our shared values of love, freedom and justice in order to disrupt white Christian Nationalists’ attempts to decide what ideas, identities and practices are valued and respected,” said the Rev. Jennifer Butler, founder and chief executive of the Washington-based multifaith group Faith in Public Life.
“This sacred season presents the opportunity for solidarity, for prophetic witness as we lament the rise of intolerance and discriminatory laws that threaten our nation’s quest to be a multiracial and multireligious democracy,” she said.
It will also be an important moment for members of different faiths to find common ground in the runup to the U.S. midterm elections, said Nina Fernando, executive director of the Shoulder to Shoulder campaign, a multifaith national coalition committed to countering and preventing anti-Muslim discrimination.
“With the time that we’re living where essentially we’re polarized and divided among racial and religious and political lines, we can take this opportunity to talk about how to live well together amidst our diversity and talk about these holidays overlapping,” Fernando said.
The convergence of the holidays also offers a chance to dispel misconceptions about faith traditions and appreciate shared values, said the Rev. Stephen Avino, executive director of the Parliament for World Religions.
“The holidays are the enactment of the core values, and we can actually see before our eyes the beauty of that tradition through the holidays and through ritual,” Avino said. “You can compare that to your own traditions, and you can see the similarities and differences and within that is the beauty of that. And you start to see that faith as being worthy of reverence, while still maintaining your own faith.”
The traditional Greek Easter feast highlights the classics, including magiritsa, red-dyed Easter eggs, various cheese pies, and, of course, the centerpiece, roasted lamb.

Espanyol took full advantage with Raul De Tomas scoring with a free-kick shortly afterwards, but they were beaten at the death.

But PSG won it in first-half stoppage time when Gerson handled in the area and, after a VAR check, Kylian Mbappe scored from the spot.
William Saliba had a late goal disallowed for Marseille as PSG moved 15 points clear at the top with six games left. They can win the league at Angers in their next game.

SLUSHY SNOW TONIGHT & MONDAY
Your First Alert Weather Forecast:
Our next weather maker moves in for tonight and Monday. It will produce several inches of slushy snow, perhaps 1-4″ worth across our area. The highest accumulations will occur on grassy surfaces but some slick spots could develop on roadways leading to slow travel. Keep this in mind for the AM commute across northeast Wisconsin and the western U.P. Lows tonight will be in the upper 20s to lower 30s.
Areas of snow and snow showers should continue during the day Monday as this clipper system swirls through. Temperatures are going to warm into the upper 30s to lower 40s during the afternoon which may lead to more of a mix of snow & rain over time. There is the potential for a few afternoon snow squalls across the region that could produce localized bursts of snow and reduced visibilities.
Quiet weather holds for Tuesday, but clouds & rain build back in Wednesday. This system looks to be a bit warmer overall so rain should be the main theme for most of us, even though there may be a mix across the North Woods at some point. Breezy winds get going again.
Temperatures may pop up to around 60 on Thursday under a mix of sun & clouds. It’ll stay breezy.
There may be another big storm system that develops next weekend out in the Northern Plains. For us, this system may push some long overdue mild air back into northeast Wisconsin. Early projections call for 60s next Saturday and Sunday. It’s still early so don’t get too hopeful for long lasting warmth but things are at least trending milder for next weekend. More rain is possible starting Friday with some rain and storm chances continuing into Saturday and Sunday.

A feud has broken out in suburbia after one neighbour hoisted the Russian flag in support of Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
Student Izabelle Stevens, 20, initially thought the red, white and blue flag erected along her street in British Columbia, Canada, was just a coincidence, and turned the other cheek.
But she later decided to check the man's social media - and believes the content he shared proves he supports Putin's war.
After watching the horrific events unfold in Ukraine from the safety of her home, Izabelle felt compelled to take action, Yahoo Australia reports.
She posted videos detailing the suburban spat on TikTok, which has now racked up more than two million views.
Izabelle said the clip also sparked a community effort to stand up against the man's misguided support.
She told Yahoo: “At first, I could tell that all of the neighbours in my area were really shocked, but none of us really did anything.
“We were trying to keep the peace and trying be positive.
“It’s kind of like a Canadian thing, where you don't really want to start problems with your neighbour and you want to be kind.”
Izabelle said she decided to take a stand when she saw a visiting maintenance worker become visibly upset by the flag.
She felt that her neighbour displaying the flag was seen to be representing the whole street.
In a video posted on TikTok in early April, Izabelle says the "only reasonable" response was to fly Ukrainian flag.
In just a few days, Izabelle said she noticed other neighbours erecting flagpoles and hoisting the same blue and yellow flag.
She said one of her neighbours, who was on holiday in Mexico at the time, texted another neighbour asking them to take down the Canadian flag in exchange for a Ukrainian one.
Izabelle said: “So then we slowly started surrounding him (with Ukrainian flags).”
In an unsettling escalation, the Russia -supporting neighbour then erected a 20ft-high flagpole flying an obscure red and yellow flag which she said was associated with a Russian far-right hate group.
Izabelle said she confronted the neighbour about the flag, but he said he didn't know its meaning and removed it.
The 20-year-old said the social media attention has led to the road becoming a tourist spot, with people coming to the area just to view the flags.

LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — A man has been arrested on suspicion of shooting and killing a 15-year-old boy who had arranged to buy a cellphone from the suspect, authorities said.

A container ship the length of more than three football fields has finally been pried from the muddy bottom of the Chesapeake Bay more than a month after it ran aground.
The Ever Forward was refloated just before 7 a.m. Sunday by two barges and five tugboats.
A full moon and high spring tide helped provide a lift to the salvage vessels as they pulled and pushed the massive ship from the mud, across a dredged hole, and back into the shipping channel.
The ship was traveling from Baltimore to Norfolk, Virginia, on March 13 when it ran aground just north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. | https://www.local3news.com/regional-national/the-ever-forward-is-finally-free-from-the-chesapeake-bay-one-month-later/article_8ffa2466-be8e-11ec-bd78-6bf803b96d1b.html | 2022-04-17T22:21:47Z | https://www.local3news.com/regional-national/the-ever-forward-is-finally-free-from-the-chesapeake-bay-one-month-later/article_8ffa2466-be8e-11ec-bd78-6bf803b96d1b.html | true | null |

This is the City in Minnesota With the Most COVID-19 Cases
The U.S. has reported more than 79.6 million confirmed COVID-19 cases as of April 12. More than 978,000 Americans have died of COVID-19 -- the highest death toll of any country.
Nationwide, there were an average of 8.9 daily new coronavirus cases per 100,000 Americans in the week ending April 12. Cumulatively, the U.S. has reported 24,265.0 cases per 100,000 Americans, and 298.0 deaths per 100,000 Americans.
In Minnesota, there were an average of 7.5 daily new coronavirus cases per 100,000 residents in the week ending April 12. Cumulatively, Minnesota has reported 25,413.4 cases per 100,000 state residents, the 22nd most of all 50 states. Minnesota has reported 224.8 deaths per 100,000, the 13th fewest of all 50 states.
While the nation’s largest metropolitan areas were hit hardest in the early months of the pandemic, nearly every city has suffered from the virus. Outbreaks are particularly likely to occur in places where large numbers of people tend to congregate, leaving cities with high concentrations of colleges, correctional facilities, and nursing homes particularly at risk.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the St. Cloud metropolitan area has reported 64,749 confirmed cases, or 32,605.8 per 100,000 residents -- the most of any city in Minnesota.
Rochester, the city with the second most cases per capita, has reported 26,188.3 cases per 100,000 residents.
The coronavirus crisis has led to widespread unemployment across the country as consumer-facing businesses are forced to close and customers are encouraged to stay home. Unemployment in St. Cloud peaked at 9.4% in May 2020, and is now at 3.7% as of November 2021.
To determine the metropolitan area in each state with the highest number of COVID-19 cases per capita, 24/7 Wall St. compiled and reviewed data from state and local health departments. We ranked metropolitan areas according to the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents as of April 12. Data was aggregated from the county level to the metropolitan area level using boundary definitions from the U.S. Census Bureau. Population data used to adjust case and death totals came from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2019 American Community Survey and are five-year estimates.

Meet the five most powerful female tech leaders in MENA
Inspired by this year’s Forbes’ list of MENA’s most influential and successful businesswomen, we spotlight the five most powerful women in tech leadership.
These five women hailing from Egypt, Oman, Turkey and Lebanon hold the most challenging and important roles in tech in the Middle East and Africa region, including for big tech names like SAP and Meta.
1. Samia Bouazza
CEO, Multiply Group
Lebanese national Samia Bouazza is CEO of Multiply Group, a double-digit billion-dirham Abu-Dhabi-based holding company. Political science graduate Bouazza founded boutique agency Multiply Marketing Consultancy (MMC) aged just 22 and transformed it into an award-winning global firm which was then acquired by Abu Dhabi-based International Holding Company (IHC) in 2020. Following the acquisition, MMC was transformed into the tech-focused holding company, Multiply Group. The group listed its shares on the Abu Dhabi Stock Exchange (ADX) in December 2021, and had a market capitalisation of US$5.2bn as of January 2022. The group executed six domestic and foreign investment deals in 2021.
Bouazza leads the strategic development of the Group, growing a diversified portfolio of businesses, and over the last six months, has overseen a string of stake acquisitions totalling around AED 5.5bn and included stakes in Emirates Driving Company and Getty Images. A well-known marketing and business speaker, Bouazza has authored and co-authored books that emphasise the value of learning. She currently serves as a board member to several firms including Viola Communications and is passionate about growth, disruptive ideas, wellness, and women’s empowerment.

Turkish national Derya Matras was appointed Meta’s Vice-President of the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey region in early 2020 having spent the previous four and a half years as Meta’s Turkey country director. Just before announcing that it was rebranding from Facebook to Meta in September 2021, Facebook announced that it was launching a two-year, US$50 million investment in programs and research alongside educational, wellness and safety entities, non-profit organisations, and government and cultural institutions in Europe and the Middle East – all of which Matras is leading.
With more than 20 years of experience in strategic roles and leadership positions, Matras spent more than a decade in consulting prior to joining Meta where she advised more than 100 companies across verticals, teams and geographies with seven years as an associate partner at McKinsey and senior associate consultant at Oliver Wyman in Barcelona. Matras holds an MBA from Columbia Business School.
3. Reem Asaad
VP, MENA, Cisco
Egyptian national Reema Asaad joined Cisco in early 2020 and became the first woman to be appointed Vice President for the Middle East and Africa.

In October 2021, Cisco and Expo 2020 Dubai announced a collaboration to launch a UAE program to reduce food waste, while in January 2021, Cisco launched Future Class in cooperation with the UAE University – a smart, AI-based lecture room project.
A highly experienced leader with more than 25 years of experience across industries including technology, financial services and customer experience, Assad spent 15 years at Raya Customer Experience, a business process outsourcing service provider with operations across EMEA serving Fortune 500 firms, most recently serving as CEO. She has an array of accolades under her business belt including a number of Forbes lists since 2015 and most influential women award for impacting the Egyptian society in 2018.
4. Hoda Mansour
Head of Business Process Intelligence – Southern, SAP
Egyptian British national Hoda Mansour was promoted to her current role at the end of 2021, becoming the first woman from the Middle East to hold the position. In this role, she leads the digital transformation conversations with governments and strategic customers across 75 countries. Since joining SAP in 2013, Hoda has played a pivotal role in supporting the company’s strategy to transform its presence in the UAE market, as COO, UAE and Oman, and as leader of SAP Egypt, where her team delivered the best year ever including revenue.
Mansour established the SAP Businesswomen’s Network in Egypt, which promotes open dialogue and equal opportunities for women. She also collaborated with the UN’s Goals for Production and Development in Egypt, which aims to promote sustainable ideas and initiatives by startups that touch upon inclusivity, diversity, and innovation. Forbes acknowledged Mansour’s leadership by recognising her as a powerful Arab female leader on four lists since 2018. Prior to SAP, Mansour held leadership positions at Oracle and Microsoft.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) — Kids hopped around CHS Field in St. Paul ahead of the Saints game on Easter Sunday afternoon.
Minnesotans know, preparing for inconsistent weather is a certainty.
“I think it’s always hit or miss. You never know what you’re gonna get in Minnesota. So it’s fine,” said a mom with her two daughters in tow.
At CHS Field in Lowertown, bundled-up kids were hunting eggs.
“I think it’s in the middle. It’s not that really cold to me,” said a tough child, looking for eggs.
To compare, last year’s Easter — which was two weeks earlier than this year — the high was 77 and there was no rain or snow.
(credit: CBS)
It was one of the first major holidays with a semblance of normalcy, putting in perspective the cooler air.
“This year we’re definitely seeing other people [laughs], as opposed to just being at home,” said a dad with his kids.
The warmest Easter on record in the Twin Cities was in 1977, when it got up to 88 degrees. And the coldest: 1894, when it got down to minus-2. Sunday was somewhere in the middle.
“It’s sort of coldly normal. It’s like a normal weather but it’s also cold,” said an egg hunter.

Some scientists are saying to leave your shoes outside
Published: Apr. 17, 2022 at 11:01 AM MDT|Updated: 6 hours ago
(CNN) – A lot of us wear our shoes around the house, but you might want to think twice.
Researchers with “360 Dust Analysis” say leaving your shoes on inside the house could bring-in potentially harmful pathogens from outside.
They say shoes can carry microorganisms that are drug-resistant, including hospital-associated infectious germs that are difficult to treat.
Toxic road asphalt residue and lawn-treatment chemicals could also be tracked indoors.
If you aren’t interested in walking around barefoot or in socks indoors, the group says a solution could be to have some “indoor only” shoes that never get worn outside.

Temperatures fall to the lower 30s overnight. Plants sensitive to the cold should be covered or brought indoors. Widespread rain with snow mixing arrives midday Monday. Some minor accumulation on grass along & northwest of I-81 is possible.
IMPACT: Freezing cold overnight, wintry mix possible Monday.
Winds relax Sunday night as skies become mostly clear. Temperatures plummet to the lower 30s Sunday night into early Monday morning. A freeze warning goes into effect midnight to 9 am Monday for the majority of the counties in the Susquehanna Valley. Cover plants that are sensitive to the cold or bring them indoors if possible.
A storm developing along the coastline of North Carolina arrives midday Monday. Temperatures should be cool enough at cloud level that some snow may mix in with the rain at times. It's looking more likely that areas along and northwest of I-81 could see some prolonged periods of wet snow with the rain. Minor grassy accumulations are possible, roughly a coating to 1 to 2 inches are forecast, mostly along the ridgetops and higher elevation areas.
Temperatures look to be too warm for this snow to stick to the roadways and the snow will be battling a higher April sun angle. Therefore impacts to travel across the Valley should be slim to none. Areas southeast of I-81 will mostly see plain rain with some snow mixing in at times. Temperatures stay chilly, only rising to the mid to upper 40s early Monday afternoon.
The rain and the wintry mix northwest tapers from southwest to northeast between 12 am and 4 am Monday. Temperatures fall to the upper 30s as skies begin to clear near dawn Tuesday.
Tuesday stays blustery and chilly with highs near 50 degrees. Winds could gust to 30 miles per hour at times. Spotty light rain showers are possible Tuesday afternoon as strong upper-level energy moves across the Great Lakes.
Milder, seasonable weather returns Wednesday with temperatures rising well above average later in the week.
Extended forecast:
Monday: Mostly cloudy. Chance of PM rain and rain/snow mix northwest. High: 48.
Tuesday: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. High: 50.
Wednesday: Partly sunny. High: 58.
Thursday: Partly sunny. Chance showers. High: 66.
Friday: Partly sunny. High: 70.
Saturday: Partly sunny. High: 70.
Sunday: Partly sunny. High: 72. | https://www.wgal.com/article/impact-freeze-possible-tonight-rainsnow-mix-monday/39745546 | 2022-04-17T23:17:59Z | https://www.wgal.com/article/impact-freeze-possible-tonight-rainsnow-mix-monday/39745546 | false | 1 |

Cortes didn’t even hit 92 mph on the gun on any of his nine pitches. He’s a throwback in the sense that he mixes and matches location, movement, and speed to throw hitters off. It feels like every other MLB pitcher is a 100 mph fireballer nowadays.
For Cortes, it’s a potpourri of cutters, sinkers, fastballs, sliders, and changeups. Not to mention, the former 36th-round pick will vary his arm slot, windup, leg kick, and everything in between. Seeing a pitcher have success with guts and creativity instead of sheer power is refreshing.
During the changeover between innings, catcher Kyle Higashioka threw the ball into the crowd. The rest of the Yankees couldn’t believe it, but Higgy gets a pass because Gerrit Cole is a loyal teammate. Cole signed a ball in exchange for the immaculate inning ball. All is well for Cortes and Higgy.
Higgy threw Nestor's immaculate inning ball to a fan so Gerrit Cole had to go get it back 🤣 pic.twitter.com/dy8TuKX8MU

All in all, Cortes went 5+ innings with 12 strikeouts. At what point do we acknowledge that Cortes is more than a flash in the pan? He’s flat-out good. Cortes isn’t just that guy who toyed with his leg kick against Shohei Ohtani. Cortes is a legitimate weapon in the rotation for Boone and he is technically New York’s fifth starter.
Now, if only the Yankees could figure out a way to score runs… | https://elitesportsny.com/2022/04/17/watch-nestor-cortes-dominates-orioles-in-immaculate-inning/ | 2022-04-17T23:25:18Z | https://elitesportsny.com/2022/04/17/watch-nestor-cortes-dominates-orioles-in-immaculate-inning/ | false | 1 |

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday as he nears a return from the torn right ACL that ended his 2021 season.
Atlanta said prior to a game Sunday night at San Diego that Acuña would join Gwinnett at Jacksonville for a series beginning Tuesday.
“I’m sure he’s excited to play real games under lights,” Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said. “It’s winding down to where we can get him back. That will be a boost for this club.”
The 24-year-old Acuña is a two-time All-Star and was playing like an MVP contender last season before injuring his knee in the outfield at Marlins Park on July 10. He was hitting .283 with 24 homers and a .990 OPS in 82 games at the time of the injury. He was left as a spectator for Atlanta's World Series title run.
Acuña opened this season on the 10-day injured list and has been working out at the club's spring training facility in North Port, Florida.

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. (CBS) — For the first time, we’re hearing from the grieving family of the pregnant woman who was shot and killed near the King of Prussia Mall last week. They want answers over how the suspected killer got ahold of a gun while on parole for a previous violent crime.
“I was just kind of in shock, I was like, ‘No, it can’t be my sister,’” Ta’Naya Dunlap said.

“We were really excited, we were all excited,” Dunlap said.
But Cornelius was shot and killed at a gas station near the King of Prussia Mall last week.
And authorities say it was captured on camera.
Rafiq Thompson, 38, is now charged with the murder of the unborn child in addition to Cornelius’ murder.

Montgomery County authorities also revealed Thompson’s criminal history.
An affidavit shows Thompson was also arrested in 2016 and later pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in 2018 in connection with intentionally striking a previous ex-girlfriend with his car in Philadelphia.
Thompson was released from prison in 2019, serving roughly the minimum of his three-to-six year sentence.
“If he would have been charged with attempted murder for hitting her and going after her with a knife, he would never have gotten the chance to even be involved with my sister and she would still be here,” Dunlap said.
The state parole board did not return multiple emails from Eyewitness News to explain who was responsible for Thompson’s supervision following his release from prison.

BOSTON (AP) — Jayson Tatum made a layup at the buzzer on a pass from Marcus Smart to give the Boston Celtics a dramatic 115-114 victory over the Brooklyn Nets in the Game 1 of their first-round playoff series on Sunday.
Tatum scored 16 of his 31 points in the second half, the final two after a poised Boston possession in the frantic final seconds. Jaylen Brown dribbled toward the middle and swung the ball out to Smart, who fired it into a cutting Tatum, who spun around and dropped in his layup just before time expired.
Brown added 23 points. Al Horford had 20 points and 15 rebounds, and Smart finished with 20 points, including four 3-pointers.
Kyrie Irving finished with 39 points, including 18 in the fourth quarter. But the Celtics forced the ball out of his hands the last time Brooklyn had it and Kevin Durant missed a jumper with a one-point lead that set up the Celtics’ final possession.
Durant added 23 points but shot just 9 of 24.
Boston charged out of halftime with a 23-8 run to open a 82-69 lead, sparked by Smart’s dead-eye shooting from beyond the arc.
The Celtics also seemed to tweak their approach to guarding Durant in the half court, fronting him and sending help over the top to limit his driving ability.
Durant and Irving still found ways to score at times, but they had to exert increased energy to get off their attempts.
It didn’t last.
With Boston leading early in the fourth, Irving got Brooklyn back in the mix with two straight 3-pointers and a layup to trim Boston’s advantage to 98-97 with just over 9 minutes left. Then, following an empty trip by Boston that saw Brown and Horford fail to convert from in close, Durant calmly drained a 3 on the other end to put the Nets in front.
Brooklyn had increased its lead to 107-102 when Durant was long with a jumper. Brown found space on the Celtics’ next possession and connected on a 3 from the wing. The Nets turned it back over on a offensive foul on Durant. Smart slid underneath Irving on Boston’s ensuring trip and tied it with a layup.
The score was tied again at 109 with less than 2 minutes left when Durant got a friendly bounce on a jumper to put Brooklyn back up. Horford's follow shot tied it again. But Irving was good from deep on the next time down the floor give the Nets a 114-111 cushion.
Brown tied it coming out of a timeout with 38 seconds left.
In his latest trip to face his former Boston teammates, Irving received the loudest jeers during pregame introductions and was booed whenever he touched the ball the rest of the way.
Fans also showered plenty disdain on Bruce Brown, who made headlines last week after suggesting Celtics big men Horford and Daniel Theis might be easy to attack inside without injured center Robert Williams III available to defend the rim.
Horford played the opening 12 minutes as if on a one-man mission to obliterate that notion.
Boston entered with the league’s best defensive rating since the All-Star break and applied early pressure on Durant. He tried to establish himself in the post in the first quarter, but the Celtics blitzed him with backside help defenders, stripping him three times.
Brooklyn finished with seven turnovers for the quarter, but it translated into only a 29-28 lead for Boston.
Horford was active throughout, going 3 for 4 from the field with 10 points, two rebounds and a steal.
Boston had to adjust early in the second quarter after Theis picked up his third foul. But things evened out when Drummond was whistled for his fourth foul with 4:58 left in the period.
The Celtics immediately went on a 9-2 run before the Nets clawed back to tie the game up at 61 at the half.
TIP-INS
Nets: Brooklyn finished with 16 turnovers. … Durant and Irving shot a combined 1 for 8 from the field in the first quarter.
Celtics: Outscored the Nets 56-32in the paint. … Williams cheered from the bench in street clothes. … New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his son, Jonathan Kraft, sat courtside.

Officers from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have laid charges and seized stolen property stemming from a truck and trailer theft investigation.
“On February 10, 2022, officers responded to a call for service regarding the theft of two stolen transport trucks (tractors and trailers) from a trucking lot in the Town of Caledon,” say Police. “The trailers were reportedly filled with televisions.
“In April 2022, the ongoing investigation revealed that at least one of the TVs was being sold at a store in Mississauga. With the assistance of the Caledon OPP Community Street Crime Unit, a judicial authorization was obtained for the retail store.
“On April 8, 2022, police attended the store and conducted their search. As a result, four 55-inch TVs, thousands of dollars’ worth of men’s and women’s fragrances, and thousands of dollars of wallets and articles of clothing from Burberry manufacturer were seized.”
Ali Shirzad, 31, of Mississauga was charged with:
Possession property obtained by crime under $5000
Trafficking in property obtained by crime
The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton on June 24, 2022.
The charges have not been proven.
For anyone with additional information are asked to contact the Caledon OPP Community Street Crime Unit at 905-284-2241 or toll-free at 1-888-310-1122. You can also provide information anonymously by contacting Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.peelcrimestroppers.ca. When you contact Crime Stoppers, you stay anonymous, you never have to testify, and you could receive a cash reward of up to $2,000 upon an arrest.
MULTIPLE AUTO THEFTS
Officers from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are investigating five new vehicle thefts in the Bolton area.
“In the early morning hours of April 5, 2022, five Toyota vehicles (three Highlanders and two 4Runners) were stolen from residential driveways where they were parked for the night,” say Police. “One of these thefts was captured by video surveillance and shows two male suspects entering a vehicle and leaving shortly thereafter. A few minutes later, two different males entered the vehicle again, and then left. Approximately 35 minutes later, the two original males are seen returning to the vehicle and one enters and drives the vehicle away while the other male leaves the scene on foot.
“Once in a vehicle and connected to its data port, thieves are able to retrieve vehicle information. The data is then taken to another location where a new key fob is created. They then return with a new fob able to start your vehicle and drive away.
“Another methodology used is what is referred as ‘relay thefts.’ Technology is used to boost the signal from the fob you have in your residence. That signal is used to unlock your vehicle, start the engine, and drive away.”
Below is a list of crime prevention measures that offer protection from both practices above:
Ensure your vehicle keys are kept well away from doors and windows;
Use a signal blocking pouch – they can block your key fob from transmitting its code to the vehicle as the pouch is lined with layers or metallic material;
Turn off the keyless fob wireless signal at night – refer to your car manual for instructions;
Use a steering wheel lock or car alarm – this could add a significantly delay or be a deterrent for thieves;
Consider a secondary audible car alarm – which works by using sensors placed in different points of your vehicle;
Park in the garage (if possible); and,
Insert a car tracker – unusual activity is monitored and car can be tracked using GPS if stolen
“If you have any information regarding this or other incidents, please contact the Caledon OPP Street Crime Unit at 905-584-2241 or toll-free at 1-888-310-1122. You can also provide information anonymously by contacting Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.peelcrimestoppers.ca. When you contact Crime Stoppers, you stay anonymous, you never have to testify, and you could receive a cash reward of up to $2000 upon an arrest.
“Call 911 if you observe any suspicious activity in your neighbourhood.”
IMPAIRED DRIVING CHARGES
Officers from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged two drivers with impaired operation over this past weekend.
“On April 9, 2022, at approximately 3:10 a.m., a resident on Morra Street in Bolton contacted the OPP to report a suspicious vehicle in the neighbourhood,” say Police. “Officers attended and located the vehicle and spoke to the driver. Officers suspected that the driver’s abilities were impaired and they were asked for a sample of their breath into an Approved Roadside Screening Device. As a result of the investigation, the driver was arrested for impaired operation and taken to a nearby police station where further breath tests were conducted.”
As a result, Ragavi Ragulan, 18, of Brampton, was changed with:
Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on June 23, 2022, to answer to the charge.
The charge has not been proven.
“Later that same day, at approximately 4:33 p.m., the OPP received another report of a suspicious vehicle in the area of Old Church Road and Highway 50. Officers attended and formed grounds to arrest the driver for impaired operation by drugs. Further testing was conducted by a Drug Recognition Expert.”
As a result of the investigation, Kyle Revell, 31, of Caledon was changed with:
Operation while impaired – drugs
Possession of a Schedule I substance – heroin
The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on June 20, 2022, to answer to the charges.
The charges have not been proven.
“In addition to having to attend court, the two involved vehicles were impounded for seven days and the driver’s licences were suspended for a period of 90 days,” say Police. “The OPP relies on the public to report crime. Impaired driving is a crime that should be treated no differently. Caledon OPP would like to thank the two members of the public for reporting these incidences.
“If you plan on drinking or consuming drugs, plan to not drive. Instead, arrange for a designated driver, take a taxi or public transit, or come up with another plan that takes impaired driving out of the picture. If you suspect that someone is driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, it is important to call 9-1-1 to report it.” | http://caledoncitizen.com/arrest-in-stolen-truck-investigation/ | 2022-04-17T23:45:22Z | http://caledoncitizen.com/arrest-in-stolen-truck-investigation/ | false | 1 |

Reduce food waste with gleaning
Do you enjoy being outdoors and eating fresh produce? If so, you may want to try gleaning. This activity combines both these elements and helps reduce food waste. Here’s what you should know.
What’s gleaning?
Gleaning is the act of collecting leftover or overlooked fruits and vegetables from fields and orchards after they’ve been commercially harvested. This practice limits food waste by allowing people to pick produce before it’s thrown away or no longer edible. It also allows people to eat fruits and vegetables that don’t meet the strict aesthetic requirements of retail markets.
How does it work?
Gleaning has been around for hundreds of years and was often practiced on grain crops. However, today it applies to a wide variety of produce, including blueberries, strawberries, apples, squashes, pears, cucumbers, and more. The harvested food is usually divided between volunteers, producers, and community food banks to help those in need and prevent large quantities of fruits and vegetables from going to waste.
You can enjoy fresh, local food and save on your grocery bill by looking for gleaning groups in your area.

4 interesting facts about coconuts
Coconut can be used in a variety of sweet and savory dishes. Here are four interesting facts about this tropical fruit.
They’re green

They have many uses
Coconut milk, flour, water, oil, and sugar can be used to make a variety of soups, pastries, smoothies, sauces, and more.

Get the most out of Easter ham with easy ham and beans
If you’ve got a pile of leftover ham after your Easter feast and you’re not in the mood to eat ham sandwiches for a solid week, try a pot of ham and beans. This filling, flavorful dish reheats well, keeps in the refrigerator for several days, and can be frozen to be eaten later. Don’t be afraid to experiment with flavors or add in extra vegetables or meats that you want to use up.
Ingredients
1 pound dry great northern beans
About 6 ounces of bacon, diced
1/2 pound (or more) cooked ham, diced
2 to 3 fresh sausage links (optional)
1 small onion, chopped
2 to 3 carrots, chopped
1 to 1-1/2 quarts of stock (use less for a thicker soup)
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or more to taste)
2 to 3 sprigs of fresh thyme (or about a teaspoon dried)
Scant 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon (or more) cayenne pepper
Rinse dried beans, then soak overnight in salted water (at least eight hours). In a medium-hot pot or Dutch oven, render bacon and then remove as much fat as you want, but keep some. If you’re adding sausage, drop sausages into hot fat and brown (leave them whole during the cooking process), then add onion and carrots. When the onions are translucent and the carrots have softened slightly, add the beans and diced ham and stir to distribute the rendered fat. Add stock and stir, then add spices. Heat until bubbling, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 to 1-1/2 hours, or until beans are tender. Remove thyme sprigs, bay leaves, and sausages. Slice the sausages and add them back to the pot, discard the bay leaves and thyme. Add more pepper if desired — you likely won’t need more salt. Serve hot.

Easy, heart-healthy sardine avocado toast
The humble tinned sardine has never gotten a fair shake. Tender and a little salty, these tiny members of the herring family typically lack any unpleasant fishy odor or taste, and are packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B-12, calcium and other beneficial minerals.
The American Heart Association recommends eating oily fish twice a week, and tinned fish like sardines are an easy, inexpensive, shelf-stable choice. Combined with heart-healthy avocado and a fried or poached egg, sardine avocado toast is filling and delicious. And with fish as the star protein, hungry folks who observe Lenten fasting days can also enjoy it anytime.
Ingredients
4 slices sturdy bread
1 large ripe avocado
4 large eggs
1 tin sardines (we recommend smoked sardines in olive oil)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Pinch garlic powder
Balsamic vinegar
Peel and mash the avocado. Add lemon juice, garlic powder and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside, then open sardines and remove filets from the oil — you’ll need about two filets per slice, depending on the size of the filets. With a fork, break the sardine filets into chunks and discard any stray pin bones you find. Set aside and put the bread into the toaster. While your bread toasts, drizzle oil into a skillet and place over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Fry eggs to desired doneness (or poach in a water bath, if you prefer).
To serve, spread each slice of toasted bread with mashed avocado and top with your desired quantity of sardines. Lay a fried egg on top and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Add more salt and pepper if desired and serve. | https://royalexaminer.com/reduce-food-waste-with-gleaning/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=reduce-food-waste-with-gleaning | 2022-04-17T23:54:31Z | https://royalexaminer.com/reduce-food-waste-with-gleaning/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=reduce-food-waste-with-gleaning | true | 2 |
CHICAGO (AP) — Randy Arozarena doubled twice and finished with three hits as the Tampa Bay Rays topped the Chicago White Sox 9-3 on Sunday to stop a four-game slide.
Manuel Margot also had three hits for the Rays, including a double. Kevin Kiermaier and Francisco Mejia each drove in two runs. Wander Franco added an RBI double as Tampa Bay pulled away with a four-run eighth inning.
The Rays broke out of a funk at the plate after scoring only nine runs during the losing streak.
“I think the team did very well today overall," Arozarena, the 2021 AL Rookie of the Year, said through a translator. ”I think the pitching did what they need to do and the offense did what we needed to."
Margot, Kiermaier and Yandy Diaz had RBIs in a four-run first when the Rays jumped on shaky Chicago starter Vince Velasquez without hitting the ball hard.
“Having the offense being a little quiet lately, we needed to find a way to put some runs on the board,” manager Kevin Cash said. “Look, we didn't do it by knocking the cover off the ball, but we'll take it.”
J.P. Feyereisen opened for Tampa Bay, then was followed by Chris Mazza, Jalen Beeks, Ryan Thompson and Tommy Romero as the defending AL East champions patched together an unusual three-hitter that included five walks — plus a hit batter and passed ball that scored Chicago’s first two runs.
Feyereisen was perfect through the first two innings, striking out three, in his first start as a pro. Cash used an opener for the first time this season.
Beeks and Thompson also allowed no one to reach base.
Mazza (1-0), the second Tampa Bay pitcher, walked five and permitted two hits and two runs in 2 1/3 innings. The right-hander threw 62 pitches, only 31 strikes.
“Strike throwing was a little challenging for him today,” Cash said, “but he made some big pitches when he needed to.”
Gavin Sheets hit a solo homer off Romero in the ninth. Adam Engel singled, walked, stole two bases and scored a run for the White Sox.
The Rays sent 10 batters to the plate in the first and a took a 4-0 lead on three soft singles, three walks and an error by Velasquez (0-1). The right-hander threw 20 of 35 pitches for strikes in the inning, then settled down to go 4 2/3 innings.
“That was the highlight of the day,” Chicago manager Tony La Russa said. “He was really upset. He’s a very conscientious guy, and he gutted it out. He gave us a great chance but we couldn’t do enough offensively.”
Velasquez walked Ji-Man Choi with the bases loaded to force in Tampa Bay’s first run.
Velasquez gloved Josh Lowe’s comebacker but dropped the ball, allowing a second run to score. Margot’s bloop single made it 3-0, and Kiermaier walked to force in another run.
The White Sox got on the board in the fourth when Mazza hit Sheets with a pitch with the bases loaded.
The White Sox loaded the bases against Mazza again with one out in the fifth but again managed only one run. Engel scored from third on a passed ball after Beeks relieved, cutting it to 4-2.
The Rays scored four runs off Matt Foster and Anderson Severino in the eighth to seal it.
NICE GRAB
Lowe made a leaping catch at the left-center wall on Tim Anderson’s drive in the bottom of the first. It might have been the hardest-hit ball of the game.
“It was kind of a weird play,” the 6-foot-4 Lowe said. “The wind was blowing in pretty hard. I didn't think it was going that far. Then I just kept going back and made an athletic play at the fence.”
ON HIS WAY
RHP Javy Guerra, acquired by the Rays from the Padres for cash on Saturday, is expected to join the team Monday.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rays: Cash said left-handed starter Ryan Yarbrough (left groin tightness) threw from about 150 feet and should work off a mound in the next couple of days.
White Sox: La Russa said RHP Joe Kelly (right biceps nerve injury) is progressing in his rehab at the team’s training facility in Arizona. La Russa said the 32-year-old Kelly is “throwing in the mid-90s (mph) with no discomfort,” but has yet to face hitters and there’s no timetable for his return.
UP NEXT
Rays: LHP Shane McClanahan (0-1, 3.00 ERA) faces Cubs RHP Kyle Hendricks (0-1, 7.00) on Monday night as the Rays move across town to Wrigley Field for three games.
White Sox: Two former AL Cy Young Award winners square off when LHP Dallas Keuchel (1-0, 5.40) takes the mound against Guardians ace Shane Bieber (0-0, 2.70) in Cleveland on Monday night. The teams play a four-games series.
