Former US Olympic star acquitted of shooting horse trainer by reason of insanity
A jury in New Jersey found a former Olympic equestrian rider and star trainer was not guilty by reason of insanity in the shooting of a woman living at his training centre three years ago, the Associated Press reported.
Michael Barisone, a storied figure in the dressage world who had served as a rider in the 2008 Olympics for the US team and had coached one of the riders on the US squad that took home the bronze medal in the 2016 Olympics, was staring down charges of attempted murder and others for the August 2019 shooting of Lauren Kanarek.
Ms Kanarek and her fiancé, Michael Goodwin, had been living and training horses at Mr Barisone’s farm in Long Valley in western New Jersey.
The shooting, which stemmed from a long landlord-tenant dispute between the two, left Ms Kanarek with two bullet wounds in her chest, which she would later recover from but only after being placed in a medically induced coma and undergoing extensive surgery to repair her punctured left lung.
Over the course of the two-week trial, Mr Barisone’s legal team claimed that Ms Kanarek and her fiancé had violated a verbal agreement to leave the farm once they were finished with the training, and police had been called several times to the home in the 10 days leading up to the shooting.
In one of those 2019 calls, Mr Barisone, who had alleged that the pair were acting as squatters on his property, told dispatchers that the ongoing disagreement was “a war. And it’s going to be dealt with”.
The ex-Olympian’s attorney had also argued that, at the time of his indictment, Ms Kanarek and her partner had threatened and harassed his client.
Following an 18-hour deliberation, the jury confirmed the verdict in the state Superior Court that he was not guilty by reason of insanity on the attempted murder of Ms Kanarek, not guilty for the attempted murder of Mr Goodwin and that he was also acquitted on weapons counts.
Providing evidence for this verdict in the two-week trial were a series of doctors, who testified that Mr Barisone was legally insane and suffered from delusions and paranoia, the Daily Record reported.
Mr Barisone, the outlet reported, will be transferred to the Ann Klein Forensic Center in Trenton for the next 30 days, where he will undergo an evaluation before returning to court next month.
In a statement Thursday, Morris County Prosecutor Robert J Carroll said, “While disappointed with the outcome, in keeping with our commitment to the integrity of the criminal justice system, the verdict must be respected. I acknowledge the case has elicited strong opinions when it comes to how the public views the defendant and victims in this matter, and I ask that the public respect the jury members and their decision.”
Public opinions in the trial of Mr Barisone were discussed by Ms Kanarek in an interview she provided to The New York Times in October 2019, shortly after she’d recovered from the medically induced coma.
In that article, she recalls the moment when she first awoke and the devastation she felt when she began reading comments online of vitriolic hate that had been directed at her instead of her attacker.
“They know there is a person suffering multiple gunshot wounds, bullet wounds,” she told The New York Times . “To say those things, is something no one could ever imagine.”
Those comments, which were posted on a forum hosted by The Chronicle of the Horse , an equestrian publication, included ones that “wished [she] was dead”, while another victim blamed her for the shooting, saying: “Yes, you were shot by an obviously provoked man ... but you accept zero responsibility.”
Ms Kanarek met the ex-Olympian back in 2018 in Wellington, Florida after which she decided to move her horses from North Carolina to his Hawthorne Hill farm for a chance, she told the Times, to train with an Olympic great.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is expected to form a new Cabinet on Monday after a week-long delay amid deliberations on how to accommodate all coalition partners, according to a media report.
Pakistan's Parliament last week elected Sharif, President of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), as the new prime minister after the ouster of Imran Khan through a no-trust vote.
But the new Cabinet could not be formed as Sharif wanted to accommodate all his allies in the government. Members of the federal Cabinet are taking oath tomorrow (Monday), Marriyum Aurangzeb, who is likely to become information minister, told Dawn newspaper on Sunday.
However, there was uncertainty about whether Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) will become a part of the Cabinet or abstain over a disagreement about the distribution of ministries, the newspaper reported, adding Fazl will remain the government ally. Marriyum said the PML-N would get 14 ministries followed by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) with 11 ministries.
She claimed that all allied parties were being accommodated in the Cabinet, including JUI-F and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM). On Sunday, Prime Minister Sharif consulted the ruling coalition parties and met delegations of the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) and the Balochistan National Party (BNP).
On the other hand, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, being the guarantor in the ruling alliance, vowed to fulfil his commitments with coalition parties on the distribution of ministries. Marriyum said a marathon meeting of a joint committee of the alliance on forming the Cabinet took place on Sunday in which grievances of parties over the distribution of portfolios and key positions were resolved.
She said the PML-N would bag the ministries of defence, finance, interior, law and justice, railways, information, energy, planning, communication, etc. Earlier, PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah said that a joint committee of all allied parties in the government had finalised the formation of the new Cabinet in which almost all parties had been accommodated.
He said that the ministry of foreign affairs will most likely be handed over to the PPP, while the party's chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari is deliberating over the decision to head the ministry, Geo News reported. "I cannot ascertain whether Bilawal Bhutto will become part of Shahbaz Sharif's Cabinet," the news channel quoted him as saying.
Sanaullah further said that the ministry of finance, the ministry of planning and development, the ministry of energy, and the ministry of defence will be led by PML-N. "The ministry of maritime affairs and the ministry of overseas Pakistanis and human resource development will be given to MQM and PPP, respectively," he said.
A source in the government told Dawn that JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman was not joining the federal Cabinet. It has also been learnt that JUI-F had demanded the presidential slot and expressed displeasure over giving one ministry each to the Awami National Party (ANP) and independent MNA Mohsin Dawar. Rehman conveyed his displeasure to Zardari and questioned why two ministries were given to those parties or persons who had contested elections against JUI-F.
However, Zardari made it clear that he could not back out of his promises made with the allied parties as he was a guarantor in the alliance, which was formed against Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf's (PTI) government. Zardari said his party did not want to take ministries unless all allied parties were accommodated.
Meanwhile, a source in the PPP said Prime Minister Sharif had given all-out authority to Zardari to distribute ministries to any party according to its due share. He said distributing ministries and prized positions among allied parties of the new government was not an easy task as every party was hoping for lucrative and key positions.
Some of the possible ministers in the new cabinet are Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, Marriyum Aurangzeb, Khawaja Asif, Miftah Ismail, Zahid Hamid, Ahsan Iqbal, Rana Sanaullah, Rana Tanvir, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Khawaja Saad Rafique, Hina Rabbani Khar and Shazia Marri. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/shehbaz-sharif-to-unveil-cabinet-today-report-8372481.html | 2022-04-18T08:17:23Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/shehbaz-sharif-to-unveil-cabinet-today-report-8372481.html | true | 8 |
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s prime minister on Monday warned that thousands of asylum seekers will attempt to reach the country by boat if the opposition party wins elections on May 21.
The annual number of asylum seekers arriving in Australian waters by boat peaked at more than 20,000 in 2013, the year the conservative government was elected and began turning back boats in a military-led policy known as Operation Sovereign Borders.
The government also continued a center-left Labor Party administration’s policy — introduced two months before the election — of banishing boat arrivals to immigration camps on remote Pacific islands. Boat arrivals have since become almost nonexistent.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison suggested his coalition government’s success against the people smuggling trade had inspired Britain’s plan to put some asylum seekers on one-way flights to Rwanda.
“We established Operation Sovereign Borders and it has been one of the most successful border protection policies anywhere in the world. So successful, that other countries are taking their lead from Australia’s successful approach, and why? It’s the humane thing to do,” Morrison said.
Opposition leader Anthony Albanese has said a Labor government would change the national policy on asylum seekers by getting rid of so-called temporary protection visas.
Refugees among Australia’s formal protection intake are permanently resettled. But those who arrived by boat are given three-year protection visas. The visas can be extended if refugees can’t be returned to their homelands, but critics argue the uncertainty over their futures gets in the way of creating new lives.
Morrison blamed a previous Labor government abolishing three-year refugee visas in 2008 for the surge in boat arrivals that followed. Only 161 asylum seekers arrived in 2008. But more than 2,700 arrived the following year and 6,500 in 2010.
“I know that when Labor abolished temporary protection visas in 2008, the armada of people smugglers’ boats came to Australia and that was the launching point,” Morrison said.
Refugee Action Coalition spokesman Ian Rintoul, a Melbourne-based refugee advocate, accused Morrison of “scare mongering” over the need for temporary visas that don’t provide refugees with the same rights as permanent visas.
Australia’s harsh refugee policies have been criticized by the United Nations and human rights groups.
Indonesia has condemned the Australian navy turning back asylum seeker boats to Indonesian ports as a violation of Indonesian sovereignty.
Some smuggling crews had developed a tactic of sabotaging their crowded fishing boats after being intercepted by patrol boats so that Australian crews would have to rescue them from sinking.
Australian ships have countered by putting these asylum seekers and crews into powered lifeboats that are then towed close to the Indonesian coast and left with just enough fuel to reach the shore.
The leader of the Anglican church this week strongly criticized the British government’s plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, saying “sub-contracting out our responsibilities” to refugees can’t stand up to God’s scrutiny.
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby made the unusually direct political intervention in his Easter Sunday sermon, saying there are “serious ethical questions about sending asylum-seekers overseas.”
Labor has been leading the government in most opinion polling in recent months. The government is seeking a rare fourth three-year term. | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Australian-leader-warns-of-a-resurgence-in-asylum-17087388.php | 2022-04-18T08:19:22Z | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Australian-leader-warns-of-a-resurgence-in-asylum-17087388.php | true | 13 |

Strictly business for Tyson Fury ahead of Dillian Whyte showdown
Tyson Fury’s Ring Magazine and WBC heavyweight championship defense against Dillian Whyte has gone from having virtually no buildup narrative – due to the challenger’s initial unwillingness to contribute to the promotion – to being consumed by a story that rocked boxing to its foundations.
On Tuesday, Daniel Kinahan, a man who has worked as advisor for Fury in recent times, hit the headlines when it was disclosed that the alleged drug gang leader was wanted by the U.S. government. Claire Cronin, U.S. ambassador to Ireland, announced that a $5 million reward was being offered for any information that could lead to Kinahan’s arrest/ conviction. The same amount is being offered for any details that could bring about the arrest/ conviction of his brother, Christopher Jr., and their father, Christopher. That’s $5 million per head.
Due to Kinahan functioning in an “advisor” capacity to fighters at every level of the sport for several years, this news was monumental.
The 32-year-old Fury was less than two weeks away from the biggest heavyweight championship fight in British boxing history, but fans and media wanted the Englishman’s opinions on Kinahan. Well, some media did. I’d already spoken to Fury about the usual stuff. What kind of fight do you foresee? What was your reaction to the 94,000-seat sell out? What’s going to happen?
I had to touch base again in relation to Kinahan.
“It’s none of my business, and I don’t get involved in other people’s business,” was the heavyweight champion’s response.
Fury and other fighters have sought legal advice, and they’ll also liaise with their respective promoters on this matter, so that was probably the expected answer.
The unfortunate thing is that boxing has been complicit in its own black eye here. Unregulated, and often unholy, the sport rolled out the red carpet for Kinahan, who had both money and power in abundance.
Top Rank’s Bob Arum, who co-promotes Fury along with U.K. counterpart Frank Warren, told The Irish Mirror that Kinahan played no active part in negotiations for Saturday’s Fury-Whyte matchup, which takes place at Wembley Stadium in London.
The show will go on and Fury is confident of dealing with his hard-hitting rival no matter what way the fight pans out.
“Any style that I choose will beat Dillian Whyte,” Fury told The Ring. “I can beat Dillian Whyte going forward, going backwards or going sideways. That’s what I believe and I have faith in my ability. In terms of ability, I believe I’m leagues above this guy. I’ve done my training. I’ve given him the respect he deserves. I’ve been in camp since January. I’ve done everything in my power to get ready and the rest of it is destiny. If it’s meant to be, it’ll be.
“I’m going to put it straight on him from round one. There’s no secret about what I’m going to do. I’m going to go out there and start slinging bombs from the first round. I’ll put on a good show for the 90-odd thousand people who are going, then hopefully I’ll land a big punch on him and it’ll be ‘Goodnight, Vienna!’”
The general consensus is that Whyte’s only shot is the knockout blow, so why stand in front of him?
“Dillian hits hard – all heavyweights hit hard,” acknowledged Fury. “They said the same thing about [Deontay] Wilder. ‘Don’t stand in front of him!’ What happened there? We all know what happened. It’s a boxing fight. After all these years it’s become so easy, this boxing game. I’ll adapt when I’m in there. (Trainer) Sugar Hill did an interview recently and said something correct. He said, ‘We’ll adapt when we’re in there.’ I’m good at adapting and I’ll adapt on the night.”
Fury-Whyte is a solid heavyweight championship fight but it will soon be history. How the sport moves on after it remains to be seen.
The bout, plus undercard action, will be broadcast by ESPN + PPV in the U.S. and on BT Sports PPV in the U.K.

Cuba hopes to shine in the 5th World Baseball Classic 2023
Havana, Apr 18.- Cuba has chosen to forget recent poor performances and gather its best available players for the 5th World Baseball Classic, scheduled for March 2023.
We are getting ready to provide a good show, because we have talented ballplayers capable of competing in the main circuits of the planet, said Juan Reynaldo Perez, head of the Cuban Federation of the discipline (FCB, in Spanish).
The executive told the television Round Table hour that they plan to summon athletes hired in other leagues, even those who are not under the FCB’s aegis.
“Those athletes who are interested in playing in Cuba, as well as representing the country in international tournaments, can approach; we have the greatest willingness to talk,” said Perez, who is also the National Commissioner of the sport.
He expressed the willingness to return to the Caribbean Series and ratified the intention to recover the rapprochement with the Major Leagues of the United States in order to establish a stable and depoliticized relationship, which had its maximum expression with the signing of the FCB-MLB Agreement in December 2018. This arrangement was suspended by the Trump administration.
Perez acknowledged that resuming the pact will mean an effective tool for the development of Cuban baseball and against illegal emigration, human trafficking and other risks for baseball players and their families.

Travis Scott surprised fans with a short performance at the Bootsy Bellows After Party in nearby La Quinta.
The five-song set features some of his biggest hits, per Complex.
“People were super excited to see him. Everyone was dancing and singing along,” a source said.
This comes a few weeks after he performed at a secluded pre-Oscars house party last month, which marked the first time he performed in front of an audience since the Astroworld Festival tragedy.
It is worthy to note that he had been scheduled as a headliner at this year’s Coachella, but was dropped after an online petition saw 70,000 signatures demanding Scott be cut from the event, citing “gross negligence and sheer lack of compassion for human life.” | https://olisa.tv/travis-scott-surprises-the-world-with-a-5-song-performance-at-coachella-after-party-post-astroworld-tragedy/ | 2022-04-18T08:57:08Z | https://olisa.tv/travis-scott-surprises-the-world-with-a-5-song-performance-at-coachella-after-party-post-astroworld-tragedy/ | true | null |
Who is Ed Buck and what is his net worth?
POLITICAL activist and businessman, Ed Buck, made a name for himself by taking on a variety of philanthropic causes.
Between criminal convictions, prison sentences, and political endeavors, Ed Buck garners multiple headlines.
Who is Ed Buck?
Born on August 24, 1954, Buck is a businessman, political activist, Democratic political fundraiser, former model, and former actor.
He is known for giving large amounts of money to Democratic causes and candidates.
Buck donated to Democratic campaigns run by Hillary Clinton, Ted Lieu, and Pete Aguilar, among other candidates.
In 1989, he was the Grand Marshal at the International Gay Rodeo and is also known for his 1986 campaign, Mecham Watchdog Committee.
According to LA Magazine, the committee was made to help recall Evan Mecham, who was known for his racist and homophobic actions, as Arizona governor.
Buck helped organize staged protests as well as organize letter-writing and signature efforts to help promote the recall of Mecham and in May 1988, his group triggered a recall election.
Buck has been openly gay since he was 16-years-old and was known for advocating for LGBT rights in politics over the years.
Following his move to California, he entered a campaign for city council - but was not successful.
What is Ed Buck's net worth?
An estimation of Buck's net worth is not reported on by many credible outlets.
Some reports state that his net worth is somewhere between $3 million to $5 million while others estimate it to be around $15 million.
According to Wealthy Persons, Buck's estimated net worth is $15million.
Buck's riches come from his career as a model and also from working for Rapid Information Services.
After RPI went bankrupt, he bought the company for $250k and rebranded it as Gopher Courier before selling it years later for $500k.
What was Ed Buck charged with?
On September 17, 2019, Buck was charged with three counts of battery causing serious injury, administering methamphetamine, and maintaining a drug house.
In April 2020, he was then charged with four more counts.
The charges included enticing another man to travel with the intent of engaging in prostitution and two counts of distribution of controlled substances resulting in death.
His nine charges are in relation to the July 2017 death of Gemmel Moore and the January 2019 death of Timothy Dean.
On July 27, 2021, Buck was found guilty of multiple crimes connected to the deaths of Gemmel and Timothy in West Hollywood, California.
Buck had maintained his defense that the deaths stemmed from underlying medical conditions and not the narcotics he had supplied the men but was found guilty on all nine counts anyway.
On April 14, 2022, the businessman was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the convictions.
During the trial, Assistant US Attorney Chelsea Norell told jurors: "The party is the drugs, the play is the sex. If they didn’t party, he wasn’t interested.”
Before he was sentenced, Buck spoke briefly to Judge Christina A. Snyder, and he apologized "for my part in the tragic deaths of Gemmel and Timothy.''
"These are men I cared for and loved. I did not cause their deaths," Buck said.
He asked Snyder to "look at the good in my life,'' and not "the horrible caricature the government painted me as — a meth-fueled ax killer.''

BMW CEO Oliver Zipse has stated recently that companies should be careful not to become too dependent on a select few countries by focusing entirely on battery electric vehicles. This chief executive has long advocated against an all-out ban on internal combustion engine cars, despite rising pressure from regulators to curb carbon emissions.
Zipse also believes there’s still a market for ICE-powered cars, reports Reuters, which, to be fair, is a rather easy argument to make – from a supply and demand standpoint.
“When you look at the technology coming out, the EV push, we must be careful because at the same time, you increase dependency on very few countries,” said Zipse at a roundtable in New York, while emphasizing that supply of raw materials for batteries was controlled mostly by China.
“If someone cannot buy an EV for some reason but needs a car, would you rather propose he continues to drive his old car forever? If you are not selling combustion engines anymore, someone else will,” he stated.
The BMW boss went on to argue that offering more fuel-efficient internal combustion engine cars was key not only from a profit perspective, but also from an environmental perspective, while pointing the finger at gaps in charging infrastructure and the fact that fully electric vehicles tend to be considerably more expensive than their ICE-powered counterparts.
He then went on to say that carmakers also need to plan for energy prices and raw materials to remain high by being more efficient production-wise and stepping up recycling efforts in order to keep costs down.
“We have a peak now, they might not stay at the peak, but they will not go back to former prices. How much energy you need and use, and circularity, is important – for environmental reasons but even more for economic reasons,” concluded Zipse.

William Ruto’s acid test to keep UDA united after bitter primaries
Deputy President William Ruto faces an acid test to keep his followers in the Rift Valley united following widespread discontent over the United Democratic Alliance primaries that have birthed many independent candidates.
The DP must avert a looming fallout in the party as many aspirants who lost in the nominations are said to be eyeing friendly political vehicles.
Two of Dr Ruto’s close allies, Soy MP Caleb Kositany and former Cabinet Secretary Charles Keter, lost UDA tickets for the Uasin Gishu and Kericho gubernatorial seats, respectively.
Businessman Jonathan Bii alias “Koti Moja” won in Uasin Gishu by garnering 71,152 votes and was followed by former Kenyan ambassador to Pakistan Julius Bitok, with 59,001. Mr Bitok rejected the results and lodged an appeal with the UDA elections tribunal, saying the elections were not conducted in a free and fair manner.
“We are aware of many malpractices that started from recruitment of presiding officers and clerks. This was done by a certain candidate and the results of the nominations were predetermined,” he said.
Manipulation of votes
Mr Bii will face businessman Bundotich Zedekiah Kiprop alias Buzeki.
Lawyer Kipchumba Karori, who was running for the Uasin Gishu senatorial seat, also lodged complaints with the party tribunal over widespread manipulation of votes by his competitor, Governor Jackson Mandago.
“I was leading by over 4,000 votes by Thursday evening and after sensing defeat, my competitor decided to use county staff to manipulate votes. The party should cancel the results,” he said.
In Bomet, Senator Christopher Lang’at and nominated MP Wilson Sossion have threatened to ditch UDA following their loss to lawyer Hillary Sigei. Mr Sossion said the party had mismanaged the nominations.
“I do not have confidence in the UDA nominations and I am not going to kneel before the party leadership that has imposed their business partners on the people,” he said.
In Baringo North Constituency, former Barwessa ward MCA Joseph Makilap won the UDA ticket, with Mr Sammy Chelang’a, who came second promising to “give the way forward on our next move soon” .
Independent candidate
Baringo Central aspirant David Kerich complained that MP Joshua Kandie had rigged the primaries.
Moiben MP Sila Tiren will defend his seat as an independent candidate while Turbo MP Janet Sitienei, who ran as an independent candidate in 2017, won the UDA ticket.
There’s uncertainty in Marakwet East and West constituencies and the Woman Rep race over the nomination results.
“There were massive irregularities across Marakwet East ... These compromised the outcome of the primaries and that is why we are rejecting the results,” said Mr Laxamana Kiptoo, one of the aspirants. They have petitioned the party and hope the results will be annulled. “There are many options we shall explore if the party does not give us a fair judgment,” said Mr Kiptoo.
In Marakwet West runner-up Timothy Toroitich said: “The results are the will of an individual ... I will not be party to fraud and illegality. The party should conduct a fresh nomination.”

Recent law signals a shift in treatment of workplace sexual assault and sexual harassment claims. I’ve been working at a big tech company in the South Bay for about three years now as a software developer. At the outset of my employment, I signed several documents contained in a hiring packet, one of which was an arbitration agreement. I didn’t understand what it was at the time. I just signed it because I thought that’s what I had to do to start work. After some research, I now realize I gave up my right to file a civil case, and any claim arising from my employment will be handled confidentially out of court. A few weeks ago, one of the newly hired managers began making inappropriate sexual remarks to me and one of my co-workers. The behavior has only gotten worse. HR doesn’t seem to take it seriously, either. I’m starting to regret ever having signed that arbitration agreement. Do I have any options, or am I going to be stuck with it? | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2574139958307/conflict-of-interest-could-void-40-million-bart-project | 2022-04-18T09:40:17Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2574139958307/conflict-of-interest-could-void-40-million-bart-project | false | 1 |
Parent dressed as Easter Bunny handed out condoms at Austin elementary school, district says
AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Austin Independent School District is reevaluating safety protocols after a parent dressed up as the Easter Bunny was reportedly handing out Easter eggs on the Gullett Elementary School campus.
Some of the eggs contained candy, but others contained unopened condoms, according to a letter sent to Gullett families.
The parent was asked to leave, but then moved to a public sidewalk and continued to give away eggs, the district told KXAN.
“We are working to review our safety protocols to ensure this does not happen again,” said an AISD spokesperson. “It was an incredibly careless and inappropriate action of a parent.”
Austin ISD proposes $2 million for afterschool activities with a focus on equityIn a letter to parents, Gullett Elementary School Principal Tammy Thompson said the event was not planned, nor sanctioned by the school. The letter said officials spoke with the parent about the “inappropriate nature of their activity.”
Sex education curriculum at AISD
Currently, the youngest students in Austin ISD aren’t even learning anything related to “human sexuality and responsibility.” K-2 lessons are on hold as the district works to revise lessons based on recent legislation.
Austin ISD is in the process of updating its human sexuality and responsibility curriculum as a whole . The district’s program provides information and skill development for students in kindergarten through grade 12. Instruction is given annually in November and December for elementary and middle school students.

Salado-area churches destroyed by tornado host Easter services amid rubble
Salado, Texas (KWTX) - Two churches destroyed by an EF-3 tornado that ripped through southern Bell County on Tuesday hosted their Easter services at their church sites despite no longer having a church building.
Crowds of people sat in foldable chairs on the cement slabs left behind after the tornado and surrounded by the rubble and destruction at both Victory Baptist Church and First Cedar Valley Baptist Church.
“It’s great to be back here on god’s property on the slab that he left for us,” said Alex Seeton, a church member.
Billy Borho, the pastor at Victory Baptist Church said hosting service in the empty lot shows is that the church is more than the four walls.
“I think the focus today should be on our relationship with the lord and why this came,” Borho said. “Why did this come? Why did he let this happen? There’s a reason. I don’t know all the reasons but I know that god is faithful and I know that he loves his people,” he said.
Borho said the church has already had a construction company pledge to gift them a brand new church building.
“The building that they said, I don’t know for sure but it’s 300 feet long and a hundred feet wide,” Borho explained. “That’s a big ‘ole building for an itty bitty church.”
Both churches today saw crowds much larger than their normal services as people from the community came to show their support.
Governor Abbott visited those two churches Saturday. He pledged that the state would help the churches and property owners affected by the tornado.

Chelsea manager Tuchel explains why Kante didn't start FA Cup semi-final win against Crystal Palace
Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel has explained why N’Golo Kante was left out of his starting XI for the FA Cup semi-final with Crystal Palace.
The Blues opted to go with Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic in their engine room against the Eagles, but were forced into a change after just 26 minutes when the Croatia international picked up an injury.
World Cup winner Kante was left sitting on the bench again as Ruben Loftus-Cheek was introduced, with the Frenchman seeing only 13 minutes late on when he replaced Italy star Jorginho.
Editors' Picks

- Because it's Liverpool, they have a chance: How Klopp and his players are embracing their shot at history
- Osimhen, Napoli must prove strength of character against Roma
- Mount and Loftus-Cheek show that Chelsea's powerhouse academy must stay well-funded under new owners
Why was Kante benched?
Tuchel got his tactical calls spot on, as Chelsea claimed a 2-0 victory over Palace and a spot in a third successive FA Cup final, and he told reporters on the decision to leave Kante out: “N’Golo is okay but we decided for Jorgi in the mix because he was out against Madrid and was hungry to play this match.
“The season is not finished and we wanted to reward Jorgi and Azpi to stay part in this. We also needed some fresh legs so NG is not injured.”
How serious is Kovacic’s injury?
Kovacic damaged his ankle early on against the Eagles, with it quickly becoming apparent that he was in no condition to continue.
Chelsea are hoping that the 27-year-old will not be out for long as they have important Premier League fixtures before facing Liverpool in the FA Cup final on May 14.
Tuchel said: “When Kova comes off, you know that he is in pain. The ankle is swollen, it’s a huge ankle right now. So let’s hope. It doesn’t look so good but we will wait for the examination and we can tell you more.”
The Blues will be back in action on Wednesday against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. | https://www.goal.com/en-ke/news/tuchel-kante-chelsea-fa-cup-semi-final/bltcd9201d9e911bc92 | 2022-04-18T09:54:41Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ke/news/tuchel-kante-chelsea-fa-cup-semi-final/bltcd9201d9e911bc92 | false | 10 |
BEIJING (AP) — Chinese leaders face pressure to shore up sinking economic growth after Shanghai and other cities shut down to fight coronavirus outbreaks, threatening to disrupt global trade and manufacturing.
Growth slid to 1.3% over the previous quarter in the first three months of 2022, down from a 1.4% rate in last year's final quarter, official data showed Monday. Compared with a year earlier, a measurement that can hide recent fluctuations, growth was 4.8%, up from 4% in the final quarter of 2021.
In a sign the slide might be deepening, March retail sales fell 3.5% from a year earlier.
This month's activity is “set to be even worse,” Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics said in a report. “China’s economic performance is likely to remain lackluster in the near-term.”
The ruling Communist Party, which set a 5.5% growth target this year, already was trying to reverse a slump that started in mid-2021. Pressure mounted after last month's surge in infections prompted Beijing to suspend access to Shanghai, a city of 25 million people, and other industrial centers.
“Further impacts from lockdowns are imminent,” Iris Pang of ING said in a report.
The slowdown hurts China’s trading partners by depressing demand for imported oil, food and consumer goods. Oil prices, which spiked after Russia’s attack on Ukraine, have eased on expectations Chinese consumption will weaken.
The ruling party promised tax refunds and other aid to businesses after tighter controls on use of debt triggered a slowdown in China's vast real estate industry. Last week, Premier Li Keqiang, the No. 2 leader, called for quicker action to help entrepreneurs who generate China's new jobs and wealth.
Forecasters say Beijing is using cautious, targeted stimulus instead of across-the-board spending, a strategy that will take longer to show results. Chinese leaders worry too much spending or bank lending might push up politically sensitive housing costs or corporate debt they worry is dangerously high.
Meanwhile, China faces more headwinds from a possible slowdown in the European Union, a major export market, due to Russia's war on Ukraine and higher oil and gas prices, according to Rajiv Biswas of S&P Global Market Intelligence.
That would "hit China’s manufacturing export sector," Biswas said in an email.
The flow of industrial goods has been disrupted by the suspension of access to Shanghai, home of the world's busiest port, and other industrial cities including Changchun and Jilin in the northeast. Global automakers and other manufacturers have reduced or stopped production at Chinese factories.
The disruption "will weigh on activity in April and into May, if not longer," Tommy Wu of Oxford Economics said in a report. That is "likely to have a significant impact on global supply chains.”
China's latest infection numbers are relatively low, but Beijing is responding to its biggest outbreak since the 2020 start of the pandemic with a “zero-COVID” policy that aims to isolate every person who tests positive.
Consumer demand, an important economic engine, was dampened by a government appeal to the public to avoid traveling during February’s Lunar New Year holiday, normally a period of big spending on gifts, banquets and tourism.
Factory output rose 6.5% during the quarter over a year earlier. Investment in factories, real estate and other fixed assets increased 9.3%, possibly reflecting easier credit.
This quarter, retail sales might fall 5.5% from a year ago, while factory output contracts by 1.5%, according to Nomura economists Ting Lu, Jing Wang and Harrington Zhang.
“Global markets underestimate China’s growth slowdown,” which is “set to ripple to the rest of the world,” they said in a report.
Last week, regulators injected an extra 500 billion yuan ($80 billion) into the pool of money for lending by reducing the amount of deposits commercial banks are required to hold in reserve.
Shanghai has eased controls that confined most its people to their homes. But while some 6.6 million people were allowed to go outdoors, most businesses stayed closed.
The agency that runs the Shanghai port says operations are normal. But companies say the volume of cargo it handles has fallen.
Shanghai is so important that a full month's shutdown will subtract 2% from China's annual economic growth, according to Pang of ING.
“This loss will increase if the lockdown lasts longer,” Pang wrote.
Authorities also suspended access to Tianjin, a port and petrochemical center east of Beijing, and Shenzhen, a finance and tech hub near Hong Kong. Other cities have closed businesses, told residents to stay home if possible or imposed limits on movement.
Economists have warned spring planting by Chinese farmers who feed 1.4 billion people might be disrupted. That would hurt economic activity and boost demand for imported wheat and other food, potentially pushing up already high global prices.
China rebounded quickly from the pandemic in 2020, but activity weakened as tighter controls on borrowing by real estate developers hit construction, which supports millions of jobs.
Investors are waiting to see what happens to one of China’s biggest developers, Evergrande Group. It has struggled since last year to avoid defaulting on $310 billion owed to banks and bondholders.

Exeter City Women convincingly dispatched visiting AFC Bournemouth on Sunday in one of their most complete performances of the season. The Dorset side arrived in need of a win to keep their promotion hopes alive, but were thrashed 5-0 by a five-star Grecians side who kept their hopes of finishing third alive.
A double each from the profilic striking duo of Connie Pengelly and Sarah Stacey, plus a late fifth from Mollie Taylor, delighted the 181 people at Exwick Sports Hub. The Cherries even with a win wouldn’t have been champions – that goes to Cheltenham Town after their victory – but it was a statement win for City over the runners-up.
“If we could have written the script, that was how we wanted it to go,” co-manager Abbie Britton said. “From minute one to 90 there we have restricted them to three shots all game, so we will take that. We knew they would be dangerous, but if we turn up then we can tear anyone apart.
“When playing against top team everyone has to be on it. We knew we had to put in a performance, had to be relentless, and they were, and were absolutely superb from front to back.”

The tempo of the game was set from the early minutes, Sarah Stacey’s block of the attempted clearance of Cherries ‘keeper Sam Chrippes an indication on the high press the Grecians were going to compete with. A City corner was delivered with precision by Jess Sandland, Pengelly’s close range header brilliantly clawed away by Chrippes, before Emily Toogood’s follow up was cleared from the goal line.
The Sandland-Pengelly combination was not to be kept at bay for long, a corner from the City right was again invitingly driven in and this time Pengelly’s header was powered home for the lead. Pengelly and Stacey linked to force a good Chrippes save, before Sandland again caused problems from a set piece, this time a low cross just evading Taylor.
From front to back, the City desire to press the visitors was evident, and that fervency to overturn possession soon brought further reward. Zoe Watkins won her battle in midfield before driving forward with the ball at her feet, a perfectly weighted pass drew Chrippes from goal, allowing Stacey to take the ball around her and pass into the unguarded net to double the lead.
The Grecians battling qualities were, as is often the case, typified by Captain Manfy Sharpe. Her brave block from a Becki Bath free kick left her dazed, the defender unable to continue as a precaution and replaced by Charley Prouse.
A tireless first forty five was to offer one final reward. Pressure on the Cherries backline led to a misplaced pass, Pengelly setting herself before a delicate chip underlined both her confidence and City’s dominance. A commanding first half lead.
Sandland’s switch to a wing back role has gained huge rewards, the teenager following up the previous weekend’s sensational performance with another one on Sunday afternoon. Her exquisite first touch beat the defender and a low cross was hit wide by Phoebe Baker on the slide. Sandland was not to be denied adding to her growing number of assists shortly after. Pengelly held the ball with strong forward play before setting up Sandland, her defence splitting pass was rolled past Chrippes by Stacey and City had four.

Emily Toogood had tested Chrippes’ handling earlier in the half, but her header from another Sandland set piece was well held on the goal line to deny the returning defender a goal. Abbi Bond had enjoyed a quiet afternoon, but strikes from Bath and Katie James were now giving the City defence plenty to think about. Jaydee Seaman had showcased her custom competitive skill set with another outstanding performance, the defender now battling even harder to keep the visitors out.
With Steve Cuss’ side enjoying their best spell of the game, City struck a final decisive blow. Taylor stepped out of her defensive role and, when the Cherries backline dropped off, she is not a player that needs asking twice to take on the shot. A fierce dipping effort flew over Chrippes and into the net, City had five.
Pengelly now as 20 for the season in the league, with Stacey on 17, both hunting down Gemma Fraser of Chesham United with 23 to win the golden boot, and Britton praised the strikers. She added: “The strikers put the ball in the net and they do it week in, week out. There is a reason why they are the top goalscorers and hunting down the golden boot and they both want it.”
With this year’s promotion race over, this was a chance for the Grecians to make a mark for what they will hope to achieve next season, and they certainly did that with a commanding performance. When this team play with a consistent intensity, coupled with their signature ability to play free flowing football, they are devastating to watch.
City will likely need to follow this performance up with another two wins to secure third position, but before that comes the Devon County Cup Final on Friday evening against Torquay United and the chance to retain that title for the first time in the team’s history.

Cyriel Dessers' two goals inspired Feyenoord's victory in an action-packed last-eight tussle with Slavia Praha, the Dutch hopefuls clinching their first European semi-final since lifting the UEFA Cup 20 years ago.
Quarter-final second-leg starting line-ups
Feyenoord: Marciano; Geertruida, Trauner, Senesi, Malacia; Toornstra, Aursnes, Orkun Kökçü; Nelson, Dessers, Sinisterra
Marseille: Mandanda; Lirola, Saliba, Ćaleta-Car, Peres; Guendouzi, Rongier, Gueye; Harit, Bakambu, Payet
Away goals rule abolished
There has been a rule change for 2021/22: ties level after the second leg will go to extra time and a penalty shoot-out if required, irrespective of the number of away goals a team has scored.

Various auto-rickshaw, cab and taxi unions in the national capital went on a strike on Monday, demanding a CNG subsidy and a fare revision in the wake of rising fuel prices.
Delhi Auto Rickshaw Sangh General Secretary Rajendra Soni said they will also hold a protest outside Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence in Civil Lines later in the day to press their demands.
Commuters in the city faced difficulties in getting cabs and autos on Monday morning. Though cars were available on Ola and Uber apps, the fares were inflated.
Auto and cab drivers’ unions have been demanding a hike in fare and slashing of CNG prices to offset the impact of rising fuel prices.
They refused to call their strike off despite an announcement by the Delhi government to form a committee to consider a fare revision in a time-bound manner.
"Our strike has started and it will continue throughout the day. CNG has become costlier and we cannot keep running our business on losses. We should either be provided a subsidy of Rs 35 per kg on CNG or fares should be hiked," Delhi Auto Rickshaw Sangh General Secretary Rajendra Soni told PTI.
While most unions said they will be on a one-day strike, the Sarvodaya Driver Association Delhi, which has members who drive for cab aggregators, said it will be an "indefinite" strike.
There are over 90,000 autos and more than 80,000 registered taxis complementing the public transport system in the city. | https://www.outlookindia.com/national/fuel-price-hike-auto-taxi-unions-strike-in-delhi-ola-uber-inflate-fares-news-192018 | 2022-04-18T10:06:55Z | https://www.outlookindia.com/national/fuel-price-hike-auto-taxi-unions-strike-in-delhi-ola-uber-inflate-fares-news-192018 | false | 5 |
Rev Mante says reducing Easter to a time to party is an insult to the Christian faith
Easter is a time of introspection to draw us closer to God - Rev Mante
Easter has become another holiday for some Christians - Rev Mante
The Chairman of the Christian Council of Ghana, Rev. Prof Joseph Obiri Yeboah Mante, has bemoaned the lack of spiritual attachment to the celebration of Easter by some factions of the Ghanaian public.
According to Rev Mante, some Christians have reduced the celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ to a time to party and dance, which is an insult to the Christian faith.
“… it is an insult to the Christian faith, particularly during the passion week, where we intensify our prayers and fasting when people are just dancing and doing all those kinds of things, it does not speak well of us at all.
“I am grateful to God that there are Christians who really understand this aspect of Easter, but then still we will always have some who don’t care about this,” myjoyonline.com reports.
The chairman of Ghana’s Christian Council, who said this on JoyNews’ ‘The Probe’, further stated that the celebration of Easter includes significate activities that are meant to make every Christian draw closer to God.
He added that the activities to mark the death and resurrection of Christ include a period of 40 days of fasting and prayers called lent, the Passion Week where Christians are to reflect on the suffering, crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ, but these activities are mostly ignored by some Christians and Easter has become another holiday to them.

Swedish House Mafia and the Weeknd closed out the first weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival with a co-headlining set that somehow managed to both attract the largest crowd of the festival and underwhelm at the same time.
Of course, you could say Coachella was lucky to have a Sunday night headliner at all after Kanye West, or Ye as he’s now known, abruptly pulled out two weeks before he was slated to perform.
Swedish House Mafia has always been scheduled to play the festival, but as a late-night electronic dance music set after Harry Styles headlined Friday night.
The Weeknd, who wasn’t getting closer to a Coachella stage than sitting in his couch watching the YouTube livestream until he was pressed into duty, and reportedly promised a big pile of cash, to fill the Ye-sized hole in the lineup.
Details of what was supposed to happen were scant, though we knew it was scheduled to start at 10:20 p.m., but didn’t actually begin until 10:55 p.m.
Swedish House Mafia, the Swedish supergroup of DJs Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Steve Angello, played first, the trio standing in the shadows atop a platform behind a table and their gear.
EDM performers often aren’t the focus of their shows, the DJs letting the abstract videos on the screens around them carry the visual interest. And that’s not a problem for the tens of thousands of fans on the field who erupted in joy as each track built to a peak before the bass dropped and released all that musical tension.
I’ll admit I’m a minority view on how enjoyable their 40 minutes was — not particularly in my opinion To be fair, it went down swimmingly, or dancingly, with the vast majority.
The Weeknd’s arrival injected more personality into the show, though he’s also a bit of a remote figure as a performer. The Swedes also only left him with 25 minutes to perform before the midnight curfew thanks to the length of their set and the time wasted in getting things started.
For his first two songs, live debuts of “Sacrifice” and “How Do I Make You Love Me?” were both done with Swedish House Mafia. From there he shifted into better known hits, such as “Can’t Feel My Face” and “Blinding Lights,” both of which sounded great.
By then, though, a stream of fans were headed for the exits, skipping out on songs such as “The Hills” and “Party Monster” that followed, the finale, “Moth To A Flame,” with Swedish House Mafia once more. | https://www.dailybreeze.com/2022/04/18/coachella-2022-swedish-house-mafia-and-the-weeknd-close-out-festivals-first-weekend/ | 2022-04-18T10:24:16Z | https://www.dailybreeze.com/2022/04/18/coachella-2022-swedish-house-mafia-and-the-weeknd-close-out-festivals-first-weekend/ | false | 10 |

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- UpHealth, Inc. ("UpHealth" or the "Company") (NYSE: UPH), a global digital health company delivering technology platforms, infrastructure, and services to modernize care delivery and health management, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended Dec. 31, 2021.
"In the third and fourth quarters of 2021, the leadership team intensified its focus on selected strategic priorities and on the organization-wide integration. We are confident that these initiatives will result in economies of scale, product offering innovations and cross-selling opportunities," said Dr. Ramesh Balakrishnan, Chief Executive Officer. "The groundwork we laid last year will come to fruition in 2022."
"In addition, in 2021 we successfully completed the business combination with GigCapital2 and our first fiscal year-end report along with a meticulous examination of our management processes and controls. After an arduous 'clean-up' process, we've instituted additional controls and are committed to rigorous compliance."
Dr. Balakrishnan added, "We regret that unexpected collection challenges, especially with one long-standing customer, resulted in lower-than-expected revenue and EBITDA. We're working diligently to complete the entire collections due to the Company and are looking forward to a fiscally successful 2022."
Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights:
- Revenue of $33.9 million, with gross margin of 22%
- Fourth quarter 2021 revenues were affected by one-time factors, including:
- Segment results:
- Goodwill impairment of $297.9 million
- Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was negative $12.5 million due to $3.9 million in write-offs of receivables and prepaid expenses stemming from transactions that exclusively predated the business combination and by lower revenues.
During the fourth quarter 2021, the Company's Integrated Care Management segment provided services to a customer but did not recognize revenue associated with those services due to concerns regarding the customer's creditworthiness and also reserved $15.6 million of outstanding receivables from the customer from the second and third quarter 2021. In addition, during the fourth quarter 2021, the Company recorded a $6 million contingent liability in cost of goods and services related to services provided by a vendor to the Integrated Care Management segment, which is payable as proceeds are collected from the customer. As a result, fourth quarter 2021 gross margin for both the Company and its Integrated Care Management segment were significantly impacted by recognizing the cost of goods and services without recognizing the related revenue. If the Company had not recorded the $6 million contingent liability, the Company's gross margin during the fourth quarter would have been 38% on a non-GAAP basis, and the Integrated Care Management segment's gross margin would have been 72% on a non-GAAP basis. The Company added back the total contingent liability to the vendor of $17.8 million to adjusted EBITDA since the Company is not required to pay these expenses unless and until payment is received from the customer.
Please refer to the commentary and tables below under "Non-GAAP Financial Information."
Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Highlights:
- On a pro forma basis, fiscal 2021 revenues of $148.9 million, an increase of 28% versus the comparable year-ago period, with a pro forma gross margin for fiscal 2021 of 35%
- On a GAAP basis, revenue for fiscal 2021 of $123.8 million, with a gross margin of 35%
- Segment results:
- Goodwill impairment of $297.9 million
- Fiscal 2021 adjusted EBITDA of negative $6.5 million and pro forma adjusted EBITDA of negative $4.0 million
As stated above, during the fourth quarter 2021, the Company's Integrated Care Management segment provided services to a customer but did not recognize revenue associated with those services due to concerns that arose regarding the customer's creditworthiness and reserved $15.6 million of outstanding receivables from the customer from the second and third quarter 2021. In addition, during the fourth quarter 2021, the Company recorded a $6 million contingent liability in cost of goods and services related to services provided by a vendor to the Integrated Care Management segment, which is payable as proceeds are collected from the customer. As a result, fiscal year 2021 gross margin for both the Company and its Integrated Care Management segment were significantly impacted by recognizing the cost of goods and services without recognizing the related revenue. If the Company had not recorded the $6 million contingent liability, the Company's gross margin for 2021 would have been 40% on a non-GAAP basis and 39% on a pro forma basis, and the Integrated Care Management segment's gross margin would have been 51% on both a non-GAAP and pro forma basis. The Company added back the total contingent liability to the vendor of $17.8 million to adjusted EBITDA since the Company is not required to pay these expenses unless and until payment is received from the customer.
Please refer to the commentary and tables below under "Non-GAAP Financial Information."
Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Business Highlights:
- The Company closed pricing of $43.0 million public offering, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of $3.3 million, to further strengthen balance sheet and secure capital for continued growth.
- Martti™, the virtual care infrastructure platform in the US, continued to expand its reach across U.S. health systems with recent large wins at Yale New Haven Health, RWJ Barnabas and Ascension Health, resulting in approximately $10 million in annualized bookings. Martti™ currently supports 168,000 encounters per month and over 26,000 video endpoints at over 2,100 healthcare locations in the US.
- The Company recorded its largest volume of telehealth use in the US with over 7.4 million minutes of consultations in Q4, compared to 6.1 million minutes in Q2 and 4.6 million minutes in Q3 2020.
- The Company opened its first digitally enabled hospital in the Indian state of Nagaland. The hospital, HelloLyf HX, is the first facility of its kind and a revolutionary re-thinking of traditional hospitals with a state-of-the-art climate resilient design vetted and approved by the acclaimed Indian Institute Technology, Roorkee.
- After successful implementation of projects in the Indian states of Rajasthan, Odisha, and West Bengal, UpHealth won a contract to set up 550+ Hellolyf CX digital dispensaries in the Indian State of Madhya Pradesh, resulting in a total of 750+ government-placed facilities across India.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
In October, UpHealth raised $43.0 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of $3.3 million, from the issuance of approximately 26.5 million shares of common stock, substantially increasing the Company's free float and increasing the total number of outstanding shares to approximately 144 million. Proceeds of the equity offering are enabling UpHealth to satisfy its short-term liabilities and fund ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements associated with the Company's continued growth.
Fiscal 2022 Financial Outlook
For the year-ended December 31st, 2022, the Company is projecting:
- Revenue between $205 and $233 million, a 38-56% growth rate,
- Gross margins of 42% to 43%, and
- Adjusted EBITDA of $14 to $19 million.
"As we successfully complete our first yearly financial reporting as a public company, UpHealth is positioned to continue to leverage its scale and differentiation in the US and globally and is focused on solid and sustained profitability. The demand for our products and services in our target markets is unprecedented, enabling us to expand systematically on a global scale. UpHealth will grow revenue substantially in the integrated care management and virtual care management business lines, while continuing the fundamental transformation process started a few quarters ago to continue building an industry leading, global healthcare enterprise", said Dr. Ramesh Balakrishnan.
CEO transition
The Company announced on April 12, 2022, that a search is underway for a new CEO. The company expects to announce the new appointment in the coming weeks. Until that time, the current CEO, Dr. Ramesh Balakrishnan, will remain in place. Thereafter, he will transition to a different role in the company.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To supplement UpHealth's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, UpHealth presents investors with non-GAAP financial measures, including pro forma revenue, pro forma gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA.
- Pro forma revenue consists of GAAP revenue and revenue from UpHealth's subsidiaries prior to their acquisition.
- Pro forma gross margin consists of GAAP gross margin and gross margin from UpHealth's subsidiaries prior to their acquisition.
- Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income (loss) attributable to UpHealth, Inc., excluding depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation; lease abandonment expenses; goodwill impairment; contingent liabilities; acquisition, integration, and transformation costs; other income (expense); income tax benefit (expense); income (loss) from equity method investment; net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests; and other non-recurring charges to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to UpHealth, Inc. Other non-recurring charges to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to UpHealth, Inc. may include transaction expenses in connection with capital raising transactions (whether debt, equity or equity-linked) and acquisitions, whether or not consummated, purchase price adjustments, the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles, or other expenses determined to be non-recurring.

UpHealth believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to UpHealth's financial condition and results of operations. Management believes that the items described above provide an additional measure of UpHealth's operating results and facilitates comparisons of UpHealth's core operating performance against prior periods and business model objectives. This information is provided to investors in order to facilitate additional analyses of past, present, and future operating performance and as a supplemental means to evaluate UpHealth's ongoing operations. UpHealth believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in their assessment of UpHealth's operating performance.
Pro forma revenue, pro forma gross margin and adjusted EBITDA are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. You should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of UpHealth's results as reported under GAAP. UpHealth compensates for these limitations by prominently disclosing GAAP financial measures and providing investors with reconciliations from UpHealth's GAAP operating results to the non-GAAP financial measures for the relevant periods.
The accompanying tables provide more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures described above and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.

WASHINGTON — DMV residents know the Smithsonian museums are D.C. staples. Soon, there will be another cool exhibit to brave the crowds for.
The National Museum of American History is opening a permanent entertainment exhibit in December.
"Through the National Museum of American History’s extraordinary collection of theater, music, sports, movie and television objects, the exhibition Entertainment Nation will feature a powerful, ever-changing selection of objects and interactive experiences. Through the objects and their stories, the exhibition will explore how, for over 150 years, entertainment has provided a forum for important national conversations about who we are, and who we want to be," the museum said in a press release.
You can already see some of the items set to go on display online. They include pop culture relics like Prince's yellow "cloud" guitar, Muhammad Ali's boxing robe, and Tejana singer Selena's leather jacket and pants.
The goal is to highlight how entertainment has shaped our society and shine a light on entertainers who have broken barriers.
The permanent bilingual exhibit is set to open on December 9. | https://www.wusa9.com/article/entertainment/television/programs/get-up-dc/new-entertainment-nation-exhibit-at-smithsonian-american-history-museum/65-bb76431e-ed8a-4ec1-a6bc-1dd40bee4c7c | 2022-04-18T10:52:02Z | https://www.wusa9.com/article/entertainment/television/programs/get-up-dc/new-entertainment-nation-exhibit-at-smithsonian-american-history-museum/65-bb76431e-ed8a-4ec1-a6bc-1dd40bee4c7c | true | 1 |

Addressing a press conference on Monday, Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana explained the sequence of events pertaining to the Jahangirpuri violence. Mentioning that the analysis of digital evidence is underway, he also did not rule out taking action against the misinformation being spread on social media. On this occasion, he revealed that 14 teams of the Delhi Police Crime Branch are investigating the case from all angles. Rubbishing the claim that some people tried to hoist a flag in a mosque, he vowed that no culprit who directly or indirectly participated in the violence will be spared.
Delhi CP Rakesh Asthana remarked, "At about 6.15 pm, there was a clash between the people in the second half of the procession and the people who were standing in the locality. This was followed by stone-pelting and other incidents. Police was deployed with the procession. The Sub-Inspector and his team tried to separate the two sides and tried to control the situation. During this period, they sustained injuries. In the entire incident, 9 persons sustained injuries. This includes 8 police personnel and one civilian."
"We have arrested 23 persons so far after registering an offence. Out of these 23, 8 accused have a previous involvement. The analysis of CCTV footage and the other available digital evidence is going on. On the basis of that, some more people have been identified who will be subjected to custodial interrogation. 3 firearms and 5 swords were seized. The case has been transferred to the Crime Branch," he added. Asthana also made it clear that every angle including the possibility of an accused in the 2020 riot being involved in the violence will be probed.

This news release constitutes a "designated news release" for the purposes of the Company's prospectus supplement dated December 3, 2021 to its short form base shelf prospectus dated April 22, 2021.
CALGARY, AB, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - High Tide Inc. ("High Tide" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: HITI) (TSXV: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), a leading retail-focused cannabis company with bricks-and-mortar as well as global e-commerce assets, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Connect First Credit Union Ltd. ("connectFirst") for CAD$30 million in credit facilities over an initial 5-year term (the "Proposed Credit Facilities"). The Company intends to use the Proposed Credit Facilities to replace the Company's existing credit facility (the "Existing Facility") with its current bank lender as disclosed in its press release dated October 18, 2021. The Proposed Credit Facilities are comprised of CAD$15 million of term debt (the "Term Debt"), and a mergers and acquisitions revolving master line of CAD$15 million (the "M&A Master Line"). The Company expects to repay its Existing Facility with its current bank lender and repaying other existing debt upon securing the Proposed Credit Facilities with connectFirst, with the remaining proceeds from the Term Debt proceeds going to fund continued organic growth and general working capital requirements.
"While in the past it has not been our practice to announce letters of intent, we want to share this very important development with the market, which has been in the works for quite some time. I am very pleased to announce that we have entered into a letter of intent and have begun due diligence for the $30 million Proposed Credit Facilities with connectFirst. Our business is on a strong footing, having generated positive cash flow from operations last quarter before changes in working capital. Our retail stores continue to outperform the market, increasing market share every month since we launched our innovative discount club model in October 2021, and our execution has not gone unnoticed by top tier lenders," said Raj Grover, President and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide. "Upon closing the Proposed Credit Facilities, we will effectively be replacing our Existing Facility with a larger, less restrictive line – providing a boost to our balance sheet without diluting our existing shareholders. The initial $15 million of Term Debt will help clean up our short-term debt and provide funds for working capital and capital expenditure, and the $15 million revolving M&A Master Line will provide dry powder for acquisitions. We are in discussions with many groups, in various countries, and focused on different parts of the ecosystem which would be complementary to High Tide. These acquisition targets have demonstrated a willingness to take a position in our Company through share-based transactions. However, we anticipate that having a line set aside for acquisitions should help us be able to close more accretive transactions faster, while reducing dilution for our existing shareholders," added Mr. Grover.
- CAD$15 Million Term Debt: The Term Debt will be accessible on request by High Tide. The Term Debt will be interest only for 12 months followed by blended principal and interest payments.
- M&A Master Line for Future Growth: The Proposed Credit Facilities include the CAD$15 million revolving M&A Master Line to support future mergers and acquisitions initiatives. The M&A Master Line will have a 5-year term on each draw down, with blended principal and interest payments beginning on each draw down.
- Low Interest Rate: High Tide continues to receive industry leading interest rates that reflect the strength of its business. The interest rate under the Proposed Credit Facilities is a 5-year fixed rate of 5.19% per annum for the Term Debt and connectFirst prime + 2.50% per annum for the M&A Master Line.
- Financial Covenants: The Proposed Credit Facilities will have a quarterly tested financial covenant, a debt to equity ratio of less than 2:1. Additionally, the Proposed Credit Facilities will have one annually tested covenant, a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.25:1, a monthly current ratio covenant of not less than 1.25:1, and an annually tested covenant, a funded debt to EBITDA ratio of not more than 4:1 beginning with the fiscal year ending October 31, 2022. High Tide's 12-month forecast projects it to be comfortably in compliance with all financial covenants.
The Company expects to close on the Proposed Credit Facilities during the first half of June 2022, subject to certain pre-disbursement conditions and satisfaction of other customary conditions precedent. While the parties are in due diligence, no assurances can be given related to the closing of the Proposed Credit Facilities.

Bhubaneswar: A man who was picked up by Badagada police in connection with a bicycle theft case died late Sunday night. However, family of the accused man alleged it to be a custodial death.
The deceased was identified as Debendra Choudhury. He had been residing in a rented house at Kapilaprasad locality along with his wife, three daughters and a son. He was a vegetable vendor.
According to a source, Debendra was on his way back home from his in-laws’ house at Rasulgarh locality on the intervening night when Badagada police picked him up and took him to the station for interrogation over charge of stealing a bicycle.
“A police team tried to nab Debendra at Brahmeswarpatna at around 8.00pm Sunday. He had sustained injuries in bid to escape. He was a history-sheeter, a senior police official in Badagada station said.

“Debendra complained of illness Sunday night and he was admitted to Capital Hospital in Bhubaneswar for treatment. However, he breathed his last while undergoing treatment at the government-run hospital,” the senior police official further said.
Meanwhile, Debendra’s wife has alleged that the man was severely beaten to death by the police. “My husband was fit and fine and had no health issues whatsoever. He was picked up by Badagada police and thrashed at the station leading to his untimely death. He had no involvement in any bicycle theft case,” the deceased’s wife stated demanding a probe into the alleged custodial death.
“Police came to our house late Sunday night at around 1.30am and asked me to reach the police station soon. After I reached there, they informed me about my husband’s death,” the woman added.
“If the police nabbed my husband at 7.30pm, why did they inform me at 1.30am? It proves that they killed him in the custody,” she said.
Besides, the woman has lodged an FIR alleging that her husband was tortured by the police in the custody which led to his death.

As the old saying goes, "nothing is certain but death and taxes." It's unfortunate that these certainties aren't particularly pleasant, but what if there were a way for investors to benefit from the reliability with which the taxman comes calling?
Tax-compliance software might not seem exciting or glamorous compared to many other software-as-a-service (SaaS) product categories. Still, it's probably among the most essential for businesses and organizations. That's where Avalara (NYSE: AVLR) comes in. The company is providing software solutions that are helping business customers keep up with complexities stemming from e-commerce, digital transformation shifts, and cross-border sales -- and it's built for long-term success.
Strong business performance and long-term strategy
Avalara's tax compliance software makes it easy for small and medium-sized businesses to launch and expand e-commerce and omnichannel operations. Thanks to partnerships, sellers using platforms including Shopify, Etsy, and Wix.com can easily access its services, and the company has also been on an acquisitions push to expand the quality and breadth of its offerings.
The ability to import and cross-reference data across platforms and services can lead to improvements along a variety of lines, and Avalara is pursuing this strategy and shoring up its competitive position. Between new services from acquisitions, the expansion of its partner network, and the ability for businesses to more easily build compliance workflows through its recently launched low-code developer platform, the company is meeting customer needs and helping them work smarter, not harder. The approach is clearly paying off.
Avalara posted a net revenue retention rate of 115% in 2021, which means that existing customers boosted their spending on the company's services by 15% compared to the prior year.
Along with new customer additions, increased spending from existing clients helped push annual revenue up 40% in 2021 to reach $699 million. It's also worth noting that the business notched a 116% net revenue retention rate in each of its last three quarters, so there could be some room for retention to climb above last year's average -- particularly as the company introduces new service offerings.
Impressive net revenue retention rates point to customers seeing strong value in Avalara's platform and services. Furthermore, the combination of new customer additions and increased client spending should create a growth engine capable of delivering strong returns over the long term. The company also closed out the year with an adjusted gross margin of 73%, so while the tax specialist isn't yet profitable, it should be able to swing into significant earnings and growth when it's appropriate for the business's overall strategy.
Visionary leadership and a strong company culture
CEO Scott McFarlane co-founded Avalara in 2004 and has been shaping the business's direction ever since. Across his more than 30 years in business, the executive has aimed to "blend strategic innovation with rigorous operational discipline to create companies with unique cultures that shake the status quo." That's a fantastic leadership vision, and there are clear signs he's successfully making it a reality at Avalara.
86% of employee respondents on the workplace review platform Glassdoor.com approve of McFarlane's stewardship, and 74% would recommend working at the company to a friend. Operating a high-growth SaaS company in a highly competitive industry isn't easy, but Avalara appears to have a company culture that's up to the task.
What risks does Avalara face?
Avalara's business isn't currently posting profits, and its forward-looking valuation has caused the stock to fall out of favor as the market has moved away from growth-dependent companies toward those that can reliably deliver substantial earnings. If investors continue to move out of growth-dependent software stocks, that could result in more substantial sell-offs for Avalara stock in the near term.
Avalara looks well-positioned in its industry, but significant valuation declines could mean the company winds up issuing more stock than it otherwise would have as part of its employee compensation structure or as part of new acquisitions. The company has increased its total shares outstanding by roughly 25% over the last three years, which isn't terribly worrying. Still, there's a risk that higher levels of dilution will hurt investors.
Avalara will also have to contend with competitors in the tax compliance software space. The industry appears to be on track for strong growth and should be able to support multiple winners, but the company could lose market share to rivals including SAP, TaxCloud, Vertex Inc., Canopy Tax, and Thomson Reuters if it fails to keep up with customer demands and deliver appealing value with its products.
Why Avalara looks like a great buy
Avalara is trading down roughly 33% over the last year and approximately 50% from its lifetime high, and shares look attractively valued at current levels.
There are massive digital transformation and globalization trends taking place across the world economy, and that means businesses and institutions are seeing an increased need for digital solutions that can automate tax filings and ensure compliance. With a market cap of roughly $8.4 billion and the company valued at approximately 10 times this year's expected sales, Avalara still has huge room for growth and looks capable of delivering market-crushing returns for long-term investors.

Turkey launches major offensive into PKK targets in Northern Iraq
ANKARA
The Turkish army has launched a major offensive against PKK hideouts and targets in northern Iraq in a bid to destroy the terror organization’s capacity to attack Turkey in the coming months, the Defense Ministry has announced, informing that many terrorists were neutralized and their structures were hit as a preliminary result of the military operation.
The “Operation Claw Lock” was launched by the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) in the early hours of April 18 with airstrikes by Turkish fighter jets in Metina, Zap and Avashin-Basyan regions in northern Iraq, where PKK has its training camps and other hideouts. The operation aims to neutralize the terrorists and destroy their structures before they can resume their terrorist activities following the harsh conditions of winter.
The PKK, designated as a terror organization by Turkey, the United States and the European Union, has had its headquarters and main facilities in northern Iraq since the early 1980s. The intensified operations by the security organizations against the PKK in recent years have dealt a serious blow to the PKK’s capacity to attack Turkey.
“As of now, all of the planned targets have been achieved. A large number of terrorists have been neutralized,” Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said in a statement on April 18 as the operation continued with the participation of Special Forces and commandos on the ground.
Stressing that the operation was only possible after long-running preparations, Akar said: “Our friends successfully completed their mission. The shelters, bunkers, caves, tunnels, ammunition depots and so-called headquarters of terrorists were destroyed with great success by air operations and fire support vehicles.”
The military operation was carried out in line with Turkey’s respect for the territorial integrity of Iraq, and its sole targets were terrorists, the minister stated, informing that Turkey’s drones and armed drones, as well as attack helicopters, joined the air and ground forces.
“Our activities will continue determinately until the last terrorist is neutralized and all terror nests are destroyed,” he noted.
In a separate statement, the Defense Ministry stressed that the operation was pursued, with the coordination of Turkey’s friends and allies, without detailing them. The military mostly used nationally developed equipment and ammunition during the operation, it added.
More than 50 targets were hit during the operation.
The Turkish army has long been conducting cross-border operations into northern Iraq under the “Operation Claw Lock,” but this current “Claw Lock” constitutes the biggest one of this series. Its main target was the Zap region from where terrorists have been infiltrating Turkey for terrorist activities. Only 30 kilometers away from the Turkish border, the Zap region also hosts the PKK’s major hideouts and senior leaders. Around 50 targets were hit by the military during the operation. | https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkey-launches-anti-terror-operation-in-northern-iraq-173086 | 2022-04-18T11:10:56Z | https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkey-launches-anti-terror-operation-in-northern-iraq-173086 | false | 1 |
Navy criticised for using vessels ‘too big’ for job of rescuing Channel migrants
The Royal Navy has been criticised for being a “waste of time and resources” by using boats too big for the job of rescuing migrants crossing the English Channel.
Women, children and single men are among hundreds of people brought ashore on Good Friday as the Ministry of Defence takes over responsibility for handling migrants crossing the English Channel.
Royal Navy patrol vessels have been posted in the Channel to oversee operations after being put in charge by Prime Minister Boris Johnson from Thursday.
The naval ships have been spotted towing empty dinghies used by the people smugglers back to the UK after those onboard were offloaded on to boats operated by Border Force, which is part of the Home Office.
Portsmouth-based patrol vessel HMS Blazer, which is 21m long and 6m wide, was pictured towing two small boats into Dover on Thursday.
Military personnel waiting at the dockside in Dover have then been meeting the arrivals and placing them on to buses to be taken to processing centres.
Political commentator Nigel Farage has criticised the navy’s response as a “waste of time and resources” by using vessels which are “too high to pick up migrants”, meaning the RNLI and Border Force were still required to carry out the task.
He posted on Twitter: “The new Royal Navy presence in the Channel off to a terrible start…
“The gunwhales on the vessels are too high to pick up migrants, so the RNLI & Border Force are doing the job instead!
“The Navy are then going around picking up the empty dinghies. Waste of time and resources!”
Mr Johnson put the Royal Navy in “operational command” of handling boats crossing the Channel while, under newly-revealed plans, those detained could be flown to Rwanda within weeks.
The MoD has confirmed that 562 people were brought ashore from 14 boats on Thursday.
These figures do not include any being intercepted by the French authorities.
A further 600 are understood to have been brought to the UK on Wednesday, but the Home Office has not provided figures for what was its final day of responsibility for handling Channel crossings.
This means the total of migrants to have arrived in the UK so far this year including Good Friday will be about 6,000, according to figures compiled by the PA News agency.
Conservative MP James Heappey posted on Twitter in response to Mr Farage’s comments that the MoD was looking at leasing “more appropriate platforms” for the role.
He wrote: “We’ve been clear on limitations of RN patrol vessels all along hence why we’re leasing more appropriate platforms.”
An MoD spokeswoman said that it will provide one offshore patrol vessel, up to six P2000 Archer class vessels and one wildcat helicopter with the aim of bolstering the Border Force capabilities until longer-term, more appropriate vessels had been contracted.
She said: “We have been clear that the Royal Navy’s role is to protect life at sea, providing operational oversight and co-ordination.
“To achieve this, defence is supplementing Border Force assets, expertise and experience in managing the journey and arrivals of small boats to ensure no one arrives on their own terms.”
An RNLI spokeswoman said: “The RNLI is one of HM Coastguard’s declared list of search assets around the UK for the purposes of saving lives at sea and is tasked by them as necessary.
“HM Coastguard is responsible for initiation and coordination of all maritime search and rescue within the UK Maritime Search and Rescue Region and will actively manage multiple distress scenarios, calling in the RNLI depending on the immediate needs at the time.”
A Home Office spokeswoman declined to comment. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2573754398724/navy-criticised-for-using-vessels-too-big-for-job-of-rescuing-channel-migrants | 2022-04-18T11:11:43Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2573754398724/navy-criticised-for-using-vessels-too-big-for-job-of-rescuing-channel-migrants | false | 5 |

A top UAE official has condemned the “wave of hatred and intolerance” against Islam that Sweden is seeing. Dr Anwar Gargash, Diplomatic Advisor to the UAE President, tweeted on Monday that the development poses a danger to the principles of coexistence.
The UAE chose to follow the path of tolerance and reflects positively on its multicultural society, he added.
Saudi Arabia had earlier condemned the “deliberate abuse” of the Holy Quran by extremists in Sweden.
In a statement, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs highlighted the importance of spreading values of dialogue, tolerance, and coexistence.
BBC reported clashes for a fourth day straight in several Swedish cities, “sparked by the apparent burning of a Quran by a far-right, anti-immigrant group”.

VANCOUVER, BC, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The global flexible Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) market size reached USD 4.48 Billion in 2021 and is expected to register a significantly rapid revenue CAGR during the forecast period, according to latest analysis by Emergen Research. Increasing need for shock absorbance is one of the major factors expected to drive market revenue growth.
Drivers:
Proper visibility is essential as it improves the users' viewing experience. Flexible OLED displays provide wide viewing angle which results in better visibility. However, flexible OLED usage will raise concerns regarding power consumption as it consumes more power than LCDs. Therefore, manufacturers are investing in Research and Development (R&D) to develop flexible OLED displays with added functions and energy efficiency. Additionally, flexible OLED displays improve image quality, including better contrast, higher brightness, and wide color range along with much faster refresh rates which are expected to drive market revenue growth during the forecast period.

Restraints:
However, lack of quality issues due to residual stress, thermal stress, and external stress is one of the major factors expected to hamper revenue growth. Excessive bending of flexible OLED leads to residual, thermal, and external stresses which affect durability and quality. Additionally, flexible OLEDs also have shorter life span due to organic materials' usual degradation, prone to water damage, reduced outdoor visibility, and inaccurate color imitation affected by manufacturing configuration, which is expected to hamper market revenue growth during the forecast period.
Growth Projections:
The global flexible OLED market is expected to register a CAGR of 41.2% over the forecast period and revenue is projected to increase from USD 4.48 Billion in 2021 to USD 99.72 Billion in 2030. Increasing need for wider viewing angle is one of the major factors propelling revenue growth of the market.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis:
COVID-19 pandemic has a wide-ranging impact on flexible OLED market. Due to travel restrictions imposed by governments of various countries, that directly affect production and demand, by creating supply chain and market disruption. Additionally, stringent lockdown also affected manufacturing process of flexible OLED displays due to lack of workforce. This had a negative impact on economy of several flexible OLED manufacturers and consumer electronics industry, resulting in huge financial impacts. However, government initiatives and subsidies to promote and encourage adoption of energy-efficient displays and lightings to minimize power consumption is expected to drive market revenue growth going ahead.

Rupal Agarwal, Asia Quantitative Strategist at asset management firm AB Bernstein, said India faced a real challenge of stagflation–a combination of slowing economic growth and rising inflation.
Agarwal told CNBC-TV18 on April 18 that investors need to be more defensive in a scenario characterised by rising interest rates, a geopolitical crisis, higher crude oil prices and inflationary pressures.
Though global recession looks far-fetched, slower growth stoked stagflation concerns and could be a "real challenge" in India, Agarwal said.
"We define stagflation as a combination of higher inflation and slowing growth. We need not translate into an actual recession. We are not anticipating a recession to play out but it is more about slowing growth. Growth indicators are slowing for India but we are inching towards stagflation. Stagflation is not too far-fetched when it comes to India. With inflation moving much higher, it will become a real challenge," she said.
In a global market scenario characterised by uncertainty, the way to go for investors is to opt for high-quality sectors, Agarwal said, adding she was bullish on healthcare, staples, and technology.
"From a macro perspective, there are three larger concerns now. Key drivers for the market are a slower growth rate and higher inflation. Defensive sectors are tech, staples, healthcare, and utility," she said.
Explaining her current defensive position on the Indian stock market, Agarwal said, "We are getting into a space where stagflation is becoming a real possibility in India. Historically, stagnation times are more suitable for sectors like technology and staples which have been the most robust."
There are not enough catalysts for the markets to move higher, she said, adding India was experiencing an inflationary build-up.
India's retail inflation jumped to a 17-month high of 6.95 percent in March from 6.07 percent in February, according to data released on April 12 by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation.
The Reserve Bank of India this month lowered the economic growth forecast for the financial year 2023 to 7.2 percent from 7.8 percent projected earlier.
"We have been calling for a positioning which is more suitable for an environment where growth is slowing while inflationary pressures are still building. The fears of stagflation are coming to the forefront. This is something which is on the top of investors' mind and if we look at it from that perspective as well again you know it sort of indicates that one needs to be more defensive, you know, given where we are in the cycle," Agarwal said.
Asked whether investors should buy into dips in the stock market or pick between leaders and laggards, she said, "Focus should be on companies that are positioned in-between and ones expected to generate alpha in the next 1-12 months. These are the companies that fall out of the radar of investors. Companies most neutral in price action end up generating the most alpha." | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/stagflation-not-too-far-fetched-bullish-on-high-quality-stocks-says-bernsteins-rupal-agarwal-8372961.html/amp | 2022-04-18T11:24:29Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/stagflation-not-too-far-fetched-bullish-on-high-quality-stocks-says-bernsteins-rupal-agarwal-8372961.html/amp | true | 2 |

Following a week of cheating and breakup rumors, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky appear to still be very much together if photos from their weekend trip to Barbados are any indication of their relationship status.
Photos of the couple, obtained by TMZ, show the hip-hop megastars (who are expecting their first child together) holding hands as they arrived at the Barbados airport. (Rihanna is a native of the island nation.) The Daily Mail shared photos of the couple heading out to dinner later that night, a pregnant Rihanna in a black minidress and Rocky sporting a more casual look of jeans and a t-shirt.
The photographs come following a week of rumors that the couple, who have been dating since 2020, were either broken up or on the rocks following allegations that Rocky cheated on Rihanna with Fendi designer Amina Muaddi.
Muaddi addressed the unfounded rumors on her Instagram Story on Friday, writing: “I’ve always believed that an unfounded lie spread on social media doesn’t deserve any response or clarification, especially one that is so vile. I initially assumed that this fake gossip — fabricated with such malicious intent — would not be taken seriously. However in the last 24h I’ve been reminded that we live in a society that is so quick to speak on topics regardless of factual basis and that nothing is off limits. Not even during what should be one of the most beautiful and celebrated times in one’s life.

Sri Lanka President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has appointed 17 cabinet ministers on Monday even while anti-government protests continue to pick steam following the economic and political crisis in the country.
The new ministers have been appointed with the aim to ensure the smooth functioning of the administration. They were sworn in at the President’s house, reported ANI.
This is the third cabinet reshuffle carried out by Rajapaksa.
While the new Cabinet consists of eight former Ministers, it will have a number of new faces, Colombo Page reported.
The entire cabinet of 26 Ministers except for Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa resigned from their respective portfolios on April 3 amidst the worst economic crisis in the island's history.
On the next day, President Rajapaksa had appointed four Ministers to maintain the legitimacy and stability of Parliament and other functions of the country.
The island nation is facing its worst economic crisis since independence with food and fuel shortages, soaring prices and power cuts affecting a large number of the people, resulting in massive protests over the government's handling of the situation.
Sri Lanka's economy has been in a free-fall since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the crash of the tourism sector.
Sri Lanka is also facing a foreign exchange shortage, which has affected its capacity to import food and fuel. The shortage of essential goods forced Sri Lanka to seek assistance from friendly countries.
The economic situation has led to huge protests with demands for the resignation of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa and President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
Earlier, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa in a special address to the nation had requested people to remain patient and stop taking to the streets in order to enable the government to resolve the situation.

Equity benchmarks tumbled for the fourth consecutive session today, dragged down by heavyweights Infosys and HDFC twins amid a weak trend in Asian markets. Sensex tanked 1,172.19 points or 2.01 per cent to end at 57,166.74. During the day, the 30 stock index tanked 1,496.54 points or 2.56 per cent to 56,842.39.
Nifty crashed 302 points or 1.73 per cent to close at 17,173.65.
Infosys, HDFC, HDFC Bank, Tech Mahindra, Wipro and TCS were the top Sensex losers falling up to 7.27 per cent. NTPC, Tata Steel, Maruti, Titan, Nestle, Titan and M&M were among the top Sensex gainers, rising up to 6.11 per cent.
Of 30 Sensex stocks, 20 ended in the red.
Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, said, "Unfavourable start to earnings season in heavyweight stocks of IT and banking sector led to heavy sell-off. Lower-than-expected results prompted the market to worry about the headwinds faced by IT sector like attrition, wage inflation, lower utilisation, and cut in IT spending by industries due to geopolitical and macro issue. The degree of downfall is high because the sector was trading at high valuation and risk of a downgrade in outlook has increased."
Market cap of BSE-listed firms fell by Rs 2.59 lakh crore today to Rs 269.44 lakh crore against the market cap of Rs 272.03 lakh crore on April 13 this year.
Infosys stock fell 7.16 per cent after the IT firm's Q4 earnings failed to enthuse investors.
Shares of HDFC Bank lost 4.53 per cent to Rs 1,398.50 even as the leading private sector lender reported a 22.8 per cent rise in its standalone net profit at Rs 10,055.2 crore for the quarter ended March 2022.
IT, banking and pharma shares were the top sectoral losers with their BSE indices falling 1,646 points, 725 points and 188 points, respectively.
Rahul Sharma, Research Head, Equity 99 said, "After a long weekend, we witnessed huge fall of 2% in benchmark index. The fall was mainly on account of below estimates results of Infosys and HDFC Bank and the rising tension between Russia and Ukraine. We expect further fall in markets in coming days considering the recent rise of COVID cases in India and rising inflation concerns across the globe. Investors are advised to diversify their portfolio and also keep adequate liquidity in hand."
BSE mid-cap and small-cap indices slumped 237 points and 297 points, respectively. The market breadth was negative with 1,462 shares ending higher against 2062 stocks falling in the red. 146 shares were unchanged.
Foreign institutional investors offloaded shares worth a net Rs 2,061.04 crore on Wednesday, according to exchange data.
Meanwhile, the rupee slipped 6 paise to close at 76.25 against the US dollar on Monday, tracking the strength of the greenback overseas and elevated crude oil prices.
At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened lower at 76.41 against the American currency, and finally settled for the day at 76.25, down 6 paise over its previous close. During the trading session, the rupee witnessed an intra-day high of 76.20 and a low of 76.43.
The wholesale price-based inflation zoomed to a four-month high of 14.55 per cent in March on rising prices of crude oil and other commodities due to disruption in global supply chain in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war, a development that may prompt the RBI to raise interest rates to contain price rise.
In Asia, markets in Seoul, Shanghai and Tokyo settled lower. Hong Kong was closed for a holiday. International oil benchmark Brent crude slipped 0.18 per cent to $111.5 per barrel.
On Wednesday (April 13), Sensex declined 237.44 points or 0.41 per cent to end at 58,338.93. Nifty dipped 54.65 points or 0.31 per cent to finish at 17,475.65.
Stock markets were closed on Thursday for Mahavir Jayanti and Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Jayanti, as well as on Friday on account of Good Friday.

Nasdaq, S&P, Dow futures slide amid low global holiday volume
Stock index futures point to a lower open on Wall Street Monday as rates continue their ascent.
Nasdaq 100 futures (NDX:IND) -0.6% are faring a little worse than S&P futures (SPX) -0.5% and Dow futures (INDU) -0.3%.
European markets, as well as Hong Kong and Australia, are closed for Easter Monday.
Asian markets that are open, including Shanghai, are mostly lower after China reported annual Q2 GDP of 4.8%, which topped expectations, but was still far from the goal of 5.5% growth.
The Treasury yield curve is steepening again. The 10-year Treasury yield is up 4 basis points to 2.85% and the 2-year is up 3 basis points to 2.47% as the 2s10s spread approaches 40 basis points after its recent inversion.
Goldman Sachs says it now sees a 35% chance of a U.S. recession in the next two years.
Earnings season moves into a higher gear this week with more than 100 companies reporting, including Tesla on 4/20.

Initiative gives LDCs free access to BitSight's platform, providing them with data and insights needed to start addressing cyber risk smarter and faster
BOSTON, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BitSight, the Standard in Security Ratings, has announced its intention to contribute to Partner2Connect Digital Coalition to help Least Developed Countries (LDCs) accelerate improvements in their country's cybersecurity posture and reduce the cyber capacity gap. This contribution will be implemented in the framework of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) project Cyber for Good.
LDCs have historically lacked the resources and skills to properly identify and manage cybersecurity risks. The need to address this gap continues to grow more critical as the global economy becomes more technology-centered and cyber-risk becomes more sophisticated and ubiquitous. According to BitSight, while developed countries' national cybersecurity performance has steadily improved since 2017, LDC cybersecurity performance has declined over the same timeframe; in 2020, LDCs had 46% lower BitSight security ratings than developed countries.
"I welcome this Partner2Connect pledge by BitSight to bridge the cyber capacity gap in the Least Developed Countries," said Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Director of ITU's Telecommunication Development Bureau. "Through this contribution, LDCs will access useful resources to identify their cyber vulnerabilities and take targeted steps to lower their cyber risks."
This pledge towards Partner2Connect will provide LDCs with free access to the BitSight Critical National Infrastructure solution for a full year. The solution will let LDCs monitor their critical infrastructure, such as electric utilities, water systems and emergency services, so they can better protect themselves from cyber threats.
"With advanced data tools, LDCs can immediately establish a better understanding of the risks their organizations face and how to manage them," said Steve Harvey, BitSight's chief executive officer. "By helping these countries improve their cybersecurity stature, we are creating a more secure global environment. We are proud to partner with the ITU on this critical initiative to improve global cyber capacity."
Botswana, an early participant of the program, has already seen improvements in its national cybersecurity capacity. Head of Botswana CIRT (BwCIRT) Emmanuel Thekiso noted, "Before using the BitSight tool, the Botswana CIRT team did not have any tool in place to measure the cybersecurity posture in the country. The BitSight tool has a large footprint on the public internet for observing traffic and makes efforts to ensure accurate data. The platform is easy to use and provides fantastic summary reporting related to security which is easy for management and the Board to understand. It provides valuable, objective and comparable data, which can drive better risk-based decisions across different stages of vendor risk management life-cycle."
Eswatini, another early program participant, has similarly seen improvements. Eswatini Communications Commission IT Engineer Nokuthula Hlophe commented, "BitSight is a great tool that has given Eswatini visibility of the country's cyber risks, helping the country make informed decisions and improve the nation's cybersecurity posture as a whole. The tool is non-intrusive with no requirement for any hardware. The dashboards are easy to navigate and compliment internal vulnerability applications. Improving the threat landscape for any country requires a concerted effort from different stakeholders and BitSight offers just that."

Nicola Sturgeon and Boris Johnson are among a group of 13 senior UK politicians banned from entering Russia by the Kremlin.
The pair join Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, former Prime Minister Theresa May and Justice Secretary Dominic Raab on the list published by Russia’s foreign ministry.
The department said in a statement the move was due to the “unprecedented hostile actions of the British Government, expressed, in particular, in the imposition of sanctions against top officials” in Russia.
The first minister issued a statement in response in which she declared Putin a “war criminal”, and said she would “not shy away from condemning him and his regime”.
She added: “Scotland is determined to take the strongest possible action to isolate and penalise his regime, and do everything possible to support the people of Ukraine.
“We must make sure that those on the side of freedom and democracy work together to ensure Putin’s regime, and his network of oligarchs, are as isolated as possible.
“International condemnation – not just in words but in actions – against Russia must be as strong as possible.
“It falls to every leader to choose a side in this unprovoked aggression. I am clear that I stand with Ukraine and against Putin. And Scotland is clear – we all stand with Ukraine.”
News of the list came as Russian troops started assaults on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv after a brief reprieve.
Mr Johnson spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday afternoon where the pair discussed the need for a long-term security solution for Ukraine.
In their statement, the Russian foreign ministry accused British authorities of a “Russophobic course of action”.
A UK Government spokesman said: “The UK and our international partners stand united in condemning the Russian government’s reprehensible actions in Ukraine and calling for the Kremlin to stop the war. We remain resolute in our support for Ukraine.” | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/politics/scottish-politics/4181006/nicola-sturgeon-and-boris-johnson-among-senior-uk-politicians-banned-from-russia/ | 2022-04-18T11:43:30Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/politics/scottish-politics/4181006/nicola-sturgeon-and-boris-johnson-among-senior-uk-politicians-banned-from-russia/ | false | 3 |
Brewers podcast: A winning week, but some early-season hiccups, especially with the offense
It was a bumpy week for the Milwaukee Brewers, albeit one with a 4-3 record. The offense looked an awful lot like last year, and players like Freddy Peralta and Devin Williams hit some speed bumps. What should Brewers fans be concerned about given the early stage of the season? Reporter Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe look at some reassuring performances from other members of the pitching staff, some timely work by Tyrone Taylor, a new-look Camden Yards and much more, including a history lesson featuring the first game at County Stadium.

More than a month after the Ever Forward ran aground in the Chesapeake Bay, the container ship was successfully refloated Sunday morning, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
Crews had made two unsuccessful attempts to free the grounded ship before they began removing containers to lighten the load. After 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 more than 1,000-foot 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.
Stay informed about local news and weather. Get the NBC 6 South Florida app for iOS or Android and pick your alerts.
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 ship was headed from the Port of Baltimore to Norfolk, Virginia, on March 13 when it ran aground just north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
Officials have said there were no reports of injuries, damage or pollution.
U.S. & World
Salvage experts had determined they wouldn’t be able to overcome the ground force of the Ever Forward when it was loaded with 5,000 containers, the U.S. Coast Guard, Maryland Department of the Environment and Taiwan-based Evergreen Marine Corp., the ship's operator, had said in a news release. Unloading the ship offered the best chance to refloat it, officials said.
Salvage crews were offloading 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.
The shipping channel remained open to one-way traffic during the operation.
The Coast Guard has said it hadn't determined what caused the Ever Forward to run aground.

COVID kid long haulers: Specialized treatment needed
HACKENSACK, N.J. (IVANHOE NEWSWIRE) - Experts say it’s hard to pinpoint an exact number, but recent research shows that anywhere from 10 to 30 percent of all kids who contract COVID-19 experience symptoms that last six months or longer. Learn what researchers are discovering about COVID kid long haulers and the effort to return them to good health.
COVID in kids. In the beginning, the infection looked a whole lot different in children than in adults.
Dr. Katharine Clouser of Hackensack University Medical Center explains, “We were seeing a lot more of the gastrointestinal side effects. They were having a lot of diarrhea, a lot of vomiting, a lot of abdominal pain.”
But with the rise of COVID variants, experts say those under 18 now have symptoms similar to adults: fever, cough, headaches, difficulty breathing, and extreme fatigue. And up to one in three kids may be having trouble getting back to normal.
“What we’re mainly seeing is kids who used to be really good in school, who are now struggling in school, kids who have trouble sleeping, who can’t stay awake, or that athlete, who’s really having a hard time kind of returning to their level of activity, post the infection,” Dr. Clouser further explains.
Dr. Clouser is among the pediatric specialists who are part of the Hackensack Meridian Children’s Pediatric COVID Recovery Center. Pediatric pulmonologists, cardiologists, neurologists, rehab specialists, and others work together to treat a wide range of symptoms.
“We’re doing things to help them to regain their stamina. So, if they’ve got headaches, we may need to put them on migraine medication. If they’re having a hard time getting back to their level of activity because they’re having a difficult time breathing, we’ll do lung tests, lung function tests, and they may need to go on an inhaler for a period of time,” Dr. Clouser says of their research.
The Pediatric COVID Recovery Center also makes counselors and Child Life Services available to patients and families. Experts say they need to address the stressors that come along with recovering from a long illness. As of August, about four dozen U.S. hospital systems had opened specialized COVID recovery centers for adult patients. Only about half a dozen pediatric centers exist, including the one at Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health in New Jersey.

Lewis Hamilton has been told he's been "spoiled" at Mercedes amid his struggles so far in the 2022 F1 season.
New technical regulations have signalled the start of a new era in F1, with all teams having to make major adaptations to their cars. It's Ferrari who appear to have adjusted better than most, with Charles Leclerc having won two of the three races so far.
Hamilton however, has endured a difficult start with the Silver Arrows noticeably off the pace in comparison to the Scuderia and Red Bull . The 37-year-old has also been plagued by the issue of porpoising, with both he and team-mate George Russell having to negotiate an unsteady W13 vehicle.
Hamilton did manage a third-placed podium finish in the opening race in Bahrain, but only after benefiting from late retirements by Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez. A week later in Saudi Arabia, fans were left stunned when he was eliminated in Q1.
He went on to finish 10th in the race, earning just a solitary point, before coming fourth in Melbourne. He currently lies fifth in the standings on 28 points, already 43 off leader Leclerc.
It's not a situation that Hamilton has been used to since joining Mercedes in 2013. Toto Wolff's team have been constructors' champions for the past sevens seasons, with the British driver individual champion in five of those campaigns.
And now ex-F1 driver Marc Surer has implied Hamilton has become too accustomed to being in a "perfect" car. He also isn't surprised that he's currently being out-performed by Russell.
"He has only driven perfect cars for the last few years, he’s spoiled," Surer told Formel1.de . "Russell is used to driving fast with a bad car. Lewis is no longer used to that."
Russell joined from Williams, where he drove in a car which was deemed uncompetitive. He did manage one second-placed finish in Belgium last season, but in a rain affected race where only two safety car led laps were possible, with half-points awarded afterwards.
But Surer isn't concerned about Hamilton long-term. And he expects the two compatriots to become embroiled in tight battle as the season progresses.
"I actually thought he [Hamilton] would have a harder time against Russell, especially in qualifying,” he continued. "But there is not much missing, there is hardly any difference between the two.
"And in the race, Hamilton is the benchmark – who always whines on the radio, but on the other hand always gives everything. That’s why I’m not worried about Lewis."

Apparently, state lawmakers want even more unaccountable, special-interest money influencing local school board elections in Colorado. That’s the main takeaway from a bill recently passed by our legislature and signed into law last week by Gov. Jared Polis.
House Bill 1060 caps campaign contributions to school board candidates at $2,500 per donor in all 178 school districts in the state. If the donor is a “small donor committee” — in most instances, that means a labor union that bundles contributions from its members — it can give $25,000 to each candidate under the new law.
Yes, the carve-out for unions is yet another kiss blown to organized labor by ruling Democrats at the Capitol. It’s extra clout for the teacher unions that long have dominated school board races. But that’s an old, familiar story and almost beside the point nowadays.
What’s more noteworthy about HB 1060 — just like most other attempts at “campaign finance reform” that are intended to “get money out of politics” — is it inevitably will backfire. It offers the public the perception of curbing big donations but will in fact just reroute that money to the independent expenditure committees that increasingly dominate politics. They’re the ones that send out the nastiest mailers — but aren’t linked to individual candidates’ campaigns.
By one tally of last fall’s school board elections, fully two thirds of the $1.8 million spent on the races in the state’s largest school district, Denver’s, was by independent expenditure committees. That’s more than half of the $2.1 million spent on all school board races statewide.
Now, voters can expect the committees to claim an even larger share because candidates won’t be able to raise as much. The committees aren’t allowed to coordinate with the individual candidates they support, but that makes them even less accountable to the voting public.
When a candidate’s campaign pays for a smear against an opponent, the campaign has some explaining to do. But when an expenditure committee does the dirty work, the candidate and campaign are off the hook.
Unlike candidates, the committees can’t be reined in by lawmakers. Because they represent groups of private citizens rather than office seekers, the courts have held that the committees have a fairly unfettered First Amendment right to political expression in elections.
Which is why most proposals to do away with the presumably corrupting influence of money on politics only wind up drawing in more money. It just doesn’t go to the candidates themselves.
Sure, such campaign finance reform has a deceptive allure. Voters might be alarmed when informed that tens of thousands of dollars, or even more, were raised by a school board candidate. The public understandably fears what strings might be attached and demands a crackdown
But when the same money flows into the coffers of a third-party player like an independent expenditure committee, the public doesn’t associate it with the candidate — who nevertheless will benefit from the committee’s campaign message. That’s especially so when, as is often the case, the committee plays bad cop and slings mud at the candidate’s opponent. The mud flies under the radar before landing on its target.
The most effective campaign finance reform is an informed electorate. Heaping ever tighter contribution limits on candidates doesn’t stop the flow of money, it just redirects it around voters’ backs. Far better to let candidates raise what contributions they can and simply require them to disclose the donors and amounts. Then, let the voters decide. | https://denvergazette.com/opinion/editorials/editorial-more-murky-money-will-muddy-politics/article_8c9bb142-bd0b-11ec-b675-5ba0a19d00c1.html | 2022-04-18T12:00:00Z | https://denvergazette.com/opinion/editorials/editorial-more-murky-money-will-muddy-politics/article_8c9bb142-bd0b-11ec-b675-5ba0a19d00c1.html | false | 4 |
British fighters paraded on Russian TV to ask for exchange with 'Prince of Darkness'
TWO BRITISH fighters who were captured by Russia in Ukraine have been paraded on the Kremlin's state television, asking to be exchanged for Putin's "Prince of Darkness"
British fighters Shaun Pinner and Aiden Aslin spoke separately on the Rossiya 24 state TV channel, each being prompted by an unidenfied man.
It is not clear how freely the two men are able to talk in the footage.
Mr Pinner, 48, is a former Royal Anglian soldier. He was captured in Mariupol fighting alongside Ukrainian marines.
Mr Aslin, 28, from Nottinghamshire, had also been defending the beseiged city before being forced to surrender after he ran out of food and ammunition.
In the footage, both men ask Boris Johnson to help bring them home, in exchange for Ukraine release pro-Russian politican and oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk - known as the "Prince of Darkness."
Mr Medvedchuk appeared in a video released by Ukraine's SBU Intelligence service today at around the same time, also asking to be swapped.
The oligarch appealed to both Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin, asking to be set free in exchange for the defenders of Mariupol and any civilians being allowed to leave.
The port city of Mariupol, a key strategic target for Putin and the site of some of his war effort's most horrific atrocities, is nearly completely taken by Russian forces.
Mr Pinner and Mr Aslin could be seen being shown a video of Mr Medvedchuk’s wife, Oksana, making an appeal over the weekend for her husband to be swapped for the two British nationals.
Mr Pinner appears exhausted and worried. After being shown the video, he said: "I'd like to appeal to the government to send my back home, I'd like to see my wife again."
He went on to make a direct appeal to Mr Johnson on his and Mr Aslin's behalf, saying: "We look to exchange myself and Aiden Aslin for Mr Medvedchuk. Obviously I would really appreciate your help in this matter."
He added that he spoke a little Russian, and had been treated well.
Mr Aslin wore a t-shirt bearing the emblem of Ukraine's far-right and controversial Azov battalion in the video.
He said: "I think that Boris needs to listen to what Oksana (Medvedchuk’s wife) has said.
“If Boris Johnson really does care about British citizens like he says he does then he will help.”
Ukraine said that three days after Russia invaded the country on February 24, Mr Medvedchuk escaped from house arrest.
He had been placed under house arrest in May 2021, charged with high treason and later, aiding terrorism. He has denied any wrongdoing.
The pro-Russian said that Putin was godfather to his daughter, adding in the video: "I understand the situation." | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1597482/shaun-pinner-aiden-aslin-russia-tv-captured-british-fighters-Viktor-Medvedchuk-exchange | 2022-04-18T12:06:15Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1597482/shaun-pinner-aiden-aslin-russia-tv-captured-british-fighters-Viktor-Medvedchuk-exchange | true | 1 |
To her followers around the country, former Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is a beloved culture warrior.
"Right-winging, bitter-clinging, proud clingers of our guns, our God, our religion and our Constitution," is how Palin described the culture she is fighting for in 2016, while on stage with Donald Trump to endorse his run for president.
Other than the "bitter" part, that description would seem to fit Alaskan retiree and Vietnam veteran Ron Johnson, right down to the American flag t-shirt he wears under a camouflage-printed fleece jacket.
Johnson lives about 25 miles from Palin's hometown of Wasilla, the heartland of Alaska conservatism. He's got a Trump sign by his driveway, and he's certainly a proud gun owner.
"Once you get into it, no telling how many guns you'll have. Just right here, there's one above me," he told a visitor at the front door of his log home. "And two set in here, and one on my waist."
Johnson voted for Palin for governor. But now that she's running for Alaska's sole U.S. House seat? Even this right-wing, gun-toting Republican doesn't want her to win.
"I think she's out of touch with Alaskans right now," he said. "She's moved into a different circle. She was a vice presidential candidate. Yeah, I don't think that the people here — we don't take her very seriously."
That Palin doesn't have the conservative vote locked up on her own ruby-red home turf suggests Alaska's most famous Republican has some challenges to overcome if she's going to be the state's next member of Congress.
Johnson doesn't blame Palin for cashing in on her celebrity with a series of TV appearances after a bruising presidential campaign.
"She's made a lot of money and, you know, good for her. I'm glad that she's successful," Johnson said.
Other local conservatives say some of her televised gigs damaged her stature, like in 2020 when she wore a pink and blue bear suit on the show The Masked Singer and rapped "Baby Got Back."
"That (national) attention ... to me it's just made her more of an embarrassment to Alaskans than someone to respect and support," said Karina Wentworth, a stay-at-home mom and marketing manager who lives in Wasilla.
Wentworth's politics, like Johnson's, are clear from the driveway: A small banner proclaims her household is "Pro-life, Pro-God, Pro-gun, Pro-Trump." Even though Trump has endorsed Palin's candidacy, even though her kids go to middle school with Sarah Palin's son, Wentworth is just not that into Palin.
"Her focus has become more centered on herself and less on Alaska," Wentworth said. "So yeah, I would like to see a candidate that is more Alaska-focused."
Wentworth contrasts her own dim view of Palin with that of her in-laws in Georgia, who she says watch Palin on Fox News as "sparkly-eyed fans."
Alaska's U.S. House seat is open for the first time in 49 years, after the death in March of Congesssman Don Young. Palin is one of 48 candidates seeking to serve the remainder of his term. Many of them, including Palin, are also running for the next full term, which starts in January.
Wentworth is backing a different conservative Republican: Nick Begich III. Begich has done months of outreach in the Wasilla area and has locked up endorsements from dozens of local political leaders. Johnson, a regional representative to the state Republican party, also supports Begich in the race.
Shoppers at the Carrs supermarket in Wasilla offered a broader range of views about Palin, from adoration to indifference.
"I don't think many people up here have a very high standing of her," said Jennefer DelaVega, a libertarian.
"I think it's great that she's running," said Dan Lousberg. "I'd like to see her win. I think it'd be great for our state."
Another shopper called Palin "a quitter." That shopper is not unique.
In a survey about three years after Palin resigned from the governor's office, Anchorage pollster Ivan Moore said, more than half of Alaskans had a negative view of her.
"We asked them why, and 'quit,' 'quitter' — all the way down, every other comment was 'quit' or 'quitter,'" Moore said.
Moore asked Alaskans again in October whether they have a positive or negative view of Palin.
"Her positive-negative came back at 31 positive, 56 negative. So that's the immediate problem," said Moore, who previously did work for other candidates in the race.
The Palin campaign declined several interview requests, but Palin told reporters at Don Young's funeral that she's traveled in the Lower 48, but never moved away from Wasilla.
"Still in the same house. Same group of friends. Same groups of political supporters. And yeah, this is home," she said.
Her popularity may have dimmed, but Palin is still a household name. Just about everyone expects she will survive the 48-way primary, especially because Alaska has a new voting system in which she only has to be one of the top four vote-getters to advance to the general.
What happens after that is harder to say.

ED attaches assets worth ₹757 crore of Amway India, says firm has no focus on products
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached assets worth ₹757.77 crore belonging to Amway India Enterprises Pvt Ltd, the popular direct marketing company accused of pushing multi-level marketing (MLM) by enrolling lakhs of people as its members and offering them lucrative commissions on exorbitantly priced products.
In a detailed statement issued on Monday, the ED said Amway India’s “entire focus is about propagating how members can become rich by becoming members”, not on the products. It said the products are used by (Amway) to masquerade this MLM pyramid fraud as a direct selling company.
The properties attached under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) include land and factory buildings of the company at Dindigul district, Tamil Nadu; plant and machineries, vehicles, bank accounts and fixed deposits.
Earlier, the central agency had attached several immovable and movable properties worth ₹411.83 crore and bank balance worth ₹345.94 crore in 36 different accounts of Amway.
A money laundering probe against Amway, which has 5.5 lakh direct sellers across the country, was launched in 2011 on the basis of cases registered by Hyderabad police.
The probe revealed that Amway is running a pyramid fraud in the guise of direct selling multi-level marketing network. “It is observed that the prices of most of the products offered by the company are exorbitant as compared to the alternative popular products of reputed manufacturers available in the open market,” ED said on Monday.
It said that without knowing the real facts, gullible common citizens were induced to join as members of the company and purchase products at exorbitant prices, thus losing their hard-earned money.
“The new members are not buying the products to use them, but to become rich by becoming members as showcased by the upline members (or the initial members who enrolled the majority members in the scheme). Reality is that the commissions received by the upline members contribute enormously in hike of prices of the products,” said the ED statement.
The agency found that Amway collected ₹27,562 crore from its business operations from 2002-03 to 2021-22. Of this amount, the company paid commission worth ₹7,588 crore to its distributors and members in India and in the United States during FY2002-03 to FY2020-21.
“The entire focus of the company is about propagating how members can become rich by becoming members. There is no focus on the products. Products are used to masquerade this MLM Pyramid fraud as a direct selling company,” ED added.
The probe revealed that Amway had brought ₹21.39 crore as share capital in India in 1996-97 and till FY2020-21, the company remitted huge amount of ₹2,859.10 crore in the name of dividend, royalty and other payments to their investors and parent entities.
ED has accused two other companies - Britt Worldwide India Private Limited and Network Twenty One Private Limited for playing a major role in promoting Amway’s pyramid scheme by conducting seminars where members were asked to join under the guise of sale of goods.
The agency said the promoters of the company conducted mega conventions and flaunted their lavish lifestyle and used social media to lure gullible investors.
A statement issued by Amway India said “the action of the authorities is with regards to the investigation dating back to 2011 and since then we have been co-operating with the department and have shared all the information as sought for from time to time since 2011. We will continue to cooperate with the relevant government authorities and the law officials towards a fair, legal, and logical conclusion of the outstanding issues”.
“However, the recent inclusion of Direct Selling under the Consumer Protection Act (Direct Selling) rules, 2021, has brought in the much- needed legal and regulatory clarity for the industry, while again confirming Amway India’s continuous compliance with the spirit and letter of all laws and regulations in India. Amway has a rich history of maintaining the highest levels of probity, integrity, corporate governance, and consumer protection, which are much ahead of time in the interest of the consumers at large,” the company said.
An email sent to Britt Worldwide remained unanswered. Network Twenty One representatives could not be located for comments. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/ed-attaches-assets-worth-rs-757-crore-of-amway-india-says-firm-has-no-focus-on-products-101650282131787.html | 2022-04-18T12:15:45Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/ed-attaches-assets-worth-rs-757-crore-of-amway-india-says-firm-has-no-focus-on-products-101650282131787.html | true | 2 |

Cities are being bombed, warships sunk and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians have been killed. And as the real struggle in Ukraine continues to intensify, so does the accompanying war of words.
This past week, President Biden again ratcheted up his rhetoric when he told an audience in Iowa President Vladimir Putin was "a dictator [who] commits genocide."
In previous remarks since Putin's armed forces invaded Ukraine in February, Biden had called the atrocities reported from that country "war crimes." He had called Putin a "war criminal" who said he needed to be removed from power. (The White House subsequently walked back the latter comment.) Nonetheless, his use of the word genocide detonated in the media and spread shock waves through the international community.
Many observers have suggested that if Ukraine is right about the systematic murder of its civilians, these acts fit the definition of "war crimes" or "crimes against humanity" as understood by international courts for generations. Deliberate targeting of civilians is definitionally a war crime.
But Biden went further: "Yes, I called it genocide. It has become clearer and clearer that Putin is just trying to wipe out the idea of even being – being able to be Ukrainian."
Each presidential turn of the rhetorical ratchet in recent weeks has made news, catching NATO allies off guard and prompting "clarification" from the White House. Yet each has also set a tone for much of the war debate that followed.
It should also be noted that in each instance of provocative language Biden has been essentially been following the lead of his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Ukrainian president has also personalized the struggle, calling Putin out for war crimes and labeling the killing of civilians in Ukraine as genocide.
Most recently, Zelenskyy has called on the U.S. to add Russia to its list of "state sponsors of terrorism," which now includes the regimes in Syria, Iran, Cuba and North Korea.
That list, too, is often misunderstood and subject to interpretation, but it was begun in 1979 and used by subsequent presidents in both parties to justify various acts against several countries – including Iraq, Sudan, Libya and South Yemen.
Appropriating Putin's own language
There is a degree of irony in the use of the word "genocide" at this stage of the war because it figured so prominently in Putin's own rhetoric prior to the invasion. In February, Putin accused Ukrainian forces of killing Russian-speaking separatists in the eastern part of the country (known as the Donbas for its geographic role as the basin of the Don River).
"What is happening in the Donbas today is genocide," Putin told his country on Feb. 15. Thereafter, a chorus of other Russian voices in government and the media took up the theme. Russia even complained to the United Nations Security Council that Ukraine was "exterminating the civilian population" in the Donbas.
Putin provided no evidence for this claim at the time and has not since. But the accusation has been part of the Russian media campaign against the government in Kyiv since a popular uprising deposed a pro-Putin autocrat there in 2014. It is often invoked in discussions of Russian ethnicity and the importance of protecting culturally Russian people wherever they may live.
Still, the sudden prominence of the genocide term this past winter seemed a warning that Putin was about to make a move. And indeed, a little more than a week later, Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine — not only in the Donbas but on the highway to Kyiv.
The latter thrust was stymied well shy of its objectives by the now-famous resistance of the Ukrainian armed forces and armed civilians. But as the Russians retreated they left evidence of a massacre, widely documented by Western journalists, that included women and children and men who had been bound.
Cities and towns in Ukraine had already been pounded by Russian bombs and missiles fired indiscriminately at densely populated areas. But it was the emergence of atrocities in towns such as Bucha that caught the world's attention, spawned a fresh round of international sanctions and prompted renewed talk of war crimes and genocide.
What it means
Genocide was a term first used in the 1940s, describing the Holocaust — Nazi Germany's effort to eradicate all the Jews in Europe and elsewhere (along with other categories of people deemed undesirable). The United Nations Genocide Convention in 1948 characterized several "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious people." Others have used somewhat broader categories or groupings.
Whatever differences of interpretation there may be, genocide connotes the most egregious offense imaginable in law or morality. Given the monstrous model of the Holocaust, most scholars, jurists and international leaders have preferred to use the term genocide judiciously.
"We're going to learn more and more about the devastation," Biden said. "And we'll let the lawyers decide internationally whether or not it qualifies. But it sure seems that way to me."
In the past, such determinations have taken time. There is a formal process by which the U.S. Department of State grants "recognition" of a genocide that has taken place or is taking place in some part of the world. The word recognition conveys a sense that these events are often disputed or covered up, or that they have not been widely acknowledged.
The idea that the U.S. government would make a judgment on such events Is profoundly political, both in contemporary and historical terms. Just since coming to office, the Biden administration has made two such recognitions – one for a genocide more than a century ago and one happening right now.
Rohingya and Armenians
The current secretary of state, Anthony Blinken, made reference to this process and the situation in Ukraine when he spoke at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., on March 22. Blinken was there to announce the completion of the recognition process with regard to Myanmar.
"Beyond the Holocaust, the United States has concluded that genocide was committed seven times," said Blinken. "Today marks the eighth, as I have determined that members of the Burmese military committed genocide and crimes against humanity against the Rohingya."
The Rohingya are Muslims who had lived in Burma and often been persecuted before elements of the military began trying to eliminate them entirely in 2016. Thousands have been killed and more than a million have fled the country, many to neighboring Bangladesh where they live as refugees.
But in the same speech, Blinken talked about the "unprovoked, brutal war" Russia was waging against Ukraine and "innocent men, women and children."
He noted that some of the deaths had taken place in the Kyev area on a site known as Babyn Yar, where more than 33,000 Jews were killed by Nazis in just two days in 1941.
The case of the Rohingya was considered through the years of the Trump administration but no final decision was made. However, on his last day in office, Trump's Secretary of State Mike Pompeo did announce the recognition of genocide in another long-running and similar situation. This involved China and the systematic abuse and relocation of its Muslim Uyghurs, the largest ethnic minority group in the western Xinjiang province.
Pompeo's last-minute recognition regarding the Uyghurs was the sixth such genocide recognition made by the U.S. State Department. The seventh was added not long after, in March 2021, when a newly inaugurated President Biden ended a century-long argument about the treatment of the Armenian people by Turkey, then still known as the Ottoman Empire in 1915-16.
Although many different governments have held power in Turkey since, all have strenuously objected to calling the deaths of more than a million Armenians a genocide. Millions of dollars were spent over the years on American lobbyists, including some former members of Congress, to argue against such a recognition. largely because it was presumably damaging to U.S.-Turkish relations.
Many other mass killings throughout history have not been formally recognized by the U.S. for a variety of reasons. Some of these have been prosecuted by international courts, sometimes with U.S. support. One example is the untold loss of life in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge regime of Pol Pot in the 1970s.
The other five genocides that have received official recognition by the U.S. since the formal process began in 1989 are noted here in the order of their official recognition.
Bosnia (1993) based on the massacre of more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the town of Srebrenica by Serbian soldiers and militia. The killings were part of a campaign of "ethnic cleansing" conducted under Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic and carried out largely by his army's commander Ratko Mladic.
Rwanda (1994) This recognition was based on events in a civil war that had lasted for several years. In an organized campaign lasting several months, the dominant Hutu in this central African country sought to wipe out or drive out the minority ethnic Tutsi, as well as some of their own people who tried to defend the Tutsi and a third ethnic group called the Twa. More than half a million Tutsi are believed to have been killed.
Iraq (1995) The recognition came well after Ba'athist Party strongman Saddam Hussein's campaign against Iraqi Kurds began in the previous decade and lasted into the new century. Saddam at one point used poison gas against a Kurdish city named Halabja in northern Iraq. Captured after the Second Persian Gulf War, he was executed in 2006 while still on trial for earlier crimes against the Kurds.
Darfur (2004) A civil war in the western parts of Sudan pitted two rebel groups against the government in Khartoum. The government armed militias, including the Janjaweed, to counter the rebellion. The United Nations estimated this resulted in the deaths of at least 200,000 and the displacement of more than two million. The leader of Janjaweed went on trial before the International Court in the Hague this spring.
ISIS occupied territories (2016-2017) Yazidi, Kurds and some Christians who lived in parts of Iraq, Syria, Egypt and Libya held by the Islamic State in the second decade of this century were the victims of systematic attacks and efforts to eliminate them.

Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, many people have started taking their health seriously and are incorporating changes that are needed in order to live a healthy and better life. These lifestyle changes range from intense workout sessions in the gym to long walks and practising yoga and dietary changes. But more often than not, people forget that the utensil used for cooking holds equal importance in comparison to what they are eating.
While focusing on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it is crucial that people also start focusing on the right kind of cookware used for their meals. Experts believe that there are certain vessels that usually have a toxic coating. These vessels often break down at high temperatures and also affect the quality of the food.
Cooking food in brass and iron utensils and the use of copper for drinking water have been familiar to Indian culture for centuries, however, their use has come down substantially. But as we move forward to look after our health and the nutrients we are consuming, it is imperative to ask whether going back to copper, brass, iron utensils and bronze is the right choice. Here are some of the benefits that these items have -
Iron
While using a cast iron pan, one does not need to use a lot of oil to prepare food. The cast-iron pan also has an added advantage, and that is while preparing food it can help in leaching some iron content into the food. Additionally, the iron utensils are durable and strong. However, many people use non-stick pans these days, which have a toxic and chemical coating.
Bronze
Kansa or bronze is one of the best metals to consume food in. Experts believe that the Kansa plate can reduce the acid content of the food and promotes gut and digestive health. It also helps in reducing inflammation, improving memory, and aiding in thyroid balance.
Brass
Brass or peetal is made up of copper and zinc, both of which are crucial for an individual. Brass utensils are long-lasting, durable, and non-magnetic. Experts believe that cooking food in brass cookware can only lead to up to 7% loss of nutrients, whereas, the percentage is much higher in alternate cookwares.
Copper
Drinking water from copper jars has a lot of benefits including the fact that it starts a natural process of water purification. Copper is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties that help in relieving aches and pain in joints.

Alex Jones’ Infowars files for bankruptcy protection
VICTORIA, Texas (AP) — Infowars filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as the website’s founder and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones faces defamation lawsuits over his comments that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax.
The bankruptcy filing Sunday in Texas puts civil litigation on hold while the business reorganizes its finances.
In its court filing, Infowars said it had estimated assets of $50,000 or less and estimated liabilities of $1 million to $10 million. Creditors listed in the bankruptcy filing include relatives of some of the 20 children and six educators killed in the 2012 school massacre in Connecticut.
The plaintiffs in that case have said they have been subjected to harassment and death threats from Jones’ followers because of the hoax conspiracy that Jones promoted. Jones has since conceded the shooting did happen. The families have already won defamation lawsuits against Jones.
Another newly filed lawsuit accuses Jones of hiding millions of dollars in assets, but an attorney for Jones has called that allegation “ridiculous.”

Google wants to educate and make people aware of quantum computing. And for that, it has come out with an interactive game called The Qubit Game. Google used the occasion of World Quantum Day, which was on April 14, and developed this game to attract the attention of people on the internet. Games are generally the best way to grab people’s eyeballs, and bundling that with a dose of education is a bonus.
Google has developed this game in partnership with Doublespeak games, and Google says the game is a “playful journey to building a quantum computer, one qubit at a time."
Google Qubit Game: What Is It And How It Works
Qubit is essential for building a quantum computer, in fact, Qubits are the building blocks for developing the machines. Google says you don’t need to be a Maths whiz to play the quantum computing game.
The game is available on this page, and Google has shared a detailed understanding of the game on its YouTube page as well, where it says.

“Build a quantum computer, one qubit at a time. Earn points by solving the same challenges quantum engineers face, from keeping qubits cool to block cosmic rays. If you succeed, you’ll discover new upgrades for your computer, complete big research projects, and change science forever."
Your aim is to increase the Qubits without letting them heat up, and the more Qubits you gather, the levels become difficult.
Google’s main objective is to draw more people toward quantum computing, get them excited about the field, and make them understand what a quantum computing engineer or a scientist does in their line of work.

Fire crews called to Hartlepool park to reports of Easter Sunday blaze
Firefighters were called to King Oswy Park in Hartlepool on Easter Sunday night following reports of a blaze.
Reports of an incident at the park came shortly after 9.15pm on Sunday.
Cleveland Fire Brigade said some rubbish was on fire, with one appliance from Hartlepool attending the incident.
They left the scene at around 9.24pm.
This incident comes after a spate of fires in town parks last month.
In March, Cleveland Police made a plea to parents after play equipment was damaged in a fire in Rossmere Park.
Police said at the time that a large group of youths was believed to be involved, and asked parents to check where their children were.
An arson probe was also launched after a stretch of land was set on fire in Summerhill Country Park.
Around 30sq metres of grass at the park was alight on Thursday, March 10.
A spate of similar blazes occurred 12 months ago at the park following the onset of the lighter nights. | https://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/news/fire-crews-called-to-hartlepool-park-to-reports-of-easter-sunday-blaze-3657869 | 2022-04-18T12:35:28Z | https://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/news/fire-crews-called-to-hartlepool-park-to-reports-of-easter-sunday-blaze-3657869 | true | 1 |
HOUSTON, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Howard Hughes Corporation® (NYSE: HHC) today announced the extension of JDM Partners' option period to reacquire a stake in Douglas Ranch—HHC's recently launched large-scale master planned community (MPC) in Phoenix's West Valley, which was acquired from Jerry Colangelo's JDM Partners ("JDM") and El Dorado Holdings ("El Dorado") in October for $600 million.
Under the original agreement, JDM escrowed $33.8 million as a non-refundable deposit to secure a six-month option period expiring April 16, 2022. This option period allowed JDM Partners to reacquire up to 50% of Douglas Ranch, excluding Trillium—the MPC's first 3,000-acre village—where JDM and El Dorado are already 50/50 joint-venture partners with HHC.
The Company has entered into an amendment with JDM to extend and modify the original option period. JDM now has until June 17, 2022, to exercise its first option and close on the purchase of up to 50% of Douglas Ranch for $270.5 million. JDM must close on at least 9.24% or $50 million of Douglas Ranch on or before this date or forfeit their current $33.8 million escrow deposit. Concurrent with exercising the first option, JDM will purchase a second option to acquire up to 50% of Douglas Ranch, less what was acquired upon exercising the first option. As compensation for the second option, JDM will pay HHC a non-refundable $10 million option fee that will expire on August 18, 2022, with no rights to repurchase thereafter.
"We are developing Douglas Ranch to be a market-leading community that will help meet the tremendous need for housing in one of America's fastest growing regions," said David O'Reilly, Chief Executive Officer of The Howard Hughes Corporation. "With Jerry Colangelo and his team at JDM, we are taking a long-term view of sustainable development that integrates innovative technology as we thoughtfully master plan this new community in Phoenix's West Valley."

(NewsNation) — It’s a game of strategy and brain power, and Griffin McConnell started playing it when he was 4 years old.
The 17-year-old from Golden, Colorado, is now a national chess master — just one year after undergoing his fourth brain surgery.
Griffin’s medical journey has included intense procedures to help treat severe seizures and a disease that disconnected the left side of his brain. Through many uncertainties, Griffin’s love for the game remained.
The teen had to relearn how to walk, talk and speak. And of course, to play chess again.
“It’s been a hard process of learning how to walk, learning how to talk, and also learning how to redo chess. And that takes a lot of learning and a lot of patience to do all of that again,” Griffin said Sunday on “NewsNation Prime.”
“Chess for me is just so complicated. Like everything, it feels like it’s a new game, new territory, every single time. And for me, it’s just a way of kind of using my thinking skills, and try to put a task, if you will, on finding what is the best way possible in every single game.”
Griffin’s father, Kevin McConnell, taught his son to play chess. He said the game meant even more to his family after Griffin became sick.
“It was a huge fun thing at first, but then when Griffin got sick, it became a lot more,” Kevin McConnell said. “Even the doctors at Children’s Hospital said that they felt chess played … a bit of a role in Griffin, relearning functions in the other hemisphere now that he didn’t have the use of his left hemisphere.”
“It’s been a long road, especially with his most recent brain surgery last year. We were out of the woods for a couple of years after the brain surgeries between 7 and 8. And the seizures came back and they have a major brain surgery last year. And we let that be Griffin’s choice because he was old enough to make it. And he wanted to move forward with that, because he wasn’t getting any better at chess. The seizures were definitely affecting him.
“What’s interesting is after the surgery, which was February of last year, the doctor said it’d be about six months until he kind of got back to baseline. And in September of last year, he went from chess expert to literally five months later, national master, which is a super, super fast climb. And so, I mean, it’s been a long journey, but he’s super inspiring. It’s hard to sweat the small things,” Kevin McConnell added.
Through it all, Griffin had a dream to become a national master and the determination to make it happen. Now, the 17-year-old is using his experience to pay it forward. Together, Griffin and his father have started a nonprofit organization that provides children and young adults with disabilities the opportunity to compete in chess against peers based on age, grade and chess rating.
In June, ChessAbilities is hosting its North American tournament in Denver. | https://www.wnct.com/news/offbeat-and-unique/teen-becomes-national-chess-master-after-4th-brain-surgery/ | 2022-04-18T12:37:21Z | https://www.wnct.com/news/offbeat-and-unique/teen-becomes-national-chess-master-after-4th-brain-surgery/ | true | 36 |
